Giants were one of the big ones you missed four hundred and fifteen feet, Diamondbacks four hundred and thirteen feet, and Guardians four hundred and ten feet.
Alright, all right, Second category?
What's this?
What's the park with the smallest to mension? Is there a team that has like center field like three ninety something who's in last place? I think is probably short because their lines extend deep. Yeah, the Keith Fernandez always talked about Wriglely being his favorite place to hit. Where's my list here? Well, I don't want to hassle. Yeah, Oh, I mean it's okay.
Yankee Stadium shortest is actually Petco Park and Angel Stadium, oplied for the shortest.
You got the pesky pole, you got boss and that's short. Yankees got a little little little nook and right field three eight, I think right, jeez, it's like aball.

It's so funny when you move on from a sports seasonally mentally, like when you are like I am in my mind like football. I'm on my mental timeout from football. I had to go through the teams, like who's the running back the NFL year round?

What a failure. I am, Trevor Bauer. No one said, ah, another good one wants that guy? Still, Hey, great job, Eric, Yeah, man, your patient's paid off.
Man, Eric, I'm glad that you finally got in and you won. Gonna mail off that shining sea in our swingey to Phoenix for you.
Throwing some coozies since you're a good dude, right, buddy, Yeah, you guess you need coozies in Arizona. Keep those drinks.
I know.
The Pope, Yes, you said that he and a b are the same guy. I said, how are Antonio Brown and the Pope alike? Alike? And the question is this, do you before I tell you how they're alike? When I say social media? Do you think social media is real life? Certain aspects I tend to believe more than others, Like if someone's shown me how great their relationship is through photos all the time, I don't necessarily believe that. Yeah, right, I saw a great plus from this dad on TikTok I follow, and he's like everyone with kids every weekend is a struggle. So if you see a great picture of like the family together after I have an ice cream after a game. Do you know the struggle it took to get to that point? Danny? If I see a picture of Little CoA smiling on your lap, do I know what went into getting to that moment? Let me tell you. I stayed.
I was back East, and I stayed with my brother and his wife and their kid, and seeing it firsthand, living with it for a couple of days, versus what I just saw posted on social media for Mother's Day.
Completely, Yeah, you're seeing everybody's best, right, No one's advertising, so we know not to believe that fully. And people like to exaggerate and show off and brag and yeah, were you really sit in first row at the game? Probably not, You just did that for the gram. So, but when it comes to people posting their thoughts or like a news break or alert, you assume that it's real because it's coming from them the source right now, now social media from the sense of sad news alerts, that's one thing. But how people present themselves. And I bring up how the Pope and Antonio Brown dealing with something similar. The Pope who was announced last week, and I think it's cool how they have footage of Pope Leo at the White Sox game. Because he's American. He just seems more relatable than any religious figure we've ever seen in our lifetime, at least pretty much. Yeah. I bring up the Pope only because his older brother's on social media talking about politics and he's pretty opinionated, and it makes you realize that even if you're the Pope, you might have a brother, an uncle, a parent who goes on social media and starts yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. And did you see what the Pope's older brother was saying about Nancy Pelosi. Let's just say not nice things, things you would think of pope's brother might not say. But again, the pope's brother is like Antonio Brown then now, but the Pope has to deal with social media. He's the pope and he has to probably field questions like hey, Pope Leo, like, no, your older brother, you see what he's doing. And Antonio Brown came out and said, oh, just so you know, in real life, I love Tom Brady. Don't look at my ex and all that, which makes you wonder X meaning to X meaning Twitter, don't look at by Twitter? Do some people deem social media? As like, that's just not real life. That's the imaginary me, you know. I think other people say it's the real me, and I think that's what we get. I think that's on us, and we're getting trolled all the time. It's on the like Gen X generation for not reading through the bs where younger generation is slightly younger generation, the weenioles or millennials not Money's not younger. Money is like forty now Gen Z slightly younger than us view it as like who cares? Meaning like your your parents right, remember, like your family member wouldn't accept certain people because they really as friends on Facebook because they're really not friends like our buddy, our buddy Stanley Tate did he used to do that. Buddy, stan will be like, yo, this guy friend requested me, but we're not really that tight. I'm like, yeah, say it's a Facebook because you know Stanley Tucci. No, because again, an older generation would take things too literally, as do we sometimes when it's on social media. So that's us. That's like shame on us, bad on us. When a younger a slightly younger generation looks at it like nonsense. I could say and do what I want and it has no ramifications. It doesn't matter. It's not a real reflection of me or my family members. I guess garbage is trash. It's all fake because they grew up knowing how bs it all is. When we put an ounce of stock of reality into it's still and credibility into it. So the Pope and ab how are they dealing with the same thing? The pope people asking about his brother tweeting about Nancy Pelosi, Antonio Brown being asked that way, you said you love Tom Brady, but what about your Twitter? He says, it's not real life. So you got to ask yourself. Do you look at social media other than officially verified news accounts? Do you look at social media as real life? And I'd like to think it's a weird, exaggerated falsehood. I do not see your mother's day photo and assume life is all sunshine the rainbows, right. Feel bad for the Celtics fans, feel bad for Jason Tatum. I feel bad for beatim. I don't you feel better for Celtics fans? Beat it Celtics fans, yeah, because I mean, look, I understand that they're a hateable franchise and defending champions all that stuff, But you don't want to see star players down. So I feel bad Danny G. I could promise you feels bad for Jason Tatum as a human. Do you think Danny G, a lifelong Lakers fan, feels bad for the Celtics fans.
Jason Tatum's a little different though, because he's a long time Kobe supporter.
Yeah, so, I mean I wish Tatum was a Laker. I feel bad for any fan who watches their superstar go down an injury like that. I thought the wheelchair was a bad move, though I would have waived it off, especially if I'm a Celtic. The Celtics poop their pants and wheelchairs, from what I understand, in a key situation. And again, the Azuldo Cabrera injury, which I was glued to last night was such a somber broadcast, and no one's really speculating before we get into all the fun stuff rich right and the Mavericks. Big night rigged, as everyone is saying, which is ridiculous, But we'll get there. Just one quick question. Ten to five ninth inning, you tag up to get that eleventh run. No one's really questioning that. Was it that important for the dude to extend themselves on a sacrifice fly when they were up ten to five in the ninth Yeah, I'll tell you what I mean, maybe asking because no one's speculating on that. Everyone's just really talking about how unfortunate that injury was. His ankle full onet eighty but still just a fracture. He's on the ten day DL and now le Mayhew's off the DL, So that's how that works out. Ten day. He might as well put him on the one thousand days that but you saw that at well as of now that's what you're saying. But I'll tell you why they did the tag up. You're right, they're up five runs ninth inning. It's low risk. And if the Eagles are up seventeen with three minutes ago and Sakwon gets hurt because he's in the game, bonehead move. If Mahomes gets sacked and the Chiefs are up or down twenty one points in the fourth quarter, you know, asinine play a tag up from third?
What is it?
