Hey, in your corazon. We got a lot to get to today, but I'll tell you this. There's some guy in the studio that disagrees with the rest of us. Well, and that's the guy touching the ones and twos. I was. Sam. Jackass. Shame on that jackass. Love you Sam. Great to see you. Hey buddy. What's up Iowa Samuel, Big Apple Sam. And of course super producer Danny G. Happy Monday.

I mean who has that great of a weekend ever? Yeah, think about it. You're just inches, inches away from five. That's what she said, right? Rich? You're just inches away from five dongs. You have four bombs. First rookie to ever do that six for six. Like, what a stud of a weekend. Hope you had a CC Sabathia, Ichiro sort of weekend. Some moving speeches, hall of Famers, Congratulations to the whole class. I watched some of that, Rich. That was fun, too. I mean, Nicholas Kurtz, Nick Kurtz, 19 total bases. I was talking to you earlier saying that even in your best little league day in your grown ass, you know, Beer League softball, 6 for 6 with four home runs is not something you could do. If I told Cavino you're going to play with a bunch of little Leaguers today, you may not even do that. It's absurd when you think of that stat line. That's why it's never been done. And he almost hit five. He almost hit five home runs. That's a weekend. That's a week. That's a. That's a month's worth of stats he did in one day. That's unbelievable. It's the greatest offensive day we've ever seen. It's like, what Now? I'm not trying to take anything away from him, but he did hit one of those bombs off of a position player that was brought in to throw meatballs. Hey, ask Jazz Chisholm how easy that is to do though, right? It's not that easy, but great point. I mean, still part of the discussion nonetheless. But 6 for 6? Rich is right. You can't even do that in Sunday softball. He did that in the MLB as a rookie. So the best is yet to come for him. So hope you had a grand weekend. And congrats again to Ichi Ro Suzuki, the consummate professional. I have so much respect for that guy because he lives by respect and honor. And he talked about it. CC Sabathia, Captain Crunch Sabathia. One of my favorites. A guy you look back on and you really say. And I hate the saying Rich. They just don't make them like that anymore. A true workhorse, right? I mean, an old yet. As some call him. Yes, yes. Si, si. Captain Crunch Sabathia, who always wore his uniform like it was some comfy pajamas for a sleepover party. He wore his pajamas on the mound, yet worked harder than anyone else. Since then, two things stand out when it. When it comes to Sabathia. First of all, how much he was sweating during the speech, how he's one of those guys that kept the weight on because it benefited him. And after retirement, he's all trim and slim. Number one. He's great, man. One of. One of. One of the most selfless acts I've seen in Sports done by CC Sabathia, where I believe he was like an inning or a strikeout or something away from some big bonus, but he opted to throw at the other team because they had thrown at his team. And I remember the Yankees did still give him that bonus. But I remember thinking, all right, he's a team player. And I just remember, come playoff time, whether it was Milly Walker or the Yankees, like Cece Sabathi always seemed to be a guy in a big spot that performed at the highest levels. And I don't know if I heard this stat right, but he's the first Yankee starter since Whitey Ford or something to wear a Yankee hat into the hall of Fame. Starter. I don't know if that's accurate. Maybe lefty, maybe that's the stat. But still, he's one of those guys that, of course you knew he was great always, but when you look back, you appreciate his stats even more because you might not ever see it again. The way the game is today, starters are out in the fifth inning. This guy was pitching complete games all the time. 251 wins, over 3,000 strikeouts. Again, he did it all and was happy to see him honored over the weekend. And like I said, the whole class. Congrats to everybody. Billy Wagner, not too many. 5, 10 relievers in the hall of Fame. In fact, he might be the only one. Him and Pedro, I believe, as far as pitchers, Dave Parker was honored. Dick Allen and Dave Parker's son did a great job reciting his poem. But some really touching speeches. I do want to say there's more to life than Happy Gilmore, too. Those hall of Fame speeches are great. But then again, we do have to talk about Happy Gilmore, too. Oh, yeah, Cavino. When I thought about that stat, you just said first