- 1:58Speaker 4: This is the perfect athlete to have on about this topic.
- 2:01Speaker 1: I thought the same.
- 2:02Speaker 2: I'm like, who knows football and fighting more than a

- 2:09Speaker 2: and a guy that runs a fight league, so lights
- 2:11Speaker 2: out shown Merriman will be here. But you know, before
- 2:13Speaker 2: we get into all this, can we close the chapter
- 2:17Speaker 2: on something. Can we, you know, figure out something that
- 2:20Speaker 2: we've been seeing all week on social media? Have you
- 2:24Speaker 2: seen the CEO of McDonald's take a little little baby
- 2:30Speaker 2: bite of the new Archburger guy looks like he's never
- 2:34Speaker 2: eaten McDonald's in his life. In fact, I wouldn't be
- 2:36Speaker 2: shocked if he's like, just the CEO and he's like,
- 2:39Speaker 2: do you think I eat that trash? No way, I
- 2:41Speaker 2: wouldn't shock me. And then burger King came out. Ceo
- 2:45Speaker 2: is to get a big bite of a whopper whend
- 2:47Speaker 2: he's gets involved, but Danny g was kind enough on
- 2:50Speaker 2: his way in to stop and get the new big arch.
- 2:54Speaker 2: This is no commercial. If it tastes like ass, i'll
- 2:57Speaker 2: tell you. If it's good, i'll tell you. But I figure,
- 3:00Speaker 2: why not give it a shot together?
- 3:02Speaker 1: I was Sam, you got your burger? Yeah, you d
- 3:07Speaker 1: got you got your burger.
- 3:08Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 3:08Speaker 4: They're in front of all of us, right.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Well, I think it's I think we should all take.
- 3:11Speaker 4: A uh except Dan Byer, he only eats chicken nuggies.
- 3:15Speaker 1: We should have got him. We should got him move
- 3:16Speaker 1: the six piece.
- 3:18Speaker 2: They have those little uh you know what they have
- 3:20Speaker 2: now in the kids meal because once a week, I
- 3:22Speaker 2: uh you know, you don't want eat McDonald's too much
- 3:24Speaker 2: and you'll feel like ass. I let my kids go
- 3:27Speaker 2: once after baseball practice and they have what we had
- 3:30Speaker 2: as kids, remember the like the little things that turn
- 3:33Speaker 2: into animals, like like a burger will turn into a creature,
- 3:37Speaker 2: or a fry box of fries turns into something like
- 3:40Speaker 2: little transformer McDonald's toys.
- 3:42Speaker 1: We'll get them one of those.
- 3:43Speaker 4: Well, I'll tell you what I have this in common
- 3:45Speaker 4: with buyer. I like what I like. And if somebody says, oh,
- 3:48Speaker 4: there's this new burger, I'm not the first to go
- 3:50Speaker 4: taste tested.
- 3:51Speaker 1: All right, Well, I think we all like a tasty burger.
- 3:57Speaker 4: This is a tasty burger.
- 4:00Speaker 1: Thank you.
- 4:01Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, if you ask me my personal opinion,
- 4:04Speaker 2: I'm more of a smash burger type of guy. I'm
- 4:06Speaker 2: down with a little Freddy's. I'm down with a little
- 4:08Speaker 2: uh shake shack usually.
- 4:12Speaker 1: In and out.
- 4:12Speaker 2: I get down with if within and out. McDonald's not usually.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So let's do this. Let's cross this off our list.
- 4:20Speaker 2: Of things, Danny. All week, we've been trying to figure
- 4:23Speaker 2: out and if you don't know what we're talking about,
- 4:25Speaker 2: the CEO of McDonald's, I think he you know, no
- 4:29Speaker 2: offense to this guy. I'm sure he's trying his best,
- 4:32Speaker 2: but you don't debut newburger. Put a video out and
- 4:34Speaker 2: take a little baby, honestly, a little baby be bite.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Just listen to a little recap of what this dude did.
- 4:43Speaker 6: Donald's ceo probably doesn't actually eat McDonald's after a recent
- 4:48Speaker 6: promotional clip. That rumor is louder than ever. In the video,
- 4:52Speaker 6: Chris Kemshinsky appears on camera to introduce the new big Archburger.
- 4:56Speaker 6: He holds it up confidently, gives a quick introduction and
- 4:59Speaker 6: say that's up what he calls the moment of truth.
- 5:02Speaker 6: Oh what wars Expect a big, satisfying bite. Instead, he takes
- 5:06Speaker 6: one of the smallest bites imaginable.
- 5:09Speaker 4: That is so good.
- 5:10Speaker 6: It's careful, it's controlled. It almost looks like he doesn't
- 5:14Speaker 6: want to fully commit to it.
- 5:15Speaker 2: Oh, it looks like he doesn't know how to eat
- 5:16Speaker 2: a burger. We're gonna take a bite right now. We'll
- 5:19Speaker 2: give you the scoop and we can move on with
- 5:20Speaker 2: our life.
- 5:21Speaker 4: It looks like he doesn't eat burgers.
- 5:23Speaker 1: You know my rule?
- 5:24Speaker 2: If I go out with a bunch of grown ups,
- 5:26Speaker 2: bunch of grown men and women, I think it's embarrassing
- 5:29Speaker 2: if you don't finish the burger on your plate.
- 5:31Speaker 1: I really do. I think it's like a weird thing.
- 5:33Speaker 2: You ever go out with You ever go out with
- 5:35Speaker 2: a group of people and you see someone left like
- 5:37Speaker 2: a quarter of their burger. I could see leaving some
- 5:40Speaker 2: fries or salad or something on the side. If you
- 5:42Speaker 2: leave a part of your burger, like, what do we do?
- 5:44Speaker 2: I would say them, Have you ever left a part
- 5:45Speaker 2: of your burger?
- 5:46Speaker 3: No?
- 5:47Speaker 7: If I have like an entree and there's a meat,
- 5:49Speaker 7: is that one of the main courses? I usually finish
- 5:51Speaker 7: the steak, finish the burger.
- 5:53Speaker 1: I mean you have to. It's like part of the rules.
- 5:55Speaker 1: What's up Dan Bayer's fellows?
- 5:58Speaker 4: How are you?
- 5:58Speaker 1: You're a nuggy guy? Heard you're not?
- 6:00Speaker 8: Huh No, Well, yeah, here's the deal. I am a
- 6:02Speaker 8: plain hamburger. That's it. Bunning the meat only so the lettuce,
- 6:05Speaker 8: the cheese. I saw the video and he was as
- 6:08Speaker 8: as the CEO was describing the burger. It just had
- 6:11Speaker 8: everything that I don't like. I you have to say
- 6:13Speaker 8: bun and meat.
- 6:14Speaker 4: That's it.
