Podcast Summary: The Best Of Covino & Rich – The Herd with Colin Cowherd

Release Date: June 14, 2025

Introduction

In this episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd, hosts Dan Byer (Covino) and Rich Davis engage in a lively and entertaining discussion centered around the vibrant energy of senior figures in sports and entertainment, with a particular focus on Pete Carroll, the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. The conversation weaves through celebrating energetic older icons, engaging interactive segments, and thought-provoking debates on athlete popularity and honors.

Pete Carroll's Energized Presence at 73

The episode kicks off with an enthusiastic discussion about Pete Carroll, who, at 73 years old, is defying typical age expectations with his dynamic and spirited approach to coaching. Carroll's recent activities at Raiders' OTAs (Organized Team Activities), including a viral moment where he pins down Thayer Munford Jr., sparked admiration and curiosity among fans and hosts alike.

• Rich Davis (00:03:14): "He's 73 years old. I'm like, that's my dad's age. I'm wondering if I could picture my dad with that type of energy. The answer is no."

Pete Carroll's relentless energy is portrayed as both inspiring and somewhat surreal, challenging conventional notions of aging in high-energy professions like sports coaching.

• Dan Byer (00:05:47): "There's no downside to his energy and excitement and his expectations. There's no doubt about that."

The hosts explore how Carroll's approach could positively influence the younger Raiders team, infusing the organization with a renewed sense of passion and competitiveness.

• Tom Brokaw (00:05:49): "Isn't there such a respect you have for the older generation. Like, you're supposed to respect your elders, but respect when the energy and the drive and passion is still there."

Celebrating Energetic Senior Icons

Following the discussion on Pete Carroll, the hosts transition into a broader celebration of older individuals in various fields who maintain high energy and remain influential.

Notable mentions include:

• Sammy Hagar (00:09:07): "He’s 77 years old, dude. The guy still parties. He’s drinking his tequila."

• Bruce Springsteen (00:10:40): "We saw Bruce Springsteen at a small venue. He's climbing through the crowd, surfing the crowd."

• Dick Van Dyke (00:12:42): "Dick Van Dyke still has his stuff together. Like, you ever see him, he’s like, all my friends and everyone know is dead. But I'm still kicking Dick Van Dyke."

• Clint Eastwood (00:18:53): "Clint Eastwood... he’s still directing movies."

• Henry Winkler (00:16:55): "He's one of the nicest dudes that we've ever met in Hollywood."

The hosts highlight how these figures exemplify vitality and sustained success well into their later years, serving as role models for maintaining a high quality of life through activity and passion.

Interactive Segment: Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player

To engage listeners, Covino and Rich introduce an interactive game segment titled "Chipotle Worker or WNBA Player." Participants guess whether certain names belong to professional WNBA players or Chipotle employees. This lighthearted segment adds a fun and competitive element to the episode.

• Tom Brokaw (00:62:14): "Rebecca Allen is a 62 forward for the Chicago Sky."

• Danny G (00:63:20): "Chipotle Spotty."

Despite some playful confusion and humorous guesses, the segment underscores the hosts' camaraderie and the show's interactive nature.

Debate: Lionel Messi vs. Patrick Mahomes Popularity

A significant portion of the episode delves into a debate over whether Lionel Messi or Patrick Mahomes is the more popular athlete in the United States. Drawing on social media metrics and recent high-profile events, the hosts explore the global versus domestic appeal of these sports icons.

• Tom Brokaw (00:43:18): "Lionel Messi has 505 million followers on Instagram compared to Mahomes' 6.7 million."

• Rich Davis (00:43:51): "In conclusion, based on everything we just discovered together, maybe Messi is becoming more popular."

Despite Mahomes' prominent status in American football, Messi's global influence and recent move to Inter Miami have significantly boosted his profile in the US.

• Host (00:43:57): "Lionel Messi surpassed Patrick Mahomes in popularity among American sports fans."

The discussion highlights the complexity of measuring popularity across different sports and the impact of international stars in the American sports landscape.

Honor Discussion: Statues vs. Street Naming

Another engaging topic is the debate over which honor is more prestigious: having a statue erected or having a street named after someone. Using the upcoming statue of Tom Brady as a case study, the hosts weigh the symbolic weight, permanence, and public significance of each honor.

• Tom Brokaw (00:45:13): "Statues don't miss the mark; they are reserved for legends who have made an enduring impact."

• Dan Byer (00:53:29): "I think the statue is the ultimate honor. Street naming is significant, but the statue wins for lasting legacy and admiration."

The conversation touches on examples like Vin Scully’s street name in Los Angeles and debates the longevity and public perception of statues versus street names. They conclude that statues, due to their symbolic permanence and selective nature, often hold greater personal honor, especially for iconic figures like Tom Brady.

Conclusion

The episode wraps up with acknowledgments of listener participation, congratulations to contestant Cody for winning the interactive segment, and final thoughts on the discussed topics. The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on the vitality of aging figures and the ways in which their energy and contributions continue to shape their respective fields.

• Host (00:75:26): "Nothing says Happy Father's Day weekend like a victory here on the show."

Overall, The Best Of Covino & Rich episode presents a blend of insightful discussions, entertaining segments, and engaging debates, all while celebrating the enduring energy and influence of senior icons in sports and entertainment.

• Tom Brokaw (00:05:19): "Pete Carroll is the type of guy that only plays to want to go all the way."

Use of flavored tobacco by teens is a crisis. Tobacco companies use flavors like cotton candy, watermelon ice and cool mint to hook kids like me. They seem harmless, but they aren't. Addiction to nicotine sets us up for a lifetime of health problems. Organ legislators can do something about it. Passing Senate Bill 702A will keep flavored tobacco away from kids. But there are just a few short weeks left for lawmakers to act. Take action to protect kids like me at flavors. Hookorgankids.org paid for by the Campaign for.

[Tom Brokaw]

You know, no sweeps. You got likely two. Two in the NHL and NBA baseball superstars. Like baseball's hotter than ever. Yet I could tell you I feel like in a month from now, we're all going to be honed in on. Ooh, what's going to be happening with the NFL. And already do you see how much fun Pete Carroll is having with the Raiders?

[Host 1]

This started last week. Danny G. Was super pumped about Pete Carroll's energy at the OTAs and that viral clip where he's pinning Thayer Munford Jr did everybody see that? He's so full of energy. You have to look it up. He's 73 years old. I'm like, that's my dad's age. I'm wondering if I could picture my dad with that type of energy. The answer is no.

[Tom Brokaw]

Can you picture your dad tussling with an NFL player?

[Host 1]

No. Here's what he had to say about it.

[Tom Brokaw]

We saw you wrestling Munford the other day, and now. I wasn't wrestling with him. I pinned him.

[Ryan Seacrest]

And today we see an equipment manager.

[Tom Brokaw]

In the bubble rolling around after stretch.

[Lester Holt]

What are the stories behind these things?

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah, I can't speak for the bubble thing. That was. They trying to surprise me with that one, I guess. I don't know. I didn't know that was happening. But they're taking part in it. Obviously. You know what we're asking these guys to do, to play as well as anybody that plays this game. We're not setting expectations. Try to win a few games and make some progress. That's not what we're doing here. We're trying to take this as far as you can possibly take it and see only the only perspective that they have heard from me, and that's the only one I can even imagine. I can't think anywhere Else. Pete Carroll is the type of guy that only plays to want to go all the way. Like, Pete Carroll is not the mindset of, well, maybe if we can make it to 8, 9 this year, play.500 football. Danny, you should be pumped as a Raiders fan that Pete Carroll has the mindset of, like, yeah, I'm not playing around. I'm 73. You know, I'm trying to win now.

[Lester Holt]

I'm cautiously excited about it because I've heard this before. Other Raider fans have heard this before. We heard this with Antonio Pierce. So seeing is believing. In this case, I love his energy and everything, but is this going to translate into the win column? I mean, I hope so, but they have a lot of holes left on the defensive side of the football, so they're going to need a lot of backup players that would be backups on other teams to step up as starters for them this season.

[Host 1]

It sets the tone.

[Tom Brokaw]

You got to turn your mic on the tone.

[Host 1]

So there's no downside to his energy and excitement and his expectations. There's no doubt about that.

[Tom Brokaw]

Does it translate in your mind like the. The message of fun? It would translate with little kids. It would translate maybe in, like, a high school. Do you think grown men, that energy of let's have fun. I think fun is just. I don't think it goes out of style. I don't think you out. I don't think you outgrow fun.

