And when I heard this name, interestingly enough, I think it's one of those guys that you know the name but you've never connected the dots. La la la la. I'm sorry. Connect the dots. You're fresh off the Pee Wee documentary. I get it. I'm fresh off the Pee Wee Herman documentary that premiered over the weekend. That was something else that a lot of people watched on hbo. Max, he seemed to be a way better fella than that Brett Favre guy. Different style documentary. Yeah, but I didn't mean to disrespect the death announcement, but let's hear it, because I don't know this story. The guy's name who passed away, Rick Derringer. Now you might say Rick Derringer. That name rings a bell. He falls in the category for me as a guy that has done multiple things, but I guarantee the average Jabroni would never connect the dots. He was the lead of a band back in the day your parents probably liked called the McCoys, famously known for Hang On Sloopy. Sloopy lives in the worst part of town Sloopy hang on yeah, yeah, yeah. You know this song, right? Of course. You know what else this guy wrote? Cut the music, Sam. Rick Derringer. Also the guy behind so many of the wrestling theme songs of our childhood. He wrote and produced Real American, the Hulk Hogan theme. That's why Rich knows him. Wasn't your first cd, Piledriver? Shut up. The hardest Rich ever rocked out was to Hulk Hogan's theme song. Well, speaking of rock it out, he also wrote the Demolition theme song. Remember that one? So just a guy that. I don't know if you ever would have thought. The guy that wrote and sung Hang On Sloopy, also saying Real American. Did you know that? No, I never connected that at all. You know what it's like? It's like Manford, Man. We all know Blinded by the Light. When we were kids, we all got those lyrics wrong. It's not a douche. Courtesy of our parents, who sang it wrong. Wrapped up like a douche. No, it's wrapped up like a deuce. Another wrestling connection. Rich, he worked with Cyndi Lauper. He did Derringer. But the Manfred man connection, why it's similar to me, you know, Blinded by the Light. Same guy wrote do what? Did he. Did he dumb. Did he do. And that seems like those songs gonna be more different. You know why? Because they transcended generations, and those generations were drastically different. Like 50s to the 60s, 50s to the 70s, yeah, they're drastically different. And then of course, you know, those wrestling themes have nothing to do with Hang On Sloopy. Yeah, I think, by the way, you know, that song was written by Bruce Springsteen. That's the fun fact. I also feel that way about Kylie Minogue. Very popular at women and the gay community. She has all those dance songs from the 2000s. She wrote the Locomotion. That was her song too. You know what this is an example of? And it is wild. I'm not downplaying it, but it's like if you hear early Beatles, they went from I want to hold your hand to I am the walrus. Right? Like, drastically different because of the generational differences. Like, it changed real quick. Can't say the same, at least from today's perspective, about recent music. Well, we talked about today's ears. It sounds similar years removed. Maybe in the future we'll be able to hear the differences. But we've talked about how in the 90s, artists from the 70s were long gone. In the 2000s, artists from the 80s were long gone. We're in the 2000s, 2000s artists. Katy Perry, Maroon 5, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift. You know, they're all still here. Jay Z, Rihanna, Beyonce. It's like they decided they just didn't want to go away. And they're all lingering. I had that thought over the Weekend because I was watching the Wedding Singer. It must be on constant replay on regular television on, like, TNT or something, when they're not playing basketball. And Billy Idol's return in that movie seemed like we hadn't seen Billy Idol in 130 years. But he was an 80s star, and that movie was in the 90s. He was less than 10 years removed from, like, White Wedding. No, seriously, like, that movie was late 90s. I get it. But you would have thought Billy idol was, like, 75 when he did that movie. Oh, my God. It's Billy Idol. Yeah. No, because it was so far removed. They hadn't done anything. What Rich is saying now, someone in the 2000s, 25 years later, is still kind of relevant or could be making new music. They're still around on our conscious radar, where. It wasn't like that back in the day. Kelly Clarkson, like I said, all the artists from the 2000s are still sort of around today. They just still sort of around. In fact, is the. Who we're talking about today. Creed. You know, Creed came out in the late 90s. We're still talking about them. Yeah. Gwen Stefani. And they're still visible. They're still right in your. Right in the 90s. My point is, the Bee Gees weren't doing big things in the 90s. No. You know, like, you spit them up and you moved on. Like, 60s, you know, rock and roll stars weren't doing big things in the 80s. Twenty years later, most artists back in the day were sort of. We had moved past them. Right, right, right. It's different now. So, hey, rest in peace. But brought that up because I just saw right before we went on the air, Rick, I just wanted to play Hulk Hogan's theme song. Stop pretending. I just know that's your only tie to this guy. You never in your life thought the same guy that sang Real American sang Hang on Sloopy. Never. I know you're right. Broadcasting live from the FOX Sports Radio studio. Remember to stream our show. All of FOX Sports Radio shows. I mean, you could skip some of them, but please listen to ours 24. 7 on the new and improved iHeartRadio app. You said it, buddy. Fox Sports Radio. Thank you, guys again. You could preset us number one. Preset it. Don't forget it. Because we're not Ron Popeil. We're Covino and Rich. All right, now, after watching. Can I. Can I say this with. With, like, total certainty? I almost feel like, yes, after watching OKC yesterday. They're up 3:1. In case you were sleeping after watching the Thunder and the T Wolves. T Wolves put up a fight. Oh, I was pulling for them to make it a series. Every time they got within striking distance. SGA or by the way, Chet Holgram, to me looks like he's Beavis and Butthead, he got a pinhead or what? Just Butthead. He is like. He's like. He could play Butthead a movie. I'm like, man, he looks more. Hey, Butthead, this guy looks like your brother. Shut up, Davis. This guy looks like a bung hole. He looks like you goofiest clutch player in the NBA. Chad Holgram looks like a basketball player. This guy's on fire. Fire. So this guy rules. When you watch that OKC team, you know, throughout the year, we were the fools that were all like, yeah, I don't know. They're 20 games better than everyone. There was a reason. Danny, is it crazy for me to say that we're watching the other conference finals as almost like whoever's going to be the runner up because I think OKC is going to wipe the floor? Exactly. It was a bad matchup from the beginning. And don't forget the first game in Minnesota, as we thought might happened when we were filling in for Dan Patrick. Remember I told you ask any Laker if it's easy to play in Minnesota. That first game back home for them wasn't even close. Thunder weren't even in that game. That was the first game in the series Yesterday. Yesterday. Last night, rather, where the game was close. Yeah, first it's, you know, there's been a lot of blowout games in the NBA playoffs. I just think that whoever wins, you know what it's like. It's like the AFC championship in the 90s. You were sort of playing to see who would lose to the Cowboys, 49ers or packers or, you know, Giants. Like the AFC being the runner up back then every year feels to me like the Eastern Conference finals. Now, where I listen, you think that now again, but like any fight, like we said, styles make