00:01:08
Speaker 2: Don't over promise.

00:01:09
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try not to, but I do want to say, twenty five years ago today, a show debuted on HBO, not a spin off, but from the creator of the most successful sitcom.

00:01:22
Speaker 2: In network history, Pretty Day, Pretty Day, Pretty Good.

00:01:28
Speaker 3: Larry David debuted Curby Your Enthusiasm twenty five years ago today.

00:01:34
Speaker 2: So that's one of those holy nikes. Twenty five years ago. Then how many years ago was this when we were watching First and Ten, The Bulls, Bean Business and dream On and all those shows. One hundred and twenty five years.

00:01:47
Speaker 3: Twenty five years ago, Curb Your Enthusiasm debuted, and I always thought it was one of the best comedies. I actually hot take. I like Curb better than Seinfeld. Sometimes it's a little more raw, a little more relatable that I don't know about that.

00:02:03
Speaker 4: No ther thing about Curb, though, is it took like, didn't take at least one break. So you say twenty five years and it just ended what two seasons ago? Are you season ago?

00:02:11
Speaker 2: Yeah? But they took like a nine year hiatus or something, and.

00:02:14
Speaker 3: There are breaks in between, ye, And they were long seasons like Seinfeld. But I mean, we think about all the comedy Larry David's brought us between those two shows, so props to him twenty five years since Curb. So just a little timestamp today as we hang in for the great Dan Patrick here on Fox Sports Radio.

00:02:32
Speaker 2: I love how they solved a murder mystery because Larry David was filming during a Dodgers.

00:02:36
Speaker 3: Game, and that is wild. Then we're gonna get to the Dodgers. I do want to bring up one thing.

00:02:40
Speaker 2: That's a true story you can look up on your own time.

00:02:41
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk Dodgers and baseball playoffs and NFL, but don't don't blink because another NBA season is gonna be here before you know it. I didn't think it was cool to hear the return of round Ball rock the John tesh theme that we all love.

00:02:57
Speaker 2: So mugger fan of John teshtan you rich listens to him on the never Listen He's he's just excited for the rest of the world to join his funsketball.

00:03:08
Speaker 5: The Peacock announcer was just casually talking over the intro of this NBA preseason game with that playing behind him, and it just made you feel yeah like a kid again.

00:03:20
Speaker 2: Basketball? Yeah, you hear this song?

00:03:23
Speaker 3: It's slid in the kitchen, don't get and you play that yet?

00:03:27
Speaker 2: Did everyone have that nerve poop that went over the door? Yep? You get all ready for some basketball?

00:03:33
Speaker 3: I just backed that song is so synonymous with great nineties NBA that we all grew up with that made us fall love maybe with basketball. Right, So the return of round ball rock. But let's go to the Dodgers for a second. Last night, I talked about this earlier, but the more I'm thinking about it, did the Dodgers dup us Cavino by like Mark duper like? Not intentional, but by not winning one hundred and ten games by battling for that division until the last weeks of the season with the padres by not.

00:04:09
Speaker 2: Only no, it's not the Dodgers duping us, or did they f with us only to show up big and be that team all along? It's shame on us for not realizing the obvious of It's a long season. Health is wealth and we should have known that if everybody's healthy come postseason, they're going to be impossible to be And that was the goal, and that's the goal ever how they're pitching was what is the thing that applies to all sports?

00:04:34
Speaker 3: Just get into the playoffs and be healthy and ready for when you're in. I just I can't say that I wasn't surprised. I think we're all surprised that the Dodgers barely won their division and they were the three seed, which means they had to play in the wildcard round. No one would have ever thought the Dodgers would win roughly ninety games, have to play in.

00:04:55
Speaker 2: The wild card and go through all this and have to click though the right time, and sure enough, once he's hitting bombs, tay Oscar's hitting bombs. Key Y Hernandez is turning it up like he always does.

00:05:06
Speaker 5: And every single guy you just mentioned missed a good amount of time.

00:05:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, as Ron Darling said, Keith k Hernandez has look like Keith Hernandez in the playoffs.

00:05:15
Speaker 2: I saw that.

