I saw a stat It was in meme form, so
(00:24):
I'm sure it's one hundred Percentros means are always dreams.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Are always real, right, guys.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
But something about Daniel Jones in primetime, like he is
ungodly bad and we always give all the slack to
Kirk Cousins and other guys that can't do it. Daniel
Jones apparently is awful on any nationally televised game, whether
it's Sunday Night, Monday night, game of the week, like
Kirk Cousins not so bad, Daniel Jones should be the
(00:53):
one we're saying it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I think he's like one to ten in national games, so.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It stands out a lot more after that fat contract.
Expected a lot more from him this year and so
far in No Bueno one hundred and thirty seven yards
one I n t no tuddies, So yeah, the Giants
are just weak. That's really it's you got a really
good you got a great team who played Okay, they
played good against a really bad team. It didn't play well,
so it looked lopside. But if you watch that game,
(01:19):
they weren't even dominant. Danny g and I had one
of the same observations. Al Michael still calls a hell
of a game. I love his voice. It's synonymous with
important football to me. But there was a point where
they went to al Michaels during like an injury time out,
and he's like, I got enough, yeah, and he looked aggravated.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Do you feel like it was.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
A looked He looked down, and he looked aft. He
looked upset. He was visibly upset.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Maybe he was thinking about the Roman Empire and was
caught off gone. He looked visibly like, what do you
want me to fill with? Go to commercial leadalking I'm
al Michaels. It was like, well, we got a player
down on the field, and let me tell you the Niners.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Hey this weekend, it's fall baby deck great for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
He looked at he looked at Herb Street and he
was sort of like you're right.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He gave a you got a fill yeah, and then
he said your niners had won four Super Bowls And
he had to correct himself when they came back from commercials,
and he sounded really put out about correcting himself.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's so bad. He's like, son, I'm just going to
progressive commercial. He looked angry.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But I still think Danny, I still think he has it.
It's just in those moments that's where, like, I guess,
grumpy guy comes out. But we all get grumpier as
we get older. But it was a visible grumpy Olt
Michaels because it's like this game ain't that good, and
he was trying to I think he thought, you know,
when they go to booth for the one and because
it wasn't just his voice, they go to the camera
shot in the booth and the guy in the field
(02:44):
I think took longer than expected to get up. Was
it when Debo got banged up? I think it was
a different injury. It was when that guy in the Cowboys, Okay,
they snapped his and he thought they were kicking it
back to the field, and yeah, grumpy Olt Michaels.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'm sure people were tweeting about it last night.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Any other observations, by all means, the most interactive, most
inclusive show on radio, Love Hanging and Talking to you
Fox Sports Radio Nation. Give us a ring eight seven
to seven ninety nine on Fox, or hit us up
on social media at Covino and Rich eight seven to
seven ninety nine on Fox again talking about Giants, forty
nine ers yesterday and lots more to get to. I
(03:19):
can't wait to talk about Steven a because I know
he's handling this like a good sport, but he should
be even more embarrassed. And we'll get to that, all right. Well, Hey,
besides the Niners last night three to zero, a nice start,
real nice Kyle Shanahan and can't get better and John Lynch,
as Dan Byer said in the update, well deserved. They
they are doing a fine job running this organization. And
(03:43):
you just need to eventually win a Super Bowl. As
a Niners fan, everyone loves to think like, oh Niners,
you know, yeah, been there, done that, but a long
long time ago. I'm in my early forties. I was
in high school when the forty nine Ers won the
Super Bowl. Everyone loves to think of, oh, your Niners, Oh,
they've been great. Ninety four ninety five was when Steve
(04:04):
Young got the quote monkey off his back in the
shadow of Joe Montana. Now, PROC Party's going to take
you to the promise Lane was ninety four ninety five.
We're talking about, dude, that's almost thirty years ago. So
if you're in your early forties now, like i am,
you were a teen. You were a young teenage boy
trying to kiss a girl for the first time when
(04:25):
the Niners won the Super Bowl last time. So this
is not like a you know, they won five Super Bowls,
but it's been a minute. And the Cowboys too, a
great franchise, been a minute. Eagles, yeah, they won with
Folls a couple of years back. But as far as
the NFC goes, Cowboys, Niners, it's a it's like a
flashback to our childhood.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
We keep thinking these teams. You know, it's been a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Proc Party again was with his eighth win as a
starting quarterback row.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'll say nine.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, it really was. We were at that game. We
were at the game where Gromppolo got injured. Take that
away from him. It's bs.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It really is fine.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The game where Garoppolo went down start the game, he
went down.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm like, what the first quarter it was? I believe
that was frost quarters early in the game. Brock Perty's game.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So when they say, oh, he won eight in a
row in the regular season, he won nine in our
brock that was brock Party's game. But Tom Zach is
next with ten in a row and the longest streak,
I think is pretty common common knowledge. Ben Roethlisberger with
fifteen in a row to start his NFL career insane.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So he's in great company, man, true. All right, now
I have a complaint that's not football related or sports related.
I just throw it out there and just get off
my mind. We can move on. Sure, we'll get the
first pitches and Steve and Jets. I know you want
to file a complaint, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Every Friday morning, it's my only time when my wife
and I get to actually enjoy each other's company, go
out for a little breakfast and a cup of coffee, oh,
and enjoy each other's company. It's our only time when
there's no kids and I'm not like working three jobs.
Sounds like somebody's getting it on Friday morning. Friday morning,
Friday's a special day for me. What can I say?
You come in here all excited with a little pep
(06:04):
in your stead. I'm on my hustle like you are,
so every day between that and kids, and this is
our only day. Okay, we're sitting at breakfast. I get
this nice little eggs and bacon everything. My biggest complaint
when restaurants bring you ice cold butter. I don't know
why it bothers.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Me so much.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You get warm toast, but you get you know, I'm
not but butter sau but it does come from let's
talk about but we're quoting Gary Doozy, the maniac known
as Gary Busey.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He's not actually him, but I don't want to but
I don't want to accept that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So I don't get how they bring you toast and
they bring you a little ramikin of like a scoop
of hard ass, almost like frozen butter.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Why who wants cold butter? I don't. I can't understand
this restaurant tactic for the life of me. If the
toast is warm and the butter cold.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No what you're saying itads but doesn't No, but spot
the problem is they also never toast the bread all
the way.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Hold on When Rich was talking about spreads, I thought
he meant football. I didn't know he meant about his
toast or my morning.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You have to be jim nance with a picture of
the toast from your wife on how to toast it properly,
because they basically bring you just a piece of bread.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's like bread.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They putting the toaster for like thirty seconds and then
they bring you scripe. After your team just dominated last night,
life's pretty good for you. I think what we're learning
here is when you get some action on a Friday morning,
your team wins, right, you're feeling good about the weekend.
You still have to find something to complain about. Yeah, dude,
(07:48):
this is if there. I could promise you. There are
and women in their cars on the app wherever they're
listening right now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
They're pointing right yo.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Rich Davis, this mother effort is onto something as all.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know what he is onto it?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Man, You are right, It's just it's just a point.
It's a nice place to I'll give it up. I'll
give you the place I love the place, Marmalade Cafe
and Calabasas. They give me this nice little scramble with
bacon and avocado and egg like a nice scramble and.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The scramble better than pretty scramble? Is that true? I
did Wow, they got.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
The skillet scrambled bowl and they bring me toast with
ice cold butter, and I'm like, can't spread it?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Like, how do you spread right? How do you want?
You get buttered toast? I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You have clumps of butter. Now it ruins your whole breakfast.
You know who's good with their butter? I feel bad
for you. I hop it's like whipped soft butter. That
is the breakfast butter.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Danny G Yeah, that's good. And she's cake factory.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
She's cake factory.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Got that all with that nice warm brown bread, sweet
brown bread.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I know, Damn Buyer's feeling me too. Who wants cold butter? Dan?
On morning?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Breakfast toast when you got your eggs and nobody he
wants cold butter.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Here's your rammik in of butter. Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I do want to give context to this conversation. Rich
said it, but I want to come up. Friday is
the only day of the week where we don't do
our Patreon show, our show before this show, so we
have the morning and you want to enjoy it. Every
day Monday through Friday, we're doing Fox Sports Radio or
I record myself at you for Serious x AM. We
do our additional podcast Friday morning is my loan, like ah,
(09:19):
sort of like a morning off, hang out with my wife,
do a little something around the house, and then I
get breakfast. I don't want cold butter man, all right,
sound like a little beach. I'm my apologies.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's a great point, it is.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No one wants cold butter all right. Well, hey, your feedback.
