Speaker 1 (00:20):
I'm sorry about your Mets, but they've always bounced back,
so I'm feeling good about tonight. But then again, you're going,
so I don't know how good I should feel. But
congrats to your Dodgers too. Danny G I'm like, I'm like,
in between here.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Wait, hold on, hold on, guys, one second. Oh, Toni's
home run just landed. Yeah, Oh my goodness, dude. Even
my mom hit me up. She's like, that was incredible.
I'm like, I know, Mom, I don't think I've ever
seen one hit like that at City.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
Feel Donny over the foul pole, dude. My wife was like,
what does that mean. I've never seen one call over
the foul pole like that?

Speaker 4 (00:57):
What a blast, dude.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
It was almost I mean, I'm exactly but out of
the stadium, but it was up there, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
It had the height. That was a bomb.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
It definitely would have went into Dodgers Stadium parking lot
had that been back in La.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
So the Dodgers hitting bombs and you got Key k
playing like show, Hey, Dodgers looking hot right now. But
the Mets have always fought back. But are they throwing
in the towel like the duke in Rocky four? Are
they throwing? Are they throwing in the towel? Because there's
some rumors. We also got to do a little old

(01:32):
school win fifty hits here on the show.

Speaker 4 (01:34):
We throw it back.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Every Thursday on Cavino and Rich we'll be talking Mulligan's
plus richest Solar Power Parlay. We have lots to get to,
but riches in New York for the game. Are you
the mush or not?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Let's break it down when we get to the solar
power parlay.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Let it be known that my own teams have been
failing me, but as far as our parlays and our
teaser bets, we are on fire, dude.

Speaker 4 (01:57):
In fact, thank you to the New York Liberty.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Last night they completed my six for six New York parlay.

Speaker 4 (02:03):
Gotza pizza, pizzau God Dandy.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I'm at the Dodgers bets game. I'm skipping ahead. But
my buddy's like, are you checking the Liberty score at
a playoff game?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
I go through.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
You don't know why because the Liberty was losing that
whole game.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
So I an escue.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I owe her some pizza too, because she hit that
pretty much logo three to seal the victory.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
So the Liberty is up to one.

Speaker 5 (02:24):
But what kind of did you promise our crew.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Grandma Grandma style?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, pizza Brooklyn Wagon, Yes, Brooklyn Pizza Wagon, Pizza Brooklyn Wagon,
whatever it's called Brooklyn there it is Pizza Eshion of Brooklyn,
one of the best spots out here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
And Rich, you owe everybody.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
But you know, before we talk about what a mush
you are, because we got stats to prove it, we
gotta give you prompts. There six for six with the
New York teams, Rich turned his fifteen dollars, his measly
fifteen dollars into five eighty eight or five eighty what
was it?

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Five eighty eight in fact, to be honest, without six
sixteen because sixteen's my lucky numbers, Joe Montana, So I
said I'll do sixteen dollars. So sixteen, my lucky number
turned it to five eighty eight.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
Hey, now we don't force you to play along, but
if you did, how cool was that?

Speaker 5 (03:13):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
So, look, Rich is hot in some aspects of life,
Like you're stubble Rich. It looks fantastic, thanks man, Yeah,
look how hot he looks. But when it comes to
your status so hot of going to the games, dude,
between Super Bowls with the forty nine ers and playoff
games and Mets baseball, I don't know where you stand

(03:36):
because you tried blaming it. He tried dishing it yesterday.
If you listen closely on his daughter, he said his
daughter's oh for four. Then I went home and thought
about it, and I'm like, well, Rich's at the game tonight.
And then again, his daughter is only seven. It's not
like she went by herself. He's trying to claim she's
oh and four. How about you are the stinkaroo here.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
Let's let's do the math.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
And I know Spot was saying before the show, He's like,
you guys don't really believe.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
In this Spot. I'd like to think not.

Speaker 2 (04:07):
But when you do the math, it's it's hard to
be like, maybe there's something. So as you know I'm
a Niners fan. Super Bowl with Kaepernick and Harbavus the Ravens.
I was there, oh and one, both Super Bowls against
the Chiefs lost loss, oh and three. I was at
one of the World Series games in two thousand, Remember
the game Jeter hit a leadoff home run and that
was the only run.

Speaker 4 (04:28):
Yeah, guess who was at that game? Rich? Twenty fifteen.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I caught a couple of the games guests which ones
the ones where the Royals won the World Series on
the field?

Speaker 4 (04:38):
Oh my god, this is heartbreaking.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
So when you do the math and added up, Oh,
guess who came back to New York for that one
game wildcard in twenty sixteen?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
You correct again?

Speaker 1 (04:50):
Wasn't that when they know? When did they zoom in
on you crying in the stands? What year was that?

Speaker 6 (04:54):
Was that?

Speaker 4 (04:54):
Twenty fifteen? Oh? I'm sorry? Did you want to go
back to six? When I went to Game seven and
they lost in the NLCS.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
I was, oh sick. Look, Rich and I have been
working together so long. My memories are jumbled here, but
that's a true story. They zoomed in on him and
your dad, wasn't your dad there?

Speaker 4 (05:09):
Yeah? What a memory? Father memory.

Speaker 5 (05:12):
No, they did.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
They zoomed in on him and he was like, you
saw the tears welling up. He looked like pussing Boots
from Shrek. He looks so sad. So dude, have you
won any major postseason game between football and baseball?

Speaker 4 (05:25):
Ever?

Speaker 6 (05:26):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Okay, so then you're the mush? Do you believe in
it or not? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox,
Danny G's believing in it because he's saying, well, Rich
is going tonight. That's good for my Dodgers again.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
But let me give you a little James believing in
it so much Danny G dan by all the Dodgers
fans bo everyone of the Fox Sports radios chipped in,
they want me to go Sunday at Dodger Stadium.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
I don't know if this legend is true, but if
anyone has seen the classic of Bronx tale Chas Palm
of Teeri Robert de Niro, there was a guy named
Eddie Mush Montero, and they called him the Mush because
every time he bet he lost. And there's a famous
scene in a Bronx Tail where they're at the racetrack

(06:07):
and everyone bet on kryptonite and when they realized he
bet on kryptonite. Everyone just ripped up their tickets and
he's there, like, come on Kryptonite, come on, dryp tonite.

Speaker 4 (06:19):
And he was the Mush. He never won. Everybody hated him.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
They didn't want to see his face when they were
at a game or gambling, and he was that dude.
Is rich to Jinks, is rich to Mush. Everybody knows
the Mush. Everyone knows someone that seems to have that
bad luck. Rich has good luck betting, good luck in life,
but when it comes to his sports teams, maybe he
just made some crappy choices.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Spot we'll remember this.

Speaker 2 (06:44):
We were in Vegas where this is where Mush is
coming to play as there's movies the cooler. We were
playing blackjack and we were just watching one of our buddies.
He was rolling like this is the guy and I
hate exaggerated Vegas stories like he won much money. But
we had a guy that started out with a reasonable
like two hundred bucks. He was up to thousands and

(07:07):
he couldn't be stopped. Our buddy Matt in Minnesota sat
down next to him.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
He could I get in on this. Within five minutes,
the thousands he had won.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
God, God, this guy ruined the blackjack table, ruined the vibe,
I mean vibes, MUSHes rib I don't know what you
believe him, but I'll just put it at this. Or
maybe Rich isn't cheering hard enough.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
I don't know. Is it that much?

