(00:46):
Bellinger to the Yankees story. Yeah, has so many extra layers.

here Danny g super producing. But I'm saying ioa, Sam

(01:52):
Dan Bayer, we got Elijah and Spotty on the videos,
and uh, before we get into Cody Bellinger, before you
get into getting into Week sixteen to the NFL. I
got I gotta find out if I'm jaded or not. Yes,
that was quick. Did you say hated? Oh? Jd jed hated?
Definitely jaded, possible, possible, So I've a thought about the NFL.

(02:18):
But I gotta be honest. We walk into work today
and everyone's being really nice, and every day or so
someone's bringing some type of treats in. It's people just
bringing their leftovers. Now. I don't mind me though, I'm
grateful for it, but be real about it, bro. I
did the same yesterday. I brought a whole tray oh
like chicken palm that was left over for my party.

(02:38):
I don't want these extra holiday cookies staring at me
when I get home, so I'm bringing them into work.
That's really what it is. You know what I'm bringing
in tomorrow? Heads up for everyone? Yeah, someone brought to
my holiday party the cheesecake sampler where it has like
two slices of the strawberry, two stretches of the chocolate.

(02:59):
I wasn't even here. I could probably tell you who
brought that. I saw that in your additional fridge, not
the main fridge. So it's coming in tomorrow, so I'll
be prepared. I'm giving you my courtesy of our friend
Alberto because I believe he brought it last year, so
I'm pretty sure he brought it this year. No thanks,
l Be.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Yeah, what were you doing sam? Poking around in Rich's
extra fridge.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Oh, I don't know, just looking for looking at what
he had in that estra fridge. By the way, I
think I think Iowa Sam had so much Gobba Goal,
so much Gobba Google, so much, so much Italian meat
was in his mouth. WHOA, that's all I'll say, all right, hey, Ridge,
And I wanted to just bring this up because before
we get into uh Josh Allen in the NFL and
you know, where do we see things going getting in?

(03:39):
Like I said, two week sixteen, someone brought in scones
and I felt like Larry David because there was an
episode if you remember, where him and Mocha Joe argued
about the difference between a scone and a muffin. I
barely remember, but I do remember. We love Mocha Joe.

(04:00):
Remember he opened up a spiked coffee shop. Well, i'll
tell you Larry's. But if you remember the old episode
of Curb, take a listen. It's a little soft about
the scone. Yeah, the scone's is supposed to be hard.
This is like a mufflin. Well not really, It's supposed
to be fresh, yeah, fresh hard. Well that's a fresh scone.

(04:23):
I'm not quite sure you know where the scone is,
Munca Joe, Oh, I know what scone is, do you? Yeah?
You might have a looser definition of scone than I do.
I don't think it's really open to interpretation, though. Do
you want the scone or not? Yeah, I'll keep the
scone slash muffling, So you're gonna keep the scone. Yeah,
muffin muffin enjoyed this calling muffing. Now I'm confused because

(04:44):
did someone bring in stale muffins or scones to the office.
And that's my point. I as much as I'm enjoying,
you know, free food in the kitchen is a scone
just a stale muffin?

Speaker 2 (04:54):
No?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
But does anyone opt for the scone? If you go
to an Italian restaurant, are you grabbing? Are you grabbing
the soft bread or are you grabbing that like the
hard ass Italian bread where it's like, oh it it's
hard to chew. No, you're grabbing the soft bread. If
there was a blueberry muffin in the kitchen or this
blueberry scone that it was like there's a brick. There's

(05:15):
a difference.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, a muffin is like chewy treat a scone is
like a dessert biscuit, and I know it's like crumbly
and buttery and a little.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Bit stable like a biscuit. But would you ever opt
for the scone if that's all they had? If that's
all they had? But Danny, would you have a choice.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
I'm going a week. I was just gonna say, Rich,
the harder bread of the Italian restaurant. You're talking about it,
even those you soaked those with the olive oil and vinegaro.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Yeah, no doubt so again, just dumb thoughts here on
Kevino ch. I just felt like Larry David for a
second when I was in the kitchen. You should feel
like Larry David because of your hairline, but I felt
like Larry David. Wow, because you're way closer to Larry
David than me. You both have way more hair than
Larry David.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
David ever did a rich personality and conversation as Larry David's.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Yeah, exactly, thanks, But anyway we can get into the NFL,
it just go no. Because I was like, as I'm
eating the scone, I'm like, you know what, this is
such a Larry David moment. I'm like, oh wait, he
had a fight with Moka Joe about scones, and I
just ask, when you go, it's like your theory when
you go to a drug store or a truck stop

