This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. 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.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.

you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an a cappella band with their between songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes.

I'm Michelle McPhee, and I've been unraveling the strangest criminal alliance I've ever reported on, a Mormon polygamist and an Armenian businessman. Multi-million dollar house, Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, a billion dollar fraud. But how long can this alliance last? Tell me what you know. Is somebody coming after me? Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Last night, a blown call changed a game.

All right, CNR on FSR, this hour, midweek major. But, yeah, we got some Devin Williams to talk about. We got some splating to do. But first, we'd be rocking out.

And I got a question for everyone in the room, just a little quick icebreaker before we move into your Yankee thought. Everyone here have siblings or do we have any only children? Monsie, you got siblings? Yes, I got two older brothers. Danny G. Siblings. Samuel?

One sister. Without getting too personal, when was the last time you talked to your siblings? When was the last time you texted or called one of your brothers, Moncee? Within 48 hours. Okay. Covino? All the time. Family chat?

Yeah, I got, there's five of us. Exactly. I have a chat with them. Today, family chat. Family chat. We have a family group chat, talked with some of them yesterday. We have a group chat called the COVID-Iates. Only when they need something for me, but yeah.

So what was the last time you talked to your brother James? Probably this week. About a couple days ago. It's nice. Reach out to your siblings. I say this because the Kelsey brothers said before they did their podcast, they would go months without any communication.

Wow. It's easy because, listen, I live in L.A. My brother lives in Maryland. My sister is a month? Nah. Months is a lot. Texting and social media. There's no excuse to not shoot your brother a text.

Or just start a podcast with your brother. I've talked. I've talked to my husband. I talk to my sister You know, like at least once a week or so Just to be like, hey, what's up? How's your kid? How's everything?

My brother, though, sometimes life's busy. We could go a month without talking. Busy. Dude, you're on the bowl doing the scroll. You can't shoot somebody a text message. My brother is one of those guys. We all have one of these friends or family members That turns their phone off?

You know, that person? Who turns their phone off? I know. They aspire to be that. My phone. 85-year-old people who think you still have to. My phone's not near me. I think my brother's that guy.

You know when someone's got like a wife that controls them? I think my brother puts down his phone when he gets home and is not allowed to touch it. It's possible. But hey, just to point it out, say hi to your brothers and sisters, your siblings. Because now I look at my kids and I'm like, and I hope they get along when they're older. Yeah. But the Kelsey Bros, who are the most famous brothers, let's be honest, in the world right now, said before their popularity of new hiatus and before they were working together. Before them, it was Ozzie and Jose Konseko, right?

That was Billy and Cal Ripkin. And his baseball bat that said, FAAS. How could I forget? No, it was your favorite brothers. Oh, Danny DeVito and Arnold. Yeah. And way back in the day, the NECRO brothers.

Yeah, that's true. They were 185 still pitching in the big leagues. Yeah, I was going to say, when you were talking about old players that could still do it, they did. They could probably still do it somehow. So anyway, say hello to your siblings. That was a random thought. Only because everyone's thinking about Valentine's Day,

but I saw that headline. I'm like, you know what? I guess people get busy. but when you see your kids, if you're a parent and you see your kids. They don't, Rich, as the great Pee-wee-Herman said. And I quote, I know you are, but what am I? Busy doing what?

He's taking his bath. Really? Really? Your brother's so busy, dude. I will call him. Everybody's busy. The first ring goes right to voice mail. The first ring goes right to voice mail.

Does not mean they're rejecting you? It's like the phone's off. Like, what do you? No, that was a rejection. Who was off, it would go straight to voice mail. I think a lot of times it just go straight tail. There you go. And you text them, it has that, you know when someone is like they have their phone on silent?

Do not disturb. Yeah, I have my phone on. Not disturb a lot. I think the reminder here is it takes zero effort. Right. To reach out through social media, like someone's post, or send somebody a text, period. And that Kelsey story is odd to me. That's really odd.

They were both because they're so, they seem so close. Now, now you're right. But again, they said, not only did Travis Kelsey, as Moncey said in the update, not only months. Not only is he saying he's going to put a timeout on discussing his future. They talked about how months would go by and they wouldn't talk. That's weird. And now they make millions together.

So back to the story of today. Pitchers and Catchers report. Devin Williams of the Yankees, former Brewer now Yankee, had to shave because that's the policy. We all know that because it's been questions so often. Like what an outdated policy? Some players, they reluctantly shave their beard. They don't want to do it, but they do. But you could also leave the mustache, remember?

