Welcome in. Thank you. Thank you for the applause. I wonder where the audience was. Maybe they were busy eating all of the pepperoni pizza because it is now gone. What? Who ate? I didn't mean it. I'm just, I mean, there were eight slices of pepperoni pizza. I took one. So there were seven left. She doesn't eat meat. Chris. I only had cheese today. He only had cheese. There are three other people here. How many slices of pepperoni did you have? Isaac? I'm on my second slice. He's hiding. Not three. Not four. Not five. Seriously. I think there were seven pieces of pepperoni. We don't think Bo had any. So there are seven pieces. Where did it go? What's the breakdown? Mike, why did you not get two? Because I always take one for everybody to get one. No, you were supposed to take two. Stop.

Full stop. No. Where? All right. How many? How many? Jason, how many slices of pepperoni did you have? Two. Two. Isaac? As I recall, I had two. So you're telling me three slices of pepperoni. I don't believe Isaac. Like magically. Is Patrick still here? Patrick in the back. Take him or like, there's this is this is this is why the pizza order is is so important. Mochi treated for pizza today. We got one pepperoni and one cheese. She's vegetarian. So you and Chris, somehow we are missing three slices of pepperoni. You know, here's a deal. I don't know who it was. I'm not sure who it was. If you've had two slices of pepperoni and you see that there's one left and there's five slices of cheese, take the slice of cheese. All right, you've had enough. You've had your fair share. This is absurd. There was a whole half of a cheese pie left. So there was a decision.

You saw one slice of pepperoni or you saw five cheese slices. And someone decided I'm going to take the last pepperoni. I don't want. I have one. I took the last one. I took the last pepperoni. So there are five pieces. You see there and you decided I'm going to take this last one and leave the rest for everyone else. So mystery solved. I took the last piece, but it was my second piece. I didn't I have a feeling he is his at least three. Maybe six pieces. Isaac, that's the that's that's the math. Ha. This is this is absurd. Not two, not three again. Not four. Not five. We had someone. That's six. During Lent. We had a half cheese pizza years ago at Fox Sports Radio where someone took two pieces of cheese immediately. Then we found out there was the Lent problem and the cheese was gone immediately and the people who were observing Lent were left out in the cold because someone grabbed all of the cheese. We then had an over correction with a former producer who ordered, I don't know,

six pizzas and three of them were cheese. It was it was crazy. I don't know why you would order that much cheese pizza and think that people are, oh, I'm just satisfied by getting a slice of cheese. No, it's its own deal. It's his own deal. It's separate and I don't understand. So now I got to and I appreciate you, Monty, in in purchasing this, but come on people. When we're at when we're in a workplace, it is not a all for one, one for all. It is, it should be a kind workplace portioned out. I've had two, you know what? I'll have one of the other ones. So, so excuse me. Are we saying that there's still some cheese pizza left out there? Yes, there is. Lots of it. Yes. Plenty. And Isaac, if you need to step away, go ahead. This is absurd to me. And I did not mean to start if you know and reach out like this. But I at one 59 local time, I said, Monty, all right, I got a break. Let me go and grab another slice of pizza. Thinking full well, it was going to be pepperoni. The box was closed. I opened it up and it lifted like a feather.

There was nothing else in there. There was a whole half a pie. And this is just, this is absurd. This is this hits on two things that Dan hates. It might be the two things that Dan hates the most in the world. A lack of workplace etiquette and cheese pizza. That's I agree. The hate for cheese pizza is unreal here, Dan. That you don't feel like you're having pizza, but just having a cheese slice. I feel like I'm settling. That's unreal to me. Like pizza, the best, that's pizza. The topping is not, that does it. Pizza is what you have on your plate. I have, I have zero complaints with you. No, you hate cheese pizza. Monty even got like the Parmesan and the crushed red pepper. And nothing is better on a cheese pizza. That's some good crushed red pepper. Try putting some nice pieces of pepperoni on that or some nice pieces of sausage. They're delicious. That's all I'm saying. The juices from those meats end up going on the pizza.

