Speaker 3 (00:16):
Day on the iHeartRadio app by searching FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
My thought is I rather see history than see my
team lose ten to one. Like, at least you're seeing
something like yeah, no one wants to see other team
get beat.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
But if you're gonna get beat, witness.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Something cool, right, Like if your team's gonna lose, do
you want the other team to win on errors?

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Or do you want to see a slugger hit a
five hundred foot home run game?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Why would you ever root for the other team, regardless
of history, accolades? Who cares about the other team? I
think it's like ingrained instincts from when you played sports.
If you're getting no hit or you're losing, you want
your team to come back. Always, I don't care about
the other team. You're not supposed to care at all
about the other team.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I know. But what I'm saying is, but I do
like your spin today. I'm a fan.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Of history, so usually usually I'd say, yo, do I
rather be on hand the Dodger Stadium to say a
one hitter or a no hitter?

Speaker 3 (01:11):
The answer is no hitter?

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Right.

Speaker 3 (01:12):
If you're watching your team impolily.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Think you're the minority here. No one wants to see
their team get hit, regardless of history. It's history for
the other team, it's not history for you.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
But in this case, I think when your team is struggling,
the Mets have lost eight of nine, they're the most
streaky team in.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Baseball, like the Mets.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
If you've noticed, they'll rip off seven of eight, and
then they'll lose seven of eight.

Speaker 3 (01:32):
Then they'll rip off seven of eight. It's how this
team looks.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
And you just got to hope, if you're a fan
of a team like the Mets, that they make it
to the postseason and then they get hot in that moment.
But my thought was put the Mets aside. Who cares
about my team? When your team is struggling, sometimes I
feel like hitting rock bottom is necessary to make a move,
make an adjustment, have that player's only meeting. That may

(01:56):
be meaningless, but at least you're trying to me, Soto
hitting the home run runs hitting rock bottom eminem style.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
It's a good song rock Bottom, yea, because you can
only move up from there. So I do understand what
you're getting at because in life that also is the case.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Sometimes I know it's one inning, it's one game, But
in football, we always talk about that team that gets
stuck at nine and eight and eight and nine, and
they just they're not bad enough.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
But they're not good enough.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I'm saying right now, sometimes getting your ass whooped is
not a bad thing.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
What's up, debate?

Speaker 5 (02:34):
I got a question for you guys. Just in this scenario,
so Soto hits the home run on a one to
zero count, there probably weren't enough pitches to sense the
crowd like where they're at. So if the crowd is
on their feet and you're Jan Soto, do you think
they're cheering for the no hitter or do you think
they're cheering for him? And vice versa, Like if you're

(02:55):
Gavin Williams, are you thinking that the fans know that
it's history or do you think that they're against you?
Like because I would probably maybe because I'm a class
half empty sort of guy. In both situations, I would
think it's the opposite. So if I'm Williams, I'm thinking
the Mets fans want them to home. Or if I'm Soto,
I'm thinking, why are they cheering for Gavin Williams to
get the no no?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
I think they are.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's in City Field, right, it's a home game for
the Mets. The people that are standing are all rooting
for Soho to break up the no hitter, every one
of them except for Rich.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
That's why I find out hot.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I do, but I do like the spin of Sometimes
in life and in sports, if you're dead last and
rock bottom, you can't go any further down. That is
when you're forced to make the change and move your
way up.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
I do understand that. I'm not saying that away from
them today.

Speaker 1 (03:49):
I'm not saying fireman Dozo or bench Soto. I'm just
saying sometimes rock bottom feels a lot better than man.
We're just still sucking. Like in a relationship, if you
keep having mild fights, I feel like that relationship, you'll
stay with the wrong person. But if she's like I,
heye you and she packs a bagging goo stays with

(04:10):
her parents for a week.

Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah, but you shouldn't have to hit up bottom to
make that change. Let's say you have a problem or
wait issue. It doesn't have to be, you know, anything
that serious, but you have an issue you have to
wait till. Like if you have a rash on your ass,
you have to wait until you're bleeding before you take
care of it. You have you talked, you hit rock bottom,
you do to make that change.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I think that's a mistake. I'm not saying it's not.
But look around you. If you think most people don't
wait until the rash bleeds. If you don't think most
people wait until I don't know, they have a heart
attack or something serious. You don't have to to you're homeless,
to your bankrupt. The thing is that is what people do.
I know it's not to mean you have to do that.

(04:54):
I know it's not a laughing matter. But all the
things you just spoke up, everything from homelessness to drug
problem to weight problems to everything, most people do wait
until some stuff goes real wrong and they're like, oh,
gotta change it.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
It's not that they wait, rich is that there's nowhere
else to go. As Richard Gear said, I've got nowhere
else to go.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
It's it's really it's just a matter of default.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's your only option, or you know, you jump off
a bridge. Unfortunately, it's like where else do you go?

Speaker 3 (05:23):
When are our video guy? Spot? Let me pull you
in the mix. Spot.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Spot's the type of guy that flexes at the gym spots,
the type of guy that like shows off his legs himself.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
Yeah, he calls himself the man with bulletproof leg It's true.
But and he parades and kicks them through the hallway.
Spot before you were this, uh, this stallion of a man.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
You are today?

Speaker 6 (05:48):
Such a stallion?

Speaker 3 (05:49):
What jump started all this?

Speaker 4 (05:52):
H having a heart issue, having to have surgery because
I ignored my health.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
For the w wasn't it losing breath in Vegas? Uh?

Speaker 4 (06:01):
It was a hike, right, Yeah, on a hike. No,
it was on a hike and I could barely It
was like, it wasn't even that that intensive a hike
and I could barely breathe.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, he lost his breath at a spearmitt Rhino Cavino Vegas.
Is that what we were calling you, duncan chic? Yeah,
they took my breath away. I was barely breathing. So
but no, I mean and now.

Speaker 6 (06:18):
Look at him.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Spot needed to have quinn tuple bypass Do you hear
me now? Quintuple bypass surgery? To go from a guy
that didn't care about his health to the guy that
cares the most in the room about his health.

Speaker 3 (06:30):
Okay, so ask him.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Do you think he, looking back, wish he would have
made a change sooner? Or do you think, oh, going
rock Bottom is the only way he could have got here.
I think going to the doctor and them saying, uh,
Christian Spot, you're gonna need surgery was.

Speaker 4 (06:48):
The eye opener. I think rock Yeah. I think rock
Bottom really hammered home the point.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
Hmm.

Speaker 4 (06:54):
If I didn't have that that level of motivation, I
wouldn't have stuck with it.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Again, Cavino relates chips like I said, serious stuff, drug issues,
drinking issues. A lot of times police need to be involved.
A lot of times there need to be there needs
to be, unfortunately, interventions, an escalation to the point where
it's like I'm not dealing with her anymore, or a
woman who's with a really bad guy. Sometimes it has

(07:18):
to get to a level where it's like, now you
have to leave him. He's so bad, look what he did,
or something so he's a threat to your life.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, essentially, something's threatening your life, essentially, And keep this
in mind.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I did say I like Rich's spin on it today
because what Soto did by breaking up the no hitter
took away that feeling and sense of urgency that they're
hitting rock bottom and they need to really step it up.

Speaker 3 (07:41):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
If the Mets are trying to fight for the division
and assert themselves in the National League, if they've lost
eight of nine and the last one was no hit
at home.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
That to me is a kick in the nuts.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Okay, stone run sort of softened that blow to the
point where it's like, now it's like, oh they lost again, Bob,
but they to hit a home run.

Speaker 2 (08:01):
I still subscribe to you never root for your team
to get no hit, But I like the spin on
it because it forces them to move forward. But based
on that theory, let's say it's your child that's struggling.
Do you root for them to hit rock bottom in
order to make that change?

