Hey, any final thoughts on Bellichacker now? Can we move along? Do you agree with me when I say maybe it's just an.

old guy that's happy to feel young again. I know it's a pain in the ass. Yeah, but what are we supposed to do? Close our eyes and shut our ears and not notice the obvious that she's in everyone's face and stepping in the way and embarrassing the guy? I didn't even realize why I also brought it up was because more and more is coming out. And apparently UNC was so close. When the old guy embarrasses his young girlfriend or when the young girlfriend

embarrasses the old guy in national TV. Stop it. Anything else? I feel bad for the guy. I was saying there was one more layer. I forgot to even mention. UNC was about to be featured on Hard Knocks. And at the last minute, Jordan

apparently put a stop to it and said she was part of Belichick productions. And it was like, yeah, it's a no-go. So I don't know. Maybe we just are looking at it the wrong way. Listen, there's understandings in the world, right? You realize that, right? When you see some fat guy that owns a yacht and there's like hot girls dancing on it, Do we agree that that's an understanding?

When she takes him out to a club night with all her young friends, and she's like, this is my boyfriend. Or when she interrupts his interviews and the world's talking about it. What's more embarrassing is? I don't know who's not. Well, you know what? I have an update on that. How about when he says, Insta face?

What's more embarrassing? Anyway, I want you to think about it. Think about that, too. Do you agree with Rich? Should we all get off his wavos and let him be ham? Happy 87799 on Fox. While you think about it, let's get into Big Mike's Wednesday. Words of Wisdom.

Oh, man. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's Words of Wisdom on a Wednesday. Dating a stripper is like,

eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks down on you and disgust, but deep down inside, they want some too. Deep down inside, he might have a point. Okay, now the rules are simple. He read a meme, right? Hold on. The rules are simple.

If you could recite that word for word, the meme quoted him. The meme quoted Mike. Oh, okay. That's how it works. Good one, spot. If you could recite that word for word, you win yourself a swiggy.

So be dialing now. I need to hear it one more time. 87799 on 5. You're distracted by stripper? Yeah, I just heard stripper. I heard stripper. I just heard stripper. I just started picturing naked girls.

I'm not going to lie. Focus. Something about a bag of chips. Yeah. Dating a stripper ain't a bag of chips. And we're going to give our listeners five tries. So we're going to take five contestants. Oh, okay.

Oh, yeah. Please. All right. All right. One more time. Big Mike's words of wisdom. Take attention. Dating a stripper.

is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks down on you and disgust. But deep down inside, they want some too. Oh, man, that's a good one. Some wise words, too. What kind of chips? Wise. They're wise words.

Stop it. Wise potato chips. No, like that. So if you could get it, word for word, and it has to be word for word, you're taking home a swiggy with the swaggy, our stainless steel coveted prize, to CNR and FSR,

midnight black water bottle that everybody's talking about. 87799 on Fox, 87799 on Fox. And I'll wrap it up, Rich. I like your thought of leave Belichick alone. While we take the phone calls, yeah, while we take the phone calls

and get your contestants ready for Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. Leave Bennett alone. I feel it's one of those things where you lie in the bed you make, you know, there's plenty of cliches. You do it to yourself. his radio head said.

You do it to yourself. We're not coming at Belichick because we don't like the guy. He's giving us all this ammunition. He's the one putting her in everyone's face. It's a weird look. He's an established guy. And all of a sudden, it seems like she's overstepping like Halliburton's dad into his business.

He's hiring her for jobs. It's a little weird, dude. There's something a little weird. So you could be happy for the guy, but it's almost impossible to ignore how weird. I am not comparing this by any means to a big story in the 2000s. But do you guys remember a woman who you probably had to her VHS tape in college? Remember Adam Nicole Smith?