And by the way, we got a slight, we got a slim crew here today. We do. We do. So which is why I said, why didn't you grab two? Because it was, that's what I, because it was such a small crew to start. I was like, it's only us that I thought I was working with with normal people, not animals, not savages. I didn't think there were enough animals here. I don't know. I'm Ricky is here. I saw Ricky earlier. Maybe Ricky left Ricky dipped. He dipped. Unless he snuck back and I grabbed another one. I just, I can't believe it. I don't know how maybe Bo did have some. How five. That make it better. Pepperoni go missing. And and it's in Isaac Jason says he had two. I had one. So there's five slices. Yeah. I'm just, I can we get Bo Benson in here to find out if he ended up taking this. If Isaac ate five, that is impressive. That's a lot of pizza. I would never under-rest made like Isaac. Isaac loves food, but he loves free food. That is 100% true. I think he takes that the, the approach that if it's free, I'm going to have as much of it as possible.

You know, it's free. It's me. Goodness. Can somebody call the pizza place and just have them deliver some pepperoni so we can throw it on top of the, just your slice pizza. Because I think everybody else would be fine with just more cheese. It's not about the cheese. It seems. It's about the principle of it. This you ordered cheese because you're vegetarian. Right. And I paid. So I decided. Yes. And that's fine. And I think your order was spine, Monty. Yeah. I think it was for the amount of people. I think it was a, it was a good order. It was just the intentions were bad with whoever grabbed the multiple slices. I am now prepared to release my official statement on this matter. On the wing gate. Here it is. I understand. You can pass those questions. I can't speak about that. Well, Bill Bella check is on the side of Isaac Lowe and Cron wing gay with Jason Smith. Now we have pizza. Did we ever find out who was the culprit on wing gate? No, no, no, no, someone drank a half.

I oatmeal too. And nobody ever that never, that apparently never. I can guarantee you 100% it was not me. No, I, I just know I do not know. I am touching oat milk zero. No way. Not a six dollar carton of oat milk. Someone helped them to have it. Let's focus on the pepperoni pizza here. Let's focus. We're losing our focus. But when you're at a workplace, when someone treats, if you've had multiple pieces of pepperoni and you see that it's dwindling, you go to the other, you, you move to the next one. You don't just take it all for yourself. Bo had one pizza slice because if, in fact, it did look good. All right, pepperoni. Pepperoni one singular slice of pepperoni. All right, there's some more come out before accounted for. I had one you had two. He had one. Uh, I think it's died over there because now it's come down to the cousin denied. Any. No, he hasn't. He's behind his desk. He's brought up the Bella Jack. My goodness. All right, moving on. Are we? Are you ready to move on?

Sorry, I'm addressed. I feel I feel in a way where we've had a huge college football weekend, pen and races NFL is starting to start off on how someone ain't took. I don't care if they, they may not have eaten it. I don't know. Maybe they maybe they took it for later. I'm not sure. Maybe they took one on their way home, but it just the math is not mathing with me. And I think it's a common problem in the workplace. I'm not saying that I deserve more pepperoni than anyone else. I am saying I deserve the same amount of pepperoni as everyone else. And that is what that is what is under my skin. You left out the word free. I deserve as much free as everyone else. Well, I left it out because again, Monty treated. So I have no qualms with anything that Monty says because it was her decision. She paid. She treated. She got the toppings that she wanted. It's up to us knowing that there's a full pepperoni pizza for us to be able to decide.

And for some reason, we could not do that as a family. But one of the big issues with Lentgate, Lentgate was that maybe someone with the initials J R was being a little look the gift horse in the mouth. You know, I got I need my freestyle. I need more of my freestyle. So that's an angle here too. If we weren't going to let Ramos off the hook, we can't let you off the hook. Just it's not about the free. I had even offered to chip in. He sure did. Multiple times. He sure did. But this was my idea since the beginning. I texted. She texted me earlier today that we're going to get pizza. And I said, I'm completely down. So I was down for it. I should have said I was down for more than one slice of pepperoni. Maybe that would have changed. I'm not sure it would. But this is, this isn't uncommon. No, there was a time where the pizza, the cheese pizza was gone. And I was like, I thought y'all didn't like cheese pizza. This and that was the day I was left out of cheese pizza. And we've had this conversation before the, the right order, whether you're at Fox Sports Radio

