Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Cavino.
Speaker 2: And Rich on Fox Sports Radio, Steve and nobody must
Speaker 2: Wappo Covino and there is Dickey Davis in the flesh.
Speaker 2: So we've been doing this show a long time. But
Speaker 2: when they ask us to fill in for Dan, really
Speaker 2: we'll throw off our whole schedule to do that, No doubt.
Speaker 2: Let me just say three and a half hours, let's
Speaker 2: do school pick up instead of drop off. And by
Speaker 2: the way, East Coast friends, you got it right after
Speaker 2: Labor Day.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, way more sensical, Like the.
Speaker 2: Fact that my kids are in week two of school
Speaker 2: makes little sense to the how we grew up right,
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no doubt. And you want to hear something wild? Yeah,
Speaker 2: what are you doing Friday night? I want to come
Speaker 2: to my daughter's cheerleading game. It's a football game cheering. Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying. It's already got Friday night plans,
Speaker 2: Friday night lights.
Speaker 3: Is it like preseason? No, it's an official game all right.
Speaker 2: Here on the West Side, live from Los Angeles, we
Speaker 2: meet of La zero this week zero of my daughter's
Speaker 2: high school football run. She didn't make captain, though she
Speaker 2: didn't make captain, but she was okay with that. She's
Speaker 2: still a junior in high school. She made the varsity
Speaker 2: cheerleading team. And I'm cheer dad Steve Cavino there. He
Speaker 2: is the number one coach of Fox Sports Radio, Rich Davis. Hey,
Speaker 2: do you, by the way, when she does her cheerleading
Speaker 2: moves and you like mimicking them back to her, because
Speaker 2: you when I said that, that's what I was thinking. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I implied that, right. I know all the choreography. But
Speaker 2: the point is, yeah, school's already started out here in
Speaker 2: Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: The rest of the world.
Speaker 2: You got it right, everything's upside down out here, which
Speaker 2: means is six am on the West, which means because
Speaker 2: this isn't our normal schedule normally on five to seven
Speaker 2: on the East, two to four in the West. I
Speaker 2: got like maybe three hours sleep last night. Could not
Speaker 2: fall asleep. You it's hard to you know, dude, that's
Speaker 2: a that's a ramt on it because you know, we're
Speaker 2: gonna get to a lot today, a lot of fell
Speaker 2: this Genie Bus, NBA news is a lot of funny things.
Speaker 2: Drew Brees stopping. Oh, Drew Brees is gonna be here
Speaker 2: the very funny. Frank Kelly Ande is gonna be here,
Speaker 2: so I'll get about him too. A really good show.
Speaker 2: But Covino's right, there is something about doing the Dan
Speaker 2: Patrick Show, and anyone can relate, not with doing the
Speaker 2: Dan Patrick Show, but pink this picture. You book an
Speaker 2: early morning flight, you're so in your head about like, well,
Speaker 2: I gotta make sure I get to the airport there.
Speaker 3: I can't oversleep. I can't do anything that you really
Speaker 3: can't chill.
Speaker 2: And that's how I permanently feel when we feel it
Speaker 2: for Dan Oh, because you know any other time there's
Speaker 2: no I'm gonna oversleep. But I even had my wife's
Speaker 2: set in alarm, which I feel that I'm like, you
Speaker 2: set a backup in case. My hope is you know,
Speaker 2: and I know that we will someday get used to it.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 2: Sam Sam is here, Sammy Sam is here on the
Speaker 2: ones and twos on the Cocking Steel, And we got
Speaker 2: the super producer Danny ge Danny on the phones on
Speaker 2: SAMBI waiting just to say hi eight seven seven ninety

Speaker 2: the way, we are streaming live so you could chop
Speaker 2: it up in the live chat chime In, Be Interactive,
Speaker 2: Get Involved, the most interactive show on Radio. Covino on
Speaker 2: Retch YouTube dot com, slash at Covino and Rich FSR.
Speaker 3: Let the wild rumps begin.
Speaker 2: Danny g Our producer, probably the biggest Lakers fan we know. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and Danny, you were all about this Genie Buss trying
Speaker 2: to hang on. Huh yeah, all this family hangout. It's
Speaker 2: got me emotional.
Speaker 3: Boooooo.
Speaker 5: Let's getting messy because her brothers were supposed to, you know,
Speaker 5: vote her way, and that's not happening right now.
Speaker 2: So you know, I know it's a fake show. I
Speaker 2: didn't watch season two, but if anyone watched that Netflix
Speaker 2: show with Kate Hudson where she's sort of playing like
Speaker 2: the whole point is like she's supposed to.
Speaker 3: Be like Genie Bus. Right, it's a fake team.
Speaker 2: It's a fake scenario, but it's like she's the sister
Speaker 2: that took You just found out that was fake.
Speaker 3: Rich thought Forrest Gump was real.
Speaker 2: That's true, Yeah, until I told him it was Yeah, No,
Speaker 2: your brother, that was a year ago true story. His
Speaker 2: brother did. Though you had to call my brother out.
Speaker 2: I got you to have to, you know, Forrest Gump's
Speaker 2: real now. But it is wild to think though, that
Speaker 2: Genie buss is dealing with like family drama like that,
Speaker 2: like the idea of like her brother's voting against her.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's not a surprise. Well that's surprised.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the squabbling isn't a surprise though. Right when you
Speaker 2: get family involved, there's always going to be a squabble.
Speaker 2: That's like the first rule in business. So they say,
Speaker 2: I don't know. So the story is they still had
Speaker 2: seventeen point eight percent share of the Lakers.
Speaker 3: Correct, Danny g Correct.
Speaker 2: Even after the big sale last week, they still had
Speaker 2: seventeen point eight percent. But then Shams goes and reports that, yeah,
Speaker 2: they sold their share and Jeanie bus At hold up.
Speaker 2: I didn't agree to that, and because it wasn't run
Speaker 2: by her in the proper way. To my understanding, this
Speaker 2: is causing the squabble. Is that the gist of it
Speaker 2: just want to make it differentially.
Speaker 5: She didn't authorize this, she doesn't believe the vote was
Speaker 5: legally valid, and her siblings shouldn't have been able to
Speaker 5: force this through the way I did.
Speaker 2: So if the family still owns seventeen point eight percent
Speaker 2: of the lakers. They all have to agree before they
Speaker 2: share it, and apparently she was not given that courtesy
Speaker 2: the proper way, So that's causing some strife in the
Speaker 2: Bus family. I look at it like, if I'm the
Speaker 2: Bus family, I get it. You want the money, And
Speaker 2: you said the other day when teams are selling for
Speaker 2: billions and billions more than people bottom for, and there's
Speaker 2: all these opportunities to sell, sell, sell, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Is there a part of you that the Bus family
Speaker 2: in particular because of their late great dad and the
Speaker 2: whole family. Wouldn't you want to keep some portion of
Speaker 2: that as your identity?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I know it's uh.
Speaker 2: I know there's a lot of money to be made
Speaker 2: and you can move along and you know, living the
Speaker 2: lap of luxury, which they already are. But what do
Speaker 2: you what do you think you'd want to just somehow
Speaker 2: always have yourself tied to that. Is it such a
Speaker 2: big part of your identity if you're a bus I mean,
Speaker 2: is it?
Speaker 3: Are you like part of that?
Speaker 2: Maybe we're thinking thinking is my heart? Yeah, we're thinking
Speaker 2: with a different set of eyes and ears here. We're
Speaker 2: not business people, and we're putting too much sentimental value
Speaker 2: into the actual value.
Speaker 3: Maybe.
Speaker 5: Well, besides Genie, everybody is seeing dollar signs, including the NBA,
Speaker 5: because you know, the Board of Governors are likely going
Speaker 5: to approve the Eiger and Company sale because of that
Speaker 5: twelve point five billion dollars. But is it the best
Speaker 5: thing for the NBA long term?
Speaker 3: That's a great question.
Speaker 2: And I know the other part of the story, though,
Speaker 2: rich to my understanding my reading comprehension, is not all
Speaker 2: that great.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Is that Shams was sort of coerced and throwing it
Speaker 2: out there by the brothers. So the brothers basically manipulated
Speaker 2: the information information for him to put out there, so
Speaker 2: nothing on him. This is the information he's been given
Speaker 2: by the brothers, which therefore feels like a backstap to
Speaker 2: Jeanie Buss.
Speaker 3: Right, So Danny G did I get that?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 2: Like they're using Shamps to manipulate the story, sort of
Speaker 2: forcing the hand. That's the rumor, that's our understanding of
Speaker 2: what's going on.
Speaker 3: So you could.
Speaker 2: See how sticky, icky icky it could get, especially if
Speaker 2: they're using you know, the number one dude in the
Speaker 2: NBA to put that information out there. So it appears like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is a done deal. This is Hey, we're moving
Speaker 2: forward with it.
Speaker 6: Yay.
Speaker 3: What about Genie? Yeah yeah, yeah, she's in on it.
Speaker 3: Shams report that, get that out there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we all agree everything's good and put things in
Speaker 2: real perspective. My family squabbles over who gets Graham happy shoehorn.
Speaker 2: You don't think that family members are gonna squabble over
Speaker 2: millions and billions of dollars?
Speaker 3: So as absolutely dud So here's the here's the question.
Speaker 2: You think every every family thinks they're good until grandma
Speaker 2: dies and they're squabbling over like ancient jewelry and here
Speaker 2: like who cares if the Bus family's fighting over should
Speaker 2: we totally just.
Speaker 3: Give up the Lakers? You know, Dad's Lakers rest and peace.
Speaker 2: You know, if they're squabbling over a sibling dispute over
Speaker 2: what percentage or of zero they should have of the Lakers?
Speaker 2: What is the most bizarre thing your family has fought about.
Speaker 2: Let's be interactive and if and if you've got the
Speaker 2: best answer, maybe Davy g Will throw you a little
Speaker 2: uh Coveno on Rich Fox Sports Radio prize.
Speaker 3: Maybe I gave three of these package.
Speaker 2: We got their football's, we got grilling aperns, we got
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3: Goodies.
Speaker 2: But the question is, what's the most ridiculous, eye rolling,
Speaker 2: foolish thing your family has fought about, Where like Uncle
Speaker 2: Hank doesn't talk to the family anymore.
Speaker 3: Why, I don't know.
Speaker 2: We got to fight on Thanksgiving about the Cowboys and
Speaker 2: he just ran out and never came back. Like that happens.
Speaker 2: I know every family. Every family has a chapter. And
Speaker 2: this is the really interesting part. I always wonder if
Speaker 2: you ever do that thing where you wonder is it
Speaker 2: my family or everyone's family? There are family members when
Speaker 2: you try to you ever try to do like a
Speaker 2: family tree project in school? Yeah, and you're like, hey, dad,
Speaker 2: didn't Grandpa have like multiple brothers? What happened to that brother?
Speaker 3: I don't know. Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 7: Yah.
Speaker 2: Family, you know, family disputes, and you know, I guess
Speaker 2: I got to fight about something, and yeah, Uncle Fred
Speaker 2: slept with Aunt Jessica. And you're like, what uncle Fred
Speaker 2: some of his brother's wife. That happened that only, yeah,
Speaker 2: calls a big family problem. But I never talked again.
