Steve Cavino
Searching FSR. Let's have a kick ass Thursday. Thursday's the new Friday. The weekend begins. We have lots to get to today. Every Thursday, old school win 50 hits. So we throw it back. We rewind, we reminisce, we get you involved. 87799 on Fox. Let's just say we're gonna talk sex. Oh. Or something like that. We're gonna celebrate somebody when 50 hits on the clock. So stay tuned.
Monsi Balanius
And it's perfect that we have monsieur here for a good female perspective because there's a h floating around social media today and it has to do with who's the most eligible bachelor that's going to be at Jeff Bezos wedding.
Isaac
Okay.
Monsi Balanius
Two guys that are now apparently, you know, best bros. They're hanging on water taxis in Venice already. One's an athlete, one's an actor, and they're brought it up. And it's a funny hypothetical.
Steve Cavino
All right. And of course we have to talk about being a father, being a parent. There's a story in sports that involves being a dad and what you expect from your kid. It also involves the NBA draft and we have to give our reaction on the NBA draft. Day one yesterday, Cooper Flagg is the man. We knew that. No surprise there. Day two today. But what were your immediate reactions? What were your thoughts? Did you tune in? Was it kind of boring? What were they wearing? Were you impressed by that? Did you say? Huh?
Monsi Balanius
Were you?
Steve Cavino
What? What's that? Well, any surprises, let us know. Here's the 7, 7, 9, 9 on 5.
Monsi Balanius
I got to ask you a question. If, if you want to have this conversation, do you want me to keep it real or you want me to lie?
Steve Cavino
Lie to me, Jerry.
Monsi Balanius
Lie to me, Jerry.
Steve Cavino
Keep it real.
Monsi Balanius
I didn't watch the NBA draft. I mean, Cooper flag was going number one.
Steve Cavino
Who sits there and watches it? It's just on.
Monsi Balanius
I watched it on. I watched the NFL draft, but I was busy doing things.
Steve Cavino
You could be busy doing things. Still have it on. Meaning, like, I had it on, but I was doing the scroll. I was on my phone, I was sliding around my kitchen floor.
Monsi Balanius
Didn't even get that from me.
Steve Cavino
I swept up a little bit, cleaned the counters off. I mean, it was just on.
Spot
Rich is making me feel like a loser because I watched the entire thing.
Steve Cavino
But you sit there. Honestly, Denny, do you sit there glued and watch the whole thing or you just have it on?
Spot
Like, the first five pics, I was glued to it. And then after that, it was on in the background.
Steve Cavino
No, that's fair. And then you see. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. Especially Danny being the resident Laker fan.
Monsi Balanius
I don't know. We had a buddy in town, we got a cup of coffee, caught up with an old friend. I went to the gym, got home, and my wife and I got dinner. Like, honestly, like, I was like, oh, yeah, let's start the NBA draft. But I think the fun of social media in 2025 is you don't feel like you miss anything.
Steve Cavino
And by the way, when Rich says, we caught up with an old friend, it wasn't like some guy named Ebenezer. It wasn't like Sam, the old guy. Not you, IO Sam. Just you have older.
Monsi Balanius
Like Sam the Butcher.
Steve Cavino
You have an old guy named.
Monsi Balanius
A young guy name.
Sam
Some call me an old man at heart.
Steve Cavino
You are. You are. You're the bee's knees.
Monsi Balanius
So don't pick up any wooden nickels.
Steve Cavino
Caught up with a friend we haven't seen in a minute. And yeah, we had a busy day, but still had the draft on when I got home. And today's day two of the draft. First thing I noticed, again, this seems to be a commonality in the NBA world. I felt like the excitement level wasn't that grand. And these are just observations. It's not nitpicking. It is what I felt like. I felt like it wasn't the excitement you get from the NFL. Not even close. Not even in the same ballpark. Wouldn't really be the arena. It would not even seem Arena Stadium. Yeah. And again, maybe that has to do with. Because the first pick was that obvious. Everybody knew Cooper Flag would be in Dallas. But then you make the other observation. It seemed like some players weren't that pumped to be on the team they were drafted.
Monsi Balanius
That. That's my one and only observation. Of course, we all knew Cooper Flag was going to go number one. And yeah, could that have given Nico. More time in Dallas. Dallas. Now all of a sudden, looks like they're right there again, right?
Steve Cavino
They're in the mix.
Spot
The fans at the Mavericks official draft party were still chanting to fire him.
Monsi Balanius
Poor guy. He's like, no, keep Nico. Keep Nico.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Monsi Balanius
The two guys that stuck out to me, South Carolina's Colin Murray Boyles, he gets drafted by the Raptors, and they pan to him and all you see is him mouth fudge. But he didn't say fudge.
Steve Cavino
Fuuu.
Monsi Balanius
And you're like, is that the excitement? Like, oh, man, the anxiety's over. Because he tried to sell it as. Yeah, man, it's like the anxiety was over. I just. I finally knew where I was gonna go. I think it was a fudge because now I have to go move to Canada. He's a Southern kid. South Carolina gotta move to Canada. Now.
Steve Cavino
You have to know you're on camera, right? So you have to of what you do and saying in that moment. So we saw a natural reaction there. I'm with Rich.
Monsi Balanius
I think the other reaction, Ace Bailey got drafted by.
Steve Cavino
There was no reaction.
Monsi Balanius
The Jazz. And he's like, I'm blessed. His reaction was like, I'm blessed. I guess I'll make millions there.
Steve Cavino
But you know what? He actually spoke out and said he's all. Apparently, he's all jazzed now. He's all jazzed up to play in Utah.
Spot
Leading up to the draft, he made it known he did not want to go to Utah.
Isaac
Yeah, that was not one of his preferred destinations.
Steve Cavino
Flipped the script on it and said the right things. Right afterward.
Isaac
The Raptors, before you move on from the call in Murray Boyles, they posted a pic. So the Toronto Raptors X account posted a picture of him smiling. And it says, see, guys? He's happy.
Steve Cavino
I read he's all jazzed. That's what I read.
Monsi Balanius
No, she's talking about the Raptor.
Steve Cavino
The Raptor.
Isaac
The one that's F. The F bomb when he got Jazz.
Rich Davis
But they're like, he's happy.
Monsi Balanius
But you know what, though?
Steve Cavino
They should be happy. Yeah, that's just how it is. Like, you made it into the NBA. You're the 0.1% of the chosen people that were good enough to get this far. You're living every kid's dream. Yeah, you might not want to play on that team, but guess what? There's so many ways you're getting your feet wet. You're getting the experience in the NBA to earn that big contract. And if you're really the man, turn that franchise around like a, like a Giannis. Did you know you think he wanted to play in Milwaukee?
Monsi Balanius
I don't know.
Steve Cavino
But he made it his home and he made the best of it. If you're really the guy, you, you could change that franchise. So to me, I don't give a diddly squat if you're happy or not.
Monsi Balanius
You should be.
Steve Cavino
You should be thrilled that you just change your family stars, no matter where you end up.
Monsi Balanius
Well, no matter where you play in the NBA, the money is huge for first round picks and guys that end up signing deals, right, dude?
Steve Cavino
Also, less pressure if you end up on a weak ass team. That's where you get your feet wet, man. That's where you learn the ropes. That's where you acclimate to the NBA.
Monsi Balanius
I'm glad you said that because there's a couple layers here. Unless you're a Cooper flag, who you could feel will likely make an impact right away, if you are a top 10 pick, pick 8, 9 or 10, do you feel less pressure if you end up in like, you know, playing for the Hornets?
Steve Cavino
Absolutely.
Monsi Balanius
Or do you want to play for the Knicks, the Lakers, the Celtics? Like, do you rather drop and try to find your way onto a premier team or is there something to be said about. Hey, listen, man, I need the pressure.
Steve Cavino
Something to be said about you and I learning to talk radio ropes in the bubble of Sirius xm. It's a big gigantic bubble, but it's still a bubble in the grand scheme of things. So that when we come here to Fox Sports Radio, people are like, bam. They're ready. There was less pressure there. These guys get to learn the game some much faster game, and again, acclimate, like I said, and work their way up to that bigger contract, that bigger city, that bigger platform, whatever the case may be.
Spot
Also, you want time on the floor, you want to be in the lineup, you want to be in the game. Did Dalton connect? Get to play any minutes in the playoffs?
Steve Cavino
Dude, you get your reps, right? I mean, you get your reps. Now.
Monsi Balanius
If Dalton connects on another team, he's getting all the minutes, but he's not on the Lakers. So there's so many angles and ways to look at this. You're right, Kavino. It's a good way to get your feet wet. You could make a difference in a franchise with very little expectation and playing time. You know, less eyes on you, you get more playing time. But I'm just saying, I point this out a lot, Cavino. During the NFL draft, there's A big difference between getting drafted and finding out, all right, I'm going to live in Southern California and play for the Rams. I'm going to live in Jersey or New York and play for the Giants or Jets versus. Versus. I'm moving to Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Steve Cavino
So what? You're getting paid nicely and you're. Again, you're one of the chosen ones. Everybody makes sacrifices for their career.
Monsi Balanius
Don't act like there's a difference. There's.
Steve Cavino
Career isn't the NBA. There is a difference, but how many people in our industry. Look, every industry, please chime in and represent, but in our industry, if you really want to make it, you got to be willing to sacrifice and move somewhere else in small markets. So you think I'm going to feel sorry for the guy who's in the NBA? Not a chance.
