Matchbox 20 is Rob Thomas watched 3am KLF huh huh. 3am Eternal. Who's up at 3am watching baseball? Nobody. So after a world championship season that the Dodgers had one for the ages, you would think that you, Danny G. The lifelong Dodgers fan, would get first dibs on watching the game, no? Were you up at 3am or not? I have to admit I did get up one time. It was a bathroom break and I checked the score and right as I turned it on it was the overthrow. And Ohtani came around to score to take the lead 2 to 1. And then I went back to bed. You know, 4 to 1 win over the Cubs. Congrats to the Dodgers, world champs again. You would think that you get to watch them on opening day, but you can only see the highlights. Unless of course, you're on Tokyo time. Tune in. Tokyo. Yes, it was my favorite game, let me tell you, watching a game in the middle of the night. Or as you said yesterday, sometimes there'll be an international fight. Oh, I hate where the time is all weird. I mean, think about it when we were kids. Mike Tyson, Buster Douglas. That was in Tokyo. Yeah, but that was late at night, like around. It wasn't around 3am yeah, it was like midnight. Ish. But it's sort of like when you wake up on the west coast and you're not quite sure what the stock market looks like and you open your phone, you're like, all right, big money, Big money. Oh, like, because it's already started. It already happened. And here you are tuning in late. But hey, congrats to the Dodgers. You are now one and oh, on your way to winning 120 games and then hopefully choking in the playoffs again. We're broadcasting live from the Tire Rack. It all went away last season. Yeah, I know. Wow.

We'll get you a million dollars, which is impossible, but give it a shot. Fill out your bracket now until Thursday morning before the games begin. Visit foxsportsradio.com for the rules, how to register, and all that good stuff, courtesy of our good friends and sponsor Tractor Supply for life out here. You know the chances of filling out a perfect bracket? I looked this up because it's absurd. I broke out my TI82 one. I didn't have a TI82. What did you have a Mr. Professor? I had a Texas instrument. Little professor, actually. Yeah, the guy with the mustache and the glasses. The little kid calculator. I really didn't have a TI82 one in 9.2. Oh, now I'm forgetting Quintillion Quinn. Hold on now. 000. Your chances are zero is what I'm saying. So when all chances are zero, you know, no offense to our great sponsor Tractor Supply, but anyone could be like, yeah, I'll give you bazillion dollars if you get the bracket right. Because I do think it's 1 in 9.2 bazillion. Do you think Fox Sports lawyer, like signed off on the 1 million for insurance reasons? Like just in case. Why couldn't we say $10 million to the ones? It's impossible. That's why it's improbable. It's not impossible. What up, DB they say what you should do then is just double your winnings for every game. Like, if you could. Now, there are games at the same time, but if you just doubled your winnings from, like, say, starting from a dollar, if you got. Imagine being on a 67 game heater. Yeah, right. Then like exponential. It's. It's like. You ever see those things? Like, hey, would you take a big sum of money now? Or what if I told you I'd give you a dollar, but I double it every day? That's exactly. Yep. Right now, I looked it up. I was. Was I right? Did I say it's one in 9.2 quintillion. That's your chance of guessing all 63 games. Right. Once March Madness begins, Elon on X is offering a trip to Mars. We don't. That's like when. That's like when you have Mars, if. Yeah, yeah. That's like when we used to have the Mountain Dew and Pepsi points. And they're like, yeah, you can win this Jet. This fight. That's why they made that documentary Jet. And then you're like, someone actually tried to do it. They're like, no, you actually can't have this because that's against the law. Yeah, that. Honestly, when Elon Musk, he might as well say, yeah, you. You'll win Mars. You could win Mars. If you win. If you get a perfect bracket, Mars is yours. Great. I don't want to go there, though, because we haven't even sent anybody there yet. Jeff Bezos could say, you know what? I will gift you Amazon if you get the bracket. Right. One in 9.2. What is it again? Can I just cash in for Property on Mars? I really don't want to go Quintillion. Yeah, you're having a hard time remembering that. Quintillion. How often is something in the Quintillions? I mean, but you read the fact. Yeah. Is this a part of the show today where we're all going to go over our brackets? No, not at all. Not at all. I haven't even filled one out yet, but I have to fill mine out by tomorrow again. Tomorrow night. Tomorrow night. Good bet. Yeah. We got the first four games starting this afternoon. That's right. The madness begins now. Based on the madness, we're going to get to a bunch today. We're going to talk some baseball. Tracy Morgan's vomiting. We're going to talk about poor Tracy Morgan. Joey Callo. Or is it Gallo? It's Joey Gallo. Gallo. He's in the news. We're going to talk about him. We're going to talk about wearing your sports team's gear on opening day. Shaq Diesel Trivia. I don't know how we're going to fit it all in, to be honest. But I did want to bring up a question that I asked you earlier. And I'll give our pals at Barstool a quick shout out. I heard them discussing this and I said, you know what? I've had this thought before, so I'll take it and bring it to our show. The question was how many NBA players that are active right now, if you put them on a 16 seed team like a St. Mary's or something like that, would win the whole thing. Like if you said LeBron James, you're now on numbers high over 75, closer to 100, probably NBA. Danny G. Like if you said, don't undermine and underestimate how next level great these guys are to be in the NBA. If you took a random superstar, Brian Scalabrini could lead one of these teams to a championship. Maybe not now, but you know what? No. Now he beat the. The Messiah, George. The Messiah in a street ball game. He still could do it. But if you took a Jalen Brunson or, you know, a superstar in the NBA and put him on a 16 seed, how many guys do you think are in the NBA now that could take a 16 seed all the way and just cruise to winning a national title? Like if you put LeBron James, like I said, on stage, my answer is 75. Because for every superstar on every team, there's a guy who's almost as good. There's a number two there. So I'm going 75. You always talk about the NBA's top 75 of all time. I'm just saying 75 just because I don't think it's a low number. I think these guys are superstars. They've made it to the NBA. They're superstars. They're the best of the best. So I think the number is high, higher than you think because again, there's levels to the game. How about the Sparks men's practice squad? Think about how many great players don't make the NBA. These dudes made the NBA and they excel in the NBA. So you got to figure the numbers relatively higher than you probably think. That's what I'm thinking. You're saying again, how many players in the NBA could lead a random team to a college championship? Right. Dan Byer, what's your initial instinct on this. So is Cavino saying 75% of teams? He's saying 75 current players in the current players. Okay. It's just that I'm picking any arbitrary. He's just playing off of like the NBA's top 75 player. I'm just picking 75 players currently a random number, but I hear what you're saying. So if you put Nikola Jokic on St. Francis. Yeah, Francis. They win. They win the whole tournament. They win the whole tournament. Without a doubt. I. I would say zero. What, you don't think Jokic. I don't think player Carmelo Anthony did it for Syracuse in OH3. I know, but I'm just thinking of. Of just one player. I mean, Jokic would have to have 70 and 30 for like a St. Francis team to make a run. How do you stop that guy? How do you stop. How does a college nerd who's good at basketball. He's good, but he's not great, who never sees and sniffs the NBA? How do you stop a Giannis? I don't know. I don't have that answer right. But I do think that if you run pickup games, and that's what I go to, like there's. When you run pickup games, at some point maybe a team gets tired, maybe something happens, another team that's a little bit less will grab a game and then that team has to leave the court. And so I would think that at some point there would be one team. I'm not saying they would lose six games, but at one point in a game of basketball where you only have one player of that caliber. Yeah, I would say, I think a guy like Jokic is a