Speaker 4 (12:08):
It's like I gotta do my update. Guys, we still
got to talk about the Portland Pickles.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
I had to go through the uh good, gosh three
I don't oh Rich Rich is the last one standing.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
They gave it to me.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Hold on, we just watched be on that list too, right,
Cousin J. Brown A J.

Speaker 10 (12:32):
Brown on the list? Cousins, I had forty five million,
He's at fourteen. It's Kyler Murray with forty six point one.
Lamar Jackson one so million.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
The Portland Pickles the baseball team, they decided to do
something cool once in a while where they incorporate a
fan and they bring a fan into the game.

Speaker 5 (12:52):
It's like the ultimate fantasy.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Situation like me, me, yeah, you kid, get over here.
And not only did the kid get in the game,
he hits a bump.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Dude, this kid had a game. He had a walk.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
I think he had like nine total basis something ridiculous, scored.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
A few runs.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
Then he gets up in a crucial situation and hits
a home run. Well, take a listen to the call, Hey, y'all.

Speaker 5 (13:22):
Catch left center ft.

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Kidding the fan, the fan hits a home run. The fan,
it's a fan. It's a fan. He pulled out like
you're the fan of the game. You're in the games especial,
you know. Promotion. Okay, but this story goes viral and
his kids like in his shorts and sneakers. In the

(13:51):
first I at bat, he's in his sneakers. In the
at bat where he hits the home run, he's in
his cleats. But this went viral and then it became
this online debate of this staged. Was this fake or
did this really take place? Obviously it happened, but was
it fake or not? Because then they end up giving
the kid a contract later on.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
So that's up for debate.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
Yesterday, we started talking about the Portland Pickles. But I
feel like that was perfect because we let the story
simmer a little bit. We let everyone have a chance
to see it, hear about it, and make their own decision.
And I want to ask you, first and first mostly
Fox Sports Radio Nation, was this a staged story or not?

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Because that seems to be the debate here.

Speaker 4 (14:34):
Instead of thinking automatically, wow, how cool, we automatically think, oh,
that's got to be BS has got to be staged.
But even if it was, let's say staged, wasn't it
pretty awesome? That's really my spin on it. Here the
Portland Pickles and rich you described them as like a
collegiate summer league. Yeah, it's a college d one players

(14:55):
that played during the summer to stay fresh, and yeah,
the Portland Pickles. Portland Pickles gave a random fan a
chance to get in the game, and apparently history was
made because people are raging about this. They gave a
random fan in that bat for fan appreciation night, So

(15:16):
in sort of a Savannah Banana's fashion, they're like, hey,
you lucky fan, you get to play with the Pickles tonight.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
And that's what his name, by the way, Eli Stenhouse.

Speaker 4 (15:29):
Really you get to play with the pickles tonight. Well,
Eli Stenhouse, because I don't know why they keep calling
him Dixie and the social media virus.

Speaker 5 (15:37):
That's his nickname. Oh what's his last name? Enormous? So
what's his name again, Danny? Just so I can give him.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Proper credit, Eli Dixie Steinhaus, Eli Steinhaus.

Speaker 5 (15:52):
Now let me set it up.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
So Steinhaus gets in here, they're like you Steinhaus, random fan,
and he's like, you know, no, and he reacts like
anybody would being picked out of a crowd, like me,
no way. But he turns on the showmanship. He takes
in that bat and he gets a walk, rich and
he has his sneakers on. That's important, has his sneakers on.

Speaker 5 (16:13):
He's just a fan.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Gets a walk, and then he steals a base and
maybe he stole a taco I don't know on a Tuesday.
But the crowd's like, no way, this is awesome, and
he leans into it and he's doing like his hulkster
thing like yeah, flexen.

Speaker 5 (16:31):
He waves up the crowd. Then he throw him in
the outfield. They throw him in.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Left field and he makes a pretty easy flyball, catch
a little.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Shag out there, and people like yeah, no, way.

Speaker 4 (16:46):
Now, automatically, I'm thinking, what do you mean, No way,
if you're a relatively decent athlete, or if you have
just minimal baseball experience, it's not that crazy to think
the guy shags a fly ball, it's just cool to see.
I mean it, this guy's between the ages of eighteen
and thirty. I don't do we know how old he is,
because I was gonna say, regardless if he played any

(17:07):
type of organized baseball or softball in the last couple
of years of his life, shagging a fly ball not
a tricky thing to do. I'm not saying it's easy,
but I'm saying, if you have any baseball experience, it's
not impossible. I mean, I'm saying it is easy, man
to catch a fly ball, a routine flyball on the outfield,
if you have any level of baseball No, how like,

(17:29):
that's not a hard.

Speaker 12 (17:31):
Thing to do.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
But then Rich he gets one more at bat. Here's
here's here's where it gets good. They leave this fan
fan appreciation night. They leave this fan in for one
more at bat. This is like everybody's fantasy at a
major league game, right, Like the Yankees are so frustrated.
Boone's like you, and I'm like me, Yeah, you get

(17:52):
on the mound, You're like what, this guy gets another
at bat and listen to what happens.

Speaker 5 (18:00):
Hey, if catch left cider feed Jdy gone. By the way,
that's a collegiate league. That's a great call. Letters one word?

(18:22):
Is that really what he says? Four letters? One word.

Speaker 11 (18:26):
Gone.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
This dude hits a home run as a fan who
just entered the game, and the crowd goes nuts and
the rest is history. Again Eli Steinhaus. They called them Dixie,
so Dixie delivered. Now the story goes viral, It's all
over social media. The crowd went wild, the call was great,

(18:49):
the moment was awesome. But everyone's saying that this Portland
Pickles thing was staged. Even if it was, you can't
guarantee home run in that moment. You think it's that
easy to just hit a home run. But is it
impossible that it was just a fan who has a
good swing? Rich If they picked you out of the stands,

(19:10):
you're good enough to hit one out. If you get
a hold of one, it's not impossible. So I'm here
to say, I'm Steve Cavino. I believe that clearly this
kid had baseball abilities. He had skills, maybe even better
than the team he was watching. But he's a baseball fan.
It's not crazy to think a baseball fan has some ability.

(19:32):
I think they picked a dude who was pretty good,
and he had a really awesome moment.

Speaker 5 (19:37):
I don't believe it was staged. I mean, I don't
know if it was. You can't stage a home run.
You can't. You can't guarantee that.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
But however, I do think that maybe they're like, we're
gonna put this kid in. He could play again. This
is collegiate summer ball. It's competitive, but if you've played
at a level, I guess that there's a chance you
can make contact if he knows a fan. Waltz comming,
I think it's a great fun story, But I think
what you said is more interesting. What are those fantasies

(20:05):
we all have because anytime you you've been at a
stadium and you grab a baseball and it's one of
those displays where it's like see how fast you could throw?

Speaker 5 (20:15):
I always, as a kid was like what if they
see me and they're like he's got perfect mechanics and.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
They're like, hey, the Met's bullpen coach wants to talk
to you, or honestly, I'll give you a sleazy one.
Every time you were like, you know, an adult establishment,
you would assume like, yeah, she you know, she's in
love with me like this. You know, well, remember that
time the Hawaiian Tropics bus broke down. They needed an
oil boy.

Speaker 5 (20:37):
Yeah, I sent them to the I sent them to
the town a couple of miles up the road. Yeah,
you optunity. I mean, that's everyone's like.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
If you're an extra on the set and you're an actor,
if you're an aspiring actor or actress and you're on
the set, you're you're wishing that like I don't know,
Scorsese makes eye contact with you and they're like, wait
a minute. Okay, you kidd you're the one hold on
for all the naysayers. And by the way, you could
share your fantasy that's fine eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. But for all the naysayers that are quick

(21:05):
to say this is a stunt, like Rich said, to
guarantee a home run.

Speaker 5 (21:10):
That's like, that's not a guarantee. If it's a stunt.
It if it's a stunt, it was a really well
executed stunt. Okay, then how do you explain this?

Speaker 4 (21:19):
I think you're putting these players on the team on
a pedestal and forgetting that other people have a particular
set of skills.

Speaker 5 (21:27):
This guy could be a decent baseball player.

Speaker 4 (21:29):
How do you explain Dave rolls on stage and he's performing, yeah,
and he's like you do you play?

Speaker 5 (21:37):
And the kid's like yeah, and he gets up there
and he shreds. He gets up there and he shreds
because he plays. You think that stage? Why are we
putting these.

Speaker 4 (21:46):
People on a pedestal like they're they're gods and we
can't like have any skill of our own to hold
our right, I know what you're saying. We didn't pick
a kid out of the crowd and be like all right,
guard Lebron James, Like it wasn't it wasn't that, Dan Byer,
What do you think, man?

Speaker 6 (21:59):
Well, first of all, like for a nine year old
they have like front row tickets to the Foo Fighters,
there's got to be something like of course.

Speaker 5 (22:07):
The trunks kids. Yeah, like that happens all the time. Yeah,
cause it's totally staged. That's why, yes, oh yes, because.

Speaker 12 (22:14):
It is no.

Speaker 4 (22:17):
Gut there and have them stink Dn Beyonce brings up
some girl to harmonize.

Speaker 5 (22:21):
You don't think they've gone over this, yeah right, Oh
my goodness, No, not all the time.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
There's there's often times at rock shows they'll see some
dude singing his heart out the whole time. They may
even hold a sign up and be like, yo, I
want to come up and play with you, and the
artists will be like can you play?

Speaker 5 (22:37):
And they'll be like, yeah, I can play.

Speaker 4 (22:38):
All right, let's see what you got and they turn
it out because they could play, just like this guy
could play baseball.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
He got a hold of one. It was a cool moment.

