When you got the kind of show that we do. (yells) (yells) - Giggity? - Sorry about that. Sorry about what? What happened? What do you mean? All the greats on this station start shows 10 to 15 minutes late. - I'm gonna make a promise to you guys. It's the promise. - Sorry. - That I will not be late again. That was important business. - Mm. What is this then? - Not as important business. - All right. Good to know. I'm gonna do them in a lot of you or do you guys want me to tell you the truth? - No, hit us with the truth, please. - You got another business that takes precedence to this business. - I know and a lot of times I'm away from it for about an hour or so a day. - No, listen. I got no excuses. It's my fault. It's not what I planned. I will be better. - All I can tell you guys is that I will be better. - Where's the iced coffee? - I don't know. - Where is it? - I swear to you, I don't have one. - Are you leaving kids in the car right now? 'Cause you know I'm gonna buy one in here. - No kids in the car. I wanna throw them across now. I left around eight today. I was trying to get to the house. I made a little bit of some waffles and stuff for the kids and went and ran around. I was stuck on... - Where is she? (laughing) - On Santa Fe and 4/17. There's just down to one lane. It's a disaster over there. - I haven't gone through there in eight months when they started that junk. - That bull junk. - I had to be right in the middle of Bix Auto. It's a collision spot. - Brought to you, bam. - It's Bix Auto. Those guys are great. - Get 'em? - We're working on a couple things. - Nice. - They're great people, great guys. They've been around, that's a family institution. They remember when County Line was a dirt road. We are Mile High Sports. (screaming) - Nice. - Remember that? - You got any literally you wanna talk about or anything like... - Yeah, JJ did a wiffle ball tournament in Thornton. - Nice. - Flight against our one of our rivals Cooper and the Snyder's. They went to the final four. And this was a 13 year old, 'cause there was no more spots. They had to play in the 13. So land and JJ Carter and two other dudes went. It was like a whole day. The kids were an hour. - How many guys on a team? Like nine? - Minimum of four, they had five. You know, you could have just four players. It was just a little field to a pitcher and two outfielders and you rotate in. - It's just a little field. - You know, if you get the ball to home plate, I'm sorry, home plate. If you get the ball to the mound, that's an out before it gets to the first. - Got it, okay. - That's sweet, that was my first question. - And then you can peg, peg them. - Go strongers? - That's a pegging you guys are thinking of, per se. But you could throw the ball at them. - Pitted. - That's pretty good. - And then I was like, koop, koop pla. - But other than that, yeah, it was fun. It was all day though. It was literally like we went to a real tournament. We were there from eight till about four o'clock. That's too much woofle ball. - Yeah, that's a little one. - That's way too much woofle ball. - I think about an hour and a half of woofle balls about all you need. Did you ever play growing up in the hood with your boys? - Absolutely. - We had a couple really unique home fields. One was in the back of Lane's house. - Yeah. - Where we had it. - A low and patio. So you had to throw the ball hard and low. And if you got it passed out of, and it was made to hit it right line drives. Me, Nick Poidock, R.I.P. - Sure. - Love Nick Poidock. - Love Nick. - And then Lane Reagan who, you know, we have families and all this kind of stuff now. But Lane was as good a friend as I ever had in my life for a long time, you know. When I was a young kid, he's a good man. He's a good, good guy. - The gersh is when we grew up in the rough streets of St. Paul, Minnesota, we would play, we would play stick ball on the streets, right? Stick ball with the tennis ball and like a broom handle. And we would just use the four corners of the intersection as our bases. - Yeah. - That was fun. And you could rip the tennis ball. But me and my little brother, there was a stretch there about two summers where we were just playing one-on-one wiffle ball. - That's cool. - We had rules, right? We had a three ring binder with stats. He was the Seattle Mariners. Who doesn't love