Speaker 2 (00:54):
But first and first mostly, let's introduce the greatest producer
in all the land.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Danny Gay.

Yeah, straight gangster Iowa Sam is here you do, And man,

Spot is superb and you could see the show right

chat begin, all right, Now, there's a lot to get
to today, but there's a viral clip that has been.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Making the rounds.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
I saw people from other shows on this network. Dude,
it's everywhere get.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
All upset about it, commenting on it.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
And then I see too, though, I see like even
people we work with, they post a clip and they're like,
what do you think?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
It's like, I want to know.

Speaker 3 (01:51):
What you think you do that. I hate when people
do that. There's been a few that have just said outright,
it's wrong. This kid should be suspended.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
I think that's supposed to be the ideology of what
you're saying, though, is you're trying to, yeah, someone saying
to post a video or picture or whatever, and you
want someone's opinion. How about your opinion and then we'll
give you ours, Like, hey, here's what I think. And
I think you're going to be surprised by what I
think about this viral video.

Speaker 1 (02:19):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, well, the viral video we speak of isn't the
woman with the stripper Poul knocking her sprinkler system off.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Have you seen that one?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is er? No?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
I was a camera person.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Is it the old man in the buffalo? Not the
old man getting thrown in the air by a bison? No,
not that one. It wasn't. Is it the piece of
meteor that fell through the New Jersey roof?

Speaker 2 (02:38):
No, it wasn't the stinkhole or sinkhole in Jersey. It
wasn't the girl who had Do you see the girl
with the cockroach on her neck? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
KTLA? Did you say stinkhold? I said sinkle?

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Oh, okay, did you see that woman? KTLA reporter had
a huge cockroach chuck?

Speaker 1 (02:55):
She didn't know. If she knew it was a cockroach,
she would have.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is it the viral clip of truck Schumer farting? No
it was not.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It was the viral clip of this little league or
pony ball kid who celebrates at a level that has
people upset, like I'm all for celebration. I'm for a
bat flip, I'm for cheering, up for chest bumps, up
for high fives.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
I'm I'm for taking a nice little trot around the
bases if you hit one.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
You even like a little helmet smash every once in
a while little triple Thrust say what yeah, yeah, that's
how before the show me, Danny and Covino give a
little uh like outfielders meeting together for a little I'll
say this. There's there's this kid. His name is Cruz
because that's what his jersey says.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I believe you're gonna have to describe it for those
that aren't on our YouTube page.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's a little chubby Hispanic kid.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Like we're talking by the looks of it, and you
could say that because you're a middle aged chubby Hispanic guy.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Yeah, I want to say, what's what's wrong? What's wrong
that he just describing?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
He looks about eleven at the most, right, So you
don't want to make fun of a kid. But he listen,
he hits his ball. No, I'm just describing. It's not
a bat flip. It's a bat fling to the point
where if you're umpiring, you could be like, you can't
throw your bat like that. That's you know, sometimes after
a warning, the batter will be called out like you
can't throw bat. It's happened in Little League and pony Ball.
I've seen it. This guy throws the bat and then

(04:22):
flexes like he's a Hulkster in nineteen ninety, throws his
helmet down, throws his helmet like he's Bryce Harper after
a strikeout. He's officially pimping himself. You know, he's doing
every gant chism, screaming. He's also yelling, he incorporates everybody
celebrates at all and then second and third he stops
to shoot a three pointer. He does the worm, I
think at one point, and then again he pretty much

(04:44):
moon walks home.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It's his teammate presents him the bat at home plate.
That high five and everyone down the third base is
if you're watching our YouTube channel, Covino and Rich FSR.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
And by the way, I'm assuming he's Hispanic because his
jersey says Cruise. So it becomes a big time controversy
for over celebrating and like, what are we teaching these
kids today? And dude, I gotta tell you what my
brother said. I sent it to my brother. My brother's

(05:17):
a big baseball fan, Tod Master, Tommy Tomasito. Oh it's
so funny because Yo, that's weak as f He goes
jazz chism ruin in the game. Mind you, my brother's
a big Yankees fan, right, he goes teaching these kids
all this ps, it's a gentleman's game, the gentleman's game.

(05:39):
Your brothers the least gentleman guy, I know, he's the biggest,
like moron. He goes, YO, leave that in the NFL.
He's like, this is this is baseball. I think that's
not how it's played. I love watching a home run.
I love a bat flip. I recently saw that clip
of Oh, remind me of the players involved. It was
someone hit a home run in San Francisco. I'm gonna

(06:00):
to give the pieces and it's splashed in the water
and the picture got all mad?