great example because the NBA, they lack big men. So think of college. There's not a lot of great big men. If you took Giannis Antetokounmpo and put him on, how about this High Point University who's in the tournament? Could he lead them to a championship? I think Giannis could take High Point University and be cutting down the net in a couple of weeks from now. Maybe you're right. You know where I would go the comparison? Because I think that Syracuse still had top quality players around Carmelo. They did. And they had Bayheim and good coaching. I get it. Yeah. It's Stefan Davidson. So they made it to the Elite Eight. Yeah. When. And you talk about. So like if you put stuff on Davidson now, they'd win the whole thing. Yeah, you're probably right. So maybe I should back off my zero. Like maybe it's not 75, maybe top 10 NBA players. Yeah, I think, yeah, I'd go with, I'd go with. I'm saying honestly, my real answer, I said 75 decibels just because it's a fun number. I'm saying closer to 100, but it's probably, I'm thinking 60. Like two per team. Yeah. Again, to give props, I saw Big Cat on barstool talking to Caruso about this and they were saying there's probably one or two guys per team in the NBA that are that level. Because you got to think the best of the best 19, 20 year old college kids would be out of their league, even entering the NBA. Sure. Like how do they stop a Steph Curry just from lighting it up? The NBA can't even figure it out. Some college teams and to figure that out, Luca or Jokic or, you know, like you said, Jalen Brunson gets hot. And these guys are putting up big numbers against other stars. I mean, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, I think all these dudes would lead their team to a championship. Again, it's a hypothetical. I'm not a big fan of them, but it's a fun one. Well, the reason I think that it's interesting is because don't we always say whoever the best team in college football is that oh, how would they do against the worst team? And then, then everybody comes out, all the former players be like, they'd lose 80 to nothing to the, to the Tennessee Titans. But as a golf fan, when people think that players are good, like there is a different level to the tour pro. So in a one on one situation, Peter Jacobson is a, his career is over. He now does a lot of tv. But he always said that he was, he was closer to Michael Jordan or if, if you were to compare being a basketball player like Michael Jordan, because he loved to play golf, that Peter Jacobson was closer to being Michael Jordan as a basketball player than Michael Jordan was of him being a golfer. Oh yeah, like that's like, that's the Scalabrini. Scalabrini always says, I may have been the worst in the NBA, but I'm closer to LeBron, closer to Jordan than you are to me. Sure. You know, that was his thing too. And, and that was always the fun bit with Scalabrini. You know, big goofy white guy, played in the NBA for quite a while. His whole gimmick was shutting up haters online. Yeah, he would take like these ballers, they like that. You would think like, oh, they'll battle him. He would blank Them. He light him up. Yeah. Yeah. So just an interesting hypothetical. So I think it's a good mix with five players as well, because there's one that you'd still have four others around that if they were schmucks, maybe you could. Yeah. End up taking. What about this? What if you took. Now. Now I'm going off the rail, so we could stop. But I was gonna say, what if you took a WNBA team and put one superstar in it? Would they run the table? Like, what if it was in the men's tournament? What if. Yeah, in the men's term, what if you took, like, the LA Sparks and put Kevin Durant on it? So it's Kevin Durant and the LA Sparks. Would they win. Would they win the NCAA tournament? Oh, man, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Because everyone loves. Everyone loves. Everyone loves. I don't think so. Everyone loves to chauvinistically say, like, you know, a men's high school basketball team would whoop the wnba, and that's likely. But what if you took Kevin Durant and put him with Cameron Brink and the ladies for the LA Sparks and said, all right, you're now in the sweet 16. Take it away. I don't know. It's interesting. Something to think about. Dumb thoughts. I had. Thoughts you have when you're on edibles. I mean, on a random Monday night when you're hanging around. Yeah, perfect. I get it. So, anyway, I hope you're enjoying your Tuesday social. What about if you could pick an animal to then. No, I'm kidding. Yeah. How far do you think you could. What if Teen Wolf was on your team, but you also had to have Chubbs on your team? All right, speaking of basketball, I say let's start with this. But we already started last night. Tracy Morgan. Did you see this guy? Ain't nothing wrong with a little opulence. Astronaut Jones himself, courtside at the Knicks game. By the way, I don't think enough people appreciate Astronaut Jones, one of the greatest SNL characters, in my opinion. Right up there with some of the most legendary skits. Brian, fellow planet. No, I'm a big fan of Astronaut Jones. I'm on a rocket. Astronaut Jones is fantastic. He sang it at the SNL50. So. Tracy Morgan, courtside. And it's a sad video because you see that feeling that we've all had. We like, oh, booing. Oh, no. You know what the sad part of the story is? He barfs all over the court. He's courtside. And he barfs, and everyone has it on video. My immediate thought, and I feel ashamed to even think. I was like, he probably drank too much because it could happen to anybody. But then I found that he's sober, right? So I'm like, yeah, here I am assuming, oops, yeah, he probably had a little too much to drink. It happens. I'm not judging him, but it happens. Just embarrassing because he's a celebrity instead. It was some bad food instead. Yeah, he really did get food poisoning. And even when I heard food poisoning, I thought to myself, yeah, likely story. He was boozing. That's the truth. Sober, yeah. So I'm happy to hear that he's okay, but it doesn't take away from how embarrassing that is. The Paul Pierce wheelchair was awesome. They pull out a wheelchair for the guy, and they wheel him off the court because he barfed all over him. You know, I just wanted to let it be known it could have been worse. I thought about this. What if Tracy Morgan getting sick at the Garden, Maybe I'm pregnant. Created a ripple effect a la Goonies? Then this was horrible. All the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. Imagine Tracy Morgan. Maybe I got morning sickness at the night time. Maybe 18,000 people are like, no. Or like that infamous scene from Stand By Me. Yes. Oh, piety content. Yeah. Lard ass. So, hey, it really is the worst. I mean, that's the downside of being a celebrity. You can't pick your nose. You can't really do anything in public. You can't throw up courtside at MSG when you're famous. And this is a winning Knicks team, There would have been more vomit had this been the Knicks, what, six, seven seasons ago? To put a little bow on the conversation, we wish Tracy Morgan well. And he did tweet from the doctor's office saying that on the bright side, the Knicks are now one. And, oh, in games, he's vomited. So congratulations to the Knicks. Yeah, we're happy, by the way, just so you know, we're fans, Rich and I. Fun fact. Actually got to sing Astronaut Jones with Tracy Morgan. One of our favorite bits on snl. We had him on the show, and we said, we're a big fan of Astronaut Jones. We sang it with him. He started just singing it. We're like, let's do it. I knew every word. I was proud of myself. So I'm a big fan. But I did think immediately that, man, he must have had a little too much of the. Grandpa's cough syrup. Of the cough syrup. Like Jason. We were talking about this with Jason Stewart, producer of the Gylee show, and he's like, oh, he had to be on drugs. I don't know. Maybe he was just sick. He's like, no, he's on drugs or he's sober. I guess, again, that's the story. Goes food poisoning. But you know what. What J. Stu said and what Covino thought is the common sentiment. Like, when someone gets sick, you're like, yeah, whether we're drinking or boozing or drugging. And it's like, no. Like, he just got caught in that moment that unfortunately, we've all been in our very own Colin Cowherd. What, like a month or so ago, Remember, right before the Super Bowl. Yeah. Mid show. Colin's like, no. Yeah. Segment of the. Of the show. Remember that? He's like, eagles, Chiefs in a week. Star. Star. We got to go to break, guys. I'm Guys, my stuff. Oh, hold up. I'll be back. Like, it happens. No, I had 11 minutes coming