Day on the iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
We hung out with Mahomes yesterday, showed Time Mahomes trivia
every Tuesday here on the Cavino and Rich Show. I
like Patrick Mahomes. He's just one of those guys that
transcends the game. There's a few of them in our lifetime.
Regardless of the team they played for. You rooted for
him and you liked him. The Ken Griffy Juniors of
the world, the Michael Jordans of the world. I think

(00:42):
Patrick Mahomes is in that company, and he's not even
done yet. Because he's a likable guy. He's not a
stable I put him in the category of Steph Curry,
where the world rooted for him and then when they
get a little too.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Good, you're like, all I slow down.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
I used to that's Homes until he played my Niners
in the Super Bowl and beat him. Twice until you
know Steph Curry was winning back to back NBA titles
and you know, started piling them up. Then you're like,
all right, you're likable, but uh take it.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Ees.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
The side stories recently is that he got two new
weapons in the off season because his wife Brittany got
some sort of mommy makeover. That was the speculation. But
the point is, and I say it respectfully, she looks great. Okay,
So that's just an observation, and I'm trying to playfully
let you know that she looks tone and fit and great.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Let's put it that way.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And then recently photographed side by side with his beautiful wife, like,
go ah, Mahomes gotten good shape. Look, he's got a
semblance of an ab He's in good shape. He's got
a new hairdew. He got rid of the alpaca haircut.
The broccoli boy looked that he invented. I give him
credit for it. He popularized the burst fade with the
broccoli pompadoo. That's now he's high and tight and looking fresh.

(02:00):
And we're giving all the props in the world to
Patrick Mahomes the past few days based on these stupid stories.
But according to fellow colleague, and I say this respectfully.
iHeartRadio podcaster Kevin Keatsman. He has issues with Patrick Mahomes.
He says, vacation photos are popping up of Mahomes and

(02:21):
he's fat.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Take a listen.

Speaker 4 (02:23):
Vacation photos are popping up with Patrick Mahomes and he's fat.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
He's an embarrassment.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
What you're a five hundred million dollars quarterback, Dude, you're fat.
Your belly would be fat at my pool hanging out
with us sixty year olds. Okay, my skin's flabby on yours.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
I get it. Stop stop the fast.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Food, do a sit up, do something you can't just
run through your NFL career eating Taco Bell all the
time and door dashing fried chicken, which he loves.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's time, dude, it's time now. As a radio fan,
do I find it entertaining? Second? I love fried Chicken too.
I know, is he Taco Bell too?

Speaker 3 (03:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But like I love the loud mouth sports broadcaster that
we grew up listening to, like a Ben Mallard Danny
g your boy. Like, I love just him ranting on everybody,
even if I disagree. I just love hearing his banter
of him dumping on Lebron or whatever.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
The case may be.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
And this feels to me like just the classic hate
parade of Mahomes and I'm okay with it, but let's
be real about it. Patrick Mahomes is fat on what plan?
I mean not fat. He's not fit, though I'm not
he does he need to be? No, name me he's
not nick all right, give me one ripped quarterback. Bro
in our history of great quarterbacks, where any of them ripped?

(03:39):
I mean, I can't think of any rippack. The ones
that are aren't necessarily him Tebow, They're not necessarily name
me one ripped good quarterback.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
It's not part of the game. And is he fat? No?

Speaker 5 (03:51):
Like maybe maybe Jalen Hurts with his shirt off is
like ripped. But I don't know, because here's the point,
he's getting the job done. If he's fat, we're all fat,
and that's be yes.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
I feel like this gives the same vibe as the
I don't know, the slob that's criticizing pageant models as
they walk down the runway, like, oh yeah, her ass
could use a little work.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
I Meanwhile, he's he's dipping chips and so that he
has in his belly button.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
He's he's licking his fingers from all the buffalo waves,
like give me a break, flexibility, Well you should have
should work out his crumbs.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
In his beard.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
But he's criticized as just as the kiddo says, giving
those vibes, it's giving hater And you know, I think
it's funny and it's great entertainment. But my goodness, if
we want to fat shame and give a complex And
I'm not trying to be all sensitive, but I've seen
pictures of him and he's far from fat.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Is he ripped absolutely not? Is he in better shape
than he was?

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (04:46):
So why are we not giving credit where it's I'm
not defending this JIBBRONI on the radio. Listen, I like
the same with the name as Kevin Keatsman.

Speaker 2 (04:53):
Same like you.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I find ridiculous hot takes funny and entertaining, but they're great.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
But and I find a good fat joke entertaining. Who doesn't, right,
I mean, you can't be too politically correct. Oh are
you fat?

Speaker 1 (05:06):
You know it's fact, by the way, you know it's back.
Certain things are making their way back, like fatso is
like a big buzz term now or whatever. Fatso that's
sort of making a comeback. But listen, I think the
guy went overboard. But there is a sit up. He's
a professional athlete. There is a sentiment that I don't

(05:27):
agree with him. But when you see guys like Patrick
Mahomes who are at the top of their game, and
you see him with a shirt off, and you're like, oh,
you don't hit the gym as as much as one
might think, because that's not what the skill requires. Being
the best quarterback in the NFL doesn't require you to
have a six pap.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
And chiseled you know, picks. Not everyone's gonna look like.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Remember Will Levis came out and he almost got criticized
because he was too ripped. Have you taken a good
look at ala Hi and Kirk? And I could say
that because I'm a Yankees fan, I don't care about
the Blue Jays, but this guy's a little meatball. And
as a as a Vato local forever, I understand that.
You know, there's not a lot of rip Mexicans because
we like tacos too much. Yeah, but the point is

(06:14):
it doesn't matter because he performs well. Patrick Mahomes is
one of the best in the game and with the
old saying rich people who live in glasshouses shouldn't throw
chunk cloves or however, I think that's it. I don't
know how it goes, but I don't even know what
Kevin Keatsman looks like. But he better be Johnny Ripplepeck's slim,
good body if he's throwing punches and words at Patrick

(06:36):
Mahomes like that on a national platform.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
You know, I think of other.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Stellar athletes that I've seen shirtless, not on purpose, It's
not like I'm Google searching it, but there's a few
guys that I remember thinking, Wow, he's dominant and with
a shirt off, he doesn't look much better than me.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
And you know what is because you're a regular guy,
so you.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Assume well, to be elite, you gotta look better than
me and the guy that hit a game tying home
run last night.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
Mets went on to win thanks to.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
Polar Bear Peter Alonzo, who looks like a regular like
Beefy Jim Dude, but that has a belly a little bit.
One of my favorite heavyweight champions of the last twenty
five years, there's only one. Tyson Fury is soft but
the strongest mother ever you know is in me, it
doesn't matter. And then I remember in the nineties, maybe,

(07:27):
if not for steroid allegations and some stuff he did,
might have been considered one of the greatest baseball players
of all time.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
A Rod with his shirt off was always sort of
a little pudgy. No, he's he's in good shape now.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
No, but I'm saying as a player, I remember remember
all the shortstops were on that cover. I was like,
Dave Run's on his ca Let's not lose focus. Here
is Patrick Mahomes fat? I have to say, absolutely, not
fat fat. Patrick Mahomes is fat. If he's fat, eighty
five percent of our audience is fat.

