(00:25):
lots of great games. Tonight, you said him, buddy, Happy
birthday weekend to Iowa Sam Sammy, Hey, Samuel the Older today.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, yeah, that's inevitable.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, we celebrated Sam over the weekend. Wish him a
happy birthday today.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
That's fine. Oh man, he's a handsome man overnight. You're
like Aaron Rodgers. That's okay. He's only a few years
older than me.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Spot is here, and of course, the great Dan Byer
is on standby with your outs hanging out. I heard
Dan Buyer's update. He mentioned Andy Dalton. In my mind,
Andy Dalton's been out of the NFL for a decade,
how same, I thought, the same thing said, and I
had to remind myself, like, oh yeah, he's still playing.
In my mind, Andy Dalton has a sweet high and
tight sweet fade going on right now, Ready for that opportunity,

(01:10):
Ready for the opportunity. So we do it every Monday
before we get into all the games. In all the greatness,
we go over week seven, but we also talk about
anything you observed that made you go hmmm. So Sam
the birthday boy might as well hit it because most
of this involves show Hao time for the most I

(01:31):
mean and football right seriously, things that make you go,
things that make your goal now before you get to
show hey in the NFL. I said it at the
end of the week. So I just want to give
everyone a homework assignment. Homework homework sucks. I don't come
to Fox Sports Radio to get your homework, Uber, come

(01:51):
here to chill out your number two pencil, buddy boy,
I have an assignment for settle down homework.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Get it out of my face.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
What's good homework? I want everyone to watch Chad Powers.
This is not a commercial, I promise you. I don't
know how people are not talking about this. It's four
episodes deep. If you love football and love so if
you love stupid comedy and you love football, I don't
know how more of my bonehead buddies aren't talking about
this again.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
You're probably right, we'll do what they want.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
They just don't respect what you're saying, because no, seriously,
it goes both ways. Did you watch ed Gean Monster
on Netflix? Did you watch the John Candy documentary? Did
you watch the Ozzie documentary? Well, we've been telling you
about it now, so how about you? How about you?
How about my little coffee cake?

Speaker 3 (02:39):
Why don't you want some of those things?

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I will like, I'll watch Task Is Danny g You
know that's probably sounds like an HBO fun type of show, like.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
An interesting one.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
I don't want to watch ed Gean and monsters and
serial killers, So yeah, I will skip the only Halloween
time and it's the number one thing on Netflix, clown.
But the point is, you could uh scream till what
comes home.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
You could scream till your mother comes.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
You can tell everybody they're gonna do what they want
or whatever their interests.

Speaker 4 (03:09):
Lie.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
Yeah, now that is true. But I'm just saying to
our audience and our friends. For the most part, if
I said dump comedy about football.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
But my mom stays home all the time.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
But if I said dumb comedy about football, I just
I feel like everyone in our group would be like,
oh yeah, that sounds good.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
So there's so many.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Well, there's so many options. But you know what, that
does sound like something fun that I'll check out when
the girlfriend's out all right? Well, you know, because there's
certain shows that you designate as couples watching, like Love
is Blind or some other nonsense, and then there's other
things you watch as a solo a han solo dolo mission,
and that's probably it.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
But I even think she would love because it's so silly.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
No, no, no, I mean she likes trashy trash like
Love is Blind.

Speaker 3 (03:52):
But I don't think you.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Know that your girlfriend would have like Kenny Powers. No
uh uh no, definitely no, just not her style. Weday,
all women were lined up for Andy what's his name,
Danny McBride and Kenny Powers.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
What about Stevie and his fixing? What women like that? Dude?

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Women that you convinced that they like it? So NFL
of course show. Hey, these are all things that everyone's
talking about. But I want to give you one more thing,
and I'll say that I give it a I mean,
it must be great if your lead is this lame
mass show with all the action.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
I went down this weekend.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
If your lead is we got to watch this Eli
Manning show, then it must be the best show. Hey, listen, Bud,
you don think everyone else I'll putt it earth is
talking about, oh, three home runs show Hay's three home runs.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
I've heard it.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
And if it's better than your forty nine ers winning
a big game last night, I've heard it.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
And this must be the greatest show of all time.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
It's from Friday, so no matter if the greatest performance ever,
I'm putting you guys on a four minute showy O
tany timer?

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh wait, dude, all right, you know what we'll get
to show in from I wanted all seriousness. I am
interested in checking. I watch cheded Powers. I would get
back to me.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
I will.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Secondly, I just want to give a review because I'm
a Cisco and Ebert all rolled into one. You gave
me the heads up on this. I tried watching on
Paramount Plus. Naked Gun, which was just in the theater
is now available at home. I watched it and I
didn't hate it. But I'll be honest, like.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
The reviews made it seem like I was gonna love it.
I was like, I was all right, I.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Was sort of drifting on it myself. Yeah, it was
like either I'm tired or I'm bored. I don't know,
funny one liners and stuff, but I feel like, uh,
and this is no knock on Liam Neeson or Pam Anderson.
It just feels like a very good time and place
for Leslie Nielsen and I loved it back then and
there were some laughs, but eh.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
Did you guys do the lock in? Because I've noticed
this with myself over the last couple of months is
I've got the phone in one hand and there's a
show I want to watch, but I'm still being distracted
by my phone. That's the indicator. Yes, yes, like even
when I started, like now, I am trying to be cognizant.
If there is a recommendation to put it down, sit
down and actually look at it, and if it's not

(06:02):
good enough, then I'll drift, but I at least have
to give it a chance.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
Yeah, you're like king draftfor you Game of Thrones, like
you're waiting to give the thumbs up or thumbs down
if the person like.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Lives or dies or like Gladiator.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Honestly, you're right when Cavinos made this point before, if
you're they call it like co watching.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
That's how you remember that memo from a year.

Speaker 1 (06:20):
Ago where they're like, they're actually creating shows for that
method of watching instead of creating better content. The thought is, well,
if we can't beat them, just join them. So they're
trying to create such brainless shows with brainless content that
you could do both at the same time. You want
missing counterprogramming because that's the way that we consume things nowadays. Yeah,

(06:41):
that's that's our show that we were told you have, Like,
you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'd still listen to us.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, but uh, if you find yourself scrolling and you're like, oh,
I got to rewind ten seconds I missed that, that
means really not into the show. Yeah, yeah, and that
happens far too often nowadays. Enough of Chad Powers, I've
stroked him enough. But I think you'll love it. I
will check it out, though, because how many times do
we sit there like, eh, what's next? But thankfully we

(07:06):
have lots of action tonight sport, I'll put that on
the list. Rich We just saying the Double Doozy in
the NFL and a Game seven. But over the weekend
we just have to I know it's days old now, Danny,
but I'm starting the four minutes time fine, because I'll
say this, we need to embrace history as it unfolds,
because these are the stories, I guarantee you, these are
the stories that your grandkids are going to ask you.

Speaker 3 (07:29):
About, Grandpa. Did you see show Hail, Toddy? I sure did.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, You're gonna be there feeding the ducks telling your
grandkid about the time you saw him hit three home runs.
And we saw the greatest postseason performance, any performance in
all of history.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
And you know, I still think there's wiggle room.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
For the debate between the Babe and Show Hey, And
that's a debate for another day. But I do think
that the Babe was so far superior from his peer
in that time as compared to the Show Hey. But
what we saw was very few people. Yeah, but I
said it on our Patreon today, Rich he hit more
home runs in a season than the rest of the

(08:10):
entire league.