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Madison Bumgardner got all mad?

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Oh the Max Mounsey Max Munsey shirts of that.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, Max Munsey hits a bomb into the water, I
should go get it out of the ocean, into the bay.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
And he goes to Bumgarner, Yeah, and go get the
ball out of the water, because he's like, stop looking run.
He tells Munsie like, stop watching your home run, just go,
and then Munsey tells him where you go get the
ball out of the water.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I love a good batflip.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
I love when a player hits it and I think
he's you know what Danny called me to new school.
I think you're allowed to stand there for a good
one or two seconds. I think you could swing. It'd
be like one.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
I think the issue here, at least for me, he's
not smiling, Like, if you're doing it out of joy,
then it's like a fun thing.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
When you aggressively hump.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
Yeah, when you're doing it very aggressively, like f you, everyone,
f you, that's where it gets a little out of control.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
My brother then says, that's when a kid gets a
fastball to the head.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Next to that bat, Bro, this is just trouble. Well
not good yet.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
I think baseball historically has been good at policing themselves right.
Anytime someone gets a little too show body, well yeah,
I mean something comes with that at that level because
there's so little. But I saw John Boy recently break
down a clip between former met Now athletic Jeff McNeil

(07:24):
and Reys Hoskins.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
And how he was doing the whack cry baby.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
McNeil's yelling at him like yo, there's things that you know,
a hard slide or an inside fastball will solve right,
like baseball places itself. But I don't think a kid
that hasn't gone through puberty yet should be doing that.
On the basse pass, I think at that age you
want kids to have fun, you know, when they have
walk up music and they're flipping the bat or having
you know, joyous baseball times. That's what you want kids

(07:51):
to do. You want to love the game. But this
is age that could have took the first basement's head off.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah, that was dangerous.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
Can I say this, and I'm not saying this to
be contrariant, I swear to God, I agree with you guys.
It's overboard, there's no question. I'm not debating that. But
the amount of viral criticism that this kid has garnered,
I don't feel as warranted. I'm like, really, this is

(08:17):
what everybody's so mad about. Like it's bad and it's
overly aggressive. It's obnoxious. That would be the greatest word
to describe his celebration here, right, It's obnoxious and a
little uncalled for.

Speaker 1 (08:27):
But is it that bad?

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Where like it seems like the world's coming down on
an eleven year old boy?

Speaker 1 (08:33):
I get it. You know what, Blame the adults.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Blame the fact that we've allowed this to be seen
in Major League Baseball. Blame the examples that they're learning
it from, and then it comes down to a question
of parenting and people are hating on his kid.

Speaker 1 (08:46):
I'm like, is it that bad?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I think at this point the way it's being criticized
at this point, I'm like, you just don't like this
kid's face, you don't like his look, like there's more
to it, like he's not cute enough for you or something.
I don't know what it was, dude, but to garner
this much criticism. We see these like random celebrations all
the time with kids, is this one? This is what

(09:08):
I think, by far, the worst I've seen all this.
It's my algorithm. I see all this crap because against
just your algorithm. We all watch sports, we all watch
you know, kids hit home runs.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
But if you've been listening to our show this week,
Rich says, it's worse than cheating on a girlfriend.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
It is true, really, man, And I said, that's not
a crime. That's not a crime, Denny. I'll say this,
Kids in all sports imitate their favorite stars. You watch
a kid's playing flag football at seven, eight, nine, ten.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
If you got little ones, when they're.

Speaker 2 (09:38):
Scoring a touchdown, they're casually dropping the ball, pounding their chest, flexing.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Doing stuff they see in the NFL.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Right, they get a first down, they drop the ball
and do it all first down. If a kid plays basketball, right,
what does he do when he hits a three?

Speaker 1 (09:52):
He keeps it up there right?

Speaker 2 (09:54):
Or he does a little Jalen Brunson or a little
little Steph Curry. Kids will always take their favorite stars
and baseball is all about the bat flip. Baseball is
all about showmanship. Now, I'm okay with it, but this
kid went too far.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
That's why.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
I mean, you always say this. What happens at every party,
every event. Why why are stupid rules put into place?