[Host 1]

Yeah, but losing is not fun. And you also have to be realistic.

[Tom Brokaw]

What's up, db?

[Danny G]

As a Seahawks fan, I don't want to speak negative about Pete Carroll, because it's not negative. But it did run its course. Yeah, like it. Like it did. Like it works now with the Raiders, just like it worked early with the Seahawks, really did. Then all of a sudden, your young guys become veterans or they've won games or they've accomplished things. So those things aren't maybe as exciting anymore. So it does run its course. But right now for the Raiders, completely new and fresh and maybe it'll work. But it really worked with the Seahawks, like, it really did. Early on, it just. But it does run its course.

[Tom Brokaw]

People said that about, you know, Jim Harbaugh as well. Like, there are some coaches that they come in and they make a difference, but it's almost like a. There's an expiration date on it, correct?

[Danny G]

There's an expiration date at usc.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah.

[Danny G]

So why the Raiders would be any different? I don't know. But right now, take the good times when you can.

[Host 1]

Well, we saw the energy with the Seahawks when he was running routes, that was a few years back. And we're like, damn, he's got some moves, he's got some hands. And now we're seeing him wrestling linemen and we're seeing. Yeah. How excited he is and how energized he is with his big plastic bubble balls and everything else going on at camp. It got us thinking about Pete Carroll and the impact he's going to have with the Raiders. And it got us thinking about the coolest old guys or seniors or distinguished gentlemen, whatever you prefer.

[Tom Brokaw]

Distinguished gentlemen.

[Host 1]

And you know what? That's no knock. When I said his energy level at 73, man, I could never imagine my dad. My dad getting off the couch is a struggle sometimes when it comes to energy levels.

[Lester Holt]

You know how grouchy most of our dads who are in their early 70s are and they need two big naps a day.

[Host 1]

So it's not a knock on my dad or anyone 73 who just would rather sit there and watch the news then get out there and tussle with young 20 somethings. He's an exceptional fella. He's an exceptional shape. Like, he's really full of energy. This guy. He's the exception. So based on that, who else comes to mind as far as exception or exceptionally cool for their age?

[Tom Brokaw]

It's a great question. And that's where we turn to you at 87799 on Fox, the most interactive show in sports talk radio. Let's get involved. Who do you think of when we say full of energy?

[Host 1]

Cool older dudes like, wow, hey, good for him. Something you strive to be in the future. Because when you see this dude, just the way he gets down to the ground, the way he picks up and shakes his lineman, the energy he has, the strength he has, the mobility he appears to have to keep up with these dudes the way he does. Man, that's. That's wild. We strive for that. At 73, you rarely see that rich.

[Lester Holt]

One of our favorite shows on Apple tv, Harrison Ford is one of the.

[Host 1]

Stars who I thought of them.

[Tom Brokaw]

I think of that, too. Harrison Ford, he's not young. You know, he's no longer.

[Host 1]

He's even older.

[Tom Brokaw]

No longer. Indiana Jones. I got 40 years.

[Lester Holt]

The show is shrinking shot.

[Host 1]

One that no one's going to say. So I'll get it out. The way we open up the phones, Danny G's on standby waiting just to say hi. 877-99-FOX. 87799 on FOX. @ Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Based on Pete Carroll at camp and his next level, energy and the cool factor. He's bringing the fun factor, the cool factor. I play this guy every Saturday and Sunday morning on Ozzy's boneyard. I'm on SiriusXM, channel 38. Hard Navy classic Rock.

[Tom Brokaw]

Not Ozzy, because I don't agree.

[Host 1]

He's the Prince of Darkness. Some say the Godfather of heavy metal, but I'm not saying. The beacon of health here.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

Sammy Hagar, dude. I don't know how he does it. He's 77 years old, dude. The guy still parties. He's drinking his tequila. He' his combo wobbles.

[Spotty]

High energy.

[Host 1]

He hits those notes. This is the thing. There's guys like Axl Rose who can't hit their notes. They can't sing, and they sort of lost whatever it was that they had. Sammy Hagar does this effortlessly still. I'm not even a big fan, Rich. And I'm telling you, I'm impressed.

[Tom Brokaw]

The number one answer on the board in that category.

[Host 1]

Hagar, 77.

[Tom Brokaw]

I have the number one answer on the board in that category.

[Host 1]

Go ahead.

[Tom Brokaw]

And I know it's true because I'm not even a big fan. Spot. And I saw this guy a couple years ago. He's 75 years old now. Acts like he's 45 years old. The Boss, Bruce Springsteen.

[Host 1]

This guy saw a picture recently. I thought it was Woody Allen, but it was actually Bruce.

[Tom Brokaw]

We saw Bruce Springsteen at a small venue. He's climbing through the crowd, surfing the crowd. Yeah, but ripping on the guitar. Everybody's got a hungry heart.

[Host 1]

Is that. That's not as hard to sing, is what Sammy hate. Can you sing? Can't drive 55 and hit those notes as Sammy Hagar hits. And he's older than the Boss, I.

[Tom Brokaw]

Think Bruce Springsteen, the show. He puts on props to Bruce Springsteen. There's so many people our parents age that look at the Boss as their guy.

[Host 1]

Like he's in the conversation. But you said he beats Sammy Hagar. I don't know about that.

[Lester Holt]

How about a coach you guys talk about probably once a week? Bill Belichick has to be in this conversation.

[Tom Brokaw]

He has reentered. He has entered the conversation. As of a few months ago.

[Host 1]

I was gonna say a year ago, I would have said no. He's a grumpy old. But based on what we've seen, all his little antics on the beach and his young girlfriend, you have to imagine maybe he's a little more fun than we thought.

[Lester Holt]

Moving up the charts with a bullet.

[Host 1]

Hey, he's having more fun than most of us. So, yeah, I guess.

[Tom Brokaw]

How is. I mean, I get it would be maybe in bad taste, but would there be no better spokesman for a product in the history of products than if Bill Belichick did some type of enhancement drug?

[Host 1]

I mean, like, there's never been asking. You shall receive.

[Tom Brokaw]

Maybe.

[Host 1]

Maybe you'll get a new sponsor soon.

[Tom Brokaw]

There's never been more of a perfect candidate. Imagine if it was. I'm Bill Belichick.

[Host 1]

Maybe you'll see him. Yeah, maybe it'll happen.

[Tom Brokaw]

You see these blue shoes or whatever? Like, come on.

[Host 1]

I don't know. We'll see. People ask me how I keep up with a 24 year old hottie. Here's how. Now, who comes to mind for you? Often we bring these conversations up. You know who always comes up? I'm just saying this because it always comes up a Sam Elliott. If we're having a mustache conversation, he comes up. Cool old guys. He always comes up. Who comes up? When it comes to cool older fellas.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'll give you one because you might say, come on, dude.

[Host 1]

And what's the age limit, though? We have to have an age limit.

[Tom Brokaw]

No, no, I'm the youngest. You mean.

[Host 1]

Yeah, what's the age?

[Tom Brokaw]

I gotta collect Social Security.

[Host 1]

Okay.

[Tom Brokaw]

Which is what, like 66? 65.

[Host 1]

Yeah, you have to be over. How about over 65?

[Spotty]

RP cutoff line. Yeah, 65.

[Host 1]

Because some people just look old and. No, all right. You have to be 65 and old. The discussion.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'm going to give you this guy only because he's still funny in interviews. And I'm amazed because he's almost a hundred.

[Host 1]

Come on.

[Tom Brokaw]

You know, Dick Van Dyke still has his S together. Like you ever see him, he's like, all my friends and everyone know is dead. But I'm still kicking Dick Van Dyke. I know you're picturing him doing his funny dances in like the 60s and 50s.

[Lester Holt]

Last year. Yeah, I was going to say last year. The year before they did that Mary Poppins special. And he was obviously the guest of honor, but he was mixing it up with all the people that are currently in the entertainment business. And he is like the Godfather of Hollywood.

[Tom Brokaw]

How many people make it to 99, let alone could move?

[Host 1]

His birthday's in December, so he turns 100 in December. How cool is that?

[Spotty]

I read an interview with Dick Van Dyke and he attributed to. He attributed getting sober in his 30s to his longevity. Because he said he's like, I was A real party boy. And he's like, I gave up drinking when I was in my early to mid-30s. And I think that that's probably why he's made it to 99. Plus genetics and taking care of yourself.