pitcher since what you say? Whitey Ford, probably lefty pitcher, but yeah, to wear a Yankee hat into the hall of Fame. I thought about it and in the 80s and 90s, Ron Guidry is not a Hall of Famer. And then Clemens cone is. Pettit's not a Hall of Famer. So key the stat. Yeah, they're all guys. Mosina was more of an Oriole, I guess. I don't know. Goose Gossage wasn't always a starter, right. He was more of a bullpen guy. So, yeah, I don't even know if he went in as a Yank. So, yeah. So it's really cool to see these guys honored. And it was really great to see Ichiro be the first ever Japanese player. You Know who he paid homage to? A guy that doesn't get enough credit. You know, speaking of maybe sleeping on Sabathia stats, but recognizing it now, he was giving a lot of props to Hideo Nomo for just opening his eyes up to the fact that he could be a big leaguer in the States one day. Like it never even dawned on him to play American baseball until he saw Nomo do it. It made it a possibility, a reality, and we reaped all the benefits. Man, that guy put up some crazy numbers, some crazy stats. We were honored to watch him play another guy that they don't make like they used to and who said he appreciated his time in pinstripes. He thanked the Yankees, even though he said everyone's there to celebrate CC Sabathia. He thanked Derek Jeter. Derek Jeter. I'm not sure he even applauded, which rubbed me the wrong way. But he said it was an honor to play under his leadership. And he made a joke about the Marlins, too, saying that he didn't even know they were a team, but was honored to play for them. He just handled the whole thing well and was really funny in his speech. No one expected comedy from Ichiro, but he brought it. And it does make you, again, rich. Appreciate some of the legends we got to see growing up. And Dave Parker was so close to seeing his own moment. You know, I know I. You know, I think of Ichiro and I feel like he's one of those guys that. I know he had little stints on different teams, but part of me feels like all those years in Seattle, like, oh, what if he would have been, like a postseason hero had he been somewhere else? But, man, just a guy that you, right, helped pave the way for other international players. Ichiro, you know, is a baseball machine. And you tell me, was he funnier than Happy Gilmore, too? Again, his speech was. Was all the buzz over the weekend and to the Miami Marlins. Honestly, when you guys called to offer me a contract for 2015, I have never heard of your team. Shut up. So congrats to all of them because aside from all the trash TV I watched, I did get emotional doing a little slow clap to the TV to see some of our old school heroes recognized over the weekend. It was a pretty cool class. Before we get to your weekend and everyone's weekend of sports and Gilmore and everything, you said it a few times. So I want to dissect a phrase you just said, if you don't mind, because you hear it a lot in sports. The NBA, NFL, Major League baseball, especially when it comes to pitchers. My dad finally got around to watching that Facing Nolan documentary about Nolan Ryan. Oh, Richie, you and Covino were right. It's a great documentary. When you say they don't make them like they used to, is that pretty much saying everyone now is a bitch? Are you calling ever? Is it pretty much saying you players that are now currently playing these sports are soft? I'll give you an example. Look up, look up CC stats, right? 251 wins. But when you look through his stats, he has like a 19 win season and a 21 win season. And I forget what Negro league pitcher it was, but there was a pitcher that an old school guy who put the pressure on like you got to win 20 games, you got to be in the 20 win game club. As an African American, you got to set yourself apart and you got to win those 20 games. Dude who's really winning 20 games nowadays. And that's something that he took a lot of pride in. 21 wins to be in that elite club and to be that it's starters are out in the fourth, fifth inning all the time this guy was pitching complete games left and right. It's not an overused saying if it's true. They just don't. And the game has changed so much. But we take these young dudes out immediately. They're not working them the way they work. They a workhorse like Sabathia and Ichiro just puts up circus numbers, dude. He was in the MLB at 27. He came into the MLB and still ended up with almost 3100 hits. Well over 3000 in MLB. That's not including the Japanese league because otherwise Pete Rose would be rolling in his grave right now. And he still ended with a.311 batting average played into his later years. Ichiro, Cece, these are old school exceptions, dude. Now I don't know if that 20 wins is that attainable. You're right. Even at Dave Parker. Look at Dave Parker stats. What do you play 21 years. 