One in a million? But there's a better chance of the Mavericks winning the draft water He tried to avoid the catcher. He goes around the bag, his speed and his momentum locks his ankle, distorts his body in a weird way, spins his ankle. His whole leg looked like it was backwards in that moment, and a real painful, somber situation for a really well liked and fun guy to root for Oswald de Cabrera, So wishing him and Tatum the best moving forward. But let's get into the other fun stuff and we'll talk more about that later on. Of course, grew someome injuries and your reaction to them. I want to get to that. But last night, dude, not only a Nix and Timberwolf sort of night, a sort of Maverick with the number one pick in the lottery obviously getting Cooper Flag from Duke and the Spurs got the number two pick. Did you call him goober flag because he's a little goobersh No, I called you a goober. I said Cooper Flag, goober flag. And you know everyone's saying rig today because there was a one percent chance of this happening. You know, Nico Harrison feeling a sense of relief. Maverick fans are like, what the odds of the MAVs and Spurs landing the one and two were one in one thousand, and the MAVs Spurs sixers combo in the top three was one in ten thousand, So odds were way against this happening. It makes you scratch your head and say, what well I want to put in perspective? Guys, I did the I did the math. There was a better chance of Lloyd Christmas getting with Mary Swanson. I don't think he had a one percent chance. So you're saying there's a chance. I think that we all felt the same way. I went to the gym right after the show yesterday. So you're telling me there's a chance one in a billion. You tell the Jim, why don't you break about it? Was that your first time this month? Look at these pecks, bro So I go to the gym and without fail, the minute Danny g texts me and he's like, yo, people are gonna say it's rigged. You watch Danny. They didn't skim a beat. The dude checking in with his little phone scanner at the desk was like, yo, you see that Mavericks first word rigged. It was the hot envelope scandal. And the guy behind the desk is like yo. The NBA is totally rigged, and I watched it firsthand, the chit chat at the gym. Simultaneously Danny G saying social media is blowing up, saying rigged. Well, hold on, how could you not think that when there's a one percent chance of that.
One?
Fine? Thank you, how you're Sam. And then when you think about all the ups and downs the team just went through with trading Luca. I don't know where overnight, all the controversy there surrounding the ownership, all the injuries that went down, this was part of the deal. Everybody chanting fire Nico, and all of a sudden they're number one with a one point eight. It's behind this. This was part of the deal. So I'm not saying that's the case. I'm saying I understand that people are buzzing about it. Wait, the same people that are behind this, are they the same people that write the script for the NFL? Okay, No, that's fair.
Ri.
People are saying that's that's craziness. Is crazy talk to think that sort of thing. But we also like to think that there's no cheating with officiating and things like that. Yet we've seen it and known it to be true. One of my favorite potential scandals of all time, because I think it really is tricky and awesome. Yeah, but how many times do people say that the officiating's rigged and they're like, get out of here, dude. Yeah, Donnie admitted it, and we have the proof. So it's not like it's impossible that these things could happen, and there's a reason why there's a buzz and Rich, there's low probability. I do understand. Rich.
You always point out about judges ex judges and lawyers and people involved in our pre show meeting. We're talking about a law firm maybe presiding over the NBA draft, and I looked it up though it says the NBA handles the legal aspects of the NBA draft through its own internal legal department.
So it's not like where they have the Oscars or the Grammys and they're like well represented by it. They have their own lawyers in house, their own counsel. Well, I'll say this, one of my favorite potential scandal slash conspiracies is the nineteen eighty five Nicks Patrick Ewing draft. Where was the envelope frozen and cold so that whoever stuck their hand in was like I said, it was the hot I yeah, like ooh like and it's the knicks aren't. Really that's a stretch though. You think you could dig your hand in a bunch of envelopes and decipher which one's the cold? I told you, Yeah, if I told you, there's you know, at that time, twenty something envelopes in a in a you know you're gonna be able to pick the one out of twenty seven that feels cold. The cold doesn't transfer onto any envelope. It's just the one, dude. It was in there with your Ottero pops and it was like if one if is like Danny G said Hamlin, Hamlin and mcguil are involved in this, so it has to be legit. Well, all I'm saying is nowadays though, where there's social media and people love to speculate and everyone is a little sleuth, right, Everyone wants to be their own little solving murder, you know podcast. You don't think that someone would be investigating the whole process. What is it is?
It?
Is it like lottery balls? Right? I mean I didn't watch last night? What do we What are we doing these days? Yeah, it's it's like a lottery balls, right, I mean one weighted was one with and then hot balls scandal. One ball was actually it was extra hot for the Mavericks. Oh, there was a warm one for the Spurs in case of the old hot ball. Yeah, the old hot ball scandal. This one doesn't involve rich you know what. To me, those balls are perfect. Yeah, there was. You get somebody to like lean into this. Remember when Lebron did that pretty open interview with Pat McAfee. He talked about the NBA being rigged. T listen, listen, man.
During the ball drop, you know, during the lottery drop, Cleveland got the number one pick.
That's I just don't think that was what's keep Lebron home?
You know what, Patrick going to the Knicks, you know, Darrin Rose to the bull. I understand Simon, guys, you know, so you know, I had to make sure that, you know, I had to do my part.
He's also being a little cheeky there, joking around, insinuating there's some truth to it. But I'm just joking and I want to know how you guys feel about it. Before we took about reactions to injuries and Shack diesel trivia. The other big story of the night, the Mavericks with the number one pick Spurs number two. Do you believe that it could be rigged? Anything's possible, right, But I'm gonna tell you that I choose to believe that the Mavericks just got really lucky. Man. You know, it's it's improbable, not impossible. So we saw the one point eight percent chance happened, which is wild. It's like get that's what I like to It's like getting strict by light. Yeah, it happens bitten by a shark. Kid, you know, it happens to people, and that's why they were pumped about it getting a plane crash. They're all acting and they're all in on it.
If you want some lottery numbers to play later, the winning combination of ping pong balls that earned Dallas the number one pick, ten fourteen eleven and seven. Oh, those are the numbers right now, ten fourteen eleven, seven.
You know, Danny g I want you Sam Dan Bayer Cavino. In fact, I want the Fox Sports Radio Nation to hit us up seven to seven, nine nine on Fox for anyone that genuinely thinks maybe it is rig maybe this is the Denver Airport, or maybe this is we landed on the moon. Maybe not? Is this the who shot JFK? If you believe in you know, all the wild conspiracy on Earth is flat? The Earth is flat, all right, Kyrie, then answer me this for real. I'm not mocking. I'm curious. How do you think they did it? Do you think it was a weighted ball? Do you think the league got in with the owners? Because no owner would agree to this, So you think it was a one on one like Nico Harrison Mavericks meeting, like, hey, listen, we did you solid lucas a light? For that to happen, yeah, you have to have some sort of plan, right, and some sort of schemery and like Danny Jean insinuated anyone that was slim that the law firm is involved in. Anyone that would blow the whistle can't be involved. So this says to be like a secret inside job. So if you think that, you know twenty you know this is a shady Saw Goodman sort of.
You know it is their own lawyers now employed by the NBA in house. Like I said, Saw Goodman, they could, Yeah, they could be in on it. So if you think you would hope they're not.
If you think Shenanigan's play. It was his name, Uh, Jimmy McGill. Yeah, but Jimmy slipping jim slipping Jimmy situation. I think wait is slipping Jimmy involved? Yeah so, I said Hamlin Hamlin McGill, I know, but yeah, slip in Jimmy, because that's extra shady. If you think everyone's involved in that way, is that impossible? No, but I don't think that's happening. You know, for every conspiracy I didn't. I never believe that frozen envelopes this situation. The first thing I always ask myself in a conspiracy is how many people would have to completely shut their mouth be involved being on it without blowing, you know, whistle blowing? Right. I believe that I believe more in the Colombian alien sphere that they found this week, more than I believe that this was rigged. Damn buy you're a reasonable mc guy, are you? Are you just minding your own now because you feel like it's all hogwashed? Or do you think there's some possibility that there's you know, injustice, it's rigged, it's a tomfoolery.
I do feel that there is an undercurrent of possible tomfoolery or rigging, if you will. I am not happy that the Mavericks were the ones who were to benefit from it, and that would be the team that you could most likely connect to the rigging, not because of them being the Mavericks, but because they gave Luca to the Lakers. That's if Luca was traded to the Orlando Magic. I don't think that there's a hey, here's a solid, here's a tip of the cap, but hey, thanks so much for putting one of our premier superstars to take the torch from Lebron and our golden franchise and be able to carry that.
On so I could I could see it.
I put it at fifty percent earlier, which it was a bit of a stretch, but maybe around twenty twenty five percent.