Speaker 3 (08:11):
Right, what was it like seeing him in person?

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I never saw the but we know how far superior
his contemporaries were.

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Right.

Speaker 5 (08:20):
Well, you hear all the inflated stories where people say
some of the stories about the Babe are inflated, so
it's hard to know, like what is real and what
it's hard to prepare.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
But there's still a debate because it's always the goat
of their era and of their time. But that is
by far, hands down the single best performance we've ever seen.
And I'm not downplaying it a bit. It was amazing,
and this is why we should all tune in for
the next ten years of his contractor or forever or
however long he plays that we were able to witness

(08:51):
this greatness because it's a once in a lifetime thing
and we may never ever see that again, dude, And
it's amazing, and I feel honored, honestly honored to be like,
oh my god, I can't believe what I just saw.
And you get on your phone with your buddies and
your family members, like are you watching this? These are
once in a lifetime moment. So even though that happened
on Friday, I'm still thinking about it. You know, it's

(09:14):
incredible when someone does something so extraordinary. I sometimes think
we lose how extraordinary it really is, Like Shoe Hay
has done so many because the past, while the president
is just insane, you glorify the past and sometimes when
someone's so remarkable, Hey, you know, if someone has won
too many comfort behind winds, it becomes second nature and

(09:35):
you get spoiled. When you know, when a fighter just
knocks everyone out, when he doesn't have a knockout, you go,
oh man, it was a down fight.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
We get spoiled.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
And I think with Sho Tani, the stat line on
Friday was more impressive than any little league kid who
bats and pitches.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
I know.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
It's insane star little league kid. And that would be
the equivalent of like when you were ten. You're like, yeah,
you know when I was ten? Are you you know?
I have three home runs in one game and I
pitched that. We're talking about stuff that you and your
best little league day, not only that that brought you
to the World Series. No less right, And there's so

(10:15):
many things that people say about legends, but with show, hey,
it's true, like Mike and I you know Michael runs
this place. Oh yeah, we were talking before you got here,
and we were saying how like even the sound off
of his bat really does sound different, Like you could
close your eyes and know that's a show Hey, Otani
home run and then the legend gets even crazier. You're like,

(10:37):
and get this when you're talking to your grandkids. Not
only did he hit three home runs, but one of
them went out of the park and into the dark.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
No way, grandpa, that's right. Let me pull up on
YouTube and here.

Speaker 7 (10:51):
You taking a little kid right hander, Patrick Deals and
old Tani towering.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
Wall, high drive right field. He's done it again.

Speaker 8 (11:04):
Show hey, old Tani to the top of the pavilion
and right field four hundred and sixty nine feet. The
longest home run at Dodger Stadium this year.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Again, longest home run. There's so many little stats like
all in one game, ten strikeouts, he got the W
like everything about this performance was legendary, and so were
the memes. So let me give you a few memes
that I saw rich. About two hundred and fifty Mexican
kids in ten years are going to have to explain
why their name sho Hey Rodriguez. That's one of my
favorites because think about, honestly, think about what he's doing

(11:40):
to the culture. Okay, how many how many Asian kids
for real too are walking around with a strut right
where like they may have not had that same struck before.
How many Japanese kids are like, Yo, that's the dude
right there. How many little kids are looking at show
Hey like he is the goat. You know, we have
a whole different perception of what sho Hey Otani means

(12:03):
to baseball. You just said something that I mean, you
said it so I'm sure you thought it was smart.
You just said something that I don't want to brush past. Sure,
how many kids, especially in the Japanese community, are going
to be named show Hey after him.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
I recently saw something that I don't know if this
will do to like to you or not.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Fernando Vealezuela did for the Mexican community. It gave people
something to believe in. You know, it was a new hero,
a guy that didn't look like everybody else. You don't
think that this how tall a show he's six foot
five sixty six six seven, it's not there. But I
think handsome Japanese dude that does everything is just making it.

(12:44):
Uh just a different game all around. And and he's
such a role but great role model for the kids.
I mean, kids will be named show Hey for sure.
I bet you there might even be some little American
kids with them, Like show has a middle name or something.
I brought this up show Hey, oh Tani because you
Donni did you know this when we we talked about
this the other day on our other pod, how the

(13:06):
name Jalen? We so matter of factly we can name
a million Jalens in the world of sports and kids
at your son or daughter school, Danny, do you know
the story behind the name Jalen?

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Was it because of Jalen Rose?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
So Jalen Rose's mom did a combination of his dad's
name and his uncle's name. I think it was like
Jason and Leonard and knew the Jayleen and Jalen was
never a name documented in history. There was no kid
named Jalen before Jalen Rose Scott. And then you see

(13:41):
like on the on the baby name register.

Speaker 3 (13:43):
And because he was such a big name in college
after you know.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
The Michigan and then in the NBA, like Jalen created
that name. So Jalen Rose insiment that he was one
of the most impactful people in sports because so many
people were named after him. Sho Hey is just such
a big time role model and has changed I think
baseball forever.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Here's another meme that I saw.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
The Dodgers earned the entirety of Otani's seven hundred million
dollar contract in his first year alone, So again, just
changing the game. The top sixty six exit velocities by
Elie Dodgers' hitters since Showhy joined, sixty four of them
are show Hey, ta Oscar Hernandez is the only other
two that's up there exit velocity. But like just the

(14:29):
things that he's doing, they're like superhero like things you
hear in storybooks, almost mythical when we look back.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
I love where the privilege to see it live.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
I loved how on social media people were saying, can
you explain this in NFL terms or in golf terms?
This guy said, can someone please explain what Shohey did
in golf terms?

Speaker 3 (14:49):
Thanks?

Speaker 5 (14:50):
And Zach wrote back, he said, a sixty three at
Oakmont playing twelve holes right handed and six left handed.

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, it's insane, it really is. So it's incredible.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
And because that happened on Friday and we weren't here
to talk about it, we got to tell you that
there's an update on the guy who caught the third
and historic home run of the game. There's an update
there and we'll get to that later. But just so
much props to what he did in that game. I
think undeniably the greatest sports performance we've ever seen.

Speaker 6 (15:18):
What up dB No, just as the resident golf guy,
the sixty three at Oakmont both right and left handed
is way more impressive than what Oani did not even close,
but just wanted to.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
I understand it, Yes, I understand.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
What did you shoot at Oakmont? I shot one oh
two yes day after the US Open. It was a
rough day.

Speaker 3 (15:38):
The fact that you've played there.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yes, that's impressive to me, Dby, But an incredible weekend
of baseball and football. And if you have any show
hey thoughts, feel free to share them. But we're witnessing greatness,
so just embrace it. Tell your kids, take your kids,
show your kids, Hey, remember this kid, and let us
sink in cause we might not ever see it again.
And then, of course you got the NFL, which is

(16:03):
just so much fun.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Again.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
It was so much fun to hang with you guys
celebrating Sam's birthday yesterday, watching your Niners rich and just
as I came in here today, you know they were
discussing on FS one. You know your boy Nick Wright,
maybe he's Nick wrong. You tell me forty nine ers
better without party.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
I mean, that's that's saying. I mean, Matt Jones is
what four and one?

