00:00Maz's Tears.
00:02God, these are the tears of a clown.
00:04Maz's Tears.
00:07The second tear.
00:08Hold on, let me get my pen.
00:09Maz's Tears.
00:11Dallas.
00:12Buffalo.
00:13Tennessee.
00:14Maz's Tears.
00:16Third tear.
00:17Okay, here we go.
00:17Hold on, let me get my pen.
00:19Maz's Tears.
00:21Tears.
00:22Tears.
00:23Tears.
00:24Yeah, it's that time of the week.
00:25Maz's Tears presented by the Bernardi Automotive Group.
00:28Come into any of Bernardi's five locations and celebrate summer, whether it's a new Audi, Acura, Honda, Toyota, or Volvo.
00:35Bernardi has the perfect vehicle for you and always at a great price.
00:38Maz, what do we got this week?
00:39Okay, so here's what we got in lieu of the, or not in lieu, in the wake of the announcement between Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift that they are engaged to be married.
00:49We decided to go with power couples involving professional athletes.
00:55Okay, so now again.
00:56Here comes the preamble.
00:57Well, I'm just giving you the qualifications or the criteria so people understand what we're dealing with.
01:02Because otherwise some jackass is going to call us up with Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart or something that has nothing to do with anything.
01:09Sports.
01:09I'm trying to set these people right.
01:11Sports.
01:11Okay, so you have to have at least one athlete involved in these.
01:15Right on.
01:15And we will allow for two if it's significant enough.
01:19So, for example, we'll get to a couple of tennis players in a minute that I'll give you one.
01:22Kind of athletes who are celebrities in their own right, per se.
01:26You know, it's, well, go ahead.
01:27So, the only other thing I'll tell you up front is that the definition of a celebrity has changed in the wake of the internet.
01:35Okay?
01:35Big time.
01:36So, keep that in mind.
01:37We'll start with tier three.
01:38And I would say the majority, not all, the majority of these are generally trashy relationships in tier three.
01:44But, you know, take that for a while.
01:45These are D-listers.
01:46Yeah, basically, there's a little trash element to these relationships.
01:49So, again, tier three to our TV producer, simulcast producer Vinnie Crouch.
01:54Brooks Koepka and Jenna Sims.
01:57Huh?
01:57Brooks Koepka's wife is Jenna Sims.
02:00She's a B-level actress.
02:01If you saw the full swing documentary, she's fairly striking, kind of trashy.
02:06Nomar Garcia-Para and Mia Hamm, I would not call them trashy.
02:10In fact, I would call them sort of two elite athletes that really kind of stay out of the public eye.
02:14Are they still married?
02:16They are.
02:16They're good.
02:17You know what?
02:18And I respect it.
02:19Yeah, me too.
02:19Like, I think they were a good match.
02:22No, they are a good match.
02:23And, again, they don't necessarily call a lot of attention to themselves.
02:26Right.
02:27They actually kind of hide, which I like.
02:29Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley, I should have given you one other criteria.
02:33I mean, is there a bigger douchebag pairing than that?
02:36No.
02:37No, definitely not.
02:38And some people appear on this list more than once.
02:42Okay.
02:43But I never put them on the same tier.
02:45So, in other words, if you're going to be up there more than once, you have to be on different tiers.
02:49Most insufferable athlete of our time paired with a gal that doesn't bathe or something, right?
02:54Correct.
02:54Yeah, she's like a gross hippie.
02:55Yeah.
02:56Andre Risen and Lisa Lopes.
02:58You remember them?
02:58Oh, yeah.
02:59She burned down his house.
03:00Yep.
03:01Unfortunately.
03:02I felt like I had to put that one on the list just because of the incident in and of itself.
03:06Jay Cutler and Kristen Cavallari.
03:08They're both trash.
03:09Okay, so there you go.
03:10D-list.
03:11Anna Kornikova and Enrique Iglesias.
03:14Oh, that was a better one.
03:16But, okay, go ahead.
03:17She just announced she's pregnant at like 44.
