Speaker 2 (00:16):
Day on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Let's talk some Cleveland Browns because they love to say. Oh,
there's the Jets jetting, there's the Mets meting. You know,
some teams getting their own way. Oh there's the Clippers clipping.
There's teams that are a reputation of sort of just
are you saying the Browns are browning? The Browns are
browning and well literally browning. They got the They're calling
them the alpha dog uniforms. I'm calling them the all doodoos.

(00:45):
They are head to tell brown all doodos. You say, well,
they unveiled their new alpha dog alternate helmets, big unveiling
and it's sponsored by Dude Wipes.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
To back up your point, that's right.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
As they unveil the would you call them again, they're
not the Alpha dogs, that the all doodoos. As they
unveil the all Dodos sponsored by Dude Wives. They pull
back the orange tarp to unveil all the new giant
inflatable helmet by the lake and one of the photographers,
I guess, yeah it is a photographer's one of the

(01:22):
guys filming this event falls into the lake. What a dingleberry?
Did you see it? Like, it's really funny. It's it's
so dumb. It's pretty damn funny because mister met just
fell off the stage, man, and you know what, all
joking aside, it probably will look badass on the field
like that all brown matt finished helmet. It will look

(01:45):
pretty dope come NFL season. But this photographer that falls
in a lake, it gets me thinking of those moments
where you take a fall and you know when you
try to play it off like it's the old sports
jog off. You know, when you trip and then you
act like you're jogging like you tripping.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
Then you do oh he or you do a dance move.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Yeah, you start breaking it down. Danny G's just doing
the windmill.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
Remember when Matthew Stafford the Rams won the Super Bowl
and some woman fell off the stage and he just
gave a look like I remember he.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
Got Yeah, he got criticized for not helping her. It
was out there a Super Bowl parade.

Speaker 4 (02:21):
She was backing up and she was at the front
of the stage and she just fell right off the stage.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
And he was like, you know, it's funnier when you
really zoom in on the footage right that we're discussing
here again the Browns, only the Browns. They unveil their
new alternate helmet, the air all Dudoos, Alpha Dogs, whatever
you call them, right next to the inflatable helmet that
they unveiled, the all brown helmet. It looks like they

(02:44):
have the Browns mascot and a dude Wipe's mascot right Like,
if you look close, it's a dude wipe mascot dancing
around and you got some jibbroni film in the whole thing.
And he's trying to back up to fit the mascots
into the frame. And that's when he falls off the
platform into the lake.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Like what an.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Ass now ruins the whole thing? Yeah, great unveiling. You
just stole the whole show, you dork. I mean, I listen,
I know we've all done something like this in our lives.
So this is where I say, be a man, be
a woman, call us and let us know your story.
He's the biggest loser here, seriously, the guy in the
dude wipes costume, the brown mascot, or the guy that

(03:28):
falls in the lake.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
It's hard to figure out how I mean.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
I think we've all had an embarrassing fall. And that's
what I want to share now. But you said the
guy in the costume, Yeah, because you don't see that
unless you look really close. Can you please share with everyone?
Because I know we've been doing our show for years,
but for the Fox Sports Radio audience, they might not
know when Cavino had to dress up as a mascot

(03:52):
at a clothing store. Jesus, you gotta make me tell
this story out of nowhere, one of my favorite.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Can we be back on a Wednesday? Yeah? All right,
So the answer is I'm the biggest loser.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
But again, I was fifteen, so I was like no,
I was probably like seventeen years old, and I was
working at a clothes store called the Garage. It's not
the one you see at the mall now, but it
was a mall store back in the late nineteen hundreds.
Like Chess King, the garage, Merry Go Round Express.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
So I worked at the garage and I sold levies
and men's clothing and Boss Hugo Boss and that kind
of stuff. Big Johnson t shirts soon Big Johnson, if
you qualified, I still have some. So so I'm there
and it was Thanksgiving and I'm a young kid and

(04:41):
the boss is like, yeah, you got to put this on.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I'm like, what I keep in mind? Dude? You know
that was the coolest kid going.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Really, if you think Cavino's arrogant, now think of seventeen
year old Jersey Guido.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
I've been I've been humbled, trust that, you know.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
All state high school star thinks he's awesome telling Caveno
to put on the turkey cush. Yeah, I mean I
thought I was the man. Hairline and jawline was intact.
I'm like, you want me to wear this? And it
was a turkey outfit with the striped stockings, the turkey feet,
the whole deal, right, And I'm like, this is embarrassing.

(05:16):
And this store wasn't in a mall. It was on
the actual highway Route twenty two in New Jersey, like
a major, major highway in my hometown. And I had
to get out on the highway and hold up like
the Thanksgiving Day sale sign, like for the whole day.
It just so happened. To make it a better story.
This is the true story. It just so happened. That

(05:36):
was the day my girlfriend and all her hot friends
came to visit, like where's Steeve? She brought me cookies
and all her hot friends were there, the cheerleaders and everything.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
And they walk up to the store and I see, dude,
I see this happening.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
I'm like, oh no, right, and they're there and they're like,
where's Steve? And I see the boss pointing at me,
like outside in the parking lot.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
They all came out.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I had to take that stupid turkey head off of
my you know, I go, stupid helmet off my head,
shame an embarrassment. And they were just sitting there looking
at me, and I felt like the biggest tool bag.
But then again, I didn't fall into a lake, so
I guess I'm not that bad. Well as far as falls.
I want to take it to sports for a second.
Danny Ikne, you were saying there was a dude as

(06:19):
I'm watching some of the Royals Cubs highlights in the background.
By the way, most home runs by a cub through
one hundred games, by the way, as a rookie twenty seven. Now,
so as a young player, I mean before the age
of twenty three.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Yeah, we're starting to see some homers light up MLB.
Otani just hit his for his fifth straight game.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
A homer. Yeah, insane. Someone at the Cubbies.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Yeah, just happened Monday night in the outfield right the
Cubs fan tumbled into the basket and left field, you.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Know, in between the wall and the ivy there's that
like netting basket, some like a fan basket.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Dude. That was so embarrassing. They a big fat fit.
Imagine if it was barbed wire. Oh so funny.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
I think everybody saw that clip of this giant slug
of a man so desperate for a ball he falls
into the netting.

Speaker 2 (07:12):
It was so funny.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
You you happen to be at the Yankees game, Do
you guys remember that highlight from maybe ten twenty years
ago where the.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Dude falls on the netting above home plate.

Speaker 5 (07:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
I was there at that game and they had to
pause the game. The dude.

Speaker 1 (07:25):
We're sitting there, me and my buddy Sean and we
see this guy fall like, oh my god, he fell
onto the netting over home plate and had to crawl
back up.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
And would you have traded places with him? It had
you not had to wear the turkey outfit.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
And that was scary and the whole game stop to
watch this guy. D I was at a game once.
This had to be late eighties, early nineties. I was
at a game once. You jumped and you caught that
extra point? No, no, no, Mea likes to tell people
that was my dad. Remember the guy that jumped through
the uprights and caught the football. That's one of the
greatest highlights ever spot.

Speaker 2 (07:59):
I know you remember this? Can you know? You probably
did too? Late eighties. I was at a game once. Oh,
when the guy got mauled by a tiger on the field. No,
I was.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
I saw a fat woman follow the upper deck onto
Reggie Jackson.