fights, styles make games and matches and matchups. If Carl Anthony Towns plays the way he could play, in a way he played in the fourth quarter as a big man with the shot and dominant like that. Even though he says, oh, my God, even though he's a little zesty sometimes, if he plays big, he's bringing the zest after the game. Did you see how he was talking in a fake low voice? I love it, though. I love him. I love how he's playing. I love what he's capable of. Then you got a matchup. If he plays big like that, it doesn't matter. We don't know how that's going to match up is what we're saying. And last week on the show, we were talking about those 20 point leads. They evaporate like that. Dude, that was nuts. Props to the Knicks, by the way, for making it a series that was insane. What was the headline? Chokes on them. Chokes on the Pacers. Yeah. So that was. I believe that was the COVID of the New York Post. Chokes on the Pacers. This series seems way more lopsided than the Knicks could tie it up tonight. To me, I feel like the Knicks blew an opportunity in game one. Game two was like, oh, blue, what are we doing? Son of a. And now game three, the Knicks. Oh, they came back. I feel like the Knicks are hanging out for dear life. Like they're hanging out, like on Van Gundy's leg in the 90s. I feel like the Knicks pull that off. Dude, that was awesome. Dude. If they win, somehow find a way to win tonight. And Vegas has Indiana favored by two and a half. So they're expecting a close game in Las Vegas. So odds makers are saying this is a close game. Two and a half points Indiana at home. If the Knicks find a way to win and go back for Game 5 at the Garden. Each game at the Gardens, the magnitude is even higher and higher. This will be like. This will now be the biggest game at the garden in 25. You're so pumped to watch tonight make it a series. Rooting for the Knicks, obviously, just for the fun of it, you know, they're saying Nixon 6. Why? Because it rhymes. I don't know. They have to go on a major streak right now, but just gives you more incentive to pay attention tonight to see if these teams could match up either one of them Knicks or Pacers with the what seems to be unstoppable Oklahoma City Thunder, who are up three one now. Sam. So the Pacers have actually lost game three in each of their series so far. A little nugget for you. So maybe there's just something about they take their foot off the gas, then they seem to regroup and get things done. Yeah, you know, I'm looking at the home and away standings for the teams remaining now. OKC just had such a great record. They were 68 and 14, so they're going to have a good home and away record regardless. But at home, 35 and 6, but there's no other team left in it that was so dominant at home. Like, Indiana was 29 and 11 at home. That's good, but I. No one's like, unbeatable. Remember the year that there were years where the Bulls or remember when the warriors had lost, it felt like they lost like a game at home. There have been teams that are just unbeatable at home. That's not the case now. It's very easy for the Knicks to go in tonight and win. You want to be shocked? One of Kendrick Perkins, big perk. Which, by the way, big perk looking big, hefty perk. He's been talking about how home field, home court advantage means nothing. There's just not for the fans. It does. Yeah, but I'm saying there's just not a team. Maybe at this stage, you know? Yeah, I'm saying there's not a team. Right now you're looking at that other than maybe the Thunder, but you could say the Thunder has an equally good road record. They're just that good. What up, Big perm? I mean, big perk. So we talked about the early 2000s, right? Yeah, buddy. Now, besides from. Besides great basketball over the weekend, some good baseball. It was also the Indy 500. And I shouted out, Alex Palu, number 10. He's the grand winner, the grand champion. Oh, is that what I want to do today? You were pouring milk all over yourself. Yeah, because it's the thing. Alex, he does that every day. Yeah, I mean, I do it every Tuesday. Did you see some of those plants? The tacos are spicy. Did you see some of those plants at baseball games where they had people pouring milk on themselves and like, almost promotion of the Indy 500 happened in a Mets game, I believe a Red sox game. Indy500 did big numbers this year. Yeah, I'm not rich enough to really care yet, Sam. One day I need another zero in my bank account to be like, ooh, Indy card. But no, it's a rich. A rich person sport, Alex. Paulo won it all. I mean, to be invested, I feel like. I feel like retired famous athletes are all like, oh, yes, indeed. Ratings are up 40% from last year. It's amazing. So people are tuning in. People are tuning in, people are betting, people are excited. I saw a lot of the coverage. A lot more coverage, too, is prominent there, even when you got great baseball and NBA on. So you're seeing that next level impact that it's having. Speaking of a rich sport, you know, each tire they go through is about $2,500. No way. Yeah. They need to Call tire wreck. Cha Ching. Yeah, man, they should definitely hit a tire wreck. They give you a personalized recommendation, I hear. Let me tell you about our algorithm real quick. Besides giant circus boobs and women dancing and Rich and I, we had our come up at Sirius XM for the most part, right. Cavino and Rich. And we're still on the music side of things on SiriusXM. I'm on turbo every night. That's channel 41, hard rock of the 90s and the Zeros. Sorry to hear that. And I mentioned Creed. Right. Well, in my algorithm I kept seeing that There was a SiriusXM Creed car in the race and it was driven by Felix Rosenquist. Felix Rosenquist, who? He was in the fifth spot. Felix Rosenquist. And he was a majestic looking car. Honestly, it's worth looking up. Creed and SiriusXM Felix was driving it. And over the weekend, because of the whole Creed tie into the race, I saw that Scott Snapp was there, the whole band was there. Mark Tremonti, all the dudes from Creed were there and they posted a photo with some of the hardest hitters, pun intended, that I've seen in one photo together. So first of all, you have one of the biggest comebacks in the past year in the world of music. Creed, who went from everybody's 2000s joke to like really making a lot of money thanks to the Texas Rangers hype and their big major comeback and their tour. They've made a lot of money in the past year and their songs kind of hit mainstream again. And in a joking yet serious way with arms. Right. Weren't they singing Higher, My Car Door is wide open? Right. Well, they were the rally cry, like you said, of the Rangers. They've made a comeback, they've toured. You've. You did a pretty cool, fun sit down interview with them. I did. If you have the SiriusXM app search creed, you could see me and them reunited and unplugged. I hosted the whole thing. But as far as comebacks, they made some serious money. Cha Ching. Anyway, this dude is driving the Creed Serious car. And it was a power photo snapped of Creed. Scott Stapp right there in the middle with his glorious hair. And it's Tom Brady, Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter all in one photo. Big Papi must have not been there that day. I know he rolls with them, Michael be he. And I'm thinking to myself, this is how rich guys party, I guess. Look at them in their sweet bomber jackets in their sweet little outfits. I think Alex Rodrigo, Alex Rodriguez was packing a Fungo bat in that photo, if you look closely. But he honestly, if it looked like he had produce in his pants. Did you see this picture that he's talking about? He's got a torpedo bat. I feel like Ara, is he carrying a torpedo bath in an Easton? What do you got there? Goodness. So check out this power photo I described from the Indy 500. He must be wearing those extra fitted Travis Matthew pants. It's