Monsi Balanius
I'm not saying feel bad for him, but you have to acknowledge.
Steve Cavino
No, they should be grateful. They should like it. That's just the luck of the draw. That's why it's a draft and it's temporary. They'll end up somewhere else if they're good enough.
Monsi Balanius
I know what you're saying. I'm just saying you're allowed to have that emotion.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, but you don't let it show. And we saw it. We saw visible disappointment last night. Whether they want to spin it or not, there's the truth and the spin. The truth is we saw with our own eyes disappointment. It wasn't. There was an excitement. Was there excitement? We would have been able to see it. We saw maybe relief. You could try to spin that. But we got to spin like, no, they're all happy. I don't know about that, but they should be happy.
Monsi Balanius
You do look like an entitled little a hole. And I'm not. I'm not calling out anyone in particular, but the sentiment of looking disappointed being drafted is like the ultimate. Like, are you kidding me? Like, are you out of your effing mind? Like, oh, man, you're in the NBA. But to. To say that you don't understand a little bit.
Steve Cavino
Yes, you don't, because there's pros and cons, all right? You may end up in a bigger city where the sun's shining brighter, but you get no playing time. Where do you get to shine? I know, but this guy may get to shine on a smaller market team. That's more important. So there's pros and cons, and they're just looking at it glass half empty.
Monsi Balanius
There are guys that get drafted in the NFL and the NBA where Everything lines up where it's like, he's a Florida kid. He was a Gator in college, and now he's playing for the Buccaneers. And you're like, yo, his family, his life, his college, everything. He's in the same state.
Steve Cavino
And to those people, that doesn't always pan out.
Monsi Balanius
No, but what I'm saying is that's a scenario where it's like, oh, my God, amazing. Or you live in the south, you went to Georgia in college, and now you're playing for the Falcons or the Saints or the, you know, Panthers. You're there, you're taking some of these kids and saying, all right, young man, you grew up in a small town in South Carolina. Yeah. Now you're going to Utah or Toronto or, you know, across the country. Agreed. Privileged and blessed. It's not awesome, necessarily.
Steve Cavino
Again, depending on how you look at it. Know what's awesome, playing what's awesome, growing what's awesome, putting up great numbers so you can get that bigger contract to a bigger city. Like, what's so awesome about playing on a major market team? And you're not playing at all.
Monsi Balanius
I hear you.
Steve Cavino
Right. So there's just pros and cons, depending on how you look at it. Like, you're basing it on lifestyle and location and summer fun.
Monsi Balanius
But you downplay the personal side of this. Like, there's a big difference if you're younger.
Steve Cavino
There is, but they're not at that level. They're just out of college.
Monsi Balanius
I get it.
Steve Cavino
I think they can make that sacrifice, making millions.
Monsi Balanius
You're blessed. I'm saying put aside the fact that, yes, we all agree they're blessed and you look like a complete weenie if you complain about being drafted into the pros. But there is a big difference between, Yo, Kavino, you're a young guy in the NFL with the 23rd pick. So and so goes to the Dolphins. You're like, oh, versus Minnesota.
Steve Cavino
Every time we saw someone drafted in the NFL, for example, you saw everyone, no matter what, it was proud to put on that hat. Because they made it, dude. They made it.
Spot
Feels. Feels a little bit different in that league.
Monsi Balanius
A little bit.
Spot
The draft, the NBA players feel just a little more entitled. The young players do.
Steve Cavino
And don't blame us for making the observation. It's an obvious one. It's an obvious survation. We're just calling it as we see. It's not picking on anybody.
Monsi Balanius
Everyone's throw, hugging Roger Goodell, everyone's all smiles, put on the hat. Post interviews, like, I'm bringing My best. And I'm going to give it to cowboy nation, you know, like the NBA, just a different vibe.
Isaac
Also, like, half of these guys made a ton of money in Nil already and you're mad or you're annoyed. It's hard like those, you know, I get it, Ace Bailey, you don't want to be there.
Steve Cavino
But you are on the smallest of levels though, monsieur. Right? When your aunt Sharon bought you a Christmas gift and it was a bunny costume, didn't you fake it a little bit? Like, hey, thanks, Aunt Sharon. Oh, yeah, thank you so much. Thanks. I love it.
Sam
Thanks.
Spot
I love it.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, absolutely.
Monsi Balanius
Huckle Frank. You gotta be a globe.
Steve Cavino
You gotta fake the funk on a nasty dunk. You're on tv, they're paying you money, they believe in you, they drafted you. Show a little bit of what, what's the word? Just be grateful.
Isaac
Yeah.
Monsi Balanius
Grace, humanity.
Steve Cavino
That's all we're saying. When is that out of style? You're going to pout like a big baby. Because that's what we saw. It wasn't the most drastic thing in the world, but it was obvious. That's why it went viral. That's what everybody sort of saw. So we'd be lying to say that we didn't notice it. But I noticed it.
Monsi Balanius
Can you at least admit though that while, yes, you gotta fake the funk, you gotta be grateful, some people do get a little luckier than others. Like, let's look at your Yankees. Anthony Volpe grew up a Yankees fan. Derek Jeters is hero, and now he's the shortstop of the Yankees. Like some people's story is just lines.
Steve Cavino
Up with the stars. He manifested a little harder.
Monsi Balanius
I don't know, but I'm saying, like, there's guys that absolutely. I'll give you great.
Steve Cavino
You know what Anthony Volpe has too? A ton of pressure on the guy.
Monsi Balanius
No, I know, but where, you know.
Steve Cavino
People are like, yeah, he's not cut out for New York. Let's just face it, he's not the guy. He's no Derek Jeter. If he was playing in Colorado, he'd be lighting it up. Everyone be kissing his ass. You know what I mean? Like, so there's, there's pros and cons. He's learning as we go on the biggest in the biggest city possible. There's a lot of pressure on Volpe.
Monsi Balanius
Who'S Danny G's favorite football quarterback. He loves to talk about every day.
Steve Cavino
Danny G, favorite quarterback that he loves.
Monsi Balanius
To talk about every day, where I.
Spot
Put a four minute timer on You.
Steve Cavino
Aaron Rodgers.
Spot
He's being sarcastic now.
Monsi Balanius
Aaron Rodgers, his storybook was California kid, grew up idolizing Joe Montana, went to Cal Niners, had the top pick. That storyline in his mind would have been like, and now I'm a Niner. Does not work out that way. Goes to Wisconsin, has to sit behind Aaron Rodgers, find Brett Favreau, finds his way and everything. But I'm just saying, like, some people's story is a hell of a lot sweeter than others.
Steve Cavino
Some. We're gonna talk about a few of them later on today. One of them is somebody's birthday, in fact, today. And there's another story, too. We'll take your phone calls on this. Not everybody, but there was some sense of lack of gratitude. Oh, another observation. Was it Trey Johnson? Was it Trey Johnson? Danny G. Number six to the Wizards.
Spot
Number six to the Wizards. We haven't seen this since the other Trey. Trey Young wore the. Had the Angus.
Steve Cavino
Angus Young.
Spot
Young look. Yeah. It looked like he was about to go on tour.
Steve Cavino
A lot of people think it's cool when Angus Young does it. He's the oldest schoolboy I've ever seen. Angus Young's 180 years old wearing a schoolboy outfit from AC DC what's the deal? I get it. Trends change, you know? Don't want to sound like the old guy, but the whole little schoolboy shorts with the suit, like, what is that? Come on, bro.
Monsi Balanius
Turn you on.
Spot
No, they said business from the waist above and AC DC Below the belt.
Monsi Balanius
Hey, listen. Yeah, listen. Some men. Some men like the school girl outfit. Monsie, do you like the school boy outfit?
Isaac
Not as much. I prefer the school girl outfit.
Monsi Balanius
Okay. Yeah, it's a little sexier.
Steve Cavino
He actually did look excited, so I gotta give him the pass. But I have to say, what the hell is he wearing? Even though when we look back to the 90s drafts, you see all these oversized suits and everything. You know, like, it's always funny. But that was absurd.
Spot
I got to throw in one quick thing, too, because you guys were using the word gratitude. You weren't tuned in at the very end of the first round. But the Brooklyn Nets grabbed Danny Wolfe, and he and his family, especially his brother, were sobbing. And it made. Did you see that? And it made a lot of the analysts on the set cry. It was a great moment.
Steve Cavino
But that's. That's the contrast, though, right? Like, that's what you want. Like, man, look how much it means to them. That just changed their whole life. His dream came true. Look at his family. How Proud they are. That's what you want. You made it, dude. You made it. So when you sit there, ho hum, pouting as a regular Joe, how could you not make the observation of what's that about? I was pointing at my TV like Leo DiCaprio, like, what's he doing? Why is he not smiling?
Spot
This guy A little bit of what a difference in having to go the long route. Like his dad said, the odds have always been against him. He's always had a chip on because he wasn't supposed to make it this far. And he sat there through the entire first round. A lot of the supposed experts had him going halfway through the first round and he waited all the way to the bottom.
Steve Cavino
His face went right into his hands, covering up the tears. Crying. Yeah. A special moment. That's what it should be for everybody, regardless of the city. You made it, dude.