00:05:16
Speaker 5: Yeah, But you guys on the Afternoon Show, you talk about this often that baseball is a little bit different because no matter your record, no matter exactly what went on through that long season, it's just whatever team is hot at the time. We've seen the San Francisco Giants and other teams like that, come together right before the playoffs at the exact perfect time, and then make a run no doubt.

00:05:39
Speaker 3: In fact, the statos of the thirty years since they incorporated the wild Card, since the Major League Baseball Strike and then they came back again with the new realignment since then thirty seasons. Only seven of those thirty seasons has the team with the best record won the World Series, which is really interesting when you think.

00:06:01
Speaker 2: How twenty three out of thirty years.

00:06:03
Speaker 3: It was really just a team that put it together, got healthy, got hot in October, and you know that's just you're seeing with the Dodgers, because the Brewers were the best team all along.

00:06:13
Speaker 2: Thanking all Dwayne's stats. And speaking of stats, you gotta tip your hat. I got a flat brim on today, because how do you feel about that? By the way, I feel like certain hats are made to be worn certain ways. I rock a sweet curve. I curve them like the best of them. Can you be a guy that does both?

00:06:32
Speaker 3: I feel like, uh my curve is like Flash Gordon's bro I can curve it up.

00:06:35
Speaker 2: Yeah you can. Because certain hats are meant to be curved and other hats are meant to be flat.

00:06:41
Speaker 3: It's just it is not meant to be cached. It depends on what type of hat it is.

00:06:45
Speaker 2: But speaking of hats, Yamamoto was rocking his Dodgers' hat strong yesterday complete game, the first since twenty seventeen, first postseason complete game. Last person to do it was Erlander against the Yankees all those years ago, and the Dodgers haven't done it since four according to the Elias Sports bureau known as Danny g. So, I'm sung up on God for a second.

00:07:10
Speaker 3: I'm sorry what I just by the way, it's funny to think that the baseball hat, a piece of sports equipment, is such a universally we would you say, accepted fashion statement. Yeah, no one wears a chef's hat, as Mitch Hedburg. Mitch Hedburg has some line about like you only wear that if you're a chef.

00:07:32
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's funny. You're the sweetish chef for Jon Arts. Baseball hat is pretty much the only hat from sports that we rock on a regular basis.

00:07:45
Speaker 5: Here's one more pitching stat for you, with Blake Snell and Yoshi Yamamoto are the first starter since twenty sixteen to throw eight plus innings in consecutive postseason games.

00:07:56
Speaker 2: And yeah, so when you're starting pitching is delivering like that, dogs are gonna be hard to beat. And they didn't have that in the regular season. And we forget that.

00:08:04
Speaker 3: In the preseason in spring training before all the injuries happened.

00:08:09
Speaker 2: The whole joke was and they got Blake Snell.

00:08:14
Speaker 3: When they signed Blake Snell, that was almost like an f you to everyone else, like all right, defending champions, Well, well hold on, and you added Blake Snell and now.

00:08:22
Speaker 2: But then he didn't play all season because he was hurt.

00:08:24
Speaker 3: It's but the Dodgers fans dreams are coming to fruition. Your big free agent should have thrown a complete game win in Game one, but you know, Dave Roberts, you know wanted to, you know, toy with everyone. Game two, your Japanese signs pitcher that you outbid people for and won. Yamamoto did what you wanted him to do. Now what's next? Glass Now if he gets it done? And then what Game four? You go to the biggest star in baseball over the last fifty plus years, show hey TONI.

00:08:56
Speaker 2: So arguably the Dodgers are doing everything we thought they would do. Six months ago.

00:09:00
Speaker 3: It's just the last six months of injuries and confusion made us forget.

00:09:03
Speaker 2: Maybe for a second, reminding everybody that they are the new evil Empire without a doubt, and that with likable players. Though you know, it's hard to deny he really is. Yeah, I mean, I saw I just hate their stupid hip flexer dance that cove.

00:09:21
Speaker 5: I saw a Yankees fan like you post yesterday. You know what, Yes, I hate the Dodgers, but it's hard to root against some of the players because I like a couple of the players on their team. Could you not like Mookie Bets? Yeah, they're just not like Freddie. They have they have magic Johnson smiles.

