Did you finish Perfect Match season til?
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I have to watch it led them. I'm like in
the last episode, waiting for the reunion. Now, yo, bro,
you want to hear some s? Bro some s. Every
time I'm picking out a new show to watch. Every time,
I give the courtesy, like when you hit three points
back in the day, you get the courtesy. And I'll
ask my girlfriend, Hey, I want to watch the show
any interest? I always ask her. The kind thing is
(01:36):
the kind courtesy? Hey, before I watch this show because
I'm on a business trip or I'm traveling, I'm gonna
watch this without you. Cool. I came back from Jersey
because I was on the East Coast last week, and
I'm like, you know what, let's watch this Perfect Match show.
She's like, I'm sorry, are you watched it? Way? You
were gone?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Part?
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Dude? Where's the courtesy? You know? My point? Rich courtesy
is a two way street. Yeah, proceed with the bor.
You had a three pointer, she didn't give you the ball,
give me any courtesy. You had a three porters, you
grabbed the basketball, went for a lamp. YEA, how come
I'm playing by the rules? What gives? Yeah? Is that
(02:21):
every relationship? I mean, I think you just described it perfectly.
Women take advantage, meaning like we're not because we're men,
we're not supposed to care about these things. Well, meanwhile,
I'm like, how come I got to play back it?
If it's a serious show or like a good drama
that we're excited about, you don't watch without the other person.
And then you do have your trash reality shows that
you and your wife, your girlfriend Bondo, were like, oh,
(02:43):
let's watch the Bachelor, like you get your talking if
she does that without you, she watched it without me.
You gotta even pretend to be mad because she would
be mad if you did that. She failed the test,
she failed the Mario test. She watched out me, didn't
even ask. That's That's where I tell. When I'm like
recording stuff for doing some work related, that's when I'm like,
watch Bridgerton, watch one of your shows. That like, I'm
going to give everyone when I get home. I'm giving
(03:05):
her the business. She's like, what's the matter. I'm like nothing,
it's like something wrong. No, I'm fine. I'm just saying
to give her a business. I'm going to act like
women do when I get home. So anyway, maybe you'll
earn yourself a little African. I know it's the most
viral thing. I get it. Hey, Yo, question for you.
I need. I need everyone in the room to participate
(03:26):
because I feel as though I am rightfully so jaded,
I am not a fair person to ask because it
seems to be happening to my Mets over and over again.
They got sticky fingers. Sticky fingers goes back like a
year when Max Sureser before he got traded and by
the way he made his debut. I believe over the
(03:47):
weekend correct Max Sureser got popped for sticky hands, and
now he's having a rough year to begin with and
he's finally trying to get back on track. Break out
the trumpets for Edwin Diaz. He goes into the game yesterday,
non safe situation, trying to close it out for the Mets. Actually,
(04:08):
I think it was a safe situation five to two,
and before the inning even starts, they do the whole
like let me see your hands, and they do a
pretty thorough examination, and then you see the umpire do
the little toss of the finger like yeah, you know
what that's like. That's like when your significant other, it's like,
(04:29):
give me your phone. What do you mean give me
your phone? What do you mean not let me see
your thumb's not getting nervous feeling, like why you want
to go looking through it or something while you still
looking at my glove. Give me get it my glove back.
That's how That's how he looked to me, that that
look of fear, like oh no. But in Edwin Diaz's defense,
(04:50):
hand over your phone now. He talked about this after
the game, and I mean, again, I'm a Mets fan,
so I believe him.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
I just say, I use say thing always rock rossing
sweat and I put my hand on the dirt a
little bit because I need to grab had some grive
on the ball. So that's what I was planning to them,
but they said what you must steak. I understood. But
at the end of the day, I was using rug
rossing sweat and put my hand on the dirt.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, but there was a close up of his hand
and it looked extra sticky, sticky icky. What I'm saying
if if Edwin Diaz is saying, yo, I use rosin, sweat, dirt,
which is all things that are legal in baseball. He's
playing by the rules of deny it till you die.
