Full Transcript
I just got a great phone call. Great phone call from a buddy of mine. I'm going to hook you up, Big Mac. Hook me up? With one of my favorite clothing brands of all time. Me and Jalen Brunson. Faraday. Faraday. Yeah, that's right. Faraday Clothing Brands. They may become the official clothing company of the Cardin Show with Big Mac. Yeah, I wore that exclusively on Fox. Going to bring them over here to the Fanaroonie. Yeah, I need some. Yeah, that's right. New clothes. You got me one thing. You're rocking my sweatshirt. I got to bring new things. Yeah. I love wearing new things. Do you? I'm a big new thing guy. You're a new thing guy? Yeah. Do you like new things? I got you some new things. Yeah, you said you had, I told you this earlier, you know how you said your dream was to win a championship in the easiest path? Like that was your, that's your dream? As a fan, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I want the Patriots road, but they couldn't close it up. Right. My dream is to be every day, be the first day of school. You want every day to be the first day of school? I said nobody ever. I love the first day of school. Is that right? Because I had all my new clothes. I had my new trapper keeper. I had my new five-subject binders. I had all the new stuff. And then you saw your friends. You didn't really do anything in class. The first day of school was the best. First day of school was the worst day of the year every year. Oh, it was the best. What are you talking about? The worst day of the year every year. You knew the summer was coming to an end anyway. Yeah, but it's the worst day. I'm talking about young kid, not college. But even senior high school was the best thing. The first day of school is the greatest day of the year for parents because their kids are out of the house from 7.30 to, let's just say, 3.30, ballpark, right? It's the worst day of the year for kids. I loved it. You loved the first day of school. I loved shopping for all the new things. I loved getting them. I loved wearing my new clothes. The new, all the different stuff for school and everything. Loved it. Well, I got you a Fairey shirt. New backpack. So you can wear it when I get in here. The second it gets here, I'm putting it on. Yeah, rock it like it's the first day of school. Come and go, Daddy, do you like my Fairey shirt? I'm like, yes, I do. Look handsome in it. Yeah. I'm going to fit you up nice. Yeah. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah, it's funny. Boomer and I put Untucket on the map. We talked to the original founder of Untucket, he even says that we were like a fledgling clothing company. We decided to advertise with Boomer and Carton, and the next day our lives changed. Really? Yes. Now, Faraday's a very successful clothing brand already, but we're going to do the same thing for them. Okay. I'm going to have you fit it out nice. You want me to model? Stretchy pants. Stretchy pants. Putten down shirts. Flannel this. Flannel that. Soft cotton. Oh, yeah. I got you covered, Biggs. All right? I'm going to introduce you to Alex, and you're going to be nice and normal. You're not going to be crazy. You sometimes already introduce you to people, and you're going to love the connection. Who have I ever been? You know how you are sometimes. You know how you get a little crazy, you get a little red. You know how it goes. A little bit Boone? Yeah. Yeah, okay. I'm red in the face. And do me one favor. If I introduce you to him, don't send him a text. Go get him. Let's stop with that too, please. He had no problem with that text. I spoke to Boone about it. He seemed that was a normal text. Here's Brett in Fairfield, Connecticut. Brett, what's going on, Cookie? Hey, what's up, boys? How are you doing? I love the show. Thank you. Hey, so listen, what Judge said was ridiculous because there are ways to do it where you can guarantee a block of sleep for your guy, right? I mean, when we had a kid, me and my wife both had jobs, and they were important. And so you treat it like a doctor on call. What you're going to say is like the same for all of us. As parents, we figure it out. And we don't live in those kind of caveman days where dad never changes a diaper or rocks a baby to sleep. So I totally appreciate what you're calling. This is not a referendum on how to properly co-parent a baby. This is about a football coach giving us a little glimpse of what life used to be like for us as men. and while there's going to be outrage over his comments and you know, L. Duncan and other ESPN bro, your Mameena comms are like, I can't believe what Joe Jett said. Oh, way to turn society back 50 years you caveman douche. That's what we're going to get. But what he's saying, as much as we're going to mock him for saying he's Joe Judge so we have a connection to him he's trying to keep it real with the new mom and I'm sure with the football player. Look, you guys decided not to be careful. You never regret having a child. Obviously, it is a blessing. But I got to keep it real with you. The guy that just knocked you up has some responsibilities that if he turns his back on them, even for something that's far more important, like the welfare of a child and your health as the mom of that baby, there are going to be repercussions because he did that. We're paying him a lot of money or he's getting his college, whatever