back from Iowa. I had 11 minutes to catch my connecting flight, and I had to go from one concourse to another. So I went down the train. I was sprinting. I had about 15 gates to go with about one minute left. And I was like, I have to stop because I almost booted it right there. And it. I almost threw up right there in the. In the airport because I was laughing at cardio. Is your reason, though? Well, yeah, that was obviously an issue, but I was really booking it, and I almost booted it. Imagine that. I was Sam, like, on, you know, that. That moving walkway. That's what I was on. I was like, I felt bad. That feels like you're running at an incredible rate, Harry. The Knicks actually had to come out and say, we'll invite him back to the Garden. And I was like, oh, that's. That stinks. That they had to put out a statement saying, he's welcome back. And by the way, it wasn't just a little bit. I don't know if everyone saw the clip, but it was projectile. Yeah, it was pretty significant. So a real embarrassing moment because, again, they had to, like, pause for a little bit. Clean up. It was courtside, right on the court. Nosebleed. He also had a nosebleed, like, with it. So, like, fall apart. Serious. It was. So there was cons. There was genuine concern at one point, and it was really serious. He had his face in the towel again. The wheelchair there. But at first, I really did think it was like a, a Paul Pierce sort of moment where it was like kind of staged, like, all right, let's get him out of here. But he really was sick, as the story goes. So wishing him well and have to acknowledge it. And we're all human and things happen. And there you go, no doubt giving away prizes today on a Tuesday, Iowa Sam has a hot take about the Dodgers game. It's 3am There's Teosco Hernandez. I have a hot little Takeyo about that game in Tokyo. Just want to share. It's actually your takeo on Tokyo. Take you about that game in Tokyo. Me and Burschinger kind of co sign on this opinion, but it's not a whole like, like, I know people are like, well, it's, you know, why is it getting opening day started like this and it's not a lot different than like Notre Dame going over to Ireland and playing a game over there and that's week zero. Like, this is. This looks like college football to me. I don't hate it. I hate it the same way the NFL last year they had the game between the Eagles and the packers started. Where was that? In Brazil. Right. I mean, I get it. You're trying to expand the game. I don't hate it. It's week zero of baseball and people celebrate opening day differently for mlb. Like it doesn't have the same hoopla around college football. When you start on like the first Saturday of September or late Aug. I agree, there is. There is something special about opening day baseball. And I think that's why, like, old school fans like opening day because everyone's playing at the same time on the same day. It's going to be more and more like college football where it's going to be like week zero, week point five, and then the actual start. I don't hate that. What is weird, though is it's like it's an extension of spring training almost because you start then you seems like you stop again and start. That's. That was my take. That's the part that is hard. What's weird to me is that while the Dodgers already have a, you know, win in the, you know, a W in the win column, other teams are still like, it's spring training, guys. It's weird. It's just, it's too far away though, to. You can't fly over there, play a game and then just get right back in there. I've actually been to Japan. I went there when I was a teenager and the, the jet lag is real. It is very real. Is that when you were modeling internationally? I was New York. And ha. I was 15. He's too sexy. Little blond kid, 15 years old. And I was taller than most of the men there. Yeah, I was like, not tall people for the most part, but I was like, towering over. But just to think, like, right now, as we speak, the Angels and Reds are playing in a meaningless game. Yet 10 hours ago, Dodgers are, you know, playing for something, beating the Cubs. Yeah. So they played. It's official. But they played at 3:00am yeah. Now, Rich, before we get into the Joey Gallo story and reinventing yourself. Yeah. And the Dodgers jerseys. Can I just tell you, as a Yankees fan, I'm never the pessimistic type of guy. I'm never the fan that says they suck and mad about it. But I really do think that unless they make a significant move. And again, we're talking about the team that played the Dodgers in the World Series. Unless they make a significant move soon, their season's washed before it even starts. And you see a lot about this on social media, my algorithm especially, but I don't hear a lot of people on Fox Sports necessarily talking about it. How significant the injuries have been for the Yankees. They're the team that you think have a shot to come back. You and I bet a thousand dollars on who'd have a better record, the Yankees or the Mets. You know, I'm sort of liking that bet. You got no heel, right? Who was the rookie of the year last year? At least no heel for now. No heel on the heel. No heel. You got Clark Schmidt, who's saying he can't be ready because he's claw injured. You got Giancarlo Stanton with bad elbows. How much tennis was this guy playing in the off season? No Garrett Cole, no Roger, no rerun, no rent. It's not looking good for Los Yankees. Derek Cole out for the season. Maybe they should start shaving again. Their best slugger, the only guy that really stepped up last year in the postseason. Stanton out. At least for now. I don't know how they're going to do it unless they make a significant move. They got no one at third base. They got nobody at third base. D.J. you're banking on D.J. lemayhue and his in his hurt tootsies. Well, if it makes you feel any better, Juan Soto has five home runs in spring training and he's batting like 400. Oh, and Clay Holmes is starting on opening day. That's. That's the reason I bring it up. When you got Teams that are so uber stacked nowadays in a very competitive ale, obviously, right? Those are good teams in the AL east, but you got the Dodgers, you got the Phillies, you got the Mets. The Mets really have a golden opportunity to seize this moment, not only because you have Juan Soto, but because all of these stars on the Yankees don't look like they're going to be able to step up. So, as a fan, for the first time, where I'm actually really usually anticipating the star, I'm like, man, they're doomed. Now, listen, man, unless something happens, the Yankees, Dodgers, there's teams that always have high hopes every year. But when you are riddled with injuries, no matter what sport it is, you got to just keep in mind, so many teams make the playoffs now, and baseball has caught up not necessarily to the level of the NBA or the NHL, where under 500 teams make the playoffs, but. Dude, it's. It's March. What is it? March 18? It is, but Garrett Cole's not coming back, dude. He's got Tommy John. He's got the surgery. So it's not like, oh, well, you get him in the postseason, you put the emphasis on Tommy. Tom. Yes. You like that? Hey, as the owner, were you feeling that, too, as the owner? As opposed to Martin John. You got the Tommy John. The Tommy John. Yep. Sounds like he's got appendicitis. He's got Tommy John. Tommy John. Tommy John. Yeah. You know, I'm not as optimistic, Radiohead style, as I usually am. That's great. But you just blew my mind that we all say Elton John, but we say Tommy. Tommy John. Two people with a John last name. But we've decided the emphasis. Yes, we have. We determined that somehow. Elton John. But it's Tommy John. Tommy. Yeah. Tommy John, sir. Interesting. Anyway, I think we need a timeout to go to Dan Beyer. It annoys me when people call them the Green Bay packers. Because we would go Green Bay, like, emphasize the Bay. The Saints, where are they from? Are you a New Orleans guy or New Orleans? Well, I was New Orleans until I was told it is not Louisville. Better than Dan Byer. Louisville? Yeah. You're told that has eight L's? He's the league leader, your pal Monty Belanos. I love when she says Timberwolves. That's my favorite. That or Cardinals. The Louisville Cardinals. That's a Me and Monsieur Combo there. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into prohibition, the government is Starting to go. Okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, SNAFU, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula Six. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to poisoned liquor. And all along an unlikely the duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people?