19 years in the big leagues. Insane. You brought up that 20 win goal for a guy like Cece. Yeah, it's still possible. But as of as we stand right now, two guys have 12 wins. Two year Yankees, Max Freed and Rodone both have 11. So what are those guys on track for a while? Maybe 16, 15, 16 wins if they, you know, that's what you're sort of on track for. Yeah. And you're like impressed. If anyone throws a complete game, let alone a complete game shutout, it's just a. It's a different game. But it's not just the game. These guys are not built for that anymore. We yank them out. But is it always a knock on the young guys when people say they don't make them the way they used to? Like, is it a knock? I mean, it's not meant to be. It's meant to be a tribute to the way these guys played. It's not meant to knock the younger guys. It's not. The game has changed, but they're also made of glass, it seems. Yeah, maybe overwork, you know, but guys like Cece, look at the numbers. Look how many shutouts he had. It's crazy. It's a different game. How many complete games he had. Kavino. You see every guy. Every guy out of your pen, no matter who your team is, is thrown at least 95. Back in the day, only a handful of guys threw 95. So can you say it's a different game? They don't make them the way they used to because, you know, the way they used to guys are throwing 88 to 91. And I was like, that was some guy's fastball. Like, we're. They don't make them the way they used to. But guess what? They used. They never made them the way they do now. Where you get a guy throwing splitters at 98 miles an hour? That. That was never a thing. So it's. I think it's a trade off. Well, again, yeah, they're not pacing themselves. They're just flamethrowers. It's not the art of pitching. Guys like Cece, guys like Maddox will tell you that. And that's what they sort of frown upon. And, you know, that's just part of getting old. I guess you're right, Rich. It's a different game. But these flamethrowers are not as crafty as the Beastie Boys would like him to be. You know, Cece was crafty and just my type. And I believe he had 38 complete games. He had 10 complete games in one season. Guy that went as deep as he could into every game. And again, a guy built for that. I just remember, like, my grandfather being like, they don't make cars the way they used to. I'm like, yeah, but guess what, grandpa? They got navigation in cars now. And, like, bucket seats and, you know, like comfort back in the day. Yeah. They might not make a car like a big metal Oldsmobile, but come on. I believe Dan Beyer wants to weigh in. And Everybody could at 8, 7. 799 on Fox. Again, I'm not trying to tear any newer generation pitcher down. There's pros and cons. But I'm just trying to say that we had a pretty solid class this year and the speeches were great and it was cool to see. What's up, Dan? Yeah, just a couple of things on that. First of all, I do want to say I'm not trying to be disrespectful to the Pete Rose fans or anybody out there. I'm glad this weekend wasn't hijacked by Pete Rose. You mentioned that earlier. Obviously we lost him. But the storyline of now when is Pete Rose going to go into the hall of Fam? Could have, you know, we could do this over the next couple of years before they actually decide. And that wasn't the case. But what I think is so unique about Sabathia, and it's a lot of different ways, is number one, it's one of those trade deadline deals that I look as a Brewers fan that I think we all love and remember and ones that stand out. This trade deadline probably isn't going to have that type of player, but it's really cool when a deal is done at the trade deadline for a team and then to have it work out like it did. The brewers were supposed to have Ben Sheets and CC Sabathia for that stretch run and Sheets got injured. So then that's why cece had to take on the added role. The reason I bring this up is because, Rich, your Mets were battling the brewers that year for the playoffs. And I remember going to a game in Atlanta the final week of the year because I did stuff for college football for Fox and I was in the south and I'm like, I'm going to go to the Braves Mets game and cheer for the Braves against the Mets so the brewers could try to