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Because what happens. Everyone has one person that does what
they go too far?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Everything right, like the they ruin it for everybody. One
person drinks too much. One person does something where they're like,
all right, well we need to make a rule. Now,
there's always something. One parent says something too much Sam
at our twenty year anniversary. Like Sam partied so hard
he started taking his clothes off. Now we have to
have a rule, like he keep your clothes on it.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I danced too hard, he overheated.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
I'll be honest, I saw a sign recently, I was
at a gym in Texas when I went to go
visit my wife's family around the fourth of July. I
went to the say I went to the gym on vacation.
That's a cup from station for another day. If this
was big Al Delia, the kid that hated hit Dingers
but back that, yes, I don't know if you did

(11:04):
all that.

Speaker 1 (11:04):
I feel like his face.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I saw a sign at the gym in Texas and
it was like on it was like a little cartoon
characters like this is what you have to wear, And
it was clear that there must have been some girl
that showed up with like a thong and a sports
prom so they had to put up a sign like, hey,
at the gym here, we try to keep some family standards.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Uh, the proper attire.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
If you're gonna wear like yoga shorts or something, ladies,
they should be blank and the you know, a sports
bra has to do a certain amount of coverage. You
know why they had to put that sign up because
what do you think one person did, probably showed up
with their cheeks out. Okay, so you're saying, now little
League or pony Ball, whatever this is, has to put
some rules in place because of what do you think
at our what do you think at our company holiday party?

(11:46):
They give like one to two drink tickets because I
guarantee at one point someone had one too many cocktails
and they're like, you know what, we should probably limit it.
Gave everyone like one to two tickets tops. Someone always
ruins it. And I'm not blaming a kid, but this
will now, I guarantee this, this clip is where everyone's
gonna be like, all right, we've had enough. Come back

(12:07):
on the celindary, what about that bat throw because that's expressive.
There's one of the aggressive not defending it. But let
me throw some exam. You did that when you were
in little thrown out was a gentleman.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
This kid should been thrown out of the game.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
I would look, I didn't play that way. We didn't
play that way. It wasn't that way then, right, And
I think there's a balance and a compromise. Like Ridge said,
I agree, but I don't think it's that bad where
all this criticism is warranted, Like it's the most viral clip,
we're leading our show with it, it's all over social media.
But what if I'm just saying, what if this is hypothetic.
Keep back to like if it was a cute kid,
it would be different. No, no, I'm giving you a real

(12:41):
hypothetical now. So before I explain, I'm not being a contrariyan.
I just didn't think it was as bad as people
are making it out to be. But I agree it's bad. Yeah,
this is just a pure hypothetical. And maybe because every
time clips go viral, there's always something that comes up
or follows it and it's like, oh, well, you know,
we didn't know the whole story or we didn't see
the full clip. How do we know that there was

(13:04):
a kid on the mound that was taunting him and
maybe he was the big kid that seemed unhittable and
this kid got a lucky shot home run once in
a lifetime moment. Does that change your perspective of oh man,
maybe this kid's uh, you know, he's not a real
great achiever and this was his one highlight of his
life and he really got the best of that picture.
Who gives him a hard time? What if you don't

(13:25):
know a backstory? That doesn't change anything? This is this
is like, this is the level that doesn't change anything.
If I'm just saying, if the picture is a big
kid that bullied him and he's kidding home school, what
that's impossible. So you don't always know everything. So hey,
for all we know this kid, this is his joy
most joyous moment he's ever had.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Maybe he comes from a tough upbringing, so you hate
to be mad year old.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
That behavior is acceptable if that kid bought him at school. Yeah,
I'm just giving you possibility.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
I don't think anything.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Looks it looked like the bat went past first base
and that it doesn't look like that part is crazy
because I mean, it's one thing at an aggressive bat flip,
even slamming. You saw the video a couple of months
ago where that kids slammed the bat down so hard
it bounced back up to his face. Okay, I get
some aggressiveness with the celebration of a bat flip, but

(14:15):
when you throw the bat like.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
That he threw it unacceptable.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
Hey, we're not going let's make this clear, none of
us here in the Fox Sports Radio studio, whatever teach
our kids to behave this way. There's sportsman, there's a class.
I'm saying, we don't know the whole story, and he's
still an eleven year old. If you want to point
the fingers, point him at the professionals where he gets
us from. Point him at the parents who allows him
to be parents. How about the coaches? Point the parents

