I feel like a trick is being played on our buddy Bersch here at work. Is he getting got? Got him. Bursch got him is right. I walk into his studio because Burch does a great job pulling clips and editing and putting out the social media posts. I go burst. What are you scared of vampires? What's going on here? He has no joke ropes of garlic, and I'm like, dude, relax. What is it Nosferatu? Is he. Is he around here somewhere? I'm looking for bur. That's how he keeps the chat away from his editing studio. Nosferatu is here. I was like, on fsr. All you need to say is, rich Davis, shut up a little bit. You don't need to hang garlic in your office. This guy has silver bullets, crucifixes, garlic. We're trying to figure out what's going on. And word on the streets is he's eating chunks of garlic. Garlic cloves. He's gnawing on garlic as we speak because Ben Maller told him it helps with a cold. Yummy. But he looks miserable in there. Just trying to get through it, like whatever his little cold symptoms that were coming on, because I get it. We all know that feeling where you're like, oh, man, my gross kids are sick. I feel something coming on. I want to stop it. It's a preemptive measure. Some people take airbor. Some people say, that's B.S. other people say, oh, let me get some vitamin C. Why don't you tell him if you rub onions on the bottom of Your feet. It helps cure the cold quicker. What are you. That's what I'm saying. I almost feel as though Ben Maller. Ben Maller, through another one of our great producers, Brie. Yeah, they're both in on this. Has told Bersch to eat cloves of garlic. His office smells. He looks miserable, and I can only believe they're playing a trick on him. I should tell him what my grandma told me. You got to rub your belly and say, sana, sana colito de rana. Didn't you say most Latinos just rub Icy Hot everywhere? Vicks vapor. Yeah, rub it on your feet, your chest, up, your nose. Yeah. Not on your huevos. Not on your huevos. And as Chris Rock often said, you know, just the tussin. Get the tussin. Tussin for everything. So get him some Icy Hot and tussin, but not Icy Hot. It's always Vicks has always Vicks. Has anyone ever tricked you? I know it's a random question, but I almost feel like that's something like one of your college bros or one of your buddies when you played high school or college sports would be like, oh, you're feeling this. Do this. A lot of people swear by, like a garlic. And I've heard mixing honey with garlic, like letting them seep together, creating a concoction that it can help kind of ward off when I have a sore throat. Being in this business for all these years, for me, I use a concoction of like ginger, lemon, ginger and honey. That kind of vibe, that kind of tea. And he said he was having a sore throat, so the whole garlic thing was a little odd. I like garlic so it wouldn't bother me as much. But he's eating it raw by the chunks. I like it on spicy. I like it on bread and Italian food, Right? No. Mahler has raved about this on our network for years. He says he takes the garlic cloves, he sucks the juices out of it, and it kills whatever is starting to infect his throat. Mallor's like a. Inflammation, probably. Mallor's like a seven. He's a seven foot goon, so no one has to breathe directly in his mouth, like, area. Right? Poor Bur. I walked in, I'm like, why are you so sad? Oh, that's why. Because he was trying to eat these. Now, are there other things that you've tried because some bozo at the office suggested it? Hey, I'll give you a story that really worked and it was wild. You're not Gonna believe me. Danny G. Dan Beyer. I want all of your attention. I was going through a really tough time financially for multiple reasons, mostly my ex, and we're not gonna talk about that. But I was flying back and forth, and I had to sell my place on the East Coast. Let the record be stated, I did not bring up his ex wife. Yeah, but you were. He did. I. I know he was. The minute you said I was going through financial times, I'm like, mercedes truck, second household. Okay? All the things that you're exacting, run, drive for choices that I was making. Right. I'll take responsibility and accountability. But I had a house on the east coast, and it wouldn't sell. It wouldn't sell. And it was a townhouse in a whole townhouse community. And everyone in that community was short selling their property. And I was not. So I was at regular price. What the regular value was trying to compete with other places in the area short selling their properties. So no one was buying my place. My place was double the cost of every other place. A colleague of mine, a makeup woman named Angela, is like, here's what you got to do. She's like, you gotta be careful. Be careful with those makeup conversations. Oh, yeah, they're being recorded. I heard. She goes, you gotta find a statue of St. Joseph. She's like, you know, St. Joseph? I'm like, yeah, what about him? She's like, you gotta buy one of those statues and bury it in the front. In the front lawn or whatever and say this prayer. I'm like, what prayer? I knew nothing about this, but I was so desperate, I was all ears. What was the prayer? Michael, hi. Make a hiney ho. She said, you have to repeat after me in John B's Mecca, like a high mecha. Hiney ho. What are you, P.W. herman? Upside down, Right? So she was kind enough. She knew every day I'd come into the makeup chair. Basically, your makeup person at a gig like that is like your psychiatrist, right? They just listen to all your problems. And I'm always telling her about this dilemma I'm in, if you're a good guy. She eventually bought me a St. Joseph statue. And it came with the prayer and everything. And I read it, and it had rules to it. Like you got to bury it after midnight. It had all these different rules to it. Bury it upside down and say this prayer, and you got to believe. And I was so desperate to sell this house. Years had gone by. No one was buying it. I buried the St. Joseph. I said the prayer after Midnight, I did the sign of the cross. And you howled at the moon, Right? Howled at the moon, just like the instructions. Didn't your curb appeal. Didn't your curb appeal go down? There was a big hole in his eye. S. You not. I sold that place two weeks later. Not zany, not coincidence. Wow. I couldn't sell it for years. Statue, not coincidence. It was just some zany thing that I heard or I thought was zany at the time. Like, yeah, right. Tried it. Worked. So, hey, maybe Bursch is on the right track. Eating raw garlic in the office, even though offensive to everybody else, hopefully it helps him if you have. I know there's so much NFL to get to, but I find this to be actually more interesting in the moment. If you have an odd home remedy that you swear by. I mean, these things happen in sports, to be honest. Someone gives some weird advice, and they tinker with their batting stance. Turns out to work. Man, would you believe it? There was one time, Honestly, there was one time that I thought I was going to be unable to fight. And this old Asian guy was like. And he rubbed his hands together. You know what? Mr. Miyagi, do you know this guy? I've heard of him. Of Miyagi del Carrato? Yes. It's big out here in the Valley. I had such an issue early on in my baseball career. You know, probably in my prime of 12ish, I think, little League. I just kept uppercutting the ball, cutting up, popping up, popping up, popping up, Dropping that back elbow, dropping that