Speaker 7 (08:00):
Well, according to his doctor, he's obese, because when we
all go to our check out, they call almost obese.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
Overweight, then obese than more believable. How about you? You
speak for yourself.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
You go to the doctor's office and they'll be like, oh,
what are you six foot? Oh you're supposed be one
hundred and forty pounds? Like what forty one? Get out
of here? Look can everybody get in shape? Probably a
little more? Yes, Will it help Patrick Mahomes's game, Maybe
a little bit, But he's not fat. In fact, he
did get in better shape, and yes he talked a
big game about getting in better shape for the season.

(08:32):
I think he's shown great improvement. I just find it
odd that this guy's calling him fat and then he's
he's putting this in people's minds that Patrick Mahomes is fat.
I'm here to tell you, I've seen the pictures. He's
not fat at all. I think there's a misconceptions, just
not ripped. There's a misconception that to be a great
as you would say three syllables athlete, To be a

(08:52):
great athlete sounds like you just said it. No one
told you a talk like me absolute to be a
great athlete. Being a physical specimen with your shirt off
isn't part of the equation that makes you a picture
like Jacob de Gram. It doesn't make you a Greg
Maic like Patrick Mahomes. It doesn't make you doesn't mean
any a shooter like Steph Curry. These guys probably look

(09:15):
like they have your typical mild dad bod where they're
a little softer than you would think, but they are
the elite of the elite. Not everyone looks like DK Metcalf.
Not everyone looks like Antonio Brown back in the day,
or lebron genetics. Look what Andy ruiz Di ad to
Anthony Joshua It means Didley's squat.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, we've seen nerds like orl Hirscheizer dominate exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
And again, you're losing focus. Patrick Mahomes is not fat.
I'm losing focus. You're losing focus because that's the point
that's fat, that's considered fat. Everybody has the second guess
where they are in life right now because if that
if that's fat.

Speaker 2 (09:53):
Then I'm really fat.

Speaker 7 (09:54):
Well, I think flexibility is more important at his position.
We've seen more than once Mahomes get crunched with his
leg bend in half and the announcers are like, he's
not coming back in the game. Any trots back out
onto the field.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
You actually have a sound bite of that, you know,
if you watch Quarterback, which by the way, I haven't
started the new one yet, but I can't wait. I
know Kirk Cousins already getting people talking. But one of
the previous seasons, Patrick Mahomes, what I remember taking away
from that Netflix documentary, that docu series, is that in

(10:27):
the gym he's not focusing on bench press and pec deck.
He's doing all these exercises where it looks like he's
being bent in half.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
He's training for the job he needs to do.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Like you ever see someone it says trained for the
job you need to do, and it's someone doing an exercise.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
Specifically designed for their their position.

Speaker 1 (10:50):
It's, you know, while you're talking in the hallway all
the time, I'm training training. Let me read this again.
Let me read what Kevin Keatsman of iHeart said, And
I gotta give him props for doing good radio. But
don't buy into any of this. That's my point here.
Did he get our attention? Are we talking about it? Yeah,
props you're doing great radio. Kevin Keatsman. Dude, you're fat

(11:12):
in regards to Patrick Mahomes, because when you read it,
it's worse. Your belly would be fat at my pool
hanging out with us sixty year olds. Really, you think
Patrick Mahomes looks like these beer guzzlin sixty year olds
in the pool?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
I say, not even close.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
Stop stop the fast food, do a sit up, do something.
There's no training to this man. I don't understand it.
Here's the one thing I do agree with. Actually, all right,
we're gonna talk about all these things I don't. Here's
the one thing I do agree with. He says he's
not a kid anymore. You can't just run through your
NFL cre eating Taco Bell all the time. It's time, dude,
it's time you do hit a point in life. How

(11:50):
old is Mahomes right now? He's in his later twenties now,
so how is he? I mean, the point in life
that everybody hits and it's an adjustment period is wow,
I can't eat like I did in my early twenty
My brother's at that point right now. My brother's thirty. Yeah,
my brother's thirty two, thirty three, But my brother eats
like he's twenty five still, remember those late night runs
and he didn't care because you're young. You pernted it

(12:11):
off like that. You do have to make those adjustments
in life. And if that's where Patrick Mahomes is, that's fair,
that's a fair assessment.

Speaker 5 (12:18):
But to say he's fat, that is just so not true.
He's got another decade of abusing his body.

Speaker 2 (12:24):
At least.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Yeah, he's twenty nine. He can he can eat Taco
Bell for those eight years.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
But he does have a responsibility as a professional athletes,
no doubt. So I do feel like there's some truth there,
but it's also like, you know, it's like a false headline,
like Patrick Mahomes is.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Not fat guy?

Speaker 1 (12:39):
So you know who is Deebo Samuel? I mean, yeah,
according to Tarac cutting to t o who, by the way,
Collan said, he's a few nuggets away. Tara Lowan's one
of those guys that not everyone needs to look like him,
but he was a specimen, the type of guy with
his shirt off, You're like, oh my god, what does
he do? Not everyone's gonna look like that. It's genetics,

(13:00):
it's how you train. Sometimes you're more prone to injury
when you're ripped up by Ben Roethlisberger. That get that
type of criticism. Did Babe Ruth get that criticism?

Speaker 3 (13:09):
No?

Speaker 1 (13:09):
Do you think Eli Manning when he was beating Tom
Brady in the Super Bowl with his shirt off, he
probably looked like your relatively fit uncle.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Tom Brady was never ripped until right now. To be fair,
you know, Babe Ruth never got any criticism. Yeah, everybody
loved the babe. The babe.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
See yeah, the babe was having sex with my wife. See,
but he's a good fellow. Wow, but it's the babe.

Speaker 2 (13:32):
I endorse this.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, they love the babe for everything he did. So
the babe stole my girlfriend? What anna You know when
you're making these statements on any iHeartRadio podcast or any
millions or any podcasts, but especially you know it's the
company we work for millions of white kissing s. Because
it's true. It's millions of people are listening. So you
got all these people who don't live the social media

(13:55):
life necessarily per se. They got this image of man
Patrick from home. He must be really fat. He's in
better shape than he was last year. But what's interesting
the point you made was if you hadn't seen the
recent pictures where he was hanging with his beautiful wife
on a boat with some players and friends, and you
just heard that podcaster, you might be like, oh, wow,

(14:18):
he's really coming into this season. And then at the
barber shop, yeah, I don't know about the homes got fat.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
I heard on the radio. Yeah his podcast he's fat.

Speaker 1 (14:27):
And people are like, okay, so I don't know if
he's fat, we're all fat, and that's and I refuse
to admit.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
That if he's fat, I'm morbidly obese.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Yeah, and I'm not admitting that, no way, no how,
But do you have to make adjustments right around where
he's at.

Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yep.

Speaker 7 (14:46):
Besides podcasting, he is a morning host on k c
M O Talk Radio's Talking Yeah Heast Kansas City.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
I'm looking him up right now. Man, I don't know.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
I mean, I would understood this if he was based
out of Denver or Las Vegas or La Right, rivals
of the.

Speaker 1 (15:03):
Chiefs, that this is his hometown. Guy, Yeah, Kevin Keatsman,
he did what you expect wanted he did. You're doing
what he wanted, this guy.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
You're playing right into it.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
This guy.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
I'm just kidding.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
Hey, no one ever said radio guys had to uh
look a certain way. But hey, great radio. I tip
my hat to his podcast. But I don't believe a
word he said. There's no way he thinks that Patrick
Mahomes is fat. There are players on the teams we
all root for that show up to training camp or
spring training and you're like, oh, they they didn't seem

(15:37):
to put the work into the off season.