Ken Griffey Jr. - Or Jay Booner. - Two. - Martinez. - Yeah. - The list goes on. I was Eric Davis in the Cincinnati Reds. Maybe had something to do with Chris Sabo wearing those rec specs like I used to wear back in the day too. - You're gonna mention Barry Larkin in this whole conversation. - Of course, I'm gonna marry, mention Barry Larkin. I might marry Barry Larkin. And we had like hardcore stats. We were, after each inning, we would be putting hits and runs down. And man, you know, the one of the-- - I can't tell if that's nerdy. - The four panels of-- - Or Dorky. - A garage door made for one panel made a strike zone two a bunch of times. - Did they have that thing where if they hit it? - They hit the ball across the street. It's a homo, bro. - It was a strike that they had the thing behind home plate. - Yeah. - Yeah. - It was just a square plastic thing. You have to hit it. - Is it nerdy or dorky? First of all, is what we were doing, nerdy or dorky? - I think-- - Even stats. - Oh. - You can only pick one. - I think Advanced, Stanilidix is a-- - So nerdy. - You guys were, you should have bought Bitcoin. You were going down that road. I don't know what happened, probably chicks and boobs got in the way and stuff like that. - Yo, my little brother thinks he's a GM. I mean, no matter the sport. He's like, hey, you know, the dead cap, right? That's going to hit you back. You might want to just get rid of that before his fifth year option comes into play. You know, by the way, if you trade him and the player makes some plays, you got a compensatory pick out of the deal. Think about a third round compensatory right now. See so, Lammy. - I'm not a numbers guy, but that doesn't seem to add up. - Would you rather be known as dorky or nerdy? - You. - Not dorky, nerdy. - Nerdy. - Not dorky. - Not dorky. There's not a comeback for dork. - Really? - Chicks and dorks don't go together. Nerds can go with chicks. - Right. I mean, have you seen Revenge of the Nerds? - I have. - He takes off the Darth Vader helmet and gets like the hottest chick. - I think they're talking about us, Jeffrey. - But no, yeah, nerds can go on to be successful. Dorks? - I don't know. - I don't know, man. - Okay. Would you rather be normal or weird? - Have you heard the word weird, where it's been getting tossed around a lot lately? Weird. - Weird. Not weird. I'd rather be normal than weird. - You'd rather be normal than weird. - Yeah. - What even is normal nowadays? - Pretty weird. - I feel like-- - I'd say normal is pretty weird. - The weird stuff's getting normal. - Yeah. - And the normal stuff's getting weird-alized. - So do we go over a break? - As usual. - As usual. - Long time. - As usual. Okay. Let's go to break now. Come back. Training camp. You guys went on Friday. I want to recap. - What do you want to recap? - Not now, though. I think we should do it on the other side. - The other side. Smelly Sports. Danny Williams, Jeff Gersh. Alex Becker. I love this song. - Yeah. - No, this is the cardigan. - Yeah! - It's the cardigans of the cranberries and the flash. - K.T. Chunstone. - And your cool headliner. - This one hits. This song hits in a different way. - Every time. - This is different. - Feral. - It makes it leads you on to think this is Gwen Stefani. It's not Gwen Stefani. You've done that before. It is not Gwen Stefani. Turn up a little bit. - Love me. Love me. Say that you love me. Fool me. Fool me. Come on, Shaggy. - Hey, big shout out to my new best friend, Haroon. Haroon. Haroon and I. We went golfing on Friday and now we're best friends. Damn. You're like Jay Jay, hang out with one kid like one hour of Lord of your life. He's like my third best friend of my life next to George and I don't know, Chase. It was the Gersh Haroonie and Mooney show and it was brought to you by LP. She was a nice little golfer. - Let's go to break back and forth some. The other side again. It's my sports. Honestly, I had to sprint in London and spent my nights awake. Yeah. It sounds like everything I'm supposed to like. If this is rock, I don't want to be right. I'm back. We're back. Hey, can I give a quick shout out? Of course you can. To the Silver Fox at Camp Timberline. I just dropped my kids off at Camp Timberline yesterday for a week long sleep away camp. Is that Hobbit camp again? It's even better. It's a sports. It's Christian. It's