it is. So just understand what our reality is. He is not his own man. He essentially is an indentured servant to us because we have a full scholarship on him and or he's making NIO money. So sadly and Joe Judge didn say it this way while the baby is the most important thing in the world on the Ole Miss campus it second And that essentially what he telling you Now we could all be outraged about that and go out there and picket Ole Miss Oh la la la la la la fire and brimstone But what he's saying is he's being honest. He's like, after the season, change every diaper you got. But he has a responsibility to us first, and that's real. And I know we all hate hearing that, and we all want to be tough guys, but that's what Joe Judge is telling you. Yeah, he's telling you that. He's telling you, we don't expect to hear, oh, I didn't get any sleep last night. I was up with the baby. We don't want to hear that. We don't want to hear it. Now, you'd rather your star player be up playing Madden all night than worrying about a crying baby. Because I don't think they have the same talk with players about video games. No. I think they probably tell players, don't get in fights. Don't knock anybody up. Don't do drugs. Right? Don't embarrass the program. Right. But they're not like, don't play Call of Duty until 3 o'clock in the morning. Well, they might. You think so? Yeah. I think they might, maybe not without specifically saying play video games or play Call of Duty, they might tell them, look, you better get your sleep. Right. Because I don't care what the reason is. You're out with girls. You're out with your friends. You're playing video games. You're doing whatever. You're reading Moby Dick. I don't care. They're probably not reading Moby Dick, but I'm with you. Maybe they are. I'm with you. Probably not. Or they're like LeBron. They only get to page one. You know how LeBron never gets to a second page of a book he's allegedly reading? Every book that guy holds up, he's on page one. I'm like, could you at least pretend like you're in the middle of the book? Do you notice that you bring up LeBron James at any chance you get? Yeah, because it bothers people. Yeah, it's fun for me. Yeah, trolling people. Yeah, I'm just serious. No, I know you are. Every time LeBron James holds up a book he claims to be reading, he happens to be on the first page. He's never on like page 32. He's never like, boy, chapter five was ridiculous. It's always, you know, was the best of times was the worst of times. Call me Ishmael. Exactly. Exactly. It's on page one. You have to say, I noticed that stuff You noticed a lot Maybe that's just where he picks up the book It's easier just to hold it by its He's like posed for pictures Does he have like a Ninja Turtle bookmark He does not He has posed for pictures Making it look like he's reading And he's always on page one And I'm like, if you're going to pose for the picture Open the book up Get to the middle of it Put a fake bookmark in it I don't know. Rumble it up a little bit. Something. Fold some edges. Something. Make it look like you've been reading. Did you hear when 50 Cent came out and said to Floyd Mayweather, I think it was, right, where I think he said to Floyd Mayweather once that I would give you $10 million if you could read a single chapter of, I think it was Harry Potter. And everyone's like, dude, just do it. Just read it. It's like $10 million. And he never took him up on it. Really? He was like, I'm not doing that. Yeah, and now I think the word is that Mayweather's broke. No way. The word on the street. Well, I mean, I know he would gamble crazy amounts of money, but he's made it. Big gambler, big car guy. He's made it. Every time he fights, he makes $60 million. One part is that he is dead broke. Okay. Not sure how true that is because obviously he's got some assets, right? Right. But the other part of the story is that the promoters, like we've heard a lot of times in boxing. Take advantage. Like, to the tune of over $100 million in earnings that he was supposed to receive that he never got. Now, he's gotten a lot of money, probably $300, $400 million, if not more, in his lifetime. Yeah. But there are stories in Vegas right now that he is dead broke, which seems almost impossible to believe. Impossible. Right? How old is he now? How old is Mayweather? 45? I only asked, could he fight? Could he box? I mean, theoretically. Would anybody care? I think he's done a couple exhibitions in Saudi Arabia and stuff for Doe. But no, Floyd Mayweather, first, I'm not sure who would box anymore. Number two, he's done. He's a 40-year-old boxer. No, I understand that. But I'm just saying, is it enough? No, who would you want to see him fight? He's 48. So he's a 50-year-old guy. We don't want to see 50-year-old box. He just turned 48. Even when he fought Pacquiao 12 years ago, we were like, this fight's stupid. How old was George Foreman? George Foreman fought in his 50s. I'm not sure if he's 50 as a champion I think he won a title in his 40s He came back and won the title at what 42? Yeah but now at 50 dude He beat Michael, he beat Moore? What was Moore's first name? I don't remember who he won the title back from but like when you see a boxer who you had great respect for that you loved watching and then they're like they're 45 years old you're like come on man like you have no money like