Speaker 2 (15:38):
But that's not the case. From what you're seeing. Mahomes
seems motivated.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
He seems a little embarrassed that he lost the Super
Bowl last year in such a fashion. Yeah, and I'm
sure he's keeping him on his toes. I think if
as your wife gets hotter, you don't want to be
the guy bringing down the stock of the relationship.

Speaker 2 (15:52):
And Brittany Mahomes looks good. She does. I think it's
a good attention. Grab her bud.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
There's a hell of lot of athletes that aren't chiseled.
As Ia Sam said, you.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Don't like like you don't need to be cut? Name
me thrilled chiseled?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
I said, cut? Namey one cut quarterback? Like, who's really
cutting noticeably?

Speaker 2 (16:12):
Cutting? Skinny doesn't count?

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I would say a guy that isn't even gonna start
this year Will Levis. Remember he showed up with his
sleeveless shirt and even Cowherd's like, that's not the look
you want for your quarterback, see exactly.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
You gotta be flexible and mobile. What's up?

Speaker 8 (16:27):
I think we're focusing on the wrong thing because dad
Bod kind of implies like, oh no, he's got a belly,
but like, I don't care about what his belly looks like.
That's probably blubber that will help stop when he get it.
He's you know from injury when he gets sacked by
some giant edge rush Like, no, I care about how
fast he's gonna run. I care about what his arms
are gonna look like. And if he can chuck it,
he can chuck it like this, like what we need

(16:49):
him to look like. He's gonna be in in mister universe,
just for your quarterback. Now, I'm thinking they're vanity muscles.
We love them, vanity, call them vanity muscles. That's a
great point, because he's not running the four by four hundred.
I'm thinking of like who does everyone love? Everyone loves
like a Josh Allen or Joe Burrow. Everyone loves Amaya
Papaya in Love Island.

Speaker 2 (17:09):
They love her.

Speaker 1 (17:10):
Yeah, but honestly, you don't want your quarterback to look
like one of the dudes on Love Island with abs
because they're twenty and they have vanity muscles, like Profet's
aid vanity No, or actually, uh, I was Sam when
he brought up Tim Tebow. His muscle's got in the
way of his arm. Yes, Like the way he threw
wasn't even that's.

Speaker 5 (17:29):
Like a big just too much of a big muscle himself,
Like he didn't have the flexibility and like those.

Speaker 1 (17:34):
So that's why like as a guy. Am I a
Chiefs fan? For the record, No, do I like Patrick Mahomes.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
I think he's a good dude. I don't think he
deserves that sort of criticism. He's one of those guys
that I find to be a super talent and I
don't think his weight has anything to do with his performance.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
Have a new excuse now, Rich when it's time to
go to the gym and don't feel like it, Babe,
I gotta throw the nerve football to our little son.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
Yeah, get you can't get you ripped. I'm trying to
get ripped and not be able to throw. Honey.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'm trying to have a quarterback body, not a ripped body. Okay,
quarter it's not even Dad by his quarterback by it. Well,
I mean, I keep thinking about all the guys in
the NFL that historically have been great quarterbacks, Tom Brady,
Joe Montana. With these guys, you know, Peyton Manning seemed
a little a little cut like he seemed a little cardio,

(18:27):
but he wasn't like.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Chiseled he had on his forehead like.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Aaron Rodgers is just a thin guy with a little
muscle tone, Like, none of these guys are nuh Are
Michael B.

Speaker 2 (18:37):
Jordan with their shirt off?

Speaker 9 (18:38):
Right?

Speaker 1 (18:38):
I mean, like, come on, and Patrick Mahomes got rings? Dude,
You're crazy criticizing him like that. So that's the story. Again,
that's the story according to Kevin Keatsman. I'm only asking
you because you are the number one Yankee fan, I know, yeah,
and because it's not a Google search of mind like
it is probably for you. But what does Aaron Judge

(18:59):
look like? Shirtless? Is he chiseled or is he just
a tall big dude? Is my wallpaper on my phone?
He's got really dark nipples. But it is weird. Is
Judge one of those guys that's like, you know, that's
a really great I don't know, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, weird.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
I search on our company computer Aaron Judge shirts. But
these are fun conversations and we like to have him right.
So thanks again to Kevin here for for the fun.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
I just typed it in. I'm gonna blame I with Sam.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
But we judge sports on performance, guys, performance Patrick Mahomes
is in the Super Bowl performance. Does vanity matter? Hell
yeah it does. It does to me. But what matters
more in sports performance? Do you want to know the truth?
I just looked it up. He was on vacation with

(19:50):
his girlfriend. Aaron Judge doesn't look better than you or
I with our shirt off, look like a regular guy.
He's a regular guy. But he's just Aaron Judge. You
don't need to be He's got big.

Speaker 7 (20:00):
Arms though, Yeah, AI says, Yes, Aaron Judge is considered ripped.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
I don't know, man, it says.

Speaker 7 (20:05):
His physique has often commented on, with many noting as
impressive overall strength. He is frequently described as having a
jacked or ripped physique.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
See I don't think that AI has lower expectations than Rich.
I guess you know who's jacked? A guy that gets
hurt all the time because he's jacked, and that's John
Carlos Stanton. That's a guy who is chiseled like an Adonis.
But what happens in John Carlos stan every overtrain, every
freaking two weeks, the guy is injured because he uh.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
He's a glass Yeah. Same thing with me, Yeah yeah,
same with fun. Yeah, that's I'm always injured.

Speaker 1 (20:34):
So your thoughts spots said you ever since you started
working out hardspot. Every day you're hobbling in here with
your shoulder or knee or something. You're the John Carlos
stan of Producers.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, there's no going back, baby, go back to the
peck deck. What do you go back to the physical
therapist every week? Actual? Waits? Did you say peck deck?
I did? Yeah, all right, I was. Sam's like, was
I supposed to bleep? Anyway? I'll allow it.

Speaker 1 (20:58):
Your thoughts on Mahomes the Fat Conversation for the record,
he's listed six two two twenty five. And by the way,
I'm I'm not saying that Aaron Judge is not in shape.
I'm saying he's not the guy with his shirt of
where it's like, Wow, Aaron Judge has a six pack.
He's just an in shape guy, that's all. And because
guess what they're not bodybuilders. Yes, give me a break,
it's not mister universe. Is he's supposed to be mister

(21:20):
Uh yeah, exactly, mister is supposed to be like Arnold.
Not not to hammer this point home, but when we
were little kids, was Dale Murphy, Keith Hernandez, you know,
where's a you know, were these guys. I'm trying to
think of like great was Ozzy.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Smith with these guys ripped her? Were they just like
finn baseball players? Oh?

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Those guys were built like our dad's in the seventies,
the slender Look.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
What do you think Mahomes is he fat? David in Kansas?
What's up man him?

Speaker 6 (21:52):
I love the show, but I'd just like to say
that Patrick Mahomes has a dead bud because he's a
father figure.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
I mean, he has a he has a cheez play
the rim shot. What do they call it? A father figure?
But I I knew you would like that.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Rich an't the king of comedy. He's not gonna make
fun of you. Danny g Can though David's going on tour.
David's the man here. He's given me a chuckles tomorrow.
And I appreciate Colin in New York. Let's up, buddy boy.

Speaker 6 (22:21):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (22:21):
I mean tell me, if you guys disagree with this.
I think that any NFL team, let alone five million,
would pay one billion for one ring. I tell me
I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
That's that's why when people mock a team for going
all in, Colin, my thought is, yeah, go for it.
Like there are times where like well, the Mets are
gonna go all in on there, or the Niners are
Danny the Raider. If your team goes all in and
they win one, that one championship in any sport could
get that fan base by for decades.