You better believe I do. And I did have her VHS in college. There was an old guy. I think he had billions and billions and billions. Jay Howard Marshall. I believe his name was, right? Mm-hmm. this guy

knew the deal you knew the deal billions and billions billions and billions I had billions and billions and billions but you know what he also had any family member

of friend that's like hey Jay Howard you know she's in it for the money you know what he probably thought I don't give a damn because those big jugs are in my face

I don't give a darn so why do we not understand that these people understand the scenario saying like she was kind of like those bag of chips at church all all i'm everybody secretly wants all i'm saying cove is that it's when when very when significantly older people date younger people you got to understand it's like uh i love that meme where it's a picture of a fat oily guy on a boat

with a skinny daughter and it's it the meme is twofold it's like show this to your sons like you can be a fat slub if you work hard enough you can get a hot girl and then it's for your daughters to be like, work hard so you're not that girl that has to end up with a fat oily guy. So I think with Bill Belichick, I'm not saying he's a fat oily guy, super successful, awesome dude. But maybe we should just take a step back and say, you know, he gets to hang around and feel young with a 20-something-year-old. Leave Billy alone. I don't know, man. That's a 49-year-old age difference.

Who cares if he's happy? I care. As a dad of a young man, of a young daughter. You know, I think that's a little odd. That's a little much. So I do think it's more weird than, hey, good for Bill. I know it's, I mean, I know it's a show, but it was a huge storyline on this season of the White Lotus. How I feel like half the cast was dating older guys.

And there's the women, the younger women, remember what's her name, Parker Posey? He was like, what are you seeing these guys? They're like old and creepy. And she's like, I love him. So I think there is, like, we're looking. Looking at it from an outside perspective looking in, I think there is some sort of either mutual respect, mutual care, mutual attraction. I'm not even saying there's not love involved. Rich insinuated us about the money.

It's very unfair to judge. I honestly think Anna Nicole Smith loved that old guy. I do too. I really believe that. Like you love a grandpa, happy? No, but I really do. I think, yeah. If you ever watch any documentary about her, she's a five-year plan.

Don't die. Dude, she's to cry about that dude all the time. Yeah, I think she cared about them. I do think Jordan Hudson's in it for the right reasons. I really do. but you can't expect the public to ignore it. You said that with a straight face?

Yeah, I believe that. I do. You think Jordan Hudson? Yeah. He's a powerful guy. Then again, I don't know her, but in it for the right reasons. Yeah, I do.

I think she really loves the guy. She might have been, you know, a lot of younger women always say like they're, you know, not disgusted, but like bored with guys their age because they're very immature. Like they don't have their stuff together. They're like little boys. Yeah.

And maybe Bill Belchick got gained. She was on this flight. She had probably struck up a conversation. He seemed very charming. No, no. They didn't want to talk about it, though. I know. We all know what happened.

He seemed very charming, very confident. You know, very, maybe he's very pleasant when he's not in the public. We don't talk about Bruno or how they meant. Signed her book, you know. And maybe she was like very charmed by it. Like, oh, this is someone who, you know. He's like a guy who can read. The part you never saw is he wrote.

He wrote, hey, it was great to meet you, Bill. And then he wrote, P.S. I'm horny. He got his number on there. He did. Allegedly. Allegedly. Well, anyway, guys, your thoughts? Because Rich is saying, hey, just leave him alone. Let him do his thing. Who cares?

Where's this flight? You're right. We don't want to be gossipy people, but. I can't control myself. It's hard to avoid. I can control my horny level. Yeah. And now we get to your phone calls.

Remember, whoever can recite word for word, Mike, who runs his place is Wednesday, Words of Wisdom. verbatim. Verbatim. Verbatim. You win yourself a Swiggy. Who we got, Danny Jay?

All right. We're going to take five contestants. Five tries here because remember last week, went forever. All right. Pat in Florida, you are up first. Wait for your music. Okay. All right.

All right, Pat. Try to win this Swiggy. Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks down on you in disgust. But deep down, they want. No. No. So close.

So close. He was on his way. So close. I thought he had it. Okay. That's like getting tackled at the three yard line. I really feel like Jordan Hudson's that noisy bag of chips, though. Everybody's judging it, but deep down, everyone's like good for Bill.

All right, gentlemen, look who is up next. Megan and Montana has returned. Meg. Hey, Meg. See what she's got. Hey, he. Oh, Mike. You're on.

Go ahead. Hey, hi. Dating a stripper is like eating a noisy bag of chips in church. Everyone looks down on you in disgust, but deep down inside, they want them too. Mike drop. Mike drop indeed. Second week is a charm for Meg. Congratulations.

Hang on hold, okay? Thanks, Meg. Thanks for playing. Wow. By the way. Thank you, Meg. Thank you, Mick. Hey, Kavino and Rich.