We got people calling about everything from the Bears to
Taylor Ham, to the Jets to butter. So the game
last all your feedback, your phone calls. We love the interaction.
It's a Friday Cavino and Rich, Derek in Jersey. You're
on Cavino and Rich. What's up, Derek?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
This is Derek from Union County. So I'm kind of
on the border between the tailor Ham and pork Row,
and I think it's a really simple solution that we
just need to all agree on. If you're north of
root one and nine, it's Taylor Ham. It comes in
a thin slice, red box, and that's what it is.
Down South Jersey. It's pork roll and you cut the
log as stick as you want to cut it, and
(10:15):
that's the difference. It's all the same stuff. And I've
checked this with many people. That's all I got.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Hey, thanks Derek.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I'm from Union, New Jersey, also from Union County, plans
and spots for Scotch plains and it is absolutely Tailor Ham.
And when you're eating your breakfast, you enjoy it and
you get that nice soft melted butter with your toast.
You know, it's interesting because Taylor Ham is a breakfast
meat that the rest of the world is deprived of. Hey, listen,
(10:43):
like you know, in the South you get some nice grits.
You don't get nice grits with your breakfast other places.
It's odd how some of these things stick regionally. There
are people listening right now, have no cool what Taylor
Ham is. Love Taylor Ham. It's a breakfast meat. Breakfast meat,
not Canadian, invented by John Taylor of Trenton.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Not John Taylor.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The forty nine ers receivement the record, okay, was the
Duran Duran bassists, not him either, Another John Taylor.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So many John Taylor's.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Can we take one more phone, cool y, What's nine
on Fox? And your observations from last night's game. It
was a It was a decent one, good one for
rich Again, he had some money on it. He had
a nice pick on it. So I hope you enjoyed it.
What's up, Jim?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Man?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Jim in North Carolina?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, in the middle of a tropical storm right now,
enjoying it.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Loving it.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
So the show. The storm is making the show even better.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Stay safe, vice versa.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
So I want to talk about the butter for a second.
And the Bears.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Yes, they they only use cold butter because they can't
whip anything, you know, tam.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That truth, and Justin Fields is not gonna blame it
on anyone because he's not a finger pointer.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So he'll he'll just accept the cold butter.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And everyone's backing him up that he's a finger What
bummer for the Bears is this? The bummer for the
Bears is they're zero to two and Justin Fields has
been a shell of what we thought he might even
advance it because he showed signs of like, oh, next
year is gonna be the year. This team was losing games,
but they were close and he's showing. He showed signs
of like greatness. He took a step back right now.
(12:21):
And when you're trying to correct an oh and two start,
guess what you don't want to bump into. You don't
want to bump into mahomes In casey, it's like the
worst timing for this team to try to turn things around.
So there'll be only three and that's unfortunately how it is.
Now we're going to get the rest of your phone
calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But
we also have to talk about Steven A.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
There was a tale of two first pitches yesterday. Tale
of two first pitches. One was great, one was disastrous. Yeah,
that's great and all, but more people want to talk
about Bud. I know who knew this would be the
hot topic of the Rich You're on in Texas?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So what's going on? Buddy?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
What ut Rich?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Hold on? Rich? Rich? You A'll have and Rich show.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Hey, guys can totally relate to the butter thing. I'm
from Michigan. Originally I moved to Texas and met my wife.
She's started serving cold butter. The only thing to find
that I've ever taught my wife like you got to
have a butter dish so you can set it out
and leave the butter out so it's fopps and you
can spread it well. Otherwise it's just terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah again, I'm good. This is the biggest takeaway.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Hey, Rich, why don't you like yelp review it and
just complain about it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm not a snitch people that leave bed yelp.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Review It was extremely discipplined. I agree with our pal
comedian Sebastian Man of Scalco. Leaving negative Yelp reviews is
the equivalent of being a little tattletale bee, Like what
are you?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What are you snitching? Like the salmon? I don't like
their eggs.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You're trying to make a difference. You know, it's one restaurant,
one breakfast spot at a time.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
If you like warm butter, this isn't the plate for you.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Mason and Stocked and wrap this up and we'll go
and buy for an update. What's up, Stocking?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
What's up? Fellows?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
That?
Speaker 6 (14:06):
I just want to tell you guys about the ie
hot butter. That's not a it's not really a butter
per se. When I used to work there, we would, uh,
we'd put a margarine, probably seventy regular butter, and we
whip it in the Hobart.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
You know what, what are you gonna tell me next
movie theater? Butter is not real? Also, do they put
pancake batter in their eggs? They do?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I'm pretty sure they do. I've read that before. Yeah,
but we love some I hop not everybody plays. Not
every place could be I hop rich, yeah, or waffle
house or waffle house. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed
your breakfast on this Friday. I hope you enjoy your
breakfast and all your football this weekend. We got to
get to an update. We're Covino and Rich. What's up?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Dan, Bayer and Buyer?
Speaker 8 (14:47):
You know there is an alternative of that, and that's
when the butter is just sitting on the shelf of
our restaurant. You know what football fans look out comes
some some stale butter. Yes, you know where. It hasn't
touched a refrigerator in weeks. It's just sitting in the
and then it comes out and it just pours out.
(15:07):
There's that alternative as well.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Don't want to bring I just thought of a solution though, Sorry, Dan,
don't you just bring one of those old spray things.
If you can't believe it's not butter, I just bring yes,
doesn't Beyonce bring like Chilula hot sauce everywhere she goes.
I'll be I'll be the guy that brings his own butter.
B yob Yeah, be your thing, Put it in the hole.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Star and bring it to ihop wherever you go. The
only thing that went wrong with the forty nine Ers
last night was Deebo. Samuel did return to the game.
Kyle Shanahan said today day to day with sore ribs,
says he's pretty sore today. Helps that they have the
extra time. Niners, by the way, gave head coach Kyle
Shanahan and GM John Lynch multi year contract extensions. Believer
(15:46):
Sean Doolittle announced his retirement today after eleven seasons. Solheim
Cup US leads a year up five to three after
Day one, Ryder.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Cup taking place next week.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Guys, back to you, who would have ever thunk the
Cubs in Marlin would be fighting for the final while.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
With the Reds with the rights, you know, right on
their tails.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I feel like if you go back and listen,
as Warner Wolf would say, let's go to the video tape.
If we went back to the video tape, everyone in
this room probably would have said, well, the NL situation's
pretty clear. It'll be uh, you know, Braves, Mets, Phillies,
one team from the Central and then out west you
got the Dodgers and probably the Paul Dreys. Like we
(16:28):
thought we knew everything and the NL all these young,
low payroll teams have emerged.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, it's sad because the first time I really haven't
cared that much this time of the year as a
Yankees fan.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
However, and I told this to Ryan Berschinger a couple
of days ago. Take a look at the Padres schedule.
The last week, they are playing some of the worst
baseball teams there are. They're in a seven game win streak.
There are four games out of the wild card spot.
There is a slight, very more than slight chance they
could sneak into that last wild card spot. They are
(17:02):
playing the Rockies, the Chicago White Sox, and the Giants.
That is just ad teams.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
John, by the way, I also mentioned this to me,
but I wasn't worth mentioning that he only told us
to Ryan Berschinger, but he did also tell me the
same thing. Sorry, Like I literally set it to my face. Hey,
market down, and then we had a whole other conversation.
Al Brent Musburger used to always say mark it down
at this year.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You're right, Dad, but bursh not, you shut up.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
The point was the padres. That was the point.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 10 (17:49):
It's me three time Pro Bowl of LeVar Harrington, and
I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called
Up on Game?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 10 (17:57):
You asked, along with my fellow Pro Bowl TJ. Hutschman,
Zada and Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be

wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
How about how about that now? Covino. That is rich.
We have.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Some possible breaking news coming up in a few minutes
in the world of sports and entertainment, But first, let's
talk about this gratol mom story because it's heartfelt and
it sort of goes along with an equally embarrassing story.
So it's like, heartfelt story, embarrassing story. Well, apparently he
hadn't seen his mom in seven years because his family's
in Venezuela and you may have seen him have a
(19:03):
one two three inning. Your parents are in New Jersey
and they haven't been out here in seven years. That's true, Yeah,
is true? Like mom, that is true. Graderoal's mom is
in Venezuela and she came to see him, came to
see him had a one two three inning, and it
was kind of cool because the reunion was like, Wow,
I'm watching my son pitch in the big leagues. And
you may have seen the clip of her cheering in
(19:24):
the stands. Yeah, and he's like pointing at her and
it's a very proud, heartwarming moment. But what got lost
in that story and lost in the mix was the
fact that his mom threw out the first pitch and
you could see where he gets.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It from do you have the first pitch? Listen to this.