Speaker 3: I know that. Uh, but it's usually more dumb than it.
Speaker 2: I remember one of my one of my exes, this
Speaker 2: is I don't know why this story pops in my head.
Speaker 2: There was like a part of her family they didn't
Speaker 2: talk to anymore, and you know, being nosy, like I am.
Speaker 3: I had a dig I'm like, why do you why
Speaker 3: do you not talk to what? Does your dad not
Speaker 3: talk to his his sister and her family?
Speaker 2: You are the nosiest And she's like, yeah, I was
Speaker 2: like Thanksgiving in the eighties.
Speaker 3: I'm like, what the hell happened?
Speaker 2: And from what I understand, my one of my exes
Speaker 2: family had a whole section of the family that didn't
Speaker 2: talk because on a holiday, they came to the front door,
Speaker 2: probably holding a fruitcake or something and like, you know,
Speaker 2: a bottle of wine, and they said, hey, it's drizzling out,
Speaker 2: go around to the side door. I don't want your
Speaker 2: shoes getting in the house. And they're like, look me in
Speaker 2: the house now it's draining out. They're like, go around
Speaker 2: to the side door. And then say a lot of
Speaker 2: Italian families, a lot of Italian families on the East
Speaker 2: Coast don't use their front door.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like, you know, it's winter protected and they
Speaker 2: never used it.
Speaker 3: Looks, yes, for.
Speaker 8: Looks they use the back we don't use the front
Speaker 8: decorative and Tony, you know, we don't use the front door. Yeah,
Speaker 8: but it's raining, Gay, you're back used the cellar door.
Speaker 2: How many Italian families on the East Coast did you
Speaker 2: know that didn't even walk through certain rooms in their house.
Speaker 3: That's what I was thinking. Don't they don't walk through
Speaker 3: the living ornamental?
Speaker 2: Dude, I had so many friends going up in Jersey
Speaker 2: where you didn't walk through the front.
Speaker 3: Ever, my mother will get mad. Yeah, my mom just
Speaker 3: vacuumed the.
Speaker 2: Floor decorative, so I remember that. So that's why the
Speaker 2: family doesn't talk. Yeah, that's why the family doesn't talk.
Speaker 2: Because they made him walk around the back in the rain,
Speaker 2: in the rain, to the side door, and because I
Speaker 2: never talked to the head.
Speaker 3: It's like, can you believe this? Come on, Gina, we're
Speaker 3: leaving and hence we don't talk anymore. But come mine
Speaker 3: this Thanksgiving?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that that could cause a fight, definitely, So
Speaker 2: we say holidays too. Like you said, tensions are high.
Speaker 2: You know, I heard a conversation yesterday. I saw a
Speaker 2: study recently. My mom said I started a family fight.
Speaker 2: It was like me, I'm in California.
Speaker 3: What about the ridiculousness of uh?
Speaker 2: You know, no matter what side you lie and you
Speaker 2: don't think the' certain families that are like we don't
Speaker 2: talk to mom or dad anymore of a politics. Politics
Speaker 2: is a killer of families. But I want to hear
Speaker 2: the funny stories, not like you know, these are fine,
Speaker 2: not like I want to hear the ridiculous ones. I
Speaker 2: don't want to hear like you know, dad likes Trump
Speaker 2: and the you know your sister doesn't thosey rich doesn't
Speaker 2: want to like get to the bottom of it. But
Speaker 2: I I I'm always so intrigued, like, wait, what happened now?
Speaker 2: It's usually someone who got drunk. Yes, usually someone said
Speaker 2: some offensive truth comes out. I just recently heard one
Speaker 2: of my other buddies say like, yeah, we don't know
Speaker 2: if we're going back to the East coast or the holidays, why.
Speaker 3: The summer or something went down. It always it always happens.
Speaker 2: You know what is happening too. I think just in
Speaker 2: our society, the older guard doesn't get the respect from
Speaker 2: the younger guard, and the and the political differences are
Speaker 2: so stark that they can't even sit at.
Speaker 3: The table together. That's ridiculous. You should be able to
Speaker 3: sit with anyone.
Speaker 2: No, because there's just a total different outlook on what's
Speaker 2: going on in the world. And it just can't vibe
Speaker 2: that the snotty attitude of the Weieniels. They don't have
Speaker 2: respect for.
Speaker 3: The old people, like we did you start a fighting
Speaker 3: the family?
Speaker 2: Oh well I did reference one thing that is true
Speaker 2: when my grandma died, right, they didn't talk for like
Speaker 2: five years, siblings over like who got jewelry and stuff?
Speaker 2: And nobody's hurting for money. No one you would ever
Speaker 2: think would fight over something so silly.
Speaker 3: You think.
Speaker 2: Possessive about the most random things, and it happens to
Speaker 2: every You think your family's above this. But and then
Speaker 2: I see the jewelry and it looks it's like ancient
Speaker 2: relics from like one hundred and fifty years ago. Sometimes
Speaker 2: maybe what is this? Was this buried in someone's tomb? Yeah, like,
Speaker 2: how did you This is what you're fighting over? These
Speaker 2: shells and coins?
Speaker 3: I remember from a pirates treasure. This is from what
Speaker 3: i'd willie, what is this? Mayan relics?
Speaker 9: Who want?
Speaker 3: Why would you fight over this?
Speaker 2: It's the oldest look and stuff, but they're like fighting
Speaker 2: about it. I remember when my when my grandfather died.
Speaker 2: I remember random relatives I hardly knew, came out of
Speaker 2: nowhere and sort of trying to like go through my grandparents' stuff.
Speaker 2: And I remember my mother and he was like, your
Speaker 2: why are these random aunts and uncles here?
Speaker 3: Bro? That's here a rifle to your things, man, that's
Speaker 3: just trash.
Speaker 2: Every family, every family has a trashy Every family has
Speaker 2: a trashy section of the family that shows up. And
Speaker 2: I call you know what, I call them the others?
Speaker 2: The others, Yeah, the others. And when all the mutant
Speaker 2: relatives starts showing up, they start, you know, rummaging through
Speaker 2: Grandpa's National Geographic collection.
Speaker 3: Was like, yeah, and they're somewhere. Who are the others?
Speaker 3: Would you fight over a Mickey Mantle rookie?
Speaker 5: Because when my my uncle Billy and San Jose, California
Speaker 5: passed away.
Speaker 3: Got uncle Billy. Yeah, Uncle Billy.
Speaker 5: He had baseball boxes and boxes of baseball cards and
Speaker 5: he collected from you know, all the decades, and everybody
Speaker 5: knew that there were some mint condition cards worth a
Speaker 5: lot of money.
Speaker 2: Honus, there, I'll take this one. No one knows it right, truthfully, Danny. Truthfully,
Speaker 2: When I was a kid, I stole all of my
Speaker 2: uncles and grandpa's baseball cards.
Speaker 7: I got them all.
Speaker 2: Now, now the family might know, but I got them,
Speaker 2: and what you say, doodled, No, I didn't. I'd kept
Speaker 2: them all, dude. But that caused the family squabble for real.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's a lot because we had family members
Speaker 5: who were going and going through the things and then
Speaker 5: supposedly gathered all the baseball and football cards and basketball cards,
Speaker 5: and you know, like gave us each a stack of
Speaker 5: the cards.
Speaker 3: And I got my stack.
Speaker 5: But trust me, rookie, Yeah, the Mickey Mantle rookie, all
Speaker 5: those uh priceless rookies were not in my stack.
Speaker 3: Danny, you got the Don Assi card?
Speaker 5: You got h I got Rusty Stops, Bobby, Bobby and
Speaker 5: each of them.
Speaker 3: This is Ginger, oh, Danny, Rusty Stobs. Great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's uh you know, as I turned to
Speaker 2: my I turned to my right.
Speaker 3: On TV, she is Genie Buss and that's how we
Speaker 3: got here.
Speaker 2: By the way, yea, you know, they'll testing the family
Speaker 2: sale of the Lakers, saying that that's seventeen point eight percent.
Speaker 2: She did not agree to totally give up their stake
Speaker 2: in the Lakers and I think there is such an identity. Now,
Speaker 2: this is a very unique case because if you have
Speaker 2: seen documentaries and mockumentaries and whatever the case may be,
Speaker 2: the story of Jerry Buss and the Lakers is fascinating
Speaker 2: and you do feel like there should always be some
Speaker 2: type of connection.
Speaker 3: To the I picture John c Riley still best show
Speaker 3: that ever got, the best show that ever got canceled
Speaker 3: from the show Winning Time, which shouldn't have been canceled.
Speaker 3: I should still be on right now. That was the
Speaker 3: best show that got call.
Speaker 2: You know what, even from a fictional show like that,
Speaker 2: you do get the sense of how much doctor Buss
Speaker 2: meant to the NBA, or how much Genie Buss was
Speaker 2: invested in her her dad's business and what he was doing.
Speaker 3: Such I could see that such.
Speaker 2: A part of why the NBA got to where it
Speaker 2: got to her dad and the family. So I could
Speaker 2: see where she's like, I don't want to be out.
Speaker 2: So we're talking about those family squabbles that totally ruin
Speaker 2: the family dynamic. And you know, here's let me give
Speaker 2: you a little piece of advice and we'll move on.
Speaker 2: We'll take some feedback and then tell you my last story.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, tell me your list story. Then I have
Speaker 2: the best advice for anyone with family squabbles, and then
Speaker 2: we will get to some NFL.
Speaker 3: A lot of NFL today.
Speaker 2: As everyone's getting fired up, I want to talk some
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield in a second. Okay, my last squabble. My
Speaker 2: family's always squabbling. If you want the juice, just talk
Speaker 2: to my mom. She cuts up everybody in the matter
Speaker 2: of like twenty minutes. Give my mom. She's like ten
Speaker 2: ten wins. Give her twenty two minutes. She'll give you
Speaker 2: the world and she'll cut up everybody in the family.
Speaker 2: Give you this scoop. Mom doesn't hold back.
Speaker 3: Nah man, She's mad at everyone. Right.
Speaker 2: So I made the mistake of calling, uh, calling my mom,
Speaker 2: and she just vents at me.
Speaker 3: I'm like ah ah, and she's dowing digs at me
Speaker 3: left and right. By the way, just say no.
Speaker 2: If you talk to every time, if you talk to
Speaker 2: your mother, we all agree. I want everyone to know
Speaker 2: this she was going on. If every time you talk
Speaker 2: to you mother, she's bitching and complaining about your siblings,
Speaker 2: just know she's doing that about you.
Speaker 3: It's bitching and knowing them and moaning no, you're not immune.
Speaker 2: So when your family makes fun of all the other
Speaker 2: family members, just know that when they're talking to themselves,
Speaker 2: they're making fun of you.
Speaker 3: So if the Bus.
Speaker 2: Family squabbling because Jeanie doesn't want to sell her share
Speaker 2: never agreed to it, the way the story's going now,
Speaker 2: they still have seventeen point eight percent of the acres.