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Yeah, play tough, playing hurt, you know, and they got
a pretty good thing going on right now. Or you
could say great coaching, but wrote under my things that
maybe go I think that whether if you believe in
the Niners to go anywhere is a different story. But
one of you argue that Kyle Shanahan's coach of the

(16:48):
year with all the injuries, Yeah, i'd say that.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
I mean a depleted team and this team's five and two.
He's he's doing really well.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
He looks like Danny g and I pointed out last night, man,
he aged a lot. It's a stressful job up, but yeah,
he's he's making the lemonade at a dilemmas well. There's
a lot of teams. I mean, there's no one that's undefeated,
and the Jets are the only winless team. There's a
lot of a lot of teams, you know, hanging around
in some capacity. But there's a lot of teams sitting

(17:18):
at five and two right now, which that confuse me.
Like the Falcons though, well, you know what, are they
the most inconsistent team? Because yeah, that was a weird
gauge last night. I didn't know how to really, Danny,
you were all saying that last night it was hard
to read last night's game.

Speaker 5 (17:31):
Right, same team who lost to the Panthers thirty to nothing,
and then the same team that turned around and beat
the Bills exactly.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
But so I'm like, well, are the forty nine ers
better than we think? Are the Falcons just not that good?
I think there's there's a couple of things. I think
there's a lot of five and two teams, which is
on pace for roughly twelve and five, right, So looking
at a bunch of teams that are on that twelve
and five pace, which you know, they're not all going
to stick around. So who's you know, whose luck is
gonna run out? And what are the teams are gonna

(17:58):
step it up? So we'll see. But as far as
the forty nine ers go, I think it could be
summed up simply with one name, Christian McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey
went healthy, just could carry a team. He really could
carry a team because he could run and he can carry.
I mean, you know, he's there's double threat. There's just
so much he brings to the game, Like even if

(18:20):
the ball's not to him, just him being in the
backfield creates a million thoughts for a defensive court. And
you know, I also a funny clip of him over
the weekend too. It was like there's a lot of people.
There's a weird perception that a lot of people have
of Christian McCaffrey who think he's like just like a
small running back, like one of those smaller type, and

(18:41):
he's like, dude, I think a lot of people have
this idea of me that I'm just this small guy
that really can't do a whole lot because I always
played with Cam Newton, and I was always seen next
to Cam Newton and people don't realize how big. But
not only that you see him, and he's always like
standing next to Trent william So he's always just standing
next to a bigger guy, which is why Cavino refuses
to hang with really tall guys.

Speaker 9 (19:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I don't want that. I don't want that reputation.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
I remember, we we we would we forget Like he's
a bigger, powerful guy, you know. So even when he's
not carrying the ball, he's doing something productive.

Speaker 5 (19:15):
And rich Kittle needs to get a lot of attention
because when he's out injured, those holes aren't opening the
way they were last night.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Kittle, Even if the numbers aren't there, Kittle's just have
your presence and blocking and just creating diversions.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
So no doubt.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
And by the way, we used to do occasional shows
with our pal Ryan Hollins and Covino's like, yeah, I
don't want to hang with that guy socially because it
just makes me look like, makes me look like tattoo
for Fantasy Islands. I mean, he's how many percentage of people,
like one percentage? Like we had not no, no, no, like,
I mean like a point. There's like twelve hundred people
in the world that are seven foot of tall. We
worked with a skuy who was over seven foot tall.

(19:50):
You hang out with him, take pictures of him all
the time. Great guy, but it made me look terrible.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
COVENI, we can never take off your timberlands. Yeah, like
George Stands in India can never take off hers. To
take off Timberlin' it's crazy word when a guy over
seven foot tall. But yeah, I mean I think a
totally different vibe rich with Kiddle back on the team.
Nice win for your forty nine ers last night, and again,
I don't know how to feel about the Falcons other

(20:15):
than they're just I saw a lot of comments of
Jekyl and Hyde sort of team, just very inconsistent team.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
Take take this with what you will.

Speaker 6 (20:22):
The Falcons came off of a big, emotional, physical win
over the Bills on Monday night football. Yeah, had to
travel across the country on a short week and play
San Francisco. I'm not taking anything away from from what
CMC did last night because he was a one man show.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
But the deck was stacked against the Falcons. Yeah, you know,
Danny G.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Maybe go There's something Danny G does that I want
to point out as a good move. Danny G travels
with a football he does, and I feel like it's
a clutch move. Like anytime Danny G comes over for
a barbecue, little birthday dinner, so always rings a foot ball.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
And I think it's a great.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Move because who doesn't want to like dip outside for
a second or just toss around the football.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
It's like your patented move, I think.

Speaker 5 (21:07):
Yeah, I've always had at least one football in my
trunk and if there's a gathering, I always bring it in.
And the only thing I felt bad about last night
is your two kids started tackling each other with the
football and they got into a little bit of trouble.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Of course, I mean, I'm not going to tell rich
how to parent, but it needs to control these little
ruck Rather.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
It's a party starter, though, smack punch. It's a service ball.
You know, it's a comfort ball. Yeah, Like it's there
to you know, provide comfort and services in.

Speaker 3 (21:33):
And as the old jocos.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Someone breaks out any type of ball, tennis ball, football, baseball.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
Another guy in the room's bounce back. Yeah, let me say,
let me say, you know.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Which one I can't resist, Like, if you're holding it
right now, I'd be like pass off if I saw
a racquetball, because it just has a good feeling bounced
to it like a blue Hey, give me that looks
like a stress ball. A hey, speaking of balls, balls
to the wall. There's an update on show Hayes third
home run ball to be a weekend. We'll get to

(22:03):
that plus last one standing. We have prizes to give away,
but the NFL anything you observed over the weekend, we'll
get to your phone calls. Now, does what I means,
let's say hi to Carlos in Fresnow, what's up, Carlos, Carlos, Hey, Bud, Carlos,

(22:24):
Danny there he is inside.

Speaker 4 (22:26):
Hey questions? I guess hello, Hello, Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 3 (22:30):
Man?

Speaker 4 (22:32):
What's up? What's up? I have two questions and two comments?
I guess yeah. Basically, I'm on Seattle. If the Big
Dumber does it come through? Is is it a lost season?

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Oh? Lost season?

Speaker 10 (22:45):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (22:45):
I don't think so. Man.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
That was a great season for Seattle. This as far
as they've pretty much come so absolutely.

Speaker 3 (22:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
I mean they say that Ken Griffy saved Safego in
ninety five. I believe in the playoffs, and what have
they really done since then? They've had some great teams,
but this is the farthest I've seen him. So is
it a wash? No, man, I think they had a
really great season. But hey, we'll see what happens tonight.
I know Vladdy Guerrero is playing on a different level.

(23:13):
Anything can happen tonight, Big Dumper, though, this could be
a moment.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
Yeah, and the moment.

Speaker 1 (23:18):
Doesn't make or break his MVP chances and doesn't anything. Yeah,
it doesn't take away from his accomplishments. What else did
you have, Carlos, Yeah, he said, yeah, two things.

Speaker 3 (23:32):
That was one.