00:09:36
Speaker 2: How could you not like Shoho Tan? He transcends, you know, fandom, He's just everybody, Denny.

00:09:42
Speaker 3: As I've I've pointed out before. You know, we're new to the Dan Patrick audience for a lot of people. I'm a Mets fan from New York. My kids are five and eight, and I see them falling in love with the Dodgers because we live out here in Los Angeles. All their little schoolmates and all the kids they play little league and softball and base well with like the Dodgers. So I'm watching them wanting to hate them as a Mets fan, But it's hard to see why my kids wouldn't like, like you said, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Bett Show, Hey Will Smith, Tommy Edmund, these guys are tay oscar like there. It's it's hard to really say they're hateable. It's like when Steph and the Golden State Warriors and do you hate Steph Curry?

00:10:24
Speaker 2: It was very hard. I mean I started hate Freddy Freeman's flat top. I don't. I don't really, I'm not a fan of that.

00:10:28
Speaker 3: That does big chompers, that smile chause chops bothered me.

00:10:31
Speaker 2: I mean Clinton.

00:10:32
Speaker 3: Kershaw, that story where you got to see him sort of close out the career the right way, and that he's you know, I don't know.

00:10:37
Speaker 2: It just feels like.

00:10:38
Speaker 5: And even Max Munsey dumped by the A's back in the day and now leads the Dodgers in all time postseason home runs.

00:10:45
Speaker 3: So the question was Max Monsey makes me realize how many people need glasses and don't realize it. Remember he got glasses and like got back to where he was. You might have not even realized how blind you are it's true.

00:10:58
Speaker 2: Did the Dodgers f with us year a little bit? Or is it a matter of don't sleep on the usual usual suspects, like like we stated first hours, like we spend so much time speculating. It's just the nature of the beast and what guys do and what we do. It's like, well, who do you think it has a shot this year? But it comes down to the usual suspects more time than it doesn't.

00:11:18
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make one dumb analogy and we'll move on. We'll talk a little NFL. I commented on your flat brim hat. Yeah, you won't let that go. Well, I won't because it's uh. I'll give you an analogy to how some ballplayers, like I find it funny when there are those rare baseball players that sometimes they'll wear the high socks and then sometimes they'll where as I call it, the King Griffy Junior look, where it's a very low pants down to the ankle, like the CC Sabbathia jammis. Can you can you be a guy that rocks the flat brim and then on another day rocks like a totally curved brim.

00:11:54
Speaker 2: You can't. But yeah, do you mean can you be I want to feel like, what do you think you are?

00:11:59
Speaker 3: I am It's not about the guy. Do you realize, Yeah, you're not wear hats. You're not gotta wear hats. I'm telling you.

00:12:06
Speaker 2: Certain hats are meant that way, and other hats are meant to be curved.

00:12:10
Speaker 4: Cam Newton gives us a strength to do whatever we want. Just wear whatever hat he wants.

00:12:14
Speaker 2: That guy wears a mouthy hat. Yeah, so absolutely, it depends on what kind of hat it is. Some are meant to be bent and curved and some are meant to be worn flat brim. It just depends on the fit. So I'm just saying, yes, the answer is yes, you could do caoth. Okay, just I do both all the time. Some hat some hats you buy come with the curved brim, so it just is what it is.

00:12:37
Speaker 3: I say, like, can you can you be the guy that wears a baggy jeans one day and then skinny jeans the next. It's different looks. You can do whatever you want. You got to mix it up. Well, I want to bring up one other thing that has to do with the Dodgers, and then we're gonna get into a lot of NFL. We're at that point, Danny g Every year we always say, real week six is when we could start really assessing.

00:12:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, last year, you guys extended it to week seven.

00:13:00
Speaker 3: I almost feel like I want to extend it again. I just saw a headline it was like bad week, bad game, or bed season for the Bills, and I'm like, oh, let's slow down.

00:13:09
Speaker 2: Who knows well two in a row, I would say, uh, oh, come on the four and two. I know we're like a third of the way through the season, so.

