Speaker 2 (02:30):
So thank you guys for hanging out with us and
being a part of our family. Like we said, now
this hour every Wednesday, Midweek major stories know all the
sports and pop culture? Are they mid week or major
spots on that at spots center on social media at
Covino and Rich and a new feature Mike, you know
who runs this place his Wednesday words of wisdom. So
we'll be giving you some of those later on because
we have to be subject to them. You have to
(02:51):
hear it too. I don't know how we could wait
for that any longer, but we have to because I
want to talk Rick Patino for a second. Sure we
talked about having secondary teams, not you can't claim more
than one team. We'll make it clear. Rick Patino, he
is New York. He was born in New York. He's
from New York. He's a native of New York. But
he was at City Field hanging with the Mets, and
(03:13):
a reporter did ask him again, listen, you got a
Mets jersey on. Aren't you a Yankees guy? And this
is what Rick Petino said.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Well, as a kid, I used to go watch Mickey Manno,
Roger Maris even reserves like Hector Lopez, Johnny Blanchard, Kubec, Richison,
Cletus Boy, one of a great third basement of all time. White.
He fought on the mound, Yogi, and you know it's
you grow up as a youngster sitting in the bleacher seats.
I think for a dollar eighteen at the time, if
(03:42):
I can remember. But I was always a Met fan
of Kuzman and Siva and going back to Tommy ag
and I'm one of the few people that rooted for
both teams. Anything with n Y on it, I'm one
hundred percent behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Now, first of all, he went way back with his
Yankee fandom, right, And if you're gonna call Cleat boy
or Cleatis boyer, yeah, you're clearly a Yankees guy. He
went back to Luke Garrig in that little rant. He
went on, he's a Yankees fan. Now does this count?
Can he be both? Can you be both. He is
(04:17):
a New York dude. We made that clear. I think
you could pay respect to your city and not hate
on the other teams because it's part of where you're from,
but you can't be rocking the other jersey. Example, I'm
a Yankees fan and I'm not gonna hate on the
Mets because I'm from the East Coast. I'm not gonna
hate on him, but I'm not gonna wear a Mets jersey.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Ever, that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Ever, we are in the minority that, yeah, we bust
each other's chops about the Mets and Yankees, but I
don't hate the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I have Mets fan friends that are like.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Ever, unless City Field invited me to throw out a
first pitch, that might be the only exception, because what
am I gonna do disrespect them and say no all
the what would you do in that moment?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I get it?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So you know, I can't say never, But you don't
just rock the other team's jersey. It's like, if you're
a Lakers fan Danny g from California, do you hate
the Clippers? Or like, if you're in another country or
another state, are you gonna be like? Yeah, man, you
know they're LA so I respect them, but I'm a
(05:24):
Lakers guy.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh have some hate towards Donald Sterling. I think a
lot of Los Angeles hates the Clippers former owner and
all the stories and facts about that guy from back
in the day. And it's the Clippers fans. I think
they talk about Lakers so much that you're like, pay
attention to your own little redheaded step child.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Team that you call them the redhead that's what they are.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And you know what they both though, because if you're both,
it's like women, right, It's like the Bachelor when he's like,
I'm in love with two women.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
To me, you know what that says?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yes, I know it's kind of possible, but it really
means that you don't love one because if you did,
you could be with her.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I have what I call interests. I'm a die hard
in college, like a secondary interest, ye minored in something
well like NFL. If you know our show, you know
that I'm a Niners guy. But there's certain teams that
if they do well, I'm happy for them. I'm certainly
not rooting like I'm a fan, but.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
That's totally fair.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
My mom, Danny G I have family members that like
the Raiders, and being that I'm from New York, I
have a soft spot for when the Jets actually do
something good, I'm like, God, good for them. I know
root against teams, but I would never say I have
more than one team. But then again, Rick Patino is
as New York and old school as you get. So
I have a hard time sort of hearing his answer
and hating on it because who's more New York than next,
(06:49):
Who's more New York and who dedicated their life more
to sports?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Exact?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Poor we to judge, but it still does rob me
the wrong way, respectfully, because here's what he could have said.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I grew up oh loving the New York Yankees, you know,
from Cleef Boy to Babe Ruto. I love them all, Cleatus,
you know, Cletus Boy and Yogi Berra, all the Yankee
Clip bund Red acc and BagleA Rulelo damn Bosco. I
love them all, Loop Panella. Oh but I gotta say
(07:22):
I'm wearing the mess because Tom Siva.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I loved him. Oh yeah, Greg Jefferies was one of
my favorites.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Sit Jefferries, Like, if you're you're allowed to have to
like players, you know what I mean. So if his
thing was I really loved you know, Tom's this Tom
sever era, he could have said, I love Tom sever
and Darryl Strawberry were heroes. What do you give love players?
Do you give Rick Patino an exception? Because he's such
a notable man in the sports world, that's his industry.
(07:50):
I mean, because he's Rick Patino, it means he hasn't
made up his mind. Rich It's like, yo, you're just
being selfish now. He maybe it's like she was one.
He's so inside. He works and his coach and one
of those legendary dudes in sports. So maybe he's allowed
to look at it at everybody? Is he not a person?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Pick one? You gotta pick one. You can't pick both,
you know what.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It reminds me of a little bit here on the
West Coast growing up, and I had some years in
the Bay Area as well, but here in southern California,
I've known Dodger fans that will go to Angels games
a couple times a season, and they don't have anything
against the Angels. It's just like they're in the American League.
They're no threat to the Dodgers, you know what I mean,
And so that's what I think of. Like I have
(08:32):
some step children who love Mike Trout and they loved
showhy early on because he was an angel, and it
was like they weren't Angels fans, but they had no
hate for him.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
They rooted them on even though they were Dodgers fans.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Does Patino get the pass? Just something that was kind
of funny stood out to us because he's clearly a
Yankees fan and he proves that in his statement and
everybody knows that, but he's wearing a Mets jersey.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So he was called out.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
There's certain cities that are big enough for multiple teams.
Or by the way, Rich hold On, I'm sorry to
interrupt more than ever with the Soto stuff. You can't
be both. Get out of here. You could respect the Mets,
but you can't be both. What about why not both?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Corn flower?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, not here, not in this case.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You could respect it, love players and watch and keep
your eye on or secondary interest like you said, but
you can't be like if it's New York, I love it,
give me, give me the answer, then then put your
thinking cap on.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Then it's a U vadora today by the Bay. Put
on your.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Thinking cap and think of what same state or same
city rivalry is just impossible to like both.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I have a few that come to mind, like impossible.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Like to me, it's like, you can't like Texas and
Texas A and m You can't like the Rangers and
the Islanders. I think the Clippers and Lakers are in
that same conversation.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You can't be a Raiders and a Niners fan.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, there's some now Mets Yankees.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's interesting right because there's no I'll give you the
caveats to why the Mets Yankees is interesting, but the
Soto thing stepped it up. My dad is almost Petina Wish,
and I'll explain. My dad grew up a Yankees fan.
Roger Maris was was his hero. My dad loved Roger Morris.
He's like I was one of the few where everyone
else is like manfold. My dad loved Roger Morris. He
was a Yankees fan, grow up someone nineteen sixty one.
(10:20):
We went to college in the Bronx fort Him. When
my dad was a teenager, the Mets came into existence,
there was a you know, there was a lore of
like another team, not a competitor of the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They're in the NL.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
My mother's family Mets fans, and over the years, my
dad went from Yankees to Mets, which, by the way,
weak decision.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know, think about it. I could have been a Yankees fan,
but we're Mets fans.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So if a team comes into existence, like if you
live in let's say Arizona, you might have been without
a team until the Diamondbacks popped up in the nineties.
So if you're like, well, I watched the Cubs on
w and well, you know, now I sort of like
the Cubs and the Diamondback maybe he lived through that exception,
you're an understanding. I'd say there's an understanding if.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You're an expansion team.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Said, if you're a Rockies fan and you're like, well,
I like the Rockies, but let's be honest, the Rockies
weren't around until, you know, thirty years ago, so before
that I was a Yankees. That just requires a little
more explanation and some understanding. So I get it. Doesn't
mean I need to agree, but I do understand. So
that's the Rick Patino story. Can you root for both?