Monsi Balanius
I mean, it's a. It's a big moment. I also thought it was pretty wild when our very own Colin Cowherd got drafted by the Memphis. By the Memphis Grizzlies. Malika Andrews made the big announcement.
Steve Cavino
So the Portland Trailblazers select Colin Coward here. This is a young man with the.
Isaac
Ultimate bet on yourself story.
Monsi Balanius
Colin Schaller.
Spot
Then he was traded to Memphis.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, then he was traded to Memphis.
Steve Cavino
Colin, by the way, he leaned into that, as he should. That was hilarious. The kid's last name was Coward? Yes, that's the kid's last name.
Sam
Unfortunate spelling of that last name.
Monsi Balanius
Cedric Coward.
Sam
Why wouldn't you change? Not Coward.
Monsi Balanius
Coward.
Isaac
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Cedric Coward.
Sam
Maybe he's so cool and confident. He's like, I don't care if my name's, you know, but or, you know something.
Steve Cavino
General Booty.
Monsi Balanius
General Booty.
Steve Cavino
Yeah. I made it. I made it. Who sings that other song? I look up to the sky and now the world is mine.
Monsi Balanius
How about this one? Fall Out Boy.
Steve Cavino
I don't like Fall Out Boy. Just kidding. I always say I'm on the ones and twos.
Monsi Balanius
What did Pete Wentz ever do to you?
Steve Cavino
I like Pete Wentz.
Monsi Balanius
And by this is not even Fall Out Boy. It's Panic at the disco.
Steve Cavino
You're a dunce. That is Danny on the phones at 87799 on Fox. We got Monty Balanius with the Update in about 9 minutes. Spots on the videos. Remember, we're streaming on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. And you can see all our clips at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
I'm Steve Cavino, the all Valley karate champion. And that's Rich Davis.
Monsi Balanius
You know, I was just looking at something that I thought was awesome for Major League Baseball. We are exactly at the midway point for some teams, right? So a lot of teams have played 81 games of 162. And would you believe that after 81 games the Mets and the Phillies are dental, to quote my cousin Vinnie, 47 and 34. They're tied for first place after 81 games, which is great for baseball because every division's tight. Your Yankees are a half a game. Tampa, Detroit's the only team, and Houston, they got some pretty good leads, but every division's pretty tight. The Dodgers haven't got cold yet and you know they will at some point.
Spot
First team to get to 50 wins in the NL yesterday, they haven't got cold yet.
Monsi Balanius
That'll happen at some point. The best always go through something.
Steve Cavino
Max Freed, first pitcher to get to 10 wins. Let's go Yanks. But we're talking basketball right now. And I figured it out. Kevin Rudolph sings the song I was singing before, but I made it. It's a wonderful feeling. And we saw a bunch of people make it last night. They got drafted. And to be fair, I had an epiphany. I was in the bathroom and I was thinking about it.
Monsi Balanius
Oh, that's when you're peeing and you get come up with a deep thought.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, I said epiphany. Yeah, I had an epiphany.
Monsi Balanius
I was letting people know and I.
Steve Cavino
Realized, you know, as we over speculate and dissect the first round and the reactions, there's lots of things to keep in mind. I don't want to come down hard on young kids who might not know how to react in that situation. We don't know the level of nerves, that's one thing. And also the feeling of I'm not surprised, you know, maybe they're not as surprised as we feel they should be. Like, yeah, I agree.
Monsi Balanius
I've never been a 20 year old kid, right.
Steve Cavino
I'm just trying to be fair.
Monsi Balanius
I've never been a 20 year old that knows that if my name is called all of a sudden me and my family are multimillionaires. I don't know that feeling.
Steve Cavino
You never thought it out. Like one of my fantasies, like my dreams aren't as big as first round NBA, but there will be a day, Danny G. When I'm at a fight, you know, Chavez Jr. Jake, Paul Canelo, Crow. I'm there at the fight, yeah. And the camera's on me. What am I gonna do? Freeze in the moment or throw up a fist like I'm shadow boxing.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Spot
Underneath your. Your.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Spot
Radio screenshot. Yeah. It says Fox. Well, I guess Fox Radio tycoon. Radio tycoon.
Steve Cavino
And then. And then I do a little punch. Like. Yeah, because I thought it out already. You're gonna tell me these guys never thought out the moment.
Monsi Balanius
I hope they misspell your name. Steve Corvino.
Steve Cavino
Which would probably happen for sure. Right? My one sweet moment.
Spot
Rich leaning out of the frame.
Steve Cavino
But, you know, nerves are high. They had to have thought about it. But they're also very young. There's a lot in here. Maybe we're expecting too much.
Monsi Balanius
I know what you're saying. It's sort of like when someone wins a Grammy or an Academy Award. They're like, oh, my God, I didn't expect this. But, you know, you're a one of five people. You're not freaking prepared. Come on.
Steve Cavino
I'm always torn on this statement, you know, act like you've been there before. And I get that. But it also comes across sometimes that you're too cool for the room and sometimes you weren't there before, so why pretend?
Monsi Balanius
And in fact, in this scenario, I've been here. How much scenario? In this scenario, no one has been there before.
Steve Cavino
That's the point. Like, I want to see you act like you were never there before. And that's just our expectation. Are they probably thrilled. Yeah. But guess what? It didn't look it could.
Monsi Balanius
I tell you it's on us because we just want to see tears. We really want. I just want to see the emotion. Because in my mind, in my mind, I'm like, you just went from probably, you know, middle class family or whatever to you're signing an eight figure contract to start, and then if you're good, you'll sign a Max deal in a couple years. Like, in my mind, this should be the moment of your life. Show me something.
Steve Cavino
And you know what? Maybe it was. It probably was, but it didn't seem that way. And that's our observation. And it's not just our observation. If you follow social media. A lot of people were pointing this.
Spot
Out and there were a few exceptions. There were some players up there with time. Alligator tears.
Steve Cavino
John in Portland talking about the first round and what seemed to be a lack of excitement or gratitude or whatever. What's up, buddy?
I
Yo, what's going on, fellas? How y' all doing?
Steve Cavino
We're good, man.
Monsi Balanius
What's up?
Steve Cavino
Good.
I
So, yeah, I just wanted to weigh in on mostly. Mostly just the top 10 picks, but I mean, you can see it from everybody. But I feel like a lot of it for a lot of these guys is like Monty kind of said like they're already paid, like in with Nil deals. So, yeah, I feel like a lot of them kind of do come in with a little bit of diva mentality. You got some that are really close to their families and I think a lot of it is proximity to the family and prestige of the team and stuff. But I just feel like so much of it is. I mean, they're not worried about money. They know it's going to come. They want to go somewhere where it's like, you know, like a high profile city that's got like.
Monsi Balanius
I get what you're saying. They might, they might think to themselves, I already made 4mil on nil and my family's on the south and now I'm getting. I'm going to Portland.
Spot
Yeah, but college football players make a lot of Nil.
Monsi Balanius
I know, I'm saying, but it's also changing, Danny. In the past, it was always game changing and money changing. Now over the last couple of years, because of Nil, you are seeing stars that are being drafted that have already made their millions. Back in the day, no kid went into the draft.
Steve Cavino
A millionaire might have something to do with it. You know, we're seeing the, the aftermath.
Monsi Balanius
Indiana. Jesse, you're on with Covino and Rich. Hey, buddy boy.
Steve Cavino
Hey.
I
How's it going?
Steve Cavino
We're good, man.
Monsi Balanius
What's up?
I
So, yeah, I wanted to speak more on the being grateful part of things. I'm, you know, I'm 22 years old, wasn't in Chicago a few days ago. I'm allowed to go to MLB games, but I'm a, I'm a broadcaster here in Indiana. I cover high school sports and I am so grateful every time I get to put a headset on and call a game, regardless of if it's two schools in the middle of a cornfield or I'm in Indianapolis calling a game. It's the biggest game to me.
Steve Cavino
I love that. Because you're doing what you love, you're getting paid to do what you love. And sky's the limit. Right. So why are we not seeing that in the NBA? For some players. Danny Jasper. For some players. And thank you, man. Thanks for chiming in.
Spot
I think because they're crowned early on Cove, like you're in high school and you're already superstar in your own mind, right? Well, not just in your own mind, but you've been recruited that way. You're an A, I think, in your.
Steve Cavino
Own mind because you didn't do it in the NBA yet. I don't know.
Spot
True. But it. But it's. It's different right now. You know what I'm thinking, especially in.
Monsi Balanius
Basketball, thinking about it, Danny, I'm not changing my mind. But, you know, everyone's emotional. Everyone's emotional intelligence and how emotional they are is different.
Steve Cavino
Right?
Monsi Balanius
They're like me. I could watch a, you know, a coffee commercial and cry. I'll watch a rom com if I watched a video. I could go to a wedding of people I don't even know, and I'll be like, that's beautiful. Some people at their own wedding, like, yeah, it's great. Everyone's got different levels of emotions. Why we. You know, just because I might be an emotional buffoon.
Spot
That's true. Everybody has a different personality.
Steve Cavino
Does it take a lot of emotion to crack a smile? Come on, man.
Spot
Yeah, well, that. That part of it is. That's not on my preferred list of destinations. And back to what Rich was saying about that. If you took that into account for our business, say there was a radio draft, and you guys got drafted to Bristol, Connecticut, instead of Los Angeles, California, for Fox Sports.
Monsi Balanius
Yo, let me tell you something.