I feel like you and I talk about this more than any other sports TV or radio show in the nation. But this Yankee facial hair policy, I think, is one of the more outdated team-specific rules possible. Okay. Where do the Yankees paying Devin Williams? $8.6 million a year. $8.6 million a year, but an elite closer type. an elite closer with high expectations, right? He will be a big asset to your bullpen for sure.

That's the goal here. That's the point. That's the investment. That's why they got them. And what does a closer need more than most positions, to be honest? Confidence, intimidation factor, all those things. So this is why this proves that change starts with one person. I believe Devin Williams to be that one person.

There's been a lot of people along the way from your Giombies to your Johnny Damon's. It's going to be him because you can't have that weenie-looking guy. on the mound late in the innings with the lack of confidence because he doesn't have his beard. Honestly, I'm like, if you're going to invest $8.6 million in this guy a year and you want him to do his job,

let him feel as confident as possible. It doesn't make any sense to me. So at this point, if you're really serious about winning, and that's what this guy's saying, I'm not saying this, guys. Devin Williams says he's most confident with his beard. He feels like a little baby boy at a place without the beard.

Let him be him. I know that sounds, stupid and why he's all his confidence in his beard anyway. If that makes him feel cooler, it's like when Andy Petter would pull his hat down. You put that intimidation factor on. The great Dave Stewart did that. Dave Stewart was known for that. Let the dude do his thing.

Let him be confident. Let him be lights out. You got to let him grow his beard back. He looks so. If you were facing him, would you want to face that little baby boy or the guy with the beard? Here, see the pictures. And this is years ago, the Photoshop's. And the actual real pictures of James Hardin and then James Soften.

Yeah. You don't want to play. James Hardin? You want to play James Soften. Yeah, you'll whip James Soften's ass. James Soften's not intimidating. Now, the crazy part about this is that Kavino came to work today with a parody he found some little fun video on social media. Well, the premise is this, based on the beard, right? Because you see what a difference it makes. This guy's face was shortened like a good three to four inches. Not that he's not handsome. He still looks handsome. He just looks like a little baby boy and the whole shape of his face is different.

This goes back to a Jim Gaffigan joke where he says that the poor man's facelift is growing the beard. The beard is the poor man's facelift. It really is because it makes you wonder what's going on under there. Danny, I've known you three plus years now here at Fox 430. Three and a half years. Danny doesn't even know what's going on under there. Do you even know what's going on under there? I have pictures from high school.

But Danny, since I've known you, Danny, you have a while ago. Since I've known you, Danny, you have a beard and a mustache. Spot two. Spot beard. Oh, I was spot shaved his beard off like last year or something. And I was like, you look different, man. Yeah, but he didn't shave shave. I haven't completely shaved in a while.

Razor to skin. Yeah, he went like full scruff. So he didn't shave shave. Even that like altered my perception of spot. But this poses a question too. So this isn't just about the Yankees and one man making the change because that's just my theory. And I think that's your hope as a fan. You want your players on your team to feel as confident as possible, right?

but you as a person also want to feel as confident as possible when you're making these choices about your facial hair and how you look so as we approach the day of love and everyone wants to put their best foot forward we have a question for you well you want people to feel comfortable i mean i think the tech world made a big step in the right direction with this think of all those like you know silicon valley type of folks where you know business casual became more of a thing it's like hey we're guys just making apps on a computer what would why are we wearing suits and it became Like, you know, you would dress like one of these rich tech guys.

Like you're on Wall Street or something. There's even some old school churches who have recently gone away from. You have to have clean, cut look at church and allow beards now. That's weak. You know why I think. For the Yankees to still be doing this is real old school. It's real old school. And, you know, some guys have negative chin.

You know, some guys, they don't know. They can't fold towels, you know, because they're missing a chin. It's a depth perception issue. So they grow a beard and it works for them. and it gives them a swag and a springing their step and some confidence. They should at least meet the players in the middle. Like, okay, you can have a beard, but it needs to be trimmed and well-cast. You have a neck beard.

That way you don't, I get it. You don't want to look like a caveman. You don't want to be unprofessional. But let the guys still have their own personality. Without a doubt. Especially if you let a mustache happen. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You do let facial hair happen, but just not a beard.

