Now we're having a big party at Circa in Las Vegas the weekend of June 20th, 21st. And then we got loot bags for everybody. Man, I'm bringing a pinata. It's going to be fantastic. Full on fiesta. We're doing our Fox Sports radio show that hiring Captain Crossbones to do magic tricks. I can't wait for that. Yeah, June 20th, we'll be at the pool stadium swim at Circa and then bunch of parties and events all weekend. I got a sugar carbs and alcohol. Oh, it's going to be that. And I got this band coming. They have a really cool song, goes like this. Billy Past the third grade. O what a glorious day. Oh, past the third grade. The Billy Madison. You're supposed to sell this event, not have people run to Reno. All right, well, guess what? It's going to be at Circa in Las Vegas and hundreds, thousands of people are going to show up. Beautiful women in skimpy bikinis. I mean, Spot is going to be there in a speedo. I mean, we're having a huge pool party broadcast. It's going to be food, it's going to be fun, going to be giveaways. And again, we have years and years of listeners showing up, friends and family, people from Fox Sports Radio. And this is your official Invite. It's going to be at Circa and Rich. How great is Circa? I mean, from the pictures I'm seeing and the videos people are sending me from Circa Swedish sportsbook. The pool's insane. So, hey, listen, little summer getaway. Come hang with Covino and Rich. In fact, let's take a couple of phone calls, wrap up that superstar conversation. And I know Tripp in Vegas. Yo, Trip, you're going to be there in Vegas hanging, right? Hey, good morning, guys. I thought y' all were great at 2 to 4. You're even better at 6 to 9 in the morning. Let's spread that rumor, man. Thank you, Tripp. Let's keep that going. You know why? Because you know what makes a superstar? Sustainability. We want to keep doing this. Let's go. Well, what I was going to say is, you know, it's not only the fact that they rise to the occasion. Everybody expects them to, and then they do. And the person I was going to say would be Tiger Woods. Has he ever missed a putt that mattered? The great, great point. Hey, Tripp, I appreciate you. Can't wait to see you in Vegas. June 20th, 21st, 22nd, circa. We have cool events planned out. That was a slam dunk of a call. It really was, because I even wrote that down. I was sitting here thinking, what did I write down, Rich? Not only meeting, but exceeding expectations. That's another major superstar quality. Because how many people have a reputation and they don't live up to it? You have to live up to that reputation, then exceed it for a sustained amount of time. Have clutch moments. All these things combined, playing for big markets, making a market a big market, you know, making it somewhere to be. All these things matter when actually being a superstar. And marketability. Yeah. Yes. But. But again, that's not the only thing. Because we mentioned Kurt Schilling. I do think Kurt Schilling's a superstar. He just wasn't a marketable. He wasn't that likable of a guy to the public. We liked him. Yeah, we've interviewed him. I thought it was cool. You know what I wanted to wrap up the NBA chat with. We'll do one more phone call. And then I thought about whether or not the Knicks could recover. And I have a. Honestly, the perfect analogy to answer that question. Perfect. Kurt Hennig. He's the Kurt Hennig of analogies, by the way. Kurt Hennig is superstar or not a superstar. He was an intercontinental champion, but was he superstar? And every one of us spits our gum out and hits it with Our hand because of Mr. Perfect. I think superstar memorable. Mo in Tempe. What's up, Mo? Hey, morning, guys. How you doing? What's up, brother? I got one guy who actually didn't necessarily wasn't a superstar, but he came through clutch. I'm surprised nobody's brought him up. Robert Ori. Yeah, Danny mentioned him last hour, but that's a great one. You're right. He's. He's big shot, Bobby. I mean, when it mattered, he was there. He had superstar moments. Yeah. And I pointed out he also had seven rings. Right. So he had the rings, he had the moments, but it doesn't make you a superstar. So technically, it was just coming from a bitter place. So when you hear Stephen A. Say this about Halliburton, you're like, all right, Knicks fan, I get it. You know, that was a knife to the heart, a mole around moment. He tore your heart out. All Knicks fans were upset. So you know where the. Where the thought is coming from. Because you have clutch moments doesn't make you a superstar. But he's technically right. It's a combination of all these things that make you a superstar. Robert Ori, seven rings. Bill Belichick, one plus eight, whatever that means. Means he could be getting engaged or he has one. Or he has one ring in his pants. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Maybe it's not on his hands. We don't know. I don't know. Can the Knicks recover? Is a question you're seeing post. And again, I said it's if they go down two. Oh, now you're. You're, you know, got your finger on that panic button. But they win tonight, it's 1:1. Then it becomes a best of five, and you're just sort of handing home court advantage over to Indiana. As you head to Indiana for game three and four, obviously, can the Knicks recover? Well, answer this question. Have you ever been with a woman for the first time? No. And something goes wrong. You had maybe one too many whiskeys. You got high. Something was doing you. You were nervous. Don't worry, Sam. We're going to Vegas. You might get a shot. You might not have performed the way you wanted to. Okay, pressure's high. Is there a way to recover from that? Oh, I know. Because that's the equivalent of, like, really blowing it the first time out. Like, I'm telling. I'm usually better. Or like, I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong. I don't have. Yeah, because it could stay in your head and I think that's what people are saying about the Knicks here. Mentally. Mentally. Can you. Once the thought is in your head, it's all mental after that. And it's hard to come back from something like that. So I do understand that. I had a bad moment, Rich, that lasted about four months until I finally recovered. You know we're on the radio, right? Oh, wait. I mean, allegedly. I heard a guy tell me this story one time, but I heard from someone else. If you had a performance issue with a woman, right? You're like the first time you're with her. Danny's right. That's the analogy of what the Knicks are feeling now. Like you play a little scared because you saw what Halliburton did. Like, of course, these guys have all the confidence in the world in themselves. They're the ultimate competitors. But in the back of their minds, if they have that visual of Halliburton with the choke sign or like they know what the possibilities are. Once that gets in your head, it's like, ah, you're, you're playing tentative at that point. Maybe they're playing scared. You, oh no. Maybe the Knicks need to do what guys do in the situation, which is go in the bathroom and give yourself a pep talk. I mean there is what's going on here, some sort of version of that. So the Knicks tonight, we'll see. Do they have the ability to recover? My answer is the Knicks absolutely not only win. I think they cover the, what, a five and a half, six points. I think the style in which they lost, which makes it a little tougher. If it was just a regular loss, a blowout would have been easier to come back from, to be honest. It was the way they lost, the way they had it and they let it slip away. Yeah, I was right. Five and a half. They're favored by five and a half. I think Knicks double digit win tonight. I think they remind everyone that game one was a terrible we let this get away moment. You know, when you see everybody talking about it and you start processing what actually happened, you start digesting the moments. There has become a bit of a debate on did the Knicks blower or did the Pacers just win it? Well, with those missed free throws down the stretch, you could say the Knicks blew it. Yeah, a couple of those free throws, but it's not like they were scoreless in the final four minutes or something, you know, not just, not just the missed free throws. Rich. Remember how sloppy they were with getting the ball inbound shot like over 50% that night. Though 51% or something like that. Danny, I think they played really good. The thing that threw me off was the. The easy two they gave Indiana in overtime. That. What. Yeah, they had some dead moments, but, dude, Pacers were just hitting every shot. But if the Knicks didn't blow it, then why did Halliburton do the choke sign? He said they blew it because he was just waiting to pull that out. He was. Obviously because of Reggie Miller. He was just waiting for a moment, but, you know, because it was a major comeback. But do you credit the comeback to the Knicks blowing it or to the Pacers just being on fire? Neesmith had a lot to do. Yeah. When Neesmith is hitting. What was it, six of eight, but five threes in a row, man, I credit how hot they were. Don't you worry. The Knicks have given themselves the bathroom pep talk. Yeah, they're going to come out tonight, ladies and deliver. I really do. I think that. I think the Knicks are too good. And, you know, I. The only thing that would make me think otherwise was the body language of Jalen Brunson after game one. It looked like a guy that failed in the bedroom. It really was like that. Jackie zoned out. Look where you got to ask yourself. He was in shock. If, if, if he's gotten past that and he's like, I. Game two, let's go. I think. I think we're going to get what we want, which is seven games. And, oh, my goodness, could game one be what made all the difference? We shall see. But, hey, game two tonight. Get ready for that. Now, something else I wanted to get to. This is a really interesting story because no one cares more about their hair than Steve Covina. Why do you think I got a hat on this morning and have, you know, proper time waking up extra early for DP to put real efforts into it. This guy puts as much effort into his hair as Pauly D Did on the Jersey shore in the 2000s. As much as Stamos cared about his hair on Full House, the hair, by the way, not to kiss ass, as my dad would say, hey, why. Why you going on the radio kissing ass? Why you kissing ass? And the best example