Speaker 3 (08:16):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
Like not rock bottom if it affects their like, their life,
their safety.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
But I'm saying if.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
I mean, let's say your daughter was dating a guy
that's a bad guy, and you're like, yeah, he's I
don't want this guy in her life.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
He stinks. You would almost be like if she caught him.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Cheating red handed, or like she got away unscathed, you
would root for that.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
You're rooting for the reality check. That's really Yeah, that's
what we're getting at.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Okay, So your thoughts do you ever based on Rich's
thought here about hitting rock Bottom? That might be a
different way of looking at it, But do you ever
root for your team to get no hit? Is this
the best solution for your team to make that change.
I'm watching your Yankees right now. They have a three
two lead in the eighth.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, gold Schmidt hit a home run and they're five.

Speaker 2 (09:04):
They've lost five in a row, and it's an absolute
nightmarenger struggling. If the Rangers fly the way over the
next they have five outs left, one out in the eighth,
five more chances if the Rangers somehow walk this off.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Is Aaron Boone gone?

Speaker 2 (09:20):
I don't know if he's gone, but I think you
do something with Devin Williams. You got a bench, a
few people. You gotta do something to shake it up,
because there's definitely panic and and something going on behind
closed doors with this team. It's I've never seen anything
like it, to be honest, Well.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Your thoughts at Covene on Rich eight, seven, seven, nine
nine on Fox. You let me turn the phones on.
Get the phone's going most interactive show, shouldn't they.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
I wasn't watching the Mets game, but.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Shouldn't have Williams pitched around Soto in that situation.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
That's a ninth ending, one out. He's been dealing. He's
been dealing. But if anyone's gonna break up the no no.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
Pizza up next, the Alonzo's hotter than soda. I mean,
Sodo has been cold lately, so I mean you.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Got to pitch someone.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
No, you don't have confidence, you don't have confidence in
your stuff. You're nine innings d but you're in one
hundred and ten pitches.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
I mean, come on, Gavin Williams again, props to him,
went nine innings with one out.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
Wan Soto breaks up the no hitter with a bomb,
but he still lose.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Afful question for you, if you're a pitcher, I guess
the answer might be simple. But if you're a mid
level Gavin Williams, like you know you're in the big
league so clearly you're one of the best, but not
a household name.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I mean he's seven to four, he's having a solid see. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
But what I'm saying is, if Wan Soto is a
guy that broke up your no hitter, do you hate
Wan Soto forever?

Speaker 3 (10:44):
I mean, you don't love him anymore.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
No, But I'm saying, if you're a guy that made
it to the big leagues and you're a good picture
but not he not an All Star, I'm not a
Hall of Famer, a guy that you know, but Wan
SODA's the guy that took away.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
You're one moment of glory.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Is that we're talking about the alt make competitors to
take things this far. So here's what I know for fact,
they never forget it. Oh yeah, that that's a mental
note that stays with them for the rest.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Of their life.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
So in any key at Batton Soto's up, this guy's
gonna be like I hope he strikes out. Yeah, absolutely, yeah, OK,
without a doubt eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
and of course always available at Covino and Rich at
Fox Sports Radio on social media.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
So let's be interactive.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Let's let's start on long Island, Brian, you're on a
Cavino and rich. Just the idea work, good man, Just
the idea of hitting rock bottom at a job, a
relationship sports where I think sometimes you do have to
be in a terrible load desperation mode to actually make
a change, and I think Soto took that away from
the Mets by hitting a Hall run. I almost feel
like the Mets should have been no hit today.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
We often talked about the Cowboys and Steelers and teams
like that who are always like good enough where you
really don't have to do anything drastic, right, So that's
what we're getting at, right.

Speaker 7 (11:56):
So comment on the Mets here, Yeah, I think so
he sold the time for change from the Mets too.
In my opinion, they needed they need a new hitting
coach at the very least. They've been in a huge
slump here lately and Yankeys awful need to change it.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
Yeah, By the way, too much talent on that Mets
roster to just be having one of the lowest batting averages, Like,
there's too much, too many good bats.

Speaker 2 (12:19):
So I don't want the obvious to be lost in
this conversation either though. It's it's a cool conversation, and
I love your spin, Rich, but it's like, how about Hey,
I'm happy he wants Soto broke up the no hitter
he hit his twenty sixth home run, Like, how is
that not part of the thought process here? Hey, man,
at least he broke it up and they didn't get
no hit. Want Soto hit his twenty sixth.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yeah, it's like a b's like a band aid.

Speaker 2 (12:45):
Yeah, Rich is saying, Hey, he's uh looking at it
from a different perspective.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Right, what else do we got? Let's go to Bruno.
What's up, Bruno? What's up? What's Bruno?

Speaker 8 (12:55):
What's up? Brothers? I love it. Hey, listen, you know
I would never want to see my team get hit.
To think about this, and it happens all the time,
and your football team is tripping along, you're not making
any wins, and all you're doing is you're jonsen for
that for that draft pick, and they pick up those
extra two three wins at the end of the year

(13:15):
and they end up losing that draft pick. The Giants
had number one. I'm not a Giants unfortunately the jetsam.
But they had number one last year and they won
that stupid game. And it dropped them back.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I know.

Speaker 8 (13:24):
Yeah, you're root for your team to lose.

Speaker 1 (13:25):
For sure, there are times where losing is actually winning,
and I think that in this case, I'm a I'm
a firm believer that the Mets are struggling and it's
being if you're an East coast guy.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
We're on the West coast.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
But both baseball fans of New York teams, the Yankee
stinking has disguised how the Mets are stinking too. I
really think that the Yankees are just stinking in a
different way.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Rich.

Speaker 9 (13:50):
How do you know, though, if you were no hit
that that would be rock bottom. That could send some
teams into more of a spiral.

Speaker 3 (13:57):
Danny, that's a good point. You're right. It's like, you know,
you're right.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
If someone gets caught doing some dumb stuff, they could
either improve themselves or that's like you're right, that starts
even the worst spiral.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
Yeah, and I even think that the no hitter it
may seem like it's rock bottom, but it also could
be a fluke thing.

Speaker 3 (14:13):
Like where good teams don't hit you. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (14:14):
Yeah, Like so that's just you know, it just happens,
and maybe you don't necessarily realize it that. I mean,
you know that you're going through it, but the no
hitter maybe it would magnify it. But maybe you would
just think, oh, that's just an off chance sort of
thing happening.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I get what Danny's saying too in great point dB,
Dan Bayer and Danny g It's like, all right, let's
say let's say you have a boozing issue right right,
you're boozing, yeah, and you get into a fender bender.
You're thinking, well, he survived, He's okay, thank God. Maybe
this is a wake up call and he straightens up

(14:47):
after this?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Are you telling the story of Gordon Bombay my favorite
hockey coach?

Speaker 2 (14:52):
But like Danny g insinuated, it could also just add
to the downward spiral, like look what he did well?
You don't know that it's automatically the opportunity to turn
things around.

Speaker 3 (15:04):
It's always on that person or that team.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
You're making good points as well, So we'll leave it
to you at Covin on Rich eight, seven, seven, nine
nine on Fox. Do you feel like your team, you know,
family members, coworkers. Do you feel like sometimes rock bottom
is needed to make a real change? And I think
that I'll say one last time, I We'll move on
Juan Soto. You would think I'd say, oh, he broke
up the no hit or with a solo home run.

(15:29):
I was sort of aggravated. I wanted the Mets to
get no hit to prove a point, like, Yo, you
better step it up, you bums. Come on like you
got no hit. You've lost eight of nine. The no
hit again, I feel like is a kicking the nuts?
What where the solo home run? Now?

Speaker 3 (15:42):
The box scores four to one? You lost? You know,
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
I think you've done a great job explaining it. Like
I feel what you're saying. I don't necessarily agree with
what you're saying, but I do, like I love him
spin on it, and I'm just shocked. I was shocked,
guys that Rich was mad that the Mets broke up
the no hitter. So your thoughts, what's up?