Creed. And I imagine that Creed is more excited for the photo than Tom Brady is. Or maybe they're all closet secret Creed fans. I don't know. There's always that mutual respect between rock stars and athletes. Right. But if you look up Creed's page, if you look up anything, you'll see photos of again, Creed with Brady, Cheater and a Rod. So that poses this question as we watch from afar and just assume that everybody's life is cooler than your own thanks to social media. Who would be your big three? Oh, because honestly, if I were going to take a star studded photo, I would choose any one of those dudes. A Rod, Jeter and Brady. That'd be the coolest photo ever. Dude. Imagine you were in a photo even if you don't like them. That is like, because we asked Big Mike too. Hey, Big Mike, who runs this? Big Mike. Who runs this place? Never heard of him. Just big now words of wisdom guy. Yeah, he was like, I would choose. Who do you say? Lance Armstrong, OJ Simpson and who was it? Another controversial athlete? Aaron Hernandez? Yeah, somebody like that. Like Bill Cosby or something. Yeah. So it's like, who would your big three be? It doesn't have to be someone you necessarily admire, but would you turn down a Rod, Jeter and Brady? That's a pretty great photo if you were ever that lucky to get one. Give me your top three. What, what is your. Now here's the question. Do you choose your personal favorite or do you go simply based on like most mammoth? Like if I'm making my photo, Jordan would have to be in that photo for the most part. Or do you want LeBron in there? He's more relevant. Maybe LeBron. I think those are the only guys missing. Like that's a powerful photo right there. That's bragging rights even for Creed. If you're a kid of the 80s or 90s. Like I am my power photo. Simple. If you're going to choose three, I'm going Jordan, Tyson and Joe Montana. But then you could say the more relevant. That's a great one too. Jordan, Tyson and Montana. Everyone's going to have a different. The more. The more relevant answer. The more relevant answer would be Tom Brady, LeBron, and maybe Ohtani. Now, is this a dream scenario, or realistically, like, do they need to still be with us? You can give us both. Danny. There's no rules to our silly hypothetical. You. I mean, in the actual photo, clearly, they're all alive. Right? Let's go. We can start with a liar, because otherwise, I'd say Abe Lincoln, Babe Ruth, and. No, because I was just thinking of Laker greats. Like, imagine being in the same photo with Kareem Magic and Kobe. Yeah. Now think about it. Would you want to only make it sports? What if I told you Kavina? What if it was like, what about Dave Grohl or Lenny Kravitz and Derek Jeter and the pen? You know, I would be Chris Cornell. He'd have to be there. Nice, right? I mean, he's a beast. Have to be cornell. I'd go 90s rock. Rest in beast. Yeah, Rest in beast. It'd be. Oh, I'd have the. The trio. Wait. Yeah. I'd have to have Scott Weiland. Right. But then do I have. And then I have to have Cobain. But then I leave out Lane Staley. Oh, that's a tough one. Are you doing a music photo instead of a sports one? Well, you brought up Gro, you bonehead. No, but I'm saying, if you had to do a combo, what if you were like, combo, like, all right, make. Let's keep it alive to make it more simple. Alive. Would you go Grohl, Jeter, Tyson? No, I love Grohl, but after he cheated on his wife, I just can't look at him the same. Yeah, no, my girlfriend's listening, bro. You know what? I. You know, I could never really accept him the same way. Now we pose this question to you, Fox Sports Radio Nation. Who's your big three? Look at this dream photo. In honor of Pee Wee Herman's documentary, if John B. Gave you one wish. Mekalika High. Mecca. Heiny Ho. Mekalika High. Makachuni. Now, if you were able to take three living stars, music, sports, entertainment, and have a photo stars that you put on your mantle, you put in your man cave on your desk and work, you leave Covino and Rich out of it. Okay? You don't have to include us. It's all good. Offended. Yeah. If you could pick, any two of you count for three because of Rich's head, who would it be? Honestly? That's a tough one. Would you go ladies or would you go like superstars? Would you include ladies in your photo? Sydney Sweeney counts as one or two. Yeah, I know. Two, I think. You know, I would love to hear the answers. You're a big three. You know, we're going to talk a bunch of other fun stuff, so hang tight. I was thinking sports, though, to simplify. But if you have, like, an answer you want to share, that's fine. Mecca, like a high Mecca. Hiney Hole Mecca, like a high Mechachani Ho make. I don't know the rest. Is it Mecca Mole? Make a hay. You're the big peewee guy. Was the documentary good? It was pretty good. Okay, your wish has been granted. Long live Jambi. Who would your big three be? I'm thinking World of Sports. But if you want to be creative, if it's three porn stars, I mean, three hotties that you want to throw out there, that's fine. But I think, and I feel bad saying this, the more I thought about it, the Jeter Brady combo, I would go for. As much as I love a rod, I don't really love a rod the way I love Jeter. So for me, it would be like Tyson. I'd have to throw a fighter in there. So for me, my big three in my John B. Fantasy, if I had one wish, it'd be a cool photo of me, Brady Jeter. And I'd cut you out of it, Rich. Okay. And I'd leave Mike Tyson there. That's good. Yeah, I'd crop you out. I definitely crop you out. And thanks to AI, we could have any photo we want, I guess. Right? But I was. Sam, are you putting Caitlin Clark in your photo? I feel like you would. What? You're such a big. I will go. The first name I settled on was not a sports guy. Mike Judge creator, Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill Idiocracy. He's in your fantasy photo because he. He's, like. The way he thinks is, like, something that I really. I really admire his outlook on the world. So he's like. He's like my high priest. I got to hear the next. So I was. Sam has Mike Judge, Caitlin Clark, and who else? I didn't say Caitlin Clark. He's got to be in your photo. I feel like you wear Caitlin Clark shirts. I do have a lot of Caitlin Clark shirts. I just like. I guess. Okay, she's in there. Sure. I mean, I'm like, maybe, like, 10 years from now, like, waiting for her to win some. Hopefully win some championships. Man, who else? I would definitely. If it was just like, whoever probably would put Chris Cornell in there, because that's my favorite grunge band, and I loved Anthony Bourdain. I would love to have had a beer and wild 3 ye. I like it. And he's gone. So is Chris. Somebody make that hat. Someone Photoshop Sam in a. In a Cornell Bourdain. I don't want that judge photo and Caitlin Clark just chilling till. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's. Let's turn out weird. Let's go to your feedback at coving on, Rich. Well, here's the beauty of the. Of the. It's like snowflakes, Rich. Everyone's going to have a different one. Yeah. No two are the same, right, Dan, New York State, you're on with Kavino and Rich, Much like Creed posing with Jeter, Tom Brady, and a Rod. Who's your. Who's your three people in your fantasy photo? Well, I actually got a photo with Jerry west years ago when he was down in Memphis, and he signed my deal in jersey that have Rome, the Jerry west jersey. And actually Shaq and Kobe signed the jersey also. So I go those three. Yo, that's awesome for a Lakers fan, Danny G. I have a basketball, right, and it's Kareem Abdul, Jabbar, Shaq, and no one else has signed it. And I'm waiting for, like, Magic Johnson to stop by the show or something. Right. For you as a Lakers guy. I don't know what your answer is, Danny G, but if you. Imagine if you had a photo of those three dudes together, I mean, you'd have to have Kobe in there. I know. Rest in peace. But that'd be a sick photo. Let's go to the Bay Area. Butch. Hey. What up, Butch? What's up, Butchie? Hey, guys. How you doing? Thanks for having me. No problem. What's. What would be on your. What's your fantasy photo? Ronald Reagan, Elvis, and Wayne Gretzky. Yeah, so random. Reagan, Gretzky, and who? Elvis. Yes, Gretzky. He said Wayne Gretzky. That's a good one. I mean, it's. Yeah, it's a little bit of everything. See, that's kind of cool, too. Like music, sports, and then, I don't know. Your. Your fantasy Ronald Reagan, Tony in Virginia. What's up? Tomorrow. Hey. Hey, fellas. Mine's a little. Mine's on the music side. I want Dylan, Willie Nelson, and Mick Jagger. They are. What if you're a big. And they're all live? What if you like to smoke weed. Would you want a picture with Tyson, Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg? Yeah, if it's your thing. Or like Cheech and Chom, a lower level. These things present themselves. Hey, there's people. I want to jump in that photo to capture the memory. This is a true story. I remember we were at a party one time when you got dissed, and I got dissed so hard. Check out what I saw. Tony Gonzalez, Jason Whitten, and Shannon Sharp. And they were all in a little huddle, like chopping it up at a party. We just happened to be there, bro. I don't know what came over me, but I was like, I'm. This is a photo op, dude. I'm gonna jump in there to be one of the sweetest tight ends that ever played the game. I'm pretty sure Cavino said, look at those sweet tight ends, yo. I went in there, I gave him a sweet zinger like that. And I tried to turn around like, yo, man, quick photo. They straight up. We're like, nah, I got done. They like basically shooed me out of their little circle and I got denied of that opportunity. For real. I tried, though. It was worth a try. It was worth the try. Like, yo, look at the legendary tight end photo. Well, at first they thought you were Mario Lopez and they said yes. And they're like, wait a minute, it's not it. And then they realized they wasn't. They asked me to leave. Josh in Ohio wrapped us up. What's up, buddy? Hey, guys, I got two. One living, living. Three film directors. Scorsese, Tarantino, Oliver Stone. Dude, that's. If you're a film guy, that's still Barrego. That'd be incredible for the non living athletes. Muhammad Ali, Bill Russell and Mickey Mantle. Yeah, I think if you find someone, what you're three. That's your soulmate. That's how this works. And by the way, everyone's gonna have a different answer. And we'd love to hear yours at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, but that's all we're trying to do is get you to think about it because it was a really cool photo. And that was just another highlight of the weekend. I hope you enjoyed the races to know me. I'm surprised you wouldn't think that mine. You know, if you. It depends. Do you look at it through your current eyes or as when you were a child? Because if you asked me when I was like a little boy, I would have been like Joe Montana, Alf and Hulk Hogan. Yeah, that would have been one. Hey, by the way, on a side note, Tom Brady in the news because he's opening up a museum with Jim Gray out the fountain, blue font in Vegas. And that's kind of cool.

Hosted by me writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck, this podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and Meat Eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published and he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted, has spent 24 of those years in jail, 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity, he was an adrenaline junk and he was the star of the show. Go Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable. I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my spleen, break my rib. I had my guts all in my hands only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong that one. Rod from Campside Media and iHeart Podcasts, listen to GoBoy on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I was about to bribe people. If you come spot will give you a lap dance for free, guys. Oh, for free. Is that true? And maybe Iowa Sam, you might get a. Actually, you make your fantasy come true, it'll be Spot, Iowa Sam and Danny G. Wow. That's your big three. That's your big three. There you go, man. My goodness. That's at least a twenty dollar value for free. Well, tonight you know who's going to be very excited for game four? Who Pops? Tyrese Halliburton's dad is allowed to attend and he's going to be sitting in a suite for Pacers Knicks game four. Remember he had that little scuffle? Yeah. Well, right now we're live from Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time for our tire rack play of the day. Came down to the wiring game corps in Minnesota last night and OKC pulled away for a 31 series lead. Kicks left wing Dub open snaps off a rainbow three in there chaching a J. Dub offered money ball. Oh, baby. 34 for dub. A playoff career high. Shay's got 10 assists. Thunder back up seven anytime Minnesota got close. I feel like a couple times Jalen Williams just knocked down a three. And that's courtesy of WWLS Thunder Radio network. And that's our tyrack play of the day. The Indy 500 over the weekend. Again, congrats to Alex Palu, number 10. He was the big winner. But that Creed car had us thinking about this Creed photo that went kind of viral. Is Creed a Rod, Jeter, and Brady all in one photo? All the big dogs were at the Indy 500. You can have a photo with you and three notable people. Who would it be? What would make the best photo? Just think about it, and we'll wrap it up with Jeffrey. Yo, what up, Jeff? Hello. Good afternoon. Former Tuffy Toro mascot. I also go by the name of Art Tur. Okay, part one for athletes Mahomes, Gretzky and Otami, and then go way out of the box. It used to be a mascot. Bucky, Buckeye Ray, Razorback, and of course, uga. Man, you're wasting your wish on mascots. You and I are not the same. Yeah. However, no, speaking of mascots, there was a day where, I guess they did Syracuse Day at Citi Field, and one of my buddies sent me a picture, was Otto the Orange and Mr. Matt, and they're like, this is your fantasy. I'm like, you know, I was like, you know what? That is my life. I did go to Syracuse. Great answer, though, Jeffrey. Thank you so much. Danny G. Did you have one on standby? Yeah, I'm still thinking of. Of. Because it's hard. Rich Said, living so. And. And I know D.B. you had three, right? Yeah, I did. You know, it. It is a. It is a tough list, and I wanted to go my favorites, and George Michael is passed. So if that doesn't fit into to this, I would go Tiger Woods, Matthew McConaughey, and Prince William. Oh, that's a good one. You would never know anything Royal family related. I love George Brett. Why Prince William? Because I just feel like there's more so than the King, but of everything that, like, we've seen this his entire life. And I'm just. I'm fascinated by that sort of fame in being by that person that we have for a second, I think so much about, say, Prince, and I was like, oh, really? No, but that's pretty cool, man. That's pretty cool. If he was alive, obviously, George Michael, which is such a cool answer, because I feel like a guy like George Michael doesn't get enough. I don't know, enough credit. I mean, superstar. We lost Carl Weathers a year ago or so now, but, you know, I'm sure. I wonder if there's someone out there that has a picture of them with stallone, Carl Weathers, Mr. T. And I'll throw in a fourth just for the helmet. And Drago. Dolph, do you think there's some guy out there. Stallone has that. Do you think there's some guy that has a photo of him and every Rocky opponent? Yes, my. Absolutely. My favorite photo. Yo, meet me, Clubber, Lang and Drago. And that is a foot. That's a power photo. You know what? Back in those