Speaker 1 (00:01):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Yeah, that's right, all right,
here we are Fox Sports Sundays to show the most interactive,
most inclusive show on Fox Sports Radio. Number one weekend
show according to us, according to me and my friends.
Thanks for being one of my friends. I'm Steve Covino.
That is Rich Davis Covino and Rich Spotty's here. I'm

(00:25):
Brown in the house. Danny Gee, I was Sam looking handsome?
Thank you guys. Everyone's everyone want to We're having a
Sunday night party. Thank you for being here at our fiesta,
Cavino and Rich. As we get ready, did you see
the game two? Bro? Did you see the Sager cartwheels
in the news? Right know, everyone's excited. You know what though,
it feels like we've waited for six days for Game two,

(00:48):
so I'm amped up. It's a must win as far
as I'm concerned for Golden State. Before we get into
NBA Game two, we wrap up this Mets Dodgers game.
Come on, Mets, put up, put up for them? Come on,
why don't you put a little way d on it?
You and Danny g bets is up to bat two,
two and two counts Like the loser has to send
karaoke here live on Fox Sports Radio, and the winner

(01:09):
picks the sock. I want to hear Danny saying, by
the way, the Mets took the lead in extras five
to four, Dodgers trying to they're trying to score their
automatic runner at the second base. Hindsight, Danny g but
the Mets, you get that extra runner starting at second
and extra innings. The Mets led off the tenth with

(01:29):
a double, So now you're up five four, man on second,
no outse and I turned to you and said they
should manufacture the second round, bump them over, trying to
get a sackflice something. But they didn't. They were swinging
away that week. Baseball man, what the Buck Show Walter series?
You think he should have bumped them over sloly, especially
against the Dodgers. Man, you played a win that If

(01:51):
you could be up six four going into the bottom
of an inning, even though they get the guy in second,
that's to me, you've got to manufacture that second run.
Play small ball there. But hey, Mookie, bets bases loaded,
And like I said, did I say full count on
full count? Full count? Come on? Gets here? Well, we'll

(02:11):
keep you posted on that he pops it up right field.
I don't think that's enough to take up new to
our show. Rich is clearly a Mets fan. I'm Steve Covino,
the Yankees guy. We're from the East Coast out here
in l A. Danny g is a Dodgers guy for sure.
So thank you guys for hanging out with us. We'll
talk some nonsense. We'll keep you posted on not only

(02:32):
the Dodgers game, but like we said, game two of
the NBA Finals. And speaking of the Dodgers, Rich, we
went to a game this week, so we gotta give
you the update on that because I was shocked, bro
shocked at how much money I spent by myself. I
was paying for me and me only. I didn't go
there with anybody, no kid, no date, nothing, just me.

(02:56):
And you'll be shocked to hear how much I spent
what I think is just a regular night at the
ball game. You didn't tell me what song you want
Danny G t s in karaoke. If the Dodgers loosen,
you don't close your emo. Are not kissy leave? So
I just want to hear Danny hit those loans and
there's no like befo, I could do some tone look

(03:19):
for you. Oh here we do some funky coma diners,
two outs, man on third. So it's up to Trey
Turner and then we're moments away from the start of
Game two, which I mean you said it best man.
I feel like we're waiting week to week like an
NFL Sunday. Yeah. Off the air, we were talking about
that with Danny g who's on the phones by the way,
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Danny g Don

(03:41):
Brown on the phones, be dialing, get involved, eight Fox.
It really is an extended NBA Finals. It's almost like
it takes the steam out of it. It really does.
I feel like I feel I know it hasn't been
but I feel like it's been six days since Game one.
I feel like it's been long. I'm like, seriously, when
was the game one? Yeah, I was like, we gotta

(04:02):
wait till Sunday. Wait. That huge Celtics fourth quarter wasn't that?
That wasn't Yeah. Let me give you a quick reminder
of what happened. Golden State Warriors were up by twelve.
You might have forgotten there was two months ago in
the fourth quarter and the Celtics outscored him by twenty
four points, so it was a fourth quarter to remember.

(04:23):
But looking back, it looked like Golden State Warriors were
just gassed and the young legs and the stamina of
the Celtics just prevailed. So maybe you we'll see something
a little different, paste themselves a little different. Who knows,
but it just looked like beat him at their own game.
It looked like the Celtics beat him at their own game,
but also that the Golden State Warriors just ran out

(04:45):
of energy, look tired. So we'll see what happens in
Game two. Exciting. There's something going on right now where
I'm pretty sure Catcher's interference should be called against the Mets.
When the batter swings, it hits the atri's glove in
any capacity, it's Catcher's inference, correct. I think they thought
that it hit Turner's bat, and if it did, then

(05:07):
whatever happened after that, the replay looks like it did not.
You know what. It brings up a question I actually
wanted to ask you guys. This is great because the
NBA game hasn't started yet. We'll talk some baseball, we'll
talk NBA, maybe even a little football. Um, Devin Haney,
undisputed champion. We'll talk some fight. Devin Haney was Devin Heiney.
But one last night talk good one. You like that one?

(05:31):
Good talk some fights and how you guys stood me up.
I invited my buddies over to watch a fight with me.
Doesn't matter how good the fight is for your friends
to come over. I think the better question is it's
didn't save this. The better question is how official is
the invite? I mean it's always official. Like when you
go out and you you buy drinks and and you
buy chips and saucea hoping people come over. You know

(05:54):
you think that people stop by just for a little bit. Well,
well for me, we'll explore this deep thought from Steve Camino.
But as they go over, this play in Major League Baseball,
and this is such a great This couldn't happen better
because it's actually what I wrote down. Now in Major
League Baseball, or in the NFL, or even in the NBA,

(06:14):
all sports, they have the ability with the highest of
high tech cameras. Let's go to New York for the call,
Let's go to UH Let's bring out our experts, and
they have the ability to see every play from five
different angles in the highest definition like close up, like look,

(06:35):
you could see every millisecond of trade Turner the ball. Yeah,
he's on first base, that ball hit his hit the glove,
and he hit the bat hit the glove. Now, I
was playing softball today and this is just something that
I gotta ask you if you think this is wild.
In slow pit softball, as anyone knows that plays the country,

(07:01):
that's where the picture throws really high arc and there's
no called strikes like by a strike zone. If it
lands and bounces on the plate strike so all to
be a strike, it just needs to get the plate,
very simple rules. The umpire missed it, which seems impossible.

(07:21):
But he's an old guy umpiring in southern California on Sunday. Well,
nothing against old people. I love them. They all have
a place in my heart and in society. But I
don't know if they belong, you know, on the field
calling plays, or even in the booth. Sometimes Sally Jim
carry a dumb and dumber server purpose. Yeah, I don't know, man.
Some of these old dudes who I love don't get

(07:42):
it twisted. They just you know, they lose a step
here and there, and it starts to become sad a
little bit, you know what I mean. It's like they
overstay their welcome and there's nothing against them. But yeah,
there's there's a bunch of stories in the news. Jim
Cott John Sterling is always saying something, um sometimes as
you wonder, is it time to step the umpires. They
can't see like they used to. I mean, but this is,

(08:04):
like I said, Sunday rex softball in the valley here
in California. But the guy I used to see that
clear he missed the ball hitting home plate, meaning it
was strike three. The guy took the pitch and it
hit the rubber plate. He starts like walking back to
the dugout dejected, like I can't believe I struck out
in softball. We were like yeah, stirred out like ball.

(08:27):
Everyone looked at each other like, you know, is this serious?
This old guy was like first a ball. But they
would go on to then score five runs that ending
and we lost. I don't want to sound ages, but
again that's a clear indicator that he's not you know,
it's not in the game. But my question to you
is when you're playing stupid Sunday softball or wreck basketball

(08:48):
or something. Isn't there something we said that you could
just be like, hey man, we saw the call. Gentleman's
agreement like that was strike three? Let's or are you
gonna take the word of the eight year old umpire?
Like don't you think at that point every grown thirty
four year old guy that's waiting softball should been like, yeah,
but Blue missed it. Let's you know, it depends how
competitive it is. That's really what it comes down. Blatant

(09:09):
miss I mean the umpire is there for a reason,
strike three Mets when the game All right, so now
risk can focus. Let's go on national radio. Right, alright,
six hundred radio stations has xm E three riches here
because he probably has money on the Mets. I didn't.
I didn't bet, but I will say for every National

(09:30):
League Baseball fan, there's got to be a good feeling
knowing that if these teams play in October, which you
would hope just for the good of baseball, right, Dodgers Mets,
what a matchup? They split a four game set to
two to two to powerhouse teams. Dodgers got the first two,
Mets got the second. I think it's safe to say
that the Dodgers are the best team in baseball. That
lineup is perfect. They're just stacked with talent. They just

(09:53):
split with the Mets, who did not have Mets are
a great team. J're a great team with great leadership,
leadership they've needed for the past thirty years. Courtesy of
Buck Showalter, who view as a former Yankee, so I
get him all the propts in my first dumb question,
as the Celtics have an early lead eight five over
Golden State. If you're playing into mural rec league, whatever

(10:16):
you're doing, whatever the way, you're being active as a
grown up. If the umpire makes a bad call, don't
you think the people playing should be like, hey, he
missed it, or do you think you're taking the word
disrespect the umpire at that point, like over foot turn
his call is at the whole point to get it right.
And that's why they have on a major league level,
every even level, they don't get it right all the time.

(10:42):
Times where it's like wow, they have instant replaying, they
still didn't get it right. And if you're playing pickup basketball,
you know, like a rec league, or you're playing softball,
and let's say some guy's foot is blatantly out of
bounds and everyone sees it except the ref. Aren't you
gonna be like a ref like you missed that one?
Like or do you play on with the bad call
all when when there's no go to New York, there's

(11:02):
no fans, there's nothing like, it's just a bunch of
grown men playing, Like, hey that I play on because honestly,
I feel like the refs and like those rec leagues
and stuff like that, you can't say anything to an
NBA ref. Rec refs definitely aren't letting you talk to
him that the ego is crazy, Like they're not. They're
not admitting to the bad call, So I just keep

(11:23):
you pushing. I just to me, it's it's a wild
thought that they're not admitting to it. But I would
be like, no, come on, like what I'm saying. Yeah,
the guys on the other team are like, yeah, I
like done brown here because I'm if I'm at just
because I'm I feel like I got away with one,
you know what I mean, Like life has a way
evening out and I just I just got one. I

(11:44):
got a break right there. You know. You know many
times you probably got a bad call against you feel
like I got If it's not, though, don't you look
kind of like a punk exactly what? I'm like, Hey, man,
I thought you throw your hands on Let's say let's
say you're you're playing, you're playing softball, and you're left field.
Dumb you make a diving catch. I think if you're
in it to win it, you're dumb to go against

(12:06):
the umpire at that point. You make a diving catch
and you clearly trapped the ball. It's not a catch
like you drops, but you know, eight year old umpires
trying to sell it. Like, but everyone, including your teammates
and the other team was like, yeah, the ball. Think
that's slightly different because you can do the theatrics in
a right different But if this ball is clearly on

(12:26):
a line though, but this is a ball bounces on
home plate and slow pit softball, clearly a strike. You
hear the rubber thud ball and I'm like what. We
all started walking on the field and the other team dejected,
Lee like was like we were out of the ending
and they kept playing just a dumb thought, like I