is it all gone do you need like I don't know another grill You know what I'm saying? Like maybe Floyd Mayweather needs to do the Floyd Mayweather grill. Help George Foreman out. It certainly did. Vander Holyfield's the same thing. He's punch drunk. It was just the grill just tilted a little bit so the fat would go down. What do we have? Say it on the air. I had the 50 cent to Floyd Mayweather thing with the edits, so there's no question. You do? Yes. All right, so this is 50 cent challenging Floyd Mayweather to prove that he could read. Listen to this. So I messed up a little bit It wasn 10 million Three quarters of a million bucks to read a single page of a Harry Potter book Yeah, but then Jimmy Kimmel actually, I think, added on to it, too. So it was definitely more than just $7 million. But it wasn't to Florida, it was to charity. Yeah. Yeah. Like, just out of principle, don't you say, give me the book. And something about 50. He is an excellent trash talker. He's one of the greatest agitators on the planet now. Just that voice and what he's doing with Diddy now, constantly throwing shots. I'm not sure if this is AI or not, but there's stuff on social media that he has said that LeBron's next. Really? Now, again, maybe it's AI, but I'm just telling you. You just can't get away from the guy. I'm just telling you. We could talk about anything. I'm just saying. He apparently has the goods on LeBron and is shredding a three-part Netflix special on LeBron. Oh, my God. Yeah. I'm just telling you. That's what's out there. I don't mean to keep bringing LeBron up, but it just happens naturally. It just happens naturally. Like, what do you think out of principle you would take him up on that bet? Yes. Now, I've never read Harry Potter. I've never seen Harry Potter. There might be some old English words that we'd all get kind of flummoxed by. Maybe. Yeah, I mean, part of me would be like, I understand the part of like, screw you, I'm not reading a – just to prove to you. I don't need to prove to you anything. I would make them write the cash, though. That's what I'm saying. I'd make them write the check. You want to be a jerk? I'll read the page. Let's do it. Live stream it. Write three quarters of a million dollar cash. No, I wouldn't take a check. You can forgazy a check. I want cash. I want you to bring $7.15 cash in front of me. Put it on the table. All right? Give me the book. You can pick any page of the book. Prisoner of Azkaban. I don't care which book. Whichever one. I couldn't name anyone. I never saw it. What is it? Secret Chamber. I don't know. I don't know. We can go through them real quick. It seems like you're asking me. No, no, I'm just saying. But I don't know. How many books are there? Chamber of Secrets. I think it's like seven. Seven? It's like Star Wars? Ugh. And you people keep going back and watching the same thing over and over again? Well, the movies are kind of done now. Yeah. Well, she stopped writing, right? Yeah. There you go. There are seven Harry Potter books? It's like James Bond stuff, I guess. Like it never gets old. What's Harry Potter do next? Right, yeah. I mean, you know. Well, they get older. All eight Harry Potter books. Eight Harry Potter books. Eight Harry Potter books. And do they still pretend like he's a nine-year-old, or does he actually age in the books as well? I think he gets older. I don't know how old he was by the eighth book. Because that's one of the things with The Simpsons. Still cool age. Like, Bart's never gotten older. No. None of the kids have gotten any older. Yeah, it's kind of a weird thing. I guess. Like, even the Flintstones got older. Yeah. I just saw an episode of The Simpsons where it was like, Maggie goes into the future of her college days. Oh, yeah? And it's like, yeah, Springfield, 2010. and I'm like 2010 was when she's supposed to be in college that's how long that show's running 30 years here's Bernadette in Oceanside on the fan Bernadette what's going on how are you Craig how are you hi Bernadette hi Chris how are you honey I'm great thank you so much I'm your scrotum girl remember that's it I'm going home no no no no I'm going home I'm sorry I'm going home I gotta go home now Did she say what I think she said? She said it. We're already out. We're rocking it. Scrotum. Scrotum. He knows why. He knows why. He was supposed to ride a bicycle for Boomer's charity event but his son was making his first communion on that day and he forgot. Committed to Boomer and I told him, don't do this, Chris, because someone ripped their scrotum. Oh, you were my scrotum girl Thank God I remember, listen, I know You were a regular caller to the overnight show Yes, of course You should get a t-shirt that says scrotum girl on it Yeah, well Craig, we have A mutual friend Oh, nice We do, Craig and I You were friends with his son I was friends with his father His father helped me through my ex-husband and my brother's business. His name was Marvin Deniroff. Oh, yeah. Harry Deniroff, of course. He was Howie Deniroff's son. Yeah. And he helped me while you guys were in effing college having a grand old time while I was going bankrupt in Queens. Jesus. So Harry and I went to Syracuse together. We worked at the college radio station together. and then for 20 plus years he was the man behind all the success that Westwood One had. I know. And then he started his own media