Speaker 5 (07:31):
Definitely it?

Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah, but dude, think about it. Come on, that's like
really bad luck. Like Rich, you would think you would
have gotten one win out of all these choices you've made.
Maybe tonight's tonight, I don't know, tonight could break the streak.

Speaker 4 (07:43):
More reason to watch.

Speaker 2 (07:44):
Hey, Cove, Spotty, Danny G, I was Sam, the whole crew.
I just want to let it be known since we've
all been friends, and I've been friends with Spotty and
Cove a bit longer than Danny G. And I was saying,
but multiple super Bowls, like you heard, playoff games that
I've chosen to go to, dating back to the year
two thousand, winless, winless, win wildcard games, winless, winless. One

(08:11):
could argue, if you're gambling, man, I'm not telling you
what to do, but you may want to bet on
the Mets tonight because it's like you go to a casino,
cavino if you see a roulette table and it's like.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Red Red Red Red Red Red Red Red.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Eventually got a hit, right, It's yeah, do you believe
Do you believe that Riches Doe or Rich is just
a much is rich? The real life Eddie Montenaro is
his name. I think I said Montero Montenaro is the
guy from a Bronx tail is rich.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
The real life guy is rich.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
I can only I can only laugh about it because
I'm seeing friends, I've seen family, I got some good pizza,
I'm enjoying my time in New York. But I can't
ignore the fact that I came here to see my Mets.
And between game one, which I took my wife and
two kids to and spent a fine penny on that
end Game three, let me give you the stat line.

(09:05):
The Dodgers seventeen runs nineteen hits, the Mets zero runs
seven hits. So in the two games I've gone to
so far, yeah, Dodgers are winning seventeen nothing.

Speaker 1 (09:19):
And by the way, that's the difference of could be
the greatest time or just like the weakest, saddest time.
And to really paint the picture, Rich went to Dodgers
Stadium last week with his entire family, and it was
like a somber event in.

Speaker 5 (09:35):
Almost an identical score.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
I know that's what made me feel like, you know
this JINX was following him to New York.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
You know, maybe it's the trade off, Rich.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
You know, my dad always says, he always says, hey,
it was cooking, But aside from that, he always says,
when you kissing, ass no. But besides that, he always says, like,
you know, you're always going to be successful in you profession,
in your job, but not in love, meaning that life
won't give you both, So like take what life gives

(10:06):
you and run with it. Maybe Rich, you just get
blessings in life, but not with sports. Maybe you could
turn this into like a business where people hire you
to go to the game for the opposing team to lose,
you know, co But think about it. Rich is very
and very lucky in a lot of ways.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
You're blessed with a great head of hair, beautiful kids,
they're all happy and healthy. You have a wife that's
way too hot for you. He's a weenie with a
model baby. He's a weenie with a model And maybe
God's just like, yeah, you know, I think I gave
him enough screw the Mets in the forty nine ers.
In every game in the postseason, he goes.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
To would a disguise? Would a disguise work? Bobby Valentine
nose and glasses? Or if he's one of the broke
grimaces in the crowd.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Danny g That's why it's going to be extra fun
to follow him live on over promise, our special instaut
Graham live Over promised after the show live from City Field. Now,
you could argue, like you said, it's all coincidence, or
maybe I'm the mush What your dad said, I think
is a sentiment a lot of our parents share because
maybe they were just more superstitious. Because my dad always

(11:16):
says you can't be lucky in love and money at
the same time. Yeah, that's my dad's thing, and he
says that I'm a great example of that. He's like,
you're always gonna do good professionally, you're always gonna make
your money. You got luck there, which means you're probably
gonna always struggle with your love life. And yeah, it
hasn't been an easy path, that's the truth.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well, tonight I'll be going live on Instagram and I'll
be doing Instagram stories every inning to give a little
a feel of what's going on at City Field. I
will say, though I don't condone violence, but if I
do see grimace, I give them a punch in the
nose because I.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Don't sure go for It'll put it on cameras so
we can go viral. But Fox Sports Radio Nation, this
is where we turn to you. You do you believe
in this at all? Or is it just coincidence? Do
you believe in a mush? Do you believe in Eddie Montanaro?
Is there one in your life? Do you have a
story like Rich's gambling story? Your riches, amazing postseason stats?

(12:14):
And that being said, not only do Dodgers fans see
the writing on the wall do the.

Speaker 4 (12:21):
Mets see the writing on the wall too?

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Because there's a rumor, Rich, to add to your misery
that they canceled their World Series merchandise order.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
No, no, no, no, what do you mean?

Speaker 6 (12:31):
No?

Speaker 4 (12:32):
Did I misinterpret this? Yes?

Speaker 2 (12:33):
How so this is bulletin board material for the Mets.
There's inside scoop that MLB always prints out merch for
all the teams. And you know, the whole joke is,
you know, kids in random countries get the wrong shirts. Yeah,
they put a hold on the Mets, but said print
the Dodger stuff and the and the Yankees.

Speaker 3 (12:54):
I believe, right, Yeah, this is not coming from the Dodgers.
So it was.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
A DM that actually our old pal, Evan Roberts of
the Fan posted out there.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
So people are like, yo, dude.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
Yeah, this would be Baseball's mistake, not the Dodgers mistake.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
Oh oh yeah, this is just this is like almost
the Mets.

Speaker 2 (13:15):
If you're gonna if you believe in bulletin board material,
if you're a Rocky who puts a picture of the world, yeah,
I mean, if that's the case, maybe the Mets hear
this and in the in the clubhouse that I do like.

Speaker 4 (13:25):
And even Baseball countered us out. Let's go. Do you
want me to read it to you real quick?

Speaker 5 (13:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Okay, this says according to direct messages to wf An
host Evan Roberts, who Rich and I worked with closely
back in the day.

Speaker 4 (13:37):
He's a great dude.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
He got this DM on his Twitter x page says
MLB is not banking on the Mets digging out of
a two to one NLCS whole, so it's a bit
of a conspiracy. But this DM to our pal says,
so someone close to me works for like a shipping
container mobilization unit company works rent from them for big events.

(14:02):
They got to call it eight am from Fox in
their account, canceling their city field order for World Series
merchandise while green lighting their Yankee Stadium and Dodger Stadium
orders for full charge. In history of the company and
these events, the networks have only done this before with
only two wins by a team in a series. So
people are saying, are speculating based on this and take

(14:25):
of it what you will. I don't know how legit
that is, but they're saying, hey, have the Mets already
thrown in the town.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
There's a way to look at this that will ruin
the fun of our little story. Well a way that's
the story.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
There's a way that you could say, well, they can't
leave New York going to the World Series because the
best the Mets could leave New York is up.

Speaker 4 (14:45):
Three to two.

Speaker 1 (14:47):
I got yeah, I get it right. So maybe that's
why they want to print the stuff and send it
to New York. But the fans in New York would
still want World Series gear I'm just telling you what
people are buzzing a keeping you posted Fox Sports Radio
Nation as the Yankees have two men on, I'm doing
the show with the mush. Is that bad luck to

(15:09):
be watching the Yankees with Rich? He's the mush? Here
they got let's see Cleveland has two on no outs
in the first right now, he's got a bloop single.

Speaker 5 (15:19):
He has to be in attendance there.

Speaker 4 (15:21):
He has to be in attendance.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
And Rich, Just for the record, Clark Schmidt is on
the mound for the Yanks, and Aaron Boone has said
like he's never short of confidence, Like what you get
out of this dude is guy who totally believes in himself,
to the point where Aaron Boone thought he was delusional
when he first met him, and then his talent started
to match his confidence after a while.