Big words, I you know, Dan Byer. It's it's interesting because that sense of while the Luca, you know, to the Lakers thing, the Mavericks need to be rewarded for this, well you hate to think that's true, but of course as possible at the beginning, middle, end, end of the day. It's a business. So if it's good for the league, it's good for everybody, and it could be just a business move, and they're just well, don't you know if people trying to make us believe that this is the truth? You know how it's all you know what people love to say, and I don't know if this is true. I'm just repeating something I've seen on social media, which is the problem with most conversations nowaday, So my apologize. Every time people talk about well the NFL, I oh, you have the script and it's rigged. People love to plot the fact that the NFL is registered as an entertainment league or something to the nature that, like they're off the hook if something ever came out like that. Have you seen people say stuff like that. I don't know about the legality of it's registered as an entertainment league. But even in the fight game, anytime you see something go down like this, the first thing they always say is, look, this is still entertainment. It really is. They're trying to get people to watch, They're trying to get people to tune in. It's all about ratings and money. How many times if it's fighter the league, it's possible. How many times can you know, has the fighter that they needed to win to set up another big fight lost in a close fight, but they won on the car because in a month or so people will forget because well, fighting's rigged, right. We know that there's definitely rigging going on, shadiness in the fight game, but it's also a business and you also want to be able to sell a fight. And if you can't sell a fight because there's no personality behind it, then you're failing in that entertainment factor of the sport, right, which is part of it. This is just good for the league. It's just a lot of drama for the league, which could sell the league, which could be more money, more ratings. Like Dan Byer insinuated a little backscratch for the Mavericks, and we saw a lot of that good deal last night.
We saw a lot of that as far as the Lakers go, like it says, Chris Paul was traded from New Orleans to LA and then New Orleans gets the number one pick. Ad was traded from New Orleans to LA. New Orleans gets the number one pick. Right Luca traded to from Dallas to LA. Of course, Dallas gets the number one pick. Lebron left Cleveland for Miami. Cleveland gets three of the four next four number one picks, including the one when Lebron came home for the trade for Kevin Love.
Yeah, it just looks bad. It kind of feels like it looks really bad when you list all that out, Danny g But it kind of feels like how the WWE gave up the rules of it being real at one point, right, because they always stayed in the character and then all of a sudden they stopped the NBA and fighting and sports. They still put up that illusion that rulese that it's legit when maybe it's all planned out or maybe it is legitim but they still legit. I don't know that it's it's not impossible. I do believe that it's improbable. I do believe that they just got lucky. But it's not impossible, dude, From from a business standpoint, From a standpoint, yeah, when there's that much money involved and if it's good for the league and favors are being done well. Yesterday we went over businessmen trying to pull one over on anybody and they think the viewing audience is dumb. We went over the possible landing spots for a Cooper flag yesterday with Dan Bayer and of the top three highest odds. We said, maybe Utah gus I got good coaching and they're revamping that that that basketball program, and maybe the Utah Jazz was a good landing spot. But the other options seems sort of like like the way you go to die. You know, no offense like Charlotte Hornets Washington. Yeah, no fens. So you know, you take a guy like Cooper Flag and you put him on a team with Kyrie and a d both healthy, you do not. You don't have a team that like might compete. You have a team that kuvera will be a top five team in the West. Oh, they're back in it. Yeah, for sure, they're in the mix again. Down you know, he went from possibly playing for a twenty win team to a contending team. Yeah, that would be the difference there. That would be the assumption anyway for Cooper Flag. Hop balls. It's the hot ball theory. You heard it here first, the hot ball scandal with the Mavericks, not the not the frozen envelope, the hot balls, the hot ball. Personally, I think it's magnets. How did it work? How dose magnets?
No?
I don't care. Okay, but what if it's magnets well, and how do they work? Well? Think think about you know, when you're when those balls are popping around like your yo Lando Vega with the you know the lottery numbers, they're all ping pong balls, right, I mean what you're right, what if there's magnets?
Sam The Knicks theory in nineteen eighty five, for Patrick Ewing was the as you guys are saying, frozen envelope, bent corner. Yeah, but you visually could see the tumbler. You could visually see the envelope.
Right.
What makes this so secretive is no one sees it. All we see is them unveiling the cards from the predetermined lotto drawing coming out of the hopper. That was one person saw, maybe two people saw. Like that adds actually more to the theory of what is going on behind closed doors as opposed to maybe sleight of hand that happened right in front of you forty years ago.
You know, Richie, you're just not in the room where it happens. Stevie, that's such an amazing point because you know, I'll be honest, I gotta be honest with you guys. Perhaps because I was at the gym and I didn't see it. Every time I've seen the draft lottery, you know winners. You're right, it's they. They're all sitting there and they hold up the logo of the team. I thought, maybe someone did see this. And if you're confirming that no one really sees the balls being picked, then and.
There's someone from a law firm, maybe two people in the room. A couple people are the ones that conduct it because they don't want any leaks, they don't want any drama.
But envelope some money. Yeah, what's this, hey, Charlotte Hornets, you like being in the league, right, Yeah, that does seem like Look it's fair. Were doing a speculating Guys, nobody really knows. As I mentioned, we're not in the room where it happened. But when there's that much money to be made and that much money to be had and spent and bought, anybody could be bought to shut up and let it happen because it's good for the league. They used to show the actual drawing of the ping pong ball. It was like, yeah, like a lot, like an actual lot exactly. Let me bring up one more point, and this is by no means to be insensitive, but you know, we were living in New York during nine to eleven, and you know there are people that have all crazy conspiracies about terrible days like that, and I will say, you saw planes at towers, awful, you saw things happen. The fact that they never released footage of a plane hitting the Pentagon is why people are like, what really hit the Pentagon? You could put that to rest if there were video of that. Not to compare one of the worst days in US history to an NBA lottery, but when you don't have the visual proof of something, it leaves your mind open to wander. But plus, you never saw the plane parts really it was. Yeah, so it's like you never saw real evidence and people just want the evidence. That's it. But if you if you leave it in this day and age, though, people will get the evidence and the Internet will just be like, well, no, we can explain this way. We can's that a way, you know what. That's what Danny g was insinuating. We were having our little pre show meeting in the lobby when Shaq Diesel was walking in. We said, Hey, it's up shack. He's like, what are you guys talking about? You were saying how you can have the proof right there in your face, and you're still gonna believe what you want. Everything points into the direction of man that is fixed, and even me, I don't want to believe it really, Like, come on, I want to feel like I want to feel like, even though we're all the evidence is there for you to believe that, there's no way, dude. I want to feel like, even though we're the lightest, most fun show on sports radio, I'd like to think that, you know, we don't take anything too serious. We're having a lot of fun. I still think we're above saying conspiras, but I still there's part of me it's like, you know, me and me, it is kind of wild. Ah, And I think social media has sort of conditioned our minds to amplify it. A lot of crazy thoughts. Yeah, yeah, to it'd be like ads, get out of here. I'm not believing that. Because you see so much hogwash and bs on social media, your automatic default now is like, nah, that can't be true. I'll believe it when I see it, and we're seeing this right before our eyes, but our default is nah, they wouldn't do that. Come on, I mean, they think we're that stupid. Then again, did we really see it or did we just see names being called? And again, let me read that once that I thought it was really interesting. I screenshot it. That's my method here. The odds of the MAVs and Spurs landing one and two were one in one thousand MAVs Spurs sixers combo top three, one in ten thousand chants. Not good odds. Not good odds, so one point eight percent. It happened yesterday. I congrats to the MAVs. You said something off the I just at the point, how it's so true? I was Sam telling us that his confirmation name is Javier. Last week might be one of my favorite moments of our show. It might. It sounds like like like Jerry finding out that Kramer's middle name was Javier or his real name, and he's like, what, Cosmos. It just sounds like something you see on a sitcom. It really impacted you that much. Really, the whitest guy we know, cotton headed Ninny Muggins, and your confirmation name was Javier from what really is? Honestly, you are like any sitcom neighbor. I was Sam, everybody, thank you, thank you all right, now to your phone calls. We'll wrap up the draft lottery and like you said, lots of great stuff. We'll get to Pete Rose and news out of baseball shack, diesel trivia. Let's go to Big Burt in Georgia. Big Burt, you're all at CNR.