It was so cool to see do we have the
first pitch? Daddy?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
You know what Ramos left out on the system here,
so we'll get that here for you.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, like I said, we had to go to the
bench and call Alex out there. Alex is the best
in the biz. But it was a story that got
lost in the mix because Stephen A. Smith also threw
out a first pitch at Yankee Stadium and from the
get go, Actually the truth is, my dad hit me
up first. And my dad, you know, he's like a
(20:12):
no BS East Coast kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Man, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Stephen A Smith, Steven A Smith, he calls himself a
sports guy.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And remember Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Smith got on Max Kellerman recently publicly about not being
an athlete and blah blah blah. Right, yeah, he gets
out there and he botches the first pitch at the
Yankee game. But my dad, the first time I heard
about it before it went viral, before you know, social
media went crazy with it, before it became a huge story.
My dad was like, man, you being married. I didn't
(20:47):
even know what he was talking about. He's just being
married with that one. So because that hogged up so
much of the attention, so much of the media, you
may have missed Granderole's mom with the strike.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
For tonight's ceremonial first pitch.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
We're very pleased to welcome to Dodger Stadi once again.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Roosstar Grado's mom East Maria. We know where he gets it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Great, John, he's Maria, he said, Now we know where
he gets it.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
She throws heat for a strike like a legit first
pitch by like from the mound.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's the thing, so is Malia.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Like you see a lot of people most recently, I
think like Mina Kimes threw out a first pitch that
kind of went viral, but she did it like in
front of the mound. A lot of people choose that,
and that's fine too.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
No, I'm with you, Rich, If I have the honor
and privilege, I'm getting on that mound. Sometimes the pitcher
who scheduled to throw does not want anyone touch in
the mound. That's also an issue. But if you're gonna
throw the first pitch and you have a choice, you
go on the mounth So is Malia you know, proud moment.
She's a baseball mom.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
She's a former softball player.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
But she threw an overhand. She did strike a major
a little bit of a side arm in there. Yeah,
sixty feet six inches strike strike one. So no one
really saw that because everyone's talking stephen A.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Smith. They clocked it at ninety miles per hour.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, rock, dude, I'm like, get out of here.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
No. But you know what, Danny, I do think that
watching someone throw out a first pitch is so reflective
of how they were growing up and who they became
as an adult, because.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I I think about, like, you know, my.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
My mom and dad were both athletic when I was younger. They,
you know, coaching Little league and helping out and doing things.
You think as a guy in his forties, you don't
think you throw a strike.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I know, I throw a strike. I know it. Yeah,
I know it.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I mean I don't think I don't even consider that bragging. Yeah,
of course I would. But I'm saying, like we're making
it seem like it's something different.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Cult.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now, listen, I'm not a you know, give me something
you're not. Yeah, you never played tennis, right, so if
you never played tennis. Who I'd be like, if there
was a ceremonial return this serve, you'd be like, oh man,
I'm screwed. So anyone that played high school, college, any
level of baseball isn't an embarrassing thought to anything that
could get to you or getting your way. Here's nerves,
(23:22):
that's it, right, So of course I'm capable, but nerves.
And that's what steven A is attributing this to. And
we'll get to that. But you don't think though that
anyone that played any level of baseball high school, college
into mural is a twenty something year old. You could
be an old man, but you still have the mechanics
to throw a ball. It's not like to me, I'm
not saying throw a forty yard spiral. If you threw
(23:43):
a duck, Oh yeah, you had a bad throw. Who
can't throw on a line.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
To the catcher.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I gotta say, it's super embarrassing when you're as as
bold as he is and as critical as he is
to get out there and not throw a strike. Cowboys,
Cowboys fans must have left. Oh yeah, exactly. And he's
been a good sport about it. But he we're here
to say he should probably be a little more embarrassed. Okay,
(24:10):
is it and is it understandable to some people or
should he be more embarrassed? A seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. I know he's embarrassed from the start, though,
rich he throws on a Jeter jersey. He comes out
with a button down collared shirt, like from the get go,
just optically visually, I'm like, this is a bad look.
Why does he have a jersey on top? You were
(24:31):
a button down? Yes, I noticed it. I noticed that
it looks silly. He had a jersey on top of
a button down that's coming.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It was noticeable, and he were talking about it all
day on ESPN, and it's something that I also picked
up on. It looked dumb, It looked uncomfortable. They're you
gonna go out there for all those people, you want
to throw a strike? You better you better be comfortable.
And he blew it. He blow, he said, and he
said the lights are too bright. And once he got
on that mound, he says his ten inches higher. I
(25:02):
believe it's a little higher than that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
He kept saying that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He goes, but once he got on that mound, guys,
it seemed like a mile away and the lights are
too bright, and he admitted he choked. So you know,
does that does that mean maybe he should be less critical? No?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Do you think understandable? No? No, no.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Do you think in those moments? In those moments, do
you feel like you would freeze? And do you feel
like you don't want those opportunities because you don't want
to see what would happen?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
A little of both.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I'd like to believe I played baseball long enough to
be able to throw at least to the catcher, not
a perfect strike like our president.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Remember that. That was awesome. That was the best one
all time.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, when George Bush did that after nine to eleven,
that was incredible. Again, when you factor in the moment
and everybody watching, and he was wearing a kevlar, you know,
bulletproof thing underneath. I think I'd be able to do it, right,
I really do. I mean, of course it's nerve racking,
but I would be able to do it. I look
at it this way. Look at some of the worst
(26:06):
first pitches. Were you expecting much from fittycent Mariah Carey
Baba Booie from The Howard Stern Show. Our buddy, Gary delabatemparison.
He's a big Mets fan. He waited his whole life
to do it, and that one moment they've invited him back.
But I think he sorted then he said yeah, but
Gary not old and boisterous as a steven A. That's
what makes this even a bigger story, you know. I mean,
(26:28):
then you got to ask yourself. I don't want to
harp on this, but then you got to ask yourself,
to what degree do you throw the ball? Like Danny
if you get on the mound right like I'm thinking,
I'm not a star player, but if you're actively playing,
like even softball as a grown man, you're throwing a
ball every week, it's a baseball softball different. I get that,
(26:49):
But do you look like more of an ass if
you get up there and try to.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Throw some heat and throw a bad pitch? Do you
throw like a soft pitch in there.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Trying to make sure money? You should ask because.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
My instinct would be like if I got up there,
my instinct would be like, why you know, this is
a one time opportunity. I'm gonna try to throw the ball.
I'm gonna throw some heat. Then if I then I'd
be nervous, like, oh, I wouldn't try to throw heat. Look,
everyone's gonna have a different approach. It looked like Steven
Ain't never threw a ball ever. I know he's a
basketball dude, but it looked like he never threw over.
That's why I was shocked, because I feel like, as
(27:21):
a dude, every guy daydreams about that.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Every I notice.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Probably is wrong in today's world, especially, but you could
judge another dude by the way he throws. And I'm like,
it looks like he never threw ever. And Danny g
I know you have a story about our very own
Ben Malley, right, tell us the story.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I don't know it, and you just you just don't
want the ball to bounce, right, Like that's the biggest
pressure on you. I think. So we got there. They're
showing it on the screens right now. The Stephen ag.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, dude, maybe like a mechanic.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
On the MLB network right now.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, they did a computerized breakdown of his arm angle.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
His arm missed it, but he bounced it by maybe
forty feet.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
If that guy showed up to play ball with my
team on a random softball game, we'd be like Yo,
this guy's got no skills.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's a bad throw. He has never thrown a baseball,
and look they're showing it back.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
They listened to our first hour.
Speaker 11 (28:17):
Not that this would ever happen, but I know if
I was given the opportunity to do a first pitch,
I would probably lob it, but I would still aim
like I would still get to the home plate.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah, you don't know, I can throw, you know, Stephen,
I thought that. I think he was trying to throw heat.
I think that's the problem.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Though.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
He would do the ball thirty miles an hour. He
was trying to thin.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
He was cry he was that's horrible.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'll admit something. He's saying. It's a change.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Before you finished the Ben Mallis, I've said the story
once on the air. I'm more of a baseball guy
than a basketball guy. When I was in college, I
went to Syracuse. They randomly selected my seat. I'm telling
you like, it was like if you were sitting in
section on Roddy called your name, dude, come on down
a new car. They called my seat in the student section.