Speaker 7 (22:52):
Yeah, we saw the Rams go all in by trading
all their draft picks, remember, and making all those trades,
and you know, like, man, they don't care about what's
coming down the road, and that was their thought.

Speaker 2 (23:01):
Let's just get a ring.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
If you told every team in the NFL would take
Patrick Mahonmes is fat ass and a heartbeat, but he's
right though at most teams.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
That's a fact.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
If take any team in the NFL or Major League Baseball,
if you told me the Mets, my team would give
up every prospect they ever had in the future, like
their best arms and bats and the miners were guaranteed.
We like for I don't know schemes at the All
Star break, but that means the Mets win a World Series,
but they suck for ten years. Who cares teams and

(23:35):
fan bases?

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Actually, now it's a win now life. You just want one? Right?
You want one? Don in Kansas? What's up? Don Rich?

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (23:44):
Thank you? I guess I got to redeem the States
from that last call. But you know, Keatsman got let
go by one of the radio stations there in Kansas
City because I believe he got crossways with the Chiefs.
I think there's a little bit of sour grapes that
come into play with that. There's also the idea, you know,
to get a new audience, you know, you got to
be controversial. But everybody knows, how can a fat guy

(24:07):
scramble for twenty thirty yards?

Speaker 1 (24:10):
You know Rick again, of course, man, of course, there's
clearly sour grapes with this guy in the Chiefs, especially
when you when you live in a market like Kansas
City and you know, the Royals won a World Series
what in twenty fifteen. Also find it odd rich that
someone would come hard on Matt Patrick Mahomes like that
without some sour grapes because he's just not one of

(24:30):
those guys that I feel like warrants that type of criticis.
But not only that, we're talking about Patrick Mahomes, the
guy that broke glory to a city that you know,
again has had a couple moments of greatness over the
last decades.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
But that Chiefs team, like their dynasty like you. They
should be licking his feet.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
And I like to think myself as a likable fella,
you know, not trying to rub anybody the wrong way
or cause any controversy.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
I don't know what that guy's problem is.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
A fat guy would probably eat our grapes and scramble
eggs twenty eggs.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Hey, come on.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Now, Sam's going on tour with David and Kansas his feet.
It's a special called The New Kings of Comedy. It's Iowa, Sam. Yeah,
that dude, David and David in Kansas and d L.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Hugley.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
Let's say hi to Andy and Rhode Island. Andy, you're
on a CONVENI on rob Andy.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
Andy, Andy, what up? Man? Come on, bro, you're breaking
the flow. Andy? Should I tell you what food jokes?

Speaker 6 (25:32):
No?

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Please don't. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I think Andy was fed up with you. And by
the way, I never discouraged that bad joke. I love
bad jokes. Keep them coming.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
I see what we did. They're fed up, Yeah, fed
so keep them coming.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Patrick Mahomes is clearly fed up to according to this story, Yo, it's.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Convene and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
I was just looking at the Dodgers losing six in
a row, and you know, it just proves covin now Mets, Yankees, Dodgers, Cubs, Phillies,
whatever team you root for. Baseball is such a fickle
long season that even the best teams look like horse
crap once in a while. Like like just when we
were like the Mets and Yankees were cold.

Speaker 2 (26:15):
Now the Mets are heating up again.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
But your Dodgers, who I thought looked unbeatable, are six
in a row now they lost, So yeah.

Speaker 7 (26:23):
Cold, out of sync. The next man up thing is
not working for them right now. I really feel like, yeah,
there's injuries. All teams have injuries. You got to step
up and get over it.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
Baseball is such a in my mind, like a momentum
vibe game, like if you're if there's a sense like
uh oh, we're called Like it's it's contagious, as Kavino's
pointed out, like losing and winning in those moments.

Speaker 7 (26:45):
Like but you know what, that's why you gotta have
money in the bank. They had such a big lead
in the NL West. They still have a four and
a half game lead.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
No true that you ain't kidding. And speaking of baseball,
we're gonna fight about baseball. Second, But I want to
bring up something that happened last night. Caveno, you somehow
missed this highlight. It's not our play of the day
because we're reserving the play of the day for something
even cooler. But did you see that inside the park
walk off home run? And I loved it even more
because the Giants beat Philadelphia. I mean I saw it

(27:13):
just now on PTI and I'm like, what the hell?

Speaker 2 (27:16):
And I miss that?

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, last night there was You know, if you've been
to San Francisco, where the Giants play, might be the greatest,
one of the top five ballparks in Major League Baseball.
They have what they call triple Alley where sometimes you
hit a ball in a specific area you don't know
where it's going to bounce off of. And in the
bottom and the top of the knife you just saw,

(27:39):
I'm sorry, bottom of the knife.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
You said.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
The Giants hit a ball then no matter where the
outfielders positioned themselves, it ricocheted where it was an easy
inside the park three run home run.

Speaker 2 (27:50):
In fact, take a listen to last night.

Speaker 9 (27:52):
Patrick hits a high drive deep right center field.

Speaker 11 (27:56):
This one is off the top of the oh and.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
It recochets and it's rolling.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
On the lorning track.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Two runs around Bailey coming around.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Third, Drick Bailey, Dude in the inside.

Speaker 2 (28:13):
The park walk off home run.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
That's a rarity and inside the park walk off home run.
So congrats to the Giants. But you know those calls
are so funny. Equally important. Here is what I think
is the Tiraq play of the day.

Speaker 9 (28:32):
Soda waiting first pitch, Swain a sharp shot off the middle,
base hit in the center field for Soto. Here comes Landor,
no throw, Lindor scores standing up with that. Mets strike
first in the tenth, Sono makes it seven to six,
easy pickings, base hit up the middle, Sono, Baby, he
is the.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Hottest player in baseball after a rough star for over
forty years. That is your Tireraq play of the day,
courtesy of the Mets Radio Network. They want seven six.
They were down six to two in that game. In
the eighth inning, Lindor to on home run, Polar Bear
Pete two on home run, and then Soda with the
extra innings hit and again ti Iraq helping customers find
the right tires for how we're and where they drive,

(29:14):
Chip fast and free back by free Road has a

speaking of baseball, you get Covino and Rich back at
our regular time.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
We were in for Dan Patrick.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Be sure to catch the podcast if you missed it,
search Covino and Rich and our best of and all
that fun stuff. There's a story about, well, a guy
who I think is fat and lazy. How about that?
Oh jeez, because he really is. He really is fat,
but that doesn't make him not good. Rafael Devers. Rafael Devers,
You guys remember the controversy of how it just seemed
like overnight, out of nowhere, the Red Sox distum And

(29:53):
the story was because he refused to play first base.
He didn't want to play any other position.

Speaker 2 (29:58):
I could be a heing.