Speaker 3 (16:01):
Sam? Your feedback is welcome. What's up?

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Sam?

Speaker 10 (16:04):
You know you've hit rock bottom in college football when
your team has been shut out three times in a
season and you hadn't been shut out in twenty three years.
And that happened to the ioahak Gyes in twenty twenty
three they were shut out three times to the three
best opponents shut out zero points. And so that's humiliating
for the fans, that's humiliating for the players. And when

(16:25):
it happens three times in a season, it hadn't happened
since the year two thousand, that's a wake up call.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Zero point zero, all right, that's a decent point, Sam too,
because like we already established, how do you know if
that's rock bottom? Maybe it could get worse. You don't
even know yet. The Bicoastal Covino and Rich show later
today giving away prizes if you could repeat verbatim Mike's
Wednesday words of Wisdom. You know Mike that runs this place.

(16:52):
He's the man, Mike who runs this place. I missed Mike.
I haven't seen him, but words of wisdom. Ah, we
talk about him all the time. And we also got
Midweek Major the biggest stories in the world of sports
and pop culture. We're gonna break it down. Are they
Midweek or Major? But Rich before we talk style and

(17:13):
Schottenheimer and Colin Cowherd and everything else.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
Do you believe in miracles?

Speaker 6 (17:18):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (17:18):
I know it's one of your favorite songs. You six
a thing.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
Do I believe in miracles, like you believe in mirrors,
Like like a guy could lift up a car, you know,
was adrenaline phone or like like like real miracles.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
It was always the Granny story that picked up a
car to save someone's life. Yeah, like I mean miracles. Yeah,
why not? Of course I do.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
Sure, well, I like to I'd like to think so right,
to make sure it's nice to believe things like that.
There was a two part doozy in the news today
and it involves one of your heroes. So I just
want to throw it out there in case the Fox
Sports Radio nation hasn't seen it. Your boy, the Hulkster,
our childhood hero, Hulk Holgan was laid to rest and
his daughter was a no show at the funeral. So

(18:01):
the story was she didn't show up because he said
he never wanted one, so she.

Speaker 3 (18:07):
Means she would know it's his daughter. So I mean
if anyone would know, right.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
But you know who did show up the Hulkster cloud
that was running wild in the sky and running wild
on you. I know you're thinking the Hulk Holgan Hulkster Cloud.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
You gotta see well.

Speaker 4 (18:27):
Post it on our Instagram in the air above the funeral.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
And there's the Hulkster flexen above the funeral. Dude, it's
the wildest thing.

Speaker 4 (18:38):
It's it's come on, bro, it's too much of a girl.

Speaker 3 (18:42):

our guy spot will be posting that momentarily if he
wants to, Like it's a miracle man.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
It's pretty cool. It is pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (19:11):
I mean usually when people are like, look at the cloud,
don't you see blank? I like, it's a cloud, But
honestly it it does look like the hulks are flexing
in the sky. It's wild. What are the chances before
Rangers got to run around base in the bottom of
the knife.

Speaker 3 (19:27):
On a full count? Come on and plodean if.

Speaker 4 (19:31):
They implode, rich, then I just got to take a
page out of the Dickey Davis Book of Fandom. Raw

You don't need a refound. It's crazy. I just saw
the cloud right now. That's that's like God goofing with
us the Hulkster Cloud.

Speaker 6 (19:57):
Brother?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Did you see the side by side like they've shown
you the hulkster flexing and the cloud and it's like, it's.

Speaker 3 (20:04):
Ah, what do you believe in more?

Speaker 1 (20:07):
The hulkster Cloud or the alien that was caught on
the ring doorbell in Compton both.

Speaker 5 (20:13):
Or the the big mac that looks like Steve Harvey?
Have you seen that one?

Speaker 3 (20:20):
You?

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Isn't it?

Speaker 3 (20:23):
AI's complete? Wait a minute, I squitched my eyes. It's
a Steve Harvey Berger.

Speaker 5 (20:30):
I can't find any pictures in my photo album on
my phone except that one always stands out like I
saved that Steve Harvey Hamburger look alike.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
That's great, that's hilarious. All right.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
You know what I want to get into this because
Colin Cowherd. We we love Colin. He's always been cool
with us. In fact, Colin believes very much in what
we do. Different from him, but Colin's a pal.

Speaker 11 (21:00):
Colin.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
He's a radio tycoon. He's a legend in the game
for sure, stars Stars.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Colin Cowherd has always had just a hilarious problem with
grown men wearing their hat backwards, especially quarterbacks, coaches, people
that are supposed to be in some type of alpha
authoritative position.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
This has always been a cow leaders men, grown ups, adults,
men lead.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Oh man, dude, hit for the Texas Rangers. It's first
and second, bottom of the ninth.

Speaker 4 (21:34):
Let's go one out, two outs, two outs, Okay, and
Garcia's up.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
I can't watch it makes me sick to my stomach. Dude,
I'm serious, I can't watch it anymore.

Speaker 5 (21:44):
Let's go to dB for a quick update. Yeah, let
me just quick wrap this up. Then you guys can
get into the cow Herd Schottenheimer stuff. It is three
two Yankees, ninth inning, Aaron Boone on his way to
the mound. Dodgers did the Cardinals three to one in
the fifth Right now show, Hey o. Tani struck out
eight and four innings. Also, just thirty ninth home run
of the season for LA.

Speaker 3 (22:03):
Got some MVP stuff right there.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Absolutely, jeez, Ohtani is legend a Right here we go okay,
one one. I know I can't do play by play,
but keeping an eye on this Ranger Yankees game.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Let's talk about this cow herd thing.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
Well, no, it's also very cool that we are even
talking football. As we established, it's a preseason weekend. It
starts tomorrow. My birthday weekend starts tomorrow. So I'm excited.

Speaker 7 (22:31):
Man.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
We got baseball, we got football, we got my birthday,
and you.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Already said it.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Colin the best in the game, but has one of
his pet peeves, and he's made it very clear he
hates when quarterbacks, coaches, anyone wears a backwards hat because
it makes you look like a like a man boy.
You gain no respect that way. However, Kenny Griffy Junior
had no problem with it. Fred Durst had no problem with.

Speaker 1 (22:58):
It now and had a problem not only with a hat,
Schottenheimer with the backwards visor.

Speaker 3 (23:05):
Take a listen.

Speaker 11 (23:06):
You know I don't like backward hats. What's worse as
a backward visor. That's a two win team. I'm taking
away four wins. So when you sit in front of
a podium, you're representing the Cowboys, You're representing a twelve
billion dollar corporation. I think you got to do better
as a head coach, and I have Advisor.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
Backwards Brian schottenheimervisor backwards, which, by the way is a
weak ass look. But man Colin had a problem with it,
and he's got to love the fact that today at
Dallas Cowboys camp, this is how Brian Schottenheimer started his
little meeting with the media.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
Oh sorry, Colin, let me turn my hat around.

Speaker 2 (23:50):
You know, wesor alone backwards forwards whatever is a stupid look.

Speaker 3 (23:56):
No, it should come with fake hair and only face.
Who wears Advisor?

Speaker 4 (24:01):
Seriously, I don't think I've got SEC coaches? Yeah I
was SEC. That's it, like like visor companies during business.

Speaker 9 (24:08):
Just for that, it's very I want to say, it's
very Dennis Allen.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Okay, do you have any friends that rock advisor? Kirby
Smart loves the advisor Again.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
Know if your buddy rolled up in a visor, smack
that thing off his head.

Speaker 3 (24:23):
Your Yankees one strikeout there you go. Thank goodness, man,
you gotta win eat rocks bottom involved.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
But a visors are very interesting, You're right about that,
very interesting in that who wears a visor? And it's
a very particular type of person to begin with right,
usually a college coach or something or something fis players
or some Sean.

