And we're going to start with-- let's start with Benoit. Hello, Benoit. Hello. Are you ready to play? I'm all ready. All right, here we go. Question number one. Who is the starting quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts? [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, yeah, Anthony Richardson? Anthony Richardson is correct. He's on my fantasy. Me, too. I love Anthony Richardson. I think he's going to be a good quarterback for years too. He's a good fantasy quarterback at this point, whether he's ever a good quarterback quarterback. He's still in question. He's been a little under 500 so far, but he's got some skills. He's got some skills. Yeah. All right, here we go. Question number two. [MUSIC PLAYING] From 2014 to 2019, Mookie Betts' 65 home runs at Fenway Park led all players. Since Mookie has left the Red Sox, who's hit the most home runs? What year did you leave? 2019. Keep it. Is it hot for you at Fenway? Sorry, say it one more time. Who's hit the most home runs at Fenway Park since he left? Yes. At Fenway. Yeah. [MUSIC PLAYING] Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge, he's playing with an opponent. He does hit a lot of home runs. He does, he corrects. Yeah, I got to believe this is a Red Sox player, and the one I can think of in the recent years who's hit the most home runs is Devers. So I'll go with him, but-- Just a guess. [BELL RINGING] Sorry about that. Ben Wong, yeah. I thought you may go junior for-- I almost said Gail Devers, but Devers, she was a great-- She was a great sprinter from Sweetwater High, who went to the Olympics. OK. Way back in the day. So I always think of her when I see Rafael Devers' name, spelled the same. All right. Let's go to one. Hello, Juan. Hey, Juan. Hey, what's up, guys? Not too much. Here we go. Good luck to you. Question number one. [MUSIC PLAYING] How many wins do the Padres have right now? It's a difficult number one, I think. We talked about it earlier. 2, 82 is correct. It's a good one. That was good to say. No, we talked about it, but not everybody looks at the standings every morning. I don't. But 82 is correct. All right, here we go, Juan. Question number two. [MUSIC PLAYING] Uh, what are the two national sports of Canada? The Great North, as Chris called it earlier. Two national sports of Canada. I'll say it. I'll say hockey and curling. Hockey and curling. [MUSIC PLAYING] Stay there. Damn it. I know one's lacrosse. I don't know if the other one's curling or hockey. I'll say-- [MUSIC PLAYING] Oh, geez. He's going to be so upset. Let's say curling and lacrosse. Curling and lacrosse. Yes. [MUSIC PLAYING] You should have stuck with hockey. It was hockey and lacrosse. Good for you, good for you, Juan. All right, Juan. Here we go. Question number three. For the win. With this right, or Chris gets it wrong, and you're qualified for loss of any-- Sometimes I confuse myself. [MUSIC PLAYING] Say back then. Yeah. All right, in NFL history, what two players have the most NFL MVP awards? Basically, first and second. Who's first and second in the NFL MVP history? Winning MVP, winning multiple MVP awards, OK? I'll say Tom Brady. OK. And I'll go with Peyton Manning. Peyton Manning. Peyton. Manning and Brady. [BUZZER] Stay there. All right, I think that Aaron Rodgers is one of these. He's one for. So I'm going to go with Rodgers as one of my guesses. And surprisingly, because I believe he had a lot of MVP awards, I'm going to say Brett Favre is the other. [BUZZER] I'm stunned. I thought you knew this. I was sitting over the right buzzer. Who wasn't? I think you were-- [APPLAUSE] It was Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers. Stay right there. [INAUDIBLE] Uh, Peyton Manning had five. He did. And Aaron Rodgers had four. I didn't know Peyton Manning had five. I'm going to go see Tom Brady did not win that many. MVP won a lot of Super Bowl stuff. But, yeah, I'm very good. Let me see. Juan, stay on the line, man. Did he hang up? No, he's there. No, he's there. You're there. Good job, Juan. You win the Christopher's the fans today. A little brain cramp on this end of the phone. But not really. Those were good questions. I took my stab. Brett Favre won three. Yeah, Favre won a few. I didn't know Peyton won that many. I didn't realize this. But in 1997, there were two MVPs. Brett Favre and Barry Sanders. OK, they could have tied in the balloting. Oh, I guess you're right. It would make sense. Everybody votes for stuff. Yeah, Peyton Manning has five. I think what you should look up just for the hilarity of the NFL MVP award. Look up 1982. And tell me the name of the MVP award winner that year. Well, it says on this little chart of mine, the AP winner is Mark Mosley. Yes. Does it say what position he played? He's a place kicker. Kicker. Can you imagine a kicker winning MVP? No, but Dan Fouts was also honored in this year for PFWA and the Jim Thorpe trophy. The point is is Dan Fouts was easily the most valuable player in the