Speaker 2: We're asking you about your family squabbles because we all
Speaker 2: have them, and it's fun. It's actually really funny to
Speaker 2: talk about when you realize how silly it is, right,
Speaker 2: and people hold these lifelong grudges over the silliest things,
Speaker 2: and life's so short, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 5: So yeah, really really funny when you get a Dave Kingman, Rookie.
Speaker 2: Danny who needs Mickey Mantle or Jackie Robinson when I
Speaker 2: can give you this loop Panelay, but you know what,
Speaker 2: look at not to derail, but look at Aaron Rodgers
Speaker 2: family squabble.
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to be the bigger person.
Speaker 2: Like his new mystery wife it Brittany, who reunited him
Speaker 2: with his.
Speaker 3: Family over what they had.
Speaker 2: Some like you know, a couple of religious things, right,
Speaker 2: a couple just life things.
Speaker 3: That's all speculation. The reality is like the idea of
Speaker 3: cutting out your family about ten years they were on
Speaker 3: note speaking terms.
Speaker 2: And I think it's I think it's a ridiculous sentiment.
Speaker 2: There's a weird sentiment. Again, not to be all over
Speaker 2: the place code, but there's a sentiment among really younger
Speaker 2: people that like, you don't need your family, like cut
Speaker 2: them out, Like you know, won'uld be cutting out their
Speaker 2: family unless they're you know why it's so toxic because
Speaker 2: we all know too much more than ever before, Like
Speaker 2: because of social media. You see Aunt Cindy's real views
Speaker 2: and it offends people.
Speaker 10: I feel like now more than ever, we've been seeing
Speaker 10: these articles about going no contact with your parents.
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous. It's no contact And I'm like, what is this? Yeah,
Speaker 3: because it's like but I get it.
Speaker 10: There are there are a lot of families that don't
Speaker 10: get along and sometimes better.
Speaker 3: Just to move on it.
Speaker 2: What happens Sam Again, it's generational differences. It's not necessarily
Speaker 2: like regional or cultural. It's like generational. It's like our
Speaker 2: generation starts having kids, right, and then your kids become
Speaker 2: aware and they're growing up in today's world, and then
Speaker 2: like Grandpa is saying like crazy off the wall stuff
Speaker 2: and you don't want them to say these things.
Speaker 3: In front of your kids.
Speaker 10: And then there's fractures and skis. Ye, people start just
Speaker 10: joining their most immediate family.
Speaker 3: It's all sorts of stuff like that.
Speaker 2: But just recently, in my for the record Cavino here,
Speaker 2: my family's great, you know, like squabbling is just what
Speaker 2: everybody does. Yeah, it's DNA of a fiery family. So
Speaker 2: I was there a few weeks.
Speaker 3: Ago, and.
Speaker 2: I happen to be there right around my milestone birthday.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm going with milestone birth Yeah. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: don't need to birth. I don't need to give out
Speaker 2: the details I'm getting going alright, I'm grown eighty five,
Speaker 2: still the youngest in the game.
Speaker 3: He lives on a Sun dial. Yeah, so.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm forgetting how old I am now,
Speaker 2: sundial So yeah, Sundell's broken. But anyway, my family were
Speaker 2: just happy to be there. Like my immediate family, most
Speaker 2: of them were there. It's hard to get everybody there
Speaker 2: at the same time, but they just happened to be around.

Speaker 2: and I'm rarely home, Like.
Speaker 3: Yeah, get a carveil cake, gets get Fudgie the whale

Speaker 2: burgers and dogs.
Speaker 3: This is the truth. Dad was like, Hey, what do
Speaker 3: you want? Hot dog? What do you want but burger?
Speaker 3: What do you want? Burgers and dogs?
Speaker 2: Simple Jersey backyard barbecue. But not even a barbecue. It's
Speaker 2: just the immediate family and we're eating. You're grilling someone
Speaker 2: in the South of barbecue.
Speaker 3: Don't even use that word.
Speaker 2: But it's a Sunday like you gotta eat, right, So
Speaker 2: either we were gonna order pizza or does I have
Speaker 2: like burgers and dogs, hot dogs, cheese burgers, A you're good.
Speaker 2: I got We did have a cake because I was like, yeah,
Speaker 2: get it all right, just get a cake whatever. The
Speaker 2: kids are here, and uh, it comes out or it
Speaker 2: happens to be news that I had a cake and people,
Speaker 2: you know, we hate we celebrated my breath, so my
Speaker 2: aunt and uncle and their kids who live in the
Speaker 2: town weren't invited. It's like, no, we weren't doing anything.
Speaker 2: So then my dad was like, yeah, he didn't want
Speaker 2: to celebrate.
Speaker 3: The word gets out. How did you get out?
Speaker 2: Like I guess, you know social media. Someone says like, yeah,
Speaker 2: we had a cake for Steven, and then Uncle Joe's
Speaker 2: like they had a cake. No one told me, yeah exactly,
Speaker 2: and it turns into that and it's like no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I didn't want to party.
Speaker 3: I was just there. I didn't want anything going on.
Speaker 2: You had cake, though, but we had cake because we
Speaker 2: had cake, and it appears like a party, cake left cake.
Speaker 2: They weren't invited to my big milestone birthday party. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: it was yeah it was pin dogs hot dogs, an
Speaker 2: emotional baby, like I don't want to celebrate. My parents
Speaker 2: were just like abiding by that, so you know things
Speaker 2: like that happened. Well, Genie, Bus Bus family, we wish
Speaker 2: you well. If I'm the Bus family, I don't know
Speaker 2: why you'd want no affiliation with the franchise. Your dad
Speaker 2: not only put on the map but made well, you know,
Speaker 2: next level like.
Speaker 5: The one we know Rich because they're older now and
Speaker 5: they want to cash in, want to cash want family
Speaker 5: isn't there into retirement. They're not passionate per se the
Speaker 5: way Genie is, and they weren't and they weren't successful
Speaker 5: running the team the way Geenie was not.
Speaker 2: Sound like a jerk, but it's not like they're they're
Speaker 2: part owners of like some like the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 3: This is the Lakers.
Speaker 2: It's like and your dad and your whole family synonymous
Speaker 2: with the Lakers. I'm just shocked at the Bus family
Speaker 2: is like we want out totally, Like, yeah, the money's
Speaker 2: big now, you're right, billions of dollars will change someone's mind.
Speaker 2: But my one piece of advice, and I know we're
Speaker 2: gonna get to the NFL and Baker Neck can wait.
Speaker 2: It's just simple. Rich is like the doctor fill the show.
Speaker 2: Don't take or want anything. I've made it abundantly clear
Speaker 2: to my parents, my wife's parents, everyone. I'm like, when
Speaker 2: he's fired.
Speaker 3: Didn't you get your grandpa's pogo stick? Shut?
Speaker 2: Rich fought for that. I want his uh? I want
Speaker 2: his uh you know bicycle pump.
Speaker 3: Didn't you get his two pay collection? Rich got his
Speaker 3: uncle Bozo's tricycle. Rich wanted it.
Speaker 2: But I've already heard like family members be like, well,
Speaker 2: you know this piece of furniture is antique, and oh
Speaker 2: this was from of your great great grandmothers in Germany.
Speaker 3: And to me, I said it. I go listen, I
Speaker 3: from the old world.
Speaker 2: You don't want their humble collection. I'm gonna let me know.
Speaker 2: I don't want anything. I've told my wife's family. When
Speaker 2: whatever of you do in your state or will or
Speaker 2: whatever you know, figure out who do want any air
Speaker 2: if you try, I don't want any airlom if you
Speaker 2: try to figure out who gets the family shoehorn, like
Speaker 2: I said, I don't want I think Rich has a
Speaker 2: family clown horn talking about it. I don't want anything,
Speaker 2: and I think you should take the same lead. You
Speaker 2: don't want to fight with your family. You still want
Speaker 2: to talk to your family. Don't ask for anything.
Speaker 3: The end.

Speaker 2: It's uh. Every time something happens. You know what our
Speaker 2: video guys fol likes to say. And this is for
Speaker 2: anyone at their job operator error, operator error. Right, Well
Speaker 2: that's ninety percent of the time.
Speaker 3: But whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as Danny G jokingly said, better with Frank than
Speaker 2: with Drew Brees.
Speaker 3: I just kidding, Frank. We love you, man.
Speaker 2: We say that respectfully for sure, and appreciate your time.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: Is he there?
Speaker 5: I have him on the phone now the way we
Speaker 5: used to do it in radio, right, Hy.
Speaker 7: Frank, I didn't hear?
Speaker 4: What was How did you make fun of me?
Speaker 3: What was? What did you say, better you than Drew Brees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, so you killed my my intro line.
Speaker 4: That's what I was gonna do, Like I was the
Speaker 4: Chester yes or and I one hundred percent agree with you.
Speaker 4: I mean, I get out no, no, no, no, no, I'm on.
Speaker 4: I'm on with it.
Speaker 2: But when you were talking about hanging out with Drew Brees, though,
Speaker 2: I do love that mutual respect that you guys get,
Speaker 2: and I love how they embrace you, and that's sort
Speaker 2: of what I was getting at before. You know, it's
Speaker 2: the third time I'm asking this question, and it's not
Speaker 2: even that great.
Speaker 3: Of a question, I would say from the freaking question.
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, speaking of quarterbacks, we were talking
Speaker 2: about Baker Mayfield and how he was offered two years,
Speaker 2: one hundred and million. We were saying, how do you
Speaker 2: not take the money and run? You know, what are
Speaker 2: your thoughts when you hear stories like that? And I
Speaker 2: don't know, if you're watching it, you betting on yourself,
Speaker 2: which I'm sure you've done a million times in your career.
Speaker 4: No, I usually just acquiesce and go for the money
Speaker 4: that they initially offer me. Right pretty much, that's pretty much.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 4: I I hold out I've held out on some things before.
Speaker 4: Usually people have to talk me into it a little bit,
Speaker 4: but uh, I don't know. I'm usually pretty uh, pretty
Speaker 4: happy with I shouldn't say that I have held out
Speaker 4: for some differently, not that much. When you're talking about
Speaker 4: fifty to one hundred million, I mean, I can't even
Speaker 4: comprehend that. I don't think the average person could comprehend tens,
Speaker 4: if not one hundred, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 4: So if you do, if you do, I can't. I can't.
Speaker 4: I don't think I would. I always looked at it
Speaker 4: when I was a kid watching Brett Fahr make all
Speaker 4: that money in Green Bay. I grew up in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4: I'd be like, well, why don't why can't you, Why
Speaker 4: don't you take less money and get some better receivers
Speaker 4: or get the defense. But that's just not the way.
Speaker 4: When you have all those agents around you and people
Speaker 4: talking to you about that type of stuff, your mindset's
Speaker 4: a little different. You do watch your value. You don't
Speaker 4: want to be treated crappy. And the owners are making
Speaker 4: a ton of money. I think that's the way they're
Speaker 4: looking at it. The league's making a ton of money.
Speaker 4: The owners are making a ton of money, and why
Speaker 4: shouldn't I make as much as possible? And maybe they
Speaker 4: don't trust the owner to put the money where the
Speaker 4: like that quarterback thinks they would put it. I'm sure
Speaker 4: that happened to Baker Mayfield where he's been. He's like, well,
Speaker 4: you told me I was gonna you know, if I
Speaker 4: took less money, you would do this, and that doesn't happen.