We play every Wednesday. Mike, who runs this place? Who? Gives us words of wisdom. And Mike, honestly, of all the people here at Fox Sports Radio, would you say when we first started here, Mike really did embrace us? And he's really a good dude.

I'm still trying to kiss his butt a little bit since I said he looked like an older Stone Cold. Never heard of him. And he's like, Stone Cold's older than me. Exactly. I felt bad about that. All right. So coming up, again, congrats to men.

She wins a swiggy. If you want to qualify for a swiggy, just follow, rate and review our podcast on Apple podcasts and leave a review. Say something nice. And if Danny G. emails you, you take one home, all right? So we appreciate you following us and playing along, but we got midweek major coming out. Yeah, I have another thought about the bell check to wrap it.

Okay. Not only leave him alone, because listen, it's none of our business. But you're right. When you're the winningest Super Bowl coach of all time and you're a notable guy and you date someone 50 years younger, people. are going to talk. Like, you got to understand that. Not trying to be gossipy. That's just the reality of it. Yeah, but you

as a fan, right, you also worry about his image and like his legacy a little bit. It's like, yeah, Bill, you're Bill Belichick. You weren't you the star of gossip guy? And again, it's his legacy. But is it there a part of you that's like, if that makes him

happy, and like I said, what if his theory is like, you know, that just makes me feel young and act young? Isn't that enough? It may be a But I was going to pose this question to you guys because it doesn't seem like a one-off because there was that video where he was caught leaving a college apartment with his shirt off via the ring. Do you remember that? Yes. Years ago.

So this doesn't seem to be like, hey, her and I just hit it off unless it was the same. I didn't think it was the same girl. I could be wrong. Yeah, no, you're right about that. And listen, I mean, we, I think there's a little bit of iffy timeline play. here, which is why they don't want to bring it up. Which is why they don't want to really dive into it. Meaning, like, I think Bill was still technically maybe with a woman he was dating when they met. And she may have been like a little bit too young.

No, not too young. I mean, like under, like to me, under 21 is a little bit. Well, don't say under age, but it's not under age. I know. It just has a feel. Just because it makes me feel young, it's okay. And also play at the, where are you going to play at the playground because it makes you feel young? Like, you got to have standards and values and border and boundaries.

You know, you have to have a little self-control. But when you get older, those boundaries mean nothing. That's not true. I'm not going to date someone younger than my daughter. When you're in your golden years. And you're not married and you're, let's say, your spouse passes away. And I guarantee, like, most people's, like, mindset changes on these things. Maybe you're right.

I'm not 74. I wish that upon no one. Did you guys ever, sorry, that was my, uh, coming in. It felt like you guys were transitioning, and you both looked down. and so I wanted to make sure that I got my point in. But it feels like if you ever dated somewhat in your younger days that was still in college, but you were out of it, you may have only been separated by a few years or maybe it's a college high school thing, but a young relationship.

But it's a world of difference from where you are in your life. No doubt. Of just that, like, short span. Even someone who's 17 in high school and 18 in college feels here. Yes. That's a big time. When I was in college, it's exponential growth at that time of your life. When I was in college, I was 20.

And I dated a girl, 18. My friends called her 18-year-old because she was a freshman. And they're like, two years? When you're that young, two years. It's huge. Dan, you make a great point, right? I was 20-something years old, like 23, 22 maybe. And I was dating a girl that was graduating from St. John's.

And I would go back to, like, her dorm room. You know what a tool bag I felt like? Yeah, exactly. And I was like in my early 20s. Yes. So when you put that in perspective, Dan really hits it on the head with that. I did it and I felt weird about it. And I was an early 20 year old something.

That's why this guy's 74 years old. Well, that's why I said at the time they're playing with the timeline. And I know you said she's of age, but it is that time if she were 20 years old, will it feel feels a little bit weird. Yeah. If you're not old enough to drink in your dating some in their 70s, that is much. You're a 70-year-old dating a college girl. Let's just say what it is.

I'm not saying he's a bad guy, but it is what it is. Can I play this little clip just? It's legal. Here's what he said. But he just, he doesn't care. Everybody in the world seems to be following this relationship. They've got an opinion about your private life. It's got nothing to do with them, but they're invested in it.