[Tom Brokaw]

Not trying to be, you know, slim, good body, or Mr. Healthier. But I read two things that once you become senior citizen level, the two things that could help you live a longer life if you could cut out there saying, you know, don't go overboard with red meats or alcohol. That's like the demise of all older folks. They just diet and drinking. So cut those things out. There's a few that.

[Danny G]

That's because they fall because they're drunk and they break their hip. That's. That's the reason why.

[Tom Brokaw]

You know what?

[Lester Holt]

While they're holding a hamburger.

[Tom Brokaw]

The truth is, Danny, every time there's like someone old in the family and you're here, like they fell and broke their hip, you're like, countdowns on. They're dying.

[Host 1]

Unfortunately. I got one. No one's gonna say, come on. Ready? Ready, Rich.

[Tom Brokaw]

Okay, man.

[Host 1]

I will find you and I will kill you. Guess how old Liam Mise.

[Tom Brokaw]

I was going to say like 60.

[Host 1]

58. 73.

[Lester Holt]

Same age as Pete Carroll.

[Host 1]

73. Still a badass. And he's got that whole naked gun thing coming up. So 73, we think of him as younger, therefore, good for him. Because I don't even think of him as a 73 year old. So he's got to be in the conversation.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'm going to hit you up with a 92 year old, which keeps going to the 90s.

[Host 1]

You're like way old.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah. I mean, you got to give props because the goal is to live that long, let alone not only live that long, still be active enough.

[Spotty]

Quality of life has a big thing.

[Host 1]

Part to do that.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah, like if you're like, you can't wipe your own ass. No, we're not talking about those people.

[Host 1]

Yeah, that's my dad's. It's my dad's will. If I can't wipe my ass. Kill me. Somebody kill me. He made us promise we would do that.

[Tom Brokaw]

How about a guy named Michael Caine? Michael Caine is 92.

[Spotty]

Have we seen him in a lot of stuff though, lately?

[Host 1]

I don't think he's that cool, to be honest.

[Spotty]

Michael Kine just old.

[Tom Brokaw]

Cross him off.

[Host 1]

I mean, he's had a great career.

[Lester Holt]

Okay. I have an actor who's cool, and to me, he's always gonna be 50. And he was just in the sequel for. Oh, Gladiator 2. We were talking about this a couple weeks ago. Denzel Washington, he's 70.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'm sorry, what?

[Lester Holt]

Yes. He's always gonna be a younger dude.

[Tom Brokaw]

I know. I know that black don't crack and black guys look better older, but Denzel being 70 just makes no sense. Like I would have thought if you would have told me, how old is Denzel? I would have said 59, 60. 61. Denzel Washington, I have one for you again.

[Host 1]

We're getting the phones going. You guys ready? 87799 on Fox. Because Pete Carroll's so impressive. The only thing that really ages him is his Phil Donahue haircut. The. The gray hair that he has. The Leslie Nielsen. But otherwise the guy's in great shape and full of energy at mandatory camp. This gentleman is the epitome. I know it's epitome. Relax. The epitome cool. He is everything that defines cool. He's 79 years old. 79. Hi. Hi. Wowee. Zowie wowie. Hi, Sam. Henry Winkler. Nice to meet you. The Fonz is 79.

[Lester Holt]

I heard you're on a TV show.

[Host 1]

I am. That's why I got give him props. He has a new show that starts this weekend on the History Channel.

[Lester Holt]

I knew this was an infomercial.

[Host 1]

Hazardous history that I'm a part of. So look out for it. But look, does he look older now? Of course. But is he one of the coolest guys we've. We've ever met? And not only the coolest icons, he's one of the nicest dudes that we've ever met in Hollywood. And he's still doing it. And everybody has a story about the Fonz or Henry Winkler. Everyone we've met has nothing but great things to say. How about his encounter with Patrick Mahomes? I have a spot for you at my table. My pleasure. How great is he? The font's got to be because he's pushing age.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'm with you. He's on the list. I'm going back to more 90 year olds.

[Host 1]

Man. You got a whole list of 90s.

[Spotty]

He's got a binder full of 90 year olds.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

Now we mentioned this guy the other day because after 30 years, Rick Moranis turns back to. To acting. Spaceballs 2. And from what I'm reading, a 90. Almost 99. Almost 99 year old Mel Brooks is going to be in the movie.

[Spotty]

He looks. He looks 99.

[Host 1]

I'll just say that.

[Tom Brokaw]

You know what?

[Host 1]

I thought he was 199.

[Tom Brokaw]

But the fact that he is going to put on costume, get involved and Mel Brooks is going to be in the movie at 99, I guess.

[Host 1]

Yeah. You're automatically awesome and cool if you could live and last that long and you're still doing. Doing it. I love it.

[Lester Holt]

I'm surprised that this dude's not on the top of your 90 year old list. He's 95, actually. Still runs a movie production company. They say he laps people on the lot. Clint Eastwood.

[Spotty]

Yeah, dude.

[Tom Brokaw]

Really?

[Host 1]

He's in that kind of shape?

[Spotty]

Yeah, he's still directing movies.

[Lester Holt]

He's still very. Yeah, he's still very active.

[Host 1]

Wow.

[Tom Brokaw]

Do you know, I read an article, remember I thought I was saying, you know, red meat not great when you're that old. His son, does he have like a handsome son? Scott Eastwood, right? The young actor.

[Host 1]

Yep.

[Tom Brokaw]

I think Scott Eastwood said every morning his dad has the same breakfast and he's like so diligent about his workout and what he eats every morning. Clint Eastwood has salmon and brown rice every day of his life. Like he doesn't stray from the diet. Like he. You know when you're like trying to get really in shape and you're like.

[Spotty]

I'm gonna have veggies and salmon meal prepping.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah, he does that at 95, which is hell. That's why I guess he's like that, right?

[Host 1]

This wealth, man. Yeah. If you want to live a long life, you got to do these things. I got one again, no one's going to say I'm bringing it back to sports Rich in tribute to Pete Carroll. Same age. Same age. And he's still doing it. In fact, he still wears a baseball uniform at 73. Ron Washington, bro. I love that guy. Ron Washington is still doing it. Still laughing in the dugout doing his thing. He reminds me like slick or something. I feel like he's still like he's still grooving. 73. Ron Washington.

[Tom Brokaw]

I mean he has a very little child because he had a way young girlfriend like a couple years ago. Who? Ah. Al Pacino is 85 years old.

[Host 1]

You know, the older some of these guys get though, like the De Niro's, the less cool I think they are. I'm serious.

[Tom Brokaw]

Some just politically.

[Host 1]

Yeah. Because is turning a little creepy to me.

[Lester Holt]

How about Morgan Freeman? He's. Was he 88?

[Tom Brokaw]

Morgan Freeman.

[Lester Holt]

He's still a cool dude.

[Tom Brokaw]

He's got the coolest voice there ever was. I thought you were going to say.

[Host 1]

You're listening still, doesn't he?

[Lester Holt]

He does, yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

I Thought you were going to say your fellow Lakers fan who made an appearance a year ago. Right. Didn't he go back to a Lakers game one time last year?

[Host 1]

Jack.

[Lester Holt]

Oh, that's right.

[Tom Brokaw]

Jack Nicholson is how old now? He said Jack Nicholson's got to be. He's 88. 88 years old.

[Lester Holt]

He doesn't have Pete Carroll's energy.

[Host 1]

No, exactly. He's not. He's not a beacon of health like that guy, for sure.

[Tom Brokaw]

So as we shout out all these old men that still are cool, do you think that 73 year old Pete Carroll's energy connects to these young Raiders and should the expectation be high? Because I really do feel like this. Not just because Danny's a Raiders fan. I feel like the Raiders are one of those teams that when they're good, I think it's just good for the league. Like, you know how this year in the NBA, the Knicks being good, rejuvenated like a really big fan base in New York City.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

I feel like the Raiders have such a big fan base that when they're good and there's equal number of people that hate the Raiders. So I think emotions are brought out when the Raiders are good. So for Pete Carroll sake, for Danny G sake, and for all the Raiders nation, I hope that Pete Carroll brings a little magic and some old guy fun energy to Las Vegas this year.

[Host 1]

And again, life goals. 73. If you have half that energy at 73, you're doing all right. So we get to your phone calls, we wrap it up.

[Tom Brokaw]

Next, can I throw my dad on this list who still likes to play beach volleyball on vacation?