Speaker 9 (24:43):
Payton, some golfers do or Malibu's most wanted, like fifty
five year.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
Old guys in Florida maybe like like middle aged guys
in Florida might wear a visor.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
It's a weird choice.

Speaker 10 (24:56):
Matt Maggi would wear a visor, in which I didn't
understand because he was bald. So like, if you're out
in the sun, you just be getting torched. The the
visor helps keep the sun out of your eyes and
maybe you wanted your hair to get a little light.

Speaker 5 (25:06):
Didn't Vistavianna weare advisor as well. During the Donald sterling
it was.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
That enormous, that enormous, Oh dealers at a casino.

Speaker 9 (25:17):
Well, sometimes she wore avisor it was that big, So
forget about the visor.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Clearly the visor in the hat. Cow Herd's got a problem.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
So we ask you, let's open up, let's have some
fun on a random covino on Rich Wednesday. What are
those style pet peeves of yours? Like, what is the
what is your backwards hat? What is your visor? What
annoys the hell out of you?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
Well, if you're new to the Cavino and Rich Experience
the world famous cn R. For years, we fought the
Battle of Crocs. We lost the war, but we fought
battle after battle after battle, and at this point you
just surrender.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
I don't wear him. I've always hated him.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
But it looks like the kids are rolling with it,
their pajama pants, their tank tops, their broccoli heads.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I get it. It's easy kids put them on and
off sport mode. It's a thing.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
It's not my thing, but I've moved on from that
because I lost the war and my biggest pet peeve. Lately,
I feel bad saying it because there's a lot of
culprits here at Fox Sports Radio, and some of them
I love. But when these younger dudes wear like clogs,
like man clogs, like these Birkenstock man clogs, I'm like,

(26:31):
what do you, little Dutch boy with your socks? You talk,
Steve Shaye, Who's do you wear clogs?

Speaker 3 (26:39):
As a man that looks like a man different generation?

Speaker 2 (26:45):
And look, dude, that look is for the birds, That's
what I say. Like, I think Shade's one of the
coolest guys, and I see clogs and I'm like, I
have to second guess this.

Speaker 10 (26:54):
We wearing birkenstocks in the nineties though, Yeah, but sandals
like the dude.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Like the dude, I just does that garner respect?

Speaker 2 (27:02):
Like if your boss, that's the thing, right, It's like,
there's a few things you'll never see a man of
authority do.

Speaker 3 (27:07):
You'll never see him running because he's late.

Speaker 2 (27:09):
Because he's the guy in charge. You never see him
running down the hallway because he's the guy.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
You're never gonna see your.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Boss like wearing a little schoolboy backpack because he's the boss.
And you're never gonna see him where clogs to the
office because he's in charge and commanding respect.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I'm gonna give you one of my pet peeves. I'll
give you, you know, Big Mike, who runs his place.
He's getting his words of wisdom ready. You know what
his was her curs staring. When someone wears blue jeans
and flip flops, and I agree with him, that's a
that's a terrible lookplop.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
That's a funny one.

Speaker 11 (27:43):
You know.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
Flip flops with shorts or swim trunks, yes, but with jeans. No,
you gotta wear clothes, toe.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Shoes with jeans. It's a weak ass.

Speaker 10 (27:51):
Look what about like tivas with socks, you know, socks
underneath my My Spanish teacher used to wear it.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
Like that weakest o bueno.

Speaker 9 (28:01):
Our teenagers wear dirty white shoes and it bugs me
because they're thinking is and I have no idea why
they think this is cool. But the more worn out
they look, the better they look.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Ye, it's a thing, especially with air Force ones, like
they'll rock like beat up white air Force ones that
look like they've been through concerts and mud, and they'll
wear them down. They're all increased and bubbly. I don't
know why that's a thing.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
But there's the overpresced shoe store that you might see
at the mall, Golden Goose, I believe, and they sell
like eight hundred dollars sneakers that look like they've been
through a music festival. I hate that you played baseball
in a dusty park all day.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Like they stole them from a hobo. I don't understand
how that's a thing.

Speaker 2 (28:48):
And again based on Colin's Colin's problem, Let's say I
was gonna say something else. Colin's problem with Brian schottenhammer
Heimer and the backwards hat and the backwards visor, what
is your style?

Speaker 3 (29:01):
Pet Peeve.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Mental note Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday in for Dan Patrick.
Right now we're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio
and it's time for our tyreq play the day after
missing five weeks, five week that left knee injury, Max
Monsey is back.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Unsey swims. HiT's a drive right center field. That's Pap back,
that is gone. He's done it again.

Speaker 12 (29:27):
Two home runs on the night for Monday and the
Dodgers wait at four to two.

Speaker 1 (29:32):
Man the Dodgers pound the Cards, took it to Poundtown
twelve to six. That's courtesy of AM five seventy Dodgers
Audio Network.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
And that was the tyreck play of the day.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Okay, So next hour Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom, giving
away prizes, Midweek Major going over all the headlines with
Spotty Yea, and now we're going to your phone calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. It's very
clear that Colin Cowherd hates people with backward hats, advisors
Shottenheimer's style.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
But what's your style? Pet Peeve?

Speaker 2 (30:04):
I mentioned mine the whole like young people with their clogs,
like young men with clogs, and I get it. It's
a generational thing. I understand that there's young dudes out
there slaying it in their clogs.

Speaker 10 (30:15):
I love calling them clogs like they're Dutch wooden clogs.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Dutch boys. I can't imagine wearing those things. Yeah, I
just can't.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
I got a I got a few stylistic things that
bother the hell out of me.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
But you know, let's go to your feedback first.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
And by the way, we thought of this because Colin,
we know, hates the backwards advisor. Is so funny that
Brian Schottenheimer starts today's press conference addressing Colin.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
Oh sorry, Colin, let me turn my hat around.

Speaker 1 (30:45):
Gets the nervous chuckle from the press. Colin's gotta love that. Right.
Let's go to your phone calls, Mitch. Actually, let's start
with Thomas at Washington State. What's up, Thomas?

Speaker 12 (30:58):
Hey, how's it going? Guys?

Speaker 13 (30:59):
Love you show you guys make.

Speaker 12 (31:01):
Me laugh all day.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
I love it, thanks man.

Speaker 12 (31:04):
Yeah, So, my my two. So I'm fifty four years old.

Speaker 13 (31:07):
So what I pet peeves me is when you a
guy in his fifties wearing those jean shorts that are
halfway down right below his knee, but they're not pants
and they're not shorts.

Speaker 12 (31:19):
That just bugged me.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Unless unlet's listen, unless you're John Cena. Yeah, John c
Unless you're John Cena, you should not be wearing geen shorts.
And that's a middle aged man. They look ridiculous on him.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
Shorts. Yep, John, Let's go to John in Minnesota. What's up? John?

Speaker 6 (31:35):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Rich and Cavino, Yep, can someone explain me what clogs are?

Speaker 1 (31:41):
No, I think you're right when you say clogs. I'm
thinking wooden choose. Camino's talking more like these, like the Birkenstocks,
like birkenstocks, but in the shape of a crock. And yeah,
they're clogs, They're just not made of wood. I think
everyone thinks wooden clogs. I think they're feet.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
Yeah, no splinters. West Virginia, Jerry, you're on.

Speaker 12 (32:07):
Hey, thanks guys for taking the call.

Speaker 3 (32:09):
No problem.

Speaker 12 (32:10):
The most landlocked state you can imagine in West Virginia,
and these people in this state go to Myrtle Beach
for one day or the year. They go to Ocean
City for five days in all day.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Oh no, yeah, he was so mad man.

Speaker 6 (32:27):
He left us with a cliffhanger.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
When you see someone with a completely out of style,
big pleated pants, baggy nineteen ninety like there at the
nineteen ninety something NBA draft, Like, dude, come on, get
a new suit.