(29:03):
If you're in Section one, ten, Row sixteen, seat five.
I'm like, holy craft, that's me. I got thirty seconds
from the three point line. Everyone was like one hundred dollars.
I'll be the first to admit I ended up winning
a couple hundred dollars my first two air balls. Because
(29:25):
it's a glass backboard with students and fans behind you.
You played basketball, but guess what you played basketball the park,
the gym, you know, like the school with usure's different,
like in high school there's like it's not there's no
one behind the backboard unless you go to like a
really high end school. I had never shot a basketball
where it was a glass backboard where fans were moving
(29:48):
behind the differences.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Here, you're just a goofy student. Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Smith is a big time loudmouth. Event eventually I got
the person. You know, it's like death perception because it's
but first pitch. Maybe I get a minor league team
to do this at first. I don't think calling the
Dodgers is our best bet right now, but I'd like
to see how you and I do.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Tell us what Ben Mallard.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, I was gonna say it was a minor league team,
the Blaze, who are now defunct, and Ben likes to
joke that we shut the team down. They invited the
Ben Mallord Show crew to throw out the first pitches.
Now Ben hyped us up to where he made it
a Mallard meet and greet. There was probably a good
one hundred listeners there at the show, and that put
(30:33):
extra pressure on us because the Mallard and militia were
chanting our names as we were standing there on the
mount and and so I'm feeling extra tight, and I
was like, rich law, I wanted to throw some heat. Okay,
So Mallard goes first. He threw a lollipop.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
All right, now that's a that's an easy way out.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yes, now it was a strike, but it was a
total phil Necro pitch. It was a lollipop he gave.
He gave you an r a dicky. Yeah, theis so.
Then Eddie Garcia on his updates, he comes up. He
throws a curveball outside. But it was a decent pitch.
(31:11):
Then it's my turn. I come up, and I'm like, man,
these guys are throwing lollipops. Let me throw some gas.
I threw a very good well, it wasn't a strike.
I threw some heat, but it was way over the
pitcher's head and it hit the solid wood. Uh yes,
(31:34):
oh yeah, oh yeah, And it was my Ricky wild
Thing Vaughan moment because dude, it was major heat but
it was nowhere near a strike. So people are clapping
and everything, and the announcer was like, well, he threw
some heat at least. And then it's Coop's turn, the
producer of Ben Maller. He gets up and he bounces it.
He threw a stephen a and so that kind of
(31:56):
was the shield for all of us because everybody went
away talking about Coops.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh so you got off the hook. Yeah that one.
No one cared about you. But you know us about
the nerves for that.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
But based on what Danny g just said, he talked
about four different dudes getting a chance to do a
first pitch with the with the show, everyone had a
different approach. One guy's like I'm gonna lob it in
and play it safe. Danny's like I'm throwing heat. The
other dude's like, I'm gonna throw a curveball because if
I mess up, I could jokingly be like I was
trying to throw a curveball, and then the balance like
(32:26):
there was four different results.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I'm going full Quizonberry if I get the shot.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
You know, there is video of Danny G's first pitch, yeah,
on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
So actually I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I can't wait to see this. I gotta see this now,
Danny G. Were you nervous though?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I was, and and you know, I didn't want to
throw a lollipop, so that was my thinking. But it
just it easily got away from me. Yeah, but it
was still it was a fun experience. But I could
understand why steven A would be tight, like that Yankee
Stadium where oh.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, Jersey. Yeah, the lights. I could see the stress.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
But and if I had, if I had to do
it again, I would go with the breaking ball. I
would I would like, just throw a strike over the plate.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
It's humbling and we're talking smack because he was a
good sport about it too.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
He was.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He's taking it on the chin and look, I get it.
He's under the bright lights. He's not a baseball player.
It's not as easy as it looks. And let's see,
all right, here we go, he's okay.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
The high heat.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
My god, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, and see if you can find coops on there.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, you know what, Well, we'll try to post that
at coving On rich on our Instagram story.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
The mound does mess with you though, Like you talked
about the depth perception, like when you're on a mound,
you're standing. It may not be that big, but that's
what I would think that if you're stephen A in
that scenario, you're thinking you're having to keep it low.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, I can understand, you know how that happens. But again,
when you're Steve in A, you can can't let that
happen because you know you're gonna get it. He's getting
it big time. We're gonna get into weekend hobnobbing, but
before we do, we're gonna do some healthy living trivia
(34:13):
because there's a beef that we need to address here
in the studio on Fox Sports Radio. And it's brought
to you by Progressiveness. Oh okay, and it's between Spot,
who does all of our videos, our longtime.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Palse Spot, who's a beefcake.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Spot's the guy that was not in shape his whole
life and then became a gym rat.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
But maybe a point where health is priority.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, but like you know, he's posting like Jim selfie's
good reason Rich, he's muscleboy, muscle boy Spot again. All
of our videos he produces them at Covino and Rich
and Alex who's in the studio, so it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
He's filming it for Ramos. But everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Alex tight Shirt, Alex who just I mean he wears
a wife pleaser around the hallways because he's ripped.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, he's ripped. Like Jesus. He runs a shover day
for the odd couple. Always cold to you, Alex.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
So Danny G said, you know what, I'm gonna take
it upon myself to do some better living trivia questions.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Here is your healthy living trivia on the fly.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Can I just give you what made me? Because the
stay in the hallway, Ty Shirt and Spot.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Roll with their eyes. You He rolled their eyes.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
At each other every day because each guy thinks they
have the healthiest option answer.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Ty Shirt was washing off his fruits and vegetables for
his famous Fox Sports radio shakes he makes every day,
and he's like, oh, Rich, look at this. There was
a tiny little caterpillar, a little a little caterpillar.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
On his berries.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
And he goes Oh, that means it's good because a
caterpillar wouldn't beyond fruit of vegetables that had pesticides, which
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
And then spot us down.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
The hallway and he's like Jesus, this guy.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
All right, let's say who knows more?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, let's find out.
Speaker 2 (35:55):

For your heart, bad for your heart. Partially hydrogenated oils
are hor Alex.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Was laughing, though he knew immediately that Alex's first those
who would even eat such things. That was a very
condescending laugh. That was the same laugh that was the
same left Tom Brady gave a reporter once when they
asked him about his wardrobe, and he's like, you you.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Questioning me, I'm Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
All right, spy, don't eat fruits and nuts is on
the board. Here we go. Number two. How do fruits
and vegetables help prevent heart disease? A protecting arteries from injury,
B by lowering cholesterol levels, C by lowering blood pressure
or D all of the above, all of the above?
Oh yes, Spot, sweeping things up right now. I feel
(37:20):
like these are stacked in my favor.

Oh no, I'm enjoying. It's like I'm not going to
be I'm happy to hear you knows stuff.

Speaker 12 (37:33):
Gonna be like I thought it was gonna be like breast,
you know, just under his peas and rice here the
whole time.

For another.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Another competition, A tough question, all right, Question three? You
should have no more than blank tea spoon or spoons
of sodium a day A half, B one or C two.

Spot, Spot, I want to say one yes, correct answer.
Does that make it would be half because I'm supposed
to have half the amount it recommended amount.
Speaker 12 (38:08):
But well, rowand would know that Celtic sea salt is
the best type of sodium.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's okay, I'll wait for a better question again. What
I feel like We're gonna have to just do this again?

I saw a stat It was in meme form, so
(00:24):
I'm sure it's one hundred Percentros means are always dreams.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Are always real, right, guys.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
But something about Daniel Jones in primetime, like he is
ungodly bad and we always give all the slack to
Kirk Cousins and other guys that can't do it. Daniel
Jones apparently is awful on any nationally televised game, whether
it's Sunday Night, Monday night, game of the week, like
Kirk Cousins not so bad, Daniel Jones should be the
(00:53):
one we're saying it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
I think he's like one to ten in national games, so.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
It stands out a lot more after that fat contract.