is if it's a holiday, like Memorial Day weekend, right? I'll talk to my parents. Like, what are you doing Memorial Day weekend? If I go visit, like, my girlfriend's family, what are you doing? Kissing ass. What are you doing? Kissing ass. Not to kiss ass, but you ever see somebody with, like, impeccable hair? Our boss, Don, has an impeccable coif. Like not a hair out of place. Like, it feels like he's straight from the salon every time we see the guy. You mean Dan Marino? Yeah. No, but seriously, it's like, my goodness, that hair. Not a hair. Is that my man? Look at my hair. My man commands respect is the point. The last super bowl, some ladies came up for a selfie with Don and we're like, wow. They know that he's a big wig at I heart. It's hard. He's usually. You know how it's like eyes up for him. It's like eyes down here because I'm always staring at his hair. Eyes down here, Rich. What? Did we find out why they wanted the picture? We were like, why do these women want a picture of their boss? They thought he was Dan Marino. Yeah. Yeah. Are you Dan Marino? He has that presence about him. It's the hair. I'm telling you, it is. You know, so I bring up hair because a lot of people care about their hair. And there are guys that are loading up on planes, going to Turkey, coming back all bandaged up, getting hair replacement surgery. Which, by the way, you know why They've offered a one stop shop sort of deal. Yeah. And that has become the place to go. Like, hey, for six GS, you stay in Turkey for a week. Flights included, everything included. And you get your hair restoration done. Yeah. It's become like an all inclusive sort of thing. And go to place for everybody. And listen, I'll be honest, I can't mock it because if I were losing my hair, I would absolutely investigate this. But you might not have to. Did you see this story out of ucla? Has nothing to do with hoops or baseball or anything else UCLA is known for. Get this. UCLA scientists have now identified a small molecule that when prompted, could waken up long, slumbering, but undamaged hair follicles. Come on, bro. They think things like Propecia and Rogaine and all this stuff is child's play compared to this innovation they've come up with. And they think that gone are the days of baldness. They think they have a breakthrough and they think this is a fake news. Fake Instagram, TikTok news. I thought it was fake TikTok news too, but it's all over the place that they think they have followed this again, this. This path of a molecule that when applied to a protein. I'm not gonna get into the nerdy stuff. They also unveiled an alien in Mexico. I don't know if you saw that. The follicle stem cells. Wasn't that cake? Will I know it wasn't cake. It was an actual alien. Be dormant. So here's my dumb thought, okay? And by the way, hold on. You know this coincides with another trending story in the past week or so that toupees are coming back because they have made them way better. Yeah, toupees, the quality of them are much better. And Rich, you're back in style. Yeah, yeah, Rich. Yeah, shut up. Yeah, Rich. There's a headline here that says UCLA is becoming the new turkey. I'm telling you, this is going for FDA approval. And as of right now, not to play stat boy. What's up, Tony Reali? To play stat boy, I guess. Rogaine and Propecia, those are the brand names, but those are the two different style of products. Yeah, Minoxidil and for something with an F. Yeah, that one are the two FDA approved hair loss products. Don't pretend like you don't know me. No, no. What's it like for Denimine or something? Whatever it is. Oh, is that your alarm on regular days? Oh yeah, that's my. Let me put on some minoxidil reminder. Yeah, usually around this time when I'm waking up for our normal show, I throw some minoxidil on the head. You mean Gilgius? Yes, yes. So my question is, if they invent a hair loss product that could wake up dormant hair, do you think finasteride? That's the other one. That and minoxidil. If this gets FDA approval, they're saying this could be a game changer. Do you think all your bald friends and family members would take this? And the idea of one of your friends or family members being bald would be one of those old timey time things. Like remember back in the 2000s and the 90s and 80s when there were bald guys? Uncle Hank shows up to Thanksgiving with a pompadour. Oh my God. Then I started thinking about a funny question. What famous bald athletes would you get a kick out of seeing with hair? Like what if Charles Barkley, all the guys on NBA on tnt. Yeah, what if. Like what if every member of that panel came up with all of a sudden, you know, Barkley, flat tops, Barclays, including Ernie Johnson. That's so funny, bro. Ryan Hollins would have the last laugh. Oh yes, speaking of ucla, he might have the inside scoop on that. Hey, that's a great question. I think you already nailed it though. I think you gave the best answer actually, Sam, one up this whole panel of NBA Yeah, the whole panel would be hilarious. But I think Charles barking as I look at Tony Wilbond too. Michael Wilbond. I'm looking at Wilbon on, on tv thinking, yo, look at him. Imagine if he had a flat top or Kornheiser. He has