back elbow. And I had a coach say, look, this will probably help you fix it. Just keep your bat level from the start because you're getting too herky jerky going for the fence. Just bat level back and just swing through forward so you, like, almost like the wall. E back. I cut down my motion. Instead of doing all this right, I just went from here to here, and boom. Line drive, Boom. Frozen rope. Boom. Line drive. Slump buster. Small adjustment, small advice. Sounded dumb at the time. Ended up working. I'd rather look good and hit 200 than weird and hit 300. I look weird. Yes, yes. I. I got. I got photos of it, too, because. And then people would, like, imitate me. Like, that's how I battle. Don't make me look like Craig Counsel for. For an extra 20 points. Come on. It's true. So, yeah, it does apply to sports because you're like, really? And then some of these old timer tricks work. They can be ridiculous, like eating garlic. But you're right. There's like, real slight adjustments. Like, you saw the pitcher on the Mets maniah. He dropped his arm angle slightly. And just that slight. That slight angle. He went from an era in the fours. The second half of the year, he was, like, unhittable again. In sports, it could be a little adjustment, but I want to hear the ridiculous ones. Like, hey, you got a sore throat? Eat raw garlic. Like, you're like, you're preventing vampires. Yeah. I'm reading here online that garlic, also, they claim that it's cures athlete's foot. Is that why he has them around his ankles? There's, like, antibacterial properties associated with garlic. So maybe because athlete's foot's a bacteria, it can kill it. Can I tell you something? When my wife was pregnant with our first kid, my daughter Emmy, you know how every guy listening, you know how your wife is toward month eight or nine, where they're like, I just want this baby out of me. They are sick of being pregnant. We went to a pizzeria in Burbank, California, that is known for, like, if you eat this salad, the salad dressing, like, induces laundry. Where there's pictures on the wall of all these women that were like, my baby came two days after I had this salad. So I remember going to Burbank being like, are you out of your mind? But I didn't say that because my wife was, like, nine months pregnant. But I'm like, sure, let's go get that salad. People will do crazy things. So shout out to Burr. She does a great job here every day. But I'm in his office, and he's got, like. Like I said, got garlic hanging from, like, his bed frame. Yeah. Had it around his necklace today. Yeah. So did your grandma ever give you a spoon of sugar for your hiccups? Yeah. That can't be true. But my mom and grandma both did that. She had diabetes, so I heard. It helps the medicine go down, by the way. My mom and grandmother both. Damn it. That's weird. Here's a spoonful of sugar. Yeah, Grandma, you take sugar for everything. A lot of grandmas and old people have these old school remedies that could. A spoonful of vinegar. Yeah. Or is it all bs? I don't know. I actually tried that recently. I didn't know I had a clog in my turret. Nothing crazy happened. It was clogging. Right. And it wouldn't fix. And I read that Drano is no good for the turret. It's bad for your pipes. Yeah, right. So I'm like, I tried the Dishwashing soap and hot water. And then I tried vinegar and baking soda. Did you try a plunger? I, of course tried a plunger. And. And, you know, after a while, after a few days, you try sticking your arm. You try sticking your arm down there. Yeah, been there, done that. I like to preface. Nothing crazy happened. Something happened. Nothing crazy happened. There was a work boot stuck in there. But anyway, I did eventually get it working without any, you know, weird things. So anyway, I did vinegar and baking soda. The foaming and listen, we're all. Listen. My feeling is that if you hit around 40, every guy and girl is trying to find different ways to, I guess, better their health. I see all these idiots that you see on social media, like, first thing when I wake up and I've tried them. Like, I have a lemon tree in my yard and all these lemons just go to waste. So I'm like, you know what? Maybe every morning I'll have warm lemon water. I did it for like a couple weeks. I'm like, I feel nothing different. But bring those lemons in. We'll eat. We'll take them. You know, you want to make a lemon? Some lemonade? Well, yeah, there's some free lemons in here right now, but I want more. I'll bring lemons for everyone. Don't. Lemons. But yeah, no. So, I mean, these little tricks. What works, what doesn't? Again, we'll get to NFL and all the other stuff. But it was funny. We walked in here today and Bursh is in a pool of garlic. He's just trying to ward off the kavorka. Remember that episode of Seinfeld where Kramer has to wear the garlic necklace because he's got the kavorka and he has to get rid of it? It's like the peel. Sometimes when you're desperate, you'll try anything. So Ben Maller could have told him anything and he would have gave it a go. That's the point here. We'll take a few phone calls and then we got to talk. Jaden Daniels, There's a funny story about him. We got to get to him and how he's going to watch the Super Bowl. Or is he going to watch the Super Bowl? Want to take a few phone calls? Let's go back. Danny G's on the phones. 87799 on Fox. That's our number. 87799 on Fox. Or hit us up at Covino and Rich. Start with Dave in Ohio. What's up, Dave? Hey, how you doing, guys? Love the show, man. What's up, brother? So I'm on the phone with my mother 100 years ago talking about whatever, and I look down, I got this award on my finger, and I tell my mom, man, I've had this wart on my finger. I've tried compound W. I've tried everything, and it just keeps coming back, coming back. She says, cut a potato in half, rub it on the wart, and go outside and bury the potato. So I think, well, you're nuts. But laughingly, cut the potato in half, rub it on the wart, take it outside. And it was thunderstorm that day. I remember out in the rain, my wife called me crazy, buried the potato about a week, the wart's gone. And I thought it was the acid from the potato or whatever we eat. Whatever it was, hadn't been back, never came back. There you go, boy. Whoa. I love that story. Now I'm thinking, can I use that on my wart? I was gonna say, is that why you put a potato in your pants? Hey, Sam, that wart you got, I heard if you rub a potato on it and put it in your pants. Well, I heard it gets. It goes away real quick. And then if you bury the potato, will it grow a potato like the. Will we get more potatoes out of this? Why do you have to bury. That's the weird. That's. That's the. I think he could have just rubbed the potato. Yeah. But thanks for sharing, man. Trevor, real quick and Waco, and then we'll move on. There's a Jaden Daniels super bowl story, and you're like, wow, that makes sense. It does. What's up, Trevor? Hey, what's going on, guys? Thanks for taking my call again. No problem, man. What's up? I don't have any personal. Well, I mean, this kind of plays into a personal story. But real quick. Mark Grace want to say he played for the Cubs back in the day. I think he was on the Jim Rohn Show. He said, anytime your team or you're in a personal slump, just find the gnarliest, fattest chick you can find at the bar and lay the wood to her. And the slump buster. And I know it sounds a little off color, especially in today's world. It's