(11:33):
I think you could have flour and corn tortillas. Sometimes
why not, both does apply, but sometimes it does not.
Like you said, Rangers Islanders. Sometimes you just can't. You
gotta pick one, pick one. You're being greedy. Yeah, so
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We do have
a few phone calls. We have other things to get through.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah. The person that also got crap with this, I
said it before the break.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Our our old pal comedian Sebastian Man of scotch Olco.
Why would you do that? He throughout the first pitch?
You do that throughout the first pitch at the Cubbies game.
He's a Chicago guy. But when he did, he actually
went on social media and he's like, I know all
my old school buddies know that he's a more of
a South Side White Sox fan.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But he's like, hey, yeah, but you know what, I'm
I'm a Chicago guy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And he tried to justify, like, but I'm a Chicago
guy and I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
A Chicago guy. That's funny.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You look, I don't know, I think that only applies
like rich, when are you American? When do you call
yourself American when you're out of the country, right, So
maybe I don't know. Maybe when you're at a certain
level of celebrity and you're in different states. Like you
no longer represent a team, you represent a state. I'm
not at that level of success I represent. I'm a
Yankees fan. I'm not a New York guy. I'm not
(12:50):
a New Jersey guy. I mean, I'm just a Yankees fan.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I consider myself an ambassador here out in LA. I'm
like a novelty, like an ambassador for the state of Iowa.
And I certainly wouldn't aware a cyclones Jersey, but I will.
I'm in the know with these cyclones. I stay cyclones
in the northern i with panthers and Drake Bulldogs. I
like to know what's going on with them, and I
will talk about them, but I'm not rooting for them.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now, let's take two quickies and then I want to
talk about what I think could very well be the.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
End of the world.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Let's got Bob, You're on in Texas. What to tease
that is.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Hey, Bob from Kentucky and Kentucky versus level and basketball,
both of which Potino coach. That's kind of like a
civil war, and you can't cheer for both.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Like that, Like, I don't think I don't think you
could be like, well, you know what I like. You
can't say, you know, I like Yukon.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm not not you could. You can't say I like
North Carolina. Absolutely, you just can't like some. You can't say, well,
I like the I like the Blue Devils both the
Tar Hills are you know?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Can't sounds indecisive?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Ye, Well, none of us grew up hearing Oh I'm
a big Celtics fan and a big Lakers fan, like
one or the other.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You may have admired bird Magic for their play, but
you you weren't a fan of the Lakers and Celtics.
That just doesn't make sense, all right, trip wrap this
up in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Hey, buddy, Good afternoon, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
So it's great to talk.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
So I went to the University of South Carolina. My
sister went there, my family lived there.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
I don't own anything orange.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
We don't mention the word Clemson in my house.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, we had two interns when we were in our
serious record. I don't own anything orange either, but it
has nothing to do with Clemson. What about your hooter shorts?
Oh man, that's right, my hooter shorts that I wear
to bed. I forgot about that. It was a good
call and it looks sexy on you. We had two interns,
Danny j I'd say about a decade ago, James and Jeff.
(14:43):
We had two interns in the same semester.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Remember when interns were a thing in radio.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Before they started demanding money. Four people started sleeping with
all of them. Interns were making more than us, So
they came into their internship one one went to LSU,
one went to Alabama. From the minute they met each other,
they hated each other. Yeah, and the whole semester was
almost like an internal competition, like like hey, Carino and Richard,
(15:10):
I'm better.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Than one represented LSU and whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It was very funny to watch them the whole semester,
almost like there was some odd internal like I'm trying
to prove to you guys that my college is better
and oh, you know what it sounds like too. And
again there's an understanding because the Mets came out later
and he probably appreciated him. It sounds like a political answer,
like he's a politician of sorts, like like Giuliani's a
Yankees fan, and I remember there were times where he would,
(15:36):
you know, support the Mets and people be like, why
are you doing that, Rudy. You know that was before
that was before the crazy and the hair dynam exactly. Yeah,
what's up there, damn byo.
Speaker 9 (15:47):
I was just gonna say, just going back to the
main point of Rick Patino, it's not like that there's
a main competition in New York City for Saint John's. Like,
I can understand if you're a Rudy Julian and you're
running a campaign or politician or in that case, you
don't want one side to completely leave you and go
(16:08):
to the other side. But there was no other side
for Saint John's basketball.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, and if anything, he's sort of gaining support of
everyone in New York, Like, Hey, I'm so New York.
I'm Rick Patino, root for Saint John's, Yankees fans, Miss fans,
I love everybody.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
He's Yeah, I just I don't necessarily I don't necessarily
understand it. I was like the when President Obama just
said I'm a white Sox fan would wear his white
Sox cap.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I totally respect.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That, respected it. I thought that was refreshing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Didn't he wear He actually did wear I think a
white Sox hat at a first pitching Wrigley or something
something along those lines. He did do that, and I
respected the fact that, like, that's the team he rooted
it for. It's not that serious, it's not that deep
as the kiddos say, am I mad at Rick Patino know,
but you gotta call him out as they did when
(16:53):
he saw him on the streets. Now, before we get
into other nonsense, Spot's got Midweek major, and I know
that's going to take some time. We want to give
him time to go of all the hot stories. Big Mike,
who runs his place, who Big Mic sits down with
us every day, and this is a testament to Mike.
We love Big Mic. He brainstorms, we shoot ideas back
(17:16):
and forth.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It inspires thought.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We love Big Mic, and sometimes they'll drop words of
wisdom and we're like, Mike, I think we just need
to make this a feature because if we have to
hear these things, I think everyone does.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
That's him emailing me right now because he runs this place.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Let's listen to installment one of Big MIC's words of
wisdom on a.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Wednesday, passing the torture onto you.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
If someone tells you eating less cheese is healthier, they
are one just trying to steal your cheek.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Never thought about it that you like my music? Never
thought about it that? Right, Wow, Rich, you're the cheesiest
guy I know. How do you feel about it? So
if someone says eating cheese, eating cheese is bad for you,
they're just after your cheese. Yeah, I think it's deeper that.
I don't think it's just about cheese.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I think it's a metaphor.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah I do. I think it's a metaphor one tells
you to eat lest.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's like it's like when your wife says that shirt
looks good on you, but it really doesn't. She's just
trying to keep you out of the game. I think
that's kind of what he's getting at. Thank you, big
mic who runs this place.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thank you. All right, Well we got more Covino on Rich.

What was it against Pott?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Do you remember, Uh, if someone tells you cheese is
bad for you, they're just trying to steal your cheese.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
If someone tells you eating less cheese is healthier, they
are one just trying to steal your cheese.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Think there's a lot of truth to that, but I
don't know cheese about.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Mike was very proud of that that, Like, man, he
really broke the glass on Alex Before we get into
midweek major, I do want to point out one more thing.
Nathaniel Lowe of the Nationals. Nathaniel low his mustache. I
don't even kidding. You don't think if is another new segment,
the weakest mustache of the day. And I'm not hating,
I'm just stating, but he's got like the weakest Clark
(22:44):
Gable pencil stash going on. It's kind of Clark Gable,
but it's also who's that guy.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
John Waters?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
John Waters?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, it's a John Waters pencil stash. You'll see it
in the highlights later National jer playing the dog. Yeah,
but you're okay with a Yankee Austin Wells mustache. It's
better than this dude's.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, for sure. It looks like a Wolvers. So that
Peak said, it's a hump day and it's.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Time Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of
the week when mid Week Major Major. I love that
we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.
Speaker 6 (23:28):
Say, that's summit.
Speaker 10 (23:29):
We definitely pature seeing our score mid Week Major.