Speaker 4 (23:34):
Yeah, that was one. On all Football, it's someone like
Makefield Donald someone the ouse gonna get a ring before
Alan or Jackson.

Speaker 3 (23:45):
I mean it looks like it, right, Yes, yeah, that
always seems to happen. Though.

Speaker 1 (23:49):
We talked about that last week. How like you know,
we were singing Joey Flacco's praises. We're saying he was
always the guy that can you believe he got one?
And other greats didn't happens all the time. There's gonna
be another team that sneaks in there. Maybe it's because
of their defense, or maybe we just underestimate their leadership.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
Yeah, let's say hi to Mitch and Jersey. What's up Mitch, guys.

Speaker 9 (24:12):
A couple of things in the US, seeing one on
the tour. Yeah, we are to line, but we had
a good start. Running back said he got a possible
heisman in Mayaba and Mikaya Lemon.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
But he tries to be tiny Shudhism with your your children.

Speaker 9 (24:31):
Your your little kids. I mean you see him, that's
shoot your dom.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
I could hardly hear him. He was speaking another language.
What he was saying, only very fast he did you
even think it's going to defer to you guys because
you're from the East coast?

Speaker 3 (24:45):
Did he throw in the point? Because that was he
spoke really quickly.

Speaker 6 (24:49):
I honestly I heard Otani and Heisman. I thought he
was upset with USC's performance against the.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Quarterback was cute c and he doesn't like the word
cutes designated for dogs and baby, not for your quarterbacks performance.

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Man. I really, honestly, I was like, is anyone else hearing?
Because I mean fluent? Am I having a stroke right now?

Speaker 6 (25:09):
If you guys ever get rid of Big Mike's words
of wisdom, just replace it with that and try to
code that. Yeah, a coozie or a water bottle for
your entire life.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
I call back anytime, which is words of Jersey, words
of Jersey. I'm fluent in Jersey.

Speaker 5 (25:23):
Bo.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
You know the connection here? What I'm sorry? What it
was like pee? It was like pee wee when it
called Dottie.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
We're going to take the rest of your phone calls
at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. I want
to hear your thoughts on the Giants collapse. I want
to hear your thoughts on the Patriots. Are they the
best in the AFC East? That's what everybody's saying. Things
that made you go hmm. We'll get to your phone
calls next, but first, an update from the great Dan Byer,
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (25:49):
Very much, Mariners.

Speaker 6 (25:50):
In Blue Jay's game seven ALCS tonight in Toronto, you'll
see it on Fox eight o'clock Eastern time. George Kirby
goes up against Shane Bieber. Albert Pool has no longer
than the running to be the next manager of the Angels,
still a candidate for the Padres managerial opening.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
According to reports.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Tonight, there is a Monday night football doubleheader Mike Evans
and a Mecca Buca active tonight for Tampa Bay as
they faced the Lions coming up at seven o'clock Eastern time,
both dealing with hamstring injuries. Texans and Seahawks coming up
at ten o'clock Eastern time four year, one hundred million
dollar extension in Atlantic guys, back to you, thanks Debe.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
You've said a Poolhulse out of the running for the Angels,
but where Padres Padres?

Speaker 3 (26:30):
You know, it's interesting.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
We're so closed minded is the wrong word we assume
when a guy played for a team, or if a
guy's career spanned three four teams, we assume they would
be the only ones interested in them. In a coaching position.
How many people do you think admired Albert Poolholts from
afar everybody? How many gms, how many scouts? How many
front offices said oh, we just couldn't get them? Like so,

(26:54):
you always assume that the guy's going to coach the
team he was on, But there's twenty nine other teams
that probably.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Mired what that guy was capable of doing.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
And I did see a recent clip if you want
to tie it all together, that Albert Poolhols talks about.
Was it he that taught Otani a different move with
his front foot? Have you seen that clip that's going
around like the way almost like a little pigeon toed
how Poolholes had that front foot in? He said, I
taught that to Atani and then all of a sudden
it totally just made it swing even better. So Albert big, big,

(27:27):
you know, big student of the game. So that should
be interesting to see him land somewhere all right. Now,
back to things that made you go hmm, let's take
one call. Now we'll take the rest in a little bit.
Paul in Minnesota wants to talk about one of the
big games of the season so far that goes down
tonight Lions and Bucks.

Speaker 3 (27:42):
So what's up, Paul.

Speaker 9 (27:44):
Hey, guys a longtime Lions fan. I live in Minnesota now,
so that kind of sucks, But just just wanting to
get your thoughts. I think the Lions are going to
make a statement tonight and put themselves back in the league,
out of the NFC, But I wanted to know what.

Speaker 3 (27:59):
You I mean.

Speaker 1 (28:01):
I don't think what you're saying is unlikely. They're almost
a touchdown favorite in Vegas. They're six and a half
point favorite, so the sentiment that the Lions do make
a statement at home is likely. Again, that's what Vegas
is sort of thinking as well. Will be a double
digit you know where the Lions, you know, biting your kneecaps,
you know, Dan Campbell type of night.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
It very well could be.

Speaker 1 (28:23):
Baker Mayfield's not going to go sixteen and one, So
there will be other ls on that schedule. Maybe tonight
on the road in Detroit is one that if you lost,
you don't look back and say, maybe we let that
one slip. That's to me, that's like I believe this
Monday night football game is both you know, both teams
want it bad, so that's what makes it exciting. Yeah,
I mean four and two Lions, five and one Bucks.

(28:45):
I mean the reality is if the Lions do win.
Remember earlier in the show, I said there's a hell
of a lot of teams that are five and two,
which is on pace for around twelve and five, And
you wonder, are there really that many twelve win teams
or a lot of these teams simme.

Speaker 3 (29:00):

It's high for our tirect play of the Day and
I felt so bad for Jackson Dard and Scataboo, but
people are still buzzing about what happened.

Speaker 10 (29:45):
In Denver, an attempt to thirty nine yards for the
win snap placement kick on the way.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
It's good Rocco players celebrating they just won a home
playoff game left them too much time.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
It was a battle that right there is courtesy of
KOA eight fifty AM and ninety four to one FM

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (30:52):
The talk of the town, what town, LazyTown, crazy town,
electric city.

Speaker 3 (31:00):
Town name being chanted? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Are they the best in the AFC East? Getting thirty
one thirteen over the Titans just looking good. Listen, you
could say at the moment, yes, because they they beat
the Bills in Buffalo and they turn around right here, Man,
they stinked all of a sudden. Wow, they're right back

(31:24):
in the mix. It's almost unfair, and it happens in
all sports, right where like you're like, oh man, it's
time to rebuild, and when the team rebuilds quick, you're
almost mad at them for it, Like, well, you were
supposed to suck for a decade, you're good again.

Speaker 3 (31:34):
It's the fair, like.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
When your team sucks, you just met that they suck
for longer, and they really suck for what three years?
Maybe they've turned it around quite quickly. That's why I'm
still trying to process, Like, Yo, they're back, huh okay,
I guess, so we got to start taking them serious.
Their suck was not long lasting, no, or it was
more fascinatuh. Danny g and I at Sammy's Sammy Sweetheart's

(31:58):
birthday party yesterday, by the wait, I love the magician
and balloon guy you hired Sam.