a lot of Baldo Ronaldo. What about every white guy, you know that shaves their head and grows a beard and that becomes their look? Alex Caruso. Yeah, but dude, what if, what if every guy. Because that is a major look. Because, you know, gone are the days of the guy rocking the George Jefferson or George Costanza, like the ring around the head. Have you seen Stephen A. Smith? Respectfully, that just keeps going back. He's moving on up. I'm just wondering. All those guys that have the modern day, you know, no shame in the game, but all the bald guys, you know that look at like Adam Silver on TV right now. You think, you think the commissioner of the NBA chooses that look? Do you think he wants to look like a skinny Dr. Evil? Everybody we look at on TV right now is bald. It's so funny now that you pointed out. So imagine it's a good look. There's nothing wrong with the bald over nose or some. It's a good. Well, it's better than the Costanza comb over that. We grew up like Tom Thibodeau, kind of hanging on to the little scraps. Here's the thing, though. Here's the thing. Most younger white guys now do like a manicured beard and it stops it like the sideburn and they just, they, they bic it. They, they, you know, they do the shaved head. So I gotta ask, are those guys all gonna have a pompadour and look like Field Yates? People have just grown to own that look. Like Charles Barkley would be really funny to see because we just know him so well now as a, as a bald dude. What if, what if Adam Silver Picture this. I'm going to put one person's hair on another. What if Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA, comes back in a year from now? He's like, I've been visiting UCLA and he has like Trevor Lawrence hair. Dude, I wouldn't even know what his hair color would be. I know Silver. No idea because he's Adam Silver. But here's the thing. I don't think people would be that quick to. Well, then again, when you see how Zempic has swept the world, you don't know like what sort of side effect. There's always like a give and take, right? Yeah, you got Great hair. But now your. Your wiener malfunctions. Everyone in the future, you don't know what's going to happen as a result. Really? Everyone in the future is skinny with long hair. Oh, so that's the future. Have you guys ever seen the movie Idiocracy? So 500 years in the future, we've mastered a few things, making sure we get what plants crave. Brondo. It's got electrolytes. It's got electrolytes. And everybody. Nobody's bald because we got. They. The scientists didn't do anything else for society, but they mastered hair loss based on that. And everyone's wearing Crocs and everyone's an idiot, but no one has is bald. The side story to that, Sam, Idiocracy, is you're doing the croc story here. Yeah. When they were making the movie, they're like, well, in the future, let's find the weakest shoe that could ever be the ugliest shoe that ever was. Ugly, cheap, and mass produced. And they picked Crocs for the movie. And turns out because it was their budget, exactly what we're wearing, they didn't have it in the budget. They needed something for the. Because they had a small budget. Mike Judge's movie in the future, it's a bunch of skinny dudes on Ozempic with great hair wearing Crocs and they're all drinking bronze. They're all idiots. Right? And they're all idiots. So who would look the weirdest? Is this something you would do? Did Mike Crouch have access to a time machine? Yes, probably. He's a bit prophetic. So how do you feel about it? Yeah, you know what, Rich? Something about losing your hair. Like some people just roll with it. For me, it's like, ah, man, I've had a few scares. A few scares. Do you think a side effect might be we all get Travis Kelsey back? Oh, your hair in the wrong place. I call that. You know what I call that? Danny G. Growing up, I would call that the rough patch. My dad always had that patch of hair right above his ass crack. I used to pray as like a teenage kid. Like, please don't let me get that. Can I please. I still pray. Can I play this short little clip from Big Daddy? Which I just. It's just men getting older, it goes like this every day. I get a little bit older and balder and fatter. I mean, that just sums up your life as you get older as a man. And you know what? Thanks to modern medicine, there's honor in the fight against those things, Sam. But if there's a way that every grown man could keep his hair if he wanted. I just wonder if all the athletes that you know and love with shaved heads, all the celebrities, the rock stars, all the white dudes, like I said, that have a beard and a shaved head, all the brothers that have that clean shave, like a Michael Jordan. Are we going to see more flat tops? And we can see more, like I said, like dudes with Trevor Lawrence locks. Would that be the outcome in the future? In the future, like, you know, we've made this comment before that old people, for the most part, are never going to look the same again. Your grandma was wearing muumu's, Your mom is now her age and she like takes care of herself, right? Maybe in the future we're not going to see bald people the way we see them today everywhere. It's not that it's a bad look, it's