end their drought. And that doesn't happen without cece Sabathia coming to Milwaukee. And so there's just a lot of different branches of a move that can be made like that. And then, you know, his Yankees success in the World Series cements who he is. But yeah, that's, that's the other cool thing about hall of Fame weekend is there's different fan bases that can take in because if a player maybe played for one or two or three different teams that had the effect like Sabathi, and I think he's a great example, Dan, and well said, man. But he's a great example of players I think that we took for granted because their greatness was expected. Like, if your team was in a slump, cece was the type of guy that, you know, would shut it down immediately. And yeah, and you just expected that from him. And when it's so expected all the time, Rich, you're not as impressed and you're not surprised. But when you look back, you appreciate him. And I think there's a lot of players like that. If you compare it to today's game, like that we took for granted, and you look at their stats later on, you're like, man, I don't think I appreciated that guy enough. I do that with music too. We've talked about it last year and the year before, but because there are additional playoff teams in Major League Baseball and because it's hard, you got to be pretty terrible to feel like you're so out of it at this point. Because with the third wild card, if you're playing.500 baseball, you're not out of it. You're like a five game win streak away from maybe sniffing the playoffs. So, Dan, I know you pointed out like a year ago and I love the narrative that you're not going to get as many sellers. And the trade deadline used to be really exciting because, yeah, you'd sacrifice some of these rookies. He never knew how they were going to turn out. But you might land the Sabathia and that changes the vibe of your team. And right now when half the league, more than half the league is like, no, I think we could still make a playoff run. Those trade deadline deals, I don't think you're going to see them the way you used to. I will also bring up this point because with that year with Milwaukee, it had been 26 years since they'd been in the playoffs. Now with the expanded playoffs, you're not going to have a quarter century drought. You just have. It's just not going to really happen. I mean, is it. Is a team really going to miss the playoffs when you have, you know, six spots for. I mean, this is, you know, we were talking about at one point where the league only had two spots. And at that time around, it was still tough for Milwaukee when they expanded it to the divisional series. But it had been 26 years and you have a team in contention. So Milwaukee's like, yeah, let's go out and get them. I don't think you're going to have that now in Major League Baseball because there's going to be a fan base that is craving that sort of success. Dare I say there's less than 10 teams that are quote out of it. You look at the American League, I know Minnesota, you got, you got the Twins and the angels a little under.500. But they're only like four games out of that third wild card, which makes you wonder like they win 80, win 8 out of 10. You're sort of in the mix. And in the National League, other than Colorado, Washington, Pittsburgh and Atlanta, the Miami Marlins are playing hot. They're six games out of a wild card. So I don't think teams are quick to get rid of that star anymore. But you're right. Sabathia is a great example of someone that brought so much excitement at trade deadline. There are only four teams right now that have a playoff drought of five or more years and the Angels have the longest at 10. The Pirates nine, Rocky six. And the Nationals who won World Series in 2019, have a five season drought. That's it. So you know what, you trade in that World Series, they'll take that World Series for a drought any day. So you're right. There's only a few teams that, that's why baseball, it's popping. It is. It is. And even the ceremony this weekend was popping. I'm sure you guys saw some of the highlights. It was a good watch. Like I said, there was more to life than Happy Gilmore too. And that's where we land right now. We're getting some feedback on this, too. We'll take your phone calls at 87799 on Fox. But there is one guy in the studio for sure that we know of that despised the movie. Is it shame on him or shame on the movie? We'll explain.

When I was 13, my uncle took me to a qualifier and we watched Paraguay against Chile pouring rain.