03:19Okay, so the reason this goes on tier three, wasn't she with Ovechkin at one point?
03:23Yeah.
03:23No, it wasn't.
03:24No, it was Fedorov.
03:26Oh, Fedorov.
03:27Okay.
03:27When she was like 16 or some sketchy thing like that.
03:30Yeah, I used to see her at the games.
03:31I covered the finals.
03:32She was there.
03:32Yeah.
03:32So I put her on tier three because she's sort of like a borderline great.
03:36You know, she never won anything.
03:38Oh, she wasn't good.
03:39She was just hot.
03:40Exactly.
03:41Tom Brady and Tara Reid.
03:43Like, these were in Brady's trash years.
03:45All due respect.
03:46Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra.
03:48Oh, so good trash.
03:50Kim Kardashian and just about every athlete you could think of, frankly.
03:53Give me a couple.
03:55What's his name?
03:55Was with the Celtics Chris Humphreys.
03:57Wasn't she with Chris Humphreys for a while?
03:59Yeah, yeah.
04:00Was it Lamar Odom?
04:00Yeah, Lamar Odom.
04:02Another one.
04:02Very good.
04:03Tristan Thompson.
04:04Yep.
04:04Tristan Thompson.
04:05Another one.
04:06Give me another one.
04:08We might be getting Kardashians mixed up.
04:10I think that might be the other one.
04:11So when I say trashed here, I also mean a little loose.
04:14Well, what you should do is just team Kardashian and whoever.
04:18The Clippers.
04:19Fill in the blank.
04:20Team Kardashian and teams.
04:22Yeah, fill in the blank.
04:24And only this.
04:26I don't know that this qualifies as trash, but Derek Jeter dated so many freaking celebrities
04:32that I had to put Minka Kelly on tier three.
04:35Tier three?
04:36Okay.
04:36Because, again, there were others.
04:38Derek Jeter is just.
04:39Derek Jeter is a Hall of Fame dating list.
04:42Okay, but she was.
04:43Was she trash?
04:44No, no.
04:45I said the majority of people in tier three.
04:47She was.
04:48She got named by default.
04:49Yeah, exactly.
04:51Derek Jeter's, for lack of a better word, filmography.
04:55Dissography.
04:55Derek Jeter is pretty good.
04:57He's got a pretty good list.
04:58Okay, here.
04:59Let's do this.
05:00Update.
05:0090 seconds.
05:01No commercials.
05:01We come back with tiers two and one of most notable athlete-celebrity relationships.
05:06It's Maz's tiers.
05:08Celebrity couples.
05:09Athlete-celebrity couples.
05:10Obviously, the big news this week with Tay-Tay is a jumping off point.
05:13We gave you tier three.
05:14Here comes tier two.
05:15What do we call this, Maz?
05:16Okay, this is.
05:16We're calling it affectionately page two, which means they're not quite the A-listers,
05:21but these were some power couples, or are some power couples involving athletes, to
05:27be taken seriously.
05:28So, we'll go right to the top of the list.
05:30Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky.
05:32That's tier two?
05:33It is tier two.
05:34Wow.
05:35So, Paulina Gretzky, again, more of a modern celebrity, an influencer, along with being
05:40Wayne Gretzky's daughter.
05:42Jose Canseco and Madonna, I put on this list.
05:44What should it be tier three?
05:45They're trash.
05:46You know what?
05:46It should be tier three.
05:47Disagree.
05:48You're right.
05:48It was A-Rod and Madonna.
05:49So, A-Rod, I think, also was with Madonna.
05:54He was.
05:54But I think the original Madonna relationship was Canseco sneaking out of her apartment
05:59in the middle of the night.
06:00Do you remember this?
06:01Yes.
06:02Oh, no, no.
06:02That I don't.
06:03I'm sorry.
06:03I was, I zoned for a second.
06:06I'm sorry.
06:06So, that was Canseco and Madonna sneaking out in the middle of the night?
06:09Yes.