Steve Cavino
Am I 21 then, you know what? Then I take what I get.
Spot
Okay, but what if you were, like, 41?
Steve Cavino
I'm like, Ah, man.
Spot
But what if for years, people had been saying, you're the next Howard Stern?
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, I get what you're saying, Danny, because there was a time when we were. When we were at ESPN out here in la, a lot of the people we worked with then had to eventually move to Bristol. We had since left, and, you know, we're here reluctantly moved, but in my mind, I always thought, like, would I have wanted. Like, I would have, like, been. I would have went kicking and screaming like, no.
Steve Cavino
You're also a guy that earned your way in broadcast. I know, but these guys haven't proven anything as professionals yet. All right, so we still wish him all the best. These are just observations. We could be completely wrong, but this is what our eyes told us, our ojos. And there was another story that we're going to talk about and dissect and play for you next. It involves Dylan Harper and what he said about his dad at last night's draft. But first, we're so happy to see the rock star, the party star with the update Mancy.
Isaac
You guys, it was a lot of fun. I'm not gonna lie. But, you know, I. I don't. I. I didn't. I was such a groupie. By the end of it. I was. I was. I was such a groupie. With your fat heads.
Monsi Balanius
I have a video of you. Probably too many tequila shots. Let's not holding our fat heads dancing around the bikini.
Isaac
Oh, of course. No, I became a.
Steve Cavino
What it.
Isaac
What did Sam say?
Monsi Balanius
A ring.
Sam
Seeing our ring girl.
Isaac
Yeah, a ring girl with Lorena. No, I. Guys, it's a good thing I left when I did. Super fun. You guys have a great fan. Fan base. I was happy to be there. And I get a shirt from it, so I'll never forget it with the poker chips.
Steve Cavino
I'm honored seeing Monty wear our Vegas shirt.
Monsi Balanius
Absolutely.
Isaac
It's a great shirt. It's really soft. I'm into it. I'm into it. All right, we'll start in the NFL, fellas. Ravens former kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended for the first 10 games of the upcoming season for violating the league's personal conduct policy. The Buccaneers have agreed to multi year extensions with both head coach Todd Bowles and GM Jason Light. Caitlin CL is going to miss tonight's fever game against the Sparks because she deals as she is dealing with the left groin issue. That is not the issue that kept her out a couple of weeks ago. That was a quad issue. Now it's a left groin issue. In baseball, Clayton Kershaw pitched six innings, gave up two hits, one earned run and had five strikeouts, meaning he is three strikeouts away from 3,000 career strikeouts. Very exciting times. Shohei Ohtani also hit home run number 28 on the season. Right now, the Dodgers have officially defeated the Rockies 3 to 1. The Marlins have retaken the lead from the Giants. It's been back and forth. Fourth on this one. They're in San Francisco. Miami up 8 5, bottom of the sixth inning. The Mariners and the Twins have been on a rain delay since I started my shift. Back to you guys.
Monsi Balanius
Thank you.
Steve Cavino
Thank you.
Monsi Balanius
Now we are going to talk some more NBA draft and an observation. But also, I think we got to throw a really fun hypothetical at you guys before we get out of here today. And it has to do with Jeff Bezos's wedding.
Steve Cavino
Jeff Bezos is getting married. Whooping. Married.
Monsi Balanius
So we'll get to that. We'll go old school. A lot of fun today on Cavino and Richard. Hang tight. More next on Fox Sports Radio.

I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.
Sam
Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution.
Danny G
But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.
Monsi Balanius
Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense, and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacy Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild, and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us.
Steve Cavino
When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans. They're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the Challenges.
J
Of being a Black Founder.
Steve Cavino
Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me. And they're not going to describe someone who looks like you.
J
I created There Are no Girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all. So listen to. There are no girls on the Internet, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Monsi Balanius
Speaking of. Of milk, before we get to the play of the dead, I gotta ask Monsi something. If you were on a date or any of your girlfriends were on a date, and the guy ordered a glass of milk at dinner, is that, like, a red flag? I've heard women say, like, they've been on a date, and the guy's like, I'll have a glass of milk.
Isaac
Yeah, no, absolutely.
Monsi Balanius
5.
Steve Cavino
Dating a grade school boy.
Monsi Balanius
I'm just saying, like. Like there are still grownups that will.
Steve Cavino
Be like, I'll have a glass of milk.
Isaac
A glass of milk. Absolutely not.
Spot
Well, what if you had nuggets with ketchup or something at dinner?
Isaac
That's better.
Spot
You need milk.
Isaac
That's better.
Spot
But you need milk to wash your hands.
Isaac
No, absolutely not. No. They get the tenders with. With ketchup and then get, like, an old fashioned and make up for it.
Monsi Balanius
Ladies, if it was. Hold on, ladies.
Sam
What if it was a white Russian and it has a dairy in it? Or a Caucasian, as it's also called?
Steve Cavino
Okay, leave Rich out of this.
Monsi Balanius
I'm just curious, ladies. If it was like. If it was a super hot dude, ladies. And he's like, yeah, nice to meet you and everything. Hold on. I'll have a glass of milk. Whole milk. Like, what?
Isaac
I don't know if I could keep a poker face in that moment. Yeah, I think I would be like, I'm sorry. You're having a glass of milk.
Steve Cavino
Milk.
Monsi Balanius
Okay.
Isaac
Wow. All of a sudden, I don't feel well.
Steve Cavino
We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio, and it's time for our tire rack play of the day. The NBA draft kicked off the way we all knew it would. With the first Pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks select Cooper Flagg from Duke University.
Spot
Fire Nico. Fire Nico.
Monsi Balanius
It's a new era for the Mavs. Well, is it? I mean, they have a pretty stacked squad there in Dallas. That's courtesy of abc. And that's the Tyrac play of the day.
Steve Cavino
And look at the time. Let's go. There's a search.
Monsi Balanius
Yay.
Steve Cavino
What we gonna do right here is go back back in to time.
Spot
Throwing it back for a Thursday old school, when 50 hits at 50 after cr.
Monsi Balanius
Give you the time capsule topic, and we reminisce together.
Spot
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
He has 3465 hits, 260 career home runs, a 310 lifetime batting average, multiple World Series victories, Captain Clutch, he has a stellar. Do we call it an ass resume.
Monsi Balanius
What do we call it? I think you can call that, yeah.
Spot
And a big basket, wicker basket, where he used to collect cell phones.
Steve Cavino
And today is his birthday. Talking about Captain Clutch, Mr. November. Number two, Derek Jeter's birthday, every Friday, G time. And by the way, did you hear those stats? Number two, people still say he's overrated. It's like, that's the weakest argument ever. Like, beat it with that. Let me karate kick you in the chest. Anyone that thinks Derek Jeter is overrated, you don't understand. You weren't old enough. Something wrong with you. You were in a coma. You don't get baseball. You sucked at baseball and you're resentful. Your team sucked. Something was going on. If you think Derek Jeter was overrated, because he was not. The guy was a winner, period. Today's his birthday.
Monsi Balanius
As a Mets fan, hate to agree, but I never understood people that said Jeter was overrated. To me, I just hated the Yankees out of jealousy. In the 90s, I'm like, oh, man, another one. Aw.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Monsi Balanius
But yeah, Jeter, he did everything right.
Steve Cavino
The argument is he was part of a stack lineup. Yeah, he was.
Monsi Balanius
He was part of the stack, but.
Steve Cavino
He was the stack. He was the most clutch of them all. He was great.
Monsi Balanius
And on top of that, while he denies it, I always admired how he gave out gift baskets to all the random women he slept with.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, like allegedly.
Monsi Balanius
Like, yeah. I mean, there was the rumor and he has denied it, said it's ridiculous, but I feel like that's a rumor that should continue.
Steve Cavino
He who denied it, supplied it. But because It's Jeter's birthday, 51 years old.
Monsi Balanius
The Captain.
Steve Cavino
The Captain. What a career. It got us thinking of the greatest sex symbols of our time, male and female. Right? So we open it up to everybody. And the reason we bring that up, too is because, I mean, you may look at Jeter now and think he looks like a grown up Caillou, but.
Spot
In his day, in his prime.
Steve Cavino
In his prime, man, that guy was slaying it.
Monsi Balanius
He was scoring, let me tell you.
Steve Cavino
Talking about that baby cartoon Charlie Brown looking guy.
Sam
No one likes that Caillou.
Monsi Balanius
No one likes Caillou.
Steve Cavino
Caillou is a big crime, baby.
Monsi Balanius
I will say this. I'm about 10 years younger than Jeets, but growing up in my 20s, in the 2000s, when I tell you there wasn't a hot group of girls that didn't have one girl in the group that bragged about and she got with Jeter.
Steve Cavino
Dude, for real.
Isaac
It was.
Steve Cavino
It really was like, Rich is right. Rich grew up in Long Island. I grew up in New Jersey. I have the same exact stories that Rich has.
Monsi Balanius
You bumped into a group of hotties. One of them's like, and you see Jessica over there, she. To bang Jeter, like, there was. There was every group of hot girls.
Steve Cavino
Everybody loved Eric Cheater.
Monsi Balanius
Got away with everything.
Steve Cavino
Young women, your mom, World Series. So your mom.