When I became a journalist, I was the first Latina in the newsrooms where I worked. I'm Maria Hinojosa. I dreamt of having a place where voices that have been historically sidelined and would instead be centered. For over 30 years now, Latino USA has been that place. This is Latino USA, the radio journal of news and cultula. As the longest running Latino news and culture show in the United States, Latino USA delivers the stories that truly matter to all of us. From sharp and deep analysis of the most pressing news, they're creating this narrative that immigrants are criminals. This is about everyone's freedom of speech. Nobody expected two popes from the American continent to stories about our cultures and our identities. When you do get a trans character like Emilia Perez, the trans community is going to push back on that colorism. All of these things that exist in Mexican culture and Latino culture. You'll hear from people like Congresswoman aoc. I don't want to give them my fear. I'm not going to give them my fear. Listen to Latino USA as part of the My Cultura podcast network. Available on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Today's starters in the MLB are flamethrowers. But back in the day, they were crafty and they were just my type. And as hard as CC threw, he was a pitcher. He was a crafty guy. I'm not saying he was a Greg Maddox by any means, but that dude pitched. It was the art of pitching. And as we honor the hall of fame class of 2025, my biggest takeaway is simple, rich it's simple. It's like when you look at old pictures of yourself, right? You say things like, I wish I was as fat now as I thought I was then. Exactly right. I feel like when you see these numbers from players back then, you realize how much we took them for granted because you would kill for those numbers now. We just took CC Sabathia, Ichiro's, Dave Parker's, guys like that. You just took them for granted. If you had those numbers now, you'd be like, oh, my God, sign them up. Sign them up now. Immediately. But that's because each team nowadays has two guys that are batting like.209. You know, it's. It's a different game. But again, not to sound. You don't want to sound too much like the old guy and. And constantly say they don't make them the way they used to because you know how they used to make them durable. But they all threw 88, 91, 92 tops now. Or they were pacing themselves out. Dude, again, the art of pitching, instead of just throwing your arm out. I'm just saying now you get guys out of your bullpen, you don't even know their name. They're like some young dude you don't know, and he throws 101. I'm just saying, it's a. If someone threw 101 in 1988, it would be known different. That's a different goal. And is it a counterproductive goal? Is it. Is it really that great of a goal? You don't think CC Sabathia, at 300 pounds, 6 foot 6, could have threw harder? He was practicing the art of pitching, the dying art of pitching. But again, would kill for those stats now. And before we play, last one, standing giveaway prizes. And we give you our review, our official review of Happy Gilmore 2. Let's wrap up with these phone calls, Rich. Yeah, let's do it. Who we got? Who do we got? Danny G on line one. Let's go down. Yeah. Let's start with Matt in West Virginia. Hey, Matt, you're on the show. Hey, what's up, guys? First time caller. Hey, buddy. So I have two points to this. First one being that I kind of agree with people being soft. I was watching a Mariners game earlier this year, and George Kerr is only going to throw about 60 to 70 pitches in the game. And I feel like I throw that many playing Wii Sports baseball through three innings, so that didn't make any sense to me. But my second point is, like, with other sports, too, specifically, like football, I Understand, protecting the money maker in your quarterbacks. But then you lose that next man up mentality with stories of like Case Kim or Nick Foles in 2017 where no one expected them to do anything. They both end up in the conference championship, you know. Yeah, you said something about the first, the first, he said a guy scheduled to pitch 60 pitches and then they pull him. Cavino. I don't want to, I also don't want to sound like the new age guy that's like, you just don't get it. But now I don't think a guy that's crafty, that throws 88 to 92 even gets the look because baseball's designed now for extra base hits and pitchers need to throw 100. It's honestly, it's, it's a blame that. Blame the system because some young recruit. Yeah, that's crafty. It's, it's, it's an honest speculation. It's, it's fair to speculate the weekend after you see these greats get in and