Speaker 4: That's the type of thing you just you can't trust that.
Speaker 4: It's business.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Frank and your business. I wanted to buy
Speaker 2: celebrities all the time. And guys in sports in the NFL,
Speaker 2: they love you. But do you still get a kick
Speaker 2: out of it when they recognize you for what you do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Yeah, well yeah. The coolest thing when I first started
Speaker 4: was was I was at a groundling show in Los
Speaker 4: Angeles there the improv troupe, and Will Ferrell walked in
Speaker 4: and said, hey, are you Frank? And I was like that.
Speaker 4: I mean, I was only in comedy for maybe five
Speaker 4: years at that point. And he's like the Madden, the Madden.
Speaker 4: He's doing that, you know, that's pretty cool. And the
Speaker 4: Madden is the thing that people always no when I
Speaker 4: met Chris Evans, I did. I did a thing where
Speaker 4: I brought my daughter to an ACE comic con. Maybe
Speaker 4: I've told you this before, but I brought her to
Speaker 4: an ACE comic con in Seattle. And Josh Broland had
Speaker 4: used me in the movie W for the George W. Bushification,
Speaker 4: so he's like, that was me doing you. So I
Speaker 4: the agent called it. You go, you can go meet
Speaker 4: Josh rolling right now. Only problem is he's with Chris Evans.
Speaker 4: I'm like, we'll deal with it. Then we go in.
Speaker 4: I'm talking to Chris, to Josh Broland for a little bit,
Speaker 4: and Chris Evans because I went, wait a second, who
Speaker 4: are you? And I go Frank Kelly and who goes,
Speaker 4: Oh my god, do some mad do Maden doing this?
Speaker 4: And it was so my daughter at thirteen years old
Speaker 4: thinks of the coolest guy in the world. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I mean, that stuff is I don't even know if
Speaker 4: it's for me at this point, but when my kids
Speaker 4: see something that that that gives me a little bit
Speaker 4: of a cool fee.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I mean it's wild.
Speaker 2: Like I said earlier, the fact that you bring people
Speaker 2: so much joy through impressions, but alone, Frank, you're just
Speaker 2: a great guy without the impressions. But there is such
Speaker 2: a layer, like if anything ever goes weird, Frank could
Speaker 2: always just do a impression you ever impressions to get
Speaker 2: out of, like a weird, uncomfortable moment.
Speaker 4: Morgan Freeman.
Speaker 12: And that's when he realized he didn't have enough money
Speaker 12: to pay for that dinner. So Frank slowly, but Charlotte
Speaker 12: crawled through five hundred yards. And look, if they're slop,
Speaker 12: I can't even imagine, or.
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm too don't walk too just to wash those dishes?
Speaker 4: Is that a real thing? Can you wash dishes at
Speaker 4: a restaurant?
Speaker 2: I know we were led to believe that when we
Speaker 2: were kids. If that's what they do, right, I saw
Speaker 2: Pee Wee Herman do it in his Big Adventure.
Speaker 3: That's that's uh my only reference to it.
Speaker 7: Yes, I seen.
Speaker 4: If anything reflects reality, it's Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
Speaker 3: Yeah you never? Did you have run ins with him
Speaker 3: on your come up at all?
Speaker 7: Or no?
Speaker 3: The Great Paul rub.
Speaker 4: Total wrong verbiage for that one.
Speaker 3: No, you never you know encounter, No, you never at
Speaker 3: the playhouse.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 4: The big one, because I've become really good friends with him,
Speaker 4: is John Gruden. I mean Gruden is the one I've
Speaker 4: done stuff with. You got I told Richness off the area.
Speaker 4: You got me doing cameos. He's like, you ever do cameo?
Speaker 6: Man?
Speaker 4: Like what you know that thing where you wish people
Speaker 4: happy birthday? Let's tell you what they're.
Speaker 6: There's no better satisfaction than wishing somebody.
Speaker 4: And this guy, he has the greatest cameos in the world.
Speaker 4: I'm doing a commercial for him on cameo. I can
Speaker 4: do it for me, but but I'm at I'm at
Speaker 4: the FFCA, and he's got he's always watching film, He's
Speaker 4: always got old video on there. He's like, I gotta
Speaker 4: do this one. First guy's birthday. Give me a second
Speaker 4: at the birthday. Rich It's great that you're fifty years old.
Speaker 4: You're breaking into the fifty year Mike Mark, like, well,
Speaker 4: the Peyton to run through the line and then he
Speaker 4: plays Peyton behind it, Like that's the greatest thing I've
Speaker 4: ever seen in my entire life.
Speaker 2: So I just think he said the Madden the Madden before.
Speaker 2: I feel like generationally you could see how old someone is,
Speaker 2: whether they want you to do the Madden or the
Speaker 2: Grindin In a way, I feel like I feel like
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 4: I went from a guy who pigeonholed himself as a
Speaker 4: comedian who did an impersonation of a guy named John,
Speaker 4: to a median who doesn't imperson an impression of a
Speaker 4: guy named John. It's went from j O h N
Speaker 4: to j O when I guess I had some George
Speaker 4: w and some Donald Trump in the middle Trankly and
Speaker 4: Joe Biden. Folks, I mean that those are all tertiary
Speaker 4: two that Gruden and Madden, and I know I milked
Speaker 4: it pretty well. So one of those things where it's
Speaker 4: it's the it's the duality of it. It's like, hey,
Speaker 4: everywhere I go, people you know, on the air want
Speaker 4: me to do it, and I'm like, maybe I'll get
Speaker 4: away from it, and they're like, well you do all right?
Speaker 4: Yeah why not? I mean, if you take yourself too
Speaker 4: seriously in your a comedian, you are moral. Yeah I was.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, you doing impressions is just I mean,
Speaker 2: you're the best at it.
Speaker 4: So I don't know about that, but I'm decent enough
Speaker 4: that I've pulled it off.
Speaker 2: Who else do you think is good in the game?
Speaker 2: Do you have that Aunt Rushmore who would you say.
Speaker 3: I know, there would be people.
Speaker 4: I mean people that you know Jay Farrow, I've got
Speaker 4: some friends like Joe Goddett and some people that are
Speaker 4: like dead on mimic. My friend John Holmberg, who's a
Speaker 4: radio guy. It's one of the best I've ever heard.
Speaker 4: He's like me if I were a little bit more,
Speaker 4: quite a bit more evil, but it's it's Uh. Sasso's fantastic.
Speaker 4: Aery Spears really great. I mean people have usually you
Speaker 4: have like five to ten that are your your calling card.
Speaker 2: Like you said, Saso, I picture Sasso doing Macho Man.
Speaker 2: I picture him doing Tony Soprano. So I'll put you
Speaker 2: on the spot. You worked with both of those dudes
Speaker 2: on Man TV. Who does a better Tony Soprano? Aery
Speaker 2: Spears or Will Sasso?
Speaker 4: Who, Uh, I don't know, I honestly, I mean they're
Speaker 4: both pretty freaking great. I would say Sasso because in
Speaker 4: the makeup, Will Sasso is a yes, forget about It's
Speaker 4: one of those kinds of things you thinking about right now.
Speaker 4: If somebody's talking about Tony Soprane, he said, first, I've
Speaker 4: got a door, Come on, I.
Speaker 3: Love that, And yeah, they both are so great.
Speaker 7: But you.
Speaker 2: Uh, obviously you're You're the guy that everyone thinks of
Speaker 2: with him depressions. Cavino saw a picture of you with
Speaker 2: carrat Top.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I saw karrat Top back in the day. Apparently you
Speaker 2: guys are pals. I saw him, and I was so
Speaker 2: I went in thinking like, I don't know if I'm
Speaker 2: gonna like this.
Speaker 3: He was fantastic.
Speaker 4: He's most unbelievable.
Speaker 2: I feel like he's sort of underrated because I think
Speaker 2: everyone's saying, oh, what is he gonna do?
Speaker 3: He pulled He's great.
Speaker 4: Jeff Die I think said this on Rogan. I think
Speaker 4: he said he's better than all of us, and he's
Speaker 4: one hundred percent correct. I mean, carrat Tops show is
Speaker 4: basically a living set of memes. He is social media
Speaker 4: on stage, but the music cues, all that stuff is
Speaker 4: just unbelievab. I mean, I would like I would love
Speaker 4: to see whoever's working the lights and the sound cues
Speaker 4: during that's its own show. But he's very, very funny.
Speaker 4: People don't realize it's not just him doing U puney props.
Speaker 4: He doesn't really even do much of that. It's great
Speaker 4: props with thought behind him. There's an actual joke, and
Speaker 4: uh we went in my wife and I went to
Speaker 4: Vegas and uh then he did a little thing with
Speaker 4: me in the audience. So it was fun. But he's
Speaker 4: a great, great guy. And again I keep tying Gruden,
Speaker 4: but this is true. Gruden goes to see him all
Speaker 4: the time.
Speaker 3: That's what.
Speaker 2: Yeah, carrat Top wrote, Uh, he's with the one and
Speaker 2: only Frank Calyando.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 2: Literally one of the funniest people I know. So he
Speaker 2: was giving you props on social media.
Speaker 3: By the way, is that karrat Tops thing.
Speaker 2: When I first started dating my wife, Frank, we happen
Speaker 2: to go see carrat tup. We're in Vegas, and he
Speaker 2: gave us a little shout out on the ois and
Speaker 2: and and made me feel really cool, Like, you know, he's.
Speaker 4: Very don't don't feel that cool. I know that whenever
Speaker 4: there's somebody there, everybody, most people in Vegas unless they're
Speaker 4: a huge, huge, huge headliner. That's that's the thing people do.
Speaker 4: When I had my Vegas show, the thing is you
Speaker 4: get people to come in and then you pop it
Speaker 4: out there, and that's kind of like a little advertising
Speaker 4: type of thing. But it's cool to get of course,
Speaker 4: cool to get to get called out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Frank Caliendo on the Cavino and Rich Show in
Speaker 2: for DP, it's a he's a pleasure. Thanks again for
Speaker 2: your time, Frank. We appreciate you.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: John Madden, obviously you talked about him. Have you accepted
Speaker 2: Nick Cage as the role? Because I feel like last
Speaker 2: time we talked you rolled your eyes a little bit
Speaker 2: about it.
Speaker 3: Have you accepted it yet?
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean, I people all. It's more that
Speaker 4: people keep talking to me about it. I'm like me
Speaker 4: or Nick Cage. I'm thinking Nick Cage for my life story?
Speaker 7: All right?
Speaker 4: If I could have Nick Cage.
Speaker 6: Oh, I'm Frank Caliendo and I'm the guy who does
Speaker 6: a John impression John Madden, John Gruden, doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: Use it where you will, dude.
Speaker 2: It is kind of tough though, because you still see
Speaker 2: that the Nick his face is so famous. We've actually
Speaker 2: interviewed Nick Cage, right and from our perspective, imagine him
Speaker 2: sitting like right across the table from us. Like the
Speaker 2: whole time, I got all these questions lined up, but
Speaker 2: I'm looking at his famous face and it's throwing me off.