(06:29):
and you look down at the candy row, you're like,
who gets the baby Ruth or something like who? I
always say who gets the Clark Bar? Like how is
that still? Like buys the zagnut? How are these in business? Still?
Who chooses the Abba zaba? Besides Dave Chappelle and he
trust me. I want to make sure I sound grateful
because I'm eating a free scone someone brought in. But

(06:52):
if I were to go to a bakery, or you
were to go to a bakery, you're getting the coffee cake,
You're getting a muffin, a black and white cookie. Some
Italian cookies. There's so many I can't imagine, Like where
does the scone drop to? Like this wouldn't even make
like the top twenty five. We eight p rank them.
I make not even top twenty five. I make a
pretty good scone. Actually, yeah, I don't hate on them
the way you hate on it. I say, it's my choice.

(07:14):
But if we went to their, dude, I'm eating it.
I don't really care that much, especially if it's free.
That's my bottom counter. I'n to make on anything. I
want to make you a scone.

Speaker 4 (07:22):
I make like a good orange cranberry scone this time
of year, with like a little icing orange icing drizzle.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Make your scone. So when I left anything out there
on the counter and it was free to have, I'll
taste a little. Some dude, I'm must of course it's raccoon,
which we'll get to you later on. You'll you'll bury
your face in anything. From what I understand. So if
I if we go to Bees Bakery in Tarzana, just
I'm picking a random good bakery here in southern California.
You really hung up on these scones, man, right, So

(07:50):
go ahead, you go to Bees. If I say, cad,
you know, pick any treat. Calories don't matter. You could
pick out scone would be like the less because it
is probably like an old guy thing. Yeah, you know,
it's like it's hard. You pick chocolate cake, you take
strawberry shortcake, black white cookie, you take two scones, okay,
and a muffin does the scu.

Speaker 4 (08:10):
People probably needs to be dipped to I think a
scone should be toasted with a little bit of butter
and jam, much like a biscuit.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Why does this scone have to be hard, like Larry
David said, Why can't it be soft? A soft scone
seems more appealing. It seems like the top of a
muffet at the muffins. But Noah, muffin has a top,
and it has a bottom. Top of the muffin to
the top of the muffinto you. My muffin top is
all that bonds say, full grain, low fat. So hey, listen,
I'm sorry. I haven't brought it up. I just I

(08:40):
got in my head and I really felt like we
were living out a real Larry David moment. People bring
in there the retreats, Yes, do we know. I don't
know who brought them in, but whoever did is saying, yes,
the last time I bring these ungrateful guys any treats,
I said, I'm thankful. So I'm just saying there, I'll
give you the other one. You said, who buys like
the zag nut unless you are doing it purely for

(09:02):
dietary reasons? Yeah, you go to a Mexican restaurant who's
not taking flour over corn tortilla time yeah, I do,
but for a taco I like it.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah, I was gonna say street tacos.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Choosing one or the other. They wouldn't off for both.
It's like it's the Christmas season. Who's buying all that
ribbon candy? Grandma's Yeah, I do.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Let me give you a story, because everything has a
dumb story on our show. I worked at a cards
and gift store in high school, and this is why
I'm telling you Ribbon Candies is about to go out
of business. No, certain things die with a generation, and
that has to do with technology, that has to do
with you know, types of clothing, food, anything. I hope
those strawberry candies don't die with the older generation. Individually

(09:48):
wrapped ones, you know, individually wrapped strawberry I had one
at Rich's house. I had one. You had some in
the Someone must have put it in a little bag
of treats. Really, that's because Rich is seventy five years old.
They are part of the ginger bread house making. Uh.
There was one in I just grabbed it and had
it. It was delicious. There's no name for those, by the way,
just strawberry candy. Where did grandmas get them from? That's
the mystery, the dollar tree. That's why they sell old

(10:10):
I thought they just I thought they just appeared at
the bottom of their purse. Dude didn't look at Here's
another I worked at the cards and gift store, and
it sounds terrible, but all the old ladies and old
dudes would come in and they would buy their brands
of cigarettes, and they slowly died off, one at a time,
and then all of a sudden, you know, fast forward