NFL in 1982. But that year, Mark Mosley made like four or five game winning field goals in a row. And so they chose him as MVP of the entire league. That's crazy. It was a little crazy. I must tell you. It was really crazy, actually. Yes. You're talking about a Hall of Famer like Dan Fouts who's passing for 9,000 yards. And then you're going with a guy who kicked a couple of field goals. And Dan Fouts never won an MVP. Dan Fouts never won an MVP. So he got as a result, basically, because Mark Mosley stole it from him. Yeah, that's pretty insane. Sorry, Dan, but that's how that turned out. I'm sure Dan knows it. That's pretty insane, I have to say. I would think. Now it's all just quarterbacks. I mean, they chose a kicker these days. That means that kicker is making 60 yard field goals to win every week because I don't see a kicker ever being selected as the MVP again. Unless, you know, your guy and the kicker I love to hate right now, Moody makes six field goals a game for the rest of the season. You know, that would be 97. Well, that'd be 102 field goals. Might have to give the guy some, some voter to shoot. I guess so. Steve Young won it twice. I only remember him winning at once, but he won it twice, I guess. There you go. All right, trip down memory lane there. Juan is the winner of Chris vs. the fans. Morgan and Chris is on the way if we check a little traffic for-- He's better over here.

Chris Heller, Tony Glenn, Jr. in Seattle. It's where the Padres will be playing tonight. Do you know that? It's great. Take it on the Mariners. Oh, really? Are you aware of that? I just figured it out. Good for you. Thank you. Couple of things to get you caught up on. First of all, checking the scoreboard because it's that time of year. Padres could use a little help. They're not getting any Mets shook off a no hit bid by rookie Bowdoin Francis. This is the scoreboard music now. Thank you. Scored 6th and the 9th. Francisco Lindor's solo homer was the first hit of the game, led off the 9th inning. Mets went on to beat Toronto 6 to 2. Arizona crushed Texas 14-4. So we got no help there. And if you're looking for help from the Nationals, they're playing the Braves right now. 1-0 Nationals from the bottom of the third. Maybe we get a little help there, Scrape. Would take some more, please. Padres made a roster move today. Martine Perez goes to the paternity list. My guess is, since he was scheduled to pitch today originally, Michael King got moved up a day. And I would think Dylan C still get moved up to pitch Friday night when the Padres play in San Francisco. But Mike Schilt will square all of that away. In his pregame presser. Yes. Also, Luis Campusano sent to the minor leagues today. Brought up outfielder Brandon Lockridge. Thought we'd find out a little bit about this guy, Scrape. Yes, please. 27 years old, he was drafted in 2018. So he's been around a while in the minors. He was picked by the New York Yankees in the fifth round that year. And yeah, I'd have to look a bunch of stuff up to see how he got to the Padres and et cetera and all the transactions. But he, in 2024, in the minor leagues, two home runs, 45 RBIs. So there you go. He's had 340 at bats this year, to 306. Trying to see if he steals a base. 46 steals. There you go. That's why there's your guy. He's the Bryce Johnson. He might-- yeah, he's going to be your big, you know, pitch runner, guy, you know, after Tyler Wade got picked off the other day. Maybe they said, hey, we better get Brandon Lockridge into run for us. I always think, like, how do they decide that he's the guy this time, you know? He was at El Paso for the last 32 games. And for El Paso, two home runs, hit 325, 12 stolen bases. All right, so he's the guy, Brandon Lockridge. Of his-- let's see, he had 40 hits. 32 of them were singles, had six doubles and two homers. I don't think we're looking for a power guy out of him. We're not looking for Luis Arise, you know, reincarnated. Yeah, we're looking-- he seems like he's the pinch runner. There's your guy, Brandon Lockridge comes up. Camp Asano sent packing. Do we think we see him back on the team before the end of this year? Yeah. No. Yeah, I don't think so. There's not a lot of times. There's like two and a half weeks. Unless he goes down to El Paso and hits like 12 homers the next week, can't imagine they're going to like change their mind and bring him right back up and get rid of Diaz. I mean, fans have been calling for this move for a long time. So if you're out there, if you were one of those people, you must be happy today. Yeah, you know, there's people who don't like Camp Asano. I don't like it because I would much rather Camp Asano be good. So-- Yeah, I never understand rooting against the guy on my team. Seems like it's kind of a silly thing to do. All the Zander haters or a lot of people do that are gone. The Manny haters can't talk right now. A lot of people are rooting against guys on their own team. I don't get it. People