00:13:17
Speaker 3: We're gonna We're gonna assess because Danny, I know, there's some funny power rankings that have come out. It's like who some people have at the top. It's like, do we really believe it or not? Well, we'll talk to NFL. But with the Dodgers just wrapping up two victories in Milwaukee, there was a Dodgers fan, a social media influencer.

00:13:34
Speaker 2: Yeah who his name is, Willie Prince Mada. Willy Prince Mada put on his Dodgers jersey and he went to Miller Park and he was blown away by the hospitality of not only the workers and the concession people, but all the fans who were there.

00:13:52
Speaker 3: To welcome him in Dodgers gear. Yeah, I mean the audio is not great. Play like five seconds. I mean he was, he was going around Miller Park.

00:14:01
Speaker 2: Take a lesson.

00:14:03
Speaker 5: I'm you right now as the nicest people I think I've ever met.

00:14:12
Speaker 2: I mean, nicest people ever met. I mean, would you call them Milwaukeeans? Is that? Is that the right word?

00:14:15
Speaker 3: That's what he should thought they were Mediawaukeeans. Yeah, I think that's what it is. He was shocked by hospitable and nice they were. It was a culture shock for I imagine he's an LA guy as a Dodgers fan. For example, is he in Phoenix?

00:14:35
Speaker 2: He's out of Phoenix, but he's a big dog, but he's a big Dodgers fan. Like for example, when I went to the World Series last year at Dodgers Stadium, I wore my Yankees jersey. I got heckled, man, but I expected that. I didn't feel like my life was being threatened. But I was definitely heckled and definitely made fun of. And I felt a little weird with my girlfriend there and everyone calling me out left and right, especially after they lost, and I'm walking out and you're not going to get that at a Miller Park, You're just not It's fan bases, right.

00:15:04
Speaker 3: It's like some fan bases we'll see an opposing fan and be like, hey, yo, good luck, welcome to the stadium, enjoy, and then like listen, they do not treat you like that.

00:15:14
Speaker 2: In Philly.

00:15:14
Speaker 3: I will tell I promise you if I were to ever go to ever go to Philadelphia, which I have, I put my Mets jersey in a bag and I don't even put it on until I get to the stadium because trash bag. Because I feel like if I leave my car, if I would have left my car wearing a Mets jersey, I feel like someone would have messed with my car.

00:15:38
Speaker 2: You know, Philly not so much.

00:15:40
Speaker 3: If you're a Yankees fan and you go to Fenway, you think you're going to be treated kindly.

00:15:44
Speaker 2: It's just they're so happy to have you there visiting their ballpark. They want to make sure you have such a great experience you come back. I don't want to kiss the ass of so hold on. It's two things though. Kindness actually exists, so that's the shock. You know, people are actually kind and other places, so that's refreshing and shocking all at the same time. And there really is something called customer care and etiquette and hospitality where certain places take a lot of pride in, Hey, make sure you welcome people so that they have a great experience. And that's what happens at Miller Park. But it doesn't happen everywhere. And we notice that too when we travel, like damn. Some people lean into it, some not at all because they're like, hey, it's New York. Who cares, you're coming back regardless, we don't need you. Yeah, they're like, you give the analogy before. It's a Sometimes if a girl's too good looking, she feels like she doesn't really need to do much, she doesn't need to do a whole lot to please you.

00:16:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like that's like that. I feel like the worst super Bowl ever was in New York. We've covered She's not to age ourselves. We've covered almost twenty super bowls, right, and New York was the worst one because New York City was like, yeah, super Bowl's here, who cares? We said, it's the difference of you're lucky to be here, Hey, we're walking over, get out of our way. Meanwhile, tourists are happy to be there. It's the difference between you're lucky to be here versus we're lucky to have you, We're happy to have you. Indianapoli Park, Milwaukee, Indianapolis. The super Bowl in Indianapolis was great, the Super Bowl. We've been to all Star games. Are saying Indianpo is the chubby chick. Is that what's going on Indianapolis is the welcoming chubby girl. I'm doing anything they kind of please you, exactly, I gotcha.

00:17:29
Speaker 4: Even within the state of Wisconsin, you know, people might be nice at in Milwaukee at Brewers game, but then I've gone to like a Wisconsin Badgers football game against Iowa. They were brutal. I was right next to the student section. They were they were savage, they were hostile and yelling.