sports. It's mountain. It's my God. It's an awesome God. It's everything you ever would have loved. Last year, when I was checking into the camp, I was wearing the golf shirt that I got from the PGA with Danny Williams, Beth Page Black. Yeah. - You'll be alright. - And the guy goes. - You'll be okay. - Jeff, this is an extra large. Do you guys have any larges? Like anything in a large and Jeff goes, this guy tells Jeff, you'll be alright. - One of my best fitting shirts now. So you know what? I want to thank that guy for giving me the confidence I needed. I'll never forget that. So the silver fox looks at the shirt and he tells me that Wyndham Clark was once a camper at camp timber. - Wow. - So fast forward. Do we have a fast forward noise? - Yes, sorry. - Fast forward one year later, no, we got to go up. - Yeah. - So fast forward to one year later, silver fox is greeting everyone at the gates like he does, greeting everyone at the gates and I go, silver fox, we're back. I got a gift for you and I pulled out of my backseat. I pulled out a magazine, mile high sports magazine, Wyndham Clark on the cover. - Was it pumped? - He was stoked. - Sweet. - He said, this looks like a real nice magazine. I go, let me know if you want any commercials. - You say it's like a real. - I'll give him. - I'll give him to you for free. - Geez. It's a. - Anyway, spig shout out, camper like bro. - Peace. Love and family. - It's second to none in that place. - Okay, cool. That's sweet. - Yeah. - That's all I had to say. - Training camp, Alex. What did we miss over the weekend? - Well, tell us about Friday. - We were in there. - We were in Shelley things today. We went. G.I. G.I. G.I. rolled in there. - Did Aylo go? - Aylo couldn't. He had some car issues, then he rolled in a little later, I guess. - Did Kyle go? - Yeah, but Kyle was trying to talk to Seagurs and Bree and all that behind trying to act like they're doing work and stuff like that. G.I. and I just had in the grass and chilled. Where does Bree sit? They don't sit anywhere. They go and stand and stand the whole time. - With credentials on? - No. That's why they're standing with regular people. - Shoot. - I ain't got no ring. She doesn't do a show here anymore? - Nah. She's Mrs. Radio. She'd like to get back on the radio. - Oh, yeah? - Yeah. - Did she say hi to me too? - Yeah, she said say what's up to Jeff for me. - Hey. Hey Bree. I miss you too. - She said. - And Alex Becker too. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Mm-hmm. - Okay. - How was that on Friday? - I was on Friday. It was cool. They were banging in each other for a little bit. We barely got to see each quarterback make a few throws and then they were working on a lot of special team stuff. - Did Bonix do an interception? - No, when I was there, I don't think, but, you know, no one cares. All anyone cares about there is Bonix. You know, Stidham could throw like, you know, "Oh, great job, Sid. I'm okay. Give it back to Nix. I'll see Nix again." More Nix. - Right. - I need Nix. - And you think, what did you see of Nix? - He looks the part. - Is he tall or small? - He's good sized. He looks the part. He's the view. I got to see him next to, you know, Patrick Momes after like a post game handshake bro thing. You know what I mean? Like, "Hey, you know, keep your head up, kid. If you need anything, let me know." Thanks, Pat. - What was that? - I need to see that. - Oh, you need to see that? - We haven't seen that yet. Until I see that, I can't measure him up against another stature of the man such as Josh Allen. So it's showing a 6.2 height for Bonix. - Okay. - Momes is only 6.2. - Momes also only 6.2. - Maybe 6.1. - Well, that's the thing I was going to ask you next. Is that a true 6.2 or is that a 6.2? - Brady was the only 6.5 guy that ever like made sense and looked at it. And you know, that's why that was weird. When I was like a denier of Brady, well, Peyton, yeah, but still Brady, Peyton was an inch or two shorter than Tom. Tom was big. - I think it was the other way around. - Peyton was taller than Tom? - Yeah. - I don't think so. - 6.5 for Peyton Manning. - I got to look here. - Brady's like 6.3. I thought. - No, no, no, I got to-- - I'm on it, guys. 6.4 for Brady. - Got it. - It's on it. - 6.3 for JJ McCarthy. - Peyton. - Case you guys are wondering. - That's crazy. - Hey, I