Speaker 1 (30:00):
He said he was a natural third baseman, but he
was told he'd be a DH and when he needed him,
at first, they're like nope, So they got rid of
him to send them to the Giants. And when he
went to the Giants, he said he'd play wherever they
needed him. Well, listen, a lot of people at first
were tough on Devers and they realized.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Listen, the Red Sox sort.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Of did them a little dirty. They made this public.
They were sort of a you know, they weren't the
coolest about this.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
In fact, for the record, I also defended him too,
because it's like, you know, man, this is the MLB.
Just can't go out there and play a different position.
I said, first base is a skill position. It's not
like he could go out there and just figure it out.
It's gonna take some time. And who wants to step
into a different spot on a main stage like that
and fail. It really wasn't fair to Devors. But you

(30:47):
got to be a team player at the same time.
Here here's the update. So he's willing to play first
base for the Giants now. But the funny part is
the Giants enlist team legend and I guess consultant for
the team and loud mal podcaster Will the Thrill Clark
to sort of advise and give advice to How cool
is that? That's what's important about history and legacy and legends,

(31:11):
Will Will Clark. Also, I want to keep saying Will Smith, well, yeah,
I see you rubbed it off on me.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Sorry, Will Clark. I saw rich mouth de.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
Will Clark is not a Hall of Famer, but I
think he should be and I think he should be respected.
Is he a big loud mouth on his podcast.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Wear Me, Will Clark or wear Me?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Yeah, the Great Willyeah. You find him to be highly entertained.
I mean, yes, entertaining because he's a blowhard and he's funny,
and he's like borderline insane blow hard maybe just old
school baseball guy. Well, anyway, he's really inter He's grouchy
and funny on social media. He's the type of god
that's like, oh bathflip. He's like a grouchy, old yet

(31:57):
entertaining guy. He's opinionated. Okay, Well, apparently the Giants have
a great relationship with Will the Thrill Clark.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
We all love them growing up. He's a great ballplayer.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
A lot of former players, especially AF Francisco. Yeah no,
but they go back the legends and they try to
help out, not necessarily coaches, but they're there to help
coach these younger players.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
I mean it happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
The Mets had David Wright come by to sort of
coach Ventos at third base.

Speaker 2 (32:19):
These type of things are normal.

Speaker 1 (32:22):
So they ask Will Clark to help Rafaeld Devers at
first base because rafield. Devers clearly had no experience there
and felt weird about it. He did in Boston. He
put a big fuss up about it. But now I
think his past with Boston makes this story pretty obvious.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
Devers is a pain in the ass. You can look
at a multiple ways.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
So here's what happened that the Giants, like you said,
because of their relationship with Will the Thrill, have asked
him to sort of advise and mentor Devers to get
used to first base, and according to Will Clark, dev
is standing him up. Take a listen to the clip Friday,
Saturday Sunday.

Speaker 11 (33:04):
He did not come out early at all, period, not
at all.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Matter of fact, he didn't even hit on the field.

Speaker 11 (33:11):
But Rafael Devers, the next time I'm in San Francisco,
You're ass will be on the field at first base,
Just letting you know that, even if I got to
go grab you but back of the neck and drag
your ass out there, you will be at first.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
Base where me, Will Clark reminds me of David Keckner.
You put a cowboy hat on him like the Anchorman.
Ormmy funny, you would say Anchorman. It came out on
this day twenty one years ago. He reminds me of
the comedian Yeah, David Keckner, Will Clark. Now, I don't know.
To me, that's tough love and it's funny, and coaches
and bosses tell people what to do. And I don't

(33:46):
like the culture we live in now where it's like,
I don't care who you are.

Speaker 2 (33:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
How about you gotta do what you gotta do. You
have a job to do. Do you tell your boss like, no,
I don't like how you said that to me.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
Not do it? No, but do you do what he expects?
But guess who's not Rafael Dever's boss.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
Yeah, but guess who the boss is being in to
help out Rafael Devers.

Speaker 2 (34:05):
Will you guys are saying it wrong. It's Divers.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Well that Danny g thank you because number one, if
I'm Rafael Devers, Rafael Davers, maybe he says it that way.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
If I'm Rafael Devers.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
Actually I don't know what he sounds like because he
always has a doughnut in his mouth. Rafael Devers should
be putting in extra work, especially with the again the
stigma he has around him of being lazy in subordinate.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
You sound like a Kansas City morning radio host. But
it's true.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
So you got Will Clark, who's a legend in the game.
He's a respected giant, a borderline Hall of Famer, a
three hundred lifetime batting average sort of guy who played
a great first base and Devors is too good to
not show up. You snub somebody, Dude, that's disrespect. You're
forgetting your initial disrespect hand of standing someone up. Believe
you because you're so hung up on Will clark'said divers

(34:57):
If your rock guy Devers show up three days in
a row, if you're Rafael Devers and disrespect you're a
young Dominican star and old ass, grumpy old Will Clark.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
Let me finish. That's called your elder Respect him? Who cares?

Speaker 1 (35:14):
If he's old ass Will Clark? Who cares? There's old
guys that work here. Do you not respect them?

Speaker 2 (35:20):
I gave you a chance to give your stupid s
out of the story.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I don't see you disrespecting old ass Mike when he
walks in here with his words of wisdom.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Because you respect your elders. He's not much older than you.
Guys thirty years older than me. I mean he's like
five years older than you.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
So why do you keep saying because Will Will Clark's old. Yeah,
he doesn't deserve some sort of respect.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
He was a no show.

Speaker 1 (35:42):
If you're ghosted Will Clark, Hey, if you're Rafael Devers,
you're a twenty eight year old young Dominican star, and
some rando to you, some randoll old guy.

Speaker 2 (35:54):
Who hasn't wont to ring, who hasn't won a.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Ring, says, yeah, Rafael Devers, so I'll call them the
wrong name, says You'll get you quote.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Your ass will be on the field. If I'm Rafael.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Devers, I'm telling Will Clark to lick my beep. Really,
I'm sorry. Is this not sports? Don't coaches tell players
what to do. You're supposed to like treat them with
little baby kid gloves. He coaches tell you grow up
in that culture. You think football and baseball coaches are polite.
Get your ass out there and take some fly balls.
That's how people talk. I mean, give those a tiptoe

(36:29):
around rap field. Devers in Boston. Give me an old
radio give me like an old uh sports radio guy
or something like that like the wolf Man Jack sports Radio,
sports Radio? Uh, Jim Romers, I don't know. Mike Francessa,
all right, if Mike Francessa Mike and the mad Dog legend.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Was like, oh yeah, yeah, doggie. Uh.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
If Mike Francessa said, yeah, you know what, I'm gonna
teach at Corvenus how to do radio and he's he's
not gonna get his I'm gonna get his ass in
that studio. I don't care what he says, Corno, I'm
gonna grab him by the back of the neck.

Speaker 2 (37:06):
Did I how on did I snub him three days
in a row?

Speaker 1 (37:09):
But you respond response, Will Clark has every reason to
this him and it's called it's a sneak. This he
mispronounced his name. Yeah, whatever are you forgetting the initial snub?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
You bozo?

Speaker 1 (37:24):
He stood up a guy who gave up his time
to help him three days in a row. What part
of that are you missing? He deserves a little back, man.
What Will Clark did was deserving. He stood him up
three days in a row. You think Will Clark has
nothing better to do it to help out Ralph Field Devers.
You think there is anything productive about blowhard Will Clark

(37:44):
saying the star of the team needs to grab by this.
Trying to help the guy, and the guy didn't take
any of his help. He left him there. That's the disrespect,
not Will Clark. You got it backwards, bro, swear man,
I feel like you got dropped on your head. You
see every I think backwards. Rich lives in the upside down.
The fact that he stood up Will Clark three days.

Speaker 2 (38:05):
In a row means nothing to you.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
I'm reading the headlines Giants icon, Will Clark reveals that
Dever stood him up.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
By the way, Will Clark ring or not.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
Fifteen years in the big leagues, most of his career
with the Giants, eight years with the San Francisco Giants.
They brought him there to help this guy thought he
was too good to show up.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
That's the disrespect.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
If Mike Francessa was trying to help me out, Hey, man,
I respect him. He's a guy who's proved it in
the game. I'm not going to disrespect him. Devers disrespected him.
So what's happening now is we're seeing this become sort
of an open discussion where it should have been a

(38:50):
behind the scenes sort of discussion. I think the Giants
need to put this fire out right away, because now
you got a legend arguing with the current player, and
it's a bad look. So I think what happened in
Boston is happening again. Why what's the common denominator, Rafael Thievers?