you look at their numbers, you know, because it really was a different game then. Hey, the game has changed that much. If that's the. Then that's the takeaway. Yeah. I mean, I'm just saying, a young kid now, unless you throw a certain. Unless you throw 97, you're not even getting a look. So they're conditioned to blow out their arms, essentially. Who else? We got? Danny G. All right, let's move on to Bakersfield, California. Andrew. What up, Andrew? What's up, Drew? What's up, guys? I've just been thinking about the pitch clock and how much does that wear on the pitcher and make it more of a. And aerobic sport, kind of more like soccer, you know, you haven't heard of a. Pitchers complain that much though, but you really haven't. There wasn't that much pushback. They got accustomed to it. And I think the fans have reaped the benefits of that, which is, I don't know, feels more important to me. I think the games are a lot better and quicker. Yeah. And you know what, Kavino? It's like moving faster. They talk about how back in the day, if you want to be that guy that talked about generations back in the day, games are short. They just got long and now they're shorter again. But like when our parents were watching baseball and the old timey times and our grandpappy's. Those games moved along. They move. So they're fine. Who else? We got Danny. All right. Scott in Milwaukee. Hey, Scott, how you doing? Fellows, what up? I just want to tell you guys, you guys are incredible. I listen to you every day. Thanks, man. Thanks, man. I just want to thank you guys. You are spot on with Cece Sabathia. You guys probably don't have time to bring up his stat line for the time he was in Milwaukee. He put. He basically put new life into our franchise. If you take a look at all the complete games he had in about not even a three month period. He was pitching on three days of ref. A lot of times there's nobody does. And he had no contract on hand. He was free agent the next year. He's just unbelievable. Nobody will ever do again what he did in that short period of time. Just amazing. In Milwaukee. He had seven complete games. The guy. Yeah, he did it all, man. Yo, he was 11 and 2 with Milwaukee in that little stint. You know, what a crazy stat about that is, Camino. As you and I both look at his baseball reference. Yeah. All those years are Cleveland. All those years with the Yankees. We all remember that, like half a season with Milwaukee because it was so impactful. We're talking about a guy that pitched from the time he was 20 till 38. And we still remember a. A summer, one summer of this guy's life where he pitched to a 1.65 ERA. He pitched like every third day. And he put life into an organization. It just shows you. You always make the analogy that Nirvana wasn't around that long, but the impact they had for rock music was amazing. The Beatles were only around for a handful of years. CeCe in Milwaukee was like a summer. Yeah. And a guy, I think he's a prime example of someone you just took for granted. You're like, yeah, he's good. He's good, whatever. No, he's in today's world. He's phenomenal. That's why he's in the hall of Fame. Again, back to the phones. Thanks for the call, man. 87799 on Fox. Yeah. So now Bruno and Brooklyn wants to weigh in on Happy Gilmore 2. As we. As we find out who in the studio hated that movie, let's move on. Because this weekend consisted of, you know, trash tv, a lot of that. Again, the Baseball hall of Fame. Congrats to all the superstars that made it and Happy Gilmore to. It's crazy to think that the original came out in 1996. Right. We're all in different places now. It's a different world, different life. Yeah. When they did the flashbacks, didn't Adam Sandler look so young? Dude, Danny. My wife and I had a pause and look it up. Julie Bowen was 25. Sandler and Ben Stiller were 29 when they filmed that movie. So like, we think of them as like, back then when you were a little kid, you weren't thinking that. They were only in their 20s. I felt like there were grown ups when you were a teenager watching Happy Gilmore. But yeah, Julie Bowen was 25. And again, Stiller and the Sandman were both under 30 when they filmed that movie. So I waited all weekend to watch and then finally got around to it yesterday. And man, I laughed out loud multiple times. I got to watch it one more time, Rich, because I don't know, my mind was all over the place, but I was enjoying it. I did watch the whole thing, but I had some real laugh out loud moments. There was lots of great cameos. Rotten Potatoes gave it what, 70 something percent, which was pretty high. And then the popcorn meter was also pretty high. When we checked it on Friday, it was at 76%. We'll see what it's at today. 