Expected a lot more from him this year and so
far in No Bueno one hundred and thirty seven yards
one I n t no tuddies, So yeah, the Giants
are just weak. That's really it's you got a really
good you got a great team who played Okay, they
played good against a really bad team. It didn't play well,
so it looked lopside. But if you watch that game,
(01:19):
they weren't even dominant. Danny g and I had one
of the same observations. Al Michael still calls a hell
of a game. I love his voice. It's synonymous with
important football to me. But there was a point where
they went to al Michaels during like an injury time out,
and he's like, I got enough, yeah, and he looked aggravated.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Do you feel like it was.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
A looked He looked down, and he looked aft. He
looked upset. He was visibly upset.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Maybe he was thinking about the Roman Empire and was
caught off gone. He looked visibly like, what do you
want me to fill with? Go to commercial leadalking I'm
al Michaels. It was like, well, we got a player
down on the field, and let me tell you the Niners.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
A little bit.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Hey this weekend, it's fall baby deck great for Halloween.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
He looked at he looked at Herb Street and he
was sort of like you're right.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
He gave a you got a fill yeah, and then
he said your niners had won four Super Bowls And
he had to correct himself when they came back from commercials,
and he sounded really put out about correcting himself.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
That's so bad. He's like, son, I'm just going to
progressive commercial. He looked angry.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
But I still think Danny, I still think he has it.
It's just in those moments that's where, like, I guess,
grumpy guy comes out. But we all get grumpier as
we get older. But it was a visible grumpy Olt
Michaels because it's like this game ain't that good, and
he was trying to I think he thought, you know,
when they go to booth for the one and because
it wasn't just his voice, they go to the camera
shot in the booth and the guy in the field
(02:44):
I think took longer than expected to get up. Was
it when Debo got banged up? I think it was
a different injury. It was when that guy in the Cowboys, Okay,
they snapped his and he thought they were kicking it
back to the field, and yeah, grumpy Olt Michaels.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'm sure people were tweeting about it last night.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Any other observations, by all means, the most interactive, most
inclusive show on radio, Love Hanging and Talking to you
Fox Sports Radio Nation. Give us a ring eight seven
to seven ninety nine on Fox, or hit us up
on social media at Covino and Rich eight seven to
seven ninety nine on Fox again talking about Giants, forty
nine ers yesterday and lots more to get to. I
(03:19):
can't wait to talk about Steven a because I know
he's handling this like a good sport, but he should
be even more embarrassed. And we'll get to that, all right. Well, Hey,
besides the Niners last night three to zero, a nice start,
real nice Kyle Shanahan and can't get better and John Lynch,
as Dan Byer said in the update, well deserved. They
they are doing a fine job running this organization. And
(03:43):
you just need to eventually win a Super Bowl. As
a Niners fan, everyone loves to think like, oh Niners,
you know, yeah, been there, done that, but a long
long time ago. I'm in my early forties. I was
in high school when the forty nine Ers won the
Super Bowl. Everyone loves to think of, oh, your Niners, Oh,
they've been great. Ninety four ninety five was when Steve
(04:04):
Young got the quote monkey off his back in the
shadow of Joe Montana. Now, PROC Party's going to take
you to the promise Lane was ninety four ninety five.
We're talking about, dude, that's almost thirty years ago. So
if you're in your early forties now, like i am,
you were a teen. You were a young teenage boy
trying to kiss a girl for the first time when
(04:25):
the Niners won the Super Bowl last time. So this
is not like a you know, they won five Super Bowls,
but it's been a minute. And the Cowboys too, a
great franchise, been a minute. Eagles, yeah, they won with
Folls a couple of years back. But as far as
the NFC goes, Cowboys, Niners, it's a it's like a
flashback to our childhood.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
We keep thinking these teams. You know, it's been a minute.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Proc Party again was with his eighth win as a
starting quarterback row.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'll say nine.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Yeah, it really was. We were at that game. We
were at the game where Gromppolo got injured. Take that
away from him. It's bs.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It really is fine.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
The game where Garoppolo went down start the game, he
went down.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm like, what the first quarter it was? I believe
that was frost quarters early in the game. Brock Perty's game.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
So when they say, oh, he won eight in a
row in the regular season, he won nine in our
brock that was brock Party's game. But Tom Zach is
next with ten in a row and the longest streak,
I think is pretty common common knowledge. Ben Roethlisberger with
fifteen in a row to start his NFL career insane.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So he's in great company, man, true. All right, now
I have a complaint that's not football related or sports related.
I just throw it out there and just get off
my mind. We can move on. Sure, we'll get the
first pitches and Steve and Jets. I know you want
to file a complaint, go ahead.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Every Friday morning, it's my only time when my wife
and I get to actually enjoy each other's company, go
out for a little breakfast and a cup of coffee, oh,
and enjoy each other's company. It's our only time when
there's no kids and I'm not like working three jobs.
Sounds like somebody's getting it on Friday morning. Friday morning,
Friday's a special day for me. What can I say?
You come in here all excited with a little pep
(06:04):
in your stead. I'm on my hustle like you are,
so every day between that and kids, and this is
our only day. Okay, we're sitting at breakfast. I get
this nice little eggs and bacon everything. My biggest complaint
when restaurants bring you ice cold butter. I don't know
why it bothers.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Me so much.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
You get warm toast, but you get you know, I'm
not but butter sau but it does come from let's
talk about but we're quoting Gary Doozy, the maniac known
as Gary Busey.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
He's not actually him, but I don't want to but
I don't want to accept that.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
So I don't get how they bring you toast and
they bring you a little ramikin of like a scoop
of hard ass, almost like frozen butter.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Why who wants cold butter? I don't. I can't understand
this restaurant tactic for the life of me. If the
toast is warm and the butter cold.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
No what you're saying itads but doesn't No, but spot
the problem is they also never toast the bread all
the way.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Hold on When Rich was talking about spreads, I thought
he meant football. I didn't know he meant about his
toast or my morning.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
You have to be jim nance with a picture of
the toast from your wife on how to toast it properly,
because they basically bring you just a piece of bread.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It's like bread.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
They putting the toaster for like thirty seconds and then
they bring you scripe. After your team just dominated last night,
life's pretty good for you. I think what we're learning
here is when you get some action on a Friday morning,
your team wins, right, you're feeling good about the weekend.
You still have to find something to complain about. Yeah, dude,
(07:48):
this is if there. I could promise you. There are
and women in their cars on the app wherever they're
listening right now.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
They're pointing right yo.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Rich Davis, this mother effort is onto something as all.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
You know what he is onto it?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Man, You are right, It's just it's just a point.
It's a nice place to I'll give it up. I'll
give you the place I love the place, Marmalade Cafe
and Calabasas. They give me this nice little scramble with
bacon and avocado and egg like a nice scramble and.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
The scramble better than pretty scramble? Is that true? I
did Wow, they got.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
The skillet scrambled bowl and they bring me toast with
ice cold butter, and I'm like, can't spread it?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
Like, how do you spread right? How do you want?
You get buttered toast? I get it.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
You have clumps of butter. Now it ruins your whole breakfast.
You know who's good with their butter? I feel bad
for you. I hop it's like whipped soft butter. That
is the breakfast butter.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Danny G Yeah, that's good. And she's cake factory.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
She's cake factory.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
Got that all with that nice warm brown bread, sweet
brown bread.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
I know, Damn Buyer's feeling me too. Who wants cold butter? Dan?
On morning?
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Breakfast toast when you got your eggs and nobody he
wants cold butter.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Here's your rammik in of butter. Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
I do want to give context to this conversation. Rich
said it, but I want to come up. Friday is
the only day of the week where we don't do
our Patreon show, our show before this show, so we
have the morning and you want to enjoy it. Every
day Monday through Friday, we're doing Fox Sports Radio or
I record myself at you for Serious x AM. We
do our additional podcast Friday morning is my loan, like ah,
(09:19):
sort of like a morning off, hang out with my wife,
do a little something around the house, and then I
get breakfast. I don't want cold butter man, all right,
sound like a little beach. I'm my apologies.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
It's a great point, it is.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
No one wants cold butter all right. Well, hey, your feedback.
We got people calling about everything from the Bears to
Taylor Ham, to the Jets to butter. So the game
last all your feedback, your phone calls. We love the interaction.
It's a Friday Cavino and Rich, Derek in Jersey. You're
on Cavino and Rich. What's up, Derek?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 5 (09:53):
Guys?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
This is Derek from Union County. So I'm kind of
on the border between the tailor Ham and pork Row,
and I think it's a really simple solution that we
just need to all agree on. If you're north of
root one and nine, it's Taylor Ham. It comes in
a thin slice, red box, and that's what it is.
Down South Jersey. It's pork roll and you cut the
log as stick as you want to cut it, and
(10:15):
that's the difference. It's all the same stuff. And I've
checked this with many people. That's all I got.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Hey, thanks Derek.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I'm from Union, New Jersey, also from Union County, plans
and spots for Scotch plains and it is absolutely Tailor Ham.