But see there you go saying he's what do you
think he's got a crazy go You know, yes, spider tag,
(05:41):
he's got something. But if he's saying rosin, sweat and dirt,
here's the thing in syrup and maple syrup and some
manchumnus are sticky hands a crime to you? Let me
explain when someone gets popped for gambling or p or
the astros got caught red handed stealing signs, that's different
(06:06):
than something subjective. There's a difference between subjective and not.
One umpire could say, no, let me see your hand,
that's fine. Another umpire could say, not too much. Do
you judge a guy's legacy and a guy's ethics and
(06:26):
sports based Why are you questioning the ethics of the umpire?
Kara Paza says it definitely wasn't rosin and sweat he
told reporters. We've checked thousands of these, and I know
what that feeling is. This is very sticky, without question,
it was way too sticky. It didn't take me very
(06:46):
long to figure this out. It's a heat wave, dude,
So maybe it's a little stickier and muggier and grosser
than usual because of the heat wave. But you're undermining
the expertise and the knowledge of this umpire to know
the difference. You know, I think he's a cheap I
think you are jaded that your boy, who they make
this grand entrance over, was cheating the whole time. But
(07:08):
you want to compare him to marry Anna RIVERA get
out of my face with this guy subjective calls. Let's
not subjected, it is let's go back to our childhood,
you bozo. Is George Brett a Hall of Famer or
a cheater to you because the pine tar was a
little too high? Like these are subjective? This is like
again up to the person. I don't put Brett, George
(07:30):
Brett in this conversation at all as a one time
thing was just a little one time. Yeahs were stickier too,
They're kind of you know what. I can't wait for
you to eat your words when they take this glove
back and investigate and find out he does have syrup syrup.
There's a little hottua in there something. I don't know
what's in there. Iye hop boyson, Mary, Yeah, I don't
know what's in there, but I can't wait till you
(07:52):
find out that, yeah, he was up to something. If
you're gonna say, hey, come on, you know because we
did find out when Garrett Cole and all these other
people got caught. The spider tackle all the other stuff.
It's common in baseball. It's common. It's just unspoken, but
everybody knows, and everyone that plays knows that they use
a little side. So let me get that extra grip.
Let me not understood, that's fine. Let me but pretend
(08:15):
like he's completely innocent. By the way, if you believe
in body language and a sense, dude wasn't even making
eye contact with Anybody's nervous. He looks so nervous when
you got nothing to hide, you're not your day. You
went up to it, no question. What would you say?
Is a really good underrated Leslie Nielsen movie The Wrongfully Accused,
Oh yes, wrongfully accused? Edwin Diaz did nothing wrong. Witch hunt.
(08:38):
They're going after him. Why I don't know, because that's
because the mets are hot and they're trying to simmer
them down. I feel like you're just reaching at this point.
Let me give you a think that your guy. I'll
give you a relationship analogy. Because you want your bibblehead
to keep his value, all right, I'll give you a
relationship analogy. And I don't have the Timmy Trump with bubblehead.
I wish I did. The relationship analogy would be Rich
(09:00):
is asking do you judge guys? Do you judge? Do
you judge the suspension is ten games? Well, he's a reliever,
so he probably would have pitched. Maybe he's a closer. Yeah,
you don't know. He would have been in there maybe
four games, So a ten game suspension. Do you judge
this guy on? Something Rich is saying is subjective? When
(09:20):
I'm sure they'll get more details from this. So the question,
are sticky hands a crime to you? Alla? Dude? If
Ryan Garcia is suspended for a year because this supplement
drug test, it's this proof. Yeah, but again, he didn't
do anything to his knowledge that was wrong. He was
taking supplements. I'm saying If they're going to suspend him
for a year because of that, and people now have
(09:43):
this belief that he's a cheater of some sorts, then yeah,
I think this dude is cheating because he intentionally did it.