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Oh I saw that. Oh you were there at that game.
I saw that. There, I've seen there. Yeah, and beautiful.
Oh I'm sorry? Was that? No?

Speaker 1 (08:19):
That was naked gun my back? Well, hey it's coming back.
It's really booted.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I know.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
So are we talking greatest falls or most embarrassing moments?
Are they a little bulf, I mean the brown The
Browns did both today. They unveiled these helmets, you know,
cool for them. I like that they're taking chances. They're
always trying to rebrand and do something to get that
fan base excited. It's a tough division. He got the Ravens,
he got you're not a big fan of Brownie the Elf.

(08:45):
You got Joe Burrow and the Bengals who are going to,
you know, come on strong this year. And of course
in that same division, you got Aaron Rodgers now trying
to make some noise with the Steelers. So the Browns
in my mind like the odd man out because they
have like a five person deep quarterback and we don't
know what the future of Deshaun Watson is u Shadoor Sanders, Like,
there's so many question marks in Cleveland that I feel like,

(09:07):
you know, you're trying to hype up the crowd. This
is a bad omen. There's a bad omen to that uniform.
You know, the dumb ass falls into the water. It's
not a good sign of things to come. You know,
I had a really bad As you get older and
by no means am I old, but as you get older,
you're grown. Yeah, I'm grown. These falls become a little scarier.
They could set you back a little bit. The other day,

(09:30):
it was about I'd say it was about three months ago.
Maybe I was at a park walking the dog. I
wasn't doing yo yo tricks like you, Sam. I was
actually walking my dog walking. I'm not a dunkin champion
like Sam. I was walking my dog, the dog THEO
and I was on my phone at the same time.
Big mistake. So I think I got it. He's a

(09:52):
little dog and he just jets toward a group of
squirrels and birds whatever was going on there. But he
yet it's like full force. And I thought I had
like enough slack. But however fast he was running. He
pulled it right out of my fingers and he was
running toward the street, a busy street here in Los Angeles,

(10:13):
and I saw his little doggy life flash before my eyes, like,
oh my god, I lost him on the leash.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Well girlfriend would have done to you?

Speaker 1 (10:22):
Oh yeah, I saw all of this happen and play
out in the matter of a split seid sprint. Dude,
I it was like a cartoon, you know, in a
cartoon where your legs move but you don't go anywhere.
I dread that, and I fell, and I fell so hard,
but I tripped over like the root of a tree
or something. Either that or it's like my feet really
were like cinderblocks in the moment. I fell so hard

(10:42):
on my knees. Man, I was in pain for like
a good week after that. But that was recently, and
it was at a pure panic because my body wouldn't
move as fast as I I wanted to in that moment,
as fast as my mind set I had to to
save the dog's life. And embarrassing enough, there was a
woman looking at me, like, are you okay? Covid is

(11:03):
this you after you fell?

Speaker 5 (11:05):
I've fallen and I can get up.

Speaker 2 (11:08):
How did you get that audio? I was hiding in
the tree.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
But seriously, it was so embarrassing, duet. They know my
knees were all cut up like when you were a
little kid, and yet you fell racing a friend and
the pavement. That's how it was. It happened to me recently.
You have a little pieces of pavement in your palm.
My hands were a dog. The dog was safe.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
But I think we've all but my knees were not.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
We've all had an embarrassing fall because we've been on
our phones or we were not paying attention. You might
have walked into a street, walked into a fountain. You've
seen those videos, So the best are these. You know,
woman on her phone, she walks right into a fountain.
I'll be honest, falls right in. I just laugh when
it's a woman. Sometimes, I know say like what do you?

Speaker 4 (11:46):
People on their phones walking is just a dangerous proposition, especially.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Walking, especially if it's like a rich woman with a
bunch of shopping bags at the mall and falls.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Into a fountain.

Speaker 1 (11:55):
That's the best you ever see someone walk across the
street and they walk into an like an open man hole,
just full right in.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
That happens. I think there's they're supposed to have those
like guarded. Isn't that a bar?

Speaker 1 (12:07):
You used to go to New York City The Manhole?
Man hold the open man Hole price drinks on Thursday.
I'm pretty sure it is. It's hard to explain, but
Rich and I did the same thing outside of Fox
Sports Radio here in Sherman Oaks, California.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
You have to picture this.

Speaker 1 (12:24):
They have all these trees outside of the building, and
I think they've removed one of the trees or plants
or whatever, and they left this big giant open hole and.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
They're usually gated.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
They put like this gate sort of grill over them
sometimes and for whatever reason, there was nothing there. And
both of us, at separate times, we're walking looking at
our phones and we stepped right in a good like
three feet dude almost broke our next Seriously, it was
so dangerous that we could have honestly caused the problem
for the city. Because it was so bad. They eventually

(12:55):
covered him up out front. But there was a big
giant hole and if you were if you weren't looking, you.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Were falling right in it.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
I'm gonna sue, Yeah, nothing you ever see. Uh, it's
probably a fake video. But we've all seen those videos
where like at a wedding or an event, someone doesn't
realize they're walking close to like a pool and like
some older woman will well just you know, be not
looking where she's going.

Speaker 2 (13:18):
Half the footsteps on and into the pool.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
And yep, so again that happened as the Browns unveiled
their new all brown Alpha dog helmets. The guy ruined
the whole Honestly, it makes the moment like a mockery.
It makes a joke of the moment. It ruins the
moment you falls into the lake and you see the
dude white mascot. Everyone's like, oh, our two year old koa,

(13:45):
he ran into the sliding glass door the other day.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
I cleaned it a few days ago, Windecks, and I
have an excuse now to not clean that ever again.
It was too clean.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Rich did that in front of a celebrity. You want
to tell that story. Embarrassing moment because you're not looking
where you're going. We were at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
and it's it's not even like a celebrity of a
big note, but we Oh really, I think I'll tweet
her right now and tell.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Her you said that.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
We saw Sarah Silverman and it was a cool moment
only because she remembered us. She's like, can you not Rich,
Like she happened to be on our show recently, and
I was like, oh my gosh, she remembered us.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
We small talked and I was like, I good seeing you.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
I turned around as the glass sliding doors were closing,
and Danny like, I'm telling you my face oil The
imprint was on the glass, and then you know, I'm
happy I didn't break the door.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
That happened to me.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
And by the way, as we rag on the Browns
a little bit, with the Doodoo Brown all uniform and
the guy falling in the lake, you almost have to
take two and like, maybe not use these helmets this season.
I mean, I could have maybe thought of this, but
I just looked it up. Do you know they have
according to most gambling sites at mgm our friends, at DraftKings,

(15:04):
fan Duel, everywhere in Vegas, they have the current lowest
win total over under in the NFL. So they're looking like,
do you have more quarterback options or more wins? It's
a great question. What do you guys think?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
That is a good question.

Speaker 1 (15:24):
It's a great question, Steve, because the answer is more
quarterback options. Vegas has them at four and a half
wins over under. Wow, they have quarterback options. The Vegas
is predicting wins, so that's pathetic. As of right now,
Vegas is saying are they going to go four and thirteen?

Speaker 2 (15:39):
They need to five?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Who do so your thoughts, embarrassing moments, if you want
to share. We just thought it was a funny way
for the Browns to sort of break in the twenty
twenty five Well, hey, by the way, you think we're
all being due right now because everybody does it for
the Gram and looks for ways to go viral, we
are talking about it.

