in time, not too long ago, where you were going
to quit the Mets, but I stuck it out.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I stuck it out, I know.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
So congratulations to you and all the New York Mets
fans and of course Pete Alonso, Polar Bear Pete in
the New York Mets.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Honestly, I said this to you earlier today, and I
wasn't bs and you. I don't think I've ever reacted
to a sports play, home run, catch shot anything like
that in my life. In my life, dude, I was.
I was in kindergarten when the Mets won the World Series.
I was just a little kid, like yeah, Gary Cutter,

(00:59):
you gotta say kindergarten.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
It makes it seem like it's a further like.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Hookie Wilson, not good like I was. I was just
a little boy in kindergarden. I was in kindygarden, so
you know, this to me not to be a prisoner
of the moment. First time ever someone hits a go
ahead home run in the ninth inning of a playoff game.
That's right in Major League Baseball history, Petlonzo, according to

(01:22):
where we used to work us and why and it's
just one of the best stats. Is the first player
in MLB history with a go ahead home run while
trailing in the ninth or later of a winner take
off postseason game. And we saw it happen. I didn't
think it was gonna happen. That's also what makes it
that exciting. Let me keep this in mind for everybody.

(01:44):
I'm not a Mets fan from New York, New Jersey,
from the East Coast. I'm a Yankees guy. I'm sitting
there watching and I'm like, ah, man, it's done, yeah,
and that's losses. And I felt somber, felt like that
that funeral sort of feeling, really, yeah, it's over.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
With the one solo home run. And then when the
next batter.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
Another home run, Jesus and my brother hit me up
and he's like, oh man, the Mets are done.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Another one, and I'm like, yeah, well yeah, maybe.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Oh, and then when Pete Alonso dropped the pop up
yeah by first base, You're like, oh.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
They felt it unraveling.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
You're like, oh, man, dude, the fact that they won
that game after all, that is what made it that
much more exciting and memorable. And I think that goes
down as well one of the greatest Mets highlights for sure.
But just as a baseball fan, man, it's right up
there with the best of them. Even if the Mets
don't go on to win even the next series, I
think it's it's one of the better moments in baseball.

(02:41):
And I'll hand it over to you Rich because I
want to know exactly your thoughts and how you felt.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
But I feel like baseball.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
I mean, it was a bigger game, but baseball outshine
in the NFL last night when the NFL had a
great night.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
That was a crazy game.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
It's a rare moment because we talked about how the
NFL is king everywhere you turn social media, espn FS
one everywhere is it was did you see what Pete
Alonzo did? Like, Yo, that's the magic of baseball. That's
why I love baseball. And I hate to say this
as a Yankees fan. That was a very magical like
Yankees type of moment for the Mets last night.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
But when the Yankees were on their dynasty, it was.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Like magical, ridiculous moments like that that you could never
believe what happened. That's what was happening, right, That's what
happened for your Mets. And not only would Peede Alonzo
with the Lindor a few games ago.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
So it's been a great week for you met.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Met fans are all sharing in the sentiment that two
of arguably your top five to ten highlights of all
time have come in the last three days. I wouldn't
argue that. It's like what's going on? So just a
fun time to be a Mets fan. And to back
you up, we all agree NFL is king Kirk Cousins
through for over five hundred yards last night, and that

(03:52):
was like the backstory, dude.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I did like that. I thought that game was great.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
I watched the highlights and was agger that those games
run at the same time, because I would have loved
watching both. I think Cousins reminded everybody why he's still
that guy, you know what I mean, lovable but lethal
at the same time, he's one of the elite quarterbacks
in the NFL. Five hundred and nine yards man and
Baker played his ass.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I was just gonna say, Covino and don't forget the
gutsy performance by Baker because he got twisted like a
pretzel and came back to play.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
No Shaman. Baker's game. That guy, that team. I still think, Oh,
it's gonna come down. I think it'll come down to
those two teams. To be honest, last night, I think
that NFC South is Falcons Bucks and it'll be close
at the end of the year.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Baker a very efficient nineteen of twenty four, one hundred
and eighty yards, three touchdowns, no picks, but he's going
to be outshined by Kirk d Cousins. It was amazing forever.
This was an all time Thursday night football game. It
was incredibly greatest I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
If you're a sports fanily at night, your phone was
going crazy with your buddies hitting you up with are
you watching this? And it was either the Mets or
the football game last night? Both were amazing. It was
the most memorable Thursday night in all sports that I've
had in a lot.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I had both games on Rich. I had your Mets
on my phone, ye and I had Thursday Night Football
on my big screen, and it was awesome to hear
Al Michael's voice raise a couple of octaves a couple
of times throughout that game. Let's go, he excited.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Let's go over some observations to your takeaways from last night.
There's so much to get to between that game and
of course the Mets win. You know, I really loved
John Boys breakdown of what happened. You had Devin Williams
in there. The Brewers were in perfect position to win
that game, right, Devin Williams with his fastball and change
up to change up as his deadly pitch. The dude

(05:42):
was on. He's always on. He's a great reliever, a
great pitcher. But John Boys breakdown pointed out how someone
in the Mets dugout, who was that? That told polar
Bear Pete like, yo, that's the change up. He was
tipping his pitches. He was tipping his pitches night by
the slightest you could tell when he was throwing the

(06:03):
fastball because he would have his hand real hard into
the glove and it was closer to his face. The
change up you know, he has to have his full
his full palm around the ball, a looser grip, a
little lower toward the face. You see this interaction someone
in the Mets dugout has with Pete Alonzo. He's like, yo,
that's the change up. Peter Alonzo knows the change your
seed acknowledgement to you, like yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. And

(06:25):
what did Peter Alonzo hit a home un off of
that change up that nobody hits off of? I thought
that was awesome And if you missed it, I don't
know which call was the best call. It had to
be how he rose on the Mets Radio network, Bring.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
One to Alonzo, William sets.

Speaker 5 (06:42):
Here's the pitch swing on a fly ball to right field,
pretty well, hits frail it back.

Speaker 6 (06:46):
At the wall.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
He jumps. That's gone.

Speaker 5 (06:48):
Hay da, Peter Alonzo with the most favorable home run
of his career.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Pop says, fast as a round second. That's a three
run of homer. He's given the Mets' toiled. They all
pour out of the.

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Dugout Alongso want us wait a home plate?

Speaker 1 (07:05):
They're away it for him.

Speaker 5 (07:06):
Hey, heats the plate his first congratulated Fine Nimmo hunk
buttling door cousin Mets waiting for him outside the dugout.
Peyt Alonzo keeps this fairy tail season going with a
fairy tail swing of his career.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
It raighta too the or wow.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
And then on the plane ride back, Howie Rose walks
up and down the aisle of the plane.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Did you see that clip? No?