a true story that he tells. Yeah. So that is an old story. And it's gone viral recently on social media. And what was said then on Rome show just hits the ears. So different in today's so many slump busters. So many sensitive weenies these days. I know, but you Know, apparently worked the same thing with the. The legend of the golden thong for the Yankees. You heard that story, right, where Jeter was going through a slump and he doesn't say who it was, but everybody knows it was Giambi that told him that anytime I'm in a slump, I wear this gold thong. So Jeter wore it in the first pitch he saw a home run. Boom. Yeah, golden thong. Sometimes these things work, these little tricks, and maybe garlic is the key here if you got a sore throat or something. All right, well, hey, Jaden Daniels, let me set this up. Jaden Daniels says, I'm not bitter. I'm bitter. Is that what your therapist said? Don't be bitter, be better. Jayna Daniels says, I'm not bitter. We had a great season. I'll probably watch the Super Bowl. So I got to ask, do you assume that the NFL watches the super bowl, all these players on the losing teams. If you lost in the the playoffs, divisional round championship, didn't make the playoffs, are you assuming all the players like, yeah, I'm honed in. It's a Super Bowl. If it's making news that he's probably going to watch, then most people would assume that there's a lot of bitter players who didn't make it that don't watch because why would this be news otherwise? I heard my dude Debo in the 49ers, Debo Samuel said, yo, I hate the Chiefs and I have plenty of good reason. They beat me in the super bowl twice. So we have other examples of things that you do or maybe don't do in regards to this Janiel Daniel, Jaden Daniels, update. Pat Riley. That guy's going to be wearing his Travis Kelsey jersey listening to Taylor Swift on the way to the stadium. So maybe that's why they're going to go at three. Chief. Yeah, I was just going to say, yeah, Rich. No sense at all. Chief Pete fall under that. Like, is anything stash Pete? Yeah, but you heard when they won, I'm like in their chance for the Chief Pete. The three Chief. Chief Pete Three. Romo kept fumbling. First of all, three Chief makes no sense whatsoever. Not the first time. Yeah, but Chief Pete, that is. Is that a loophole or what? I don't know. Is it better than 6 Berg 6? When the Steelers, when they're 6, they called it a 6. Bur. Trademarking. It depends on the trademark rules. And trademarking can be, like, very loose depending on the interpretation. So, like, the Dash Pete might be part of the trademark. It might not like any iteration of 3 Pete may not be able to be used without some sort of licensing issue. Well, it's interesting. Pat Riley owns multiple trademarks of the phrase 3 Pete. The letter, the word 3 Pete. 3 Pete spelled different ways. He has it covered. So Chief Pete might not fall into it. Yeah, it says the three. You're right, Rich. Three Pete. T, H, R, E, E, three Pete together with no hyphen. And then the number three for three Pete. Well, legend has it that the Los Angeles Lakers guard Byron Scott was the first person to ever say, yo, let's go for the three Pete. Back in the 80s Lakers days, which became the motto of the 88, 89 Lakers. Their quest for three in a row. Riley, head coach at the time, said, hold on, I'm going to trademark that. And goes on to trademark it. Shirts, jackets, hats, jewelry, mugs, posters, everything is sold over the last 30 years. And know who reaps all the benefits. Pat Riley would like an organization like the Chiefs. Avoid using that terminology then, because it is owned by. Or would they, like, buy. Would they pay Pat Riley to be able to use. That works. I would just roll with Chief Pete. It sounds. But it makes no sense. But if you avoid the money, I mean, Yankees, Chief Pete sounds all right. When the Yankees won three in a row. Chief makes no sense. Yo. When The Yankees won three in a row in the 90s, 98, 99, 2000. They did not avoid saying three peat. No. Maybe Riley got paid. I never thought about it. Can you say it? But you can't put it on a shirt. Like, can you say. It's like camera. It's like Michael Buffer. Don't do it. Don't do it. He gave me permission. No, I don't care. He did. Well, you could do. Don't get your finger off that dumb button. Now, he. We hung out with Michael Buffer at a Super Bowl a couple years ago. I know where you're getting at. And I go, could I say it? He's like, God, you could say it to him in that room, but don't say it here. Yeah. Now you got me scared. Listening. Now you got me scared, Sam. They're always listening. Let's take one quick phone call talking about, like, random remedies for your problems, your illness. What are these random solutions? And then we got to Talk. Jaden Daniels. Yep. 87799 on Fox. We got DJ. DJ Different. What's up, Kansas? Hey, how you got. Thank you for taking my call. Look here, I took a ballet back in the day. And also when Lance, Juan, did ballet dances help you keep your balance? And now I tell my ball players to do it and they say think of weird or quirky. But one ball player made a big difference in his game and they copied off his teammates. So that's a great, that's a great example. Like honestly, Lynn Swan taking ballet, which was the most, let's be honest, like back in the day, like you said ballet guys would be what was a foofy Ballet. Ballet. It's a common one. Again, a weird solution to make that improvement. Vasily Lomachenko, one of the pound for pound greats, credits his amazing footwork in the ring to dancing. So, you know, you hear these things all the time. But thanks again. You want to chime in, Hit us at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Now, Jaden Daniels says he's probably going to watch the Super Bowl. Probably, you assume, like, why wouldn't you watch the Super Bowl? But he goes on to explain that he's not bitter about it. Says he's going to watch despite the feeling of being sick after the loss. So he says, I'm not a bitter individual. I'll probably tune in. Which, which would imply that most of the losers that didn't get there don't watch because they're bitter and it upsets them. Yeah, listen, if you lose a game the way the Bills lost, man, Josh Allen had the first down kind of tough, you know, three point game for the fourth time. The damn Chiefs keep getting in their way. That's one thing when you're the Washington Commanders and you way overplayed your whole season. Yeah, but they really underplayed that game. They blew that game. You're playing with house money. No one even expected you there. It's a great foundation to build on. Definitely. You lost by 30. Can you really be bitter again? This isn't not. This is not a man. A couple calls and a couple bad plays. Oh, man, he dropped the ball. There was nothing close about that Eagles Commanders game, which I would have been closer if they didn't turn it over three times. Yeah. But I think that makes it easier for close to say I could still watch, right? Actually, no, the first half wasn't close. It was 27 to 12 and then they kind of made a little. But they were sloppy. Yeah. Yeah. So he says he's probably going to watch. And it makes me think of so many different things. Like you always hear actors who just are exposing themselves more and more all the time with how weird they are and how weird Hollywood is. Actors Often say, and it makes me roll my eyes and it makes me want to karate kick them, by the way, that