Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Yeah, it is our pleasure to fill in for Dan
Patrick on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Covino and Richard.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
You heard them.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
We are live from MLB All Star Village in Atlanta.

Speaker 4 (00:17):
Let's go.

Speaker 5 (00:17):
It's the ultimate baseball hot spot and you can be
part of the excitement here at Capitol One All Star Village.
Do today, head to the Cobb gallerya for baseball fun,
live entertainment like us and interactive games by tickets today
at All Star game dot Com. So yeah, Covino and
rich are back day two of the Dan Patrick Patrick

(00:39):
It's always great filling in and we're famous.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
What could you say?

Speaker 5 (00:43):
I mean, Idia saw us on TV last night at
the Derby Bushwhacken.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
I mean, it never gets old. It's it's a tradition
that I will do until I can bushwhack no longer.

Speaker 5 (00:55):
Oh man, it is the best thing we ever started.
This tradition started many years ago. Our goal was just
to get on TV like beaves and butt heead, whether
it be whether it be behind a reporter you know,
on the news, or bushwhacking in the stands. And it's
such a thrill. It's the goofiest thing ever. If you've

(01:16):
ever been on the big screen at a ballgame, yeah,
you know, when you're just there and all of a
sudden you're on the big screen, you just lose your mind.
That's how it is when the home run comes into
your direction. So yeah, there's a sense of showmanship because
we're trying to get on TV, but that's just pure elation,
pure excitement and joy.

Speaker 6 (01:33):
When the ball comes our way. It's the craziest feeling.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
And we just know that the cameras are there, so
we might as well bush whack like Luke and butsch
from WHOA from the WWE. And we got a lot
of airtime last night because we found our way right
there in left field. And what a night. It was
electric last night. We got to tell you all about it.
It's up, Danny g what up? Good morning?

Speaker 7 (01:56):
I think Jerry Wiley on social media he posted this,
He said it best. They got more airtime tonight than
when they were actually on ESPN, And you know what,
I can't disagree.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
He's absolutely right. We had more fun. I'll tell you that.
You know, it was so great last night.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Baseball's really they're really up to something remarkable. They figured
it out, they got superstars. The event was amazing and
again not our first rodeo. This is what like our
tenth maybe home run derby we've ever gone to, and
it was just as exciting, if not more than ever
came down to the wire, small market teams representing so

(02:35):
much to talk about.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, I was just gonna say, there's so many angles
from last night, but let me give everyone the quick
backstory of bushwhacking and Cavino rech Just a quick backstory
so you know what the heck we're talking about. So
like our first derby way he said, maybe ten fifteen
years ago. Yeah, we decided to tell our listeners, you
guys look out for us tonight. We're gonna try to

(02:56):
get on the derby somehow someway Kavino's gonna be wearing
the pinstripes.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
It's like a little like Where's Waldo sort of game,
like I think I see you.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I'm gonna rock like my old school Mets Jersey, so
you'll see us together and if we think the cameras
on us, we'll start doing the bushwhack.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Remember the old WWE wrestlers.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yay, and we did it one year and then the
next you were like, let's do it again, And like
Cavino said, it became more fun to try to unintentionally
get on TV than when we're intentionally on TV or broadcast.
Not only a thrill for us, and it's a double thrill,
the thrill of the home run ball coming in your

(03:35):
direction and you're there sharing in the moment with the crowd,
but the thrill of knowing.

Speaker 6 (03:39):
That all your friends and listeners are going to see
you on TV.

Speaker 4 (03:42):
So it's so funny and.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
I don't know how to dec I don't know how
to describe it because it sounds ridiculous because not to brag,
we've had TV shows on different networks, different you know,
things we've streamed, but sounds like when you are unintentionally
on TV, light there there there's more of a joy.
Like Danny g one time I went with my wife
to a taping of The Bachelor after the final rows

(04:07):
and they pand it on me and my wife like clapping.
More people hit me up for that than anything I've
ever done on my own. So I think I think
people love to see someone they know at like I
guess you would say like a unique event or something right,
So last night.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Home run derby. I will say this.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
We go to the derby with our credential, we have
our press pass, we don't have an actual seat. So
I say, Covino follow me, and I just sort of
go to left field, walk down the aisle and I'm like,
all right, I see some empty seats and like the

(04:51):
fourth or fifth row in left field, I'm gonna sit
there until someone tells.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
Us to move.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
And guess what, Danny g whatever, No one ever came,
nobody ever told us to move.

Speaker 7 (05:05):
You know, it helped that the two guys you chose
to sit next to were wearing bright neon colored shirt.

Speaker 5 (05:11):
Not only that, bro, it's such a small world that
the guy we were sitting next to is like from
the same hometown as Rich, in.

Speaker 4 (05:19):
The same area. He goes, yeah, let's go Mets.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
And he had a Met shirt on underneath his yellow
Neon shirt. And he goes, yeah, I went to I
went to Swanka High School in Long Island. I go, dude,
I went. I went to his competing high school. Like
we lived five minutes.

Speaker 5 (05:34):
You went to Franklin Square carried Carry High and Rich
was like yeah, so again, like what a coincident dance
how random is that. You have to realize Rich is
from a small part of Long Island's random high school.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
We're in Atlanta.

Speaker 5 (05:48):
We're in Atlanta, and they were welcoming of us to
be there, and yeah, it was easy to spot us
because we're sitting next to two dudes in Neon green shirts.
And what an excite event. We've said it every year
and every time we're still coming off that high and
all the feedback because people are like, dude, I.

Speaker 4 (06:07):
Saw you a million times. It was hilarious.

Speaker 5 (06:09):
But it is the greatest sporting event out of all
four major sports. We're not saying World Series, Stanley copp
NBA Finals. We're saying, like, as far as events, it's
the most exciting, or the Super.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Bowl exhibition, it's the best exhibition. Yeah, by far, the best,
most fun you're gonna have.

Speaker 5 (06:29):
If you have buddies you want to have fun with,
if you have kids you want to build memories with, this.

Speaker 4 (06:35):
Is the event to go to.

Speaker 5 (06:37):
It surpasses the All Star Game, I think by a
mile in my opinion, that that's how much fun it is.

Speaker 4 (06:42):
Guys like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
Excited to go. I'm excited to go to the game tonight.
But I told Kevino tonight and we're gonna get to
the derby in a second. Just our observations. If you
go to at Covine on Rich at Rich Davis at
Steve Covino, you could see all the ridiculous photos and
videos of us bushwhacken, but the game itself to And
I said, I'm most excited about the player intros and

(07:04):
the first couple innings. I said, do you know what, Like,
that's what I'm most excited about. The Derby to me
is the that's the pinnacle.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
It'shibit honor, it's special. You want to be there, your
heroes are all together, the camaraderie, you get to see
everybody in one game compete, it's beautiful. The All Star
game is great, yeah, but the Home Run Derby is
just a spectacle.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
It's an event.

Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's fun, it's exciting, and there's nothing like seeing these
dudes just tee.

Speaker 6 (07:33):
Off and hit bombs moonshots.

Speaker 5 (07:36):
I would say, moonshot all night, moonshot, O'Neil cruise, moonshot.