(14:41):
have no people to be bullying an eleven year old.
The way they are on social media, I think is
absurd because they're learning it from adults. Monkey see monkey do,
Like we as adults have to take accountability. You're like,
I'm frustrated with my daughter ninety percent of the time,
but I have to look at myself and take some
accountability and like, well, she gets it from somewhere and
it's probably me.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
Or her mom.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
I'll blame her mom most of the time, you know
what I mean, Like, it's not fair always to blame
these kids.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
This kid's little.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
It's it's coaching, right, I mean, like, if you're coaching
a bunch of little kids. The first side, like when
my kids celebrate that I coach, I love it. I
encourage them. A kid hits a big hit or scores,
jump on him, hit him on the helmet, have some fun.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
But your first your first priority should just be getting
to base, Like unless I guess it's a home run in.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
The home, but really if the kid hit a home
run on my line is very because he's shouting and
looks aggressive. That's where the line is. If he was
smiling and cheering like Joe Carter, then you're cool.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
Then it wouldn't be a viral video. You know what
I mean?

Speaker 2 (15:41):
If when the first kid on my team hits a
home run, which will probably happen when they're seven or eight,
like there'll be a kid that puts one out. If
some kid finally hits one over the fence their first
home run and they flip their back, yeah, and they
like are super enthusiastic, enthusiastic, and their teammates are jumping
on them, patting them on the helmet.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
That's awesome. This was not even resemble a grotesque showing up.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Yeah, this was like, yeah, people could see it now. Yeah,
we'll save you the time. Just join us on YouTube.
You can watch the show. You can see the clips
Spotty's Got It on Standby at YouTube YouTube dot com, slash.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
At Covino and rich fs.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
So if he's such a youngster that I don't really
blame him. I blame the coaches for letting this build
up because any sign and you know I'm not the
only dad coach, And there's millions, there's millions of pe
coach Rich, how would you reprimand them? There's millions of
people listening to Fox Sports Radio and a Jonson can
I address Jones one nine? Not defending this kid. What
I'm saying is you don't know the whole story. You

(16:41):
don't so we're coming down on an.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Eleven year old.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Well, that's what I just said. I don't think a
kid is the one to be taking the brunt of this.
But it happened, meaning he made it all the where
on the basements without a coach being like, hey, go
like not where, look, where's the where's the discipline?

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Where someone thought this is okay? Right?

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Like when I see when I see any of the
kids I coach get aggressive or get mean or bullying
another kid or even on their own team, I'm like,
that's not acceptable this right here, dude.

Speaker 1 (17:15):
How do we know that this is even real? Real?
How do we know that?

Speaker 5 (17:18):
They just didn't state like when are you allowed to
go out on the diamond and like film someone and
he's following the whole time.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
They didn't say, hey, everybody, everybody know how about they
were like as a drill. Everybody for fun do their
best flashy bat flip home run.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
But that's the problem because he's surrounded by adults and
they enabled this behavior, and it's it's grotesque.

Speaker 2 (17:39):
We can't beat right, Sam Sam Cavino made the only
exception if it was like an after practice, right, let's
say it's after practice. Practice is over. Hey, good practice, kids,
go get some water. Hey, if you want to stay,
let's do who would do the most crazy like home
run trot? And we just happen to see footage of
something like after practice silly shenanigans.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, then all of a sudden, we're all wrong. I'm sorry.

Speaker 5 (18:04):
Rich's okay, but you decided to release it to the public,
and you probably knew what was going to be the reaction.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
They just told us all the blame petrolling is not acceptable.
We watched it, we reacted.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Maybe we're also to blame, but this is not If
you whether this is stage, are legit, it's bad either way.
And by the way, I went frame for frame in
the billboard beyond the fence, the outfield fence, it says no,
it's in Spanish, so this looks like and I was
talking to Greg Twoey, Cowherd's producer earlier today because.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
I saw him and Jay stew everyone.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Yes, he said, it looks like it's from It looks
like it's from a different country.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
You know, when celebrations are different, it's culturally different. Hey, people,
and I just came back from Korea. It's a completely
different atmosphere, completely different set of rules, completely different way
of game, especially in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico
and places like that.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
And Damian Andrew, wait, there's a guy flirting with me here. Rich.
I just want to let him know I have a girlfriend. Damian,
I'm taking buddy saying some mean stuff. By the way,
is that why you got the Kim John Moon haircut?
You just came back from crew Yeah, okay, he wasn't
in North Korea. It was a two for one. You
never would have come back. We went together.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
This guy said about you, how about you pull up
your own feedback, your dweebis. How about you interact and
do your own thing. He get out of my face,
He said, you get worst showed by show. Meanwhile, he
keeps listening, so thank you.