Speaker 2 (07:29):
And all the Mets start hugging him in fiving them. Man, oh,
I didn't see that. I saw every clip. But man, again,
not a Mets fan, just a baseball fan. And I'm
smiling ear to ear listening to that, and I couldn't
blieve my eyes everything about that moment. If you're a
Mets fan or a baseball fan, if you're a Brewers fan, man,
I feel terrible for you, guys, Dan Byer, you know,
we'll talk to you throughout the day. I feel bad

(07:51):
for any Brewers fan. But everything was perfect about it, Dude,
Pete Alonzo, we talked about it yesterday. Take a listen
to what we said on yesterday show minutes before the game,
Polar Bear Pete Alonzo, if he wants big boy money,
if he wants that contract that his agent Scott Morris
and everyone's talking about if you think Peter Alonzo is elite,

(08:11):
you know what elite doesn't do bat one forty over
the final two weeks of the season, when the metsro
chasing a wildcard. Now that they're in the wildcard, when
Pete Alonzo's as cold as ice, that's no way to
show the world you're the guy.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Wells.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
I heard Dan Patrick say in regards to Pete Rose,
you can't spell compete without Pete well I don't know
if that applies to Alonzo. Hey, hopefully tonight, Oh wow,
hopefully tonight.

Speaker 7 (08:38):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
What's the little say? Maybe maybe polar bear Pete hits
a bomb. Maybe maybe polar Repete is the bomb. That
was Yester Davis. Yeah, talk about Noshre Davis. Even though
my greatest takeaway was that compete line. Somebody isolate that
send that off to the press.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Good one. Yeah, Now that was yesterday.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
So for Pete Alonzo to get up in that moment,
you're thinking to yourself, Man, he's either gonna strike strike out,
which what I was thinking.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I was thinking, ground into a double play or yeah,
trip over his back.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I wasn't thinking he's gonna step up, And he steps
up and he does that, and then he does the
French kiss. He does the kiss, the chef's kiss the French.
He French kissed the first space code, he does the
chef's kiss. And so if the Italian kissed Pete Alonzo,
the why and he's pumped up, let s effing go.

(09:35):
I mean, dude, you can't beat that moment. It's one
of the best moments. And there's so many other things
to speculate on. Not only was Devin Williams tipping off
his pitches and he's gonna hate himself when he sees that,
because the Mets knew what was coming. When you see
those highlights, you're like, yo, they knew, they knew what
was coming there. How about the fact that the outfielder

(09:56):
really never had a shot at that he hit the
wall before even I had a chance to watch what
I found fascinating because I've seen this done at Cityfield
and other stadiums. I'm sure Dan Bayer doesn't want to
say anything about yesterday's game, but in right field, that
lower area where fans are, was that in addition to
the field, Because at Cityfield, where the Mets play, a

(10:18):
couple of years ago, they brought the outfield in maybe
ten feet to make like a special fan zone, and
I felt like they had done that.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
Yeah, well it's not new, but it was not when
they built Miller Park. That was not a part of it.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
That ball hits the wall if not for the fan
zone and the weird angle of the fence made it
impossible for your outfielder to even attempt a junke. He
sort of ran into the corner, hits the corner and
that's it. He didn't even make a real effort to
even get it.

Speaker 8 (10:46):
As a result, they put it in after Mister three thousand,
that great movie. Not just kidding, it probably was after
the movie, but yeah, yeah, it was not original to
the ballpark.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
So last night just a wild night in baseball, one
of the few nights where baseball sort of took the
lead over the NFL. And did you even see Brandon
Nimmo that ridiculous story where an hour before the game
he found out his grandmother had passed away, but he
didn't tell anyone on the team because he wanted to

(11:17):
learn the lesson that you got to live life to
the full list. And you know, everything about last night
just felt ridiculously magical After that story, the headlines today
or the other side stories where how much these Mets
players actually care for one another, you know, and you
see that, and I give credit to Lindor. I feel
like this guy really changed the whole culture of the Mets.

(11:37):
Pete Alonzo steps up big and he's a big superstar
and he's the hero of the day and all that,
but I really feel like Lindor is that glue and
he's the guy who really has become a Met and
loves that team. They're feeding off of that, and you know,
I think a lot of those players as a result,
they were there for Nimo as a result, and they
feel for this guy and you see that connection, you
see that chemistry, and you can't buy that. So I

(11:58):
think they're pretty dangerous moving forward. I'm excited for you. You
asked me earlier, when did I think it was over?
And when did I feel like they had a pulse
a little heartbeat when DB's Brewers hit those back to
back home runs. BUTO had had been so good a
couple days prior, and then I was like, oh, he
had earned his keyp because I looked at his stats.

(12:19):
He was He's the Bhuto is the type of reliever
that's been back and forth Triple A Big League, Triple A,
Big Leagues, and I'm like, after the other day I
said he'll be in the pen next year. I think
he earned it, and then last night I'm like no.
And on the flip side, I do want to say
it is tough for the Brewers because they do have
such a young such a great young team. That guy Cheerio, Yeah,

(12:40):
oh my god, he's going to be a star. I
think he's twenty years old. Heartbreaking, heartbreaker. But on the
flip side, man, what a moment for Alonzo and the
manager of the Brewers, Murphy, what a class act, just
saying like, hey, listen, it's not us. What can we do?
The mets three best players, Lindor, Nimo and Alonzo did
what they're paid to do.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
What can you do? I love, I tell you what
you could do?

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Score more runs in the first eight innings, you know,
I like, you're playing with fire when it's one nothing
to nothing to that point.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
Yeah, Lindor takes the last play double play, which, by
the way, was awesome.

Speaker 1 (13:16):
Just how the game ended was awesome.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Everything was awesome, except for the final call from Bob Buker.
Which I heard I think Doug Cottlee play earlier. Bob
Buker makes the call. It almost makes you want to cry,
you know, so I do feel for the Brewers fans.
It was a heartbreaker, but what an exciting night. And again,
this is from an unbiased person who just likes baseball,
and I thought that was a great moment. But the
only downside was there was two great things going on

(13:39):
at once. Honestly, I don't want to complain and be
the negative, nor Berto. Maybe that's why you need an
extra TV Like no, no, it's true, and that's why
we're gonna do our Riches big extra TV Game of
the Week later on in the show. But you don't
mean to tell me rich that there was a part
of you. It's like you knew what was going on
and you were like going back and forth. It was
kind of sort of annoying that you had to deal
with two awesome things at once. I didn't even though

(14:00):
it happened in the football game until the Mets game
was over, and then I'm like, oh my god, I
missed exactly. I missed a great football game. And then
I realized my parlay hit and my teaser. But yesterday
we talked about that. You could say, Hey, we're fortunate
it was in Magical Night. It was a little alloying
that they were both on at the same time.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
MANH, no doubt.

Speaker 8 (14:19):
Can I just ask a question because I've not wanted
to rain on your parade in the first seventeen minutes
of the show, And don't worry, I won't start now.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
And dB, you did a great job, for sure. I
hate being on the air when my team loses. So
it happens with the Niners every year when they choke
in the playoffs, So I feel you.

Speaker 1 (14:34):
I'll tell you.

Speaker 8 (14:34):
What was interesting, though, is before the show, Rich came
up to me and we're talking about it goes. Don't
you like just have some sort of appreciation for that moment?
And it was such a foreign concept, Like I don't
know who would like I'm still mad at Danny's Raiders
in bo Jackson running into the tunnel in nineteen eighty seven.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Yeah, when you're your team, I still can feel the appreciation.
Maybe I'm like weird, I can't do it.