And when you're eating your breakfast, you enjoy it and
you get that nice soft melted butter with your toast.
You know, it's interesting because Taylor Ham is a breakfast
meat that the rest of the world is deprived of. Hey, listen,
(10:43):
like you know, in the South you get some nice grits.
You don't get nice grits with your breakfast other places.
It's odd how some of these things stick regionally. There
are people listening right now, have no cool what Taylor
Ham is. Love Taylor Ham. It's a breakfast meat. Breakfast meat,
not Canadian, invented by John Taylor of Trenton.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Not John Taylor.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
The forty nine ers receivement the record, okay, was the
Duran Duran bassists, not him either, Another John Taylor.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
So many John Taylor's.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Can we take one more phone, cool y, What's nine
on Fox? And your observations from last night's game. It
was a It was a decent one, good one for
rich Again, he had some money on it. He had
a nice pick on it. So I hope you enjoyed it.
What's up, Jim?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
How are you?
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Man?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Jim in North Carolina?
Speaker 4 (11:29):
Yeah, in the middle of a tropical storm right now,
enjoying it.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Loving it.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
So the show. The storm is making the show even better.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Stay safe, vice versa.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
So I want to talk about the butter for a second.
And the Bears.
Speaker 7 (11:45):
Yes, they they only use cold butter because they can't
whip anything, you know, tam.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
That truth, and Justin Fields is not gonna blame it
on anyone because he's not a finger pointer.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
So he'll he'll just accept the cold butter.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
And everyone's backing him up that he's a finger What
bummer for the Bears is this? The bummer for the
Bears is they're zero to two and Justin Fields has
been a shell of what we thought he might even
advance it because he showed signs of like, oh, next
year is gonna be the year. This team was losing games,
but they were close and he's showing. He showed signs
of like greatness. He took a step back right now.
(12:21):
And when you're trying to correct an oh and two start,
guess what you don't want to bump into. You don't
want to bump into mahomes In casey, it's like the
worst timing for this team to try to turn things around.
So there'll be only three and that's unfortunately how it is.
Now we're going to get the rest of your phone
calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But
we also have to talk about Steven A.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
Smith.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
There was a tale of two first pitches yesterday. Tale
of two first pitches. One was great, one was disastrous. Yeah,
that's great and all, but more people want to talk
about Bud. I know who knew this would be the
hot topic of the Rich You're on in Texas?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
So what's going on? Buddy?
Speaker 3 (13:03):
What ut Rich?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Hold on? Rich? Rich? You A'll have and Rich show.
Speaker 5 (13:10):
Hey, guys can totally relate to the butter thing. I'm
from Michigan. Originally I moved to Texas and met my wife.
She's started serving cold butter. The only thing to find
that I've ever taught my wife like you got to
have a butter dish so you can set it out
and leave the butter out so it's fopps and you
can spread it well. Otherwise it's just terrible.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Yeah again, I'm good. This is the biggest takeaway.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Hey, Rich, why don't you like yelp review it and
just complain about it.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I'm not a snitch people that leave bed yelp.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Review It was extremely discipplined. I agree with our pal
comedian Sebastian Man of Scalco. Leaving negative Yelp reviews is
the equivalent of being a little tattletale bee, Like what
are you?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What are you snitching? Like the salmon? I don't like
their eggs.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You're trying to make a difference. You know, it's one restaurant,
one breakfast spot at a time.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
If you like warm butter, this isn't the plate for you.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Mason and Stocked and wrap this up and we'll go
and buy for an update. What's up, Stocking?
Speaker 6 (14:05):
What's up? Fellows?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
That?
Speaker 6 (14:06):
I just want to tell you guys about the ie
hot butter. That's not a it's not really a butter
per se. When I used to work there, we would, uh,
we'd put a margarine, probably seventy regular butter, and we
whip it in the Hobart.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
You know what, what are you gonna tell me next
movie theater? Butter is not real? Also, do they put
pancake batter in their eggs? They do?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I'm pretty sure they do. I've read that before. Yeah,
but we love some I hop not everybody plays. Not
every place could be I hop rich, yeah, or waffle
house or waffle house. So anyway, I hope you enjoyed
your breakfast on this Friday. I hope you enjoy your
breakfast and all your football this weekend. We got to
get to an update. We're Covino and Rich. What's up?
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Dan, Bayer and Buyer?
Speaker 8 (14:47):
You know there is an alternative of that, and that's
when the butter is just sitting on the shelf of
our restaurant. You know what football fans look out comes
some some stale butter. Yes, you know where. It hasn't
touched a refrigerator in weeks. It's just sitting in the
and then it comes out and it just pours out.
(15:07):
There's that alternative as well.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
Don't want to bring I just thought of a solution though, Sorry, Dan,
don't you just bring one of those old spray things.
If you can't believe it's not butter, I just bring yes,
doesn't Beyonce bring like Chilula hot sauce everywhere she goes.
I'll be I'll be the guy that brings his own butter.
B yob Yeah, be your thing, Put it in the hole.
Speaker 8 (15:26):
Star and bring it to ihop wherever you go. The
only thing that went wrong with the forty nine Ers
last night was Deebo. Samuel did return to the game.
Kyle Shanahan said today day to day with sore ribs,
says he's pretty sore today. Helps that they have the
extra time. Niners, by the way, gave head coach Kyle
Shanahan and GM John Lynch multi year contract extensions. Believer
(15:46):
Sean Doolittle announced his retirement today after eleven seasons. Solheim
Cup US leads a year up five to three after
Day one, Ryder.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
Cup taking place next week.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Guys, back to you, who would have ever thunk the
Cubs in Marlin would be fighting for the final while.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
With the Reds with the rights, you know, right on
their tails.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Yeah, I feel like if you go back and listen,
as Warner Wolf would say, let's go to the video tape.
If we went back to the video tape, everyone in
this room probably would have said, well, the NL situation's
pretty clear. It'll be uh, you know, Braves, Mets, Phillies,
one team from the Central and then out west you
got the Dodgers and probably the Paul Dreys. Like we
(16:28):
thought we knew everything and the NL all these young,
low payroll teams have emerged.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Yeah, it's sad because the first time I really haven't
cared that much this time of the year as a
Yankees fan.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
However, and I told this to Ryan Berschinger a couple
of days ago. Take a look at the Padres schedule.
The last week, they are playing some of the worst
baseball teams there are. They're in a seven game win streak.
There are four games out of the wild card spot.
There is a slight, very more than slight chance they
could sneak into that last wild card spot. They are
(17:02):
playing the Rockies, the Chicago White Sox, and the Giants.
That is just ad teams.
Speaker 8 (17:10):
John, by the way, I also mentioned this to me,
but I wasn't worth mentioning that he only told us
to Ryan Berschinger, but he did also tell me the
same thing. Sorry, Like I literally set it to my face. Hey,
market down, and then we had a whole other conversation.
Al Brent Musburger used to always say mark it down
at this year.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
You're right, Dad, but bursh not, you shut up.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
The point was the padres. That was the point.

Hey, what's up everybody?
Speaker 10 (17:49):
It's me three time Pro Bowl of LeVar Harrington, and
I couldn't be more excited to announce a podcast called
Up on Game?
Speaker 2 (17:56):
What is Up on Game?
Speaker 10 (17:57):
You asked, along with my fellow Pro Bowl TJ. Hutschman,
Zada and Super Bowl champion. Yep, that's right, Plexico Birds.
You can only name a show with that type of
talent on it. Up on Game We're going to be
sharing our real life experiences loaded with teachable moments. Listen
to Up on Game with me Lebar Arrington, TJ. Huschman, Zada,
(18:19):
and Plexico Birds on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or
wherever you get your podcast from.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
How about how about that now? Covino. That is rich.
We have.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Some possible breaking news coming up in a few minutes
in the world of sports and entertainment, But first, let's
talk about this gratol mom story because it's heartfelt and
it sort of goes along with an equally embarrassing story.
So it's like, heartfelt story, embarrassing story. Well, apparently he
hadn't seen his mom in seven years because his family's
in Venezuela and you may have seen him have a
(19:03):
one two three inning. Your parents are in New Jersey
and they haven't been out here in seven years. That's true, Yeah,
is true? Like mom, that is true. Graderoal's mom is
in Venezuela and she came to see him, came to
see him had a one two three inning, and it
was kind of cool because the reunion was like, Wow,
I'm watching my son pitch in the big leagues. And
you may have seen the clip of her cheering in
(19:24):
the stands. Yeah, and he's like pointing at her and
it's a very proud, heartwarming moment. But what got lost
in that story and lost in the mix was the
fact that his mom threw out the first pitch and
you could see where he gets.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
It from do you have the first pitch? Listen to this.