That's the difference. Ryan didn't intentionally do anything, you believe,
Ryan Garcia, No, because they tested the supplements you boso,
So this it was intentionally done. There's a difference between subjective,
and there's a difference between intentional and non intention Well,
(10:04):
hold on, all right, Let's say you're in a relationship,
you're dating, or you have a wife. Right, if you
go it's what if you have a wife and or
a girlfriend or both. If you have a wife, or
you're in a serious relationship with a girlfriend, If you're
going around town getting hocktailis from everyone in sight, or
(10:25):
you're if you get caught kissing a girl at a bar,
or you you get caught red handed in bed with someone,
you're cheating. Flirting is subjective. You were all Was I
really all over her? The like that's for you to decide. Subjective, dude,
I was just talking to that girl. Looks like you
are all over her to you. To me, it's objective.
(10:48):
Because rules are rules, and it's what rules a you're
playing by. These are the Empires rules. These are majorly
Baseball's rules decisions. Uh, Cara Paza, Jerry Demental. What's his name, yeah, Carapasa, Carapasa.
So because Carapaza thinks that this guy's got stickier fingers
(11:10):
than he feels comfortable, he suspended ten games. But Caraposa
the crew chief, So you're undermining VIC. Look at some gobble.
This guy sounds like it's a Tony Soprise. I know
crime when I see this guy. This guy knows freshmill toadel.
He doesn't know sticky fingers. How do you know what
(11:30):
he knows? Has a pasa?
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I think I grew up in that guy on Long Island.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
With all due respect, I mean rich, I can't believe
if you're I can't believe you're defriending this guy. I
knows your boy and all. What do you think? And
my point was I didn't even get to it, Like
it depends who's making that call, because cheating to a
woman could be liking another woman's social media parently, it
(11:54):
depends on that woman. That's nonsense. That's not no, because
you're nonsense. We grew up in a time. Would you
ever be with a woman that's like you, like the
photo where you're cheating like fifty five year old guy,
I'm not even close to it because young people view
that as cheating young people.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
I didn't grow up that way. I'm just telling you
those are the rules. So it depends whose rules you're
playing by. And these happen to be majorly coming from
a guy in the two thousands that seriously would say
the phrase, it's not cheating if you keep your socks on.
Those are the rules I played by. Those are the
rules I play by. The rules are different now. My
favorite was no ring on the finger. The can linger.
(12:34):
Yeah that was no ring on the finger. My junk
could linger. That was a great rule. But those are
But I'm not playing by those rules. Rule if it's
a different air code, it's not cheating. Is again rules
I used to play by. Don't play by those rules anymore.
Edwindy has used to play by different rules. What you're saying,
I remember you want saying if she can't find me
(12:55):
on social media, it's not cheating, stupid, that's not even rhyme.
But Rich is saying, do you judge, why do you think.
Speaker 4 (13:06):
About the opposition Rich if they did this? So if
your match are playing my Dodgers, I would think Evan
Phillips had stick to sticky of a hand or glove,
you know what I remember, Danny, I don't think you
would disagree with that, right, there's a fine line because
you want pictures to have control. We've talked about this
on the show before. You don't want them beating batters
in the head because the ball slips out.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And I would play along and be like, ha, your
guy got popped that I'd laugh at him, be like, oh,
ten games. But I don't think if that guy was
a like All star or I guess you would say
star player, I don't think I would. I don't think
the stigma would stick with them, if that makes sense.
This is not a ped got popped for something serious.
I think I think it depends. Man, those those are
lasting images. If you're a kid, you'll always remember Edwin
(13:47):
Diaz got nad because when you're a kid, you don't
have that many memories and references, and those things stand out.
I'll give you an example. I remember watching WPIX Channel eleven,
New York City, Joe Nikro. They go to the mouth
and he's like, whoa, I'm an old guy. I'm innocent.
I'm one hundred and five. Joe like umpires like, hey
get here, come here, old guy, Joe, Hey empty your pockets,
(14:07):
and he threw out some werthers. He threw out I
don't know about rabbit's foot, little peppermint, yeah, a mint,
and then he threw out a nail file. Now, as
a kid, I'm like, yo, Joe Nero is a cheater.
And I never forgot that because I was little. So
if you ask some kid ten years from now, you're
gonna say, yeah, Edwin Diaz is a cheater, and that's
it because those are the rules. These kids know. Those
(14:29):
are the rules that they're playing by. Now, doesn't matter
what you think, what do you have to do with it?