Speaker 8 (14:56):
I don't think you like seeing Dave Roberts swipe second
in Game four.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Like that's not a good one.

Speaker 9 (15:01):
You know.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
But I'll give you a great example when in O
six when my my dude, Carlos Beltran watched Adam Waynwright
throw the perfect curveball of all time Game seven and
the Mets lost a little time passes, I'm like, man,
that was the sickest curveball. Every props to Wayne, right, Like,
sometimes you gotta just tip your.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Hat at different. I'm not that way. If that were
to happen, it still takes a lot of time. I wish.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
It's like I sort of wish my ex girlfriend's luck
in their life. Like sometimes you know, you know, some
people are just like.

Speaker 1 (15:32):
No, I'll never get over it.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
Yeah, I agree with Dan Byer. There You're an exception.
I wouldn't have any joy or respect for that moment.
You know what I don't do. I will say this.
I pride myself on not being an a hole fan.
I would never be like Damn Bayerney ninety poo poo.
I may yell Dan, I'm sorry, bro.

Speaker 1 (15:52):
All good. Thanks for not sending me a polar Bear emoji?
Like Iowa, Sam?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
Did you call him the New York Sam?

Speaker 9 (15:59):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:59):
He's Sam. He'll Sam, I'll say, between you and called
me big apple sham.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
She uh, let me tell you, because I remember we're
down the streets. They're calling you big apple Sam because
you said the ending of the Mets game was better
than the ending of the Falcons game.

Speaker 1 (16:16):
I didn't. We were all we all agreed that it was. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
Well, my point is, I'm not want to rub it
in so I could see where Dan Bayer wants to
strangle you, because when when people hit me up on
social media or text me when my team is losing
with like almost say ha ha, or like yeah, what's
the score? I don't want to punch him in the nose. Okay,
So I can only imagine, well, dB, who's you know.

(16:38):
I know that's not his number one sport.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
But his Brewers just lose. You're sending him polar bear.
Emo was celebrating. I wasn't putting down Dan or the Brewers.
I was just celebrating the Mets were we all have
to be a little take them off the chat. I
have a group chat with Dan, Doug and Jason Stewart
and we were all to I was texting, mostly me
about the NFL game and and the Mets game and sorry, and.

Speaker 8 (17:02):
Then there was it was a polar Bear, and then
it was just Pete with an explanation, point tone deaf
as they said, I am not.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
I'm not one to text people when their teams are losing, rubbing.
I'm not that person. But last night I wasn't. I
wasn't trying to make Dan feel that. I was just
celebrating the Mets. I was uplifting Rich and I was
kind of without Rich on the text chain.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
But you know, to me, I said, I even said.

Speaker 8 (17:29):
I'm not as big of a Brewer fan, as rich
as a Mets fan. It's Baseball's falling off in my
life as I've gotten older. But the effort to stick
it to me, you know by Iowa, Sam.

Speaker 4 (17:39):
Listen, if my Hawkeye somehow upset your Buckeyes tomorrow, you
will not hear a word from me.

Speaker 2 (17:43):
All right, Hey, do you think Kirk Cousins getting big
time by the moment and that's unfair? Is he getting
overshadowed by the magical polar Bear Pete story or are
we just prisoners of the moment? Is he being Remember
when Farah Fawcett passed away and no one really talked
about it because Michael Jackson died the same day. That's
a good question because there are enough people acknowledging what

(18:03):
Cousins did listen was an all time performance. More people
still care way more about the NFL. It's just this
was such a big baseball moment. They really Baseball pretty
much tied the NFL last night, in my mind, and
that's a rarity for sure.

Speaker 1 (18:17):
Would it have been.

Speaker 8 (18:18):
The same if the situations were reversed, if the Brewers
did that to the Mets.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
I think if it was a marquee player the under
the microscope, like a Pete, a Lonzo last game, he's
a free agent, could this be his last?

Speaker 1 (18:30):
That bad as a Met he's been struggling, And yeah,
depends what Brewer was I think.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I think polar Bear Pete is popular enough where people
knew what he was capable of in that moment I
came through.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
I think the New York angle pushes that if it
was Red's pirates, I don't know if we're as crazy
about it as we are.

Speaker 2 (18:49):
And you know what the Mets are. The Mets are
a big underdog in baseball. They played crosstown from the Yankees.
The Mets have a legacy have always met, they met,
you know, the Mets are gonna met you know, much
like the in certain teams. So I think when a
team that always is on the receiving end of yeah,
they blew it.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
When they come out on top, it's sort of like, wow.

Speaker 8 (19:09):
That was and that was the point that that we
had just talked about earlier, was they're an underdogs, are
the Yankees. But to the rest of baseball, the Mets
aren't looked like that.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Yeah, we don't won a World Series since we were
been to one in the last ten years.

Speaker 8 (19:22):
You know, you were there in two thousand and so,
like I still and I think that in baseball, probably
more so in any other sports because the NBA doesn't
have this problem anymore. The small market in large market,
there is such a divide to it. So whether you
like it or not, I feel like the Mets, just
because of New York in front of that, are a
part of that. In the NBA, we've had small market

(19:43):
teams win you know, a bunch, But in baseball, I
still think that there's a huge divide.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
If they're not underdogs, I feel, but they just blew
some opportunities. I'm in my forties, I'm in my forties.
The Mets have been to the postseason less than ten times.

Speaker 8 (19:55):
Sure, so, and in your world that you live in,
you're always playing second to the Yankees, or it feels
like that, I guess so. So it's it's understandable in
a way.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
What sports moment in the last twenty years, let's let's
narrow it down twenty years has gotten you the most excited.
And I bring that up because I really was a
little poudy guy. I turned the TV off in the
living room and I went to the bedroom and I
put it on the bedroom TV.

Speaker 1 (20:25):
My kids were laughing and being all silly, and I'm like,
I don't want to be runny.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
You're being a little sports baby a little bit. I
was like, I just told I don't want to want
sucking your thumb. And I just didn't want the ending
to be while my kids were all happy with their
friends in the house, and you know, I was like
that dad's dipping away. When Lindor got on with the
leadoff walk, I felt, I was like, I'm like, oh
my god, they got a pulse, the heartbeat.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
Venta strikes out. I'm like, all right, and maybe they don't.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
All takes is one swing now because I got a
guy on when Nimo got that base, and I'm like.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
Worst than third, No, Pete Alonso can't be.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I posted my reaction at Rich Davis on Instagram. I
lost my damn one. I ran out of the house standable.
This highlight lives on. That's what I was getting that
even if they don't win, this highlight lives on. Most
highlights they go away when your team, you know, doesn't
make it all the way. This one will last. This
one will last, I think so, especially for the Mets fans.
I think I screamed out are you effing kidding me?

