a sudden LFGM.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Maybe it's my grimmest T shirt today. Maybe it's a
Dodgers decision to go with the bullpen game. Or maybe
when I'm there they lose and when I'm not they win.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I was thinking that, but let's be rocking out. It's
Cadino and Rich Yo, Danny G.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Congrats on the big win last night. Dodger's breaking my
heart in person.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, I wish we could have saved some of those
nine runs for today.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I almost feel as though, Danny, I almost feel as though,
can we just flip it? Couldn't I go with my
kids and have a win and then you could have
had today?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Like, can't it just work the way we wanted to work?
Speaker 5 (01:27):
You actually texted that to me yesterday before you went
to Dodger Stadium. You said, give us today and you
can have it tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Please.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
My kids are there. Tickets are not cheap. My son's
downing Dodger dogs. I'm surprised he didn't poop his pants.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
You're the mush, though, You're the mush, but not all
sad and dude bloom. You got to hang out with
David Wright. Seeing you together was like David right and
David wrong. It was like two long lost brothers. You
saw David Wright. You got pictures with your kids and
David Wright. You hung out in the postseason environment with
your kids, your family. Great seats win in itself. Yeah,
(02:01):
but you know, but don't get to experience Cavino.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
When they don't score one run and then the first
batter of the game today Lindor gets on the board.
It's like, dude, come on, but you know what today
and that's that's the beauty of baseball too. And they
said it you were there, Rich, I mean for people
not piecing it together.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Rich was at the game with his family yesterday. But
during the game they said it, it doesn't matter if
you lose nine to nothing or one nothing. In fact,
maybe losing nine nothing is is is less stressful than
losing a nail bier, a heartbreaker. So it didn't matter
if you got blown out yesterday. It was fun for
the Dodgers. But look, new game, new day day today
and you're winning six nothing right now.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, hey, with that Dodgers offense. The one thing I
did notice because we are going to go over things
that make you go hmm with.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Football in just a little bit, but when.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It comes to baseball for real, Cavino, when you don't
watch a Dodgers day in and day out, that lineup
is insane. Like when you're oh, Tani, we'll get past him.
Oh then there's Mookie Bets. Well oh wait then this's
Freddy Freeman. Oh wait, then there's Ti Oscar. Oh wait,
then there's Max Munsey. Oh wait, then there's keik.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It goes on and on like that Dodgers lineup.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Did you even mention show? Hey?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, he's yeah. He leads off. Yeah you got yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I mean and like you said, Keky Hernandez steps up.
It's his time of the year. He loves Halloween. As
he says, the guy's hitting like a machine. But dude,
it's anybody serious because as of today, your team still
has the magic. They didn't lose any magic from that loss.
And they say it over and over again just because
they got blown out. It doesn't mean anything. The Mets
have been through enough this season to let that affect
(03:36):
them today. So it just sucks that you were there
with your family. And what's the over under Danny g
on two thousand dollars? How much do you think Rich
spent between tickets, parking and concessions and parking and his kid.
His son had at least four hot dogs.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I'm gonna say he spent nineteen hundred dollars. It's a
little old wishes, you know what.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Put it over the two hundred dollars to park in
parking lot F, which wasn't even like the premium parking
that was just like the outskirts of the stadium. But listen,
all in all great time thanks to our buddy Weeze
here at Fox Sports Radio. He's the man, a magical
knight for the kids. Even though the Dodgers came out
on top last night, Cavino said it, I'm down by
the Mets dugout. We have pretty sweet seats and I
(04:23):
see David Wright, Mets legend there, and he's just chopping
it up with Mets fans. So I go up, introduce myself,
tell my work for Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We you know, chat for a minute about LA and
New York.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And I'm like, hey, Dad, did you guys smash helmets
like they do with the Dodgers?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Why I did the Dodger home run greeting with David Wright? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
of course why would I not? And I was like, Dave,
I don't want to be that guy, but you mind
taking a picture with my kids, And he's like, of course,
puts his arms around my two little booger eating kids.
And now it brings up conversation one I want to
have because I do want to talk a lot of NFL,
but I do feel like NFL weeks in not a
(05:01):
lot of surprises.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm calling Week six back to reality.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I feel like it's a there wasn't anything that made
me go hmm on a major level. So we will
talk a lot of NFL, but maybe we're finding who
these teams are now.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, I mean unless you're Alliance fan or Buccaneers fan.
Though the games are sort of boring, dude, The games
themselves are kind of eh. Again, maybe in comparison to
the excitement of the postseason here with baseball, but I
wasn't that pumped watching any of these games.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So my thought was, when you're watching the NFL, because
we're gonna get to all that, At what age do
you feel like it's worth spending the money to bring
your kids places of value meaning a playoff game, a
concert of you know that's not cheap. You go on vacation,
(05:52):
you go with your wife to Hawaii or the you know, Mexico,
Dominican Republic. When do you start saying, hey, let's bring
the kids. Getting the kids is like just two more
little moocher's as far as money goes, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, there's no question about that. I have to start
off by saying it's all relative, right on your budget
of course. And Rich, we're in a fortunate spot being
that we work for Fox Sports Radio. We had a
nice hookup. You got the tickets at face value. But again,
is it worth bringing your nose picking son to the
game when he's four years old? For reference, Rich's kids
are seven and four, and I don't even see it
(06:27):
that way. I think they're at a perfect age. Is
Ben old enough to remember? Probably not. But you're setting
that foundation, man, which is priceless. You know, money can't
buy that that moment. You're creating those memories, You're creating
the foundation you're setting for your family of Hey, we're
a Mets family. We do fun things. Remember when dad
(06:48):
and mom took you to that awesome time when they
made the postseason? Like it's about it's about setting up
that foundation of a loving family who likes sports and
it brings people together. I mean more than it is
about the money being it really is.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've been at big events and I look around, I'm
like that, she doesn't care, that's just the guy's date,
or look at that person. They got three kids, with
them and want to waste the tickets. And I was
that guy yesterday and my son just for the just
for the story. He's going to be five in a
couple months, so it's gonna be in kindergarten next year.
So you could argue, dude, too young, But then I
felt like I can't take just my daughter and be like, honey,
(07:24):
i'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You have you have siblings, they both want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I have a buddy who talks to this day about
how he actually remembers going to see Michael Jackson when
he was in kindergarten with his parents, like you remember,
that's like a core early memory.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And I'm like, that's what I'm saying. And when you
look back, you might not remember him doing the moonwalk,
but you know that your parents loved you enough to
take you to that event. And I think that's what
it's about.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Like Danny, You've you've taken You've taken co at the
Disney a bunch of times. That just sort of set
in the groundwork to be like, hey, this is you know,
we want to make special moments for you.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Yeah, And there's psychology who say that even little babies
that age have that like a file folder in their brain.
And so even though they can't fully remember these experiences,
that's still a lasting memory that's in your subconscious.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Not only your subconscious, though, it's also for you as
a parent. Right, doesn't it make you feel good like
you're doing something nice for your kids. Look, granted they
don't remember, you know, you can say it's wrong with that, right,
And there's nothing wrong with that, Like I'm doing it
to check off a little box for me to say
that I did, and I took them there and we
tried to have a nice time. Even though your team lost,
(08:36):
you know, it's still a memory. And you know what,
looking back, Rich, you'll laugh at that it was a
laugher of a game and they lost nine zero and
maybe you brought them some bad luck and Ben eight
seven hot dogs. Like then it turns to seven Ben
eight seventeen hot dogs. Yeah, and the legend becomes reality
and you guys will laugh about that, and you'll have
the pictures to prove it, you know. So, and then
kids they memory, they they hold on to those memories
(08:58):
to pictures. I know, I do. Yeah, Sometimes I'm confused,
I'm like, do I remember that? Do I just remember
the pictures?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
With that, said Dan Bayer, Danny g I was say,
im Spotty's in the studio, our our Buddi's Paul and
Carrie visiting from Minnesota. So we got a full house
here Cavino's in Idaho. Today, I gotta ask, are their
core memories that you remember? Can you be in that
we are Fox Sports? Do you have your first memory
of like, oh, is that a Dodgers game?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Danny?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Do you remember your first like my mom got them,
we we got tickets and we went to the Raiders game.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Do you have those core memories?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
I do.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I remember my grandmother driving us from a rialto California
to the Dodgers stadium bleachers way up high. She had
a son umbrella. She had a little transistor radio so
she could hear Vin Scully call the game, and uh,
it was hot. I remember it being hot. And I
remember Fernando Valenzuela being the picture.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Is that a core memory? It's a core memory. This
guy just gave me. He was like telling a beautiful story.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, you know and that, and then he grows up
thinking I'm a Dodgers kid. I'm a Dodgers fan. It's
in my blood. It's what we do. Yeah, and that's
a that's a great thing.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And by the way, rich and you're right, your parents,
by the way, you are right, com You know your
parents didn't exaggerate that story. Like when I was a kid, Apparently,
when Mookie Wilson would beat I don't know if they
do it for Mookie bets out here, Danny do the
fans do the moo and it sounds like they're saying
boo uh not so from Mookie Wilson there.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And I rode on the level of Wilson.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And apparently the story which gets exaggerated is that I
was so upset that they were booing Mookie Wilson.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I'm like, wa, Mookie Wolf.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's like it's you know, I was five years old,
nineteen eighty five, Chase Stadium, So you know, I think
if I have or have those quote memories, maybe that's
around the age.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You start doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I remember going to Yankee Stadium, original old school, mystical,
beautiful Yankee Stadium where I had that weird sort of
glow in the air and the Bontan potato chip advertisements.