Speaker 2 (15:58):
Oh you think they set it up?

Speaker 1 (16:00):
I mean it's not impossible, right. It's like the what
was that play that the Lions ran?

Speaker 6 (16:07):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (16:08):
Yeah, a stumblebum Yeah, where Jared Goff pretended like he
slipped in this.

Speaker 1 (16:11):
Stumble bump and they did it and everyone thought like,
oh man, look Jared Goff almost fell.

Speaker 3 (16:16):
Wait a second, yeah, took the linebacker's eyes. Wait a minute,
they'll stumblebum See. Maybe you were all being stumble bummed
and they're just trying to go viral. You know, I
wouldn't put it past It's how you make a memorable moment.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Otherwise who would care.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
No, it makes me mad when some young as clown
on TikTok or Instagram will say something or mispronounced something
purposefully just because they know they'll get engagement, because there's
the comments of people say this so worse. This might
have been drawn up in the borderom like Harry, this
is how we do it, Johnson, we got the dude
white mask ot there.

Speaker 2 (16:50):
I know this guy, he falls into the lake and
everybody's talking about it. That's marketing, maybe marketing gold and
we all just got duped. It's possible they're going to
pass office.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
This organic moment is embarrassing, falling into the water, but
it's actually stage.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
That's how you do it, Johnson, that's how you do it. Man,
that's so weak. I hope, I hope. We're just floating
that out there. That's what it is. That's just the theory,
floating it out there.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Thank you.

Speaker 1 (17:19):
I we're like filling Frank Apparently we're filling in for
Cowherd next Thursday and Friday.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
I can't wait.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Stars attract stars, so we have lots to get to
Midweek Major, giving away some prizes, Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom.
We got these embarrassing moments for the Browns falling into
a lake and veiling their new helmets. But do you
want to talk about this fighting for the foul ball
thing you've been I do. But I wanted to say

(17:50):
hi to people chiming in. Let's start with Jesse in Indiana. Hey, Jesse,
what up?

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Jess? What guys? How's it going?

Speaker 1 (17:57):
We're good man, what's your embarrassing story, because I feel
like while we can lock this, you know photographer for
falling in a lake, I think we've all taken a spell.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
You try to play it off, but it happens.

Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
So, my my story goes back to when.

Speaker 8 (18:12):
I was in eighth grade.

Speaker 9 (18:14):
I was doing marching band and I.

Speaker 7 (18:16):
Had a spot where I had to basically run across
the football field and right at the fifty yard.

Speaker 9 (18:22):
Line, I tripped myself up and fell right in front
a big crowd of people.

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Man, that was like double embarrassing because then the number
one year in the march and tuba fell on his head.
Number one year the marching band, number two, you fell,
and then the tuba fell in your head.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
I'm just kidding. We all marched our way somewhere. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
I did that just to make my mom proud for
way too long, Steven before I remember my mom, Oh
my god, marching playing the trumpet like a goober.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Did you guys see the video of the guy for
the Ohio State Marching Band a few years ago running
out of the tunnelly trips and just biffs it hard.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, yeah, that story, I would saying, you play an
instrument as a kid. Oh yeah, piano. I played guitar
a little bit, some percussion. Oh sang in the choir.

Speaker 1 (19:06):
See, there was a choice we all had to make
back in the day. You had to either say goodbye
to the old trumpet or as Rich played third clarinet
first of all or ice sports. And I was like,
all right, you know, trumpet's cool and all, but I'd
rather play some sports.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
Disagree.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
I continued doing both because I I was not gonna
let I want to play football and what suit up
and then put this goofy water buffalo head on. I
was not going to let someone force me into a decision.
I could do both. The Renaissance man, you can't play
football and be in the marching band. I was in
the high school play while I'm pitching in high school.
You literally cannot be in the marching band and play football.

(19:45):
It's That's what I'm saying. It's I want to accepted,
Travis uh Oh, I forgot Rich was the first two
sport athletes.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah it was yeah, marching band in baseball.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
He was there the Grand Marshal of the Nerd Parade,
and he played football.

Speaker 4 (19:57):
Do you pull out your pocket piccolo on the sideline
to start solong for your teammates.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
I played the alto saxophone. Did you play an instrument,
Danny g Were you a mugous?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
I did.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
I always found it interesting that we all sweat musicians,
but people would make fun of Ben there. So I'm like,
Danny gis was the bass in the acapella.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
He was in Rockapellah.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
I played the drums. I could see that. Danny was like,
but no, but see the thing was we air base.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
It was.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
It was cool in middle school, but then to go
into high school you stopped because you'd have to join
the marching band. So seventh eighth, sixth, seventh eighth grade
I played the drums, and then ninth grade, I'm like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Out exactly, Isaac.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
Did your love of weird al lead you to the
accordion or no, unbelievable?

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Did you play an intrude?

Speaker 8 (20:47):
Though I said, oh, I was a jock. Actually the
true story. When I was in high school, I was
already announcing. So I was announcing for all of our
teams in high school.

Speaker 2 (20:56):
But you played sports too.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
I played sports before that.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Jack, mister microphone and the bleachers doesn't count.

Speaker 8 (21:03):
Well, No, no, no, I I well, that was different, a
different connotation. I was actually wearing a protective cup as
I was doing this. My high school was famous for
contributions to the performing arts. Will Ferrell Saturday Night Live
went to my high school, Universityhigh School and Irvine and
also Nassim pedrod Well also later was on Saturday Night Live.

(21:26):
Was was a classmate of They.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
Always had that the Three comedy the three comedic genus
Isaac Lowe.

Speaker 8 (21:31):
Cops will for different for different reasons.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
That's cool, man, mother, thanks for sharing the story.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Look what you started.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I know you know what. I have a question I
want to talk about. It has to do with foul balls.
But I do want to say, if you're a baseball
fan like we are, my Met's already won today tonight,
it's gonna be a great game. I know it's July
baseball and you might roll your eyes dog days of summer.
But Bassett versus Free tonight Yankees at Blue Jays. I
know we still have two months baseball, but that's a

(22:01):
big matchup because the Yankees are trying to call back
into the AL East lead.

Speaker 2 (22:05):
And they'll be making moves soon. Like, yeah, every game counts, but.

Speaker 8 (22:07):
You gonna be able to watch that. It's gonna be
on Prime. Though I got Prime. I don't know if
he does. He's a cheap skate.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Cavino is the guy that will watch a show he
likes and then cancel it. You'll give him his password though,
I'm sure never. But it does look like a good
matchup tonight. So Freed, Max Freed, Chris Bassett, both pitchers
with double digit wins.

Speaker 2 (22:27):
It's gonna be a good one. So if you're a
baseball than good man, they're good. They're the real deal.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
All right, Well, let me tell you about a baseball
story real quick, and then we'll get to football and
some other stuff. But I'm at my first Mets game
with my kids, and it was so cool to see
how interested they were.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
We got great see first game at City Field.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
At Cityfield, and by the way, my family, the street
continues if you care at all. We are now oh
and six at Mets games, oh and six as a family.
My kids are like, did they ever win that? I'm like, yeah, yeah,
just when we're not here. So if you want, you
could go to at Rich Davis. I posted a little

(23:09):
video of my kids and our first trip to City Field,
which was awesome. I love Cityfield.