Speaker 3 (07:40):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Now while while rally, while kel rally won, I think
the swing I was most impressed by where I was like,
I've seen this guy play a lot, but watching him
just tee off O'Neil Cruiz, that swing is just something
to marvel at.

Speaker 6 (07:59):
It is like there's extra pop coming off that dude's bat.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
And I thought Rich was gonna sayil.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Oh, we're gonna get to that bro, We're gonna.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
Get to that guy.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
But the feeling of now, Rich and I have never
caught a foul ball or a home run out of
all the games and derbys we've been to. Never Yesterday
two balls came right at us, literally one seat behind us,
literally one seat in front of us. But the feeling
of that ball coming at you, it's like a very

(08:28):
intimidating feeling because this is up there forever and you
feel like the chosen one of fifty five thousand people.

Speaker 7 (08:34):
Like, oh my god, it's coming here now. And YouTube
Jabroni's had the big oversize oh yeah, emotion gloves.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
Oh Covino.

Speaker 7 (08:43):
At least in the photos I saw you, Cove oh
holding the big blue promotional glove they were giving away that.
Mostly you see the little kids holding. Yeah, but here's
Covino and you still couldn't catch the ball on me.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
You're absolutely right, But one came closer to rich than
it did to me, and he said, he'll tell you
shicken down. There was part of me because so the
one in front of me, someone in the row in
front of us call one.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
It was too shallow. There's no way I could have
got it. The one that the guy called right behind me,
I second guessed. I'm like, if I would have jumped,
I think I could have got a hand on it.
But then I'm like, everyone's going at each other. If
I jump, someone's gonna body check me, and I'm gonna
go over a chair because because I'll be honest, I

(09:28):
was like, if I reached up, no, but I would
have had to.

Speaker 4 (09:30):
Like, but stint.

Speaker 5 (09:32):
If you've ever caught a home run, I'm sure people
listening have feels like.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
It feels like a.

Speaker 3 (09:37):
Meteor is falling out of the sky and it's like
what what.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Oh what.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
It's the weirdest feeling ever because you're looking up at
the night sky and all you see is this ball
coming and like everybody else phases you and that ball
and you're like floating towards it and it's coming down
to you and you're like, oh no, it's the craziest
feeling ever. We came so close, but then it lands.
The guy behind us one time right up lost his mind.

(10:02):
He lost his mind.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I thought this guy was joking, Denny, but he was
having almost like an out of body experience, like he
was so like baffled that he caught a ball. I
thought he was honestly bs and it's like he was
goofings faint.

Speaker 5 (10:16):
Yeah, because he was screaming in pure excitement. And guys,
if you want to see our pure joy at his finest,
like truly, the the kid in side comes out just again,
check our social media at Covino and Rich, even at
Fox Sports Radio. You could see all the clips of
us just losing our minds at the home run derby
because it is that fun to be there. Yeah, and

(10:39):
I highly suggest to meet us in Philly next year
and then Chicago after Oh damn, okay, next year's Philly,
huh Yeah, and that's our plans.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
So again, we're Cavino and Rich. We had a blast.
We're excited for the game tonight. But let's get into this.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Congratulations to cal Raleigh Seattle Mariners catcher, the big dumper
hitting big bombs last night. I mean, you knew it
was gonna happen, because I mean, not only not only
did McAfee start the home Run Derby by saying the
guy with the sweetest ass in baseball, Cal Rawley, not
only did you know he came into the derby as

(11:19):
the biggest name in it, I mean he only got
there by zero point ninety six inches, not even an inch.
Didn't you lose a spring break contest by that same march.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
Remember back?

Speaker 2 (11:32):
No, but I was gonna say he came in as
the biggest name in the favor to win. He's the
home run League leader right now, the only guy giving
Aaron Judge a run for the MVP.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
And not only that, he had a premonition.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Dude, have you seen that great video circulating on TikTok
and Instagram where then, this is the cool part about
these athletes being so young, their lives had been recorded
since their babies, because these kids were all born in
the two thousands or late nineties. So you're looking at
a dude who his parents have video of him saying.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm gonna be a home run chap one day.

Speaker 6 (12:07):
And that's just another layer to the story.

Speaker 5 (12:10):
And what makes it beautiful it's watching his kid's childhood
dream come true. And it was a family affair, as
they said over and over again. If you didn't know it,
Cal Rowley's dad was pitching to him, and you got
to think of all those days and years he was
pitching to his kid in the backyard and working for
this moment, and Cal's little brother was catching. And when

(12:32):
I say a little brother, the kid was a monster.
But he was fifteen years old. And they kept saying
that he may have been the MVP of the event
because he was really hyping his brother up the whole time,
coaching him along the way, hyping up the dad like
we got it, like, just really getting everybody involved in
the moment. And again, what a what a amount of

(12:54):
pressure for a fifteen year old kid to be a
part of a Major League baseball home run derby.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
That's all.

Speaker 7 (13:00):
That was one of the most memorable moments when the
time was running out and he got that last swing
off and the catcher you're mentioning kid pops up. Dad
turns around and they're all watching it barely clear the fence,
Oh yeah, barely.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
They all celebrate together. That was one of the great moments.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
It was a night of inches because again, cal Raley
only qualified because he beat Brent Rooker of the A's
by zero point ninety six inches as far as distance,
because it came down to they both tied at seventeen.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
How do you know?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
That's how how do you know?

Speaker 5 (13:34):
And that's the difference between the robots No zero point
zero eight feet again because they both hit a four
hundred and seventy foot bomb, but cal Raley's was a
little bit further and like danyg said, he barely cleared
the fence. Says at Home Run Derby says who that?
Says Elias of the I mean sports Bureau.

Speaker 4 (13:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
So, I mean, let's we all rally family. We all
wanted cal Raley no offense to Rooker, But.

Speaker 3 (14:07):
How do you measure that? Come on, well, it just.

Speaker 5 (14:09):
Adds to his magical season? How much does it add?
We're going to debate that later on, but these are
our observations. What were you yours?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
What made you go?

Speaker 8 (14:18):
Hm?

Speaker 6 (14:19):
From the Home Run Derby last night?

Speaker 4 (14:21):
We were there.

Speaker 5 (14:21):
We're gonna tell you everything we experienced again eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine
on Fox, We're Live from All Star Village. You never
know who's gonna stop by, but we do want to
hear from you. And like I said before, not only
is baseball getting it right and marketing their young superstars
and everyone's pumped about it, as we've been saying baseball's popping,

(14:45):
but the major market teams really had no impact yesterday.
Ye when you think about who had impact, it wasn't
the Dodgers, It wasn't the Giants, it wasn't the Red Sox.
It definitely wasn't the Yankees with Chazz Chisholm's three home runs,
What a stinker he put up. It was all small
market teams, the Nationals, the Twins, the Pirates, Cam and

(15:06):
Arrow with the Tampa Bay Rays, Rooker with the A's.
So it's like all these young superstars from mid to
small market teams that were really stepping up. And it
goes to show you, like, man, there's a lot of
stars in baseball.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Well, you're an American League East fan because you're a Yankee, dude,
there's a lot of people that are like Junior Kevin Arrow,
who that might've been their first look at this. Dude,
if you're not a diehard baseball fan, you might have
not even have heard of Junior.