was the name of it. The Hollywood was the name of that restaurant we used to go to, the resort. Oh. Owned by Bruce Willis, Stallone and Schwarzenegger. They used to roll deep like that. What is that? Planet Hollywood. Planet Hollywood. Man, how quickly we forgot. Right? Gotta remind you tonight, Game four. Gotta get pumped for that. I just can't believe that if the Knicks win tonight, it's two, two, go back to the Garden. Isn't there a feeling in your mind that like, oh, the Knicks blew it, yet they're. They're right in it. They could. They could make up for the total failure in game one and go back to the Garden tied up. If they just somehow put it together tonight. If these key players off the bench play the way they played and people step up again. So, yeah, some great basketball over the weekend. Super exciting. Your Indy 500, your Pee Wee Herman documentaries, Mission Impossible. Hope you enjoyed it, guys. Did you watch the finale of the Last of Us? The finale I did was. I do have to wait like two years for another season now. And people that play the video game, do you start playing with other characters, like a nose when they. You start playing as Abby or something? I'm like, yeah. So do they. Does the main character shift on the show? I don't know. I don't know. I watched it, though. I was one of the three point. I think it was 3.2 or 3.8 million that tuned into the finale. So hope you enjoyed all that. Hope you're enjoying our show. Know what I watch, by the way, that I recommend to everyone? What? Not only for the first time did I watch a movie that you've quoted many times. I don't know how it took me 20 years to watch. This spot was at my house and he was one of the people that stayed latest. And he threw on Nacho Libre. I don't know how I had never seen that movie in its entirety. Is it Encarnacion? Encarnacion. Is it the dumbest Encarnac. Is it the dumbest fun movie of Jack Black's life? I mean, Nacho Libre is a lot of people's favorite Mexican to Be honest. I don't know how I had missed that along the way. And if you need something fun to watch, if you're a. If you're a man or a woman that loves their. Their whiskey or their bourbon, the food, the built America. Oh, yeah, there's a Jack Daniels one. And you learn all about Jack Daniel. And it is a fascinating story. The guy was, you know, the guy was a ballsy, revolutionary type of guy. Like, he was like, I want to brand my booze when everyone else is just trying to bootleg it and sell it. He's like, no, no, I want to be a brand. It's wild. And he was like a young orphan. Jack Daniel. When you wake up with a headache, you think of Jack Daniel. Yeah. I'm telling you, it's a great documentary. Whatever you watched, we hope you enjoy it. And we hope you enjoy our show. We hope you watch our show. We're streaming now on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. And of course, we have our bonus pod. You can watch over promised episode 93. I'll tell you all about it later. Now, there was another story. Rich, before we get into Iron Mike trivia. Yeah. Giving away prizes again. 87799 on Fox. Who do you like tonight, by the way? Give me your gut instinct. Nick's tied up or all the way. Dude, I feel like they unlocked something, you know, let's spread. Spread the love a little bit. We don't need Jalen Brunson to do everything. We got some key players off the bench that step up. I think Carl Anthony Towns really showed that he's got what it takes. He's got the momentum now. You know what I mean? Like, I think they're going to play big tonight. Sorry, did you see the text message you just got? No, I hate to be all over the place. No, I don't. No, you don't. No, I don't. I like add radio. Before we get to Tyson trivia. And your other story, we asked Big Mike. Who runs this place. Yeah. Who? You know, Big Mike. On Friday, we talked about how the university actually out here, UCLA in California, scientists say they have a breakthrough study where hair loss is gonna be a thing of the past. We talked about this last week. Yeah. We filled in for Dan Patrick and Colin Cowherd. Not a lot could say they've done both shows in the same day. But we did. We made radio history on Friday and we talked about this. I know. Wow is right. And there's a study that they're saying propecia rogaine all these things are gonna pale in comparison to this hair loss breakthrough that scientists at ucla, they're waiting for FDA approval and they're saying it is legit. Like they found a way to undead in hair follicles. I don't know the size of the Tony Kornheiser's gonna come in looking like Johnny Suede. I bring this up because Big Mike, who runs this place where we say he looks like stone cold Steve Austin and Camino, asked him if you could, would you grow back your hair and take a pill because you're so used to people and their look and they're accustomed to their look too. I don't know if everyone would jump at that opportunity. He just hit us up. He goes, not only would I grow my hair back, I would really want. He said he would go, like, big poofy, like Flock of seagulls. Really just let it grow. And I just. I don't know how his wife feels. I just wonder if all those ladies are gonna be chasing him. All the guys say, hubba hubba. All the guys I was saying that look like Rob Ryan. Think of all your buddies that have shaved their head and grew a beard, right? Like, you guys like, yo, take it home. And they just grow a beard, shave their head. Would all those guys just grow big pompadours? I can't imagine Mike with the Flock of seagull's hair. Dude. I just, you know, I. I like him as a bald guy. I like Mike the way he is. It's a funny question we asked the other day, though. Who. Who would look the funniest with a full head of hair? And the number one answer to move on. I was Sam. Was credit to you. You said the panel of NBA on tnt. Just the whole panel. The whole panel. Yeah. It just wouldn't look right. All with flat tops. They all got flat tops. It's so weird. So another story you can think about that you could check out us filling in for DP and the first hour of Cowherd on wherever you stream your podcast. Search. Covino and Rich. It's part of your best of the week. Oh, yeah. It is part of the best of the week. We have a best of the week, guys, for your listening pleasures. Check that out if you want to hear more about it. Now, my boy Jack Mack, who I never met, my best friend, who I never met from barstool, brought awareness to the story. And I looked it up and I'm like, no way. What? No way. This is a story out of Sylvania Ohio, Perrysburg High School. Now Perrysburg High School must have the greatest varsity soccer team going because there's a story of a 24 year old guy named Anthony, Labrador, he's from Venezuela. And he convinced everybody that he was this high school, 16 year old orphan that had nowhere else to go. And a family brought him in and it wasn't until his baby mama reached out to this family that was housing him and she was like, yeah, that guy living with you, he's the father of my son. He's not paying me child support. And he's 24 years old, he's not 16. So it's one of those like orphan stories, remember? Like there's something wrong with Esther. You remember that? So this family had, what's there a real story too about some girl, that curious case of Nancy Grace. I don't know, what's her name, something Grace, Anyone? Talia Grace? Natalia Grace? Yeah, it was this little girl, but she was a little girl. That was their story. The facts come out that she was a younger woman, a little girl. So he's pretending to be 16 years old, he's really 24, and he's playing JV sports. So the first question is, 24 year old guy wasn't good enough to play varsity. What a loser. He's playing jv. I mean, the whole story's weird, right? But he wasn't good enough to play varsity. A dude from Venezuela. Remember the movie with. Was it Drew Barrymore goes back