Monsi Balanius
Your mom too. Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Everybody loved Eric Jeter. You know, he was just a winner. And he was handsome in his younger days. I mean, he still looks great now. I'm just saying. No, no, no, I'm saying. But when he was a young dude, he was a stud. So based on that, he was a sex symbol for sports especially. Who comes to mind for you? The greatest of all time. Doesn't. Doesn't have to be sports related?
Monsi Balanius
Of course not. I mean, who are you gonna mention, Steffi Graff when it comes to sex symbols? For me, as a little boy, I remember I knew, I knew I like girls the minute I saw National Lampoons Vacation with my dad. And Christie Brinkley was driving around in the sports car and she started stripping in front of Chevy Chase at the pool. This is crazy. This is crazy. This is crazy. That to me, I was like, yo.
Steve Cavino
By the way, Brinkley, I hate the name drop. Actually, I love it. We've interviewed Christie Brinkley. Can I tell you, she was just drop dead gorgeous in person. In person at. How old is she? 160. Still at this age.
Monsi Balanius
Looks amazing.
Steve Cavino
So your phone calls next.
Monsi Balanius
He was, whether you want to deny it or not, he was a sex symbol for women in the 90s and 2000s.
Steve Cavino
You could deny it all you want.
Monsi Balanius
If you lived on the East Coast. Every group of hot girls had some girl bragging that she hooked up with Jeter at a club once or some, you know, story.
Steve Cavino
I mean, but from Jessica Alba to Vanessa Minillo to Minka Kelly, they'll all tell you otherwise because he was with every hottie. He had the Jessica trifecta. I think he dated every hot Jessica of our time. Alba to Beal.
Spot
By the way, I think our version out here on the west coast was Andre Ethier. Cause I remember going to Dodger games in my younger years and girls would be screaming, andre, have my baby.
Steve Cavino
Really?
Spot
Oh, yeah.
Steve Cavino
I would say before that again, outside looking in. And we're taking answers from the male and female perspectives. 8, 7, 7, 9, 9 on Fox. I just remember, like my aunt or my mom, Like Steve Garvey. So handsome. So I imagine.
Spot
Sounds like something my grandma would have said.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, I can imagine that he was him. And Steve Sachs. Wait, yes.
Monsi Balanius
Steve Sachs, too. Hold on. It wasn't Kurt Rampus in his glasses?
Steve Cavino
No. I imagine they were slain in their heyday. So we opened it up and we talked. The greatest sex symbols of our lifetime. Not necessarily in sports, just in our life. You mentioned the first time you realized that you really liked women, Rich.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Was Christie Brinkley.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah. I remember watching National Lampoons Vacation during that pool scene. This is crazy. This is crazy. I'm like, why do I feel something in my pants?
Steve Cavino
I remember when I was a little kid, I was at the Jersey Shore and I won, you know, one of those stupid games, you win a poster or whatever on the boardwalk. And I remember my mom was all excited for me. She's like, stephen, don't you want the Don Mattingly one? I'm like, no, Mom, I want the Samantha Fox one. I want the Samantha Fox one. But if we're talking, like sex symbols, I have to give my props to my all time favorite. I still think there's a chance somewhere, maybe in another lifetime. But Carmen Electra in her prime was the ultimate sex symbol of our generation.
Spot
That music video, remember?
Steve Cavino
Oh, yeah, dude. Go Go, Dancer. Yeah, I used to order that on the video jukebox over and over again.
Spot
You did?
Steve Cavino
Yeah, that and put them on the glass. Who do you got? Danny G?
Spot
Besides the time I grew a mustache in the fifth grade, I became a man in 1996.
Steve Cavino
Oh, boy.
Spot
When I saw Salma Hayek dance on stage in From Dusk Till Dawn.
Steve Cavino
Dude, you ain't kidding. My dad still talks about that. I'm like, all right, slow down, dad. Yeah, man. That's still my Hayek. Oh, my. Damn. Yeah.
Monsi Balanius
I don't want to know you.
Steve Cavino
You ain't kidding, bro.
Spot
She is still so gorgeous.
Steve Cavino
That was one of those scene. That's one of the most memorable sexy scenes that really, like, she was beautiful before that, but I think everybody was like, how do I get to that bar again? Where's she at? Oh, my goodness.
Monsi Balanius
I want to go back to Carmen Electra just for a second. Because if you were a kid of the 90s, you had your choice. If you like blondes, it was about Pam Anderson. And if you like brunettes, it was about Carmen Electra. And I always thought, why not both? But it reminds me of a great meme. You got to Give props to not a sex symbol. But you said that meme about Dennis Rodman, and it's like it was 1998. Dennis Rodman was winning NBA titles with Michael Jordan. He was also in the NWO with Hulk Hogan. Walter at the same time banging Carbon Electra. It's like, did anyone have a better year than Dennis Rodman? Than Rodman. And now he creates world peace. Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Now what a. What a career.
Monsi Balanius
But I want to ask monsieur, and I want to get some female opinions on this. Was there a moment? Because I know guys will always say Megan Fox in Transformers, Jessica Simpson in Dukes of Hazzards. Like.
Steve Cavino
Jennifer Love Healing.
Monsi Balanius
Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Isaac
She was great in that.
Steve Cavino
Oh, that one where she's wearing the tuxedo. No, wasn't it? What's the movie where she's looking?
Monsi Balanius
Heartbreakers.
Steve Cavino
Heartbreakers.
Isaac
There it is, I think. Can Hardly Wait is the one I think of when I think of Jennifer Love Hewitt.
Monsi Balanius
Is there a moment, Monsi, where women are all like, yeah, that. Like Brad Pitt and Fight Club. Is there a moment?
Isaac
Brad Pitt in Fight Club is a good one. I do think maybe at some point Leonardo DiCaprio.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Isaac
Was like after Titanic, because in Titanic, he looked a little young, but then he gets out of that, and then.
Sam
It'S like Leo from the beach, maybe. Was that pre or post Titanic?
Isaac
I don't know. I don't. I don't know. But definitely Leo. Leo in there. And I feel like maybe Jason Tatum. No, sorry. Channing Tatum.
Steve Cavino
No.
Isaac
Yeah, Channing. Channing Tatum. Who was in Jason Tatum? Not Jason Tatum. Channing Tatum. I think for a while was like in. What was that movie he did with his wife. Ex wife. Jenna Dhawan. Yeah, yeah, the dancing one. Magic.
Steve Cavino
Like.
Isaac
No, that was after the fact, which is what happened because of what he did in that other movie that was it called.
Steve Cavino
But who comes to mind for you now? Would it be like a Jason Momoa type?
Isaac
That's a good one. Henry Cavill. The Cavill. Henry Cavill.
Monsi Balanius
Henry Cavill.
Steve Cavino
We're corrected in the Cavalry. He's the sexiest.
Monsi Balanius
She's supposed to jump on him.
Isaac
Yeah, absolutely. And Derek Jeter still up there for me, man, he still looks good.
Steve Cavino
He does look great. But again, he. In that moment of time, he was slaying it.
Isaac
I think Matt Kemp, also here in LA for a while. Matt Kemp was a. Was a heartthrob, wasn't he?
Steve Cavino
He was dating, like, Rihanna or something.
Isaac
He did date Rihanna, and I think there was some issues there with some greatest sex symbols.
Steve Cavino
Of our time.
Monsi Balanius
Yo, if you want to stick to sports, I don't know why this name comes to mind, because I feel like you would hear women be like, Grady Sizemore. Was he a stud?
Steve Cavino
Yeah, I always bring that up because I remember, like, I had a girlfriend that thought he was, like, the hottest.
Monsi Balanius
Guy going, yeah, I got one for you. Now, of course, women all love Kelsey because of Taylor Swift.
Isaac
Sure.
Monsi Balanius
But I'm going to name another tight end from back in the day. I don't know why. He was a saint. He was a giant. There were women that used to always talk about Jeremy Shockey. Do you remember Jeremy Shockey?
Steve Cavino
I mean, again, we grew up on the east coast, so he was one of those party dudes that a lot of young women were talking about. For sure. We go to the phones, we turn it over to you. When I think of pinup girls and poster girls of our generation, I think Carmen Electra is right up there. You already mentioned Pam Anderson. Rich of our generation. Yeah, it's really a story of Andy Dufresne. It depends what generation you grew up in.
Monsi Balanius
Whose poster was on your wall?
Steve Cavino
Yeah, whose poster was on your wall?
Monsi Balanius
Because old fuzzy britches.
Steve Cavino
The first poster I had of a woman on my wall was Cindy Crawford.
Isaac
Nice.
Steve Cavino
So, boom. Let's go to the phones. The greatest sex symbols of our time.
Monsi Balanius
In honor, Spot had a poster of Nancy Reagan. Honestly.
Steve Cavino
Yeah. Just say no.
Monsi Balanius
She did have a reputation, though, by the way.
Steve Cavino
Spot was like, just say yes.
Monsi Balanius
Look it up. Let's go to Trip in Vegas. What's up, Trip?
Steve Cavino
Trip. Trip.
I
Hey, everybody. I just wanted to say a few things for all the listeners out there. You guys could not have been more accommodating. I mean, Rich grabbed me at one event.
Monsi Balanius
I didn't even see him consensually or.
I
And then the time I spent with Spot. And I hate that I missed monsieur.
Steve Cavino
I know. I.
Isaac
We missed each other. I know.