Speaker 3 (32:03):
That was great My Sammy Sweetheart's sixteen. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
At Sam's birthday celebration yesterday, Danny was like, hey, man,
did you see how the Vikings were defending the tush push?

Speaker 3 (32:16):
That was kind of wild. That made me say, hmmm,
is trying new things? Yeah? I mean looked defective?

Speaker 8 (32:22):
It did?

Speaker 1 (32:22):
It looked defective. It's like, all right, don't work harder,
work smarter. There's there's a way to do it. And
they were like laying sideways and it's almost like a
V shape and they were able to get to the
quarterback dying made me say, for sure. You know what
made me say, you said it earlier? Mac Jones. I
saw Funnylones. I saw a funny clip and it was

(32:44):
a forty nine er fan fighting with someone, his little
comedy skit. It's like, so would you say, since Kyle
Shanahan's been there, they you know he's coached in a
good system. Yes, so you're saying if you play in
his system, you're effective. And it's his whole slippery slob too.
So Mac Jones would to be this somewhere else. So
is he a system quarterback? Which makes Brock purty Your

(33:05):
thoughts on Mac Jones? Is it really just Kyle Shanahan
has such a user friendly program or is that taken
away credit from a guy that's a first.

Speaker 3 (33:13):
Round draft pick.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Yeah, I think we forget that he was a solid
quarterback to begin with, and he's getting an opportunity to
play in a good system and it.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Works for him.

Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah, it's similar to the Vikings. You can go there
and be in a great offensive scheme for a quarterback.

Speaker 3 (33:28):
Easier for some than others.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
And there's some things that mac Jones can't do. He's
not going to take off and pick up a first
down his feet usually. I think that there's certain things
they use, certain plays in the playbook that they would
use brock Party that they won't use with Mac Jones.

Speaker 1 (33:41):
I'm not quick to be like, well, perty's a system
guy that lucked out and now makes fifty million dollars
a year. But you know what I do look back
at now we've had enough time. You know, when a president,
you can't really tell if his turn was good until
years later. How about when a president puts AI videos
out stop it of dumping poop?

Speaker 3 (33:58):
How about that when to president tweets out really random videos?

Speaker 1 (34:02):
What I think like a presidency, it's hard to tell
until you know. They always say until a decade or so,
later when you could really look back. I think that
applies to sports too, looking back, man, like Jimmy Garoppolo
is the definition of like someone that like benefited, benefited
solely from being with the Niners in that time period

(34:23):
with Mike Kyle Shanahan playing with McCaffrey Kittle debo, you like,
do you think Jimmy Garoppolo And.

Speaker 3 (34:32):
That makes me think of that anyone but him, they
probably would have won two Super Bowls.

Speaker 5 (34:37):
Speaking of quarterbacks, and we go back to the Denver
celebration really quick Jackson Dart and we were talking about
this at the party last night when he first laid
out and it was early in the in the drive
in the series because of the penalty, it was almost
better when he was called down because the clock would
have ran because he actually extended and got the ball

(34:57):
in there. Do we need to see more of his
biggins we talked about at the end of last week
with that high IQ and you know that quarterback on
the other side of the field is just chomping at
the bit to get that ball back.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
You don't want to give these guys a time like,
you know, anything above thirty seconds. Ever since Mahomes and
the Chiefs took the ball downfield what they started with
like less than twenty seconds in that championship game.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Or divisional whatever it was a couple of years back.
Ever since then, I feel like no time is short enough.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Like in my mind, if you get a quarterback and
one bed pass interference call something like you're you're there,
it's oh. We did learn though, officially, that the Giants
have their quarterback of the future, like that dude's exciting
to watch. He's a gamer. They just need a new kicker,
and their defense is a little ass. But other than that,
Giants look like they got some fire. Number one on

(35:50):
your presets, number one in your heart. Cavino and Rich. Now,
there was other observations I made Rich like Patrick Mahomes
acting abilities.

Speaker 3 (35:58):
That was a big headline over the weekend. Goodness, is
he great or what? Patrick warh.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
Yeah, he unexpectedly he ran a play that resulted in
the first down and then he was asked about his
acting skills and he's like, I think my.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Work in the state farm commercials is paid off and
good one. You know, he did a great job with that.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
But the Chiefs are also proving that they're gonna be
one of the usual suspects.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
You've been saying it every week. I hate that.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
I when they were having a season, dude, I having
a season. I hate when they were owing to that.
I've believed that maybe they're gonna hit some road bumps.
Yeah they did, and then that's over. And Mahomes actually
has been carrying my Dan Bayer Guillotine League. The guy's
put up great numbers. When when I drafted Mahomes, there
were some people that were like, get rich. He's not
the Mahomes of years ago, and he's having a really good,

(36:51):
statistical would comeback season. But he's still got that magic
in him, a statistical comeback season, right, Dan Buyer, are
you the fantasy guy?

Speaker 3 (36:58):
Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (36:59):
The defense isn't as good as it once was for
Kansas City, which has forced them to score a few
more points. And they really don't have a running game
right now, or at least a consistent one. So it's
been a lot of Mahomes lately.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
It really has been. And here's what he said about
a state farm acting chops.

Speaker 12 (37:16):
I think he comes from all my state farm commercials.

Speaker 3 (37:18):
No, No, I'm joking the you know, honestly, when he
went up to the lot of scrimmage.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
It's his Dan Marino moment, meaning remember when Dan Marino
famously did the fake spike, and then it was like.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Oh, no one ever thought to do that before.

Speaker 1 (37:32):
Mahomes, If you don't know what we're talking about, because
I can't expect everyone saw every game, you know, when
it's fourth and short yardage, sometimes the team goes up
to the lot of scrimmage and after the first hard count,
you realize, oh, they're not gonna snap the ball.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
They're trying to get the defense in the job off size. Yeah,
And it was one of those like.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
And then he audibly hears and you get Tony Romo
and everyone hears him say, ah, this never EFN works.
And then just when you think he's about to call
the playoff or take the five yard delay a game whatever,
if he goes he goes psich. Then he snaps the
ball and they run for a first down. It was
really I'm shocked it took this long for someone to
do the fake. He didn't say hike, he went psike.

Speaker 5 (38:14):
Mahomes also chuckled like that when they asked him about
the chop block on Max Crosby's knees.

Speaker 3 (38:18):
Oh, stop.

Speaker 5 (38:19):
So did you see that and then that let's go
to the rules analyst. Oh, well, technically that is legal.

Speaker 1 (38:25):
Danny, Can I tell you something? Tom Brady should call
you and tell you how great of a fan you
are for the Raiders, you know, the Davis family.

Speaker 3 (38:34):
Oh, he shouldn't talk to me right now.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
I tell you because I thought this yesterday before you
got to our house. We were looking at you know,
watching all the highlights, and I turned to Sam and
Cavino and I said, you know, Danny g is such
a great Raiders fan that every week he comes in
and tries to find something positive, like you know, guards
or Wolves' for the you know, a couple offensive larm
and you know, and Genty will get started, like you're

(38:57):
so positive when your team is junk.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Genty did get started a few weeks ago. That wasn't
enough to do, squad.