- 6:14Speaker 8: My diet's like a ten year old and so I
- 6:17Speaker 8: am not in with the big arch unless it's arch manning,
- 6:19Speaker 8: Like that's the only thing that we are going with.
- 6:22Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 6:22Speaker 2: It's like every night with my wife's like, what do
- 6:23Speaker 2: you want for dinner? And I yeah, whatever you want.
- 6:26Speaker 2: She's like, no, no for the kids because my kids
- 6:27Speaker 2: are like you. She's like, their menu is limited.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Yes, Dino chicken.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Chicken, Dino nuggets, mac and cheese, maybe a plane burger,
- 6:37Speaker 2: got it. You gotta trick them. All right, let's take
- 6:40Speaker 2: about of this and we'll move on with our lives.
- 6:42Speaker 2: Danny g I was sam all at the same time.
- 6:45Speaker 2: This is the arch burger, Babe.
- 6:47Speaker 1: It's it. Know, it's a good looking burger. It's a
- 6:49Speaker 1: good looking burger.
- 6:50Speaker 4: Man. I didn't even bring my water in.
- 6:52Speaker 5: Oh.
- 6:52Speaker 8: I know you guys got napkins. Are you allowed to
- 6:55Speaker 8: do that with the equipment?
- 6:57Speaker 4: Yeah? Yeah, Well just on you guys.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Chew.
- 7:01Speaker 2: You know what, pretty tasty burger, but it really tastes
- 7:05Speaker 2: no different than if you were to get another McDonald's burger.
- 7:08Speaker 2: It tastes like that. You know that McDonald's meat we
- 7:12Speaker 2: well sauce and cheese.
- 7:13Speaker 8: No Donald's meat that comes out in the plastic tray.
- 7:16Speaker 8: I mean, but that's like that's a man bite. What
- 7:18Speaker 8: are we doing?
- 7:19Speaker 1: Did you guys eat? Danny ate it?
- 7:20Speaker 8: Like the Burger King ceo. Remember how he like was
- 7:23Speaker 8: really trying to hot dog it. No pun intended, but
- 7:27Speaker 8: he really took the big bite, like, look at this
- 7:29Speaker 8: is why I come to Burger King for the big bike,
- 7:32Speaker 8: the big one.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Yes, but I will say dB. If I go to
- 7:34Speaker 4: In and Out with my wife, she makes fun of
- 7:37Speaker 4: that first bite. She's like, geez, you were hundred and
- 7:39Speaker 4: then I slow down. I'm like, take a care. First
- 7:42Speaker 4: bike looks like the Cincinnati Reds logo.
- 7:44Speaker 1: It's just it's just a wishbone of meat at the end. Right,
- 7:49Speaker 1: my good, that's funny. All right? So hey, pretty good?
- 7:52Speaker 4: Not bad? You give it one out of ten burger listen.
- 7:56Speaker 1: So I would still prefer like a shakeshacker in and
- 7:58Speaker 1: out or something like that, but.
- 7:59Speaker 4: This is make seven with two pickles.
- 8:02Speaker 1: I'll give it a I'll give it six point seven.
- 8:05Speaker 2: I'll be like an annoying teenager seven it's it's average,
- 8:09Speaker 2: it's adequate. But if you think you're getting a different taste,
- 8:11Speaker 2: it tastes like a McDonald's.
- 8:12Speaker 1: Burger, just with a little souse on it. It tastes
- 8:14Speaker 1: like a Big Mac.
- 8:14Speaker 7: It has more crunch with like crispy onions. I took
- 8:18Speaker 7: like a full semi circle by it out of there,
- 8:19Speaker 7: and it's pretty good good. Yeah, I mean it tastes
- 8:21Speaker 7: like McDonald's though, definitely. Yeah, there's no all their signature
- 8:24Speaker 7: flavors that they have in there.
- 8:26Speaker 2: If you ordered like a cheeseburger for McDonald's versus this,
- 8:30Speaker 2: it's like tastes the same. So don't waste My thought is,
- 8:33Speaker 2: don't waste your time and money.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Danny G. You said its almost ten bucks for one
- 8:36Speaker 1: of these.
- 8:36Speaker 4: Yeah, after tax it's ten dollars. How different is it
- 8:39Speaker 4: from a Big Mac?
- 8:41Speaker 1: Not much. I can't tell you the last time I
- 8:42Speaker 1: had a Big Mac. But it has that.
- 8:43Speaker 4: Except for the Big Mac sauce. Yeah, a little bit
- 8:45Speaker 4: of the Yeah.
- 8:45Speaker 1: It's it's same. So hey, you know what we did
- 8:47Speaker 1: the work for you. Don't waste your.
- 8:49Speaker 4: Time, do you.
- 8:49Speaker 8: Well, that's the that's the question, Like, is the promotion
- 8:52Speaker 8: from all of this just to at least get you
- 8:55Speaker 8: there once. Like you're saying, like, okay, fine, it was good,
- 8:59Speaker 8: but like I like, I for a second there, I'm like,
- 9:01Speaker 8: oh man, I feel bad for McDonald's that you know,
- 9:03Speaker 8: Rich didn't like it. But then I'm like, maybe that's
- 9:05Speaker 8: just their point is to get people into the walls,
- 9:08Speaker 8: into the you know, into the restaurant or drive through
- 9:10Speaker 8: for the one time to try it.
- 9:12Speaker 2: That that sign they have with billions served outside there
- 9:15Speaker 2: for a reason. But yeah, maybe right if millions of
- 9:18Speaker 2: people like I'll try it, Yes, I guess uh point
- 9:22Speaker 2: made so Rich.
- 9:23Speaker 5: Uh.
- 9:24Speaker 7: Here's what is supposed to be on it. Two quarter
- 9:26Speaker 7: pound beef patties. Three slices of white cheddar cheese which
- 9:29Speaker 7: I couldn't tell the difference. No crispy and sliver it
- 9:32Speaker 7: all white cheese looks the same to me. Crispy and
- 9:35Speaker 7: slivered onions, which I could tell. There was more of
- 9:37Speaker 7: a crunch to it, which is nice, like with the
- 9:39Speaker 7: lettuce pickles, lettuce and a new tangy big big arch sauce,
- 9:42Speaker 7: big Arch sauce which tastes like the same sauce it's
- 9:45Speaker 7: on a big Mac.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like that. It's like that sauce that's on
- 9:48Speaker 2: every like smash which is or anything?
- 9:50Speaker 1: Is that like basically a thousand Island dressing on.
- 9:52Speaker 2: So hey, you know what, DB's right. I don't think
- 9:54Speaker 2: this has the rage at all. Remember a couple of
- 9:56Speaker 2: years ago when it was the Popey's Chicken sandwich. Now
- 10:00Speaker 2: that was something else.