Speaker 6 (22:48):
This is the Barry Bond steroid argument, right, Like you
could take as many steroids, hgh, whatever you wanted, but
you still have to hit the baseball. And that's what
I think Cavino is trying to say.

Speaker 4 (23:02):
It is It is Dan, And you know I at
one last point, and I do want to talk to everybody.
Was the stage or not becomes the debate here and
your other fantasies. But if you really dissect that at bat,
they weren't trying to give them a meat ball. They
were trying to strike this kid out. They were trying
to pitch around them. Watch back the clip. I watched
the ball he hit a home run on seemed like
a seventy mile an hour down the middle fastball. I'm

(23:25):
not saying I'm hitting it out, but I'm just saying,
it's not like this collegiate summer league someone threw some
Adam Wainwright, you know, twelve to six breaking ball.

Speaker 5 (23:34):
That was that bucket bunch. You know, not debating that
this kid was a good ball player.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Yeah, no, that's obvious, right, But is it impossible that
a good ballplayer was just a fan at the game?

Speaker 12 (23:44):
No?

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Why is that impossible? Listen?

Speaker 4 (23:46):
I was arbitrarily picked once and I said this, and
I was not in on it. I was not like
in the media at the time. It was like we
picked Rich Davis. I was a college kid and I
had the chance to shoot three pointers during a TV
timeout in the Carrier Dome up at sir. Every three
pointer was like one hundred bucks. And I have told
the story, and I was honest where I air balled

(24:08):
the first one because I had never shot a basketball
with a clear backboard with twenty thousand people in an arena.

Speaker 5 (24:14):
I hit a couple.

Speaker 4 (24:15):
I think I walked over with like three or four
hundred dollars. I got hot for a second, but then
cold again. If they would have accidentally picked like some
kid that played high school basketball, I get what you're saying.
You could arbituily pick a win just because a guy
shows a little bit of skill level that means a
staged or no, that dude. They picked the dude who
was a fan. He's at the game and he actually

(24:37):
is pretty good. You know that's not an impossible thought.
And then again, like you say, you people are throwing
the word stage out there, like it's so easy to
just come up there and can.

Speaker 5 (24:48):
I ask you? Can I ask you a real question?
And it's a little dirty, so part of me.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
If you got kids in the car, I mean, I
would expect nothing less right, I was smut Davis.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
I would say, I just looked at me and gave
me like them tumbo. No, no, careful, Rich.

Speaker 4 (25:05):
Let's just say you're scrolling around some inappropriate Let's say
you stumbled across some inappropriate content on the internet. Cavino, Okay,
it's happening, and it's a so and so with a fan.
Do you believe some of those women will like film
with a fan or do I believe it? Or do
you think it's like a professional but he's calling himself

(25:28):
a fan for the video?

Speaker 1 (25:30):
No?

Speaker 5 (25:30):
I mean I believe there are stage moments like that
for sure.

Speaker 4 (25:35):
When some buses were driving down the block, it's like,
hey you, hey, kid, want to get in the bus
with these ladies?

Speaker 5 (25:40):
Like do you think that kid is arbitrarily on the street.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
Well, A lot of those are stage, There's no question
about that. That's just the gimmick, right, like, hey, we're
picking people up. Today's your lucky day. Yeah, right, A
lot of that stage. But I do believe that there
are times that they throw offers out there to fans.
How about the cash cab? Do you think that's always stage?
Let's hit up our guy, Ben Bailey. I do remember

(26:04):
that show and he said it wasn't. He said they
would randomly pick people. Damn Buyer, you're a great golfer?

Speaker 5 (26:10):
Is great? A good word can I say? But man,
if you were covering that's why I was silent.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
If you were covering some big golf tornament for Fox,
which I'm sure you have over the years, Dan Bayer,
big shot here at Fox Sports dB. If if they
were like, Hey, we're going to do a media contest
for ten grand then we pick a name out of
the hat from Fox Sports, Dan Bayer. Do you think
you could hit a putt in the pressure situation?

Speaker 5 (26:36):
Would you? Would we be shocked or you think you'd like,
that's possible.

Speaker 6 (26:40):
It's doable. Like I like in this situation, it's a
great hit a bomb like it was. It wasn't cheap,
it wasn't just over the left field. It wasn't a
Bartolo cologne like just throwing the bat out.

Speaker 5 (26:53):
It was a shot.

Speaker 6 (26:54):
And so like that's that's like the part and I'm
gonna get to your I'm gonna get to your question.
But like for Kevino to think that they're just gonna
like put some sixty two year old with arthritis in
his knees is the fan of the game, Like it's
that that's not going to happen. You want the fan
to be able to do something, and he did something extraordinary.
I don't know how you could stage a home run,

(27:16):
but I think that you pick someone that can be fun,
because that's what these minor league, summer league baseball leagues
are all about.

Speaker 5 (27:25):
So you're saying they may have knew the possibility was there. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (27:28):
Yeah, they knew that the kid didn't stink, just like
they knew that the nine year old can play electric
guitar at the concert. But at the Ryder Cup in
twenty sixteen in Minnesota, a fan was heckling the European
team and they called him out. They said, all right,
a hundred bucks, you make this putt.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
Justin Rose.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
I even think you could probably see the video put
one hundred dollars down, said all right, hundred bucks, if
you make this putt, it's yours. The guy came out.
If it doesn't go in the hole, it's forty feet past.
But it went in like it was cooking, and everybody
went nuts. That to me is the randomness of it,
of in a spur of the moment thing. I just

(28:08):
don't think that this level of athlete that was playing
in the game was I don't think that that was
a coincidence.

Speaker 5 (28:15):
It was random, but not. Yes, Okay, I'll give you
an example. I don't want to I don't want.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
To create a I don't want to kill the illusion
of all of our hopes and dreams. But I've been
in the audience on the price is right before the
price is right. They go to every audience member and
they're like, hey, tell me your backstory, tell me about
your life, tell me a fun fact. They interview everyone.
It's not arbitrary. Come on down the late great Rod Roddy.

(28:40):
It wasn't picking out of a hat. It was Oh,
Dan Byer, he's here with his you know, family in town,
and you have a fun fact about you. They are
finding interesting people in the crowd. So it's not arbitrary
when they say they're not. Yeah, so I agree. It's
that's part of the pre screening man, and that's not
It's still sort of random.

Speaker 5 (29:00):
They're just doing a little bit of due diligence.

Speaker 6 (29:02):
I'm talking to three guys here. Sorry, I just want
to make this point. Three guys, if you would take requests,
how legitimate our requests in radio not at all.

Speaker 4 (29:11):
Heynny that ta gave me my favorite lot, Yes, I
said for twenty years. Yeah, I'll try to get that
on for you. Yeah right right, Oh you want the
most popular song in America, You got it. We only
play it three times an hour already, but you know
what it's going to be coming up later on.

Speaker 5 (29:25):
That's the funniest thing. Can I hear Taylers swift? You know,
you could always say yeah, yeah, we'll get that on
for you. Way to ruin the secret, damn, But hold on.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
I do have one last little nugget for the story,
and I want to hear from everybody.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Again.

Speaker 4 (29:38):
We're talking about the Portland Pickles and Eli Steinhaus, who
was the random fan on fan Appreciation Day that went
yard in dramatic fashion, the crowd wind nuts. It became
such a story. I'm assuming most of you saw it
scrolling doing the bull scroll that the club offered him
a contract. Now I read that it was a one

(29:59):
day contract, but I saw the video. The video made
it seem like they gave him a contract for the
end of the year till the end of the year,
and he accepted.

Speaker 5 (30:06):
So that's where the story ended as far as I know.
But was it staged or not? Is the question.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
I think it's a great story, it's runny regardless of
whether it's staged or not. But again, whether, by the way,
do you know why people think it stage two rich
because when they see the clip of the home run,
he's wearing cleats. That's why I pointed out before that
he was wearing sneakers in his first that bat. But
it's like, is it that hard to believe that they
gave him a pair of spikes in the clubhouse, Like
because in the second at bat that he takes he's

(30:34):
wearing cleats. I think if you put a hundred guys
of his level talent up there, only a couple will
get lucky and rise to the occasion and hit a
home run.

Speaker 5 (30:47):
Even if it's a fastball that was jaz Chisholm.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
You're not guaranteeing a home run. He only hit three
in the home run derby that no one else is
funny too. He shows he comes out there in shorts
because again he's just a fan. He's like, hey, and
he's second and slides it in shorts. He put on
a show for the fans. It was kind of funny
to see.

Speaker 5 (31:07):
Not even joking when I say this.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
If this kid is a ballplayer that played at some
collegiate level, or you know, maybe he got scouted in
high school, never made it, just a dude that knows
how to play ball.

Speaker 5 (31:17):
Do you think this is a window to a bananas tryout?
I do, Yeah, I thought about that.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
I showed the clip to my parents and they said
the same thing, like, maybe maybe Banana's life. Yeah, maybe
the passion level, and he seems like a charismatic young dude.
Maybe maybe this gets him a tryout with the Savannah Bananas.

Speaker 5 (31:33):
I think so.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Yeah, he's got to learn how to do a cartwheel
or a flip or get some skills on stilts.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
But yeah, I think it it earns him a tryout,
for sure. It'd be a good story if he's real.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
I just got off the phone with the Portland Pickles
front office and nobody there can give me this guy's
contact information. They were like, I don't know. This just
feels it feels very minor league baseball, where this is
what they do to get attention.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
Hello Pickles, Sam heard me talking to them. You know,
you know that is true, and it's a shame. That's
why we bring it up.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
It's a shame that we have to always approach every
fun story from a skeptic standpoint, because everything's in attention
grab or an attempt to get likes on social media.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
This is what you thought about Roll, This is what
you thought Covino about the Browns photographer supposedly falling in
the water.