Speaker 4 (15:42):
So I'm confident.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
His last appearance against the Guardians five innings, pitch seven,
k's only one in run, so hoping he gets out
of this first with a scoreless inning. But who cares
about my Yankees right now? This game's early. Rich is
going to City Field again tonight. Does hee if he
could break this remarkable streak? Really Danny G's glad he's

(16:05):
going because Rich has proven to be the mush when
you break down the stats since the early two thousands.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
From the year two thousand. In the year two thousand,
Rich hasn't been.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
He hasn't been to one winning postseason baseball game or
Super Bowl victory.

Speaker 4 (16:25):
Yeah, and you've been to three super Bowls. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
When I'm there, things don't go my way. I enjoy
you a nice little shake check Burger last night to drink,
but no such luck. I was thinking about it, man.
And for as much as we get on you, I
think you're a pretty resilient guy.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
Like I give you a lot of credit for.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Still getting up and rolling out to New York City
by himself just to you know, go there and be
a part of it when life has showed you already
like maybe it's not worth it. Like at this point, Rich,
I might have been like, for what, I'm just gonna
stay home and watch and hope they wait to overcome adversity. Rich,
I know, thanks Spott, but he's still he's still going

(17:06):
out there, so they're gonna eventually win the trauma you've ensued, Well,
this is my phone.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well, I mean it's fine, you don't like it. You
don't like a sports team, so you will never understand
what he's making.

Speaker 4 (17:15):
It sound like you like overcame tragedy. Hey, he's fine.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
You know it's easier saying you know what, I'll just
stay home and watch because every time he goes, he
leaves sad madg just spending that much money to deal
with misery.

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Think of all the money he.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Spent on Super Bowl tickets, travel his flights even this week,
two tickets to these games. He paid thousands of dollars
for his whole family to for Dodger Stadium last week.
That's why I get paid to deal with misery every
day here on Fox Sports Radio. Seriously, I think you're
a resilient guy. I think I'll never understand. No, I understand, please,

(17:51):
I really would. I would have been like whatever, the
bleeding heart. It's like, calm down, I want to go
to the phones real quick. Some people haven't top down.
What are you passionate about, Harry Potter? I am, Yeah,
I'm very excited about the new series coming out on
HBO Max next year.

Speaker 5 (18:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (18:05):
Really joking? And you're serious about that.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Brad in Virginia says he has advice. Why don't you
go root on grown men?

Speaker 1 (18:12):
What about like Wizard talking about how there's Studeley and
how they wear tight pants?

Speaker 5 (18:17):
Go for it.

Speaker 4 (18:18):
Well that's the case, spot, then you'll be very happy
to know.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
While we take this phone call, want to take a
look at the new Skims model, Donovan Mitchell.

Speaker 4 (18:25):
I've already seen that. Come on, they're saying.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
In fact, I think they should call it the bulge line. Jesus,
let's go to Brad. What's up, man, Hey, Brad Virginia,
you're on.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
Hey, what's up? Guys?

Speaker 7 (18:35):
Hey man?

Speaker 8 (18:35):
I love the show.

Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yes, yeah, it's kind of crazy. I feel a little
bad for.

Speaker 4 (18:40):
Rich All right, well I do too, And I love
the idea about this.

Speaker 6 (18:46):
Trying to trick the guys on this.

Speaker 8 (18:48):
But all he's gotta do is place on the Dodgers'
toro the curse.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Oh, throw money on the Doyers. Oh throw it that first.
That's like trying to buy a victory.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Like like I let's say I'm like five hund on
the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Then if the.

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Mets win, I'm like, yes, then I spent five hundred
dollars for Mets win.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
Now I'm buying wins.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
You know that's kind of interesting though, because we throw
expressions around like that all the time, mush and jinks
and sports gods. You think there's any truth to that,
because I'll tell you this, I swear to God if
you believe it for the good, right, Like, you feel
an energy, you feel chemistry. You know when it's there.
Riches Dodgers have some chemistry. You see the chemistry kicking in,

(19:31):
the juice kicking in for the Dodgers. Now Key k
stepping up, he's coming up, clutch. Dude, you don't think
there was magic and mystique with the Yankees in the nineties,
those those Jeffrey Mayer moments, these unbelievable moments, like you
felt like the sports gods were on your side. If
they could be on your side, you don't think they
could be not on your side?

Speaker 2 (19:51):
Can mean no, I mean it doesn't only work one way.
Are you gonna be imagine being an old guy, you're
ninety something years old, You're you die and all of
a sudden, you go to heaven and sports god me.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You're like, come on, I'm just saying there's something to
the fact that, like I said, maybe it's just an
energy thing. Certain teams press more and you're Mets fans,
You guys, you're so on edge, you're so excited. Maybe
that's feeding on the team. Maybe it's not just rich,
but it's just bad luck for your team.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
It's kind of like the ball don't lie. It makes
you feel like maybe there's something to it. I know
I'm not the only one. When I'm at home in
my living room watching my favorite team and they score
and I'm excited, but then a little bit later something
bad happens to the team, I feel like, Oh, it's
because I'm sitting in a different spot. I need to
go sit over there where they scored the touchdown.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
I saw Danny g I saw a video of a
dude that was standing in the cold outside watching through
his window because the team scored a touchdown when he
was outside.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I mean, we as sports fans do buy into some
of the stuff. dB, what do you think?

Speaker 9 (20:54):
You know what it's interesting with the Mets here and
I say, this is a non interested especially even Cavin.
You know, you're a New York guy, so you're kind
of tied with the Mets. I feel like the Mets
were such an underdog story and with the Dodger struggles
that when we entered the NLCS, all of a sudden,
the Mets kind of became the favorite because you just
assume that they're winning, was gonna continue, yeah, and the

(21:17):
Dodgers were gonna figure out some way to blow it.
And it's like, geez, did the Mets then take on
this thought of like, okay, now we are the favorite
because we are destined to it.

Speaker 5 (21:26):
It was a weird kind of switch during this NLCS.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
There is an interesting dynamic because going into the I
mean even the last month of the season, you would
have thought, Wow, the Mets are just gonna be happy
to be there.

Speaker 4 (21:37):
The Dodgers are the likely.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Nl representative in the World Series. And now if the
Mets went tonight, you know, knock on wood, I'll be there.
So that probably won't happen, but it'll be two too
going into Game five. And it just shows you that
it's a long season. And you could argue, are the
Mets and the Dodgers pretty equal at this point?

Speaker 4 (21:54):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
And do you believe in if they do win? Do
you believe in, well, they're due right, you know, acts
eventually gonna hit. If you got red red red red red.
If Rich keeps going to postseason games, eventually his team's
gonna win.

Speaker 4 (22:08):
Is that tonight? Is that tonight?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I had an observation, and you could say, Rich, they're
all professionals. Get your head out of your s so
prepared to say it because you might want to say
that anyway.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Okay, we're still getting phone calls at eighty seven to
seven ninety nine on Fox. Tell us your story before
we get an update from dB.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
As.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
I went to Dodger Stadium the other day, and I
went to Cityfield last night. Yeah, no, s Sherlock. The
stadiums and vibes are different. But I went to Dodger Stadium.
It was laid back. Dodger fans are palmed. Let's go Dodgers.
It was a chill day, beautiful weather. Even in the
evening it was beautiful. The good to New York. It's

(22:49):
a rowdy, crowd Cityfield. When the Mets put out a
good product, Cityfield was hopping'. There's laser light shows, obnoxious
fans compared to more chill LA people. It was eighty
in La. It was like forty degrees last night. That's
got to affect the mindset and play of these guys.
There are some guys that are like, I don't want
to play in New York and forty degrees.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
I think all of these things play a factor. And
before we take one more phone call, it's Yamamoto on
the hill for the Doyers and Quintana for Jose Kintana
for your Mets, and that's a crapshoot.