(12:47):
see a lot of kids, because that is the reason
we lost. They went on to score five runs after
the story. Yeah, so you lost because of that? Oh
well that's a horse of a e in color. It's
like like that. And again you say, like does it
really matter? Like you see you ever see these videos
on TikTok matter? You ever see the videos on TikTok

(13:08):
and Instagram and social media where there's like some parents
yelling at a little league ump and you see, you
got you got that concert in mind of like, hey,
they're like eleven out where an umpire canceled the game.
You know what, I get paid thirty bucks? Right, there's
a viral clip as of today where there's an umpire

(13:31):
fighting with one of the parents and then he just
calls the game before fits the game. Parents wouldn't shut up.
You and I both w we we joked about this.
We never realized we both did it. But when it
was like a teenager, umpiring little League was like a
part time job. I had. I remember making like fifteen
or twenty bucks the umpire Literal League game. It was
fifteen bucks behind the plate, ten bucks in the field.
You spend a few, you know, hours, You try to

(13:54):
do two games, two or three games a day on
a weekend. Great job, free hot. Then what a what
a great job for like a fifteen, sixteen year old
kid part time umpiring when you're when you're loving baseball.
But do you remember, even when you were like a
fourteen year old umpiring, there was always that one a
whole parent that was yelling at you. Where to God? Rich,

(14:18):
I swear to God? But no cap? What do you mean?
No cap? No bs, no bs. I was thirteen years old,
me and one of my buddies. You know, we're fresh
at a little league, right, but we had a bit
of a reputation. We were good ballplayers. But I was
only thirteen and had to throw a coach and a
parent out of a game at thirteen, Like, me and

(14:40):
my buddy were like, we're gonna do this one by
your arm and you're throwing parents out of a game.
Swear to God. Actually had a year yeah yeah, ye,
so yeah, I threw through a parent and you think
you're out of a game? You a Me and me
and my buddy who were umpiring that game, like we're
I guess we got a this because it was clearly blatant.

(15:02):
They were giving us a hard time and even more so,
like we knew we were kids were like, I can't
believe they're giving us such a hard time. We're kicking
him out of the game. You know what, if you
guys want to open this up eight seven, seven, nine
nine on Fox, let's talk about the umpires, the referees,
the parents, the wreck leagues you're playing because I gotta
I'm thinking of all these dumb stories. About a week ago,
I saw some guy lose his mind. There was it

(15:26):
was like a regular you know, your basic bad call
when you're playing wreck sports. The guy the guy's dad
was in town. So some old guys sads like bad call, Bluona,
they're terrible your stick, get some glasses like Then the
guy turns to the crowd and goes, I don't get
paid enough for this bucks, So you guys could all
shut the f up. One of the guys on my team,

(15:47):
hotheaded type of guy, loses it with the whole like
you can't talk to my father that way, gets in
the umpire's face like I'm like, yo, the umpires an
old dude, chill my dude, and on play Sunday softball?
Who needs this headache? Man? No thanks, I was chilling
lamping all day. I don't know, but listen. Anyone listening
that has kids in sports. It's a problem. All these

(16:10):
videos am Enrique Planzo was umpiring that strike. Not only
do I see this all the time in the news now,
but my former post Clay Travis, was in the news
recently because he got thrown out of his son's little
league game for arguing he's one of the assistant coaches.

(16:30):
That's embarrassing, dude, especially at that level. Look, and I
know literally gets competitive, but that's that's when the parents
are more passionate than some of the kids playing. That's
where you have some problems. Well, we will take your
feedback at eight, seven, seven, nine nine on Fox Sunday
hanging with Covine and Rich. Right here on Fox Sports Radio,
we got Boston up sixteen eleven over Golden State. Boston

Rich is super ant because his his especially just beat
the Dodgers split them up to I mean, I forget

(18:23):
that you were eating out of a very expensive Dodgers
ice cream helmet this weekend. I saw you that that
is true, so threw me off a little bit. We'll
talk about some of the game prices. Old people in sports,
we have lots of nonsense. And by the way, in
the beginning of every hour tonight will be live streaming

(18:45):
some of it some of our broadcast on our Instagram
at Cavino and Rich if you want to join us, guys,
but we'd love to hear from you. At eight, seven, seven,
nine nine on Fox. Let's say what's up to Dakota
and Kansas. What's up Dakota? Hey, how's it going? Guys?
What's up man? What's up your mind? Well? I just
wanted to play Devil's Advocate for the parents a little bit, uh,
just to kind of explain where I think they're coming from.

(19:07):
I mean, obviously, by the way, just hold on, just
to explain, let me will be refresh. We were talking
about parents losing their mind at kids sporting events and
when you're playing REX sports, Like, you see a lot
of grown men yelling at umpires and referees when they're
playing adult REX sports or when they're in the stands
at their kids literal league games. So what's the line

(19:30):
for yelling at umpires and referees? And if Dakota is
gonna play Devil's Advocate, can he play in the style
of Keanu Reeves? I was gonna say, Pacino, Pacino or
you're Dakota, who are alright, alright, Well, I you know,
I obviously a lot of them take it too far.
And and for rex sports, I think what I'm about

(19:51):
to say doesn't apply it. But for parents, I think
some of that emotion comes from, you know, it's that
age where you're just you're just trying to teach the
kid that you know, hard work pays off. You're trying,
you know, maybe you just talk the kid into, you know,
to get staying on the team, doing the morning practices,

(20:13):
doing the wind sprints, and so when you see how
to get out there and see a blown call, I
can see where that emotion kind of might bubble up
a little bit. And you know, obviously a lot of
them it's out there. Look just so you know, we're
all parents here, right Uh Oh, I'm a parent. Rich
is a parent. So your heart's on there out there
with the kid on the field. There's no question, but

(20:34):
get a grip because you're just embarrassing your kid at
that point. But but I know what he's saying, and
that's the best Devil's advocate. Yeah, I I understand completely, Rich,
I really do you don't want to see your kid
done wrong. Right, I'll be Kiano, But but what if
your kids less that? Not everything goes your way? Man,
I got it worse than you guys. I'm a step parent.
That means I can't hit my kids. So no, but

(21:01):
Danny's right. Um oh, when you do see your kid
put in work and they get done dirty on a
bad call, I get the emotions. But of course we
got to always keep in mind. Who is the umpire
for a little league game or even adult rex sports?
You know who it is? A young kid himself or
like an old timer who's like, yeah, I do this
to make you thirty bucks on a Wednesday night or something.

(21:22):
That's what I do. I'm a retired guy. Does that
guy need the grief of you telling them Matthew, you
stink blue and get some glasses, and the parents yelling
at him because I don't think he has like no
one's paying him off, you know what I mean, Like
he doesn't have an agenda. He just made a bad call.
So it happens. I do, I know it because Rich
is right? You know, I mean to look at Cobra Ka,

(21:44):
I didn't, uh didn't who tried to pay someone off,
not Chris Terry Silver, Verry Silver, Maine. What's up, Andy,
you're on coven On Rich guys, I want to talk
about the umpire or question. But just just first, I
was nine years old in the nine when the Mets
won the World Series and my literal league coach took
us to Shave Stadium. I grew up in New Jersey

(22:06):
and I'm a life butt Hailson's playing shortstop. I was
a shortstop. I'm a lifelong Mets fan. Go met. Yeah,
but listen, I did a lot of coaching, mostly soccer,
but I did some umpire baseball umpiring as a young man.
And here was my case. I would say to the
kids when I was coaching, Listen, you're playing under sixteen
travel soccer. Think about the difference between you and the pros.

(22:29):
That's the same delta between your referees and pro referees.
You're making mistakes all over the place. They're going to
make them to get over it. That's white. So you know,
I think that you know the Dakota there. I get
his point, but really, come on, it's if a kid,
if a kid walked to win Spence because he has
a bad call against him the kid. I think a
much bigger lesson is look, not everything breaks your way. Yeah,

(22:54):
you make a great play, and a person with without
a bad temper would handle it like an adult. You
know what I mean? Said dad who flips his lid
and like goes off, goes buck wild on the on
the umpire does something wrong with that. You ever see
some of those clips where it's like a little league
game or softball, or it's like baseball or softball little
league where the pitch is so blatantly outside and no,

(23:17):
I'm like strike three and people start losing their mind.
It is fun to watch the parents lose their mind,
like bat Dad on South Park. I get it, but
I get you don't have to be happy with the
call rich, right, that's part of it. But the come on,
the famous one that's going around social media now though,
is that one where the umpire is like, hey you,
I'm done over. You think twenty or forty bucks, thirty

(23:43):
bucks whatever you're paying me the little league umpire? Do
you think that's worth my dignity? And you yelling at
me beat it? I'd say, sorry, hey, kids, you know
why the game's over. Your parents stink scram alaa ding dong.
This game is canceled. What do you mean canceled? You
heard me over Tim in Kentucky. It's up, Tim, Hey,
how are you doing? Um? I want to I wanna

(24:06):
correct you about stating about uh slow pitch stopball on
the strike zone. I first want to let you know
that I'm a diehard Race fan. I think they're they're
starting to go in the right direction. And it's it's
as much as I know the Mets. After July, they'll
find so many of blowing they they traditionally do it.

(24:31):
Don't you worry that the Mets traditionally do blow things,
So I'm not too confident. Don't worry. Okay, Now, I
ran a church softball league in um Louisville, Kentucky h
for uh twenty years and I umpired for like the
last five and according to you triple let's say rule book.
And this may be different other parts of the country,

(24:53):
but if a pitch goes hits any part of the
home plate other than the outside black outer part they
called the ball, then you're you're playing something. You're playing
some weird game. I don't know what you're talking about. Him.
I love you though this is the slow pitch up

(25:13):
all there's no the strike Zonner as if the ball
drops and lands on the plate or that corny extender
you know we're talking about, right like, it's the plate
in that corny ark if it hits the plate or
that corny extend. Only time that doesn't applies if the
ball is too flat. But yeah, for real, So that's

(25:34):
what is Bruno in Brooklyn. You got corrected though, But
he's tired in the foremost was he talking about today?
It sucks. I only get to hear you guys one
day a week. I get your Sunday nights here. Hey,
I appreciate that. We really appreciate that. But we're on
Patreon dot com, slash and Richard you never you never
know tell tell the buss is where you want us

(25:55):
every day? Yeah what I was gonna say, what what's
your normal time? Slide? Every every morning we do a podcast.
So at love being here, man. Is the most fun
we have all week. That's the goal, man. I love it, man,
and I'll be turning in too. Hey, just real quickly
off from the other side of the uh played here,

(26:15):
no pun intended. I was a ref and uh I
did high school baseball and basketball, and you know, years
ago you'd have somebody who was I rape but never
got you know, basically in your face or whatever. Then
I got more progressed, and now I gotta tell you
it was weird. I uh, I refed the baseball game

(26:36):
and my parents waiting in the parking lots for me.
So I mean that's how it is town. Did you see,
by the way, Bruno, thanks for the called Brooklyn. I
lived in Burridge for a couple of years. I love
Brooklyn Bruno. Danny J. Have you seen this clip, Don Brown?
Have you seen the clip where the girls softball they
get so mad, They get so mad at a blown
call that the girl calls a pitch, a high fastball,

(26:59):
and the hatcher moves out of the way and they
just drill the umpire. No, I've never seen that these
girls were malicious, like it was a bad call, strike three,
Like he's like walk well four. The next pitch they
give each other a look. The girl throws some windmill
high as heat boom right the umpire's grill. Ye, people

(27:21):
are wild. Well. I want to tell everybody to hang tight,
keep your tonys on or take them off. It's a
hot Sunday afternoon. So you know, stay stay there. We'll
get your phone calls. Next, let's see what's trending with
Steve the Singer, Hi, Steve Hello. Game two of the
NBA Finals well underway. They're late in the first quarter
in San Francisco, and the Boston Celtics, who took Game
one on the road, are leading twenty two to nineteen tonight.