65% gave it a 70 something. But look, fans have always supported Sandler. The critics never really gave him the thumbs up. Happy Gilmore, the original was a dumb movie, but we liked it. So I think, and I'll make it short and sweet, if you didn't like it because you're gonna say it was dumb and stupid, what the hell were you expecting? I feel like that's on you. Were you expecting Shawshank Redemption? It's Happy Gilmore. Yeah, it's Happy Gilmore. Were you expecting Goodfellas? Like, Scorsese's not involved here. This is Adam Sandler movie. It's more of a tribute to the original because there's so many Easter eggs and cameos and shout outs to the original. That's more of a tribute to anything. But I found it to be really enjoyable, Rich. And I'm. I'm sort of a grumpy guy. Do you know what the total count was, Danny? Gc if you could guess how many cameos there were in this movie. Oh, man, there had to have been like 50 cameos. I would. The number 74 random appearances from people in this movie. There was a cameo from Cameo where. I mean, if the guy was alive, he'd probably be in it, right? It's a code word. Yeah, he's Neil DeGrasse Tyson now. So you gotta believe that from all the professional golfers to Eminem to Travis Kelce to Bad Money, like it was the return of Haley Joel Osment who was the funny ass supervillain? I thought he was great. He was great. I thought it was so dumb that it was funny. And that's what you expect from a Happy Gilmore. And I know for fact there's two criticisms sitting in the studio. One of them, Spots, I don't know if Dan Beyer agrees or not because Dan Byers a big golf guy. We'll find out. But Spot earlier today said, too many cameos, too many golfers, too many unknown people in your world. Like Spot thought it was over flooded with cameos. I think. Yeah. They tried to throw shiny objects at you to distract you from the mediocre movie that it was. And I know Sam, but I like the movie. I love the movie. Sam hated it. Sam, what was your issue with it? I can't say the same. I thought the movie was boring. I don't think it was. I didn't. Boring? Yeah, it was very boring. It was just a lot like, listen, I went into this movie, I wanted to like it. I love Adam Sandler. I love the original Happy Gilmore. I. But I just thought that the cameos there was. It was so. There were so many. They were just covering up, like a really mediocre substandard plot. The writing was mid. The acting was mid. Like, it was just ridiculous. The back half of that movie. I turned it off with 35 minutes left. Oh, I turned it off. I finished it Sunday night. This was Friday night. I watched it. So I finished it. You couldn't even make it through. I couldn't make it through in my first. So I would say, like, you were like, I might go back and watch it again. I would never watch this movie again. I don't think it needed to be made. It should not have been made. It would have done more service to the original if it was not made. Some fun nostalgia. For sure. Nostalgia was when used in this way. What did you expect? But what did you expect? I had low expectations. I expected to laugh out loud. I didn't think this movie was funny. I even thought the Kelsey part. Oh, God, he's attacked. Yeah, but his reaction made me laugh. That's just the thing. You can't just flip the movie with. With all these cameos. It's just. Sam, let me tell you this. Yeah. Before I watch Happy Gilmore 2, I actually did the homework assignment, which I told everyone, which was watch the first one so it's fresh in your mind before you watch the second one and you forget how dumb the first one was. But it had original ideas. It had this Idea of this outsider who wanted to be a hockey player becomes a golfer. This was just like regurgitating the same crap. And then this, the. The whole, like, maxi golf part of it, and the hips thing, the hip flexing thing was so outlandish. I thought that was so funny. I didn't. And I thought that was hilarious. The fact that. The fact that the extra torque. And let's not give away spoilers. Although I don't know how you can give spoilers away for a movie that's already spoiled, but that's beside the point. I thought that stuff was so ridiculous. It was. There's nothing funny about it. I just was like, I wanted to laugh. There was only one part that actually made me chuckle. Nothing made me belly laugh out loud. Well, that's another part of the discussion, Sam. You can't spoil something that we waited 30 years for. Everyone talking about this movie and then. I know, but Netflix. Yeah. Expect us not to react right. The Monday after. No, I know. I just. If people are listening, they're