How do you deal with that? I've never been too worried about what everybody else thinks. Just try to do what I feel like is best for me and what's right. Yeah. Not talking about that. I like his attitude. about it. But again, we bring this up because Rich is saying today, because people

are still talking about. Rich is saying, get off the way of us. Let him be happy. Well, according to a page six article, we love page six. Bill Pelichick's friends are, quote, shaking their heads at the football coach's relationship, especially after the interview. They are talking to him, but very gently because they know how deep in he is.

They're claiming that Hudson They're sleeping with old ladies. They're claiming that Hudson saw an opening and took the opportunity to wiggle her way into the football coach's life and career. This guy is known as being such a strong voice in many ways autocratic and he is becoming mush in her hands and letting her direct everything. Good.

Who cares? Mush. Let him be. And by the way, the football program cares. The more I'm thinking, you know what? If you were paying this guy millions of dollars. We have to CC her on everything. I'm sorry, what?

Guess who cares about UNC football for the first time in their lives? Like, everyone. Dan Byr brings up the great point about how. age seems so different. I dated someone in college looking back, it feels so inappropriate. And I'm on the receiving end of this one, by the way, just for the record. I was 20, and I had started working at a radio station. And Danny, I started sleeping with an older woman that worked at the radio station.

Oh, my. She was 26, and I was 20. Looking back, I'm like, what was she think? I remember going to her apartment and being like, oh, she has candles and curtains and furniture. She's so old. Grown. But look, I know. She's a woman.

She bought me and my friend's beer. I'm just a little one boy. And looking back now, really freaking weird of her to want a day to 20 year old. Super weird. The buying beer part is really. Right?

That's where that year or so makes a huge difference. That's what I'm trying to say. I remember being like, hey, you're also the guy defending Bill Belichick. Before you drop me off, can you pick up my friend some Zimas?

Anyway, hey, good luck to Bill Belich. James, please. She has silverware. It's so funny. Can you get me some... She has curtains. Can you order me some Yeager bombs before you go? So, listen, we're going to play...

I'm not playing. We're going to go over midweek major. Spots got a ton of fun stories lined up. So whatever's going on in the world of sports and entertainment, we tackle it. We get into it next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Got to talk about Travis Matthew. Something I'm really passionate about, but Danny G must roll his eyes. Like, man, I was telling you about Travis Matthew for years.

And now we're swagger jacking as it's called because we're all on it. Danny G. was first on it. And if you've golfed, you've known about it for a long time. I heard you could be 73 or 20-something and love Travis Matthew. Oh, it's true. And by the way, once you get on the Travis Matthew awareness and you start wearing some of the gear, you notice it everywhere. It really is.

It's like, you know, when you get a car and then you notice other people have that car. Since we started, you know, having this great relationship with Travis Matthew, I see like dads at the Little League field parents at school drop off. I'm like, oh, Travis Matthew. And you know what? You know that person is into quality. That's what I think. When I see it, I'm like, yeah, this guy knows what's up. The T-shirts, my goodness. So comfortable. The button-ups.

Button-up your look. Effortless style wherever you land. The jeans. See these jeans? I don't want to take them off, but I will for the shorts because they got shorts for your summer, man. You get to see Kavino who's got white boy legs even though he's Vato. Yeah, you can see my tanless legs. Your fluorescent legs.

Take goodbye to stiff boxy shorts and hello to that modern upgrade. That's right. Designed for movement, streamline fit. All the right fits, Ed, Travis Matthew.

We have some big news.

What's the news, huge news? We created our own podcast called, Hey, Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. but this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad Hey Jonas and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast,

I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchen won. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any surface.

Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect.

We were God's chosen kingdom on earth. He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levin this went to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history.

You need to tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Belichick Radiohead style did it to himself, as the song just says, a Radiohead classic. And by the way, if you watched Black Mirror with the thronglets, there was a scene that's reminiscent to a scene in this video. And it was homage. Whoever directed that thronglet's Black Mirror video,

was a big radio head fan, and you'll see the parallels. If you know what I'm talking about, high five to you. If you don't watch some Black Mirror when you're done with the you finale. Oh, yeah. You has been good so far. I will say. I'm only up to... So Goldberg, bro.

But you're missing out on the best show streaming right now because you're overpromised with Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube. The second best show. Oh, what? Because you're so cheap that you won't spring for Apple TV. You're friends and neighbors with John Hamm. best show. By far, not even closer. I don't like my friends. I don't like my

neighbors. I don't think I'll like the show. I think you will love it. Well, if we're a Coldstone Creamery, I think you would like it, love it, and got to have it. I like Olivia Munn.