Yeah, I don't get that. There should be a compromise where it's like, it's just got a little. look groomed. You can't look like Kevin Malar of the Red Sox and the... And if you don't have a good beard, you can't do it. Who is the dude? Black Blackman. You know... Who's the guy in the Phillies who's got that Jason Worth? The Marsh. No, Brandon Marsh.

He looks like a Marsh guy from the Marsh. Yeah. So you can't look like someone from Duck Dynasty but you could find something in between, right? Especially, let's be honest, a lot of these Latino players are as groomed as could be. They got the barber on standby every day their fate is tight. Do you tell him

that guy? He can't have the big poppy precision beard. Yeah, you're taking away their, in a way, their confidence, right? In a way. So the question to the everyday fellow, though, as we get older,

you're really faced with a decision. Hilarious to me. And the question is, do you shave and look younger and worse? Or do you let the beard grow in and look older and better? Let me say it one more time. Do you look younger and worse, younger and worse or older and better.

Do you want to look younger and worse? I love this. That's got the hearse or younger and factor. It's kind of a curse. Yep. The former or latter. But you have got to make this choice. What's your choice?

What are you doing? Do you want to look younger and worse? I don't know. Do you want to look younger and worse? Yes. Do you want to look younger and worse? Devin Williams. Do you want to look younger and worse?

Kind of like 6'1 half. Do you want to look younger and worse? Or older and better. We only played that so that it's now stuck in your head for the rest of the day. It's catchy. What am I listening to? Some of you have some TikTok Instagram. That's my guy.

It's not just some guy. You got to give him credit to play a song. It's Jesse Blockton, right, on social media. So props to him. Jesse Blockton. He's an older fella. It looks like Mandy Patankin, actually, right? And it's the question of, do you want to look younger and worse, meaning shave your beard?

Shows himself clean shave. You look younger, but you look worse, right? Because you've got all this fat face. You got a blob of flesh. Yeah, you look two-dimensional. Pale and bloated. Devin Williams looks like Mac and me with a shaved beard. Or older and better, you know, you grow that beard back.

You look older. Distinguished. And older's not necessarily good, but you do look better for whatever reason. You might have some gray in there. She's like a fine wine. He looked like a professor though. Yeah, because sometimes older is kind of bad, but it is better. Like imagine Draymond Green without the beard, right?

So does he shave and look younger and worse because he's still going to look old but shaved and chubby probably? Or older with the beard and the gray, but still he looks better for some reason. It's a weird choice that guys have to make. I picture LeBron James, right? He's got a little gray coming in. but LeBron with the beard, probably more handsome look, but he looks older. If LeBron went clean-shaven, he'd probably look 30-something. You know what happens?

But he would look like, he would look lame. Let me put it in Steve Kavino terms for you. Monce, you're looking right at me. If I shave my face clean-shaven, right, I got this big fat face and two chins coming out, right? He looks like Ernie. And then the scruff starts to grow in and it looks a little grayish. So I look younger and worse. Or I have the scruff going on.

It makes me look a little older, but better. It gives your face definition. Ah, so it's the choice that we all are at. And I think Devin Williams is making a poor, poor choice right now. And unfortunately, it's not his decision. He looks younger and worse. Truthfully, right now, right now, my stubble is a little too thin. I feel like I'm right now on the border of looking younger and worse.

I feel like we're about to do aerobics. That's not late 90s, early 2000s. And one, and two, and three, and four. And one more time. And one more time. Like a commercial or something. No, but it is. It's a question, man.

It really sucks. And I feel bad for Devin Williams. But the point is, well, what choice would you make, guys? As Black Sheep said, the choice is yours. But for Devin Williams, it's not. The Yankees are making him do this. And he lost all his swag, his confidence and his intimidation factor, which I think is necessary for the Yankees' closer at this point.

I feel like we say this every time the Yankees. think he's a choir a new player. Yeah, but this is very specific. When are they going to give it up? Very specific. Every time. The closer position comes with an intimidation factor, right? Think of the Mets.

They got all this spectacle. They have horn sections. The lights go out. You got this dude coming out with his, like, baby boy dough with his stupid face now. No one cares about that. He has to grow up. Meal. He's going to come out to like the bubble guppy's name or something.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, he comes back to, uh, what's that? What's that? It's time for lunch. Wonder pets. That is the lamest look. Wonder pets. Do you want to look younger or worse or older than better?