(27:42):
Jalen Brown from Cal thirteen points for the Celtics. So far.
They started five of five shooting as a team in
this game. Meanwhile, Golden State stars Steph Curry and Clay
Thompson a combined two of nine shooting in the first quarter.
Games three are three and four effect in boss to
Wednesday and Friday. Utah head coach Quinn Snyder stepped down

(28:03):
after eight seasons and six straight playoff appearances in the NHL.
Tampa Bay on the board in the East Final, beating
the New York Rangers three two. Rangers up two games
to one now. Raphael Nadal won the French Open and
straight sets. Billy Horschell took the Memorial by four strokes.
Joey Logano won the NASCAR Race. As for Major League Baseball,
tonight to the sixth. In end, Cardinals tied to two

(28:25):
at the rival Cubs. Mets wound up winning again at
Dodger Stadium, this in ten and ings five to four,
two runs bottom of the ninth for the Dodgers to tie,
and then the Mets won in the tenth anyway. Yankees
one again, Ian ten at Angs five four can Yankees
Steve I did the meth before, Zava. I'm like a
I'm like a standing stat neard. For some reason, you

(28:47):
have the Yankees. If they win a couple, if they
go on a little streak. Right now, let's say they
win the four of the next five or something, they
are on some like almost like two out of three
win pace. The Yankees can win hundred and fifteen to
have the most home runs by Yankee ever, like well
over sixty right now, he's on a pace for sixty two.

(29:08):
It's thirty eight and fifteen is the We've just started June. Meanwhile,
the Angels lost their eleventh game in a row, closer
gag this one at Philadelphia nine seven Phillies. They fire
the manager this weekend and get to play the Angels
all as well. With the world back to you. They
want today. So the Yankees are now thirty nine and fifteen,
and if you if they win one more, let's say

(29:28):
so there and fifteen. I know you don't pay one
sixty five, but that would be a pace of one
twenty and sixty five. So you know, take away three games,
they could win one hundred of fifteen plus games. Yeah,
but there's a lot of great teams, so right now
the winning percentage is better than Yankees. Yeah, it's really wild.
It's fun to watch, I'll tell you that. Again. There's

(29:50):
a lot of great teams, like we've pointed out rich
two of them just played Dodgers. One of one of
the conversations we had the other night when we were
actually sitting at the Dodgers Mets game, was if Aaron
Judge continues having this type of season, and if you
remember he bet on himself and did not take the contract,
what do you think the limit is? Like, are we

(30:10):
gonna see like something stupid? Well, here, by what's the money?
It's gonna be limited on how many cities could even
afford him. So he's limiting the cities he could even play.
So it's like, well, Aaron Judge be a Yankee met
a Dodger red sock, Like that's really it, because who's
gonna they're paying in a luxury text. There's only five teams.
There's only like, yeah, like five teams that could even

(30:32):
afford the money he's going to be value. Is someone
gonna give him like five years to fifty, like fifty
a year? Do you think that or that not enough years?
Do you think you want more years? Like a three
hundred million dollar deal? No? Why would you would if
you can get ten, eight, ten, twelve like some people have?
You take that? Now? Yeah, that's especially for you. You know,

(30:53):
it's not a guy who hasn't ever been injured either. Jeez,
what a season, you know, talking about Betton on yourself.
It's totally working his advantage right now. But you know
what I want to get back to all the phone
calls about crazy umpires and coaches and parents losing their mind,
but he said, Snyder quit is the coach of the
jazz And what's interesting, he said, you know they just

(31:13):
need something new, new culture, knew something. Have you ever
removed yourself from a relationship, a job, of a hook up,
a girl or anything where you're like yeah, because I
just know it's not right or do you wait for
it to fall apart? Like this guy is saying, like,
you know what, I know, I'm resigning. I know that
I'm just not the right fit anymore. That's a hard
thing to do, it is, but it's the manly thing

(31:36):
to do, right, I know. I know it's part of
being a man. How often? But how often does that
happen where someone's like, I'm removing myself because I know
I'm not what the answer is? Have you ever done
that to a girl? Like? Yeah, didn't Jerry McGuire do that?
So what? He took the stuff and he left? But
I don't know if that was the plot line. It
wasn't the who Who's coming with me? Wasn't that part

(31:56):
of it? Was fired. It's been an since I watched
I felt like, um, I still gotta watch Top Gun.
I watched it. It's on Amazon Prime and catch up
minutes since I've been in the Danger Zone. You know
what I realized if you watch the original Top Gun,
which is on like I said, Amazon Prime right now,
I've never seen any movie. My wife and I were
cracking up. They play Take My Breath Away by Berlin

(32:18):
like six times, and Danger constantly. My wife and I
were like, Yo, that is so old school that they
must have got the rights of these two songs. And
she's like, do they have to pay every time they
play it? Because it's the fifth time we've heard to
My brother's nievable. Should have take that bet with Dan?
He would have to sing it right now. Danny g
um Andy in Maryland's what's up, buddy? Hey guys, thanks

(32:40):
for taking my call. I appreciate it. I'm actually I'm
gonna speak on behalf of like two different perspectives. I am.
I am an official. I appreciate women's and girls across
UM in Maryland and the New Jersey and New York area,
and I agree with regards of parents being a little
overbearing at times. And and something that we've developed through

(33:01):
the us lacross is basically developing rules like points of
emphasis for this year is sportsmanship on behalf of the parents,
the coaches, the players, and it emphasizes that and we
actually we penalized teams say, for instance, that parents are
on the sidelines going bonkers. We penalized teams for that
they have to take a player off the field, have

(33:22):
to play short for a game. UM and I think
maybe other sports could benefit from have their had their
being penalties for parent dake Korum on the sidelines. You
know what, By the way, everything you're saying makes great sense, Andy,
I think like the only problem because I agree parents
are out of control. Grown men playing REX sports out

(33:43):
of control, but no one, I also think is out
of control. This notion we have of like if the
umpire or referee set it, it's set in stone, like
they have some type of overruling. Like like again, if
you're if you're playing REX basketball and some guy is
clearly out of bounce and everyone sees it, and and

(34:03):
the reps like I mean, they're the plaid officials of
the game. You know, just because you're a fan or
you're more passionate, you don't get the overturn it um.
That's what they're there for. Look an element. And by
the way, the Golden State Warriors. So they're up, I
believe thirty one thirty And we're gonna get to more
of your phone calls. By the way, phones are hot

(34:24):
right now, so we appreciate that. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox get to all your phone calls. Next,
we are Cavino and rich Dan Brown on the one,
Don Brown, I said, Dan Brown, Don Brown on the
ones and twos, But Danny G's and the Fox eight
seven seven nine on Fox Fox Sports Sunday, NBA Finals

(34:50):
game to Golden State up thirty one thirty second quarter,
a lot of time left were Cavino and Rich I
hope you had a Devin Hainey sort of weekends so
far victorious and undisputed sort of weekend. I hope your
pals came over to enjoy the game with you, unlike mine.

(35:11):
Thank you guys for being here with us. It comes
down comes down with them. He is a grown man
that doesn't understand how plans work. Sure, sure that's it.
Sure that's how it is. But anyway, um, let's go
to the phone. A viral clip we all saw today

(35:32):
is this umpire forfeiting a game because the parents and
the coaches wouldn't shut up. So who suffers the kids?
That's really what it comes down to. Shut your mouth,
be a responsible adult and know that not every call
is gonna go your way, and you know, little Gregor's

(35:52):
is gonna get a bad call once in a while.
It happens. It's life, and that's sports. But I do
understand on the flip side that there are games of
more importance. You know, scholarships involved, things like that. I
wonder you like Sunday softball, you're talking about rich or
you know little league baseball. Give me a break. Should

(36:13):
not be fighting with an umpire. You could, you could
get a little scene. I don't even check your head.
I don't even think getting chippy is worth it. It's like,
what do you you want? It's some old guy that's
making twenty bucks to umpire a game. It's just you know,
they're gonna make mistakes. However, could you know My other

(36:33):
point was when someone makes a mistake that's so blatant,
why are we taking some rec league? Some rec league
or little league? Umpire's word is the final word, Like
if everyone, if everyone in the whole place, if everyone
in the home, everyone has agreed that this is the
guy in place to be a neutral guy who makes
the calls. The example I use before, Let's say a

(36:57):
guy's foot is blatantly out of bounce, and everyone on
both team sees it. In fact, they start proceeding as
if out of bounce, turnover, and the refs like no,
I hate the answer but it is the answer is
the human element in sports. You know, hire robots. If
you don't like it, you can hire robots. Roots on

(37:18):
Fox is our number. We're gonna talk about the prices
of a Dodgers game, because we went to the Dodgers
game this past Friday. I gotta break it down for you.
It's crazy expensive plus old people. We'll talk some most people,
people making plans with your buddies and plans, and we'll
keep you posted on game to Celtics took a lead again.
So who do we got rich? I think we're gonna
go say what's up to Freddy in New York? Freddy, Hey, Freddy, Hey,

(37:41):
what's going on? Guys? What's up? Buddy? Not much. I
played ice hockey and instructed ice hockey in tennis, and
how many times did me or my dad ever talked
to the referees of coaches was zero? If you know,
I always made sure I won the game enough that
the rest call didn't make a difference. And as far
as the direct leagues and other guys playing, you just

(38:02):
go out to have fun, drink beer and don't even
worry about the calls, and like you're just lucky. Somebody
is willing to show up for you know, twenty bucks,
and you aude great attitude for a New Yorker. And
I'm a New Yorker. You know, as a kid, I've
been out here. You know, we've been out here seven
years now, I've been out here. Um, But Freddie, I
thought about this, and I'm like, you know, any time

(38:26):
I see a guy flip out, I'm not even junking.
This sounds terrible to say, but every time I see
a guy flip out when I'm playing softball or from
basketball to Jim, if I see some guy who loses
his cool, my first thought is like, man, he must
hate his life like I must. I automatically assume like
at home. Honestly, if some guy at nine thirty a
I'm on a Sunday morning is arguing about soft I'm

(38:48):
assuming he hates his kids or his miserable someone at
home was squeezing his shoes, as they say, if he
is taken out this anger on eighty year old you know, Harold,
who's the umpire, then this guy's wife must have just
bosted them around, must have told them as junk was small,
must have did something, and he's like, oh, I'm gonna
go point soft, Paul. I want to take it out

(39:08):
on someone like I always feel like the guy that
flips out got bigger issues. Yes, absolutely think about that.
Emmett an Olympia. What's up? EMMITTT? Because you know Rich
Danny Don, what's up, guys, it's the crew, It's the crew.
What's up Emmitt? What's up? Man? Now? I just want
to say about the whole umpire thing. Is I used

(39:29):
to like in middle school. I'd like, I was like
the manager of the jay Z basketball team, and I
would there there's these like couple sets of parents for
different schools, and they would get so pressed over the
rest call and I'm just like, to me, that's just
a little crazy because it's literally middle school, and like,
if I'm the umpire, I'm getting paid like whittle to
nothing to do all these games and stuff like that.