You remember the old Yankee Stadium. I remember being there
with my aunts and uncles and cousins and like the families,
they're like, yo, we're Yankees fans. I guess I'm a
(11:00):
little kid in New York City and I just remember
screaming with my aunts and cousins like.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Willi Randolph.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And You're just setting up these these fun memories. And
I remember he turned around and he waved, and we
had him on our show years later and I jokingly said,
you remember, right, He's like, yeah, kid in the eighties.
He's like, yeah, I remember, I remember, And we had
the privilege of interviewing and meet him, meeting him years later.
But dude, those memories stick with you, and they feel
like a dream. And it's not like you took your kid.
(11:33):
Like I'm not saying you take your kid everywhere, right,
That's not it. Like I go to Vegas and I'm like,
why would these parents be strolling their kids smoke filled casino?
And granted I've been there too. I got married with
my kid there in Vegas. So I understand there's reasons
and exceptions as to why these things happened, but there
are moments and places where you probably shouldn't be taking
(11:56):
your kids to a postseason ball game when you have
the option and privilege to take him at Dodger Stadium
as a Mets fan. Man, I wouldn't hesitate, and I
wouldn't regret that one bit. I don't care if you
spent four thousand dollars on those tickets. Seriously, nice, worth
every penny. Thanks Bud Dan Bayer.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Any any childhood memories of those sports, those first sports memories,
maybe mom or dad, or like an aunt or uncle
or someone you remember them watching a game and you
cheering along.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I think I've said this story. My first game that
I remember going to was a Brewers Blue Jays game
at Milwaukee County Stadium when Dave Steve pitched for Toronto.
I remember, I remember that, But we were we I
became a Seahawks fan because of Dave Craig, who was
from around the area where I grew up.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I was seven at the time.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
But they played the Packers in a game in Milwaukee
in nineteen eighty four, and we went and met Seahawks
players after the game. So that's a little further advanced
than your son, Rich. But yeah, so seven is you
know you're remembering everything at seven?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I have a three year old. I my daughter seven,
so I know you meant.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Yeah, yeah. So like my son's three is gonna be
three and a half soon. I'm still waiting where he
can remember it because.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
In perspective to dB, most of us could remember like kindergarten, right,
So if you're running around that cuffs, put that in perspective,
you're gonna remember going to a postseason game four or
five ish or the reality.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Like you said, can you know you'll remember it through
the picture? Yeah, and that's enough. Like like the old
Jocos kids will say, I remember taking a bath in
the sink.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't think you do.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I think what you remember is the picture your mom
has shown you one hundred times of like here's what.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
We gave you, a bath in the sink. I don't
think you really remember getting a bathroom sink keeps the
memory alive, you know, maybe you do remember it, but
that keeps it fresh. But Dan Bayer, if you were
seven years old, that's the pocket for sure. But I
think you could start. You can remember a lot of
stuff from five on, especially impactful moments like yeah for sure.
So just a.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Reminder that just I know, CANVI you know you love
a lesson to be learned.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
At the end of our conversation, if you're hesitant to
bring your kid to Disney, a ballgame, vacation, if you're thinking, listen,
if budget's not the issue and you're just trying to decide, like.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, should I I After.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Last night, even though the Mets got stopped and my
daughter's like, are.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
They gonna do anything that?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You know, she still had her cotton candy. My son
was laughing eat his Dodger dog, and we were fortunate
enough to be sitting near David Wright, so they got
to meet a Mets legend.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It was worth it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do the same if you have the opportunity to take
your kid to one of those events.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Or the fan fast meeting, the big games.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh no doubt, Yeah, do it so.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And they're little wants, dude, they're little once and as
you know, and everybody knows, it goes like this, It
goes so quick, so enjoy it. And I'm glad you
had a good time despite the fact like that you said,
everybody knows they got blown out yesterday. But I'm winning today, man,
and saw that matters. So we got a series. Now
I'm crossing my fingers that they hold on today. Six
nothing is not enough against an offense like the Dodgers.
(14:57):
Like I said, their lineup is from you know, from
one through nine. It's scary.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
But if the Mets hold on today, me going back
to New York tomorrow night to catch the games at
City Field, Yes, feels Danny G's like, go go to
every one of those games, you mush, So I'll be
there so.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
He doesn't have to deal with you during commercial breaks
about these games.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
That's why him out of his hair exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
And plus, you guys don't want me here doing the
Mets Dodgers anyway. So going back if it is one
to one is so different than being down too. Well,
oh yeah, like going to game three and four on
Wednesday and Thursday will be so much different.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
No one here is a victory in itself.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, so please keep this one to one, keep this
game and keep this lead so I could go back
with some happiness. So I'll go back and I'll have
some fun with that. So hey, well we'll keep you
in the loop all week here. Obviously, playoff's a big deal,
but we got to talk a little NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Well, it doesn't have to be NFL, but it's mostly
going to be NFL. It's anything that made you go hmmm.
We do it every Monday here on the Coveno and
Rich Show Fox Sports Radio. And you know, actually, one
of my first thoughts doesn't even have to do with football,
has to do with why is the Mets game on
right now? I feel like it's like the weakest time
for a major postseason game. These are two major teams.
(16:17):
People are at work like, who's watching this? Like what
a week ass time to put the game on. But
I get it, what else are you gonna do to?
Yankees are playing Cleveland later, but just the week's start time.
It's Danny, you and I talked about this in the kitchen.
I was there as a fan. I got home last
night and I was exhausted this morning and I roll.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Into work and they're playing.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I'm like, Danny, I can't imagine going through the emotions
of a game one last night and these guys are
at the ballpark this morning, taking beatp five hours ago.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Dealing with pray forget about the press they got to
deal with and everything else. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
So it is an odd start time, but benefit to
the Covenold Rich audience who wants to hear us every day.
I started got permission from the boss to take a
day off if the Mets, if every game was early,
where it interfered with our showtime. But the Mets have
on Wednesday and Thursday, they have that eight pm Eastern game, right,
and I think the Yankees flip PLoP, so they have
(17:12):
one early game one late game, so they're trying. I
think they're also trying to balance the fact that Mets
Dodgers is a coast to coast rivalry now where you
can't have all those games be week day games.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
No, I guess you have to balance it out. But
that being said, it made us say, hmm, So start
thinking about things you observed over the weekend in the
NFL or baseball or fights. It was a good fight
this weekend, but mostly NFL because there's a lot of
head scratchers there. So write this number down and let's
get involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox or
hit us up at Covino and Rich we do things
(17:46):
that made you go hmmm, and we do it next
here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All right, now, Cavino, one of the best feelings in sports,
that electric buzz of game day all around, and when
you're looking for that same vibe, you got to check
out Graduate Hotels.

Right, Welcome back to the show, live from the tyrack
dot com studio. Rich Davis, super producer, Danny g Iowa,
Samuel on the ones and twos d be the greatest
in the game. They're all in Los Angeles. I'm Steve
Covino out here in Idaho, So shout out to ninety
nine point nine Fox Sports Radio Idaho and of course
(19:21):
all the affiliates rocking out with us and our pals
carrying Paul in the studio. Hope you guys had a
great weekend. Hope you had a Dodgers, Lions, Bucks, Arthur
Better Biev sort of weekend, big fight over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, I could tell people that you're out in Idaho
visiting your girlfriend and her family, or I could say
you're with the Fox Sports affiliate there at a potato
opening like old potato.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Shop, Baked Potato, Sweet Potato Fest. Ye yeah, sweet Potato Fest.
I'm seeing it. I'm the Grand Marshall of the potato Parade.
So again, I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich to numbers eight, seven, seven,
ninety nine on Fox before we do things that made
you go hmmm, actually, a you ready to do this.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
We have a full bank of phone calls of people
saying they want to quickly talk about their first sports memory.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, I'm glad Rich because I was hit about
it too. We did, and I was thinking about, like, yeah,
four closer to five is always the I think most
age appropriate time to bring a kid. But I think
back of all those times I took my daughter to
Disneyland and I got criticized like she's never gonna even
remember it. I really personally don't care because I remember it,
(20:29):
and I did it for the right reasons, and I
did it because I love my kid and I was
trying to create moments. You know who says that at all?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You know who says that our parents generation for real?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No seriously, Yeah, well they won't even remember well because
what I remember. But that's that means something to me.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I mean, there's a reason why my kids have been
on a plane a bunch of times, and I didn't
fly until I was sixteen. Our parents had a different
idea of travel with kids and doing things with your children.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So in other words, Rich spent a lot of low
on his whole family to be at the Dodgers game
yesterday to root on his Mets. Mets got blown out,
but still fun times big worth it. Yeah, all right,
let's say hi to Dollan and Austin. We'll start with
him and we'll take all your calls. What's up, brother, call?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
No problem, man, what's up?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
I remember my first AS game, went to mccafee Stadium,
driving through a neighborhood in Hopeland. My stepdad said, put
your head down, it's a dangerous neighborhood. But Eric Burns
had a grand Slam and a home run that night.