Speaker 1 (19:29):
No what I'm doing? A tough guy with a microphone.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
What I'm saying is, I don't think it's as bad
as that as people are making it out to be.
It's bad, but is it as bad as people are
making it out?

Speaker 1 (19:42):
Called you leg Mary Olympus, I would just making stuff.

Speaker 3 (19:47):
I would love to see him and measy two O
six says spot please show it again. I just joined
from hearing you guys on the radio.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
You would think you would think that this kid got
the home plate and stabbed somebody the way people are acting,
But it's.

Speaker 5 (19:58):
No different than a viral vide of some kid having
a meltdown in public and no one does anything about it,
or like that kid, the video of a mom who's
like filming her daughter. She's like, no, no, you got
to put the eggs in first before this, and then
she tells her to like go her self, and you're like,
and then the kids just get away with this.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
But you know what, so like, we're so hypocritical. This
is a little boy, right, he has plenty of time
to learn. But everybody's okay with how young people are
talking on social media and on TV and on Love Island.
The things that people open up about are vile, vile.
The things that people say and put out there and they.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
I have hold on. Not to sound corny, but there's
a girl from Love Isoland. It's called Decory.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
She was on call her daddy and she says the
most vile things that you pray every night for your
daughter to never say publicly.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
But we're okay with this, and we applaud it. We're like, oh, yeah.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
You don't get them. Hold on, we can't say that. Yeah,
we're so every that's fine and we're cool with that.
And everyone's taking her clothes off for the internet. But
this kid's celebrating a home run. It's the worst thing
I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
Someone could hit by that bat Bonker's and hypocritical dude.

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Two things could be true. No, no, no, because no one's
saying that's bad. Everyone's saying that's okay. You think people
are saying that's okay. Yeah, everyone's liking it watching. I
guess sam I saw the clip could be to speaks
of there's a girl from Love Islands.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
What's her name, Kenzie?

Speaker 2 (21:24):
Kenzie, like the popular Love Island girl. She's like, I'm
just a regular girl from Georgia. And she thanked Alex Cooper,
who host call her daddy. She goes because of you,
I know how to beep a guy and beat beep.
All She's like because of you and start saying those
vulgar things that she learned for this And I'm like,
old qualms or any hesitation?

Speaker 1 (21:43):
What's you? And everyone say, yeah, that's the best.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Yeah, all this stuff, But this kid's celebrating home runs,
the worst thing on the internet.

Speaker 5 (21:51):
Stay toxic, stay petty. No, don't be toxic, don't be petty.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Does it makes it? It's not the mathing math thing.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
Guys, as they say, I'm sorry, you're allowed to say
young teens and twenties have lust away and also say
that this home runs a bit much for an eleven
year old and not be so at.

Speaker 1 (22:07):
Least eleven he kill. Adults are supposed to set the tones.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
We as people, right need to stop rewarding awful behavior, period.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Did you say we the people? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (22:18):
And that means like stop blowing smoke up, hey, Thomas Jefferson,
people's profiles and liking terrible things and stop feeding into
terrible algorithms.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
And yeah, we shouldn't be uplauding this kid, no question.

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Just flash. There's a lot of bad people out but
there's a lot of terrible why is this kid bankrupt people?
I get what you're Quino saying.

Speaker 2 (22:37):
In a world of smut and people making terrible decisions
on the Delhi, we focus on this one kid pimping
a home run. You would think that he committed a
murder in the dugout right after. But in the in
the world, you know what it is though. I think
people look at this poor kid and say, this is
a reflection of where kids are going with sports, because
there's already the sentiment that kids are like kids are

(22:58):
playing too much sports. They don't up travel ball, this ball,
club ball, and on top of that, they need every
piece of equipment, every bat, every sliding glove, and they're
and they're behaving like this.

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I know. It just sort of go with the whole narrative.

Speaker 2 (23:09):
You're you're the coach of your son's team, if his
son coach, what do you think about like the bullpen coach,
if you're manager and show voted a little too much.
He would never do this. But if he showed it
a little too much, what would you.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Tell him A bit, buddy, We don't.

Speaker 2 (23:25):
That's not you know, that's not how we play the game.
That's how we play the game. And you gotta be
a little general. I always tell the boys class, I
always tell the boys respect.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
You want to be a little gentleman. Sportsman ship. Yeah,
those things never go out of stop. Little gentleman. I
like them cheering, and I like, you know what, guys
they're also looking from.