that you now have other options in the works. Like we said, toupees are getting better. And thanks to ucla, they've discovered this, this molecule that reverses the process. You know what it is, man? In the future, it's already, you know, a saying, but you're not really ugly, you're just broke, right? I think all these things that are, quote, things that could mess with your confidence, hair loss, height, weight, all these things are in the future. I feel like you're going to be so correctable. But let's forget, is there a better answer than Sam's or just Charles Barkley? For me, that's, that's a really good one. I was thinking, is there an athlete that would look the craziest with hair? I was thinking of Bruin legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Imagine him showing up one day with Bone Thugs in Harmony here looking. That's funny. But I can still kind of picture him with hair. But then you remember him balding too, right? Remember, I just think of him as a bald guy because even when I watched the Showtime Lakers, he was bald. But he had the bald spot for a while. He had the John Cena, the John Cena thing going on for a minute. You know, people noticed that. It's a tough subject, believe me. Sensitive subject. I get it, Casey. But there is hope. I'm talking about there's hope. Thank you, Sam. So, Danny G, you talk about Kareem coming out with like quest love hair one day, like just randomly. I mean, he had that back in the day in a big after. So you know what? Still kind of Picture it. We got a bunch coming up. We're going to play game, last one standing, give away some prizes. We're going to talk about prioritizing family versus work. There's an Alex core story. We'll get to a bunch of stuff but if you have a better answer than I was Sam, we'll give you credit. Yeah. Thank you. The whole crew of the NBA on tnt. I'm not sure I ever noticed that they are all baldo Ronaldo. Is there a better answer? What athlete, celebrity or person that is bald would you want to see with hair? If this hair procedure out of UCLA is a really mention Rich before we move on, if it gets FDA approval, thus saying that the timeline, the success rate, well, the FDA is one of those things if, if you trade like penny stocks and all that FDA approval could take like years to do. But, but they're saying that this blows minoxidil and like the propecias and Rogains out of the water. They're saying the results of their studies are like guys are actually getting their hair back. So your thoughts? We'll take it next. Kavino and Rich in for Dan Patrick. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

In 2020, a group of young women in a tidy suburb of New York City found themselves in an AI fueled nightmare. Someone was posting photos. It was just me naked. Well, not me, but me with someone else's body parts on my body. Parts that looked exactly like my own. I wanted to throw up. I wanted to scream. It happened in Levittown, New York. But reporting this series took us through the darkest corners of the Internet and to the front lines of a global battle against deep fake pornography. This should be illegal, but what is this? This is a story about a technology that's moving faster than the law and about vigilantes trying to stem the tide. I'm Margie Murphy. And I'm Olivia Carvell. This is Levittown, a new podcast from iHeartra Heart podcasts Bloomberg and Kaleidoscope. Listen to Levittown on Bloomberg's Big Take podcast. Find it on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Got a devil's haircut in my mind, man, I was Sam with the Beck. Good choice, Iowa Samuel. When that pompadou grows back, you might need that sweet trim up. Barbara should be happy about this. Yeah, exactly. You missed the story a few minutes ago. Here on Kavino and Rich in for Dan Patrick. UCLA scientists have a breakthrough where hair loss. This is not like some, you know, bigfoot story. This is a real story. I feel like it is, though. They're saying hair loss could be a thing of the past for men in the future. If this Gets FDA approval. And if it does, we were saying who would look the funniest with hair? And I would say I've had the number one answer. If your kids come out looking like Teen Wolf, there's some sort of side effect. You have little sasquatch babies. Panel of the NBA on tnt. If they all had hair. Another one, though, I think Adam Silver, commissioner of the NBA with hair. It's too good to be true. Rich, I'm not buying into it. Not. Not until I see it. Think of your buddies who. Their one insecurity is their hairline. Not until I see Fox Sports Radio's Jason Smith come in with a full on. The. Full on Johnny Bravo. Yeah, yeah. What a. With a Johnny suede pompadour. I want to see some of that. So who would look the funniest? Yeah, Big Mike, who runs this place. Who? Mike? How about Jeff? How about Jeff Bezos with a flat top? Yeah. It doesn't make you. It doesn't make you grow glorious hair. It just makes you grow your regular hair back. I mean, that's a great one. Jeff Bezos. You know, you saw the pictures of his, like, thinning, weak hair when he was, like, early Amazon guy before he was the multi billionaire. I guess the best answer is the guy you have a hard time