Speaker 4 (23:25):
Danny g Less two starts.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
The Yama Moto's last two starts were a gem and
a piece of trash.

Speaker 5 (23:32):
M HM.

Speaker 3 (23:33):
Inconsistent, but we know what he's capable of. He didn't
look like himself returning from the injury, but now he
looks like he's back to his old self. And then
as far as your pitcher, rich I heard from a
Mets friend earlier in the day and he said, Quintana
throws a lot of junk, and if he gets you
to chase, you're in trouble. But if you make him

(23:53):
throw in the zone, then he's in trouble.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
Very good assessment.

Speaker 2 (23:57):
Quintana has the most strikeouts in the National League, maybe
in all Baseball, of guys chasing outside the zone. So
he has deceptive pitches that get a lot of guys
to chase. So if the Dodgers are disciplined, advantage Los
Angeles now.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
And this is funny that do you go do you
go after forget about show hey, because he's just ridiculous,
But guys like Key k do you go after this dude?
Or do you now have to pitch around this guy
because he's so.

Speaker 4 (24:23):
Hot in the postseason.

Speaker 5 (24:24):
He's the opposite of a mush.

Speaker 4 (24:25):
It's so crazy.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
You can't picture around seven of the nine guys in
their lineup.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
It's it's wild.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Okay on, hold on, I love what Danny g just said, right,
because we're trying to say, hey, is there such thing
as a mush? Do you believe in Jenks's Do you
believe in all these things? You gotta believe in people
playing tight, which leads to them being a mush. If
you could see Key k Hernandez and you believe in
clutch and you believe that people you know step up
to those occasions, he's playing way outside of what you

(24:51):
think he's capable of, right or wrong.

Speaker 5 (24:53):
In the in the posts.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
In the post game show last night, they put a
stat on the screen highest ops on road baseball postseason history.
Lou Garrig number one, Babe Ruth number two, Beltron number three, Key.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
K Come number four.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Dude, that's insane.

Speaker 5 (25:11):
He's on the list with Babe Ruth and Lou Garrett.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
Okay, so if guys like Key k Hernandez who were
just like, you know, pretty good players, could be superstars
in the postseason, you don't think the opposite could happen
there for that person is kind of a mush of course.

Speaker 2 (25:27):
Yamamoto. The interesting part about him is that when you
look at the sample size, it's not a bunch of
here because he was injured, but Danny g the last
two starts I speak of where one was cy Young
level and the other one was like get him out
of here in the third inning. They were both against
the Padres, which means the inconsistency is blaring, like he
could go to city Field tonight and pitch seven scoreless

(25:48):
innings or pitch three innings and give up six runs.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
By the way, dude's speaking of a clutch Verdugo, who's
been Astreeks all season. He's kind of on fire. Saame
with Labor Torres. Verdugo just hit a double so yanks
Scott Man on second and third and no Wow, I
believe in the second. Let's take a quick phone call.
Now one out eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
is Cavino and Rich. Clearly we're pumped. The Yanks are

(26:13):
playing now live. Rich is in New York getting ready
for the Mets game. Danny G's excited for his Dodgers. Dwayne,
you're in Texas. What's up, buddy?

Speaker 6 (26:22):
Hey, try being.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
A Vikings fan polling four in the Super Bowls and
crying your.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
Eyes on as a little kid.

Speaker 4 (26:30):
I'll hang out, thanks, ask you. Yeah, listen.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I always think about our friends up in Buffalo, the
upstate New York area where you're in Western New York Buffalo.

Speaker 4 (26:39):
Imagine every year you're like, all right, well we lost
the Super Bowl. We'll win this one. All right, we
lost two, this is the third one.

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Bill's losing four in a row was probably the most
brutal punishment to a fan base, right.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's brutal, you know. And that's what I said. I
give you a lot of credit. If you keep showing
up and getting and you keep getting punched in the face,
part of your natural instinct that's like, well I guess
I'm not going anymore. But you still go and I
give you credit. Tonight might be the end of the streak.
All right, so we ready for an update. You know,
do you know what Bill stands for? What's the old joke?

Speaker 3 (27:13):
Boy?

Speaker 4 (27:14):
I love losing super Bowls? What's up? TV?

Speaker 9 (27:18):
I will say this to that Bill's point. I had
heard that many of Bill's fans didn't even want them
to go to that Fourth Street super Bowl because of
what had happened. And in one of the many documentaries,
and I can't remember which one it was about those
Bills teams, but they had said at halftime of super
Bowl twenty eight, the second time against the Cowboys, they

(27:38):
were actually winning at halftime and they were like, we
were done. It was there was no way that they
weren't going to win the game. They were up thirteen
to six. But they said at halftime of that game,
that team, maybe it was Jim Kelly or Thurman Thomas
who said it, but they knew they weren't going to
win the game, and because it was, they were just exhausted,
like it came to an end, like it was over.

Speaker 1 (27:58):
The minute that want or that doubt enters your brain,
it's over. It's like your performance with a woman if
if a bat thought enters your brain.

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Forget it, You're done.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
Eddie Mush Montenaroxypight. Yeah, that guy. What I forgot to
tell you is that's the real guy in the movie.
They casted the real dude. That was him in the movie.
That was Mush. Yeah, they went looking for him. Yeah,
come on, and they just said, you know what, you're
the guy and he was in the movie. So now

(28:32):
you know the rest of the story. Let's take a
quick phone call. Rob wants to say something about sports superstitions.
Rob and Cincy, you're on with Covino and Rich.

Speaker 6 (28:40):
Thank you guys.

Speaker 8 (28:42):
That's off And I thought he's got I just can't
watch my teams and to the Bengals this year. I've
watched every game I've.

Speaker 6 (28:50):
Under Steen, one touchdown live and the only Cincinnati postseason
game I've never been to.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
H dude, That's why my mom never shows up to
anything important of me. She feels like she's bad luck
and doesn't want to bring it to her son and
Rich Wes and Vegas.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
Hit us up with another one.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Not only has Rich never been to a winning postseason
baseball game or Super Bowl victory or anything of great importance,
he goes. You were there when Jimmy g broke his leg.
Oh my god, I was. You know, Rich is sort
of bad luck. That's why I say I give you

(29:31):
credit for still going. Oh man, I said you need
to like sage yourself or something. But dude, that's what
makes before you go tonight's game, Tonight's game even more fun.
It's gonna be a great game regardless, right, But just
to see if Rich's streak ends tonight or continues, and
you get to play along live on a very special
IG live of over promised our bonus show.