That's the question for you to make or for you to answer Fox Sports Nation. 87799 on Fox. From the women I've asked, I've heard a lot of answers. And Monsey, I don't know if you agree with this, a lot of women are answering, they rather their dude look a little older and better. Absolutely. A lot of women. Can I can't make me?

Absolutely. Most women don't want. Most women don't want their grown man with the clean-shaven look. Can I give a tip to the Fox Sports Radio Nation? My girlfriend doesn't like the facial hair. That's why I was rocking clean-shaven for a while, right? But then I realized this is what every guy needs to know. They're trying to take you out of the game.

She really likes puffy faces. Yeah, that puffy face, she's trying to take you out of the game. Well, like there's guys who do have a clean-shaven face like Don, Don, Draper, John Hamm. That works for him. That works really well. You know what? You think everybody that's like John Ham? No, but with a beard, I don't even know what he'd look like.

He probably doesn't have a good beard. That's another thing. If you don't have a good beard, don't have a beard. Keanu can barely grow the beard in, but people like it. Let me give you a- I mean, it's Keanu. Yeah, it's not that we like the beard. John Ham is one of those handsome guys out there.

Yeah, bad example. I'll give you a handsome guy with a beard and tell me if you think he would be as cool without. Nigan. from the Walking Dead, Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Oh. That guy with the beard looks like. You mean Javier Bardem? Yeah, because I've seen him.

I've seen Javier Bardem. I've seen the same guy? Not the same guy. Not the same guy. Look at Kendrick Perkins right. Kendrick Perkins right now. Take that beard off. Take that beard off.

He's the biggest weenie and I don't care what he says. There's just void space under his chin. You can't even see. Yeah, what's going on under there? Kendrick Perkins. No, but yeah, he would not be intimidating without that beard. He looked like the dude from the office. Yeah.

He would look like that. Stanley? Yeah. He looks like Carl Winslow without that beard. With the beard, I'm like, ooh. Stop it. So, do you want to look younger and worse or older and better? Older and better.

Did I do that? Urkel. All right, Kurt in Pennsylvania. What's up, buddy? Hey, what's going on, guys? I love your show. Thanks, man. Thank you, man.

You can be singing that song all night, by the way. Do you want to look younger? Stop. All right. All right. All right. Make it stop. So I'm just really surprised you guys

haven't played the Simpson baseball episode clip of Maddingley's savior of sideburns yet. It's a classic. I do know it, man. But look, I get it. There was a time and a place. It's a different world now. The world has changed a lot, man.

Like a lot since Don Mattingly in the 80s. Maddingly, gives me to those sideburns. Thank you, Ryan Bursinger for rolling that in. That was very timely. It's so great. But you also have to be a lot of, to realize too that man it's 2025 you can't expect these especially rich already said it these young latin players these dominican dudes to shave and you want them to play for your team i know that sounds

like petty and ridiculous when you're paying the millions of dollars but i can make millions of dollars somewhere else where i don't have to like look like a mutant just to play on your team and can i you know who said that alks rodugo said that recently too he's like yo i'll go play for another team I could be myself. Now, I get it. Making millions of dollars is a priority for a young man. But take yourself out of the bullpen for a second. Take yourself out of the bullpen.

I don't know if Devin Williams is married or single, whatever the case may be. Let's find out. But you think, thank you, Monsey. Do you think Devin Williams wants to go out on the town with his boys if he's single or trying to meet women? What do you think his wife? If he's married, do you think that's the look he would choose? Clearly not. Yeah, he had a girlfriend.

until she saw his face today. Yeah. I have a question. So tattoos are allowed, right? Yeah. What if you got a beard tattoo? I don't know. I was wondering that.

Or dried on? Like just to spite them, I'm going to dry it on every day. It's just such a day you do it like a henna beard. A henna beard? Yeah. People get tattoos of a hairline. Honestly, this is my prediction. It's going to be such a thing because the picture's surfaced today and everyone's going to be making fun of them.