remembering with hair at all. Like, he's been bald for your whole life. See, that's why I said Kareem, because I don't. I wasn't around when he had hair. Yeah, but I could picture him with hair. You can? Yeah, I picture him balding. Like. Yeah, like that. Maybe really old basketball cards our grandparents had. Yo, Danny. Milwaukee, right? You and I both watched the same dumb reality shows with our wives. Do you remember on Love is Blind? It's a random reference, but they had the reunion, and one of the guys came back with, like, a glorious mane. And everyone couldn't get over the fact that this guy had, like, a short. I was like, you know, like a regular fade. That he comes back to the reunion show and, well, he was trying to look good for his wife. Right. He was into style. I remember that guy. I know you. I know you're talking about, actually. All right, well, hey, good luck with your hair and hopefully have a great Memorial Day weekend. I got to ask you, they're saying box office records could be broken this weekend. Oh, with Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible. But you know what? Our buddy spot, you know, the. Know it all Klug shies a spot. Klug shiser, But I call him the other Day, Carl Schlugan. Carl, Schlug is not the real word if you're a know it all. But you got, like, a pompous attitude like, Spot, you're a klug shiser. Now, Spot, you were right. He goes, your daughter is not the only kid that likes Lilo and Stitch. It's going to be number one. And you know what, Spot? Kids movies always do very well. They're predicting Lilo and Stitch can make like 150. And they're saying, Tom Cruise, Mission Impossible, the Final reckoning, might make 50 to 75 million. And. But they're saying combined with Sinners and Final destination, which made 50 mil last weekend, they're saying it might be the biggest Memorial Day movie theater breadwinner of all time. Well, on that note, I just want to remind you, we do it every Friday, and we're going to do it here on the Dan Patrick show weekend, hobnobbing what you need to watch in the world of sports and entertainment, either at the theater or at home. So I'm staying home because I got something in mind that I'm gonna watch. Okay, let's say what's up to Ralph in Queens. What's up, Ralph? Yo, Ralph. What up? Hey, what's up? How you guys doing? What's up, man? Let's go. Mets is what's up. Queens. Yeah, yeah. Okay, but that's our. Great. But we're here to talk about bald guys. Let me tell you, a great tragedy of the modern era of Bald Guys is two goats, LeBron and Tom Brady, running away from their bald reality. Like they should have been proud. That would have changed the game for us bald guys. Yeah, I see what you're saying. LeBron is Tom Brady. Did he get some surgery, you imagine or what? If you look at him early in his career in the NFL, his hairline looks like it's kind of retreating a little bit, and then it's like there's like a little stoppage and then like a reversing. Of course, I think he's had a little something done. Maybe a little Matthew McConaughey sprinkle something in there. All right, all right, all right. They do a little something. It looks good. Brady looks good. Yeah. No shame in that. But there's also no shame in hanging on and trying to do whatever's available. I know there's a mentality of just roll with it and take it home, as they say. But yeah, imagine Scott Van Pelt showing up with a full on. With a full on quaff. A comb over. Yeah, that'd be like a parted apart look. But I don't, I don't hate on Tom Brady or anybody that, you know they say Justin Bieber did it. I mean most celebrities with money probably do everything they can save it. Sometimes you got the LeBron's of the world that try extra hard and there's nothing they could do. I think it was a great move for Portnoy Barstool but he said he never messed with his hairline, just the back. He was thinning and bald. I'll give you one celebrity now that's losing his hair. One athlete that I think would do this because I think it'd totally keep his look. Because if you fast forward five plus years, Major League baseball, my dude, one of my favorites, Polar Bear Pete Alonzo, he's got that A.J. pruszynski like thin sort of hair going away. And I just, you know, Polar Bear Pete later in his career, I guarantee he's the guy that has a shaved head and beard. But again, just because you have money doesn't mean that problem's going to be solved for whatever reason. Like Jake Paul has pointed that out. The dude's thinning big time. That's why he's got that broccoli heads sort of thing going on in the front sometimes. Just doesn't work for everybody. Well, UCLA says they got the trip for you. They got the solution coming up. We got a bunch we're going to get to here. We're going to play last one standing, give away some prizes. A deep thought that has to do with personal life versus work and where you prioritize. Alex Cora Red Sox Manager in the news. I think the story is worth bringing up, but I had a question because you know how we talked earlier in the show about people getting mad when things are discontinued and then you ask yourself, when was the last time you went there? Remember when someone said, oh, they're