Speaker 4 (29:51):
So join us.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
We're gonna be at Fox Sports Radio at Covino and Rich.
Before you enter the stadium, crawl backwards underneath Tom Severs
Li legs in the statue that's up front.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
You know, my mom was like, walk into the stadium backwards,
go into a different entrance.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
You know what something formulas? I know, I know, I
like this one that's working exactly. Hey, but uh Rich,
look at the time. We do it every Thursday. Let's
go there's a surgeon.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
What we gonna do is go back back into town,

That's fifty after cn R, give you the time capsule
topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Yeah all right, So every Thursday we throw it back.
We reminisce our generation. Very nostalgic. We love to tell stories.
Remember when we drank out of the hose. We love
to talk about this stuff. Who Yeah, shout out out
with the hose. Shout out to the hose man, all
the hose. So every Thursday we get you involved. Fox

(30:57):
Sports Radio Nation. This is when we say, hey, call
and share your story. Be a radio superstar and no pressure.
We're hanging out eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
It happens to be National Mulligan Day. Now, how would
you describe a mulligan like.

Speaker 4 (31:14):
A do over? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:16):
I mean if you if you golf and you take
a bad shot off the tape every round, you might
say we get one or two mulligans.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
You you get a mullego if you could get a
mulligan in life, or you have a story where you
wish you had a mulligan in life eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox, or hit us up at Cobino
and Rich. I know Danny g has a story. We
all have a story of hey, something we wish we
could do over, or maybe you got a chance to
actually do it over?

Speaker 4 (31:42):
Now?

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Could we could we keep this more light and not
go down sad dark paths because I think everyone has
one where like.

Speaker 4 (31:49):
I wish I would have talked to my grandfather about this.

Speaker 5 (31:52):
I thought you were talking to put on my drug
addiction ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Like, let's let's not let's not, you know, take it
down a sad path. Let's let's take it out like
a fun path, like I got one.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
I got want to.

Speaker 2 (32:04):
I I cheated on my high school girlfriend. To be honest,
looking back, all I did was make out with a
different girl at college.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Proudly here's what I did. Here's what I did. Proud
of this. I told her. I wish I just didn't
tell her. Man, madam, integrity, hold on.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
So you did the right thing and your doovers to
do the wrong thing.

Speaker 4 (32:28):
Yeah, this is how this works. Oh what kind of
mulligan is that makes sense? That you are the bush?

Speaker 1 (32:34):
That's the universe back, you're the mush Yeah, spots right,
the universe.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
I did hear the universe has giving you what you deserve.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Creep, Wow, look at rich Davis's trash.

Speaker 4 (32:47):
Oh, Okay, maybe let me kind of try the wrong Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
Wow, Danny Janna and I'll give you one a mullyget
on your answer.

Speaker 5 (32:54):
I can't believe. Yeah. The year was twenty twenty two,
not that long ago.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
That January that the AFC Championship had the Bengals and
Chiefs going at it, and I was in Vegas for
a tour of the new Allegian Stadium. I knew, I
knew well in my mind, in my heart, I knew
that the Bengals were gonna pull this out so rich
you would have been proud of me. I was there
by the sports book about to put a lot of

(33:19):
money down on the Bengals, and at the last minute
I talked to my Wifey, and I was like, yeah,
I don't know. I just don't want to waste any
of our hard earned money. I didn't do it, and
then I watched them kick that field goal to win
twenty seven to twenty four. I watched the Bengals celebrate,
and I thought change changed all that money I missed

(33:39):
out on. You know, if I could go back and
just place that damn bet I was about to place.

Speaker 4 (33:45):
Just give Danny g them all again.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
The do over and I bet you there's so many
people that have great stories about the stocks that they
had or sold right before it hit or something like that.
Everybody has those nightmares.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
I was gonna say, you know the stock one that
always comes to mind for me. Were working at Serious
EXEM at the time, which is where I'm broadcasting from today.
Are our friends at serious.

Speaker 4 (34:04):
X Yeah, we still are affiliated.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
So when sirius XM had hit an all time low
and the market was bad, it was like five cents
a share. Spot and I looked at each other and
we're like, dude, let's pull like ten grands into it.
And then Spot and I were like, oh, maybe maybe
we shouldn't.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Yeah, well guess what we got ten grand? Spot would
have been like half a million dollars. So it's National
Mulligan Day. Your phone calls.

Speaker 1 (34:27):
Next, what would you like to get a due over on?
Maybe you had a chance to do the due over.
I think Rich needs a mulligan from his mulligan. That
example you gave might have been the worst example ever.
You told a story about you cheating on your girlfriend.
You did the right thing and told her, but your

(34:49):
mulligan is to not tell her. Yeah, go back and
not tell her. You realize that's ridiculous, right.

Speaker 2 (34:59):
Like, let me take I'm gonna use I'm gonna use
a mulligan on that answer. You're right, okay, all right,
I'm sorry, perfect, all right? Okay, Oh yeah, at least
you acknowledge that.

Speaker 4 (35:07):
Okay. I feel a lot better now. Okay, you know
now when you said it. When you said it, I
realized what I had said.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Right, Okay, I know you mean it, but I'm not
sure maybe you should say it.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
Or maybe I got one. I got one that's in
the sports world. And again, these could be fun and light.
We don't we like we said.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
I and when Danny has some stories, like we said,
we're all allowing you to share your stories as well.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
We all have real ones like I wish I would
have talked to this family member before they died or something.
Those are the let's stay away from that. Let's keep
a light here. And as far as sports ones, even
when you're not in control, I guarantee we all have
that one play like we have that one playback.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Okay, Rich, didn't didn't you have a story where there
was like a like a tour bus of hot oiled
up Hawaiian tropic models and they stopped and they needed
you to like finish the job or something like that.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
Oh and I told him there's a town right up
that way.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
They're looking for an oil boy. Remember, yeah, man ah, Yeah,
he really blew it.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
Dude, I remember that that That was definitely one of them.
If you do the Rockies, remember that time we were
the Rockies and your hands were freezing and I had
two pairs of gloves.

Speaker 4 (36:16):
Yeah, two pair of gloves.

Speaker 5 (36:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
No as food, we got no jobs our pets. Head man,
we only had to do over.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
There's two sports moments where I'm as a fan, I'm like,
could we do that one over? And I know DB's
obviously would he. I'm imagining he would say, Marshawn Lynch,
run the ball, Seattle.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
That might be the number one answer.

Speaker 5 (36:38):
Dude.

Speaker 2 (36:38):
You nailed me as a Mets fan, maybe in six
when Beltron looked at strike three when when the Mets
that was such a great year. Remember he got frozen
by Adam Wainwright's curveball and he just watched strike three
to end the NLCS.

Speaker 4 (36:56):
Yeah, of course everybody remembers swing the bat.

Speaker 2 (36:58):
Yeah, or as a Niners fan, last year in the
Super Bowl where there was a missed block on the
offensive line and the forty nine Ers had a wide
open guy in the end zone. They would have won
it overtime and beat the Chiefs. Like, oh that we
get that playback. It's always one play Oh I'm getting
sick thinking about it.

Speaker 4 (37:18):
Give me yours Scotch.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Okay, so real life answer and then a fun one,
real life rich and I had a job and it
was a great opportunity we worked hard for. It was
our last gig. I feel looking back, even though it
all worked out for the better, if I had a Mulligain,
I would have went all out. Dude, I feel like

(37:38):
I didn't really go I didn't go the full Monty.
I didn't go full Covino, you know what I mean.
Like I feel like I was playing on eggshells, little hesitant,
listening to what they said instead of trusting my instincts.
And if I had a mulligan, I'd do it over
and really just be the man and lean into that

(38:00):
real life like job situation. Like man, I wish I
would have brought more to it. Yeah, I get it,
but I don't know. I think you did a great job,
I don't think. I mean, I think I did a
good job too, but I wish I would have told
people to shut up and trusted my instincts instead of
following their lead.