Hey, god, hey, I just want to make sure it's Big.
Burt, not big but what's up like big Butt? No, Big Burt? Hey.
You know, the whole conspiracy theory is not always rainbows and sunshine. Speaking as a New York nickname, we got Patrick Ewan in the shadiest form, but did we ever get a championship? No, Well, we really don't need to look at these Vegas connections with Dallas and the bookies and see what Nico bet it on.
You know, our buddy Wes speaking of Vegas, our buddy Wes in Vegas, one of our good pals. Listener of the show. He did point out something interesting. He goes, so quote conspiracy theories. Over the years, things that we thought were conspiracies end up being not so conspiracy conspiracy. After he said some of the some of the things people thought were facts about COVID nine to eleven. There are things throughout life where as more and more comes out like maybe it's not totally untrue, but parts of it are our cover ups. The tuck rule is still one rigged rule. But if you've been told your entire life, he said, that's something or sounds looks too good to be true.
Probably is bs to smoke. There's fire rich what we're we looking at on Reddit. During the commercial break.
Danny G showed me the feed of when they actually little ping pong balls are popping up, and there was some lawyers and media on standby, but again where their pockets lined. Yeah, but I never know. They don't really publicize that broadcast, which is odd when you think about how everything's a spectacle nowadays, everything's a big event. What I read sctual the actual lottery of this. And by the way, there's an update. It's the old sticky balls conspiracy. It's not hot balls, sticky balls. They had time constraints. Covin knows.
What I read is why they've switched it up a little bit, because, yeah, they used to show the long process and people fell asleep.
People's gender reveals and birth announcements are more elaborate than this, And we're talking the NBA and again. The winning numbers were ten, fourteen, eleven, and seven. The maps getting the number one pick.
The sticky balls with the sticky balls dB. There was also only seven teams in the lottery at one point. Now there's fourteen, So like you didn't have as many teams in the league at that time, seven or eight teams.
Another great really fall asleep. Now it's the opposite of the remember in the home alone two the sticky bandits like you just stick your hand in, the sticky balls will stick to you. Here we go, pops up, all right, Well, the MAVs and the Spurs, and we're gonna wrap it up with this phone call. Yeah, that's Charles in Florida. Hey, Charles, Hey, buddy, let's good.
I'm calling you from Cape Call, Florida.
How you guys doing today?
Good man? What's up?
All right?
So it's all rigged, brother, it's all rigged. I mean I have friends that score. They were gonna stop watching the NFL when they went to Vegas.
Okay, so so what you are you are one of these guys. To hear his explanation, I was gonna say, Charles, you're one of these guys that truly believes sports are rigged? Did he drop? Charles? Oh my god, the NBA dropping. They got to him, They got to him. Oh no, Charles, he got quick reminder on Friday, you can wake up with us because we're filling in for the DP show Turn steal the cover Covino and rich In for Dan Patrick this Friday morning. So join us, will you? Thanks? It'll be the greatest wake up show since Wake Up San Francisco. Yeah, well, I've always said that. Now gotta talk. You're talking football, rich Can we talk Jayden Daniels for a little bit at least set this up for now? Get people thinking, Yeah, I got Can I give you a DraftKings. I'm not gonna give you the code, Dane, but don't tell me yes if you don't. Yes. But I have a bet I want to make tonight and I love this, No I do. I'm allowed to tell you a great bet when there's one, right, that's cool? Can you pick two players? I'm gonna pick three. You want to hear the Pete Crow Armstrong PCA on the Cubbies home run scoob Ball over six and a half strikeouts and Lindor over one point five bases. So two singles or double. You know he eats two bases ten bucks when it's two forty. Wow, I just like it. For some reason, I feel like singing to you, Scoop Ball PCA and Francisco Lindor. So I'm just locking in there letting you know. I've been loving the Pick six, Danny. I've been loving the Draftkinks Pick six for real. Like we were doing the commercials for so long, and I started playing myself and now every day it's like a fun little five to ten dollars a way to stay interesting. It's nice when the sponsors are involved in our own lives, exactly when the sponsor is like, oh, I actually use this, I love it. We actually wear the gear from Travis Clothes pick six. I'm wearing Travis Matthew while I'm using Draftkinks. All right, So please tell me my friend about jade and Daniel's mom. Well, it's his mamager, it's his mom manager, and her name is Regina Jackson, and I want you to take a listen to what she says before we even discuss it. So take a listen to Jadeen Daniel's mother.
He's a kid.
I don't know why we stop pairing kids at a certain age, but that's for a later show. The thing is is he doesn't know what he doesn't now. And he knows football because that's what he's been doing, and he does it very well, and he's been, you know, very acclimated in sports since.
He was young.
But he doesn't know the business world.
He doesn't know the predators or the vultures that could be out there. And so he feels very comfortable and knowing that not only am I educated and qualified to do it, I'm also his mom.
To me, it makes sense and it really poses a bigger question. He may be a guy that knows more about football than any of us, a student of the game, a star student, you know, a guy that took the league by storm, but does he know about life? Which poses the question, Kavino, when do you really become a man? A man? Absolutely? Like, when are you a man? Look like a man? To you? I say absolutely no. When does a guy become a man? Because I feel like, even in this room, we're going to have a ton of different answers. When does someone become a man? When you see some of these young kids drafted, are they men yet?
Man?
Very very loving, Yet you could argue overly involved mom. I mean Beyonce, Jessica Simpson, Britney Spears. We've seen pop stars and and other people have their parents as their manager, and I wish the opposite for Jaden Daniels. But usually those things eventually where on the relationship that that doesn't usually low sounds a little LeVar Ball to me, like a little too involved. I mean she's a lovely woman. I just feel like, you know, I love my kids, and I can see where her mindset's at. My kid is a generational talent. I take cam kids. It's you know, it's I wants to look out for your kid, wants to do everything right right. Yeah, the the intentions here are beautiful. I'm pure yeah.
Yeah, but rich walking around like Emmy's bodyguard. Yeah when she's twenty four, Yeah, that would be strange, would be a bit much.
About was, you know, hanging around my daughter. You're right as like her agent and bodyguard when she was older. Everybody there looking out for their kid. You gotta commend that. It's a beautiful thing. That's great and all. My only criticism is this referring to him as a kid when he's a twenty four year old man and a very alpha driven game and world. You think he's a kid still at twenty four? Man, I mean a grand scheme of things, But do you want your mom calling you out like that in front of everybody? And then again we post a question one more time, So when are you a man? I heard a really morbid thing one time, and I think it was a listener of our show that called in one time rich and they said something about they became a man when their parents died because he always felt like he was their kid. And that's a morbid thought, a coming of age so to reality. Yeah, it's very sad, right. You feel like more of an orphan, I think than anything, A little orphan. Spotty little funk House, Yeah, little arp and funk House was one of my favorite your enthusiasm quotes of all time. Funk Houser, the late great uh Dave no super Yeah he funk Houser's name was God, how are you all blinking?
Well?
On curve your enthusiasm. You're the one that brought it up, so you're the one that should be embarrassed. Stop. He's trying to convince Larry that he's an orphan, and Larry's like, you're you're an old guy. You're an orphan, okay, little orphan funk cout funks. So again, not to sound more of it or weird, but I remember when a caller said that to us. I was like, yeah, I guess that's pretty wild, because you are someone's child, no matter how old you are, and then when they're gone, you're like, well, I guess I'm out here in this mean we're all all alone. I guess I'm my own man. I think this is more of when you're standing on your own two feet for the first time. Man, you're a professional dude. Yeah, you're you're a young person in the grand scheme of life, but you're you're on your own out there. I don't want my mom call me like her little baby boise when I'm trying to do a professional radio show.
What do you guys equate to manhood? Like, I think about responsibility? Yes, you know, so the first time rich, Yeah, the first time you pay a utility bill. To me, that's when you become an adult.