Makes money Ball even better and it's it's cool now
I went to a stadium that that a is no
longer playing. So thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, Dlan.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Just hearing people tell their stories, it makes me realize
that the message here is bring your kids to that
first game, that that special moment when they are four
or five, six years old, because everyone seems to remember it. Danny,
You describing your you describing your your grandma with the
umbrella with the transistor radio.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
That's a hell of a start.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
The food that she brought in in a ziplock back
she's too cheap to buy the food inside. And by
the way, that's funny, Dallon said, as his stepdad said,
for the kids to duck, even if you're taking kids
to a stadium where they need to duck inside the car.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
It's like at Clark Griswolds driving through the hood. Let's say,
what's up to Mike and Boisey? What's up Mike?
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Hey, guys, what's going on? So I got a lot
in common with you, guys. I grew up half in
Jersey half in LA at the same time as a kid.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nice and actually, I'm pretty sure Rich, if your daughter
plays at West Valley Girls Softball, she does a kid,
I I umpire.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
For that as a kid, get out of here in
that league.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
At Hale Junior High.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
But here's the kicker.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'm I'm in boys the Idaho and I.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Want to watch the Yankee game because I'm a die
hard Yankee game with Covino Night Cavino, Where are you
watching the game?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Right now, I'm watching it with my girlfriend's family. But
then I'm hopping on a plane like right around where
the game should be over. So yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I do want to get together. There's a bunch of
dudes out here that listen. Like I said, I was
telling Rich not to brag, but I feel like a
lot of people out here in Idaho listen to our show.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Also book remote up there.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And Cavino also said this, he's one of the few
Mexican dudes up there.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I say that, I did not say that anyway. Having
a great time and thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Man, Yeah, thank you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I think that's Cavino.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Let's go to Patrick in Illinois and we'll move on
to things that made you go.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What's up Patrick?
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Hey, thanks guys for taking the call, love the show.
Thanks you for driving me.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Home every day, no problem or what's up?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Okay? So my first memory, I never really got to
a game until I was like sixteen, But my first
sports memory I was five years old, laying on my
grandma's living room floor and I saw the mean Joe
Green Coke commercial. Didn't know anything about football, but I've
been a die hard Steelers fan ever since.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Well that's a whole question in itself, Like your first
sports memory, like your first RECORLL you weren't there, you
were you were just watching it on TV. As the
commercial came on. Mine might be catch I don't know,
or cheering for Reggie Jackson honestly might be my first
sports memory. I just wasn't there in person eight seven,
(24:08):
seven ninety nine one Fox. Let's take one last phone
call and then we'll do things they made you go.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Let's go to Washington State and say what's up to Austin. Hey, Austin.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
Hi, guys.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
So I'm four or five years old. My dad takes
me to the Kingdome for noseblea spats. They're playing the Colts,
and I asked what team we root for? You said
the blue one. He was a rodeo cowboy. I assumed
he met the team with the horseshoe on the helmet.
Fast forward ten years, We're getting ready draft Peyton Manning.
I'm running around the house going crazy, and that's when
he breaks it to me. He doesn't care about the Colts.
(24:40):
He's a Seahawks fan. But I'm thirty eight and still
a die hard Colts fan.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
There you go, see, look at that he made.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Richie made me think of something too. I do know,
like my first sports memory, my first sports memory, I
remember my parents, they were young and broken. He had
a piece of garbage, black and white TV. Right, I'm
not that old guys, It's just the TV they had.
And what do you remember Dave mcflies. I remember telling
my mom, yeah, I know who that is. She's like,
(25:07):
you don't know who that is. I'm like, yeah, that
guy up he was stepping up to play. I'm like,
he's pinch hitter. Like I was so little, I didn't
know his name. He thought his name was pinch hitter.
I was like, he's pinch hitter. And it just so happens.
I only knew that dude just from watching baseball and
absorbing it. I knew that he didn't play every day.
But when that dude came in, whoever it was, like
in in nineteen eighty eighty one, whoever it was, he
(25:29):
only came in to pinch hit, and I remember the
graphic popped up and it said pinch hitter. My mom
was like, how did you know that? So they thought
it was some sort of like idiot, savant, little genius boy,
but I was starting to absorb the game and I
knew that was the pinch hitter guy. That's one of
my first memories because I love the Yankees as a kid,
I loved baseball, Dann Bayer.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
There's also another layer to this, and I don't think
it proteens to you guys. I'm not sure exactly where
Danny grew up, but I think this would pertain to
Samini for sure. We lived in areas where there wasn't
a pro team in town, so if you were to
go to a game, it would be a three hour,
four hour drive to go to that city to be
(26:10):
able to you know, a more special Yeah. Yeah, so
like it was a really really big deal to be like, Wow,
we're driving to Milwaukee or you know, we're going to
one of those games. That would be a much bigger
deal than that. You know, for my son, the Dodgers
will be in town every night and we can just
drive down the Dodgers Stadium. You know, it's different as
(26:31):
well when you're living in a small town or an
area where there isn't a pro team or college team
to go.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
No, I know it wasn't there yet, but I am
picturing Dan Bayer going down the slide with Bernie the Brewer.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
But I know, I know, I know it wasn't around yet,
but I'm just picturing a little Dan Bayer going down
the slide.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
True story that used to have, like there was a
chalet and Bernie would slide in on a home run
and the balloons would go. I thought they went after
every single run, and I was so disappointed when like
a run scored and he didn't go down the slide
and then balloons would be sent out. But they only
did that during home runs.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But the same with Shay and Cityfield. As a kid,
I thought anytime something coould happened, the apple would come.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Up and they're like, no, Richie, only a home run.
I had to wait for, like Daryl Strubberry to be
learning the game.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yes, yeah, and I saw my kids learning the game,
which is it's all full circle. But Danny, this will
be funny to you mean that you're a Raiders fan.
You talked about your first sport sports memories. You would
think rich is at the eighty six Mets, So the
Niners team that beat the Dolphins, because that's my wheelhouse,
forty nine ers Mets.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
My dad was a gambling man in Stills and he
was in his company's box pool for the Super Bowl,
and I remember my dad bitching and complaining that all
the numbers I got eight and nine these are the
worst numbers because I was a little boy. I was
four or five years old. My dad and he's trying
to explain to me. He was trying to explain to
me a football box pool for the Super Bowl, and
(27:58):
he's like, but they're not good to Richie in nine
trash numbers, Oh damn it, Like he was all mad.
And the Raiders won thirty eight to nine. And I
remember my dad flipping out and being like, oh.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
We're going on a trip. I remember as a little
boy and being my like, Dad's really excited.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Boy. You remember your families reacting to those big moments too,
even though you didn't really know what was going on.
You remember them being excited about it, which made you
feel excited. And yeah, man, looking back, it makes me
feel weird that there's so many people that, as Ron
Parker would say, pooh pooh on sports, when so many
(28:36):
great family moments and foundations to so many great memories
are made that way. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I mean, look at it right now.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Our pals carrying Paul who are stop stop by the
studio to say hi.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
They were at the Rose Bowl because the Gophers played there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Like families, they trips and they you know they bonded
sports connect.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, and we've talked about a million times.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That's the only way sometimes to connect with another dad
at the school.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, exactly. It's great for small talk and for solid
memories and rich no regrets taking your kids yesterday. So
it's getting late early. Let's get into it. Things that
make you.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Go hmmmm, things that make you go, things that make
you go.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I'm gonna give you one thing to maybe go and
then if you want Covino, let's kick at the damn Bayer.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Think about it. Take everyone's feedback.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Perfect.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
The first thing is today is steven A. Smith's birthday,
and it's Jared Goff's birthday. What a present Goff gave
stephen A With the Dallas Cowboys getting trounced by.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
The line yesterday Jerry Jones's birthday.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And let me tell you how many times could they
pan to a sad Jerry Jones?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Right, I got a sad birthday.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Sad birthday.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So my observation is, if you're a Dallas Cowboys fan,
you got to be a little confused.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
That's like, yo, where are we right now?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Like not a good spot?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I mean you have ends, you have good marquee players,
but like, where where do you go?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Well, technically you're still in the mix. Yeah, I mean right,
but they're not looking good.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Think about it.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
The things that made you go hmmm, NFL playoff, Baseball,
the fight game.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We'll take your feedback next and we'll go over all
of ours. But let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
dB.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Let's get you an update of what's happening at Dodgers
Stadium in Game two of the National League Championship Series
that you can see right now on Fox. Mets continue
to lead the Dodgers six nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Now.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
On the top of the fifth inning, Mets got off
on the right foot, snapping the dodgers consecutive scoreless inning
streak at thirty three as Francisco Lindor let off the
game of the solo home run. Then, in the second inning,
with bases loaded after the Mets walked or excuse me,
the Dodgers walked Lindor to make the bases loaded with
two Outsmart Fiento's hit a grand slam Mets six Dodgers
(30:51):
nothing in Game two of a series that the Dodgers
lead one game to none. Guardians and Yankees tonight that's
on TBS seven thirty eight Eastern Time. There are reports
that Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift will be in attendance
of tonight's game one. Anthony Rizzo, by the way, on
the ALCS roster for the Yankees. Now some notes from
the NFL and the forty nine Ers have opened the
practice window for rookie wide receiver Ricky Piersall, as the
(31:15):
first round pick had missed the start of the season
after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest in an
attempted robbery in late August, cold said coach Sheen Steiken
said Anthony Richardson will play in Week seven against the Dolphins,
barring any setbacks from his hip and oblique injury.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Well.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Dolphins said coach Mike McDaniel said today the plants for
quarterback to at tongue of ailoa to return to action
this season. Texans defensive lineman Mario Edwards Junior suspended four
games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Lines defensive
end Aiden Hutchinson at surgery to repair his fractured fibia
and tibia in that suffering. Yesterday's route of Dallas, Kevin
(31:49):
Stefanski sticking with Deshaun Watson as the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Why not try Jamis as a potential spark that you're
looking for.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I think it's just important that we continue to do
everything we can to play good SAMD football.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I think Deshaun gives us the best chance to win.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Bills and Jets tonight to wrap up a week six.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Sorry, I just had to.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Chance to win, it said a lot. Panthers beat the
Bruins on the ice for three senators. That's the Kings
at overtime eight seven, and the Utah Hockey Club dealt
their first loss of the season, losing to the Devils
this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Three nothing, guys.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Back to you, you know what I did today, dB,
Being that I felt like my Mets needed to rebound.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I did a New York parlay.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And remember you could always use code cr show with DraftKings.