Speaker 5 (38:15):
Right.

Speaker 4 (38:15):
So that's my real life mull again.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I think everybody has those sort of job regrets or
maybe relationship regrets, and it's just something that I'm fine
with because we ended up here and things are great.
But I know I could have been a lot more
impactful had I just trusted myself. My own instincts now
a fun one and it's a little bit sports related.
I think I shared this story back when we were

(38:38):
part time Sunday nights here on Fox Sports Radio before
we started dominating afternoons. When I was a kid, I'm
from Union, New Jersey, we weren't surrounded by celebrities. I
never met a celebrity in my life right in my life,
and my parents would take us to Rockefeller Center around

(38:58):
Christmas time just to see the Smiths Tree in New
York City. I'm there in New York City, maybe like
ten years old, bro nine, ten years old.

Speaker 5 (39:06):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (39:08):
I had a mustache, so I guess I was probably
like eleven.

Speaker 4 (39:12):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
I was in a stroller still, so I was probably
like twelve. My parents were pushing me around feet dragging.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
So no, I was a little boy, and I go
to my mom. Oh my god, that's Sugar Ray Leonard.
I told you the story, right, Yeah, you know the story, dude.
It was Sugar Ray Leonard walking down the street New
York City. I grew up in a boxing family. We
were all fans. I was a huge fan of Sugar
Ray Leonard. I couldn't believe my little kid eyes that

(39:43):
Sugar Ray Leonard was there putting me in a headlock.
He called me over, swear to god, his whole team like,
came here, you little pumpkin pie haircut a freak, Give
here a little boy. Sugary Leonard was like, you like
boxing man. I'm like, yeah, Sugary, I love you. You're
my favorite. Puts me in a headlock. We're walking down
the street together, like as if they were filming and

(40:03):
it was a commercial. My mom's going berserk. Steven smile.
They're snapping pictures. Stephen, Oh my god, nobody's gonna believe this.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
Thank you, Sugar Ray.

Speaker 1 (40:14):
Oh my god, Stephen. Sugar Ray smile. My mom is flipping.

Speaker 5 (40:18):
Dude.

Speaker 4 (40:18):
I still remember this clear as day.

Speaker 1 (40:20):
Right, I am like riding on a little kid high,
like I can't believe I just met Sugar Ray Leonard.
He gives me a little fistbump. We invented it. I
don't think the fist bump really existed until that moment,
So I say for didn't you.

Speaker 4 (40:34):
Say for real though? That he was like shadow boxing
with you?

Speaker 1 (40:37):
Yeah, dude, it was so cool. My mom was taking pictures, jumping.
My mom was skipping, like side skipping, snapping pictures because
she was so happy for me and he was so
nice to me. Right, She's like, Stephen, wait till all
your cousins and your uncle Joe see these pictures.

Speaker 4 (40:51):
Wait till everybody sees. They're not gonna believe this.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
And I'm so pumped because like that's automatic cred in
my family.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
Wait till they see me with Sugar Ray Leonard. Dude.

Speaker 1 (41:02):
We get home and my mom is heartbroken, but I'm
even more heartbroken because she's like Stephen, there's no film
in the camera, and dude, I can't sell it as
a little kid though. You know when you you know
when you're a little kid and you go to the
toy store and it is closed, and it's like the
end of the world, and you like want to cry
as a little kid when when you hear this news

(41:24):
you didn't get the pictures you want to you want
to cry. You're heartbroken. I never let my mom live
this down, dude. But guess what. Life gave me a mulligan?

Speaker 5 (41:35):
How do you take.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Pictures with no doesn't it make a different sound? It
was an old school like cannon, like a like a
professional back then sort of camera. It wasn't like a
Polaroid or anything like it. I'll still make the noises. Yeah,
I made the noise clicking and the flash will go off.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
It'll do everything.

Speaker 1 (41:50):
My mom had a sweet camera too, but no film
in it. But life gave me a mulligan.

Speaker 5 (41:56):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (41:56):
Rich? Before I hear Danny's and I was Sam's.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Why I can tell you the end of my story. Oh,
the mulligan is the mulligan is fast forward, rud. The
year is twenty fifteen. I don't know, Sirius ex Sam,
and it's telling people, Yeah, you want Sugary Leonard on
your show?

Speaker 4 (42:18):
Hell, yes I do.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
And I reenacted that photo. I told him the story
and I got down, like on my knees like I
was a little kid, and I posed with him and
he put me in a headlock and I reenacted that
from nineteen eighty something. So life gave me my mulligan.
There you go, and I got my sugar, Ay Leonard picture.

Speaker 2 (42:36):
Can I try a take two before we go to
Danny and the phone calls and Sam and spot you.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
Yes, cause you need a mulligan on your weakest mulligan ever.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Right. So, one time, my wife Sarah and I we
were at a wedding, right, and it was her one
of her friends who was a model. Yes, so a
lot of the guests at the wedding were models.

Speaker 1 (42:55):
Okay, so it's a model's wedding, so she has hot friends.

Speaker 2 (42:57):
Yeah yeah, okay, So my wife and I are on
the dance and we are we got pretty toasty. We
were having a lot of cocktails. Some keep in mind
my wife is like a hot blonde. Some Puerto Rican
model from Miami was like, whisper to Sarah and I.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
What's happening right now? We want to I want to
come back to your room with you guys.

Speaker 2 (43:19):
Oh okay, wait, wait, this hot Puerto Rican model from
Miami told my wife and I, I want to come
back to your room with you guys, and my wife
and I had too many drinks, and I think my
wife would have went along with it. And I made
the decision to say this is a bad idea.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
No, wow, you really redeemed yourself from that high school story.

Speaker 4 (43:44):
So don't have the right idea on this thing. Or No.

Speaker 1 (43:47):
So what you're saying is I hope that's tonight, so
you would go back in time for the do over
to say yes, let's go.

Speaker 4 (44:00):
Yeah. See, I don't think I'm getting I'm bad at
this game.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I mean, I see where you're coming from. But you
realize we're on the radio right now. Look at the time,
I think we got to go to the phones. Okay,
those are trusive thoughts that really winning today? Oh yeah, hey, Rich,
no worries. Mark is on the phone. Hey Mark from
Virginia Beach. If you had a mulligan, let's hear it.

Speaker 4 (44:22):
Maybe you got one.

Speaker 8 (44:23):
Hey, yeah, yeah, I got a doozy man high school
wrestling match. I didn't make weight, so my coach punished
me by making me wrestle a consolation match before the
match actually started the real match, and a couple hours prior,
I had taken x flax so to make weight. So
my mulligan is I wish they're like three mulligans here.

(44:46):
I wish I didn't take the x flax. I wish
I didn't I wish I didn't do the Fireman's carry.
There it is, and I wish I didn't have a
light blue single it on.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Oh you just made me think of another one.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
And by the way, that's a horrible story.

Speaker 6 (44:59):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Yeah, I wish I wish you that you had the
due over. Hey, Rich, I'll give you a mulligan. Like
I said, life sometimes does give you the mulligan. I
got the chance to have a due over with sugar
Y Leonard Rich and I. Rich and I were on
a game show and Rich wore the most ridiculous shirt
on this game show, like this oversized shirt, and it

(45:21):
haunts you till this day because people paused it and
screenshot it and they still share it. If you had
the do over in the mulligan, would you wear something different?