Speaker 2 (23:14):
One of the best ballparks in all baseball. I think
it's top five.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Now, you know, when an inning's over, let's say ground
ball to Shore lindor to Alonso, third out. Then you
know your first basement might toss the ball to the
second baseman, who then might toss it to the third
base when a shorts up and as they're going to
the first base dugout, they'll do a toss into the
crowd of that ball. Now, my wife must have been

(23:41):
getting a hot dog or franchise with my kid or something.
So she's walking down the staircase to our seat, and
she had that feeling that you described the other day
at the home run derby, where the ball is coming
right at you and.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
You see it in the air.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
You maturely in the ball and everything else fades away.
It's getting bigger and bigger, as it's my seeing the
laces turn real fast in the night sky. My wife
reaches up her hand and she's like, the ball is
gonna come to me. I feel, oh my god, this
is crazy. As the ball is about to hit my
wife's fingertip, she says she as she feels the ball

(24:19):
about like touching her fingertips. Multiple grown men around her,
knock her hat off her head, my son falls out
of her arms, and my wife gets body checked by
like four grown ups. And I had to explain to
my wife that well as and for the record, Rich's
wife is a good looking woman, Like what kind of

(24:40):
gombergers are knocking over a beautiful lady?

Speaker 2 (24:42):
She's not like built like a how.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
You would think that they would have given her like
the beautiful woman courtesy.

Speaker 5 (24:50):
Of Like, oh, what do I say?

Speaker 3 (24:51):
IM?

Speaker 2 (24:51):
I'll let my wife know you don't think she's a
brick house.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
She's mighty maty. Suddenly she's the third bushwhacker. So that's
how you guys, we're all pushing each other around.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
I had to explain to my wife because she was
like not disgusted, but she's like how embarrassing? And I go, yeah, maybe,
but at a ballpark it's weird. Is it safe to
say that? Like there are no rules and people become savages.
That's loser, savage behave. I'm sorry, it's always women and children, right,
if your boat is going down and if the fall

(25:24):
foul ball is coming away.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
As much as I want to found ball.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
I think I'm not going to jump be the jo
that jumps in front of a little kid or a
woman to steal.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
That and like like physically context.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
If it's thrown to me, I might want to keep
it and not give it away because I never got well,
but I'm not gonna you know, check body check a
little kid or a woman for that moment.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
It's just a loser. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:50):
The dude that hid into my excuse the dude that
hit into my wife the hardest was a guy double
my size. The guy looked like Ray Lewis in a metstress.
That's embarrassing, six five, big dude. And he ends up
scrambled around picking up the ball. In fact, I had
my hand on it. I tried to I ran to
where it was. He picks up this ball and the

(26:12):
girl he was on a date with, you know how
kids you'll love to use the term ick. My wife said.
His date looked disgusted by him because it's like just
throw men, yea off, a woman, a child. My son
was all like, I wanted that ball and it just
just remember it's a free for all. But if you're

(26:34):
on a date, you could look like a complete clown
to the woman you're with. And I think catching the
ball is the fun of it. Once you catch the ball,
give it to a kid fighting for a found ball.
Your thoughts on this. I don't think there's any excuses.
I don't think it's a free for all. You gotta
have some etiquette and well, yeah, exactly right. Well let's
go to Isaac for an update. Isaac Loewan Crown Isaac.

Speaker 8 (26:57):
From Foul Balls to Home Run Balls Show. Oh hey,
Otani homered in his fifth consecutive game today for the Dodgers.
They remain tied with the Minnesota Twins one to one
top of the seventh OTGA Dodger Stadium. Otani now leads
the National League with thirty seven to two, behind Seattle's
Cal Rawley for the major league lead.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Covino and Rich Rich, I get it. He's the knogging
boss of the show.

Speaker 5 (27:23):
And oh no, rich head, Rich's wife look out.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Actually I did a parody of that years ago. It
was it was.

Speaker 1 (27:32):
Oh no, lights out, Rich's head knocked the ball out?

Speaker 2 (27:38):
True move Rich, your heads in the way. Rich is
so whack. I'm for real, something's wrong. He can't stand still.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
It was a whole thing anyway, Covino and Rich live
from the Fox Sports Radio studio and his time for
our tire Raq Play of the day that special, it
looked like Danny g pulled a clip from both of
our teams. First, the Yankees won a close one versus
the Jay's first pitch to Rice swung on a high
fly ball, Dick right simp give it up but and

(28:08):
his burger.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
That game is a five four lead for the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Is Ben Rice turns one around and then the Mets
pull out a close one against the Angels yesterday and
again today.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Want an o to Nemo?

Speaker 6 (28:21):
The pitch swing on a line of torts left center
over comes a downy won't canter. That's a pay set
comes Mo ratio around third. He's score standing with a
go ahead run on at first with an RBI single
as Brendan Nemo the mixer leading by a store.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Of three to two.

Speaker 2 (28:37):
Thanks how he rose? Yeah whatever Nemo's week ass single.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Ben Rice's bomb dude he teed off on that. That's
courtesy of the Yankees Radio Network and the Mets Radio
Network And those were our Tireraq Plays of the Day.

let's take two quick phone calls and then we move
on to Mike swords Wisdom, midwek Major A lot coming up?

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Say how to Doug in Ohio? Doug, what's up? What's up? Doug?

Speaker 1 (29:15):
With? Hey?

Speaker 9 (29:16):
Hey, guys, Rich, I feel sorry for your family, always
seen the Mets lose, But I wondering if you wanted
to break that Rich family Mets curse, would you be
willing to take the family there and cheer for the
other team.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
That might be what it takes.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
You know, my son is five and for some reason,
he's like he thinks the coolest player other than Polar Bear,
Peede and Lindor. He likes Tattist Junior Tattis. So, I
don't know, Maybe maybe you go to a Mets Padres game,
try to break the break the curse.

Speaker 2 (29:48):
I don't know. We'll see, but yeah, oh and six
is a family not good?

Speaker 5 (29:52):
Uh?

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Trey in Mississippi? What's up? Brother? Hey?

Speaker 1 (29:55):
Man?

Speaker 7 (29:56):
This is for rich mostly, but I kind of want
to ask you guys a quick question after Noah Cindegard
did a bit with Joe from in Practical Jokers about
stealing balls from people. You need to check that out
on YouTube.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Absolutely, I love those guys.

Speaker 1 (30:08):
I love Cyndergarden and Joe and those guys are great.
I've seen that. It's fantastic.

Speaker 7 (30:13):
Okay, well, I wanted to ask all this. You know,
from Mississippi. We normally tell on to whatever professional teams
are close by, whatever. But you guys are boust from
New York?

Speaker 3 (30:23):
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah? I'm from New Jersey. We worked in New York.

Speaker 10 (30:26):
Yeah, okay, so.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I think you could have got the question in.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
I don't think you know, I don't think so. We're
just from I think you doubted Trey. Well, hold on, Trey,
we're going you totally doubted him. Well, we're gonna find
out the mysterious question Trey wants.

Speaker 2 (30:41):
To know you're from New York. Aren't showing up? C FSR.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
We got Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom in just a
few minutes. If you could repeat Mike's Wednesday words of
wisdom because he's a man with lots of wisdom, and
when we say that, we mean lots of grain his beard.
If you could repeat his words verbatim, you win one
of our final swiggies, just in time for summertime. Well,

(31:09):
before we do all that, our stainless steel water bottle.
By the way, Trey is still on standby. Maybe you
had a hard hitting question we couldn't fit in last hour. Yeah,
just for you, Trey, what's up, my friend?

