00:09good afternoon everyone yes mike valenti is uh is a wall for the day he'll be back tomorrow
00:16i believe uh stoney here with the great rico beard you got kenny and david and rico i uh i
00:26guess i picked a really good day for me to wear my michigan state golf shirt because uh little did
00:31i know that there'd be chaos at your alma mater you're wearing the hat i mean by the way what
00:38sports fan even gives a rat's ass about who the school president is right now stoney i don't even
00:42know what a school president does i mean think about it it's you're i guess in charge of raising
00:49money that's about it kissing hands shaking hands kissing babies and yeah i mean it's not about
00:58academics anymore it's about fundraising yeah so the sports part yeah as far as the president
01:04real quick at least the school president has some type of a background
01:09any idiot can be a board of trustee person i'm sorry you don't need a background we'll get to
01:15you know we have a interesting take on that whole thing not just at michigan state but around a lot
01:21of institutions of higher learning in this state that i think is absurd but it shows you you'll you'll
01:28find out what little knowledge i have on this stuff but it's a beautiful day today beautiful day to be
01:35outside or inside like um david hall and uh watch the french open which i give him credit for because
01:44i
01:44like i love the majors i was i used to be a huge tennis fan not as much as i
01:49used to when i was
01:50younger i always was fascinated by rollin garros the french open because they play on red clay
01:57that's why nadal would win every year because he was a the europeans are clay court specialists and i
02:02think it's kind of cool one major is on clay the french open grass is you know next for wimbledon
02:10and then you have hard courts for the u.s open and um the australian open as well so anyway
02:18david
02:19you you love this crap don't you i do i do i watch it every year um i love the
02:24four majors wimbledon
02:25is my favorite out of all of them but yeah i was watching the french open out there and you
02:29all
02:29were looking at me like i was crazy because i was into the jokovic uh match because david we never
02:35know
02:35when you're actually serious let's just be for real like you just pick a heel and just die on
02:41to be antagonistic to fight to argue i don't know what you're talking about i've never done that
02:47before all right you know kenny i i hear i'm dude i'm behind the glass with him every single day
02:53yes
02:53you're spot on with that this one i'm serious about i watch it every year uh it's important here
02:59for jokovic to win that one you know because carlos alcaraz is out this year so um you know he
03:05can
03:05maybe win another major but no one cares about that well let me ask you a question since you follow
03:09it
03:09closer than most i contend before we get to the uh the topic du jour i contend that uh jokovic
03:20could be the greatest unappreciated athlete in sports history because people think he's kind of a
03:28richard well if you saw him today in his match and he was going after the crowd then i would
03:32say
03:33yeah i would agree with you he can't be a richard but yeah he's one of the greatest athletes out
03:37there
03:37it's incredible and he no matter how old he gets he keeps on you know competing and he doesn't win
03:43every major obviously but he's right there and he's he's a fascinating fascinating uh talent there's
03:49no doubt about it all right so you didn't mention that you'd love to go to wimbledon i've been to
03:56the
03:56u.s open i've been to u.s opens in golf um but i've never been to wimbledon i've been
04:07to the
04:08richmond 400 is my i've never been actually been to the grand prix believe it or not i've been here
04:1340
04:14years so that's kind of lame on my part but you know whatever rico what's your favorite event
04:20to attend non you know big four it was funny because when we brought this up and i'm like hey
04:28we can do this as a topic stony i've been trying to think about this for like the last 20
04:31minutes of
04:32what is the the non big four no baseball football basketball hockey that i've attended and i i i don't
04:44know now i i think that now when you were a a award-winning uh video journalist at fox 2
04:52you've
04:52had to cover something yes i've had to cover like i was out at the uh the the mis yeah
04:58out at mis in
05:00brooklyn and that was interesting to cover and i mean i from that to to like these weird school buses
05:09that go in a figure eight that look like they're gonna crash every time i don't even know what that's
05:13call but i'm just like okay i'm just here for the crash i don't even know what this is uh
05:19i've had
05:20to cover golf uh the buick open when it was in flint right uh especially when tyron blanc oh i'm
05:27sorry
05:28excuse me grand blanc grand david um i love the buick open but uh i i don't know if i
05:39have that one thing
05:40that's just non big four related that it's like oh i gotta attend this i know i i will say
05:47this
05:48the person who sits across from me i get inundated as you guys don't know every commercial break
05:56when we say 97 one and you hear the music playing and you hear the commercials i get three and
06:04a half
06:04four minutes of horse racing talk yeah and you need to come here i'm telling you saratoga we get
06:11there we'll get this we'll eat here we'll go there we'll do this i think one year i'm just going
06:17to
06:17surprise him and say you know what you've convinced me i'm going to see what this horse racing thing is