And he already stated that he's more confident with his beard. It's going to come down to a. compromise, like Danny G said. That's my prediction. You heard it here on Fox Sports Radio. The Yankees will eventually allow a maintained scruff, a maintained beard moving forward. That's my guess after this. I have a question. Something like that, it sounds so ridiculous, but would that be in a press conference? Yeah, probably. I mean, like, how ridiculous does that sound? But after, you know, 100 plus years of Yankee legacy,

will there have to be some type of house time runner coming for and be like, I've a major announcements to make for the Yankees after, you know, after a hundred-something years of this organization. Yeah, because like it's an old organization. So there's old rules and traditions, right? So, yeah, this one needs to be updated. That's all simple as that. What do you say all the time, Rich?

I'll give you credit. Sometimes tradition is making the same mistake over and over and over again. I think it's ridiculous. The Yankees, it's not the time of Babe Ruth anymore. There's two things the Yankees need to adjust. One of them is the facial hair stuff because it's lame. And secondly, I love it because I do admire the history of the pinstripes and everything. But the fact that the Yankees won't do a City Connect jersey or anything.

Yeah. It's like, come on. It's like, come on. It's time to be fun. Yeah, give us some options to his fans. And clearly this tradition isn't making you that great. Right, right. At one point, maybe it did, right? Maybe it did.

Maybe it did. But now it's not. Devin Williams does have a girlfriend and it's funny that we're talking about his beard. Sportskeeta has a whole story. Maggie Bad Dog. I'm gonna guess, and they've been together since 2015, 2016, and there's a picture of them from 2015, 2016, and he has no beard.

Oh, interesting. Yeah, and it's his profile, and he looks like a baby. But that was 10 years ago. Now he's a man. He's a man. Well, my wife has said to me, like, distressed, never to get clean-shaven because I look like a, you know, a Drake. I look like, I look like a, I look like a, yeah, I look like a creep.

A creep. Allegedly. All right. So that's the update. Allegedly, sorry. On Devin Williams. Again, pitchers and catchers, the positive is here is that, hey, baseball is underway. So I'm excited about that. And to piggyback that point about the City Connect jerseys, a lot of sweet spring training uniforms I'm seeing on a lot of teams. So, hey, listen, baseball's trying their best to do everything to connect to the fans. And I think a lot of teams debuting some sweet new alternate jerseys and spring training gear. So, hey, gear up.

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 was... 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, where 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. Another podcast from some SNL, late night comedy guy, not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smigel and friends.

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 Levan 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 me.

Others say it's unleashing human potential.

Either way, the podcast's Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Every girl is crazy about a sharp-dressed man with a sweet, maintained beard, not like the dudes from Zizi Top. But there is a compromise, and I think that's the future of the Yankees.

And like Danny G said, before we move on, you know how much added swag the Yankees would have if they came in rocking their own little style of facial hair that they would normally have every day? I think we're going to see it thanks to Devin Williams. If not, let it start here on Fox Sports Radio. Let it hit the press. Hit the press. Kavino said so. And Rich. Now, look at the clock. It's midweek. It's time.

Kavino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week with Midweek Major. Ooh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas, and it's like the kids say. That's so mid-week, definitely major.

CNR scoring, midweek major. Oh, yeah. Are you guys ready? Yeah, does everybody know? When I say eight, y'all say minutes, eight minutes, eight minutes. Eight minutes. We're about to give Spotty at eight full minutes. Wow, that's like a whole segment.

When you hear the horns, you know you've made it to the middle of the week. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host to the segment, we roll the the two big red love dice, the main studio. See who goes first. I just rolled it seven. In a rich roll. Six. Really?

Seven got six. That means Cove gets the first take. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person, besides Judy Bloom, from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Spotty Boy. Hey, guys. I got a lot of the Super Bowl stuff today. I know it's kind of old news, but it's all the pop culture stuff from that. People are still buzzing about.

Still talking about it. But let me start with a story that, broke today. So you may see the viral video of John Rocker and Patrick Mahomes Senior. It's embarrassing. It's changing words on Bourbon Street in New Orleans ahead of Mahomes the second losing to the Eagles. Well, Barstools, Dave Portnoy announced today that the two former MLB pitchers will face off in Barstools, rough and rowdy event on April 18th in Wheeling, Virginia. The quote, beef on Bourbon Street, as Portnoy called it, will headline the event. People are now unclear. because of the video, it's saying it looks staged or unclear if it was staged to promote this,

but because it was awfully quick to come to fruition after this viral thing this past weekend. Either way, I'm sure Patrick Mahomes will be there nice and proud watching this event. Midweeker Major. Major. I love if he will. That was a joke, Rich. That was sarcasm. I'm kind of embarrassed about the whole thing.