wanted to trade Fernando. Well, we know that the reason the potters have lost three of their five last games is because Fernando's in line up. Yes. And I always play bad when Fernando's not, you know, on the roster, there are people that will try to make that art. They do make the arguments. Not even if they try. They make it. Well, as well when he's here, we lose. When he's not here, we win. I mean, I will give-- Don't give. The article-- Don't give. The argument is not true. The argument is just-- But the numbers are supporting it. It's-- and it's complete just-- and it's ironic. It's just no way-- it wasn't-- Alanis Morissette said, you know? Sometimes it rains on your rooting day. Yeah. It's ironic. A little too. Yeah. Ironic. I mean, you're going to-- OK, everybody who argues that the potteries are better off without Fernando Tatisse. Get up. Look yourself in the mirror for a moment, unless you're driving. And even if you're driving, you can glance into the rear view. But then put your eyes back on the road. And then put your eyes back on the road. But ask yourself this question while you're glancing at yourself. Would I rather have Bryce Johnson starting in right field tonight? Some people would say yes. They are not. They are not anybody would say that. You know, when I see Fernando hit three run home runs like he did last night, and then also make a good defensive play by throwing out-- who was it? Jorge Polanco at second base. How's it have a good play? A bell of a good play. Two game-changing plays right there. Polanco couldn't believe it. I mean, he thought, you know, he's clear for a double one now. I mean, did he not have the scouting report that Fernando has a good arm? It's not the good arm. It was the position he was in. He didn't, like, get to the ball and set. He scooped it up and then just kind of threw it on the run. You're not supposed to be able to do that from right center field unless you're extraordinarily talented. Like Fernando is. You got it. All right, let's take a break a little early here. Give us some time for the big five, which is jam-packed full of stuff. It's coming up next on Gwen and Chris. All right, welcome back to Gwen and Chris. Got a good question coming up in the big five from Strabe today. Manny Machado last night made some history at the 164th Padre home run to break the club record. Strabe asked Tony and I if Manny Machado has worked his way all the way up to the Mount Rushmore of Padre's. I think it's kind of interesting. Let's find out what we thought about it and other stuff in the big five. It's that time of the show when we check on the latest in sports, only the most important topics and questions are brought to light. Stop what you're doing and listen. These new stories will astound and amaze you. The one, the only. Oh my god, who the hell Kish? The big five starts now on 97th grade of fan. Well guys, I think it's only proper if we started the big five today. Number five. With this fires, Manny swings, hits it in the air to center field and deep Rodriguez is back. He will watch it's going to go home run history for Manny Machado. His 164th in a Padre uniform. Now the most prolific home run hitter in the history of the San Diego Padres. Really great call from Jesse Agler there and really fun moment for Padre's fans and a great job of laying out by the color journalists. True, we did not step on that. Call one bit. That is really well done people. Really well done as we've heard in the past. Yes. Cincinnati Bengals guy would have been losing his mind on that shot. Not this past Sunday. You can't step on that call. No, beautiful. You gotta let Jess do his thing and then let that breathe a little bit. That is really well done. Very fun moment in Padre history. And my question to you guys is very simple. Chris, is Manny Machado already on the Mount Rushmore of Padre's? Well, that's a, I think that's a very good question. Thank you. You know, I don't know that I would put him there quite yet. And here's why I would just say it like this. Nate Colbert wasn't on it necessarily, even though he was the home run record holder. Obviously Tony's dad is there. I think Dave Winfield has to be there. I think Randy Jones for what he brought. And you know, the four spot might be a little more up for grabs. Ken Kamineity was a shooting star for a moment. You know, there was some other saw young award winners in there. Jake Peevey was amazing. You know, but Manny's starting to get close. And you know what, maybe I start, I might start sharpening up the chisel a little bit. You know, I mean, this guy- Chris is gonna chisel his face out. Well, yeah. You know, look, we have come to, you know, finally appreciate him around here. We talked about yesterday where they'd get any MVP votes. And I don't think people will notice, but you know, he tells us every year, Tony, to just relax. It's gonna be there. 