I did Mets, Yankees, Islanders, Rangers, Liberty tomorrow and I
did Jets, and then I did another ticket with Bills
because you could argue. You could argue Bills in New
York and the Jets are actually Jersey. That's the big
Apple Apple. Sam's no, what is that the Big Apple?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Sam? Parlay.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I I Sam, that's me all right, hey, the things
that made you go hmm, Week six of the NFL,
and of course anything else in the world of sports
will do that. Next right here, Covino on Rich on
Fox Sports Radio, Hank Tight.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
All right, Io Sam playing some old school punk because
he's an old school punk Io Sam, Big Apple, Sam,
we got Danny g we got dB Rich Davis and me,
Steve Cavino Covino on Rich on Fox Sports Radio Live
from the Tyrack dot com studioud our Big banks to.

I was telling my girlfriend's dad that he needs some
of those bad boys because he's in the middle of
(33:52):
nowhere here in Idaho, like in the mountains of Cascade
or something like that. I don't know. I like, you
need some rapid radios, dude. I think you just made
that up the mountains of Cascade. No, I'm serious. I'm
lying from Idaho right now. Everybody else on the West side.
Rich gotta be loving it right now. I hope you're
having a Mark Fiento sort of day because he put
your team on the plus side with a Grand Slam
(34:13):
and a home run from the door. So your Mets
are looking good right now. But like we do Rich
every Monday.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Outside of Mets and Dodgers fans, yeah, I'd imagine the
same way Danny felt last night. I'm feeling now like, oh,
this is a nice lead. I'm not very stressed. Six nothing. Still,
six is not enough against a team like the Dodgers.
But most fans, I'm guessing, like a Dan Bayer who
doesn't have a horse in the race, is thinking, yeah,
two blowouts in Games one and two, Come on, Mets
and Dodgers, give me something exciting.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
What I loved was Rich during one of the innings
again telling Danny g like, hey, your lineup, like basically
patronizing them Steve like it was like it was six
nothing and basically saying your lineup has a chance to
come back when we all know it's over.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
The Dodgers know it's over.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
You know.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Let men, it was so nice of you Rich to
take Danny G's feelings into account, but it, I mean,
this bad boy is over with.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Most times I would say what I said was bs
and just you know, being nice. But watching the Dodgers
lineup last night, being at Dodger Stadium for real, from
Otani down, it's one of the best line It's like
the night it's like a late nineties Yankees lineup where
you're like, where is the weakest? I saw a lineup
Cavino of the Yankees back then, and you had like
Robbie Cano batting seventh or eighth, like what there are
(35:25):
Sometimes a team's lineup is absurd, and I feel that
way about the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yea.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
The little hope I was holding onto was the Tao
Grand Slam against the Padres because remember the Dodgers isn't
getting blown out in that game, and then you looked
up and it was six to five all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
So again it could still happen, but you guys did
have a couple on and a key spot and the
Mets got out of it. So that's sometimes those moments
you're like, oh, that was the chance to creep back
in a little. But hey we uh knock on wood,
We're only halfway through the steps.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Let's rich just let it go, you know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
One hits no Maximanzi is a bomb, so.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Say oh yeah, shirks.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Leg yeah he us.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Oh nobody was on though, so it's still a five
run league.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Was son of a ETOs it like we do every Monday.
Let's get into it. Things that made you go hmmm,
and Rich, I wrote a bunch of things down. They're
not all football related, just a little bit of everything.
Like I know, nobody's gonna say this, I don't want
to take anyone's answer, so by all means, eight seven
seven ninety nine out fox. I did watch the Arthur
(36:33):
better Biev fight versus Dimitri Beevil. Now Bible is the
guy that packed Canelo at one seventy five, right, yeah,
and I thought he won this fight, yet better Bev
won the decision, so he's the undisputed light heavyweight champion.
And we say this all the time after watching a
good competitive fight. But it really baffles my mind to
(36:55):
see how two people could watch the same fight and
have two different, completely different observations, takeaways and opinions on
who won that fight. Well, you know what, because for me,
it was clear as day that Bible won the fight.
But better bev got the decision because he's the aggressor.
Some people see the aggressor as the winner. The aggressor
is not always the winner. Guys, if you're getting punched
(37:16):
in the face every time you're moving forward, you're not
winning the fight. That is true.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
However, there are other things. It depends on. I'm pointing
out the obvious. Sometimes it depends on who you're watching with.
And I give the example, not the name drop, but
Covino and I were in Mexico wants an event and
we watched. We dipped away from an event we were
supposed to be hosting. We went to a local bar
in Mexico to watch Floyd Mayweather Junior take on Oscar
(37:43):
de la Hoya. Yeah, and you would have thought unanimous
Oscar de la Hoya, whoofed his aster, because we were
watching with a bunch of Mexican people in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
And you know, I still think he did win. It
was a close fight.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Because every time every time he Oscar got one little
shot and the place erupted. Meanwhile, when Maybweather was working
them the whole time. No one reacted, so it's reaction.
It's also when you don't have the copy box in
front of you and you don't know who's landing what.
There are times where I'm watching a fight and then
I see like, oh, he landed twice the punches. I'm
not seeing that.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's the eye test. It's just how people perceive things,
who you're watching, who you're rooting for. And it also
makes me say, hm, that this fight happened and so
many people missed it because it was one of those Yeah,
you might not know their names, but it was a
legitimate fight. But it happened in Saudi Arabia early Saturday,
so a lot of people missed it. So makes you
say him a little bit. Now, how about this man?
(38:40):
The Buccaneers fifty one twenty seven over the Saints. The
Saints scored twenty seven in the second quarter and that
was it. They took the lead in the second so
you're like, wow, man, the Saints are coming back in
this one pretty good, and they couldn't score.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Again after that. The Saints are trash. Baker Mayfield. If listen,
Baker played like three picks In that game, Baker played
great minus a few bad decisions. Take away those Baker
Mayfield interceptions. That game shows you that the Saints are
not very good and you know what, not consistent at all.
What do we talking about early in the season, how
(39:17):
my prediction was the Saints are the worst in the NFL.
And then I looked like a dope like everyone when
they were two and zero. Well what have they done
since that? Haven't won? So are the Saints coming back
to reality? I know they had Rattler and not Derek Carr,
but still the Saints might be mediocause that was one
of the things.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
The second quarter makes me say, like, did the Buccaneers
just you know, step off the gas for a little bit?
They let them back in the game because then they
stopped them the next two quarters after that, but they
look solid. So that made me say, you know what made.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Me go, H, Danny g We all know that the
vikings for five and H. I wish I had someone
from like the Elias Sports pre over here on standby.
I wonder if mathematically, because the NFC North has to
play each other, they will play each other twice each
as you know, does that mean it's impossible for every
team in that division to make the playoffs. And I
(40:08):
say that because as of right now, the Packers Jordan
Love look great this week. Therefore, and two, Caleb Williams
is turning into the guy we thought he was at USC.
They're four and two, four and one the Detroit Lions,
and five and oh, I'm sorry, three in one the
Detroit Lions are because they have the bye week already.
And five and oh, Vikings, is it possible?
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Is it? Four to one? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Four and one.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Is it possible for all of those teams to make
the postseason mathematically, because again, they still have to all
play each other, which means there's losses in there. But
that's that Division six. So we'll take all your feedback.

Dodgers decision to go with the bullpen game. Or maybe
when I'm there they lose and when I'm not they win.

I was thinking that, but let's be rocking out. It's
Cadino and Rich Yo, Danny G.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Congrats on the big win last night. Dodger's breaking my
heart in person.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
No, I wish we could have saved some of those
nine runs for today.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I almost feel as though, Danny, I almost feel as though,
can we just flip it? Couldn't I go with my
kids and have a win and then you could have
had today?
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Like, can't it just work the way we wanted to work?