Speaker 5 (39:03):
But what I'm saying, like you are so aside from
week one and then blowing the end of that Chicago game,
there's been times where they looked decent, and most of
the season so far they have looked god awful. But
you got to wonder what's going on with Pete Carroll
and Chip Kelly. There's rumors that Chip Kelly is not
liked in that locker room, and so far that's been
a lot of money spent and not spent well on

(39:25):
Chip Kelly.

Speaker 3 (39:26):
I heard Rob Parker going berserk on your team, man.

Speaker 5 (39:29):
I heard Rob Parker going berserk on Sho Heeo Tani
last Friday, even after the first home run.

Speaker 3 (39:36):
If people don't know, I knew that.

Speaker 1 (39:38):
People don't know Danny g He's a big Dodgers and
Raiders guy, and you can't be having more of a
split personality right now.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
One of your teams is.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
Going to probably easily win the World Series and your
other team may win three games all year.

Speaker 3 (39:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (39:50):
I mean, like a lot of Raider fans, I would
hope and pray that someday Mark Davis is not the
owner of the team that has not been working out well,
he's not his ad.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
What's going wrong with any means?

Speaker 5 (40:02):
You know, there's been so many rebuilds, there's been so
many half rebuilds and stops and starts and new coaches
and new systems, and besides Graham the defensive coordinator, that
nothing consistent really has been in that building. The only
thing you could hope for is maybe Tom Brady will
have some influence to do a true rebuild. I just

(40:24):
I just wonder, not a lot of hope.

Speaker 1 (40:25):
But what I'm not seeing d be you analyze the
stuff every week being a big fantasy guy, and it's
not all about numbers and points.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
But what are the Raiders? Is it they haven't got
their quarterback?

Speaker 1 (40:35):
Is it the is it the the frequent changes in coaching,
coaching that like they they're one of the few teams
that hasn't effectively at least got a rebuild while they
made the postseason and then tucker out, Like even Miami
for a second was like, oh then they fell off again.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
But the Raiders just can't get it together.

Speaker 6 (40:52):
I thought that Beete Carroll was brought in to try
to change the attitude of the Raiders, and I think
they've tried that a bunch of different ways, with be
bringing in the Patriot way with Josh McDaniels and Dave
Ziggler at one point, then they bring in Tom to LESCo,
they let him go after one year, and now you
bring in a now seventy four year old Pete Carroll.

(41:14):
So if he hasn't changed the culture of the locker room.
It's not like Pete Carroll's going to coach their years.
Like it's that's not gonna happen. You needed it to
be more immediate.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
And remember Antonio Pierced for a minute was like, oh man,
they you know, they got their guy internally, and then
that was like a short lived experiment.

Speaker 5 (41:31):
He gave him manager and they just feel cursed in
a way because Gruden, right when he started getting things rolling,
then the whole email thing and all that.

Speaker 1 (41:40):
I think that's where things started to unravel. After that,
they just lost all hope. It seems like I would
be gangster.

Speaker 5 (41:46):
If I was Mark Davis, I would clean house and
rehire John Gruden and shake.

Speaker 3 (41:52):
It up, shake gatos.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
I mean if I was if I was Mark Davis,
I'd get a haircut first, then do all the thing.

Speaker 3 (41:59):
Hey, Rich, put some just put some styling. Jel. Take
you back to Friday.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
We were talking about your big TV game of the
week and you were torn between the Giants and Broncos
and the Colts and the Chargers. Two good games, but
the takeaway is the Chargers. I know you're such a
uniform guy. A lot of memes over the weekend about
they look like the Savannah bananas. Even Adam Shine said
on CBS, Adam Shine the Savannah bananas, I mean the Chargers.

(42:25):
I saw a lot of memes about that. And you know,
what are our thoughts now about the Colts? Are we
just going to accept much like the pass that they're
just the solid team this year? Now, Listen, every few years, guys,
we got to remember there's a changeover in who's good
and it's not. You know, there's a couple teams that
remained in the mix. But why is it crazy to

(42:47):
think a team rebuilt and now they're good. Colts look good.
Mac Jones, Daniel Jones looking.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
Great this year. Man. So those are our takeaways.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
I did have one more observation to aside from the
banana looking uniforms. In the world of fighting, did you
see Paulie malan Nagi made a return to the ring
but in a bare knuckle brawl. Now, even as a
fight fan like, I'll watch the highlights, but there's not
a whole lot of intrigue there for me when it
comes to a bare knuckle brawl, at least not at

(43:17):
the moment right, Like, I'm not into that. Really, you
gotta see how mangled his face was after a victory
in his comeback win Paulie the Magic Man, Maelanagi. You
gotta see how mangled he was. Anything rebund at this
one won the fight, that's the crazy part about it.

(43:37):
So that also happened over the weekend. I'm just throwing
that out there as a fight fan.

Speaker 10 (43:40):
Man.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
You might see some highlights on your social media about that,
and those are our observations. Yeah, and we're gonna have
a lot more tomorrow because there's two great games tonight
and a Game seven that we got to talk about.
John in Minnesota. One less call about some NFL stuff. Now,
what's up, Bud?

Speaker 3 (43:58):
Johnny? Hey, Johnny, you're on Minnesota? Yeah, what's up?

Speaker 12 (44:03):
Man?

Speaker 9 (44:04):
Hey, how are you guys doing?

Speaker 10 (44:05):
Man?

Speaker 12 (44:05):
I love you Rich and Gravino?

Speaker 3 (44:06):
What's up? But thank you, buddy?

Speaker 12 (44:08):
I mean that might have been one name at all,
But what's up?

Speaker 10 (44:13):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (44:13):
Okay?

Speaker 12 (44:15):
I have one worst of the weekend and one best
of the weekend.

Speaker 3 (44:19):
Okay.

Speaker 12 (44:20):
It was my birthday. On Friday. The golfers one Nebraska
to number twenty five, but the Vikings went into the
red zone six times. They only scored one touchdown. If
they would have scored one more, we would have one.

Speaker 1 (44:36):
Yeah, I mean, that's that's gonna be the hold up
a lot. I mean there are teams that you wonder
like what they guess You ever look like the team stats,
unlike an app or something, and you're like, well, they've
read they had a lot of yards. They converted third
downs at a decent rate. You know, if you can't
push the ball at all in the red zone, you're

(44:57):
never gonna win.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
Right.

Speaker 1 (44:57):
It's like I was look at two things and it's
red his own conversions and time of possession those things
and turnovers turnovers, time of possession and red zone execution.
Those three things could tell the whole story if you
if you don't, if you didn't watch the game, just
look at that and that'll tell you.

Speaker 3 (45:12):
Don't bury the lead. Was that a gopher sound effect
or a squirrel that Sam played? Hey, whatever your imagination wants.
I'm not sure. Good one. But Jalen Hurts put up
some big numbers.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Speaking of the numbers, and what you look at, three
hundred and twenty six yards, three touchdowns, so it eagles
over the vikings and then, like we said tonight, lots
of great stuff to get to now bear good would
you say?

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (45:35):
Bear for the Bears. So, yeah, these are things we
need to take note of. For sure, four in a
row for the Bears. Looks like they're turning things around.
And Mike, who runs this place as a Panthers fan,
so I have to shout out his winning streak. Carolina Panthers,
you know they were uh, as he said during the
break with if the Bucks lose tonight to the Lions,

(45:58):
that was a dynamic thirteen to say victory, I mean
the Panther The Panthers are only a game behind. Think
about that. If the Panthers win tonight on the path,
I'm sorry if the if the Bucks lose tonight, they're
four and three, the Bucks will be five and two.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
They're they're right there. Who would have thought that? Right?