We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages. And try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said, we're finished. This is over. It only is not gonna work. Try to get rid of those guys.

Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls, and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good. A campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies. They're going to kill me. Listen to cautionary tales on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Are your ears bored? Yeah. Are you looking for a new podcast that will make you laugh, learn and say, que? Yeah. Then tune in to locatora radio season 10 today. Okay. I'm Diosa. I'm Mala, the host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a miniseries, totally nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres. You could turn on the TV, you see Talia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen. All the girlies doing their things, all of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to locatora radio season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now, Rich, you want to tell us about your problem? Do you got a problem? Rich is saying he's got a problem. I do have one question, and it's a yes or no. And then we could. I could tell you my problem. You brought up Tracy Morgan and Astronaut Jones, those two astronauts that were just saved. Do you think at any point they were, like, so lonely that they were like, you want to have space loving? She looks like she aged 10 years on the one trip. I know. So you think she's like, I look like I'm aging Quickly. I might as well try to make love to this man. You think this happened at all or no? Nothing? No. Can you take your space off suit off and do that? I mean, how do you bathe? Have a sports related space question? Did you see that clip of the dude that throws himself a pitch, hits it and then catches it? Are you talking about Bugs Bunny cartoon? No. You know, with the gravity of outer space, it's so cool. Because I would want to do that if I was floating around in space. I love Dan Byer. Threw his headphones. So clearly he has some outer space ins. Yeah, let's talk about space love here. No, the thing that I was gonna say is that thing is there's cameras everywhere. They're being watched. So that would be, I think, the tricky part. Except if you were, I guess, to relieve yourself. I don't know what they have for a bathroom. Onlyfans in outer space. Think of the money, the profits. Be a little awkward taking off your space pants in front of all those people. But they're not in the spacewalk outfit the whole time they're there like in a polo shirt. So they're not like they're not geared up for 255 straight days. I'm just saying if people get, you know, if people get all riled up after two weeks on a reality dating show, imagine nine months, you and one other person, they must start to look good no matter who they are. That's all I'm saying. So space love here on Kavino river, they have vacuum toilets with a funnel for urination and a seat for number two. It's like the perverted Bugs Bunny thought. Remember when the guys were stranded on the island, the fat guy looked like a hamburger and then the skinny guy looked like a hot dog. Because they were on the is. They were so hungry. Yeah, they were so hungry they wanted roast rabbit. If you're trapped in space, even with the most average looking person, after a while they might start looking pretty good. It's true. That's Rich's thought here. I love my women looking like Broomhilda. Yeah. All right. So sorry. Let's go back to my Dodger thought. Let's do it. I walk into work today, Danny G's got his Dodgers hat on. Big Mike, who runs his place. Who? You know the guy that runs I Heart and Premier Radio Networks. I think he got a raise. Isn't he? And a promotion. Doesn't he run everything there? And he runs Pawn Stars. He runs Premier Networks as well. Yeah. So Big Mike, Danny G. And our pal Bersh, editor supreme. And I'm sure Bo as well. Everyone is wearing their Dodgers gear. It's opening day. But I ask you this. Since the game was on at 3am had the Dodgers lost, would you have wore your Dodgers? Oh, 100%. It's still opening day even after an L. It's just one game, so who cares if you lose the first game? It's not a big deal. I think as a fan, you have to rock your gear on opening day. That's a fair thought. I'm just saying, like, for instance, regardless, call me a man with no huevos, but when the 49ers lose, I mean, we do behind your back all the time. Every time I leave the studio and Dan Buyer comes in here, is that what you guys say? Okay, there he goes. The man with no huevos. If the Niners lose a close game on Sunday, I'm not wearing a 49ers T shirt or a hoodie. Why has it affect your fandom the one game that Monday, and isn't that when the team needs their supporters the most? Then, you know, maybe I just suck. Yeah, we tell you that all the time when we talk about fair weather fandom. We fought about this so many times. So like a real fan is a fan no matter what, win or lose. I know, but still, opening day, that's what you're celebrating. Take the temperature of the room. Meaning like if, if the Mets get eliminated in like game six against the Dodgers. I'm not wearing my Mets jersey that next day. It's run its course. Great season, but I'm not rocking it the day after an L. I. My thought is you go to the gym, you walk going around town if you're wearing a losing jersey. I just feel like you give it a day rest if you're a guy that wears a lot of sports gear. So it is an interesting question that only pertains to this particular moment because they played at 3am so by the time you woke up, you did have a decision. Yeah. Everyone else next week when it's really opening day could wake up, you know, put on their jeans and their Jordans and put on their baseball shirt. Yeah. You don't know what's going to happen. But you knew it happened. But of course the Dodgers win, so. I know. But had the Dodgers lost, would Big Micah be like, I'm going to wear my salmon button down instead? He said, no, actually, he said he's win or lose, you got to support your team. Plus, you're you're representing the fact that the they're defending champions. Your thoughts, your feedback? We'll take it next at Covino and Rich Something else I actually saw more than the highlights of this first game of the Major League Baseball season. I'm seeing this all over social media. In fact, I posted it on my Instagram story at Rich Davis, if you want to follow along. What Sam Rockwell's monologue on episode five of the White Lotus? No, I heard it's great though. The Happy Gilmore two trailers out and Bad Bunny and John Daly and you saw Shooter. You saw Julie Bowen looking hot. You saw. Honestly, I hope this is not bad. I don't care gonna be so let down. I don't My observation is this and think of it already. Know what you will it seems like it's more heart tugging or heartfelt based on the trailer. I'm not saying that's an accurate assessment, but based on the trailer seems like a heartfelt sort of movie as opposed to like a stupid comedy that we were used to in the first one. But my feelings on Happy Gilmore 2, to be honest, won't really change much. Even if the movie stinks, the nostalgia alone will be worth any of our hour and 45 minutes. Like no one's gonna watch this. Let me check that. No one if you're 35 to 50 something years old. And the Sandman When I was in high school When I was in high school and college, nothing meant more to me then Billy Madison Happy Gilmore wedding singer Nothing that meant more to you than boobies did when you were in high school. Maybe that boobies and Sandler movies and Big Daddy. That's a good one. Nudie magazine day wasn't more important. You know what? Maybe you're right. Hiding my nudie magazines inside Sports Illustrated covers. Yeah, playing high school baseball wasn't more important. Sandler movies are up there. But the point is the Sandman brought us so much joy with again, those are my that's the trifecta for me. Billy Madison Happy Gilmore wedding singer Danny G. Said big Daddy some people love the, you know, water boy. But Sandman meant so much to us that I refuse to be disappointed because in my mind, worst case scenario, it's the only reason we fill in for Dan Patrick to be honest, hoping that Sandler is listening and he'll put us in a movie someday. Yeah, Dan Patrick's gonna have a cameo on the new one. So my feelings are are simple. Yes, we know. So are your thoughts. Even if it's a hunk of junk the Nostalgia alone will be enough for me to be excited about July 25th when it comes out, and I will be very excited to watch it. Everybody's watching, no doubt. And I was going to say, if you're a grown man or woman that says, no, I'm going to pass on this one. We are cut from such a different cloth. It's unbelievable, because this movie, it passes on. A Netflix movie, like, it's so easy for you to watch. You're the same Jabroni that sleeps through New Year's. You're that guy. 10:00, I went to bed. Yeah, I don't think we're gonna hear people passing on it, Rich. It's just almost like sacred ground. So just. I don't want to be disappointed. I don't want to be disappointed that much. An analogy. Maybe not the best one, because I don't put them in the same