Speaker 2 (23:40):
I think the NYG made a solid, solid point that
only backs up what I'm saying here. And I'm not
taking his kid's side, But did we not just watch
the World Baseball Classic? And doesn't it seem like all
the Latin nations celebrate a little different than the American names.
You're looking through American eyes and that's not where they're playing,
and that's not how the culture is.

Speaker 1 (23:58):
So you're you're projected.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
In your American are American culture on this little Hispanic
kid who doesn't even play in this country. Apparently our
American culture is ranch dressing. I learned that over the lasts. No,
but I mean, wasn't there a stark difference of how
people celebrate? Of course, the Work Baseball Classic was so
much more fun. Give me ask Big Poppy how he
feels about that. Listen, you know why are we asking?

Speaker 1 (24:19):
Uh? Johnny Americana ask ask Many Ramirez how he feels
it's Friday. Relax, dude, Like I said, it's not adding up.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
We're all we're all piling on an eleven year old
Isaac tell him to relax?

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Do I have to?

Speaker 4 (24:35):
He's got that, he's got that captivating haircut.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I mean it's called the uh the o. But I
agree with you that why are we being so hard
on this kid? Forget about the kid? I think what
everyone's saying is really coaches, you're allowing this. You know
what's even more disgusting if you're in the algorithm moment, dude,
Now you're going to tell people in other countries how
they should play the game like you. If that's what
I'm saying, different if you have a similar algorith them

(25:00):
to me, it's a lot of butt cheeks and a
lot of sports. And among those sports clips, I see
a heck of a lot of coaching flaws where you
see like coaches getting thrown out by umpires, coaches fighting
other coaches. It's a really like eye rolling competitive gross
world in kids sports out there, you see the worst

(25:20):
in people sometimes. And I think we could assess this
by saying that kid's so young. The fact that coaches
and parents allowed it, that's what the problem. I think,
Danny g we really need to get to the bottom
of where this takes past.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Right, it looks like it could be Mexico.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
All right, And guess what other countries party differently, They
celebrate differently, they cheer victories differently. We see it, so
why are we surprised if this is another country, that's
what they accept this different So now we're just expecting
him to behave like little Kyler does on your little
league team.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
I'm all about accepting cultural differences, but this is gross
and I'm sorry. It should not be taught this way.
And I'm like, little kids should be able to be
joyful and cheerful and you know, but they need to
be kept in boundaries because they don't know where the
boundaries are until they get older.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yeah, but in other countries this is a way of life.
But you think in any society, in any culture of
what that kid did was should be like, No, I'm
a nice American boy, Rich I don't agree with that,
but guess what, Like, we don't know his circumstance.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
They played it. They play to live and survive in
other places.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
When they're playing in the DR, they're playing it to
make it to the bigs and get out of the
Dominican Republic, playing to live or die in the Are
you think that celebration has anything to do with that? Yeah,
because that's what all the adults are doing. Look at
that's how they play the game. We have gone way
too long. Hey man, it's a controversial clip, I believe
it or not, despite what you're believing or thinking. I

(26:51):
agree with Rich it's overboard, but I'm saying we don't
know the whole circumstance.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
And he's a kid, all right, So was it obnoxious? Yes?

Speaker 2 (26:59):
And that's why it's about Covino and Rich. You got
more coming up. We're going to talk about Lebron James,
Lebron James, the pressure that someone's putting on Lebron plus

Speaker 1 (30:23):
I'll fire it up to yesterday.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
You were all laughing at the like Tyson, you know
Tani was over wude. Just because I'm giving you I
don't know thoughts to ponder doesn't mean I'm sad about anything.
People are jumping to conclusions here, and this viral clip
is really dividing that.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Yeah, yeah, I have an update for you. I feel
like Pablo Tori investigating. So the first search of that
billboard company comes up for Mexico, but as I dug
deeper and entered a phone number in some search sites,
Santo Domingo comes up. So at least that company advertising
electronics equipment is Dominican Republic.

Speaker 1 (31:00):
So it's where this looks like it's.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
From where the little kid hit the home run and
he's obnoxiously celebrating.

Speaker 1 (31:05):
We all agree on that it took place in the
Dominican Republic.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
So why are we projecting our American values, in our
American way of the game on a bunch of little
Dominican kids that grow up playing and watching a completely
different game, That's all I'm saying. Like, why do we
expect little Cruise here to be celebrating the way little uh,
little Tyler does in the US?

Speaker 1 (31:26):
Two completely different cultures.