Speaker 5 (32:32):
Now yeah, yeah again, Yeah exactly. I'm like, you know
what this is stage?

Speaker 4 (32:35):
I did think that was stage because everything, unfortunately, is
used as a way to go viral. You know what
I want to I just I'm gonna take the approach
I like, which is I want to believe it. I
want to believe in Alien walked in front of a
ring doorbell and Compton.

Speaker 5 (32:51):
I want to.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
Believe that Rudy really was carried off the field Like that,
don't ruin it for me, Joe Montana and your facts.

Speaker 5 (32:59):
Did you see that Alien and Compton?

Speaker 4 (33:01):
Yeah, that's I want to believe in it, Danny. I'm
telling you, it's so much more fun to believe it.
That's what I'm saying. That's it's more fun.

Speaker 5 (33:11):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Like every time a story comes up, skepticism is as
you say, could you know the lead vibe?

Speaker 5 (33:18):
But even if.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Staged, they pulled off one of the coolest what would
you even call this stunts?

Speaker 5 (33:25):
Stunts in.

Speaker 4 (33:27):
A long time that we've seen in years. Because everything
has to go perfect, I've seen I've seen the opposite,
and the opposite sucks.

Speaker 5 (33:34):
Danny. How many times have you been to a Lakers game?

Speaker 4 (33:36):
Or I'm sorry to say a Clippers gamer some game
where they're like, at halftime, we're gonna have this person shoot,
or we're gonna get people if you could do a
lay up a free throw, and like they're just a
hopelessly terrible athlete.

Speaker 5 (33:46):
Yeah, they can't even make a layup. Kavino and I
were in.

Speaker 4 (33:48):
Vegas once and I won't throw the sponsor onto the bus,
but we did an event where they flew us out
to Vegas to host this cool event and it was
with NBA legend John Sally. They set up this whole
big ass setup for a fan to take a million
dollar shot, right, And when I tell you, Danny, this
million dollar shot was throw it over a volcano, over

(34:10):
a car one hundred yards away. And then they hand
the basketball to some little old lady and I'm like this, well, like,
what have we been doing here to gim me?

Speaker 5 (34:19):
Do do you remember that? Like it was it was
a I was like, this is this is the if
they give it to a young kid and it was
a half court shot. That's fair. Make it fair, make
it fun. And I like this story a lot. It's
a good I'm glad you brought it up.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
I forget chasing forget chasing MJ as the big whale.
We want for an interview on the air. I'm not
going to rest until I get Dixie on the show.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
Dixie.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Yeah, I was gonna say Danny crossed off Stallone and
Jordan and all the other wishless guests. Tom Brady, No, no, no, Dixie.
Let's wrap up the phone calls. Was this Portland Pickles
story where the random fan hits a home run?

Speaker 5 (35:00):
Was it staged or not? Or what are your thoughts?
I think it was.

Speaker 4 (35:04):
I think it could be staged, but also an amazing
coincidence that the guy delivered.

Speaker 5 (35:09):
It could have very well been like, yo, he looks athletic.
Oh he struck out.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Okay, So you and I actually do disagree because I
believe that they did pick a fan. You think it
was arbitrariers could be, but they picked a fan who
could actually play, And I don't think that's impossible to believe. Okay,
that's enough. You know our buddy Mike and Cincinnati said.
Cavino probably also believed this a great old school reference.
If you watched wrestling, remember the wrestler earthquake. Yeah, remember

(35:35):
how he started. Jimmy Hart picked like just a fat
guy in the stands and he's like you. And then
it was like a plant the whole time, like he
became a heel. Not everything staged, but you know, maybe
this was. Let's go to Pat in Pennsylvania.

Speaker 9 (35:49):
Hey, Pat, how you guys doing. I just wanted to
share a story. I played a three inning game in
Camden Yards with Scott McGregor, a former major league pitcher,
throwing pretty fast, and I'm a twenty year old guy.
Hit one off the wall, so and a bunch of
people actually did well.

Speaker 3 (36:09):
No one hit it over.

Speaker 9 (36:10):
But it was a regular baseball game. We all played
the field, so hitting a ball out, you know, is probably.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Yeah, you know, not to kiss ass, but you know
who we should probably ask later. Our boss.

Speaker 4 (36:23):
I don't know if he wants it out there, but
he's done like fantasy camp, like we you wear former
big leaguers pitch against you. You could you take swings
like and I'm sure some of those guys that you
got the money and time and you are in shape
enough to go to like a professional major league baseball
fantasy camp, you know, you don't think some of those
thirty forty fifty year old guys could still rip the ball.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
I do.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
I think we're giving way too much credit to They're
still mere mortals and these are collegiate athletes.

Speaker 5 (36:51):
Maeah, they just picked a dude who was good, if
not better.

Speaker 4 (36:54):
Yeah, okay, it's a great point. It's a great point.
Let's say, how to Eric in Illinois. Eric, you're on, buddy, Hey.

Speaker 8 (37:00):
Good afternoon, good show.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Thanks man, always always trying our best. What's up, man?

Speaker 8 (37:05):
You do good enough? I just when you brought up
the fact that he was given a contract when I
was a kid and I'm seventy three the Cardinals if
you caught a fowl ball that you were supposed to
hold it up and then the hushers would of course
come over and check the see if you're okay, but
they would offer you a work ons, but a contract
with the cargoes for catching the foul ball. And I

(37:28):
just always thought that was cool.

Speaker 4 (37:29):
That is pretty cool. By the way, I love his endorsement,
we're good enough, Dandy. I was actually gonna text you
new production and Rich, they're good enough. I mean, honestly,
it's pretty fitting.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
I'll take it.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
I like it.

Speaker 5 (37:43):
I appreciate that. And by the way, I do think
that's pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (37:46):
It's like Rich Davis and myself we're both lords of Scotland.
I don't know if you guys know that. Yeah, true story,
because we actually own one foot right, one foot well,
we both owne property in a field somewhere in Scotland.
So we're official lords by definition of you. We own
a square foot of land. We have a car that

(38:07):
says we are lords of Scotland.

Speaker 6 (38:10):
Wow, sounds like a bad morning show. I'm an official
Duke of Hazzard, Kentucky. Seriously, I've got it. It's one
Z but I've got the proclamation well, as is my
wife and son.

Speaker 5 (38:22):
You know, speaking of you said the Duke of Hazzard.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
Coincidentally, today is the twentieth anniversary twenty years ago today
in five Jessica Simpson came out in those Daisy Dukes.
Just a little timestamp that was twenty years ago, the
remake of Dukes of Hazzard, which is damn times flying. Coincidentally,
I spent an extra time in the bathroom today with
a whole other story.

Speaker 5 (38:43):
Oh that was a Duke of Hazard.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
It's Taco Tuesday. Brolet let me hey you up with something.
Then we'll go to Dan Buy for an update. I'm
gonna pose a question. I'm gonna let you simmer. I'm
gonna let you think about this, and then we'll go
get Dan's update.

Speaker 5 (38:57):
You mean, Duke of Hazzard, Kentucky. Yes, thank you. It's
in my Twitter profile.

Speaker 4 (39:03):
By the way, so Cove, we made a bet in
the beginning of the season thousand dollars whoever had the
better record Mets or Yankees, and then we up the
ante one hundred dollars additionally for each game that the
team is better. So let's just say the Yankees had
a fifteen game better record than the Mets. That's fifteen

(39:24):
hundred bucks. No, I'm sorry, that's twenty five hundred dollars.
If they're three games better, thirteen hundred. As of right now,
with fifty games to go, the Mets have been playing
not great, but like I said earlier, they're losing. The
Yankees are losing in dramatic, unbelievable, embarrassing fashion, like you

(39:46):
can't write it worse than they're playing right now. Well,
much like our good friends at DraftKings or all the
great gambling sites out there, they give you payout options
if you're you're trying to do like a dealer, no deal.
If you get let's say you have a six leg
parlay and you've hit four of them, they'll be like, hey,
if you want to cash out, now, here's the offer.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
So the Mets are up three games on the Yankees,
trying to cash you out. Bro, the Mets are up
three games on the Yankees.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
I'm gonna give you the chance right now, because if
the season ended today, you would owe me thirteen hundred bucks.
I'll give you that you might I'll give you the
best bud discount since we've known each other for years.
I'll kick off five hund though, if you want to
end the bet now eight hundred.

Speaker 5 (40:30):
I don't feel like that's a solid deal. I don't
do it.

Speaker 4 (40:32):
The banker's ripping me out. If you're only up three games.
You're up three games. You're not really cutting me a deal.
If you said five four hundred, that might be like deal,
I'm out of it because the Yankees suck. But like
you're only up three games, you're overly confident to even
think that's a deal. I thought I was being very generous.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (40:54):
I don't think your team is all that good. I
know my team's better than they just have like a
curse on them or something.

Speaker 5 (40:59):
I don't know. Alright, so no deal. Well let me
think about it. You go open another suitcase. Then let's
go to Dann Buyer. The duke. What's up? Duke? What's up?
Can you know? A duce of hazard? Is that what
you called it earlier? The deuceive? All right, we got
a bunch of news in the NFL.

Speaker 6 (41:19):
All corners of the NFL, Shodoor Sanders is going to
start a quarterback for the Browns and their preseason opener
coming up Friday against the Panthers. Other quarterbacks on the
roster ding dub Joe Flacco is a veteran. He's not
gonna play, so it goes to Shodoor Sanders. Of course,
the team signed Tyler Huntley yesterday, Colt said. Coach Shane
Stikeen says, Anthony Richardson is going to start against the
Ravens Thursday and play into the second quarter. He'll be

(41:41):
relieved by Daniel Jones, who will finish out the first half.