or any workplace is you got to have a mix. No one wants a Hawaiian pizza. If you want a Hawaiian pizza, order it on your own time. It's true. It's true. You don't do that at work. And you, you know why? Because you also don't order a veggie pizza. No, you don't. Because even though I love that, yeah, you would because you don't do that. You don't do that in, in what do you order in its place? Cheese. Cheese or pepper? Yeah, you order a cheese pizza instead of like getting a veggie. Oh, sure. Right. That's what you would do. You don't order meat lovers. No. You order a pepperoni or a sausage. The minimum, the maximum toppings when you're ordering it for work or for a get together as one. Yes. That, that's it. You don't double up. You don't say this is a sausage and pepperoni. You do this as a pepperoni. This is a sausage. This is a cheese. And that's how it should work out. Could we do a final summary of this down? Yeah, because I feel like I've wasted the whole segment. And but it's, I feel that this is, again, this is every workplace. This could be at an auto shop. This could be at a business place when someone treats and how you take it.

Listen, someone could be in an meeting when the food comes. You have to allow them to at least go out and get their point, uh, their piece before diving in for seconds and thirds and whatnot. But the final summary is that, um, remember, Mike Lingard was to blame for Lentgate. Mike Lingard was to blame. Big Mike today. I said one cron is to blame for the math, but I am to blame. I ate the last piece. I, I take full responsibility. Was there any consideration to say like, maybe I should grab a cheese here. Or did you say I've only had one pepperoni that probably, yeah, the latter. I didn't put a whole lot of thought into it. To be honest with you said, Oh, good. There's a pepperoni left. Good for me. Probably the latter. Yeah. This is our social media guru, Elijah, uh, just commented, call HR. Oh, hey, jar. We know they're not in today. Oh, no. That's. Call HR. What is the problem? They ate all the pepperoni pizza. Maybe I should reply all to the company like Monty did on the email. Oh, what are my gadgets for?

What are my gadgets? Three is more. How do I contact HR for someone eating all the pepperoni pizza? Reply all send. Reply all. All right. She's Monty Blanjo. So I'm Dan Pire. We can do we want to get into Wimbledon at should do it on the other side. Let's do it on the other side because there is something Wimbledon is standing up for something that the US open is not doing. I apologize to Kavino and Rich. I just called him Kofino. Kavino and Rich for hijacking because I wanted to say four, a deep called 49ers, the 49ers. It happens. I apologize to Kavino and Rich for hijacking their show and talking about what just happened during the break. But I feel it is a topic that is much more relatable to to so many people than just us here at Fox Sports Radio. Fair enough? Sure. Yes. All right. Isaac Longcrown is here. He's full. We know that Jason Stewart is here.

He's got a spill of pepperoni. Chris Perfett on the cheese. Monty's on the cheese as well. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and within the I Hard radio app. Kavino and Rich here at Fox Sports Radio. It's not Kofino. It's Kavino. Sorry, Steve. I'm sorry to those of you that wanted sports talk in the first 15 minutes of the show. But pepperoni gate just got the best of us. She's Monty Blaniel. So I'm Dan Byer. Jason Stewart is tweeted the evidence. Oh, a good half pie of cheese pizza is still sitting there while the box of pepperoni is empty. Way in at Monty Blaniel's at Dan Byer on Fox at Jason Stewart. You can find Isaac at Isaac Lohan Cron Chris Perfett at Chris Perfett if you will. Moving on influencers are taking over everywhere everywhere here. There and everywhere. By the way, I did a quick transition, Monty, because we just need to move on from pizza. I could talk another 40 minutes about this, but we're not going to.

And yeah, we're not going to. We're going to talk about the US open. Well, we're not going to talk about Coco Gough. We're not going to talk about Naomi Osaka, who is fighting for her US open. But actually, it may just be over. Yeah, she actually just lost. So yes, it's just ended. We're not talking about the Americans on the men's side. Francis Tiafo. The none Tiafo going for another semi final, maybe a possible final. A lot happening with the Americans taking up, and we've three spots in the quarter finals. Nothing about Carlos Alcarez. We're talking about the influencers that have taken over. And it has been a lot at one point disrupting play at flushing meadows and Wimbledon has now said, you know what? We know our event is 10 months from now. But we are going to stand up and say enough is enough. Right, Monty? Enough is enough. Wimbledon is not going to give credentials to influencers.