Speaker 5 (32:43):
You're not Carmelo. You're more the exception to that rule.
I would say there's more people with non fitting suits
than the ones who will go to the nines to
make sure that their suit fits.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Maybe you're right, and Dan Bayer, you're a guy that
every day you come in here handsome and clean cut.

Speaker 3 (32:59):
Right, you got the nice clean shave. No, what bothers
me when you go to an event? You see?

Speaker 6 (33:03):
You know what bothers me about you? Dan? So when
you can walk in here.

Speaker 1 (33:05):
No, I I think you're a guy that you see
I keep this stubble beard. When someone has a gross
neck beard for an event like a wedding, you're a
kid's communion. You know.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
You go after a nice.

Speaker 6 (33:19):
Like what I can get. Yeah, I agree with that.

Speaker 9 (33:21):
You've got to line your beard up every other day
if you have a beard like.

Speaker 10 (33:26):
Gys been describing me the last ten minutes. But I
was bad suit, bad neck beard.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
You know what Maybe this is? Maybe did he see
that I labeled this? I was saying intervention on my
face at Bsh's wedding. I looked like the biggest shlub
and I thought I looked good. And I look at pictures,
I'm like, guy, I look off. Do you have a
picture of you at Bursh's wedding?

Speaker 6 (33:42):
Yes? I do.

Speaker 1 (33:42):
Can you text it to me onestly if it's worthy
putting on our Instagram?

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Yeah, I'm back. I agree with you with the overside
suits thing. It's like you're wearing your dad's suit to
the interview. It's such a weird look.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
That not not a good one at all. But the
neck beard. Let's let's say, how to Holliss in Tennessee. Hollis,
you're cavin on rich? What's that, buddy?

Speaker 12 (34:04):
What's going on?

Speaker 8 (34:05):
What's up in man?

Speaker 6 (34:07):
I'm I'm sitting here and and I hear it.

Speaker 12 (34:11):
Call and talking about uh, you know.

Speaker 13 (34:14):
Sean Payton and baw Knicks like they the best things
and slice bread.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
I mean, we talked about that yesterday, So you must
be calling from a time machine.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
But yes, we did talk about bone Nicks yesterday.

Speaker 8 (34:26):
Yeah, yeah, did No.

Speaker 12 (34:27):
No, I know, I'm catching up, you know what I'm saying.
I've been doing a couple of things.

Speaker 8 (34:31):
But crash, Come on, no.

Speaker 3 (34:35):
Trash.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
All right, well let's insert that on yesterday's pod. All right,
let's say how to Josh.

Speaker 6 (34:44):
What's that?

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Josh?

Speaker 14 (34:44):
Hey, Josh, Hey boys, I got I got three for you. Uh,
that kind of annoyed me. The backwards hat is fine.
What annoyed to me is when someone has a hat
that's like way too big for their heads, like three
so just too big for their head.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
You know those are called knocking boss. No, no, not.

Speaker 14 (35:07):
When girls wear these baggy jeans from like the nineteen nineties.
Mm hmm, and I'm gonna go with crocs, worst worst fashion, Josh.

Speaker 3 (35:19):
Those are not bad ones.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
You know what I will say, I am sort of
used to a hot girl wearing those baggy what they
call them, like mom jeans. At first, I'm like, what's it?
The baggy high waisted like I felt it so unflattering.
But you know, you get used to it and you're like, yeah,
that's the style.

Speaker 3 (35:35):
What do you do?

Speaker 1 (35:35):
You want your wife or girlfriend to be out of style?
But I could see guys saying they're not very form fitting,
that stylish.

Speaker 3 (35:42):
It's good. All right, Well hey, let's uh, let's get your.

Speaker 5 (35:46):
Feet back, you know, A pet peeve of mine is
when guys go out to the East Coast into a
show and their connections crap out on them. You no, no, no,
it totally gets under my skin.

Speaker 6 (35:58):
I'll tell you it just is. You know, we could
be sitting here listening to big Mic.

Speaker 5 (36:03):
There was you know, words of wisdom, you know, instead
and instead we're hearing underwater.

Speaker 10 (36:09):
You know, hosts at the bad driving take pickles on
the fries and can I can I just say something?

Speaker 3 (36:17):
This suit? This the suit things? We had another collar,
like I get a crocs?

Speaker 6 (36:21):
Are you know you know I get that. Heck, we
had our bed about crocs. Rich can rock crocs.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
Which I think all of us are jealous that that
he can actually can actually pull it off. There is
the difference of understanding the moment and then like like
the trying too hard right, Like there's there's I think
that there's a balance with some of that and so
like if you're wearing like the big hat, like the
guy said, like totally get that, Just wear a hat

(36:50):
that fits.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
I was saying you too hot on yourself. I think
you looked really good. Wait you saw those already. I
think you are wearing a like a nice fitted shirt.
Your pants are like a straight leg cut.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
You look good? How are you those that just went through?
How'd that get that? How that get to your technology?

Speaker 11 (37:04):
Sam?

Speaker 10 (37:04):
You're in the next room. So I take my clothes
to dry cleaner. I don't even try to iron good,
so you know at least something's matching there. But I
just I look back at this and like, my pants
are all wrinkly, and I like, had him dry cleaned.

Speaker 6 (37:14):
I look like a schlo You have a picture that's
not with Moncy. I mean, I mean it's.

Speaker 10 (37:18):
Just me and Monty and it's me Bersh and Moncy
and it's me dancing like Donald Trump.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
I love this. That's amazing.

Speaker 10 (37:25):
So you think I look I passed it test. I
think I think I think you passed the tank. You're
also a skinnier guy, so you're always gonna look better.

Speaker 6 (37:31):
In a suite.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
You know.

Speaker 6 (37:32):
I have a little I have a gut, so it's
a little hard to pull off.

Speaker 4 (37:35):
Right.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
Well, Hey, your thoughts at Covin on Rich.

Speaker 6 (37:37):
I think Samono looks good. I actually I do agree
with Rich.

Speaker 3 (37:41):
Champagne tie and pants, scon that looks good.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
Works, it works. Thank you guys.

Speaker 1 (37:45):
Boosted my morale. We do this every Wednesday. We're gonna
get to spots midwek major, so don't you worry. But
before we get to midweek Major, we're gonna give away
a prize. There's a guy that runs this place. His
name is Big Mike. Big Mike comes in here every
day when we first started. The reason we say he
runs his place is because he walks around like a
man in charge, and he has words.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
He's a stylish guy too.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I mean, that's debatable, Cay. Mike is Mike's a great guy,
and he drops words of wisdom. And if you could
repeat this verbatim, you will win a Kavino Witch prize
from Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (38:21):
Let's do this. Mike's words of wisdom.

Speaker 15 (38:25):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

Speaker 6 (38:31):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 3 (38:37):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom.

Speaker 15 (38:40):
On a Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (38:46):
Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you're
stupid and you make bad decisions. Oh that's some big
stuff right there.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
Sort of hard too, I saw something similar online where
it was like, I'm not mean, you're just dumb.

Speaker 1 (39:07):
So along those lines, is right, So repeat Mike's words
of wisdom and you win a prize from Covino on
Rich and Fox Sports Radio the number eight seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox. Now, Cavino, if you need
a little pick me up today, I'm sorry to tell you.

(39:27):
George Kittle and the NFL and everyone will tell you
no more smelling salts. So there's gonna be a I
wonder if this is going to affect the NFL. I
wanted to bring this up because when you heard George
Kittle talking about this, I wasn't sure if it was
a joker. Now, you know, Kittle's probably one of the
funnier dudes in the NFL. I didn't know that there
was a very serious nature to his response.

Speaker 3 (39:49):
Here, take a listen. I honestly just came up here
to Eric Grievance.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Our team had a memo today that's smelling salts and
ammonia packets were made.

Speaker 6 (39:55):
Illegal in the NFL. Wow, And I've been distraught all day.

Speaker 3 (39:59):
Illegal.

Speaker 8 (39:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
He even said he's not practicing anymore.