Speaker 2: Like there's Nick Cage right there in a white teach sure,
Speaker 2: and his face is so famous. I think that you know,
Speaker 2: you still see it, even though he gained all that
Speaker 2: weight and the prosthetics and everything else, you still see
Speaker 2: his face in John Madden.
Speaker 3: So I'm actually really curious.
Speaker 6: Why do you keep asking me about karent Top. I
Speaker 6: don't understand this.
Speaker 4: Line of questioning exactly. Yeah, I mean, he's so famous.
Speaker 4: I mean people, when you're that famous, it's I don't
Speaker 4: know how much of a regular life you can have.
Speaker 4: So I listen. I was I think I told you
Speaker 4: guys this. They called me to have a zoom call
Speaker 4: with Nicholas Cage about that movie, and I was like, no,
Speaker 4: They're like why not? I was like, because I want
Speaker 4: to hang out with Nicholas. I want to go. If
Speaker 4: I'm gonna, you know.
Speaker 11: Give him the Madden recipe, if I'm going to talk
Speaker 11: about where you put the voice in your mouth and
Speaker 11: sound like your sounds like you're eating a full lemon
Speaker 11: right there, and you're not getting rid of lemons or
Speaker 11: starting the pull lemon, just like Will Sashel.
Speaker 4: So if I'm going to give that up, I want
Speaker 4: to hang out with him for a day. I want
Speaker 4: to walk around and you know, see exotic animals.
Speaker 6: Here's my monitor lizard. Frank, what would John madd say?
Speaker 4: You know, I'm going to go through that. I want
Speaker 4: to have the Leslie Stall walka talk. That's what I
Speaker 4: want to be a part of. So but they then
Speaker 4: they just went on. I think he's gonna sound kind
Speaker 4: of like Nicholas case Boom. That guy looks like he
Speaker 4: just got hit by a freight.
Speaker 2: Train, you know, Frank, guy, I gotta ask you one
Speaker 2: of my favorites. You did one of the last times
Speaker 2: we talked. We're having some fun with Romo, who got
Speaker 2: in some trouble lately.
Speaker 11: Oh jim Oh, Oh yeah, Jimmy jim Z.
Speaker 4: We're gonna be working at the Jimmy John's, just so
Speaker 4: I can say, jim.
Speaker 7: We got jim Oh.
Speaker 4: I feel I love I really like Romo. So I
Speaker 4: don't know, and it's he grew up from me, not
Speaker 4: that far. He's that all happened in Burlington, Wisconsin, and
Speaker 4: I grew up in Waukeshaw. That's like, you know, just
Speaker 4: a little bit down the road. So uh yeah, I
Speaker 4: don't know. I feel bad kind of rich been endo.
Speaker 4: I don't know what's happening with him. Right, does he is?
Speaker 2: He's just like, I don't know, they're they're rearranging CBS's
Speaker 2: like partnerships in the booth, So I don't know. I
Speaker 2: like romo in the booths myself. I was gonna say,
Speaker 2: because you were very quick to do a great romo.
Speaker 2: Are there some guys that maybe they just don't have
Speaker 2: anything distinct about their voice?
Speaker 3: Like I haven't heard anyone do like a Tom Brady.
Speaker 2: Are there some people where it's like, yay, he really
Speaker 2: does nothing interesting.
Speaker 3: With his voice.
Speaker 2: He's just gotta regularly. He's a regular guy, is it?
Speaker 2: Are there people like that?
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's lots, and you don't see me or anybody
Speaker 4: else doing impressions for them.
Speaker 2: Say if you if you assume if there's someone very
Speaker 2: popular that none of you guys in that top tier
Speaker 2: have taken on or picked up, they're just sort of
Speaker 2: not giving you much.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, actors have movie roles, so you can
Speaker 4: reverse engineer it from that a little bit when you have.
Speaker 4: But people told me I could you could never do it,
Speaker 4: Adam Schefter, and I was like a career bay at
Speaker 4: this particular time. I believe I have a way in
Speaker 4: or the people you think don't have I remember when
Speaker 4: George W. Bush was first like the president. I was
Speaker 4: at mad TV. They're like, there's nothing to do with
Speaker 4: this guy, and like, I think there is. We'll figure
Speaker 4: something out, man. So it comes. There's stuff that comes along,
Speaker 4: and you just have to wait for the right moment
Speaker 4: and something has to be a defining moment for the person,
Speaker 4: and then I think there could be. So Tom Brady,
Speaker 4: he does have a relaxed, kind of almost vocal fry
Speaker 4: type of voice at times, so there's probably something to
Speaker 4: do that. But what is he what?
Speaker 3: What exactly?
Speaker 4: What's the what's the thing that you're making fun of him?
Speaker 4: Being a great looking guy that's got tons of money?
Speaker 4: That only so much there is to do with that.
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not really pulling that off.
Speaker 2: Well, So I was getting what would you uh? What
Speaker 2: would uh? What would maybe John Gruden think though? About
Speaker 2: Tom Brady holding his nose when he jumps in the ocean.
Speaker 3: Did you see that?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I saw that.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 4: You know that's a different kind of tuck rule right there. Man,
Speaker 4: Let's tell you what. Take a look. Come on, man,
Speaker 4: you're gonna get some water. You take a chance. You're
Speaker 4: talking about guys out there on the field not playing
Speaker 4: during the preseason. What are you doing? You put not
Speaker 4: a pair of goggles one of those bald cat types
Speaker 4: of things and a snorkel? Is that what you're doing
Speaker 4: in the pool? Come on, man, be a man, do something.
Speaker 2: Hey, you wouldn't do that, right, Frank Colendo, You wouldn't
Speaker 2: hold your nose jumping into the ocean or a pool
Speaker 2: or he was in Alaska. Didn't have anything to do
Speaker 2: with like the temperatures.
Speaker 3: No, no, no no.
Speaker 2: When we had that conversation, I read all our feedback
Speaker 2: and it had like something on his ears. Every every
Speaker 2: so often one comment would be like, what's wrong with
Speaker 2: holding your nose when you jump in the pool?
Speaker 3: I got to be it is like, yeah, you know, Rich.
Speaker 2: Offended one of our guys here, Dan Byer, because we
Speaker 2: were saying that only Lamos do that, and yeah, a
Speaker 2: lot of people take offense to that.
Speaker 3: Are you an hold your nose when you go in the.
Speaker 4: Water, guy, No, I'd rather risk the infection instead of, yes,
Speaker 4: having somebody make fun of me. Yeah, I don't think
Speaker 4: I do, but I know there are probably times where
Speaker 4: I have because I have gotten water in my ear,
Speaker 4: water and you know, it just feels like it goes
Speaker 4: in your brain, but not not consistently.
Speaker 2: And it goes back to what you said. When you
Speaker 2: see stuff like that, you got to take your opportunities
Speaker 2: to make fun of Tom Brady because there's not a
Speaker 2: whole lot, right, So.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well there was a roast about it.
Speaker 3: Oh that was yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that is true.
Speaker 4: And I guess we'd have used up all the material.
Speaker 2: When you find those nuances and you have an original,
Speaker 2: that's the jackpot for guys in your line of work,
Speaker 2: I would imagine, right if you're the first to pick
Speaker 2: up on that, because then a lot of times you
Speaker 2: see people doing impressions of other people's.
Speaker 4: Impressions and nobody knows who's the originator. And it used
Speaker 4: to be if somebody broke out an impression, you'd have
Speaker 4: to find a different take on the person. Now everybody
Speaker 4: just steals area. I mean, it's I've been like, there's
Speaker 4: one I don't know it'll be good enough because I
Speaker 4: have to rev up to get into it. But it's
Speaker 4: Billy Bob Thornton. That's the one I've been doing, and
Speaker 4: it's kind of the Landman Billy Bob. But it's it's
Speaker 4: this thing where there's a there's a moment where you
Speaker 4: can figure out where he's coming from, which gives you
Speaker 4: his point of view and is basically he'll say something
Speaker 4: like a French word and then follow it up with
Speaker 4: a rift. They'll be like, that sounds pretty good, guys,
Speaker 4: we arive a dirty jeck ass like those types of
Speaker 4: moments like you hear those and you hear this elegant
Speaker 4: word or reva dirty and then jeck ass, so those
Speaker 4: and he's like, my kill, It's like, I sound like
Speaker 4: Hank Hill. I don't understand that. So he's it's kind
Speaker 4: of in there without going full cartoon Hank Hill. But
Speaker 4: it's what's that moment? And then how do you bring
Speaker 4: it out and make it more of a character and
Speaker 4: the impression. So that's the difficult thing. You might have
Speaker 4: to be able to do the sound alike, but what's
Speaker 4: the way to make it try and be funny. And
Speaker 4: the sports guys are always for me easier because the analysts,
Speaker 4: what do they do. They break down things in the
Speaker 4: sports world. So what do you do with the analyst
Speaker 4: and the you just break down things in the real world.
Speaker 4: And that's basically comedy for everybody as long as they
Speaker 4: know who the person is.
Speaker 2: Hey, Frank, you're the best in the game when it
Speaker 2: comes to this stuff. Comedy is great, But as a result,
Speaker 2: you've gotten a lot of sports perks along the way
Speaker 2: because you know you're you're so well received in that world.
Speaker 2: What are some of your greatest sport perk moments? I
Speaker 2: guess did you ever take batting practice or anything? Because
Speaker 2: you're a good athlete from what we hear, So what's
Speaker 2: the coolest you?
Speaker 4: I was decent. My dad was a minor league baseball
Speaker 4: player in the White Sox organization years and years and
Speaker 4: years ago. I grew up playing baseball nineteen eighty eight,
Speaker 4: fourteen and under AAU national champion. By the way, I
Speaker 4: was All American on that team eighteen and another team
Speaker 4: from Wisconsin had Craig Counsel on it. Whatever happened to him.
Speaker 3: That's really cool. That's really really cool, man.
Speaker 4: I've done things to take kids too. I've done batting practice,
Speaker 4: I've hit some I've hit some batting practice. I've it's
Speaker 4: more of having my kids meet people like my son
Speaker 4: got to meet J. J. Watt, Drew Breeze, those types
Speaker 4: of people. That's that's the cool But those are the
Speaker 4: coolest moments for me. So those are the perks I
Speaker 4: use the most. And I do the NBA lets me
Speaker 4: do lots of stuff, go to the Summer League and
Speaker 4: the NBA Cup and all those types of things. So
Speaker 4: oh F one. My daughter is a huge F one fan,
Speaker 4: a Jane Leclair fan, and I'm bent over there in
Speaker 4: like basically in the pits and stuff at F one
Speaker 4: with her. And that's that's that's real.
Speaker 2: Do you feel the pressure like doing BP from Warning
Speaker 2: Track Power? Like what's that like for you? Because you're
Speaker 2: a fan like we are.