Speaker 2 (39:07):
I said it. He doesn't deserve my respect.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Question why cause guys in the big leagues making millions
of dollars show up?

Speaker 2 (39:13):
Why can't two things be true?

Speaker 1 (39:14):
Why can't Devers be a little bit of a pain
in the ass and a little lazy?

Speaker 2 (39:20):
And why can't Will Clark.

Speaker 1 (39:21):
Be like an obnoxious, disrespectful veteran legend. And that's how
like old school athletes talk seriously, like we're talking pro sports.
Here are they big babies? They can't get your ass
on the field. It's like that hurts his feelings.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
So the one thing I'll say about Will Clark, in
spending half my childhood in the Bay Area is think
of Danny Ainge in the NBA. That's kind of how
Will Clark was in baseball. I respect the Giants fully,
great rivalry with my favorite team, the Dodgers. No, but
I'm saying he was that he was like a Danny
Ainge type guy like he loved to mix it up

(39:59):
with all the other players.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
And I get it.

Speaker 1 (40:01):
So he's supposed to back off for I'm not saying
he should back off.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
I'm just saying I kind of expect this.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
Hey, if you guys, all right, all right now, let's
flip the shoe. And that's the saying I use. Okay,
I know, flip the script, but put the shoe on
the other foot here, flip the show. You were instructed
by iHeartMedia, Fox Sports, Rayo or whatever to help out
some young hotshot who's really great, but he's a little rough.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
Around the edges.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
You're like, really, all right, well, okay, if the bosses
want me to do it, and you show up to
help that guy and he doesn't show up, not one day,
but two days, not two days, three days in a row,
you're supposed to be okay with that. That's where the
disrespect is. For you to see it anywhere else is absurd. Absurd.
How about the disrespect of mispronouncing the young star's name.

(40:47):
He deserved it and then served it at that, then
saying he's gonna drag his ass out on the field,
grab him by the neck.

Speaker 2 (40:52):
Good good, because that's why they got rid of him
in Boston.

Speaker 7 (40:58):
What if you felt like you were better though than
the old guy they were bringing in to try to
tell you something?

Speaker 2 (41:04):
Really, what's his experience at first base?

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (41:07):
Really? Well, not not just first but in general. Like,
I don't I don't think he's not, but he's not.
And I'm trying to I'm trying to think. I get it.
I understand he go out the door.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Everybody thinks they're the greatest, but clearly the Giants don't
think so if they're bringing in a veteran player to
help him out.

Speaker 7 (41:25):
But why can't Will Clark keep this behind closed doors
with the organization.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
Because he's a buffoo.

Speaker 1 (41:30):
But that's why this is a story, right, So I
agree there it's becoming of this should be behind You
don't agree with you?

Speaker 7 (41:37):
Yeah, you don't want to, like put the organization's new
player on black.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
I agree.

Speaker 5 (41:42):
Maybe he would have kept it private if he didn't
stiff him, if it was two times he stiffed him
instead of three three stiffs.

Speaker 7 (41:48):
Dude, when you're in a position though now with the Giants,
I don't think you put any of this out there.
I think that that sidetracks what you're supposed to be doing, is.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
Will Clark's supposed to have the Giants fan base not
embrace their new star. Yeah, but are they supposed to
disrespect the old stars? If Ben Rice disrespected Don Mattingley
that way, I'd be like, screw Ben Rice. But Don
Mattingly would be a fool to try to turn the
Yankee fan base against Ben Rice. Will Clark for the record,

(42:19):
just for the record, two hundred and eighty four home runs,
career lifetime batting average of three to h three with
almost twenty two hundred hits in the big leagues ever
looked up those numbers and he was like, man, he
had no respect for it. He also had one of
the most punishable faces Will Clark. Hey, Danny, I know
where you were going. Will Clark is a very punishable guy.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
I get it. Your thoughts on this, like, how do
you see it?

Speaker 1 (42:42):
Because it is becoming more of a story, a developing
story of man, I don't know notice is turning into
the exact Boston situation. I find Will Clark very entertaining.
But I think if you're trying to make the new
guy feel welcomed, then the Giants fan base to embrace
their the star that should be on their team for
the next decade. If he wanted to be embraced, maybe

(43:04):
he shouldn't snubb the veteran players and people trying to
help him.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Well, first of all.

Speaker 1 (43:08):
Get his name right, that's that was Second of all
because it's after the fact. It's after the fact if
someone disrespected you, you can be all kind about it.

Speaker 2 (43:20):
Bigger picture is that he needs to kiss Devers ass.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
No talking about I'm gonna call you Rich Davis, Yeah,
rich dumbass. Oh, I'm sorry, Davis Cove.

Speaker 7 (43:30):
Is there something to be said about the Giants not
learning anything from what happened in Boston? Ass if I'm
if I'm running the Giants, I'm not even trying to
put this guy anywhere.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Near First is the common denominator?

Speaker 7 (43:42):
I get that, But you just saw you just saw
what happened in Boston.

Speaker 1 (43:46):
And by the way, for the record, I'm a Yankees
fan and Devers is a Yankees killer, and I've always
sung his praises of what a natural, an incredible hitter
he is. He's he's unstoppable. So everything I'm saying, I'm
saying jokingly, but I do find it to be very
disrespectful to the great Will Clark. I'm also a guy
that respects his elders and the veterans, and I'm always

(44:06):
open to hear what they say. And I believe Rafael
Devers should have handled himself in a professional way and
showed up well period. He really wants to be better
and if he really wants to do what's best for
the team, two wrongs don't make a right or something
like that. I mean, you have disrespectful, but Will Will
Clark was rude right back after being stood up three

(44:28):
He's a grown man. A grown man stood up three
days in a row. What good does that do for
the Giants? Their future is based on Rafael Devers, not
old ass Will Clark. So who do you want the
fans to embrace?

Speaker 2 (44:39):
You want?

Speaker 1 (44:39):
You want to give the fans a reason not to
like the guy You've just gotten a huge trade? What
do you guys think? Fox Sports Radio Nation. We want
your feedback at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
And if we don't get to your phone calls, please
chime in at Covino and Rich because I want to
throw something at Rich. I really do, because there's no
way Rich would ever deal with that disrespect from from anybody.
If he was giving up his time, you think Will

(44:59):
Clark has nothing better to do. Well, you know we
gotta do right now. It's Wednesday, and maybe we could
agree on one thing. Mike who runs this place, who
has words of wisdom.

Speaker 2 (45:09):
And I respect them and I do. I would never
stand him up three days and or whatever. Never, because
I'm a good guy.

Speaker 1 (45:15):
But if he called you Steve Corvino, he could he
can't like venus Corvenus Corvenus because you know what else
Mike could say?

Speaker 2 (45:23):
Because I respect him. Hey, youngster, get draft back in
the studio. What am I gonna be like? Uncle Bee?

Speaker 1 (45:29):
I don't like the disrespect. Yeah, get out of here,
all right? Yeah, you're a throne man. I think you
could take a little, uh, a little bit of a
ribbing and you gotta again. These are coaches. He was
an official coach, but he was there to coach. I. Well,
you know what, let's get some words of wisdom from
big Mike who runs this place. And if you repeat
it verbatim verbatim, which means word for word, word for word, you,

(45:54):
my friends, could win a coveno on rich stainless steel
Swiggy Sam hit the music here Mike's words of wisdom.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
And just repeat them. That's the game. Let's go. It's
time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 7 (46:07):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 8 (46:17):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Always remember, half of the people you meet in this
world have below average intelligence.