You may be mentally an idiot, but if you if you've got responsibilities and you're a responsible person with things to pay for Yeah, you're your own man. I had written down that if you're still on your parents' cell phone plan or car insurance plan, it's hard to call yourself like I'm a man, you man. Your mom pays your state form, Yeah, dad plays Geico in a your mom's Verizon bill if they're still on the plan rich but they zell their parents every month. No, that's get your own your man. I do that for my mom. My mom's on my plan because I try to be a good son. That's what you know. So I don't think. I think if your parents are paying your bills, I'm not quite sure you have man status yet, right, But I still got one foot in the I do want to remind everyone one thing, these kids that we are a little tough on of times that listen, it's very easy to want to pick on Shador Sanders and some of these young cats out of the draft. They are kids, and I feel that way when you're twenty twenty one, twenty two, if you're forty something, they're half your age. Think of all the living you did in your twenties and thirties to get to fortiesh Right, that's a hell of a lot of living and learning. Yeah, but twenty one and twenty four are a little different. Jaden Daniels has been in the NFL. These kids coming out of the draft, they're just getting out of school. Yeah, oh yeah, they're no way are they? Amen? Those are kids, Calvin know.
I know this doesn't apply to everyone because, as we have said, your mom spoiled you for a long time, still does. Probably she does, But that wasn't the case. We've talked about this on our show. Before that, our generation, it was more of everything revolving around the parents, pretty much like kids are to be seen and not heard, and that changed with our generation. So we should give ourselves props because we have been good. I think better with children, right, And so kids now are they don't want freedom the way we did. We couldn't wait. Most of us couldn't wait to get our own freedom and get out of the house. Kids nowadays, most of them that that I've seen and in my own house, they are holding on longer.
Yeah, they don't listen to give their driver's license. They you know, it's so funny you would say that I was itching to get my license in New York. Mind lickety split. That's in New York at seventeen. I know, at sixteen, in a lot of places, I was itching, Like the day of my birthday, I was, you know, like driver's test, that's when I got my license. Kids now were like like, i'll take an uber a mom or dad will drive me. I'll walk there. Well, it's so many factors, right, these kids are broke, they can't afford a car. Uber is available, it's a thing. Yeah, so there's a lot of factors. But I agree with you, Rich and Danny. You're paying your own bills. Are capable of paying your own bills. Yeah, you're your own man. You may be immature, there's there's most men are you know. There's two types of parents though, And I think I'm safe in saying this, the type that are like, you're welcome here as long as you want, and then the other parents that are like, you're eighteen, pay rent or get out of there. And you know, I'll be honest. I Loup moved out right after college, but my parents, I could have stayed there and they would have been like, yeah, sure, I have friends that are like, you're out of college, you're paying rent, and other parents like we're you could stay here. Right, Yeah, you know what, another nail on the head, because I agree there's two types out there. Luckily I had the ladder who allowed me to stay there for way too long and save money to purchase my own home one day. You know, So if you have or how about this, you have the ability to pay for your own home and you're employing your mom, I don't know if you're a kid. Now, guess what, you know why your mom has a career. And that's not to come down on Regina Jackson. She's doing a great job because she could throw a tight spiral. Yeah, we're just speculating on well, when are you really a man? Based on what she said? Okay, so you know we're dissecting her words and that's not fair. But if he's employing his mother, I'd say he is not only a man, he's the man. Hey, Danny, you're a great dad and a great step dad. You were you were talking about how your step son's you're almost shocked that what are they nineteen and twenty or twenty and twenty one? Yeh, twenty and twenty two, twenty and twenty two, and you were saying how you're surprised they don't want to, like maybe split their own apartment so they can bring girls back and do things they're cool, like just living at your place. Yeah.
What the middle son who's twenty, he is an Oklahoma Sooner. He just drove home the law. He made the long what was it two and a half day drive whatever to get home, and he's gonna plump down and be at our place all summer. Now he's gonna work part time.
Does heat? Does he still eat gushers.
Of man?
You guys he was watching NBA playoffs eating sunflower seeds on the couch.
See, I don't know. They don't. They said they're great guy, right, but are they men if they're still living that life?
And the thing is our twenty two year old he's about to graduate from Kowlu this Friday.
Okay, Congo, Yeah, that's awesome, it's awesome. But again, right now he's at the dorms there, he's bringing girls back, he's living the life. They're both gonna hunker down at our place over the summer though, because obviously at graduation Friday. Yeah, Danny Krab But my wife raising them always told them, as long as you're in school, you can stay here rent free. That's a that's a pretty cool rule though, Yeah, that's a I think it's just a parent looking at for the kid. Now his sons are going to take one semester, one class of semester, like just just to be like what I'm a student mom. Danny gears like, yeah, that was cool until HI became their stepdad. Can I think boom like especially boomer parents maybe jen X parents were like, my parents are our baby boomers, and it was a lot easier to buy a house back in the day. You know how they joke about how like houses now worth like half a million to a million dollars. Then boomers got their house like in the nineteen seventies for like seven teen hundred dollars in a bag of rice. Yeah, so it's like to stay at our home, which we paid the mortgage off twenty five years ago. We've had this conversation many times in the past. I was saying, but our parents' generation, like of a young kid now had my dad's job and my mom worked on and my mom would take off for a little while when the kids were born and then go back to work. Like if my family replicated what they did now, no way on planet Earth. Would they have had a house on Long Island. It's a different time, so age doesn't have a lot to do with this. It really doesn't when you think about it. My dad at twenty one had his own home and kids right when he had me twenty one years old. So was he a man then?
Yeah?
He had his own home, he had a family. He had his own family. Jade and Daniels, does he have kids?
Is he?
He doesn't?
Right?
No, I have a question for you and hitting. His mom won't let him have a real girlfriend, even let him sit next to juju Wi. His mom took the door off his room.
Yeah.
I just want to make sure. Does he have a sign over his bedroom missus Jayden's room because it's read on the football ye, Jaden?
I need to know.
So hold on at twenty four a professional with endless means and connections and such a bright future. I'd say Jayden and Daniels is a man. He's a man, Danny. I have one question about your your sons twenty and twenty two, both you know, bright futures, college kids one graduating. When they are home, are they like mom, what's for dinner? Do they expect you? Guys? To supply food. Oh, for sure they do.
And it's funny because the twenty year old yesterday he asked his mom, He said, would you eat for dinner? Did you make something for dinner? Like they don't say what's for dinner? They just hint around, like, okay, you could feed me now. And look, that's fine if you're at the house and you're at least making an effort to pitch in around the house. And and they're good kids, so like you have good kids, you're not going to say, yeah, you got to get out of here once you turn a certain age.
But you're right rich.
When I was eighteen, my mom said, you're not my responsibility anymore.
You're now an adult. It's just not like that anymore. Did you feel like a man though, Because when I finally got my first home and like officially moved out after college, I went back to my parents twenty seven, I didn't feel like a man. I feel like a man boy who had my own bachelor parents. You were spoiled. I don't know when I became a dad. In my personal reality, when I became a dad, I was faced with real life adult situations. I will give you to say when I became I didn't become a man. Tell I was thirty something years old. I'll give Covino credit. I'm like, I'm like Pinocchio Cavino, I'm a little wooden boy. Cavino deserves some credit because while he did live at his parents until because li isn't housing in New York and New Jersey expensive, While he did live at his parents' house after college for quite a while, he told he lived in the basement. He told girls that he rents to old people upstairs, women, rich women. I thought that was always your can we know, bring some howkerl home from the club and be like, yeah, don't mind this, I rented this old couple upstairs. Well, so why don't they live in the basement you have upstairs? Well, don't ask you. Wait, why are you in the pictures with these people? They're clinging weird ten.
That would be my motivation if I was their age, because I think back to when I had my first apartment. I was eighteen at my first radio station job, and I wanted my privacy. And I think that's a big difference nowadays is these kids are used to sharing space with a lot of other kids, and they don't really care all that much about you know, the freedom that I explained we wanted so bad.