Speaker 4: I'm fifty two. I would love to. I mean I
Speaker 4: was a kid who was when I was young. I
Speaker 4: was in high school looking at USA today in that
Speaker 4: little rectangle with all the batting averages. Yeah, of course,
Speaker 4: that's how we got all the in, you know. Andres
Speaker 4: Galaraga was always flirting with four hundred ye that type
Speaker 4: of deal, so I uh yeah, I mean there's a
Speaker 4: there's a nervousness. I remember we did it here with
Speaker 4: the Diamondbacks and Tory Lavulo was like, what do you got?
Speaker 4: You know, kind of like a Wilford brim looking at
Speaker 4: Roy Hobbs, and I just wasn't Roy Hobbs. I had
Speaker 4: the trombone case, but there wasn't a bad in it,
Speaker 4: so I went after I hit all right, I had
Speaker 4: a quick swing. But you don't realize how hard it
Speaker 4: is to hit a ball with a wooden bat if
Speaker 4: you haven't done it for twenty years.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, it's it's and the pressure involved in the moment. Yeah, right,
Speaker 2: Rich swears he's gonna jack right.
Speaker 4: Sure, I'm a pressure gang man, so yeah, there is
Speaker 4: that moment. You know what I what I did was
Speaker 4: I when I got into the box, I bunted a
Speaker 4: couple of times, and I laid a couple downs. You
Speaker 4: kind of know what you're doing. I'm like I used
Speaker 4: to small.
Speaker 2: What he went ap Otaco just to show he could
Speaker 2: frank You know you brought up your kids interestingly enough?
Speaker 2: Is it funny how I feel the same way, Perks.
Speaker 2: Now it's like you try to I feel like I
Speaker 2: try to impress my kids more than I've tried to
Speaker 2: impress women when I was single. Like, isn't there like
Speaker 2: a weird sense of like you you get joy out
Speaker 2: of Like what can I show my kids?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Like I said, when when a famous like a
Speaker 4: super famous person knows me and it helps my kid
Speaker 4: meet the person. That's that's pretty I would take that
Speaker 4: over almost anything. I mean, I did another one I
Speaker 4: pulled off was in Vegas and this guy's actually a big,
Speaker 4: big sports fan, Michael Bubla, my wife, my daughter. We
Speaker 4: went to go see Michael Boublay and bou Blaz is
Speaker 4: doing an Elvis impression. He's like, I'm no, Frank, Callianda
Speaker 4: and my wife during the show, because do you think
Speaker 4: you think he does that every time?
Speaker 7: I like, I don't know.
Speaker 4: And then he dedicated a song to Juliette Kellyando my daughter. Wow,
Speaker 4: yeah yeah, and then she's like, what did you do that?
Speaker 4: Kind of like it was almost it was it was
Speaker 4: almost Avengers.
Speaker 7: What did you do?
Speaker 3: That's awesome? Man, Frank. You know, I got I gotta.
Speaker 2: I gotta give Frank some props because not that he's keratop, No,
Speaker 2: not those. I gotta give you props, Frank, because I
Speaker 2: think because you do so many great impressions, people don't
Speaker 2: realize what makes Frank awesome, and it's what he does
Speaker 2: with the impressions, Like the content is hilarious, Like if
Speaker 2: you if you did an impression, but you did the
Speaker 2: impression not saying anything that funny.
Speaker 3: It's just an impression.
Speaker 2: I I just love your ability to like write great
Speaker 2: material for your impressions and you know also just roll
Speaker 2: with the improv on it.
Speaker 3: That's like that's the skill right there.
Speaker 13: No, yeah, I put a little bit of me. I
Speaker 13: put a little bit of me, and those impressions and
Speaker 13: I think that's all. They all come back to the
Speaker 13: same reference points all the time. So there is that,
Speaker 13: but it's the same thing. The thing that you guys
Speaker 13: like about me is the thing that might drive somebody
Speaker 13: else crazy. So and as far as impressions that aren't
Speaker 13: that funny, I probably have a ton of those two
Speaker 13: that are just like single and triple word impressions.
Speaker 3: So well, we appre we appreciate you. Frank.
Speaker 2: Sorry, sorry for the technical issues earlier, but you to man,
Speaker 2: I mean, this is I.
Speaker 7: Can't believe you kept me out. What did you lose?
Speaker 7: Drew Brees.
Speaker 3: We got we got Drew in about uh. We got
Speaker 3: Drew in about twenty Yeah.
Speaker 13: And now and now I've got I've got the the
Speaker 13: the uh, I've got the echo in here.

Speaker 2: Thanks for your time, appreciate you being here in for Dan, Patrick,
Speaker 2: Cavino and Rich When it comes to the NFL Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame, I mean, obviously you're you're a man that
Speaker 2: does your prep. You made it this far, But how
Speaker 2: much prep goes into that speech?
Speaker 7: So much?
Speaker 3: Real.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it's one of the probably one of the hardest
Speaker 14: things I've had to prepare for, because you just have
Speaker 14: so you have a limited amount of time.
Speaker 7: You know, and yet you've got this entire not just
Speaker 7: career but life.
Speaker 14: I mean, I mean, you become so reflective over the
Speaker 14: last you know, eight months, you know, ever since they
Speaker 14: now that Hall of Fame, and it's like, how can
Speaker 14: I possibly convey all of my gratitude and appreciation and
Speaker 14: thank all the people I want to thank in the.
Speaker 7: Amount of time that that you're given, you know.
Speaker 14: I mean, really, it's like you're writing a book and
Speaker 14: then you have to condense the book down into they
Speaker 14: tell you eight to ten minutes.
Speaker 7: I was I was about twice that. Yeah, but.
Speaker 14: You want to do it in a way too that like, look,
Speaker 14: you recognize a lot of people that are in the
Speaker 14: stands are sitting out in the in the hot, humid
Speaker 14: sun for two and a half hours, So you're trying
Speaker 14: to entertain them a little bit, you know, with stories
Speaker 14: and you know, some some laughter, but of course the
Speaker 14: emotions are going to come out, and you just want
Speaker 14: to properly convey that to all the all the people
Speaker 14: that were such an important part of the journey.
Speaker 2: You know, again, you've done it all. But I got
Speaker 2: to ask, do you start getting nervous about that? Do
Speaker 2: you feel the nerves so much preps such a big moment,
Speaker 2: does it get nerve wracking for you?
Speaker 14: Yeah, definitely, But but honestly, I would say, look like
Speaker 14: I mean that Hall of Fame experiences, it's all the
Speaker 14: time leading up to it, in the anticipation, but then
Speaker 14: you know, you're you're you're in Canton for five days
Speaker 14: and there's all these unbelievable things that you're doing, and
Speaker 14: a lot of it. I think they intentionally keep a
Speaker 14: surprise from you so that they get your you know,
Speaker 14: authentic reaction and emotion to it. You know, starting with
Speaker 14: there's a toast in the bus gallery on Thursday night,
Speaker 14: you know, during that week, and I remember walking to
Speaker 14: that room and of course it's already you know, just
Speaker 14: an epic experience with all the busts lit up, but
Speaker 14: it's kind of that dim feel. And then all the
Speaker 14: Hall of famers are in there, and here's me and
Speaker 14: Joe Green and Willing Lanier toasting us all. And then
Speaker 14: I reach over and I'm clinking glasses with Lawrence Taylor
Speaker 14: and I'm like, dude, where am I all?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 14: Like I just got transported to this this unbelievable place.
Speaker 14: And then the gold Jacket dinner, you know, when you
Speaker 14: kind of walk walk through the isle of guys and
Speaker 14: they're welcoming you into the Hall of Fame, and Joe Montana,
Speaker 14: who is a childhood idol of mind, is putting on
Speaker 14: my gold jacket, and all that leads up to the
Speaker 14: enshrinement and then finally it's like the party that night
Speaker 14: you can just kind of relax and cut loose. And
Speaker 14: that was really a big celebration for everybody who came
Speaker 14: in town to be a part of that moment. But
Speaker 14: I mean, just so many elements of the experience that
Speaker 14: all wrapped into just all that feeling and emotion.
Speaker 7: Man it was awesome.
Speaker 2: Drew, We're the same age and Joe Montana was also
Speaker 2: a childhood hero. Mind, so that must have been a
Speaker 2: cool moment for you as you're in your forties. Do
Speaker 2: you find yourself getting more emotional when you're doing things
Speaker 2: with your kids and everything?
Speaker 3: Like what happened to me? Like, do you feel like
Speaker 3: you have the emotional Drew Brees now or what?
Speaker 7: A thousand percent? Man? One thousand percent.
Speaker 14: Here's the other thing about the speech, So, I mean
Speaker 14: there were so many different iterations of the speech, you know.
Speaker 14: I mean I practiced it, you know, I mean I
Speaker 14: actually walked. I went to the high school stadium here
Speaker 14: in town, and I stood on the bleachers and I
Speaker 14: gave the speech to the field as if I was
Speaker 14: in the I was trying to I was trying to
Speaker 14: put myself in the moment so many times, visualize it,
Speaker 14: like you know, the people in the state. I mean,
Speaker 14: I really and like I cried. I cried fifty times
Speaker 14: writing this speech.
Speaker 2: How did you feel making Sean Payton cry when he
Speaker 2: found out he was going to introduce you?
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, well that was awesome. I was trying to
Speaker 7: find a way to surprise.
Speaker 14: Him, you know, by asking him to be my presenter,
Speaker 14: and so I was actually going to fly to him,
Speaker 14: you know, I was going to go to Denver or
Speaker 14: you know, wherever he was and surprise him. So my
Speaker 14: wife and his wife were kind of, you know, planning this,
Speaker 14: and then all of a sudden, I just happened to
Speaker 14: FaceTime him and he was with all of the Saints guys.
Speaker 14: They were they were they were on a golf trip,
Speaker 14: and I was like, Okay, this is actually the perfect
Speaker 14: moment because he's got all these people around him too,
Speaker 14: and so I I think, I think you got a
Speaker 14: very surprised shot and then emotional Sean Payton, just because
Speaker 14: it came out of nowhere. You know, It's maybe like
Speaker 14: the knock for me, you know, when Dan Fouts comes
Speaker 14: to knocks on my door and I you know, you
Speaker 14: have no idea that's gonna happen.
Speaker 7: You just totally get set up. Yeah.
Speaker 14: I think normally we're used to seeing a pretty fiery,
Speaker 14: intense Sean Payton, you know, and so you got to
Speaker 14: see a different side of them.
Speaker 3: That was cool.
Speaker 2: Speaking of Sean Payton, you guys have history. Do you
Speaker 2: talk about what's going on in Denver nowadays? Like do
Speaker 2: you have a text thread going on about bone Knicks?
Speaker 2: Like are you always chopping it up back and forth
Speaker 2: about stuff like that.
Speaker 14: Yeah, here's the thing, Like, I've got a great relationship
Speaker 14: with bon Nicks. We've had a lot of conversations over
Speaker 14: the last few years, you know, as he was was
Speaker 14: drafted by the Broncos, and I mean just talking quarterback, play,
Speaker 14: talking preparation, talking a lot of things.
Speaker 7: Certainly stay in touch with Sean Payton a lot of guys.
Speaker 14: How about this, Sean Payton sent me a picture from
Speaker 14: the Broncos facility of all the people in the Broncos
Speaker 14: facility that I have a connection with, you know, like
Speaker 14: former teammates of mine that are there, coos, et cetera.