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Like ten times?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
And I felt no reaction to my house, like where
is everyone? My family was walking out my daughter's friend
because the dad came to pick up the kid, and
I ran in the driveway in my boxer briefs and
a met T shirt.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
I'm like a and I'm like the other parents and
I'm like, I'm sorry, I got my underwear on.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
Now you know what just happened. They think you're a
raging pervert now. So I was like, let me go
put on some pants. We're never sending Sydney back to
that house. So the dad and the daughter came in.
They're like, well, watch you into the game with you.
I'm like, all right, let me go put on some pants.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (21:57):
And so you're asking, you know, based on that magical moment,
and I agree it was Rich is not alone. It
was an exciting one. What are those moments for you
in the past twenty years? I got one, actually, you know,
I just thought of it right now. I want to
also tell people if they want to see a ridiculous
video at Covine on Rich for some reason. You know,
you always trying to create memories for your kids. Right,

(22:19):
every time one of my teams has a big moment
and I'm excited, my kids think, oh, Daddy, are you
going to jump in the pool with your clothes on?
Because I did that one time during a forty nine
ers wine in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
So anytime my team wins.

Speaker 2 (22:33):
A playoff game, which is in common, my kids expect, oh,
Dad's going to jump in the pool with his clothes on.
So I had to keep that tradition alive. And to
see my kids all excited about it, I was like, ah.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Yeah, sure, I did it for the GRAM.

Speaker 2 (22:46):
And it's like hot out here in La so it's
not a bit It's not like a polar punge punch
did it for the gram Hey at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio. So I got to him. You
said twenty years, Right, I'll give it. I'll extend the
twenty five thirty years. Yeah, let's just keep it simple.
Twenty years. So in the past twenty years, I'd have

(23:06):
to say, I have to acknowledge, even though I've been
a spoiled Yankees fan, I gotta acknowledge Hideki Matsui's performance
in the two thousand and nine World Series. That team
was stacked eight rod to share it like they had
everybody Jeter, but that's when Hitdeki Matsui stepped up.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
They won.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
It was special for me because I became a dad
on the second and they won on November fourth, two
thousand and nine.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
That really was special for me.

Speaker 2 (23:31):
So for me personally last week your life, right, was
that the most exciting? Was there this one particular moment? No,
but they won the World Series and they haven't won
it since. So for me, I gotta throw that into
the conversation. But one where I was sitting there like
a little baby, like Rich, like not expecting anything great
to happen. And then all of a sudden, like WHOA,
I feel fine saying this because I think I'm gonna

(23:53):
be the only guy that's gonna say it. But it was,
I believe June one, twenty nineteen, and I called a
bunch of my friends, Yo, you guys want to watch
the fight. No one gave a Diddley squad about it.
I'm watching his fight by myself, and it was Anthony
Joshua versus Andy Ruiz.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Now, Andy Ruiz is this.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Mexican cholo dope boy that nobody knew at the time.
But I knew he had some heavy hands, and I
also knew that there was no such thing as a
Mexican heavyweight champion. There was no such thing. Yeah, do
you remember Chris Ariola was the closest to come to it.
But I was watching it. I knew it was a
big fight. Translation Chris nipples. Yes, yes, Chris the Nightmare Ariola,

(24:37):
and he never came through. So I'm watching Andy Ruiz
fight Anthony Joshua, who at the time seemed invincible, this
UK superstar, Right, and Chubby asked Andy Ruiz, who they
said looked like the little chubby kid from the movie
up in the little boy scout Andy Ruiz looked like
he just got done having some flout us when he

(24:58):
finished those flaunt us and then finished off Anthony Joshua.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
In that moment, because I thought for sure he was
going to.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Be knocked out and lose, I sprung out of my
bed because I just would have never expected it, And
I know no one else is gonna understand unless you're
a fight fan. But because I didn't expect that, nobody
expected it, and I saw it happen live. I remember
like being so pumped in that moment. For me, at
the moment, I'll never forget been the last twenty years

(25:26):
Big Mica runs his place. Yeah, he said, uh, nineteen
ninety five when UCLA the Coast to Coast Tias Edney
Ye lay up in the to send them to the
Sweet sixteen UCLA tw Big Mike, that's twenty nine years ago.
I didn't give him a time Oh, I didn't give
the Big Mic a timeframe.

Speaker 4 (25:43):
Isn't he supposed to be on vacation. I'm out here
texting you from Mexico.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
But I get it, like there's gonna be more magical
moments than one I just described. But I remember just
not expecting that to happen for the forty nine ers.
Probably last year when the Lions had a twenty four
set and lead and they came back. Well, he has
d made Dan your Seahawks won a Super Bowl, but
that game was sort of a blowout when when they
beat my Niners on the yo crab trees got nothing

(26:10):
Richard Sherman, was that like one of your most exciting
moments as a face?

Speaker 9 (26:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:14):
Absolutely.

Speaker 8 (26:14):
If you went to the twenty five years, it would
be Ohio State beating Michigan. Yeah, and then going to
the Fiesta Bowl and upsetting Miami and doing it on
a goal line stand in double overtime. But the Seahawks
head back to back ones because remember the next year
they also went with the played the Packers in the
game the overtime.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Oh, that was the most insane game.

Speaker 9 (26:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
So while I was crazy going with the Sherman interception,
I vividly remember in the overtime when Russell Wilson dropped
back and the ball was halfway in the air. It
just then it hit him like he's gonna catch it
and they're going to win because he had single coverage.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
You're like, you're not throwing that pass unless he's.

Speaker 8 (26:52):
Open, and and he did, and then they threw the
ball on the one yard by the next you know,
two weeks later. But the bond being in that NFC
Championship game in back to back, here's two enormous moments
in tight games.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Oh, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
When Green Bay muffed that on side kick, you must
have been spinning around like a man.

Speaker 9 (27:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (27:13):
You remember they actually took the lead in green Bay
went down and kicked a field goal to tie it
to go into overtime. Yeah, well it was crazy, crazy
final five man a little this magic moment? What was
yours in the past twenty years? And again we're Covino
and Rich live from the tyrack dot com studio. Let's
do an update with the world famous dB Dan bud
I only to hear what Big Apple Sam's Moment's going

(27:34):
to be from the NYC.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
But we'll get to that later. We'll get some news
Danny's Raiders.

Speaker 8 (27:39):
In the news is DeVante Adams, who's posting cryptic Edgar
Allen poll messages on Instagram. W Josina Anderson, a longtime
NFL insider, says nothing is going on between the Ravens
and Raiders a possible trade for Adams. He's been ruled
out of their game against Denvers, and mere White also
not going to play for the Raiders. In that AFC
West showdown, Packers say that wide receivers Romeo Dobbs and

(28:02):
Christian Watson are doubtful to face the Rams. Rams wide
receiver Cooper Cup's not going to play against Green Bay.
Giants ruled out Mylik Neighbors against the Seahawks, while running
back Devin Singletary is doubtful. Cowboys will not have Micah
Parsons against the Steelers, while Pittsburgh listed Russell Wilson as
questionable and ruled out running backs Jalen Warren and Cordero
Patterson Richie. Niners have the Cardinals coming up on Sunday.

(28:22):
George kill and Kittle and Fred Warner are questionable. The
Cardinals are getting Trey McBride back from his concussion.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
Did you see the fun story with the Niners requested
to wear their road white jerseys because it's supposed to
be like one hundred degrees and the Cardinals are choosing
to wear white at home because it's going to be
so hot in Arizona.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
And so the Cardinals got their way, right, he got
their way because of the home team. So the Niners
are wearing red on the road.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
Wow, isn't it a isn't a dome? It's an a
air conditioning there. I thought the game was in Santa Clara.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
Is that what I Yeah, the forty nine is requested
to wear white and they weren't allowed.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
That was what it was. So they're not getting the
wear at home. My bed. Yeah, that's that would be
weird to say, yeah, no, that's all right. It'd be
weird to.