Speaker 5 (23:35):
Off, we go really quick. We could give Spotty nine
full minutes.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What am I gonna do with all that?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
You hear the horns. You know you've made it to
the middle of the work week.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of the segment, we like to roll the
two red love dice in the main studio.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh man, sorry, this is to see I'm thinking about
Mike's I was like, what does he mean by gell
the dice?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, the winner of the role gets first take.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I rolled ten and Rich roll.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
A a man, you keep losing.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, I'm on a streak man, So Coveno gets to
go first. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous
person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Points New Jersey spotty boy.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
All right, since we're talking about mustached men.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Actually he just debuted a new beard, Paul Skeen's you know,
has that new bearded look. Has Libby done by his side,
But his gymnast influencer girlfriend revealed that he almost blew
his chance at dating her, and that's for one simple
reason that he didn't follow her back on social media.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Lanet.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I know the fact that she had like five million
followers meant nothing, but in a GQ interview, she talked
about how they knew each other as Lsu athletes, but
she was hesitant to pursue him because he didn't throw
the follow back. Skeen says it wasn't intentional, he wasn't
active on social media, was very aware of Done, as
everyone else was at the school. But it's possible that
(24:57):
actually the lack of follow made her more interested. She's like,
why is it kind of following me? What everybody else does?
She said, who is this kid? He won't follow me back?
Eventually schemes went master her out and I went public
with their relationship midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I'm not hating.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I'm just stating again this is uh, this is a
mid story because I just don't get it. But it's
not my job to get it. This guy has the
personality of again I said it yesterday, my wettest sock possible.
But still he pulled her with no follow. It makes
me want to take my follow back. I followed Libby Done.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I want it back back right now? A chance you
take your follow back? Girl? You know what?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
There is a major lesson though to be learned, and
the major lesson to be learned is like women want
you to ignore them.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I don't know why, but that's the truth. You're explain it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is mid However, however, it worked to his advantage,
not being a fanboy, That's what I'm saying. You know,
you've you've heard many of influencer hottie say, oh they
follow me, they I have fans.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You don't have fans. People You're people are fans of
your ass. So I think, to be honest, Gymnast in defense,
she's different.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But I'm saying there are people that are just hot
on social media and when they say my fans are.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Like fans of what your boobs, so to me, I
think not being a fan by work to his advantage.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And listen, he's busy being a future Hall of Fame
Cy Young Award winner at LSU. Do you think he's
worried about following someone on social media? But then again,
playing hard to get unintentionally seemed to work.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, you know what, props to him. He played it cool.
I guess can we say, can we say the B word?
Are we about to say that? Well, I'll stick with that.
You know what.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I was gonna save this for later, but I'll stick
with that theme. If you needed a reason to watch
this year's International Boxing Hall of Fame Parade of Champions,
because I know you were going to be glued into that.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I have two big reasons for you.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
That's because Sydney Sweeney has been named the official Grand
Marshal of the event that will take place in boxing's
hometown of Kennistota, New York, on Sunday, June eighth, Sweeney
most likely taking the honor and promotion of her upcoming
role as female boxer icon Chris Steve Martin, who herself
served as the Grand Marshall back in nineteen ninety six
and was really thrilled that Sweeney was announced. This year's
(27:07):
class of honorees actually includes Manny Pachiow, Vinnie Pause, Kenny Bayliss,
among others.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Midweek er major.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'm a boxing fan, so everything about it I think
is mid no. But there's major names involved, right, Vinnie Pazyanza,
Manny Pakia.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
These are all Hall of Fame names.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
And the fact that Sidney Sweeney's playing Christy Martin, I
mean they really, I mean she was good looking for
a boxer. Sidney Sweeney might be the almost best looking
women in Hollywood. Yeah, the total glamour casting. Actually some
of the images look really good. Yes, she really dedicated
herself to boxing. Just to make it more legit and
to make it more realistic. You got to give Sidney
Sweeney credit. It is a glamour casting.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think it's a it's a mid story maybe, but
still does it. Speedbags joke in here somewhere that I just.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Can't find right. Oh you mean you bounced those things
like sugar Ray Leonard. I just one of my two
big reasons joke to oh Spot, can you repeat the
name of that in New York?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Was it can of soda? No can of soda? Oh okay,
I thought I heard you say can of soda?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Was like, I want to there's too Kansas giant cans
of soda. Lebron James teaming up with Mattel and the
Barbie franchise to be the first quote combassador for the
massively popular doll.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Lebron will be honored for his influence on quote culture,
style and community.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
The doll that's going to be created will be incredibly
detailed with his signature beard, custom jacket, crossbat, body bags, sunglasses, Beats, headphones,
a gold watch, and merged from his foundation, also a
pair of Nikes with phrases scribbled on them. He will
be wearing a hat unfortunately, so we don't know if
the hairline is going to be accurate. The dolls will
be available for seventy five dollars in stores and online
(28:44):
midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
This is major.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I think of the Barbie franchise, how legendary it is.
You combine the franchise with Lebron again, they picked him
because of his style, his community and something else. There
was like a criteria that he met style, community and
something else. Culture, style, community, and Lebron is, you know,
great ambassador to the game in his community. It's a
(29:08):
huge honor the Barbie franchise, like I said, And it's
a cool doll. He's calling it La Ken as a Ken. Yeah,
but is it like does he still wear those like
nude color briefies that the old Ken used to weary
or is it anatomically.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Correct Listen, I think this is this is major.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I was talking about this earlier in my Mojo Dojo
Casa House.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, he has his own Ken, though, he has his
own doll. Barbie, like you said, is a huge brand.
Lebron's one of the biggest stars in the world. I
think it's great. I mean, who does it want action figures.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You ask any player, any wrestler, any actor, when there's
an action figure, no matter how popular you are.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's gotta be a cool.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
It's funny because it just coincides with the current trend
that's going on with social media right now, do chat, GPT,
everybody's creating their own action own figure. If you go
to our social media right now, Covino and Rich in
our Instagram story put our images through AI and he
created like a Cadino and Rich action figure set. And
everybody's been doing that. But Lebron has an actual Barbie
(30:08):
dog coming out. It's cool when you could personalize these things.
I think for Easter, I'm gonna surprise my kids and
get you know that you could design a FUNC to
look like someone. I think it's like thirty or forty bucks.
You could personalize one for your kids.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I don't know. I think it's really cool something you
were never able to do when we were kids.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger, I don't know if you saw
this story, says he's officially done with eating chicken wings
after a nasty bout of food poisoning after the Yanks
lost to the Tigers, Monday night in Detroit, Bellinger opted
to chill in his hotel room and watched the NCAA
Men's National Championship. Ordered up some chicken wings from the
hotel without any saucer rubs. Said they were great, but
(30:46):
woke up at four am sweating and throwing up for hours.
Was ruled out of Tuesday nights game due to food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Blamed it on the undercook wings. Was back Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
He said that he will not eat chicken wings for
at least five years because even just the thought of
it makes it them sick.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, it makes me think of every bozo kid is
like I'll never touch tequila or gold slager, Like whatever
made him sick, you always associated with that, so you
stay away from it.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So I'm waiting for that day that cookies makes me sick,
so I could avoid him for five years. Nobody not
Patrick's moms. Yeah, just not Patrick's moms. This is major.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I think it's possible to stay away from a food
for a lengthy period of time.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I have two examples.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I got so trashed off of tequila in college, and
no joke, I dipped away for a good ten years
until I had a Marguerite again in like my mid twenties,
late twenties, and I got sick off of just eating
too many sour cream and onion potato chips.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Is like a preteen like I was eating.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I must have had like three cans of Pringle sour
cream and onion, didn't touch them for a decade. So
I wouldn't be shocked if Beladru went on a break.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Can I just chicken wings are too good to give up, though,
even if I got sick off them, like within a year,
I'd be like.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I need eat.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I love chicken wings. It's like, but if your memory,
if your memory of them is I adny. Think about
sourdough bread. I didn't eat it for about fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Oh man, all right, well let's go to Dan Bayer.