(39:51):
I don't want to take crap from these angry soccer
mom Karen's or Daren's whatever you want to call him.
I don't want to take crap for that, So I
kind of don't blame that. I but then at the
same time, you have to look at it as like
a kid. You know, you're you know playing your sport,
you know, baseball or whatever, softball, whatever it is, and
you know so you know, well these soccer mom or
baseball dads gets angry at it. You know, as a

(40:13):
kid get in your game, just quit and you can't
finish it. I have a new stance after I heard
all the feedback. I want to make enough money. I
want to step up our role here at Fox. I
want to make enough money where I could just pay
off all the umpires for every game my kids playing. Like,
here's an extra sildom a c note, Like I'm ted
das kids kids will win every game. That'll teach your

(40:36):
kid great lessons in life. Yeah, good idea. Money talked.
We have more commute on Rich Next on Fox Sports Radio.
Hang tight, Oh yeah, let's go our two of the show.
You missed any of it. Catch our podcast on Fox

(40:57):
Sports Radio dot com or the I Heart Radio app
if you're listening on s x M eighty three. So
a stomping grounds. That's where we're from, Serious sex m
where Cavino and Rich happy to be here. On Fox
Sports Radio. Fox Sports Sunday, our favorite night, as the
Golden State Warriors again take the lead forty forty with
about five minutes left and a half forty after a

(41:22):
three point shot from Wiggins. That's Rich Davis, the human
Can you like the human cannabis shout out of a
cannon too? I love that though. I just sit here
and listen to you ramble. You know, it's uh, it's
gonna be hard to beat Golden State two times at home.
Should have laid big money on Golden State that night, hindsight,
I mean, how can you say that when the Celtics

(41:42):
had the fourth quarter of a lifetime last game. But
Draymond Green even said that ain't happening again. Who is he?
He's Draymond Green. He's gonna stop the whole team. Well,
so he's saying. By the way, you know who looks
fantastic besides Tom Cruise, who's a vampire, looks not much
different than he did in the eighties and nineties. Oral Hersheiser.

(42:05):
We just saw him on the he does the Dodgers coverage. Yeah,
I know he does. He looks great. He's got fifty
years old by now. Oral Hersheiser looks pretty damn good.
But he looks fantastic. He really does. It's just funny
that you brought that up because I pointed at the screen.
I haven't seen him in a minute. He does, he
looks relatively the same. And also because I botched harsh. Yeah,
I'm struggling this. Fox Sports Radio, Covino Enrich At Covino

(42:31):
and Rich on social media. Keep you posted on the game.
I hope you've had a nice weekend so far. Numbers
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We're going back
to the phones. A lot of people calling in about this.
I don't know how we hit a chord, but there's
no doubt. You always gotta have your kids back, and
there's always gonna be the urge to defend your kids.
But you also have to know when to take a

(42:52):
step back. Don't be bad dad, you know what I mean,
and just just let the game go the way it
was meant to go. Because you know you overstepping your
bounds as a parent. It makes you look bad, makes
you look like a like a loose cannon. You know
you have a short fuse. You're fighting with umpires. Kids
are old guys, and you're embarrassing your kid. When in

(43:12):
the major league, professional level of sports, does it become
a problem. Because Angel Hernandez is gaining a reputation to
the point now where if he's behind the plate, it's
noted that the announcers, by the way, the announcers do
not hold back punches. Sometimes, yeah, he has it, he
has a bad rap. What do you do, Tony in Vancouver.

(43:36):
We'll take two more quick phone calls on this and
then but again we're talking there's a big, big difference.
Think of the ramifications you're talking about. You know, that's
big leagues right there, A little league or Sunday softball
is the you know, different than the reason the Major's
we're bringing this up is well two reasons. Rich had
a ridiculous call and his softball game, we like one

(43:57):
that could have easily been reversed because it was such
a miss. But the whole vibe was like, well the
umpire called. It's like the umpire is eighty and hit
the play and slip it up. It hit the plake
and heard everybody saw except for the umpire. You know,
maybe maybe he had gas. Because that's to be honest,
that's how I'm feeling right now. I'm a little like,
uh yeah, I'm a little all over the place because

(44:18):
I keep my stomach keeps rumbling, And there's been a
viral video as of today of an umpire sort of
just telling the parents to beat it, and he walks
off the field and forfeits the game. I've seen a
lot of them. Yeah, uh, Tony Vancouver, what's uptown, Yes, sir,
I've been an umpire, literally umpire for eight years. I

(44:39):
quell a lot of that. At the beginning of the game.
I get the coaches out there and I tell him,
you know, I'm a pictures umpire. That's what I tell him.
Nobody wants to see some kid out there throwing thirty
in any trying to be trying to squeeze within the
strikes one and said, if it's hitable and it's between
the letters and the knees, I'll give him three or
four inches lateral the way because that's a majority of

(45:01):
the people that get mad are on balls and strikes.
So you know, I told him, the coach of the
kids better be up there swing. Nobody wants to see
him just sit there with the bat on their shoulder.
I call other strikes that level. Man. Vancouver one of
our favorite places. What do they call it? What season
is it? Patty or Dexie. How do your season? It's
like in Canada is only like two months of the

(45:23):
year where you can actually go outside enjoy your patio season.
What's up Mississippi, Rob, you're on rich Hey, how are
you guys doing tonight? I actually this is a tea
balls story I got. I got chased by an ump
and two parents. Uh. My daughter was in tea ball

(45:45):
back when I was living in Chicago, and they refused
to keep score. So my daughter after each game would say, hey, Dad,
who won? Because I obviously was keeping score. I had
one game where the m and two parents came up
to me say, what the hell are you doing chilling

(46:05):
your kids and their team? That they won the game
they did it was twelve to nine. Come on, you
know because I go to these games now and these
kids do. Want to know some of these kids the
kids advance, some advance more than others, quicker than others.
Change my mind on that. My little nephew, he I
see him at the end of the games, like, Dad,

(46:26):
did we win? I see him ask his dad, and
I'm like, yeah, I think you won. I changed my
mind on this when I saw my daughter who's now five,
when she was three and a half, she played soccer.
No way on planet Earth should you half her life ago, Bro,
when you're three and four years old playing soccer, you

(46:47):
should not be keeping scored. These kids don't even know
what they're doing where they're running over what they're doing.
But there comes an age, whether it's seven, eight or nine,
where you gotta have winners and losers. I'm not some
new age thing, but in the three, yeah, eight, you
know what's going on. You're you gotta be playing to win. Bro.
When your nephew is playing t ball and half the
kids run the third base by mistake first, you can't

(47:10):
say that's a winner and a loser because none of
them are winners. If that kids running if the viral
video of that little kid doing the summersaults the home
place love us that kid dancing place. You see the
kid after they introduced him, he like he gyrates, like yeah,

(47:30):
they're great. They're all great because it's supposed to be fun.
That is, that is part of it. But there comes
a time and I think we deem the age like seven, eight,
eight or nine where scores and winners and m v
p s and who's good that starts to come into play,
But don't tell me three year olds there should be
winners and losers because they don't even know what they're doing.
They don't know where they are at any given moment.

(47:54):
All right, can make fun of someone Erny Peters pants.
I think he's a bit of a loser. Yeah, if
you he here's I'll give you a role. If you
think unicorns are real, you should not be keeping scoring
their game. There you go. If you think that, if
you play with dinosaurs and roar in your free time,
If you're wondering if they're wearing diapers still, I think

(48:14):
they're literally if they gotta pull up on underneath, there's
no winners and losers, trust me really quick. Which before
you get to the birthday topic, your daughter, how did
she like the Dodgers game? Did she focus in on
the game at all? Did she said dad beers a
little expensive? And what did she eat? Danny J Let
me tell you, I'm glad you brought it up, because

(48:35):
I don't want to be the guy that's talking about
my kid. It's the equivalent of like showing people pictures
of your kids. But my daughter couldn't have made me.
It was like such a special moment for me, honestly,
like heart to heart. She loved it. She was having fun.
We got her cotton candy, I got her ice cream
in the helmet. She was It was pride night, so
she loved all the rainbows. She thought the rainbows. I

(48:57):
was like, see, I mean, look at the if you
see random rainbow. I told them that you love rainbows tonight.
Huh So I thought it was honestly, so much of
a home run pun intended Danny g We stayed to
the eighth inning. She didn't get tired. She was loving it.
She was cheering, let's go match. She's like that, You're
gonna be honest. There was a bit of a dad
fail on your part, though, even though you did everything else. Wait,

(49:19):
you let her cheer for the Mets in l A though.
Did you want her jump in the parking line? I
know she she was. Everyone thought it was cute. But
she is probably gonna say, why are you pointing this out?
Because rich did you know? He did a great job.
He was super dad and he was loving every second
of it. But he didn't bring a little jacket for
his daughter. Bro It was like chilly, Yeah, I got
a little chill, but she was fine, asked her, are
you cold, and she's like, no, I'm fine, just wanted

(49:40):
to cuddle. It was cold, man, Well you're cold. You were,
You were sweatshirts and ther You not bring her? You
not bring her a check. You are your bad gauge
of temperatures, heated seats when it gets but so much so,
Danny G, that I actually am thinking about taking her
to Anaheim next Saturday night because the Mets are playing
The Angels and its fireworks night, and my wife and
I might take the kids do a little if there's

(50:02):
like an a quarium or something else to do in
Anaheim other than disneyne But I gotta be back here
for Sunday night, so I'm not gonna spend the day
Sunday at Disney. But if I could do something Sunday morning,
I think we might do a little family trip. If
you're asking next Sunday, so Angels next weekend, Well I
was at that game. Let me give you some of
my quick observations here, and again this isn't breaking the

(50:22):
glass by any means, but sometimes in life, rich it
only matters when it affects you. Because Danny G, you know,
it was talking about how much money he spent at
a Dodger's game near the Dame. Are you doing? And
it went in one ear and it registered, but it
sort of went out the other. Anna. My thought was
sucking up, Danny g what are gonna what are you
gonna do next to post the gas prices in your
hometown on Facebook. I mean it was just surprising because

(50:46):
I had been to Opening Day before, but it had
spent about half the money. Yeah, so I obviously Mets
Dodgers is a big ticket, two of the best teams
in the n L. So they jack up the prices
I find out. I'm they're just tagging along for the
fun of it. Again. This was Friday night at Dodger Stadium.