to high school, Never been kissed? Anytime there's a story or a movie where someone goes back to, you know, back to school. Back to school, you know? Yeah. Remember Billy Madison? He whooped those kids asses in dodgeball. Or, you know, Thornton Mellon if you want to be like Rodney Dangerfield and do the triple Lindy, if you can go back to school, don't you think you'd play varsity even at this age? Because there's a poise about you, a confidence that you would have. I think I, after a few reps, right, you can't just go in there cold. But I do gotta get some reps in. I do wonder if you're a guy or a woman. And you, if you're 35, 40, 45, 50 years old, this guy was 24. At what age are you delusional to think, oh, I could go back and play football. My ego says, hell yeah, give me a month to, you know, get my stroke back, get my legs from under me because there's some ring rust, you know, I could hit off These knucklehead high school kids. Give me a break. You haven't played organized baseball in decades. I know, but you think you could go play varsity for a while? I said, that's my ego talking. You know, I think I'm at that. That age right now. What's the big basic? Mid to late 40s. What did John Carlos stand play over here? Notre Dame? Sherman Oaks? You think you could be. I mean, now you're. Now you're putting me up against the, like, best high school kids in the country. No, but I'm saying out here in California, yeah, these are some of the best John Carlos Stanton played there. There's some of the best. It's a private school. But if you put me in some average high school, yeah, I got a shot to start varsity just based on man's strength alone. Danny did it. I did it at 16. I can't do it now with a little practice. Danny G, you're a strong guy. You think you could play varsity football as a 40 something year old guy just because you're like, I got man strength. And you think they would school you? I think you could, Danny. I could stand on the line, maybe like on the O line or the D line by. You're starting center, Danny Garrett. But if you're asking us to run up and down the field for the whole game, no. Damn, you have man strength. You're a grown man. What are you, six one? Like, you're. You're not a slouch. Do you think you could play high school football tomorrow? He's thinking about it. I paused for the effect, not because Sam forgot to turn your mic on. It was effect. No way. Okay, all right. It's an honest answer. You got to put your ego aside. I got to think about this. Let me tell you what. What about center, you complet Center. I think you could. That's pretty. Yeah. I don't know if you're saying size. No, I was a DB and a split this, you know, a white out back in the day, but those were many, many, many years ago. I thought the DB on your jacket stood for Dan By. I. I think about this often because, you know, number one coach here on Fox Sports Radio. Where's Doug Gotley, though? I'm telling him, bro, when I, you know, you rich. My son, he plays T ball. He's five. But I'll go around the pony ball facility and I see the 12U, 10U and there's kids that I'm like, oh, remember back in the day, there was Always a couple kids that were 12 that could throw smoke. And now you hear, you hear stories like, yeah, there's 14 year olds that are doing lessons, throwing that in the 80s when they're 14, 15. I just wonder if we are all delusional. If you're a guy that's, let's say 45 years old, do you really think you could go play high school baseball at night? The only thing they have on you is the fact that they're in that zone of repetition, of doing it every day, all the time. Yeah, but there's a poison confidence that you have that like fear is not a factor there. It's like, I'll give you an example. When I used to interview athletes and celebrities, right? I was always interviewing up. Like I was in admiration of them because they were older than me. Most of the time now I'm at the stage of my career, I'm like, I really don't care who you are. Let's talk about it. I'm not interviewing up anymore. I wouldn't be playing in fear. I'd be looking at this pimple faced geek being like, I can hit off this dork, fair enough. You know, even though he's got that, that skill above me. Give me a month. My ego says I could. So mentally, mentally I'm like, I'm in zero fear of this moment. Let me get some practice in. I think I can. So based on the story, guys, again, 24 year old Venezuelan dude, Anthony Labrador tricked the family into taking them in. He convinced Everybody he was 16. This happened in Ohio, he was starting JV. So aside from the crazy story, the fact that he was playing JV is like, he wasn't even playing varsity. What a loser. That's almost embarrassing. That's like the most embarrassing part of the story. Yeah. If you're 24 and you get a pose as a student, let alone he was freeloading off some innocent family, he's like, I'm gonna play jv. Yeah. Do you think Fox Sports Radio Nation that you could jump in and play a varsity sport at this age and stage of your life? It's gonna be different for everybody. I appreciated Dan Byers honesty, but if you gave yourself a few months, you're giving these kids a lot of credit. My daughters in high school, these kids suck. I'm serious, dude, to the high heavens they stink. Yeah, but you're also a grown man. You have confidence mentally, but physically they're pliable, you know, young athletic bodies. You're a guy that's like, you Have a bad weekend of eating too many food. You're like, I'm not saying you're going to best you. You had me going to Notre Dame High School to try to play. That's a prominent baseball school here in la. Saying you live in la. I don't know, I think, I think a lot of us would have a better shot spot who never played high school sports, I think would have a shot playing on a high school team. I think I could do it. Yeah. See, I mean, see, you get some reps under you. I'm not saying some field goals. Have you ever seen how bad the kickers are in high school? Some of these kids, they got legs. Think, yeah, I would get injured. Probably. That's what I'm thinking. I would get injured. Well, you know what? Trying too hard, you probably would pull a hammy. I gotta bring some, I gotta bring some reality to this conversation. I pulled a muscle running across the street the other day. Yeah, but hold on. That's why we bring this up, because we, you know, let's bring clarity to this. Fox Sports Radio Nation. Let's get you involved. 877-99-NOx. I feel like we are all, I love the confidence in this room. I really do. Because I, I, if anyone, you, you were a great high school ball player. You know, 20 years ago, I still, everything, I still, it's not baseball, but I still play softball like twice a week. So I throw and catch and hit every week. You, you, there are times where you don't pick up a bat for me. Give me a month or two to get some reps. And I'm, and I'm just wondering, like I said, I, I'll walk past kids that are teenagers playing and I'm like, yeah, I play softball every week. I'm, Is that the same? Could I get in the batter's box? Would a 16 year old strike me out and me feel terrible? I don't. They would call me bro. They would call me Barry Pepper, bro, because I'd be peppering everybody. Bam, Bam. Just like this short little. Binks. Binks, opposite field. Binks. Come on, dude. You go in a cage right now, you're gonna hit high speed. If you're just, if you're just pink. All right, making contact. Our buddy Sean, who listens on the iHeart app. It's a fun question, guys. And we're just trying to make you think about where you're at. And are you delusional or are you being realistic? This guy, who I imagine Venezuelan probably grew up Playing soccer. He was 24. He couldn't make the varsity team in Ohio. He was playing jv. Let me give you perspective. Sean. What's up, dad? Hey, Sean, what's up? Listening out here in la, he goes, guys, I