Thank you midweek Major dB.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
What's somebody, hey, Dan Fellas? We got a walk off
home run in San Francisco. Mike Yastremsky just hit a
two run shot a few minutes ago, propelling the Giants
over the Reds eight to six in ten A busy
busy day in Major League Baseball, Yes, rich day.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I's gonna say, did you see that adorable clips a?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Right? Interrupt DV of Stremsky with like one hundred year
old veteran and the guy's like, I used to love
your grandfather.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It was the most touching moment.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
If you haven't seen this looking up on X or
Instagram or something, it really is. It's like the oldest
old timer and he's thrilled to meet you Stromsky because he's.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Like your Grandpapy. I loved him heartwarm.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
That is cool.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
So the other action of Major League Baseball that was
a walk off variety of the walkoff variety happened in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Joey Barrant knocks in the run and the Pirates can
walk off winners.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
They beat the Cardinals chot A one in thirteen.
Speaker 9 (32:58):
In share this firereks in the daytime. It's got the
same effect today. You win for the Pirates today and
the Pirates Radio network. Marlin's blank the Mets, Sorry, Rich
five nothing. Covino's Yankees of victor against the Tigers four
to three. Rangers beat the cub six to two. Corey
Seeger two home runs. Today, Padres got past the ace
in Sacramento two to one. Diamondbacks blank the Orioles nine
(33:22):
to nothing. Games of Progress right now. Dodgers lead the
Nationals six to five. In the ninth inning, Tascar Hernandez
hitting his fifth home run of the season. Astros lead
the Mariners five nothing in the eighth. Couple of other
headlines to pass along, guys, the NBA rescinded the second
technical given the Lakers guard Luka Doncic last night in
the game against Oklahoma City where he was ejected. Luca
(33:43):
obviously returning tonight to where he played previously, that's in Dallas,
with the Mavericks T shirts saying thank you Luca being
draped on the seats in Dallas. Also, a video message
expected to be played for Luca prior to the game,
soon to be Hall of favorite Dwight Howard's gonna play
in the Big Three. This local ten News in South
Florida say police were called to the home of Dolphins
(34:03):
wide receiver Tyreek Hill on Monday afternoon for what was
described as a domestic dispute between Hill and his wife.
No charges were filed in the matter. And finally, the
twenty twenty eighth Summer Games will feature sixteen women's teams
and twelve men's teams in soccer. That's a switch from
twenty twenty four, when it was the other way around.
The IOC says the change. The change means that more
(34:24):
female athletes will compete in the LA Games than male athletes,
the first time that's happened in the history of the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Thank you, Damn Bayer.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I don't know if there's any truth to this, Rich,
but I heard that the Dallas Mavericks video message was
a message from Scott Farcas to Luca and it says
cry baby cry, Cry baby Cry.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
And that's still going to play tonight, but we'll see
what happens.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Listen, I want to talk about dire wolves and something
that I that's in the news that's wild.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
But before you go to break, I just want to
point out we keep talking about Otani, Danny g and
how your Dodger is like the guy just looks like
a generational guy that we should just watch every day.
Just show hey the greatness Tanny, your boy Aaron Judge.
I hate to give Yankees' credit, but I just looked
up his stat line. Yeah, told you he's hitting the
ball like Herman Monster three forty one six, six home runs,
(35:20):
eighteen RBIs in the first like two weeks of this
is incredible. It's unbelievable. So keep an eye on Judge too.
Judge is like if he was playing, if Otani didn't exist,
greatest right handed hitter, we'd be talking about we'd be
talking about Aaron Judge every day if Otani didn't exist, insane,
He's still incredible. All right, we got more Kavino on

Tuesday Wednesday, the Dan Patrick Hatrick will be filling in

Speaker 1 (38:22):
But before we go, I know you wanted to talk
about wolves.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Dire wolves, not just wolves. You know that haven't existed
for ten thousand years. We mentioned this yesterday. I was
getting you could play Game of Thrones music because dire
wolves best known from Game of Thrones. And I bring
that up because do do do a lot of people
didn't know they were real. Yeah, dire wolves are real.
(38:49):
They haven't been around for again. Oh are they related
to the Timberwolves, the Minnesota dire Wolves, the dire wolves.
Oddly enough, scientists have unextincted What is this badass?
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
It's the rock out version. This is John Snow at
Open Mic Night picture slash on the mountaintop.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
So diar wolves after ten thousand years, they've been unextincted,
as they say, And.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Is that really the term unextincted? What do they always say?
Kids say unlived?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, they say that because you can't say anything else
on social media. But unextincted, now, that sounds like a
stupid word. Do you show that's the word. It's not
like this is a word we made up, unextincted, undead.
I'm looking at a George R. R. Martin of Game
of Thrones, the creator is actually one of the few
(39:48):
people who has got to see these dire wolves, these
old pups, up close and personal. And he said it's
the greatest thing he's ever seen in his life. And
it sort of makes sense that the guy who in
the books, I know, big Mike, who runs this place.
You know, the guy word's a wisdom. He was saying,
She's guy. He was, Yeah, che's guy.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
He was saying, if you read the books, the diar
wolves play even a bigger role. Oh yeah, I'm not
doing so I'll take Mike's word for it. So George R. R.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Martin gets to hang and hold these little dire wolves
that have been extinct for ten thousand years. And I
bring this up because the scientists who have done this
are saying, you know, we're going to and have the
ability to do this with a wooly mammoth, the dodo
bird and all these other extinct animals.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
And you got to ask.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It was just a bird till Rich's ancestors got on
top of it. It's true today we started writing one.
You know, don't don't talk about my ancestors like that.
You know, this very sensitive. So of all these saber
truth tigers, Rich, what would you want to say? But
I'm saying, and by the way, doesn't dismiss with the ecosystem.
My point is if they isolate them in a zoo,
(40:55):
a museum or something. The reality is, haven't we seen
so many movies that warn us of this? Yeah, isn't
it just like ethically wrong. I'm not saying I don't know.
I'm not saying I'm not saying Jurassic Parks I need
to go down. I'm not gonna say Jurassic Park is
gonna happen. What would you want to see? Serious, I'd
want to see a terodactyl. That would be insane. Did
a pterodactyl or sabertoothed tight I'm sorry, a saber tooth tiger,
(41:21):
a t rex of any one of the like you said,
a wooly mammoth.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Am I just getting way too you know, into movies?
Just to think that pop culture has warned us that
this doesn't end well? Or do you think we could
in museum and zoo form bring back creatures from thousands
of years ago?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Is a terrible idea or an awesome mind We're doing it?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Like we often say that, yeah, rock art imitates life,
but there's a lot of times where life imitates art,
and yeah, we've seen it in Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
It could happen AI.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
We saw it with a I absolutely how that's started
starting to change things We've seen it with like twenty
eight days, viruses and things like that. Keep that in mind.
If the world ends. We warned you today, Ribadecci, Baby,
you in a promised land. Good bad guys.

and eat one of the cookies.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Now, Yeah, everybody in their car and at home, you
get to reap the benefits of the seeing our fun,
but you're missing out on Maureene's cookies.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Wish you were here with us in La. You know
what it is?
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Every every mom they want what happened to Marine?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Just now?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
She sent her son to work with take some treats.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Patrick comes in.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
He's a grown man, mind you, but he comes in like,
look what my mom baked and we love it.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
It works. It's the best. I look forward to it.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Don't you think the mom does that with the intention
of like, I hope him.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And his friends like.
Speaker 5 (02:21):
We do.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
It's the best man, and that's how you make friends too.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Patrick just went up my AP rankings of producers.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, Patrick, he's the best.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
So thank you guys for hanging out with us and
being a part of our family. Like we said, now
this hour every Wednesday, Midweek major stories know all the
sports and pop culture? Are they mid week or major
spots on that at spots center on social media at
Covino and Rich and a new feature Mike, you know
who runs this place his Wednesday words of wisdom. So
we'll be giving you some of those later on because
we have to be subject to them. You have to
(02:51):
hear it too. I don't know how we could wait
for that any longer, but we have to because I
want to talk Rick Patino for a second. Sure we
talked about having secondary teams, not you can't claim more
than one team. We'll make it clear. Rick Patino, he
is New York. He was born in New York. He's
from New York. He's a native of New York. But
he was at City Field hanging with the Mets, and
(03:13):
a reporter did ask him again, listen, you got a
Mets jersey on. Aren't you a Yankees guy? And this
is what Rick Petino said.