(10:30):
a year or so, I'm in high school working at
the store. No one buys Lucky Strike cigarettes anymore, let
alone cigarettes in general, because everyone that ever smoked Lucky
Strikes is dead. They were quite unlucky. I'm just saying,
you go to a bakery, there's gonna give a point
where anyone that ever would have opted for a scone
is dead, so scones will go away. I feel like

(10:51):
you just worked out your opening routine at Laughers this weekend.
Here are Stoney next week, look at look at the clock.
It's time for our first topic. What the deal with? Hey, Rich,
thanks for working at all the kinks on the show. Hey,
no problem, guys. Hey our first art, our first guest

(11:12):
tonight he's from New Jersey. Give it up for Steve Camino.
By the way, how do you feel about uh Stones?
We're okay though, I'll give you that. H let me
let me go. I'm gonna work out on new material.
How do you fel about the drones? Guys? Dron I mean, wow, Benson,
do you believe that they don't know what the drones are?

(11:33):
I don't believe that at all. You can't say that
we're we don't know anything and that we're completely safe
at the same time. Both both can't be true. Iowa, Sam,
either know or you don't. I'm not trying to forcibly
make that want to go back to food for I'm
not trying to forcibly push this into sports. But imagine
if a bunch of drones that no one knew what
they were doing were hovering above a big stadium for

(11:56):
a game. Do you think that would fly? But do
you think that would be allowed? Like imagine would your
Jersey Met Life giants are Jets game if they saw
huge drones. I don't live a met Life. I hate
the Mets. Sorry, continue, Would you believe that that would
be okay? No? No way, no how Because the government

(12:19):
knows these are our drones. They're just not releasing why
we're searching for something, something radioactive, something nuclear where we're
searching these plasmoids. I don't know what we're doing, but
those are ours, and the government's lying to us about that.
That's all I really understand. That's my theory on it.
There's no way they could say we don't know anything

(12:41):
about them. But you guys are completely safe. They know.
They're just not letting us or the public in on it.
There you go, So scones and drones. Did you guys
see that mortgage rates dip slightly? Loans? I just want
to throw loans, scones and drones, scones, shows and loans.
Give it up for Rich Davis, everybody. I would throw

(13:04):
tomatoes and chi I will, you know what. I wanted
to let the Yankee News settle in for Kavino, because
I did want to lead with that today other than scones.
Of course, you did not. You wanted to talk about
scones all day. I think you have a hankering for

(13:24):
some more. Maybe I guarantee you he goes back into
that kitchen and eats the rest of them. He just
hated on him for fifteen minutes. He's gonna eat the rest.
So the big news before we get into show time,
Mahomes Trivia Today, Rex Sports. Connor McGregor's in the news.
There's lots to get to. Yeah. Dan Byer came into
our little kitchen meeting area. He's like, Yo, the Yankees

(13:47):
just got Cody Ballinger. I gave him a Derek Jeter
fist pump. Hell yeah, yeah, Jeetz, that's exciting. I like
that left handed bat in the lineup. Bat's left throws left.
Could play a little first base. The Yankees need first base.
I don't know if you're appreciative enough of what you got. Well,
you got the number one update guy in the world
hand delivering you a message. I think that's amazing. Yeah,

(14:08):
and I'm grateful for that. Actually, because he knew I'd
be excited about it, and he told me. I was like, yes,
because the Yankees are making moves. Here's the silver lining
to losing Sodo. And we lost Sodo. I admit that
los Soto, but it forced the Yankees to make better
moves for the team. So the Max Freed was sort

(14:29):
of a desperation. Got to get him move after losing Sodo,
Devin Williams, Why you let that's nothing to laugh out.
That's another move of strategy. Get rid of nestor Nasty
nestor Gune. You get him and his nasty change up.
Now and Cody Bellinger, who could play some outfield and
some first base, and he has some lineage. I find

(14:51):
that to be charming. I like that part of the story.
But that's not even where we're going. If you guys remember,
most of you probably don't. His dad was Clay Bellinger
of the New York Yankees. Now I'm a Yankees fan,
I don't expect everybody to remember this dude. He was
your quintessential utility guy, you know, average player at best,
and then went on to have a superstar stud of

(15:13):
a son. Yeah. I mean one of those scenarios where
the sun is significantly better than the significantly But I
bet you Cody grew up admiring the pinstripes because that's
where his dad played. And Yankee fans remember Klay Beunger
because it's not like he was a scrub. It's not
like he sucked. He was just one of those utility
guys who you know when he came in, he delivered.