Yeah, I'm glad that they're already this far ahead of it. I'm not very one to be a get off my lawn type of guy. Very few things get me like that. This one, I may sound like it, but these influencers, I, we see them everywhere. You can be at a restaurant. You can be on the sidewalk. You can be at Target. Do you see them everywhere? And the videos that we've seen from the US Open of these influencers at the event with their ring light and doing chance. I saw one where it was like a little bit of a chant. You are disrupting the game that has been around way longer than your ring light and your camera have been around. And you're, I don't have a problem with you being at Target. And like I have to get you have to get out of my way because I'm in your way. But I don't care if you want to do that. But in these situations, your influenceness at the US Open ends when you enter that venue outside. Go ahead. But it ends when you enter the venue. That's when you go and be a respectful person watching the event.

Like you can't change the traditions. You can't change what has been around for years. Like I told you like, I don't know if I could go to a golf tournament because I don't know if I could be quiet. I don't know how to not cheer. Because I know that's the right thing to do. So it's like I, I know what the etiquette is. I know the etiquette with pizza. I know the etiquette is see when it comes to being at the US Open with a camera. Like don't disrupt. It's we always start Tennyson and golf. There's, they're different. They're, they're special. They're different the way you approach. You know what I'm saying? Then the booing and the yelling that I am when I'm at a basketball game. So I have no problem with it. I'm glad they're already doing it. They said that they're going to confiscate any ring light. Why are you bringing our ring light to win? How does that even get through? How does that get through in the first place? What are we doing? Doesn't the light go up keys, wallet, phone in this little thing? How does the ring light not set it? I, I, I, I'm surprised that it has gotten this far. Right. I could tell you in my experience as a media member,

there is been an interesting shift in the last five years where I'm just going to call it. Non-conventional media has gotten more access than traditional media will. And it's usually motty behind selling tickets. And it's usually behind trying to get publicity for your event. When you're disrupting play to your point, that is a line that is crossed. Now, I don't think that some of these organizations are innocent in all of this. When we go and watch a golf tournament and hear somebody constantly yelling after someone hits a tee shot, that's not a real golf fan. That's someone that's there to serve their own purpose. Just like these influences are to me, there's absolutely no difference. For Wimbledon to crack down, I think is great. I've had entities ask me for my work that I have done at events. And I wondered what it was for. Like they truly, they wanted an interview with the athlete that I did.

And so we sent them the website link to it. I don't know if that was for them to show their superiors. Sure. Or if that was for them to qualify and saying, okay, you deserve a credential. Right. He's a real deal. But there are places that will ask for this. And so in the reason I do it is because I think that there's a there's a fine line. I don't think that these people were in on a media credential. They may have been, but they were sitting in a box. They were sitting in an area. So they may have just bought the tickets. That is something that Wimbledon's going to have to figure out themselves. If there are people there, just not a lot of them, sure that they will. But there has been a fine line between what is an influencer. And someone who is trying to benefit from themselves. And as a member of traditional media, I've actually felt that traditional media has been pushed to side at times to allow these influencers to promote the sport to different audiences. I can 100% agree with that, which kind of sucks. Like if you really think about the blending of these two types of mediums,

because they're there used to be a very clear line defining whether you were a reporter covering the team or if you're an influencer that likes a team that cares for a team. Right. And it's like, so now it's such a gray area. And it sucks. I think it sucks. I'm not even that I'm like a true journalist in any sense of the world because I'm not a journalist in any sense of the word. But back then, I knew it was clear. And even even still in like, you know, when at Dodger Stadium, when we do tours of Dodger Stadium, and we take people inside the Venskulli press box and we explain to guests, like, there's no cheering in here. I say that still. And now I wonder, I hope, I hope there's still no cheering in here. I'm not even tired. I hope there's no cheering in here. Yes. You know, but certain places it is a little bit more lax. I think we saw that during the World Cup. Isaac, have you noticed, have you noticed any trends in your over the years of maybe it swinging for influence towards influencers and away from traditional media?