06:10Yeah.
06:10But, I'm sorry.
06:10A-Rod and Madonna is, Madonna's not trash?
06:13No, no.
06:14She's not trash.
06:15Murray?
06:16Canseco's kind of trash.
06:16I'm not trash.
06:17Murray.
06:18Yeah.
06:18A hugely prolific, successful career.
06:22Doesn't mean you're not trash.
06:23Yeah, no.
06:23We're not talking about Madonna.
06:24We're talking about Canseco.
06:27I think they're both trash.
06:29Okay.
06:29All right.
06:30Russell Wilson and Ciara.
06:32Bores.
06:32Okay.
06:33But, again.
06:33There's two bores.
06:33But, power couple.
06:34You're talking about a couple of legitimate stars there.
06:37Tom Brady and Bridget Moynihan.
06:39Now, again, Brady can only be in each tier once.
06:43Yep.
06:44Okay.
06:44Yep.
06:45My personal feeling would be Brady and Moynihan tier one.
06:48But, what are you going to do?
06:50We all know who that goes to.
06:52Jason Sehorne and Angie Harmon.
06:54One of my favorites.
06:56Good one at the time.
06:56She was lovely.
06:57Oh.
06:58And, he was not bad.
06:59He was a good looking dude.
07:01Yeah.
07:01The last white corner.
07:02The last great Caucasian corner.
07:03Yep.
07:04Frank Gifford and Kathy Lee Crosby.
07:06That was mine.
07:07Kathy Lee Gifford.
07:07Yeah, that came up yesterday.
07:09And, I would say in their respective fields, both sort of, you know, not gigantic, but big.
07:16Andre Agassi and Steffi Graff.
07:17This is my sport in sport number two.
07:20Nomar and Mia Hamm, obviously one of them.
07:22I am a huge Steffi Graff fan.
07:25You just liked her game?
07:26You liked her ground strokes?
07:27Excellent.
07:27Tremendous.
07:28Tremendous.
07:29You liked her net game?
07:30Tremendous competitor.
07:31Agassi was a crossover star.
07:32He qualifies.
07:34Yeah, what was his other one?
07:35No, I'm just saying he wouldn't always say crossover star.
07:37Reality show.
07:38He wasn't just a tennis player.
07:40He had like, you know, he was a star in his own right, is what I mean.
07:42He wasn't like Pete Sampras.
07:45He was just a tennis player.
07:46You know what I mean?
07:47Agassi was a celebrity.
07:48Yeah, certainly bigger personality.
07:50Absolutely.
07:52I almost forgot this one.
07:54And, this qualifies as a modern power couple.
07:57Paul Skeens and Olivia Dunn.
08:01She's a huge influencer on Instagram, right, Murray?
08:03I would argue she's maybe the most popular person on the internet over the last, like, year and a half.
08:07I mean, she's gigantic, and I'm not a big follower, so, but I know she's out there, and to young people, that couple is like...
08:14They're both as hot as they are stupid.
08:15Like, you hear them talk, and they're like, I'd rather listen to a shoe.
08:18Derek Jeter and Jessica Alba?
08:21Yeah, big time.
08:22So, now, again, I had a limited with Jeter, and in retrospect, I regret putting some of these on the tiers they're on.
08:29Alba's big time.
08:30You could have also said Jessica Biel?
08:32Oh, maybe that's who I was thinking of, Jessica Biel.
08:34I mean...
08:35Who's Timberlake's wife?
08:36You could have said Mariah Carey.
08:37Yep.
08:38Well, hold on, Murray.
08:39We're going to get to that.
08:40Who's Timberlake's wife?
08:42I think it is Jessica Biel, I think.
08:44Yeah, I mean, Jeter...
08:46Jessica Biel.
08:47Jeter got around.
08:48Yeah, it is.
08:49Jessica Biel.
08:50Jessica Biel is Mount Rushmore territory for me.
08:53Go ahead.
08:53Okay, that's the end of Tier 2.
08:55Now, Tier 1.