Speaker 2 (45:32):
That's that's possible, But I'm thinking so far, think about
that Puerto Rican hick huh. I think I think I
want to do over on both my mullets.

Speaker 5 (45:38):
Please. The Mulligan is just one.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
I don't say. How many Mulligans do you get? Dude?
Thought this guy in Mulligan Island, Man, Mulligan's Island, give
me one more, one more on that joke?

Speaker 1 (45:52):
Can I get a do over on that bed and
Gilligan's Island joke? Let's go to Joel in Texas. Joel,
it's Mulligan Day National Day. What's your story?

Speaker 6 (46:02):
So I've got two for you?

Speaker 5 (46:05):
Okay?

Speaker 6 (46:07):
So, uh, the first one is my first day with
my current wife but married. We've been married thirty one
years in January. I could not have screwed that data
any worse. The only way she went out with me
is her best friend said, no, he's not that bad,
go ahead and do it again.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Yeah, it worked out that you're happy thirty years later.
So maybe you're Maybe you being a bozo in that
moment worked out, So you know what, I'm not want
to want to change those moments because you never know.

Speaker 4 (46:39):
Yeah, that is true. That is true.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
Rich. So what if you were so slick and she's like,
this guy's too slick for me.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
Maybe she loved your bozo antics, what's your second story, Joel?

Speaker 6 (46:49):
It was the seven overtime A and Ma Lsu gave
a few years ago. Oh yeah, yeah, my best friend said,
screw it, I'm leaving right before the scored and then
into the fourth corner time.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Yeah, those money ones like Danny G's that was tough,
like you're gonna put money on it and you didn't
and it comes through heartbreaking. So hey, if we didn't
get to your phone call, or you want to share
your story or you want to help reach out because
I think he dug a hole for himself.

Speaker 4 (47:22):
Yeah, I don't think I understand this Mulligan game.

Speaker 1 (47:25):
Yeah, then hit us up at Covino and Rich on
social media Instagram, xtok and at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 4 (47:34):
You got one.

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Well, I have a way to tie the Mulligan day
into a story I wanted to bring up real quick.

Speaker 4 (47:39):
Oh sure. So Giselle.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Was asked to be part of the Victoria's Secret fashion
show that happened a couple days ago, and she declined
by saying she was retired. Now, I feel like she
should have said when I tell my family I'm retiring,
I stick to my word, Like I feel like.

Speaker 4 (47:59):
She should have.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Oh wow, I feel like she should have added another
sentence as a little tah. But do you think Tom
Brady would mulligan staying that extra year where it seems
like it sort of was the straw that broke the marriage.

Speaker 1 (48:14):
And he could have went out as a Super Bowl
champ as opposed to Oh he's human even though he
didn't suck. He didn't suck by any means, But it
wasn't like the Tom Brady ending you necessarily wanted. Man,
that's a good one, rich because like you bring up
those life regrets and those situations, Like people's instinct is

(48:36):
always like with me, right, I came from a divorced relationship.
People always like, I bet you wish you could do
that over And I'm like, no, I because I wouldn't
be where I'm at now. It goes back to that
and I wouldn't have had my daughter, and like why
would I have changed anything? Yeah, it was it was
life and it didn't work out. Like I'm sure that's

(48:56):
Tom Brady and how he feels about it, Like, no,
I had I still had some gaming me and I
wanted to play.

Speaker 2 (49:02):
Have you seen the photoshops by the way floating out
of Tom Brady with the new Davis family haircut.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
Oh, it's awesome. Yeah. And by the way, Vince Carter
sort of addressed that recently. Rich He was interviewed recently
about why didn't he, you know, retire sooner or why
didn't he go and play with the Golden State Warriors
if and when he had the chance just to go
for that ring and go for that championship in his career,

(49:30):
and he was like, because he knew what his role
would be there and he'd be the guy coming off
the bench, and he didn't want to be that guy
because he still had game, he still had some mileage left.
And I think Tom Brady probably if given him all again,
would say, nah, man, I still felt in my heart
I could play and I could win, and I wouldn't
change anything. And there's some pride in that too. I'm

(49:50):
sure there's some pride. There's a little maybe untruth to that.
Based on the pride, dB you got something well, Rich
was right with the Super Bowl forty nine and the
one yard line. And the funny thing is is there
was no guarantee that marsh On Lynch would get into
the end zone.

Speaker 5 (50:06):
But how would it have changed the narrative.

Speaker 9 (50:07):
If they just tried it right like that, that's half
of the It's not that it's just the interception. It's
that they didn't give it to Marshawn Lynch at that point,
So you're entirely true. The other thing that I was
going to throw into this is the whole meaning of
mulligan and where it comes from anyway in the world
of golf. And I know you guys aren't big golf guys,
but recently online they were talking about what mulligans would

(50:30):
you want in golf if you had in the history
of golf. And the funny thing is that the one
common one that Kevin coming up was you guys may
not remember this, but fifteen years ago, two thousand and nine,
Tom Watson almost won the British Open at fifty nine
years old. He bogied the last hole. But the debate
was where do you take the mulligan. Do you take
it on the second shot that went over the green

(50:52):
that forced him to then hit a bad chip and
a putt back, or do you have the mulligan on
the pot that would have won it that he missed it.
So there was the debate within the debate sports wise
of where would you take the mulligan? And so that's
the point of like if if the Seahawks ran that
play just to go back to Super Bowl forty nine,
would I want the mulligan to throw it again? No,
I'd want the mulligan to hand it off, like I

(51:13):
wouldn't want to do the same play again, or but
it's just the fact of how do you use that.

Speaker 5 (51:19):
Sort of mulligan? So just unique in the world of golf.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I love that story. I love that thought, like how
would you use the mulligan? And now it's time for
Rich's Solar Power parlay.

Speaker 7 (51:36):
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 draft.

Speaker 4 (51:45):
My Solar Power parlay. Oh raight lose. You're making money
money all right?

Speaker 1 (51:50):
Well, tonight kicks off our NFL weekend. So Rich the mush,
But hold on, he's a mush when he goes to
the game.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
He's been on fire lately. When it comes to.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Three weeks in a row, we've hit three for three parlays,
three leg parlays.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
We've been slaying them. We've been slaying our teaser bet,
so we're hot.

Speaker 2 (52:09):
I maybe rock solid, cold as ice when I go
to see my team play, but these parlays and teasers
were hitting them. So I'll give you one teaser bet
and then I'll hit you with my Solar Power three
team moneyline parlay.

Speaker 4 (52:21):
Cool sounds good?

Speaker 5 (52:23):
All right?

Speaker 2 (52:24):
Chiefs are at my forty nine ers. Forty nine ers
are favored by two. I can't be a homer here.
I have to say that even if the Niners somehow
sneak by the Chiefs as an underdog, Mahomes as an
underdog has not done bad. So I'm telling you right now,
you take the Chiefs plus eight and the teaser.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
They're two point underdogs.

Speaker 2 (52:47):
If you can get the Chiefs over a touchdown underdog,
you take it. So I like Chiefs plus eight, and
then you got the Panthers visiting the Commanders. The Commanders
Jaden Daniels look like a star. They're eight point favorites.

Speaker 4 (53:00):
Take that from eight and tease it down to two.

Speaker 2 (53:03):
So you got the Chiefs as an eight point underdog,
and you got the Commanders as a two point favorite.
So Commanders Chiefs lock it in. That is your teaser
bed your six point teaser Uh won to ten wins
one hundred?