Speaker 6 (03:21):
Well, as a kid, I used to go watch Mickey Manno,
Roger Maris even reserves like Hector Lopez, Johnny Blanchard, Kubec, Richison,
Cletus Boy, one of a great third basement of all time. White.
He fought on the mound, Yogi, and you know it's
you grow up as a youngster sitting in the bleacher seats.
I think for a dollar eighteen at the time, if
(03:42):
I can remember. But I was always a Met fan
of Kuzman and Siva and going back to Tommy ag
and I'm one of the few people that rooted for
both teams. Anything with n Y on it, I'm one
hundred percent behind it.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Now, first of all, he went way back with his
Yankee fandom, right, And if you're gonna call Cleat boy
or Cleatis boyer, yeah, you're clearly a Yankees guy. He
went back to Luke Garrig in that little rant. He
went on, he's a Yankees fan. Now does this count?
Can he be both? Can you be both. He is
(04:17):
a New York dude. We made that clear. I think
you could pay respect to your city and not hate
on the other teams because it's part of where you're from,
but you can't be rocking the other jersey. Example, I'm
a Yankees fan and I'm not gonna hate on the
Mets because I'm from the East Coast. I'm not gonna
hate on him, but I'm not gonna wear a Mets jersey.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Ever, that's the difference.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Ever, we are in the minority that, yeah, we bust
each other's chops about the Mets and Yankees, but I
don't hate the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
I have Mets fan friends that are like.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Ever, unless City Field invited me to throw out a
first pitch, that might be the only exception, because what
am I gonna do disrespect them and say no all
the what would you do in that moment?
Speaker 7 (05:02):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:03):
I get it?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
So you know, I can't say never, But you don't
just rock the other team's jersey. It's like, if you're
a Lakers fan Danny g from California, do you hate
the Clippers? Or like, if you're in another country or
another state, are you gonna be like? Yeah, man, you
know they're LA so I respect them, but I'm a
(05:24):
Lakers guy.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Uh have some hate towards Donald Sterling. I think a
lot of Los Angeles hates the Clippers former owner and
all the stories and facts about that guy from back
in the day. And it's the Clippers fans. I think
they talk about Lakers so much that you're like, pay
attention to your own little redheaded step child.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Team that you call them the redhead that's what they are.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
And you know what they both though, because if you're both,
it's like women, right, It's like the Bachelor when he's like,
I'm in love with two women.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
To me, you know what that says?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yes, I know it's kind of possible, but it really
means that you don't love one because if you did,
you could be with her.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I have what I call interests. I'm a die hard
in college, like a secondary interest, ye minored in something
well like NFL. If you know our show, you know
that I'm a Niners guy. But there's certain teams that
if they do well, I'm happy for them. I'm certainly
not rooting like I'm a fan, but.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
That's totally fair.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
My mom, Danny G I have family members that like
the Raiders, and being that I'm from New York, I
have a soft spot for when the Jets actually do
something good, I'm like, God, good for them. I know
root against teams, but I would never say I have
more than one team. But then again, Rick Patino is
as New York and old school as you get. So
I have a hard time sort of hearing his answer
and hating on it because who's more New York than next,
(06:49):
Who's more New York and who dedicated their life more
to sports?
Speaker 8 (06:52):
Right?
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Exact?
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Poor we to judge, but it still does rob me
the wrong way, respectfully, because here's what he could have said.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I grew up oh loving the New York Yankees, you know,
from Cleef Boy to Babe Ruto. I love them all, Cleatus,
you know, Cletus Boy and Yogi Berra, all the Yankee
Clip bund Red acc and BagleA Rulelo damn Bosco. I
love them all, Loop Panella. Oh but I gotta say
(07:22):
I'm wearing the mess because Tom Siva.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I loved him. Oh yeah, Greg Jefferies was one of
my favorites.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Sit Jefferries, Like, if you're you're allowed to have to
like players, you know what I mean. So if his
thing was I really loved you know, Tom's this Tom
sever era, he could have said, I love Tom sever
and Darryl Strawberry were heroes. What do you give love players?
Do you give Rick Patino an exception? Because he's such
a notable man in the sports world, that's his industry.
(07:50):
I mean, because he's Rick Patino, it means he hasn't
made up his mind. Rich It's like, yo, you're just
being selfish now. He maybe it's like she was one.
He's so inside. He works and his coach and one
of those legendary dudes in sports. So maybe he's allowed
to look at it at everybody? Is he not a person?
Speaker 1 (08:05):
Pick one? You gotta pick one. You can't pick both,
you know what.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
It reminds me of a little bit here on the
West Coast growing up, and I had some years in
the Bay Area as well, but here in southern California,
I've known Dodger fans that will go to Angels games
a couple times a season, and they don't have anything
against the Angels. It's just like they're in the American League.
They're no threat to the Dodgers, you know what I mean,
And so that's what I think of. Like I have
(08:32):
some step children who love Mike Trout and they loved
showhy early on because he was an angel, and it
was like they weren't Angels fans, but they had no
hate for him.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
They rooted them on even though they were Dodgers fans.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Does Patino get the pass? Just something that was kind
of funny stood out to us because he's clearly a
Yankees fan and he proves that in his statement and
everybody knows that, but he's wearing a Mets jersey.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
So he was called out.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
There's certain cities that are big enough for multiple teams.
Or by the way, Rich hold On, I'm sorry to
interrupt more than ever with the Soto stuff. You can't
be both. Get out of here. You could respect the Mets,
but you can't be both. What about why not both?
Speaker 5 (09:12):
Corn flower?
Speaker 1 (09:13):
No, not here, not in this case.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
You could respect it, love players and watch and keep
your eye on or secondary interest like you said, but
you can't be like if it's New York, I love it,
give me, give me the answer, then then put your
thinking cap on.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Then it's a U vadora today by the Bay. Put
on your.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Thinking cap and think of what same state or same
city rivalry is just impossible to like both.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I have a few that come to mind, like impossible.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Like to me, it's like, you can't like Texas and
Texas A and m You can't like the Rangers and
the Islanders. I think the Clippers and Lakers are in
that same conversation.
Speaker 5 (09:54):
You can't be a Raiders and a Niners fan.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, there's some now Mets Yankees.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
It's interesting right because there's no I'll give you the
caveats to why the Mets Yankees is interesting, but the
Soto thing stepped it up. My dad is almost Petina Wish,
and I'll explain. My dad grew up a Yankees fan.
Roger Maris was was his hero. My dad loved Roger Morris.
He's like I was one of the few where everyone
else is like manfold. My dad loved Roger Morris. He
was a Yankees fan, grow up someone nineteen sixty one.
(10:20):
We went to college in the Bronx fort Him. When
my dad was a teenager, the Mets came into existence,
there was a you know, there was a lore of
like another team, not a competitor of the Yankees.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
They're in the NL.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
My mother's family Mets fans, and over the years, my
dad went from Yankees to Mets, which, by the way,
weak decision.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
You know, think about it. I could have been a Yankees fan,
but we're Mets fans.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
So if a team comes into existence, like if you
live in let's say Arizona, you might have been without
a team until the Diamondbacks popped up in the nineties.
So if you're like, well, I watched the Cubs on
w and well, you know, now I sort of like
the Cubs and the Diamondback maybe he lived through that exception,
you're an understanding. I'd say there's an understanding if.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You're an expansion team.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Said, if you're a Rockies fan and you're like, well,
I like the Rockies, but let's be honest, the Rockies
weren't around until, you know, thirty years ago, so before
that I was a Yankees. That just requires a little
more explanation and some understanding. So I get it. Doesn't
mean I need to agree, but I do understand. So
that's the Rick Patino story. Can you root for both?