category, but when Eddie Murphy came back to do Coming to America, the second one, that wasn't the best, but I loved every second of it because of all the callbacks from the first one. It. It just hit you in the feels, as they say. It got your nostalgia going. And come July, if some grown man's like, I'm not going to watch, there's a good chance I might give you a little punch in the neck. Little. Get your head out of your ass. I hope it's good. The trailer looks nice. Even if it's not good again, an hour and 40 minutes, you'll be like, ah, that nostalgia felt good. Yeah, I'm not really expecting much. In fact, I don't even care if it's good or bad. So your homework assignment tonight, even though we don't like doing homework, is to watch the trailer. Make an assessment for yourself. It's available now. And then, of course, watch episode five of the White Lotus because everybody's talking about. And fill out your Fox Sports Radio bracket. There it is. Do all of those things and do that, too. And not only Danny G. Fill out the bracket. Watch that White Lotus monologue you speak. I mean, everybody else is talking about it, so. Yeah, there's two of the movies I want to bring up real quick. Right quick. There's a movie. Can you find me the title? Camino? I'll keep forgetting. No, like 80 years of lies and deceit. There's a movie that debuted at south by Southwest that pretty much insinuates aliens are among us. And they're saying it's the most convincing legitimate talking heads in this documentary about UFOs aliens and how. It's pretty official. They're here and they're saying this movie is. Anyone that's watching it? It's called the Age of Disclosure. I think anyone that's seen this at a film festival, if you're into like aliens and UFOs, they're saying people are reacting like, no way they're here. They might be. So it looks really dope though. People are, like Rich said, reacting. Interviews with 34 members of the U.S. government, military and intelligence community. They're saying it's a. It's really a cover up because it's been a race to reverse Engineer all the UAPs and UFOs that with other governments. Right? Yeah. With we have in our possession. It's a. It's a. It's a race to reverse these with other countries. So Gilmore 2 trailer, this movie that who knows when this is coming out, south by Southwest, this docu series documentary and on Netflix. They're saying they spend so much money on the Electric State. Is anyone planning on watching this? Millie, Bobby Brown, Chris Pratt. It's trending. Number one. It's like Robots in the future. Who else? Kehoe Kwan, Short Round. He's in it. He's in it. Well, now I'm watching Woody Harrelson, Giancarlo Esposito from Breaking Bad, Stanley Tucci, Anthony Mackie, Jenny Slate. It's like a star studded. They're saying it's from the people that create all the Marvel movies. So the budget's astronomical, but as you call it, rotten potatoes, not tomatoes. Giving it like 15% so far. Yeah. So a high budget stinker is what it sounds like. Have you even seen the trailer for this, Danny? I have, yeah. The robot movie. Someone left a comment on one of our fan pages. We have fan pages, believe it or not. What do you call Carl pages? Most of the quote unquote fans are complaining. I know Covino and Rich listener pages, if you want to complain as well. On Facebook, the Carl's Covino and Rich listeners shout out to them. It was like something along the lines of Netflix putting out all these high budget films that you essentially are paying for. And that's why they jack up the prices. Never really looked at it that way. Like, oh, there's a another high budgeted movie that is gonna stink that we're paying for. Well, when you hear that they give like a Chris Rock or Chappelle or someone like $20 million for a comedy special. Where do you think they're getting that money? $20 a month? It was like. It broke the glass on me. I'm like, really? Yeah. Well, that. I didn't want to pay for this stinker. Have you guys noticed this trend of end of times shows like Silo Paradise, Zero Day? A lot of the plots right now are they just go world coming to an end. Yeah, you know what? I'll name drop. We had director. No, he's not a director, Ron. His brother is Clint Howard. We had Clint Howard on our show. I should get paid extra for having to read this bozo's mind. Can we put that in my next contract? Cavino gets extra for having to read Rich's mind. We had. We had Clint on Clint, his brother who. His brother who's best known for being the mutant fan in the water boy, Clint Howard. He has this famous line with exchange with another fan. Best tackler I see since Joe Montana. Joe Montana was a quarterback, you idiot. I said Joe Montana. I said Joe Montana. That's one of my favorite lines from the waterboy. Clint is Ron's brother, and he's in all those movies. And Covino asked him, is Hollywood showing us all these disaster movies to prepare us for something real that you all know that's happening? He looked at Covino. I thought I was hitting him with a doozy. For real. He looked at him and he's like, are you effing kidding me? And seemed disgusted. Inside track. Ron Howard's your brother. How come when all these movies come out, it's like, are you trying to. Do you guys know something? You have connections. What are you trying to prepare us for? What do you know? He made me feel so dumb. Looking back, it was sort of a dumb question. That was a good Clint Howard impression. Are you. That was Rich. Are you effing kidding me? That's what he said. Yeah, I'm bad. Joe Montana. Joe Montana. I said Joe Montana. Look out for all these new movies and trailers as we get ready for the madness in baseball. And of course, Shaq Diesel trivia on the show today. Now, speaking of baseball, Rich, there's a story that's sweeping not necessarily the nation, but my algorithm. After all the UFO stuff, after all the White Lotus. After all. Give me another one. It's another viral story right now. It's my algorithm. My algorithm is now. Because I'm coaching and I looked up one time, like drills to do with T ball kids. My algorithm is all these blowhards that are like, here's the. Here's how to. It's all batting stances and how to. You know, that college baseball player celebrating with the white line, by the way, that's the new celebration. That guy is everywhere. You're right. The cocaine snort celebration. That guy should be applauded for creativity, not for insinuating drug use. But that was. Apparently, it's the second time it's been done in soccer. There was a legendary moment where a soccer player kneeled down and did, like he was pretending he was snorting the line. Not to condone drug use, but that was pretty damn creative. No, I mean, it was a good one. It went viral, like we said. And that's the viral moment itself. Yeah, that's how you make it in today's world. Was enough for whatever punishment he got from the team. I want you to look up Joey Gallo's stats because again, he's all over my algorithm. It's baseball time. I'm a baseball fan. You say Gallo or Callo. Joey Gallo. Oh, okay. Joey Gallo, who was hitting bombs with the Rangers, came with the Yankees, stunk it up. They got rid of them. Who? Nationals picked them up, then? No, the White Sox. In there. Somewhere in there. I don't know. He was all. You're just naming teams. Jeez, this guy's been the banana. I think he played for the Bananas for a minute. So, Joey Gallo, only 31 years old, for the record. 31 years old, born in 1993. So he's a young man. He's the same age as my little brother. That's the other thing. We have this, like. We have this belief that because they're superstars, they're larger than life, and they're older than they really are. He's a kid. When he was born, I was graduating high school. Not to date myself, but that's the truth. Stop reading. College. So he's really a kid. He's only 31. 10 years in the league already, 208 career home runs. Joey Gallo, never known for his batting average. In fact, you want to hear an embarrassing stat for a guy with such power numbers. His career batting average makes you want a Tracy Morgan, blah, 1. 94. So he's on the interstate below it. But again, he did his. He had a 2:40 home run seasons, almost three. So hitting bombs released by the White Sox. Here's a fun fact about him in 2021. I don't know if this has ever been done. This might be one of those trivia night stats. He led the league a couple years back in strikeouts and walks. I don't know if that's ever been done. Think about that. Who would always lead the league in walks? Guy with a good eye and good control. Right. Like a Juan Soto or Tony Gwynn type. You think those guys ever led the league in strikeouts? I mean, dude, he's a former All Star, right? Yeah. That's why the Yankees got him when they got him. But he didn't deliver. Then he was on the Dodgers and Minnesota and Nationals. Released by the White. So here's the if I'm wrong, Kavino, was Gallo the guy that had such a rough run with the Yankees that he like, apologized and he was all like, sad about it? Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was sad. It was bad. Like he lost his mojo completely. When he was with the Yankees, he batted 159. 