I just played the worst game of my life. And now I got my dad embarrassing me more like sort of like insult to injury, like putting salt on the wound. Patrick Mahomes is your son. Stop embarrassing the kid. You're fighting John Rocker on the streets of New Orleans and now at a barstool event. You don't need to do this. Come on, Pat Mahomes. Don't do that to your son.

I'm just catching wind of this. What is this? Pat O'Holmes. John Rocker didn't embarrass himself. It was someone else? It was, well, John Rocker. And honestly, what I saw was John Rocker approaching Pat Mahomes on the street. senior saying

what man I thought we were cool I thought we were boys and Pat Mahomes was not having it John Rocker threw a drink at him now they're fighting I think the whole thing's embarrassing so midweeker major I said major because that's what say you rich What's say you rich? How'd you feel if your dad was doing that?

You can't be the only one that doesn't know this story so I'm glad we explained it it was the week of the Super Bowl to reiterate one last time Mahomes senior and Rocker had an altercation on Bourbon Street After the game. They had to be separated. Before the game.

Before the game. The week, like when everyone's partying on Bourbon Street. So now, I think it's major as well. Definitely major. I mean, it's the best player in the NFL. How did John Rocker come into play in this? That's a great question. If it's not, if it is staged, why?

But if it's not, then I guess that makes more sense. First of all, John Rocker's sort of jacked, but he looks like he's got a limp. And he's jacked with a limb. He's jacked with a limb. He's still very built. He's a big, really guy. Essentially is what you're saying. And you got Pat Mahom, Sr., who's slender and it's just embarrassing.

You'll have time to give us a tail of the tape later, don't worry. I will watch it if it happens. And, you know what, I think you also have to give Portnoy credit. You know, Barstool. Who is it going to watch? You're not going to watch John Rocker and Mahomes' dad fight. It's ridiculous. Why don't we watch a bum fight?

I mean, it sort of feels like that, right? Yeah. Again, Kavino said it, so I don't want to reiterate it, but it's Patrick Mahomes. Why is his family embarrassing? His brother used to, and now his dad, like, the guy seems like so well-adjusted. Him and Brittany are fantastic. And he seems happy when he's not losing and running for his life. He's a new dad, too.

Like, come on. Yeah, grandpa's fighting John Rocker. Sounds like the Royal Tenant bombs. Oh, geez. All right, next. All right, let me squeeze this one in Eagles. Cooper de Gene. Had a stellar pick in this weekend's Super Bowl.

Yeah, he did. And the congrats have poured in, including from fellow Iowa alumni, Caitlin Clark. Clark, as we know, huge Chiefs fan. She was seen attending the game with none other than Taylor Swift, but she sent to Gene a message

after the championship. Gene said actually ahead of the draft that he could beat, he was asked, obviously, you know, that he could beat Clark in a one-on-one game. Of course he could. I know,

but he's since changed saying that he respects what Clark has done for women's basketball on the University of Iowa in general, but was really happy and proud that he actually got that nod from the WNBA superstar

midweek or me. Major. She's the biggest star to come from that school, the biggest star, maybe, arguably in sports right now. So for her to acknowledge him on his birthday with a big moment that he had, I think that's great. Yeah. I mean, I think it's major. Definitely major. But what I think is weak is the fact that Cooper Dijin backed off saying that he could beat Caitlin Clark one-on-one. I bet my home on Cooper Dijin.

He's a grown man. She's a woman still. Men and women competing against each other. She scores some points on them. I mean, they're about the same age. but he would annihilate her one-on-one. The fact that he had to back off for political correctness reasons, annoys me. Just want to keep it all in love that.

You think Caleb Clark could meet a man in basketball that played college basketball? I'm rolling my eyes that you were offended by all of that. Fair, there. She's just rolling her eyes at your face. Right. Is it because I'm a little more clean-shaping than you? Stop it. I want to be younger.

Over to the halftime show. A couple stories out of that. So Kendrick Lamar, as you said, officially the most viewed halftime show. And despite heading into halftime with the 24-0 lead over the Chiefs, players on the Eagles did not sneak out to watch the halftime show. Jailix Hunt was actually stopped. Jaylen. Oh, wait, J-Lix.