Speaker 7 (31:20):
I mean, that's nice for you guys to keep me on.
I was gonna say, being from the New York, can
y'all help me understand the five Burroughs in terms of
who's more Yankees who's more Mets Jets? John, I'm just confused.

Speaker 1 (31:33):
Great question, Great question. I would say this is by
there's no real rhyme or reason. However, when you talk
about who roots for who, there are a lot of
Mets Jets, and for some reason Yankees giants that those
usually clustered together.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
Well, you mean the winners and the losers, I mean,
be honest. Yeah, in a way.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
Well, even when we worked at s n Y, it
was Jets and all things New York sports, so they
even share sort of a network network. But it really
is that back in the day rhyme. Back in the day,
I don't think rhyming has anything. A rhyme and a reason,
but no reason. The rhyme is the Mets and Jets

(32:17):
and the Nets. The reason is you root for Losers. Well,
I think Queens, if you know the Five Boroughs, Queens
is sort of on the way to Long Island, right,
so you talk about Queens is closer Flushing Queens is
closer to Long Island. So if you grew up on
Long Islands, there's a decent chance you may lean Mets Jersey.

(32:37):
It's a flip of a coin, and Jersey's like, you know,
across the river. But I say there's more Yankees fans
in Jersey though, and you can tell them by the
Guido Jersey mentality of the twenty seven Rings, the ooh,
the Jersey short type of guy does lean Yankees a
little more. I think I think you're gonna go like

(32:57):
Long Island Queens that direct east Mets Jersey and like
City the Bronx, Yanks, Jets, people with terrible taste, giants,
people that like to win every you know, ten years
with a goon quarterback. But Nicks, I mean, everyone loves

(33:18):
the Knicks. I don't know any real Nets fans and
any other thoughts Islanders, Long Islands Rangers. I feel like
I feel like you you nailed it. I feel like
you confused it a little bit for other people listening.
But is there part you covered it?

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Is there a stronghold of Phillies fans in Jersey? South Jersey?

Speaker 1 (33:34):
There's a point in South Jersey like once you get
beyond like where Snooky in the situation hung out. Once
you get beyond a certain point in South Jersey, then
you start hitting people that associate more with Philly than
New York, which is a whole separate conversation.

Speaker 2 (33:48):
Right in there. I've experienced all that.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
Yeah you don't. They're pumping their fists and they might
have a Bryce Harper Jersey on melting use melt. But
you know, to bring it full circle out here in
La is there if you're down the down the coast
enough maybe.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
Angels, But I don't really know many Angels fans.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
Right, I mean growing up when I was a little
kid here in southern California, it was a lot of Raiders, Dodgers,
Lakers fans. Yeah, you can see those three logos together
on one sticker.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh yeah, I know more Mexican dudes out here in
La named Angel than I know Angels fans. True story,
it's true story, no Angel, Yeah, it's true and rich.
Before we get into the words of wisdom, Yeah, speaking
of baseball and speaking, I wanted to talk about going
back to an old job because it seems to be
like an underlying theme if you pay attention to what's

(34:36):
going on with Dame Lillard, the talks of Lebron like
it could be the fitting ending if he goes back
to Cleveland, or is that week because Dame beat him
to the punch?

Speaker 2 (34:46):
Has the other speculation there?

Speaker 3 (34:47):
And then the school was that video really quick of
Dame walking back into the locker room all emotional.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
I mean, it's the.

Speaker 1 (34:55):
Storybook ending, you know, the what's the word I'm thinking
of the term I'm thinking of bookends. Book You bookend
your career where you started. It's nice, you know, we
see that a lot. Dinny Griffy did that.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
For a second.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
I forgot for a second he did. Yeah, I'm trying
to think who else did that? Who else comes to mind?
You know, they went back just for the retirement purposes.
Of calling it. Tino came back to the Yankees, even
though I still think of him as a Mariner in
a lot of ways, he did come back to the Yanks.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
It would be like if Lebron went back to Cleveland
to end his career.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, but that's the story, right, So going back to
an old job, an old X is.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
It worth it?

Speaker 1 (35:37):
Is there a reason you left? Do you want to
say you're goodbyes? There's another story today that sort of
ties into it, where forty five year old pitcher Rich
Hill comes back to the Major League.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
It's not like.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
He's coming back to an old team, but he is
returning back to the Bigs, and it's his fourteenth team.
So if you look at his stats, who if you
look at his Baseball Reference or his Baseball Card, fourteen teams,
which ties the most most teams played for in his

(36:12):
twenty first season. And then I had to look it
up Rich. I'm like, well, who the hell played for
more than fourteen teams? And Rich and I had the
same stupid thought, like Kenny Lofton, like Ricky Anderson, Yeah, like.

Speaker 2 (36:22):
Who played long?

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Rickea ten and bounced around And apparently it's Edwin Jackson.
Right handed pitcher from twenty three to twenty nineteen played
for fourteen teams, and before Jackson set the record, Octavio
Dotel held it with appearances for thirteen different teams between
ninety nine and twenty thirteen, according to Chad Gpt. But

(36:48):
based on that, how do you feel about going back
to an old job? I like, you never say never,
and that's why you never burn bridges because there's only
so many opportunities in life when it comes to women.

Speaker 2 (36:59):
Like we've heard stories where it works out great.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
I think a lot of times with women and sports
two of my favorite things. Yeah, I think that second
time around, it's gonna be hard to top the first time,
unless maybe you dated when you were young and it
didn't work out, and then you guys found love again
and it's like you remember a lot of dating experts
call that the pet cemetery theory, where you go back,

(37:22):
but you know it's not the same, it's not the
same person.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
I can't and he'll remember.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
You start to remember why all the problems were there
in the beginning while you left in the first place.
I can't tell you one athlete that returned to a
team and was better the second time around. Usually it's
like a beautiful farewell where it's like, hey, they're back,
but they're not what they were.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
Remember Tom Seaver came back.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
To the Mets for a second when we were little kids,
Like please, people come back to a team for a
second cup of coffee, as they say, right, Yeah, it's
kind of cool because I mean you see a lot
of players that leave and come back. I mean even
managers leave and come back as they have history with
that team. The old Billy Martin sort of theory. How

(38:04):
many times did he leave and come back, like at
least three or four with the Yankees going back to
an old job.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
What was your experience? Is this something you recommend?

Speaker 1 (38:14):
I think, like I said, there's so few opportunities maybe
in your career. Even though the world's a bigger or
smaller place now, you could leave cities if you want.
But that's why you never burn bridges. Yet people still
always do for whatever reason. Came back to the radio station.
I know this is a very la inside one, but
you may have heard of the radio show because they're
pretty famous back in the day. Kevin em Bean didn't

(38:36):
Kevin of Kevin Emban is any like doing a show
on k Rock again by himself. There he's doing afternoons. Yeah,
he's back. So it's one of this nostalgic reasons. Right,
there's a built in fan base, there's familiarity, there's there's
a lot of pros and cons.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
Do the pros that way? The cons is the question.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Now, I work in Fox Sports Radio is technically under
the iHeart umbrella, But I worked at a pop station
in New York Z one hundred when I was a younger.
I think it would be weird to go back there.
But I feel like a lot of times people do
end up, like you said, at the same company. So
you never burn those bridges, like Cavino said, But Rich Hill,
how many teams?