00:17:46
Speaker 2: Didn't they pant you and beat you up?

00:17:48
Speaker 5: No?

00:17:49
Speaker 4: No, but listen it it can. It can differ even in the state.

00:17:53
Speaker 2: You know, the Brewers.

00:17:55
Speaker 3: I've been to a game at Miller Park, and I back up that Dodgers fan. They have a really cool situation where there's like I guess you would say the little downtown area in Milwaukee where the bars if they there's certain bars where if you buy a drink or a brod or a sandwich or something.

00:18:12
Speaker 2: They give you a little ticket. You're like, what's this ticket for? They go, oh, that's.

00:18:15
Speaker 3: Free if you want to take one of the little little buses to the stadium. That way you don't have to drive and you can have some drinks and stuff. And you're like, what this is amazing. They have these little like almost like free buses that it's like, hey, have some drinks.

00:18:28
Speaker 2: Have some cheese curds, have some a sense of being ethos centric to the point where we think wherever we are and whatever we do is the greatest, and then we're just surprised that other people also have something cool going on.

00:18:40
Speaker 3: Ye hey, it's a pretty cool scene I would have expected in Milwaukee. So hey, if you want to hit us up at Covin on Rich if you feel like there's a stadium or city experience that you know you give the thumbs up. Who do you give a good YELP review to? Essentially who rolled out the red carpet for you? We'll take your feedback. Plus, coming up, we're gonna do midweek major the biggest stories in the world of sports and entertainment. We'll let you know are they mid are they weak? Are they major stories? We'll break that all down. Plus we are going to get to some NFL and what a wild season this has been. Who are arguably your top five teams? If you were to do your power rankings a third of the way through, is it obvious? Is it ridiculously not obvious? Would you be shocked? Who's in your top five? We'll get to all that next right here, Fox Sports Radio.

00:21:51
Speaker 3: You know, my daughter who's eight, actually asked me, she goes, Dad, why do the boys in my school stay six seven?

00:21:57
Speaker 2: I'm like, because they're a little idiots. I don't know what. I saw a meme that said something along the lines of, yeah, we didn't do six seven because we did one, two, three into the foe. That's what we did. So thank you guys for hanging out with us. Covino and Rich. We got midweek major coming up down here on the West Side. I know the East side gets chili.

00:24:18
Speaker 2: Watchers in Westfield. Yeah. But recently people are like, we don't want to be known for the town ed Gean. Game.

00:24:24
Speaker 3: There's something cool. Do something better, Scotch Plines, Scotch Pines, something cool? You got spot what's up?

00:24:30
Speaker 2: Buddy? All right? How you guys doing it?

00:24:32
Speaker 7: Let's just stall in here, all right, lebron dropping some dating advice for the gentleman out there, and that's quote, watch out for the ruthless ass Bees, I'll censor myself Bees. So Lebron appeared on his wife's podcast Everybody's Crazy with a panel of other guests, and they were discussing relationships and how quickly they fall apart these days. So Lebron decided to chime in with some lessons learned from the Laker locker room, saying that how the cause is, how women have flipped this script and guys are trying to be good, asking themselves what they did wrong.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: He said, it ain't you.

00:25:05
Speaker 7: He said that the crazy tales he's heard makes them believe that some women out there don't have men's best interest at heart. There cutthroat and ruthless. So take it from Lebron, he's hearing it firsthand. Midweek or Major, stay away from the ruthless espies.

00:25:18
Speaker 2: It's just another lesson learned Alison Chain's style. I think this is major because it's Lebron James and it's great advice. I think we fail a lot of times as far as taking advice from our elders. And he's elder status right now, especially in the NBA. It's a status. No, he's elder status, oh, elders.

00:25:41
Speaker 3: But higher than he's got a son in the NBA. So when you think about this, he is a dad, and I'm sure he passes this information, in this wisdom down to his kids, Like, hey man, it's a different world.

00:25:54
Speaker 2: We're living in Kadeem Hardistan style. Different world. You gotta be you gotta be careful out there because people are gonna try to get at you. And for these young players to ignore his wisdom, I think a shame on them. I think he's passed down some good information, some good life lessons to these young cats in the NBA, and they should be taking notes because, let's just say, what used to appear sweet and innocent love and relationships back in the day, It's just not that way anymore. Man, Listen. I think it's major.