company a couple years ago and I always think very highly of Harry but I never knew Harry's dad so interesting connection. Oh my god I can't believe we don't know his dad. He used to smoke a big ass fat cigar and he used to walk across the street to OTB in Queens and stay there for about three hours and and just gamble and gamble and gamble Come back three hours later the cigar was still the same size Well he probably had a second cigar Well when he came back to work after three hours of being in OTB. When he came back to work. So he left work on a Tuesday to go bet the ponies in Queens and then came back. Okay, what's going on at the office? Three hours. No, three hours later, he came back. That's so funny. Not three days. Got it. Well, how about that? And what's your take on all this Tish and Epstein stuff? I'm sorry, I don't believe a word, but the Giants are a classy organization. I don't think they're a part of this. I think that that Epstein guy got whatever he deserved. I hope they shank his sorry ass off and hooked his penis and throwed him off and yes, ow. Wow. Exactly. Yeah, I mean, you talk about old school. Were you a lunch lady at any point in your life? No, I was not. I was a stay-at-home mom, actually. So let me ask you a question. As a stay-at-home mom, did you ever demand that your husband get his ass up at midnight to feed a colicky baby or change a diaper? Oh my god, I used to kick him. I used to kick him because he wouldn't wake up. And I used to fucking kick him. I'm like, could you get up? I gotcha, I gotcha, I gotcha. I gotcha. I gotcha. I got to tell you. So you would kick your husband to wake him up, and did you realize that he was pretending to sleep so that he didn't have to change the diaper? But I got back at him like years away. He is a... You divorced him and took all his money. I got you. No, no, no. I didn't take all his money. I didn't. I told him I wanted private school for my kids, and I don't want alimony from you because I'm capable of working and making money for myself. Look at you. I just want my children, your children, our children to go to private school and they went to Lutheran high school and middle school in Old Brookville, and that's where they got the best education I could ever have. Look at you. Have you found love since then or no? Oh, many times with many people named John. And not because of the name John. Oh, my God. I mean, yeah. That's a term for people who are interested in paying for your company there. No, I had married John, who was married, and left his wife three times. He left his wife three times for me. Three times. Wow. Yeah. And then I had crackhead John, who he was, unbeknownst to me, smoking crack in my house with my 17-year-old son in my house. How did you not know that? I packed his bath, and I said, there's your suitcase. Get the fuck. Right. Got it. I'm sorry. I'm not going to say it. Don't say it. Thank you. get the freak out of my house okay go ahead I packed all his clothes everything and he goes can I stay the weekend I said here's the hotel room goodbye goodbye wow you have lived some life Bernadette you know what I was also a rotten teenager for god's sakes oh my god you guys I grew up in Brooklyn and I did everything rotten a child could do to their parents. Got it. Got it. I really did. And God bless them and God rest their souls that they don't even know half the shit I did. Yeah, alright. Well, Bernadette, I appreciate you and don't be a stranger now. Thanks so much for calling in and you have now been the first woman in the history of this radio station to be dumped three times in one call. But I didn't hang up on you. I had to hear the whole story. That's a woman right there, boy. I don't know what happened. because I got to tell you. She's your scrotum girl. I've spoken to her. Yeah. A bunch. Yeah. I have. She was completely off the rails today. That's great. She, her and Brett would get into it and back and forth a little bit. And I would play them off each other. You know, who's Brett, Brett in Long Island. The other guy. Oh yeah. He would call in. He was the one I told you. He's like disrespectful. Sometimes it was like a stick of his to be angry and annoyed and challenge me. And she didn't like that. And she would come to my defense and they would go at it sometimes. but like that was insane I love her that was great she could call every week and I don't believe I do not believe in regular callers but you could let her call in every week right Petey Bernadette's my girl she's your scrotum girl she's my scrotum girl thank god she wasn't talking to me I thought maybe I thought she was I was like did we date because I know her or a little bit because we talk a lot in the overnight I thought she was trying to jog your memory that's what I thought too yeah like hey you remember me I'm your scrotum girl because I know who she is but that's right Yeah, she told me not to ride the bike because she knew someone who ripped their scrotum. I think that's the number one bike accident. Yeah. Their ripped scrotum. Yeah. I think you also get the secular cancer from riding bikes too much, which is why I avoid them. I use a car instead. Can't get cancer from a car. Yeah. You can get it from riding a bicycle. Yeah. Pretty sure. I don't know. That's why when LeBron rides a bike. LeBron. All right, we're going to take a quick break. 888-808-119