12 home runs. Sorry to hear that. I know. So he was recently released by the White Sox and Gallo announced his plan to transition. What, to pitching? To pitching. He had expressed interest if things didn't work out with a major league team, he would start pitching. Is according to assistant GM Josh Barfield and according to Joey Gallo. So now you're seeing all these photos of Joey Gallo, you know, getting ready to pitch, and he looks frightened. In all the pictures I'm looking at, I'm like, well, that's not a good start. Needs to put some confidence on. And you can only root for the guy because it's a cool story. I love stories like this. He's got to reinvent himself at this point. I know you and I. He has a cannon. I know he's a big dude. I know he has a good arm. And I know you and I know the answer. So let's see if I was Sam or Danny G. Could figure it out. I know the record. Buyer probably knows he's a 6 foot 5, 250 pound beastadon who has a cannon of an arm. So if you can get his mechanics right, you know, he could throw some heat. I know that. Dan Buyer definitely knows. So does Danny G. Or I would say, remember the guy that did the opposite, Started as a pitcher and then transitioned to a position player. It happened in the last 20 years. I think it's common knowledge. No. Yeah. The Cardinal. Yes. Initials are A. Oh, man. Rick Ankiel. Rick Ankiel. Rick and Keel. Yeah. Remember that? He was. He was a pitcher, lost his mojo, couldn't find the strike zone and transitioned to a position player, played the outfield, you know, had a little bit of a run. Joey Gallo is trying to do the opposite. He's. He's a guy that was hitting 40 home runs and he's like, yeah, done with that. I think I could get on the hill. So you could only root for this. And it's an interesting story. Is he throwing junk, though? Is it. He, like, discover a knuckle ball or something? Or is it. Or does he? Dude, he's. He's a professional ballplayer. You gotta imagine every stage of his career until the major leagues. He was probably throwing cheese, throwing gas in the minors, in high school, as the. As the story goes. We've. We've talked to him about this. Back in our SNY days in New York, Jacob deGrom, before he was a Cy Young Award winner making 40 million plus with the Rangers. Now, Jacob deGrom was a great hitter as a pitcher. You know why? Because in the minors, he was a shortstop, and they sort of said, hey, you got some mechanics and you got an arm. And they made Jacob deGrom into a pitcher in the minor league system. So Joey Gallo just not cutting it anymore as a hitter in the bigs. Right? His production has gone down. He said, goodbye outfield. It's been a nice run, and he's going to the mound. Let it be clear. Rooting for him. Sounds cool. Hope he could make it work. I doubt it's as easy as it sounds. Just because he has a strong arm, you know, you can't undermine what real pitchers have accomplished. You know what? You know what no one in the room has brought up yet? What it really puts in perspective, what Ohtani does. Oh, yeah, yeah, no doubt. That's amazing. I mean, like, we're talking about, like, man, is it possible? Yeah, it's possible. There's a guy that does it named Shohei Ohtani at an elite level, but we're rooting for him. It makes you think, though, of other people that reinvented themselves. And it's also inspiring because sometimes in life, you as a regular fella, have to do that over and over again. And maybe you've seen it in your own life. You've seen a family member lose a job or their position's obsolete because times have changed and they got to figure out some new sort of skill or, you know, they put it to the test. You're like, damn, that was pretty cool. What stories come to mind for you? And they're always fun. They don't always pan out. We saw Tim Tebow try to make that transition. I got a great one for you, and it was fun to see, but it didn't pan out. I got one that definitely comes to mind, and we all have, like you said, we have those personal examples in life. Like, this is not my example, by the way, but I had a college buddy who got into radio. When you and I were on our early days of radio, he was on in Nashville and Pittsburgh. He was a radio dj. Danny, like all of our pals, you know, growing up, radio DJs, he got fired from his last gig and he's like, I'm done. Now he owns like salons around the Midwest. Like, him and his wife own like seven salons. So people transition from job to job and, you know, it's cool to see someone have success. Gallo's lucky that he's young enough to still, you know, I'm sticking in baseball at this point. The baseball, switching it up. The baseball transition that comes to mind for me, being a National League fan, we saw Smoltzi go from dominant starter to dominant closer. I mean, maybe you don't remember. I was thinking along those lines too. Maddox, though, because he, he went just all out crafty after a while. Like, some players can't reinvent their game once they lose their fastball, and then other players, they make that, that transition to, no, I'm now a knuckleballer or I'm now a crafty junk thrower and it works for them. But yeah, small, he became a dominant reliever for sure. But the crazy part about Smoltz, honestly, if you have a chance and you're just putzing around later, look at John Smoltz stats in the mid to late 90s. I'll give you 1996. Kavino, 24, 8 with a 2, 9 ERA. 253 innings. Burning innings. Like this guy was eating innings. Dominant. Right. There was a time in the early 2000s, 55 saves, 45 saves. And then you know what the crazy part is? He then went back to starting. I don't know if everyone remembers that. Smoltz went back to starting, and then in 2006, he had a league leading 16 wins as a starter. So he went from. They'll be like Mariana Rivera being like, you know what? I'm going to win 20 games now. So that's insane. Players, people that just reinvented themselves in this sort of respectable way. Danny G. Yeah, really quick. I was thinking of an NBA player, Ray Allen. Early on he was a high scorer. And then he transitioned to being a catch and shoot, three point specialist. Three point assassin, transitioned this game. Anyone else come to mind? Yeah, I mean, you think of the sport, and again, it doesn't even have to be sports. You know, it's just that pivot that some people need to make sometimes just to extend their career or to last in the game. You know, it's not my typical example, but I just heard this story recently, and I never really knew the real answer. Like, a lot of people criticized boxer Paulie Malinaggi for not having any, any power, right? And he explained recently, he's like, nah, man, I, I busted up. I, I, I busted up my hand so many times. I needed to, I need to reinvent my game. So, you know, I didn't have that knockout power anymore, so I was just going for, like, I, I had to be a guy that just went for the points. That's a good Elinaji impression because he lost the power in his hand because he broke it and mangled it so many times. He became a guy that was, that was looking for the big punch to the guy that was just trying to outpoint everybody using his, his slick boxing abilities because he had no other option, you know, so he did have to reinvent himself. He had no, no longer had a power punch. So I didn't know that until recently. So it's usually an injury or the job is just not even there for you anymore where people have to reinvent themselves, become crafty and, you know, I wish Joey Gallo all the luck in the world. Yeah, I think it'll be a fun story to follow. Prohibition. It's no secret that banning alcohol didn't stop people from living it up in the 1920s. When we're five years into prohibition, the government is starting to go, okay, this isn't working. In fact, you might even say it backfired spectacularly. I'm Ed Helms, and on season three of my podcast, Snafu, we're taking you back to the 1920s and the tale of Formula 6. Because what you probably don't know about Prohibition is that American citizens were dying in massive numbers due to to poisoned liquor. And all along, an unlikely duo was trying desperately to stop the corruption behind it. They were like superhero crusaders turning the page on a system that didn't work, wasn't fair, and was corrupt. So how did Prohibition's war on alcohol go so off the rails that the government wound up poisoning its own people? To find out, listen and subscribe to snafu on the iHeartrade app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Mark Seale. And I'm Nathan King. This is Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli. The five families did not want us to Shoot that picture. Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli is based on my co host Mark's best selling book of the same title. And on this show we call upon his years of research to help unpack the story behind the Godfather's birth. From start to finish, this is really the first interview I've done in band. We sift through innumerable accounts. 35 pages isn't very much, many of them conflicting. That's nonsense. There were 60 pages and try to get to the truth of what really happened. And they said we're finished. This is over. It only is not going to work. Dare get rid of those guys. It's that Leave the Gun Take the Cannoli features new and archival interviews with Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Evans, James Caan, Talia Shire and many others. Yes, that was a real horse's head.