Speaker 5 (01:27):

You're the mush, though, You're the mush, but not all
sad and dude bloom. You got to hang out with
David Wright. Seeing you together was like David right and
David wrong. It was like two long lost brothers. You
saw David Wright. You got pictures with your kids and
David Wright. You hung out in the postseason environment with
your kids, your family. Great seats win in itself. Yeah,
(02:01):
but you know, but don't get to experience Cavino.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
When they don't score one run and then the first
batter of the game today Lindor gets on the board.
It's like, dude, come on, but you know what today
and that's that's the beauty of baseball too. And they
said it you were there, Rich, I mean for people
not piecing it together.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
Rich was at the game with his family yesterday. But
during the game they said it, it doesn't matter if
you lose nine to nothing or one nothing. In fact,
maybe losing nine nothing is is is less stressful than
losing a nail bier, a heartbreaker. So it didn't matter
if you got blown out yesterday. It was fun for
the Dodgers. But look, new game, new day day today
and you're winning six nothing right now.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, hey, with that Dodgers offense. The one thing I
did notice because we are going to go over things
that make you go hmm with.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Football in just a little bit, but when.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It comes to baseball for real, Cavino, when you don't
watch a Dodgers day in and day out, that lineup
is insane. Like when you're oh, Tani, we'll get past him.
Oh then there's Mookie Bets. Well oh wait then this's
Freddy Freeman. Oh wait, then there's Ti Oscar. Oh wait,
then there's Max Munsey. Oh wait, then there's keik.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
It goes on and on like that Dodgers lineup.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Did you even mention show? Hey?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, he's yeah. He leads off. Yeah you got yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I mean and like you said, Keky Hernandez steps up.
It's his time of the year. He loves Halloween. As
he says, the guy's hitting like a machine. But dude,
it's anybody serious because as of today, your team still
has the magic. They didn't lose any magic from that loss.
And they say it over and over again just because
they got blown out. It doesn't mean anything. The Mets
have been through enough this season to let that affect
(03:36):
them today. So it just sucks that you were there
with your family. And what's the over under Danny g
on two thousand dollars? How much do you think Rich
spent between tickets, parking and concessions and parking and his kid.
His son had at least four hot dogs.
Speaker 5 (03:53):
I'm gonna say he spent nineteen hundred dollars. It's a
little old wishes, you know what.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Put it over the two hundred dollars to park in
parking lot F, which wasn't even like the premium parking
that was just like the outskirts of the stadium. But listen,
all in all great time thanks to our buddy Weeze
here at Fox Sports Radio. He's the man, a magical
knight for the kids. Even though the Dodgers came out
on top last night, Cavino said it, I'm down by
the Mets dugout. We have pretty sweet seats and I
(04:23):
see David Wright, Mets legend there, and he's just chopping
it up with Mets fans. So I go up, introduce myself,
tell my work for Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
We you know, chat for a minute about LA and
New York.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
And I'm like, hey, Dad, did you guys smash helmets
like they do with the Dodgers?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Why I did the Dodger home run greeting with David Wright? Yeah, yeah, yeah,
of course why would I not? And I was like, Dave,
I don't want to be that guy, but you mind
taking a picture with my kids, And he's like, of course,
puts his arms around my two little booger eating kids.
And now it brings up conversation one I want to
have because I do want to talk a lot of NFL,
but I do feel like NFL weeks in not a
(05:01):
lot of surprises.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I'm calling Week six back to reality.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I feel like it's a there wasn't anything that made
me go hmm on a major level. So we will
talk a lot of NFL, but maybe we're finding who
these teams are now.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Yeah, I mean unless you're Alliance fan or Buccaneers fan.
Though the games are sort of boring, dude, The games
themselves are kind of eh. Again, maybe in comparison to
the excitement of the postseason here with baseball, but I
wasn't that pumped watching any of these games.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
So my thought was, when you're watching the NFL, because
we're gonna get to all that, At what age do
you feel like it's worth spending the money to bring
your kids places of value meaning a playoff game, a
concert of you know that's not cheap. You go on vacation,
(05:52):
you go with your wife to Hawaii or the you know, Mexico,
Dominican Republic. When do you start saying, hey, let's bring
the kids. Getting the kids is like just two more
little moocher's as far as money goes, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
No, there's no question about that. I have to start
off by saying it's all relative, right on your budget
of course. And Rich, we're in a fortunate spot being
that we work for Fox Sports Radio. We had a
nice hookup. You got the tickets at face value. But again,
is it worth bringing your nose picking son to the
game when he's four years old? For reference, Rich's kids
are seven and four, and I don't even see it
(06:27):
that way. I think they're at a perfect age. Is
Ben old enough to remember? Probably not. But you're setting
that foundation, man, which is priceless. You know, money can't
buy that that moment. You're creating those memories, You're creating
the foundation you're setting for your family of Hey, we're
a Mets family. We do fun things. Remember when dad
(06:48):
and mom took you to that awesome time when they
made the postseason? Like it's about it's about setting up
that foundation of a loving family who likes sports and
it brings people together. I mean more than it is
about the money being it really is.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I've been at big events and I look around, I'm
like that, she doesn't care, that's just the guy's date,
or look at that person. They got three kids, with
them and want to waste the tickets. And I was
that guy yesterday and my son just for the just
for the story. He's going to be five in a
couple months, so it's gonna be in kindergarten next year.
So you could argue, dude, too young, But then I
felt like I can't take just my daughter and be like, honey,
(07:24):
i'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
You have you have siblings, they both want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
I have a buddy who talks to this day about
how he actually remembers going to see Michael Jackson when
he was in kindergarten with his parents, like you remember,
that's like a core early memory.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
And I'm like, that's what I'm saying. And when you
look back, you might not remember him doing the moonwalk,
but you know that your parents loved you enough to
take you to that event. And I think that's what
it's about.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
Like Danny, You've you've taken You've taken co at the
Disney a bunch of times. That just sort of set
in the groundwork to be like, hey, this is you know,
we want to make special moments for you.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
Yeah, And there's psychology who say that even little babies
that age have that like a file folder in their brain.
And so even though they can't fully remember these experiences,
that's still a lasting memory that's in your subconscious.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Not only your subconscious, though, it's also for you as
a parent. Right, doesn't it make you feel good like
you're doing something nice for your kids. Look, granted they
don't remember, you know, you can say it's wrong with that, right,
And there's nothing wrong with that, Like I'm doing it
to check off a little box for me to say
that I did, and I took them there and we
tried to have a nice time. Even though your team lost,
(08:36):
you know, it's still a memory. And you know what,
looking back, Rich, you'll laugh at that it was a
laugher of a game and they lost nine zero and
maybe you brought them some bad luck and Ben eight
seven hot dogs. Like then it turns to seven Ben
eight seventeen hot dogs. Yeah, and the legend becomes reality
and you guys will laugh about that, and you'll have
the pictures to prove it, you know. So, and then
kids they memory, they they hold on to those memories
(08:58):
to pictures. I know, I do. Yeah, Sometimes I'm confused,
I'm like, do I remember that? Do I just remember
the pictures?
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Well?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
With that, said Dan Bayer, Danny g I was say,
im Spotty's in the studio, our our Buddi's Paul and
Carrie visiting from Minnesota. So we got a full house
here Cavino's in Idaho. Today, I gotta ask, are their
core memories that you remember? Can you be in that
we are Fox Sports? Do you have your first memory
of like, oh, is that a Dodgers game?
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Danny?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Do you remember your first like my mom got them,
we we got tickets and we went to the Raiders game.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Do you have those core memories?
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
I do.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
I remember my grandmother driving us from a rialto California
to the Dodgers stadium bleachers way up high. She had
a son umbrella. She had a little transistor radio so
she could hear Vin Scully call the game, and uh,
it was hot. I remember it being hot. And I
remember Fernando Valenzuela being the picture.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Is that a core memory? It's a core memory. This
guy just gave me. He was like telling a beautiful story.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Yeah, you know and that, and then he grows up
thinking I'm a Dodgers kid. I'm a Dodgers fan. It's
in my blood. It's what we do. Yeah, and that's
a that's a great thing.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
And by the way, rich and you're right, your parents,
by the way, you are right, com You know your
parents didn't exaggerate that story. Like when I was a kid, Apparently,
when Mookie Wilson would beat I don't know if they
do it for Mookie bets out here, Danny do the
fans do the moo and it sounds like they're saying
boo uh not so from Mookie Wilson there.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
And I rode on the level of Wilson.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
And apparently the story which gets exaggerated is that I
was so upset that they were booing Mookie Wilson.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
I'm like, wa, Mookie Wolf.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
It's like it's you know, I was five years old,
nineteen eighty five, Chase Stadium, So you know, I think
if I have or have those quote memories, maybe that's
around the age.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You start doing that.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I remember going to Yankee Stadium, original old school, mystical,
beautiful Yankee Stadium where I had that weird sort of
glow in the air and the Bontan potato chip advertisements.
You remember the old Yankee Stadium. I remember being there
with my aunts and uncles and cousins and like the families,
they're like, yo, we're Yankees fans. I guess I'm a
(11:00):
little kid in New York City and I just remember
screaming with my aunts and cousins like.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Willi Randolph.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
And You're just setting up these these fun memories. And
I remember he turned around and he waved, and we
had him on our show years later and I jokingly said,
you remember, right, He's like, yeah, kid in the eighties.
He's like, yeah, I remember, I remember, And we had
the privilege of interviewing and meet him, meeting him years later.