And you captured it perfectly because it has been a swing that has actually happened over the last several years. It hasn't been just in the last two or three years. And I think one of the symptoms is when they started televised and press conferences live on TV about maybe a decade, even two decades ago. And press conferences are now literally completely useless to get anything but cliches. But over the years, at events, I would see more and more people, um, untraditional, suspiciously credentialed people, making it a point to ask questions at press conferences, not for information on a story that they were working on, but just so they could be on TV asking questions. So I think the root of that was back then and it is now manifesting itself today. You're right. It's been a, it's, it's expanded like the Super Bowl media day has expanded to all of these other events. And not only is it expanded to other events, it's done so to the actual competition.

And I think that's Monty's point of it's one thing. If you want to say, hey, look at us, the cruise out here at the US open. You can't be doing it when Arena, Sabalinka is serving. No, right? Yep. And I know she had problems with the weed that was being smoked in the stands as well, which is a whole other issue, but that I just use her as an example of it's, it's a different game, but there are things that you have to abide by. And I just, I don't know if those influencers were put in on media, con credentials, but I will say this that those influencers have been used by media outlets and organizations to push their, to push their stuff. I've even been told, and I feel this way, like through the audio medium, and we have podcasts, we have a video, you know, on YouTube, you can, you can see our clips, but there is still like an old way of thinking. And I'm not sure if all of these organizations realize it, some are setting their ways.

But for Wimble, then to stand up and be like, okay, well, I can tell you right now, the 10 months or not, you're not going to see this junk here. I'm glad that they're at least standing up to it because I'm not sure on how many would because they would feel that they are tied to said influencer. They're like, we went to the US open, the US women's open at Riviera. We broadcast a couple of shows from there. I've known golf entities to bring influencers out and golf influencing is very popular. So they'll have like the popular personalities from golf go and play these courses to try to get people interested in their event. But what they're not doing is they're not interfering with Rory McAroy's putt or anything that Scottie Schuffler is doing completely different situations. And then it's just like again, tying it all together that there, there is a difference from sport to sport. There, there is. It's not the same. You want to go cover the NBA and NBA all star weekend. Like all of that is full of influencers.

Like that makes sense. You're over there making quick shots or quick edited videos up close and personal with the all stars. Like that makes sense. But you're not interfering. Hey, it's Kavino and Rich. And I think we all got that one shirt or pair of pants that somehow ends up getting worn way more than we ever planned. You throw it on to run some errands, wear it out to dinner, pack it for a trip. And before long, you realize it's become your go to without even trying. That's pretty much what happened to me with built. What I like is that their whole brand is built around elevated everyday essentials. They're the kind of clothes that make getting dressed easy because they work with so many different situations. Everything is made with performance fabrics that are soft, breathable and comfortable from the first wear. There's none of that stiff fresh out of the package feeling that sometimes you get with new clothes. It honestly feels broken in right away. I've been reaching for the everyday tee because it's one of those shirts that works whether I'm keeping a casual or throwing on a jacket to head out, pair it with the everyday pants and you've got something comfortable enough for a long day travel, but polished enough to go straight from the airport to dinner without

Meet the Red Bull Dragonberry Emergizer. It's one of the many new drinks out now. Who knew ice cold drinks could be so fire. Try them all only at my toes. The game because I do feel that if you were at a basketball game, like if you were watching the Lakers at crypto, which is the lake show where they turn off the lights in the area where the fans are sitting. And you see someone pull out a ring light. You don't think you don't think LeBron James when he was a Laker would have been like, what are we doing over there? Like it would have been a distraction, even though that is a game full of distractions, but that distraction is like, you're not even respecting what's going on around you. Boolean is one thing, but you got to pull out a ring light when there's Luke at the judges out there with LeBron James. I'll say one thing with your with your Clippers fans.

I don't know if it's, I don't know if there's any rules against it. Maybe Isaac knows or not. But if you had, if you had the Clippers hand out ring lights to like 30 different fans to move them up and down during a free throw, it would be like a concerted thing. Something like that would be looked upon better than someone using one ring light while they're shooting a free throw doing it from their own benefit because they're, they're, they're being a part of the game. They're being a part of the atmosphere. The whole thing with the one ring light is it's all about the influencers. That's what you just said. Personal benefit. That's it. That is the difference because you're right at the into a dome with our wall. You mean, like give all the all the ring lights, like if they were playing somebody who whatever is a podcaster in a sense, that would be very different. But you're right. It's the personal, the personal gain that they're trying to get. Like who is this for except for you? Nobody else. Correct. And like something, and by the way, I'm not saying they're going to do that. You obviously can't shoot lasers. We've seen, you know, like stuff people, they're not condoning that. But the point is is the ring light of just one there.