These are the rules. Well, clearly I can't convince you otherwise.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
I did look up the Joe Nico incident that you
brought up, and in his defense in trying to explain
his innocence, yes, he did say that he left he
was filing his nails in the dugout and left it
in his pocket.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Likely story making a dance. It sounds eight after the game.
I want to make sure his manicure is all nice.
It happened to be his tony. A lot of people
don't know that. Yeah, getting caught on a song man.
But still like, I'll never forget that. I do remember that,
but that was because we were also remember from Wonder
Wolfe's Plays of the Year. But you remember those things, dude.
(15:17):
You remember who had a cork bat? You saw it explode,
you know, So this is like not that big of
a deal to you because you've seen a lot. Ask
a younger, dude, They're always gonna remember. Yeah, Garrett calls
a cheater, the Astros are cheaters. Edwin Diaz is a
cheater because these are their memories.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
I do think that Rich's point ab out it being
subjective is interesting though, but I think that they would
err on the side of they would let things slide
unless they saw something that was just way too egregious. Yeah,
that would be That would be my sense of it.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It's awkward though, right the umpires like, yeah, likely story, buddy,
hand over the gloves. It's like they're investigators, you know what.
It's so weird. Now I have a question. I don't
know what you know what it's like, Rich, It's like
when you were in middle school or high school and
the teachers like, give me the note. You're like, oh,
I'm caught. Oh man, I'm gonna read this in front
(16:13):
of the whole class. Oh no, that's basically what the
umpires do in the middle of the game, hand over
your glove. Ed, when you're nabbed and you're like, oh,
everybody's watching this, embarrassing dude. And when Diaz cheater unless
unless somehow they prove it otherwise, and you know what,
that's not fair. Let's say he wasn't went by the way,
I'd go great lengths to be like, yo, you guys
(16:34):
are crazy. Let me prove it to you, send my
glove to the lab and everything else. If you were
in school and the teacher said, hand over the note.
I'm reading it in front of the class. If it
was too much, would you eat the note? Like put
yourself as like a teenager, imagine you had you had
some stuff that would like ruin your reputation or totally
like put you out there too much with a girl
(16:56):
or something like, would you be like, oh no, I
just eat the So what are you saying, Edwin should
have did something like that. I imagine if he didn't
give his glove up. No, I have a question, he refused,
like justin Timberlake, Like, nah, justin Timberlake. This is gonna
ruin the tour. What tour? The world to world, the
world to the world. Let me ask you this to
(17:16):
wrap it up. Edwin Diez got pop ten game suspension
sticky fingers. If they do, I don't know the thoroughness,
if that's even a word of the investigation moving forward.
He accepts the ten game suspension, that might be it
now if they do look at the glove Covino and
it is actually just excessive rosin sweat and dirt and
there is no other substance and it really is just
(17:38):
you know, you you push the limits there, buddy with
the rosin. Did that make you look at it differently
or no? Yeah, but I think they should. Then his
name should be cleared. Yeah, And I was thinking about
it too. It's like there's got to be so many ways,
like maybe he's a hair product he could blame it
on or something, right, Like, there's so many ways on it. Yeah,
like you know, maybe he was using something different from
(17:58):
suavest sit though that got mixed up in thereo hair pace.
It was one of the hottest weekends ever. Yeah, you know,
you're just combing your fingers through your hair. Get it
on there. I don't know. It was an accident. So
that was the story over the weekend. But the question
to you Fox Sports Radio Nation, and I pleaded my side,
like I never forget this stuff, so me personally, I
(18:22):
remember all those things. But rich is saying, do you
judge you deem this dude as a cheater in your mind? Now? Ah,
I think it's a little it's you know, I think
we've just him flirting heavily with a girl and not
really cheating, if that makes sense. There's my analogy. What
Edwin Diaz did was Richard goes back to when he
was hangings Arcus. This doesn't prove that this is the
first time he's done it. It just proves that this
(18:45):
is the first time he got caught. But again, this
is like a guy flirting and hanging and being a
little too close to a woman, but he doesn't cheat,
but his wife would not be pleased. It's like on
your favorite show, Danny Perfect Match, that big handsome lug Harry.