did offer my son once he turned 10, a gift of a lifetime. It's the same gift my dad gave me when I turned 10. It's a trip to anywhere you want to go. We're going to do a 10-year-old trip. And you know what? I think we finally hit it. I think we finally figured it out. - Hit it again. - Has a little bit to do with JJ McCarthy, too. Thoughts and prayers for number nine of the Vikings. Kind of right now, I'm praying that he gets the starting job. Because they play in New York. They play in New York for week one, the New York football giants. - Very close. - They're-- - Peyton's taller. - So where are you going? - We're going to go fly into Boston on Friday. You're not invited, by the way. - Oh. - Before you start to invite yourself and your son and two other kids, you're not invited. Sorry. Boston, for Fenway. - We had stuff that we can-- - And it's going to be the White Sox. So those tickets should be cheap. And then we're going to either train or drive to New York City, more or less flushing medals, go see a Mets game, and then spend the night over in New Jersey by the Giants football stadium and see a Vikings Giants season opener on Sunday. - Oh, are you taking the Van Wick? - I almost have to at this point. - I would advise you to take the Van Wick, and I'd also advise you not to drive through all of Manhattan, like you did that one time. - Man. - Just trust. You got to trust the organization. - Trust the maps. - You got to trust the maps. - Right. - That was a great fun drive. - Man. - I can't believe I didn't hit anything. - Me either. I couldn't believe it. I was just waiting for New York. - How many-- - It just felt like it was coming like. - Don't you feel like when you're in New York, though, like when you're in Manhattan-- - You don't have a wreck. - Man, no, that you got to run red lights. Like, you just got to do it. It's like, hey, what are you doing? He's just going to boot. Hey, look at him. - Hi. - Stupido. - Yeah. - All that. - And then we parked and randomly my wife just went into some laundromat and peed in a bucket pee like behind some things. - On the video, probably. Sorry. My wife come in here, I felt like I was in the middle of like a movie where my wife gets taken. - Yeah. - And then I become Liam Neeson. And then we're like, where is she? Oh, sorry. Sorry. - Yeah. - And the lady's like, nah, speak English. And I was like, man, may not be I got peepee or a wee wee? And she goes, wee wee. And I go, oh, wee wee. I didn't expect you were a peepee. She told me, peepee or wee wee. And he goes, what? - What? - It sounds like a video game. - That's sweet. - You think I can make that happen? Fenway? Matt's game is against Ellie daylight crews. So George has stoked about that. - What day is this? When is this? - I can't tell you. Cause then you're going to come and buy paper tickets. - That'd be sick if we just show it up. - They don't accept paper tickets in New York, Daniel. - So what's the first stadium we're going to? Fenway Park. - That'd be so sick. It's just JJ and I were there. - It's like. - You're like, where are you at? Where are you sitting at? - I'm just rolled in. You know how George and JJ would just be the greatest moment embrace of any friendships life. - That would be something. - You know how special that would be? - Yeah. That would be something. - Well, I invited my brother and his kid. And then George goes, Dad, I just kind of wanted to be you and me just going around. And I was like, Dad, I won't tell Danny and JJ you said that. - You want to have a catch? - Well, what I'm hoping for is that when we get to Fenway Park, we look up at the scoreboard and it says, "Go the distance." - He says pain. - He says pain. And I'm like, Danny's pain. And they're like, yeah, I'm just like, did you see that? And I'm like, what are you talking about to take me home? He goes, and then he goes, so what do you want? He goes, I want to go home and he goes, no. What do you want? Oh, oh. - Oh, a hot dog. - Yeah. - Oh, a hot dog. And a soda. - Anyway. - It's going to be magic. - It's going to be magic. It's going to be magical. We were trying to think-- I was maybe going to go Cooperstown to New York to see that new Joe Maurer bust. Yeah. We're going to Cooperstown to see the Joe Maurer bust. - For sure. Look. I have no disrespect. I might want to see Babe Ruth before I see Maurer