(15:35):
He just wasn't a dominant player by any means, and
now his son is a New York Yankee. I think
there's some pride in that, following in his dad's footsteps
doing maybe what his dad couldn't, becoming a star in
New York City. I think there's a lot of cool
storylines there. But then there's like a little side storyline
I was hearing whispers of as a Yankees fan, is

(15:56):
it a big story? Probably not. But as a Yankees
fan who gets all the social media updates and sees
all this gossip and bossip online, I did hear a
story of Wait a second, is there gonna be any
beef between Cody Bellinger and Gean Carlos Stanton. Why would
there be beef, Cavino, Well, get this in around twenty eighteen,

(16:18):
twenty nineteen. This is a gossip, and I'm not wishing
for any sort of turmoil, and I'm not trying to
be sillacious. I'm just trying to tell you what people
are saying online and how would you feel about it?
According to the legend. According to the story, Jean Carlos Stanton,
one of the most handsome guys in baseball, we could agree, right,
we could put our machismo's side and say, John Carlo
Stanton's a bit of a stud. Even my girlfriend's like, geez,

(16:41):
louis the buns on that guy? And I have to
say he must work out. I mean, he's ripped. The
dude is like from locking pin stripes. Right. My girl
says he has a Frankenstein face. I was about to
say maybe a little too masculine y. Yeah, I was
about to say, like, I don't think Stanton. I think ripped,
and I don't think handsome. I don't think y'all tell
you what according to this article. This article I did

(17:04):
read to prove my theory here says he's deemed one
of the most handsome men in Major League Baseball. Was
on the prow twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen and dated this
woman named Chase Carter. Chase Carter is a Maxim magazine
sports illustrated Behamian bikini model, and I think she's still

(17:26):
in her twenty She's like twenty seven year old, really
good looking woman. So her and Johann Carlos Stanton were
dating for a few years on and off or whatever.
Either way they were associated. I'm sure Jean Carlos Stanton
dated plenty of women, but then Chase Carter around that
time ends up with Cody Bellinger. They're now married and
they have two kids. Now you could say ancient history.

(17:50):
Who cares right? They've all dated each other, all good looking,
rich people. It's not the first time something like this happens.
But would you be willing to put that aside if
there ever was a beef there? I don't know, like
the inner workings of does Cody hate Gean Carlo because
of their past? Did he steal her from Gean Carlo?

(18:10):
I don't know any of that. But what I do
know is they were associated at one point together as photos.
I saw the photos unless they're AI and then she
ended up with Cody Bellinger. So the story was and
now we have to figure out what happens is can
they put those differences aside for the greater good of
the Yankees? They didn't want to let something like that

(18:30):
get in the way of them playing together and winning
together with the Yankees. Seems like it wasn't even an
issue because the deal is done today. But it could
be stick yek yeky, your thoughts there is going to
be so many little childish whispers in the Yankee Clubhouse.
And by the way, that's just one part of the story.
The other par do you think Bellinger's gonna prosper in

(18:54):
the pinstripes because he did slide a little bit last
year with eighteen home runs. He went from twenty six
home runs in twenty twenty three to eighteen last year.
He was little hurt last year, but he went from
three ZHO seven having to look at the guy that
used to leave with his wife, right, right, right, that's
a little awkward, a right, So let's put it in
regular guy terms. You got a new job and you

(19:17):
roll in and now you're working with the guy who
used to date your wife and date you know, you
say date to be kind rich put it in other terms,
you're thinking about Lundberg, what Lundberg used to do? Yep, Right,
So that's a little awkward. Will that get in the way?
Is that something that would bother you? And what do

(19:38):
you think about this Cody Bellinger move? I honestly think
this could be He already had a comeback year, but
I think it could be another comeback year of sorts.
He's still a young player, and I think he could
be a big bat with that short porch at Yankee Stadium. Listen,
you could say maturity will prevail, and they're on the
same team. Professionalism could prevail, right he did? You know

(19:59):
they're already they got kids, different level. But it's not
easy to have to constantly deal with someone you know
was with the woman you ended up with. You you
really ended up. You ended up going on a few
dates with a girl you really liked, and I remember
you couldn't carry on because you got win that I

(20:22):
had hooked up with her. Riches so badly wanted to
mention that because I got with her, I was not
Why would I try to mention that on prey? It
goes along with the story you you did, you couldn't
proceed maybe taking her more serious. Hadn't I known this fact?