Speaker 8 (29:02):
See them though, in white at home because yeah, they
just I know other teams have done at Dolphins do
it at the time, well when it's warm like that.
But Trey McBride, as I said, cleared, he's going to
play two baseball notes. You said, could I Singa is
going to start for the Mets in Game one tomorrow.
Joe Musker over the Padres when the Tommy John surgery.
He had to leave Game two against the Braves because

(29:22):
of elbow discomfort, something he'd been dealing with throughout the
entire season, had multiple issues with it, and now he
will miss not only this postseason, but probably all of
the next year. That's me speculating, but Joe Musker over
the Padres needs Tommy John surgery.

Man, what a great night for sports.

Speaker 2 (30:25):
Like I said, the only downside was, oh man, I'm
missing some of this game and I kept bouncing around
going back and forth. Some great football as well. Man
Kirk Cousins put on a show I think proven to everybody,
or reminding reminding everybody that he's on a different level,
different caliber of quarterback. Cavino and Rich Steve Cavino, Rich
Davis Iowa, Samuel Danny g no, no, no, Big Apples,

(30:48):
I'm sorry, Big Apple Sam. We're live from Tiraq dot
com studio. You know we you and I were talking
about earlier. Not only was the call great by Howie Rose.
If you're a a fan of your local announcers, he
boarded the team plane and they played it on the
speakers in the plane as he walked up and down
the aisle like high five in the players. Howie Rose

(31:09):
put it in the books. Has been a Mets announcer
for a whole life, practically so Rich, speaking of your Mets, Yeah,
I'm getting the vibe. There's a bad boy on the
team and coming up for a weekend hobnobbing and all
the other stuff we do on Fridays. Start thinking about
this besides your magical moments and other things we could
touch on. Does every team need a bad boy? A

(31:33):
villain of sorts? But right now it is time for
Rich's Solar Power Parlay, brought to you by DraftKings.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Let's do it. I'm sorry, Big Apple.

Speaker 7 (31:41):
Sam, It's time to parlay into your weekend. Rich Davis
loves parlays, you're making money, and he loves his new
solar panels. Solar boy, my Solar power parlay. Oh right, lose,
you're making money, honey, can't lose. I mean you could lose,
but hey, gamble at your own risk. But here's what

(32:02):
I'm doing.

Speaker 2 (32:03):
I'm gonna give you my Friday three for three money
line parlay.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
That's what we've been rolling with at Friday.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
dB, thanks for the correction and big Apple, Sam. The
forty nine ers are at home this weekend. They tried
to get the NFL to allow them to wear they're
all white uniforms because of the excessive heat in the
Bay Area in Santa Clara this weekend, but the NFL said, no,
you had to make that decision before the season. No
mid season uniform adjustment, So the forty nine ers can't

(32:31):
get that white jersey advantage. Yeah all right, Well, hey,
here's the parlay we're going with Rams. You heard dB,
Cooper Cup still out that team. I mean, they look
good against the Niners, but since have looked like a
team that is, you know, without some of their key stars.
They're playing the Packers the games in LA, but as
you know, Packer fans travel, so I imagine half that

(32:53):
crowd will be green at so far, So I like
Packers money line at the Rams. We like the Packers.
Jordan love little bounce back game. They had a close one,
almost almost came back last week against Minnesota right Dolphins Patriots,
a battle of the garbage two one to three teams,
even though there have been signs of you know.

Speaker 1 (33:14):
Maybe the Patriots thrown't as bad as we think.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
I think, even without Tua, even with a confusing quarterback situation,
I think Mike McDaniels finds a way to win.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
In New England.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
You're right, that is a as of now, Michael Daniel.
You know so I'm going Dolphins money line, Hackers money line.
And as much as I like Joe Burrow, as much
as I like is Eminem hare Eminem gonna be your granddaddy,
I like the Ravens money line. Even though the game's
in Sincy, I'm taking I'm taking road teams this week.

(33:47):
So you might say, oh, that's a little tricky. But Packers,
Dolphins and then Radio Silver Sinsata Patriots haven't won at
home yet.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
I don't think so. This will be their first home win. So, uh,
I don't like the Pats.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
I like Packers, Dolphins races. There you have it, that's
your three team parlay for this weekend?

Speaker 1 (34:05):
Oh right, anyone stand out more than the other? Room
Rich's solar power parlay?

Speaker 2 (34:10):
I mean Packers should be able to handle the Rams, right,
that seems obvious, but then again, nothing's obvious. Dolphins Patriots, Hey,
Dolphins will edge out the Pats if they want any
shot at the postseason.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Right.

Speaker 2 (34:21):
And of course Ravens. I like what Burrow's doing. But man,
Ravens might be too good. It's not just because Rich
was a Mets fan. That was a giant moment. Man,
what is your awesome? What is your most memorable moment?
Let's say in the twenty first century. We'll try to
keep it in the two thousands at least. What's up man?

Speaker 11 (34:40):
Oh yeah, it's on the two thousands iPhone Cowboys fams.
I don't have one from the NFL, but that I
got was a Colorado Avalanche watching them play the Ducks.
This is the dust. But the game went to overtime,
still tied up, goes to a shootout. I got to
see Sacking score the winning goal. That was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (35:01):
And then the other one for Colorado opening day, opening
up against the Phillies, who had just won the World
champions from that OA season and we had tickets to
all three games, but Friday Opening Day got to see
the Rockies beat the Phillies. So that was pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Hey man, thanks for sharing, Philip and Utah.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Anyone else wants to chime in eight seven seven ninety
nine one Fox like just to be able to witness
those true hero moments where the game is on the line.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Danny g.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
The year was two thousand and three. Yeah, so my
mom was twenty one years old. It can drink legally now.
But in January, middle of January two thousand and three,
sixty three thousand Raider fans. That's all you saw inside
the Oakland Coliseum was nothing but a sea of silver
and black, the loudest football crowd I've ever experienced in

(35:52):
my life. As the Raiders beat the Titans forty one
to twenty four to win the AFC title, Lincoln Kennedy
ran off into the tunnel you sting up the trophy
and Covino, you'll love this. Before the game, we saw
a big rig pull into the main parking lot, one
of the main parking lots there in the Oakland Coliseum,
and they were setting up a stage, and we're like,

(36:12):
when the world is going on, Metallica legendarily played an
impromptu concert for all the Raider fans in one of
the main parking lots.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I knew you were going to say that because I
remember that when that happened. I remember I seeing highlights
from it or whatever.