Speaker 5 (15:35):
You put up a great fight in a great night.
But you know what it shows you rich when you
think of all these young names that are hitting moonshots
and putting on this event last night. The MLB is
setting up to be great for like the next ten years. Yeah,
like seriously, so we could ride this train and enjoy
it for at least another ten years because all these
dudes are so young, and we just hope that more

(15:57):
continue to come up and they influenced more young players
to continue playing baseball. Because these young dudes are really delivering.
It's fun to watch. Count Raley's just another name to
add to the list, Like, dude, what a show he
put on. Congrats again to his family. It was a
very special night. We were just honored to be there.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
I think one of my observations one of the things
that made me go hmm last night at the home
run derby, I think Major League Baseball got it right,
meaning they figured out how to do the derby. Every
year or so, every sport out there changes rules. They

(16:35):
changed the rules for a slam dunk contest or a
three point shootout. There was like the magic ball or
the Golden ticket or ball, Major League Baseball. Remember, it's
been outs, it's been timed, it's been there's been golden
balls at count for more. I love the three minutes
with a timeout reseting after the first round because remember

(16:57):
there were years where like two guys faced off in
the first ron and then had the highest score and
one of them was out. I love the fact that
all eight guys went top four of the eight move
on receding three minutes, leave your hairline out of it
one time out.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
And I thought it was the right way to do it.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
And and the bonus three outs on timed three outs
with the extra out if you hit a ball certain distance.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
I think, as far as the rules go, it moved
and it was fair.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Yes, as far as the rules go, Baseball has it
right coverage wise. The only complaint I was seeing all
over social media last night is people don't like the
way ESPN split the screen.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
I saw that now again, that was after the fact,
and I was going through social media watching all of
our clips of us clowning out in the outfield. A
lot of people were buzzing about, like, come on with that.
The split screen was not the vibe last night. But
congrats again to well, first off, like you said, Rich
Junior Camenaro of the Twins hit fifteen in the finals,

(18:05):
only to come up short to cal Raley who was
just hitting bombs.

Speaker 3 (18:10):
And again, props to his family.

Speaker 5 (18:12):
But your observations, your thoughts, feel free to share him.
I do gotta say that, jas Chisholm. I think he's
just making excuses right now. He said he didn't want
to mess up his swing.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
He don't do the Derby putts.

Speaker 5 (18:27):
He said, he's not worried about it. He had three
home runs and thirty eight swings. As a Yankees fan.
I almost wanted to put a bag on my head
an embarrassment.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Can I tell you it's really funny. But he said
he didn't care. But I mean, you're human and you're
a competitor. There is no way. I don't care how
confident you are.

Speaker 5 (18:45):
I don't care how flash you are, how many home
runs you have, because he does have what seventeen home
runs at the All Star break, Yep, he's an All Star.

Speaker 6 (18:52):
He belongs there. But there's no way he's okay.

Speaker 2 (18:56):
With his And by the way, I say putts lovingly,
Jazz seems like zat It seems like a great.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
He's great for the game.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
But I mean that's sort of a poor performance. In fact,
truth be told, I didn't see it. One time during
the home run derby, we were in left field. I
had to pick a moment because we Cavino and I
were both starving because we did our show. We were
hanging at the fan fest MLB village batting practice, you know,

(19:23):
doing all the little challenges, went home, recorded a bunch
of stuff for serious ExM. But we realized, like, Yo,
did you eat? I'm starving, so I volunteered. I said,
you keep our seats warm, bro, you stay here. I'll
go get us two drinks and what do you want.
I went on a little food run. By the time
it came back, I'm like, Jassism's done and Kavina looks

(19:44):
so like Sao.

Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:48):
During the week, during one of the breaks, they had
some high school students battle Yo in the derby.

Speaker 3 (19:53):
Right now, they're using aluminum bats, but those kids were racing.

Speaker 4 (19:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
One of the kids hit what eight and nine to
win it, and I was thinking, what's what is Jazz
thinking like when he sees the high school kid hit the.

Speaker 8 (20:05):
Kid?

Speaker 2 (20:06):
The kids were teen off that even though they were
using aluminum bats. Even with wood bats, those kids would
have hit some bombs because they were they were strokings.
They had one Carter Bro, they'd be stroking those kids
to I don't think people see that on TV.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, I think it's just for the stadium.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
They have the two high school kids that are going
for the championship and they have one minute during your
commercial break.

Speaker 3 (20:29):
One kid hit nine in a minute and the other
kid hit eight. And they weren't just clearing the fence.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
So aluminum bat, what gives you maybe an extra fifty
feet or so. But these guys are hitting four hundred.

Speaker 4 (20:40):
It's the reason why rich you think you can hit
a home run in a.

Speaker 2 (20:43):
M which is why the challenge with an illumina bat
one hundred percent.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
I could hit a hold on, hold on, hold on pause, yeah, pause.

Speaker 4 (20:51):
You're so full of yourself.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
Is crazy.

Speaker 6 (20:53):
I know you could hit myself.

Speaker 5 (20:54):
Yes, because you always discredit or undermine the pressure involved
in the moment. You think you hit more bombs than
Jazz chislm. He hit three when the bright lights were on.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
So when the.

Speaker 5 (21:06):
Pressure's on you, if we really built up to this moment, yes,
you think you're hitting bombs like there's a lot of
pressure aluminum bat. Okay, but you're forgetting again the pressure
of the moment.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
You're immune to it.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
I guess what Jassism wasn't, But you are what bat?

Speaker 2 (21:22):
In my mind, I'm like, oh crap, what if I
have warning track power?

Speaker 3 (21:26):
But aluminum bat it gives you an extra fifty feet.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Dude, you if you play rex softball or baseball and
you're hitting the ball three hundred feet with you, I.

Speaker 5 (21:34):
Mean better than anyone, you sound like a bozo that
it's a rhythm, so you got to catch that rhythm.

Speaker 6 (21:39):
Is the rhythm gonna get you? Are you gonna get
the rhythm?

Speaker 4 (21:42):
Ud? I don't know about that. I don't doubt the power.

Speaker 5 (21:47):
The fact that you, as a grown man could hit
one out, I get it, But can you hit it
out when it matters?

Speaker 2 (21:52):
And in that moment it was so easy. Jazzism would
have had more than three in my rhythm. In my mind,
it's like it depends on how long you have to
Like if someone said, rich, you have ten swings and
that's it.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Then you're in your head like, oh crap, because you can't.

Speaker 5 (22:09):
But you're all you're also under a time limit when
when you're competing, so.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
But three minutes though three minutes with an aluminum backs
fast damn well man.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
And by the way, how ironic would it be? I
just want to throw it out there to say I
told you that was gonna happen. How ironic would it
be if Jazz Chism, who stunk it up last night
with three home runs and thirty eight swings? How ironic
would it be if he hit one tonight when it
actually mattered in the game.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
You know, it's so funny.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
He's capable of it. We know that I was looking
at DraftKings, but he didn't belong there.