like, oh, the hip. They don't know what the hip thing is. They don't know what maxi golf is. You know, then shame on them. You had. You had Friday, Saturday, Sunday to watch Cavino's, right? I mean, this was. I'm not telling you how to get a babysitter. Go to the theater. This was on Netflix. It was at your fingertips. It's been 30 years in the making. Yeah. If you didn't watch Gilmore this weekend, shame on you. We usually wait one week before we talk about something everybody watched. But in this case, we make an exception. But it feels like, what are we not going to react to Sunday Night Football like, you know what I mean? Like, it's a day after millions of people tuned in. It'd be shame on us if we didn't acknowledge it. This is the part of the conversation, then, where I say, man, can you believe Happy died at the very end? Oh, you blew it. Everybody awaits the opinion of Dan Beyer because he's a man of reason. He's not a movie guy. He's not a movie guy. He's never really easily impressed. And he's a man of golf, but he's also a man of golf. And I know. I just. Knowing Danny has a great sense of humor, I imagine he appreciates Adam Sandler. So, DB here we go. What's your take on Happy Gilmore 2? As the world reacts, the world, much like everything Dan seems to be divided on. Was it the worst thing ever, or was it fun Can I give it to you on the other side? You know what? Please do. Okay. All right. I can't wait. It'll be the final update. That's what she said. Xander Schoffley, right? All right, come on, let's get the update from the drink. What did you say about a fork? Dan Byer. Guys, big news of the day is Colorado at football Coach Deion Sanders revealed that he battled bladder cancer this off season. Flanked by his doctors, Deion and the doctors had this message as the coach is now cancer free. We performed a full robot assisted laparoscopic bladder removal and creation of a new bladder. And I am pleased to report that the results from the surgery are that he is cured from the cancer. Rick was aware of what was transpiring. He's been a one and down there. Just a blessing. Came to Texas to see me as well. Colorado having their first camp of the preseason today. Deion is a full go as again he is cancer free. Some news from Major League Baseball. Cubs gave president of baseball ops Jed Hoyer a contract extension. Tigers acquired a couple of Twins pitchers, including Chris Paddock in a from Minnesota Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper allegedly sworn the face of baseball commission Rob Manfred following a meeting in the team's clubhouse last week. ESPN says the confrontation occurred during an hour long meeting with the team with Harper feeling Manfred was talking about the possibility of a salary cap in the game. Guardians closer Emmanuel Classe was placed on non disciplinary leave as he is under investigation as part of baseball's probe into gambling. And in the NFL, Broncos gave Cortland Sutton a four year extension as the wide receiver gets a deal with $92 million. Titans released former first round pick wide receiver Tren Burks. Steelers let go of Cordero Patterson Guys, back to you. Thank you DB. So man, Happy Gilmore 2 is all the buzz, all the rage. It was 20 minutes longer than the original. That's another thing I did pick up on. But I thought it was a fun goofy movie. Exactly what it was supposed to be. And you know what? We'll make you wait for DB because I'm dying to hear what he thinks he has. He has great golf perspective too because a lot of the cameos Rich, unless they address them personally, I wasn't certain of all these people. Well, keep in mind this. You know what? We're going to take your feedback next. Here's what I want to ask you is before we get to our games and some NFL, if you watch Happy Gilmore too, which I'd imagine is most people, what was your favorite part there had to be. See, I was Sam left at nothing. No, I have one part where I chuckled and I'll share that with you later. All right, perfect. We'll do it all next right here.

And right there in the mix, Danny, your Dodgers with San Diego, what four games behind them. So it's just really awesome right now. National League Baseball. No, I was, no, I was going to say we could go to. I was saying for his big hot take on Tappy Gilmore. I just, I just figured the National League was worth noting that there's five teams that are like within a game. Are you all right? I feel like your brain a little delay or something. I put the phone caller down because I thought you wanted to talk Dodgers really quick. You ever like lose signal in your car and then the music just picks up again? That's like Rich's brain just now.