shutting down Red Lobster. And you're like, really? Red Lobster? And you ask yourself, well, Kavino, when was the last time we went to Red Lobster? I don't eat crustaceans. So dude, they're shutting down Chili's. Well, when was the last time you went there? You can't get mad if you don't support it. Chili's is fine. Don't, don't wish bad things. I was gonna say, what happened to Chili's? It's still stand. Toys R Us would be a good example. And you mentioned before Twinkies. Well, when's the last time you bought A Twinkie. And then they brought it back. But people get outraged for the cancellation of certain things, but meanwhile, you're not supporting it. Yeah, man, they're shutting down some more Best Buy Circuit Cities out of business. Well, you're the one buying TVs on Amazon. You're the one, you know, just sitting on your phone, so you have yourself to blame. And it made me think of. Sometimes it's just a business misstep, though. It's not a matter of not supporting, like Joanne's recently is out of business, but it's because a bigger company bought them out and made some bad moves. Yeah, that's true. So sometimes it's not that, like, man, I love Joann's. Hey, if you need arts and craft supplies, that might have been your spot. You're so crafty, bro. I know. Well, when you have a kid, they always want to go to places like that because they need supplies for their school projects or whatever. Now, I bring this up because they're discontinuing the penny in 2026. The U.S. mint. So. Mint. By the way, it's a big story today. Yeah. They are no longer gonna press pennies. The penny is gonna be in circulation, but they're just never gonna make new pennies. Hey, I'm gonna flash it back on a Friday. Do you remember penny racers? Remember those toys, the penny racer? You put them in the back of the car and he'd spin around. Don't forget. Actually, you know, when you said that, you just unlocked the memory. Really forgot about it. I gotta ask, though. Much like Twinkies and Red Lobster and all these places, are you really mad? Because there's an uproar on social media, like, how can we not make a penny? And then I asked everyone in this room, if you're walking down the street and you see a penny, are you even picking it up? Because the answer is no. This could be someone's ass penny. You never know. It's filthy. Yeah. You know what? I have an answer, and this is the truth. I'm not just saying this to be a contrarian. If it's heads up, I absolutely would. And I would say the old. The old guy thing. See a penny, pick it up all day long. Yeah. Have good luck. But if it's face up, I do that, without a doubt, every time. You keep it and you say, oh, and then, like, put it on a ledge, I'll throw it in a back pocket. No, I'll keep it. I'll throw in a back pocket and throw it somewhere in the house, but throw it away. I think, no, I won't throw it away because then your bad luck's gone. But I'll never pick up the penny face down. The penny as a. The penny in money terms matters a lot. Because if you're trading stocks in the market, like, you know, pennies add up when people talk about billions of dollars of, you know, shares being transferred and moved and everything. But the actual penny itself, if you're a grown man, I got little kids that have piggy banks. They don't even want pennies. I think a hundred of them make a dollar. What's a dollar worth now? So I think that the average person, you could say this is a pompous, weird take. I don't think the average person would even pick up a penny if they saw it in the street. So if you're not going to pick up currency, clearly it's outdated. It costs more to make the penny than its actual value. 2 cents to make a penny. Right. So it's pointless. We're saying goodbye to the penny. Sink in it or something. And you got to check the year, too. Do you know which penny is worth the most money if you found it? Those. Wheat penny. Yeah, the 1943 Lincoln wheat penny. See now, isn't it also the buffalo penny or is that the buffalo nickel? It's the buffalo nickel. By the way, do you guys. If you see a nickel or a dime, I'm picking that up because I have a coin purse on my wallet because I'm an old man. Because you have your grandpappy in the back of your mind saying, there's a swing in my step and a nickel in my pocket. But if I see a nickel or dime or quarter, I'm definitely picking up, yo, listen, I'll tell you this. You don't need to be Daddy Warbucks or some baller. Daddy Stacks is the current sort of modern day. That was Jamie Foxx's depiction of Daddy Warbucks in the new Annie movie a couple years ago. You got to ask yourself, what denomination of money are you stopping and picking up? And I was, Sam, I may throw a dime in my pocket, but I will absolutely pick up a quarter. You'll walk past the nickel. I think I'm leaving it. Wow. Well, because. Hold on. Too good for a nickel? No, but I mean, be real with ourselves. Coins and cash money. I know some people are very scared of a cashless society, but are you really not just swiping all the time or tapping your credit card or Apple Pay or this that like are you really are you remember your grandparents or your dad would always have a huge ass keychain that jingled around and he would have like coins and dollars in his pocket. We don't live that way anymore. So anyone complaining about the penny for yourself? Why look at it's on the it's on like good day. It's on the Today show right now saying goodbye to the penny. If you care, please tell us why. 87799 on Fox. And of course we'll get to some more NBA NFL News and we'll play a game.