Speaker 4 (41:47):
My thought is I rather see history than see my
team lose ten to one, Like at least you're seeing
something like yeah, no one wants to see their team
get beat. But if you're gonna get beat, witness something cool, right,
Like if your team's gonna lose, do you want the
other team to win on errors? Or do you want
to see a slugger hit a five hundred foot home run?

Speaker 6 (42:05):
Team?

Speaker 4 (42:05):
Why would you ever root for the other team, regardless
of history, accolades? Who cares about the other team? I
think it's like ingrained instincts from when you played sports.
If you're getting no hit or you're losing, you want
your team to come back. Always, I don't care about
the other team. You're not supposed to care at all
about the other team.

Speaker 12 (42:23):
I know.

Speaker 4 (42:24):
But what I'm saying is, but I do like your
spin today. I'm a fan of history. So usually usually
i'd say, yo, do I rather be on hand the
Dodger Stadium to say a one hitter or a no hitter?

Speaker 5 (42:35):
The answer is no hitter? Right. If you're watching your
team impolily.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Think you're the minority here. No one wants to see
their team get hit, regardless of history. It's history for
the other team, it's not history for you. But in
this case, I think when your team is struggling, the
Mets of lost eight of nine. They're the most streaky
team in baseball, like the Mets. If you've noticed, they'll
rip off seven of eight, and then they'll lose seven
of eight. Then they'll rip off seven of eight. It's
it's how this team looks. And you just got to

(43:01):
hope if you're a fan of a team like the Mets,
that they make it to the postseason and then they
get hot in that moment. But my thought was put
the Mets aside. Who cares about my team when your
team is struggling. Sometimes I feel like hitting rock bottom
is necessary to make a move, make an adjustment, have
that player's only meeting. That may be meaningless, but at

(43:23):
least you're trying. Like to me, Soto hitting the home
run run's hitting rock bottom eminem style. It's a good
song rock bottom, because you can only move up from there.
So I do understand what you're getting at, because in
life that also is the case.

Speaker 5 (43:43):
Sometimes I know.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
It's one inning, it's one game, But in football, we
always talk about that team that gets stuck at nine
and eight and eight and nine, and they just they're
not bad enough. But they're not good enough. I'm saying
right now. Sometimes getting your ass whooped is not a
bad thing.

Speaker 5 (43:58):
What's up, debate? I got a question for you guys.

Speaker 6 (44:00):
Just in this scenario, so Soto hits the home run
on a one to zero count, there probably weren't enough
pitches to sense the crowd like where they're at. So
if the crowd is on their feet and You'rejan Soto,
do you think they're cheering for the no hitter? Or
do you think they're cheering for him? And vice versa,
Like if you're Gavin Williams, are you thinking that the

(44:23):
fans know that it's history or do you think that
they're against you? Like, because I would probably maybe because
I'm a class half empty sort of guy. In both situations,
I would think it's the opposite. So if I'm Williams,
I'm thinking the Mets fans want them to home. Or
if I'm Soto, I'm thinking, why are they cheering for
Gavin Williams.

Speaker 5 (44:39):
To get the no no?

Speaker 4 (44:41):
I think they are. It's in city field, right, it's
a home game for the Mets. The people that are
standing are all rooting for Soho to break up the
no hitter, every one of them except for Rich That's
why I find out hot. I do, but I do
like the spin of Sometimes in life and in sports,
if you're dead last and rock bottom, you can't go

(45:04):
any further down. That is when you're forced to make
the change and move your way up. It's if you
understand that. I'm not saying that away from them today.
I'm not saying fireman Dozo or bench Soto. I'm just
saying sometimes rock bottom feels a lot better than man.
We're just still sucking. Like in a relationship, if you

(45:25):
keep having mild fights, I feel like that relationship, you'll
stay with the wrong person. But if she's like I,
hey you, and she packs a bagg and go stays
with her parents for a week. Yeah, but you shouldn't
have to hit up bottom to make that change. Let's
say you have a drinking problem or weight issue. It
doesn't have to be, you know, anything that serious, but
you have an issue you have to wait till Like

(45:47):
if you have a rash on your ass, you have
to wait until you're bleeding before you take care of it.
You like you have you hit rock bottom you do
to make that change. I think that's a mistake. I'm
not saying it's not, but look around you. If you
think most people don't wait until the rash bleeds. If
you don't think most people wait until I don't know,

(46:08):
they have a heart attack or something serious. You don't
have to to your homeless, to your bankrupt. The thing is,
that is what people do. I know it's not to
mean you have to do that. I know it's not
a laughing matter. But all the things you just spoke up,
everything from homelessness to drug problems, to wait problems to everything.
Most people do wait until some stuff goes real wrong

(46:30):
and they're like, oh, gotta change it. It's not that
they wait, rich is that there's nowhere else to go.
As Richard Gear said, I've got nowhere else to go. True,
It's really it's just a matter of default. It's your
only option, or you know, you jump off a bridge. Unfortunately,
it's like where else do you go? When our video
guys spot let me pull you in the mix. Spot

(46:54):
Spot's the type of guy that flexes at the gym spots,
the type of guy that like shows off his legs.
I got nice himself. Yeah, he calls himself the man
with bulletproof leg It's true. But and he parades and
kicks them through the hallway. Spot, before you were this, uh,
this stallion of a man. You are today such a stallion?

Speaker 10 (47:14):
What jump started all this having a heart issue, having
to have surgery because I ignored my health for the.

Speaker 5 (47:22):
Wasn't it losing breath in Vegas?

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Uh?

Speaker 5 (47:26):
It was a hike, right, Yeah, on a hike.

Speaker 10 (47:27):
No, it was on a hike and I could barely
It was like, it wasn't even that that intensive a
hike and I could barely breathe.

Speaker 5 (47:34):
Yeah, he lost his breath at a spearmitt rhino cow Vegas.
Is that what we were calling you, duncan chic? Yeah,
they took my breath away. I was barely breathing. So
but no, I mean and now look at him. Spot
needed to have quintuple bypass do you hear me?

Speaker 4 (47:47):
Now? Quintuple bypass surgery? To go from a guy that
didn't care about his health to the guy that cares
the most in the room about his health.

Speaker 5 (47:55):
Okay, So ask him.

Speaker 4 (47:56):
Do you think he, looking back, wish he would it
made a change sooner? Or do you think, oh, going
rock bottom is the only way he could have got here?
I think going to the doctor and them saying uh,
Christian spot, You're gonna need surgery.

Speaker 5 (48:12):
Was the eye opener. I think, yeah. I think rock
Bottom really hammered home the point. Hmm. If I didn't
have that level of motivation, I wouldn't have stuck with
it again.

Speaker 4 (48:23):
Cavino relationships, I guess had serious stuff, drug issues, drinking issues.

Speaker 5 (48:28):
A lot of times police need to be involved.

Speaker 4 (48:31):
A lot of times there need to be there needs
to be, unfortunately, interventions, an escalation to the point where
it's like I'm not dealing with her anymore. Or a
woman who's with a really bad guy. Sometimes it has
to get to a level where it's like, now you
have to leave him. He's so bad, look what he
did or something. So he's a threat to your life. Yeah,
essentially something threatening your life, essentially.

Speaker 5 (48:53):
And keep this in mind.

Speaker 4 (48:54):
I did say I like Rich's spin on it today
because what Soto did by breaking up to know him
took away that feeling and sense of urgency that they're
hitting rock bottom and they need to really step it up.

Speaker 5 (49:06):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
If the Mets are trying to fight for the division
and assert themselves in the National League, if they've lost
eight of nine and the last one was.

Speaker 5 (49:14):
No hit at home That to me is a kick
in the nuts.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Okay, stone run sort of softened that blow to the
point where it's like, now it's like, oh they lost again, Bob,
but they know Soto hit a home run. I still
subscribe to you never root for your team to get
no hit, but I like the spin on it because
it forces them to move forward. But based on that theory,
let's say it's your child that's struggling.

Speaker 5 (49:38):
Do you root for them to hit rock bottom in
order to make that change?

Speaker 4 (49:41):
You know what I mean, like not rock bottom if
it affects their like, their life, their safety.

Speaker 5 (49:46):
But I'm saying if.

Speaker 4 (49:49):
I mean, let's say your daughter was dating a guy
that's a bad guy, and you're like, yeah, he's I
don't want this guy in her life he stinks. You
would almost be like if she caught him cheating red handed,
or like she got away unscathed, you would root for that.
You're rooting for the reality check that's really yeah, that's
what we're getting at. Okay, So your thoughts do you
ever based on Rich's thought here about hitting rock bottom?

(50:12):
That might be a different way of looking at it,
But do you ever root for your team to get
I no hit, let me. Is this the best solution
for your team to make that change. I'm watching your
Yankees right now. They have a three two lead in
the eighth. Yeah, gold Schmidt hit a home run and
they're five. They've lost five in a row, and it's
an absolute nightmare struggling. If the Rangers fly the way

(50:35):
over the next they have five outs left, one out
in the eighth, five more chances if the Rangers somehow
walk this off.

Speaker 5 (50:43):
Is Aaron Boone gone?

Speaker 4 (50:44):
I don't know if he's gone, but I think you
do something with Devin Williams. You got a bench, a
few people. You gotta do something to shake it up,
because there's definitely panic and and something going on behind
closed with this team. It's I've never seen anything like it,
to be honest, Well your thoughts at coven on Rich eight, seven, seven,

(51:07):
nine nine on Fox.