Like I would, I could imagine Kevin Durant had a free throw line in an all star game, but the all star games that don't matter, still calling out what that would be would. Right. Total BS. Like what are you doing? But if you want to do this outside, like all it's all, it's at the masters. I feel like this past time at the masters, I made a comment to you. I was like, you could take pictures at the masters. You're like, no, that's like a different event or like before. Once you're in the areas, you're not allowed. You are not allowed to take picture. You can bring a camera on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of the practice rounds. You are not allowed on Thursday. No phones are allowed on site. Media members aren't allowed to use their phones as well. They've been confiscated at times when they have been improperly used. Augusta National, I saw some reporters even saying this weekend on X. There are another entity that asks for your work in saying, what did you provide? How did you go about doing this? You know, can we please have examples? And if you have them great, send them along. It's again, it's, you know, even for like our, our realm one, we're doing live radio.

If you're playing an interview, you know, we would record the audio and then we would send that to the entities and say like, this is what we, what we provided. And I think all of that is, is valuable. But to do something like that, it's not valuable. It's nice for, you know, and I know like the US open in golf. We talked about being at the women's open. I've seen at USGA media events influencers. I played in the women's open media day and there were influencers on the course. But this again is to try to draw up interest a month prior to the event, not when somebody is teeing off or trying to make a play. Nelly Corda is not there trying to win this tournament. Correct. Yeah. Completely different. And it's just, it sounds like such a get off my long thing. Doesn't it Jason Stewart? But there's, there's just a line that has to be drawn. And I think that the two events that you have mentioned, Wimbledon, and the masters, those are two like institutions, like the cool thing about Wimbledon flexing here is that we don't need those people. That's what they're saying. The masters doesn't need those people. They are institutions and they will be unchanged.

The problem is most events, as you said, Dan, need these influencers to bring attention to them. But the problem is when you have credentialed media, this is what Wimbledon's coming down on. It's a credential you to come in and utilize our space. That's not going to prevent people from doing their influencer things. They just need to buy and get in. But they did say that they're not going to allow you with a ring light to enter. Okay. That's good too. But I'm just saying that any antics that influencers do, as you guys pointed out, are all about the influencer and the events trying to get clout, I guess the word is, from that influencer. And most events, I think nowadays want that. I just love the fact that Wimbledon is just flexing their muscle here. We don't need that. That stuff is below us and good for them. But I mean, I think they'd be fighting a losing battle here in the next 10 years. Well, I would guess if we still had ticket stubs, that there would be a ticket on the back of a US Open ticket that says something about interfering with the play that's happening

on the court, which would be in complete violation of the agreement of having the ticket. And so if you are an influencer and you're buying your ticket on stub hub, I know it's not a physical nature, but I would think on any of the old tickets we had. Yeah. Even at stub hub, it'll tell you like you agreeing to buy this. You're abiding by the rules presented by the venue, the team, whatever. And if you do not follow the rules, you are subject of to be removed. And I think there's a great area to the dance already brought up. There is your just like wacky influencers with a million people on Instagram. And then there's your credential traditional media member. Then there's like this great area of people who think their reporters and they have just conned the media department into thinking that they are. There's this clown that goes out to LA events around here. And the only thing he does is he makes sure he gets down on the field or makes sure he gets down the course. I checked me out on my social media during the game. And it's like, why would I check your social media on the game? I'm going to watch the game. Right. And I'm going to come up with opinions on my own watching the game from my.

Plural people, clowns, plural people in LA media do that. It's way more than one of the friends. This one guy. This one guy is really outrageous. I have, I've, I've been turned down for credentials. When someone has, has asked, now I feel if I went to an event and then sat here with you

Monty talking about that event for 10 minutes is the same as any 60 second blurb on the local news. Any spot on sports center or the equivalent of any article written on any website or newspaper. I feel it's the same thing. It's just a different medium. And you know, like in our, in our world, unfortunately, the audio medium because you can't see it on TV or you can't bring up the, the article to read the actual words. Some people are stuck in the past being like, well, we don't know about that. But now with, with podcasts, it was so many different things. I feel like our medium has way more opportunities to show the stuff that we cover. And I still think that there are people in the back that don't necessarily understand that. And that's frustrating for me because I've seen people get credentials to Jason's point to Isaac's point that had no reason being there. And there have been times where I've been turned down for those same events. And so it's on a personal level.