(51:08):
Tickets one five person. It's pretty steep. Oh, there were
a good seats though. They were good, not not fantastic.
They were good field level behind home plate and back
of the field level by home plate. Yeah, but you
had obstructive view little because and you know, on and
again that's just me. So I'm thinking about the family

(51:30):
of four, right, So I took note of all that
I'm spending on me a ticket parking I split with you.
That was thirty bucks. So I said fifteen, but thirty
dollars are parking, and I got an ice cream. I'm
at a baseball game. You gotta go all out right.
I got an ice cream. Yeah, you're any game, bro right,

(51:52):
Like I don't go to games that often. You go,
you want the whole experience. I got a hot dog,
Your dog another eight bucks, rich and I split garlic fries.
We're gonna say we spent a hot dog and started
at each end of the hot dog, trying to just
be respectful. Who made it to the center first. We
were like lady in the tramp with us spaghetti but
a hot dog. We split fries, right, garlic fries. It

(52:15):
was twelve bucks. I spent six. I wonder why all
those guys brought you those three drinks? And here's the deal.
I got two adult beverages. They were about nineteen and
change each. Okay, so about you were like a bud
Light Seltzer that was nineteen bucks. And so you know,

(52:37):
I don't expect people to be keeping score at home
and doing math. You're here to enjoy a show. Me
by myself. One person had a dog and ice cream,
split fries, and I had to drinks. Two drinks is
not that step. What did you spend two bucks just
for me? Two two dollars just for me? So factor

(52:57):
that in. You know, your kid wants some peanuts, your
kid wants cotton candy. You're paying for their ticket. If
you go there with a family of four, you're spending
between seven bucks. That's bonkers, dude. And you're gonna spoil
your kid at a game. They want everything and you
want them to have a great time like you did. Yeah,
if you have the resources, you're gonna be like, looks good,
good seeds, let's do this. You're right. And that's where

(53:18):
you say I could see where a family of four
or five is like, yeah, no thanks. You guys have
had thousand dollars to take your kids to a ball.
It's a lot of flow. Like I was good three kids.
Think about if you've got three kids, if you've got
three kids in any gene, you say, I want to
sit field level for them to get the experienced night man.
I did have three kids there and it was over
eight hundred dollars in total. That was crazy, Danny. That

(53:43):
is seriously crazy. And what they had some peanuts, they
had some ice cream. It's not like you're going all Taketo's. Yeah,
oh man, I couldn't bleeve. I will say though, being
an East Coast gud that's been out here seven years now,
there's something really I do like Dodger Stadium. There's a
vibe dollar It's a different vibe than East Coast Baseball,
but there's a very cool vibe that goes along with

(54:06):
Doc and it's just like Disneyland. As much as it
hurt the wallet, I'm still going to go back, of course. Yeah.
And I know it's you know, the prices are jacked up,
and that Beef Doyer dog, that all Beef Doyer dog
for the extra book. It was worth it. I loved it,
you know. And I am not here to complain. I'm
not complaining, just explaining that if you go there and

(54:26):
and you're paying for your family, man, it's it's tough.
It is tough. It really is. So they had a
Rainbow Night. I wish they had a family night. Maybe
they do coming up. I'm gonna check. But it would
be nice if some of the MLB stadiums across the
country could do like family packages, family days, family nights.
That would be amazing. Like imagine if it was like

(54:48):
fifty bucks a kid, but that included a voucher for
like a hot dog or something and like something like that,
like any little thing because the kid. And by the way,
that's great marketing, because you want the kids like you
did rich. You wanted your kids who enjoy the experience
so that she grew up and found some joy in
going to some games and baseball things like that. You
could do more of that for the kids. You could
go to an Oakland A's game and they'll pay you

(55:11):
to go, so you just have to pay. You just
can't go to a Dodgers game, Yankees game, a Mets game,
of Phitley's game, like you know where Red Sox where
people want to go. That's a lot of money. And
by the way, really quick, I don't know if you noticed,
but Draymond and Jalen Brown got tangled up as Brown
was coming down for a three point shot, and uh
they called double technical. I don't know what the result

(55:32):
was they were reviewing. Did I did see them again,
I did see them getting a little Oh wait and
look at this. We're about to head into halftime and
there it is. Yeah, there it is. Fifty two fifty
Golden State up by two going into the half. I'll
be honest, Boston's gotta be it does lease with that
because yeah, because again they were down by twelve in

(55:53):
the fourth quarter last game. They're not gonna do that again.
But but I'm saying, like there're only two points under
going into the half, there's a battle. It's gonna win
the finals. I mean, I just feel it. Yeah, something, man,
we'll see. I don't know, Matt, but you always love
to say most like boxing, it's all but matchups. More
than anything I heard the phrase used more than anything,

(56:15):
more than ever in describing what happened in Game one.
Styles make fights, So Golden State Warriors how to make adjustments?
All right, we'll speaking of fights again, David Devin Haney
on disputed. Just gotta shout it out there, man, what's
next for Devin Haney? Did you tell you know what
I think about that? And and tell everyone when we
get we're gonna take a break with cut back. I
want to make fun of one of our coworkers because
this he should definitely be made fun of. So we'll

(56:37):
be making fun of some people talk some baseball, basketball
and uh the fight game Comino, who who do we
even want to see Devin Haney now fight. We'll get
through it next right here, could be none Rich, all right,
thank you for hanging Cavino and Rich, Fox Sports Sunday,
Fox Sports Radio, Sex made three, Fox Sports Radio dot Com.

(57:01):
If you missed anything, subscribe to our weekend spectacular here
every Sunday night and the I Heart Radio app. I'm
Steve Cavino. That's Where's Davis Spotty, Danny g Don Brown,
Steve Sayer And thank you guys again for hang with
us as we watched Game two of the NBA Finals.

(57:21):
I want to ask you a really disgusting question. Did
those Buffalo wild wings destroy my stomach? Yes? Those little
like bathel bombs? What is going on here? Well, I
think I just hit ten thousand of my bilo meter.
It's that bad. It's tearing me up. Well, by the way,

(57:42):
there's like a whole bunch of Buffalo Wild wings in
the lobby at Fox Sports Radio and a bunch of donuts.
But they're doing the electrical work. So the company was
kind enough to say, since the kitchen and certain things
are not functional, here's some food and drink. For the
most we couldn't handle ourselves and you're doing plumbing work
on my body. Yeah. Yeah, but we we walked in like, oh,

(58:04):
look at that. We couldn't resist because we're gluttons. Honestly,
who wants to resist? But that is the difference. We
noticed that when we moved to l A. Growing up
in New York, if someone brought in donuts or cupcakes
or cookies, say, we're gone instantly. In l A, people
have their own little, you know, ways about their diet,
so not everything goes as fast. People a little more disciplined.

(58:29):
You don't think there's a lot of people here. No
one here looks to get good buddy, if not sports radio.
So we went to town. We went to town on
these buffaldwings, and everyone in the studio is paying the
price right now? Oh boy, uh, you know what, that
will go perfect with my gross question, and I will

(58:49):
keep it brief. I will keep it brief so that
no one's grossed out. And I don't want to be
that guy. But I'm scrolling through the feedback and you know,
always reading stuff, whether it be sport, it's her entertainment
and eating stuff. How do you read TikTok dances? Girl
doing a dance? Right now, I'm reading the caption of her,

(59:11):
but I like what he's reading. Right now. There's an
article that I'm on The Insider, but also it's a
New York Times article. They interviewed Kim Kardashian about some
of her brands and some of her business ventures exactly,
and this is what she said. And I'm going to
leave it at this, and I'm going to ask you

(59:33):
a pretty gruesome question, So prepare, Kim Kardashian says when asked,
what would you do to stay young looking? Because she
looks fantastic? Kim said in the article, if you told
me I literally had to eat poop every single day

(59:56):
to look younger, I would I would just eat my
own poop. So Kim Kardashian would eat her own poo
to stay in shape? What would she do for a
clonic bar? And so would that being? Would that being
the gross guy on Fox Sports Radio? I won't even

(01:00:19):
repeat it. What would you do? Would you do such
a thing? If I just wondering, you know, what does
this have to do with the price of bananas that
they're selling here at Fox Sports Radio? What? No bananas? Girls?
I don't want you eating that at the Buffalo Wild.
I saw this though this has gone viral sense. We
went from talking about eating the free Buffalo Wild kitchen

(01:00:40):
to Kim kardashi talking about what she would eat for
for for looks well, didn't let me let me ask
you a question. I won't even repeat the gross phrase.
Would you do this not every day? One time? If
it meant your team winning the championship? No, like Dan
je if I said self respect, I said, Raiders win

(01:01:03):
the super Bowl. You have to pull it. Kim Kardashian, No,
I would keep celebrating. Yeah, I'm good on that as
a little tiny kid with the Raider jacket. The answers no,
just asking what if it? What if it meant staying?
And what if you had to do it one time?
And why you have to do it one time? But

(01:01:25):
that meant you'd be in great physical condition for the
rest of your life and could eat whatever you want,
as many donuts as I want. You could eat doughnuts,
taco bell, Buffalo Wild, wings, treats, sugary coffee, everything the
rest of your knew what I'd always know what I
had to do. Are we talking like you know? Are

(01:01:46):
we talking like a mini Dodger helmet? Full stop? It
now we're done. Now we're done with the conversation. I mean,
you don't want to start it over before it started. Yeah,
it was exactly Please if that ended it, I thought
you're gonna ask me about Devin Hay. Guys, I'm sorry,
I'm team. I'm team. Sorry, I'm team. Kind of a
cool conversation up to that point. Yeah, good job, Spot,

(01:02:07):
It was kind of it was kind of an interesting like, hey,
would you do something grousom until you start with dr helmets,
Richard talking like a little fun sized baby roof, you know,
like stop it stop. But I wasn't saying anything. That's
who That's what I mean. Come on, dump button, dump button? Yea.
But I mean I mean we're getting close. You you
took it too far. We're on terrestrial radio. Way to go, Spot,

(01:02:30):
See what you did? Look what you did, you little jerk.
Don't you know the rules of poop talk? This is
the Kim Kardashian curse everybody talks about. Yeah, I mean,
this is what happens when Richard shot out of a
cannon and he just looks at stuff. He's reading articles
between Let me listen while we check in on the
NBA Finals game. Two. I'm telling you it's golden States

(01:02:55):
to lose. Someone's missing tonight on the Fox Sports team.
And don't get me wrong, I love the company of
Don Brown. In fact, on I love looking at your face.
That's creepy. But you know who's not here? Every buddy? Bobo. Hi,
I'm Bobbo. And why is Bobbo not here? Hey, it's

(01:03:19):
his birthday? Happy birthday, birthday. I'll say this, What does
that have to do with him not being here? Thank you, Danny.
I can't believe now. I know he works a lot
of jobs. I know he's hustling. I know he's working
out at the gym seven days a week. And you
need to make it clear though that we're not the

(01:03:41):
type of people or the show that really care. You
know what I mean that he's taking the day. I
don't care at all. In fact, Danny G you're just
making a point, Bobo, Don Brown. Everyone here works really hard.
So whoever needs to take a day off for a
personal day or a vacation day, I can't do it.
It's whatever. But I'm just fascinated that Bobo is the
grown man that takes off his birthday. It's the reason

(01:04:05):
why if he goes, Yeah, I'm taking my girl out
for a nice brunch and then we're gonna have a
day at the beach. I'm taking off. I'd say this,
that sounds fantastic. But if I'm taking off because it's
my birthday, no, no, no. I have a friend Leo,
who lives in San Diego. He's listening right now. What
I'm gonna call him out? He pulls the girl thing.

(01:04:25):
He says, Oh, it's my birthday month. I'm like, bro,
you don't have a month. I do that? He is?
He facetious, sus no, because then he goes on this
week long tour with his girlfriend, taking all these photos,
saying it's my birthday week. So it's just in some people.
Some people they look at their birthday as like a
major holiday. When that date appears on my cell phone,

(01:04:49):
I look at it. There is a special sort of
feeling that I get, like it's the day. Yeah, so
I don't I'm not the type to ignore the birthday,
but to take off on my birthday you lean more
bobo because you because I really care about treat it
in a special way. But I'm not taking the day off.