Speaker 5 (51:08):
You let me turn the phones on. Get the phone's going?
Most interactive show, shouldn't they?

Speaker 4 (51:13):
I wasn't watching the Mets game, but shouldn't have Williams
pitched around Soto in that situation.

Speaker 5 (51:21):
That's a ninth inning, one out. He's been dealing. He's
been dealing. But if anyone's going to break up the no.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
No pizzathing next the Malonzo's hotter than soda. I mean,
Soto's been cold lately, so I mean.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
You got pitch something.

Speaker 4 (51:33):
No, you don't have confidence. You don't have confidence in
your stuff. You're nine innings d but you're in one
hundred and ten pitches. I mean, come on, Gavin Williams again,
props to him, went nine innings with one out on
Soto breaks up the no hitter with a bomb, but
he still lose. A metiful question for you. If you're
a pitcher, I guess the answer might be simple. But
if you're a mid level Gavin Williams like, you know

(51:55):
you're in the big league, so clearly you're one of
the best, but not a household name.

Speaker 5 (51:58):
I mean he's seven and four, he's a solid see. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
But what I'm saying is, if Wan Soto's the guy
that broke up your no hitter, do you hate Wan
Soto forever?

Speaker 5 (52:09):
I mean, you don't love him anymore.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
No, But I'm saying, if you're a guy that made
it to the big leagues and you're a good picture
but not he's not an All star, I'm not a
Hall of Famer, a guy that you know. But Wan
Soto's the guy that took away your one moment of glory.
Is that we're talking about the ultimate competitors to take
things this far. So here's what I know for fact,
they never forget it. Oh yeah, that that's a mental

(52:31):
note that stays with them for the rest of their life.
So in any key at Batton Soto's up, this guy
is gonna be like, I hope he strikes out. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
look without a doubt eight seven, seven ninety nine on
Fox and of course always available at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio on social media. So let's be interactive.
Let's let's start on Long Island. Brian, you're on a

(52:52):
Cavino and Rich. Just the idea work, good man, Just
the idea of hitting rock bottom at a job, a relationship,
sports where I think sometimes you do have to be
in a terrible load desperation mode to actually make a change,
and I think Soto took that away from the Mets
by hitting a whole run. I almost feel like the
Mets should have been no hit today. We often talked
the Cowboys and Steelers and teams like that, who are

(53:14):
always like good enough where you really don't have to
do anything chastic, right, So that's what we're getting at, right,
So comment on.

Speaker 8 (53:22):
The Mets here, Yeah, I think Soto definitely sold the
time for change from the Mets too. In my opinion,
they need they need a new hitting coach at.

Speaker 7 (53:30):
The very least.

Speaker 9 (53:32):
They've been in a huge slump here lately and Dankey's
awful need to change.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Yeah, by the way, too much talent on that Mets
roster to just be having one of the lowest batting averages, Like,
there's too many good beats.

Speaker 5 (53:43):
So I don't want the obvious to be lost in
this conversation either. Though.

Speaker 4 (53:47):
It's a cool conversation and I love your spin, Rich,
but it's like, how about, Hey, I'm happy wants Soto
broke up the no hitter he hit his twenty six
home run, Like, how is that.

Speaker 5 (53:57):
Not part of the thought process here?

Speaker 4 (54:00):
Hey, man, at least he broke it up and they
didn't get no hit Wan Soto hit his twenty sixth.
Man band aid, Yeah, Rich is saying he's uh looking
at it from a different perspective, Right, what else do
we got?

Speaker 5 (54:16):
Let's go to Bruno. What's up, Bruno, what's up? What's Bruno?

Speaker 3 (54:20):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (54:20):
Brothers?

Speaker 5 (54:21):
I love it.

Speaker 3 (54:21):
Hey, listen, you know I would never want to see
my team get no hit. To think about this, and
it happens all the time. And your football team is
tripping along, you're not making any wins, and all you're
doing is you're jonsing for that for that draft pick,
and uh, they pick up those extra two three wins
at the end of the year and they end up
losing that draft pick. The Giants had number one. I'm

(54:43):
not a Giants unfortunately, the jetsam. But they had number
one last year and they won that stupid game and
it dropped them back. I out, Yeah, you're root for
your team to lose, for sure.

Speaker 4 (54:52):
There there are times where losing is actually winning and
I and I think that in this case, I'm a
I'm a firm believer that the Mets are struggling and
it's being if you're an East Coast guy.

Speaker 5 (55:03):
We're on the West coast.

Speaker 4 (55:04):
But both baseball fans of New York teams, the Yankee
stinking has disguised how the Mets are stinking too. I
really think that the Yankees are just stinking in a
different way.

Speaker 5 (55:14):
Rich.

Speaker 2 (55:15):
How do you know though, if you were no hit,
that that would be rock bottom. That could send some
teams into more of a spiral.

Speaker 5 (55:22):
Danny, that's a good point. You're right.

Speaker 4 (55:23):
It's like, you know, you're right, if someone gets caught
doing some dumb stuff, they could either improve themselves or
that's like, you're right, that starts even the worst spiral.

Speaker 6 (55:31):
Yeah, and I even think that the no hitter it
may seem like it's rock bottom, but it also could
be a fluke thing, like where good teams no hit.
You're yeah, yeah, like so that's just you know, it
just happens, and maybe you don't necessarily realize it that.
I mean, you know that you're going through it. But
the no hitter maybe it would magnify it, but maybe
you would just think, oh, that's just an off chance
sort of thing happening.

Speaker 4 (55:52):
I get what Danny's saying too, in great point dB
Dan Bayer and Danny g It's like, all right, let's
say let's say you have a boozing ish you right, Rich,
You're boozing, yeah, and you get into a fender bender.
You're thinking, well, he survived, he's okay, thank god. Maybe
this is a wake up call and he straightens up

(56:12):
after this?

Speaker 5 (56:13):
Are you telling the story of Gordon Bombay, my favorite
hockey coach?

Speaker 4 (56:16):
But like Danny g insinuated, it could also just add
to the downward spiral, like look what he did well.
You don't know that it's automatically the opportunity to turn
things around.

Speaker 5 (56:29):
It's always on that person or that team.

Speaker 4 (56:32):
You're making good points as well, So we'll leave it
to you at Covin on Rich eight, seven, seven, nine
nine on Fox. Do you feel like your team, you know,
family members, coworkers. Do you feel like sometimes rock bottom
is needed to make a real change? And I think
that I'll say one last time, I We'll move on
Juan Soto. You would think I'd say, oh, he broke
up the no hit or with a solo home run.

(56:54):
I m was sot to aggravated. I wanted the Mets
to get no hit to prove a point, like, yo,
you better step it up, you bums. Come on, you
got no hit. You've lost eight of nine. The no
hit again, I feel like is a kicking the nuts?
What where the solo home run?

Speaker 12 (57:07):
Now?

Speaker 5 (57:07):
The box scores four to one? You lost? I don't know.
I think you've done a great job explaining it like that.
I feel what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (57:13):
I don't necessarily agree with what you're saying, but I do,
like I love him, been on it, and I'm just shocked.
I was shocked guys that Rich was mad that the
Mets broke up the no hitter. So your thoughts, what's up?

Speaker 5 (57:26):
Sam? Your feedback is welcome. What's up? Sam?

Speaker 13 (57:29):
You know you've hit rock bottom in college football when
your team has been shut out three times in a
season and you hadn't been shut out in twenty three years.
And that happened to the Iowhak guys in twenty twenty three.
They were shut out three times to the three best opponents,
shut out zero points. And so that's that's humiliating for
the fans, that's humiliating for the players. And when it

(57:50):
happens three times in a season it hadn't happened since
the year two thousand, that's a wake up call.

Speaker 5 (57:54):
Zero point zero.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
That's a decent point, Sam too, because like we already established,
how do you know if that's rock bottom, maybe it
could get worse.

Speaker 5 (58:04):
You don't even know yet.

Speaker 4 (58:07):
The Bicoastal Covino and Rich show later today giving away
prizes if you could repeat verbatim Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom.
You know Mike that runs this place. He's the man
Mike who runs this place. I missed Mike. I haven't
seen him, but got words of wisdom.

Speaker 5 (58:23):
Ah, we talk about him all the time.

Speaker 4 (58:25):
And we also got Midweek Major the biggest stories in
the world of sports and pop culture.

Speaker 5 (58:30):
We're gonna break it down. Are they Midweek or Major?
But rich?

Speaker 4 (58:33):
Before we talk style and Schottenheimer and Colin Cowherd and
everything else.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
Do you believe in miracles?

Speaker 7 (58:42):
Dude?

Speaker 5 (58:43):
I know it's one of your favorite songs. You sex
a thing. Do I believe in miracles? Like you believe
in mirrors?

Speaker 4 (58:50):
Like like a guy could lift up a car you
know was adrenaline phone or like like like real miracles?

Speaker 5 (58:57):
It was always the Granny story that picked up a
cardiss ave someone's life. Yeah, like I mean miracles?

Speaker 1 (59:03):
Ye?

Speaker 3 (59:03):
Why not?

Speaker 5 (59:03):
Of course I do? Sure? Well, I like to I'd
like to think so right to make sure it's nice
to believe things like that.

Speaker 4 (59:09):
There was a two part doozy in the news today
and it involves one of your hero So I just
want to throw it out there in case the Fox
Sports Radio nation hasn't seen it. Your boy, the Holkster
our childhood hero, Hulk Hogan was laid to rest and
his daughter was a no show at the funeral. So
the story was she didn't show up because he said

(59:30):
he never wanted one. She would know it's his daughter,
So I mean, if anyone would know, right, But you
know who did show up? The hulkster cloud that was
running wild in the sky and running wild on you.
I know you're thinking, saw the hulk Holgan Hulkster Cloud.
You gotta see well, post it on our Instagram in

(59:55):
the air above the funeral. It's the hulkster flexen above
the funeral. Dude, it's the wildest thing. It's it's come on, bro,
it's too much of a Girl's that?