08:57These are the A-listers that everybody would want at their party.
09:00These are the kind of couples that would show up at the Met Gala.
09:04Brady and Giselle, top of the list.
09:05One of the all-time great couples in American history.
09:08You know, in terms of public people, Travis Kelsey, Taylor Swift, certainly on that group.
09:13Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn Monroe.
09:15The OG.
09:16Maybe the original sort of power couple of athlete.
09:19That poor prick.
09:20She made him mental, right?
09:21Super...
09:22I mean, like the...
09:23But they were...
09:24I think they were sort of the...
09:26What's the word I'm looking for?
09:27The prototype.
09:28Oh, yeah, yeah.
09:28For the power couple.
09:29She made him mental, or was he just mental?
09:32I mean, maybe a little bit of column A, column B, but anything I've ever read was like
09:35he was nuts when he was with her because he was just like so insecure about the fact
09:40he was with Marilyn Monroe.
09:41Yeah, but was that her fault?
09:42No, no, ultimately not.
09:44One of my personal favorites, at least half of it, David and Victoria Beckham.
09:50Still together.
09:51Yeah, they are a rock tandem, man.
09:54I love them.
09:55A-list.
09:56International A-list.
09:57Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez.
09:59Okay, so A-Rod, Lope...
10:01Ugh, I couldn't imagine two more annoying human beings.
10:04Okay, so...
10:04What's a bigger power couple?
10:06A-Rod, Madonna, or A-Rod, Jennifer Lopez?
10:09I say J-Lo.
10:10I say Madonna.
10:11Really?
10:11Jennifer Lopez has been in more movies, I think.
10:13But...
10:13I don't know.
10:14I don't know.
10:14Who...
10:14Who is a bigger star?
10:17Well, I think Madonna...
10:18Well, actually, they're really similar.
10:20Jennifer Lopez still...
10:21Madonna did movies, too.
10:22Yeah, but Jennifer Lopez is still, like, valid, and, like...
10:26Madonna's star is...
10:28Okay, she's 65.
10:29Did Madonna ever play the lead in a movie?
10:31Sure.
10:32Did she?
10:33Don't ask me what one, but...
10:34The lead?
10:35I mean, so she wasn't much of an actress.
10:37She was a bigger star.
10:38Madonna's 67, Murray.
10:39Jesus.
10:40Well, she's still trying.
10:41Trying to put an...
10:41Exactly.
10:42J-Lo's pretty big.
10:43Madonna was a bigger star than J-Lo.
10:45I don't know how we quantify that, but, like, I don't know,
10:48curating career earnings.
10:50Record-sold earnings.
10:51Yeah, probably Madonna.
10:53Madonna.
10:53Yeah, but did she ever marry A-Rod?
10:55Did she what?
10:56Madonna never married A-Rod.
10:58They got married.
10:59Okay.
10:59Yeah.
11:00A couple times.
11:01Anyway, go ahead.
11:01It's the strength of the couple.
11:02What do you want me to tell you?
11:03I'm not saying they stayed together.
11:06Verlander, Justin Verlander, and Kate Upton.
11:07Another big one.
11:09And Derek Jeter, Murray, and Mariah Carey.
11:11Okay, there it is.
11:12I go Jeter, Beal.
11:13Jeter, Jessica Beal over Mariah Carey.
11:16Mariah Carey's a massive star.
11:17So, that could have been on tier three.
11:20She has a little trash element to Mariah Carey, too.
11:22But I will say that the magnitude of her personality, of her being,
11:28is what led me to put them on tier one.
11:31Okay.
11:33I remember talking to guys with the Yankees when Jeter was dating Mariah Carey
11:37and them saying they couldn't believe that Jeter would date her
11:40because she felt a little too wild and party girl for Jeter.
11:45Like, he was more button.
11:46Jeter was conservative?
11:46What if he was more buttoned down than that?
11:49And, but, you know, it didn't last long, if you remember.
11:52But, yeah, Jeter and Mariah Carey was a big one.