Speaker 1 (46:35):
No, I'm just still trying to think about it. I
think he's talking about me. I think I think so.

Speaker 7 (46:43):
Well, we have to make an executive decision here. The
phone lines are all jammed because you guys were just
arguing over a really good hot take and yeah, so
now it's like the contestants are going.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
To be blocked.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Oh good, let it simmer. Maybe they'll forget it. We
have You know, we have a lot of prizes to
give away. Are you saying that most of these people
are below intelligence, that we're half of thewn uh? You
know what I want to if you want to win
a Swigge, try to get through the phones are clogged
eight seven seven nine nine on Fox and.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
We can't help it if we're so damn popular you want.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Us to do, man, but your thoughts on devers will
Clock will take that, but we'll try to get a winner.
And you know what, it goes with my theory, Danny
Mike's wards wisdom sort of tie into a sentiment you
and I have been discussing, which is not every quarterback
could be a top ten quarterback.

Speaker 2 (47:26):
There are quarterbacks you have to accept. And we talk
about the.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
League, thirty plus teams, there's gonna be a bottom third.
No one wants to put their quarterback in the bottom third.
But by default, you know, like if there's pageant girls,
they could all be smoking hot, but there's one of
them that comes in the last place.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
It just happens.

Speaker 1 (47:45):
Right, So your answers to Big Mike, some devors will
Clark will do that next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 7 (47:54):
Do you want to try to take one contestant one
got through between all the devs.

Speaker 1 (47:58):
Yeah, you know, a tough one I think should do it.
You know what, Let's let's see, let's try. Let's if
Jake could do it, and then we'll we'll come back,
we'll talk to some devors and we'll Clark and then
Spot's got mid week.

Speaker 2 (49:40):
We appreciate it. Thank you.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Let's go rapid fire on the Devers. Will Clark and
then spots standing by with Midweek Major JP in the
Bay Area.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
He is an insight. What's up San France?

Speaker 6 (49:50):
Hey, how's the guy got? How you guys doing.

Speaker 2 (49:52):
We're going there? What's up?

Speaker 6 (49:53):
Fantastic? Okay, So I sent you guys a couple of
things on Twitter. I'm the villain that you need. Yes,
So here's the thing. As the guy previously said, Will
Clark did him backpedal. He said he understood where he
was coming from because the week that it was, he's
twenty feet in front of the dugout. Doesn't want to
have to deal with that. But here's the other thing
you guys need to understand. When Devers actually got here,

(50:15):
he was actually taking ground as at first that same day.
First of all, so he was doing it that same day,
no matter what. Second, this actually all started with Will Fleming,
who's an announcer for the for the Boston Red Sox,
who's actually brothers with Dave Fleming announcer that you guys
put on earlier that did the inside Park omeren. He
went on Weei first and saying, oh look what he did?

(50:37):
He you know, he stiffed them. He you know, he
was talking all this junk about Devers. So that's why
Burnsey asked Will Clark about it, for him to go
ahead and smooth it all out. That's where it all started.
It didn't start with Will Clark coming out of nowhere
and saying it. It actually started Will Fleming going.

Speaker 1 (50:52):
On, w e, yes, you you're a bay Ay guy,
a Giants fan. I'll take your word. Are most Giant
fans getting a little testing Devers or they like, Yo,
he's cool, he's our guy.

Speaker 6 (51:03):
No, no, everybody understands what was happening here. Okay, it's
cool with him. Oh plus, just real quick, the reason
why Will Clark was here, he didn't necessarily just take
his own time. Actually that weekend was autism weekend, which
will Son is autistic and saw his mind, and that's
why I kind of have a kinship with him. So
that's why he was here anyway. So he's figured a half.
I'm a beater. I'll go ahead and I'll do it.
It's not like he flew out the way out here
from New Orleans. They're in Mississippi where he lives. You know,

(51:25):
he was out here, you know, for that weekend anyway.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Yeah, but maybe Will Clark is backpedaling it a little bit.
Good points well, Jpaper, because the Giants are like, yo, man,
we need to put this fire out. We don't want
it to become a Boston situation.

Speaker 7 (51:37):
Yeah, really really quick to show we can and embrace
Will Clark no matter who we root for. Where Steve
and Boise called in. He said, do you guys know
Will Clark's very first st at bat, first pitch of
his career, he hit a home run off of the
great Nolan Ryan.

Speaker 1 (51:51):
Yes, that's you know what, and I find him very entertaining.
I just think, you know, you know, let's uh, the
funds are we'll never get to everyone, but let's a
spot right now. It's time for mid Week Major. Let's
go Covino and Rich get you over the middle of
the week.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
When mid Week Major, I love that we.

Speaker 8 (52:11):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the
fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 3 (52:17):
Say that's summit.

Speaker 13 (52:18):
We definitely reader.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
See it our scoring mid Week major, I go really
faster to give Spotty two and a half minutes. Let's
just skip in. Let's go up. You got to roll
the two big red love guy for first take.

Speaker 7 (52:35):
Three, all right, that's easy to beat usually six Rich,
all right, Rich, that's the first take in. Now, ladies
and gentlemen, the most famous person from Scotch Points New
Jersey that sides Judy Bloom Spotty Boys.

Speaker 13 (52:49):
The w n B A edition of NBA two K
two six has been released and it features exactly who
you may expect on the cover, and that's uh King Clark.
That's consecutive three times Sportswoman of the Year eight So
according to NBA two K general manager Zach Armitage, the
NBA two K two six is celebrating the Bowld, the confident,
the visionaries and w NBA star all Star Angel Rees

(53:12):
carries all of that on and off the court. Of course,
many people scratching their heads as to why she was
chosen over Kitlyn Clark, feuding the rumor or fueling their.

Speaker 2 (53:21):
Feud mid Week or made I am so happy? Rich
has first take on this. Oh I think this is uh,
I mean major and week at the same time.

Speaker 10 (53:31):
We definitely major and I'll tell you I'll.

Speaker 2 (53:33):
Tell you why. Because it's major.

Speaker 1 (53:35):
Because they put Angel Reese on. It's gonna cause controversy.
But I think at the end of the day, who
cares is on the cover. I know it's a big deal,
but it's women's basketball video game.

Speaker 2 (53:42):
You really played this.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
But I do think that Angel Reese creeps out there
that a lot of I think Angel rees Kaitlin Clark
drama only does great for the NBA w n b A.
I think anytime these women are being caddy, I'm leaning
into it one hundred percent.

Speaker 2 (53:56):
So yeah, I think it's good, good, well, good, Look.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
I think it's so mid because if they really wanted
to market this game, they positioned it like Jordan. Actually
the game was Jordan versus Burrow, which is odd because
they weren't really rivals, but that was the game. But
they put him face to face on the cover, rename
the game because that's what people care about.

Speaker 2 (54:19):
Nobody cares about. Yeah, well, I don't want to say
Angel revees, but they care about the few.

Speaker 1 (54:24):
They care about the rivalry, and I don't know, it's
a mid story all around.

Speaker 13 (54:30):
All right, We're all excited to head to Atlanta for
the MLB All Star festivities next week. Game is gonna
look a little bit differently than in years past, and
that's because the game will be the first non Spring
training game to feature the new automatic balls and strike system.
I saw that this year was the full full year
in spring training that they used it after the miners.