Speaker 1 (36:26):
Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
Yeah, there's clips, there's clips on YouTube. That was awesome
Metallica in the Raider jerseys playing for that crowd. There's
even a little mosh pit in front of the makeshift stage.
And what a memory, man, I mean, you know you
would hear Metallica obviously inside on the big speakers and
always playing different Metallica songs in the parking lot, and Metallica,

(36:48):
you know, from being from the Bay Area, they wanted
to do the Raider fans proper and show up for
that AFC title game. And what a memory that is, man,
because this is the only time I've ever seen Metallica live.
It was mind blowing up. And then to see an
amazing game right after it.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Yeah, imagine you're not expecting that they come out and
perform and that game happen. That's pretty awesome, man. Zam
is one come to any Kaitlyn Clark moments that.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
One, two, three, ooh yeah, yeah. I will not go
with the Kaitlyn Clark moment. I will go to January first,
two thousand and five, the Capitol One Bowl LSU coached
by Nick Saban taking on Iowa, who was technically co
Big Ten champions with the Michigan Wolverine sharing it even
though they lost to him. But Iowa had a twenty
four to twelve lead going into into the fourth quarter

(37:32):
and they blew it. They were down twenty five to
twenty four, and as time expired, quarterback Drew Tait hit
Warren Holloway for you, I believe a fifty six yarder
as time expired. I don't think I've ever shrieked that
loud in my life.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
No, man, it's those are the moment getting out of
your seat and you're jumping around in your living room.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
That's when you're a.

Speaker 2 (37:48):
Grown man or woman. Yeah, and you're jumping around like
I was less out.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
That's what I like.

Speaker 9 (37:53):
Yes.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
And by the way, oh you know what we didn't acknowledge.

Speaker 2 (37:56):
It was so cool to see the fans react a
city field, the fans that were there at the city
that watch party.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
That watch party they had that was cool.

Speaker 9 (38:03):
Man.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
When the popcorn goes flying in the air like that,
that was the moment. That's that's what you know, man,
that's the moment then.

Speaker 2 (38:10):
So looking back to the two thousands as a Lakers fan,
was the first Kobe Shack championship? Was it Kobe's last one?
What got you the most emotional and fired up?

Speaker 3 (38:19):
I went to the parade for the second Kobe Shack Championship.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
That was amazing. Yeah, I don't know. It's hard to weigh.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Not to sound like a spoiled Yankees fan, but it's
hard to weigh champions.

Speaker 2 (38:31):
Yes, that is the downside of a legacy team. You know,
they sort of the memories Rich all sort of jumble together.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
I'm serious. It sounds spoiled, but that's the truth.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
So guys, you could share yours at Kobino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio, but we also have to talk
about your boy Jesse Winker.

Speaker 1 (38:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
The question really is it could be any sport, football, basketball, baseball,
I mean in hockey. You know you might say, well,
you talk about the goon of the team. Great Seawn
William Scott movie, by the way, underrated. Yeah, the goon
is good. Does every team need an a hole? Does
every team need the bad boy that when he's on
your team, you love him. When he's on the other team,

(39:17):
you hate him. So he's sort of like the villain
of the face of the other team that you hate.
I sounded like Vince McMahon, you hate you know, we
mentioned that before. Dan Byron I both got a little
taste as fans of Richard Sherman. When he's not on
your team, I hate Richard Sherman. When he's on your team,
I love Richard. I think you need that in sports.

(39:39):
I do think you need that. Does everyone have one
by design or is it just coincidence?

Speaker 1 (39:46):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
Man to be a winning team, I think you need
all pieces of the puzzle, and you might need that part.
I'll give you another layer. How it could be interpreted
two ways. Paul O'Neill. Yeah, when he's on your team,
oh the warrior, no one, he's harder. When he's not
on your team. You what a crying You know, it's
so funny. I have Paulonia written there because I'm thinking
about it. I'm like, you know, some of those teams

(40:08):
were kind of likable. They were just good dudes. But
you're right, Paul O'Neill is one of those guys where
Yankee fans love what he did, respected his game, loved
his fire and his fury. But if you're watching him,
you're right, you nailed it.

Speaker 1 (40:21):
You think he's a.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
Cry baby, blow hard warrior. But he was such a
great part of that team. He would have been maybe
the bad boy or villainis guy that you hated. Maybe
it was a rod back then, but as a fight
fan too, I got to tell you, man, as much
as I hated the guy, I respected him. But it
also is what gets you tuned in. And that was
Floyd Mayweather for me. Man, guy would come out and

(40:42):
as you know, sombrero and he'd be antagonizing, you know,
Mexican fans. He said he did it as an honor,
but he's doing it to make fun of his opponents.
I mean, you don't need to be extreme like John Rocker,
but no, but there are times where you're like, yo,
we need one jerk on the rich. You know, I'll
take it one step further and I want to see
if you agree with this. Maybe spottle agree. I not

(41:05):
only do I think every winning team needs a bad boy.
But I also think like every like boy band in
the nineties needed a bad boy.

Speaker 1 (41:14):
Oh, I think about it.

Speaker 2 (41:15):
Think about every boy band, they always had that one
dude who was like he was the bad boy AJ
from the Backstreet Boys.

Speaker 1 (41:21):
His facial hair alone made him. I just need it.
Is this part of the formula? Guys, Wasn't there a
Backstreet Boy song about that?

Speaker 8 (41:28):
Like, yes, like every bad girl needs a bad boy
or something like that.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
That's funny.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
But when I think, because I'm a rock fan, Danny,
you was talking about Metallica before I could look at
all those dudes, and I feel like there was like, oh,
he's the heart throb. He's like, oh, he's the sensitive guy.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
Oh that's the bad boy.

Speaker 8 (41:48):
If you want it to be good girl, get yourself
a bad boy.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
That's the name of the song.

Speaker 2 (41:53):
I feel like every every boy band had a bad boy,
not only every championship team, every good team.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
So who is that guy? Who do you think of?
Who comes to mind?

Speaker 2 (42:03):
Do you agree with the theory because you're saying that
Jesse Winker is that dude, and maybe he is because
it appeared that way after he scored yesterday. Well, there's
there's guys that are just listen. I thought it was
a little a little bit much when he slammed his helmet.

Speaker 1 (42:21):
Did you like it when it shattered again? If it's
not your team, you're like, what a jerk? I noticed it.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
There are guys that play with just that little bit extra.
I remember Fernando Rodney when he would shoot arrows in
the sky, or you know, you know there's certain guys
that you're like, they get under your skin, but if
they're on your team, you love him. Uh you know,
we'll take feedback on that. A lot of people calling
about their favorite sports moment. Now it's a grown man
or woman. When you get out of your seat and

(42:50):
jump around like your house of pain, it's got to
be special. Let's go to Craig in Rochester. Craig, what's
up man, you're on the show?

Speaker 6 (43:01):
Yeah, you know it is. I'm a Bills fan and
it's a thirteen second game. Oh but it's brutal. It's
a tragedy. But I got to tell you before that happened.
I mean, a friend of mine went to an assisted
living place. His wife died, and about eight of us
were in his room and the last two minutes of

(43:23):
that game, where like we were jumping up and down.
It was almost like the agony in the ecstasy, and
it was all packed in And I tell you I'll
never forget that. I mean, we were just we were
all jumping around.

Speaker 1 (43:35):
That Bill everybody Chiefs game.

Speaker 2 (43:37):
We were live on the air doing a Sunday night
show at that time, Craig, we were still doing weekends
here at Fox Sports Radio. And I remember being in
the studio with no horse in the race. I'm not
a Bills guy. I'm not a Chiefs guy. That might
have been the most exciting NFL game that didn't include
a team I cared about.