Was it true you when you grew your first chin strap, that's when you felt like I'm man. Well, for me, that was fifth grade. So Danny's like, no, it was upon my third Raiders tattoo. Yeah, it poses the question, guys. And again, I'm sorry that Regina Jackson took any heat. That wasn't the point, but it was what she said about her son, and I get it. Her son will always be her baby and a kid in her eyes. But he's really twenty four years old, young in life, but he's a man. Well, hey, hold on one thing, one more point here. Imagine being born in year nineteen hundred and you're like going to the Great War as as a seventeen or eighteen year old, you're a man. Then I looked like weathered in old back then at that age. You know, it's just they aged a lot faster. Aaron Judges hit a rocket of a home run. Yeah, buddy, like exit velocity might have been two hundred miles an hour. Sorry interrupt, Like he like that ball came up the bat, they turned to left field and it already hit the wall like the high wall. Man. You're talking great war here, but oh, to wrap up what you said speaking of bombs, back to the same good. Yeah. I think about that greatest generation your grandparents in mind, fought in a war, came home, had kids, got a job that they kept for like fifty years, and then retired. They lived such a different life than our parents, us and our future children and everything. Like they were they were in Germany shooting people, came home and then got a job as a mechanic for fifty years and had a beautiful life.
Can you imagine an eighteen year old nowadays storming the beaches of Normandy.
No, not without taking selfies Normandy while they're playing Pokemon. Go yeah Normandy, say yo yo, look bro Normandy, are you ready? Well there is Spotty's ready.
Let's meet Major, Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the week when mid Week Major Major, Oh, I love that we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas, and it's like the kids.
Say, that's som we definitely see in our score.
Mid Week Major, I gotta go really fast because we got a ton to do in the show. Still all right, before I hand things over to the number one and only host of this segment, we like to roll the two big red love dice over there in the main.
Student the four nice so wow, Rich goes first. Oh Rich actually one, that means he gets first take.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Points New Jersey spotty Boy Big rest.
In peace to one of the most infamous, which we know is more than the famous alligators out there, and that's Marris the Alligator, the Happy Gilmore star known for biting off chumbs Peterson's hand. And didn't he Happy Gilmore actually wrestle him too?
Didn't he like to tackle? I believe he did? Yeah passed away. This week.
Sandler himself posted on his Instagram account paying tribute to the legendary reptile.
He said, We're all gonna miss you.
You could be hard on director's makeup, artist, costumers, really anyone with arms or legs, but I know you did it for the ultimate good of the film.
He also went on to say, I know.
You're not I know your character's decapitation in the first movie, provided you participate or precluded your participation in the sequel, but we all appreciated the fruit basket in hilarious note, so maybe they'll pay tribute to him in Happy Gilmour Too, which is coming out to hy.
See you later. Alligator there it is, thanks Isaac in a while, crocodile. I think this is major news. Little bit, I mean, alligator bit my hand. Oh my god, Well they didn't let you plan on the tour as you're black, No, because alligator bit my hand off. Alligator bit my hand up, Alligator bit my hand. Oh my god. What do you call an alligator wearing a vest? Though? What Steve an investigator? Stop it listen. I think it was a great movie. We're excited about the sequel. June twenty fifth on Netflix and oh July twenty fifth, July twenty fifth off to wait even longer. But a really cool scene. The late great Carl Weather's got his hand bit off by this damn thing. So mid major major, I'll tell you what. The only thing weaker than my joke is this story. Oh go to an alligator from a movie. You know, alligators have been around since the dinosaur days ninety one? Is that even old for an alligator? Was he I thought he's eighty. How old is sorry? He was an elderly gator, like a long time the gator, Right alligator? There's nothing cute about an alligator. Beat it. Who cares? Damn alligator? Rest in peace? All right.
Chiefs are getting what's labeled the full last Dance treatment from ESPN. SO during this week's Disney Upfronts you Know Where, they announced the programming coming out for all the networks. ESPN announced will be releasing a new series called The Kingdom, which is a multi part docu series chronicling in the twenty twenty four Kansas City chief season as they try to achieve they're never before seen three pete so. Patrick Mahomes appeared at the announcement talking about how the six episode series will have an unfiltered access into their lives on and off the field, showcase the true heart of the city, the team, and what it takes to be a member of the Chiefs. No specific people have been listed on the press release as far as who will be involved, but I'm sure it will involve else and obviously Mahomes jack with all these people. So it will be available on ESPN and Disney Plus later this year. Midbe Cer Matrix mid Come on, I'll tell you what's min.
I'll tell you what's min because they didn't achieve the three piete, so you're gonna be watching this. It's like, you know when I watch Receiver on Netflix, which was great. When when I watched Receiver and they followed around my dudes, George Kittle and Debo at the time, and you watch their journey and they fall short, It's just sort of like it's like a movie with a not happy ending. So I think it's at of whack the kingdom and needs some majestic sort of Game of Thrones theme. I'm tuning in. Bro. She's starring, Yeah, starring Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey and all the pressure they have to redeem themselves from that crappy game they left off on. But that's the culmination. Yeah, but I think this is great. I love it. I can't wait. I can't wait to watch anything Chiefs related. Pat Holmes is superstar. Do you watch without me? Yeah? I'll be watching all right.
A minor league stadium employee going viral for his bare handed catch and no it's not of a baseball during Sunday Night's game of the Cannapolis Cannonballers and the Carolina Mudcats. In the bottom of the third, the cannonballer's mascot, which is a dog, ran on the field and popped the squat to relieve himself near home plate, while a stadium employee who was charged with the cleanup, ran out to grab the you know whatever the pile and rather than grabbing like a pooper Scooper scooping up in something, he bare handed it. And there's video video at viral of this. The Internet went crazies grossed out by what they saw. Uh someone said, yeah, he bare handed that grounder. Like they need to fire the guy immediately.
So hopefully they use this as a way to just get a pooper Scooper. Why do they have major I mean, just the worst story. It does. It does remind me of that Paul Giamatti scene in Billions where he was all arrogant and he made the person picking up with their hand after their dog.
I love that.
Listen, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. You ever, you ever take your dog for a walk and you have to find a huge leaf because you're like, oh my god, I forgot something happens this is a mid story. I'll take it so much. Should call Mike ro because this sounds like a dirty job there. It is like that one. God, I'm watching the video right now, right well, hold on, it's mad because all right, the dog went to the bathroom. What gona do?
What?
What makes it? What makes it mid? And a fun story? Is the guy bare handed?
Bare handed?
That's it. He's raised by Uh. He had a scooping device with his left hand, but he cupped it into the street. So for that I give it mid. Like, wow, that's wild. I'll take it, thanks, all right.
Tom Brady shared the details of a special gift he once received from fellow goat Michael Jordan. He appeared this week check it Out on the debut episode of a new show called Card Shopping, where he like goes shops around for like cards.
Baseball cards, basketball cards, all that kind of stuff.
Well, when he spotted an m J card, he shared a story about how Jordan once sent him one hundred and twenty pairs of air Jordan's from Jordan himself. He said he always wanted to collect sneakers but always had these various deals. Once he didn't have one, reached out to a friend who golfs with Jordan. Jordan's found out they're the same size. They're both the size thirteen. So Jordan's like two days later sent him a bunch of his own Jordan's so one twenty pairs of Jordan's.
Brady was like, I don't know what to do with all these.
Thanked Jordan or Yeah, Brady thanked Jordan, of course, but he said it was just a cool moment to actually receive Jordan's directly from.
Michael Jordan midweaker major. Now all you take this only thing, it is major, But I do have a question. Are these worn shoes? You know? I couldn't figure out that detail, but I think they were. I mean, I imagine that it would add extra value, but I don't want someone's old use shoes especial.
Maybe it was like a combination because the fact that they wear the same size that made me think that it was actually pairs of it.