30 home runs, 100 RBIs, 270. I did not believe him this year, but I have to eat my, eat my complaints, just along with everybody else. He's been so consistently good. And the other thing that you can say, and we don't know where it's all gonna end up, in favor of Manny being in that last spot, is he was the guy, you know, Hosmer got him here to a certain extent. But once Manny got here, the Padres got a whole lot more legit in the minds of everybody else. And that's a big deal. - So Eric Hosmer is on the Mount Rushmore. - Yeah, right. - He didn't, he didn't. - Yes, yes. Tony is Manny Machado already on the Mount Rushmore of Padres. (upbeat music) - Thank you. - Wow. It's close. Are you still there? - He's, he's, I mean, he's knocking on the door, if he's not already. - Yeah. - The more I talked about it, the more I started talking him closer to it. - Yeah, I mean, 'cause he's had, he's been here since 19. It's 24 now, be it, you know, he's gonna be here for another, what, seven? They believe beyond this. I think he is, man. I think he's already on there. I mean, he's, he's passed the Homer, he's got the Homer crown. He's gonna continue to soar. I mean, after next season, he will have been here as long as he was in Baltimore. And so another, I can't, and listen, at this point, I can't, as a Padres, when he's been healthy, he's had nothing less than 85 RBIs. And nothing less than 16 homers. But he's gonna keep hitting these numbers every year. We talk about it pretty consistently. 30 to 90, 270, you know, he's gonna do it again this year. He's gonna probably have a hundred this year. So I'm gonna say he's already on there. And it's only, he's only going to get, have an opportunity, God willing, he stays healthy, to continue to elevate his status as a Padres. - Yeah, those are, those are Jake Peevey's fingernails trying to hang on as Tony is slipping him off the end there. - Sorry, Pee, sorry, Pee, he's already there. I think he's already, well, you start to also consider the Padres have been now, you know, they've been to the playoffs twice since he's been there after, from, from getting there. He's gotten up to a, an NLCS. And he's got a chance to thicken that resume here even more this year, so. - Also, he had a short season with the COVID season, so he could have many more home runs. - Well, the other three, that's why I had to throw that 16 in there because that came during the COVID season. - And if he does stay here another five or six years, he's gonna put the home run record out where no one's gonna get it for a long, long time. - Right. - Yeah, so. - All right, good conversation. - Fair point, there it was for. - Thank you. Kyle Van Neuoy, one of Chris' old favorite players, now plays for the Baltimore Ravens, and he had some not-so-great things to say about the Kansas City Chiefs training staff. He injured his eye during the NFL opener last Thursday, and on his podcast, which I really love this name, McCoy and Van Neuoy, which is Gerald McCoy, former Buccaneer and Kyle Van Neuoy. He described, what, oh, you know. - No, I said no, Gerald, yeah. - He described his experience with the Chiefs medical staff. - They took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room, which to me is unacceptable. 'Cause then you start thinking, you know, what if I was trying to go back in the game? What if I was, you know, really, really hurt? I know mine was having to be moderate, but it still was serious 'cause it's an eye. And, you know, especially the, there's people that were in there too, that one of the doctors or the friend of the doctor was in their double cup fisted, dot styrofoam cups, like everything was good. And I just felt like that was unprofessional. I understand how Kansas City, the players have given that training room an F because with my experience, I would have probably, after that, gave them an F too. - So I cut that down too because it was a longer rant. And I love the doctor with the purple drink in the corner. Like, what's going on over there? - You said double fisted. - Double fisted styrofoam cups makes you think of one thing. Like, you're drinking coating syrup or something. Anyway, Tony, you're up first on this one. If you're the Chiefs, how do you handle this? - I mean, what they should do is they should, you know, address their F ranking from their own players and add this to the mix so they can get better. I mean, it sounds like there's, although they have done a great job in bringing an incredible talent, they don't necessarily get good scores for taking care of that talent in terms of the medical and all those things. So I mean, it kind of lines up what we've kind of been privy to, a little bit of inside information we've been privy to, it kind of lines up with it. So, I mean, if I'm the Chiefs, I think you would want to address this and not continue to be looked at in that light, it only really benefits you. But they're having a lot of success despite this. So I don't know that there's going to be a change. - It is kind of wild that they have the worst