(54:51):
Teams had two challenges per game and retain after the
challenge one. Only the batter, pitcher, catcher can call the challenge.
The system still being fine tuned, and Commissioner Rob Manfred
has hopes to roll out the system for the regular
season next year, so this might be a step in
that direction. Madwaker Major, Oh what now they're.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
Doing the whole tap on the helmet like you could
challenge a call. I think that's cool because I didn't
hate it in spring training, and I love All Star
games and things like that.

Speaker 2 (55:20):
Is a good way to sort of find two in
these things. I think it's cool.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
I think it'll be fun when when Skeenes thinks he
struck out Aaron Judge and Aaron Judge.

Speaker 2 (55:26):
Are like so fair, which cool is not one of
the options I had to play. So what do you say?
Definitely cool? Thank you thinking definitely cool. I have a
cool deVie.

Speaker 1 (55:37):
Major too, because it could lead to a permanent change
in the game, and I'm okay with it. I think
it's really cool. I think umpires need to check their
egos at the door. It's not about them. It's about
getting the call right and let's let's get this going.

Speaker 2 (55:49):
I'm all for it.

Speaker 1 (55:50):
I think one of the coolest things in spring training
was when Jazz Chisholm on the Hikes was so confident
that he knew it was ball four even though he
got punched out, that he ran down to first base
like no, I know, I know.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
Oh cool? All right, Major Major, a.

Speaker 13 (56:04):
Cool TikTok gymnast influencer, whatever she is these days, let
me done. Who's also, of course, you know, the famous
girlfriend of Pirates pitcher Paul Skeins recently revealed in a
TikTok that she was denied her first real estate purchase,
so she was eyeing up Babe Ruth's apartment at a
New York City building.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Sam play the Sound.

Speaker 3 (56:24):
A few months ago, I decided I was going to
make my first real estate purchase, which is so exciting,
And I was going to get an apartment in New
York City, but the gag was it was Babe Ruth's apartment.
So naturally, like I'm telling everybody, I'm excited, I was
going to buy it and I was going to pay
with cash, like I wanted this apartment bad. Then the
week that I'm supposed to get my keys to my

(56:45):
brand new apartment, I get a call the co Op
board denied me. So pretty much the people in the
building voted to not have me live there, which is fine, Like, honestly,
it wasn't financial. Maybe they didn't want a public figure
living there. But I was literally supposed to get the keys,
and that week they denied me.

Speaker 13 (57:03):
Co Op or notorious for denying people on the simplest things.
So Ruth apparently lived back there live there in nineteen
twenty nine. But this, of course has sparked rumors that
perhaps her boyfriend is eyeing up a move to the Bronx,
I don't.

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Know, or Queen's or the Bronx. The Bronx.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Why would you go to New York to play for
in the Queens Queens? I mean, why would Yeswan Soda
Midweek or major I think this is major because you know,
I get Pittsburgh's not that far away from New York,
but when you're serious like the Schemes and Done, which
by the way, sounds like a country group.

Speaker 2 (57:40):
So I think that the fact that she's.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
Eyeing up like big time real estate in the New
York City shows that, yeah, this whole like scheme's getting
no run support with an era like minuscule, and he's
won one game in the last seven starts like he's moving,
it's not. He's not gonna see it out in Pittsburgh.
I just hope it's Queen's and not the Bronx. Major
in every way, Paul's one of the biggest names in
the game. And I think it's major that these people

(58:05):
in these hoa's are on such a power trip or
whatever boards they are board.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
You know, New York there is such a power trip.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
They're like, we don't want public figures like Livvy Done.
You know, I would love to see Livy Done walking
up and down the hallways where I live. Give me
a break. It's like only murders from the building. Like
those boards of people are old, they're.

Speaker 2 (58:23):
Like eighty year old.

Speaker 1 (58:27):
But it probably would even enhance the value they'd make
Babe Ruth's pad even sweeter. It's a cool story, but
I really do believe that this means great things for
the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
I really believe that the myths. No, I don't believe that.

Speaker 1 (58:40):
I wonder if that apartment still has a smell a
little hint of hot dogs.

Speaker 2 (58:43):
Smell.

Speaker 1 (58:43):
Yeah, the baby livet thanks. Before we get out of here,
we talked a lout of baseball today. We talked some
football today. How about we talk a moment of NBA
just to put a bow on an action pack Cavin
on Rich Wednesday. I can't wait to read all the
feedback later though, So continue hitting us up.

Speaker 7 (59:04):
Yeah, you guys melted the phone lines with that Devers thing.
Yeah yeah, and to the point where I had to
reset the phone system and didn't get Corbyn in Oklahoma's info.

Speaker 2 (59:13):
So Corbyn call us back.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
Hit us or hit us up at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio hashtag Rich is wrong, everybody Sean,
by the way, hit us up in La. He listens
out here on the iHeart app. He said, he goes,
what about skeens to the Dodgers? I said, how dare
you say such a thing like imagine if they got
the Dodgers. Imagine if the Dodgers got Skeens, I would
throw up, He'd be injured. Oh amen, allright, NBA, real

(59:38):
quick before you get out of here cave.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
You know you alluded to it earlier.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Ticket sales off the charts Summer League Cooper Flagg's debut,
and you're also going to get Bronnie James, So a
record high for more than Wemby, more than Bronnie's game
a year ago. So is is the buzz for Cooper Flag?
Is he going to be a must watch the most?
If this is any indication, yes, because it's the most

(01:00:00):
expensive Summer League ticket of all time. Cooper Flag versus
Brownnie James. Tickets are selling get this for a historic amount.
Lower bowl tickets are going for about six hundred and
fifty damn for court side tickets.

Speaker 2 (01:00:16):
Are going for twenty five hundred each.

Speaker 1 (01:00:18):
I mean we're talking about Summer League, like Summer League
game no one really.

Speaker 2 (01:00:21):
Knows playing except a couple of stars. But its exhibition.
Do you it's exhibition?

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Do you think Cooper Flag is going to be the
all eyes on this rookie type of guy. I guess
maybe I'm downplaying. I don't think there's any doubt. Do
you remember he's a he's a major draw if people
are willing to pay this much for a preseason Do
you remember what put him on the map. Do you
remember he scrimmaged against Team USA and he was like
not only holding his own but he was he was

(01:00:46):
out playing NBA stars. And that's how that's what's not
put him on the map. If you're a college basketball fan,
I'm sure you know of him, but that put him
on the mainstream map where people like, wait.

Speaker 2 (01:00:55):
A minute, who people like what's going on? And you
were seeing the highlights.

Speaker 1 (01:00:58):
So Cooper Flagg fact that they're marketing this as Cooper
Flag versus Bronnie James makes it even more exciting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:04):
And what do we talk about?

Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
The NBA needs young stars to emerge and they got
to play this right, Cooper Flag Bronnie James.

Speaker 2 (01:01:12):
Let's see, let's watch hype it up.

Speaker 1 (01:01:15):
I know it's really cool, like Bronnie James could really
step out of the shadows if he performs well. We
changed a narrative immediately starting tomorrow, Like, no, Bronnie James
really played big because all eyes are on this game
because of Cooper Flag, so it's gonna be exciting tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
I'll tune in. And would you pay twenty five hundred
dollars for that? I see? Absolutely no.

Speaker 1 (01:01:33):
We were in Vegas for Wemby's debut and I remember
being like Dan, that was that was a big ticket.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
This is even bigger