Speaker 1 (46:15):
I mean good for the good for the Panthers. I
know they're not explosive great wins, but you know they're
not awful. Well, you got two that fair big games tonight.
We'll be talking about that tomorrow and of course a
game seven. Now it's one of the biggest cliches, but
it's also very true that when it comes to sports,

(46:36):
two best words in sports are Game seven, and everybody
says it. And if you listen to sports talk radio,
or you and your buddies are chopping up, or you're
at the barber shop, you hear things like that two
best words.

Speaker 3 (46:50):
And sports games. Civy.

Speaker 1 (46:54):
So I heard Chris Purfett say it today in an update,
and I knew it was coming. And because you know,
it's just something that everybody says, but it's true. Best
swords guys, Dude, we said it amongst each other hanging
out yesterday.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
He didn't say free food were the two best words?

Speaker 1 (47:08):
No, I but you know what you said that because hey,
we're all pumped about the game tonight, especially if you
don't have a team playing, you're just watching for fun.

Speaker 3 (47:19):
Man.

Speaker 1 (47:19):
It gives us more to talk about and something to
watch because it's due or die. Every little pitch, every
every call, every hit, every pitch taken is a big
moment tonight and under the microscope because everything counts, everything matters,
because this due word die. It's for all the tostedos.
As we say game seven. But when it comes to
the best two words, can we think of any other

(47:43):
two words that compare? But a PG thirteen variation here
for Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (47:49):
Are you gonna keep it clean? Like you said? Free food? Yo?

Speaker 4 (47:52):
Bro?

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Those are two great words for any because I'll get
out of my seat. I'm like, where what's up? Where
are we?

Speaker 13 (48:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Free food? All right?

Speaker 10 (48:02):
Dude?

Speaker 3 (48:02):
That gets everybody pumped you up? You know, so not
just profet everybody.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
So let's get the phones going before we get into
last one standing and all the other fun we have
today and the prizes and everything else. Game seven tonight?

Speaker 3 (48:16):
Are there?

Speaker 1 (48:17):
Two other best words that come to mind, but again
without being rated, are an ex when my wife and
I actually get away from the kids, Like when those
few times a year were actually take a little getaway.

Speaker 3 (48:33):
Adults only you love that? Huh oh?

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Nothing bothers me more than other people's kids. I'm when
I'm on vacation.

Speaker 3 (48:40):
That's so funny. I'm escaping parent.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
You appreciate kids, you know, kids, I got kids when
I am not with my own kids and coaching and
doing things at the school when I'm when I'm not
in that mode, Get your stupid kids away from I'm
with you on vacations because you will react us too.
That's what I don't get kids, Like, how did the
little kids ever get to know their family members if

(49:05):
you don't want them at their party. Kid was sliding
around the dance floor and that's the only time I
see Uncle so and so. Anyway, no kids. I can't
get down with the wedding one, but the vacation when
I get it.

Speaker 3 (49:20):
No kids.

Speaker 1 (49:21):
Kids will ruin a wedding. I mean for a guy
who has two kids, it's pretty pretty harsh. She's so
anti kid. Yeah, I'm so anti kid. Yeah, sounds a
little jerky. I think it's a cultural thing, and that's
my polite way of saying it. I really do because
in my family, like if someone told my dad that
he couldn't bring his kids, you know what he would say,

(49:42):
if you I ain't going, swear to God, my dad would.

Speaker 3 (49:45):
Be offended by that.

Speaker 1 (49:47):
Uh, mister Cavino, you could, you're invited, but you can't
bring your kids. My dad would be like, well do
you think you are? I guess I ain't going, then
well then don't divide, then don't go.

Speaker 3 (49:56):
And he wouldn't your kids or not one. It's a
very cultural thing that I'm weird.

Speaker 1 (50:05):
I'm coaching four days a week, I'm involved in the
school kids'reneering. But the kids are not part of the
family that they can't come to the wedding. But I
don't want a kid at a wedding. You're dancing and
drinking and having fun. You all a little kids. There
kids a family vacation. You're trying to have a hotel
lay on the beach, and you want your kids around.
Get your kids out of the vacations. I think that's different.
They separate certain resorts like that's the adult's only side,

(50:28):
that's the family side.

Speaker 3 (50:29):
I'm with you. I'm okay with that when you say
vacation stuff.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
And if I do say family stuff, I'm like, man,
if i'm what the hell, what the hell good is
family if the kids can't be involved. If my wife
and I are going away for a couple of days Mexico, Aruba,
Dominican Republic, we're going somewhere and we're finally getting a
break from our own.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Five and eight year old. Do you think I want
to say your stupid kids?

Speaker 1 (50:50):
No kids. This guy claims he's Dad of the Year.
He says, no kids are all kick him out. Okay,
I got one. If you're a scandalous guy, I'm with
you on free food. I think that's my favorite one.
If you're a scandalous guy. What if a woman said, uh,
I'm discreet, or or Richie says in your ear I'm down, I'm.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Down, I'm discreet. That's all right?

Speaker 1 (51:17):
So what two words or music to your ears? What
two words compare to Game seven? If everybody loves to
say game seven the best two words in sports, what
are the other best two words in life? Let's get
the phones going eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and of course

(51:38):
at Covino and rich at Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (51:41):
Two words trying to think? Oh what do you got Sam?
Open bah, open, open bar.

Speaker 1 (51:49):
That's a good one. That's said that when we start?
Oh you just say that, yeah, open by our free food,
I'm discreet.

Speaker 3 (51:55):
No kids? What else is?

Speaker 4 (51:57):
What?

Speaker 3 (51:58):
Are are there any other two words? I don't know
if it's been said, but open bar good one. What
about open bar?

Speaker 10 (52:07):
Oh?

Speaker 13 (52:07):
Wait?

Speaker 3 (52:08):
Richie said that?

Speaker 1 (52:08):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (52:09):
Dan, you said that. I was gonna say open late
like the fast. I think that that's like.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
All right, open late. I like that because closing soon sucks.

Speaker 3 (52:21):
How about day off?

Speaker 9 (52:23):
Damn?

Speaker 3 (52:24):
That's another good one. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (52:25):
So this is why we get you involved Fox Sports
Radio Nation. Yeah, I like that day off.

Speaker 3 (52:31):
Give it to me. I have never complaining. You know what,
if you have others, we'll take your feedback. Next.

Speaker 1 (52:35):
Plus, we're gonna play the game that sweeps the nation
every Monday. Can you don't get so stressed?

Speaker 3 (52:41):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (52:41):
I love how he blanks sometimes and it gets mad
at himself. You act like you don't justify every time
you're wrong. You're like the least self aware person I
ever met. This is justifying, guy. You got two more
wins to me, and you're acting here like you're Dan Byer.
You're nobody from Nowhereville calling me out. You're out of
your mind. Listen back at your justification every week at

(53:01):
this game. At least I own the fact that I stink.
You think you're great and you stink. I guys, I
am gonna whoop your ass and we're gonna play this
game next, says who the.

Speaker 3 (53:13):
Three times more that you beat me in this game?