But dude, those memories stick with you, and they feel
like a dream. And it's not like you took your kid.
(11:33):
Like I'm not saying you take your kid everywhere, right,
That's not it. Like I go to Vegas and I'm like,
why would these parents be strolling their kids smoke filled casino?
And granted I've been there too. I got married with
my kid there in Vegas. So I understand there's reasons
and exceptions as to why these things happened, but there
are moments and places where you probably shouldn't be taking
(11:56):
your kids to a postseason ball game when you have
the option and privilege to take him at Dodger Stadium
as a Mets fan. Man, I wouldn't hesitate, and I
wouldn't regret that one bit. I don't care if you
spent four thousand dollars on those tickets. Seriously, nice, worth
every penny. Thanks Bud Dan Bayer.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Any any childhood memories of those sports, those first sports memories,
maybe mom or dad, or like an aunt or uncle
or someone you remember them watching a game and you
cheering along.
Speaker 7 (12:21):
I think I've said this story. My first game that
I remember going to was a Brewers Blue Jays game
at Milwaukee County Stadium when Dave Steve pitched for Toronto.
I remember, I remember that, But we were we I
became a Seahawks fan because of Dave Craig, who was
from around the area where I grew up.
Speaker 6 (12:40):
I was seven at the time.
Speaker 7 (12:42):
But they played the Packers in a game in Milwaukee
in nineteen eighty four, and we went and met Seahawks
players after the game. So that's a little further advanced
than your son, Rich. But yeah, so seven is you
know you're remembering everything at seven?
Speaker 3 (12:57):
I have a three year old. I my daughter seven,
so I know you meant.
Speaker 7 (13:00):
Yeah, yeah. So like my son's three is gonna be
three and a half soon. I'm still waiting where he
can remember it because.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
In perspective to dB, most of us could remember like kindergarten, right,
So if you're running around that cuffs, put that in perspective,
you're gonna remember going to a postseason game four or
five ish or the reality.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
Like you said, can you know you'll remember it through
the picture? Yeah, and that's enough. Like like the old
Jocos kids will say, I remember taking a bath in
the sink.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't think you do.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I think what you remember is the picture your mom
has shown you one hundred times of like here's what.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
We gave you, a bath in the sink. I don't
think you really remember getting a bathroom sink keeps the
memory alive, you know, maybe you do remember it, but
that keeps it fresh. But Dan Bayer, if you were
seven years old, that's the pocket for sure. But I
think you could start. You can remember a lot of
stuff from five on, especially impactful moments like yeah for sure.
So just a.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Reminder that just I know, CANVI you know you love
a lesson to be learned.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
At the end of our conversation, if you're hesitant to
bring your kid to Disney, a ballgame, vacation, if you're thinking, listen,
if budget's not the issue and you're just trying to decide, like.
Speaker 3 (14:09):
Yeah, should I I After.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Last night, even though the Mets got stopped and my
daughter's like, are.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
They gonna do anything that?
Speaker 2 (14:17):
You know, she still had her cotton candy. My son
was laughing eat his Dodger dog, and we were fortunate
enough to be sitting near David Wright, so they got
to meet a Mets legend.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It was worth it.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Do the same if you have the opportunity to take
your kid to one of those events.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Or the fan fast meeting, the big games.
Speaker 3 (14:33):
Oh no doubt, Yeah, do it so.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
And they're little wants, dude, they're little once and as
you know, and everybody knows, it goes like this, It
goes so quick, so enjoy it. And I'm glad you
had a good time despite the fact like that you said,
everybody knows they got blown out yesterday. But I'm winning today, man,
and saw that matters. So we got a series. Now
I'm crossing my fingers that they hold on today. Six
nothing is not enough against an offense like the Dodgers.
(14:57):
Like I said, their lineup is from you know, from
one through nine. It's scary.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
But if the Mets hold on today, me going back
to New York tomorrow night to catch the games at
City Field, Yes, feels Danny G's like, go go to
every one of those games, you mush, So I'll be
there so.
Speaker 7 (15:15):
He doesn't have to deal with you during commercial breaks
about these games.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
That's why him out of his hair exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
And plus, you guys don't want me here doing the
Mets Dodgers anyway. So going back if it is one
to one is so different than being down too. Well,
oh yeah, like going to game three and four on
Wednesday and Thursday will be so much different.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
No one here is a victory in itself.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Yeah, so please keep this one to one, keep this
game and keep this lead so I could go back
with some happiness. So I'll go back and I'll have
some fun with that. So hey, well we'll keep you
in the loop all week here. Obviously, playoff's a big deal,
but we got to talk a little NFL.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Well, it doesn't have to be NFL, but it's mostly
going to be NFL. It's anything that made you go hmmm.
We do it every Monday here on the Coveno and
Rich Show Fox Sports Radio. And you know, actually, one
of my first thoughts doesn't even have to do with football,
has to do with why is the Mets game on
right now? I feel like it's like the weakest time
for a major postseason game. These are two major teams.
(16:17):
People are at work like, who's watching this? Like what
a week ass time to put the game on. But
I get it, what else are you gonna do to?
Yankees are playing Cleveland later, but just the week's start time.
It's Danny, you and I talked about this in the kitchen.
I was there as a fan. I got home last
night and I was exhausted this morning and I roll.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Into work and they're playing.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
I'm like, Danny, I can't imagine going through the emotions
of a game one last night and these guys are
at the ballpark this morning, taking beatp five hours ago.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Dealing with pray forget about the press they got to
deal with and everything else. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
So it is an odd start time, but benefit to
the Covenold Rich audience who wants to hear us every day.
I started got permission from the boss to take a
day off if the Mets, if every game was early,
where it interfered with our showtime. But the Mets have
on Wednesday and Thursday, they have that eight pm Eastern game, right,
and I think the Yankees flip PLoP, so they have
(17:12):
one early game one late game, so they're trying. I
think they're also trying to balance the fact that Mets
Dodgers is a coast to coast rivalry now where you
can't have all those games be week day games.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
No, I guess you have to balance it out. But
that being said, it made us say, hmm, So start
thinking about things you observed over the weekend in the
NFL or baseball or fights. It was a good fight
this weekend, but mostly NFL because there's a lot of
head scratchers there. So write this number down and let's
get involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox or
hit us up at Covino and Rich we do things
(17:46):
that made you go hmmm, and we do it next
here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
All right, now, Cavino, one of the best feelings in sports,
that electric buzz of game day all around, and when
you're looking for that same vibe, you got to check

dot com studio. Rich Davis, super producer, Danny g Iowa,
Samuel on the ones and twos d be the greatest
in the game. They're all in Los Angeles. I'm Steve
Covino out here in Idaho, So shout out to ninety
nine point nine Fox Sports Radio Idaho and of course
(19:21):
all the affiliates rocking out with us and our pals
carrying Paul in the studio. Hope you guys had a
great weekend. Hope you had a Dodgers, Lions, Bucks, Arthur
Better Biev sort of weekend, big fight over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Yeah, I could tell people that you're out in Idaho
visiting your girlfriend and her family, or I could say
you're with the Fox Sports affiliate there at a potato
opening like old potato.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Shop, Baked Potato, Sweet Potato Fest. Ye yeah, sweet Potato Fest.
I'm seeing it. I'm the Grand Marshall of the potato Parade.
So again, I'm Steve Covino. That is Rich to numbers eight, seven, seven,
ninety nine on Fox before we do things that made
you go hmmm, actually, a you ready to do this.
Speaker 2 (20:01):
We have a full bank of phone calls of people
saying they want to quickly talk about their first sports memory.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
You know, I'm glad Rich because I was hit about
it too. We did, and I was thinking about, like, yeah,
four closer to five is always the I think most
age appropriate time to bring a kid. But I think
back of all those times I took my daughter to
Disneyland and I got criticized like she's never gonna even
remember it. I really personally don't care because I remember it,
(20:29):
and I did it for the right reasons, and I
did it because I love my kid and I was
trying to create moments. You know who says that at all?
Speaker 3 (20:37):
You know who says that our parents generation for real?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
No seriously, Yeah, well they won't even remember well because
what I remember. But that's that means something to me.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I mean, there's a reason why my kids have been
on a plane a bunch of times, and I didn't
fly until I was sixteen. Our parents had a different
idea of travel with kids and doing things with your children.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So in other words, Rich spent a lot of low
on his whole family to be at the Dodgers game
yesterday to root on his Mets. Mets got blown out,
but still fun times big worth it. Yeah, all right,
let's say hi to Dollan and Austin. We'll start with
him and we'll take all your calls. What's up, brother, call?
Speaker 3 (21:14):
No problem, man, what's up?
Speaker 1 (21:17):
So?
Speaker 8 (21:17):
I remember my first AS game, went to mccafee Stadium,
driving through a neighborhood in Hopeland. My stepdad said, put
your head down, it's a dangerous neighborhood. But Eric Burns
had a grand Slam and a home run that night.
Makes money Ball even better and it's it's cool now
I went to a stadium that that a is no
longer playing. So thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, Dlan.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
Just hearing people tell their stories, it makes me realize
that the message here is bring your kids to that
first game, that that special moment when they are four
or five, six years old, because everyone seems to remember it. Danny,
You describing your you describing your your grandma with the
umbrella with the transistor radio.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
That's a hell of a start.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
That's awesome.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
The food that she brought in in a ziplock back
she's too cheap to buy the food inside. And by
the way, that's funny, Dallon said, as his stepdad said,
for the kids to duck, even if you're taking kids
to a stadium where they need to duck inside the car.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
It's like at Clark Griswolds driving through the hood. Let's say,
what's up to Mike and Boisey? What's up Mike?