Well, Bill today has fired back defending his girlfriend's behavior, of course, he is saying he only agreed to the interview under the premise.

Hate me because you ain't me. The questions would solely pertain to his new book, The Art of Winning Lessons from My Life in Football. Belichick apparently reiterated with the interviewer and producers that he wanted to focus solely on the book. And Jordan only jumped in after they repeatedly ignored his request. He said the final eight-minute segment doesn't reflect how good the 35-minute conversation was. CBS has since fired back and responded

saying there were no preconditions or limitations on topics they could talk about during the conversation and confirmed repeatedly with the publisher before the interview took place. So who knows who's right here midweek or major? Major. And I can't wait to see the rest of the footage. Since

CBS now knows there's so much interest and intrigue and he's saying oh, this is all I. let's see it we're gonna and I can't wait and look we got to get to a point where we have to stop making exceptions for celebrities and superstars are rich people what's creepy is creepy would you be okay if your grandpa was dating a 24 year old to you're back to this creepy no because I do live by the rule of half your age plus seven doesn't that apply for everybody why doesn't it apply for rich people get out of here with that we're normalizing this weird

behavior man I think it's a major story Definitely major. Only because we've been there, done that, not with Belichick, but when you do interviews with big stars, sometimes there are, quote, pre-interview limitations. There were none here. So CBS did nothing wrong. And I guarantee you the network's not going to say that if that wasn't the case.

So I think they were just hoping maybe they didn't talk about that stuff. And then maybe they got a little feisty. I don't know. I can't wait to see the rest of it because I think we're going to. All right. talked about the prank phone call with Shudor Sanders well after the fines have dropped the one infamous prankster you mentioned it

the creator of the jerky boys Johnny Fred and the infamous pranksters would make phone calls. Oh, uh, old chiselchest? Old chisel chest said while it's not a big deal, it was something they would not have done because the calls they made were never mean-spirited. They said that the call made to Sanders was mean-spirited. He said while

the outrage is a little unwarranted and worked out in the end for Sanders, it's still something they would have never touched. By the way, apparently, Shador wasn't the only one who received a prank call. Abdul Carter, who was drafted by the Giants, said that he also received a call ahead of his draft pick from someone claiming to be from the Jags. No word on the, this is from the same source. But he and his agent Drew Rosenhaus had shut it down at the moment knowing it was fake. So midweeker major.

This is another major story. The jerky boys. I haven't heard about them in 30 years. So even if they, I think this solidifies our thought already. It was mean-spirited. They wouldn't have crossed these lines. They did it in fun. A prank is supposed to be, or as your parents would say, a crank call, is supposed to be fun.

There's nothing funny about that. It was just mean and upsetting. I agree. Pranks. Mean-spirited is what you lose me. But, hey, listen, I feel like everyone's going to learn a lesson here. And I do think it's funny that the jerky boys. Because who didn't have that tape growing up?

Of course. Everybody did. Remember radio days morning shows, like prank phone calls are all the rage? I love that stuff. But yeah, this was too. being spirited. All right. By now you've heard that the Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gigi a mural was vandalized here in L.A. earlier this week. Who would do that? It's disgusting. It's gross. The mural featured an image of Kobe embracing Gigi honoring the father-daughter

relationship after their death in 2020. Afterwards, a GoFundMe was set up in order to repair the art seeking a goal of $5,000 where after like a couple small donations, none other than Luca Donchukes stepped in and paid off the entire amount, you know, solidifying his place here in L.A. He commented on the donation after the game this week, saying they gave me so much, gave me so much, I just want to give back. Luca himself was actually the subject of a mural that was nearby this,

this mural following his trade, which featured Luca and Kobe shaking hands after Kobe had attended a Mab's game just before his death. So hopefully the art will be fixed very soon, midweek or major. Major on every level. I think it's so gross that the street artists, you know, that's why it happened.