[Host 1]

That is a party machine, that guy.

[Lester Holt]

And we're honoring the seniors. I got a couple of calls already saying I'm an old dude and I'm active. I'm in this league. So if you're one of our older listeners, we're giving you your flowers today, so feel free to call us as well.

[Host 1]

Yeah. And if you're a father, Father's Day weekend, props to you. And if you don't know what we're talking about, look up some of these recent clips of Pete Carroll again at camp, and the one where he's pinning down Thayer Munford. It's kind of cool to see that this guy's bringing that sort of excitement, just to even have that kind of excitement still isn't there, you know what I mean?

[Tom Brokaw]

Isn't there such a respect?

[Host 1]

You've been doing it so long, he's still that pumped about it.

[Tom Brokaw]

Isn't there such a respect you have for the older generation. Like, you're supposed to respect your elders, but respect when the energy and the. And the drive and passion is still there. There's an old guy that lives in the Valley. His name's Mike. I don't even know his last name. But you know what?

[Host 1]

This guy who runs this place. Yeah, he's like 125.

[Tom Brokaw]

I think he's only, like, 50. No, there's a guy that comes out to our softball games once in a while, and we let him. We let him. He's more than, you know, deserves it. He gets in the box every once in a while, like in between innings, and wants to take a couple hacks. Korean war veteran in his mid-90s.

[Host 1]

Wow.

[Tom Brokaw]

He just wants to come out, say hi to the guys, like, hey, young guys. He gets in there and just wants to take a couple swings, take a hack.

[Host 1]

Oh, time shake.

[Tom Brokaw]

Let me tell you, it's inspirational to see a guy 90 something that just comes there, walks by the park, hangs out for a couple innings, and he's like, hey, Phil, is it? Of course, Mike, get in there, takes a couple swings, and it's like, man, you got to admire that, right? Cool.

[Host 1]

It's really easy.

[Tom Brokaw]

It's reason to get. It's easy to get old and lame. Not easy to get old and be cool like Pete Carroll. Right? You got to be rooting for the Raiders to bring a little. A little fun to this year's NFL season. You got to be. Let's go to you guys. Who are your favorite old guys? Let's say hi to Travis in Los Angeles. What's up, Travis?

[Lester Holt]

Hey, Rich.

[Tom Brokaw]

I like your Bill Belichick doing boner pills thing.

[Lester Holt]

That's pretty funny.

[Tom Brokaw]

I mean, he should be right? I mean, what a lost endorsement.

[Lester Holt]

Well, imagine if he hosted SNL and.

[Tom Brokaw]

Then they did a skit, and he.

[Lester Holt]

Starts kind of pitching, whatever it is.

[Tom Brokaw]

And then his girlfriend's like, we are not talking about this.

[Host 1]

To be honest, I don't need him.

[Tom Brokaw]

So I think there's an endorsement there. Who else you got, Travis? Anyone come to mind? Cool older dudes.

[Host 1]

Paul McCartney and ACDC.

[Tom Brokaw]

McCartney's still doing it, man.

[Spotty]

And Brian Johnson, still with ACDC. He's in his 70s, I think. And Angus Young, I think it's really.

[Tom Brokaw]

Weird to think of some of these people that were young stars when we were little kids.

[Host 1]

Here's the thing.

[Tom Brokaw]

The idea of them being older is just life.

[Host 1]

Like I said, sometimes when you get old, you start exposing yourself a little too much or you stuck around too long. Like Al Pacino, right? Younger women. He's a what, 90, 195 year old guy.

[Tom Brokaw]

Looks like a Thundercat.

[Host 1]

He has Thundercat hair now and he's still a legend. That's not to take away, but Angus Young. Yeah, Sam mentioned him. He still wears the schoolboy out.

[Spotty]

He's 70.

[Host 1]

I'm like, yo, you're 70 years old. Maybe you dropped a school. You can't just die. To die in that outfit.

[Spotty]

70, you have to be buried in that schoolboy.

[Host 1]

How long is this kid guy being in grade school?

[Lester Holt]

Covino. How about older hip hop stars? Like, more people think of him as an actor now, but ice T is 65, yo.

[Host 1]

That's crazy. Yeah, he's right there at the old guy cut off, man. 65 years old and then he has those great sayings, those great dis Sayings that he has that I can't say on Fox. Eat Ebola. Yeah. Iced tea.

[Tom Brokaw]

I mean, and Law and Order svu. How do you not love him there? Don in Kansas. What's up, man? In honor of Pete Carroll, who's bringing the energy? Who are your other favorite senior citizens?

[Host 1]

So two things here. Fly. Stallone. I'm surprised you guys didn't say fly on the East Coast.

[Tom Brokaw]

How do we not mention our favorite guy?

[Host 1]

What do you mean? I was saving him for last.

[Tom Brokaw]

Okay.

[Host 1]

And then to go back about a week or two. When you guys talk about finding something, when you bought something, you're finding something unexpected. My wife went to an estate sale, bought a jacket, looked at it, two months later, $3,000.

[Tom Brokaw]

Damn.

[Lester Holt]

What made the jacket so special? I have no idea.

[Tom Brokaw]

It was the one from one from Rocky, too. With the tiger on the back. Absolutely.

[Host 1]

Hey, you brought up Sylvester Stallone. Dolph Lundgren was in the news recently. I mean, who was more shredded than that guy in the 80s? He's 67 now, so he's in the conversation. He's like a doctor, scientist, whatever. Super intelligent guy, super handsome. He threw out a first pitch for the Phillies. Did you see that? So, hey, whatever he hits, he destroys. But the guy can't throw at all. Those are your little sister I must break.

[Tom Brokaw]

Dolph's got a hot daughter that hangs out with. Whose hot daughter spot was it? Van Damme? The two. Two guys, hot daughters, like, hang out and do fitness videos now. It was Dolph Lundgren.

[Host 1]

I think it is.

[Tom Brokaw]

Van Damme and Van Damme, like their daughters are both smoke shows and they do, like, videos together.

[Host 1]

Van Damme is not in this conversation. He's 64 years.

[Tom Brokaw]

He's not there yet.

[Host 1]

Yeah, he's not there, but Dolph was in the news recently, so that's why I bring him up.

[Tom Brokaw]

What about you? Bring up Stallone, Arnold, fubar. There's a new season that on Netflix.

[Host 1]

How old is Arnold nowadays?

[Tom Brokaw]

He's got to be up there.

[Host 1]

How do you spell Schwarzenegger?

[Tom Brokaw]

Yes. Just had that.

[Spotty]

He's 77.

[Host 1]

Wow. You know what? That's great. There's no T, by the way. It's just Schwarz. I'm joking. But thank you, guys. We'll wrap up with your phone calls. We got Larry in Pennsylvania.

[Tom Brokaw]

Larry, what up, man? Hey, what's up, bud?

[Host 1]

Hey, listen, I'm 69. I'll be 70 next year. I play basketball in six pickup leagues here.

[Tom Brokaw]

That's amazing.

[Lester Holt]

Do you just stand at the three point line? Are you running up and down hustling?

[Tom Brokaw]

No, I'm running up and down hustling.

[Lester Holt]

Guys, are you.

[Spotty]

Are you in the same league as Arnie Spanier, noted league champion?

[Lester Holt]

He said, who?

[Tom Brokaw]

Who?

[Host 1]

You know, what is the secret? Obviously eating right, staying flexible, like Ichiro. You got to stretch. I tell my dad. Yes, you do something. Yeah, I don't want. I ain't got time for that. Time for what? You sitting watching Fox News 23 Hours of the day. You got time to stretch, bro. I think you got to eat, right? You got to stay positive.

[Tom Brokaw]

You can wait, dad.

[Host 1]

Life beats you down no matter what. I think you got to stay limber, man. I think you got to. I think stretching is such a big part of it. Spot. You're a yoga guy. You have knowledge here. I agree.

[Lester Holt]

For.

[Host 1]

For Father's Day, though, you should get your dad one of those, like, little cycles that you put your feet in when you sit on the couch. So you just keep moving. I've seen those. They advertise those little pedaling, those little pedal place going nowher.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah, I ain't doing that.

[Host 1]

Kiss my ass. I'm like, daddy got it. I mean, you don't want to be the hunched over old guy, you know, you got to strive to be like Pete Carroll, dude.