Speaker 9 (22:15):
Hey, guys, what's going on? So I got a lot
in common with you, guys. I grew up half in
Jersey half in LA at the same time as a kid.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Nice and actually, I'm pretty sure Rich, if your daughter
plays at West Valley Girls Softball, she does a kid,
I I umpire.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
For that as a kid, get out of here in
that league.
Speaker 9 (22:32):
At Hale Junior High.
Speaker 4 (22:34):
But here's the kicker.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
I'm I'm in boys the Idaho and I.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Want to watch the Yankee game because I'm a die
hard Yankee game with Covino Night Cavino, Where are you
watching the game?
Speaker 5 (22:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Right now, I'm watching it with my girlfriend's family. But
then I'm hopping on a plane like right around where
the game should be over. So yeah, that would be cool.
Speaker 7 (22:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
I do want to get together. There's a bunch of
dudes out here that listen. Like I said, I was
telling Rich not to brag, but I feel like a
lot of people out here in Idaho listen to our show.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Also book remote up there.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And Cavino also said this, he's one of the few
Mexican dudes up there.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
I say that, I did not say that anyway. Having
a great time and thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
Man, Yeah, thank you, Mike.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I think that's Cavino.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
Let's go to Patrick in Illinois and we'll move on
to things that made you go.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
What's up Patrick?
Speaker 9 (23:22):
Hey, thanks guys for taking the call, love the show.
Thanks you for driving me.
Speaker 3 (23:25):
Home every day, no problem or what's up?
Speaker 9 (23:28):
Okay? So my first memory, I never really got to
a game until I was like sixteen, But my first
sports memory I was five years old, laying on my
grandma's living room floor and I saw the mean Joe
Green Coke commercial. Didn't know anything about football, but I've
been a die hard Steelers fan ever since.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
Well that's a whole question in itself, Like your first
sports memory, like your first RECORLL you weren't there, you
were you were just watching it on TV. As the
commercial came on. Mine might be catch I don't know,
or cheering for Reggie Jackson honestly might be my first
sports memory. I just wasn't there in person eight seven,
(24:08):
seven ninety nine one Fox. Let's take one last phone
call and then we'll do things they made you go.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Let's go to Washington State and say what's up to Austin. Hey, Austin.
Speaker 8 (24:18):
Hi, guys.
Speaker 10 (24:18):
So I'm four or five years old. My dad takes
me to the Kingdome for noseblea spats. They're playing the Colts,
and I asked what team we root for? You said
the blue one. He was a rodeo cowboy. I assumed
he met the team with the horseshoe on the helmet.
Fast forward ten years, We're getting ready draft Peyton Manning.
I'm running around the house going crazy, and that's when
he breaks it to me. He doesn't care about the Colts.
(24:40):
He's a Seahawks fan. But I'm thirty eight and still
a die hard Colts fan.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
There you go, see, look at that he made.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Richie made me think of something too. I do know,
like my first sports memory, my first sports memory, I
remember my parents, they were young and broken. He had
a piece of garbage, black and white TV. Right, I'm
not that old guys, It's just the TV they had.
And what do you remember Dave mcflies. I remember telling
my mom, yeah, I know who that is. She's like,
(25:07):
you don't know who that is. I'm like, yeah, that
guy up he was stepping up to play. I'm like,
he's pinch hitter. Like I was so little, I didn't
know his name. He thought his name was pinch hitter.
I was like, he's pinch hitter. And it just so happens.
I only knew that dude just from watching baseball and
absorbing it. I knew that he didn't play every day.
But when that dude came in, whoever it was, like
in in nineteen eighty eighty one, whoever it was, he
(25:29):
only came in to pinch hit, and I remember the
graphic popped up and it said pinch hitter. My mom
was like, how did you know that? So they thought
it was some sort of like idiot, savant, little genius boy,
but I was starting to absorb the game and I
knew that was the pinch hitter guy. That's one of
my first memories because I love the Yankees as a kid,
I loved baseball, Dann Bayer.
Speaker 7 (25:48):
There's also another layer to this, and I don't think
it proteens to you guys. I'm not sure exactly where
Danny grew up, but I think this would pertain to
Samini for sure. We lived in areas where there wasn't
a pro team in town, so if you were to
go to a game, it would be a three hour,
four hour drive to go to that city to be
(26:10):
able to you know, a more special Yeah. Yeah, so
like it was a really really big deal to be like, Wow,
we're driving to Milwaukee or you know, we're going to
one of those games. That would be a much bigger
deal than that. You know, for my son, the Dodgers
will be in town every night and we can just
drive down the Dodgers Stadium. You know, it's different as
(26:31):
well when you're living in a small town or an
area where there isn't a pro team or college team
to go.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
No, I know it wasn't there yet, but I am
picturing Dan Bayer going down the slide with Bernie the Brewer.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
But I know, I know, I know it wasn't around yet,
but I'm just picturing a little Dan Bayer going down
the slide.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
True story that used to have, like there was a
chalet and Bernie would slide in on a home run
and the balloons would go. I thought they went after
every single run, and I was so disappointed when like
a run scored and he didn't go down the slide
and then balloons would be sent out. But they only
did that during home runs.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
But the same with Shay and Cityfield. As a kid,
I thought anytime something coould happened, the apple would come.
Speaker 3 (27:13):
Up and they're like, no, Richie, only a home run.
I had to wait for, like Daryl Strubberry to be
learning the game.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Yes, yeah, and I saw my kids learning the game,
which is it's all full circle. But Danny, this will
be funny to you mean that you're a Raiders fan.
You talked about your first sport sports memories. You would
think rich is at the eighty six Mets, So the
Niners team that beat the Dolphins, because that's my wheelhouse,
forty nine ers Mets.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
My dad was a gambling man in Stills and he
was in his company's box pool for the Super Bowl,
and I remember my dad bitching and complaining that all
the numbers I got eight and nine these are the
worst numbers because I was a little boy. I was
four or five years old. My dad and he's trying
to explain to me. He was trying to explain to
me a football box pool for the Super Bowl, and
(27:58):
he's like, but they're not good to Richie in nine
trash numbers, Oh damn it, Like he was all mad.
And the Raiders won thirty eight to nine. And I
remember my dad flipping out and being like, oh.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
We're going on a trip. I remember as a little
boy and being my like, Dad's really excited.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Boy. You remember your families reacting to those big moments too,
even though you didn't really know what was going on.
You remember them being excited about it, which made you
feel excited. And yeah, man, looking back, it makes me
feel weird that there's so many people that, as Ron
Parker would say, pooh pooh on sports, when so many
(28:36):
great family moments and foundations to so many great memories
are made that way. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I mean, look at it right now.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Our pals carrying Paul who are stop stop by the
studio to say hi.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
They were at the Rose Bowl because the Gophers played there.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Like families, they trips and they you know they bonded
sports connect.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Yeah, and we've talked about a million times.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
That's the only way sometimes to connect with another dad
at the school.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, exactly. It's great for small talk and for solid
memories and rich no regrets taking your kids yesterday. So
it's getting late early. Let's get into it. Things that
make you.
Speaker 3 (29:11):
Go hmmmm, things that make you go, things that make
you go.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I'm gonna give you one thing to maybe go and
then if you want Covino, let's kick at the damn Bayer.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Think about it. Take everyone's feedback.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
Perfect.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
The first thing is today is steven A. Smith's birthday,
and it's Jared Goff's birthday. What a present Goff gave
stephen A With the Dallas Cowboys getting trounced by.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
The line yesterday Jerry Jones's birthday.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
And let me tell you how many times could they
pan to a sad Jerry Jones?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
Right, I got a sad birthday.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Sad birthday.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
So my observation is, if you're a Dallas Cowboys fan,
you got to be a little confused.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
That's like, yo, where are we right now?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Like not a good spot?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
I mean you have ends, you have good marquee players,
but like, where where do you go?
Speaker 1 (30:04):
Well, technically you're still in the mix. Yeah, I mean right,
but they're not looking good.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Think about it.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
The things that made you go hmmm, NFL playoff, Baseball,
the fight game.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Whatever it was.
Speaker 2 (30:15):
We'll take your feedback next and we'll go over all
of ours. But let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
dB.
Speaker 7 (30:20):
Let's get you an update of what's happening at Dodgers
Stadium in Game two of the National League Championship Series
that you can see right now on Fox. Mets continue
to lead the Dodgers six nothing.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Now.
Speaker 7 (30:29):
On the top of the fifth inning, Mets got off
on the right foot, snapping the dodgers consecutive scoreless inning
streak at thirty three as Francisco Lindor let off the
game of the solo home run. Then, in the second inning,
with bases loaded after the Mets walked or excuse me,
the Dodgers walked Lindor to make the bases loaded with
two Outsmart Fiento's hit a grand slam Mets six Dodgers
(30:51):
nothing in Game two of a series that the Dodgers
lead one game to none. Guardians and Yankees tonight that's
on TBS seven thirty eight Eastern Time. There are reports
that Travis Kelcey and Taylor Swift will be in attendance
of tonight's game one. Anthony Rizzo, by the way, on
the ALCS roster for the Yankees. Now some notes from
the NFL and the forty nine Ers have opened the
practice window for rookie wide receiver Ricky Piersall, as the
(31:15):
first round pick had missed the start of the season
after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest in an
attempted robbery in late August, cold said coach Sheen Steiken
said Anthony Richardson will play in Week seven against the Dolphins,
barring any setbacks from his hip and oblique injury.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Well.