Speaker 6 (40:02):
I considered retirement.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Yeah, you got to figure middle ground here.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
Guys helped me out.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
Somebody come up with a good idea. Grievances.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
Yeah, that's all I had to get out there.

Speaker 4 (40:15):
It is it every before, every every drive, I'm an every.

Speaker 3 (40:21):
Drive in between, every place.

Speaker 4 (40:26):
Yeah, it feels like the energy is still out here though,
I definitely yea.

Speaker 3 (40:29):
But I miss those already.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
I mean I at first, I'm like, see joking or not?
In every drive, guy, some guys get fired up.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Listen.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
Kittle sounds like you know, he sounds like sounds like
a college girl who got their cocaine taken away.

Speaker 3 (40:43):
It's I've never tried it. Have you tried it ever?
Smelling salts?

Speaker 1 (40:47):
No, But if you watched Receiver, George Kittle was part
of that series. They don't show it on the show,
but you could tell that before the game, like Kittle
does look like he gets these little quick bumps of
getting fired up. I'm when I say bump, I don't
mean cocaine. I'm saying it feels like Kittle is the
type of god that's like, WHOA, let's go. It's like

(41:09):
that extra boost when you need it. Yeah, and he
thrive thrives off of that. But little kids see these
pros and they want to reenact it. Monkey see Monkey
do and.

Speaker 2 (41:19):
Apparently masks some serious concussion injuries.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
Do you think that's the reason though, I mean, you've
seen people in the fight world get knocked out and
then you know they wake up with the smelling salts.
So you've seen it on TV shows, You've seen it
on You've seen in the sports world. I just I
personally have never tried smelling salts, and I've seen a
challenge on social media. Have you seen like a regular
person try a smelling salts that have never done it?

Speaker 5 (41:44):
I have not, but I this just sounds absurd. But
remember the NFL did their helmet thing when they would
only allow you to have one helmet because they felt
that it would cause more concussions if you changed it. Yeah,
well now they're like, okay, well the data didn't really
show that, so everybody can wear different helmets and now
they can make money off of it. Like if you

(42:06):
if they could make money off of this, I'm almost
thinking like they would have had the official ammonia inhalent
of the NFL, right, you know, like there's a there's
there's a way that you could do it. But I
think that's the the overall point of it. It's just
the image of it. The the optics is the phrase
that I was looking at. They don't want to be
if it does mask concussion symptoms, the whole deal. If

(42:28):
it does or doesn't. One case said that it did.
I think they're afraid of the optics of it.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
That's they just have a rule where they do it
in a blue tent, or they do it they can
out of the cup.

Speaker 1 (42:40):
They might do it in the locker room. Nobody would know.
I know you're saying the optics. Let's say it's like
a downtrodden looking George Kittle. Then all of a sudden
he comes out and he's.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Like, whoo.

Speaker 7 (42:52):
Whoa.

Speaker 10 (42:53):
I saw a woman on a reel and she tried,
she tried smelling salts and it knocked her on her butt.
She was like overwhel It's almost like you, guys, remember
when Steve O snorted with Sabi in one of the
Jackass movies.

Speaker 3 (43:06):
Yes, he was like overwhelmed by it. It's an idea spot.
Who's the dude that does the wing show tasting the wings?

Speaker 6 (43:14):
Uh? Sean Evans hot ones, Yeah, se.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
Sean Evans hot Ones Like when you get down to
those final couple wings and it's like you see people
genuinely react like, yo, this this is something Cavino look
it up later. If you've seen like young TikTokers trying
smelling salts and it's not simple. It's not like all right,
I got a little pep. It's I've never done it,
have you in the football days?

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Of all people, I've seen Mario Lopez do it not
too long ago too, and he was like, oh my god,
like they couldn't handle it.

Speaker 3 (43:44):
So I get it, you're trying to protect the kids.

Speaker 2 (43:47):
I'm not against it, but I'm surprised they didn't just
make a rule where you just couldn't do it on
the sidelines.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
I mean, I get it.

Speaker 1 (43:56):
They don't want baseball players to have tobacco and stuff
because you know, the kids will see and then all
of a sudden, the kids will want to be chewing
tobacco and it's a bad influence. I guess there's a
parallel there maybe where it's like if you see guys
like Kittle, fired up fun young players snorting anything or
or taking a sniff of something, it just again, it

(44:17):
optically looks weird, right.

Speaker 10 (44:19):
It reminds me of this, uh this, these several lines
from airplane quick to pick the wrong week to quit
smelling smelling salts.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Maybe we go back to the old fashioned way of
slapping yourself in a face one hundred times.

Speaker 3 (44:34):
That's not a bad idea.

Speaker 1 (44:35):
You want to get a winner for Mike's words of wisdom?

Speaker 9 (44:40):
All right, let's start with Mo in Orlando.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
Mo In, Oh, Mo, are you ready to play?

Speaker 12 (44:47):
Yeah, we can get it a go, Give it a go.

Speaker 9 (44:49):
Well, you gotta wait for the music to simmer here
for a second.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
You're on Mo.

Speaker 12 (44:58):
Right, everything how for a reason?

Speaker 14 (45:01):
Sometimes by reason is that you're dumb.

Speaker 9 (45:04):
Oh no, no, no, yeah, he was like paraphrasing it. Sorry,
that's word for word. Yeah, all right, we gotta take
the next caller. Here, Tammy in Vegas. You get a
chance to win.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
Hi, Tammy, Hello, Hi? Oh? Why are you ready to
do Mike's words wisdom?

Speaker 7 (45:24):
Oh?

Speaker 14 (45:25):
As ready as I'm going to be.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
All right, here we go. Let it simmer.

Speaker 14 (45:30):
All right, everything happens for a reason.

Speaker 7 (45:33):
Sometimes that reason is you're stupid.

Speaker 8 (45:36):
Then you make bad decisions.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
Oh, we got order.

Speaker 1 (45:41):
No, it's a winner, you know what I say? Of course,
of course, it took a woman to pay attention to listen.
Guys are terrible listening, right, Tammy, Right, all right, let's
do this Midweek Major.

Speaker 15 (46:00):
Coveno and Rich get you over the middle of the
week when mid Week Major Major, Oh, I love that
we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 14 (46:13):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 15 (46:14):
We definitely here see it our scoring mid Week Major.

Speaker 9 (46:21):
I gotta go really fast here to give spot eight
full minutes.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
It doesn't want that time. I don't want it at all.

Speaker 9 (46:26):
All right, Before we hand things over to the number
one and only host of this segment, usually we roll
the two big red Love Dice, but Coveno is live
from New Jersey today, so Cove. I have Ben Maller's
magic penny in my hand from Benny versus the penny?

Speaker 3 (46:42):
How does he keep that?

Speaker 6 (46:43):
All right?

Speaker 9 (46:44):
And Rich, you are the home team because you're still
here in the La studio, so calling the air Rich
heads or tails?

Speaker 3 (46:50):
Now, I got a big head, so head.

Speaker 9 (46:52):
You do have a big head. It's heads, So that
makes you Rich gets to go first. And now, ladies
and gentlemen, most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch
Playings New Jersey spotty boy?

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Can I request a new intro?

Speaker 4 (47:07):
All right? Well you left off at the break, so
I'll just dive into some more details.

Speaker 3 (47:11):
You mentioned it this weekend. New Jersey native Jen Powell.
I think I'm pronouncing that right.

Speaker 4 (47:16):
We'll make history as the first woman to umpire a
game in Major League Baseball. She'll umpire the doubleheader between
the Braves and the Marlins at Atlanta's Truest Park. She was
born and raised in West Milford, New Jersey, So Jersey privacy.
I went on to play softball and soccer at Hot
Street University. Was an up at the amateur level for

(47:36):
a decade. Appeared in the minors in the Gulf Coast
League in twenty sixteen, moved up to Triple A in
twenty twenty three before she was put on the list
to move up to the majors. The other four major
sports of the other you know, the three of the four,
not hot dog gating, but NBA twenty eight years ago,

(47:57):
they had women NFL ten years ago, So maybe NHS
will be just around the corner midwek or meet.