- 10:01Speaker 8: Huh, Yes, truly was people standing outside. And here's the
- 10:04Speaker 8: deal with Popeyes. So Popeyes will give you if you
- 10:08Speaker 8: were to order tenders, if you guys, don't mind. I
- 10:10Speaker 8: don't know if there's another topic.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Please do. I love food radio.
- 10:13Speaker 8: The great thing about Popeyes is that the spiciness doesn't
- 10:17Speaker 8: come in the sauce when you're ordering the tenders or
- 10:21Speaker 8: if you're ordering the chicken. The spiciness is within the
- 10:24Speaker 8: chicken itself. There's a spicy it's not just an adding
- 10:28Speaker 8: of a sauce. The sandwich was different. The filet that
- 10:30Speaker 8: they gave you was just a normal filet, but they
- 10:33Speaker 8: give you a spicy sauce. So I'm not a big
- 10:36Speaker 8: sauce guy, but I would have loved like Wendy's, the
- 10:39Speaker 8: Wendy Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The reason why it's so good
- 10:41Speaker 8: is because the actual chicken is spicy. You can see
- 10:45Speaker 8: the you know, the flex of pepper on there, like
- 10:48Speaker 8: that's what makes it so good. And it's why I'm
- 10:50Speaker 8: not a huge Raising Canes fan, because it's all about
- 10:52Speaker 8: their sauce. Otherwise it's just to me plain tenders and fries.
- 10:55Speaker 2: Dampire likes his chicken sandwiches like a Latina woman. The
- 10:58Speaker 2: spice within, Yeah, old spice. That's what I'm getting out
- 11:02Speaker 2: of this.
- 11:02Speaker 8: Latin and Armenian women. That's you know, you know I
- 11:04Speaker 8: have to bring my wife into this. Yeah, but you
- 11:06Speaker 8: want that inner absolutely, But that's the that's the difference
- 11:10Speaker 8: of it. So when you're just putting like the sauce
- 11:12Speaker 8: that is spicy, I think in a way it's a
- 11:14Speaker 8: cop out for some of these places.
- 11:15Speaker 1: You don't mean that will extra sauce. I hear you, dB. Yeah,
- 11:18Speaker 1: good sauce. That's a good sauce. Thank you, Ben Aler,
- 11:22Speaker 1: Thank you d B. Thank you guys. So we could
- 11:24Speaker 1: we could close the book.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Danny g on the on the Burger Wars of twenty
- 11:27Speaker 2: twenty six.
- 11:28Speaker 7: Who do I owe ten bucks for for lunch? No,
- 11:30Speaker 7: it's it's is it going in to see on our budget?
- 11:32Speaker 1: It's go. Yeah, it's thank you. We're taking out of
- 11:33Speaker 1: the see in our budget. Thank you very much.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Thank you, Scott Shapiro, Thanks God or whoever, don't thank you.
- 11:38Speaker 1: I'm paying for it. Nice to see in our budget.
- 11:40Speaker 2: But you know what, I always love when companies like,
- 11:42Speaker 2: oh yeah, petty cash.
- 11:43Speaker 1: I'm like, wh where does petty cash come from? What
- 11:44Speaker 1: do you know what that means?
- 11:46Speaker 2: All right, listen a lot coming up on the show.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Thank you for indulging our indulgence of one. Actually I
- 11:52Speaker 2: took two bites. I'll be honest, I'm gonna end u finishing.
- 11:54Speaker 2: I'm crush this thing, I said. I said to you,
- 11:58Speaker 2: it's one bite, and everyone knows the rules, and we
- 11:59Speaker 2: have beating the whole thing.
- 12:00Speaker 1: I'll h Dave. I said to Danny Jago, why did
- 12:04Speaker 1: I just buy a couple? We'll we'll, we'll split them.
- 12:06Speaker 2: I'm going to the Dominican Republican a week and I
- 12:08Speaker 2: need uh, I need my beach bod. And he's like, you,
- 12:10Speaker 2: you don't think that'll look weak as hell if you
- 12:12Speaker 2: if we split a burger.
- 12:13Speaker 1: I'm like, you're right, let's get our own burgers.
- 12:15Speaker 7: I remember as a kid, I would order a cheeseburger,
- 12:17Speaker 7: and my dad would like cut it in half for me,
- 12:19Speaker 7: and then like later in life, he's like, yeah, you
- 12:21Speaker 7: really don't cut a burger in half, eat it hole.
- 12:23Speaker 1: We were just being cheap. Yeah, yeah, that was for
- 12:26Speaker 1: your sister.
- 12:27Speaker 2: My parents would never get drinks at a restaurant, like
- 12:30Speaker 2: the idea of a fountain, so it was like, no, no,
- 12:32Speaker 2: we got stuff at home, and I'm like, yeah, but
- 12:33Speaker 2: we're eating here.
- 12:36Speaker 1: Get a water cup. All right.
- 12:38Speaker 2: I want to start today's show besides burgers. I want
- 12:41Speaker 2: to talk about something Danny sent me. It made me
- 12:45Speaker 2: confirm my thoughts on where the sports world is going,
- 12:48Speaker 2: and this one had to do with Anthony Edwards. Anthony
- 12:52Speaker 2: Edwards throwing some vibes out there in the form of
- 12:57Speaker 2: his plans for the future.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Listen to this.
- 12:59Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards has expressed interest in playing in the NFL,
- 13:06Speaker 2: specifically stating he would try to become a wide receiver
- 13:09Speaker 2: or a backup quarterback if he wins an NBA title
- 13:13Speaker 2: before the age of thirty. And you know, with the
- 13:18Speaker 2: money floating floating around sports now, and we talked about
- 13:21Speaker 2: Kyler Murray the other day. In fact, yesterday, we were
- 13:25Speaker 2: saying Kyler Murray. Here's a guy that made a couple
- 13:27Speaker 2: hundred million dollars in the NFL. He could now say
- 13:31Speaker 2: chapter closed, let me go give my shout of baseball.
- 13:35Speaker 1: The A's who said, hey, invite still there.
- 13:38Speaker 2: Do you think we were would see a day where
- 13:41Speaker 2: players said I made so much money quick that I
- 13:44Speaker 2: could try another sport.
- 13:47Speaker 4: I don't think so.
- 13:48Speaker 1: You think people are just gonna stick with Brent.
- 13:51Speaker 4: I think that.
- 13:51Speaker 8: You know, remember Brandon Wheden, he played minor league baseball.
- 13:55Speaker 8: I end that and then ended up being drafted. I
- 13:58Speaker 8: think Brandon was twenty eight when he was drafted by.
- 14:00Speaker 1: The Brown Yeah he was. I remember being like, wow,
- 14:02Speaker 1: this is a rookie and he's almost thirty.
- 14:03Speaker 8: Yes, yes, Like I think you have to you have
- 14:07Speaker 8: to burn out that way.