It was so cool to see do we have the
first pitch? Daddy?
Speaker 3 (19:46):
You know what Ramos left out on the system here,
so we'll get that here for you.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, like I said, we had to go to the
bench and call Alex out there. Alex is the best
in the biz. But it was a story that got
lost in the mix because Stephen A. Smith also threw
out a first pitch at Yankee Stadium and from the
get go, Actually the truth is, my dad hit me
up first. And my dad, you know, he's like a
(20:12):
no BS East Coast kind of guy.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Man, you gotta be kidding me.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Stephen A Smith, Steven A Smith, he calls himself a
sports guy.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
And remember Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Smith got on Max Kellerman recently publicly about not being
an athlete and blah blah blah. Right, yeah, he gets
out there and he botches the first pitch at the
Yankee game. But my dad, the first time I heard
about it before it went viral, before you know, social
media went crazy with it, before it became a huge story.
My dad was like, man, you being married. I didn't
(20:47):
even know what he was talking about. He's just being
married with that one. So because that hogged up so
much of the attention, so much of the media, you
may have missed Granderole's mom with the strike.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
For tonight's ceremonial first pitch.
Speaker 7 (21:01):
We're very pleased to welcome to Dodger Stadi once again.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Roosstar Grado's mom East Maria. We know where he gets it.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Great, John, he's Maria, he said, Now we know where
he gets it.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
She throws heat for a strike like a legit first
pitch by like from the mound.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
That's the thing, so is Malia.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
Like you see a lot of people most recently, I
think like Mina Kimes threw out a first pitch that
kind of went viral, but she did it like in
front of the mound. A lot of people choose that,
and that's fine too.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
No, I'm with you, Rich, If I have the honor
and privilege, I'm getting on that mound. Sometimes the pitcher
who scheduled to throw does not want anyone touch in
the mound. That's also an issue. But if you're gonna
throw the first pitch and you have a choice, you
go on the mounth So is Malia you know, proud moment.
She's a baseball mom.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
She's a former softball player.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
But she threw an overhand. She did strike a major
a little bit of a side arm in there. Yeah,
sixty feet six inches strike strike one. So no one
really saw that because everyone's talking stephen A.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Smith. They clocked it at ninety miles per hour.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Yeah, rock, dude, I'm like, get out of here.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
No. But you know what, Danny, I do think that
watching someone throw out a first pitch is so reflective
of how they were growing up and who they became
as an adult, because.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
I I think about, like, you know, my.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
My mom and dad were both athletic when I was younger. They,
you know, coaching Little league and helping out and doing things.
You think as a guy in his forties, you don't
think you throw a strike.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I know, I throw a strike. I know it. Yeah,
I know it.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
I mean I don't think I don't even consider that bragging. Yeah,
of course I would. But I'm saying, like we're making
it seem like it's something different.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Cult.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Now, listen, I'm not a you know, give me something
you're not. Yeah, you never played tennis, right, so if
you never played tennis. Who I'd be like, if there
was a ceremonial return this serve, you'd be like, oh man,
I'm screwed. So anyone that played high school, college, any
level of baseball isn't an embarrassing thought to anything that
could get to you or getting your way. Here's nerves,
(23:22):
that's it, right, So of course I'm capable, but nerves.
And that's what steven A is attributing this to. And
we'll get to that. But you don't think though that
anyone that played any level of baseball high school, college
into mural is a twenty something year old. You could
be an old man, but you still have the mechanics
to throw a ball. It's not like to me, I'm
not saying throw a forty yard spiral. If you threw
(23:43):
a duck, Oh yeah, you had a bad throw. Who
can't throw on a line.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
To the catcher.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
I gotta say, it's super embarrassing when you're as as
bold as he is and as critical as he is
to get out there and not throw a strike. Cowboys,
Cowboys fans must have left. Oh yeah, exactly. And he's
been a good sport about it. But he we're here
to say he should probably be a little more embarrassed. Okay,
(24:10):
is it and is it understandable to some people or
should he be more embarrassed? A seven seven ninety nine
on Fox. I know he's embarrassed from the start, though,
rich he throws on a Jeter jersey. He comes out
with a button down collared shirt, like from the get go,
just optically visually, I'm like, this is a bad look.
Why does he have a jersey on top? You were
(24:31):
a button down? Yes, I noticed it. I noticed that
it looks silly. He had a jersey on top of
a button down that's coming.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It was noticeable, and he were talking about it all
day on ESPN, and it's something that I also picked
up on. It looked dumb, It looked uncomfortable. They're you
gonna go out there for all those people, you want
to throw a strike? You better you better be comfortable.
And he blew it. He blow, he said, and he
said the lights are too bright. And once he got
on that mound, he says his ten inches higher. I
(25:02):
believe it's a little higher than that. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
He kept saying that.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
He goes, but once he got on that mound, guys,
it seemed like a mile away and the lights are
too bright, and he admitted he choked. So you know,
does that does that mean maybe he should be less critical? No?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Do you think understandable? No? No, no.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Do you think in those moments? In those moments, do
you feel like you would freeze? And do you feel
like you don't want those opportunities because you don't want
to see what would happen?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
A little of both.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
I'd like to believe I played baseball long enough to
be able to throw at least to the catcher, not
a perfect strike like our president.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Remember that. That was awesome. That was the best one
all time.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, when George Bush did that after nine to eleven,
that was incredible. Again, when you factor in the moment
and everybody watching, and he was wearing a kevlar, you know,
bulletproof thing underneath. I think I'd be able to do it, right,
I really do. I mean, of course it's nerve racking,
but I would be able to do it. I look
at it this way. Look at some of the worst
(26:06):
first pitches. Were you expecting much from fittycent Mariah Carey
Baba Booie from The Howard Stern Show. Our buddy, Gary delabatemparison.
He's a big Mets fan. He waited his whole life
to do it, and that one moment they've invited him back.
But I think he sorted then he said yeah, but
Gary not old and boisterous as a steven A. That's
what makes this even a bigger story, you know. I mean,
(26:28):
then you got to ask yourself. I don't want to
harp on this, but then you got to ask yourself,
to what degree do you throw the ball? Like Danny
if you get on the mound right like I'm thinking,
I'm not a star player, but if you're actively playing,
like even softball as a grown man, you're throwing a
ball every week, it's a baseball softball different. I get that,
(26:49):
But do you look like more of an ass if
you get up there and try to.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Throw some heat and throw a bad pitch? Do you
throw like a soft pitch in there.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
Trying to make sure money? You should ask because.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
My instinct would be like if I got up there,
my instinct would be like, why you know, this is
a one time opportunity. I'm gonna try to throw the ball.
I'm gonna throw some heat. Then if I then I'd
be nervous, like, oh, I wouldn't try to throw heat. Look,
everyone's gonna have a different approach. It looked like Steven
Ain't never threw a ball ever. I know he's a
basketball dude, but it looked like he never threw over.
That's why I was shocked, because I feel like, as
(27:21):
a dude, every guy daydreams about that.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Every I notice.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Probably is wrong in today's world, especially, but you could
judge another dude by the way he throws. And I'm like,
it looks like he never threw ever. And Danny g
I know you have a story about our very own
Ben Malley, right, tell us the story.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I don't know it, and you just you just don't
want the ball to bounce, right, Like that's the biggest
pressure on you. I think. So we got there. They're
showing it on the screens right now. The Stephen ag.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, dude, maybe like a mechanic.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
On the MLB network right now.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Yeah, they did a computerized breakdown of his arm angle.
Speaker 2 (27:59):
His arm missed it, but he bounced it by maybe
forty feet.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
If that guy showed up to play ball with my
team on a random softball game, we'd be like Yo,
this guy's got no skills.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
That's a bad throw. He has never thrown a baseball,
and look they're showing it back.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
They listened to our first hour.
Speaker 11 (28:17):
Not that this would ever happen, but I know if
I was given the opportunity to do a first pitch,
I would probably lob it, but I would still aim
like I would still get to the home plate.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Yeah, you don't know, I can throw, you know, Stephen,
I thought that. I think he was trying to throw heat.
I think that's the problem.
Speaker 7 (28:32):
Though.
Speaker 2 (28:32):
He would do the ball thirty miles an hour. He
was trying to thin.