I
That's all right. West Relate. West relayed the message. We'll talk soon. Yeah. But I will say this. I know yesterday we were talking about triggering things. Let me tell you what triggers Covino. When he gave me a hug and he said, how in the world is your shirt softer than mine? And I was like, what do you think? What is this? Who makes the shirt? Why is this shirt so soft? So anyway, I thought I'd relay that, but then. Sex symbols. How about a current one? Or the first time I ever saw this? How about Margot Robbie and Wall Street?
Monsi Balanius
Oh, my God. That's a grand slam Wall street when she's sitting in that bedroom. That scene with DiCaprio. Holy mackerel.
Sam
Okay, but on that same Holy bananas. In that same vein, how about, like, Jamie Presley and Joe Dirt?
Steve Cavino
She looks.
Monsi Balanius
I want to hear about your vein. No, no, no.
Steve Cavino
But. But Jamie Pressley looks. Looks almost.
Sam
And they're both super hot in those movies.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, right.
Sam
Oh, I. Can I.
Steve Cavino
Have.
Sam
I share another one? How about she plays this character, Nadia, Shannon Elizabeth, in American Pie. Oh, dude, absolutely. I mean, how many young boys, like, watch that scene where she's with Jason Bateman? I'm sorry, Jason Bateman, Jason Biggs.
Monsi Balanius
Have you ever thought back to how wrong that scene was? Like, everyone was watching her against her will on, like, a webcam.
Sam
Like, Blink182 was watching.
Steve Cavino
It was. It was a different time. It really was.
Monsi Balanius
No doubt. Tempe, Arizona. Let's say hi to Dave. What's up, Dave?
I
How you guys doing today?
Monsi Balanius
What's up, man?
I
All right. A couple different things. I'm giving away my age, but my influences as a young. As a young man were Aaron Gray watching Buck Rogers. Suzanne Summers was always on top. And of course, when I first saw Weird Science and saw Aaron LeBrock, I absolutely lost it. But as far as the first poster I got was Heather Thomas from the Fall Guy.
Steve Cavino
And I don't think I can. Why don't you bring up Linda Carter and call it a day?
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, you. You nailed it with all the older school hotties.
Steve Cavino
Yeah. Thanks, man. That was great. Thank you. Yeah, you got. Like I said, it's all generational. Really is. But of our lifetime, 8, 7, 7, 9, 9 off.
Monsi Balanius
You brought up Suzanne Summers even as a little boy. I remember, remember, she was on Three's Company and, you know, she was like. Of course she was Chrissy, right? The, you know, the ditzy hottie. Like, she was great on that show. Later on, Step By Step with Patrick Duffy. A stud.
Steve Cavino
Who else do we got?
Sam
I watch that show a lot.
Monsi Balanius
Let's go to Nick in New York City. What's up, Nick?
Steve Cavino
Hey, Nick.
I
Hey. How you guys doing? Love this show. Thanks for making us a part of it. That honestly.
Steve Cavino
No problem.
Monsi Balanius
Hey, Nick, before you give us your answer, will you back us up, being that you're a New York guy? In the 2000s, didn't every group of hot women have one girl that claimed she would got with Jeter?
I
Yeah, I would say so. It would always. And we'd always hear, like, on the radio up here, like, oh, she got a gift basket.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, the gift Basket was. He said it was false, but we. I believe it. I believe it, bro.
I
They never said, like, what was in it. Like, they were very secretive about it, but. But they got gift basket. So that's a very secretive thing.
Monsi Balanius
So what's yours?
I
So I want to say two things. One, I think that white women liking black men and vice versa is because of Julia Stiles.
Steve Cavino
Oh, you know what?
Monsi Balanius
To save the last chance that broke some color barriers in. In Crushes, there was a movie that.
I
We watched when we were kids, and then all of a sudden, my sister's bringing over a black guy, like, the next week, so whatever. But we went to a WWF event back in the day, and my friend bought a Sable poster. And this one, she wore the pasties on her. Her boobs that were like, the hands on it. And it was. That was taboo back then.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, yeah. Sable and some of those WWE divas I know recently. Kavino's. Like, we forget how popular Stacy Keibler was for a second.
Steve Cavino
Oh, yeah, definitely. By the way, Sam wore similar pasties at our pool party.
Spot
You just missed it when he said that too. It reminded me of the famous cover cover for Janet Jackson. Was it Rol Stones with the hands on her?
Isaac
I think so.
Monsi Balanius
I wish Sam just had pasties of Caitlyn Clark's head. On his nipples.
Steve Cavino
Yes.
Sam
On my unshaved chest.
Monsi Balanius
Yes.
Sam
It was very good looking.
Steve Cavino
Who else do we got?
Monsi Balanius
We're going to Colin in New York State. What's up, Colin?
I
What's up, guys? How about Jenny McCarthy?
Monsi Balanius
Yo, dude, I. We worked with her at Sirius XM, and I always, every time I passed her, I had small talk with her. It was so weird to think, like, oh, my God, I had such a crush on you. And she always looked great. So, yeah, Jenny McCarthy always definitely on the list. Remember what was Singled out exact?
Steve Cavino
Her and Carmen Electra on Singled out. But Jenny McCarthy was definitely part of the Spencer gift posters you'd see in the back of the store for sure. The Kathy Ireland days.
Monsi Balanius
Well, if you're just joining us, it's Derek Cheater's birthday, so we decided to throw it back and say, who are those sex symbols that you remember back in the day? You know, men and women who. Who are the athletes and studs every woman wanted? And what was the woman that. That you had it for back in David Beckham? Can I tell you, I've never felt more insecure as a grown man. When Kavino and I had the pleasure to sit down and interview David Beckham, he was charming and handsome as f. I was like, oh, get out of here.
Steve Cavino
Hold on. You know, David Beckham, not only a superstar athlete.
Monsi Balanius
Right?
Steve Cavino
Right. Oh, hello, Kevin.
Sam
Not only does he have a high voice, though.
Monsi Balanius
Hello.
Isaac
I don't care about his.
Steve Cavino
I know, I know. He's a stud on every.
Sam
It's great to be with you.
Isaac
I could have a glass of milk and I let it slide.
Steve Cavino
Fine. But you know what? He owns something that only. Only a few own. Maybe Brad Pitt's in this company because every phase and stage of his life, he was awesome.
Isaac
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Like, he had so many different looks. And you see that in the. In the David Beckham documentary.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, yeah.
Steve Cavino
When he had a man bun, when.
Monsi Balanius
He had, like, long blonde hair. When he had. Now he's all tattooed like.
Steve Cavino
He's sickening.
Monsi Balanius
It's sickening.
Steve Cavino
You gotta give him credit, though. Yeah, you gotta give him credit. What a guy. He belongs in this conversation.
Monsi Balanius
You know, he. He was so kind. He did a personal video message for my sister. And looking back, I'm like. That was like, super kind.
Isaac
That's super.
Monsi Balanius
And pretty cool gift. Where do you want to go? New Mexico.
Steve Cavino
New Mexico.
Monsi Balanius
Anthony, what's up, buddy?
I
Hey, guys. Love the show.
Monsi Balanius
Thank you, man. What's up?
I
Hey, you guys were talking about teenage boobies the other day. I got one for you. And sex symbol there. How about Lisa Silverstone? Clueless.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
It all started with the Aerosmith video with Steven Tyler's daughter, Liv Tyler. That's what really put her on the map for a minute. Was that amazing? What video was that? But it was Aerosmith video that really, like, skyrocketed her career. Like, who's that? If you guys remember videos.
Monsi Balanius
Katie in South Dakota. What's up, Katie?
I
Hey, so Kavina is big on music. I would like to chime in with Debbie Harry and Sebastian Bach.
Steve Cavino
Blondie, big time sex symbol for her day, and Sebastian Bach. Not only is Sebastian Bach a good looking rock star, that dude's known for having one of the greatest voices ever.
Monsi Balanius
Skid row, so.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, Skid row for sure. Awesome. But, yeah, every chick loves Sebastian Bach growing up.
Spot
You know another singer. Well, she turned to singing after the. Well, she got in trouble because she was in Playboy, Right. She was Miss America. Vanessa Williams.
Isaac
Oh, yeah.
Spot
Our first poster, my older brother and I, she had an album called the Comfort Zone. When you have a moment later, after our show, Google the Comfort Zone album cover. And we had that on a poster until my mom came in and took it off the wall.
Steve Cavino
Danny saved the best for last. Get it best for last.
Monsi Balanius
Danny's mom was like, what happened to your Marcus Allen poster?
Steve Cavino
And do you know her brother is the black dude in dodgeball with Ben Stiller? That's Chris Williams.
Spot
Yes, that's right.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, he's a funny ass dude. Sex symbols, by the way, the greatest of all time.
Sam
It was crying. Aerosmith.
Steve Cavino
Oh, crying when I met you. Yeah. That's where Silverstone, I don't want to say made her debut, but it really brought it to the mainstream.
Monsi Balanius
Coach Russell in Orlando. What's up, Orlando?
Steve Cavino
Hey, guys.
Monsi Balanius
How we doing? We're good, man. What's on your mind?
I
Yeah, I'm an older guy, of course, but back in the day, Farrah Fawcett and Jane Seymour. Lauren Hutton. And the one skirt I always wanted to see flip up was Chris Everett.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah. It's so funny. Farrah Fawcett, definitely. I mean, I wasn't that poster she had in the onesie my.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Monsi Balanius
I thought it was the hottest thing ever. My wife did it. My wife did a photo shoot, like, sort of mimicking that. And it's the favorite pictures I have of my wife. The fact that Farrah Fawcett look is hot. And Jane Seymour Covino and I always laugh because we had her on our show once.