- 14:09Speaker 4: I think it would be.
- 14:10Speaker 8: I don't know how Anthony Edwards could find a spot
- 14:12Speaker 8: for him, considering every position in the NFL is let's
- 14:15Speaker 8: get younger, except if you're playing quarterback. But that would
- 14:18Speaker 8: be the I just I don't see it, especially with
- 14:22Speaker 8: how good these athletes are now.
- 14:26Speaker 2: Ben and Jerry Jones always put out that permanent invite
- 14:28Speaker 2: to Lebron James if he if he wanted to give
- 14:31Speaker 2: his shot a tight end in the NFL. Yeah, because
- 14:34Speaker 2: a lot of these guys are just pure athletes and
- 14:38Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards is a guy that the guy's a specimen.
- 14:41Speaker 2: So could Anthony Edwards play in the NFL? Again, we
- 14:44Speaker 2: don't know. We've never seen him catch footballs. We've never
- 14:47Speaker 2: seen him, you know, drop back in the pocket. And
- 14:49Speaker 2: you know he said he wants to be a backup quarterback.
- 14:51Speaker 2: There's a little bit more to it than Anthony Edwards
- 14:53Speaker 2: saying he wants to do it.
- 14:55Speaker 4: It's correct.
- 14:56Speaker 8: They're like Matt. I remember Matt Barnes. You know Matt
- 15:00Speaker 8: everybody knows from all the smoke now. Yeah, but he
- 15:02Speaker 8: was great high school football player. Allen Iverson's history of
- 15:07Speaker 8: how great of a football player that he was. But
- 15:09Speaker 8: I think that goes away once you in very rare instances,
- 15:16Speaker 8: can you do it and then also play at that
- 15:18Speaker 8: high level? That's the part like there's just there's only
- 15:21Speaker 8: so many Bo Jackson's and Dion Sande that the guy.
- 15:24Speaker 2: I wrote down, I'm like God of the days of
- 15:25Speaker 2: Bow and Dion where you're trying to do it at
- 15:27Speaker 2: the same time. Maybe there maybe we're entering a world
- 15:29Speaker 2: where a guy's like, yeah, I'm not even thirty and
- 15:31Speaker 2: I've made one hundred plus million dollars.
- 15:35Speaker 1: My passion is to play a different sport.
- 15:37Speaker 2: And listen, I know those guys that are just great
- 15:39Speaker 2: athletes that we've heard could do anything, like like a
- 15:41Speaker 2: Mookie Bets. And I'm not saying Bowling's the money winner,
- 15:44Speaker 2: but like Mookie Bets. Have you seen this guy do
- 15:46Speaker 2: everything everything Mookie Bets does athletically, You're like, oh, wow,
- 15:50Speaker 2: he's just he's an athlete. He's the kid that played
- 15:53Speaker 2: every season, every sport when he was a little boy.
- 15:56Speaker 1: But you know, now he's a grownup.
- 15:58Speaker 2: Would he step away from baseball to give it a
- 16:01Speaker 2: shot at something else? Would Anthony Edwards say, yeah, I'm
- 16:03Speaker 2: an e lead NBA player, but you know what, I've
- 16:06Speaker 2: made my big money.
- 16:08Speaker 1: Let me go try to play football.
- 16:10Speaker 4: You have to love football. That's that's a conversation in itself.
- 16:14Speaker 8: I mean, if you've played, if you love football, if
- 16:17Speaker 8: you play football, because it is not the easiest sport
- 16:20Speaker 8: to love. So for Anthony Edwards to say that that
- 16:23Speaker 8: he would really really love football, I mean, the guy
- 16:25Speaker 8: is ripped.
- 16:25Speaker 4: He's a freak specimen.
- 16:27Speaker 8: But I don't know why you'd want to play football
- 16:29Speaker 8: when you can make so much more money.
- 16:31Speaker 2: That's what I would say, save your body. That's the
- 16:34Speaker 2: Kyler Murray argument because money in the NFL. Even if
- 16:37Speaker 2: he ends up with the Vikings or someone, he'd still
- 16:39Speaker 2: make more significantly more there, in my opinion, than if
- 16:42Speaker 2: he did anything with the A's or in baseball, because he'd.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Sort of have to start over here.
- 16:46Speaker 2: He's not going to get some Wan Soto you know
- 16:50Speaker 2: Otani contract, Aaron Judge money just because he's Kyler Murray
- 16:54Speaker 2: going to baseball. So he's still going to make tens
- 16:57Speaker 2: of millions dollars as a quarterback somewhere. Likely is he
- 17:01Speaker 2: is he willing to say, you know what, for my
- 17:03Speaker 2: health and to fresh fresh start, I'm going to do baseball.
- 17:07Speaker 8: It's also different because in DM's not the greatest example,
- 17:13Speaker 8: but because DM did play at a couple of teams.
- 17:15Speaker 8: But like, if you're Kyler Murray, are you are you
- 17:18Speaker 8: really rushing the play for the A's right now? It
- 17:21Speaker 8: would be different. I mean, you know, I'll give Bo
- 17:24Speaker 8: Jackson credit for doing it with the Royals. I don't
- 17:27Speaker 8: know if that was the day and age that we
- 17:28Speaker 8: live in. But being a Yankee and doing it is
- 17:31Speaker 8: brings a lot more cachet than it would be to
- 17:33Speaker 8: be a Sacramento a.
- 17:36Speaker 2: I mean, listen, I know it is because there was
- 17:39Speaker 2: sort of a an ending that they didn't really want.
- 17:42Speaker 2: But Tim Tebow when football is over, remember he gave
- 17:45Speaker 2: a shot at baseball and he played minor league ball
- 17:47Speaker 2: for the Mets and tried to he tried to take
- 17:49Speaker 2: the team breaking spring training, and it was just like, yeah, sorry, dude.
- 17:51Speaker 1: As much as the story would have been cool, like
- 17:54Speaker 1: you're good, you're not you're not a professional.
- 17:57Speaker 8: Yeah you're not that you're good. You can mix it
- 18:01Speaker 8: up with the guys here and there, but don't have any.
- 18:03Speaker 4: Falls on that.
- 18:04Speaker 2: Like I very much like the goat Michael Jordan, I mean,
- 18:07Speaker 2: the greatest of all time in basketball. You know, could
- 18:10Speaker 2: swing a bat better than all of us in the bigs.
- 18:12Speaker 2: But he's not going to make a big league team
- 18:14Speaker 2: just because he's Michael Jordan.