Jay-Lix Hunt, yeah, his backship player. Jay-Lix Hunt. Yeah, I know, that's what it says. So it revealed that the team remained laser-focused during halftime, making sure they didn't blow their lead in the second half, saying they just watched it on YouTube. Actually, and a fun stat, the NFL's official video of the performance of Kendrick Lamar racked up more views in one day

than Usher's performance did when it was posted a year ago. So that thing, it just keeps blowing up and growing, midweek or major? It's very major. People can't stop talking about how they feel about the halftime show, much like everything in our country, very divided on this. And I think we're getting extra views on it because people are trying to figure out why anyone else could possibly like it. Like, what did I miss?

What did I miss? And you know what? We're going to be talking about this tomorrow. Like, who do we want or who do we think should be headlining the Super Bowl halftime show next year. But ratings are up. I think the whole thing's major. 133 million people tuned in.

We talked about it at length. I think it's major. I think it's just like former, you know, additional proof to back up what Kavino said, everyone thinks their opinion matters so much. And I promise you it doesn't. Everyone thinks their opinion of like, I loved it. Oh, I hated it.

Go on social media. Everyone thinks they have like the final word, like it matters. 133 million people watch. It doesn't matter what you think. One last one or no? I could squeeze one one last one still on the halftime show. Maybe a reason for some of the views might have to do with Serena Williams.

Tennis crate Serena Williams addressing her viral appearance during the halftime show and says it's apparently been 13 years in the making. You may have seen the video floating around of her after winning gold at the 2012 Olympics. So she said when Compton-born Kendrick Lamar reached out to her because she's also from Compton, she jumped at the chance to be able to dance in the Super Bowl. I know there's that added layer that she dated Drake and the song Not Like Us is a disc track on Drake, but she's saying it was really just about connecting with her Compton fellow Compton native. And she said she practiced hard for her 10 to 15 second appearance.

Side story. I don't know if you heard Stephen A. Smith came out since saying that it's blasphemous. Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye. I'll be damned if my wife was dancing. To a distract to her. I'd divorce her. Yeah. If you've never been married, dude.

But if you're with somebody and that, they're that concerned about their ex, like, come on, man, that's embarrassing. I think there's a little level of embarrassment there. She looked good. She looked good, but like you're dancing about your ex. I'd be a little insulted, too, if I was the new guy. I mean, you know the NWA lyrics, right? I mean, straight out of Compton, crazy mother effort named Serena.

It's hilarious, right? Right? I mean, we all expected that. All right. Thank you, Scottie. Midweek major. Let's go to Moncey Belanos, who see walked her way into the studio. Oh, boy.

You know it? You can't say gang names? I just looked that up. Spot was like, do you know that? You can't say gang names on the radio or TV? Interesting. Is that weird? I did not know that.

You guys should do your FCC training or pay attention to it at least. Are we sure we haven't said those words? Who knows? The bucks are going to be without Damien Lillard tonight as they take on Minnesota. He's still going to be available for all the all. All-star events that he committed to the three-point shooting contest and the game on Sunday. Pelicans Wingman, Erb Jones, will be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. In the NFL Colorado quarterback, Drew Sanders, revealed that his first top 2.30 visits with NFL teams are going to be with the Browns and the Giants who hold the second and third overall picks in the upcoming draft.

Ohio State is finalizing a deal to make veteran NFL coach Matt Patricia, the school's new defensive coordinator. Angel's third baseman Anthony Rendon hates baseball. He's having hip surgery and is expected to miss a significant amount of time. He just doesn't play. You know what I don't get about this, though? What? He had all offseason to figure out whether or not he needed hip surgery, right? He just hates baseball.

So just right now, he's like, you know what? I think now I need the surgery. He's played 205 games. He's missed 438. That's the weakest signing of all time. What are we doing? Like, just admit you hate baseball. And lastly, if you're into hockey, the four nations faceoff begins today.

Canada takes on Sweden and USA is going to play Finland tomorrow. This replaced the all-star game in the NHL for this year. Back to you guys. Hey, Monzi, I was singing like a little nursery around with my kids. Can you want you going to sing it with me? You want to be younger? Who's afraid of the big bed. Wolf.

Thank you. Don't entertain him. Thank you. Don't you dare. No, I knew what he was doing. Good scene. You think he's clever? He's not clever.

He knew what he was doing. Love you, buddy. Woof. Thank you, Moncy. Woof, woof. All right. So, Rich, if we have time. time. Sequin Barkley was talking about Taylor Swift, but we have our own little CNR spin on it.