Steve Cavino
We sure did.
Monsi Balanius
And at first we were like, ash.
Sam
We check Dr. Quinn.
Steve Cavino
Yeah.
Sam
Medicine woman. Oh, yeah.
Steve Cavino
I think she wanted me. Sam.
Sam
No, but Sam, she can give me her medicine.
Monsi Balanius
Sam, keep it in your parents.
Steve Cavino
You have no faith in medicine.
Spot
Play the rim shot on yourself.
Steve Cavino
But I'm sure.
Monsi Balanius
So we were discussing like, yo, come here now. Should we have Jane Seymour on the show? I don't know. Is it really in our demo? What are we gonna talk to her about? And our old pal Steve Cohen, who. Not the owner of the Mets, the guy that runs a lot of sports networks. He worked with SiriusXM, the NFL. He's a great guy. And we always remember the quote. He'd be like, you have to have her on.
Steve Cavino
Think of the stories.
Monsi Balanius
Think of the story.
Steve Cavino
Think of the stories.
Monsi Balanius
And that changed our mind for interviews from that point on, like, all right, well, think of the stories. What stories will this person have? And you know what?
Steve Cavino
She had plenty of stories.
Monsi Balanius
Great stories. Jane Seymour definitely had.
Steve Cavino
When I think of sex symbols, I think of the horny little boy. I was. Right? Yeah. I think I was like, boob obsessed. I was a kid and I think of like, 80s boobs. Sorry. Forgive me, Mom. Sorry. 80s. And I think of like Jennifer Tilly because every character she plays, right. She's always wanting it, right? And as a teenage kid, you're like, liar, liar. What is Jim Carrey doing? Cash in on that. But, dude, every movie she was in, right? Or, like, even further backwards. Like, I know it's a stupid answer, but my heart was on fire for Elvira, bro. I wanted good, yo. She. I was like, yeah, Mistress of the night was a darker night. I didn't care, dude.
Monsi Balanius
That's funny as hell.
Steve Cavino
She was rocking the cleave. That's all I cared about. When I was. When I was around that age, man, I'd stay up late to watch her, you know?
Monsi Balanius
We're gonna take a few more phone calls, but I want to ask this question. We're talking about the sex symbols on Jeter's birthday.
Steve Cavino
Carmen Electro is by far my favorite. Number one. And now, Rich, we live in a different. Which makes this conversation more fun because there's no standard answers anymore. Because it's just, I don't know, the hot girl on Instagram. Right. You were just oversaturated with random girls with their cheeks out.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah. Like, the closest thing might be, like, I don't know, guys like Sydney Sweeney, but you can find, like, the hottest girl ever just by scrolling on TikTok for five seconds. My question is, it's twofold. Do you believe the Wilt Chamberlain. Chamberlain numbers when they talk about the tens of thousands of women? Like, when you do the math, 365 days a year divided by, like, is it possible he really got with that many women?
Steve Cavino
And number two, I mean, how could he possibly play that much basketball and still do all that? I just don't know how.
Monsi Balanius
Stamina and part two, multiple in one night. Part two of that question is, what athlete do you think probably got with the most women? Like, who was such the playboy in the 70s, 80s, 90s? Is there one athlete that you're like, man, that guy, he was so handsome. And it's clear that he was just eligible.
Steve Cavino
Magic Johnson did all right before.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
Before everything, I bet.
Spot
Yeah, that didn't end well, but that's. Yeah, that's might be the answer. Yeah. We heard crazy stories, and some of them may be exaggerated, some of. Some of the stories not.
Steve Cavino
And the ladies loved them.
Spot
Just his smile attracted women by the dozens.
Steve Cavino
So sex symbols of our lifetime. Because Derek Jeter, man, he was. He was the stud of the mid-90s to the early 2000s, for sure. Especially in the world of sports.
Monsi Balanius
Billy in Vermont. What's up, man?
I
Hey, how you guys doing? I just want to first thank you guys, I listen to you every day on my way home.
Monsi Balanius
Thank you.
I
45 minutes and I got to go from A to AM because the FM bugs out. But anyway, the guy in Orlando stole. Stole my para faucet because I had her poster. And I don't know, you guys were youngsters so you probably enjoy it more than I did. But I had to. I don't know if I heard. When I was waiting to get in, I didn't hear everything everybody said, but everything I heard was, yeah, but from Halloween to Trading Places to True Lies. Jamie Lee Curtis. I think if you guys haven't seen that poll.
Steve Cavino
Very good answer, Mike. Who runs this place is territory.
Spot
Who?
Steve Cavino
Mike. He was talking about him.
Monsi Balanius
Lee Curtis. Oh, yeah.
Steve Cavino
I thought he said Chad Curtis. At first I was like Chad Curtis, the baseball player. Jamie Lee Curtis.
Spot
I have a redhead nobody is going.
Monsi Balanius
To bring up on Carrot Top. Justin Turner.
Spot
No, look, nobody's going to say her name, but. And I don't think she's in this new edition of Jurassic park. But Bryce. Dallas Howard.
Isaac
Oh, yeah.
Steve Cavino
Oh, she's got a. What is Cal Raleigh's nickname?
Monsi Balanius
Oh, the big dumper.
Steve Cavino
I mean. Yeah. And she's a delight, you know?
Spot
Yeah, you told me. You guys interviewed her.
Steve Cavino
She is really good. Like she's Ron Howard daughter.
Monsi Balanius
You know, when you bring up. Brings the heat when you bring up redheads. Think of your childhood and watching all the reruns of Gilligan's Island. Ginger, whoever that actress was, I saw.
Steve Cavino
Everybody knows Mary Ann was the one, bro.
Monsi Balanius
I saw a picture of Ginger recently, like a rare spotting in LA. I think she's like 90.
Steve Cavino
She's still alive, dude.
Monsi Balanius
Yes, she's Ginger. Still alive.
Sam
Can I give you guys a couple from the. From the olden times, if I may? Iowa. Sam, this up a little bit.
Monsi Balanius
Who? Mary Todd Lincoln.
Sam
Not that far.
Spot
Mary Tyler Moore.
Sam
I was going to go. I'm going to give you three ladies from maybe our golden age of cinema. Marilyn Monroe, obviously. Sophia Loren, no doubt. And Raquel Welch.
Steve Cavino
Dude.
Sam
And thank you. And then my. I swear, both of my grandmothers who are now deceased. Helen and Nancy. Great names for grandmas, by the way. Helen and Nancy both, I believe, uttered under their breath once how they thought Kirk Douglas was so handsome.
Steve Cavino
Let me, let me ask you this.
Sam
Wasn't he in Spartacus? He was all oiled up, you know, back in the day. He was a looker.
Steve Cavino
Sam, amazing answer, right? It has to be represented. If we're talking sex symbols.
Sam
I mean, Marilyn Monroe with the vent.
Steve Cavino
And all that I'm gonna say Jessica Rabbit. Cause I felt some type of way. Absolutely. Are you more of a Velma guy or Jessica? If you had a choose. Velma's always sexualized, you know, on social media for some reason.
Sam
Wait, Velma from Scooby Doo?
Isaac
Yeah.
Sam
She didn't quite expose herself as much. As much as Jessica Rabbit.
Steve Cavino
Okay, so you're like.
Monsi Balanius
How about.
Sam
How about Velma's personality? Jessica Rabbit's physical. Good for the perfect woman.
Steve Cavino
Good for Roger, bro.
Spot
How about the old school actress that Elvis went crazy over and Margaret.
Steve Cavino
Yeah. Oh, man. Any Elvis. How about Elvis?
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Spot
Yeah.
Monsi Balanius
By the way, fun fact, you know me, I'm on this day. Boy, I always know these fun facts. Today is the anniversary of Elvis's last concert, you know, and who knew because he passed away soon after, so.
Steve Cavino
And when you see how good looking Elvis was in his prime, it's gross. Like that the era where he's wearing the black leather outfit. Like, I don't know what era that is.
Monsi Balanius
Yeah, not fat Elvis.
Spot
It looked like there was a filter on him before filters were invented.
Steve Cavino
Come on, stop with that Elvis. Stop. You kind of get it, you know. Well, still. But you know, because he's overshadowed by Elvis. When you look up old stuff from like Ricky Nelson, Rick Nelson in his prime. Because I'm just thinking of things that my mom would say. Like he was so handsome. He really was a good looking dude. And we have no shame saying that.
Monsi Balanius
Paul Newman, right?
Steve Cavino
The Paul Newman super stud of our lifetime.
Monsi Balanius
You brought up Rob Lowe.
Steve Cavino
You know, women loved in the 80s.
Spot
Nobody said Tom Selleck.
Monsi Balanius
Stamos Tom Selleck's mustache.
Isaac
Tom Selleck is a good one. None of you said Scarlett Johansson. I feel like she was a it for a while.
Steve Cavino
No doubt, no doubt.

Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacy Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company of that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us.
Steve Cavino
When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the challenges.
J
Of being a black Founder.

Monsi Balanius
Jeff Bezos is getting married. I think. Didn't he shut down Venice? And everyone's.