- 18:16Speaker 8: There's also a bit of arrogance that goes along with it,
- 18:18Speaker 8: where you really have to be that unique of an
- 18:22Speaker 8: athlete's and relate to the other players for them to
- 18:25Speaker 8: welcome you. To think that you could just walk into
- 18:28Speaker 8: their world and end up taking over. Now, like Bo
- 18:31Speaker 8: Jackson's talent was undeniable. He was an All star in baseball,
- 18:34Speaker 8: and we saw what he did on the football field
- 18:36Speaker 8: before getting injured. But so there wasn't like a question
- 18:39Speaker 8: of that. But I'm sure that there were players if
- 18:41Speaker 8: they weren't in all of Michael Jordan wondered like, all right,
- 18:43Speaker 8: what's going on here? And I would assume for as
- 18:46Speaker 8: great as a guy that Tim Tebow is, it is
- 18:49Speaker 8: a bit of an arrogant thinking to like think like, hey,
- 18:52Speaker 8: I can just come in here and play this sort of.
- 18:54Speaker 2: Yeah, I always felt bad for the guys that were
- 18:56Speaker 2: fighting for spots and it's like, yeah, man, Tim Tebow
- 18:59Speaker 2: or Michael Jordan's someone took my spot at their attempt
- 19:03Speaker 2: at like a hobby a muster.
- 19:04Speaker 8: Yes, And then if you were to say something about it,
- 19:06Speaker 8: you would look a one hundred times worse. Yeah, even
- 19:08Speaker 8: though you're probably valid in all of your feelings with
- 19:11Speaker 8: how it played out.
- 19:12Speaker 1: No doubt.
- 19:12Speaker 2: Well, you know what a guy that knows about multiple sports,
- 19:14Speaker 2: a guy that knows about the fight game and football,
- 19:18Speaker 2: and this ties him perfectly because we're coming off of
- 19:21Speaker 2: days of Logan Paul talking a lot of smack about
- 19:25Speaker 2: NFL players and Tom Brady calling him a.

- 19:42Speaker 2: free agency with one of my favors. Sean Merriman joins

- 23:42Speaker 1: dB. What's going on, my friend? Thank you very much.
- 23:44Speaker 4: Rich.
- 23:44Speaker 8: A lot going on in the NFL today, getting ready
- 23:47Speaker 8: for that new league year that starts on Wednesday. Of course,
- 23:49Speaker 8: the free agent legal free agent Tampa ring period will
- 23:53Speaker 8: start on Monday. Today, the Raiders released quarterback Gino Smith,
- 23:56Speaker 8: Texan's letting go of running back Jill Mixon, while Viking
- 23:59Speaker 8: center Ryan Kelly announced that he is retiring. In college football,
- 24:03Speaker 8: former Michigan head football coach Charon Moore reached a plea
- 24:06Speaker 8: deal following his arrest last December. He led no contest
- 24:09Speaker 8: to two misdemeanors, as the felony home invasion charge against
- 24:12Speaker 8: Moore was dropped. More will be sentenced on April fourteenth,
- 24:15Speaker 8: but he is not expected to serve any jail time.
- 24:18Speaker 8: In college basketball, North Carolina dealt another blow when it
- 24:21Speaker 8: came to freshman guard Caleb Wilson. Wilson's going to miss
- 24:25Speaker 8: the rest of the season after fracturing his right thumb
- 24:28Speaker 8: in practice on Thursday. In the NBA, Celtics star Jason
- 24:31Speaker 8: Tatum makes his season debut to night against the Mavericks

- 24:40Speaker 8: of a left elbow contusion, also dealing with left foot arthritis.

- 24:50Speaker 8: sixty eight today. He's at thirteen under, five shots better
- 24:53Speaker 8: than ox Sheha Batilla, who's at eight under, as for
- 24:56Speaker 8: Rory McElroy, none shots back at minus four Scottie Shecheffer
- 25:00Speaker 8: floor wrapping up his round. Still on the course, he

- 25:26Speaker 2: Rich back to you, Oh thank you, dB, And how
- 25:29Speaker 2: ironic Daniel Berger the day we try our Burgers leading.
- 25:34Speaker 1: And Arch madness, and we're trying the arch, the big arch.
- 25:37Speaker 1: I mean, how about that?
- 25:38Speaker 2: The show rights Heather, the show rights itself. Sam, you
- 25:41Speaker 2: know what the big buzz this week?
- 25:43Speaker 1: I don't know why. I'm a sucker for a good
- 25:45Speaker 1: fight and its counld be know one. I always say,
- 25:47Speaker 1: what do we like? A good fight and a good booty?
- 25:49Speaker 2: And by the way, tonight Team USA against Brazil World
- 25:53Speaker 2: Baseball Classic. They may beat us in a booty contest,
- 25:56Speaker 2: but I think we got this one tonight, a USA.
- 25:58Speaker 2: Let's go to a guy that knows all these things, fights,
- 26:01Speaker 2: NFL everything. One of my pals lights out. Let's give
- 26:05Speaker 2: it up for Sean Merriman. What's up Sean?
- 26:07Speaker 4: Yo?
- 26:07Speaker 3: What's up on man?
- 26:08Speaker 1: How you doing?
- 26:09Speaker 5: Good?
- 26:09Speaker 3: Man?
- 26:09Speaker 2: You know I'm bumming you're out here, and I'm bumming
- 26:11Speaker 2: Cavino's not here because I know you guys. Always he
- 26:13Speaker 2: always gets the yips when he tries to give you
- 26:14Speaker 2: a bro hug and a handshake.
- 26:17Speaker 5: We finally got it right, man, after all these years,
- 26:19Speaker 5: we finally connected on something nice.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Well at Sean Meryman can always catch up with all
- 26:23Speaker 2: the cool things he's doing. But I got to ask
- 26:24Speaker 2: right out the Gate, your guy lights out, you know, fights,
- 26:28Speaker 2: you know NFL.
- 26:29Speaker 1: What's your initial take on this? Tom Brady, Logan, Paul Beef.
- 26:34Speaker 5: Look, I just think it's great promotion for them, right
- 26:37Speaker 5: with the flag football game that got going people talking
- 26:41Speaker 5: about it. I mean, when you're trying to promote something,
- 26:43Speaker 5: it doesn't matter what you think or if you think
- 26:45Speaker 5: it's silly or not. If people talking about it, then
- 26:47Speaker 5: that's good promotion. And people are now I think it's
- 26:50Speaker 5: in my opinion, it crossed the line a little bit
- 26:53Speaker 5: when they started to talking about fighting, which Logan now
- 26:56Speaker 5: is talking about all NFL players. Look, if you want to,
- 26:59Speaker 5: if you want to challenge Top Brady and tell him
- 27:02Speaker 5: you'll knock his head off, no problem, Right, great promotion,
- 27:05Speaker 5: but now you're getting into an area where there's real danger, right,
- 27:10Speaker 5: And I want to take I don't want to take
- 27:12Speaker 5: anything away from Logan because I think he's done a
- 27:14Speaker 5: hell of a job in WW he is. He is
- 27:17Speaker 5: much more of an athlete that people give him credit for.