Speaker 7 (31:29):
Dolphins said coach Mike McDaniel said today the plants for
quarterback to at tongue of ailoa to return to action
this season. Texans defensive lineman Mario Edwards Junior suspended four
games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy. Lines defensive
end Aiden Hutchinson at surgery to repair his fractured fibia
and tibia in that suffering. Yesterday's route of Dallas, Kevin
(31:49):
Stefanski sticking with Deshaun Watson as the starting quarterback.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Why not try Jamis as a potential spark that you're
looking for.
Speaker 5 (31:56):
I think it's just important that we continue to do
everything we can to play good SAMD football.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
I think Deshaun gives us the best chance to win.
Speaker 6 (32:05):
Bills and Jets tonight to wrap up a week six.
Speaker 1 (32:08):
Sorry, I just had to.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Chance to win, it said a lot. Panthers beat the
Bruins on the ice for three senators. That's the Kings
at overtime eight seven, and the Utah Hockey Club dealt
their first loss of the season, losing to the Devils
this afternoon.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
Three nothing, guys.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Back to you, you know what I did today, dB,
Being that I felt like my Mets needed to rebound.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
I did a New York parlay.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And remember you could always use code cr show with DraftKings.
I did Mets, Yankees, Islanders, Rangers, Liberty tomorrow and I
did Jets, and then I did another ticket with Bills
because you could argue. You could argue Bills in New
York and the Jets are actually Jersey. That's the big
Apple Apple. Sam's no, what is that the Big Apple?
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Sam? Parlay.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
I I Sam, that's me all right, hey, the things
that made you go hmm, Week six of the NFL,
and of course anything else in the world of sports
will do that. Next right here, Covino on Rich on
Fox Sports Radio, Hank Tight.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
All right, Io Sam playing some old school punk because
he's an old school punk Io Sam, Big Apple, Sam,
we got Danny g we got dB Rich Davis and me,
Steve Cavino Covino on Rich on Fox Sports Radio Live
from the Tyrack dot com studioud our Big banks to.

I was telling my girlfriend's dad that he needs some
of those bad boys because he's in the middle of
(33:52):
nowhere here in Idaho, like in the mountains of Cascade
or something like that. I don't know. I like, you
need some rapid radios, dude. I think you just made
that up the mountains of Cascade. No, I'm serious. I'm
lying from Idaho right now. Everybody else on the West side.
Rich gotta be loving it right now. I hope you're
having a Mark Fiento sort of day because he put
your team on the plus side with a Grand Slam
(34:13):
and a home run from the door. So your Mets
are looking good right now. But like we do Rich
every Monday.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Outside of Mets and Dodgers fans, yeah, I'd imagine the
same way Danny felt last night. I'm feeling now like, oh,
this is a nice lead. I'm not very stressed. Six nothing. Still,
six is not enough against a team like the Dodgers.
But most fans, I'm guessing, like a Dan Bayer who
doesn't have a horse in the race, is thinking, yeah,
two blowouts in Games one and two, Come on, Mets
and Dodgers, give me something exciting.
Speaker 7 (34:39):
What I loved was Rich during one of the innings
again telling Danny g like, hey, your lineup, like basically
patronizing them Steve like it was like it was six
nothing and basically saying your lineup has a chance to
come back when we all know it's over.
Speaker 6 (34:53):
The Dodgers know it's over.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
You know.
Speaker 7 (34:55):
Let men, it was so nice of you Rich to
take Danny G's feelings into account, but it, I mean,
this bad boy is over with.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Most times I would say what I said was bs
and just you know, being nice. But watching the Dodgers
lineup last night, being at Dodger Stadium for real, from
Otani down, it's one of the best line It's like
the night it's like a late nineties Yankees lineup where
you're like, where is the weakest? I saw a lineup
Cavino of the Yankees back then, and you had like
Robbie Cano batting seventh or eighth, like what there are
(35:25):
Sometimes a team's lineup is absurd, and I feel that
way about the Dodgers.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yea.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
The little hope I was holding onto was the Tao
Grand Slam against the Padres because remember the Dodgers isn't
getting blown out in that game, and then you looked
up and it was six to five all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
So again it could still happen, but you guys did
have a couple on and a key spot and the
Mets got out of it. So that's sometimes those moments
you're like, oh, that was the chance to creep back
in a little. But hey we uh knock on wood,
We're only halfway through the steps.
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Let's rich just let it go, you know, yeah.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
One hits no Maximanzi is a bomb, so.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Say oh yeah, shirks.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Leg yeah he us.
Speaker 7 (36:06):
Oh nobody was on though, so it's still a five
run league.
Speaker 1 (36:11):
Was son of a ETOs it like we do every Monday.
Let's get into it. Things that made you go hmmm,
and Rich, I wrote a bunch of things down. They're
not all football related, just a little bit of everything.
Like I know, nobody's gonna say this, I don't want
to take anyone's answer, so by all means, eight seven
seven ninety nine out fox. I did watch the Arthur
(36:33):
better Biev fight versus Dimitri Beevil. Now Bible is the
guy that packed Canelo at one seventy five, right, yeah,
and I thought he won this fight, yet better Bev
won the decision, so he's the undisputed light heavyweight champion.
And we say this all the time after watching a
good competitive fight. But it really baffles my mind to
(36:55):
see how two people could watch the same fight and
have two different, completely different observations, takeaways and opinions on
who won that fight. Well, you know what, because for me,
it was clear as day that Bible won the fight.
But better bev got the decision because he's the aggressor.
Some people see the aggressor as the winner. The aggressor
is not always the winner. Guys, if you're getting punched
(37:16):
in the face every time you're moving forward, you're not
winning the fight. That is true.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
However, there are other things. It depends on. I'm pointing
out the obvious. Sometimes it depends on who you're watching with.
And I give the example, not the name drop, but
Covino and I were in Mexico wants an event and
we watched. We dipped away from an event we were
supposed to be hosting. We went to a local bar
in Mexico to watch Floyd Mayweather Junior take on Oscar
(37:43):
de la Hoya. Yeah, and you would have thought unanimous
Oscar de la Hoya, whoofed his aster, because we were
watching with a bunch of Mexican people in Mexico.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
And you know, I still think he did win. It
was a close fight.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Because every time every time he Oscar got one little
shot and the place erupted. Meanwhile, when Maybweather was working
them the whole time. No one reacted, so it's reaction.
It's also when you don't have the copy box in
front of you and you don't know who's landing what.
There are times where I'm watching a fight and then
I see like, oh, he landed twice the punches. I'm
not seeing that.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
It's the eye test. It's just how people perceive things,
who you're watching, who you're rooting for. And it also
makes me say, hm, that this fight happened and so
many people missed it because it was one of those Yeah,
you might not know their names, but it was a
legitimate fight. But it happened in Saudi Arabia early Saturday,
so a lot of people missed it. So makes you
say him a little bit. Now, how about this man?
(38:40):
The Buccaneers fifty one twenty seven over the Saints. The
Saints scored twenty seven in the second quarter and that
was it. They took the lead in the second so
you're like, wow, man, the Saints are coming back in
this one pretty good, and they couldn't score.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Again after that. The Saints are trash. Baker Mayfield. If listen,
Baker played like three picks In that game, Baker played
great minus a few bad decisions. Take away those Baker
Mayfield interceptions. That game shows you that the Saints are
not very good and you know what, not consistent at all.
What do we talking about early in the season, how
(39:17):
my prediction was the Saints are the worst in the NFL.
And then I looked like a dope like everyone when
they were two and zero. Well what have they done
since that? Haven't won? So are the Saints coming back
to reality? I know they had Rattler and not Derek Carr,
but still the Saints might be mediocause that was one
of the things.
Speaker 1 (39:35):
The second quarter makes me say, like, did the Buccaneers
just you know, step off the gas for a little bit?
They let them back in the game because then they
stopped them the next two quarters after that, but they
look solid. So that made me say, you know what made.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Me go, H, Danny g We all know that the
vikings for five and H. I wish I had someone
from like the Elias Sports pre over here on standby.
I wonder if mathematically, because the NFC North has to
play each other, they will play each other twice each
as you know, does that mean it's impossible for every
team in that division to make the playoffs. And I
(40:08):
say that because as of right now, the Packers Jordan
Love look great this week. Therefore, and two, Caleb Williams
is turning into the guy we thought he was at USC.
They're four and two, four and one the Detroit Lions,
and five and oh, I'm sorry, three in one the
Detroit Lions are because they have the bye week already.
And five and oh, Vikings, is it possible?
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Is it? Four to one? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (40:30):
Four and one.
Speaker 2 (40:31):
Is it possible for all of those teams to make
the postseason mathematically, because again, they still have to all
play each other, which means there's losses in there. But
that's that Division six. So we'll take all your feedback.