or maybe like the Mick, you know, like Willie, maybe the-- - Willie Mays Hays? - Yeah. Maybe even Willie Mays Hays before Joe Maurer. - Well, Joe Maurer, I don't know if you know this, but he was the-- - He's a legend. - He's a legend in your-- - He's a legend in your-- - He's a legend in your story. - All of high school football. - Yeah. - He was the Gatorade National Player of the Year. I'm willing to put it out there that he might be the only guy who will get Gatorade National Player of the Year and be in the baseball hall of fame. - Okay. - So, does that make him special? - Yeah. He's special. - Mickey Manel didn't do that. - He's not more special than Mickey Manel. - And you know what? Homeboy did. He probably his best sport was basketball. - Well, one of my favorite sports of Joe Maurer's to watch was when he was getting all state and basketball a couple of back-to-back years there. Anyway, well, let's talk about Kennedy, guys. I'm sure there's a couple that we got a few ledges of Kennedy. - What's the one, Jones? - Eric Peers, Morgan Peers. Great Jones. We're the linebackers for the Redskins. He was a Nike athlete. He was sick for a few years. He was a Nike athlete. You know, he had a sponsorship deal with Nike back in the '90s and stuff when they weren't barely kind of just doing that, tying their names to, you know, badass athletes. I think when it came down to it, though, Fenway, the Green Monster, feel the dreams. It just overrides it. And then the question is, do I rent the car? Do we like take the train? - I wouldn't get involved. Get yourself a car. - I know. The trains. - You're right, not having a car when you're waiting for Uber's and another $50 Uber, all this stuff. - Another $50 Uber to go. - You don't want it. - 50 feet. You don't want it. - Okay. - Anyway, that weekend, Danny, is sometime in November, so definitely book that. - Okay. - Yeah. Check it out. Red Sox, White Sox. - Let's try this back game. - Yeah. - Huge. Wait a minute. It doesn't make sense. Let's go to break on time. - As usual. - World 303 through 1340, the Hotline as well as the text line. - Yeah. That's right. - Do you like these Sour Patch kids? I don't know. I never had grape. I like watermelon. - Yeah. The watermelon's good. I went with the grape. No one seems to like them that much. Hold on. The strawberry ones are good. I'm doing it. But AB, you want one of these? Toss me one. Ready? - Jello and I had a great rivalry and argument that transcended sports hot radio. - Transgender? - Sports talk radio? - When he said, "Grape is the best flavor." And I said, "Grape." - Grape! - Grape! - Cherry, everyone knows red or cherry is the best flavor. Chella believes it, but it's hard that grape is the best flavor. What about orange? What about orange? Fanta? Orange? You're glad you're not grape? You're really good today.

Ah, I think it's peak is supposed to be like men's basketball, gold medal kind of stuff. But they gotta get through Brazil first. Is that... Are you worried about that? - Brazil. - Um, Coach Kur is their athleticism. - I mean... - I mean... - Leandro Barbossa still playing? - They lost to Puerto Rico by 20 like a couple years ago. Remember that? Who did the US? - Yeah. - You remember that? Alex? - In '04? - Yeah, whatever. Didn't Puerto Rico beat him by like... - Yeah. That was like 20 years ago though. - Okay. - But they did. They did the year they got the bronze. - Never forget that. - Carlos Arroyo. - Really? - Hooped on him. - Yeah. - Oh yeah. - Carlos Boozer. - China has more gold medals than the USA right now. But we have 20 more medals than China in the next closest country, 20 more total medals. - Well, how do you measure winning? - Gold medals. - Yeah. - I don't care about. I mean, the silver is a really cool... - How many more golds do they have than the US? - Like two. - Like two. I thought it was really close. - I like... - It's super close. - Oh yeah. - Yeah. - That's it. You know, we got to wear America. We got to have the most gold medals. - That race is like a toy guy. - But China's got... They're sweet too. - They're... - You know? - How many gold medals does Russia have? - Ew. - Do they have any? - Ew. - You point... - Are they... - They're just participating, right? - They're not allowed. - In some sports, are they? - I think Belarus and Russia... - Russia, yeah. - Are not