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Fourteen different teams? But he's being called up.

Speaker 1 (39:16):
The story is he's being called up by the Red
Sox to be the starting pitcher tonight. If I'm not
mistaken again for his fourteenth different team. So returning back
to the bigs on the Mount tonight, all right, I
gotta do this because when we talk about this stuff. Yeah,
I'm gonna put Isaac Lowancron on the spot because he's
a man of knowledge. You want to play a quick
round on the road again. I'm gonna name a baseball player.

(39:38):
Oh jeez, see if you can name all the teams.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
They played for?

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Okay, all right, in no particular order, but if you
can name it consecutively, that's that's impressive.

Speaker 2 (39:48):
Do I get to phone a friend? All right? I'll
give you one.

Speaker 8 (39:51):
Oh, you know what, how about old Haas Radbourne from
the eighteen ninety three Cleveland Spiders of the players.

Speaker 1 (39:57):
That's not who I was thinking of. But I'll give
you one. Hall of Famer hit a bird once? Oh,
Randy Johnson. Randy Johnson, Give me Randy Johnson.

Speaker 8 (40:06):
We're gonna go Montreal, Okay, Seattle, Houston Astros, Yes, Arizona
diamond Back, New York Yankees, and I'm stuck after that.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
He played one. I'll give you. I'll give you a hint.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Oh Giants, the Giants.

Speaker 2 (40:31):
Nice man, That is crazy. You got that on the
road again.

Speaker 1 (40:37):
But no one's been on the road again more than
rich Hill, who tied the record today. Oh geez, can
I give you a tricky one? Since you're so good
at this, Isaac, I'll give you one more and then
we'll do Mike's Words of wisdom. Yeah, one of my
favorite sluggers. I remember getting his upper deck and stadium
club cards. Cavino was a griffy guy. I was a
Frank Thomas guy, Frank Thomas, the big heart.

Speaker 2 (40:57):
Gosh.

Speaker 8 (40:57):
All I remember is the White Sox, but I don't.
I don't remember him playing for anybody else. I really don't,
And I throw out was he on huh? Was he
on the Orioles for a second? No, that's really fun.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
He he was a Blue Jay. Wasn't he a blue one?

Speaker 9 (41:13):
More?

Speaker 2 (41:14):
He had a cup of coffee with uh not a
cup of coffee? A full season right American League team?
Oh Oakland?

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Yes, yeah, right, I barely remember that. The n G
good one and that's how you play on the road again.
But again, the grand champion besides Lowan Crown is this
guy Rich hill Man Man like props to him. What's
that game that we all loved like two years ago?
It was like a little grid? Was it the baseball grid?

Speaker 2 (41:41):
I forget the name of it. Yeah, I remember that
little It was a viral game for a minute.

Speaker 8 (41:45):
Well they still do that, like on Baseball Reference dot com.

Speaker 1 (41:47):
But there's also people that still play words of friends too.
I say, I mean some people just don't get over things.
My girlfriend still crushes candy everyone. There's people that are
doing sudoku. But no, there was that baseball grid game
that everyone loved. Immaculate Grid, Immaculate Grid. And you know,
but Rich Hill, I never thought to use him in
a bind. Yeah, I mean the guy fourteen teams, he's
forty five years old. He starts for the Red Sox tonight.

(42:07):
But it does make you think.

Speaker 2 (42:08):
It adds to.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
The the common theme and storyline of returning to the
old job. He's back on the mound and Dame Lillard
back to the trail Blazers, Lebron back to Cleveland. Maybe rumors, speculation,
you know, is that a good move or not? If anything,
I'd say it signifies most of the time, in the

(42:30):
beginning of the end, if not the end.

Speaker 6 (42:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
The crazy part about Rich Hill started in five Think
of how the world has changed, social media, smartphones, the
way we communicate.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
You and I officially started our show off.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
Rich Hill has been around for over twenty baseball season.
So hey, congratulations, good luck, buddy boy. All right, it's
time to give away a swiggy. If you could name, well,
not if you can name if you could repeat the
words of wisdom from Big Mike.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
He does this every week. Sam, cue the music.

Speaker 5 (43:04):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mic does not run this place.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 5 (43:16):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (43:19):
You know, you notice how everyone other than us loves
to remind everyone that Mike doesn't run. I know, but
if you came here and witnessed what we witnessed, you
would swear he runs the place.

Speaker 2 (43:30):
We started here, and I was like, does he run? iHeart?
I thought he was a prominent of my heart.

Speaker 3 (43:34):
Man tiny office for a guy who runs, iHeart. I
just thought he was a man of the people. He
sent you, guys a memo your first week on the job.
Remember I run this place.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
He's always yelling at people.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
All right, Well, he gives us words of wisdom. You
repeat it verbatim, win a prize. It's that simple. Take
it away Big Mike, who sort of runs his place.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
When one door opens and then another door opens, you
are probably in prison.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
If you could repeat it word for word. No mistakes.
You get one of our last swiggies. It's our stainless
steel water bottle, coveted prize Midnight Black and look, it's
perfect for the kids that are going back to school,
because we all know kids love to leave these in
the cafeteria at the ballpark. Water bottles are hard to
come by, and this one's a nice one.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Mike sounded like. Mike sounded like he really knew what
he was talking about.

Speaker 1 (44:31):
Then, I know, eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Mike probably has some stories of the Big House, probably
was locked up with Nasty Night at one point eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

record for fourteen different teams today, this guy, I'll give

there's no way I'm gonna get all seven eights.

Speaker 2 (45:17):
No way, you might your gout.

Speaker 1 (45:18):
I feel like you're gonna be good at a slugger,
a guy who probably practices batting stance when you were
playing whiffle ball.

Speaker 2 (45:28):
Is he the nephew of Daryl Strawberry, Gary.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Sheffield, No, he's the nephew of Dwight Good and Dwight
Good and not Darryl. I knew he was an eighty
six met He was a brewer, brewer, Jerry Sheffield was
a brewer, andre and a Dodger. Yeah, got that easy.
He broke the record. I mean he got his five
hundred home run with the Mets. Metsis yeah, in no
particular order. He was a Yankee, Yes, you need three more,

(45:55):
You're you're getting there.

Speaker 2 (45:57):
He was a Tiger. He was a tiger.

Speaker 1 (45:58):
God, Wow, this is a tough one. Gary Sheffield, Florida Marlin. Yes, yeah,
maybe the last one. I don't remember at all, to
be honest, of these, I seven stuck out this eighth one.
I'm like, really, wow, So he got seven of the
eight and give us the ones we got. You got
the brewers, you got the Padres, you got the Marlins,

(46:20):

the Tigers, and you got the Metri missing one for chef.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
And I'll be honest, he played two. I got it.
I think Dodgers he said, we said that already. Ah well,
I was right.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
He was an All Star for this team. He played
there in two and three before he went to the Yankees.
It's a tough one, man. I'm trying to picture the
way you win this game. You just try to picture
them in the uniform.

Speaker 2 (46:48):
Now you give us a hand.

Speaker 8 (46:50):
Yeah, nationally, Oh that narrows the National League East, not
the oh Nationally East.