(11:33):
I think you could have flour and corn tortillas. Sometimes
why not, both does apply, but sometimes it does not.
Like you said, Rangers Islanders. Sometimes you just can't. You
gotta pick one, pick one. You're being greedy. Yeah, so
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. We do have
a few phone calls. We have other things to get through.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah. The person that also got crap with this, I
said it before the break.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Our our old pal comedian Sebastian Man of scotch Olco.
Why would you do that? He throughout the first pitch?
You do that throughout the first pitch at the Cubbies game.
He's a Chicago guy. But when he did, he actually
went on social media and he's like, I know all
my old school buddies know that he's a more of
a South Side White Sox fan.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
But he's like, hey, yeah, but you know what, I'm
I'm a Chicago guy.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
And he tried to justify, like, but I'm a Chicago
guy and I'm.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
A Chicago guy. That's funny.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
You look, I don't know, I think that only applies
like rich, when are you American? When do you call
yourself American when you're out of the country, right, So
maybe I don't know. Maybe when you're at a certain
level of celebrity and you're in different states. Like you
no longer represent a team, you represent a state. I'm
not at that level of success I represent. I'm a
Yankees fan. I'm not a New York guy. I'm not
(12:50):
a New Jersey guy. I mean, I'm just a Yankees fan.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
I consider myself an ambassador here out in LA. I'm
like a novelty, like an ambassador for the state of Iowa.
And I certainly wouldn't aware a cyclones Jersey, but I will.
I'm in the know with these cyclones. I stay cyclones
in the northern i with panthers and Drake Bulldogs. I
like to know what's going on with them, and I
will talk about them, but I'm not rooting for them.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Now, let's take two quickies and then I want to
talk about what I think could very well be the.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
End of the world.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Let's got Bob, You're on in Texas. What to tease
that is.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
Hey, Bob from Kentucky and Kentucky versus level and basketball,
both of which Potino coach. That's kind of like a
civil war, and you can't cheer for both.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Like that, Like, I don't think I don't think you
could be like, well, you know what I like. You
can't say, you know, I like Yukon.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm not not you could. You can't say I like
North Carolina. Absolutely, you just can't like some. You can't say, well,
I like the I like the Blue Devils both the
Tar Hills are you know?
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Can't sounds indecisive?
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Ye, Well, none of us grew up hearing Oh I'm
a big Celtics fan and a big Lakers fan, like
one or the other.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
You may have admired bird Magic for their play, but
you you weren't a fan of the Lakers and Celtics.
That just doesn't make sense, all right, trip wrap this
up in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Hey, buddy, Good afternoon, guys.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
So it's great to talk.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
So I went to the University of South Carolina. My
sister went there, my family lived there.
Speaker 8 (14:16):
I don't own anything orange.
Speaker 7 (14:17):
We don't mention the word Clemson in my house.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Yeah, we had two interns when we were in our
serious record. I don't own anything orange either, but it
has nothing to do with Clemson. What about your hooter shorts?
Oh man, that's right, my hooter shorts that I wear
to bed. I forgot about that. It was a good
call and it looks sexy on you. We had two interns,
Danny j I'd say about a decade ago, James and Jeff.
(14:43):
We had two interns in the same semester.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
Remember when interns were a thing in radio.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Before they started demanding money. Four people started sleeping with
all of them. Interns were making more than us, So
they came into their internship one one went to LSU,
one went to Alabama. From the minute they met each other,
they hated each other. Yeah, and the whole semester was
almost like an internal competition, like like hey, Carino and Richard,
(15:10):
I'm better.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Than one represented LSU and whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
It was very funny to watch them the whole semester,
almost like there was some odd internal like I'm trying
to prove to you guys that my college is better
and oh, you know what it sounds like too. And
again there's an understanding because the Mets came out later
and he probably appreciated him. It sounds like a political answer,
like he's a politician of sorts, like like Giuliani's a
Yankees fan, and I remember there were times where he would,
(15:36):
you know, support the Mets and people be like, why
are you doing that, Rudy. You know that was before
that was before the crazy and the hair dynam exactly. Yeah,
what's up there, damn byo.
Speaker 9 (15:47):
I was just gonna say, just going back to the
main point of Rick Patino, it's not like that there's
a main competition in New York City for Saint John's. Like,
I can understand if you're a Rudy Julian and you're
running a campaign or politician or in that case, you
don't want one side to completely leave you and go
(16:08):
to the other side. But there was no other side
for Saint John's basketball.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Yeah, and if anything, he's sort of gaining support of
everyone in New York, Like, Hey, I'm so New York.
I'm Rick Patino, root for Saint John's, Yankees fans, Miss fans,
I love everybody.
Speaker 9 (16:19):
He's Yeah, I just I don't necessarily I don't necessarily
understand it. I was like the when President Obama just
said I'm a white Sox fan would wear his white
Sox cap.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
I totally respect.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That, respected it. I thought that was refreshing.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Didn't he wear He actually did wear I think a
white Sox hat at a first pitching Wrigley or something
something along those lines. He did do that, and I
respected the fact that, like, that's the team he rooted
it for. It's not that serious, it's not that deep
as the kiddos say, am I mad at Rick Patino know,
but you gotta call him out as they did when
(16:53):
he saw him on the streets. Now, before we get
into other nonsense, Spot's got Midweek major, and I know
that's going to take some time. We want to give
him time to go of all the hot stories. Big Mike,
who runs his place, who Big Mic sits down with
us every day, and this is a testament to Mike.
We love Big Mic. He brainstorms, we shoot ideas back
(17:16):
and forth.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
It inspires thought.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
We love Big Mic, and sometimes they'll drop words of
wisdom and we're like, Mike, I think we just need
to make this a feature because if we have to
hear these things, I think everyone does.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
That's him emailing me right now because he runs this place.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Let's listen to installment one of Big MIC's words of
wisdom on a.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
Wednesday, passing the torture onto you.
Speaker 8 (17:46):
If someone tells you eating less cheese is healthier, they
are one just trying to steal your cheek.
Speaker 2 (17:59):
Never thought about it that you like my music? Never
thought about it that? Right, Wow, Rich, you're the cheesiest
guy I know. How do you feel about it? So
if someone says eating cheese, eating cheese is bad for you,
they're just after your cheese. Yeah, I think it's deeper that.
I don't think it's just about cheese.
Speaker 5 (18:13):
I think it's a metaphor.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Yeah I do. I think it's a metaphor one tells
you to eat lest.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
It's like it's like when your wife says that shirt
looks good on you, but it really doesn't. She's just
trying to keep you out of the game. I think
that's kind of what he's getting at. Thank you, big
mic who runs this place.
Speaker 1 (18:30):

What was it against Pott?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Do you remember, Uh, if someone tells you cheese is
bad for you, they're just trying to steal your cheese.
Speaker 8 (22:06):
If someone tells you eating less cheese is healthier, they
are one just trying to steal your cheese.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
Think there's a lot of truth to that, but I
don't know cheese about.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Mike was very proud of that that, Like, man, he
really broke the glass on Alex Before we get into
midweek major, I do want to point out one more thing.
Nathaniel Lowe of the Nationals. Nathaniel low his mustache. I
don't even kidding. You don't think if is another new segment,
the weakest mustache of the day. And I'm not hating,
I'm just stating, but he's got like the weakest Clark
(22:44):
Gable pencil stash going on. It's kind of Clark Gable,
but it's also who's that guy.
Speaker 5 (22:51):
John Waters?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
John Waters?
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yeah, it's a John Waters pencil stash. You'll see it
in the highlights later National jer playing the dog. Yeah,
but you're okay with a Yankee Austin Wells mustache. It's
better than this dude's.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah, for sure. It looks like a Wolvers. So that
Peak said, it's a hump day and it's.
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Time Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of

full minutes.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What am I gonna do with all that?