Speaker 1 (43:54):
Remember the excitement. You know, we were getting out of our.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
Seats in the studio, and that's that's exactly actly what
we're getting at. You're out of your seats, you can't
help yourself, and you're jumping around like an idiot.

Speaker 1 (44:05):
All right, Jerry in Lancaster, what's up, Jerry?

Speaker 11 (44:08):
The year was twenty twenty two, the month of October.
It's when we beat the Dodgers from the NLCS and
Techo and I was there.

Speaker 2 (44:17):
Ooh, Danny g brings me, brings back memories, right, Yeah,
this is not Manny Machado on the phone.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
Yeah, thank you. How did that turn out for the Padres? Hey?
We'll see this upcoming series though. Is that what's their
theme again? That's what's it? That's what too.

Speaker 2 (44:34):
I don't know if everybody remembers that, but they had
those bozo dudes that went viral from rapping that stupid
terrible rap song that was there was like a Padres. Yeah,
jam the Padres like rap crews, a bunch of old dudes.
So you know, you know you have a copy of
that on Mexic cassette single. I got it on my
Spotify playlist. Let's go to Chili in Ohio. What's up, hey, Chili?

Speaker 12 (44:54):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (44:54):
Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 1 (44:55):
Man?

Speaker 2 (44:56):
What moment comes to mind where you got out of
your seat and you lost a little bit as a fan?

Speaker 12 (45:01):
Okay, so I'm gonna take it back from the eave
of the Broncos. The Raiders seven up this weekend Old
Mile High Stadium. I can't remember, it was ninety seven,
ninety eight. Put it was the Monday night football game
and that day in Denver, it snowed like a bunch
in the Old Wile High Stadium. The visitors' locker room.

(45:25):
There was no cover on it, so we were absolutely
pelting the Raiders hit snowball. The only time we could
have hit them with the snowball is when they were
on the field. And I've never seen a Raiders funner
so happy to get on the field.

Speaker 2 (45:44):
That just sounds like a time that you oddly remember.
What does that happen? It's funny because I brought up
the name Lincoln Kennedy. He and a couple other Raiders
were I don't know. I guess they got a little
slap on the risk because they were throwing snowballs back
at the fans there. Thank you, Buddy Jim in Saint
Louis's Jim, Hey, guys.

Speaker 9 (46:04):
After the two thousand and four World Series, I had
written my Cardinals off and then two thousand and five
against the Astros, I was actually sleeping during the most
of the game and then my wife wakes me up.
It game five. You you got to get up now,
and we had we had to think. I think, at first,
this one guy on and then another guy gets on,

(46:24):
and then Poohl brought it back for me, brought my
faith back, restored everything for me.

Speaker 11 (46:30):
And they're still looking for that ball right now, that
ball that.

Speaker 9 (46:35):
It was out of there in one second. It was
the trajectory. The guy's on the plane, the Astros plane
said hey, there, we just saw the ball go by.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Damn. Thank you, Jim. How do you fall asleep? So
what's going on with this guy? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Come on, phone callers, stepping up a notch. Jim Huntington Beach, Hey, Jim, Yes, I'm.

Speaker 6 (46:53):
An eighty two year old diehard Yankee fan and last
night was a Bucky bleeping van much if I've ever
seen one in my life.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
It was right.

Speaker 7 (47:03):
It was a Bucky dance moment.

Speaker 9 (47:05):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yeah. Did you say you're eighty three? Yeah? Two eighty two?

Speaker 11 (47:10):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Young and sound like a young fella. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
And by the way, that's coming from an eighty two
year old telling you rich like I said it, and
it sound the corny, But that was one of those.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
Magical like Yankee.

Speaker 2 (47:21):
I mean, this is this the guy that watched Mickey
mannon You know, I feel like you sole a magical
moment from the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
That was a Yankee moment.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
And I say that respectfully not to make you roll
your eyes or anything. Uh, but thanks for the call man.
Thanks for listening. I don't have to roll my eyes.
Everyone else's yeah. I mean hey in Texas.

Speaker 1 (47:38):
Hey what up? Jack?

Speaker 13 (47:40):
How's it going?

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Guy? Wrap this up?

Speaker 2 (47:42):
Give us a moment where you jumped out of your seat,
like in just a memorable moment that you got pumped
about as a grown man.

Speaker 13 (47:48):
Well, I'm actually going to take you guys back to
I mean, you were just there, the loveliest village on
the plane, the greatest moment in college football history. I
was actually in the stadium for the kick six where
I mean we beat Alabama to go to the.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
That was pretty legendary, you know what I was thinking
of when it comes to thanks, But when it comes
to those moments, it's, uh, it's something that you don't
eat the best moments when you don't think there's a
chance of it happening. Yeah, that's what that's That's only
the basis of this, like, yeah, it's over, like you're
moping around the youth. So you know, that's why I

(48:25):
brought up that ridiculous anthy Ruiz thing. I didn't think
he was gonna beat Anthony Joshua. All the people that
left the arena thinking that all the Spurs had beaten
the Miami Heat and then just like that, like you know,
those moments, I can't believe what I just saw moments,
you know, And I couldn't last night, man, I thought
the Mets were done. And especially I'm not used to
the Mets stepping up like that. I'm not used to

(48:47):
those met type of moments. There's a lot of games
this weekend and Rich has two TVs. But which one
is rich Big TV Game of the Week.

Speaker 1 (49:03):
You should see my fat up.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
I got an extra TV the game game that I
will have Rich's Big TV Game of the Week. It's
Rich's Big TV Game of the Week, perfect anyone else
from Syracuse through the Big TV Game of the Week.

Speaker 4 (49:19):
I want to call it Rich's big heads, Big TV
Game of the Week. Rich, you're gonna watch tonight Seyraccus
and UNLV big game.

Speaker 1 (49:27):
Yeah, go UNLV and tell him in the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 8 (49:30):
Will you also jump in the pool if you get
into the Hall of Fame? Or are we going to
see that as well?

Speaker 1 (49:34):
Yes, only if you want to see it, Dan So
Big TV Game of the Week.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
There's a full slate of the early games, late games,
and with the extra TV I always say that you
get the Sunday ticket, you get the split screen going,
but then you have to wheel in the second TV
because one game in each time slot deserves the volume
and it deserves a solo TV right early.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
In the day. We're lucky enough to have not only
Playoff Baseball this weekend.

Speaker 2 (50:03):
We got a six thirty am local game out here
on the East Coast, nine thirty am because it's in London,
Jets and the Vikings. That gets all the TV's because
nothing else is on at that time point. Yeah, so
wake up early, brew that coffee, Go get your cold
brew or something. And you got Sam Donald against his
old team, the Jets. That's awesome and that's gonna be
a really good one. Aaron Rodgers, Sam Donald, Hey, bigger

(50:26):
story this year as far as like these dudes are
awesome Donald, Gino Smith, o.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
Mayfield. I think Sam Donald's the clear number one here.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, fantastic story this guy, So Jets, Vikings, of course,
solo TV. Nothing else is on now your early games,
the ten AM's out here, one PM's on the East Coast.
I think you got to give the big TV to
the Ravens Bengals. As the Bengals try to get back
in it. Right, they're one to three, but it's a
tough climb when you start owing three. But they're playing
the Ravens. I just don't know if Burrow's got enough

(51:01):
to Lamar Jackson, Derrick Henry. I think they're they're gonna
start really rolling so big TV Ravens Bengals. Now, some
may say, dude, what about the Bills Texan CJ. Stroud,
Josh Allen. You might go with that one too. That's
a toughy. But I'm gonna go Bengals Ravens late game.