Speaker 5 (01:00:07):
What you're gonna do?

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
What you're gonna do when the hulkster Cloud runs wild
on the sky and you, brother, what got Doro? I
can't wait for Danny g or Byer has to add
this to his update. By the way, I mean, I
think this is big. I don't know if you should
add it to the update, but please take a look
at the hulkster Cloud. Our our guy Spot will be

(01:00:30):
posting that momentarily if he wants to, Like it's a
miracle man, it's pretty cool.

Speaker 5 (01:00:34):
It is pretty cool.

Speaker 4 (01:00:36):
I mean usually when people are like, look at the cloud,
don't you see blank? I like, it's a cloud, But
honestly it it does look like the Hulkster are flexing
in the sky. It's wild. What are the chances before
rangers gotta run around base in the bottom of the
nine on a full count? Come on, implode, Yank? If

(01:00:56):
they implode Rich, then I just got to take a
page out of the Diggy Day of his book of
fandom called a draw All right, Rock, you can only Yeah,
they both stink.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
How about you both get a refund. There's no bet anymore.
It's off. It's off. I'm calling it off. There's no money.

Speaker 2 (01:01:14):
You don't need a refound. It's crazy. I just saw
the cloud right now. That's that's like God goofing with
us the Hulkster cloud.

Speaker 4 (01:01:22):
Brother, did you see the side by side like they've
shown you the Holkster flexing and the cloud, And.

Speaker 5 (01:01:27):
It's like, it's, ah, what what do you believe in?

Speaker 3 (01:01:32):
More?

Speaker 4 (01:01:32):
The Hulkster cloud or the alien that was caught on
the ring doorbell in Compton both or.

Speaker 5 (01:01:38):
Or the uh the big mac that looks like Steve Harvey.
Have you seen that one?

Speaker 12 (01:01:45):
You?

Speaker 5 (01:01:47):
Isn't it? Ai? Wait a minute, I squitted my eyes.
It's a Steve Harvey Berger.

Speaker 6 (01:01:55):
I can't find any pictures in my photo album on
my phone except that one always stands out. Like I said,
that Steve Harvey Hamburger look alike.

Speaker 5 (01:02:06):
That's great, That's hilarious. All right.

Speaker 4 (01:02:10):
You know what I want to get into this because
Colin Cowherd. We love Colin. He's always been cool with us.
In fact, Colin believes very much in what we do.
Different from him, But Colin's a pal, Colin's a radio tycoon.

Speaker 5 (01:02:26):
He's a legend in the game for sure, stars Stars.

Speaker 4 (01:02:31):
Colin Cowherd has always had just a hilarious problem with
grown men wearing their hat backwards, especially quarterbacks, coaches, people
that are supposed to be in some type of alpha
authoritative position. This has always been a cow leaders grownups,
adults men lead.

Speaker 5 (01:02:50):
Oh man, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:02:53):
Hit for the Texas Rangers. It's first and second, bottom
of the ninth. Let's go one outs, two outs, two outs, Okay,
and Garcia's up. I can't watch it makes me sick
to my stomach. Dude, I'm serious, I can't watch it anymore.
Let's go to dB for a quick update. Yeah, let
me just quick rap this up. Then you guys can
get into the cow Herd Schottenheimer stuff. It is three

(01:03:15):
two Yankees ninth inning, Aaron Boone on his way to
the mound. Dodgers did the Cardinals three to one in
the fifth. Right now, show hey.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
Otani struck out eight and four innings, also at his
thirty ninth home run of the season for LA.

Speaker 4 (01:03:28):
Got some MVP stuff right there, right absolutely, jeez, Ohtani
is legend a right here we go. Okay, one one.
I know I can't do play by play, but keep
an eye on this Rangers Yankees game. Let's talk about
this cow herd thing. Well, no, it's also very cool
that we are even talking football. As we established, it's

(01:03:48):
a preseason weekend. It starts tomorrow. My birthday weekend starts tomorrow.
So I'm excited.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Man.

Speaker 5 (01:03:56):
We got baseball, we got football, we got my birthday
and you already said it.

Speaker 4 (01:04:02):
Colin the best in the game, but has one of
his pet peeves and He's made it very clear he
hates when quarterbacks coaches anyone wears a backwards hat because
it makes you look like a like a man boy.
You gain no respect that way. However, Kenny Griffy Junior
had no problem with it. Fred Durst had no problem
with it. Now Colin had a problem not only with

(01:04:26):
a hat, Shottenheimer, with the backwards visor.

Speaker 5 (01:04:30):
Take a listen.

Speaker 12 (01:04:31):
You know I don't like backward hats. What's worse as
a backward visor. That's a two win team. I'm taking
away four wins. So when you sit in front of
a podium, you're representing the Cowboys, you're representing a twelve
billion dollar corporation. I think you got to do better
as a head coach and have advisor backwards.

Speaker 4 (01:04:50):
Brian Schottenheimer visor backwards, which, by the way, is a
weak ass look. But man Colin had a problem with it,
and he's got to love the act that today at
Dallas Cowboys camp, this is how Brian Schottenheimer started his
his little meeting with the media.

Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
Oh sorry, Colin, let me turn my hat around.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
You know, visor alone backwards forwards, whatever is a stupid look. No,
it should come with fake hair and only fake who
wears a visor? Seriously, I don't think i've SEC coaches.

Speaker 5 (01:05:28):
Yeah, I was SEC. That's it, likevisor companies during business.

Speaker 4 (01:05:33):
Just for that, it's very I want to say, it's
very Dennis Allen, Okay, do you have any friends that
rock advisor? Kirby Smart loves the advisor. Again, if your
buddy rolled up in a visor, smack.

Speaker 5 (01:05:47):
That thing off his head.

Speaker 4 (01:05:48):
Your Yankees one strikeout there you go, Thank goodness, man,
you gotta win.

Speaker 5 (01:05:53):
Eat rocks bottom involved.

Speaker 4 (01:05:56):
But visors are a very interesting You're right about that,
very interesting in that who wears a visor? And it's
a very particular type of person to begin with, right,
usually a college coach or something or something filthy and
his players or some Sean.

Speaker 2 (01:06:08):
Payton, some golfers do ye or Malibou's most wanted, Like
fifty five year old guys in Florida maybe like like
middle aged guys in Florida might wear advisor.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
It's a weird choice.

Speaker 13 (01:06:21):
Matt Nage would wear a visor, in which I didn't
understand because he was bald. So like, if you're out
in the sun, you'd just be getting torched. The visor
helps keep the sun out of your eyes. And maybe
you wanted your hair to get a little light. Didn't
Vistavianna wear advisor as well? During the Donald sterling it
was that enormous, that enormous.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
Vis Oh dealers at a casino well sometimes think she
wore a wel avisor it was that big, So forget
about the visor. Clearly the visor in the hat. Cow
Herd's got a problem. So we ask you, let's open up,
let's have some fun on a random Covino on Rich Wednesday.

(01:06:59):
What are those stuffs ill pet peeves of yours?

Speaker 10 (01:07:01):
Like?

Speaker 5 (01:07:01):
What is the what is your backwards hat? What is
your visor? What annoys the hell out of you?

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
Well, if you're new to the Cavino and rich experience
the world famous CNR For years, we fought the Battle
of Crocs. We lost the war, but we fought battle
after battle after battle, and at this point you just surrender.
I don't wear them. I've always hated him. But it
looks like the kids are rolling with it, their pajama pants,

(01:07:28):
their tank tops, their broccoli heads.

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
I get it. It's easy kids put them on and
off sport mode. It's a thing. It's not my thing.

Speaker 4 (01:07:36):
But I've moved on from that because I lost the
war and my biggest pet peeve. Lately, I feel bad
saying it because there's a lot of culprits here at
Fox Sports Radio, and some of them I love. But
when these younger dudes wear like clogs, like man clogs,
like these Birkenstock man clogs, I'm like, what do you want,
little dutch boy with your socks?

Speaker 5 (01:07:58):
You talk Steve Shay, Who's how did you wear clogs
as a man that looks like a.

Speaker 4 (01:08:07):
Man a different generation? And luck, dude, that look is
for the birds, That's what I say. Like, I think
Shade's one of the coolest guys and I see clogs
and I'm like, I have to second guess this.

Speaker 13 (01:08:19):
We wearing Birkenstocks in the nineties though, Yeah, but actually
sandals like the dude, like the dude.

Speaker 5 (01:08:25):
I just does that garner respect?

Speaker 4 (01:08:27):
Like if your boss, that's the thing, right, It's like,
there's a few things you'll never see a man of authority.

Speaker 5 (01:08:32):
Dude, You'll never see him running because he's late.

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
Because he's the guy in charge. You never see him
running down the hallway because he's the guy. You're never
gonna see your boss, like wearing a little schoolboy backpack.
Because he's the boss and you're never gonna see him
where clogs to the office because he's in charge and
commanding respect. I'm gonna give you one of my pet peeves.

(01:08:54):
I'll give you, you know, Big Mike, who runs this place.
He's getting his words of wisdom. Ready, you know what
his was, cents James. And someone wears blue jeans and
flip flops, and I agree with them. That's a that's
a terrible look. Flip flop. That's a funny one. You know,
flip flops with shorts or swim trunks, yes, but with jeans. No,
you got to wear clothes, toe.

Speaker 5 (01:09:13):
Shoes with jeans, it's a weak ass.