allowed. Belarus and Russia are not allowed. But if you... - Zero... Point. Zero. - If you've shown no allegiance to the war, then you can play for like... - A different... - It's like a different... - So Russia was like... I'd have to be somebody as old as hell. - Yeah. - But Russia was as powerful as a nation as America at their peak. Is that what I was... I might let that... - That could have been propaganda too. - I'd let to believe that, Mother Russia was as powerful as America at its peak. I just can't bring myself to believe it. - No. - What a fall from grace. - No. - Russia should be like Japan and China, like a superpower technology, just like all the land, all the countries, they got scared, all that kind of stuff they could be. Oh, they could be... They could be it. - Man. - Man. - And what happened? - Did Palestine... - Do you have Theo Epstein running Russia? - Theo Epstein was running Russia, who's one of his... - Elon Musk. - John Lynch and Shanahan. - Russia would be winning ships. - Dang. - Maybe Russia should consider bringing John Lynch on board. - I would. - I would. - You know how you're hiring agents to now run teams and stuff? - Right. - I was Russia. I'd look at one of these NBA... - Ooh, Rich Paul? Bingo. - I thought you were going to say... - Bingo. - Plus sports. - Beautiful. - Yeah. - Right. - Or like JZ sports. - La Melo's dad. - LeVar? - He never lost. - He never lost. - That's kind of something Russia would do. - That's the big ball. - Probably. - Yeah. - Russia's gonna go with big ball. - They were like, we're either gonna go with... - Big ballers. - Rich Paul or LeVar Ball. - Damn. - And I could just rap about that right now. - I can't... I'm confused by Russia 'cause... I don't know. Forget it. - They're not in it. - I'm over it. - They're out. - Yeah, they're out. - 'Cause they got a board going on. - Brought to you by... America Weapons. - Stark? - Stark Industries? - Stark Industries? - Stark Industries? - How's the Ukraine doing? Are they winning the medals? - Ah, Ukraine. - Um... - Ukraine winning medals, yeah. - Yeah. - That's kind of the... - But we used the medals for wars. - Two golds? - Yeah. - Two golds? Not bad. - Ow! - Seven total for the uke. - Are we still rooting for Ukraine? - Ooh, I don't know. - Do you stand with Ukraine? - I... - I did. - I've been standing for a long time. - But then I heard they're... - I heard their king guy was an actor comedian. So... - Right, Zelensky threw me off a little bit. - A lot of twist. - Jeez. - They make all the best biomes. - I didn't see that one coming. - I mean... - That's the main character. - Women loved him. - Shoot. - Um, that's a good break. Come back. - Good politics talk there. That was fun. - That's what I thought too. It was pretty good. - Yeah, but good. - Send that to Ross. Ross Kaminsky. - Send that one to... - Mandy. - Oh, did you... I did get on Mandy Connell's tweet. - Uh-oh. - Yeah, Mandy Connell was like... I got captioned this. And it was the pole vaulter with the shlong, the size of... - Yeah, the wiener hit the pole. - Yeah, and so... I hit Mandy Connell with... - Hate to see it. - He was not the big winner because of the big wiener. Hashtag me too. - Good one. - Yeah. - I get it. - Yeah. - I guess what Mandy Connell did. - Reddit. - Absolutely loved it. - You literally loved it. - Thanks Mandy. I love you too. - Thank you. - I'll be your A-rod anytime. - Are you playing all my favorite songs today? - Yeah. - Turn it out. - So like I got disqualified for using two poles. - Whoa! - Because he's so... - Up in the other pole. - It is wiener against the pole. - Man. What a like conundrum there, you know. You don't get to win a medal, but you're known across the world for having one of the greatest kickstands of all time. - Man. - Lot of new female fans on the Instagram, I'm sure. - Oh, I bet. - He didn't win anyway. - He didn't win, but... - Man. - He didn't win. - Did you like that hashtag #MeToo at the end there? - That was a good one. - Really tied it up with a T-bow there. - This is a towel back, man. - Yes. - Yeah. - Of course it is. - Yeah. - Danny Jeff and Alex. - Let's finish this bad boy strong. - Let's... - The top is put the choppy down. - Down. - Now for some closers, only it's my support. - Kyle, was it closer? - Come on. - She's perfect as she can be. Why should I even