Yeah, I was thinking it was a combination. Yeah, yeah, but I guess he doesn't really wear that. He probably has so many. I think this is awesome. I mean, two goats bonding over sneakers and he has Jordan's little a part of his private collection. I think he's a mid story, but leaning towards major. I think he's major because you know, you're talking about two legends, and I think Michael Jordan doesn't bump into too many people that have more accolades in the championship world than him, right, I mean, I think it's laughable though, that Tom Brady's like, I don't know where to put them all. I don't know, pick a room, buddy. Yeah, it's not like he has a one bedroom apartment. Where do I put him? I'll put him on my yacht and my stoage unit. Thank you, Spotty.

Horton Sounds here at Target Center of The Wolves have captured the game five one twenty one to one ten after closing out the Lakers in five games.
The Wolves do the exact.
Same to the Golden State Warriors, and for the second straight season, Minnesota is headed to the Western Conference Finals.
It seems inevitable the Warriors just going to overcome Steph's injury. Minnesota advances to the Western Conference Finals courtesy of Kfan one hundred point three t Wolves Radio Network, and that is our TIRERAQT play of the day. We got to get in some old school acts. But let's wrap up this Bill Belichick conversation and these phone calls eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's make it snappy. We got Doug and Maryland. Do you think there's a chance of Bill Belichick stepping down because he is going against his own principles, which is no distractions. He's the biggest distraction.
No, I don't think he's gonna step down, and I don't think he should. Guys. I'm not a Patriots fan, I'm not a North Carolina fan, but I'm going to tell you what I think everybody's taking this a little too far, and trust me. And the very first thing he's going to tell is players is don't allow this. You know, I don't want you guys to be watching all of the media coverage on this. Don't allow to be He'll let his players know North Carolina not to allow it to be a distraction.
And I don't think it's sounds fair to the players. I don't they're getting attention they never got in this program ever. That's true. And you know what, I'll say this, Doug, and thanks for the call, man, Sorry to rush you call anytime. We appreciate it. What takes this all away, throws it all out the window, all these Jeorg Dawn rumors and all this she's involved, she's not involved. Is winning, right? But if he doesn't win, it all comes back to that, So more pressure on winning. I don't know, man, I don't think there's an expectation to win right away. I mean that that program hasn't done anything any time. They don't, you know, till it comes back to what Julian Edelman said right there, he's going against his number one principle, which is no distractions. He's the biggest distraction. So speaking about it, would you be shocked if it was a one and done. No, that might be the most logical. A one and done not at all. But you know what we got to do now, it's time for when Old School hits fifty, let's go. There's a certain what we gonna do is go back.
Back into town, throwing it back for a Thursday. Old School went fifty hits. That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Yeah, so we throw it back every Thursday. We get you in ball Bland eight seven, seven ninety nine. On Fox, we lost a big superstar this week, maybe one of the most famous animal actors of all time, Marris the alligator. Who's that alligator bit my hand? Oh my god, the alligator? That the bitch Chubbs Peterson's handoff. People thought he was left off the PGA tour because he was a black man. No, damn alligator bit his hand off. Damn alligator, damn alligat allegat. They were all there in heaven right at the end of the movie. But now he's that who's in that scene? See if you remember in the clouds Chubbs Peterson. Yeah, it was the crocodile, the alligator, the alligator, and it was Obi wan Kenoby a former president. Oh Heylincoln. It was hey Blincoln? Right? Why is he Blincoln up there? Right? I know it's something weird like that. It wasn't Obi Wan Kenoby. Chubb's got his hand back, by the way. Based on on that, look, Havy, what other animal legends do you think of when it comes to film and TV animal superstars? I know Rich's number one answer. He doesn't even know his number one answer. I know Rich's number one answer without even really Yeah, I feel like our parents, generations all going to say, like mister Ed, everyone of parents love mister Board, parents loved Flipper, Our parents love Flipper, Mister Ed, you know what, and Lassie has the trifecta for your mom. Yeah, so we'll come up with our own list next right here, Cavino and Rich, Shank, Tye, damn Alligator. We're not allowed to name these four because it's our parents. It's the boomer mount Rushmoreshmore is straight up mister Ed and Flipper. You mentioned Lassie and what was the other one? And then I said Flipper, Oh ye ye, yeah, I had it on. Honorable mentioned, Benji. Benji's honorable mentioned. That is definitely your mom and dad's like you if you had this conversation where your mom, dad, ants and uncles and be like Flipper and mister Ed, don't forget mister rad. Yeah, of course, of course someone to sing the song. Every old person would have said those four plus Benji. So we ask you who who stands the test of the time in your mind? As far as animals in movies and entertainment. A La Mars the Alligator, who I didn't know was a real thing or that anyone cared about until he died. But speaking of well, Adam Sandler like put out a sentimental post like it was his pet. Oh, we got that Happy kill More two coming out, and he.
Won't be there.
Rich.
We talked about famous animals a couple of years ago on the show. I still remember yours. Let's see if you're let's say it was that Kicking Donkey or yeah.
It was Gus. It was a Disney movie. If you were a kid of the eighties and nineties before hbo overtook Sunday Nights, they'd have like the Disney movie of the Week. It was like Flight of the Navigator. There was a rotat should have movies, Yeah, and one of them was Gus. It was a field goal, kicking mule and don Knotts mister Furley was in the movie. By the way, that's a great answer, and Danny g props to you for remembering that. Danny, what a good listening, Yes answer. I'm gonna tell Brenda you must be a great listener. But I know for fact after speaking to this dude, for a long time. His mom was a huge fan of air Bud. That's my mom's answer, not mom. Yeah, but you've never seen have talked about that more than anyone else I've known. Rich talks about Airbud at least once a week still Airbud. He throws out more Airbud references than anyone ever met. So I imagine that has to be one of your answers. I'm gonna throw out one that no one's gonna bring up, but to me, it's amazing. Like this crocodile this alligator, I should say, there's a difference. This alligator lived eighty plus years, which honestly, I don't think is that long for an alligator. They survived dinosaur times. They're prehistoric, and I'm pretty sure they lived longer than that. I've recently saw a video of like some old, krusty looking shark and the like, yeah, this shark was alive, and they gave some ridiculous status like are you talking about the Greenland shark? Yeah? How old I was saying it was. They can be like four hundred some years old. Yeah, they don't start mating until they're like one hundred and fifty. Crazy, right, fascinating shark Megalodon exists still, but I find it amazing always that speaking of tortai, would that be the plural tortoises? They live forever oasis style. I think it's so cool that Sylvester Stallone absolutely Rocky Bob Boa. This is Coffin Link Coffin Link from the nineteen seventy six Academy Award winning Rocky his two pet turtles that he got from Adrian, I'm assuming or that pets shop. I mean he was trying to get with Adrian at the pet shop. Yo. This is golfin link. My turtles, absolutely right. They're still alive till this day. They're over forty something years old. He still has them and they made a cameo again in the twenty eighteen Crete movie Creed two. I believe they're in so they're still movie stars and I still remember them. And I'm a big yeah cuff and link man. I think that's pretty crazy that Stallone still has those guys. I think that's awesome. You think Stallone, uh on the side now you think he watched knownas being that the great Talia Shire? Yes, is absolutely absolutely, I mean your great jobs. They're they're the remaining stars of that movie. That's insane. So other animals in entertainment and I don't know, you want to give a price, like the best answer, Danny g Just for fun? Sure, if you make us laugh with one or something, I don't know, we'll let Sam be the judge. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Let's go.
That's good timing. Just a heads up for our winners over the past month or so. Yeah, the Swiggy shipment is going to go out next Yeah, so if you win today or tomorrow for summer, you are just in time for the big shipment.
Yeah.