He wouldn't do all those things in front of his girl.
(19:05):
But did he cheat? Like you don't know. It's like
it like you're crossing lines. But is it cheating? I
don't know. And I think that's the analogy. I'll use it.
My my dude, Edwin Diaz. Edwin Diaz caught over the weekend.
What's up, d Big?
Speaker 5 (19:20):
Hit it hit it if you can, Ryan hit it,
breaking news, hit it hit breaking news, breaking news.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Button, breaking news from Fox Sport.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Major League Baseball is suspended Edwin Diaz ten games for
violating the league's rules on doctoring baseball.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Just in and they found, uh, they found strawberry jam
on his baseball. I mean ten games when the Mets
are hot and they're trying to get their star closer
back back.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Feel uncomfortable, but Rich, this means they had solid evidence.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Yeah hmmm, so now what, Well, they don't overturn it.
They've never overturned one of these, so I think once
they do it, it's done. So do I think he's
the worst guy ever? No? Okay, good? But do I
think that this is something that's going to stick with him?
Put intended. Listen to his voice, Tell me if you
believe him? One more time and then we'll move on. Dude,
(20:20):
look at his body language. It's even more like obvious
that he's lying. He doesn't look at the camera once.
If I was in a i'd make eye contacted the camera. Hey,
Fox Sports Radio Nation, Ahmacin. That's you don't want that
reputation as a competitor that even when someone's innocent, don't
they always tell you like you should still get a lawyer.
(20:41):
He'll listen to his voice one more time. Tell me
if this sounds like a guy that's been that's a
little nervous because he feels like he's been done wrong.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
I just say I use the same thing always rock
rossing sweat, and I put my hand on the there
a little bit because I need to rest some green
on the ball. So that's what I was planning to them.
But they say what you must stake. I understood. But
at the end of the day, I was using rug
ross and sweat and put my hand on the there.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
He's accepting responsibility but saying all I had was rosin,
dirt and sweat. I believe you edwin. You could say
accepting yourself ability or you can say lying. Uh, you
make the call. It seems like they already did. Thank
you guys for hearing out both sides. I rest my case,
Edwin Diaz, do you think he's a cheater? Do you judge?
He suspended ten days, got ten games. And we'll take
(21:31):

I remember watching it because you know what it is.
You hyped it up so much and I finally watched
it and I hated it. But it's getting so hot.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
How hot is it?
Speaker 1 (25:09):
You need to cool off? You need to see in
our swiggy right. And usually we play trivia and we
make you a fight to win, but since we're in
a giving mood and we want you to stay cool,
like that kid in your middle school year book told
you to stay cool, good luck next year, and stay
cool cool, and we want you to stay higher hydrated,
(25:30):
not like my dad who refuses to drink water. I
don't lack water. Yeah, it's one hundred degrees. I don't
like the taste. Yeah, but the doctor says, if you
don't drink water, you're gonna die. Yeah, I don't. I
don't like water. Come on, dad, for the family, please
tasteless because we want you to stay hiding. Yeah I
did Canada dry. I had to sell to it. What
do you mean water? Get on those little squirt things
(25:53):
that flavor the water, yeah, my dad don't do it. Man.
My dad's like stubborn as hell. So we want you
to stay. We want you to stay hydrated. We want
to give back as our way of saying thanks. Get

c in our swiggies, so want to do that right

Wan Copa America. Columbia has just scored against Paraguay right now,
one mil in the thirty third minute.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Busy day for soccer.
Speaker 5 (26:29):
Earlier, Spain beat Albania and Euro twenty twenty four to
one nil. That wasn't a huge deal because Spain had
already advanced to the Round of sixteen, but Italy and
Croatia had a lot to play for in their match,
which is seconds remaining in stoppage time. The Italians pulled
even with Croatia tying the match up at one apiece.