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Little puppy, Yeah, why do we expect little Poppy, baby Poppy,
little puppet to be celebrating like the little boy d
Riches did, David Calas did David.

Speaker 1 (31:40):
Ortiz do this stuff?

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Though in the majors, I don't know, but guess what,
they all do it and we see it, and we
see the different styles of play when other cultures and
countries are involved.

Speaker 2 (31:49):
So why are we, you know, coming down on a
little boy. Do I agree with it? No, But I'm
looking through my American eyes and how i'd raise my kid.
It's not my kid and he's not playing in this country. Congratulations,
you were able to somehow find an angle where this
is acceptable. We mean an angle. You're just jumping at
a little kid. I'm not jumping as it's not an angle.
I'm just saying, does this warrant like the kid committed

(32:11):
a crime?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
You're more mad.

Speaker 2 (32:14):
You're more mad about this kid than the actual broadcaster
who was cheating on his girlfriend and San Antolio. He
didn't commit a crime. Okay, believe it of this kid.
But I'm not saying it's a game of baseball, does that.
I just think it's unacceptable. You get a five steams
coming at yours. You're mean, like ridiculous, Like I'm not mad,
like even a little bit. I'm almost saying, like, why
is everybody ganging up on one little kid?

Speaker 1 (32:36):
All over the internet? Who cares?

Speaker 5 (32:37):
People do so much more vile, terrible stuff all over.
We never would have known about this if the person
didn't film it. So the person filmed it. Does anyone
agree with this kid? Absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
I would never do that. Guess what?

Speaker 2 (32:51):
I hit twenty seven Little league home runs never celebrated
like that, So I'm not defending it. And if you, guys,
if I just slam dunked on all your stupid points,
don't get mad at me. Oh and that goes to
all the feedback that's coming into of those litter league
home runs, have anything where like errors are inside the park,
nuns all over the fence, not one because inside the
park little league home runs don't count. If if it

(33:13):
just keeps rolling and there was always a fence, what
kind of weak ass little league did you play in it?

Speaker 3 (33:17):
We have to believe Steve. There's no video of this,
there's what do you mean you think like the ball
just kept rolling that?

Speaker 1 (33:22):
No, No, we believe you. We sertainly believe he doesn't count.
There's a newspaper clipping. I saw he's online.

Speaker 2 (33:28):
Yeah, Steve coming on the fence, one of them over
the fence. Catch your program, all right? So it looks
like it's not even in America yet. You guys think
you know everything. Get out of my face. Haters, you're
just man. You didn't hit any liter league home runs.

(33:48):
You know what, that's my stance. Here's my hot take
of the day. Ready, anyone mad about this little kid
celebrating his home run. You don't know his circumstance. That
might have been his first hit of the year. Maybe ever, Okay,
for all we know, he has a tough life and
that meant the world to him. Anyone mad about that
sucked that little league and never hit a home run?

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Take that. Put that in your pipe and smoking. That's
the exclamation point. You needed to put that in your
pipe and smoking. We're back.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
You know that means that means you're just jellous because
you never hit a little league home Here that Isaac,
Let's do an update the.

Speaker 1 (34:22):
Kron You hit a home run a little league?

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Well, a Fox Sports Radio investigation has been launched and
I actually did yet never on a field with a fence.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
We do have.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
Breaking Steve Cavino news. We have found a picture of
him with an Eastern aluminum bat hopped over his right
shoulder out with the magenta colored hat that says union.
We also have another picture of him warning number twenty
two during his high school playing days. Yeah oh yeah,

(34:57):
must have been cold out anyway. We also have a
make sure of him in his high school football uniform
number eighty five, and I hope this is not with
the shoulder pads on it.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
He calls himself the original Ocho sinco is true, Yeah true,
I mean myself that before Shad John's.

Speaker 4 (35:15):
Technically is correct on that.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Guys.