they don't watch their projects. I've never seen it. You've never seen it? Let me punch you in the face. It makes me feel that way. I don't watch the movies, you know, in fact, I don't even have a tv. Come here. Let me smack you. Come here. Now. Let me strangle you. It's annoying. Things like that bother you. And it makes me think of this, too. For him to say he's probably going to watch, it just insinuates. Again, there's a lot of pain for a lot of players. Right. It hurts them to watch because they're all playing for the same goal to make it there. But they didn't. So there's that feeling. It's kind of like, do you follow or do you watch what your ex is up to on social media? Do you do those things? Or is it too painful? Or is it too painful? I've heard retired athletes say, once I was done with the game, I almost. I don't want to mis credit this, but I feel like it was Jim McMahon or someone that's like, yeah, I don't watch anymore. Like, someone we interviewed. I'm like, really? Like, didn't your mom not want to see or go back to her old town or see the old house that she grew up in because it was too painful? Yeah, I thought I was. I thought I was doing something nice. Danny and I took pictures of my mother's childhood house and found all these old home videos from my mom's childhood. And I put them together as a. Like a surprise Christmas gift. I thought I was gonna be the greatest son on planet Earth. My mom was like, cried. Why would you do that? I could see the videos being hard to watch. I can see that some people like to move forward. But again, athletes, exes, old jobs. Like, listen, if you worked at a company, are you Twitter? Or better, let's say you worked at Netflix and you got fired. Are you like, f Netflix? I'm not subscribing. Or are you like, that's still Netflix? That's a good one. Yeah, that's another good one. Often I, hey, we worked at ESPN. I still tune in at night to see what SVP's up to. Right? Like, I have not. I can't. It's too painful. That's what I mean. Like, is it case by case? I have a question. You worked at SiriusXM doing the rock music stuff for 20 years since you were 20 something. Yeah. If and when that day. Hopefully it doesn't. Hopefully you keep working there. But let's say down the line, they're like, yeah, Kavina, Yeah, later. Are you gonna be like, you know, I guess it all depends on how it ends. And maybe Jaden Daniels is feeling how you described. It's like, you know what, man? There's so much positive to build off of. It ended when it was supposed to that maybe it'd be foolish for me to not watch. Hey, it's Bobby Bones.

It's Questo Questlove and Team supreme and I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove supreme podcast is we got something for everybody, every type of musical lover. We enjoy speaking to the people who were the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers. But we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes and paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one on one conversations like MJ Pill chatting up with hitmaker Sam Hollander, Sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe. And I've had pleasures in doing one on one conversations with Willow Sonata, Matreya, Kathleen Hanna and the rza. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else. So make sure you go back and you check those episodes out. All right? Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We're not asking. Jaden Daniels said that he's probably gonna watch the super bowl cuz he's not a bitter guy. Here's what would make sense to me. If you asked Jayden Daniels to go back and watch the game he lost, I could see him not wanting to watch that. Right. Like, hey, here's your worst performance. Would you want to see that in life? At work? In the bedroom? No. No one wants to see that or remove that. That's not what you're asking these players to do. You're saying, hey, watch the super bowl, which is a national holiday at this point, almost. Which is the sport you built your life around. Yeah. You didn't make it. But what a sports baby you have to be to not watch. Can I ask you arguably, yeah. The lamest question that has to do, like an analogy. But you see my difference there. Yes. We're not saying, hey, watch your worst performance. We're saying, watch two teams go for the game for the super bowl, something you were after this, but it's almost like the season continued. So here's my lamest analogy. Yeah, sure. If you were on the Bachelorette, okay. And the girl's like, sorry, Steve, you don't get a rose. Are you. Do you want to watch the season after you to see who she chooses? Yes. You'd have to be the biggest baby in the world to be like, who I'm now watching. Yes. In fact, Bachelor just started this week. New season right I always love the first week because it's corny and cringy as hell. Like, I'm Jessica. I'm from Idaho. I brought you a potato. Here's my. No llama drama. I brought you a potato. Rub it on your wart. I just. How are you such a football lover? Where again, you built your whole life around it and now you're not going to watch the biggest game of the year, something you were playing for? It's just so weird to me. There's one person I'm giving a free pass to. Who? Josh Allen. Why? If Josh Allen's like, I can't stomach it because this guy beat him four times in the postseason. Oh, okay. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Like, Jaden Daniel, he hates the sight of Patrick Mahomes. Yeah. But you got to face your fear. Yeah. That is true. Yeah. Danny G. What do you have think about that? I mean. Cause clearly there's a lot of players in the NFL. They're like, I'm not watching because they're so bitter that they. They didn't make it. Do you commend the fact that they're so passionate that they just can't, or do you think baby talk it is? I wouldn't want to run from it. I would want to face it head on. You know, the. The World Series. You guys battled it out. Danny's Yank, Danny's Dodgers, Kavino's Yankees. I'm a Mets fan. I've watched. I mean, I. I know I'm a fan, but I'm saying sometimes fans will check out like, my team's out of it. I'm out of it. Yeah. Sports baby mentality. That's how I feel. I'm down. Let's say what's up to Br. What's up, Brian Covino and Rich. Hey, what's up, guys? Hey, man, I got three things on the three. Pete maybe saying back to back to back. You don't have to pay Pat Riley. It's wordy. Go on. When I was in school, we went to the state championship in football. We lost, and I didn't really want to watch football for a while after that. You know what I mean? So I kind of get James Daniels kind of being like, you're just checked out and exhausted. It just reminds you of, you know, painful memories. James and Rick Virginia, your thoughts, man. Would you assume that NFL players collectively all watch a Super bowl with their friends and family? Oh, thank you for taking my call, gentlemen. Happy Wednesday, man. I appreciate it, man. You know, for me man, as a commander saying, I think it's great, man, because just how you got to speak things into fruition, sometimes you got to visualize things into fruition. And watching the game seems like a great way to imagine what it would be like for you to be there. If you're playing now, going to the game would be a different story. I think it would be crazy to go as a player if you're not in the game. But one last thing, man. Rich, I got to take a little humbrage with you, man, because I think