training staff, but they're the best team year after year. Chris, what did the Chiefs do about this? - Well, yeah, first of all, what you guys are talking about is the report that came out last year. - Yes, the players report. - The players report. - Yeah, good point. - Yeah, right. That voted the Chiefs as one of the worst, if not the worst franchises in football. - In regards to how they take care of the player. - In regards to everything else, yes. I think they and the commanders were at the bottom of the list and the Chiefs were the Super Bowl champs and everyone was kind of raising an eye. So obviously, this is some of the stuff they're talking about. Before I get into my final answer though, I want to address my like of Kyle Van Neuys. I rooted for him when he played for the Dolphins. - This is Chris's issue. - However. - He went to BYU, right? - He went to BYU, so. - But you make him as a defense. - I don't like him at all. I rooted for him when he played for the Dolphins. That ended the day he left the Dolphins. So I'm not a big Kyle Van Neuys fan 'cause he's BYU all over. So I just wanted that cleared up. - Oh man. - But he does bring up a fair point in the sense that what if he wanted to get back into the game and needed some medical attention? What if that was Lamar Jackson? And the Chiefs' medicals are being slow to get and react. It's obviously keeping Lamar Jackson out of a game longer than maybe he would need to be. I think the National Football League needs to at least put a phone call into the Chiefs and say, what's going on here? Why are we not taking care of these opposing players the way your players, I'm assuming for the argument, the way your players would get taken care of if they were on the road? So I think it's important that somebody look into this. - Yeah, no, definitely-- - Cheaters? - Definitely overlooked that. - Yeah, it would piss me off if I'm sitting there waiting for the doctor and his friend is down here just double-distant. - He's serious. - Double-fistin' it up down here, just loud talkin' as I'm in here. - But my eye feelin' like it's about to fall out of this game. - The only thing I can think of though, in defense of the Kansas City doctor, maybe he's just not a BYU fan either. - Oh, is that what? - In that regard, I give him a pass. - Okay, he's like, hold on Mr. BYU, I'm busy over here. I'm busy over here. He's pushing stranger things or something. - That's right. - Number three. - Bryce's now with 39 doubles on the year. Oh, Castellanos is hit by the pitch and he is not happy. The benches are going to clear. Hart was already at the mounds. Castellanos has been hit a handful of times this week. Dusty Waffen comes over with Brandon Marsh to move Hart for a way. - I gotta say, if I'm ever in a street fight, I need Bryce Hart for around me at some point in time because he would be a great person to have on my team. - If there is a street fight, he will be around. One way or the other. - He'll be somewhere, yes. - But last night in the Phillies in Ray's game, there was a benches clearing incident as you just heard, and punishments have been handed down. Ray's pitcher Edwin Uceda got a three-game suspension and Kevin Cash, the manager of the Ray's, got suspended for one game. So Chris, should they have been suspended? - Well, every one of these is a little different has to be taken, I think, on its own. But watching the highlights that I watched, Harper had just rang a double off the fence and the Phillies were running away with the game. They were hitting line drives all over the ballpark. I think Trey Turner just hit a second home run. So to me, this hit batter was obviously intentional. I don't even think there's an argument that the Ray's can make other than that same old Maya Culpa of, I don't know, Uceda said he didn't mean to. I know what he said, but this one was an obvious one, Tony. You got to be a little more stealth than that. Home run, double, and then cleanup guy gets drilled right in the thigh, at least he didn't go up around the head, so I'll give him that. But I think a suspension was warranted, yes. - Tony, suspension warranted? - Absolutely, probably shouldn't be more, honestly. Here's a couple of thoughts that I had watching this video. Like my initial thought was, man, Bryce could clean that dude's clock. - He's really good at him. - He was running, and at first I interpreted it as, maybe Bryce didn't really want to smoke, right? But then I thought about it, and it was like, well, Bryce is probably the most important player on the team, and I know he knows that. And so then I thought about it in terms of, man, he could have cleaned his clock and he started thinking about the consequences of if he goes and takes his dude out, it's probably gonna be a big suspension. So, you know, and you're trying to get wrap up the best record in the league. Probably not ideal for you to get suspended, plus you can get hurt, right? So, yeah, I thought that was my