bother? - Come on. - He wasn't me. - Hey, she's so kind. - Oh, nice person. - ♪ I love me ♪ ♪ She's so lovely ♪ ♪ She's so high ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ - That's life. - That's life. - That's what all the people say. - So, man, the guy we have on hold here, Mike Grootman, he's every concert. Mike, are you there? Can you hear me? - Oh, yeah, absolutely. - Give me someone who you have not seen, and then give me, like, two or three guys, so people would be like, "Wow, I saw him." My claim to fame is seeing Michael Jackson at McNichols. That's my claim to fame. - If you're alive, I've seen him. Pretty much my list of having scenes is Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, and Jimmy Hendrix. - Wow. Have you seen Frank Sinatra? - Okay, and Frank Sinatra. - Well, that's life. That's life. That's what all the people say. - Who do my favorite show? We added over the weekend. It was food fighters at the stadium. - Dude, I'm, yeah, I'm kind of jelly if everyone that was there. - How is that? - Food fighters are so good. - Two hours and 50 minutes of off to the mist, plus the pretenders, plus Wolfgang Van Halend, and Wolfie actually came on stage with the food fighters and jammed in one song. So it was spectacular. - That's cool. - I've been doing it for like 35 years, but I'm not concert jaded yet. - Yeah, so let's talk about the show. The show is, we're in the, like, the eve of the week of having your chance to see Alan Iverson. At the Rocky Mountain Card Spectacular. This is a new show, but I know it's going to be so big. People are going to be thinking this is like the circuit show. - Yeah. - So tell me your expectations. Tell people how, you know, it's 10 bucks to get in, a Gold Crown Field House, and it's going to be great. - Well, I think we're done. Yeah, you guys covered it. We're great. - No, no, you're good. - You tell us. - So this Saturday, it's Saturday and Sunday. It's $10 to get in, but if you find one of our posts and share it, and show us that you shared it before Friday night, that you're going to be there and what's going to be happening. We'll let you in for just $5. We have one of the most impressive autographed lineups that we have had in Denver at some time. Alan Iverson is doing his first card show in Denver. He'll be signing this Saturday at 1.30. And then we have the, two of my favorite nuggets of all time. They're going to be signing at 11.30 on, excuse me, 11 o'clock on Saturday. That's going to be Fat Lever and Alex English. A couple guys who were there when I started, and meeting them is incredible. You will not be let down. In fact, you will like them more when you meet them. Rod Smith will be signing on Saturday as well. That's going to be at noon. Rod is, you know what? Rod is Rod. I think there's no further explanation. - Yeah, Rod. He's a man of the people. He's an ambassador. - He really is. Same thing. Just like Fat and Alex, when you meet them, you're just going to feel better. And maybe he'll surprise us and bring some of his Super Bowl rings. He's brought him to signings in the past, and that's just awesome to see. And we also have UFC fighter Corey Sandhagen as well. He went for a title this weekend and fortunately finished second in a five round decision. But for our UFC fans, he'll be signing this Saturday as well. - And what time do you start autographing, Mike? Are you putting any Johnny Hancock's out there on any? - My autograph is only worth something out of check. And if you make it to Mike Stadium's sports cards, we're always buying cards. And I'd be glad to write you a check for your cards. - RM cardspectacular.com is the website. You can get all the info there. You know, Mike and Ryan from Big Horn autographs coming together for this banger show. Great lineup. It's going to be really good. - You know what I like about this one, too, Danny? A lot of them are on the east side. But this one's got some west side pride to it. - There are us three. - In Colorado at the Gold Crown Foundation. It's going to be classy. Every show is on the east side. - No doubt. - It's only 10 minutes from downtown. It's the Gold Crown basketball courts. A lot of people have gone through there. The kids have played basketball there. If you haven't been there before, please check out where the Gold Crown basketball courts are. Or we have a