There's some koozies in there too. If you're a kid of the eighties and nineties, I feel like my siblings would say something like, Babe the pig. Do you feel like your younger siblings would say that as well? Yeah, it was a big one. I'll give you. I'll give you one that's on my list. I don't know why I love this movie. I thought it was hilarious because I think I'm calling it an animal? Could we agree that? Uh, you're talking about your crush on miss Piggy. She was hot, dude, and she wanted it Kermit was like Kermit was reluctant. She was ready at all times. She was hot for pig Yeah, yeah, piggy style. Would you say, Harry and the Henderson's is a big foot counter? No, Harry, No, no, okay, all right, well then how about the Abominable Snow? How about Beethoven? Did you watch that movie Beethoven? That big ass Charles Groden dog with Charles Groden? Yes, absolutely yes, slobbering all over the place, no doubt. All right, so we go to the phones. Who makes this random animal hall of Fame that we just invented? Since you brought up a dog, Rich, I'll get mine out of the way. I'm a huge fan. You know what comes out at the end of this month. Peewee Herman as himself, and it's a documentary where he comes out of the closet and he talks about his life. He passed away unfortunately, but the documentary comes out on HBO Max. By the way, it's HBO Max again this summer May twenty eighth. But in the movie Pewee's Big Adventure, one of my all time favorites, his dog Spec was a superstar. Hey specs back. So who comes to mind for you. Let's go. Can I give you one more on your mom's Mount rushmore of Boomers? There's only four on the Mount Rush. I know I'm gonna reply, might replace one because I might throw Wrin Tin Tin. I that's on your Grandpa Pie's mount right. Yeah, you want to start with Ohio and say what's up to Josh? Yeah? I didn't know Marris the Alligator even got a credit in this movie. I didn't think anyone cared about him, but apparently it's a big story this week. What's up, Josh?
What's happy Thursday to my favorite Shollo eighties babies? Real quick? Didn't the alligator die in the movie? Didn't they chop his head off and give it to Chubbs as a gift?
Yeah?
He did. I remember he was in the clouds as a dead gator. At the end of the movie. We find out when they really just died. This week?
Yep, so my pick is a three headed Rottwaller monster snot from Christmas Vacation, killer from Half Baked, and Rommel from True Romance, Ran from the mere presence of Christopher Walkt.
They killed Killer b they killed Killer be Yeah, are all good? Thank you? You got me thinking of another one. Go ahead if you're gonna talk about half baked, the horse, butternuts, buttercup, Oh yeah, butter nuts, the horse, butternuts, the horse, buttercups, butternuts, butter outside, a heart attack or something. So who else do we got? Eight seven, seven ninety nine one Fox Texas and Brad what's up? Bread? Hey Texas?
What's going on?
Guys?
What's upbody?
Hey? You want to throw back?
Let's go to the animals that killed the tourism god in the seventies.
Josh, that might be the king. Dude, Dude, that was definitely up there. It's gotta be Josh changed the way we live. That's the true story too. I Mean everyone had a fear of sharks, but not like the way we have now where we think that we're gonna be eaten by one thanks to that movie. That's another classic. I have one for you, just as almost just as scary Snowflake the dolphin. Yeah, a spina snowflake. I mean someone stole snowflake, right, Yeah, yeah, uh, that's a good one. Danny g. There's a lot of investigating the very bottom of the tank, a lot of a lot of that movie not go in there. Yeah, I got one stupid I was just chrying out for seven years and he puts up a five. I feel like no one else is gonna say this. I'll say it. I if you know me. Keavino makes one of the all the time one of my favorite shows. When I was a little boy, I loved Alf on the show. Remember he was always trying to eat Lucky the cat. That was the main storylines. So I'm gonna throw Lucky the cat by the way. That was innuendo Alf liked to eat. Oh oh yeah, oh had to be. You just shadowed the glass for a lot of people. You just realized that Alf liked it, and you're the dumbest kid ever. I think, oh, that might have been. Oh oh, let's go back to the phones. Every stupid show had a sprocket or some stupid dog or was the dog on Brady Bunch. It was always you remember spot Tiger, some dog or some stupid animal.
The famous episode where Tiger was hiding all of the family's toys and things inside the dog house.
Yeah Tiger, good call dB Abraham the goldfish on different strokes. That's a darn old Jackson's goldfish. You would talk to it all the time. All right, let's go back to the phones eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox and again, chime in at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Let's go to Lancaster and Jerry, Jerry, what's up man? What's up? Boddy?
Hey?
How you doing? On Heart Radio?
Hey?
How about a let's turn Clygunnywood.
Rang a tang the orangutang with clint E Swood. You might as well throw the monkey from Friends on the list. I'm sorry, do you mean orangutan? Yeah, that's true. That no, g that's true. Thank you byd I. You know, I got one that was a dog with a monologue, a dog that would comment, but it was like a funny little side thing all the time on Married Her Children? Remember Buck every so often Buck the Dogs. That's a really good one like that. All of a sudden you would show close up buff any of like this supid family. That's funny. That's the dog. Who else we got, David? You're on the show man, can you know? Rich? What's up? Bud? Hey? What's up? Dave?
Yeah?
I got two? I got one favorite Bremer list.
You got the old horse trigger.
You know what, throw it on might as well.
And then my own.
Personal favorite, you gotta go with Spider Pig from the Simpsons.
Well, if you're gonna do that, if you go with Spider Pig, do you also have to go with uh, Santa's Little Helper? I was sam, isn't that the like one of the first episodes?
Right?
It's their dog, Spider Pig? I think is is that like one episode? But yeah, Santa's Little Helper was there there? Uh Greyhound? I believe you know what, I'm gonna switch it up a little bit because growing up rich I'm an eighties kid. Right, do you remember the cat brand nine lives? Yeah, we're talking about Mars the Alligator. What about Mars the Cat? That was the big star of all those commercials, right, Mars the Cat nine lives? No, nobody. I'm the only guy, I guess, so I'm the only guy that remember is Mars the Cat? I remember? I just didn't think it was good. Yeah, I'm also incorporating you know, cartoons and commercials here. I'm not gonna limit it to major motion pictures. Question, if you're going to incorporate cartoons, which it seems like we have been doing. Yeah, do you put Brian Brian, Brian the dog on family Guy? I mean, he's part of the family, but he is the pet. Charlie the Tuna.
Hello, I feel like you guys are extending this segment for an extra hour if you were in animal cartoons.
Okay, I want to stick to major motion pictures since we're talking Mars the Alligator.
Or TV shows. This pet didn't even have his own show. But you knew you were watching or just watched a good show when you would hear sit ubu sit good dog.
Oh yeah, by the way, I think every idiot, well maybe just me, am I the lone idiot, loan idiot. No, there's a whole slew of internet idiots that agree with you. I only thought it was Boo boo when I was a kid. I was going to sit booboo, sit good dogs, even though I said, right there, uh boo productions. But I was dumb and I was like nine.
Like people from southern California in the eighties and early nineties, it was go see cow, Go see cow, Go see cow, and we all thought he was saying pussy cow, pussy cow, pussye cow because he had cows and elephants and animals and all his TV commercials.
What other animals sit? Uh boo sit? And now I always feel like that was in my mind. Family Ties was definitely one of them. Good dog bro Yeah, quite a few good series had that at the end of it. Any of these animals, though, Like, I'm not saying we got to step up the references, but I'm talking or we should be thinking. I meant, you have anyone at Academy Award Now I deserve like a star in the Walk of Fame, Like, are there any other like really famous ones we're forgetting? I mean, probably the ones of our parents are version like a Lassie or something. But what about I mean a famous TV dog of the nineties and eighties. If you're a fan of Full House, Comet was a big part of the Tanner household. But you don't care about that one. Hmmm. I'm thinking of.
Thinking about movies that were just about dogs. Gosh, that Belushi remember that movie he was in.
That does It Go? Spot? Did? Didn't Screech have a lizard or something already already the lizard from Screech? I love how Rich pretended to not know. Meanwhile, he's the president of the Screech fans, but they did have for already The Lizard Rich knows. They say Artie Boy to Danny Boy