first thought, like man, who said it was lucky that he had some sense to him, 'cause Bryce is on second base, and if you watch the video, he starts sprinting, and then he slows down right as he gets to the mound. It was almost as if he thought that through, like, man, - Second base to the mound is about the perfect amount of space you need to build up some steam. - That is, and no one can get to you. Like, the shortstop's off, the second baseman's off. You see the ball running, going towards your guy, and you see how it reacts. He, you could see in real time, if you go back and watch, he kind of thought that through, 'cause he could have, I mean, he could have closed-lined him from the back. It would have been the freest shot you would ever get in a baseball melee, but he chose better. But yeah, I think it should be for more. I mean, Chris is right, these dudes don't know these pieces. And you know, say this having a good year, he's pissed, 'cause he alright going up, they tagging him a little bit, right? And he let his emotions get away from him, man. - I'd like to see managers get more than a game sometimes. I mean, I think that's a slap on the wrist. As you said, Tony, Kevin Cash needs to have a little better control of the squad. - The manager and the player, both of them should get, then we'll be at more, and here's the other thing, and this goes back to what Maryfield was saying. Like, you know, these pitchers, and this is an American League team, so they wouldn't have had to worry about it, but if it was the old rules, he would have, right? I mean, this was in a National League park, he would have had to hit. And there was a time where, you know, if a pitcher did that, and everybody knew it was wrong, including his teammates, guess what? There was managers that was sitting at pitch, "Hey, no, we ain't pitch hitting for you, bro. You going up there, and you gonna have to wear this one?" That definitely used to happen, but-- - So that the rest of us don't have to pay for it? - Exactly, exactly, but that's no longer in the game, no more, so then you gotta, if you're gonna suspend, you gotta suspend that that hurts, right? I mean, a dude, you know, getting his dog versus, you know, seven, it might be a little bit different. You have to miss a week of baseball after you punk somebody. Castellanos could have missed a lot of time had that hit him-- - Right, that could have shipped, I mean, he could have shipped a bone, and he could have done anything right there, and it could have cost that team in a major way, just because you're in your feelings about, you know, getting smacked around a little bit. - It was a change-up, guys, I mean, what was even that for? - Whatever, whatever. - Change-up at '90s, '94, I don't think that's the softest change-up. - Yeah, it's Tanner Scott's change-up. The day that Woods goes out and finally hits a 100-mile-per-hour patch, which I think has been in the works for five years now, the day he does that, I'm gonna have you stand up there and take a 94-mile-per-hour pitch in the thigh. - I never see how that works. - See how that works. - Change-up? - It doesn't matter, if it's '94, it's not gonna feel too good. - Yeah, I could say 89 hertz in the thigh, so I know 94 all the time. - Yes, it does, better. - Right, I don't know if I already hit this, but-- - Number two. - Do it again. Now, we're done with these serious topics, and we got two topics that are kind of serious, but Purdue's student, Zach Spangler, has caused a lot of trouble for one indie and a car dealer. Now, I guess Purdue has these things at their home games, where if you kick a 40-yard field goal at halftime and you make it, it's a contest sponsored by the Roman Automotive Group, you get $250 in a two-year lease on a car from the dealer for making the field goal. - Wow. - Wasn't nearly as straightforward as it sounds, because Spangler was informed last week by the dealership that his kick came 0.005 seconds after the 30-second time limit expired on the contest. (laughing) - They skipped, we got out of it, wow. - And so the auto group says, and since his foot hit the ball fractions of seconds after the 30-second time limit expired, he wouldn't be getting the car lease. Here is a Roman auto group spokesperson, quote, our decision to not award him with the grand prize was not personal, but simply out of the principle and rules-based, you're disappointed that Zach was led to believe that he did accomplish the challenge, end quote. - That'll sound like something I would go for. - I guess so many questions, if you're a clock, what's a clock visible? - Kay, I'll let you in on that in a second. They ended up caving the automotive group, offered Zach either $5,000 cash or a two-year car lease. He chose the $5,000 cash. They are no longer requiring it to be within 30 seconds since it caused such a big deal. So, Tony, did the car dealer do the wrong thing? - Yeah, they totally were misleading. They got hit, they didn't think