(20:44):
I thought it was a character flaw on her part,
so I was like, she's got Yeah. I looked at
it like she's got terrible judgment. So I really can't
really take this further. But yeah, no, that was sort
of a deal breaker for me of sorts, like, yeah,
we could hang, but eh Rich will always have that
army that he used to get with her. Who needs

(21:04):
that that that's not something on you, that's in your
own head. So if you don't think Cody Bellinger is
on the new team being like I'm happily merried kids,
oh they're stant looking him with the stupid muscles used
to sleep at my wife. You're a soft like you
don't think that's come on, They're in their twenties, they're
not as mature as you think. Well your thoughts on that.
It's a big move. We'll get to that plus show

(22:36):
another scone another, one another, one another one some do
to sit us up. We get a lot of great feedback.
But some guy goes, my god, you tour f an annoying,
And I looked at his profile and then I wrote
back to him, you not liking us makes me feel better.
You ever see someone and you're like, you liking me

(22:57):
would make me sad. Yeah, but that's not fair that
I got to take the hit because you want to
do stand up to start off the show. I had
nothing to do with scone talk, nothing to do with it,
although you got me all fired up to munch on
some leftover scones. Holiday scones in the in the lobby.
If it was an observation, what do you want from me?
So it's Covino and Rich. The observation really is, it's

(23:18):
that time of year where everybody brings their leftover holiday
treats to the office. So be care fish. You have
a couple options. It's a slippery soap. This is when
everyone starts getting fat. They go bed, You throw them out,
or you say, you know, honey, bring them to work,
or you know what happens all right, Cody Bellinger before
we start playing games and giving away prizes homes trivia

(23:39):
NFL to get to but Connor McGregor lots to get
to Cody Bellinger's the story right now. I'm a Yankees fan.
I'm pretty excited because we're seeing them make these necessary
moves to sort of compensate for the loss of Juan Soto.
It's forcing them to be more creative and crafty and
make better choices. That's like that, that's the silver lining.

(24:01):
They were sort of forced to work harder here to
create a better team instead of just banking it all
on Soto. So I'm liking what they're doing. It's a
good it's a good move. But you know what, it's
a it's I think the Yankees are making the right moves.
I'm a firm believer in don't make a move just
to make a move. But as of right now, Devin Williams,
you shored up your bullpen with that. Yeah, I mean

(24:24):
Max Freed. Only a hater would say, well, you know
he's you know, a little older, and he's coming off
with surgery. He's one of the best lefties in the league.
You got him so too. May have overpaid, or not
even overpaid. They came maybe a year or two too many.
No salary cap to get the ball rolling in the
right direction after Sodo, I think they had to make

(24:45):
that move. It's like a rich person at a restaurant,
you know that, you know how much a bottle of
wine cost? Who cares? They're rich? No salary cap? Pay
Max fed the hundreds of millions of dollars. It doesn't matter.
And Cody Bellinger it's only twenty nine, former MVP say
already did now in Los Angeles. Of course he dipped
off a little bit, had to come back year in
twenty twenty three. In twenty twenty three, twenty six dongs

(25:10):
whoa and bat at three to ZH seven again. Fell
off a little bit last year. That's almost as many
as that girl that broke a record. But he was
battling one hundred injury. So coming back to New York
has to rejuvenate him, has to get the adrenaline flowing,
as they say, and Rich hates it. Putting on those pinstripes.
Has to breathe new life into this game. I mean

(25:30):
putting on any new uniform. It's not the stupid pinstripes,
but it is when your dad played for him, Rich,
did they put them on like that old Mento's commercial
where the guy sat on the bench bench with the
way remember his dad. A lot of people don't know
it because he wasn't a big star, but his dad
played for the Yankees, and that makes it more prideful.
I'm sure. I'm sure it's a proud day in the
Bellinger family and that's the primary focus here. Congratulations to Bellinger.