(01:05:11):
Let me make it because it's Steve's birthday. Let me
make it very clear, Rich David speaking, I am not
the person that's like, don't talk about my birthday. I'm
just getting older. Oh, I'm not the birthday ignorer because
there's that person to do to acknowledge it and we
just skip bthday, don't. I don't mean that guy. Don't

(01:05:33):
remind me. And but I'm also not the hey, everyone, guys, gals, kids, everyone,
it's my birthday that to me brought in cupcakes. Honestly,
I feel like I'm so normal for everybody. I feel
like I'm so normally in between and spot, I feel
like you're the same way. Your birthday is in a month,
very low key about it. It's like, hey, it's your birthday. Hey,

(01:05:55):
if you guys want to go out for dinner for
my birthday, you want to grab a drink, that's cool.
If not, no big deal either. I feel special about it,
and my one wish is that nobody bothers me on that.
The only one I wanted to celebrate was and it
happened during the pandemic, so that came and went and
I let it go. Yeah, and if it's a nice
one like you, that makes sense. Party with some friends,

(01:06:16):
your wife or girlfriend throws you a little hang, your
buddy's surprise, you take you somewhere. But the fact I
have to just say, I now think of Bobo a
little different. Well, in what way can you put it
into words? It's just because Bobo Bobo to me seems
like a really he's a really cool guy. It seems

(01:06:36):
sort of like a bit of a tough guy too. Yeah,
he's always at the gym, like some of the stories
he has about when he was a single guy back
in the shoe game too. He's got great shoe games.
So all the character he sticks of bow Bo don't
match the fact that he's also it's my birthday jim Self.
He's kind of match up with it. Yeah, he's also
jim Self. He's jim selfie guy. You're right, there's nothing

(01:06:59):
wrong with that. Yeah, I'm not judging, but I'm saying,
if there is one thing that lines up that lines
up with it, yeah, and then it does make you
think of that person a little different. You're right. Honestly,
I wish he I wish him a great day, and
I hope he's having fun. I almost wish take off
he said something almost feel like should his cell phone
right now. He took it. He said. He said it

(01:07:22):
in a way that we should all understand that that's
why he's not going to be here this week. Like
Rich said, if he just simply said, you know, I
really I want to have a nice day with my
girls him off next week, we wouldn't have thought twice
about it. If he actually says, if he said, I'm
taking my son out for a nice day Father's Sunday,

(01:07:43):
a great time. But the fact that it was a
simple yeah, next my birthday a big plan, we don't
know if there's a plan. He could just be sitting
on his couch watching stranger things his birthday. Part of
one to take off because brought up his son is
because his son wanted to really celebrate his birthday, then

(01:08:04):
he should have positioned it by forgetting the birthday party,
just being like, I'm spending some time my son, and
I would have said, that's really special, have a great time.
He's definitely wearing a birthday hat as we see. Do
you think it's a little bit thing has a few
party favorites in his back Call him up right now,
just like your birthday by speaking jeez, so there is

(01:08:25):
something because even I get eye rolls because I acknowledged
that it's my birthday coming up. And I think there's
something about there's a stigma about guys who even treat
their birthday in a special way at all. And he
took it next level. You had a birthday party once
in your twenties and you called it the jump Off
and it was at jay Z's forty club and you

(01:08:48):
made and you made flyers for your birthday. Not give
you the twenty year old guy exception, but yeah, I
mean your borderline bow. But all the dumb things we
said I did, you could just say, well, I was
in my twenties. Hey, guys, I have a special guest
on the line, right here on the phone. I reached
out and I got him right here. Birthday boy, birthday boy.

(01:09:09):
You're talking mess. Oh no, I'm saying that we really
wish you a happy birthday. Bro. Just Instagram said you'll
talk a mess and I'll take a day off. No, no, no, no.
Not because you took a day off. I wish you
would have told me you were having a good day
with your kid or your girl or something. The fact
that you just said it's my birthday. Yeah, not that

(01:09:32):
you're off, that you're off for your birthday. Yeah, I am.
I'm off celebrating my birthdays in the car with me
right now, we're going to dinner. When you blow out
the birthday candle on the cake, could party your wish
be our happiness together with you? Yes? Are you? I
bet you. They're gonna do their birthday song for him
at the restaurant. Happy, happy Birthday's special day. Happy, happy birthday,

(01:09:57):
he happy, happy birthday. You're dreams come true. Birthday to you. Hey, everybody,
I love you. Guys for me to take the day off,
but I don't know me. I work a lot, and
I said that it's not about the day off. The

(01:10:17):
day you take off whenever you want, obviously, But it's
the fact that rich is making a point about certain
guys make a bigger deal about their birthday than other people.
I feel guilty. Right now, we're keeping the birthday by bubba.
We'll get you later. Go enjoy. I'm sorry. I'm meaning
show first at dinner right now. Man, it's a special day.

(01:10:39):
And do not let her pump the gas, honey, she
don't do that. She don't pump the gas, open the doors,
none of that dog that that she don't play that
with the type of guy that gets mad. I's like,
she didn't get you a card or something right nor Honestly, man,
I don't get I don't have any expectation for my
birthday that way. If something does happen, it's all he's

(01:11:00):
a big deal, and it's a big thing for me,
you know what I mean. She did her whole social
media post about me to like eighteen different posts in
a row on her story. You know you're gonna have
to do now, Bobo, You're gonna have to respond to
all the birthday wishes on social media and then make
one random post to thank everybody from all the birthday wishes.
You hit the light button, and then at the end,

(01:11:22):
I would be like, thank you guys for wishing me
happy birthday. Yeah, I actually have a question. But what
do we get it? Should we get a picture of
Bobo and do like one of my my wife's friend
Shannon is like the so good at whoever's birthday it
is writing a long sentiment. Should we be like to
our dearest Bobo, every Sunday you bring enjoy to our lives.
Let's let him go and enjoy your dinner. All right,

(01:11:46):
Happy day, Happy Birthday from Fox Sports Radio and Covino
and Rich and I have a question Rich before we
uh go to break to go to the sea. Yeah,
if you didn't wish your friend a happy birthday on
social media? Right, But then you see it's like random
thank you to everyone that wished him a birthday wish?
Is it too late at that point? And then to
think no, happy birthday? But I feel like, yeah, you're

(01:12:09):
grown man, Steve the Seger. How are you, buddy doing great?
Steve went your birthday just so we don't miss it. Yeah,
it's many months in the future, you're gonna miss it.
Game two of the NBA Finals is early. What's gonna
be here anymore? You're gonna miss it that I assume
Fox will have made it a better decision. Fifty fifty

(01:12:33):
two Warriors lead the Boston Celtics and in this game,
Al Horford. You know in the opener he had scored
twenty six points. In this game zero he did not
even attempt a shot in the first Draymond looks a
little smart, now, doesn't he. Jayson Tatum with twenty one
points in this game, but the rest of the team
has not been shooting well and now Clay Thompson in
this game was one of eight from the floor in

(01:12:54):
the first half, matching his worst first half of his
playoff career. It got up to one of ten and
he just hit a three Golden State fifty nine fifty
two in the lead. Steph Curry was seventeen points games
three and four in Boston Wednesday and Friday. Utah head
coach Quinn Snyder stepped down after eight seasons and six
straight playoff appearances, winning percentage of the last six years

(01:13:16):
six twenty three best in the Western Conference. Tampa Bay
Lightning in the NHL's East Final are on the board,
down two games to one to the Rangers. They beat
New York three to two today in the West Final.
Game four is Monday night. Rafael Nadal won the French
Open in straight set so over number eight seed Casper
Route of Norway. Nadal in his career in French Open

(01:13:37):
finals is fourteen and oh and in fact his record
there rolland Garros overall one twelve and three Wimbledon starts
in three weeks. But Nigal Nadal did say he needed
another injection for his chronic foot injury today, so he
played today with left foot numb. Does not know if
he'll be playing Wimbledon. Billy Horschell took the Memorial by
four strokes despite a final round seventy two. He in

(01:14:00):
a tie for tenth earned a goal for over three
hundred thousand dollars in this event. Wales won its World
Cup playoff one nothing over Ukraine on an own goal.
Wales will open against the US at the World Cup
in Guitar. In November, Joey Logano won the NASCAR Race
outside St. Louis. Skyle Bush finished second. His brother Kurt
Busch was third. In the Sunday night ball game at

(01:14:20):
Wrigley Field, Chicago, the Cubs have taken a three to
lead on the Cardinals in the bottom of the eighth inning,
Nets in ten innings beat the Dodgers five four, Yankees
in ten ennings beat Detroit five to four, and Philadelphia
sent the Angels to an eleventh straight loss nine seven
the final. In the eighth inning, Bryce Harper with a
grand slam after the Angels retook the lead top of

(01:14:41):
the ninth three run homer to win it for the Pills.
In the bottom of the night from Bryson Stott, who's
betting one fifty nine back to you. That's pretty good now,
thanks Steve, Thanks Steve. By Steve brought up something that
was interesting. He said, uh, the Utah Jazz, and I
think you'll agree with me based on what he said,
the highest winning percentage in the years that he coached.

(01:15:05):
A deceptive stat because they're always sort of in it,
but never next level. Right. I heard a stat that
I had to look up just now because I was like,
there's no way when I say major League Baseball teams.
I recently gave you the quiz off the air of
like what guy had the most hit and the most
hits in the eighties and nineties two thousands, and you
got it. But you're pretty good about it. We're gonna

(01:15:26):
have another quiz. No, this is my number two pencils.
This is one of those. You'd be amazed. The seventies
makes sense. The Reds, big red Machine, nineteen seventies, big
Red Machine, most wins in the decade, the Reds from
the nineties, the Braves, the Braves win the division every year.
Makes it makes sense? Right? Do you know in the

(01:15:48):
nineteen eighties the Yankees have the most wins of any franchise,
and it's this Don Manning the documentary recently, and they
said that is they were winning nineties some games. It's
just there was no wild cards, no wild card back then.
But the Yankees, you think of the eighties as they're
like Bunk decade, had a few like Bunk years, but

(01:16:09):
for the most part they were really good teams. They're
just winning, not enough exactly. We got a break. We'll
be back. Mark coming on, Rich, coming up. You gotta
stop with this Lizzo song. Rich Rich keeps singing the
song my song, I love it. What do you want
me to tell you? I love Lizza. You and my
daughter like the same song. Good she's twelve, She's got

(01:16:32):
good taste, cool twelve year old. It's my jam. Know
what I keep saying? The Swedish fish on TikTok, I'm
side the Swedish chef. If the Swedish fish, I'm eating him.
Do you know what right next to the buffalo wild
your stomach? Your stomach sounds good. Let me ask you,

(01:16:53):
how much do you think this went for? I was
just reading on TMZ sports Kobe Bryant a jersey he
wore in his rookie season during the ninety ninety seven playoffs.
What do you think it's what do you think it's
auctioned off for? At an auction, people bring dockets three million,

(01:17:17):
damn good guests two point seven three million a game
war Kobe Jersey during the ninety six and ninety seven playoffs.
It was Kobe's first playoff series and just shy of
three million dollars. So for the collectors out there, it's
a pretty cool thing to have, right, Kobe's first playoff series? Yeah,

(01:17:37):
I mean three million. And let me ask you one
other thing, got the money whatever? As we if you
ever bought that something like that an auction, would you
want to put it on just once? I'm sure feel
but not like wear it out, but like just like
put it on. You're like, yeah, you got it. If
you spent three million dollars to put it on just
like once, do you w with any no pant stuff

(01:17:59):
like this? Did you mean just yeah? Why not? He
spent three million dollars for it? Just you probably get
a lot of weird things to be done. Also if
you have that type of if you have that type
of money, al right, um, let mer hyperpants on how
mut you pay for those about costco costcos, Kirkland hyper pants,