00:26:24
Speaker 3: Also, I wrote down the word you just said, wisdom. Lebron's got wisdom and maturity at this stage. Tree, He's no longer the eighteen year old kid from Akron. He's lived, He's seen stuff more.

00:26:35
Speaker 2: Than most have.

00:26:36
Speaker 3: Right, and you know, just from watching a dumb show like Love Is Blind, I feel like my wife and I constantly look at each other and say, oh my goodness, young people are so dumb. Young people are trying you. People are young. People lack discipline, maturity, how to handle anything.

00:26:50
Speaker 2: Remember how we used to try to hang on to a relationship. People are disposable more than ever, so they don't have a young man or woman's best interested in mind. Sometimes a lot of.

00:27:02
Speaker 3: Times it's well, you know, what's the next best thing? And Lebron James sees it more than anyone being in a locker room with these young men. So I think Lebron's words of wisdom Trump are very own mics words.

00:27:13
Speaker 2: I think, yeah, we agree major.

00:27:15
Speaker 7: I saw one of the you know those balloon popping shows that you see on YouTube or social media.

00:27:19
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, we're like you you don't want to date someone you pop a balloon?

00:27:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.

00:27:22
Speaker 7: I saw a guy walk in and half the women pop the balloon because he was wearing sunglasses.

00:27:28
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:27:29
Speaker 2: I then they took it. They took the.

00:27:31
Speaker 7: Sunglasses off, and he was like the most handsome dude ever.

00:27:33
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, people, Oh sorry, men and women.

00:27:36
Speaker 3: Everyone's like pinks are the greatest, and everyone's like oddly too picky.

00:27:39
Speaker 2: Now, it's way too picky. Too many options out there, all right.

00:27:42
Speaker 7: Josh Allen has his love of his life, so he's staying away from the roof to last p's, but he seems to be gaining perspective from married life, which might be playing into his sort of lackluster season. So Alan spoke with ESPN ahead of Monday Nights Bill's loss to the Fat Falcons, and he was asked what his new wife, Heleys Steinfeld, taught him about as they continue.

00:28:03
Speaker 2: Their life together.

00:28:03
Speaker 7: Building their life together the biggest revelation for Alan, he says, quote, maybe I am more than a football player. He went on to say that his whole dream as a kid was to be a QB and never thought of anything outside of that or beyond that. He said he hopes to get he gets to play the game for a very long time, as long as he physically can, but there is life after it as well, So maybe sort of changing perspective, rethinking life or maybe rethinking life now, who knows. But he speaks very highly of his wife, saying that she's provides a lot of morale and support midweekly major.

00:28:34
Speaker 2: I think it is major. I'm not trying to say that maybe his mind is elsewhere now, I'm thinking too much about those things, and asks why they lost two in a row, because right now he needs to focus on being just a football player. But he's right, you retire, you're an old guy on the field, but a young man in life. So what's next? And I don't know why I thought of this, but I thought of Nolan Ryan. How like he has his whole life as a rancher. Right, he was just as much of a ranch i as he was a baseball player. So I'm sure there's more to life than baseball for Josh Allen. He just had to figure out what that is. MO applies to everybody.

00:29:09
Speaker 1: You know.

00:29:09
Speaker 3: It's funny with saying Nolan Ryan because he also had a really supportive, great wife. I think the story is major, and I'll tell you why I think it's major because it's very unfair to Heley Steinfeld for anyone to assume that two losses in a row have anything to do with his focus because he's married.

00:29:26
Speaker 2: No, but people will point at them, but especially when you hear this story.

00:29:29
Speaker 3: Players have wives, girlfriends, some have both, some have kids, baby mom is.

00:29:33
Speaker 2: There's drama on and off the field for everyone.

00:29:35
Speaker 3: I think it's healthy that he's looking at life outside of I'm not just a football player. And if you think that's the reason the bill's lost too in a row.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: You're an idiot. And by the way, it goes with the trend of a lot of superstars of today, like like Luca who recently said, like, yeah, man, I don't plan on sticking around all that long because I got life to live. Yeah, but Josh Allen didn't say that. He said, no, no, play as long as he can. But I think that we're seeing priorities change, a different priority with young people, for sure. I think it's a healthy one, all right.