You said who would do that? There was, it's like a beef, right? It was a tag artist's beef. Let's be clear, too. There's difference between graffiti and tagging. It was like street war beef where idiots were tagging over it,

and that's really what happened. So they started tagging over the mural, a beautiful mural over, you know, Kobe and his daughter vandalized. I think it's a solid, solid move. And a genuine one. It's not just, hey, I'm trying to gain some fans here. I think they had a true respect for one another,

and it's a solid move by Luca. Yeah, no doubt. In fact, I like that he didn't go anonymous with it, because there are times that there's a whole Kirby or enthusiasm episode about making an anonymous donation, everyone wants a little credit. And you know what, it is good for Luca to get that credit. And speaking of which, I think it is major, though.

I think it's major. You know, it's also major on the Lakers' tip. If you don't mind me adding something, Danny hit us up with this. Go for it. There's a fan that must know something we don't. don't know. Bet $25,000 at Caesar Sportsbook in Vegas, $25,000 to win $650,000 on the Lakers to win the NBA finals. Oh, not just tonight. No, all the way. Yeah, you have to go all the way. So that's major.

This guy is a New York resident. He must have Biff Sports Almanac. I don't know. Hey, man. I wish him the best of luck. It's going to be tough. All right. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred, also the lead tinger of Manford, man. Is that correct? Yes. All right. Discussed. By the light, yeah. Right, yeah. Discussed how President Trump is continuing his crusade to reverse the permanent ban on Pete Rose, paving his way possibly for entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Earlier this week, Manfred said that he met with the president two weeks ago to discuss several issues affecting the league, not only how immigration policies could affect some of the players, but also the petition that was filed for Rose to be posthumously removed from the eligible list. Didn't dive into too much detail about the negotiation. If you recall back in February after Rose's death, Trump had posted on his social media platform truth saying that he plans to issue a complete pardon of Pete Rose

following, you know, making sure he gets into Cooperstown. So we'll see if that happens midweek or major. Man, I'm confused by the story, but I'll go major because the commissioner of baseball talked to the president about Pete Rose. No, no, no, no. I'm confused because baseball has always been independent of what the Baseball Hall of Fame does. Manford has said many a times, look,

if the Baseball Hall of Fame wants to let him in to the Hall of Fame, that has nothing to do with us. So them meeting really does nothing for me or to solve that issue. Trump needs to meet with whoever's running the Baseball Hall of Fame. I think this is mid. I'll tell you why. That's so mid. Because, again, like Camino said, Hall fame and baseball is separate.

But I do think it's funny how President Trump, And you can say this is a good or bad quality. That's up for you to decide. I think it's funny how Donald Trump thinks because he's president, he has like a finger in every pie. Unlimited authority. Unlimited authority. Like, I'm the president.

Like, him having a conversation about Pete Rose? What does that have to do with the price of bananas? As they say, like, I don't get it. He liked Pete Rose? It's like immigration and Pete Rose. I don't know. He makes decisions here at Fox Sports Radio. Is that true?

Like, if Pete Rose was like, I like him in under it. If Donald Trump said he liked us, Like, does he going to call Scott Shapiro? I want him to be on in the mornings. I don't get it. The end. And you guys know what Trump says about sports and baseball in particular. It's called sports.

It's called baseball in particular. That's true. Shohei Otani. So I don't understand what resolution are coming to. Manford can't get him into the hall. Well, hold on. Correction. Shohei Otani.

If you believe that the baseball Hall of Fame is simply going on the side that, well, he's banned from baseball, then I guess it does make sense. That's major, man. Pete Rose should have been in the hall of the game. All slip in one more quickie. Netflix says it, if you love juicy documentaries, Netflix has announced a new documentary,

which will cover the downfall of none other than NFL legend, Brett Farve. Untold the fall of Farb, Tuesday, May 20th on Netflix. It will dig into Farve's controversial career, the dark side of sports stardom, and the scandals that marred his legacy

from, of course, sending inappropriate texts, while as he was with the Jets to the misappropriation of the Mississippi Welfare Fund. So we'll get a little bit more detail into what's going on behind the scenes here, midweek or major. I don't know if it's because we're kind of close to the story. I'll let Rich explain that. I'll pass on that,

but I'll say major. Yeah, because Brett Farv is a legendary guy and we all know the missteps he's had. And for some reason, people want to forget about it. And this documentary is saying, Hey, we want to remind you. And I think that's a major story because this totally is going to affect his legacy.