[Spotty]

Can I offer a random fact about stretching and aging? A lot of senior citizens get into accidents because they can't stretch to check their blind spot, so. But now we have blind spot assist, so that helps. But they used to just like. So you need to do. What do they call it? The cheerleader stretch, where you're on your. And then you put the leg over and then you stretch A lot of.

[Danny G]

Different ways that can go, right?

[Tom Brokaw]

I would say.

[Spotty]

Stretches a once and I. That's what I've always called it. But it's this stretching.

[Lester Holt]

I call it.

[Host 1]

I call it the Livy Dunn can't.

[Tom Brokaw]

I. Can't you. I always say I'm dressed up. Like when Will Ferrell was the cheerleader.

[Host 1]

No, but do you remember. Hold on. I was telling you, like, what's the secret? Right? There was a really. I'm not saying this guy was the beacon of health or should be in the conversation either, but do you remember there was a very famous quote. They asked Ernest Borgnine one time in an interview. This is before he passed away. They're like, ERNEST Borgnine, you're 198 years old. What's the secret to long life? And he didn't know that he was mic'd up because he's old as hell and he's on a talk show all mic'd up. And he goes, come here, I'll tell you. And he whispers in the host's ear, this is on YouTube. Look it up. And the guy reaches over. Meanwhile, he's still mic'd up. And he goes, I masturbate a lot. Swear to God.

[Tom Brokaw]

Not realizing that the mic is still on your lapel.

[Host 1]

So, hey, I don't know, but if we're having the conversation, maybe that's part of it.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah. Who knows?

[Host 1]

Well, I'm gonna live to 180 years old.

[Tom Brokaw]

You're a super agent.

[Host 1]

Let's.

[Tom Brokaw]

Carroll, let's go to DP for an update. Dp.

[Danny G]

Guys, guys. At the US Open, Sam Burns is now tied for the lead with JJ Spawn. Burns shoots 65 today. It's the third lowest round ever at Oakmont in a US Open. He has the second round lead with Spaw, who's won over on his round. Through 15 holes, they're one shot better than Thomas Dietrie and Tristan Lawrence, who are still playing their second round. Victor Hovland is at one under par and currently two shots back after shooting 68 today.

[Teen Advocate]

Use of flavored tobacco by teens is a crisis. Tobacco companies use flavors like cotton candy, watermelon ice and cool mint to hook kids like me. They seem harmless, but they aren't. Addiction to nicotine sets us up for a lifetime of health problems. Oregon legislators can do something about it. Passing Senate Bill 702A will keep flavored tobacco away from kids. But there are just a few short weeks left for lawmakers to act, take action to protect kids like me@ flavorshookorgonkids.org.

[Host 1]

I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here.

[Tom Brokaw]

And I'll say it seems like the.

[Host 1]

Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves.

[Dan Flores]

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.

I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes, but there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no.

[Spotty]

Across the country, cops called this Taser the Revolution.

[Podcast Host]

But not everyone was convinced it was that simple.

[Dan Flores]

Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

[Host 1]

I'm trained to go compete.

[J]

I'm trained to be, like, harder.

[Host 1]

But sometimes that mentality stops you from stopping and smelling the flowers in your own garden.

[J]

Is it wrong to want more?

When it's time for our tire rack play of the day.

[Tom Brokaw]

Tire rack.

[Host 1]

Another Stanley cup final game goes overtime.

[Tom Brokaw]

Breaking free is dry saddle to the next door. Leon Draisaitle has tied this series with his fourth OT winner in the playoffs. Final score, Edmonton 5, Florida 4 in overtime. Is that guy gonna have a heart attack?

[Host 1]

That was that Popeye calling the game there.

[Tom Brokaw]

That was an incredible call.

[Spotty]

Well, we had a play of the day earlier this week with him, the same guy on the call, doing an overtime call. And it was amazing. And this one's even better.

[Host 1]

That was.

[Tom Brokaw]

Hey. That was, of course, to tie up the series two games apiece. Oilers radio network. And that's your tie rack play of the day.

[Host 1]

And thanks again to our good pals@ Tirerack.com. that is rich. Thank you guys for being here.

[Tom Brokaw]

You think Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey were that excited? They were there last night showing some hockey love. Oh, hockey.

[Host 1]

No, no. Now, let's wrap up with our two phone calls and then we got to talk a little Tom Brady action. Okay?

[Tom Brokaw]

All right, buddy.

[Host 1]

We got Matt. Want to talk to Matt.

[Tom Brokaw]

Ma. So, Cal.

[Host 1]

Hey, Matt.

[Tom Brokaw]

Hi, Matt.

[Host 1]

Yo, Kovino. And Rich. Natural contest backed by sincere bs.

[Tom Brokaw]

Love it. Always good to talk to you guys.

[Host 1]

Thank you for the access. But before I say the name, if you guys have any background or any interaction with this guy, please drop a line or story because, I mean, I. I read up on him and how we got to where he is, but Jimmy Goldstein, I see at every NBA Finals game courtside. I've seen him at two games in one day and during the playoffs. I don't know if you guys know.

[Lester Holt]

He is or the audience know he.

[Host 1]

Is but a quick Google and there's no way any basketball fan doesn't recognize.

[Lester Holt]

I know who he's talking about.

[Tom Brokaw]

Oh, yeah?

[Host 1]

Where?

[Tom Brokaw]

How does that. How does that guy get everywhere? I know exactly who you're talking about.

[Lester Holt]

Kind of like Marlin's man in baseball.

[Tom Brokaw]

No, True. Trent in Ohio. Wrap this up, buddy.

[Host 1]

What up, Trent? Hey, guys, how you doing?

[Tom Brokaw]

We're good, man. What's on your mind?

[Lester Holt]

I appreciate you having me on.

[Host 1]

Love you guys. Love the show. I just wanted to say, throw out a name.

[Danny G]

A guy with a stat back in the day.

[Host 1]

Not a sports guy.

[Lester Holt]

But.

[Host 1]

How about William Shatner?

[Tom Brokaw]

Dude, William Shatner is a great answer to end on. I'll tell you why we had him on so old. We had him on the show and I remember when he came on our show during the commercial break, he was looking through his iPad. He had an iPhone, an Apple watch. And he's like, you must stay up on things. Like, he's. His whole thing was like you as you get older.

[Host 1]

And. And can I just say we've seen some great fights in history. Arturo Gotti's right that we've seen some great fights. Klitschko fights. Mayweather fights. Have you ever seen William Shatner when he fought that alien? It's one of the legendary fight scenes in TV history.

[Tom Brokaw]

Look it up. But if you need a good laugh, just.

[Lester Holt]

He makes out with an alien, too.

[Host 1]

Yeah, but they call it the worst fight scene ever. It's infamously known as the worst fight scene ever. And it's hilarious. But he's 94 years old.

[Tom Brokaw]

Look it up right now. So, yeah, William Shat. They're a great way to end it unexplained. We will talk about some Tom Brady and more fun.

[Host 1]

Next.

[Tom Brokaw]

Random question around the room. I saw that Patrick Mahomes got to hang with Lionel Messi. They did a Adidas commercial together. They did a Jersey swap. They were palling around. Bro huggin globally. I would imagine the answer is messy. But do you think here in the United States. In the States, is Mahomes a bigger star than Messi or. There's so many young kids into soccer that you'd say even here in the.

[Host 1]

States, Messi states, I'm going Mahomes because, I mean, it's America's game. Nothing bigger than American football in America, worldwide, there's no comparison whatsoever.

[Tom Brokaw]

A hundred middle school and high school kids, hey, kids, who do you want to come to the school? Would they say Mahomes or Messi? They.

[Lester Holt]

Most of them Would say Mahomes.

[Tom Brokaw]

I would think so.

[Host 1]

Right?

[Lester Holt]

In the US in the US Argue other parts of the world.

[Danny G]

I've never seen a Mahomes jersey out of my grocery store, but I see messy jerseys more than. It's a great point than that.

[Tom Brokaw]

That's why I thought it was an interesting question, because my first thought was, globally, Messi, what a big star. And I thought it was a cool moment that they did an ad together for Adidas, the jersey swap Bro Huggin. And I thought, well, here in the States, Mahomes, I'm like, you know what? Maybe not even because we love football and baseball and basketball, I feel like the younger generation puts soccer sort of in that category.