Speaker 5 (23:40):
You hear the horns. You know you've made it to
the middle of the work week.
Speaker 3 (23:43):
Before we hand things over to the number one and
only host of the segment, we like to roll the
two red love dice in the main studio.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh man, sorry, this is to see I'm thinking about
Mike's I was like, what does he mean by gell
the dice?
Speaker 5 (23:57):
Yeah, the winner of the role gets first take.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I rolled ten and Rich roll.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
A a man, you keep losing.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, I'm on a streak man, So Coveno gets to
go first. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous
person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Points New Jersey spotty boy.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
All right, since we're talking about mustached men.
Speaker 4 (24:19):
Actually he just debuted a new beard, Paul Skeen's you know,
has that new bearded look. Has Libby done by his side,
But his gymnast influencer girlfriend revealed that he almost blew
his chance at dating her, and that's for one simple
reason that he didn't follow her back on social media.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Lanet.
Speaker 4 (24:36):
I know the fact that she had like five million
followers meant nothing, but in a GQ interview, she talked
about how they knew each other as Lsu athletes, but
she was hesitant to pursue him because he didn't throw
the follow back. Skeen says it wasn't intentional, he wasn't
active on social media, was very aware of Done, as
everyone else was at the school. But it's possible that
(24:57):
actually the lack of follow made her more interested. She's like,
why is it kind of following me? What everybody else does?
She said, who is this kid? He won't follow me back?
Eventually schemes went master her out and I went public
with their relationship midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I'm not hating.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
I'm just stating again this is uh, this is a
mid story because I just don't get it. But it's
not my job to get it. This guy has the
personality of again I said it yesterday, my wettest sock possible.
But still he pulled her with no follow. It makes
me want to take my follow back. I followed Libby Done.
Speaker 1 (25:29):
I want it back back right now? A chance you
take your follow back? Girl? You know what?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
There is a major lesson though to be learned, and
the major lesson to be learned is like women want
you to ignore them.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I don't know why, but that's the truth. You're explain it.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
This is mid However, however, it worked to his advantage,
not being a fanboy, That's what I'm saying. You know,
you've you've heard many of influencer hottie say, oh they
follow me, they I have fans.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
You don't have fans. People You're people are fans of
your ass. So I think, to be honest, Gymnast in defense,
she's different.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
But I'm saying there are people that are just hot
on social media and when they say my fans are.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Like fans of what your boobs, so to me, I
think not being a fan by work to his advantage.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
And listen, he's busy being a future Hall of Fame
Cy Young Award winner at LSU. Do you think he's
worried about following someone on social media? But then again,
playing hard to get unintentionally seemed to work.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah, you know what, props to him. He played it cool.
I guess can we say, can we say the B word?
Are we about to say that? Well, I'll stick with that.
You know what.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
I was gonna save this for later, but I'll stick
with that theme. If you needed a reason to watch
this year's International Boxing Hall of Fame Parade of Champions,
because I know you were going to be glued into that.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I have two big reasons for you.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
That's because Sydney Sweeney has been named the official Grand
Marshal of the event that will take place in boxing's
hometown of Kennistota, New York, on Sunday, June eighth, Sweeney
most likely taking the honor and promotion of her upcoming
role as female boxer icon Chris Steve Martin, who herself
served as the Grand Marshall back in nineteen ninety six
and was really thrilled that Sweeney was announced. This year's
(27:07):
class of honorees actually includes Manny Pachiow, Vinnie Pause, Kenny Bayliss,
among others.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
Midweek er major.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I'm a boxing fan, so everything about it I think
is mid no. But there's major names involved, right, Vinnie Pazyanza,
Manny Pakia.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
These are all Hall of Fame names.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
And the fact that Sidney Sweeney's playing Christy Martin, I
mean they really, I mean she was good looking for
a boxer. Sidney Sweeney might be the almost best looking
women in Hollywood. Yeah, the total glamour casting. Actually some
of the images look really good. Yes, she really dedicated
herself to boxing. Just to make it more legit and
to make it more realistic. You got to give Sidney
Sweeney credit. It is a glamour casting.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
I think it's a it's a mid story maybe, but
still does it. Speedbags joke in here somewhere that I just.
Speaker 4 (27:51):
Can't find right. Oh you mean you bounced those things
like sugar Ray Leonard. I just one of my two
big reasons joke to oh Spot, can you repeat the
name of that in New York?
Speaker 1 (28:01):
Was it can of soda? No can of soda? Oh okay,
I thought I heard you say can of soda?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Was like, I want to there's too Kansas giant cans
of soda. Lebron James teaming up with Mattel and the
Barbie franchise to be the first quote combassador for the
massively popular doll.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Lebron will be honored for his influence on quote culture,
style and community.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
The doll that's going to be created will be incredibly
detailed with his signature beard, custom jacket, crossbat, body bags, sunglasses, Beats, headphones,
a gold watch, and merged from his foundation, also a
pair of Nikes with phrases scribbled on them. He will
be wearing a hat unfortunately, so we don't know if
the hairline is going to be accurate. The dolls will
be available for seventy five dollars in stores and online
(28:44):
midweek or major.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
This is major.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
I think of the Barbie franchise, how legendary it is.
You combine the franchise with Lebron again, they picked him
because of his style, his community and something else. There
was like a criteria that he met style, community and
something else. Culture, style, community, and Lebron is, you know,
great ambassador to the game in his community. It's a
(29:08):
huge honor the Barbie franchise, like I said, And it's
a cool doll. He's calling it La Ken as a Ken. Yeah,
but is it like does he still wear those like
nude color briefies that the old Ken used to weary
or is it anatomically.
Speaker 1 (29:23):
Correct Listen, I think this is this is major.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
I was talking about this earlier in my Mojo Dojo
Casa House.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Yeah, he has his own Ken, though, he has his
own doll. Barbie, like you said, is a huge brand.
Lebron's one of the biggest stars in the world. I
think it's great. I mean, who does it want action figures.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
You ask any player, any wrestler, any actor, when there's
an action figure, no matter how popular you are.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
That's gotta be a cool.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
It's funny because it just coincides with the current trend
that's going on with social media right now, do chat, GPT,
everybody's creating their own action own figure. If you go
to our social media right now, Covino and Rich in
our Instagram story put our images through AI and he
created like a Cadino and Rich action figure set. And
everybody's been doing that. But Lebron has an actual Barbie
(30:08):
dog coming out. It's cool when you could personalize these things.
I think for Easter, I'm gonna surprise my kids and
get you know that you could design a FUNC to
look like someone. I think it's like thirty or forty bucks.
You could personalize one for your kids.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I don't know. I think it's really cool something you
were never able to do when we were kids.
Speaker 5 (30:23):
All right.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Yankees outfielder Cody Bellinger, I don't know if you saw
this story, says he's officially done with eating chicken wings
after a nasty bout of food poisoning after the Yanks
lost to the Tigers, Monday night in Detroit, Bellinger opted
to chill in his hotel room and watched the NCAA
Men's National Championship. Ordered up some chicken wings from the
hotel without any saucer rubs. Said they were great, but
(30:46):
woke up at four am sweating and throwing up for hours.
Was ruled out of Tuesday nights game due to food poisoning.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Blamed it on the undercook wings. Was back Wednesday.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
He said that he will not eat chicken wings for
at least five years because even just the thought of
it makes it them sick.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
Yeah, it makes me think of every bozo kid is
like I'll never touch tequila or gold slager, Like whatever
made him sick, you always associated with that, so you
stay away from it.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
So I'm waiting for that day that cookies makes me sick,
so I could avoid him for five years. Nobody not
Patrick's moms. Yeah, just not Patrick's moms. This is major.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
I think it's possible to stay away from a food
for a lengthy period of time.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
I have two examples.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I got so trashed off of tequila in college, and
no joke, I dipped away for a good ten years
until I had a Marguerite again in like my mid twenties,
late twenties, and I got sick off of just eating
too many sour cream and onion potato chips.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Is like a preteen like I was eating.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
I must have had like three cans of Pringle sour
cream and onion, didn't touch them for a decade. So
I wouldn't be shocked if Beladru went on a break.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
Can I just chicken wings are too good to give up, though,
even if I got sick off them, like within a year,
I'd be like.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
I need eat.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
I love chicken wings. It's like, but if your memory,
if your memory of them is I adny. Think about
sourdough bread. I didn't eat it for about fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Oh man, all right, well let's go to Dan Bayer.