(01:18:22):
Kirkland hyper picks. That's hich davison' Covinos, Covino and Rich
on Fox Sports Radio. I have a question for you,
when was the last time you could think of a
failed Think about this, Danny Jake. I want you to
think aba because you're you're more of an NBA guy
than I am. A failed coaching experiment. That seems like
a no brainer because in baseball they're saying the Phillies

(01:18:44):
are responding to Girardi being gone, and when they hired him,
that was the talk of baseball, like don't remember, like
the Mets wanted, the other teams were, we're gunning for Joe.
Girardi is a very militant type of guy, you know.
He He's Joe Giardi sort of a stiff dude, you
know what I mean? And I say that kindly. I

(01:19:05):
liked Joe Girardi and I think he was a great
Yankee and he was a great coach. But maybe it
just didn't mesh well with the the young vibe of today.
Right off the top of my mind, Mike D'Antoni in
Los Angeles D'Antoni was a great example of someone where
you're like, oh, this is the next clear the franchise
guy that'll be here. Was split at the time. I
remember listening to sports radio here. Half the fans were like, Oh,

(01:19:27):
this is gonna work up Temple offense. The other half
was like, I don't know if this fits yeah, and
that it was an epic fail. The Girardi era done losing.
It was a losing era. Yeah, you know, I mean,
no one expects to lose. But this came with high
hopes people. The Girardi was the guy. Dan just wasn't

(01:19:48):
a good fit man sometimes just not the right fit. Um.
I saw something else that I thought it was interesting
because you're you're such a Yankees guy. They went positioned
by position and made the all time Yankee lineup, the
Yankee quote dream Team. And there's one guy on the
team that I'm curious if you think belongs there. Is

(01:20:11):
it Steve BALBONI. I know he's one of our boss's
favorites and it's super snug jersey and his mustachio. Uh No,
but I'll tell you who it is next. And I
want to know if you think he belongs in the
all time Yankees team damn Ware and Rich. Next, Yeah,
that's us, That is us. Who great to show that

(01:20:35):
nobody's heard of Cavino and Rich. So write it down
and remember it and tell some friends at Covino and
Rich on social media. Shout out to the iHeart Radio
app and future people checking out the podcast Fox Sports
Radio dot com. Thank you for hanging out with us
in the future. Are people wearing silver suits that spot

(01:20:56):
Danny gez here Don Brown, Steve to Sager, Happy birthday
to oh Bo. He took the night off established. But
you pose the trivia question Rich about the all Yankee teams, Well,
it wasn't a trivia question, by the way. Side note,
Game two is on and Golden State Warriors are on
fire right now, carried away as the sayers said, a
big run by Golden State. Steph Curry is lighting it up.

(01:21:18):
So he's got what I feel like looking at it now,
Golden State by four. Why did I not bet on
this game? I've got on dumb things the minute left
in the third. We'll keep you posted on game two.
But it looks like as of now, Golden State Warriors
got this one. But then again, that's how it looked
last game, so we'll see what happens. I read a

(01:21:41):
lot of headlines. Hidden pictures don't come, and sometimes people
send me things. I gotta say, I gotta before I
give you the question. By the way, memes don't count either.
Before I give you the question, I gotta read you
the typical thing my mom will send me because anyone
else parents can't decideher phase of the naked guy on
the bed or no, no, that's not what she sent me.

(01:22:06):
That's wrong with you? Oh, you're acting like you've never
seen him before. Hyperpants in the brake the funny If
his mom sent it to him, though, that would have
would be a mom, Mom, click on this link, Ritchie,
what is it? Mom? Oh? My goodness, mom um hm.
But I can't be the only one. Does anyone else's

(01:22:27):
parents send them like an article or a link And
you're like, do you really think this is real? Like
do you remember that clip of the guy running up
the outfield wall and making like a Spiderman type of catch. Yes,
my mother thought that was real. I mean, I get it.
My mother sends me all this type of stuff, like

(01:22:48):
Richie didn't see this? What do she she sent me
it's an article before I realized where the source was,
Like what Babe Ruth comparisons grow after a hammered oh
Tani eats fifty three hot dogs and then it's from
the Onion. I like how they're modernizing Babe Ruth on

(01:23:12):
TikTok videos on social media where it makes them up
more handsome. They put some facial hair on them, give
a modern day haircut. But speaking of Babe Yeah, let
me give you a meme I saw and they went
through all the teams in baseball and made the quote
dream teams. I'm gonna go through, I'm gonna go through

(01:23:33):
the roster, and I feel like the Yankees based on
the storied history to the history of the franchise. I
hate the Yankees. I'm a Mets guy, but you gotta
respect the Pinstrips on what it means right right, I
mean the legendary names that played for the Yankees. I
can tell you who's not on that list or all
this Chapman and Joey Gellow terrible the all time Yankee team.

(01:23:56):
The only reason I'm bringing this up is because I
feel like there's one person that you might say, no,
they belong, but I don't know. He ne let's go,
no way, get out of here. She's on the list catching. Yeah,
I just go Thurman Unson, right, they went with you.
You can go, you can go first base, you go,

(01:24:17):
Lou Garrick, Yeah, shortstop, Yeah, Jeets Jeter makes sense. Third base.
I agree with this one too. A Rod, not Nettles,
not Paglia Rulos. Now, when you look at the alfield,
it's pretty obvious. Joe d you got the Maggio, Mickey

(01:24:39):
Mantle and Babe, that's your alfield and you're starting picture
Whitey Ford, your closer. More rivera left. I left off
one position. Because of his recent struggles, it's hard for
me to think the all time Yankee second baseman is
Robbie Cano. I mean he of the nineties, no to

(01:25:01):
two thousands and hits. The dude was a beast. He
ruined his own reputation. Man, he was so he had
a lazy reputation. But you know why, because he was
so slick. He made everything looks So then I started
thinking it was a hitting machine. Then I started thinking, like,
well not, it won't be Soriana, It's not gonna be
Willie Randolph. I started going through my own It's not

(01:25:22):
gonna be the scooter. So is it what you mean?
You're the Yankees guy, I'm I'm the Mets guy, I
would say. Robbie Cano, Man, Yeah, I mean I'm surprised
by that, I am. But now that I think about it,
the dude was a beast, and he was he was
a Yankee, like he came up through the system. He
really was a Yankee because the weakest move I think

(01:25:42):
was taking the money in Seattle. For sure, I ruined
his career. Do you agree with me that there's something
about Robbie Cano that he's like ruined his own reputation
so much so that we forget that he was a
beast for a decade. Yeah, definitely. Uh, in line with
what I used to think about Bear he Bonds back
when he was a pirate, because you know, obviously a

(01:26:04):
little different of a story, but when Bonds was a pirate,
you remember collecting those Bonds cards of course, and then
once he got to the Giants, well, I'm a Dodgers
fancy fill in the point. Yeah, you'd be a little
extra game. And then everything with the clear and all that,
it was just it. I had a whole page of
Bonds cards when he was a pirate. Yeah, no, there

(01:26:25):
there are guys that it's like man reputation. But the
thing with with Bonds, though, is he was always great. Right,
reputation ruined, but he was always great. Robbie Cano just
he started to stink. He was he was like a
shell of what he once was because he was a great,
great player, like up there, like natural hitter, like Manny Ramirez,
like like Miguel Cabrera. This is the guy you thought

(01:26:47):
that could hit forever. The fall from grace happened quick
and you and you forget when when the fall happens
quick like that, like, oh that's right, Remember you want
the home run derby with his dad Like he had
a magical career going on. He was the second base
answer to Jeter for a long time in New York.
He was that good and he had a great smile.
It could have been the face of of any franchise.

(01:27:08):
Ruined his own reputation. You know what it is when
you get released by two teams in a month and
you're batting like that, and you're batting like one you're right,
it's just like that, your reputation gone, so all right, Um, Hey, well,
I wanted to say this real quick, but that you're
missing winning Time on Sunday nights because I am Oh,
definitely I got the winning Time blues. But I'll catch

(01:27:29):
up on Stranger Things will be one Kenobi and of
course it's the top gun rage of And no, I
haven't seen the new one yet. I get it. People
freaking out about it, stop asking me if I saw it.
I still got to watch the original again. It's been
a minute. No, but I did watch. Get this a
two part story. I did watch a good fight. I

(01:27:51):
was hoping it was a great fight last night, but
it was a good fight. Kind of boring because Devin Haney,
and my opinion, is kind of a boring fighter. But
he's a great boxer, but great boxing sometimes could be
a little boy like Mayweather, right, Like his fights were
kind of boring because he's a defensive fighter. But hey,
he did what he had to do to win. And
Devin Haney, one can't take anything away from him. He

(01:28:12):
beat Cambosis, became the undisputed lightweight champion, and uh he
has the w b OH belt, ib F belt, w
A belt, w BC belt. Now here's how it happened.
Rich You'll remember this Loma Chenko was pound for pound,
the best, had all those belts. You remember tia Fimo
beat him. Tia Fimo had the belts. Then Cambosis beat

(01:28:35):
tia Fimo, and Cambosis fought Haney. So props to cambos
Is for taking a big fight immediately after winning all
the belts. He just lost last night. So Devin Haney
now is the undisputed champion. You asked me, who does
he fight next? It's gotta be one of these. It's
gotta be like if it if it's not a rematch
with Cambosis, which I think that's where they're leaning, it's

(01:28:58):
gotta be like Tank Davis, you know, no one. I
always hate when a fight ends and no one really
cares about that fight and they're both like, yeah, let's
run it back. I'm like, no, that's how I that's
how I felt that I saw. I saw Cambosis be like, yeah,
we'll do it again. I'm like, we don't really care.
I'm not sure if it was in the contract or
in the clause, you know, but but you got that feeling. Yeah, yeah,

(01:29:20):
But props like Cambosis is trying to fix what was
wrong with boxing. He didn't just win the belts and
then take a victory lap and fight a bunch of nobody's.
He fought one of the best in the division, Devin
Haney at one thirty five, but he lost all the belts.
So he lost four belts last night to Devon Haney.