- 27:20Speaker 5: But you're talking about like professional athletes who do things
- 27:24Speaker 5: to other people for a living.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Yeah, So you know, my first thought is when when
- 27:29Speaker 2: I think of a Miles Garrett or a Bosup brother,
- 27:32Speaker 2: or you know some big dude like a like a
- 27:35Speaker 2: Crosby could lookan Paul like I can't imagine no matter
- 27:38Speaker 2: how skilledy is boxing, I feel like all those guys
- 27:41Speaker 2: would whoop his ass.
- 27:42Speaker 1: Am I wrong.
- 27:43Speaker 5: Look, I'm not going to say this because I've been
- 27:45Speaker 5: I've been around this sport, and I've been around some
- 27:47Speaker 5: of the best and train and sparred some of the
- 27:49Speaker 5: best fighters in the world. You don't just walk off
- 27:52Speaker 5: field to just become a big, a good boxer because
- 27:55Speaker 5: you're stronger. Those muscles and things do not translate into
- 28:00Speaker 5: into boxing or fighting in general. It don't. But that
- 28:03Speaker 5: being said, Logan didn't knock out Floyd Mayweather, who's one
- 28:06Speaker 5: hundred and sixty pounds, right, and so if you can't
- 28:09Speaker 5: knock out Floyd Mayweather, you're probably not going to knock
- 28:12Speaker 5: out a guy that's two hundred and fifty pounds of
- 28:14Speaker 5: all muscle. I just don't see it. And that, don't
- 28:16Speaker 5: get me wrong with Floyd's is the greatest of all
- 28:18Speaker 5: time of one of But again, you didn't knock him out,
- 28:22Speaker 5: and so I think that's that's where that's where you
- 28:24Speaker 5: kind of got to draw the line. If you can't
- 28:26Speaker 5: knock him out, how are going to knock out a
- 28:27Speaker 5: guy like.
- 28:27Speaker 2: Miles Garrett Sean Merriman here on Coveno on rich At
- 28:30Speaker 2: Sean Merriman lights out. You know every time I see
- 28:33Speaker 2: you and I go in to give you a little
- 28:35Speaker 2: handshake of a hug. You're built like a rock and
- 28:37Speaker 2: I know you're you spar your fight.
- 28:39Speaker 1: Guy. What's your thoughts? Can you do you think you
- 28:42Speaker 1: could take out Logan Paul?
- 28:43Speaker 5: First of all, I don't. I don't hit children. That's
- 28:47Speaker 5: one you should know.
- 28:50Speaker 1: I would.
- 28:51Speaker 5: I think I'm taking myself out of the mix because one,
- 28:54Speaker 5: I'm forty one and I actually have years of experience
- 28:57Speaker 5: in training and being in there, not saying that I'm
- 28:59Speaker 5: a fighter at all, but I've been in there with
- 29:01Speaker 5: like some real real dogs. So I want to take
- 29:03Speaker 5: myself off. Plus, I don't think that Logan would even
- 29:06Speaker 5: think about going down that pass. I think that better.
- 29:09Speaker 5: I think the better fight would be Le'Veon. I think
- 29:11Speaker 5: that Le'Veon has been training. He is a he is
- 29:15Speaker 5: a notable NFL player, He has a good background. He
- 29:18Speaker 5: has a big fan based, big follow on social media.
- 29:20Speaker 5: It makes sense, It makes sense for for Le'Veon to
- 29:23Speaker 5: do the deal. But I don't. I just I see
- 29:26Speaker 5: the roadblocks that Logan is putting up now right practice
- 29:29Speaker 5: million dollars in the scrow, and it got to be
- 29:31Speaker 5: this way, And no judge, I might just say you
- 29:33Speaker 5: don't want to do it, right, I can say you
- 29:35Speaker 5: don't want to do it.
- 29:35Speaker 2: So that's what I see now when you take out
- 29:38Speaker 2: tackling and you know what, all the toughness that goes
- 29:41Speaker 2: into playing NFL football and you make it flag football,
- 29:43Speaker 2: which is more maybe skill based, when you take out,
- 29:46Speaker 2: like I said, a lot of layers of the game.
- 29:48Speaker 2: Could Logan Paul compete in flag football from what you've seen?
- 29:51Speaker 2: You think, is it gonna be a different game? Are
- 29:52Speaker 2: we going to be shocked at who's good at it?
- 29:55Speaker 3: No?
- 29:55Speaker 5: I think that. I think that Logan is a great athlete.
- 29:57Speaker 5: I think he's gonna look good on the football field.
- 29:59Speaker 5: But so well a lot of people. When you don't
- 30:01Speaker 5: get hit, right, That's why I don't pay attention too much.
- 30:06Speaker 5: Like you know, when when the OTA is starting football
- 30:08Speaker 5: and minie camp and they run around and hell mess
- 30:10Speaker 5: and jerseys. Everybody look good. You got your your sleeves
- 30:13Speaker 5: rolled up and all you on your biceps. You guys
- 30:15Speaker 5: are running around there fast, and then you put the
- 30:17Speaker 5: pads on, and then then those strong guys go away. Now,
- 30:20Speaker 5: so you know, and and and that's what I think
- 30:22Speaker 5: Logan's gonna do. He's gonna look great. I'm sure he
- 30:24Speaker 5: is an athlete. He's gonna have some fun out there,
- 30:27Speaker 5: but he would never dare step on a football field,
- 30:29Speaker 5: not if he value his life.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Yeah, let me ask you, Sean Merriman here on cn
- 30:34Speaker 2: R NFL off season. I know you're going to keep
- 30:37Speaker 2: your ear to the fight game and the NFL. You're
- 30:39Speaker 2: involved in everything. Any intriguing stories?
- 30:42Speaker 3: What what? What? Uh?
- 30:43Speaker 2: What gets you interested? What what happens with Fernando men those?
- 30:46Speaker 2: Are you curious? What happens with Stefan Diggs or Kyler Murray?
- 30:49Speaker 3: Like?
- 30:49Speaker 1: What are you thinking?
- 30:51Speaker 5: Yeah? I mean, you know, for one, Stephan, I think
- 30:54Speaker 5: it was time right And I think I think he
- 30:57Speaker 5: did himself justice because you know, obviously star as a
- 31:00Speaker 5: former forma terp like myself. I think Steph did himself
- 31:04Speaker 5: adjustice this year by stepping up as a leader, more
- 31:07Speaker 5: mature answering the media. I think he did himself a
- 31:10Speaker 5: huge favor and he's going to have another opportunity somewhere else.
- 31:14Speaker 5: Kyler Murray Man, I wasn't I wasn't shocked at all.