that Washington game against the Eagles was a little bit closer. And I'll give you two plays, man, the fourth and five when it's 1412, there was a holding, you know what I mean? And then the. At the end of the third quarter, the Eckman fumble. So, dude, I agree, listen, the game was closer than 30 points, but I think Washington should just be very proud of where they are. It's like, it's like when your team comes. Nobody expected that from the commanders. To give the NFC championship game when you're 4 and 13 and then go to the championship game and you got a young quarterback that you know you could trust moving forward. I don't think Commander's fans are very upset right now. I think they're very optimistic. So you got to look at it that way. Now we got midweek major with spot more NFL and the latest in the NBA. Adam Silver with an idea. We want your thoughts next. Your ex girlfriend or ex wife social media account. Do you look, I know I don't, but some people do. Some people do. He doesn't mind watching the super bowl, implying that a lot of people don't want to watch it. What about actors who don't watch their projects? I've never seen it. What are your thoughts on that? I saw a real cool video of Ray Romano. I'm sorry, Let me do it by a Ray Romano. That's a great impression, by the way. He's got to close your nose. Yeah. Hey, it's me, Ray Romano, who I loved on obviously Everybody Loves Raymond. I loved him on that Netflix show. I'm drawing a blank on the name of it. Spot. Can you please tell me Ray Romano, Netflix, Lisa Kudrow. I think it's called the Schnoz. It's not called the Schnoz, but that was a no good deed, I believe. No good deed? No. I guess I was thinking of another show. But Ray Romano recently said he went back and watched every episode of Everybody Loves Raymond and he. He's like, I got time on my hands these days. And he rated each episode, like, oh, that was a really good one. Oh, that one sort of stunk. Like, he went back and he has, like, a chart. Yeah, that's what I'm doing these days. It's funny, I saw a clip recently of Zooey Deschanel saying that she's never seen the movie Elf because someone asked her, like, it was around the holidays, like, do you watch Elf every year? And she's like, actually, I've never seen it. Oh, give me a break. Barf. Come on, come on. You're really missing out. After the super bowl, when you guys get a few days off, I want you to pull a Ray Romano and rate every podcast I've ever published. Danny, I'll tell you what. I actually do listen a lot. I don't mind. You could post our podcast and insert me saying, like, I am Rich Davis and I am a huge weenie, and I wouldn't even know because I lived it. So you can make fun of me. I. Mark tape. Mark tape. But that's not out of bitterness or anything. That's out of, like, I lived it. Right, right. That's the Peewee Herman theory. So. Cause he didn't watch his big adventure. He lived it, remember? Yeah, Lived it. Let's take your phone calls. And this hour, we got midweek major, the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. And we still got to talk NBA. Adam Silver. He said some interesting stuff here on the Dan Patrick show tonight. So how about this? Phone calls? We'll hit up the Adam Silver story and then spot Scott midweek major, and we'll do that. All right. Dwayne, what's up, Dwayne? Odessa, you're on with Kavino and Rich. Hey, buddy. Hey, guys. I have to admit, I'm probably the biggest sports baby. After my team is out of the NFL, I shut it down till August. Hate to admit it, but that's just the way it goes. Haven't watched the super bowl in probably 25 years. Must be a Cowboys. Let's figure it out. 25 years. Odessa. I just. He's a huge fan of the Tennessee Titans or the Giant. And that's so weird because he's from a huge football town. Permian Panthers, baby. You don't watch the biggest game. Dwayne, are you a Cowboys fan? No, I'm not at all. Who's your team? I'm a Vikings fan. Oh, I appreciate your honesty. Tortured history, right? But I just. I just can't wrap My head around that. Like, how big? It's like, you're a great guy. I'm not judging you. For me. For me, it feels very baby. I mean, we are on a group chat, Kavino and I, with some of our. Our pals. Yeah. And our buddy Mike in Kentucky, who. He. He has this take of, like. He's so. Like, he's the guy that's fed up with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, and he's like, oh, the Chiefs. He's like, I'm not watching the Super Bowl. Everyone on this group threat is busting his balls. Like, what do you mean you're not watching the Super Bowl? He's like, maybe I'll take my kids bowling. I'm like, stop being a loser. Watch the Super Bowl. You're not on the team. What are you doing? That's even weaker. Oh, that's why. So they could show Taylor Swift the whole time. I'm like, why do you care so much? You don't have to be clued into it, but, like, to ignore it. It's o. However, if. If you're a man. I was gonna say if you're a woman, that would have been sexist. If you're a woman or a man that doesn't like football, I do hear it is a great day to go to a theme park. I've heard, like, Disney World, Disneyland, Universal. Like, if you really are that, like, apathetic, I don't give a crap. That is a good day to hit that up. Makes sense. Yeah. Richard in Florida. What's up, buddy boy? Hey, guys. Yeah, man. I know what it's like to sit there and be, you know, right there before the super bowl when those guys lose and they lose and look like they've been lost their dog. You just made a Super Bowl. You just finished second U.S. open. You just won $3 million, but you lost. Yeah. I was in the World series of poker. 1/2 million dollars. Very thrilled, very happy, very well adjusted. $12 million first flies. But to be within. To be within two tables of the bracelet, to be sitting there with a bracelet that day, it was like I'd lost my dog. So I totally get it. But jaden Daniels by 30. You're okay. Yeah. Sit there and you're Josh Allen, and you lose that. I mean, I don't know how you get up in the morning. Of course, Richard, I feel you 100% on that. As a Niners fan, I watched Receiver on Netflix, and they go through the emotions of Debo and Kittle because those are two of the receivers they followed. And you could see when you lose the super bowl and overtime, you kick a field goal, but the other team responds with a touchdown. You can't get closer to winning a Super Bowl. You were in the red zone. That's why I like having settled for a field goal. It's a nightmare. I like having these conversations because it does make you explore. And I am understanding a little more why it's so hard. And I get it. You're not supposed to like it because you didn't make it. And then I started thinking based on what he said just now, and it was a great call. Thank you. You think Eric Stoltz ever sat there and watched Back to the Future and said to himself, you know, Michael J. Fox did a really great job. I'm happy he got it? That's a good question. So I could see that, like, when you come so close getting something great, it is kind of hard to find the joy in the project or game that went on without you. Yeah. Or rich artists who pass up on songs and another artist has a humongous hit with that song. Can they ever hear that song and not be mad? Yeah, I feel what you're saying. A lot of times, if they are successful on their own, they have the ability to say, what are you gonna do? But if they don't have success. I heard too recently. I