(25:54):
I wish him a great season. I think it's a
cool move. I like him in that Yankee lineup. A
solid left handed bat. He could play first base. The
Yankees need that, they need an outfielder. He plays the
outfield I think he's gonna be a great fit and
the fans. The right field porch is very appealing to
left handed power hitters, especially that fly out a lot.

(26:15):
So and they're giving up what potit for him and
eating up the rest of the Cubs contract. Well, let
me give you the number just so you know. Cody
Potit was a three to zero young pitcher for the
Yankees last year. Well, they got Bellinger and the financials
from what I'm understanding, he's owed about fifty mil over
the next couple of years. So the Cubs to entice

(26:38):
the Yankees and make it, you know, more of a
deal that was appealing, they're throwing at about five million
dollars to offset. So you're paying Cody Bellinger in the
low twenties, which I think is fair market value for
a former MVP, a guy that's nine thirty. Yankees get
Bellinger and five million for Cody Potit a right handed

(26:58):
picture on the company. Yeah, meaning five million dollars less
than his contract with the Cubs, which a lot of
people thought was a little inflated. So that's the story.
It's a cool one because you're seeing the Yankees make moves.
But the other fun side of the story based on
gossip and life actually is the fact that Cody Bellinger's

(27:21):
wife used to date Gean Carlos Stanton. Hey, for all
we know, it was nothing serious, but there was photos
taken together. It was within a two year span. I
don't know how serious it was. And for all we
know they're they're all friends. But you yeah, for all
we know, they're the best of friends. Cody Boulinger obviously
has been married to her. They have two kids. It's
probably ancient history, but you know that's going to be

(27:44):
ammunition for other teams and other fans when they come visiting.
Do you know it. People handle these things differently. Let
me ask you. Let me start with Danny. Danny and
his wife, Brenda seemed to be very protective of each other. Danny.
If you out of working at a place and the
other guy you had to work closer with was like, oh, Brenda,
oh man, I used to oh that's your life. Would

(28:08):
that be something that you enjoyed every day working with
a guy that used to do all types of things
to the woman you love?

Speaker 3 (28:14):
No, I might have to take that dude out for
a conversation in the parking line.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I wonder if there is a good but you know,
still stories low. You know, it feels disrespectful a little bit.
I don't want to hear about it. I understand everybody
has a pass and think of all the locker room talk. Yeah,
but you know it just it's just you said before
that I was room talk sounding immature. I did go
out a few times with the girl that dated Rich

(28:39):
for a minute, you don't think in reality, In reality,
Rich is my boy. But if I ended up dating
that girl, seriously, you don't think behind closed doors, he'd
be telling everybody that he used to hook up with her.
You know, Dan, well he would Rich David sinks ships.
He can't keep his big mouth shut. And it wouldn't
be to make me look bad, but it would be

(29:00):
just a little feather in his cap, just to tell
everybody else back in the day. And Rich, I can't
say I would blame you for having the urge to
maybe say that, because it was your truth. It's the truth. Yeah,
but that doesn't make me look or make me feel
any good in that situation. You know what? They got
me thinking about other stories in sports, not not necessarily

(29:22):
players who slept with teammates wives but remember the Yankees
that swapped wives, Yeah, wife and dogs. They swapped wives,
wives and pets.

Speaker 3 (29:31):
Yeah, basically swapped lives they did.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
That was a story from him, I believe, the seventies.
And then remember Jalen Ramsey when he was a first
time like hot shot in the league. He went down
the laundry list of how every quarterback in the NFL sucked,
not realizing that there would be a day where he'd
probably play on one of those teams, which he did famously.
He never played, he never played with him, right, But
then he say, Josh Allen was trash. You know what

(29:57):
could happen though out of this subconsciously a fun sort
of competition amongst each other and they bring out the
best in one another. In that New York Sack Exchange
documentary about Mark Asteneau and the New York Jets, they
talk about how Joe Cleco and Gastineau they hated each other,
hated each other, right, but what it did was brought

(30:20):
out the best in one another because there became then
became a friendly competition amongst teammates. So you don't think
Jean Carlo hits a Stantonian blast. There's a part of Bellinger.
That does feel like, oh man, now I got to
step up and go yard. It could it desper on
a friendly competition. It depends on the maturity level, it

(30:40):
really does. You never want I'm sure ancient history, but
the facts are still there and subconsciously, well, you actually
still want to be better. You act like people are mature,
and you act like young athletes are above like pettiness
and relationships hopefully for your sake and the Yankees taking
their sake. Everything's fine, But don't act like people aren't
in subtle competitions with exes and oh who's with who? Now?