Thank you midweek Major dB.
Speaker 9 (32:02):
What's somebody, hey, Dan Fellas? We got a walk off
home run in San Francisco. Mike Yastremsky just hit a
two run shot a few minutes ago, propelling the Giants
over the Reds eight to six in ten A busy
busy day in Major League Baseball, Yes, rich day.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
I's gonna say, did you see that adorable clips a?
Speaker 2 (32:21):
Right? Interrupt DV of Stremsky with like one hundred year
old veteran and the guy's like, I used to love
your grandfather.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
It was the most touching moment.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
If you haven't seen this looking up on X or
Instagram or something, it really is. It's like the oldest
old timer and he's thrilled to meet you Stromsky because he's.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Like your Grandpapy. I loved him heartwarm.
Speaker 5 (32:40):
That is cool.
Speaker 9 (32:41):
So the other action of Major League Baseball that was
a walk off variety of the walkoff variety happened in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Joey Barrant knocks in the run and the Pirates can
walk off winners.
Speaker 10 (32:55):
They beat the Cardinals chot A one in thirteen.
Speaker 9 (32:58):
In share this firereks in the daytime. It's got the
same effect today. You win for the Pirates today and
the Pirates Radio network. Marlin's blank the Mets, Sorry, Rich
five nothing. Covino's Yankees of victor against the Tigers four
to three. Rangers beat the cub six to two. Corey
Seeger two home runs. Today, Padres got past the ace
in Sacramento two to one. Diamondbacks blank the Orioles nine
(33:22):
to nothing. Games of Progress right now. Dodgers lead the
Nationals six to five. In the ninth inning, Tascar Hernandez
hitting his fifth home run of the season. Astros lead
the Mariners five nothing in the eighth. Couple of other
headlines to pass along, guys, the NBA rescinded the second
technical given the Lakers guard Luka Doncic last night in
the game against Oklahoma City where he was ejected. Luca
(33:43):
obviously returning tonight to where he played previously, that's in Dallas,
with the Mavericks T shirts saying thank you Luca being
draped on the seats in Dallas. Also, a video message
expected to be played for Luca prior to the game,
soon to be Hall of favorite Dwight Howard's gonna play
in the Big Three. This local ten News in South
Florida say police were called to the home of Dolphins
(34:03):
wide receiver Tyreek Hill on Monday afternoon for what was
described as a domestic dispute between Hill and his wife.
No charges were filed in the matter. And finally, the
twenty twenty eighth Summer Games will feature sixteen women's teams
and twelve men's teams in soccer. That's a switch from
twenty twenty four, when it was the other way around.
The IOC says the change. The change means that more
(34:24):
female athletes will compete in the LA Games than male athletes,
the first time that's happened in the history of the Olympics.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Guys, back to you.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
Thank you, Damn Bayer.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
I don't know if there's any truth to this, Rich,
but I heard that the Dallas Mavericks video message was
a message from Scott Farcas to Luca and it says
cry baby cry, Cry baby Cry.
Speaker 1 (34:50):
And that's still going to play tonight, but we'll see
what happens.
Speaker 5 (34:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Listen, I want to talk about dire wolves and something
that I that's in the news that's wild.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
We'll get to that next.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
But before you go to break, I just want to
point out we keep talking about Otani, Danny g and
how your Dodger is like the guy just looks like
a generational guy that we should just watch every day.
Just show hey the greatness Tanny, your boy Aaron Judge.
I hate to give Yankees' credit, but I just looked
up his stat line. Yeah, told you he's hitting the
ball like Herman Monster three forty one six, six home runs,
(35:20):
eighteen RBIs in the first like two weeks of this
is incredible. It's unbelievable. So keep an eye on Judge too.
Judge is like if he was playing, if Otani didn't exist,
greatest right handed hitter, we'd be talking about we'd be
talking about Aaron Judge every day if Otani didn't exist, insane,
He's still incredible. All right, we got more Kavino on

Speaker 1 (38:22):
But before we go, I know you wanted to talk
about wolves.
Speaker 2 (38:28):
Dire wolves, not just wolves. You know that haven't existed
for ten thousand years. We mentioned this yesterday. I was
getting you could play Game of Thrones music because dire
wolves best known from Game of Thrones. And I bring
that up because do do do a lot of people
didn't know they were real. Yeah, dire wolves are real.
(38:49):
They haven't been around for again. Oh are they related
to the Timberwolves, the Minnesota dire Wolves, the dire wolves.
Oddly enough, scientists have unextincted What is this badass?
Speaker 5 (39:06):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (39:07):
It's the rock out version. This is John Snow at
Open Mic Night picture slash on the mountaintop.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
So diar wolves after ten thousand years, they've been unextincted,
as they say, And.
Speaker 1 (39:21):
Is that really the term unextincted? What do they always say?
Kids say unlived?
Speaker 2 (39:26):
Yeah, they say that because you can't say anything else
on social media. But unextincted, now, that sounds like a
stupid word. Do you show that's the word. It's not
like this is a word we made up, unextincted, undead.
I'm looking at a George R. R. Martin of Game
of Thrones, the creator is actually one of the few
(39:48):
people who has got to see these dire wolves, these
old pups, up close and personal. And he said it's
the greatest thing he's ever seen in his life. And
it sort of makes sense that the guy who in
the books, I know, big Mike, who runs this place.
You know, the guy word's a wisdom. He was saying,
She's guy. He was, Yeah, che's guy.
Speaker 1 (40:06):
He was saying, if you read the books, the diar
wolves play even a bigger role. Oh yeah, I'm not
doing so I'll take Mike's word for it. So George R. R.
Speaker 2 (40:14):
Martin gets to hang and hold these little dire wolves
that have been extinct for ten thousand years. And I
bring this up because the scientists who have done this
are saying, you know, we're going to and have the
ability to do this with a wooly mammoth, the dodo
bird and all these other extinct animals.
Speaker 1 (40:32):
And you got to ask.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
It was just a bird till Rich's ancestors got on
top of it. It's true today we started writing one.
You know, don't don't talk about my ancestors like that.
You know, this very sensitive. So of all these saber
truth tigers, Rich, what would you want to say? But
I'm saying, and by the way, doesn't dismiss with the ecosystem.
My point is if they isolate them in a zoo,
(40:55):
a museum or something. The reality is, haven't we seen
so many movies that warn us of this? Yeah, isn't
it just like ethically wrong. I'm not saying I don't know.
I'm not saying I'm not saying Jurassic Parks I need
to go down. I'm not gonna say Jurassic Park is
gonna happen. What would you want to see? Serious, I'd
want to see a terodactyl. That would be insane. Did
a pterodactyl or sabertoothed tight I'm sorry, a saber tooth tiger,
(41:21):
a t rex of any one of the like you said,
a wooly mammoth.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
But here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (41:28):
Am I just getting way too you know, into movies?
Just to think that pop culture has warned us that
this doesn't end well? Or do you think we could
in museum and zoo form bring back creatures from thousands
of years ago?
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Is a terrible idea or an awesome mind We're doing it?
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Like we often say that, yeah, rock art imitates life,
but there's a lot of times where life imitates art,
and yeah, we've seen it in Jurassic Park.
Speaker 1 (41:57):
It could happen AI.
Speaker 2 (41:59):
We saw it with a I absolutely how that's started
starting to change things We've seen it with like twenty
eight days, viruses and things like that. Keep that in mind.
If the world ends. We warned you today, Ribadecci, Baby,
you in a promised land. Good bad guys.