Speaker 4 (22:42):
That I was looking at.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
DraftKings before the derby, and Cavino so adam, He's like, yo,
I think Chisholm might pull the upset tonight, and because
we're in the state of George, I think things might be.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
I don't know what the gambling rules are. I was like, eh,
who cares.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
I was about to put like a hondo on jazz Chism,
because you know, I had a hunch, and I'm like
so glad that that hunt.

Speaker 5 (23:03):
Was built for that type of competition. But I thought
he would come through, just based on the way he
swings right, yeah, and how he's throwing seventy percent into
his swing just to make good contact, put goodwood on
the ball, but he stunk it up. Not to take
away from the actual winner. Congrats Seattle, you have a superstar,

(23:26):
the first winner from Seattle since Ken Griffy Junior. When
your name's put in that company. You're having a season,
and the first catcher, first switch hitter I believe to
ever win the home run derby.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
You see that picture, the beautiful picture of cal Raley
as he's winning, was taken by Ken Griffy r So,
which I thought was cool.

Speaker 7 (23:46):
At one point last night everybody stood up, fans of
all different teams and tip their caps.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
To it was a cool thing to see. Now it is,
it's cool.

Speaker 3 (23:57):
And what a season he's had. It's a one.

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Does that add to his MVP A lore We'll get
to that later. We have a lot to get to later.
And like I said, you never know who's gonna stop by.
But we had a great time. The pictures prove it,
the video proves it again. Search at Covino and Rich

a little baseball, football, basketball, whatever you're into, because what
would you give up if it meant your team could
win it all. Now we're gonna give away prizes today.
We might do some trivia, so stick around. But Rock

(26:36):
Party was in the news at the end of last week.
I believe we're sitting there in the studio. We're watching
Rock Purdy being interviewed. We're not listening, we're just watching it,
and we're saying to each other, Look how young he looks.

Speaker 4 (26:47):
Man.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
It looks like a schoolboy, his kid. I think he
had his hat on backwards. He's sitting there. And the
caption was, I'd do a year in prison if it
meant my team could win it all.

Speaker 6 (26:58):
I'd spend a year in the big.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Hose for a Super Bowl.

Speaker 5 (27:02):
And just the other day we were talking to some
baseball fans, obviously, and Jaron Durant came up of the
Red Sox, and according to Red Sox reports, Jaron Durant
has pledged that if they won the World Series.

Speaker 6 (27:20):
Which isn't gonna happen. I mean they're streaking, but beat.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
It right, I mean they've won ten in a row.
I mean the Yankees fan you are.

Speaker 5 (27:27):
So of course you're gonna say, Jaron duran the Vato
Loco forever pledged to donate fifty percent of his World
Series bonus the charity supporting children who love baseball but
can't afford to play, should the team win a World Series,
so he'd give up half of his bonus.

Speaker 6 (27:45):
If they won it all.

Speaker 5 (27:46):
And it just got us thinking, well, what would you
give up if it meant your team could win it all?

Speaker 2 (27:50):
I think those two examples are so extremely different.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
Rock Perty said he'd go to jail for a year.
I mean he needs it.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Duran said he'd give up like bonus, half of his
bonus money that I don't know, but Kavino, if Duran wins,
that's money he wouldn't have got anyway.

Speaker 3 (28:07):
Brock Perty saying he'd go to the big House.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Still meant to be a nice gesture.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Bro He didn't like make that quote in hopes that
rich would dump on it. It's meant to be like,
you know, if we win, I'm giving up charity. It
wasn't meant to be a bad thing. I get what
you're saying. It was meant to be a good thing.

Speaker 2 (28:22):
That would be like if you told me, hey, Cavino
writch you guys win the award for a coolest guys
to fill in for Dan Patrick. And I'm like, well,
you know what, I'm gonna give half of my little bonus.
I didn't even think was coming to a good cause.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
It was still yours, Gunberger, still your money. You don't
do anything, but you don't have to give it to anybody.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Brock Perty said he'd go to jail.

Speaker 5 (28:42):
You want to get the sacrifice, I'm just giving you
the two recent storm.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
All right, I'll give you. I'll give you something we
did years ago. We were in New Orleans.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
In fact, I remember, by the way, why do you
got me defending Jaron Durant. I don't care about that.
Ask clown anyway. All right, let's go back to twenty thirteen,
twelve years ago. I remember that because I was in
New Orleans with you. My forty nine ers lost the
Super Bowl.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
That year is the Battle of the Harbaja Brothers.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
And I remember you and I were on Bourbon Street
having some hurricanes, probably looking at some booties, doing our
usual communale rich thing, and we were asking people on
the street as a bit how long would you give
up six if it meant your team won NBA Title,

(29:28):
World Series, Super Bowl?

Speaker 3 (29:30):
And I'd be shocked.

Speaker 2 (29:31):
There are some guys that I questioned if they even
cared about their team, because like not a day and
I'm like, man, this guy must be getting lot of booty.
Then other guys said things like a year years and
some years years.

Speaker 5 (29:44):
I mean, you have to question two where they're getting
any to begin with.

Speaker 4 (29:47):
But there's some guy hearing a lot of that.

Speaker 5 (29:49):
I was surprised to hear that people would be willing
to do that for a year if it meant their
team one.

Speaker 6 (29:54):
He's like, man, you're really desperate for a win.

Speaker 4 (29:56):
Huh.

Speaker 2 (29:57):
I think Brock even eluded with busting with the Boys
that he may give part of his pinky finger he'd
cut off part of his pinky finger on his non
throwing hand.

Speaker 5 (30:07):
Well, it's like a major burden. It's like a major
monkey on your back. If you have to play your
career not getting to that promised land, not winning so again,
to win one and then play the rest of his
career out, that would mean a lot. To a rock party,
you know, it's one thing to get there, but it's
another thing to win it all.

Speaker 4 (30:28):
So I think that would mean a lot.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
Clearly, a guy like you, what if I told you
you're going to put on like ten pounds if the
Yankees want.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
No, I won't do it. No, I won't do it.
You know, I spoiled the Yankees fan.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
How are you all right?

Speaker 5 (30:42):
Coveno and Rich here at All Star Village.

Speaker 6 (30:46):
And it's a pleasure.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
It's so cool because we bring this guy up often
on our show.

Speaker 6 (30:52):
I'm proud to say that. Let's welcome Brian Jordan.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
What's up?

Speaker 6 (30:58):
It's Atlanta Royalty.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
We bring you up because I feel often your name
is not brought up enough enough when people talk about, oh,
you see what show hail Tony's doing pitching and hitting,
and then everyone goes well Bo Jackson and Dion and
I'm like, and Brian.

Speaker 4 (31:13):
Jordan, yeah, man, you feel a little birthed by that?

Speaker 10 (31:16):
Or tell everybody I'm the Rodney Danger Feeld, the two
sport athletes. I get no respect, man, But you know
I've always been that way, being humble, just going out
and doing my job and going home.

Speaker 4 (31:27):
Man.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
And uh, you know, like I tell everybody, I didn't
get the exposure that those guys got a college level,
you know, go to a smaller college and.

Speaker 4 (31:35):
Is that what it was?

Speaker 3 (31:35):
You think?

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Well?

Speaker 10 (31:36):
That and I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle
in the Senior Bowl.

Speaker 4 (31:40):
So here it is.