I'm excited to share my podcast with you. Math and Stories from the frontiers of Marketing. This week I'm talking to the CEO of Moderna, Stephane Bonsell, about how he led his team through unprecedented times to create, test and distribute a COVID vaccine, all in less than a year. It becomes a human decision to decide to throw by the window your business strategy and to do what you think is the right thing for the world. Join me as we uncover innovations in data and analytics, the math and the ever important creative spark, the magic. Listen to math and magic stories from the frontiers of Marketing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. My name is Harry Houdini. Harry Houdini could make elephants disappear, walk through walls and escape the Chinese water torture cell. But he was also on a mission against mediums. I have never seen one genuine medium. Join me, Tim Harford, for a cautionary tales trilogy on the world's most famous magician. It takes a flim flammer to catch a flim flammer. Houdini wanted the world to see reason in an age of spiritualism. He went undercover to seances, exposed fakes and charlatans, and even tried to convince Washington lawmakers to ban mediums for good. A campaign that cost him friends and made him many enemies. They're going to kill me. Listen to Caution retails on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Are your ears bored? Yeah. Are you looking for a new podcast that will make you laugh, learn and say G? Yeah. Then tune in to locatora radio season 10 today. Okay. I'm Diosa. I'm Mala, the host of Locatora Radio, a radiophonic novella, which is just a very extra way of saying a podcast. We're launching this season with a miniseries, totally nostalgic, a four part series about the Latinos who shaped pop culture in the early 2000s. It's Lala checking in with all things Y2K 2000s. My favorite memory, honestly, was us having our own media platforms like Mundos and MTV Tres. You could turn on the TV, you see Thalia, you see JLo, Nina Sky, Evie Queen. All the girlies doing their things. All of the beauty reflected right back at us. It was everything. Tune in to locatora radio season 10. Now that's what I call a podcast. Listen to Locatora Radio Season 10 on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So who else comes to mind when it comes to reinventing their game, their career? I don't know why I kept thinking about Mike Hampton. I felt like he was one of those Rick and Keel guys, but I don't think he was. Rick and Keel comes to mind. Yeah, Debo Samuel comes to mind. Danny G and I were just talking about this during the break. He used to be an elite wide receiver that would also carry the ball. Now he's just a mediocre wide receiver. But you know what it is? It all stems from having the raw talent yourself. What a sour niner. It doesn't even have to be in sports. It could be in everyday life. Like another recent one. Again, it's not my go to example, but Trent Reznor, I keep seeing this clip, was in a band called Slam Bamboo. You could look it up. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails. Slam Bamboo. Because at the time, like, new wave synth pop was the thing. He was a talented guy in a goober 80s band, but you know what? He's like, I still got talent. I need to pivot and reinvent myself. He became this rock God in the industrial movement. He won an Academy Award too. Yeah, like, yeah, again with his scores and stuff like that. So a guy that reinvents himself. According to the Times, I will nominate Jason Kidd. When we knew Jason Kidd, coming from college to the NBA, his nickname was actually Acen Kidd because they said he had no J. He had no jumper, he couldn't score. You look now he made himself a three point shooter at the end of his career and we did a game time or whatever. The last one standing, Jason Kidd is like second all time and you know, or in top five and three pointers made in your. In the NBA. So it's. Yeah, he's one that pops up. He adjusted his game. And you bring up Trent Reznor. I. Listen, I'm not saying she's at the top of my list, but how can you ignore the fact that Beyonce just won best country album at the Grammys? Me? Because that's debatable. It's a horrible example. Horrible example. Maybe she paid. She paid for that. Maybe you don't like it. Travis. La. What's up, Travis? I kind of agree with Steve. Switching genres a little bit isn't really like a big reinvention. But what I was gonna say, if Danny G, super producer ever has to reinvent himself, he can sell bootleg Raiders merch on the strip. It's true. I mean, he does that already. Yeah. Yeah, Trevor and downtown la. Well, we'll take one more from Trevor and then we'll play our game. What's up, Trev? Hey, what's going on, guys? What's up? I got an honorable mention. Be Corduroy Corderell Patterson for the. For the Falcons return, man. Wide receivers are running back. Yep. But my other favorite show on Fox Sports. All right, you. Oh, we'll never know. Yeah, I was. I was thinking this was the Dan Byers. Is that the guy? Good work. I caught him. I caught him. Spidey sense. Well, with that said, let's play Shaq Diesel trivia. All right, Come on. Whenever we say not to name drop, that means we're about to name drop. I'll name drop. Oh, my goodness. Not only are CNR friends with Tyson and Mahomes. Hey, man. They're also buddies with the Big Aristotle. What's up? It's big Shaq Diesel, AKA Shaq Fu, AKA Shaq Daddy, AKA the Big Aristotle. Guess what? It's time to win some C prizes. Time for some basketball trivia. Basketball trivia. What he said. I used to break bad boys. Now breaking records for FSR Radio. Shaq Diesel, basketball trivia. There he is. FSR security walking broke Shaq Fu into the main studio. Perfect timing because I went from basketball legend to rapper, to DJ to spokesman to broadcaster. Always reinvented myself. Yeah, I saw you on a Home Depot commercial. I'm here to bring you ratings. Yeah, you went from a really bad free throw shooter to a really bad free throw shooter. Now I'm a game show host. All right, let's meet the contestants. Ten time winner, Rich Davis, right over there. What's up? Four time winner, Spotty Boy. Joining us, make it big, number five 12 time winner, Dan Byer, right over there. Hello. And looking to win a CNR stainless steel Swiggy on our studio lines. All right, buyer, I'll use you for this. Would you love to travel to beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada? St. Louis, Missouri, Jackson, Mississippi, or Dover, New Hampshire? Let's go to Mississippi. M I S S. Andy, what's up? Hey, how's it going? You know, it's good to talk to you, Shaq, you know. Hey, what's up, man? Yeah, it's good. It's all good here. Let me just say. All right. I thought you were gonna say Joey Gallo was transitioning back to impractical jokers. No, that's a different guy. That's Joey Ghetto. Joe Gatto. Yes. Got it. Good one. All right. I like this guy. I'm glad I went to miss Joey Ghetto. Yeah, he's coming with the jokes already. Rules for Shaq, Diesel Trivia. The first contestant with two correct answers is the champion. If there's a tie, we have a tiebreaker question. Your name is your buzzer, but you do have to wait until all three possible answers are read. If there's two wrong ones in a row, we move on to the next question. Are you ready, Shaq? Let's get it on. All right, let's get this big Aristotle party started. In 2015, my boy Klay