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Four in about ten minutes, coos on a two game
winning Yeah, let's go big mouth justification.

Speaker 3 (53:23):
I'll bow out.

Speaker 14 (53:23):
If you guys want to do a showdown with each other. No,
because if we don't beat you, Dan, all right, yeah,
well all right. Beating Rich gives me no credibility. Beating Rich,
you know that gives me a low five. Beating you
is something worth bragged. Imagine Michael Jordan dipped out in
the nineties.

Rich and Buyer both on the board. As we go
to the third category, and see how much you guys
paid attention to baseball articles over the weekend, bombs times three.
There have been thirteen games in MLB postseason history where
a player hit three home runs. Oh jeez, you have

(01:01:40):
five seconds to name one of those players who achieved
this feat. By the way, I'll tell you seven of
the thirteen happened after twenty ten players with three home runs.
That's the question again. Okay, So there have been thirteen
games in MLB postseason history where a player hit three
home runs.

Speaker 3 (01:01:56):
Oh, same player hit three in the game. Yes, just
like you know who did.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
I'm not going to that answer away, even though you
know you have five seconds to name one of those players.
All right, Covino, you're gonna be a first starting right now.

Speaker 3 (01:02:06):
Go Reggie Jackson.

Speaker 7 (01:02:07):
Reggie Jackson on the list. Yes, Rich October eighteen, nineteen
seventy seven.

Speaker 3 (01:02:14):
Three two are you I don't even know? Confused with
a question. Yeah, I just I don't remember guys hitting
three home runs in a game in the World's.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
In the playoffs, the obvious one. Yeah, I mean, okay, yeah,
I'm right. Thanks, Danny isn't rigged at all. We'll just
dre's twenty.

Speaker 3 (01:02:34):
Seconds, Rich, and here's an answer.

Speaker 6 (01:02:36):
I mean, he's gonna be at next answers Reggie Jackson
and Joe Otani. So I am out of luck if
we uh, if we go with three home runs?

Speaker 3 (01:02:45):
How about this? Is Chipper Jones on the list.

Speaker 6 (01:02:47):
Scott Spiezio. No, he didn't, he didn't, but I'm just
doing it out of protest for this week. Now he's yes, Okay,
Sam stopped the timer. Let's move to the fourth category.
We throw that category out. I hope the listener understands
like the the the rule breaking in this game, Josel

that round. I just would have won the game.

Speaker 6 (01:03:37):
I want the record to show Rich didn't have an answer,
and Danny goes three to one.

Speaker 10 (01:03:44):
Come on, come on, don't come on the most he
didn't understand the most, the one that just started the
show back what I made exceptions? No way I would
have said out to b I won that.

Speaker 3 (01:03:58):
I appeal. Oh man, you move on.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
You know what, let's say the Times has Coveno been
screwed over by these games?

Speaker 1 (01:04:08):
How about we do baby RB? I questioned from last
week Grandfire's update and then we'll move on two weeks ago,
and he got the point.

Speaker 6 (01:04:17):
DV were we doing saber Staton uh metrics on that
or not, there's no integrity in this game anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:04:23):
Oh geez a, right, Dan Buyer, give us an update. Well,

one standing. Let's go, Josh, you ready?

Speaker 3 (01:04:50):
All right?

Speaker 5 (01:04:50):
All players alive because we only got to do two categories.
Tie break here, no multiple choice. It's whoever comes closest,
So buzz in with your name when you're ready. Let's
talk Manny would how many home runs did Manny Ramirez
hit in his seventeen year MLB career? Think about it
for a second to the matter, such a good one?

Speaker 3 (01:05:10):
Many? Just many and many? Are we doing closest that that? Yeah? Yeah,
it doesn't matter if you're over under whoever's closest. Hey,
daddic is me big puppy? Look?

Speaker 1 (01:05:19):
Hey I like my pink So I look like five twelve?
Okay five twelve, So that you know we're not just
playing like the I'm gonna try to overshoot you. I
wrote downright proof right, five thirty six, I wrote.

Speaker 5 (01:05:30):
For perfect thirty six for Rich Okay, and how about you,
Josh and Tennessee, uh five seventy five? All right, ready,
I didn't answer you. I was looking at him when
I said, are you ready?

Speaker 13 (01:05:46):
Now?

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
I'm going I think he's like in the five seventeen area.
I'm going five to seventeen. Final answer, five seventeen. The
answer is five fifty five. So I think we got
to just wait back here. Wait, what did rich?

Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
I think? Rich one?

Speaker 12 (01:06:03):
Rich?

Speaker 3 (01:06:05):
I won by one? One by one?

Speaker 5 (01:06:06):
Yeah, goodness, by one, Holy schnikey, this is within nineteen.

Speaker 3 (01:06:17):
What can I say? Hard to be a Champ Cavino
one day you'll feel it. I hate to rub it
in and take away from his victory.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
But if you guys, remember I did win the bet
of who would have the most wins this season, Yankees
are the message. Yet if my calculations are correct, rich
owes me twenty one hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (01:06:37):
Okay, plus interest.

Speaker 5 (01:06:38):
It feels good to be a winner. Speaking up, Josh
and Tennessee, thank you for playing the game.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Thank you, joh thank you, Josh, appreciate it. Last one standing? Hey,
wait are you sure? I'm sure?

Speaker 1 (01:06:48):
Was it?

Speaker 3 (01:06:48):
Josh made that bet with you.

Speaker 10 (01:06:49):
I do have to hold in his money.

Speaker 1 (01:06:51):
I want you to to let this simmer. Dan Bayer,
let me know what you think of this deal. I
have a let's make a deal offer for Rich. I'm sorry,
kind that isn't even a deal in well, we have
a plea bargain. So the deal was one thousand dollars
for the best record, right, and there's got to be
a payoff.

Speaker 3 (01:07:06):
We talked about it all season. Yeah, I'm a man
of my word.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
And then Rich, who was feeling confident and brazen about
his Mets, was like, and one hundred dollars extra for
every win over. I ended up winning twenty one hundred dollars.
The Yankees were that much better than the met eleven
games better, and was at one point the Mets had
a four game better record. The late in the season
to the point where I remember offering you like a
pay like, hell, take this. So here's what I'm thinking.

(01:07:34):
Oh boy, Danny g super producer, is always so kind
on our birthdays. He gives us gifts and presents and
one year he gave gift. He gave a really nice
gift to Rich and I had my eye on that.
Like Rich doesn't appreciate that. I would have appreciated that gift.
I don't know why he wasted that gift on Rich ungrateful?

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
Rich On great? What are you talking about?

Speaker 1 (01:07:53):
So now's my chance to see if I can get
my hands on it. On the gift that Danny gave
to Rich years ago for his birthday. My counter offer
to your twenty one hundred dollars that you owe me
since I'm the big winner, okay, instead of twenty one
hundred dollars, I'm thinking, since you're my pal, how about
you give me a thousand? Because that was the original

(01:08:14):
bet in that show, Hey o Tani, rookie card that
Danny g gave you.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
It didn't have a little piece of his uniform show
Hey o Tani. Hell you think about that? Hey, I'll
think about that and we'll chat tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
Until then, or even there you maybe see you in
the Promised Land Games Got show, Hey Otani,