played in an alumni football game 10 years ago, okay. It was not easy. Wow. It was full contact, referees and such. And I. And I dealt with very highly that I. He felt at the time very highly that, yo, you know, Sean's like maybe 10 years younger than us, so I'm guessing he's like 20. Heart attack. He was probably in his late 20s playing like an alumni game. And he felt at the time, that's great perspective. I am going to whoop these kids. Right, right. And he says it was a lot harder snapping the ball, going up and down. He goes, when you're 17, 18, you forget how agile you are. He said, we are great reality. He goes, maybe baseball, because it's more of a skill thing where, like, if you know how to hit a baseball, you could hit a baseball. Where basketball, you can't be the old guy hitting jumpers. Yeah, well, that's why we said from the start, Rich, it wouldn't be easy as long as you didn't have to run up and down the field the entire game. Right. We couldn't do soccer. That'd be impossible. Think about playing basketball, right? You get some endurance back. You're pulling all these old guy moves. That'd be sweet. But to Covino's point, about confidence. Yeah. Cove. To your point about confidence, though, I feel like if you were on defense in a high school football game, you could probably lay some. Some hits. I think so, dude. I don't know. Maybe I'm craz again. But you know what? That's why I like to keep that fantasy alive. And that's why I'm like, nah, I'm good on Sunday softball. I want to still believe that I can instead of facing that reality that your buddy show. I can throw a football over them mountains. Yeah, you might not be the one. You might not be the one getting up after the hit. I don't know. I like living in my delusion of, yeah, I still can. I'll tell you this. There are times I play with mostly guys 35 to 50 or so when I play softball, but we play in the highest level out here in Southern California, so it's a pretty competitive softball league. Every so often a new guy joins the team and he's like 28, and he's like five years removed from playing in college or something. It is abundantly clear that, oh, that's. That's agile. You're shagging a fly ball. This is the guy that's gliding like he's Carlos Beltran. He's like, ooh, I would not have been able to track that fly ball down. And you realize very quickly that there is a big difference between 28, 38, 48. And you got to remember the big leaguers, like, you know, it's a miracle when a guy plays in the bigs in any league till 40, because it's just science. You get old. Yeah, yeah. Honestly, it was. It was tough for me when I was 17 and 18, so why the heck would I be able to do it at 48? You know, like, I mean, not just, like, there's. There was effort and work put into it, and that was tip top. To think that now, especially now, it's 30 years later, kids are, as you said, more athletic, stronger at an earlier age. Yeah, just a different ball game. What did Yogi Berra famously say about the game? About it being 50% mental. But that's my point. Even though I can't make it. And the other 90%, something like that, that there's so much mental advantage I think you would have as a guy that's been there, done that, and you have no fear or respect for these younger guys in this fantasy. Right Again. And when I say respect, meaning, like, yeah, whatever, high school kid. Get out of my face. So Paris said, baseball is 90% mental. The other half is physical. Can I. That 90% mental part is where I'm seeing the advantage here. I know you're saying, for guys like us, when I was 17, if I saw a guy throwing heat, I may be a little nervous in the batter's box now as a grownup, I'm like, come on. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. I mean, until you hear that. That heater go by. I heard a Yogi ism that I'd never heard, and I heard Bob Costas talking about it. Have you ever heard this one? His wife asked him towards the end of Yogi's life. Yeah. His wife asked Yogi where he wanted to be buried, where he was born, where they were living. And Yogi famously replied, Adam, though, surprised me. That's stupid. So let's go to the phones and get to the bottom of this. Figure it out. Yeah. Will in Maine, Will, this 24 year old posed as a high school kid. Do you think you could still play high school sports? And he started jv. What's up, Will? Well, thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. I'm only like 10 years removed from high school, but I coach JV baseball in Maine. And look, I get it's Maine. Up until Cooper Flag, we didn't have really anybody that made the big four sports. But I think. I think the thing that I would point out would be conditioning. I have no doubt I could, like, make a good throw or maybe put the ball in play, you know, maybe strike a kid out if I got lucky. But, like, running to first base, chasing down a fly ball base running in general, all those things, I. I haven't run in a long time, so I feel like that would be the biggest hurdle for me. But I'm with you guys. The mental side. You do bring that male ego that, that. Yeah, that confidence you got. You got grown man confidence where as a kid you might have been a little insecure. David in Texas point man. Thanks, David. Yeah. How you guys doing? I'm 58 years old and I can't do no contact sports, but give me golf or tennis, I'm there. Yeah. I think you have to say if you were a decent high school athlete that, you know. Right. You can't. You can't have been a guy that sucked and didn't make the team then to then think you're making it now, that's big dreaming. But they would be like, gol. That guy would make varsity golf. I could see that happening. You started on your high school basketball team, and you're 38 years old right now. The question is, 20 years later, do you think you could hang? Right. And it's a good one. One last one and we'll move along. Seattle. What's up, Brandon? Oh, hey, guys. Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, I'm. I play center field up here in Seattle. I basically play every day just because I get calls, you know, you probably know what it's like, Rich from, you know, can you sub today? Or whatever. Yeah, I'm actually playing tonight in Burbank because someone's like, hey, can you sub on a team? So, yeah. So if you're actively playing rec sports, your mind is telling you, I could still do it, but I feel like if I played baseball against young kids, I get smoked. I don't know. Well, I think. I mean, first of all, you got to generate a lot more power to hit a softball 400 or 450ft. And then if you're robbing home runs, like, if I get up there, rob a home run and bring it back, I kind of Feel like it's pretty similar to a baseball, and I played baseball, so it's a little further to the wall. That's why the Willie Mays catch is so impressive. One of many reasons. But, yeah, I'm just as fast as I ever was. And I don't know if I'm different, but I think it's just, like, don't think about it and just don't be corrupt to the world and just listen to, like, awesome music. And I think Brandon's built different for sure. Different brand then, by the way, that was Julio Rodriguez. He plays center field for the Seattle Mariners. What's up, buddy? I would also just say that the sports that you guys are talking about are different. Like, he was just talking about. And you're talking about baseball, football. I just. I don't see it. Like, I don't know how you could do it right now. Well, the story was soccer, and that's an endurance sport. Sure, sure. But like basketball, you've seen old guys at an open gym be able to work their way around do, you know, do what they need to do. And they're pick and roll 20 years old. Yeah, exactly. You know, they got a shot or they just always call a foul on the young kids. But I just. I think football. Football is like the completely different animal. Sport matters. All right.

Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck, this podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and Meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then with where they'll say when cave people were here and I'll say it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6th where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today.

In 1978, Roger Caron's first book was published and he was unlike any first time author Canada had ever seen. Roger Caron was 16 when first convicted, has spent 24 of those years in jail, 12 years in solitary. He went from an ex con to a literary darling almost overnight. He was instantly a celebrity, he was an adrenaline and he was the star of the show. Go Boy is the gritty true story of how one man fought his way out of some of the darkest places imaginable I had a knife go in my stomach, puncture my spleen, break my rib. I had my guts all in my hands, only to find himself back where he started. Roger's saying is, I've never hurt anybody but myself. And I said, oh, you're so wrong. You're so wrong on that one.

Pastor Mike in Oklahoma. We're going to mail out a shiny CNR Swiggy to you there. Awesome. Well, hey, hey, by the way, before I go, guys, you guys were talking about your big three. I thought of mine. Yeah. If I could get a photo with anybody, it'd be Muhammad Ali. Nice. Roberto Duran. Good one. And Jennifer Coolidge. Jennifer Kulage. Yeah. Like. Like, hey. Yeah. She's my favorite. Can I first of all, say hi to Rob Baker, who's chiming in, Listening in San Antonio to our affiliate there. What's up, Rob? Hey, Rob. And I gotta throw out a name to you guys because I feel like it's 24 years later. Oh, boy. But if I give you a name, I'm curious if you will be like, of course I know. If I said the name Danny Almonte, is that a name everyone knows? Yeah, of course. Cheater. Yeah. I was saying that. A mustache. I was him. Do you know that name or are you just going along with us now? Danny Almonte. Would you have known he's the. He founded that fruit company. No, not. That's Del Monte. He was The Little Leaguer who was like, 25 years old with a mustache. Yeah. And everyone was like, yo, man, that ain't fair. He's the reason some parents yell, let's see a birth certificate. Actually, I was, what, 14, I think. Danny G. I'm so glad you said that. The 2001 Little League World Series with his high leg kick and a fastball that reached 76 miles an hour, the equivalent of 102 miles an hour from the shorter Little League pitcher's mount. Yeah, he was five, eight. He was a sensation. Turns out he was way too old to be playing. Not way too. I was exaggerating. He was, like, 14, 15. But saying he was, what, 11 or 12, right? Yeah. And I bring this up because I'm coaching 5U. Do you hear me when I say that? 5U like T ball kids. I don't even know how we picked All Stars. I think it's just kids that want to keep playing that are into it. By the way, I just searched how old was Daniel Monte, and it says 38 years old. That's how old he is now. All right, so did the man 24? Yeah, he was 14. Yeah. Okay, so he was about 14 back then. And I wonder if he's the reason. Is he the reason, Danny G. Why? For my. Get this, 5, you, Kindergarten, and TK Kids that I'm doing this little fun All Star travel thing, I have to present. I'm not even BSing you. At the beginning of each game, the league's like, yeah, you have to have your binder ready. I'm like, my binder? What do you got? Trapper Keeper. I have to have a. Essentially a Trapper Keeper of birth certificates and proof of age for my kids. Is this the Daniel Monte effect 24 years later? No, it definitely is, man. Yeah. It was such a big deal. There was a big news story last week where a girl playing softball, they made her cry because the other team asked to see a birth certificate on her because she was a big girl. Little League or, you know, little kids softball, sort of. Let's see the hands to see if there's any spider tank on it. Yeah. To be honest, it's funny that I have to have proof of address, proof of residency, and a binder of their birth certificates. Like, I had to tell every parent, like, group text, hey, for our first meetup for the All Star team, bring your kid's birth certificate. That seems crazy to me. They're five. I blame the movie Ladybugs. You know, spots say, great. It's a great blame there. I agree. But hey, if you're doing that coaching life, it's now's the time where everyone's in the All Stars and travel and if you don't remember the story again, Daniel Monte was a kid from the Bronx, Dominican kid from the Bronx, big lefty kid. He was 14, competing against 11 and 12 year olds. Did he ever play like minor league ball? He played for a long time, I remember. But I just, man, I just felt real bad seeing that he's 38 now. It's like where did time flies, right? J Stu, I know he hates that, but man, that's crazy. I think that's a great use of time flies because if I say Danny Almonte forever think he's a little eager, you know, you think, oh yeah, the 2000s, was that like five, ten years ago? No, no, no. The Danny Almonte, the little league kid that posed as an 11 year old at 14 is now a 38 year old man. He's approaching his 40th birthday. The kid who you think of as a cheating little leaguer. Exactly. So there you go. Have a great Tuesday. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Enjoy the NBA playoffs arrived at Archie, baby. See you in the promised land. This podcast is sponsored by Talkspace.