Speaker 14: There's twenty two guys in the in the Broncos organization
Speaker 14: that I have a connection.
Speaker 3: Wow, that's crazy.
Speaker 7: So so I I know, I mean that that that's
Speaker 7: probably the team.
Speaker 14: There's probably more people in the Broncos organization that I
Speaker 14: know are playing with the Saints organization right now. You know,
Speaker 14: it's amazing what what what you know the turnover that
Speaker 14: happens in five years. But but yeah, no, I mean
Speaker 14: I stay connected with those guys.
Speaker 7: All the time.
Speaker 2: Here we Drew Brees filling it for Dan, Patrick Cavino
Speaker 2: and Rich Now Drew, Hey, I'm sorry signing up, Doctor
Speaker 2: Drew Brees. Doctor Drew Brees, hang out.
Speaker 7: At least for the next you know, till the end
Speaker 7: of the year.
Speaker 3: Doctor Brees.
Speaker 7: Doctor.
Speaker 3: We all know how hard it is to win a
Speaker 3: Super Bowl.
Speaker 2: You're one of the greatest of our lifetime, one of
Speaker 2: the greatest of all time, and as you know, it's
Speaker 2: you got one, but it's hard to get there. Everyone
Speaker 2: talks about Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, bo Nicks.
Speaker 2: Everyone's like, oh, they'll get one one day. They're not
Speaker 2: all going to get one. Is there a guy that
Speaker 2: you think you're pretty certain what at some point get one?
Speaker 3: Because it's so hard. It's so hard.
Speaker 2: I mean like when you think about like the greats
Speaker 2: like you, it's no one's guaranteed to get two, three,
Speaker 2: four or five any for that matter.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, different different than other sports. Yeah, where
Speaker 14: there's a seven game series. You know, in most cases
Speaker 14: the best team wins, Right, there's times where they go down,
Speaker 14: they lose game one, maybe they lose the first two games,
Speaker 14: but then they figured it out, they battle their way back.
Speaker 7: They make the adjustments. That is.
Speaker 14: That is the thing about a one game playoff is
Speaker 14: that anything can happen, and we see it every year.
Speaker 14: There were times in my career where I felt like
Speaker 14: we had the best team, you know, and and and
Speaker 14: maybe we didn't win, you know, and I know, and
Speaker 14: then there's times where man, you just kind of catch
Speaker 14: fire at the right time and you're an as sending team,
Speaker 14: and and and it all goes your way.
Speaker 7: So that is that is.
Speaker 14: Look, it's the tough part, you know, of the NFL,
Speaker 14: but it's the exciting part. And that's why I think
Speaker 14: it's great. It's the greatest part in our country. And
Speaker 14: it's why everybody loves it so much.
Speaker 2: What did they say, more people, more money has made,
Speaker 2: and more people watch the NFL than every other American
Speaker 2: sport combined, which is wild.
Speaker 14: I mean, look, when you say that of the top
Speaker 14: one hundred most viewed shows in the US in a year,
Speaker 14: it's like ninety seven of them are NFL games, right,
Speaker 14: I mean that that tells you all you need to
Speaker 14: hear right there.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 7: It exciting, it's must see TV. You want to watch
Speaker 7: it live.
Speaker 2: It's the only sport that we said the other day,
Speaker 2: you could watch two teams that you have no care for,
Speaker 2: Like baseball, you're watching your team, NBA you might be
Speaker 2: watching your tea. NFL, you could watch two last place
Speaker 2: teams and still be locked in.
Speaker 7: It's also the parody of it. Yeah, I think seventy percent.
Speaker 14: Of games come down to the last possession. You know
Speaker 14: you think about that too. I mean, it doesn't matter
Speaker 14: who's playing any given some day. You know, anybody can
Speaker 14: beat anybody. It's a lot of good players out there,
Speaker 14: and it's typically you know, two, three, five plays in
Speaker 14: a game that will determine the outcome of the game.
Speaker 14: But no, I mean, look there there are there are
Speaker 14: so many good quarterbacks out there. There are so many
Speaker 14: guys that I enjoy watching. I mean you mentioned a few.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which one of those? Do you think? Which one
Speaker 3: of those? I mean, like you said, it's.
Speaker 14: One day, I think I'll start with Josh Allen because
Speaker 14: I mean, look, he's he's certainly a fan favorite.
Speaker 7: I'm a huge fan of him.
Speaker 14: I love the way he plays the game, I love
Speaker 14: the way he's he's evolved.
Speaker 7: I think as a player. You know, when he first
Speaker 7: came in this league.
Speaker 14: He was super raw, unbelievable talent, unbelievable athlete. Man, he's
Speaker 14: really playing the quarterback position at a high level. You
Speaker 14: can just tell how much his teammates love him, how
Speaker 14: much the community loves him. He means so much to
Speaker 14: Buffalo in that market. I would love to see him
Speaker 14: get one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that he cares. He cares so much too.
Speaker 7: Absolutely, he cares so much. Man. You feel like he
Speaker 7: just shoulders so much of the burden.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know at all times, And and look that
Speaker 14: I was gonna I was then going to go to
Speaker 14: to Lamar Jackson.
Speaker 7: I was gonna then gonna go to Joe Burrow.
Speaker 14: Like I feel the same way about those guys as
Speaker 14: far as like there what they mean to their teams, right,
Speaker 14: and to those franchises. The problem has been they all
Speaker 14: got to go through Mahomes, you know.
Speaker 7: I mean it's just.
Speaker 14: Like, look maybe what you know Peyton had to go
Speaker 14: through with Brady, right, you know, how many how many
Speaker 14: Super Bowls does Peyton Manning go to if it wasn't
Speaker 14: for Tom Brady, right? You know, So there's there's there's
Speaker 14: always those epic battles, you know, whether it's the franchises.
Speaker 14: Really it's the quarterbacks, you know. So that's kind of
Speaker 14: what's happening on the AFC side, you know. And then
Speaker 14: and now you got the NFC side, which you know,
Speaker 14: the way that that Seattle looked at the end of
Speaker 14: last year, and and they've got so many guys returning,
Speaker 14: and you know, you feel like they're the team.
Speaker 7: To go through. But then the Rams just built this
Speaker 7: super team.
Speaker 3: True, doctor Drewes. True.
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a Niners fan. Everyone tell everyone tells
Speaker 2: me my team is too old? Am my forty nine
Speaker 2: ers too old? Or could they stay healthy? I still
Speaker 2: feel like that window's not closed, especially anytime Shanahan's your coach.
Speaker 14: No, I mean I was just about to say I would.
Speaker 14: I'll never bet against Shanahan. I think he he he
Speaker 14: did a masterful job, you know last year and coaching
Speaker 14: that team through a lot of injuries and through a
Speaker 14: lot of adversity, and look, they had a chance to
Speaker 14: win the division in the end, I mean, pretty remarkable
Speaker 14: after what they went through and looked solid.
Speaker 7: Did a great job. Obviously he's he's.
Speaker 14: Now with Tennessee, but I mean that's that's the toughest
Speaker 14: division in football. In my opinion. You know, the Niners
Speaker 14: have an uphill battle with the Rams and the Seahawks,
Speaker 14: but no, I mean I don't count them out.
Speaker 2: Ever, he Drew Brees on the Cavino and Rich Show,
Speaker 2: speaking of quarterbacks. You ever, I imagine you watch these
Speaker 2: shows on Netflix or Hard Knocks, You ever wish you
Speaker 2: were a part of those series? And what would we
Speaker 2: have learned about? Drew Brees?
Speaker 3: Do you watch them? Do you enjoy them?
Speaker 7: I do? I love it. I love ball.
Speaker 14: I mean, here's the thing, you know what I love.
Speaker 14: I've watched the first episode of the Seattle one. I
Speaker 14: think there's another episode out there.
Speaker 3: Watch new one tonight three.
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know what I love is like. Look, there's
Speaker 14: obviously a lot of big personalities in the NFL. There's
Speaker 14: a lot of big personalities on every team.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 14: Mike McDonald, I think is a is a fascinating dude,
Speaker 14: you know, very intellectual, but like a football guy, you know,
Speaker 14: in like kind of a football junkie. And I think
Speaker 14: he looks at it from a lot of different angles.
Speaker 14: I think he's got like a unique leadership ability and
Speaker 14: the guys really really seem to respond to him. He's
Speaker 14: very authentic, not trying to be somebody. He's not like,
Speaker 14: He's just you know, I I I like learning about
Speaker 14: guys like that, you know, a guy who normally, you know,
Speaker 14: attention would go to, you know, everybody else. And yet
Speaker 14: those behind the scenes you know, shows give you the
Speaker 14: opportunity to learn more about eyes that you Otherwise you
Speaker 14: wouldn't have a chance to get to know.
Speaker 3: Maybe what would we learn about you?
Speaker 2: Like Kirk Cousins, we found out he shops at Great
Speaker 2: Clips and your whole cold Yeah, you know, you learn
Speaker 2: all these silly things. What is it about Drew Brees
Speaker 2: that you think people don't know?
Speaker 7: Man, I'm a pretty just you know, routine oriented dude.
Speaker 7: I love to cook. I love to cook.
Speaker 14: I think I think that camera would just be getting
Speaker 14: me on the grill a lot, you know, cooking up
Speaker 14: steaks for the boys. You know, that's all they want
Speaker 14: to do is eat. We're on the high protein diet.
Speaker 14: We're in the bulking phase, you know, as a family
Speaker 14: right now. Yeah, we're in the bulking phase with three
Speaker 14: high school boys playing high school football.
Speaker 2: And by the way, if you want to feel old,
Speaker 2: pictured Drew holding his kid after the Super Bowl. Oh,
Speaker 2: I know that that that that's one of those like,
Speaker 2: oh man, times moving, that's it.
Speaker 14: That's yeah, I know that that was that was that
Speaker 14: was wild. I think that that that probably aged a
Speaker 14: lot of us.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was like, man, by the way, Drew, you know,
Speaker 2: you're a great family guy everyone. You know, I should
Speaker 2: aspire to have the great family dynamic at Drew Brees.
Speaker 2: When you see some of these young players like Justin
Speaker 2: Herbert and his beautiful fiance Madison Beer and then Josh
Speaker 2: Allen with Hailey Steinfeldt.
Speaker 3: And some people, distraction, isn't it.
Speaker 2: I look at it as you're a happy guy with
Speaker 2: your wife or girlfriend, You're going to be more focused
Speaker 2: on the field if you're happy.
Speaker 3: Would you agree with.
Speaker 7: That one thousand percent?
Speaker 2: I feel like when people are locked into a relationship
Speaker 2: and they're happy, I think the guys that are single
Speaker 2: doing hell whoever knows, those are the guys that could
Speaker 2: get unfocused.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 14: I mean it narrows your priorities, you know, like when
Speaker 14: I'm not when I wasn't at the facility, you know,
Speaker 14: working to be the best quarterback that I could be,
Speaker 14: I was just wanting to spend time with my family.
Speaker 14: I was wanting to watch my kids grow up. I
Speaker 14: was wanting to coach their teams. I was wanting to
Speaker 14: take them to the park. That's all I wanted to do.