00:30:06
Speaker 7: Speaking of players in life after football, Jason Kelsey definitely enjoying his life after football, making what hundreds of millions of dollars hosting a podcast, but having to do some damage control this week. I guess with that popularity comes a little bit of negative side for something he didn't even do. So Kelsey somehow got sucked into the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show controversy, with fake quotes being circulated online gaining a lot of steam, so.

00:30:32
Speaker 2: He had to take to x to defend himself.

00:30:35
Speaker 7: So the quote that he was getting attributed for wrongly attributed for was if bad Bunny is a bad fit for the Super Bowl, then maybe people making those comments are a bad fit for America's future, so he had to go on x to say, unless you hear something directly from me, consider what's being conveyed somewhere else as false.

00:30:54
Speaker 2: He says he.

00:30:55
Speaker 7: Usually doesn't get involved in things like this because I'm sure there's so much fake stuff online, but he said he felt the need to address it with the number of accounts reposting this fake quote some midweeker major.

00:31:04
Speaker 2: I think it's major, Not because of Jason Kelcey. This is just one story of a bigger problem, and we've noticed it more than ever in the past few weeks with all this AI stuff, with Sora and everyone making fake videos left and right, with all the political changes going on in the world, we can't really afford to not get the truth and get the facts wrong all the time. And it happens every day and more so than ever before. So it's not just Kelsey. It's like, Hey, is this real or not? That's becoming a big problem.

00:31:34
Speaker 3: I think the positive spin on this for Jason Kelcey should be, Hey, I got a huge platform with millions of people watching my podcast with my brother. If you hear or see me say it there it's true. Otherwise assume it's not. And I agree with Cavino, it's major in that Sora and all this AI stuff. We've joked about how remember ads and fake girls ruined my Space back in the two thousands. I think AI might ruin the scrolling experience. I think we might dip away from social media a little bit if it continues to just be all fake crap.

00:32:09
Speaker 7: By the way, that video of me fighting a gorilla and winning was actually real.

00:32:12
Speaker 2: No, No, the first.

00:32:15
Speaker 3: Spot the video you made of me stealing Chipotle napkins and the and the employees tackling me, No, that was real.

00:32:22
Speaker 2: You want to squeeze one more fun. A reminder here, though, spot before we move on, is to approach everything, and we have to do that as a show that that does some prep believe it or not? Hey, is that a real story or not? To that?

00:32:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have to approach everything you read and everything you see this rectangle, is this real or not? If you approach everything with that in the back of your head, that's the only safe way to really handle it.

00:32:48
Speaker 2: Hey, I got duped last night. I might've been lying, and I'll admit it.

00:32:51
Speaker 3: I saw a video it looked like from a ring doorbell camp, and I thought a guy messed with a porcupine and it shot like spikes at him, and my wife's like, you idiot, that's fake.

00:33:01
Speaker 2: I'm like, how am I supposed to know? Yeah? And then you feel deflated, And that's why we're all prom to put the phones down. I think sooner than later as a result.

00:33:10
Speaker 7: Let me squeeze in one more in honor of spooky season in the postseason, So Dodgers starred to askar Hernandez fully embracings, I love the stories, fully embracing spooky season. As the Dodgers take on the Brewers this week for the NLCS, Hernandez reveals that he didn't stay at the Dodgers team hotel in Milwaukee because his wife believes that it's haunted with ghosts. Uh So the actually, by the way, and he wasn't alone. Mookie Bets did the same thing. So the Fister Hotel has been called quote baseball's most haunted hotel.

00:33:41
Speaker 2: That's called the Fister.

00:33:42
Speaker 7: Yeah, it has been scaring baseball players for years.

00:33:47
Speaker 2: Apparently.

00:33:48
Speaker 7: The hotel was opened in eighteen ninety three by Charles Fister and players since then have said, have they been seeing apparitions of Fister roaming the staircase? Hold on the sound of knocking pounding? Oh no, that was that was.