Speaker 3 (28:34):
He was cry he was that's horrible.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I'll admit something. He's saying. It's a change.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Before you finished the Ben Mallis, I've said the story
once on the air. I'm more of a baseball guy
than a basketball guy. When I was in college, I
went to Syracuse. They randomly selected my seat. I'm telling
you like, it was like if you were sitting in
section on Roddy called your name, dude, come on down
a new car. They called my seat in the student section.
(29:03):
If you're in Section one, ten, Row sixteen, seat five.
I'm like, holy craft, that's me. I got thirty seconds
from the three point line. Everyone was like one hundred dollars.
I'll be the first to admit I ended up winning
a couple hundred dollars my first two air balls. Because
(29:25):
it's a glass backboard with students and fans behind you.
You played basketball, but guess what you played basketball the park,
the gym, you know, like the school with usure's different,
like in high school there's like it's not there's no
one behind the backboard unless you go to like a
really high end school. I had never shot a basketball
where it was a glass backboard where fans were moving
(29:48):
behind the differences.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Here, you're just a goofy student. Stephen A.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Smith is a big time loudmouth. Event eventually I got
the person. You know, it's like death perception because it's
but first pitch. Maybe I get a minor league team
to do this at first. I don't think calling the
Dodgers is our best bet right now, but I'd like
to see how you and I do.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
Tell us what Ben Mallard.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Yeah, I was gonna say it was a minor league team,
the Blaze, who are now defunct, and Ben likes to
joke that we shut the team down. They invited the
Ben Mallord Show crew to throw out the first pitches.
Now Ben hyped us up to where he made it
a Mallard meet and greet. There was probably a good
one hundred listeners there at the show, and that put
(30:33):
extra pressure on us because the Mallard and militia were
chanting our names as we were standing there on the
mount and and so I'm feeling extra tight, and I
was like, rich law, I wanted to throw some heat. Okay,
So Mallard goes first. He threw a lollipop.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
All right, now that's a that's an easy way out.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yes, now it was a strike, but it was a
total phil Necro pitch. It was a lollipop he gave.
He gave you an r a dicky. Yeah, theis so.
Then Eddie Garcia on his updates, he comes up. He
throws a curveball outside. But it was a decent pitch.
(31:11):
Then it's my turn. I come up, and I'm like, man,
these guys are throwing lollipops. Let me throw some gas.
I threw a very good well, it wasn't a strike.
I threw some heat, but it was way over the
pitcher's head and it hit the solid wood. Uh yes,
(31:34):
oh yeah, oh yeah, And it was my Ricky wild
Thing Vaughan moment because dude, it was major heat but
it was nowhere near a strike. So people are clapping
and everything, and the announcer was like, well, he threw
some heat at least. And then it's Coop's turn, the
producer of Ben Maller. He gets up and he bounces it.
He threw a stephen a and so that kind of
(31:56):
was the shield for all of us because everybody went
away talking about Coops.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh so you got off the hook. Yeah that one.
No one cared about you. But you know us about
the nerves for that.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
But based on what Danny g just said, he talked
about four different dudes getting a chance to do a
first pitch with the with the show, everyone had a
different approach. One guy's like I'm gonna lob it in
and play it safe. Danny's like I'm throwing heat. The
other dude's like, I'm gonna throw a curveball because if
I mess up, I could jokingly be like I was
trying to throw a curveball, and then the balance like
(32:26):
there was four different results.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
I'm going full Quizonberry if I get the shot.
Speaker 8 (32:30):
You know, there is video of Danny G's first pitch, yeah,
on YouTube.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
So actually I'm looking at it right now.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I can't wait to see this. I gotta see this now,
Danny G. Were you nervous though?
Speaker 3 (32:42):
I was, and and you know, I didn't want to
throw a lollipop, so that was my thinking. But it
just it easily got away from me. Yeah, but it
was still it was a fun experience. But I could
understand why steven A would be tight, like that Yankee
Stadium where oh.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, Jersey. Yeah, the lights. I could see the stress.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
But and if I had, if I had to do
it again, I would go with the breaking ball. I
would I would like, just throw a strike over the plate.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
It's humbling and we're talking smack because he was a
good sport about it too.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
He was.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
He's taking it on the chin and look, I get it.
He's under the bright lights. He's not a baseball player.
It's not as easy as it looks. And let's see,
all right, here we go, he's okay.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
The high heat.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
My god, that's hilarious.
Speaker 3 (33:31):
Yeah, and see if you can find coops on there.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
Oh, that's so funny.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Well, you know what, Well, we'll try to post that
at coving On rich on our Instagram story.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
The mound does mess with you though, Like you talked
about the depth perception, like when you're on a mound,
you're standing. It may not be that big, but that's
what I would think that if you're stephen A in
that scenario, you're thinking you're having to keep it low.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
Yeah, I can understand, you know how that happens. But again,
when you're Steve in A, you can can't let that
happen because you know you're gonna get it. He's getting
it big time. We're gonna get into weekend hobnobbing, but
before we do, we're gonna do some healthy living trivia
(34:13):
because there's a beef that we need to address here
in the studio on Fox Sports Radio. And it's brought
to you by Progressiveness. Oh okay, and it's between Spot,
who does all of our videos, our longtime.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Palse Spot, who's a beefcake.
Speaker 1 (34:29):
Spot's the guy that was not in shape his whole
life and then became a gym rat.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
But maybe a point where health is priority.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Yeah, but like you know, he's posting like Jim selfie's
good reason Rich, he's muscleboy, muscle boy Spot again. All
of our videos he produces them at Covino and Rich
and Alex who's in the studio, so it's a great opportunity.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
He's filming it for Ramos. But everybody knows.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Alex tight Shirt, Alex who just I mean he wears
a wife pleaser around the hallways because he's ripped.
Speaker 2 (34:55):
Yeah, he's ripped. Like Jesus. He runs a shover day
for the odd couple. Always cold to you, Alex.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
So Danny G said, you know what, I'm gonna take
it upon myself to do some better living trivia questions.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Here is your healthy living trivia on the fly.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
Can I just give you what made me? Because the
stay in the hallway, Ty Shirt and Spot.
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Roll with their eyes. You He rolled their eyes.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
At each other every day because each guy thinks they
have the healthiest option answer.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
I'll give you an example.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Ty Shirt was washing off his fruits and vegetables for
his famous Fox Sports radio shakes he makes every day,
and he's like, oh, Rich, look at this. There was
a tiny little caterpillar, a little a little caterpillar.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
On his berries.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
And he goes Oh, that means it's good because a
caterpillar wouldn't beyond fruit of vegetables that had pesticides, which
makes sense.
Speaker 2 (35:45):
And then spot us down.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
The hallway and he's like Jesus, this guy.
Speaker 2 (35:50):
All right, let's say who knows more?
Speaker 3 (35:54):
Yeah, let's find out.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
Really quick between let's put the beef to rest.

For your heart, bad for your heart. Partially hydrogenated oils
are hor Alex.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Was laughing, though he knew immediately that Alex's first those
who would even eat such things. That was a very
condescending laugh. That was the same laugh that was the
same left Tom Brady gave a reporter once when they
asked him about his wardrobe, and he's like, you you.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
Questioning me, I'm Tom Brady.
Speaker 3 (36:57):
All right, spy, don't eat fruits and nuts is on
the board. Here we go. Number two. How do fruits
and vegetables help prevent heart disease? A protecting arteries from injury,
B by lowering cholesterol levels, C by lowering blood pressure
or D all of the above, all of the above?
Oh yes, Spot, sweeping things up right now. I feel
(37:20):
like these are stacked in my favor.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I love hard health. Alex is your buzz awork.

Oh no, I'm enjoying. It's like I'm not going to
be I'm happy to hear you knows stuff.
Speaker 2 (37:28):

Speaker 12 (37:33):
Gonna be like I thought it was gonna be like breast,
you know, just under his peas and rice here the
whole time.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
You know what, We're trying to put the beef to rest,
but it looks like we're just creating more.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
For another.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Another competition, A tough question, all right, Question three? You
should have no more than blank tea spoon or spoons
of sodium a day A half, B one or C two.
Speaker 11 (37:56):
Spot, Spot, I want to say one yes, correct answer.
Does that make it would be half because I'm supposed
to have half the amount it recommended amount.
Speaker 12 (38:08):
But well, rowand would know that Celtic sea salt is
the best type of sodium.
Speaker 2 (38:12):
That's okay, I'll wait for a better question again. What
I feel like We're gonna have to just do this again?