Travis Matthew. You know, Danny, around here at Fox Sports Radio, you were the guy always rocking Travis Matthew or swagger jack. It's almost like, you know, when you like a band and then everyone else starts letting that band, and you're like, oh, come on. You get left in the dust.

Like someone on someone will be like, Danny, look at my new Travis Matthew jacket. You're like, yo man, I was going to get that one. I want to thank everybody for hanging out.

Oh, I don't know. I marked it. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you all. I hope you all fall on the way to the car. Can I ask all of you in the rain. Monty wants us all to fall. on the way to our car. Come on. I could have said some worse. And thank you for that.

You know, I just want everyone, before we get to your last story of the day, everyone put on your thinking cap and you can hit us up at Covino-Ritch, at Rich Davis. My daughter's eight and under girl softball team is trying to think of a creative name. They're the teal team. So so far, Covino's Spot, have come up with Teal Team 6 or the Tealer Swift's. Tealer Swift's is cute. Like, I mean, the girls like teal's. Well, they're called the Swifts, right?

Because they're a little girl's softball team, the Swifts. They mean they're quick and they're swift. The tealer. But the teal are swifts because they're rocking teal. I like that. So let us know at Rich Davis. Because all the girls like, I don't know, teal penguins, teal sharks, teal this. Are you the color of the famous 90s hornets?

No, we got to, it's black and teal. We almost look like the marlins, to be honest. Like the old school marlins. Tealers nation. Yeah. Or you could go aqua. Teal or no teal. That's good.

The aqua barbies. The aqua barbies. Send us your ideas. Do Riches work for them. Yeah, do my way. Hey, Rich thinks that we're too dumb to pick up on his Tom Sawyer antics. Hey, Kvinna, want to come to my house and paint and I got pizza. Yeah, Rich always wants to make you do his work.

So anyway, it's a lot of fun. You want to paint? Speaking of your Taylor Swift, Trifts, Rich, Taylor Swift is in the news. Yeah, she is. Sequin Barkley said, I remember they showed Taylor Swift on the Jumbotron. We have the sound. I'm sorry to interrupt. And she got boo.

I don't get it. Sequin says, I don't get it. She's there supporting her significant other, and she's made the game bigger. I'm not going to deny it. 126 million tuned in. That was part of it. It really was whether you want to believe that or not. So she has added a lot to the game.

If we all boo at the same time, we can reenact it. We can reenact it. Ready? Wait, wait, wait, no, count down. One, two, three. All right. Reata's way better than you. Monty has it?

Oh, okay. remember they showed her on the Jumbetron and she got booed. I don't get it. I don't get why she was getting hate there. I didn't like that either. Yeah. She did supporting her significant other. And she's made the game bigger.

You know, we're all about, and football, we're all about, you know, how can we expand the game and make it more internationally? And we're traveling to Brazil and we're traveling to Mexico. And so we're trying to expand the game. And, you know, her being a part of it's only helping that. So I don't get the slide that she would get in. Sequin Barkley making some great points. And he's speaking the truth, right?

He's going to hate, hate, hate, hate. Seriously. And she was like, what's going on here? She didn't even know what's going on. So for today, we're going to add her to the list of other people that get unwarranted, unnecessary hate. And that list consists of Guy Fietti, yep, Nickelback, Dane Cook. Dane Cook, yeah. Think about it.

Guy Fietti, everybody hates on him for no reason because he wears funny shirt. He's the nicest guy of all the guests. and friends. Rocks. I don't care what anybody says, everybody hates on them. I'll throw Creed in there. They get a lot of understasy.

Thumbs up. Oh, Creed, Nickelback, Guy Fietti, Dane Cook. Who else? Let's take it all the way back to when we were kids. Millie Vanilly.

Now everybody lip sinks. Seriously. Oh, come on. Unwarranted hate. Yeah. That wasn't even their voices, though. That was somebody else.

Have you heard? It's a tragedy for me to see. The dream is over. Come on, bro. I don't care. Who sings it? Nobody danced to it like they did. So who do you want to add to that list of people that get unwarranted hate?

Because Taylor Swift, that was unwarranted. When you say that, made me think of like a school dancer, where you couldn't touch the person you were dancing with. Oh, yeah. You had it for the arms out. Put the beach ball in which means. That song came back, too, man. Well, hey, have a great Wednesday night.