- 31:17Speaker 5: In fact, I thought it was they took too long
- 31:20Speaker 5: to move on from him. To be honest, I thought
- 31:21Speaker 5: that was gonna happen at least a year ago, maybe
- 31:24Speaker 5: maybe two, you know, when when all the news came
- 31:27Speaker 5: out about him, you know, not really being locked into
- 31:29Speaker 5: playing football. I thought that when that happened. Typically, you
- 31:33Speaker 5: guys know, when you start hearing rumblings, it's coming from
- 31:36Speaker 5: somewhere in the organization, somewhere in the front office that's there.
- 31:39Speaker 5: That's their message to tell you that you're on the
- 31:41Speaker 5: way out the door. So they started playing these little
- 31:43Speaker 5: things that you know, you don't care much about football
- 31:46Speaker 5: and you're not a great leader. Those things happen when
- 31:50Speaker 5: a guy is on the way out the door. So
- 31:51Speaker 5: I thought it was gonna happen two years ago.
- 31:53Speaker 2: Sean, would you be shocked if Kyler Murray out of
- 31:56Speaker 2: nowhere was like, I'm going to go try baseball, because
- 31:58Speaker 2: if you remember, he had that option.
- 32:00Speaker 5: I think more shocked because he's making so much money
- 32:03Speaker 5: in football and I don't think he's gonna I don't
- 32:07Speaker 5: think he can make that same amount of money in baseball.
- 32:09Speaker 5: Do I think he can play it still? Absolutely, he
- 32:11Speaker 5: can make a team, but the money is not going
- 32:13Speaker 5: to be there, so it'd be hard to take a
- 32:16Speaker 5: pay cut where you know another big payd a is
- 32:18Speaker 5: coming right in the corner.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Sean, I know again, fight game football, This guy, you know,
- 32:22Speaker 2: with Cavino and Rich, big fans of shown Maryman. He
- 32:24Speaker 2: knows it all and some of these gimmicky fights that
- 32:27Speaker 2: are coming up. What do you think about Tyson sparring
- 32:30Speaker 2: Floyd Mayweather Junior?
- 32:31Speaker 1: Is as is that?
- 32:32Speaker 2: Are we gonna see anything? Or is that just gonna
- 32:33Speaker 2: be too you know, legends playing patty Cake.
- 32:36Speaker 5: I said ten years ago, I will watch Tyson's fight
- 32:38Speaker 5: until he's sixty.
- 32:40Speaker 1: I would I watched I'm so intriguing to me, se right.
- 32:45Speaker 5: And I said, and he guess what, He's approached his sixty,
- 32:47Speaker 5: So this will be his last fight that I'm gonna
- 32:49Speaker 5: watch Mike Tyson ever period. But but but I'll say
- 32:53Speaker 5: I'll say this, I think people need to separate entertainment
- 32:57Speaker 5: and fighting, right, and if if there's something on Netflix
- 33:01Speaker 5: and we all have subscribers to anyway, if it's something
- 33:04Speaker 5: is accessible and then not it's not a big pay
- 33:06Speaker 5: per view model. People are gonna watch, you know, every
- 33:09Speaker 5: every fight people say I'm not I'm not gonna watch
- 33:11Speaker 5: Jake Paul and it's it's it takes as this is
- 33:14Speaker 5: not good and then what happens over fifty million people
- 33:16Speaker 5: wants to fight. Yeah, And so with that being said,
- 33:19Speaker 5: man is people just need to separate entertainment and fighting.
- 33:23Speaker 5: And most people will pay for entertainment.
- 33:25Speaker 4: That's just what it is.
- 33:27Speaker 2: One last question. We'll let you get on with your weekend.
- 33:29Speaker 2: Hopefully you have a good weekend plan. Sean, If if
- 33:31Speaker 2: Logan Paul did say yo, Sean Merriman, you're a bee
- 33:35Speaker 2: and he calls you out or something like that, would
- 33:37Speaker 2: you would you accept?
- 33:39Speaker 5: I would have laughed because I know it's a joke.
- 33:41Speaker 5: I mean, I honestly would. I wouldn't take it seriously
- 33:45Speaker 5: and I'll just take that he's you know, maybe once
- 33:47Speaker 5: more subscribers on a podcast or you know, I wouldn't
- 33:51Speaker 5: take it serious because that's not what he wants. But
- 33:54Speaker 5: if I definitely think that, I think the le'veyon he
- 33:56Speaker 5: should take that fight with leveyon I think that would
- 33:58Speaker 5: be a great fight.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Nice well, listen in, have good weekend. Thanks for the time.

- 35:46Speaker 2: Oh Tani, lighten up the WBC with a grand salami.
- 35:51Speaker 1: That's you want now? Oh tonys it up.
- 35:55Speaker 5: It is co.

- 36:18Speaker 2: Steven Nelson on the call that was a damn good
- 36:20Speaker 2: call our tirect play of the day. For over forty years,

- 36:34Speaker 1: Buying should be. And between that, Otani grand Slam and
- 36:39Speaker 1: Juan Soto playing like the Mets are hoping he plays
- 36:42Speaker 1: in a month from now, the World Baseball Classic is
- 36:46Speaker 1: just showing you how fun baseball baseball could be. And
- 36:48Speaker 1: it makes me wonder we like lame fans here in
- 36:51Speaker 1: the US. I know it's the World Baseball Classic, but
- 36:53Speaker 1: when you watch again the fans in the UH, is
- 36:57Speaker 1: that the Tokyo dum Yes, sir fans in the Dominican Republic.
- 37:03Speaker 1: I mean, we need to bring it a little more.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Team USA USA.
- 37:06Speaker 2: When we're a Dodgers game, in Mets game, any game,
- 37:09Speaker 2: Yankees game, can we bring it dB? I know, I
- 37:12Speaker 2: know it's like a casual wins that you might be
- 37:13Speaker 2: at at the stadium, but it makes me think.
- 37:16Speaker 8: That maybe the finals should be played in Japan, right,
- 37:20Speaker 8: because they're the three time winners, right, they've they've won
- 37:22Speaker 8: the event more than anybody. But it's never gonna happen.
- 37:25Speaker 8: Major League Baseball would never allow that to happen. But
- 37:28Speaker 8: to see that scene, at least to have the sounds
- 37:30Speaker 8: of it, was pretty amazing.
- 37:31Speaker 2: Well, Aaron Judge has to deliver the same way Juan
- 37:35Speaker 2: Soto's delivering and the same way that Otani delivering her
- 37:40Speaker 2: Grand Slam. And I'll be honest, like Otani other than
- 37:43Speaker 2: that little misstep with his interpreter, some say take in
- 37:48Speaker 2: the fall no other than his little misstep, other than
- 37:50Speaker 2: the little misstep of the interpreter and the gambling, Like,
- 37:53Speaker 2: has Odani done anything wrong? The guy's winning MVPs, he's
- 37:57Speaker 2: winning back to back World Series now show Tony has
- 38:02Speaker 2: just been.