Speaker 13 (01:09:15):
Look what about like tivas with socks, you know, socks
underneath my my Spanish teacher used to wear it like
the weakest lo bueno.

Speaker 2 (01:09:26):
Our teenagers wear dirty white shoes and it bugs me
because they're thinking is and I have no idea why
they think this is cool. But the more worn out
they look, the better they look.

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
It's a thing, especially with Air Force ones, like they'll
rock like beat up white Air Force ones that look
like they've been through concerts and mud and they'll wear
them down.

Speaker 5 (01:09:50):
They're all creased and bubbly. I don't know why that's
a thing.

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
But there's the overpriced shoe store that you might see
at the mall, Golden Goose, I believe, and they sell
like eight hundred dollars sneakers that look like they've been
through a music festival.

Speaker 5 (01:10:06):
Hate that.

Speaker 4 (01:10:06):
You know you played baseball in the dusty park all day, okay,
stolen from a hobo. I don't understand how that's the thing.
And again, based on Collins Colin's problem, let's say I
was gonna say something else, Colin's problem with Brian schottenhammer
Heimer and the backwards hat and the backwards advisor.

Speaker 5 (01:10:24):
What is your style? Pet peeve? All right, let's do
this Midweek Major. Covino and Rich get you over the
middle of the week. When mid Week Major Major.

Speaker 1 (01:10:39):
I love that we throw sports and pop culture headlines
and topics at the fellas, and it's like the kids.

Speaker 7 (01:10:45):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 10 (01:10:47):
We definitely major.

Speaker 5 (01:10:49):
See it our scoring Midweek Major.

Speaker 2 (01:10:53):
I gotta go really faster to give Spot eight full minutes.

Speaker 5 (01:10:57):
It doesn't want that time. I don't want it at all.

Speaker 2 (01:11:00):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of this segment. Usually we rolled the two
big Red Love dice. But Covino is live from New
Jersey today, so cove. I have Ben Maller's magic penny
in my hand from Benny versus the penny?

Speaker 5 (01:11:15):
How does he keep that? All right?

Speaker 2 (01:11:16):
And Rich, you are the home team because you're still
here in the La studio, So call in the air Rich,
heads or tails?

Speaker 5 (01:11:23):
I got a big head, so head, you do have
a big head. It's heads, so that makes you rich?
Gets to go first.

Speaker 2 (01:11:30):
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides
Judy Bloom from Scotch plays New Jersey spotty Boy.

Speaker 5 (01:11:38):
Can I request a new intro? All right?

Speaker 10 (01:11:40):
Well you left off at the brake, so I'll just
dive into some more details. You mentioned it this weekend.
New Jersey native Jen Powell.

Speaker 5 (01:11:47):
I think I'm pronouncing that right.

Speaker 10 (01:11:49):
We'll make history as the first woman to umpire a
game in Major League Baseball. Shall umpire the doubleheader between
the Braves and the Marlins at Atlanta's Truest Park. She
was born and raised in West Milfred, New Jersey, So
Jersey privacy. I went on to play softball and soccer
at hop Street University. Was an up at the amateur

(01:12:09):
level for a decade. Appeared in the minors in the
Gulf Coast League in twenty sixteen, moved up to Triple
A in twenty twenty three before she was put on
the list to move up to the majors. The other
four major sports of the other you know, the three
of the four not hot dog geting, but NBA twenty
eight years ago, they had women, NFL ten years ago,

(01:12:31):
so maybe NHL will be just around the corner midwek
or meet.

Speaker 5 (01:12:34):
I think this is major.

Speaker 4 (01:12:37):
I think this is great. And listen, they're not doing this.
This is not a charity case. You're not throwing this
woman a bone.

Speaker 5 (01:12:43):
She has earned it. She has umpired at every level.

Speaker 4 (01:12:46):
My only take that was a little a little different
was I feel like, if you're the first guy to
really argue with her, you're gonna look like a bully,
because as a gentleman, as a grown man, no one
should be yelling at a woman. But then again, it's
on the field, so it's in the job description. It's
a job description, I guess, right, So I'm gonna say major.
I just think it's gonna be funny or awkward at first.

(01:13:07):
When someone finally starts yelling at her and she starts
yelling back, is hey, you've seen it. Umpires in baseball.
You see more baseball ump disagreements than any other sport.
I agree, major history being made. I'm just surprised is
taking this long. And it shouldn't be an issue. As
they say, the best referees, the best umpires are the
ones you don't notice. I do think that men coaches

(01:13:32):
are gonna be able to lean into the debates and
the arguments as much. But in time we'll get used
to it. It's all good. Congrats, Hey, good for her.

Speaker 10 (01:13:39):
All right, let's see, for the second week in a row,
a w NBA game was interrupted by a phallic object?

Speaker 5 (01:13:49):
Can I say that? Have there been three?

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
Now?

Speaker 5 (01:13:51):
I feel like the counts.

Speaker 7 (01:13:52):
That's great.

Speaker 5 (01:13:52):
I think that this is the third one. Thank you,
spot for actually used a very good word thing, thank you.
Of course you could say that right. The first one
that made news took place last week.

Speaker 10 (01:14:01):
We actually mentioned it last week during midweek Major where
the Valkyries took on the Dream. There was another one
over the weekend, and then the most recent incident took
place last night at the at Crypto dot Com arena,
where the fever took on the sparks right after Kelsey
Plum nailed to free throw a fan through it on
the court and actually.

Speaker 5 (01:14:20):
Hit Sophie Cunningham.

Speaker 10 (01:14:22):
Sophie Stunningham, and ironically enough, Sophie posted on her social
media that she because of all the incidents, She's like, Oh,
I hope I don't get hit in the face.

Speaker 5 (01:14:29):
It's going to turn into a meme.

Speaker 10 (01:14:31):
So she ended up being the one that got hit
on the court went over to the side to kind
of laugh it off.

Speaker 5 (01:14:36):
But the WNBA did release a.

Speaker 10 (01:14:38):
Statement over the weekend because of the previous incident, saying
any fan who intentionally throws an object on the court
will immediately be ejected subject up to one year ban,
in addition to being arrested and prosecuted by wherever the
incident takes place, Midwek or Major.

Speaker 5 (01:14:54):
This is major.

Speaker 4 (01:14:54):
They had a heavy arrest because being banned from WNBA
games for a year no is no great punishment, So yes,
you will be arrested.

Speaker 13 (01:15:03):
They've arrested one guy from one of the first two
incidents so far. He got charged with indecent exposure, criminal
trespassing and what.

Speaker 5 (01:15:10):
Are you in here for a murder?

Speaker 12 (01:15:11):
No?

Speaker 5 (01:15:12):
I threw on the court and all fallace NBA game.
What happened to it?

Speaker 4 (01:15:19):
Is it on eBay? Did someone put it in there?
Did someone put in their little bag and take it home?

Speaker 5 (01:15:23):
Like whatever? And it's once again it was like a
line or like Neon Green. So it's all that. It's
been the same the Shrek collection.

Speaker 10 (01:15:31):
I wonder if it's what it's all over now. I
wonder if it's like the same one being passed around.

Speaker 5 (01:15:38):
I don't know. They're like celebrity deathks. They only happened
in threes. So this is the.

Speaker 4 (01:15:46):
Big feet, that's the big we're making a story out
of it. It gets more pressed for the w n
b A. And all you're doing is inviting more people
to continue doing this, regardless of the consequences. They're going
to try to sneak it, make it happen. And I
don't know, I've I think the w n b A,
without injuring players, leans into it a little bit. Make
it a tradition like like throwing hats or fishing hockey

(01:16:06):
or whatever they do. It's kind of insulting though, isn't
it you know, a little bit insulted? It for a
nice parting gift. Okay, they're they're laughing about it. The
players of course not being them right. Some are like,
you know, someone's kind of random.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
Some have no use for it. Okay, Can I move on?

Speaker 10 (01:16:29):
Yes?

Speaker 5 (01:16:30):
Please?

Speaker 10 (01:16:31):
We talked a few times here on the show during
midwek major actually how Tom Brady has regretted doing his
Netflix roast the Greatest roast of all time, mainly because
of the impact on his family and his kids. Well
roastmaster Jeffrey Ross. Comedian Jeffrey Ross has actually commented and
fired back on Brady's reaction, saying, I didn't realize you
could lose half your sense of humor in a divorce.

(01:16:52):
So in a recent interview with Paige Chicks, he commented
just on Brady's reaction. He said, though he went on
to say, I want everyone to love the room, to
leave their feeling like it was the greatest night of
their lives. And he said above that beyond that, the
guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for taking the hits
for three hours so the rest of us couldn't forget
our problems. Brady has of course expressed this regret on

(01:17:15):
multiple occasions. So I don't know if this lesson's out
a bit midweek er major.

Speaker 5 (01:17:20):
I think it's mid I'll tell you why.

Speaker 4 (01:17:21):
Jeffrey Ross, you know, really funny buffoon, because that's what
he is, right, I mean, he's great at the roasting.
Oh he's a roast master. He's a roast master. But
cove I look at it this way. He's in that world.
I'll give you the analogy. When you date someone that's
on the radio or TV, you almost like sometimes you'll

(01:17:43):
be the content of discussion and you have to deal
with it. Jeffrey Ross, his whole life revolves around offensive
roasting jokes.

Speaker 5 (01:17:51):
He can't he can't say, oh man, Tom Brady can't
take it.

Speaker 4 (01:17:55):
Tom Brady put himself out there more than anyone ever
thought he would have, so I think there should be
no of Tommy. In fact, the fact that he sort
of like didn't think about his family ahead of time
makes you realize that tom was really in it for
the fun. So I'm team Brady on this one. I
don't know if Jeffrey Ross has anything to say about Tom.
I wish Jeffrey Ross good health. I know he was

(01:18:16):
battling some health issues. He's the best at the game.
But props to Tommy for putting himself after like that.