Speaker 10 (31:41):
I was first round in Major League Baseball by the Cardinals,
and I was supposed to be first round in the
NFL until that injury. Broke my leg dislocated my ankle
in the Senior Bowl. In the first quarter of the game,
I started running across the field to make the big
hit on Cleveland Garrier University of Miami back in the day,
and damn, my own teammate took me out.

Speaker 4 (32:02):
So it was a different route for me, you know,
because for.

Speaker 6 (32:05):
Around a different time too, voting was different.

Speaker 5 (32:07):
Like imagine if social media is the thing for all
we know, he could have been dancing on TikTok. Yeah,
you could have been the most personable of all the
guys who know, and.

Speaker 4 (32:16):
You asked Ian about my dancing. It's awful, but.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Hey, maybe you would have been more famous because of that.
We don't know exactly, but dude, you're still a legend.
The thing is, you're more of a when we talk
about these things, a zinger when it should be an automatic.
But we're gonna make it that way because anytime someone
brings up bo Jackson or Deon Sanders, Brian Jordan should
be in the conversation easily, pro bowler, All Star, a

(32:41):
guy that did it all. And you played in the
big leagues for fifteen years, dude, and so it's not
like you just uh were there for a couple of
coffee and left.

Speaker 6 (32:48):
You were there for a long time. To eighty two
banning average.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Which by the way, nowadays is that's like, oh my
three two.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
I mean the league average is like two forty right now.

Speaker 6 (32:58):
What do you think when you hear that?

Speaker 10 (33:01):
It's the game has changed tremendously where you know, back
in our day, strikeouts meant something, right, and you didn't
want to strike out and you wanted to win the
ball game, so you did whatever you sacrifice for the team.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
You know, we don't see that anymore.

Speaker 10 (33:15):
It's about you know, launching launch angles and everything else.
So analytics has taken over.

Speaker 4 (33:22):
You know.

Speaker 10 (33:22):
I played for one of the greatest managers in Tony L. Rooster,
who was to me analytics before it was analytics because
he used to.

Speaker 4 (33:29):
Save all those numbers.

Speaker 10 (33:31):
And I remember I was hot as a Tamali man
as far as I was on fire hitts and I
came in and my name wasn't in the lineup, and
I go into Tony's office.

Speaker 4 (33:41):
It's like, dude, what's going on? I am hot man?

Speaker 10 (33:44):
And he said, while you're hitting so and so off
of sid and uh, I'm going to start I'm like what, Yeah,
but he was analytics before they were and you know,
now hack all the Harvard boys in town and it's
nothing but analytics. Man, man, so get the ball in
the air. No more ground balls. And that's so different

(34:05):
from when we played man.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
So, yeah, I wonder when you just said that when
you weren't in the lineup. I always wonder those days.
Is it a nice break? Or when you're a competitor,
do you want to play every day? Like if you're
like I'm a Mets fan, if you know, you go
to the ballpark, it's like, oh, you know, Peter A,
Lonzo's sitting that day.

Speaker 3 (34:23):
He doesn't want to sit, does he ever? Or no?

Speaker 10 (34:25):
No, no, I mean our mindset is you want to
play every day, every day. I mean, but reality is
your body's gonna get tired.

Speaker 4 (34:31):
You might need a day or two. You know.

Speaker 10 (34:32):
You look at Olsen here, who's played every single game
in the last two three years. You know, that's unheard of,
the cal Ripken. I don't think anybody's ever gonna break
that record. That's just amazing.

Speaker 4 (34:46):
Man. To be able to play every day, is that's
something different anyway?

Speaker 3 (34:52):
I mean, dude, any questions for you?

Speaker 5 (34:55):
Yeah, one hundred and eighty four home runs right, one
hundred and eighty four pre home runs. If you were
swinging for the fences all the time, if you played
in today's game, probably would.

Speaker 10 (35:03):
Four hundred home right at least, man, But that wasn't
my game. My game was I'm gonna use all my
tools speed, you know, depending on the game, the situation,
I'm gonna get the guy over or drive him in
hitting the ball the other way.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
That just doesn't happen anymore.

Speaker 10 (35:19):
Man, If they don't want you to put the ball
on the ground, which is crazy to me, So yeah,
I will be trying to launch every I wouldn't care
about strikeouts like these cows. I'm swinging for the fences.

Speaker 5 (35:29):
When you have all these skills, again, they put you
in great position in the NFL and MLB. Who were
you most proud to play alongside and against?

Speaker 4 (35:39):
Wow? Well, Andrew Jones, who's with me? Should be in
the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
Say that guy was there was a point in time
where he was like a gazelle outfield and he was
hitting bombs like and he.

Speaker 3 (35:50):
Was so young.

Speaker 10 (35:51):
Yeah, I mean, you look at his numbers though, and
he still hit over four hundred home runs. He was
one of the probably arguably King Griffy and one of
the best center fielders.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
And you know, we can go way back and Willie
Mays too.

Speaker 10 (36:04):
So I mean, he was one of the best center
fielders in our time. So defense a loan should put
him in the Hall of Fame. In my eyes, I
hope he gets in. But playing alongside here was just
so much fun.

Speaker 4 (36:15):
Man.

Speaker 6 (36:16):
And again, say, who do you often bring up like?

Speaker 4 (36:18):
Man? I can't believe I competed with that, No, Barry Bonds, Man, Man, don't.

Speaker 10 (36:23):
I don't want to cuss on air, but man, he
was one of the freaking best hitters ever.

Speaker 2 (36:28):
Man Berry Bonx recently said, though he thinks the only
guy in his category.

Speaker 3 (36:32):
He said he thinks King Griffy Jr.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
If never injured, would have been the best player of
all time.

Speaker 4 (36:37):
K I agree.

Speaker 10 (36:38):
I agree that swing he had, Man, and you know,
just his his attitude. I mean every ball you hit,
he wants to catch. I mean, that's that's the way
the game is supposed to be playing. Now, guys, let
those balls drop because they you know where the agents
are saying, stay healthy, stay on the field.

Speaker 4 (36:55):
You know. But we played reckless. Man.

Speaker 10 (36:57):
It was like laying on the line. We're winning today
and uh a little different.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Being a You're a guy that played football and baseball
on the highest level, at.

Speaker 6 (37:06):
The highest pro bowler and All Star.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
What feels better hitting a bomb or picking the ball
off sacking a quarterback?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Like?

Speaker 3 (37:14):
What is the what is the sports feeling that? That?

Speaker 10 (37:16):
That's tops mine is hitting the damn receiver coming across
the middle. I love the hitting part. Man, forget to intercept.
If I intercept the ball, pissed it back to Dion anyway, man.
So no, it was about hitting for me. I was
one of those safeties. I love to hit and Uh.
I used to tell Dion, I don't care. I don't
hit the guy as long as you cover intercept the
ball in school and that's all I care about.

Speaker 4 (37:38):
Man, I gotta bring this, uh.

Speaker 5 (37:40):
Brian Jordan hanging out with Covino and Rich we mentioned
Dion Sanders. We mentioned Ken Griffy Junior, we mentioned Barry Bonds.
As a baseball fan, I think in my bedroom, I
think of guys like Willie Randolph and Dave Winfield. How
do we get more black players involved in MLB because
it's so much excitement there.