mean, and we all know that. Wasn't it Prince who gave Nothing compares to you to Sinead O'Connor? Yeah. Because he thought, man, it ended up being as big or bigger than most of Prince's singles. I heard recently Britney Spears and her team said, now, we don't want this song. It's trash. And they gave it to Rihanna. That song is Umbrella. Yeah, that was supposed to be a Britney Spears. So do you think Amanda Seyfried watched Wicked? Because she was very close to getting that Ariana Grande. Like, do you think she watched it? I was like, you know, she did a great job. Or is there bitterness there? You see those things on TikTok, I recently saw all the. So maybe I got to look at that from that perspective. If you had a good team and it bothers you, maybe can understand why they don't. They don't watch. But Camino, it's funny. You should. You'd be shocked. I feel like they're missing out. I mean, I know it's a random movie, but I believe it was just celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Mean Girls. I just saw one of those TikTok clips of all the like young hot actresses at the time that were auditioning and they were all big names and even the dude, the dude that got the role in. In Mean Girls, who I don't really even know who that was. A listers were lining up for those roles. So it is interesting. Very similar to. To be an actor who passed on a role or just came so close. It's sort of like an athlete getting to the championship and losing. Like, do you really want to live it? All right, we'll take one more phone call. And again, the story was Jaden Daniels said today that he's not bitter. He was sick to his stomach when they lost. Not bitter. Is probably going to watch the Super Bowl. So I thought was like, well, why wouldn't you? But I guess we're kind of explaining why. Jake, you don't have to agree with it, but at least we got to the bottom of it. What's up, Jake? Fort Lauderdale. Hey, what's going on, fellows? Big fan of yours. Just stumbled onto you guys recently driving around here in South Florida. Thanks, man. Love the show, man. You guys are awesome. Two quick things. As a Cowboys fan, I will definitely be hate watching and Rudy and all the Swifties out there, unfortunately, I know a lot of people don't want to hear that, but it's just the way it is, you know, as a Cowboys fan, it's just that there's no way I can root for the Eagles. Yeah. And also going back to the previous segment, you guys came out with the. With the Crows and Remedy and one of you guys mentioned that. Was it on Shaker Moneymaker that is actually off of the second album, Southern Harmony and Musical Companions. And I just say this to say I don't know if you guys are Crows fans or not. I. I've seen them a few times. I've never seen a band sound better live than they do on a record. If you've never seen them live, do yourself a favor and check them out. Jake, you're not the first to say that. I've heard many a rock fan say black crows are one of those. Like, yo, if you could see them live. Even unreal if you listen to Hard to handle. There's two versions of it. There's the album version and then there's a live version with the horn section and you're like, man, that live version is so much better than the regular album. Yeah, there's a horn version of that song that's way more powerful and cool. Their band has history on this time slot right here on the Network as Steve Gorman, their drummer used to be on the air talking sports. He unfortunately is not their drummer anymore. Anymore. They kind of like pushed him out. But, yes, we know Steve Gorman very well. Thanks for the. Yeah. And they're a great, great band. Thank you, Jake, for the call. Thank you guys for hanging out with us, Fox Sports Radio. And by the way, speaking of the super bowl, do you guys have plans? You guys. We doing a party at my place or what? Are you. Do you have super bowl plans? No, not yet. I mean, we're going to be there for the whole week, obviously. Broadcasting the actual game. I don't know. Going to Magic Mountain. Yeah, man. I think I'm gonna go to Knott's Berry Farm, now that you mentioned. All right, let's see, Danny. I'll see you maybe. Yes. All right. I would say we'll see you back on that. That's why I hit Disney with Spot. Yeah, you want to go Disney Spot? Make your stromboli drop it off and then go, we're gonna teacups together. I want to be on Space Mountain. Yeah, bro. It's actually, you know what? It's not a terrible idea, but I can never miss the Super Bowl. That sounds ridiculous. All right, let's. Let's shift our attention one second to the NBA. Only because, listen, if you ask me personally, what am I interested in? It's like football, Football, football. Baseball's coming. Baseball's coming. Football, football, baseball. Oh, yeah, You've been talking a lot about shrinking. You mostly talk about that. And so does his wife. Rick Moranis over here. No, no, no. Not. Not, honey. I shrink the kids. Although he does talk about it. Although he loves that movie, too. Huge Rick Moranis. I mean, who is not. Who isn't? Exactly. But let me tell you, See, you guys, you feed into my ADD and then you blame me when I go on a tangent. So f you all. I watched Honey I Shrunk the Kids a couple months ago with my children. You know, we always talk about what movies stand the test of time. Back to the Future Goonies. You know, there's always those. Home Alone. There's movies that are. Any generation will love. My kids loved Honey I Shrunk the Kids. That's awesome. You forget. It's like an hour and 40 minutes. Rick Moranis. Remember There in the Grass with the ant and all that about that one. They made all the sets by hand. And I've seen some behind the scenes from that movie. It is incredible, these sets. It really is. Danny, I'm still mad at them for replacing Captain E.O. disneyland. Damn buyer. You guys both have little kids. When they're a little older it really does hold up. But to the NBA now, honey, I shrunk the kids. What's up? Rick Moranis. Adam Silver. I credit this guy because he is trying to figure out solutions to the NBA losing some viewership. Like he's not just sitting on his hands. Seems proactive and open to suggestions and that's really cool. I think that's all you really want. And he's open to good conversations. I've heard him on Colin and Dan Patrick. Listen, it's not easy as just saying move the three point line, do this, do that. It's. This is a like if you're going to make a change to something, it has to be completely thought out. Pros and cons and what will it do? And there's the latest one. Take a listen. Adam Silva. NBA is the only league that plays 48 minutes. I am a fan of four 10 minute quarters. Putting aside what it means for records and things like that, I think that a two hour format for a game is more consistent with sort of modern television habitat. So two hours, not two and a half hours. I was on our pal Dan Patrick this morning. I don't, I just wonder if that solves anything. Take away two minutes of a quarter. I know you're saying two minutes. I think it helps. I think he's onto something there. Again, the question is, would the NBA benefit from shorter games? But two minutes a quarter, you know, I think a lot of these sports and we've seen it in baseball work would benefit according to today's attention span. I mean, so I know a fourth quarter, two minutes is like when your wife says I'll be ready in two minutes. And don't you judge what movies you're gonna watch based on the