Speaker 5 (01:18:21):
I think it's great. So I agree with Rich everything.

Speaker 10 (01:18:23):
Rich said, Yeah, cool, Rich, if you're contemplating your hairline receiding,
I mean, this is a great hairline.

Speaker 4 (01:18:29):
You could see it on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube.
Maybe you can seek it for hairline fresh right from
John Cena. So the wrestler turned actor personality whatever went
into more detail about the hair transplant he had back
in April. He said he decided to have the scalp
surgery after fans were taunting him about his receiving hairline
and said he couldn't be happier with the new look.

Speaker 10 (01:18:51):
Said it completely changed quote changed the course of his
life and said if there wasn't so much shame around
that he would have gotten it ten years earlier. He
says it's also led to more acting gigs, gigs and
apparently his daily upkeep routine. Rich takenotes includes red light therapy,
monoxidel vitamins, and special shampoo and conditioner. And he said
he's not alone too, because there's about seventy eight out

(01:19:12):
of ten men that suffer from thinning or baldness, cutting
Rich midweek or major.

Speaker 4 (01:19:16):
Look at this head of hair. If anyone's balding in
the room. And you, buddy boy, what are you talking about?

Speaker 5 (01:19:20):
Rich?

Speaker 13 (01:19:20):
You don't have a receding hairline or thinning hair. Thank you,
I was saying, but you're fine. Many many you guys
for being a seventy year old man. Many many you
guys do. And there's no shame in that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:29):
I think John Cena, this is great because if I
were I think I would go to Turkey to get
this done. And John Cena, I did think it looked
a little peculiar. And then no shame in bald guys.
But when he was in the wrestling ring and he
did have a big bald spot, I mean.

Speaker 5 (01:19:44):
I couldn't see his hair.

Speaker 4 (01:19:44):
It was very evident. It was very evident. So I
think it's a great, great thing. You know, even John
Cena could get bullied.

Speaker 5 (01:19:51):
Look at that.

Speaker 4 (01:19:51):
Hey, look how many I agree with Rich? I agree
with John Cena. How many men out there struggle with
this issue. It's drastic as dramatic women take and improving
their look shame.

Speaker 3 (01:20:04):
And I.

Speaker 4 (01:20:06):
Mean, I know, Kim, I know you're saying, can we know,
saying a lot of women they talk about all these things,
whether it be botox, filler surgeries, brass, you know, booty lifts.
All this stuff is very open and talked about. When
it comes to men, there should be no shame.

Speaker 1 (01:20:22):
Do it?

Speaker 5 (01:20:22):
Have fun with it all?

Speaker 12 (01:20:24):
Right?

Speaker 10 (01:20:24):
Uh So, Shaq is putting his faith in his team
and America's team, the Dallas Cowboys for Week one of
the NFL. He revealed on his podcast, The Big Podcast
with Shaq that the Cowboys will beat the Eagles in
Week one of the NFL, and he's so confident that
he's putting his h I guess his outfit where his
mouth is that if he loses, he'll get the dress

(01:20:47):
that Charles Barkley wore in his iconic weight Watcher's commercial
and wear it outside his Big Chick restaurant right on
the Vegas Strip. He made a similar bet last year
on The Rich Eiland Show, saying that you would wear
a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit if they didn't win against
the Eagles last season, and Dallas went on to lose
to the Eagles thirty three twenty seven. Never make good

(01:21:09):
on that bet, so we'll see if he makes good
on this bet. However, the Eagles are a seven point
favorite heading into one of the NFL against the Cowboys,
So Midweek or Major, I think either way it's a.

Speaker 4 (01:21:18):
Good thing because Shak's gonna get promo for his restaurant
or whatever he's doing.

Speaker 5 (01:21:22):
He's a good sport. People love Shack.

Speaker 4 (01:21:23):
Cowboys aren't gonna beat the Eagles week one, but I
do love Shack's enthusiasm, and I love your Midweek Major.

Speaker 5 (01:21:28):
Thank you boy. Get this. I'm taking my mother to
Las Vegas for the first time. That's very cool.

Speaker 4 (01:21:38):
She's never been and she's gonna be seventy and she's
visiting me here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 5 (01:21:43):
So I said, Mom, happy birthday. I'm changing your flight.
She goes, where am I going, Richie, and I go,
I'm gonna.

Speaker 4 (01:21:49):
Fly you straight to Vegas Stanbull, I'm gonna meet you
there and I'm gonna do She wants to see the
Bellagio fountains, and I'm taking her to see Penn and Teller.
So it's a mother a mother's son weekend and then
she'll come see my kids out here.

Speaker 5 (01:22:03):
And you're taking an old cheetah to Cheetahs imagine that.

Speaker 4 (01:22:06):
Imagine my mom's like Ritchie, I really would like to
go to I heard a thunder down under send my
mom there listen. While I'm in Vegas, I was looking
Danny g that. I know there's a Rachie Rice story
we're gonna get to. But I was looking at the
Vegas odds for MVP. Is there like a long shot
where you could think of a quarterback or a team
where wow, it's not crazy to think Blank could shock

(01:22:31):
the world. Like what's the long shot? Is it Aaron
Rodgers at plus eight thousand if the Steelers? Cause remember
NFL on Fox said the Steelers would be the sixth
or fifth best team.

Speaker 5 (01:22:42):
Is it Aaron Rodgers? Like what's the pick?

Speaker 2 (01:22:44):
Where is Jaden Daniels lying at? Because you know, obviously
he was a rookie last season, but he played at
an MVP type level and I could see him avoiding
the sophomore jinx because I think he's the real deal.

Speaker 4 (01:22:56):
He's about the fifth best, like the fifth the highest
odds at plus seven fifty Vegas has it as Lamar Jackson,
I mean the ones we talk about Lamar, Josh Burrow
and Mahomes.

Speaker 5 (01:23:09):
And then right after them.

Speaker 4 (01:23:10):
Jaden Daniels is number five, and then Jalen hurts Herbert.
I'm just saying it's ridiculous. But I don't know if
it's preposterous to say one hundred bucks on Aaron Rodgers,
one hundred wins eight thousand. What if Aaron Rodgers returns
to form? What if Aaron Rodgers? I mean it's right now,

(01:23:32):
it's not looking like No. I'm just saying, like the
of the long shot standing because in that same category
is he's in the same odds as like Drake May,
Trevor Lawrence, and Michael Pennox Junior.

Speaker 2 (01:23:45):
I feel like you've been counting on Aaron Rodgers to
have a miraculous season for three straight years, right.

Speaker 4 (01:23:51):
I don't know why, And I'm not a big Aaron
Rodgers fan. There's just a part of me that feels
like maybe I root for the forty year old guy.
You know, we all hit forty, and you start rooting
for other guys you're age like, because if he does well,
it's a feeling they're like.

Speaker 5 (01:24:03):
You know, we're not that old.

Speaker 2 (01:24:05):
Yeah, that's a good transition because we have a story
about a type of food you can't eat when you
get into your forties, you shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (01:24:13):
If you if you could eat what you wanted all
the time, what's the food? If you could eat what
you wanted all the time with no caloric ramifications, if calories, fat,
grossness didn't matter, I would choose Taco bell every day.
I would have Gordon. I would have Gordida crunches. Yes
and yes, you know steak burritos and you know chicken

(01:24:37):
fa heat is.

Speaker 5 (01:24:37):
I would have Chevy Gordida crunch. The cheesey Cordida crunch
is the best. What else do I like? There? The
chicken chilupa with the spicy ranch.

Speaker 13 (01:24:46):
They have the grilled burrito, like the the steak grilled
bod But Rashi Rice grilled cheese burrito, I should say,
very good.

Speaker 5 (01:24:54):
Now you get me hungry.

Speaker 4 (01:24:55):
Yeah, chado cho cinco, said Rashi Rice. He's good for
fifteen hundred yards this year and ten tuddies. Because he
posted that Rashi Rice has been having McDonald's. It's his
training camp diet, large fra and cheeseburgers every day. And
you hear guys like Michael Phelps, Floyd Mayweather Junior. When

(01:25:17):
you're conditioned and you are honestly doing some type of
physical activity every waking hour, training for a fight, training
for the Olympics. These guys take in so many calories.
I just feel like, if you had the option, what
would you choose? That's what I'm thinking, Danny, what would

(01:25:38):
be your fast food go to? If if nothing mattered nothing,
Master Boddy, do you do you have a go to?
Like if you could eat whatever you wanted no repercussions,
would you have in and out every day?

Speaker 5 (01:25:51):
Would you have Chick fil a every day? Probably? Pizza? Yeah,
that's a good one. That's a good answer.

Speaker 4 (01:26:00):
And when you chicken pizza, and when you mean pizza,
like the whole pizza, like the whole, not like two slices,
like extra cheese.

Speaker 5 (01:26:06):
Like slob like spot your stomach would be the pizza table. Yeah,
you get the joey chestnut of pizza. Yeah, greasy, it's
the best part.

Speaker 4 (01:26:16):
All right, Well, pizza eat like a slob. Football season
is coming up, so you can hide it under your
under your hoodie.

Speaker 5 (01:26:22):
Yeah, and catch up on Hard Knocks. You didn't see
it last night.

Speaker 4 (01:26:25):
I'm going to download that for the flight. We'll see
you guys in for Dan Patrick next week. Enjoy until
next time or Riven there chie baby, see you in
the Promised Land.

Speaker 5 (01:26:35):
Goodbye,