(31:04):
Your ex wife and this guy, and like it doesn't
make you happy that your ex's new dude isn't as
cool as you're like that, that doesn't make you feel good,
of course it does. So again. Cody Bellinger's wife, Beautiful wife,
Beautiful family is twenty seven year old Chase Carter apparently
allegedly supposedly was linked to Jean Carlos Stanton. Remember past,

(31:28):
Remember when your baseball pitcher Marcus Stroman, when he was
with the Mets, he trashed New York and how terrible
the city was, the media, the people, how bad New
York was and then a couple of years later went
to the Cubs, came back to the Yankees, and he
had to do like the whole Yeah, that was like
blown out of proportion, Lego, I love New York. That
he was wearing like an iHeart New York shirt. Get

(31:49):
out of here. I will wish Cody Bellinger the best.
Welcome to the New York Yankees. We gotta go to
Dan Byle with an update, Dan Buyer, do you think
when they do like a tor of the facility in stadium?
John Carlo winks at Bellinger's wife. I'd hope not. I
would hope that would not happen. I hope it is

(32:09):
an awkward part of the story that I wish didn't
exist for the Yankee sake. But I know a lot
of fans will be talking about that.

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Mart, you are spun on in terms of maturity. That's it,
truly is can you get past it or can't you?
And if you can, you're likely mature enough to do so.
You guys talked about the big deal in baseball today,
a lot happening in the NFL. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes
actually fully practiced today. Now A light workout for the

(32:37):
Chiefs and Edgar Chandy. Reid said that they're going to
go light this entire week because of the cram schedule
that they have with Week sixteen on Saturday and then
week seventeen on Christmas Day. But Mahomes dealing with that
high ankle sprain, considered day to day but was listed
as a full participant on the team's injury report. As
for other quarterbacking news, Falcons said coach Rahim Morris says

(32:59):
that they are still going through the process of determining
if Kirk Cousins will start in Week sixteen against the Giants.
Asked today if Cousins would be their starter next weekend,
he said, yeah, They're still dealing with last night's win
and going through it, but not necessarily a vote of
confidence for Kirk Cousins. No practice today for Steelers defensive
end TJ. Watt and wide receiver George Pickens, who's got

(33:21):
that hamstring injury. In the ESPN says Mason Rudolph is
going to start at quarterback in Week sixteen for the
Titans against the Colts. Well, the Browns are making a change.
Orange and Brown report saying that Dorian Thompson Robinson will
be their starting quarterback in Week sixteen against the Bengals.
They're replacing Jamis Winston. Flex scheduling coming to the NFL
in Week seventeen. Out are the Dolphins and Browns on

(33:42):
Sunday Night, in are the Falcons and Commanders, while the Saturday,
December twenty eighth schedule in Week seventeen has been sep
starts with the Chargers and Patriots, then the Broncos at
the Bengals, followed by the Cardinals at the Rams. Finally
Guys NBA Cup Final Tonight Thunder and Bucks eight thirty
Eastern time. Chris Middleton doubtful for that game in Vegas
for Milwaukee, and the new format for the All Star

(34:03):
Game has been approved. It's the four teams playing in
the bracket style format in a total of three games.
The eight player teams will be drafted by Shaquille O'Neil,
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

Speaker 1 (34:13):
Guys, back to you, Thank you d me. So we're
live from the tyrack dot Com studio Covino and Rich
And like Dan Byer said, I think maturity plays a
major part with this Belenger Stanton situation, and it makes
me think of Patty Boyd. You know who Patty Boyd is,

(34:34):
Patty Boyd. She divorced George Harrison in nineteen seventy seven,
only to marry his best friend, Eric Clapton in seventy nine. Wow,
and you know she went between both of them back
and forth, and they still remained the best of buds.
So let's see if Stanton and Balinger but differences aside,

(34:57):
even though there might not be any at all, we
don't know. Together, let's go, well, Hey, we got a
bunch to get to. We're gonna do Mahomes Showtime, Trivia, Showtime, Mahomes.
I want to talk some NFC North and some NFC
number one seed because we got three teams at twelve
and two. How does the final three games shake out
for the elite of the NFC. We'll get to that