Spot
He just rented the whole city.
Monsi Balanius
Everyone's like bitching and complaining that Jeff Bezos shut down Italy. It's Jeff Bezos. That's pretty cool. He could buy what he wants.
Steve Cavino
He shut down whatever he wants.
Monsi Balanius
And they're saying it's a star studded wedding and there's two guys that are going to this wedding. And the big debate on Social media is who is the more eligible bachelor because they both apparently are going to this party, going to this wedding to unleash. In fact, one of the guys said, I quote, plan to party pretty damn hard.
Steve Cavino
One guy is recently a bachelor.
Monsi Balanius
I'll give you the tale of the tape. He starred in Lord of the Rings, the Pirates movies. His exes include Miranda kerr, Katy Perry. 48 year old Orlando Bloom.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, just split up. Katy Perry after nine years. They were engaged.
Monsi Balanius
The other stud, seven time super bowl winner, divorced about a year ago. Whatever. Tom Brady, 47 years old. They were seen hanging out on a boat in Italy and apparently they're broing up.
Steve Cavino
Did Orlando Bloom have his pants on? I know how he rolls in the water.
Monsi Balanius
That is true. There was that famous. There was that famous picture of him and Katy Perry where he was nude on a paddleboard and you saw the shadow of his junk. True story. But Tom Brady and Orlando Bloom are both single and going to this wedding. And the social media debate among women on like TikTok and Instagram and Twitter, who is the more eligible bachelor who would get more attention from women at a wedding? Tom Brady or Orlando Bloom?
Steve Cavino
Is this when we rely on the women of Fox sports radio?
Monsi Balanius
Yeah.
Steve Cavino
87799 on Fox. Ladies be dialing in. Because as a, as a man I could tell you. I think the answer is obvious. But what do I know, Monsieur? Who's the more eligible bachelor at Bezos's wedding? Is it Tom Brady or Orlando Bloom?
Isaac
Orlando Bloom never did it for me. Not ever. Not once. Not ever. And still doesn't.
Steve Cavino
So passed him on the paddle board.
Isaac
That passed it. I don't even. Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter. Would I not. Does nothing. I don't care. That does nothing. For me it does. Tom Brady, definitely.
Rich Davis
Even though he's right.
Isaac
Even though his face looks like it's had work done.
Steve Cavino
I.
Isaac
It just. Orlando Bloom. I was just telling Isaac here like he just never did it for me. I. I was more into Johnny Depp. Even though, you know, apparently he's stinky. I was more into Johnny Dep. Orlando Bloom during that. That's what they say.
Monsi Balanius
I see. With our pal Lo and Cron. Any, any. Any women or men come to mind? Who is his favorite sex symbol?
Isaac
Men come to mind for you? Isaac. Woman specifically. Maybe.
Monsi Balanius
Sex symbols.
Steve Cavino
Sex symbol.
Isaac
Lynda Carter. Wonder Woman.
Steve Cavino
She was mentioned.
Isaac
That was mentioned. Matthew McConaughey. I'll honorable mention. And also Brandon and Shea. Mila Kunis.
Monsi Balanius
Oh yeah, yeah.
Isaac
We forgot about Mila.
Monsi Balanius
Kunis in the movie.
Isaac
In all of them. Doesn't matter.
Steve Cavino
Forgetting Sarah.
Monsi Balanius
Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Isaac
Yeah, but even in Bad Moms, she's great. Still in Bad Moms.
Spot
And then new Brandon and I, we were talking about Anne Hathaway.
Isaac
Her face card. Like, I love Anne Hathaway. Shut up, Spot. Giving me a little. No.
Monsi Balanius
You know what? I. I want to hear all the feedback about Bloom or Brady. Who do you feel like would get more female attention at a wedding? Tom Brady or Orlando Bloom? They're both going to Jeff Bezos wedding. And the whole joke on social media is that they're new like bros and they're hanging in Venice together and everyone's like, oh, who could get more booty Brady.
Steve Cavino
I think the answer is so obviously agree with Monty Belano and here's why.
Monsi Balanius
But there's a lot of like book nerd girls like, oh my God, Orlando Bloom.
Steve Cavino
I mean, come on, he'll slay it in Middle Earth then, I guess. But here on regular, full of arrows, it's Tom Brady. Because he's adored by men and women. The guy is a super stud. There's only one guy in sports that out studs Brady, and that's Ronaldo, who Monsie mentioned before. But he's not single. So. Tom Brady is by far the most eligible bachelor in all the land, period. He's a superstar, he's an icon.
Monsi Balanius
You be the judge. Bloomer Brady at Covino and Rich. Now Kavino. I feel like the story will get stale, so. So let's touch on it real quick if it's cool with you. We got a few minutes.
Steve Cavino
Perfect. Dylan Harper.
Monsi Balanius
Dylan Harper.
Steve Cavino
Dylan Harper.
Monsi Balanius
Not the porn star. That's, I believe, Dillian anyway.
Steve Cavino
By the way, Rutgers point guard. Yeah, yeah, right.
Spot
Yeah. Ace's teammate, which is wild.
Steve Cavino
Like Rutgers. What up?
Monsi Balanius
Gotta give props to that coaching staff, right? Prepping these kids for the National.
Spot
Two stars in the top 10.
Steve Cavino
So he goes number two in the NBA to the Spurs. Dylan Harper is interviewed by Taylor Rooks. And she asks him about her famous dad, Ron's dad.
Monsi Balanius
What you said her famous dad.
Steve Cavino
His famous dad about his famous dad, Ron. Take a listen.
Monsi Balanius
Everything. I mean, my dad was dead. Definitely was a great player. I mean, my dad scored the ball, passed the ball, played defense. But I think I'm just. I mean, I like to always have the utmost confidence in myself. So I'm gonna just say I'm no better at everything than him. Except for jumping. He might have jumping over me. But besides from that, I got myself asked what is what is he better than? Than his dad. And he said everything.
Steve Cavino
It's the way he said it, bro. It's the way he said it. Like, you're better at everything. Your dad was a bonafide NBA star with the. With the Bulls. I'm thinking of him. And you're better at everything than you. Isn't there a nicer way to say.
Monsi Balanius
That you feel it to be like.
Steve Cavino
I feel like it's a little condescending toward his dad, like a little disrespectful.
Monsi Balanius
I look at it this way. I feel like every dad's goal and dream is that his son is a little bit better than him and everything. If my son could be a little taller, a little more handsome, a little funny, or a little more successful, what do you want? Your kid?
Steve Cavino
What does that necessarily mean? You know what I mean. You don't need to downplay your dad's achievements to uplift yours in that way. It just sounded a little too harsh, in my opinion.
Monsi Balanius
Playful.
Steve Cavino
It wasn't playful.
Monsi Balanius
I don't think it was.
Spot
His dad was also a Clipper and a Laker.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, his dad had a stellar career again, a famous name in the draft. And she asked him, you know, what are you better at than your dad?
Monsi Balanius
Listen to the tone one more time. What are you better than your dad? Everything. I mean, my dad was. Definitely was a great player. I mean, my dad scored the ball, pass the ball, played defense. But I think I'm listening. I mean, I like to always have the utmost confidence in myself. So I'm just saying I'm a little better at everything than him. Except for jumping. He might have jumping over me.
Steve Cavino
Yeah, but isn't there a more graceful way to say that? I think there is. And of course I agree with Rich. We all want our kids to be better than us. I'm sure our parents wanted us to be better than them. But what does better mean? You know what I'll never have that. My dad has a great mustache, beautiful kids, a great mustache. You know, he owns a home. He has grandkids, seven of them. You know, 45, 49 years of marriage. I'll never have any of those things. So it all depends on what you consider greatness. And success is.
Monsi Balanius
Get busy making babies then. All right, we'll see you guys tomorrow. Arrivederci, baby.
Steve Cavino
See you in the over promised land. Let's go.

Additionally, they celebrate Derek Jeter's birthday, sparking a nostalgic discussion on iconic sex symbols from the past.
Key Discussion Points:
Lack of Excitement: The hosts express disappointment over the subdued reactions from some NBA draft picks, contrasting it with the palpable enthusiasm typically seen in the NFL drafts.
Impact of NIL Deals: Rich Davis highlights how Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) agreements have altered the landscape for athletes, leading some players to exhibit diva-like behavior post-draft.
Player Adjustments: Steve Cavino emphasizes that drafted players should be grateful for their opportunities, regardless of the team they join, and discusses the benefits of starting their careers in smaller markets to gain experience.
Personal Insights: The conversation touches on personal anecdotes and observations, including the emotional intelligence of young athletes and the pressures they face in high-profile cities.
Notable Quotes:
Steve Cavino [04:48]: “I felt like the excitement level wasn't that grand. It wasn’t the excitement you get from the NFL. Not even close.”
Rich Davis [06:03]: “I think the fun of social media in 2025 is you don't feel like you miss anything.”
Monsi Balanius [12:03]: “Don't act like there's a difference. There's...”

Sam [52:17]: “What turns me on is when a man sends me money. Like, I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money...”
Key Discussion Points:
Emotional Reactions: The hosts discuss the varying emotional responses of athletes being drafted, questioning why some appear less grateful or excited about their opportunities.
Generational Perspectives: Comparing older generations' reactions to success with today's athletes, the hosts ponder whether societal changes have influenced how young players handle their newfound fame and wealth.