map for it on the RM cardspectacular.com site. - Mike, we got to go. - All the people are talking about this, Alan Iverson. All my people. Kelly called in last week. She's fired up. Java. You know Java's trying to get in there. - I do know Java's trying to get in there. - Listen, Java's at all the sightings. Java's trying to get in there. All the Mike signings, if Mike knew who Java was, he would know him by face. He's been here. He gets all the guys. And Mike is lucky enough to bring all those guys into the shop and now bring them to this big show. So let's catch up later in the week. Mike, okay? - Absolutely. Thank you both so very much. - Of course. Thanks, buddy. - What a legend. - Bye. I think when I grow up, I want to be Mike from Mike Stadium's sports cards. He's had a good man. When I was a kid going to Mike's, Mike had video games, a couple of video games in his store, which was not far from his original store. And they're up until 10 o'clock. And Mike was up until 10 o'clock just probably about like five or six years ago. So he just kind of didn't need to be up until 10 o'clock anymore. But imagine being able to go to a card shop at, you know, until 10 o'clock. And, you know, he's playing a little Reggie Jackson baseball in this original saga. - We're talking baseball. - Mm-hmm. So because we started like 12 minutes late, we get to go 12 minutes into Gil's show. - Yeah. - Well, how about we just go until Gil wakes up? - Well, let's just go until he skips in. - Cool. What's that Skype music noise? - It's like... (mimics music) (laughing) - Okay, Alex, what did we leave on the cutting room floor? What did Eric close with today? - Well, this is not what Eric close with, but the Broncos have informed Caden Stearns that they will release him. So it looks like Stearns is out. - Wow, that's big news. - Yeah. Yeah, never really materialized with the Broncos. And a lot of promise there, but not surprising. - Not with the signing of Brandon Jones. - Not from Sean Payton's decision. He was not a Sean Payton guy. - Right. He was gonna be a backup anyway behind PJ Lock and Brandon Jones. But that is noteworthy. Seemed like he was a hit injury, he's really did him in. - Yeah. - So a bummer there from Caden Stearns. - Does that open the door for Simmons to come in, or has he got a squad yet? Did I miss anything? Is Simmons still squadless? - Squadless. - I think if you cut Samaje P. Ryan who probably makes like three or four million bucks a year, he can bring back Simmons. - I guess I could. - Would you? - Yeah. Simmons can still play. That's no question there. It's not like we're not sure if he can play. He just doesn't want to play for the money that the league is offering him right now. He thinks he's worth more. - Yeah. I mean, I just think with him bringing in Jones and then resigning Lock, they were definitely counting on those two to start. But I can't remember a guy going this deep in the training camp without being signed with as much talent as Justin Simmons has. It's pretty wild. - I don't get it. - Yeah. - Right. That's it. That's the whole show. We will be back tomorrow. We appreciate you guys rolling with us. Let's see. Hit us tomorrow. The interaction with participation. It's all good. Always. My bad. I was running late today and it won't happen again. But I did like all those funny things that Alex played too. - You do like the sound of your own voice. That's for sure. - It's just funny stuff. It could be anyone's per se, you know. It could be anyone's voice. But if you're really funny and good like that, I'm going to enjoy it. - You're not like about yours. You're not into funny stuff. - I am funny stuff. - Per se. - But if you were into funny stuff, you'd be saying stuff that I see. - Well, you're pretty funny too. Thank you. Is that your face? Is that the face? - But making people think I got a lazy eye. Just a stick. - For Alex Becker and Jeff Dersch, I am Danny Williams. Gills next. - Per se. - We appreciate you guys and we love you guys. Good night, Sheila. - I'll never forget this Monday. - Thank you, Sheila. - Bye, Terry. - Bye, Sheila. - Bye, Terry. - Bye, Terry. - All right, now, whatever. - Bye, Sheila. - See you, Terry. - Bye, Sheila. - Bye, Terry. - Bye, Sheila. ♪ It's talkin' real record ♪ ♪ Stop me ♪ ♪ I dop this ♪ ♪ It's talkin' real record ♪ ♪ Stop me ♪ ♪ I dop this ♪