(35:19):
and a bunch more Cavino and Rich right here on

(37:01):
interestingly enough, speaking of AI, AI is entering the sports
world this weekend, we'll go over that later. It is
in the world of boxing. We'll explain. Cavino and Rich
live from the tire rack dot Com studio. Happy holidays
from our dysfunctional Fox Sports Radio family to yours, And man,

(37:23):
I hope you're han't a Cody Bellinger sort of day,
A Vikings Falcons sort of day. Did you like those
games last night? Rich? Very uh, very little. I'm telling
you this week we got some good ones, but I
thought the last two weeks were lackluster. But if you
look at this coming week schedule, the final couple weeks,
we'll be we'll be telling as far as division winners,

(37:46):
playoff seating and stuff like that. But this past weekend
and the weekend before we had a little lull. I
thought it was perfect timing too. You could do some
holiday shopping, do other stuff. But honestly, last night, what
were you really watching? The Vikings whoop some ass and
the Falcons win just because the other team's stunk more.
I don't know what it is I had the games on,
but after that I tried to watching other stuff. I

(38:08):
just can't focus anymore. I have no ability to focus
on even hot making. Fox as a robot couldn't get
my attention. You don't want a robot for Christmas? No,
I just keep looking at my phone. In the second
I start looking at my phone, I'm like, I guess
I'm bored with this show. It's really it. I started
watching season two of Silo on Apple TV. Damn good show.
Silo is good. Danny g you know what I have

(38:28):
not started yet, shrinking? Oh yeah, that's not what your
wife said. Man. Wow, man, you guys making fun of
my stone conversation.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Yeah, it's like you guys are trading off with your
stand up routine.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
Come on, he said, you know what I haven't started yet, shrinking?
Come on anyway, Yeah you gotta laugh out of Sam.
I guess that's all that counts. And a rim shot,
you know you know what? Anyway? So rim shot? I yeah,
we heard that. We heard the first part. So geez,
play one on yourself right now. NFC NFC, yes, oh

(39:15):
you could go either way with that. I guess all right,
the NFC North let's talk NFC North for a second,
and the NFC Elite as we currently sit in the
studio on December seventeenth, the day the Simpsons debuted in
nineteen eighty nine, December seventeenth on the Tracy Oemens Show,
or a stand standalone stand like Fox Sunday, and I

(39:39):
remember was like Married with Children Simpsons, that whole deal
on this day, nineteen eighty nine, So thirty five years
ago the Simpsons debuted. Now there's three teams that are
twelve and two, the Lions, the Vikings and the Eagles.
Oh my, and as of right now, there's you know,

(40:00):
percentages in Vegas of who will be the one seed.
The Lions of the heavy favor to get that one
seed at fifty four percent, the Eagles at thirty percent,
and the Vikings at sixteen percent. As you know, the
one seed gets the buy everyone else has to play
Opening Weekend. We're gone of the days because of the
seventh seed, gone of the days of two teams getting

(40:21):
a buye Everyone's gonna play Wildcard Weekend, the Super Wildcard
Weekend as they've called it the last couple years. One
team gets a buy likely the Chiefs in the AFC
in the NFC. It's a three headed race right now.
I don't know how we're so sure, you know, Oh,
it's gonna be the Lions. They've suffered some key injuries.
Let me give you the tail of the tape. Neither

(40:43):
team is dominant at home or on the road. All
three have a home loss. Lions six and two at home,
Viking seven and one at home, Eagles six and one
at home. They've all scored ballpark same amount of points scored,
Lions a bit more. Their defense is all on the
same area as far as points allowed, so there's no
like runaway while they have they're the one seed. Let

(41:06):
me give you the final three games for each and
let's see where we think these three teams. Did you
mention the Vikings are three and one in their division? Yep,
But let me tell you they have a lot more
damage to be done in that division. So here's what
I want to do when we come back. Let's go
over the final three games and let's assess where we

(41:27):
think these three teams will be. One will be a
one seed with a buy, and one's gonna be a
three seed. I'm sure one's gonna be a wildcard, and
one's gonna be a two seed, so we'll get to
all that next NFC playoff picture, and of course AI
in Sports Jerry Jone eating raccoons. Well, get to a
bunch coming up, CE and r