I think this is major. Definitely major. And I think we are going to come out of this. Years later being like, wow, what a piece of trash Brett Farv is. I think we're between the Mississippi money scandal, between the stuff with the jets and the nudie picks and everything. We are going to come out of this. And we're going to be like, wow, we idolize this guy at one point? He's trash.

Wow. Trash. Fred Farr is trash. I bet you, this can't be good for Wranglers. Wrangler jeans backing out as we speak. Copper fit. Or copper fit socks. Let's go to Dan Byer for an update.

Thank you, Sputty Boy. Yes, sir.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes.

I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast. people could call in and say, hey Jonas, and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happens. happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jen she went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Old school and 50 hits, we throw it back, we reminisce, we get you involved. Now, as we all go home tonight, and we all figure out, yeah, what are we going to watch?

You on Netflix? We're going to watch your friends and neighbors. I'm going to watch that. Smashing Machine trailer that everybody's. talking about the Mike Kerr UFC rock trailer looks good yeah everybody's talking about that I think uh everybody's talking about that and how many

gorillas can you beat up I think Lakers and the the T-wolves as Moncy would say as they see Moncey in the background how many guerrillas does it take to beat up a hundred Steve Covino's I think that's the debate

that the world's going crazy with I got to ask how do you assess the 20 2024-25 Lakers season if it ends tonight. It can't. It can't end tonight. In fact, I don't think it's going to end tonight. All-American rejects. No, it's going to end eventually, but not tonight.

And I'm pulling for you, Danny G. I'm pulling for the Lakers. Hey, listen, three-in-row versus T-Walls is not like crazy. You were not asking them to beat the, you know, they went three-no-round against the Warriors and the Warriors were 73 and nine. Yeah, you know. I'm not so worried about tonight as much as I am traveling. back to Minnesota because the Lakers have not played well in Minnesota all year. But rest of LeBron accordingly? Like what have you learned from the past few games, right?

Well, and all season long, we've talked about their lack of size. They obviously have a ton of scoring. But, you know, Luca's not much of a defender. LeBron, that's his forte right now, which is kind of crazy, right? In that fourth quarter, he was great on the defensive side of the ball, not so much offensively. But the big question mark here is, do they have anybody off the bench they can get in there. Jackson Hayes, who came on and had a nice second half after the AD trade, he's got an injured hand right now. That's why you haven't

seen a lot of them. There was a report from your boy, McMinimum. McMinnaman. Mcminam. Dave McInnimin. Maxi Kleber. He was a throwin in that trade. And he's been injured since January. He's been upgraded to questionable.

So the Lakers may make him available as they need some size on the floor. They got game. five tonight out here in LA and then I believe is it Friday night a possible game six and then NBA is 2-2-1-1-1

so then they come back to LA for game seven so Danny your your big concern would be not tonight because if the Lakers lose tonight 4-1 then it wasn't meant to be but the big game would be all eyes on Friday night could the Lakers win tonight then go on the road and force

the game 7 back here in Los Angeles that's really what it comes down to and if not we could be seeing a superstar, a guy who says he doesn't want to be the face of the league, become the face of the league in Anthony Edwards, the son of Michael Jordan, because if he takes out Luca and LeBron and the Lakers,

and then has the chance to take out the Warriors, this guy is setting up for a legendary run. All L.A. teams need to make a comeback right now. The Lakers down three to one of the wolves, Kings down three to two to the Oilers and hockey, clippers down three to two to the Nuggets. So that theme in L.A. right now is restore murals and come back. Wait, hold on.

The Clippers still have a team? How dare you? Kidding. Hi, Moncy. Moncy's here getting ready. So, hey, enjoy your games tonight. Timber Waves, speaking of Moncey, at the Lakers and Warriors Rockets. You're going to let them treat you like this, Monty?

No, she's putting their headphones on now. She goes the last 30 seconds to the show. You guys are so rude. Love you. I love it. But I love it. No, it's okay. Hi, guys.

Happy Wednesday. Are you reading for the fun of it? The Lakers winning tonight? Or you just like, get him out of here? For the fun of it? For the fun of it, yeah. Let the Lakers win. Let them tire themselves out for the next series.

Just like the Clippers are doing. Perfect. Hey, have a great show. We'll see you guys tomorrow. If you miss anything at Covino-Ritch, until then. Arriva Darci, baby. See you in the Promised Land. Goodbye, guys.

Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own. podcast called Hey Jonas.