(51:21):
If I want to do my Homer pick, I'll say
forty nine Ers Cardinals a game in a real hot
Santa Clara area. Niners need to win, but Danny g
I will say two two and two teams both win.
Both need to win to really stay in the mix.
No one wants to drop to two and three in

(51:41):
the AFC West Raiders Broncos. Are you nervous about this
one or do you feel pretty confident?

Speaker 6 (51:48):
Well?

Speaker 3 (51:49):
I don't know how to feel with everything all the
noise surrounding the Raiders right now. But as far as
the Raiders' recent history against the Broncos, they have not
lost to the Broncos since Oakland.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Do you know that? Well, they have not lost to
the Broncos as the Las Vegas Raiders.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
So they've given the Broncos the courtesy at home minus
three field goal favorites. But to me, it's sort of
like a pick of like which one of these teams
is a pretender? Which is a contender as they say,
because I feel like, all of a sudden, you're gonna
be like, wow, Sean Payton's three and two or Antonio Pierce.
So now this team is battling to three and two,
so one team will walk away over five hundred. So

(52:28):
I think that's a pretty sweet game later in the day.
And then Sunday Night football throughout this whole day, by
the way, he got Major League Baseball Divisional Playoffs, but
Sunday nights at doozy as well. Cowboys at Steelers. The
Steelers keep rolling with Justin Justin fields. What do you
think the Cowboys hop to three and two of themselves

(52:50):
on the road. I think it's sounds bounce back Cowboys week.
I feel say that's what I would think, but who knows.
So Fangals, Ravens forty nine, Ers, Cardinals, and then the
Laking Convoys cames.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
But I feel like my pick might be a little homer.
So if you want to watch Raiders Broncos.

Speaker 6 (53:08):
Do that.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
Okay, and now it's time for weekend hob nobin live
in for the weekend.

Speaker 7 (53:15):
You're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing, you.

Speaker 9 (53:19):
Ever done anything dangerous?

Speaker 1 (53:20):
You ever dance with the devil?

Speaker 7 (53:21):
In the panel line?

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Friday brings us weekend hob Nobby All right, I'll kick
it off. Cabino here representing w MSc ninety point three.
Stop it.

Speaker 2 (53:36):
They're never good, They're never gonna respect you. Maybe, yeah,
maybe the honumorary window. Nice try here on Fox Sports Radio,
I gotta continue American Sports Story. Episode four is out.
That's the Aaron Hernandez story on Hulu. We had the
main star, Josh Rivera, on our over Promised podcast if
you want to check it out. I got so tired
I didn't finish episode four. But it's getting freaky deeky

(53:56):
this story, and it's really good Rivera. And I'm not
just saying this because he joined our show. He should
win an award for this performance.

Speaker 1 (54:03):
It's great, it really is. I don't know, if there's
enough buzz is everybody watching. If not, definitely do that.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
But I also got to continue on Netflix Rich the Monsters,
the Menendez brothers story. A You're gonna be trying to
get him out of jail with Kim Kardashian, Oh no,
because I think I know the story. So I'm so
confused as to why Kim Kardashian is trying to get
them freed all this well, much like, all right, do
you remember the Jinks how Robert Durst on microphone said
some stuff, and then remember the Dassies on making a murderer.

(54:31):
A lot of these true crime stories, what what they've
done is if they're on Netflix or Hulu or Amazon,
they get buzz and sometimes like these cases are reversed
and now there's new evidence that maybe the Menenda's parents
molested other people and that would possibly add to the
case and they might get out of jail. So as
a result of the popularity of the show and the buzz,

(54:52):
Kim Kardashian saying she's trying to get them freed as
of today, So I'm like, I gotta watch dress of it.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Any ways, freaking of a true crime Have you been
following this thing all day.

Speaker 2 (54:59):
My wife obsessed this morning with the girl that found
a rolled up carpet in her yard. Yes, and it's
like it's developing all day. She thought a dead body
might be in her yard. This girl went from like
a regular chick tens of millions of people watching her moves.
And yeah, they had dogs sniff in her yard and
cops and FBI were there.

Speaker 1 (55:20):
So yeah, true crime is like like what CNN found
pick Foot.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
I'm war into the big Foot story that's going on
as we speak. Also, UFC three oh seven, you got Perera, Rountree,
Pennington and Paania the co main event women's bantamweight. You
got Jose Aldo and Bautista, so not the wrestler rich
Mario Bautista UFC three oh seven. And of course Royals

(55:48):
at Yankees, first time they're going at it since nineteen eighty.
You know I'll be watching that brother. Now, a couple
things you have to watch if you need a little
time out from all this great divisional baseball. I'm excited,
not only to watch my Mets, Phils, Dammy g Dodgers Padres.
I know you're gonna bring it up, but I think
everyone should be locked into that because the Dodgers are staffed.

(56:09):
You know, you got Otani and Mookie and Freeman, but
that Padres team is playing with some fire.

Speaker 1 (56:14):
I can't wait to watch every game of that series.

Speaker 3 (56:16):
Yeah, five thirty eight pm, first pitch tomorrow. That's of
course LA time. Yeah so I mean, yes, I was
sam which you got, what's.

Speaker 7 (56:25):
Time for Dodger ballancastic?

Speaker 2 (56:31):
But if you need a if you need a break
from your baseball playoffs and your football college and NFL,
love is blind, you know, make fun of me all
you want. This is ridiculously entertaining. There's one guy in
the show that he's there because he wants a woman
to love him, not for his money.

Speaker 1 (56:48):
But Leo's this guy talks about is his money. Leo
the art dealer.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
I'm the heart dealer. I don't want anyone to love
me for my money. But guess what, ladies, I have
so much money, but I want you to love me.

Speaker 3 (56:57):
I don't know what to do with it. You know
who's perfect for him? Britney Ook. She's the blonde with
fake boob. She says she only used to date rock
stars and athletes, and she expects a man to pay
for one hundred percent of every.

Speaker 1 (57:09):
And she said, I my goal is to be a
trophy wife. That's a that's a quality woman right there.
So it's ridiculous in the stupid entertainment department. So you
got that.

Speaker 2 (57:20):
And uh, if you need like a fun little rom
com type of show to watch with the wife your girlfriend.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
I love Kristen Bell. I find her to be super likable.

Speaker 2 (57:28):
Nobody wants this is Adam Brody's got a lot of
buzz and Kristen Bell he's a rabbi. She's not Jewish
at all, So everyone friends all you like not Jewish
at all. They can't Shoin a Toba.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
Everyone's saying, no way it could work. So it's sort
of like this, like fun Romeo and.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
Juliet type of rom com. So I don't know, watch
that if you want. Nobody wants this, I'm.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