Thompson scored 37 points in a single quarter. Who did he drop it on? A, the Sacramento Kings, B, the Portland Trail Blazers or C, the Utah Jazz. Andy. Andy. B. No. Ooh, weak conviction, though. Rich. Rich for the steal. B. No. No, you're both losers. Guessing it was the Sacramento Kings. Shame on. Did you both say B? Yeah, he said B. And you. Then you said B? No, he said C, didn't he? No, he said B too. I thought maybe you both got it wrong. You both picked the wrong answer. Yeah, and Clay finished with 52 points in that game, even though he sat out most of the fourth quarter. Damn. Crazy. I feel like Andy was wrong, but Rich was more wrong. He was, like, twice as wrong. All right, nobody on the board yet as we move to round two. All right, round two. Okay, let's talk about a squad that dominated. Which team was the first to sweep the NBA Finals? A, the Detroit Pistons. B, the Boston Celtics or C, the Houston Rockets? Andy. Andy. Rockets. No, I'm on a Rocket Dan, a buyer for the Steeles Celtics. Yes. The 1959 Boston swept the Minneapolis Lakers. I'm sorry, what's that? Minneapolis. Minneapolis. He never. Shaq, you never played in Minneapolis. All right, buyer on the board as we move to round three. Round three. What was I once quoted saying about my club days? A, the only thing I did at the clubs was DJ or dance Bay. I can't remember all the names of the strippers in the Champagne Room. Or C, I can't remember the names of all the clubs I went to. Andy. Andy. Hey. No, I know. I like how Andy's firing, though. Spot. Spot for the steal. C. Yes. All right, spot and DB on the board, the names of all the clubs I went to. Yep. All right, we move on to round. I dance like. I dance like the Jabberwockies at the club. I know. Yeah, you dance like Pee Wee Herman as we go to round four. Jabberwockies. All right, round four. Who's the youngest NBA player to score 30,000 points in his career? A, LeBron. B, Kobe. C, Michael Jordan. Rich. Rich. Kobe. No. Oh. A. Oh, andy. Yes. Andy. LeBron. Yeah. Yes. Correct. All right. LeBron James at 33 years old. Damn. I'm sitting this out. Three way tie with Dan, Spot and Andy. I don't want to ruin this. I'm back. I'm out. Here we go. Round five. Round five. Who is the first NBA player inducted into the Yeet? Naismith. The Naismith Memorial Basketball hall of Fame. Thanks. Check. Was it A, John Wooden, B, George Meekin or. Or C, Bob Crusy. Damn. Buyer for the win. I'm gonna say George Mikan. Yes. I'm gonna say George Meekin. You can say Mikin. Say whatever you like. But you know what? Andy inducted in 1959. Man, I like Andy. That's the way to do it in these games. You gotta guess in every category. I like it. Andy. Good job. And for that, Dan Byer. What do you say we send Andy a swiggy or one. Yes. I love. He had his own impression. Andy did a great job. Yes. Not that Shaq's imprisoning himself, but just. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah, right. All right, Andy, stay on the line. We're going to send you a Swiggy. Okay. Sweet. Earlier in the show, you were saying how you were concerned about the health of your New York Yankees. It's really disheartening when you see so many big names. Like, we're talking key players, we're talking the biggest slugger on the Yankees now Carlos Stanton. We're talking Garrett Cole. We're talking the rookie of the year. You got no heel on the heel. But I listen, I got no third baseman. I look at it this way. Other than Garrett Cole, which is a huge loss. But then again, he hasn't been the best playoff pitcher for you guys. But nonetheless a big loss. Other than Garrett, call all these other people at some point you would assume will be back this season and over 162 game stretch with three wild cards. Dude, Louise Heel is out for three months. I know, but anytime the season, Schmidt, who knows? I know. I'm just saying, when there's going to be a third wild card that goes 86 and 76 roughly and slides into the playoffs and how wild card teams have had success, I don't look at it as, man, my team needs to win 100 games. Look at the last five plus years of baseball. Yeah, the Dodgers were dominant last year, but other than a couple teams that just dominated, a lot of times it's who's hot in October? So when people are worried about baseball in March and April, I. It's hard for me not to be like, relax. Like, I get the concern with Garrett Cole because he's out and he's your ace. That sucks. But other than that, if Stanton's back in six months, you know when that is, September, you're still fine. Like, baseball is a long ass season. When I say long ass. You ever see that picture of John Lennon's long ass? Oh, no. With Yoko Ono on that album cover. Somebody stop him, please. Have you ever seen that? I think the caffeine is kicking in. Sorry. Go on. Sorry. No, carry on. John Lennon's ass. Tell us more. You've never seen that album cover where they got. It's not real. I. But it. All right. Just saying. You know what? I'm out of here. By the way, it really is worth the Google search. It is. Rich is not lying. So unnecessary to bring up right now, but it's so worth it. Search John Lennon's long ass crack. I've seen longer cracks at the Grand Canyon. Well, I. Hilarious. I don't know. It's a really funny image, but it's real. Google image. It's John altered. It's been doctored. Yes, John Lennon's long ass. And the reason I bring it up is because I said the baseball season. This is doctored. Like Soto's belly. Of course it's doctored. But John Lennon's long ass crack, that's how long the Season is Danny G. It's March. You're chilly. Guess what? Really leaning into it. You're going to go right now. You got a little hoodie on. You know why this story's as long as John Lennon's ass cracking? You're a hoodie. You know why? You know why, you dumbass? You're wearing a hoodie because it's chilly. You know, you get like. You know, teams don't come down to one game in those beginning of the season games do matter. I know you're. I know what you're saying, but it's silly. Because you're wearing a hoodie because it's chilly out. You're going to go through spring, summer, everything, and then when it matters, it'll be cold again. Rich. I feel like Rich cried about the Mets for four months last year and look at how far they went. Remember, Spot, I was crying about those. Like, I think I'm going to give up after the Mets. And then all of a sudden, Grimace comes out in October and you know, the destiny's changed. So listen, if I were you, other than Garrett Cole, just remind yourself that the season is like John Lennon's ass crack. Long, long and strong. Really long, long and winding road. And the football season's like Yoko's. If you see that image exactly every game, that is war, right? Yoko's like football. We'll see you guys tomorrow at Kobe Nonrich. And we'll see you then. Ariva Darcy, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Goodbye, guys. Guys, I'm going home. This is Nikki Glaser from the Nikki Glaser podcast. Have you guys seen this new commercial from Stand up to All Hate? It's basically Snoop Dogg and Tom Brady going back and forth with reasons that they hate each other. But then when you really listen to them, the reasons for the hate are just so stupid. I don't know. This commercial really got me. It's a strong reminder that hate in our country continues to be out of control. So join us at iHeart in standing up to it. If you see hate, speak up. Call it out.