Speaker 2 (46:58):
I know you can't picture it. I can't either.

Speaker 1 (47:00):
The Braves, Wow, two years All Star one of those years.
I also do not picture Gary Sheffield.

Speaker 2 (47:10):
That's a good one. Rich And you know one of those.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
Years he had thirty nine home runs one hundred and
thirty two Ribbies And get this, that is three point thirty.

Speaker 10 (49:03):
Throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the

Speaker 5 (49:08):
Say, that's som We definite repeat to see it our
score Midweek Major Remix.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
If I go fast, we can give Spotty a full
nine minutes. It's like two minutes more than he's used
to all right, uh, before we get things of it
to the number one and only host of this segment,
we are rolling the two big red love dice at
the main studio eight.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Cove's got the eight.

Speaker 3 (49:34):
Oh dude. Last week we all picked the number eight. Remember,
all right, roll off. This is to see who gets
the first take. I got a four. Four should be
able to beat that. Rich dang a trade aches All right?
That that means Rich gets to go first. And now,
ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom

(49:57):
from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, spotty Boy.

Speaker 2 (50:00):
Hi guys, Hi spot how are you?

Speaker 11 (50:01):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (50:02):
Mister buzzcut Hey, how's it going? Let me put my
glasses off. This spy secretly film you spy who filmed me?
All right, I'll kick off with a story that's been
on our minds. We've been talking about a lot, so
lots about pouring up sympathy after the passing of Ozzy
Osbourne yesterday, while Braves legend Chipper Jones chimed in as well,
saying that he and Ozzie will be forever linked by

(50:22):
his song Crazy Train. If you don't know, Jones used
Crazy Train as his walk up song during most of
his career, even sharing a funny story rich between him
and Mike Piazza, who during one played appearance, said that
Piazza said that he hated the song so much, and
Jones went back to him, get ready to hear it
about five more times, so he just remember sharing that
little fun moment between them. Lots of sports other sports organizations,

(50:45):
of course, jumping in as well, including the Patriots, who
used Crazy Train as their intro to Patriots games for
the about twenty years.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
So midweek Er, Major Dude, all the board, all the board.

Speaker 1 (50:55):
I mean, if you go to a sporting event, there's
a good chance I Osbourne, Black Sabbath will play, So
I think it's I think it's major. Chipper Jones just
one of many that used an Ozzy Osbourne or Sabbath
song as a as a walk up, as a crowd favorite.
It was there were stadium anthems. Man, it really a
major story because there's a lot of people like I

(51:18):
don't know that many Ozzy songs.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
Yes, you do.

Speaker 1 (51:19):
If you've been to a ballgame where stadium before you
heard them, or you've hear heard songs that were clearly
influenced by Ozzy Osbourne, remember it.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
They created mental music.

Speaker 1 (51:29):
So if you hear a c DC you or any
band that has stadium anthems, it's because of guys like
Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. So we have to pay
homage to him in the world of sports. And I
find it odd that Mike Piazza didn't like that song. No,
because he's such a rock fan. You missed the story,
then I didn't understand what I miss because that means
it signified Chipper Jones getting up.

Speaker 2 (51:51):
I think he just hated the song.

Speaker 1 (51:53):
That's what I have you missed the story pompous dufus,
because no, yeah, I'm pretty sure. Mike Piazza, I don't
know if you got well, Mike a big rock fan. Yeah,
that's why I'm finally interesting. I think he hated Crazy
Drink because it just meant Chipper Jones was getting more
at that. It made him maybe not like the song.
But I am still I'm still surprised to hear that because.

Speaker 11 (52:16):
This is what Chipper said. He said, hey, Mike, how's
it going? And then Piazza said, I'm doing fine, Larry,
but I hate this effing song.

Speaker 1 (52:23):
Larry, Wow, I give Chippers some profits, you know, playing,
I will say, a fun game to play with Ozzy
and Black Sabbath. We did this with Tailor Swift a
while back, where people are like, don't know if I
know many Tailor Swift songs, and you probably know way
more than you do. It goes the same with Ozzy Osbourne.
You may say, well, I'm not really a rock guy.
If you go through Ozzie's catalog, you'd be like, oh

(52:44):
my god, that's another Ozzie song that's not five or
six strictly based on longevity. Yeah, but like spot. You're
not much like me. You're not a big rock guy.
You probably know five to table Yeah, probably good?

Speaker 2 (52:56):
Yeah right.

Speaker 11 (52:58):
And a new interview with Busting with the Boys, former
player turned broadcaster Greg Olson addressed his feelings about getting
pushed out for Tom Brady in the main Fox broadcasting lineup.
So he said, while he's admitted in the past that
quote resentment felt not far off. He explained that he
has zero animosity towards Brady. He said he doesn't just
sit there saying I hope they're broadcast sin stinks. He

(53:20):
acknowledged it's independent from his personal aspirations of wanting to
be at the highest level possible. Calling the Super Bowl.
He says he wants to continue to elevate his career,
but he and Brady can both simultaneously achieve what they're
going for. So no animosity. Midweeker major.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
You know, I think it's major because I sort of
thought that in my mind. I did picture Greg Olson
when he wasn't having a tie raptor around this head
party at a wedding like a crazy man.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
I love Greg Golson.

Speaker 1 (53:50):
I assumed he's probably like, God, damn Tom Brady, Like, well,
you know what, you could coexist and both be great.
But I know what he's saying. As long as Tom
Brady exists, he will have the number one game. And
if you're a Gully Golson that strives for greatness, you
want to make it to the Super Bowl as a broadcaster, and.

Speaker 2 (54:06):
As long as he's on Fox, he won't do that.
As long as Tom Brady's alive. Sucks. Yeah, that does suck.
It's true.

Speaker 1 (54:15):
Tom Brady a thorn in his broadcasting side. It's a
major story. It is because I think out how big
it was, how much we defended Greg Golson saying, hey man,
he deserved it, and a lot of people still think that.
But Tom Brady's working hard at his craft. It's just
good to hear his side of the story and how
he truly feels about it.

Speaker 11 (54:34):
All Right, some Little League drama going on in New Jersey.
I don't know if you saw this. And No, Covino
doesn't have to do with your twenty seven Little league
home runs records your record. This does have to do
with the Little League co run So twelve year old
Marco Rocco was suspended from playing in the state tournament
final game.

Speaker 5 (54:52):
Marco Rocco.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
Right becalls me Rocco Marco.

Speaker 11 (54:57):
The most two Jersey Italian name ever after he did
a huge bat flip following a home run in his
last game, so the flip earned him an injection from
that game on top of his suspension. The hadden Field
Little Leager, who was playing against Harris and Little League
at the time in a twelve U game, is fighting
for eligibility, with his family filing an emergency temporary restraining

(55:17):
order trying to get the suspension overturned. He said that
umpires sighted the bat flip as a safety concern, and
the Little League International told the family that the child
broke a rule. His father said, this kid played Little
League's entire life, has always wanted to be in the
World Series. The Division game is true or the twelve
year Division game is Tomorrow's disgusting. This is the hold

(55:37):
on with the final decision coming down to the wire.
The judge will make a decision by one point thirty tomorrow,
so it's still up in the air.

Speaker 2 (55:44):
Midweek er major. This is major, and I'll tell you
why it's major.