Speaker 3 (48:02):
I think this is major.

Speaker 1 (48:04):
I think this is great and listen, They're not doing this.
This is not a charity case. You're not throwing this
woman a bone. She has earned it. She has umpired
at every level. My only take that was a little
a little different was I feel like, if you're the
first guy to really argue with her, you're gonna look
like a bully, because as a gentleman, as a grown man,

(48:24):
no one should be yelling.

Speaker 3 (48:25):
At a woman. But then again, it's on the field,
so it's in a job description.

Speaker 1 (48:28):
It's in the job description. I guess right, So I'm
gonna say major. I just think it's gonna be funny
or awkward at first when someone finally starts yelling at
her and she starts yelling back as Hey, you've seen
it umpires in baseball. You see more baseball ump disagreements
than any other sport.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
I agree, major history being made.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
I'm just surprised as taking this long and it shouldn't
be an issue. As they say, the best referees, the
best umpires, are the ones you don't notice. I do
think that men coaches are gonna be able to lean
into the debates and the arguments as much, but in
time we'll get used to it.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
It's all good. Congrats, hey, good for her.

Speaker 4 (49:06):
All right, let's see, for the second week in a row,
a w NBA came was interrupted by a phallic object.

Speaker 3 (49:16):
Can I say that? Have they been three?

Speaker 15 (49:18):
Now?

Speaker 3 (49:18):
If the counts, that's great. I think that this is
the third one. Thank you spot for actually used a
very good word, thank you phallic. Of course you could
say that, right. The first one that made news took
place last week.

Speaker 4 (49:28):
We actually mentioned it last week during mid week Major
where the Valkyries took on the Dream. There was another
one over the weekend, and then the most recent incident
took place last night at the at Crypto dot Com
arena where refever took on the sparks right after Kelsey
plumbnailed to free throw a fan through it on the
court and actually hit Sophie Cunningham. Sophie Stunningham, and ironically enough,

(49:52):
Sophie posted on her social media that she because of
all the incidents, She's like, oh, I hope I don't
get hit in the face.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
It's going to turn into a meme.

Speaker 4 (49:58):
So she ended up being the one that got on
the court went over to the side to kind of
laugh it off. But the w NBA did release a
statement over the weekend because of the previous incident, saying
any fan who intentionally throws an object on the court
will immediately be ejected subject up to one year ban,
in addition to being arrested and prosecuted by wherever the

(50:18):
incident takes place, Midweek or major.

Speaker 3 (50:20):
They had ad this is major.

Speaker 1 (50:21):
They had a heavy arrest because being banned from w
NBA games for a year no is no great punishment,
So yes, you will be arrested.

Speaker 10 (50:30):
They've arrested one guy from one of the first two
incidents so far. He got charged with indecent exposure, criminal
trespassing and.

Speaker 3 (50:36):
What are you in here for a murder?

Speaker 1 (50:39):
No, I threw on the court at a pall object
fallacs NBA game. What happened to it? Is it on eBay?
Did someone put it in there? Did someone put it
in their little bag and take it home?

Speaker 3 (50:51):
Like whatever? And it's once again it was like a
line or like Neon Green. So it's all that. It's
been the same the Shrek collection. I wonder if what
it's all over now. I wonder if it's like the
same one being passed around.

Speaker 5 (51:05):
I don't know, they're like celebrity deaths, they only happen
in threes, So this is the.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
I think that's the big we're making a story out
of it. It gets more pressed for the w n
b A. And all you're doing is inviting more people
to continue doing this, regardless of the consequences.

Speaker 3 (51:23):
They're going to try to sneak it, make it happen.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
And I don't know, I think the w n b A,
without injuring players, leans into it a little bit.

Speaker 4 (51:30):
Making a tradition like like throwing hats or fishing, hockey
or whatever they do.

Speaker 3 (51:35):
It's kind of insulting, though, Isn't.

Speaker 4 (51:36):
It a little bit insulting about it?

Speaker 3 (51:40):
Or a nice parting gift?

Speaker 2 (51:42):
Okay, they're they're laughing about it, the players, of course
not being at them right.

Speaker 3 (51:49):
Some are like, you know, someone's kind of random. Some
have no use for it.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
Okay, Can I move on?

Speaker 3 (51:56):
Yes please?

Speaker 4 (51:58):
We talked a few times here on the show en
during Midweek Major actually how Tom Brady has regretted doing
his Netflix roast, the Greatest Roast of all Time, mainly
because of the impact on his family and his kids.

Speaker 6 (52:09):
Well.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
Roast master Jeffrey Ross comedian Jeffrey Ross has actually commented
and fired back on Brady's reaction, saying, I didn't realize
you could lose half your sense of humor in a divorce.
So in a recent interview with Paige Chicks, he commented
just on Brady's reaction. He said, though he went on
to say, I want everyone to love the roast, to
leave their feeling like it was the greatest night of
their lives. And he said above that, beyond that, the

(52:33):
guy deserves a Nobel Peace Prize for taking the hits
for three hours so the rest of us could forget
our problems. Brady has, of course, expressed this regret on
multiple occasions. So I don't know if this lesson's out
a bit Midweek or major.

Speaker 3 (52:47):
I think it's mid I'll tell you why.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
Jeffrey Ross, you know, really funny buffoon because that's what
he is, right, I mean, he's great at the roasting.
Oh he's a roast master. He's a roast mass there.
But cove I look at it this way, he's in
that world. I'll give you the analogy. When you date
someone that's on the radio or TV, you almost like

(53:09):
sometimes you'll be the content.

Speaker 3 (53:12):
Of discussion and you have to deal with it.

Speaker 1 (53:14):
Jeffrey Ross, his whole life revolves around offensive roasting jokes.
He can't he can't say, oh man, Tom Brady can't
take it. Tom Brady put himself out there more than
anyone ever thought he would have. So I think there
should be no criticism of Tommy. In fact, the fact
that he sort of like didn't think about his family
ahead of time makes you realize that tom was really
in it for the fun. So I'm team Brady on

(53:36):
this one. I don't know if Jeffrey.

Speaker 4 (53:37):
Ross has anything to say about tom I wish Jeffrey
Ross good health. I know he was battling some health issues.
He's the best at the game. But props to Tommy
for putting himself after like that. I think it's great.
So I agree with Rich everything Rich said. Yeah cool, Rich.
If you're contemplating your hairline receiving, I mean, this is.

Speaker 3 (53:56):
A great hairline. You could see it on the.

Speaker 4 (53:58):
Fox Sports Radio YouTube. You can seek it for hairline
Frash right from John Cena. So, the wrestler turned actor
personality whatever went into more detail about the hair transplant
he had back in April. He said he decided to
have the scalp surgery after fans were taunting him about
his receding hairline, and said he couldn't be happier with
the new look. Said it completely changed, quote changed the

(54:21):
course of his life and said if there wasn't so
much shame around that he would have gotten it ten
years earlier. He says it's also led to more acting gigs,
gigs and apparently his daily upkeeper team Rich takenotes includes
red light therapy, monoxidyl vitamins, and special shampoo and conditioner.
And he said he's not alone too, because there's about
seventy eight out of ten men that suffer from thinning

(54:41):
or baldness cluting Rich Midweek or major. Look at this
head of hair if anyone's balding in the room. At you,
buddy boy, what are you mean you talking about Rich?
You don't have a receding hairline or thinning hair? Thank you,
I was saying, but you're fine. Many many you guys
for being a seventy year old man.