00:34:04
Speaker 2: That was That was mookie.

00:34:07
Speaker 7: Electronics turning on and off and objects moving. Her dad as did say that he doesn't believe in ghost and he stayed there before without any incidents, but because his wife is on the trip, he had to accommodate her and make her happy, so they had to find another hotel. That being said, he said he spoke with teammates and apparently these incidents have been happening all week, so maybe there's something to it.

00:34:26
Speaker 2: Who knows New Week or major. It's a funny story, but it's a midsh Come on, I like it. It's postseason ghost season, but just say postseason ghost season.

00:34:35
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:34:35
Speaker 2: See, he wrapped it all together, his postseason ghost season, and it's a good story. It's a fun story, and I don't blame him. I'm not judging him for doing that. If his wife was uncomfortable and it was something to it, why stay there.

00:34:49
Speaker 3: I remember before we moved to Los Angeles, I stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt once and someone's like it's haunted my wife and I stayed at a quote haunted hotel in New Bronfels, Texas.

00:34:58
Speaker 2: I you know, it's fun. It adds a layer to your adventure.

00:35:01
Speaker 3: But I guess if you're trying to focus on the NLCS and your wife's like, yeah, it's haunted.

00:35:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Rich, it's over and you can't really yawn because every time you yawn in October, go sticks is junk in your face. So why would you want to take those chances at the Fister Hotel? Also, don't sleep on your stomach. WHOA, Yeah, I think the story's mid but I like it. Thank you Midweek Major.

00:40:01
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm getting I'm getting choked up.

00:40:03
Speaker 5: Okay, choked up because your niners aren't on any of these power right now.

00:40:06
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna get to that. But again tomorrow, all schooling fifty hits and we'll be talking Aaron Rodgers getting you ready for Thursday night football. Now speaking up, according to Pro Football Talk NFL on Fox and The USA Today, The USA, which I think they still throw into your door at a hotels. They all have the Tampa Bay Bucks at number one on their NFL power rankings. Now, when is that legit or prisoner of the moment?

00:40:32
Speaker 3: But when you do, you well, the prison of the moment is absolutely true because power rankings are based on Now Okay, so I mean that's prison of the moment because that's where we're living in the present. But if I asked you realistically, if things stayed the same, do you feel like the Bucks are a super Bowl contender?

00:40:51
Speaker 2: Dude? If Baker Mayfield is able to play like that against your team with no receivers, how good could they be when they're healthy? And Buka is turning out to be a star, Yeah, he's but he's making stars out of all the Johnson's on the team, all these ancillary people. And that's what I believe Colins said that in the promo we just played. That's what MVPs look like. That's what they do. They lift everybody else. And he's been able to do that just on pure not only athleticism in the way he's playing, Just like the energy he brings to the team. Man, it's contagious and you see it. So I do believe that, and Bucky Bucky will come back. Bucky Irving will come back for them.

00:41:30
Speaker 3: On a couple of these teams power rankings NFL and Fox left off the Cults, but number two for Pro Football Talk and USA today the Cults.

00:41:39
Speaker 2: Do we really believe in Daniel Jones?

00:41:40
Speaker 3: As long as Jonathan Taylor's healthy and this guy's running a muck on everyone? You can't really discount that team. They are playing as good as anyone, right, I mean, you can't just say, well, my preconceived notion is.

00:41:53
Speaker 2: That they're not great.

00:41:54
Speaker 3: If they're playing the way they're playing, you have to have the Cults at least in your top five.

00:41:57
Speaker 2: I think.

00:42:00
Speaker 3: I think the Lions, even though they did have a stinker against the Chiefs, I think the Lions went all said and done, That's a team that is in everyone's top rankings. There's the question mark that you can think about as you go to work today. Steelers, do we believe in Aaron Rodgers? We joked about it at the beginning of the year, like, wouldn't that be crazy? Well, guess what, Rich, We're going to talk about it tomorrow on our regular show. Well, so thanks again to all the affiliates. Thank you to Dan Patrick, check us out, Covino and rich I will see you guys next time.

00:42:31
Speaker 2: A riba there, Chief Baby, see you in the promis Land. Goodbye, guys, have a great one.