Speaker 14: So yeah, I mean, I think it gives you. It
Speaker 14: really narrows your focus and priority. You know, if it's
Speaker 14: it's your loved ones and it's the game, you know,
Speaker 14: and honestly, in order to be the best at the game,
Speaker 14: like this is what recharges your battery is spending the
Speaker 14: time with the family. I mean, that's what That's what
Speaker 14: fills your bucket, and it provides a ton of motivation
Speaker 14: for you as well.
Speaker 7: You know, you want to make those people proud.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Drew, you said narrow focus. So I got to
Speaker 2: ask you, Drew Brees here with coven On Rich. When
Speaker 2: I'm not here, I'm coach Rich. I feel like that's
Speaker 2: what I love doing so much, coaching my kids. How
Speaker 2: do you feel about like people wanting to specialize in sports?
Speaker 2: Did you have your kids like, did you want to
Speaker 2: expose them to every sports? Because I hear Pro's like
Speaker 2: you played everything and now I feel like my son
Speaker 2: plays baseball. I feel like it's an all year round thing,
Speaker 2: and you know, you want to play multiple sports, right,
Speaker 2: I'd imagine that's where you're you are leading your kids.
Speaker 7: Multiple multiple sports is the way to go.
Speaker 14: There's no question you you will be a better athlete
Speaker 14: in the long run by far. By playing multiple sports.
Speaker 14: You developed different movements, skill sets. You're in competitive sity situations.
Speaker 14: You know across the board, you're you're you're part you're
Speaker 14: parts of teams where you're going to play different roles.
Speaker 14: So you learn how to cope with that, You learn
Speaker 14: how to adjust to those situations. You know, you're dealing
Speaker 14: with a lot of disappointment and failure at times and
Speaker 14: learning how to overcome adversity. And so look, my concern
Speaker 14: with this, this pressure on parents and kids to specialize
Speaker 14: is yes, you.
Speaker 7: May look just like anything.
Speaker 14: If you're putting a billion reps to something, you're going
Speaker 14: to get better faster, but you're not going to be
Speaker 14: better in the long run.
Speaker 7: Like long run, you are better by being a multi
Speaker 7: sport athlete.
Speaker 14: Also, by doing that in the short term, you run
Speaker 14: risk of overuse, injuries, burnout, resentment, and in most cases,
Speaker 14: like you end up dropping that sport at some point
Speaker 14: and then you look back on that experience like, man,
Speaker 14: I just got robbed in my childhood because I was
Speaker 14: focused on this, you know, my entire childhood. I didn't
Speaker 14: have a chance to do these other things with my
Speaker 14: buddies or you know. And so it is at multi sport,
Speaker 14: without question.
Speaker 7: Is the way to go.
Speaker 2: NFL Hall of Famer doctor Drew Brees on the Cadno
Speaker 2: and Rich Show and for DP. Clearly things worked out
Speaker 2: for you, Drew. But uh, I've heard you say once
Speaker 2: that you you almost chose baseball over football. And speaking
Speaker 2: of multi sports, you ever think about like what that
Speaker 2: could have been some alternate timeline where like there's got
Speaker 2: to be that competitive side of you that was like, man,
Speaker 2: that would have been kind.
Speaker 7: Of cool, and that could have been the next King griff.
Speaker 14: Like Tarott I sat there for hours in front of
Speaker 14: the mirror, just like that kind of master, that King
Speaker 14: Griffy junior home run swing.
Speaker 7: You just kind of leave the bat back here, you know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you ever take BP by the way to see
Speaker 2: if you still got it?
Speaker 3: You ever use your connection to be let me take
Speaker 3: some VP.
Speaker 7: Absolutely absolutely still like you'll take one.
Speaker 14: I'll take one out over the right maybe not right center,
Speaker 14: definitely right field line any day.
Speaker 3: Can we see your best griffy swing. Still got it?
Speaker 3: You still got it?
Speaker 7: Ye? Yeah again again. I'm kind of bent down here.
Speaker 3: But it's the finish, Yeah, the finish.
Speaker 7: It's the swing and then you just kind of finished there.
Speaker 3: I know that.
Speaker 7: And then the bat.
Speaker 14: The bat just drops like we don't need to toss it,
Speaker 14: you know, we we just it's it's a mic drop,
Speaker 14: is what it is.
Speaker 7: It's just boll. I knew that was gonna happen. Mic drop.
Speaker 2: And we all do that playing whiffle ball. You know,
Speaker 2: we all did the same thing. I love that Drew Brees,
Speaker 2: you know, speaking of doing that in front of the mirror.
Speaker 2: The gold jacket, Man, do you look at yourself in
Speaker 2: that thro some dance moves out? Do you wear it
Speaker 2: around the house, like, tell us about it?
Speaker 3: Where where is it? And uh, how do you feel
Speaker 3: putting it on?
Speaker 7: I don't know, it's like sacred, you know what I mean.
Speaker 7: I had it on there. I obviously brought brought it
Speaker 7: home with me and it's it's sitting in my clause.
Speaker 14: I just I kind of look at it right now.
Speaker 14: I'm like, man, is that real? Like that that whole
Speaker 14: week really happened. It's still it's still pretty surreal.
Speaker 2: So it's just right up there in your closet with
Speaker 2: like your Henley's and a few sweaters.
Speaker 7: Right right next to the quartersztips. You know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 7: we heard that's got its own little special section.
Speaker 2: We heard a Joe Flacco on quarterback talked about how
Speaker 2: a lot of these trophies and things you think you'd
Speaker 2: put in like some cool like man cave or room
Speaker 2: or something, but they just sit somewhere. Are your accolades
Speaker 2: displayed or do you just have them sort of sitting somewhere.
Speaker 14: So actually I have an office where I put them
Speaker 14: in there, but honestly, the door stays closed, and it's.
Speaker 7: Just it's it's more, it's more so just to have
Speaker 7: a place to to keep them.
Speaker 14: I don't I don't walk in there and look at
Speaker 14: it to like give myself motivation or anything. You know,
Speaker 14: you know, they're just they're they're just there.
Speaker 2: I want to take you back to to a moment
Speaker 2: that I think we all remember.
Speaker 3: Like I said, like it was yesterday your final game.
Speaker 2: When you look back, is that like something because you
Speaker 2: did that so you could take in the moment. Do
Speaker 2: you remember that moment when you stopped by the tunnel
Speaker 2: turned around and looked everyone felt that moment with you.
Speaker 14: Yeah, well you know the bumber was it was COVID right,
Speaker 14: So no.
Speaker 7: No fans are in the stands, and you.
Speaker 14: Know, look, I I I knew, I knew that was
Speaker 14: you know, that was my last season.
Speaker 7: You know I knew that going into it, and you
Speaker 7: just you know, it was.
Speaker 14: That that last time with the Saints uniform on, you know,
Speaker 14: and and that that glance. I mean, I wish I
Speaker 14: could have spent more time just taking it in, but
Speaker 14: you know, obviously wish there would have been fans in
Speaker 14: the stands to be able to to share that with Yeah.
Speaker 2: Drew Brees joining us with direc TV for business Sunday Ticket,
Speaker 2: NFL red Zone. Let me ask you how you watch
Speaker 2: If we're gonna be talking some Sunday Ticket and red Zone.
Speaker 2: I'm a multiple games on multiple TVs. Covino's a red
Speaker 2: zone guy. How how does Drew Brees prefer to watch
Speaker 2: his Sunday football?
Speaker 14: No, I want to watch like if there is if
Speaker 14: there is a key matchup, a key game, like we said, man,
Speaker 14: two great quarterbacks, Like I just want to lock in
Speaker 14: on that one game and I want to try to pick.
Speaker 14: I want to try to play the game with them, right,
Speaker 14: Like as if I'm under center and hey, I know
Speaker 14: that defense, I know that coordinator, I know my matchup,
Speaker 14: and so literally, as situations come up, I'm just kind
Speaker 14: of rehearsing, like, man, here's what I'm thinking, Here's what
Speaker 14: I'm doing.
Speaker 7: And then also you're just reacting to oh.
Speaker 14: Man, unbelievable play right or great scheme right, like I'm
Speaker 14: gonna steal that one.
Speaker 7: Put that one in the high school playbook.
Speaker 2: Is there a schemer system you've seen where you're like, oh, wow,
Speaker 2: I would have really excelled there, Like like my Niners.
Speaker 2: When you see Kyle Shanahan's type of offense rock party,
Speaker 2: I mean if he in his wildest dreams one day
Speaker 2: would be like a Drew Brees. But when you see
Speaker 2: what party does, You're like, oh, I could have really
Speaker 2: excelled there.
Speaker 7: Well, so first off, pretty amazing.
Speaker 14: You go back to what was that like twenty thirteen, fourteen,
Speaker 14: fifteen wash to Redskins when it was Shanahan, McVeigh, Mike Dangle.
Speaker 7: Uh, you had you had, you had a few.
Speaker 14: You know, the guys that are now head coaches coordinators
Speaker 14: play callers that are running probably one of the more
Speaker 14: creative schemes. You know, this kind of started with McVeigh
Speaker 14: going to the rams doing a lot of this kind
Speaker 14: of like speed motion, you know, changing passing strength really quickly,
Speaker 14: just like totally discombobulating defenses. How do you adjust to that?
Speaker 14: And so you know, Shanahan's taking it to another level
Speaker 14: with just their ability to run the football on the
Speaker 14: zone run scheme, but to create these angles and look,
Speaker 14: he's got these weapons like a kittle and a use
Speaker 14: check that are just as good in the blocking as
Speaker 14: they are in the past game. And then you know,
Speaker 14: Mike McDaniel, that's one of the more creative systems I've seen.
Speaker 14: I'm really interested to see it with Herbert here in
Speaker 14: uh In in with In with the Chargers, so man
Speaker 14: I and Lafleur as well, he was part of that staff.
Speaker 7: So like I like watching I like watching.
Speaker 14: Those schemes just because of what movement and motion does
Speaker 14: to defenses and how you can run all of your
Speaker 14: same schemes. But man, you've just given him like window
Speaker 14: dressing that just creates confusion. So that's what I really
Speaker 14: like watching.
Speaker 7: You know, those guys as as well.
Speaker 14: As as well as Sean Payton and look, Kellen Moore
Speaker 14: with the Saints. I'm actually I'm actually gonna go to
Speaker 14: Saints Cowboys practice today and see those guys go at it.
Speaker 14: So I'm excited to see that. Brian Schotenheimer is one
Speaker 14: of my great you know, mentor's friends. He's my quarterback
Speaker 14: coach with the San Diego Charters back in the day.
Speaker 14: He's doing a great job with Dak in Dallas, so yeah,
Speaker 14: I like watching all his offenses.
Speaker 2: Listen, man, we'll let you get out with you day. Thanks,
Speaker 2: thanks again to Direct TV, Thanks Agains to Drew Brees.
Speaker 2: Appreciate you, man and look forward to talking to you
Speaker 2: again soon. Drew Brees, Hall of Famer and doctor thank you.
Speaker 3: Thanks for your time.
Speaker 7: Drew, appreciate it all right, go Its good to see you.
Speaker 3: Take it man,