That allowed Italy to advance to the knockout stage. So
(26:50):
out of Group B, Spain and Italy are moving on.
Killian and Bape expected to play tomorrow for France in
their match against Poland. Jj Reddick is the new head
coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. He was introduced today

long time. I am excommunicated from the content space, so
there would be no podcasts.

No more him and Lebron sitting down and talking as
they now will be working on leading it the Lakers
to a championship. ESPN reports the Timberwolves have given head
coach Chris Finch a four year extension that goes through
the twenty twenty seven to twenty eight season. Earlier today,

Cool. Thank you, DANNYG. Now tonight Kavino here, got my
own mail A Game seven. Even if you're not a
big hockey fan, Even if you're not, how are you
not putting this on in the background? Got it on?
I can't wait. I look forward to it. Have it? Huh,
(34:01):
I'll be scrolling on my phone, I'm sure, but but
I have it on. I just like the fact that
I know the stakes are high and we could see
a legendary comeback, and that that is intriguing to any
sports fan. Do you like to see, no matter who
the team is, do you like to see a team
hoist the trophy, whether it's whether it's the Lombardi Trophy, NBA,
(34:26):
Major League Baseball, whatever it is. I feel like if
it's the Game seven, or the final game, or a
clinching game, I always feel like even if you're not
interested in the team. Like, but it's such a celebration, Rich,
as they used to say on ABC's Wide World of Sports,
it's the through Olympic three and the agony of defeat.
You just this is it tonight. So I don't need
to be a hockey fan who appreciate that. I'm tuning
(34:50):
in to see that. I want to see the reactions.
I want to see the comeback or maybe not. Maybe
Oh they keep so close. So hey, your thoughts on tonight.
We'll take your feedback. We got more Covino and Rich

(36:17):
some great improv right there. Copino and Rich on Fox
Sports Radio, tere you you know, know Edwin Diaz. You
don't know if you just had pancakes for breakfast and
little fingers maybe I mean like I said, or maybe
he was using Hans de Fuco. Some hair product got
got a little swab act got caught in there, maybe
some lay right, got some La looks who knows, man,
(36:39):
but remember La looks stavy g back of the day.
Of course, Yeah, he should have thought on his feet
and fast hair product. So you see, I was using
a Paul Mitchell and maybe perhaps I got some of
my fingers. I don't know. I mean I believe in
a little rosin, little sweat, little dirt. But hey, your
thoughts on Edwin Diaz, your thoughts on Hawked to a Girl,
(36:59):
your thoughts on Kelsey's wild weekend, your thoughts on anything.
We love to interact So at covide on Rich as
we came off, why don't we open it up to
your thoughts on Game seven? Because Rich and I never
faked the funk. We're not big hockey fans. We're just not.
Of course, we tune into the big game. So we'll
be watching tonight. But if there's something you're looking out for, look,
(37:21):
I'm looking personally for a good game. I'm trying to
get you hyped for it. If you're a casual fan
like me, here's two things got hype for on your
Monday night Game seven. Conor McDavid instant legend. They're saying,
if they pull this off tonight, for the oilers, I'll
be looking for oiler girls somewhere while watching HOWK to Eclipse,
(37:41):
you can look for oiler girl. You're gonna find Warren
Moon oiler God no, no no, and I'll be watching clipped.
I didn't know there was a new episode tonight, danyg
So I'm pumped about that. So again, things to look
forward to later on today and something else we said earlier.
Dan Buyer said the College World Series Texas A and
m kanna see our buddy. Robin san Antonio said, get
(38:02):
pumped up man, Game three winner take all The Aggies
in all three major college sports football basketball baseball have
not won a national championship since nineteen thirty nine. Eighty
Your boy, Both of your boys. Jeff Kent's son went
yard for a big win over the week Ken Sun
get picked off and Jeff Kent did like the ultimate
(38:23):
like dugout dad, like pointing at his head like fund mo. Yeah,
like his reacts that when Viray were sort of interesting
over the weekend. Jeff Kent's still rocking the sweet mustage.