Speaker 3 (37:56):
There were some of my heroes growing up.

Speaker 10 (37:58):
Yeah, and that was the everything about this week is
being able to manage the HBCU game for me, you know,
to meet those black players who don't get the exposure
that they deserve. And you know, here at truest part,
these guys showed that they can play this game at
the highest level, right and they performed very well. So

(38:19):
hopefully we had some scouts there to see that and
some of these guys will get an opportunity.

Speaker 2 (38:24):
But is it the path to the pros that made
that because NBA NFL seems like there's more of a
clear path to the money and the pros where baseball.

Speaker 4 (38:34):
Baseball is a grind.

Speaker 10 (38:36):
And I remember when I first decided to play Major
League baseball.

Speaker 4 (38:40):
I got drafted by the Cardinals.

Speaker 10 (38:41):
I'm at Ossie Smith, will and McGee and those guys
and they're teasing me. You know, hey, you know, baseball
is where it is, and I'm like, man, you guys
are whimps football players, man, we hitting and crushing each other.
My first full season of baseball, I remember going back
to Ozzie said, I had a new respect for you guys, man,
because it's a grind. One hundred six two games is

(39:02):
a grind, and it's the hardest game I've ever played,
you know, to be consistent every day. So but I
still football was my favorite love, the game of football, bute.

Speaker 5 (39:13):
But it seems like, as I'm gonna quote Dean Sanders,
your boy, baseball's popping right now, so that might top.

Speaker 10 (39:21):
I'm mad at my parents for having me so early. Man,
I playing this day and age Colley. You know, it's
having one hundred million dollars for player.

Speaker 3 (39:30):
I was looking.

Speaker 2 (39:30):
I was looking at some of your sweet signing bonuses
and like, unfortunately, the money now.

Speaker 3 (39:35):
Is a lot different.

Speaker 10 (39:35):
You know it is, man, And you know, kudos of
those guys. I mean, man, that's where the finances are gone.
I mean to me, major League Baseball is doing really,
really good when you look at these big contracts going
out and the whole nil and everything has changed the
whole landscape of sports. Man so man, I have an
eight year old, a thirteen year old. Now you know,

(39:57):
I can't help but think about, man, we.

Speaker 3 (40:00):
Got the skills to get there, because we just saw
that the draft this year. Famous games.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
They're like, you know, every everyone we grew up with
their kids or nephews are now, you know, getting drafted.

Speaker 4 (40:10):
You know.

Speaker 10 (40:10):
And I had two older boys, and I never pushed them,
you know, because I knew the grind and I knew
I didn't want.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
My kids to have to go through that.

Speaker 10 (40:18):
But now it's like, you know, my next three boys
coming up, I'm like, man, you better grind, you know,
because the opportunities are there. You know, we didn't have
those opportunities. Kids today have those opportunities, So you got
to grind your kids, man.

Speaker 3 (40:33):
Brian Jordan hanging with Cove no Rich.

Speaker 2 (40:36):
Baseball football, Both games have have evolved and changed.

Speaker 3 (40:40):
What's uh? Which one do you think more so?

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Because you said you love hitting the receiver going over
the middle, which you can't.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
Really do anymore.

Speaker 2 (40:46):
You were playing small ball when you had to, not
really the game anymore. Which have you seen change more?

Speaker 10 (40:51):
Both of them? Yeah, you know, especially and I understand NFL.
You have to try to make the game safer. Uh,
it's tough for me to watch some of those.

Speaker 3 (41:02):
What a great hit in the flag comes out right.

Speaker 10 (41:04):
And I know the it's all instinctive in football, you know,
So it's hard to sit here and try to teach somebody.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
Oh, you gotta put your head to the side.

Speaker 10 (41:13):
But when you go on one hundred miles an hour
with that reality wise, you're gonna make hits.

Speaker 4 (41:18):
Helmet the helmet, it's gonna happen.

Speaker 10 (41:20):
So I don't think those guys should be suspended and
all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (41:23):
Man, it's gonna happen.

Speaker 10 (41:25):
Yeah, throw the flagging fifteen yards, but don't penalize the
kid and take him out of the game in a
big college game when you need them the most.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
I hate that rule.

Speaker 10 (41:34):
But you know, technology is taken over, so all the
different equipment and everything else are getting examined in baseball
and football. So the world is changing, so you know
sports is gonna change too.

Speaker 5 (41:48):
All Pro nineteen ninety one, All Star nineteen ninety nine,
The game, All Star Game is tonight. Tell us about
the excitement of playing in an All Star Game, the
feelings you have.

Speaker 10 (41:59):
You know, it's an honor to be able to play
in an All Star Game represent your organization. But I'm
gonna be honest, man, that ninety nine All Star Game
was probably one of the best ever to have Ted
Williams in the golf cart. Come on, remember that was
the the greatest players in the middle of the field
before the game.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Didn't get any better than that, man.

Speaker 10 (42:18):
But I must say, although I enjoyed making an All
Star Game, when you got one hundred and sixty two
game season, you almost what those three four days just
spend with your family, man. But I enjoyed it. I
brought my family and it was a great experience.

Speaker 6 (42:35):
But I was like, man, and you're an All Star
for the rest of your life.

Speaker 10 (42:38):
You are all for the rest of your life. And
all I needed was one talent. I don't want to
make it again because that those four days are important.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
Man.

Speaker 5 (42:45):
You probably got some great I mean, the footage is there,
but some great pictures from those moments and all those
legends that were there.

Speaker 10 (42:52):
That was that was one of the best home run
derbys you can even imagine with Sammy Sosa, Mark McGuire,
King Griffy Jr.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
Lay Bonds, uh A Rod was in that one.

Speaker 2 (43:04):
I mean, can you understand why why a guy like
Aaron Judge or Show Hey or Pete Alnzo would sit
it out or do you think those guys should be
encouraged him, like get in there, because that's what.

Speaker 3 (43:13):
Ruined the slim dun't contest the stars.

Speaker 10 (43:17):
You know, you know what the difference is now dcuys
are making so much money you don't want to risk it.
You know, agents are telling them, now it's gonna mess
your swing up, you know, stick with you know, look
here talking about M v P.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Judge.

Speaker 10 (43:31):
I mean, the last thing you want him to do
is going to slump swinging for the fences and.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
Six.

Speaker 6 (43:38):
He's incredible circus numbers. It's ridiculous.

Speaker 10 (43:41):
It's almost like he's still playing old school baseball. He'll
take his walks, he'll hit the home runs, but he
hits for average. He'll get he sacrifices for his team.
He takes the walk and scores with his speed. I mean,
that guy has all the tools in the world. I
love Aaron Judge and he's a very humble player. That's
the greatest thing about him.

Speaker 3 (43:59):
He says he follows that they're a cheater.

Speaker 4 (44:06):
Well, that's one of the best to follow for real
now not too bad off the field.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Jeter's resume with the women equally.

Speaker 10 (44:15):
I I'm staying out of that, but I'm staying out
of that one.

Speaker 5 (44:18):
Hey, last night was the derby. It was electric. You know,
we had a great time. Jazz Chisholm hit three home runs.
Can we talk about the pressure involved.