- 38:02Speaker 8: Great for baseball, the show of respect with always the
- 38:05Speaker 8: tip of the cap. I love the nod or to
- 38:07Speaker 8: the opposing skipper. I think it was I think it
- 38:10Speaker 8: was Stephen Vote of the Guardians, who like wasn't paying
- 38:13Speaker 8: attention at one time and ye.
- 38:17Speaker 4: Forgot.
- 38:18Speaker 1: He's great. He's just so good for baseball.
- 38:20Speaker 2: But if you're not watching the Baseball Classic World Baseball
- 38:23Speaker 2: Classic tonight.
- 38:24Speaker 1: I don't know what else is on, Danny G.
- 38:26Speaker 2: I know we're gonna go over weekend hobnob and what
- 38:28Speaker 2: to watch? But what what would you rather have on
- 38:31Speaker 2: in the background? Eight pm Eastern Team USA? So right
- 38:35Speaker 2: after we get out of here, go home throwing the
- 38:38Speaker 2: WBC of United States versus Brazil.
- 38:40Speaker 4: It's all about Team USA tonight.
- 38:43Speaker 2: Tam USA's roster is fantastic and school ball schemes McClain
- 38:49Speaker 2: and uh, who's pitched like.
- 38:50Speaker 4: An All Star game?
- 38:52Speaker 1: Was pitching tonight?
- 38:52Speaker 5: Again?
- 38:52Speaker 1: Who's on the hill?
- 38:54Speaker 2: I think you said it before or logan web logan
- 38:57Speaker 2: web logan web so he'll he'll get the than nod tonight.
- 39:01Speaker 2: But WBC gets me pumped up. And I just wonder
- 39:04Speaker 2: if I made the analogy the other day that it's
- 39:07Speaker 2: sort of like a little appetizer to the regular baseball season.
- 39:11Speaker 2: I hope this isn't when you get a good appetizer
- 39:13Speaker 2: and then the entree stinks because baseball starts in a month.
- 39:17Speaker 2: And if you could carry over this excitement, I think baseball.
- 39:19Speaker 2: Baseball's hot right now, and we know what's going to
- 39:21Speaker 2: happen after the season. Players, union, owners, everything, you might
- 39:26Speaker 2: have a little hiccup with baseball. So baseball Baseball is
- 39:30Speaker 2: one year now to really bring it to and hope
- 39:32Speaker 2: that nothing stops it.
- 39:34Speaker 8: There's I think there's recently been a trend and I
- 39:37Speaker 8: think people have realized it that not everything is for them.
- 39:41Speaker 8: That okay, I understand that this is being brought to
- 39:44Speaker 8: a different audience.
- 39:45Speaker 4: Maybe it's not for me. Maybe most recently the Bad
- 39:48Speaker 4: Money halftime Show.
- 39:49Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 39:49Speaker 8: Now, the World Baseball Classic is another situation where it's
- 39:53Speaker 8: not that it's not for them. I think it's in
- 39:56Speaker 8: another category where you know, it doesn't have to be
- 39:59Speaker 8: the greatest thing ever, but if it's entertaining, what's the
- 40:03Speaker 8: harm in it? If it gets you interested in baseball,
- 40:06Speaker 8: if it gets you to sit on the couch to
- 40:08Speaker 8: watch a game and to see all of your favorite
- 40:10Speaker 8: players happen to be maybe on one team or at
- 40:12Speaker 8: least a bunch of them, Like there's there's good and
- 40:14Speaker 8: like not everything has to be the best of the
- 40:16Speaker 8: best to be able to tune in for something. And
- 40:18Speaker 8: I think that this is a good good. You know,
- 40:21Speaker 8: it's a it's a really good event that gets you excited.
- 40:24Speaker 8: There is excitement with it and it's not a foregone
- 40:28Speaker 8: conclusion that the United States is gonna win, So that
- 40:30Speaker 8: even adds it, kind of like we saw with the
- 40:32Speaker 8: men's hockey team, It even adds more excitement to it.
- 40:34Speaker 1: I'm glad you brought that up.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Kevino and I often talk about when we were growing
- 40:38Speaker 2: up in the eighties or nineties, there was something called monoculture.
- 40:42Speaker 2: We've mentioned this before, the monoculture meaning we all know
- 40:46Speaker 2: the same things the same reason. We all know the
- 40:48Speaker 2: same episodes of different strokes or growing pains or oh,
- 40:51Speaker 2: every Saturday morning, you know you watch Saved by the
- 40:53Speaker 2: Bell and then wrestling and then American Gladiators, and you
- 40:56Speaker 2: know your mom made pancakes Sunday morning and you went
- 40:59Speaker 2: to a little league practice.
- 41:00Speaker 1: We were all doing relatively the same thing.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Now, with social media and a million things streaming and
- 41:06Speaker 2: every network's got a streamer, we're all sort of watching
- 41:10Speaker 2: different things. So when something breaks through and it is monoculture,
- 41:14Speaker 2: like a Game of Thrones finale, where you know most
- 41:15Speaker 2: people are watching, Sure, we got to lean into these things.
- 41:18Speaker 2: And I'm not a hockey guy, but you damn well
- 41:20Speaker 2: know that Sunday morning, I turned on USA versus Canada
- 41:25Speaker 2: because it's a moment and I feel like we, uh,
- 41:28Speaker 2: we're neglecting these big moments and we we should all
- 41:31Speaker 2: be joining in and watching tonight.
- 41:32Speaker 1: What else are you doing unless you got a hot date?
- 41:36Speaker 1: I think you should be turning it on.
- 41:37Speaker 7: I will say that the RedHawks of Miami of Ohio
- 41:40Speaker 7: are what thirty and oh thirty one and oh this
- 41:43Speaker 7: is our last regular season game. They're on the road
- 41:45Speaker 7: at Ohio and a lot of people will be watching
- 41:47Speaker 7: on ESPN to two to see if they can finish
- 41:48Speaker 7: the regular season undefeated.
- 41:50Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I know WBC gets just to tap high.
- 41:59Speaker 1: I'd rather watch. I know, Daniel Tiger, I know you're
- 42:01Speaker 1: gonna roll your eyes at me. If I rather watch truthfully.
- 42:05Speaker 2: Anything fair, fair, I'd rather just stare at the wall.
- 42:09Speaker 2: All right, listen, coming up, we're gonna play brainwave. I
- 42:12Speaker 2: don't know if Sam's gonna be on my brain wave. Well,
- 42:14Speaker 2: we'll get a contested at eight, seven, seven, nine nine
- 42:17Speaker 2: on Fox. Right now, let's go