[Host 1]

There's no doubt. But there's way more Americans watching American football than soccer here in this country. No doubt ratings prove it. Yeah, there's just no doubt. There's no denying that. So just based on that, and the more and more it becomes an international game. But I do think. I actually disagree with Dan Meyer. Believe it or not. I actually do. I think in America, Mahomes, what would you say? I mean, just let me have America.

[Tom Brokaw]

He has the rest of the world.

[Host 1]

You know, he has the rest of the world. Messi. There's no denying he is a mammoth outside of America, even in America. But I think. I think my home still edges him out here. Can I just give you the popularity of America?

[Danny G]

But what about if you're under 21?

[Host 1]

Ooh. Okay, that's.

[Danny G]

That's just the only point that I'm thinking of. Like, the youth of America, we all love football. Football is like our fate, you know, our favorite. And I think that there's a lot of people like us, but it's a.

[Host 1]

Good debate for sure.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'll tell you what. We had the honor of interviewing David Beckham. We had a sit down with him when we used to work at espn. And when I tell you the vibe in the building when David Beckham came in was like nothing I've ever seen. Like, I mean, like security from co workers to everyone.

[Host 1]

Those big international felt uglier in our lives.

[Tom Brokaw]

That's true. Yeah.

[Host 1]

Yeah. What a stud.

[Tom Brokaw]

Like, man, what a handsome fella. But let me give you one comparison before we move on. I know social media is not everything, but Patrick Mahomes has 6.7 million followers on Instagram. Messi has 505 million. Can I give you those two numbers again? 6 million versus 505 million followers on Instagram.

[Host 1]

Yeah. Internationally. Insane.

[Danny G]

I just googled just this. The meetup And I saw the picture as well. Arrowhead addiction. So this is a Chiefs fan blog. The title says, Patrick Mahomes finally meets an athlete more popular than him.

[Tom Brokaw]

Oh, but that's.

[Danny G]

But this may be worldwide, like, to your point. Like worldwide. There's no doubt about it. But I think it's interesting when you talk about the US on what the. What the actual split would be.

[Host 1]

Yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

Like, I mean, Danny, your. Your boys that are. Your sons that are in College, were they 20, 22 years old? Right. Would they be more pumped? They're football guys, though, right?

[Lester Holt]

They. They don't give a. You know, what about soccer?

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah, so. But they really don't.

[Lester Holt]

They watch more NHL than they do soccer.

[Tom Brokaw]

I love DB's point, though. Of 21 and under 21. If I say a bunch of little kids. Listen, when I was a kid growing up, I played little league baseball. I played basketball. I never played soccer. Where I grew up, soccer was sort of like, meh.

[Lester Holt]

Yeah, soccer was something they played, like, in elementary school, in one of them, in middle school. But then after that, they, like, moved on to NFL.

[Tom Brokaw]

Can I say something and not offend people?

[Host 1]

Probably not, but go ahead.

[Tom Brokaw]

Where I grew up, nerds played soccer.

[Lester Holt]

Here we go.

[Tom Brokaw]

When I was a little boy. When I was a boy.

[Host 1]

You also grew up with, like, no people of color really either. I played soccer. Yeah, I played soccer.

[Lester Holt]

Okay. That didn't help.

[Tom Brokaw]

Proven Whitey.

[Host 1]

I mean, I play soccer. First sport I played. But in conclusion, Rich Proven Chat GPT says. In conclusion, while Patrick Mahomes remains a prominent figure in American sports, Lionel Messi's recent achievements and influence have made him the more popular athlete in the US at this time.

[Tom Brokaw]

No. So a robot said.

[Host 1]

That's what Messi GPT said. So maybe Dan Byers, you wasted 8.

[Spotty]

Liters of water on that?

[Host 1]

Yeah, I guess so.

[Danny G]

I just didn't think it was as obvious. I don't know which way it is, but I don't think it's the landslide that it appeared to be.

[Host 1]

It says as of mid-2025, Lionel Messi surpassed Patrick Mahomes in popularity among American sports fans.

[Tom Brokaw]

Wow.

[Host 1]

Maybe because Mahomes lost, Right? Messi's a global superstar. Social media.

[Lester Holt]

If we did a nationwide poll, I bet you it would be really close. It'd be split, probably.

[Tom Brokaw]

You know, it's interesting. I've seen Mahomes play in person. I've been to a Chiefs game.

[Host 1]

Well, it says. Hold on. It says Messi's move to inter Miami in 2023 significantly boosted his profile in the US and he was the first soccer player to be named America's favorite professional athlete, surpassing legends like Jordan, LeBron and Mahomes. So his popularity is continuing to surge.

[Tom Brokaw]

I was going to say, I've seen Mahomes play in person. And when Messi came here to the States and Inter Miami played lafc, we went to the game and it was an event.

[Host 1]

Yeah, it was awesome.

[Lester Holt]

I remember you said, we're going to go all the time now.

[Host 1]

Yeah, it was the first and last. How do you top it? You can't top it. Yeah, we had a great time. That's true. So, hey, I. I feel like it's Mahomes, but yeah, it's probably messy based on everything we just discovered together. So. Hey, Dan, I think you were right. If Chat GPT says so, it has to be.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it has to be. Maybe you're becoming a buyer guy. I'm not sure.

[Tom Brokaw]

Maybe.

[Host 1]

All right, now, I think there's an easy answer to this question, but we'll throw it out there, see how you feel about it, and again, we'll come to conclusion together. What's a bigger honor? A statue or a street name? What's a bigger honor?

[Tom Brokaw]

It's a great question because Tom Brady is having a statue erected. I said erected. Outside of Fox, he's erected. We've seen the amazing Kobe statues, Magic Johnson, some of the ones out of outside of Staples.

[Lester Holt]

Some of them don't look so amazing.

[Tom Brokaw]

And that's the thing too. Sometimes statues don't miss. They miss the mark. A lot.

[Lester Holt]

A lot of times lately.

[Host 1]

This is a 12 foot statute. It came to be. Kraft decided this has to happen six.

[Lester Holt]

Times bigger than AIs.

[Host 1]

Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah. And you know what? Speaking of soccer stars, we've all seen how bad a statue could turn out a la Ronaldo. Remember the whack ass Ronaldo and Dwayne Wade. Dwayne Wade's was not good. But then you say, well, we thought of street sign because Danny G. You brought this up. I said, well, what's a bigger honor? You get a statue. Unless you do some terrible stuff, that statue will forever live on outside that arena, that town square, that federal building. Like, if you're a politician, a president, an athlete, a famous person, that statue will live thousands of years after you.

[Lester Holt]

We just saw Travis Barker get a street named after him in his hometown of Fontana, California.

[Tom Brokaw]

And you know what? When I went to the Dodgers game a couple weeks ago to see the Mets lose again, because I never go when they win. Make a right on Vin Scully way. And I'm like, Vince.

[Host 1]

Honor. Doesn't Venezuela have one?

[Lester Holt]

Check on that.

[Host 1]

I think Fernando Valenzuela has one. Tom Brady statue will be erected outside Gillette Stadium ahead of their first preseason game in August. And they're going to do a whole ceremony to promote the 12 foot tribute. And it is quite the honor. Kraft said that the statue would perpetuate the legendary legacy of this once in a lifetime player. So based on that, we posed a question and I think the answer is obviously the statue because, I mean, you go back just into ancient times. That's how they. Yeah, that's how they immortalized their heroes and legends and leaders. And if you're able to do that in today's world with a bronze, a 12 foot bronze statue of Tom Brady, I think that says a lot about his legacy in years to come. And it lives on. And a street name. It always takes me back to the Chris Rock bit of anywhere in the country. If you're on Dr. Martin Luther King Boulevard, run, run. I'm on Dr. Martin Luther King, like, because it's supposed to be an honor and it's a tribute, but like, you don't know what goes on on that street. It's not necessarily. It's not good things all the time.

[Tom Brokaw]

I think there's a tier system and it starts with, oh, you're in the ring of honor or the team retires your number. Then after that it's I think hall of fame. And then I think after that statue.

[Host 1]

You got dogs tinkling on your street pole and bad things going on in that street.

[Tom Brokaw]

But I still think. And there are people that aren't even like the greatest dudes that have.

[Host 1]

What about street of the city?

[Tom Brokaw]

Key to the city?

[Host 1]

That means nothing to me. I don't even know what that means. What do they mean? Does it open anything? If you want to go to Dunkin.

[Tom Brokaw]

Donuts late at night, it unlocks the bathroom at the Chevron, the key to the city. But I think that, I think. I mean, I could be wrong. I think the street name is the ultimate honor where it's very cool, but it's not.