Speaker 3 (54:54):
Many many you guys do. And there's no shame in that.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
I think, John Cena, this is great because if I
were I think I woul would go to Turkey to
get this done. And John Cena. I did think it
looked a little peculiar, and then no shame in bald guys.
But when he was in the wrestling ring and he
did have a big bald spot, I mean I couldn't see.
It was very evident. It was very evident. So I
think it's a great, great thing. You know, even John

(55:17):
Cena could get bullied.

Speaker 3 (55:18):
Look at that.

Speaker 2 (55:19):
Hey, look how many I agree with rich I agree
with John Cena. How many men out there struggle with
this issue. It's drastic as dramatic women take and improving
their look.

Speaker 3 (55:29):
It's shame.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
And if you I mean, I know, KIVI I know
you're saying Kavino saying a lot of women they talk
about all these things, whether it be botox, filler surgeries, brass,
you know, booty lifts. All this stuff is very open
and talked about. When it comes to men, there should
be no shame.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
Do it? Have fun with it all?

Speaker 1 (55:51):
Right?

Speaker 4 (55:51):
Uh So, Shaq is putting his faith in his team
and America's team, the Dallas Cowboys for Week one of
the NFL. He revealed on his podcast The Big Podcast
with Shack that the Cowboys will beat the Eagles in
Week one of the NFL, and he's so confident that
he's putting his I guess his outfit where his mouth

(56:12):
is that if he loses, he'll get the dress that
Charles Barkley wore in his iconic Week Watcher's commercial and
wear it outside his Big Chick restaurant right on the
Vegas Strip. He made a similar bet last year on
The Rich Eiland Show, saying that he would wear a
Dallas Cowboys cheerleader outfit if they didn't win against the
Eagles last season, and Dallas went on to lose to

(56:33):
the Eagles thirty three twenty seven. Never made good on
that bet, so we'll see if he makes good on
this bet. However, the Eagles are a seven point favorite
heading into one of the NFL against the Cowboys, So
Midweek or Major, I think either.

Speaker 1 (56:45):
Way it's a good thing because Shak's gonna get promo
for his restaurant or whatever he's doing.

Speaker 3 (56:49):
He's a good sport. People love Shack.

Speaker 1 (56:51):
Cowboys aren't going to beat the Eagles Week one, but
I do love Shack's enthusiasm and I.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
Love your Midweek Major. Thank you, thanks guy boy.

Speaker 11 (56:59):
Get.

Speaker 3 (57:00):
I'm taking my mother to Las Vegas for the first time.

Speaker 6 (57:04):
That's very cool.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
She's never been and she's gonna be seventy and she's
visiting me here in Los Angeles.

Speaker 3 (57:10):
So I said, Mom, I'm changing your flight. She goes,
where am I going, Ritchie, And I go, I'm gonna
fly you straight to Vegas.

Speaker 1 (57:18):
I'm gonna meet you there and I'm gonna do She
wants to see the Bellagio fountains, and I'm taking her
to see Penn and Teller. So it's a mother a
mother's son weekend and then she'll come see my kids
out here.

Speaker 6 (57:31):
And you're taking an old cheetah to Cheetahs.

Speaker 3 (57:33):
Imagine that.

Speaker 1 (57:34):
Imagine my mom's like, Ritchie, I really would like to
go to I heard a thunder.

Speaker 3 (57:37):
Down under send my mom there. Listen.

Speaker 1 (57:41):
While I'm in Vegas, I was looking Danny g that.
I know there's a Rahi Rice story we're gonna get to.
But I was looking at the Vegas odds for MVP.
Is there like a long shot where you could think
of a quarterback or a team where wow, it's not
crazy to think blank could shock the world, Like, what's
the long shot? Is it Aaron Rodgers at plus eight

(58:03):
thousand if the Steelers case. Remember NFL on Fox said
the Steelers would be the sixth or fifth best team.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Is it Aaron Rodgers, Like, what's the pick?

Speaker 9 (58:11):
Where's Jaden Daniels lying at? Because you know, obviously he
was a rookie last season, but he played at an
MVP type level and I could see him avoiding the
sophomore jinx because I think he's the real deal.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
He's about the fifth best, like the fifth highest odds
at plus seven fifty Vegas has it as Lamar Jackson.

Speaker 3 (58:33):
I mean the ones we talk.

Speaker 1 (58:33):
About Lamar, Josh Burrow and Mahomes and then right after them,
Jaden Daniels is number five and then Jalen Hurts Herbert.
I'm just saying it's ridiculous. But I don't know if
it's preposterous to say one hundred bucks on Aaron Rodgers,
one hundred wins eight thousand.

Speaker 4 (58:54):
What if Aaron Rodgers returns to form? What if Aaron Rodgers?
I mean it's right now, it's not looking like no.

Speaker 1 (59:01):
I'm just I'm just saying, like the of the long
shot standing because in that same category, is he's in
the same odds as like Drake May Trevor Lawrence and
Michael PENNOCKX Junior.

Speaker 9 (59:13):
I feel like you've been counting on Aaron Rodgers to
have a miraculous season for three straight years, right.

Speaker 1 (59:18):
I don't know why, and I'm not a big Aaron
Rodgers fan. There's just a part of me that feels
like maybe I root for the forty year old guy.
You know, we all hit forty and you start rooting
for other guys your age, like because if he does well,
it's a feeling they're like, you know, we're not that old.

Speaker 9 (59:32):
Yeah, that's a good transition because we have a story
about a type of food you can't eat when you
get into your forties.

Speaker 1 (59:39):
You shouldn't if you that if you could eat what
you wanted all the time, what's the food? If you
could eat what you wanted all the time with no
caloric ramifications, if calories, fat, grossness didn't matter, I would
choose Taco bell every day. I would have Gordon I
would have Gordonina crunches. Yes, and yes, you know a burritos.

Speaker 3 (01:00:00):
And you know chicken faheta is I would have chey
Gordida crunch. The cheesey cordeya crunch is the best.

Speaker 1 (01:00:08):
What else do I like there the chicken chiloopa with
the spicy ranch.

Speaker 10 (01:00:13):
They have the grilled burrito, like the the steak grilled
so good. But Rashi Rice grilled cheese burrito, I should say,
very good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Now you get me hungry. Yeah, Chado cho Cinco said
Rashi Rice. He's good for fifteen hundred yards this year
and ten touddies because he posted that. Rashee Rice has
been having McDonald's. It's his training camp diet, large fra
and cheeseburgers every day. And you hear guys like Michael Phelps,

(01:00:43):
Floyd Mayweather Junior. When you're conditioned and you are honestly
doing some type of physical activity every waking hour training
for a fight, training for the Olympics. These guys taking
so many calories. I just feel like, if you had
the option, what would you choose? That's what I'm thinking, Danny,

(01:01:05):
what would be your fast food to go to if
if if nothing.

Speaker 6 (01:01:08):
Mattered, nothing matter?

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
Boddy, do you have you have a go to?

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Like if if if you could eat whatever you wanted
no repercussions, would you have in and out every day?

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
Would you have Chick fil A every day? Probably? Pizza?

Speaker 6 (01:01:23):
Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 3 (01:01:25):
That's a good answer.

Speaker 1 (01:01:27):
And when you chicken pizza, and when you mean pizza,
like the whole pizza, like the whole, not like two slices,
like extra cheese, like.

Speaker 9 (01:01:33):
Slob like spot your stomach would be the pizza table.

Speaker 3 (01:01:37):
Yeah, the joey chestnut of pizza.

Speaker 10 (01:01:39):
Yeah, greasy, that's the best part, all right, Well, pizza
eat like a slob.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
Football seasons coming up, so you can hide it under
your under your hoodie.

Speaker 9 (01:01:49):
Yeah, and catch up on Hard Knocks. You didn't see
it last night.

Speaker 1 (01:01:52):
I'm gonna download that for the flight. We'll see you
guys in for Dan Patrick next week. Enjoy until next
time or even there, Chie baby, see you in the
Promised Land.

Speaker 6 (01:02:02):
Goodbye,