Speaker 6 (53:16):
Cool?

Speaker 4 (53:17):
You like that?

Speaker 5 (53:17):
Got it?

Speaker 4 (53:19):
What's the discrepancy there?

Speaker 2 (53:20):
You think, maybe what if the Niners are hot and
the Chiefs have that's this is the Chiefs first first.

Speaker 4 (53:25):
Loss, that would be the only discrepancy.

Speaker 1 (53:27):
But but I don't see them being the Chiefs chief
in the underdog.

Speaker 2 (53:32):
I could see the Niners winning. But eight's a lot
of points.

Speaker 4 (53:35):
That's why I like it.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
So Chiefs plus eight, Commanders minus two, they're hot. If
you lose to the Panthers when you got a leg
up on the Cowboys and Eagles right now, you don't
want to give them any any chance of hope. All right, now,
here's your three team parlay the Ravens. We'll start with
Monday night. I know it's a couple days away, but
I think the Ravens are peaking and they're only getting

(53:56):
better week to week. They look like to me, arguably
the best team in the NFL. That run game, that
attack on offense. They're playing at the Buccaneers. Now, the
Bucks are good. They're both four and two. It's not
like going into Tampa is like some ridiculous home Field,
So I like Monday Night Prime Time, Lamar Derreck Henry
to show up.

Speaker 4 (54:15):
They're three and a half point favorites.

Speaker 2 (54:16):
Like I said, forget the points, go Ravens money line
over the Bucks. They just need to win, right, the
newly acquired Devonte Adams and the Jets Aaron Rodgers j Ets, Jets, Jets,
Jets have to keep the season alive.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
They're playing in Pittsburgh. Jets are two point favorites.

Speaker 2 (54:32):
Again, don't worry about the points, just do Jets money line.
You know the Jets are gonna get a win here.
It just feels like it, right. Devonde and Aaron back together,
and the Steelers are like, gon't know, Justin Fields and
Russell Wilson both might get snaps disarray. It's Jets all day.
So Jets, Ravens and Dan Bayer's not going to hear this.

(54:52):
I have him close his ears. Seahawks at Falcons. I
like the Falcons at home to just keep rolling. And
Falcons are point favorites money line, so you just have
the Falcons winning, Jets winning, and Ravens winning one hundred wins,
three hundred and thirty eight dollars.

Speaker 4 (55:08):
I like it, man, Dan yern not so much. But yeah, oh,
I get.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
We are doing a very special edition of Over Promised.

Speaker 4 (56:57):
Dicky Doodle again.

Speaker 1 (56:59):
I'm super humped to watch over promise featuring Rich and
everybody in New York. Hey, I'm getting on the train
over here, So join us live again at Covino and
Rich Instagram Live. And before we go, we teased this yesterday.
I do want to get to it briefly.

Speaker 4 (57:18):
Danny G.

Speaker 1 (57:19):
What do you consider an adult as far as age wise,
because we always have this thinking, well, once you're eighteen,
you're an adult. Really, I don't know about that. Consider
me ahead of the trend because I consider myself a
responsible adult, but an immature adult. I didn't really get
on my own until I was about twenty seven ish.

(57:40):
I'm not even lying, you know. I went to college,
I lived in an apartment, but came back home, saved
my money, and then bought a house at twenty seven.
They're saying that that is what's considered an adult today,
according to gen Z.

Speaker 3 (57:55):
Yeah, when we were kids, I would say that a
lot of us got the boot at eighteen years old. Yeah,
that's when I started paying all my own bills. But now,
as everything has evolved and kids have kind of, you know,
ruled the house now and just a closer bond with parents,
I would say too, in general, I would say twenty

(58:16):
five now. Well, so instead of eighteen, i'd say twenty five.
They're saying twenty seven. Rich said that there was this
really viral sort of article where that was saying gen
Z is now saying they're not adults really the way
life works today until they're twenty seven years old. So,
like I said, I was ahead of the trend and
it was laughable. Back then, it was laughable Rich to them,

(58:37):
They made fun of me, like ya, dude, you were
still living at home at twenty seven because they welcomed
me there, not because I was some loser, because they
knew I was trying to save my money.

Speaker 1 (58:46):
I was trying to buy a piece of property. I
had a great setup where I wasn't really in anybody's
way at all. But that's the norm. So what used
to be like, dude, your loser is Wow, that's the
normal way. And the reason we bring that up today
too is because as of this week, Lebron James said
he's no longer answering for his son. His son's a man.

(59:10):
He's done answering for his son. And it got us
thinking like, well, that's gonna be a storyline all year
because Lebron's gonna have to answer questions about his son
and he's getting what he asked for kind of in
a way that goes with the territory.

Speaker 4 (59:23):
And it's all you.

Speaker 2 (59:25):
Gotta you know, Kavina, I'll give you the analogy. A
lot of times, I'll say, Covino, why would you write
that to the person on Instagram or Twitter? And you'll say, dude,
did you see what they wrote to me?

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Right?

Speaker 2 (59:39):
And a lot of times you've got to remind yourself, well,
if someone's saying something or doing something, what are they
retaliating or responding to?

Speaker 1 (59:46):
In other words, well, that was just my response to
something terrible.

Speaker 4 (59:50):
Yeah, Kamna, why did you kell? Why'd you tell this
listener to go f themselves? Well?

Speaker 1 (59:54):
Did you see what they wrote? See what he said
about my mama? How'd you move on that part?

Speaker 2 (59:58):
So there is a weird part of the whole Lebron
thing because it's like, don't talk to me about my son.
But for a year plus the narrative was do we
get to see Lebron play with his kid? So you
it's like you can't ask for all that, right. It's
like that artist that's on the radio now, Chaperone.

Speaker 4 (01:00:19):
Yeah h o ttogo.

Speaker 2 (01:00:24):
She is a big star, but guess what, dude, she
has this weird attitude of like, don't go near me fans.
I didn't want this. It's like, dude, you're a pop star,
get the hell out of here. Then don't write pop
songs and trying to become a star if you don't
like fans.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
In other words, if Lebron James wanted to stick around
for his son and play with his son, and he
was getting us all hyped up about his son for
all these years, and now we're finally here for him
to say I don't want to answer a question about
my son is a little odd. It's like, well, dude, right,
And then it makes you think, hey, Bronnie, he's a man.
He's his own man, and I do understand that. But

(01:00:59):
Bronnie is he's only twenty years old, and according today
to Today's kid or Today's gen Zer, twenty seven is
when you're your own man. Your thoughts Fox Sports Radio Nation,
what do you think about that?

Speaker 4 (01:01:14):
Gotta tell you what I'm really feeling right now? Nervous.
My stomach carts.

Speaker 5 (01:01:19):
I knew it. Nervous.

Speaker 2 (01:01:20):
I got that anxiety, like we have a minute left
in the show, and you know what happens after that
minute left of the show. I'm gonna pack my suitcase,
which I have to. Then I realize what a pain
thes this is. I have to meet my friend at
his car in the parking lot to drop my suitcase
in his car.

Speaker 4 (01:01:34):
I can't bring my suitcase into the stadium.

Speaker 5 (01:01:37):
And I'm like, oh.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
Crap, you know what else you're bringing in your nerves?
You're bringing your nerves into city field.

Speaker 4 (01:01:43):
No, I'm gonna leave those in the restroom. Oh, I
hope so hey.

Speaker 1 (01:01:45):
Follow along at Covino and rich Instagram Live Over Promised