Speaker 4 (35:18):
All, hell is breaking loose right now in the world
of sports, because in round two of the Open Championship,
Lucas Herbert, at eight under par overall, had a one
shot lead over Bryson Deshamba, who shot a four hunder
sixty six today but a short time ago. Well over
an hour after concluding his round, Deshambo was assessed a
two stroke penalty for stomping on some tall grass in

(35:40):
the rough before a shot on the fifth hole, which
officially meant that he quote improved the area of his
intended backswing unquote, which is ironically also the goal of
a Brazilian butt left. Anyway, Deshambo therefore is now three
shots back instead of one shot back. The NFL has
suspended that Arizona Cardinals director of college scouting Ryan Gold

(36:03):
indefinitely for violating the league's gambling policy. An NFL investigation
determined that Gold provided confidential information about the Cardinals twenty
twenty six draft selections before they were publicly announced, and
also participated in parlay bets on NFL and college games.
The NFL said in a statement quotes, I'm.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Shopped, shopped to find that gambling is going on in
here winning, so thank you very much.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
Actually, the real statement said quote, there is no reason
to believe the integrity of any NFL game was affected.
Unquote say upgrade your FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six setup,
build it like Beckham from living room to lawn with
the home depot and take the fast free delivery. Assist
the home depot. Official FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six
supporters subject to availability. The action continues tomorrow at five

(36:52):
pm Eastern with a third place game between France and England.
Championship game kicks off Sunday at three pm Eastern, defending
champ Argentina against Spain. Back to the original, Oh Joe
Sinco and rest.

Speaker 1 (37:08):
Crime. We always said we got more coming up.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
We got Brainwave weekend hobnobin and we're going to talk
some Lebron and Adam Silver said something pretty interesting yesterday
about the Lebron decision Part two or three. Now we'll
get to that old next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
The Cup is down to its final matches. DraftKings has

Speaker 1 (38:39):
I'm gonna put you guys on the Aaron Rodgers timer
when you talk Lebron.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
All rights problem plus weekend hobnobbin. We'll get to it
all next hour. But to wrap up our last story,
you know, I agree with you as obnoxious to little
kids home run celebration that's gone viral that we've been
talking about. But you know, I truly believe in how
base ball polices itself, right, And yeah, he'll get his

(39:03):
f around and find out FOFO, the old foftfoo, the
old fo fo balances everything.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Out, So I'm not worried about it. Man. Right, Well, hey,
we are.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Doing it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and
oh my god, am I seeing things The Tireract play
of the day. The Mets actually did something good. Three
one is launched to left, marshco and back. It's over
his head. He turns and it's gone. It snuck over
the railing and left into the flower Bend. Francisco Albarez

(39:33):
with his second home run of the game. We did
He'd do for forty years. Tirerack's been helping customers round
the right tis or how what and where they drive.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
That's gort of see. By the way, have Mets Radio Network,
our Tireraq play the.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Day, Tireract shipping fast and free back by free Road,
has ad protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation,
tirec dot com, the way tire buying should be. And
as we get closer to the trade deadline, you would
think the Mets to be sellers. But from one am
other standing Danny Jiguz, you know, like maybe Lindor would
be on the move. Their Sam Lindor is very much

(40:08):
involved in every decision the Mets make, like he's not
going anywhere, and either a Soto and probably their relationship
isn't really bad. Well it got better, it got better,
but the team still isn't good. So it's like, I
don't know where you where do you go from here? Like,
if you're the Mets and you're the most under delivering,
high payroll disappointing team, do you just sort of run
back half of that team next year and change some things.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
And hope you get a different result? Because what do
you do? They would pay you millions of dollars to
figure out the answer.

Speaker 2 (40:37):
To this question exactly that though, that would because because
Steve Collins said he's sticking with the general manager, David Stearns,
they fired the manager. They're gonna try to get like
an Alex Korras or someone of that magnitude next season.

Speaker 1 (40:50):
So what do you do?

Speaker 2 (40:51):
You think you just get a new manager, try to
get some starting pitching and hope that hope that Lindor
Bashett Soto and everyone just clicks next year. I know
an eleven year old kid named Crusito that might might
change that. They need to fire up your locker room,
get some get some energy going. But you know what
I'm saying, When your team is a high payroll level

(41:13):
team and they just didn't deliver it, do you do?
You make some adjustments. Obviously pitching is a big part
of that, but like you just make some adjustments and
hope that things change.

Speaker 1 (41:22):
Or is that just fools, fools thinking.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
I think you nailed it. I think they're gonna go
go get like an Alco chorus, and they're gonna get
rid of a bunch of people that they can hopefully
capitalize off of them. Yeah, you know, well we'll see
what happens.

Speaker 1 (41:36):
Baseball.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
We are what less than one hundred games left, easily
less than a hundred games left, and uh, your Yanks are.

Speaker 1 (41:42):
Looking all right. Yanks are the best team in baseball.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Well, listen, we got more Covine on Rich, We'll talk
some Lebron, we'll play some brain Wave. All coming up
next hour, Fox Sports Radio.