Speaker 10 (44:27):
It's a lot of press And I was matter of fact,
I was in the suite doing that whole one derby
and I was with a New York Yankee fan and
I looked at it and I said, take that New York.

Speaker 4 (44:41):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 5 (44:42):
You think he is beating himself up a little bit
today or hes.

Speaker 10 (44:46):
Man, that's some pressure able to when you're a home one,
not so much a home run hitter, like knowing for
your power.

Speaker 4 (44:55):
But he's a great player.

Speaker 10 (44:56):
It's different when you're in the game situation and somebody's
throwing miles an hour when you're just reacting. But with
the pressure of you got it's like BP coming at
you and you gotta muscle those home runs out.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
It's tough to do. Man, I'm telling you.

Speaker 5 (45:11):
I got one last question, so I know you're a
busy guy. They roll out the red carpet for you
here in Atlanta. Man, you're the guy of all the
athletes today. You played again baseball and football. Who else
could you see doing that if they would allow that
in today's world.

Speaker 10 (45:28):
Mike Trout is one guy that really felt like looking
at his body, looking at his speed, looking at the
way he handles, handles himself.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
That was my guy to be able to play teak
right now.

Speaker 2 (45:40):
What about when Jerry Jones said that Lebron could be
his tight end any day?

Speaker 3 (45:43):
Do you think Lebron could play?

Speaker 4 (45:45):
Yes? Yes, man, I'm never gonna discount Lebron. Man.

Speaker 10 (45:48):
Lebron can do whatever he wants to do. Man keeps
hisself in great shape.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
You know everybody shape you retired and what.

Speaker 6 (45:58):
You never know some guys when retire you see it
all the time.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
I know, I know.

Speaker 10 (46:02):
But you know, I still got little kids right around.
If you're busy, I'm not gonna let them outrun me yet. Nice,
I'm still I still got it.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
Brian got one last question, Brian Jordan here Coveno on
Rich what uniform do you think you look the sweetest
in football or baseball where you're like when you put
it on, you're.

Speaker 4 (46:18):

Speaker 3 (48:21):
That's we've been the nation that we're playing for the
first time. Yeah, let's do this All Star Trivia.

Speaker 7 (48:25):
Let's go, all right. Samuel L. Johnson back in the
LA studio, I will say I'm firing up some MLBAT music.
Here we go, all right, And by the way, also
back home is Big Mike who doesn't run anything.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Hi, Big Mike.

Speaker 8 (48:41):
Hey Mike, Hey guys, you guys sound like you're having
a great time in the ato.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Mike, if you want to see us having a good
time at Covin and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. We
got so close to Oh I've seen it all. We
we got so close to getting a fly ball last night.
Did you ever have you ever caught a flyball?

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Mike? I, Oh, my god.

Speaker 8 (48:59):
I've been to hundreds of baseball games in my life
and I have never caught a foul ball. But I
came so close one time, and I'm so still to
this day, I am livid about it because it's just
there's not a lot of people in the stands that day.
I'm at a Dodger game. So this fly this foul

(49:20):
ball is coming straight to me. I mean, I don't
have to move, there's nobody in front of me. There,
I got it. It's coming right to my hands. The
only person near me is my buddy, And you guys
miss the air quotes that I use there for buddy,
because right as the ball comes down, he shoves me
in the back and the ball bounces off my forearms

(49:43):
lands a couple of rows away, some little kid picked
it up.

Speaker 4 (49:46):
And I turned to him. I'm like, dude, I was
about to.

Speaker 3 (49:48):
Catch the ball, and he just lets it.

Speaker 8 (49:50):
He goes, yeah, you were in my way. Man.

Speaker 3 (49:52):
I couldn't get it, so neither were you.

Speaker 2 (49:54):
Let me tell you when the ball can you not
describe it in the first hour perfectly? When a home
run ball or foul ball is coming at you, it
feels like no one else on earth is there, and
it's like coming out of the sky, getting bigger and
bigger and bigger, and it's it's right there.

Speaker 5 (50:07):
And you know what makes the story crazy. You said
there was no one really there at a Dodgers game.
That's because this was a foul ball from Duke Snyder, right,
Duke Snyder hit it? And yeah, because Mike's really just
kidding Mike. No, okay, okay, Well, hey, Big Mike, lets go.

Speaker 7 (50:27):
One of our contestants that you need to battle against
the bushwhacker Cnar, the other two contestants, and Big Mike,
I'll use you for this as we go to the
C INR studio lines right now, would you love to
travel to beautiful Connecticut, Los Angeles, Seattle, North Carolina, or
Laguna Hills, California.

Speaker 3 (52:22):
I want to give Darren a chance. Darren, come on,
chime in, buddy, Willie Mays.

Speaker 4 (52:26):
Yes, Rich is on the board.

Speaker 7 (52:29):
It is the great Willie Mays, so CNR.

Speaker 4 (52:32):
Both with the round.

Speaker 2 (52:34):
Yes, like Willie Mays and Hank Aaron are probably two
of the top like All Star numbers.

Speaker 3 (52:40):
Right as far as like appearances, Yeah for sure.

Speaker 6 (52:42):
We Hank Aaron played one hundred and twenty years.

Speaker 4 (52:43):

two All Star Games in each season.

And thank you Darren and Seattle. Thank you for playing

Thanks Darren, Thank you guys.

Speaker 5 (54:13):
Hey play again next time we do trivia. We try

a nice review, say something nice. Danny t goes through him.
If he ever emails you back, you get a swig here, right,
So thank you guys again.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
Hey, I wonder if Mike remembers what it was like
when all men wore fedoras to baseball games.

Speaker 4 (54:39):
I know, yeah he does. I think he does. You
know you're still there working.

Speaker 3 (54:48):
I remember remember when not all stadiums had a fence,
and the and the fans are just.

Speaker 8 (54:53):
We're standing outside looking through the not hole in the
fence and.

Speaker 4 (55:00):
Thank you buddy.

Speaker 2 (55:00):
Hey Mike, seriously, I mean remembers when Joe Jackson wore shoes.

Speaker 5 (55:05):
Yeah, when he was actually Joe Jackson, the guy with
jos All right, well, thank you, yes, yes we are absolutely.

Speaker 6 (55:12):
All the proof is at Covino and Rich see us
last night.

Speaker 5 (55:16):
Now, part of the magical Derby story is that cal
Rally you alluded to this earlier. Rich cal Rally has
childhood videos of him saying I'm the Derby Champion. He's
dancing around and singing that he's the Derby home run
Derby Champion. He looks like he's about ten years old
singing around on his home video and last night again

(55:40):
family Affair and dad's pitching fifteen year old little brother
T is catching and it's kind of cool to see
a childhood dream come true? Are there other stories that
come to mind when it comes to man they called
that when they were kids.

Speaker 2 (55:57):
I saw a video has nothing to do with sports,
but I recently video that went viral. You may have
seen this as well. Some like preteen girl is doing
like a home video in the nineties and she's like,
I'm gonna marry Matt Jones. You'll see and they're playing
it like fifteen years later at her wedding to the

(56:18):
dude she had a crush on Matt Jones And I
was like, holy crap, like.