He's got that weak ass mustache for sure. But yeah,
Connor McDavid, I've been looking this guy up again because
he's the talk of the town right now. Been playing
since twenty fifteen. He's got nine years in the league,
(38:45):
all with the Oilers. Three hundred and thirty five career goals.
He's having himself a series. They're coming back to pull
off a huge one of the biggest comebacks in Stanley
Cup Finals history, in hockey history. So if that happens again,
only nine years in the league. But if he does this,
(39:06):
does he achieve Hall of Fame legend status as a result. Well,
I mean, I don't know enough about this guy, or
hockey or anything to be honest, but I will say this,
these moments, I always think to myself, there are moments
that not wasted right, but like there are times where
(39:27):
someone has an amazing game and a losing effort and
if their team would have won, they would have went
down in history. It's like the guy, or like what
a game or the game? Like, Well, in hockey, we
know Gretzky's the guy. He's the great one. You know what?
His nickname is Connor McDavid according to Hockey Reference. I
didn't know this. He's the chosen one. He's also the Crane,
(39:50):
and he's also Davo and Mick Jesus. He's got a
lot of nicknames. He's like Apollo Creed. Yeah, a lot
of nicknames. But no, I just I think for not
only Edmonton, for Canada, for this guy's legacy, it would
be a cool story coming back down three to zero.
What a story.
Speaker 4 (40:10):
But because of the long drought for Canada, he would
be living legend immediately and one stat hopefully in Canada's favor.
Road teams have won three straight game sevens in the
Stanley Cup Final. Home teams are twelve and five all time, though, and.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
He's still relatively young nine years in the league. He's
twenty seven years old, so he's going to be living
with his legendary status for a long while. So hey,
if they pull this off, wishing them luck. I will
say though, that those moments that gets set up like
I always feel like it's interesting, Like some guy hits
like the go ahead RBI double and if nothing else
(40:46):
would happen, he'd be the hero hm and the other
team hits a walk off and his moment is lost.
Like I always reference the Endie Chavez for the Mets,
like greatest postseason catch you could argue of all time,
leaping over the fence, but the Mets lose. So it's
the corniest for friends, But the one that comes to
mind for me and I use it all the time.
Is that Jerry Seinfeld stand up bit and he talks
about like Olympic races and he goes first place, greatest
(41:11):
guy in the world, second place. Never heard of him?
You know you won buy a nose from here to
here from from dinner that the greatest guy in the world.
Never heard of him. I'm not gonna say, oh, Connor
McDavid if he doesn't win tonight, never heard of him.
But he could go from living legend to eh they
(41:31):
almost won Almazon. Hey, but that's a big jump. Well, ok,
look at my dude of my dude, Rock Party. Yeah,
Rock Party was an overtime away from being mister Irrelevant
that beat Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. The ball
balanced the wrong way. Niners couldn't stop that last drive
of the Chiefs. Otherwise, you know, Rock Party is still
(41:54):
a guy that everyone's saying. No, he's a legit. He's
a mid mid range quarterback. He should get forty to
fifty million when the Niners have to sign them if
they do. But imagine brock Perty wins that super Bowl convincingly.
He's mister irrelevant that beats Mahomes and his stories. That's
a Hall of fame. His story is different. It's a
Hall of Fame performance and a Hall of Fame story.
(42:14):
A lot of speculation is that this Hall of Fame performance,
if he pulls it off, makes him an automatic Hall
of Famer. So to me a lot of steak. I
think it's kind of cool. It hypes me up. And
by the way, you know, this guy's no slouch he
had I think he led the league in goals last
year sixty He had like sixty four last year thirty
two this year. We're not hockey guys, clearly, But does
(42:38):
the ratings. Do the ratings beat a lackluster NBA finals?
I still don't think it. No way, No, I don't
think so. Well, well, we'll check you guys tomorrow. Enjoy
your Game seven tonight and enjoy clipped and anything we
talked about today. Feel Fred always hit us up at
Covin on Rich until then read it there chee baby,
see you in the promise. Good Bye, goodbye guys, to
(43:01):
u oh go up
Speaker 3 (43:09):
H