nobody would hit a 40 yard field goal. (laughing) And then someone did, and they tried to put it, but now was there a clock like going off? - I tried to look for this, but-- - You couldn't-- - I couldn't really-- - I didn't really believe that they had to have snuck this order, so it would have been a different deal, right? If they-- - Like 0.05 seconds, Tony. (laughing) - Get out of here, they didn't even clock, so they got the point 0.005. Get out of here. - Was this an NBA arena? - It was a good deal, per university, and the football stadium. - Yeah, that's hilarious. Yeah, no, I think they did the wrong thing, and clearly they figured that out because they did the right thing. - The local pressure got to them. - Chris? - I have a couple of things on this. First of all, congratulations to Zach Spangler. - Spangler, yeah. - I made a 40 yard field goal without hurting his kicking muscle. So that-- - We didn't know that. - You personally should be impressed by that. - I tried to make a 43 yard field goal. I think I would have made a 40 yard field goal because I came up just like one yard short. - Let's not do this, no kidding. - Here's the other thing. Here's the other thing that is not in the story that obviously happened here. Zach Spangler found out that they were gonna take his prize away and he immediately called my gambling friend Rocco. - Hi, Rocco Canyon. - They sent Rocco over to the dealership and he said, you guys better come straight and give my man his prize. - He's got like a tire iron in his hair. - That's right, that's right, they figured it out. Rocco makes an appearance two days in a row. - Two days for Rocco, yeah. - All right, I need Rocco, more Rocco. - We all need a Rocco. - All right, good for Zach Spangler. - Number one. - Now Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo revealed last week that she plans to keep the Olympic rings on the Eiffel Tower indefinitely. The proposal sparked outrage, something to its political posturing, but the family of Gustav Eiffel, the engineer who designed the tower in 1889, great, great granddaughter of Eiffel said this, quote, while the rings were celebrated on the Eiffel Tower during the games because the iconic moment was a central figure in the event, the rings were never part of its original design. The family will only allow the rings to remain until the end of this Olympic year. Chris, ring or no ring? - I'm bringing the rings down. - I am, I think it's fine. I mean, this is a whole, the Eiffel Towers is dope. Dismarish the Eiffel Tower right now. - I was gonna say, it's incredibly iconic. - Okay. - I mean, it's the one thing that everybody, you know, focuses in on when you go to one of you to be all outraged. - No. - I thought he was gonna be, no, I thought he was gonna be like, well-- - The Eiffel Tower is not that impressive. - I know, I love the Eiffel Tower because I've seen it. I walked under it several times. I think, no, I-- - Did you ever go up in it? - I did about three quarters of the way, but it was so crowded that we finally turned around and really-- - And went down. But no, I mean, you can have a lunch up there, the whole thing, but no, I think the Olympics was part of what happened there in Paris, and I liked, like, for instance, in LA, you know, they might've had some design on the Hollywood sign, or they may do it the next time it's in LA, but I don't think you keep it up, you know, for the next 30, 40 years after the Olympics leave. Yeah, I can understand people wanting the memory of the Olympics, but not forever and ever. So I agree with this, you know, there's gonna be other places in the city that, you know, are still iconic and kind of give you back memories, such as the Arc de Triomphe. - Whatever it is, usually the flame, right? - Oh, yeah. - Like a Colosseum in LA, right, where they lit the flame. That's been up there since 1932. So that's fine, no, not the rings. - Tony rings or no rings? - Only night in the tower is not really good. (laughing) - It's not that big of a blowup. (laughing) - No, they should definitely bring them down. I mean, it's meant to be up there for the time being, but yeah, I found it. - I just have an issue with the great, great, great granddaughter making decisions about what happens with the time of the tower. - You want to say he's great, you want to be bad at everything. - He hates anything familial. - Because it's the great, great, great, great. - She had zero to do with the actual tower. - But you actually don't want the Olympic rings to stay up to yourself. So it's just like you're so-- - She's making the right call. Whether you like it or not, she's making the right call. - When I wrote the question, I actually thought to myself, I want the rings to stay, but you guys convinced me that they should not stay because Chris's Hollywood sign was a great example. - Thank you for sure. - All right, game two, Mariners, Padres, Chris and I'll get you ready for it next on 973 The Fair.