It can be frustrating. Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in the nation.

I'm sure pepper and Dr Pepper. Oh, Jason Stewart. It has been two years since the week one fiasco of Kyle Shanahan and Christian McCaffrey.

And we're going to be talking some fantasy football coming up a little later on and give you know, and Rich. Not in the normal way, but it was two years ago that Christian McCaffrey was supposed to play what on a Monday night game and then was held out and missed the next eight weeks. Ruining the lives of fantasy football players because you have all these fantasy leagues drafting their fantasy teams and Christian McCaffrey is a top three pick. I think he was the top pick overall that your consensus and Kyle Shanahan's lying to us about his injury status for gamesmanship of other teams. I think he should have been suspended for it. He screwed over the fantasy managers and the stuff with Pukka Nakuha is going down that that lane for me. I'm getting pissed off. And to your point, you may think that Jason is playing it up, but no, he like when you think of how many people are invested in the NFL because of fantasy football or would be invested in the 49ers that aren't 49ers fans. It's because of fantasy football, right?

There's yeah, if the NFL were to have a pie chart of why the game is so popular and what percentage of their audience makes up what fantasy players and betters probably make up what 98% of it. And then the other two percent is you follow your own team. So it's like, why would you just dismiss most of that pie chart? My my annoyance with this is there's so obviously there's everything I see is Kalshi it is underdog, it is everything is about betting and sports, right? It's all it's everywhere. And when they refuse to accept or lean into that, I agree with you. Like the whole thing with Christian McAfry was so annoying. And here we are with Pukka Nakuha of like what's going to happen here? And it's just like don't tell me that this isn't a part of the game today because it is. And so that's that's where I'm annoyed by it. Don't tell me that that's no, it's not about gambling. No, it's not.

No, it is. And you know it. It's completely about that. And it's two different worlds when you talk about Pukka Nakuha situation. Like there's no way now that the NFL could come down today or tomorrow and love you to find against Pukka Nakuha. That would be doing the Rams really dirty. These teams usually get heads up. So we expect Pukka to play and be full, you know, as much as you can for the for the Rams against the 49ers. So the McAfry situation is unique because he was held out of workouts for the open portion of the practice because he's been dealing with tightness. Now, this is more revealing from Kyle Shanahan. But it is now again, we're three days from kickoff from that game and with Christian McAfry's history. Now makes you kind of wonder how you want to deal with Christian McAfry. But I didn't think that there was a huge McAfry issue outside of what Christian McAfry always has to deal with. And he's coming off of a heavy workload season. So you thought that that could affect him this season. And now we're already off to dealing with tightness in week one.

But I mean, to my point, like the NFL, if it was completely considering their fan base and the fantasy market would be like, you know what, we're not going to rule this week. But a ruins coming soon and then have some kind of a leak of where that ruins going. We're going to have a draft in a couple hours. This our place Fox Bush radio. And we don't know if Pukin, Akua is going to miss five or six games. If not more, we don't know yet. We don't know for sure. But I think we're leaning into the fact that as Dan pointed out, I think it's too late at this point. I actually think this is a separate conversation of we have these other players that are being punished for their off field activities and whatnot. And here's Pukin Akua who has had a few incidences and he's going to come out of this without anything. That to me is interesting. Everybody wants the Rams to win apparently. Yeah, that it's funny. Like we may be waiting for something that doesn't ever happen. Exactly. And for the NFL to not address it. I mean, the Josh Jacobs allegations were in May from that alleged incident.

And now his court date's been moved up, but he's put on the commissioner's exempt list. And yeah, so I'm starting to lean towards what you're saying is that the Pukin situation is unclear. I just don't know how you can deal with something like the CMC deal because guys, draft values are always going to fall. I love and hate from this weekend next time, Fox. Hey, it's Kavino and Rich.