[Host 1]

It doesn't beat the statue. I don't think so.

[Spotty]

Can I just say that there is something cool about writing an address and that person's name is in the address and it's like a part of the US mail system. I mean, that's like forever cool.

[Host 1]

Forever, ever. But that I agree with.

[Spotty]

The statue is bigger.

[Host 1]

Neither are really forever. Everything has an expiration date, as we already established this week. Right. So the statue could come down one day. They could rebuild another stadium somewhere else. Someone vandalizes it and they can.

[Tom Brokaw]

They could rename a street.

[Host 1]

They can always rename a street, is my point.

[Tom Brokaw]

Because in New York Spot, our old stomping grounds. Remember the. The Kaziusco Bridge? Isn't that like rfk now, you. You could rename bridges and streets and all that.

[Lester Holt]

Usually after they honor somebody, though, they leave that alone. Yeah.

[Host 1]

Unless of course, that person does something terrible.

[Lester Holt]

There is one side of the statue argument, Covino. There's people who say there are way too many outside of Staples center. Whereas it's few and far in between when you have an actual street named after you.

[Host 1]

So what do you think? I think the statue is the ultimate honor. I really do. 87799 on Fox. Some say the street name. I have a question.

[Tom Brokaw]

Why did Chevy Chase get a street named after him? I hear he's not the nicest guy and he's a star. But isn't there like a Chevy Chase street out here somewhere?

[Lester Holt]

There is. Glendale, California.

[Tom Brokaw]

How did he get that?

[Spotty]

Well, he. That's not his real name. He stole that. He took that name, I think, from Chevy Chase, Maryland. Is it the name of the heat.

[Host 1]

Oh, so it's not named after.

[Tom Brokaw]

It's not the Chevy Chase.

[Host 1]

So in.

[Tom Brokaw]

In Hollywood, when there's a Chevy Chase street, that's not. That's not like National Lampoons Vacation Fletch. Chevy Chase.

[Host 1]

I didn't know there was one. Is there one? Yeah.

[Tom Brokaw]

Because I always remember thinking like, how did he get a street?

[Host 1]

Well, I guess maybe it's.

[Lester Holt]

I just looked it up. It says it's named after Chevy Chase Estates, a housing development established in the 1920s in Maryland. So he's a Chevy Glendale.

[Spotty]

Okay.

[Lester Holt]

But he.

[Spotty]

That's his real name is Cornelius. Cornelius Chase.

[Host 1]

I think the only thing, the only edge that a street name has stuck with that. The only edge that the street name has is the fact that the statue could come out weak and therefore it takes away from the honor. Like the Dwayne Wade story most recently. Yeah, that was cool. Kind of. Not really.

[Lester Holt]

Yeah, one of the Kobe's. Remember the arm? Too long.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah.

[Host 1]

But if it's a nice one, then I think. Yeah, that holds more weight.

[Tom Brokaw]

Lucille.

[Host 1]

It's just the risk of it.

[Tom Brokaw]

Lucille Ball had a famously bad one. We've talked about this before. We don't need to reiterate. But I do think Tom Brady. I think statues should Be. Should be held for guys like Tom Brady.

[Host 1]

Or how about it, like a stadium named after you. That's kind of dope. Or an award or a trophy. Is there something that beats the statue or the street name that we're not thinking of?

[Tom Brokaw]

But when you just said the statue.

[Host 1]

Right.

[Tom Brokaw]

We're thinking about Tom Brady. I think a statue does need to be reserved for a Michael Jordan, a Tom Brady, like a generational. Not like, this guy was the best guy on our team. I mean, no offense to Dwyane Wade. I love Dwayne Wade. I think he was a great player, brought the Miami Heat to an NBA title. Like, but do you think Dwayne Wade does. There's a statue, but maybe you're thinking.

[Host 1]

It'S getting watered down. Like, not everyone deserves one.

[Tom Brokaw]

But see, then I. Then I sound like a jerk. Is Dwayne Wade, I'm sure, is a great guy. And everyone in Miami would be like, yeah, I give him a statue to me statue. It's like, you're right. It's like, you know, George Washington has a statue.

[Host 1]

Like, to me, you know, our very own Rob Parker came in really proud one day, and I'm proud to say it's coming.

[Tom Brokaw]

Is it common knowledge yet?

[Host 1]

Oh, he's having common knowledge. Let's just say he's having something named after him, not give it away. And I think that's pretty cool if. If someone names something after you. A strip club.

[Spotty]

The name in the strip club after.

[Tom Brokaw]

Me, it's a strip pole. It's no longer Spearman Rhino. It's Spearman Parker at the Parker booth.

[Host 1]

So, you know, there. There's other honors that hold some weight.

[Tom Brokaw]

Might be my piece that. You know what your thoughts. We'll. We'll take your feedback. Dan Byer, any final thoughts on this?

[Danny G]

I think it's street. No doubt about it. I am not. The statue is too sports related. You put it within the city of. Go down two blocks, take a left on Danny G. Street. Like, like, that's amazing. Like, to go see the. To see the statue. Like, you're going to the stadium. You're a sports fan. To be a part of the city, in the community. Yeah, I gotta go. Street name.

[Tom Brokaw]

You know. You know what I always find interesting, Dan Byer? Being that I'm such a fan of history. I love watching Kavino's shows on the History Channel. And I actually do find a lot of interest in not only sports history, but just American history, because it really is only a couple hundred years. Like, we forget our. Our Country's like three old people old. Like we're only a few hundred years old.

[Spotty]

Remember that story from a couple weeks ago about the man who died in his 90s, whose grandfather was born in the 1790s?

[Danny G]

It's John Tyler's grandson or something.

[Spotty]

Yes, John Tyler's grandson.

[Lester Holt]

Because.

[Spotty]

Because the. The men had children at like 70, 80 years old.

[Tom Brokaw]

It is insane to think our country's that young. But when I first moved out to California, we're in Sherman Oaks. When you think of all the street names in the town, Sherman Oaks, Ventura, Encino, these things are all named after people that made an impact. And to me, that's the highest Van Nuys. That's the highest honor. And just a fun fact. It is true. When you go down the 101 here in Los Angeles, when you pass Balboa, that is how Rocky Stallone came up with the name. He was trying to think of a name for the. For the character Rocky and he was driving down as a Balboa.

[Host 1]

Yeah, Rocky Balboa. By the way, this is another instance, very rare, where Dan Beyer and I disagree. So we'll let Chad Cpt make the final conclusion. The statue. The statue is. Statue is typically considered the greater personal honor due to a symbolic weight, permanence and selective nature of who gets one. Street naming is still significant, but you could sometimes be more. But it can sometimes be more about publicly public utility than legacy alone. So if you're aiming for lasting legacy and admiration, the statue wins.

[Tom Brokaw]

Danbaier, don't you love how Covino trusts a computer, a robot over you? Now, is that the new thing, artificial intelligence?

[Danny G]

Yeah. Kavino just wanted to get even, that's all, with the whole messy argument.

[Host 1]

That's truly what it was to debate this alien intelligence. I just wanted to see. You know, this is a fun debate. It really is.

[Danny G]

How many non Patriots fans are going to show up to the Tom Brady statue?

[Tom Brokaw]

Correct.

[Danny G]

How many non Patriots fans are going to drive on Tom Brady street?

[Host 1]

Well, if you're Tom Brady, you probably get both eventually, right? I'm sure.

[Tom Brokaw]

So make a right on Buyer, then a left. Yes, he. That sounds good.

[Danny G]

Bob Kavino's a dead end. Kino Street.

[Host 1]

Just kidding. Just kidding.

[Tom Brokaw]

Buyer's a sweet Culdesac.

[Host 1]

Kavino's a dead end.

[Tom Brokaw]

What's up, Bob?

[Lester Holt]

Bob in Texas, Cavino is so wrong.

[Host 1]

What? What? Me and Chatgpt are the only guys that think statue.

[Tom Brokaw]

Hold on, Bob. I'm going to sit back because you can list. You can list all the things you can list all the things about look.

[Host 1]

At all of the statues that have magically disappeared. You have to go through zoning and the US Post Office to get a street name change. It's more permanent and it's more effective. And as Buyer says, people are going to drive down Tom Brady way more than they'll ever see Tom Brady statue.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah, I and I and I thought about this again like I said when I went to the Dodgers game and and your GPS is like make a right on Vin Scully way or drive and you're like man legend that deserves that's the type of, you know, that's the type of guy in name right? Like forever now. Kavino well, the Dodgers will be somehow tied to make a turn on Vin Scully.