Speaker 6 (56:23):
That, like, that's just a great prediction.

Speaker 4 (56:25):
Is it? Kind of like like stalker ish? That's what
I was saying. You're just do you Like, she's really persistent.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
So those those videos are pretty cool when you see
But that's what makes it extra special, right, Like, here's
this little kid who had these big dreams.

Speaker 4 (56:42):
We all had those dreams.

Speaker 2 (56:43):
We all said that, well, I mean some of them
is because you just have an opportunity to be in
a cool spot. Like we just said recently, Dusty Baker's
kids playing in the bigs and we remember him being
pulled out of the way he almost got run over
in the World Series back in oh two.

Speaker 3 (56:58):
A little boy is a bat boy, And you know,
we see the videos.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
Of Patrick Mahomes shaggan fly balls when his dad Pat
was on the Mets, and you see him with these.

Speaker 3 (57:07):
Oversized shirt and hat on, and you know, he's just
a little boy.

Speaker 2 (57:12):
But you're, like I said earlier, you're gonna see it
more and more and more because the athletes now have
grown up where most of their life, iPhones and androids
have been a thing. So where you may have one
grainy VHS tape at home of like one little league game,
you know, now with like game Change and all these apps,

(57:33):
every game these kids play is recorded and streamed and everything.
So we're we're gonna grow up and we're I guarantee
we're gonna see a lot of cool stuff like that
moving forward.

Speaker 5 (57:42):
Well, look, growing up around the game doesn't guarantee you
a pass into the big leagues. Cal Rowley didn't grow
up around the major leagues. But you know, we were
talking to Chet Lemon Junior, chet Lemon's son from the Tigers,
just off the air.

Speaker 3 (57:57):
He was just hanging out. He was saying that.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
Growing up, that was his dad, and it really didn't
register to him that his dad was dad impactful. I mean,
we all had his baseball cards, all those famous eighties Tigers, right.
Didn't really dawn on him how impactful his dad was
until he got older, yea, and he realized what his
dad was able to accomplish. And that's a really cool

(58:24):
story when you think about it. But yeah, guys like
Patrick Mahomes, they grew up around it and you see
their dreams come true. Are the other stories that come
to mind where you saw that superstardom, where you saw
that random childhood video that led to something cooler. I
wouldn't say this is like a video of a premonition,
but you ever see that viral video of a little Prince,

(58:45):
the artist formerly known as Prince when.

Speaker 2 (58:47):
He's like interviewed on the news. You ever see that
and he's just a little kid. He's a little boy
in Minnesota. Yeah, he's a little boy in Minnesota where
like a winter hat. That's how I imagine the video.
I haven't seen it in a minute, but they it down.

Speaker 5 (59:00):
It's like a little Prince talking to the reporter about
a local story in Minnesota, and he's like, yo, look
at him.

Speaker 4 (59:06):
Man.

Speaker 5 (59:07):
He would have never known that he'd become the biggest,
one of the biggest pop stars of our time back
when he was just that little kid. He may have
dreamt it and thought about it, but no one would
have ever known the same way cal Rawley's dancing around
being like, I'm gonna be the home run Derby Champ.

Speaker 2 (59:21):
I enjoyed nothing more. In fact, I wish I could
give the Instagram page a shout out.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
Let me see.

Speaker 6 (59:28):
And by the way, I don't think it's like common knowledge.

Speaker 4 (59:30):
Look it up.

Speaker 5 (59:30):
There's because the video surfaced recently after Prince's death to
my knowledge, that he was on the local news as
a kid, and that's why it was a story. Someone
was researching old video and they happened to come across
this video from this little kid in Minnesota and it
was Prince.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
So are there ones that come to mind?

Speaker 5 (59:52):
Feel free to share eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox because that's what makes the cal rally think even
more special and magical surface and They were tugging on
the heartstrings with that video all night, and it's been
all over social media since.

Speaker 2 (01:00:04):
There's a there's a page I follow on Instagram. During
the break, I'm gonna try to find the name of it.

Speaker 4 (01:00:09):
Rich in your.

Speaker 2 (01:00:10):
Yearbook you sort of called it, didn't you or one
of your friends did? No, one of the Danny g
This is I'm not even joking what my ex girlfriend
in high school wrote in my high school yearbook. I
ask you not, she wrote, and I've showed conveniece, I've
seen it. Yeah, she wrote like it was like nail
on the head, like.

Speaker 4 (01:00:28):
You're gonna be a bush whack or something. That's exactly
what she said.

Speaker 2 (01:00:32):
No, she wrote in my ear book like like I
believe in you, babe, like you're gonna be You're gonna
move to LA and become a famous broadcaster.

Speaker 6 (01:00:39):
No, I'm not even joking, right, So we're still waiting
for the famous part.

Speaker 5 (01:00:43):
But I mean she was like what the broadcaster bought? No,
but I remember reading it Rich and yeah, it was
like dead eye. Well, no, remember how like your high
school girlfriend would take up like the whole page of
your yearbook cover.

Speaker 6 (01:00:57):
I read it and I was like damn and that
was pretty accurate. That's pretty good, you know.

Speaker 2 (01:01:01):
Interestingly enough, I said, I'll find this page and give
you the heads up on it. But it's an Instagram
page that finds like the first performance of famous rock
bands and pop artists and they'll show like the clip
I just saw recently the Killers performing Mister Brightside at
a bar in front of like twenty people. I saw

(01:01:23):
like Mumford and Sons with like their little jug band
performing in front of like five stars somewhere at a
coffee shop.

Speaker 3 (01:01:29):
You've seen that recently.

Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
You've seen it with Taylor Swift, but most recently Chapel
Roane who does Pink Pony Club. There's that cool video
where they show it's like a split screen where with
it with like two years ago she was playing in
front of what twelve people at a state there and
then in front of like one hundred thousand people at
a music festival. So I always think those things are
cool because you know, everyone's on their hustle at some

(01:01:53):
point athletically musically, and that to me is awesome.

Speaker 3 (01:01:57):
It shows the hard work.

Speaker 7 (01:01:58):
And really quick to take it back to sports with this.
Davante Adams when he was a kid. There's that famous
picture of him rocking the Charles Woodson jersey and there's
like a thought bubble above his head that says life goal.
And so when he joined the Raiders. He's a ram
now obviously, but when he joined the Raiders, that was
so awesome and Palo Alto kid. And we've seen this

(01:02:22):
in sports, in all sports, where they go back and
they find the pictures of the kid wearing the team
that drafts him, or they wind up play.

Speaker 2 (01:02:28):
Oh, we've all seen the Tom Brady wearing the Joe
Montana catch game. But in he was talking about receiver.
Do I remember I'm around Saint Brown. There's video of
him like working out in the garage with his dad
as a little kid, lifting weights and he's like, I'm
gonna be I'm gonna be in the NFL one day.

Speaker 5 (01:02:44):
You know, like you gotta envision it, you gotta see
it to believe it. You gotta see it to make
it happen. And to see these childhood dreams come to
fruition like they did last night. As corny as it
sounds for kids watching put it in that perspective. It
shows that your dreams can come true and that's what
made it more of a memorable, magical moment