Speaker 1 (55:48):
It's disgusting that you would suspend the kid and eject
him for celebrating in the moment at the biggest stage
where a little kid and what do they emulate the superstars?
And bat flips are a part of what makes baseball exciting.

Speaker 2 (56:03):
We want the showmanship. I'll be honest.

Speaker 1 (56:05):
A great bat flip is a big part of Major
League Baseball. These kids are just imitating their heroes. This
is disgusting that they would suspend this kid. Maybe give
him a warning, like, hey, so down, buddy, He's twelve,
his career is over.

Speaker 2 (56:17):
Now you teach you going to be flipping pizzas you
teach your kids to work hard. He does. Marco Rocco,
he goes pizza. You want regular? I used to flip pets.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
No, I'm flipping pizza ptso Marco Rocco. Everything Rich said,
Major said. They're just trying to be like the big leaguers.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
That's it. It's as simple as that. That's what they see.
I'm a piece of each piece of each Sicilian one regular.

Speaker 11 (56:47):
Some drama kicking up probably has no basis, but former
NBA player Jeff t discussing the best eerror of Lebron
James and according to Tigue, Lebron was forced to sit
out after the NBA began to sing for HGH over
a decade ago, alleging that while on the heat, Lebron
was on steroids and the reason that he had to
sit out was because when they were doing the testing,

(57:09):
he's apparently Lebron said that his back hurt and sat
out for three weeks and came back skinny and apparently
was like, you know, all out of it, so Tegue
said when he was in the league at the time.
The DA has said that Lebron had no part in
any performance enhancing drugs, and fans are even calling out
Tiagu's allegations as false, saying that you don't do something
like this. So we'll see if anything comes of it

(57:30):
midweek or major some of the weak sauce.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Okay, were you gonna.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Believe the DEA or the retired athlete that they might
have a bone to pick well, Lebron James.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
This depends on who you ask.

Speaker 1 (57:40):
I think it's a mid story because it's not impossible
to think that a league would protect their superstar athletes.
You don't think the NBA protected Jordan at one point.

Speaker 2 (57:50):
I think they did, and.

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Again that's his conspiracy and speculation, but it's not impossible.
I mean, Lebron has done some pretty incredible things. He's
a pretty rich and muscular dude. It's not impossible. Just
no one wants to believe that in the NBA. Definitely
doesn't want people to think that, I mean anything and
everything is post simpable.

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Yeah, that's true. I mean it's true that I learned
that from Barney Stintson once.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Right, But definitely a mid story because I have seen
that story on social media, so it's a it's a
growing viral story.

Speaker 11 (58:20):
Yeah, more exciting lebron story is him wrapping in front
of Jeff Bezos and Jeff Bezos recording him.

Speaker 2 (58:27):
That's the more exciting part. That's good.

Speaker 11 (58:30):
Or you want one more more quick reason. Do you
want to hear about Fat Joe?

Speaker 2 (58:34):
Sure?

Speaker 1 (58:35):
The curse of Fat Joe curs, of course. Yeah, so
performs for the Yankees Kamala Harris.

Speaker 11 (58:40):
Well, we may have berlangaa, we may have the source
of the curse. And that may be because so the
Rapper revealed on his Joe and Jada podcast that he
hosts with Jadakiss that he still drinks at least thirty
to forty diet pepsis a day, thirty to forty diepezzes
to day. He said he developed the habit back in
twenty thirteen when he was spending four months in jail

(59:01):
for tax evasion. Said it was the only thing that
he was able to obtain behind bars, and the habit
stuck and apparently has no plans to stop. So maybe
the source of the Yankees losing the World Series thypepsy
maybe were major damn.

Speaker 1 (59:14):
I think he needs to give up the sodis. Yeah,
I mean, I know it's a diet, but I mean,
like that's a bit like day. That's how many I
drink in six months? Right, there's water in those. That's
the saggeration a day thirty. What do the math on that?
That can't be good for a lot of carbonation. Maybe
he's actually waste gedier than you think. Maybe it's just
all carbonator. I have a question, hold on how many

(59:37):
hours is a human awake usual, Let's say sixteen hours? Yeah,
so this guy's averaging essentially like two sodas an hour. Hiculous.
And they're caffeinated, aren't they? Yeah, they're SODA's an hour.
Those guys doing like the power hour with this is absurd.
Gross be better than that, but major, Yeah, don't be gross.

Speaker 2 (59:53):
Like that. Joe, all right, okay, now he's just gross. Joe,
all right, thank you. That's you're convinced that the guy
fell on purpose into the lake.

Speaker 11 (01:00:04):
Yeah, if you look at the alternate angle, I looked
at it ESPN Post, he doesn't he like it almost
looks like an aggressive stepped off.

Speaker 2 (01:00:12):
Stone when past people.

Speaker 1 (01:00:14):
I know someone for fact, ready for fact, I'm not
going to say who, and don't if you have an idea,
but one of my girlfriends hot friends, they're all sitting
around like a hot tub.

Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
She decides to fall off the hot tub. I've seen this.

Speaker 1 (01:00:28):
That's for an act, bro, just to go viral. Hey,
guess what, I'm hot sitting on a hot tub? Like,
why are you filming that? To begin with? Girls do
film hot tub?

Speaker 2 (01:00:41):
But do you know what I mean?

Speaker 4 (01:00:42):
Like you capture these sort of like things and you're like,
why were you rolling in the first place?

Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
All a big.

Speaker 1 (01:00:47):
Act for the GRAM. They want to go viral, they
want people to talk. They think it's cute. And guess what.
It worked for the Browns. We've said it, but it worked.
The guy's talking about it. I simply do hate, though,
that we live in a world now where you have
to fake. You have to assume fake until proven, like, no,
it's real exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:01:06):
It really is sucking, Like I feel like you have
to assume fake.

Speaker 1 (01:01:10):
I feel like once a week now there's a story
where someone's like, hey, you guys, got god. I think
I hate that feeling of like people are just trying
to constantly bamboozle you for clicks and likes.

Speaker 2 (01:01:22):
I mean that's where we live in man. Yeah, that's it. Well,
oh sorry it was ai guys, My bad. I don't
like it. We talked about it like a week ago.

Speaker 1 (01:01:32):
So I remember at Wimbledon everyone was falling in love
with this the hot new reporter, and it turns out
she wasn't even real. All her pictures from Wimbledon were fake.
She was a hot blonde girl they made up out
of thin air. Doesn't exist, so gross. Watch the video
when you get a chance. They unveiled the all brown uniform.

(01:01:53):
The browns are rocking a brown helmet, jerseys, and pants.
Like I said, it looks like the uh mister Hanky
Christmas uniform. They're just all brown. And there's a photographer
that falls in a lake. And if you watch a
video from all the angles now the thought is was
it a social media setup?

Speaker 2 (01:02:12):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:02:13):
Well you make the call. So thank you guys for
hanging out with us. We appreciate it all the feedback
at Covino and rich our interview with Zach Brown, country
star who's headlining the Sphere in Vegas in December. You
know they just added more shows because they sold that immediately.

Speaker 2 (01:02:30):
Yeah, well, guess what.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
We talked to him about his new album and everything
that's on. Over promised Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. Definitely
catch that and we'll talk about him maybe tomorrow or
on our bonus pot. Over promised the times you saw
a big star at a small venue. All right, well perfect,
we'll see you guys later on until then, Rima, there
you baby, see you in the promise. Then goodbye, guys,