On November 5, 2018 at 6:33am, a red Volkswagen Golf was found abandoned in a ditch out in Sleep Hole Valley. The driver's seat door was open. No traces of footsteps leaving the vehicle.

But first, a few phone calls on the discontinued penny. I was. Sam, genuinely. I thought he was lying. Genuinely. Real talk. This guy's got a change purse in his wallet. I prefer to call it a coin purse, thank you very much. He has a coin purse. I lost my wallet a few years ago and my buddy likes working with leathers, so he made me a wallet from scratch and he put it. I asked for a coin purse, he put one on there. I mean, it's very kind, but I mean, I don't know anyone other than I was saying. I bet if you stopped a hundred people who has coins on them. So anyone make a great point though? Older men, maybe boomers enough. Yeah. Old guys with scratch offs, you know, that's when you need them most. Anybody have a coin? But Rich's point is, comes in handy when you get a. When your grandma sends you a win for life scratch off ticket. Yeah. The point is though, it's people are outraged and upset and. No, no way. Not the pennies. This is one of those things, though. Who's really outraged? I don't know, but that's the story today. People like. No, not the pennies. Discontinued. Danny. Trending, trending. Number one on X and TikTok this morning were both things like right now, us phases out, Penny production and the backlash. Right, right. But Rich's point is backlash. I mean, a penny, you wouldn't even pick one up if you saw it on the Street. Oh, it's filthy. So you can't really be that upset. You weren't even using it. I call it's like the hobo, but I. If I see loose change on the ground, I will always pick it up and put it like on a ledge near like a. You know, where like, you're the best rich, well dressed hobo. Kevin in Iowa, always helping a hobo. Yeah, the hobo helper. What's up, Kev? Hey. Not much. Real quick, if I walk by a penny, I will pick it up. Me too. But where I struggle is when you go to your mailbox, you get a bunch of junk mail and they got like four nickels stuck in the window and they're asking for a donation to some cause. The struggle is, do you cash the four nickels and then throw the envelope away or do you throw the whole thing away or does it force you to make a donation? That's a good one. By the way. You used to be able to get 12 CDs for a penny back in the day. You remember that? Yeah, you were supposed to pay the company later. I got cnc, Music Factory. I got Live. My second live reference of the day. We all got Bobby Brown, Bobby, Bobby Brown having a Roni. I got some Vanilla Ice. All for penny, dude. All for penny. Doug in New Orleans. What's up, Doug? Hey, great. Let me just first start out by saying I'm a huge Danny G fan. Especially that covered years ago. Nice. It's a tiger killer. I found that guy in the jungle. I'll never know. But anyway, my comment was, for years, years, decades maybe even, people have been buying pennies and hoarding them because of the copper value. I know that. I know that There are, like you said, some valuable ones, like the old, like the, like, you know, you always see those little ads on social media, like, scan your coin, you might have a rare one. I just think that any outrage over the discontinued penny is like the silliest fake outrage. Because who really carries around loose change in their pocket? Based on your thought of if you saw one on the street, you'd probably not even pick it up. So why are you so upset? I swear to God. You know, not to tie it back to sports, but it is FOX Sports Radio. Yeah. I was walking down the street just the other day and I saw a baseball card on the street just laying there. It was Cecilio Guante of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Would you have picked it up? Why would I pick up any piece of paper? I don't know. Because it was there and I'm like, it wasn't like, throw it out. Nice person. What if it was a Met? Would you have picked it up for yourself? No. Well, there's no, there's no way it's mint. I mean, if you get it graded, that's like a. It wasn't like, there was no noticeable damage to it. Looked like someone dropped it out of their car or something. I have no idea why it was there. If it was a Timmy Tuffle, you wouldn't pick it up. No, I'm not taking up anything to throw it out. Maybe. Oh, my God. Good Samaritan. But that's better if it was a Tom Seaver. What if it was a Benny Agbayani? All right. Hey, listen, we got more coming on Richard for Dan. Patrick, let's get the phones dialing. We're going to play Last One Standing, 87799 on Fox. And a great hypothetical about family versus work. It's all coming up Friday. Let's get into this Memorial Day weekend. Why is a soap opera western like Yellowstone so wildly successful? The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network.