length of time. I do. I'll take a look at it. How long is it? I don't know if I'm in the mood for that. I'll be honest. I need it around 1:30 to 1, like 48. You know anything more than that? I'll be honest. Maybe, I don't know. YouTube clip and it's more than 10 minutes. I'm like, yeah, that's gonna be rough. Covino's right about the movies. If my wife and I saw it Wicked in the theater with my daughter, my wife still hasn't seen it. And every night when it's like 10 o'clock and the kids are sleeping, I'm like Yeah, I just. By the way, I can't even believe that for as much as you talk about that movie, your wife hasn't seen it. I took my daughter with her like palace. It's streaming on TV though. I can't believe she still hasn't seen it. Well, because every night. My point is, it goes to what you're saying. It's 2 hours and 50 minutes. So when my kids finally fall asleep and they're done saying mom, Dad, I, whatever the hell they want to watch a quick 48 minute episode of something. Yeah. When 10 o'clock hits and the mike, you know, popping edible time. Watch TV, go to bed. You think 2 hours and 50 minutes of Wicked on a weeknight's gonna work? You're right. And that's the thinking behind it. So. And I get what Rich is saying too. Rich is saying, yeah, but is that going to solve the problem? I think it solves one of the problems. I don't think that changes everything. That's just part of it. But at least he's open to that. The games are 100 to 88 instead of 115 to 100. I mean, think about some boxing matches where at the start there's that feeling out before the either boxer really starts to throw their punches. Some NBA games can lag a little bit in the first quarter because the teams are just kind of feeling each other out. There's some sloppy beginnings sometimes I think with this, the beginning of each quarter, you'd have to come in a little more focused. I don't know, I kind of like it. To go with your analogy when we watched Mike Tyson, Jake Paul, now I know that wasn't a legitimate like, like regular fight, two minute rounds, saying they should get Rosie Perez. But those, that would help. Those quick, those quick rounds, what was it? Two minute rounds? Two minute rounds. Ten round, eight rounds. Eight rounds. Two minute rounds. Yes. Eight. Yeah, those felt too short. Yeah, the eight two minute rounds did feel like, oh geez, like we're already ending the round. So I don't know, I mean, listen, I'm not, I, you know me, I'm never the guy that's like stupid idea because I always go by. And again, you're coming from older guy perspective, right? Young people, slightly older. I'm middle aged. I'm grown, grown man. The NBA's in the business of getting new fans and younger people and next generation. And I would say their opinion matters a lot. And I wonder how they felt about the Browns and the Tyson fight. You know, their attention span Is non existent. So what may seem a little too quick to us might be right on target for most people. Are you trying to say what might be right for you may not be right for some? Something like that. Different strokes for different folks. What's up, Denbigher? I watched an episode the other night. Arnold was having bad dreams because he was worried that Mr. Drummond was gonna be injured or die on a plane crash. It was a whole deal. At least it wasn't the Dudley Bike Shop episode. Oh, gosh, no. Yeah, it's the worst. I was gonna say that one of the things that when you play video games, you always had to adjust early on and how long your quarters should be for, like a football game because you wanted realistic stats, but you can't play a 15 minute quarter because it's just way too much. And then, then the game's altered with it. I remember when Little League baseball came out on Nintendo and I'm playing my buddy and it's a six inning game. Yeah, amazing. Because every. It wasn't elongated to a nine inning on RBI or whatever. When it was six innings, it was great. And that, that sense of urgency just to shorten anything, I think is pretty valuable. And if this would do it, then by all means the only problem. And it was the same thing with baseball and everything else is affecting the stats moving forward. And he addressed that on the Dan Patrick Show. And honestly, as Gary Vaynerchuk said, and we quote him all the time, innovate or die. Hey, it's Bobby Bones.

It felt like I told you I loved you. I'm gonna be honest, it was a little pink. There was something sentimental when you, like when you send it, it was like, do I send the heart now? I don't like the color. Color edition. It's extremely Pink. Listen to lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt castle on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

It's Questo Quest Love and Team supreme and I have been working hard to bring you some incredible episodes of Questlove supreme with guests you definitely don't want to miss. Now, one of the things I love about this Questlove supreme podcast is we got something for everybody. Every type of musical ever. We enjoy speaking to the people who were the face of some movements, some people you've seen on stage or TV or magazine covers. But we also love speaking to the folks who were making it happen behind the scenes and they paved the way for those that followed, you know, keystones to the culture. This season we've had some amazing one on one conversations like MJ Pill chatting up with hitmaker Sam Holland, Sugar Steve chatting with the legend Nick Lowe. And I've had pleasures in doing one on one conversations with Willow, Sonata, Matreya, Kathleen, Hannah and the Rizzo. These are conversations you won't hear anywhere else, so make sure you go back and you check those episodes out. All right, Listen to Questlove supreme on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Let's leave this guy plenty of time. It's time for spot and Midweek Major. Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week with mid week week Major. Oh, I love that we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say, that's so mid week definitely major. CNR scoring midweek major. Can we give Spotty at least eight minutes? Yeah. Wow. Well, we're gonna save time, but something that's never been done on Midweek Major. I just felt the 12. So he's not gonna be, well, says, hold on, buddy. Nah, you're not gonna beat me. Not even worth it. Just nick it. Just give up. Just give up. I rolled the 12. Three referees gave that dice. Some refs gave that dice to Covino. Oh, speaking of. All right. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey. Spotty boy, all the hot takes. All right, you just said the ref. Stani G. Thanks for the jump off. As the Chiefs head to New Orleans, the narrative continues that the refs are always lean in favor of the Chiefs. Well, Dean Blandino, former NFL head of officiating, has said that the narrative is absolutely preposterous. Blandino actually is on our team. Fox Sports analyst oversaw the refs from 2013 to 2017, and he said that there's absolutely no word from Roger Goodell about this narrative or this script. He said if there's a room somewhere at the end of NFL offices where they're writing the script, they never invited me, and I was the head of officiating, I feel like I'd be a pretty important contributor to that. He did meet that admit that team teams sometimes do get breaks and things lean in their favor, but there's no script at all. Midweek or major. I think it's major because definitely major. It's a stupid story that's always discussed. It always comes up after a big game. People really seem to believe it. And we, we often say, if you're innocent, scream it from the mountain. Listen, this is weak. Why is it weak we that Dean Blandino even has to say this? Yeah, but I'm glad he has to say it's not scripted. Are you a bird brain? You think it's scripted? How many people say that? Your head up your ass. I mean. And by the way, he says it's preposterous, but it's not impossible. As we discussed yesterday, it happens. Happened in the NBA. Fixes happened in the NBA. I don't, I don't think there's a script. I don't think there's, you know, I don't think it's, you know, all rigged. But teams do get good calls, and the Chiefs have got good calls. Yet there's guys like Nick Wright on FS1 who was like, ah, the stat show that in fact the Chiefs get less calls. Like you could, you know, you can make an angle any way you want. Not in the playoffs, though. Rich, look at the stat I just sent. You just sent us a stat in playoff games since 2021, the Chiefs have had zero games with more penalties than their opponents. 0. 10 games where the other team has had more penalties. You could say discipline. Or you could say Mahomes hangs with the Chiefs like all the memes say. So maybe it's not scripted, but as we suspected, calls go certain teams ways. All right, because I only have like two more weeks of Kelsey and Swift news. Let me work it all in now. So first, apparently Taylor Swift, huge fan of her boyfriend, not only on the field, but off the field. Apparently she listens to the New Heights podcast. Did you know that? Were you waiting to hear that Kelsey brothers shared. The Kelsey brothers shared the big news this week. Apparently one of their interns ran into Swift, and Swift had nothing but glowing reviews about the podcast cast as she listens every week, is a huge fan, loves it, and the interns are really thrilled that she listens and gave them compliments. So we'll point on this midweek remaining. I think it's. It's a mid story. Here's why. So mid. I would assume she did. If she loves Travis the way you assume she does, why don't you support the things that they're into? I know she's busier than most, but you don't think Rich's wife and. And Michael girlfriend listen to the show pretty much every day. They do. Yeah. This. My mom listens every day. Weak Matri. One of the answers be stupid. Yeah. When you care about somebody, you. You pay attention to what they're up to. Do we think she is. Sits on a. A throne of diamonds and just laser all day? Like that's what I picture. What do we think? That she doesn't listen to podcasts and music and things. Her. Her man has a top rated podcast. You're shocked. The Taylor Swift listens. Danny G's wife listens here and there. My wife. You were saying your girlfriend. It happens. This is ridiculous. Next door I picture like talking to cats all day. Is that weird? All right. And more importantly, I know there's been speculation after this super bowl, if they go for the chief, Pete, if you know the chief, three chief, whatever you're calling it, that this might be the end of Travis Kelce's chief's career. He may be calling it quits and that he may propose to his girlfriend where the odds are in for that. And apparently at plus 750 odds, people think that Travis may propose to Taylor. So at plus 750 odds. But on the other tip, it's minus 1500 that he will not propose to Taylor at the end of the game. If the Chiefs win the celebration, all the confetti's coming down. So what do you think of those odds? Midweek or major? I think the storyline is major because we've already established millions of people tune in because of the whole Taylor Swift, Swifty, Travis Kelce romance. It's made millions of dollars for the NFL. I think it's major because if this were to happen, that has to be the end of his career. I think if he gets engaged at the super bowl, such a cliche sort of thing, I don't want to see him back out there next year. It's kind of like that's a perfect way to just end it. This is. I'll say this is major because. Definitely major. If Travis Kelce three peats with Mahomes and then proposes to Taylor Swift, could we then say goodbye to this chapter of our football pop culture? That's what I mean. I feel like that would be the perfect end. Close the door, please. Like, all right. Even if you hate the Chiefs, if I told you the Chiefs winning means Travis proposes they get married and you never have to hear about. About it again. Would we sign up for this? That's kind of what I was getting at. I was trying to be nice about it. Like, I think that's just the perfect way to end it. And we could say all right, later on to the next. And I. But I think Travis is too much of a team player to take the focus off of the team. So I. Even though it's minus 1500, he's not gonna propose. I don't know. The. The. The sappy ones and the Swifties would eat this up. I know they really would. But it's. Yeah, it's all celebration after that. You don't want to destroy. I agree. All right, we'll shift over to mlb. I don't know if you saw this. So Trevor Bauer, is he ever going to get a shot at me? Hold on. Was chirping very loud on X this week, having a lot to say about his skills on the mound, saying that they're just as still just as good, if not better than anyone. I agree. He claimed that on a global scale, he is second in popularity only to Shohei Ohtani. That's. That's how popular he thinks he is. And he says that he could. I. She said there's only 20 players that could possibly even. 20 players in. In the world that could even go up against him. Everyone else just sucks. So Trevor Bauer is just going hard on Twitter. Say, you know, still saying that he could play in the league. He said he would play for free, that his. His worth is 50 million, but he would absolutely gladly pay for. For free. And they're just throwing that all away for a chance to take Trevor Bauer midweek or major mid. Okay, he may not be guilty of everything, but he's also not, like, the most innocent guy. And he rubbed so many people the wrong way in his career that, you know, you reap what you sow, you lie in the bed, you make all these things. Right? And I know he didn't completely make his own bed, but he added to it a little bit, right? Well, he did some weird things in that bed. I think he's also big Dr. Dreaming to think that he's second to Shohei Ohtani. So that also makes it mid, because I can think of, like, four or five people off the top of my head that are bigger him. Bryce Harper, Aaron Judd. I get it, Alonzo. I mean, so many big stars in the world. I think this is major. I think. I think Trevor Bauer is a top 10 to 15 starting pitcher in baseball. If he was allowed back in the league, which he is allowed, no team's gonna take a chance because whether smoke this fire and whether he's innocent or not, it just. It's too risky. And rich. He was almost. He's lights out wherever he plays. He was almost a liability before these accusations, before all that stuff, because no one liked him. Yeah. So. All right. I don't know. Read the tweets on your own time or the exes, whatever they call them. Thanks, buddy. Yeah, thanks, guys. Thanks, Bob. It is a shame. The Trevor Bauer story is a shame, because he is. He's good. He is talented. Yeah, he really is. Hey, it's Bobby Bones. Join me and former NFL quarterback Matt Castle every Wednesday for our new podcast, Lots to say with Bobby Bones and Matt Castle.