06:22all about right because he he talks about it all the time i've uh well i've been to saratoga once
06:30obviously not as many as he he's been i do and i've been to the preakness when i worked in
06:34washington
06:35and lived there uh but i've never been to the kentucky derby and that's on my major he talked me
06:42out of the derby he talked me because he's like the derby is too elitist and it's just too rich
06:47and
06:47it costs too much money oh yeah and it's and then basically he said it's changed he say ever since
06:53well every sport everything's changed i guess ever since covid and when it came back it's just been
06:58different now so he's like you'd have a much better time going to saratoga and and going to
07:05some of the other races rather than going to the kentucky derby because i said the same like do i
07:10need
07:10to go to the derby he was like no no you'll have a better time at the other places because
07:14you could
07:14just be regular guy yeah but he's see what he's doing is he's big time because he has pull with
07:21a
07:21lot of the you know the big time you know horse people he can you know get you know you
07:26guys clubhouse
07:27and you wouldn't have to you know deal with all the traffic and all the bs there so from what
07:33i
07:34understand but you know the one that i think that i would actually one event that i would actually like
07:39to do this now i'm big four and i may have a chance to do it it's the olympics oh
07:45that's right yes i would
07:47actually like 20 28 in la to the la olympics have you have you tried to get tickets to that
07:54no can i tell them i know you no no you can't do that at all no my wife tried
07:59to get tickets when
08:00they went on sale she was on a list for like if she wanted to go to the equestrian events
08:03and you
08:04know i said well if we're gonna go i'm not gonna put into you know track and field you know
08:08whatever
08:08there was nothing and they're really freaking expensive so hopefully in you know the next two
08:14years yeah i have a cousin that uh he did get tickets oh yeah so yeah for what event that
08:21i don't
08:21know that i don't know i didn't ask him yet skeet shooting good enough well then you know look the
08:27world cup's here this this in a few correct in a couple weeks correct and it was here and actually
08:34in detroit in 94 at the silver though i'm just not interested to go to a world cup match i'm
08:39just
08:39not what about a world cup or like the champions of the premier league over there no really no it's
08:45never interested me i did the you know what i guess i did the world cup because i had to
08:49go
08:50work it because we had to shoot a story on it this is when i was working for state right
08:54because they
08:55came up with the indoor grass that they built so we had to do a story on that grass for
09:00the university
09:02yeah i can cross that off the list soccer just doesn't do it for me and it'll get for those
09:07who out there who like soccer that's fine i played soccer when i was a kid for six years
09:11but watching it it's just we have any video of this no we need some don't we no what position
09:18did
09:19you play i was a uh fullback okay so that's like i played i was a goal i was a
09:23keeper in junior high
09:24school yeah so nah but it's just like watching it okay it's just a lot of action that really you
09:31don't see anything i know the problem with the only thing you witness is a couple people who die
09:35every match yeah then they come back to life the problem i have with soccer is there's too much play
09:40in the midfield where they don't do anything i don't as long as you give me you don't have to
09:44give me goals it's like hockey you don't give me a lot of goals all the time just give me
09:49some
09:49scoring chances as long as there's scoring chances in this in a soccer match i'm i'm happy
09:54and i i want to kind of do the world cup thing but not here uh because i just want
09:59to to be with
10:00the people over wherever it's it's at because it's it seems so intense two four eight five three nine
10:0897 97 david has is jonesing for the french open what's big for event either have you've been to
10:16that it was great or that you want to go to kenny what's yours so i'm on board with the
10:20horse racing
10:21stuff as well i would actually really like to go to one of those races harness racing or horse racing
10:25either one at this point but the one that i have is far more obscure and a little embarrassing i'm
10:30glad
10:30mike is not here because there would be possum stew jokes made left and right uh growing up in my
10:36house rolling no but we're you're not far off lumberjack olympics no of my family used to go up north
10:44every year to the asabo river they have a i know what that is exactly the canoe racing marathon
10:49from grayling to oscota big spectator event bigger than you might actually imagine i haven't been in
10:55years but it was one of my favorite things growing up it was one of my favorite non-major
11:00four sports events yeah you can make fun of it that's fine yeah you go to your aau games
11:05non-major non-big four that's a non-big 64 right that's correct i agree like that sport they'd
11:12have to you know vote to expand the tournament to let let the oscota canoe race in really wow
11:19yeah it's awesome don't knock it till you try man okay okay i i get it sadly i've heard of
11:25this event
11:26so oh yeah i've i have too i actually when we go up we go up north one year we
11:32actually went
11:33through grayling and it was ridiculous the traffic because that was the weekend the uh the race oh yeah
11:37big there's only one main road that goes through grayling yes so you're in a traffic jam for like 20