[Host 1]

What says you? Your thoughts? Nearly 90% of kids who vape say flavors are why they do it.

[Teen Advocate]

A lot of the flavors that I've heard are like peach, mango, watermelon. It makes it seem like more childlike and innocent. Oh, I tried this once. It won't be that much of a problem. But then eventually it becomes a problem.

[Host 1]

And in last place would be none other than myself. I did horrible at this game. So in first place, Cody with a total of second. Him being that he came in first. You got to throw some koozies in there. Yeah, he gets koozies. You got to give him. Give him a little extra.

[Lester Holt]

Yeah. Cody, we're going to get that package off to Virginia for you.

[Tom Brokaw]

Thank you guys so much, man.

[Host 1]

Love you.

[Tom Brokaw]

Love the show.

[Host 1]

Thank you. Have a great weekend. That's awesome. So not only did he not come in last, he came in first. So he gets the swiggy and some koozies and. Hey, nothing says happy father's day weekend like a victory here on the show.

[Tom Brokaw]

Nothing says happy. Nothing says happy wnba. With the return of Caitlin Clark this weekend, something to watch out for.

[Host 1]

It's time for our express pros pro of the week. And the winner is Denzel Clark of the A's. Yeah, man, he's been in the bigs for three weeks and he's been making circus catches. And the highlights every night in that robbery we established this week it was the greatest home run robbery we've ever seen against the angels this week. And again, that's just one of many great catches he's made in three weeks.

[Tom Brokaw]

Call me crazy if it doesn't work out with the ace. He could be a Savannah banana.

[Host 1]

I mean, insane.

[Tom Brokaw]

No, seriously, the guy is a ridiculous defensive player.

[Host 1]

So not just the catch, though. Everything about it, the. The sort of mid air pirouette he did over the wall, the little swoop dee dupe and the way he landed it and growled and that's the official term.

[Tom Brokaw]

Swoop Dee Doop.

[Host 1]

Yeah, I named that this week.

[Tom Brokaw]

And not only that, he's had other great catches. And again, Danny, like you said, only three weeks right in the big crazy.

[Lester Holt]

I guess four now, but yeah, just got called up for that.

[Tom Brokaw]

I'll give. Can't give a backup, though. Pete Alonso, the guy's been.

[Host 1]

He's ripping it up. He's been a beast. And Soto's had a nice week, too. But Denzel Clark, when you think about who we talked about the most this week.

[Lester Holt]

Yep.

[Host 1]

You know, he was a big headline for me.

[Lester Holt]

And not just being a prisoner of the moment, we established that that catch is right up there. As far as a home run robbery, it's got to be top one, too.

[Host 1]

For real. So congrats again to Denzel Clark of the A's. He's your express pros. Pro of the week.

[Tom Brokaw]

Your boy Aaron Judge is.

[Host 1]

He's climbing.

[Tom Brokaw]

He's leading the 25, leading the league in batting.392. Now, if he were to get second.

[Host 1]

To Raleigh in home runs.

[Tom Brokaw]

Oh, well, you gave my answer, so there you go. I know Raleigh. Second to who in rbi? Pete Alonso.

[Host 1]

Oh. In mlb.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah. So Raleigh would be what stands in the way of an AL MVP Triple Crown if it would be the case. That's how dominant Aaron Judge has been. But somehow Pete Alonso has 63 Ribby's as of right now. All right, it's time for some weekend hobnobbin living.

[Host 1]

For the weekend, you're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing.

[Tom Brokaw]

You ever done anything dangerous?

[Host 1]

You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? That is dangerous. Friday brings us weekend hobnob.

[Lester Holt]

All right.

[Host 1]

Of course there's great basketball and hockey, but I'm kicking it off with UFC Fight Night. Usman Buckley, Namajunas, Maverick. Enjoy some UFC this weekend on hbo. Max, not the Hulu one that Rich keeps talking about. On hbo. Max, it's a documentary about Sherry Papini of Redding, California. The woman that they said faked her own kidnapping. This is the story from her side. Her side of the story. She tells you what happened in those 22 days she went missing. It's called Caught in the Lie. Sherry Papini. Worth the watch. I'm gonna finish that. So far, so good. Yankees, Red Sox. Let's go. You know, it's a dying rivalry, but I feel like it's coming back. When you think Yankee rivalries, now it's the Mets, it's the Dodgers, but the Red Sox One is heating up again. Plus you got the young star Anthony on that team. And I'll be, I'm gonna be tuning into that. And over promised episode 96. That's our boy bonus podcast. We want you to check that out on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. We talk about wasted talent. Saddest thing in life. Wasted talent in sports and life. Plus the party information because we're broadcasting live from Vegas next Friday. And great father son moments in sports for Father's Day weekend. That's over promised with Covino and Rich on fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.

[Tom Brokaw]

Now. You know, I always think that the best shows are on Apple TV because Danny G, would you agree for the most part they have. Apple TV brings it.

[Lester Holt]

Yeah, there's like 10 shows that you have to watch from that streaming service.

[Tom Brokaw]

The latest might be Stick. Owen Wilson, you know, essentially Washed up.

[Host 1]

The story of Jean Michael Washed up.

[Tom Brokaw]

Golfer finds a young kid. And it seems like a dark comedy. It's funny, it's emotional. I watched one episode I'm sort of pulled in. So Stick is great. And if you watch Tires with Shane Gillis on Netflix, I thought season one was good. What was the. What was that?

[Host 1]

Because you're just one of those guys that everything you have is a bad boy. Like just because you have Apple tv, you think everything's great on.

[Tom Brokaw]

Well, this is on Netflix, dummy.

[Host 1]

Yeah, well, I don't like him either.

[Tom Brokaw]

You don't like Shane Gillis?

[Host 1]

He's all right.

[Tom Brokaw]

I think he's really funny. And Jon Lovitz, who we mentioned before, he's a big part of season two. A lot of funny cameos. And season two so far for me, way better than season one. So tires. Very funny. There's a lot of of great rando documentaries to check out. There's one about. There's one about this cocaine plane. Have you seen this? There's a cocaine plane documentary and.

[Host 1]

No, but I saw the guy that survived in C11A in that plane crash.

[Tom Brokaw]

Oh my God. It's called Cocaine air smugglers at 30,000ft. That looks awesome. And I'll give you one more. Taraji P. Henson, who I think is great. She's in a movie called Straw on Netflix that looks really emotional and an action packed.

[Lester Holt]

It's corny.

[Tom Brokaw]

You think it looks corny?

[Lester Holt]

It does look corny from the trailer.

[Tom Brokaw]

Thanks, Danny.

[Host 1]

What you got?

[Lester Holt]

Keeping it Real.

[Tom Brokaw]

Oh, and by the way, in the theaters, how to Train a Dragon. Live action.

[Lester Holt]

Yeah. Every time that commercial comes on, CO goes nuts. I've Been telling you guys now since last weekend when I finished it. This Dale Earnhardt documentary. It's a docu series, four part.

[Host 1]

I heard it's a tear jerker.

[Lester Holt]

Dude, 10 out of 10. It is an in depth look at his life, his son's life. Stepmom is a big part of it. And it's about. We talked about this topic yesterday. Rich balancing a professional sports career with personal relationships.

[Tom Brokaw]

Yeah.

[Lester Holt]

And I'm serious. By the time he gets into that crash, which, by the way, played out like a movie with all this real footage and everything from nascar. What an amazing story. And I didn't know a lot about this because I wasn't watching race racing as a kid or anything. But you don't even have to be a race car fan. Watch it. It's on Prime. Amazon Prime.

[Tom Brokaw]

Okay.

[Lester Holt]

Earnhardt, four parts. You're gonna love it.

Father's Day.

[Teen Advocate]

Use of flavored tobacco by teens is a crisis. Tobacco companies use flavors like cotton candy, watermelon ice and cool mint to hook kids like me. They seem harmless, but they are. Addiction to nicotine sets us up for a lifetime of health problems. Organ legislators can do something about it. Passing Senate Bill 702A will keep flavored tobacco away from kids. But there are just a few short ones. Weeks left for lawmakers to act. Take action to protect kids like me at flavors. Hook, Oregon kids.org paid for by the.