(01:29:41):
But here's what I don't get, and this is also
the problem with boxing. There's too many belts. Like UFC,
there's one champion, right boxing there's four belts. But still, somehow,
Javante Davis is the w B a regular lightweight champion.
I as a fan, I as a fan, still doesn't
even know. I don't know what that means. If vant

(01:30:01):
Tank Davis is their champion does not fight Haney, then
boxing is failing and struggling even why would you not.
The regular champion, according to definition, is the man who
is actually the champion, except when there's a super champion,
then the regular champion is something less than a champion's
like reading a street sign. I don't know. Could I

(01:30:23):
park here between seven and nine am? But on? But
no standing? But what about parking? So so hold on,
let me let me give you a boxing for dummies
right now? Wait today, holiday the lightweight division. On Devin
Haney won all the belts. He's undisputed, however, it is undefeated. However,
Givante Davis is the regular lightweight champion. So when it

(01:30:44):
get it, wouldn't logic tell you that if they don't
make Haney Tank Davis fight, then they're just sort of
dilly dalling men, because like that's the only fight. What
about your boy Tau tia Fimo. I mean, I mean,
he's conversation. I know we've interviewed him a few times
and I know you and him are pals. What what
he's he had the one loss to cambosis, and he

(01:31:05):
hasn't fought since November. What's the deal? Yeah, he's he's
gotta be in this conversation, of course, But guys, we're
talking big names, Thank Davis, Devin Haney, Tiafimo, Lopez, Loma Chenko,
She of course, Stevenson is is a division under champion.
At about your come up? What about your boy tia Fimo?
Because he beat Loma Chenko and then he lost, Yeah

(01:31:25):
it was a decision loss. He's in the conversation, man,
you know he's he's on his comeback. So who who
does Devin Haney fight next. I think it has to
be if not Cambosis Tank Davis, but a kind of
a boring fight. But the guy who they called an
email champion is undisputed. Now congratulations. But here's the thing, guys,

(01:31:47):
here's the real meat of the question. I don't expect
you to care about boxing. I do. I watched it.
I was hoping for, you know, a fight of the
year's sort of candidate. It was at best. I invited
Rich spot you know whoever it was around. I invited
you know, one of our mutual friends. I invited everybody

(01:32:10):
over to watch this fight just and it wasn't about
the fight. It was just the reason to you know, hey,
have a drink come by, you know, girlfriends away, let's
kick a few back, let's be men. Said lame And
would you believe Danny g I'm gonna call you next time,

(01:32:32):
because would you believe not one person showed up? Like
how deflating is that. I'll tell you why. Lame spot
And Spotty says. Spotty says, listen, I have spot you know,
the beginning earlier, who's fighting again? And I'm like Devin
Haney and George Campbos's I'll think about it. I don't know,

(01:32:53):
like I could tell, like the fight was not good
enough for him to make time to hang out on
a again. This is Saturday night, because fice, I get it.
I mean I did have intentions of going, but I
also knew that, like, you know, I had to go
to the gym, but my wife wanted to go to
the gym. You can't go to the gym or you
went to the gym all throughout the fight. She gets

(01:33:14):
home from work at like five, so so it was
like cut into the time. I don't know, you know
my my reason, I don't no offense, but your wife
can't go to the gym by herself. She's my buddy
on my buddy past. Give me a break. I have to.
I have to bring her. I mean, we all have obligations.
I just have a My take is simple. You don't
feel bad for me eating chips. It's also by myself. Well,

(01:33:36):
the fact that you're by yourself. I feel like my
theory will ring true. My buddy Mikey showed up. But
Mikey was coming and hopes to see you guys because
he hadn't seen you guys in a long time. I
will say my reasoning is I'm gonna explain why zero
people showed up. Yeah, but this is what I call
the false narrative, false fake logic. Then then that's fine.

(01:34:01):
You're you're not about planning. You need it. You need
an evite, you need a special invitation to ask you
to come by. You're not one, not one what to
ask you to come by. I did I mean if
I begin speaking, can I finish it or not? Because
I'm about to hear some bs. You're not one to

(01:34:23):
make a concrete, firm plan where I'll give you a
great example earlier plan is the fight is on at six,
Come by and watch to fight if you I just
don't want to put it. If you want, I didn't
want to. Yeah, exactly what I got the hard press.
I I gotta put the hard press on you to
come to have a wife and two kids and be like, hey, honey,

(01:34:48):
I'm gonna leave with the kids alone all night. When
was it the baseball? I need at least twenty four
hours prior to the event, and I will give you
a solid confirmation lest twelve hours prior to you just
saying but I, like Danny g I already threw it
out to you. I said, Hey, in a mood, in
a in a couple of weeks, Um, we might have

(01:35:10):
a little barbecue, a little pool day at my house. Hey,
keep this day open if you can. What's the weather
going to be? Like, I'll think about it. But your
not a bath fight. It's about just Hey, let's just
let's have a drink, let's hang out. As nobody showed
up as an extroverted in getting new friends. Sometimes like

(01:35:31):
I'm in a mood and I get invited something I'm
really excited about. I'm like, yeah, I'll be there, and
then the time comes for it for me to actually go,
and my introversion kicks in and I'm like nothing next time.
Next time, I'm gonna call Colm. Damn, I'm gonna call
the big dogs and not invite either retreating to a
hole or I like reluctantly, but I think I think
something else. You're forgetting to be me. Cowherd got leeb

(01:35:51):
and Bobo. You guys aren't invited. Don't Bubble is not coming.
It's his birthday week, Ken Mallers bring finding new friends? Man,
what a may do you imagine? You invite Ben Maller
and he doesn't bring the bubblicane Danny g my buddy
might on the road right, And it was almost like
He's like, I thought people were coming over, you know,

(01:36:12):
I think I had cancelsl it. I think he thought
I was trying to get romantic or something. I'm like, no,
it's not that kind of party. Nobody just decided to
not come by. So I watched the fight by myself,
well with with my buddy. Now, I know it's not
about the fight, but it's definitely not about the fight.
But if it was a bigger fight, you guys probably
would have kid. I guess it would have been more

(01:36:32):
of an event. And also but you also were like
positioning as like a guy's night and it's a Saturday night.
But I have a wife and two kids. And if
if we're gonna do if you said, hey, uh, your
girlfriends and miss Jordan, if you were like Jordan I
or want to check out this new sushi spot at
this new steakhouse, we're all gonna go out for a
dinner tonight, I would have investigated a sitter figured it out.

(01:36:53):
But your casual, hey want to come by it fight?
The main event was on it seven. You couldn't come
by for an hour, Give me a break, Give me
a break. You expect everybody to come by your place
all the time, and the one time I tell you
guys to come over, all buy pizza amos. It's a
fight and early. I even said, I positioned it. It's

(01:37:15):
an early fight because they're fighting in Australia. It's not
gonna take up because it's not gonna take up your
Saturday night. You know what. You guys showed me that
when it came. When it comes to like coming there
and chilling at my place. You guys are a stree.
Spend more per week cheeks. I spend more che per
week than I do my wife. So when I have

(01:37:35):
an opportunity to spend time, it was an hour. This
guy lives around the corner. Fight he has no excuse
away just right around the corner. I was offering food, drinks,
keep in mind in popcorn by myself. But anyway, Hey,
you could make of it what you will. That's what happened.

(01:37:57):
Do you get a different vibe, That's what you get.
That's a big night, everybody, Danny G. Don't you get
a different vibe? If it's uh, If I say Danny G,
I'm having a barbecue with a pool day you and
your girl, isn't you and your like inviting someone in
their wife or girlfriend or making a plan to go
out to a rasha like hey for an hour. Bro,

(01:38:17):
you're telling me to come o'cock at night and be
like honey, feed the kids dinner and take care of
bedtime and everything so I could go watch a fight.
I don't care about. That's not a pass I want
to use. I'd rather save that from one with doing
something about It's about hanging with your butt. It's not
about even about the fight. What fight do you care about? Really?
Not Logan Paul if he fights like Mike Tyson friends

(01:38:38):
friend right, Well, anyway, that was a fighting night yesterday.
You enjoy it? You know what else? Like you, I'm
gonna call it. I'm gonna call Mario Lopez and uh
my boys, Ain Brook, good guys, They'll they'll probably stand
you up to um More Covine on Rich next right here,

(01:39:02):
you know, Don Brown, next big fight, Bro, I'm gonna
fvite you over. Man. We have tacos and pizza. Look,
and I'm trying. He's trying to bribe friends. Pathetic. These
fools ain't coming I'm not inviting them. Bro pathetic will
buy some ladies to fight night. You'll see you Tell
your girlfriend she's one of them. Yeah, yeah, herd too. Yeah.

(01:39:26):
Fox Sports Radio, Cavino and Rich, thank you guys for
hanging out. Hey, by the way, so it's a very
special day. Before I give you the NBA Finals game,
to update you know what happened on June June five,
I'll give you a hint. This guy did the same

(01:39:46):
thing that Bobo did today. Took off on his birthday. Feeler,
he took off, but not on his birthday. I don't
think it was his birthday. He just took off. Ferris
Bueller took the day off on June. How could I
possibly expected to handle school on a day like this? Well,
and he went to the Cub skate. As you watched

(01:40:07):
the Cubs Cardinals extra innings in the eleventh now three three,
I pointed it out, like a month ago, you remember
the fun thing about Wrigley Field we we actually discovered
last month? Do you remember? Do you retain information we
learned here? On Fox Sports Radio, I said, the ivy
looks so terrible, and then someone said, no, it's the

(01:40:31):
end of May. Beginning of June where the IVY goes
from like like honestly, it was gross and dead looking.
And now the beautiful outfield walls at Wrigley Field as
the Cardinals take a four three lead in the eleventh,
well again, game two, it's the fourth quarter. We'll give
you the update in a second. It's like the Celtics,

(01:40:53):
I mean the Celtics, we waited a week for this exactly.
Don't look like they got the same guests that they had.
In fact, I have the guest, by the way, two
weeks in a row. By the way, Comina looked at
the TV and they weren't showing the score. It's nineties
seven seventy five Golden State Warriors. Was five minutes left.
Send him some Buffalo wild Wings to the court. Yeah,

(01:41:16):
Celtics ran out of guess this game all right? Now
it's one hundred seventy five. The Warriors take the lead,
so we'll be all tied up one to one after
this game. But before we move on, Rich wins Game three,
fourth of July, weekends, three weeks, three weeks. Want to
make um. Before I got here, I was watching some highlights.

(01:41:38):
I don't even know what show I was watching. Oh,
I think you said you were reading Highlights Magazine. I
was like, what is he the dentist? I love Highlights Magazine,
hitting pictures. I know. I'm a big fan of goofs
and gallant pig will and pig won't. No, that's that's
that's that's that's no. The timber toes are Highlights Magazine.
But anyway, sorry. I saw the top plays of the

(01:41:58):
week on some random show I don't know what it was,
and they were showing that dad catch again, you know,
the dad who was dangling his baby. But I'm here
to break the glass and ruin everyone's fun. It was
not a dope catch, it's deception. It bounced and we're
seeing an edit of that every time. If this guy's
been a roll with it, yeah, but what does he tell?
I feel like every broadcast is also rolling with it? Like, hello,

(01:42:20):
did anyone see the clip? Hello? Like? How are we
still talking about this a week later and it's still
making the Highlights win again? Danny gee, if you see
the proper angle, he didn't catch it on the fly.
It bounces on the black and then he catches. They
fooled me. I didn't know that was edite did I,
And at first I'm like, could you know you're out
of your mind? That who is to catch of the year.

(01:42:41):
And then if you look at it, Gary Cohen, the
Mets announcer, who's the best in the game. Gary Cohen
is the one that's sort of like creates this narrative
because he goes, look at that Ronnie Keith catch, Look
at this dad. This guy's going viral. And by the way, Rich,
I'm not here to up on the great dad moment

(01:43:02):
of course at all, Like, hey, that's still an awesome moment.
You know, he should still be pumped about it. That's
still cool. But he didn't catch it. I'm the fly
the way everyone thinks. Let me ask you, how do
you react when someone gives you an accolade you don't deserve?
Because Danny g if people don't know the clip are
talking about, it was a home run to dead center field.

(01:43:22):
Now if you know all you know, I'll give everyone
another fun fact is maybe this is one of those
things I thought everyone on Earth knew, but they don't know.
You know why the center field is blacked out in
every stadium? Everybody knows that, do they? Everybody listening to
Fox Sports. I would think they would, but every center
field can't have seats because it's a distraction to the
batter's eye. Eyeline, I don't know if do you think

(01:43:46):
every single person knew that? Yeah, unless they're like six,
You know, people are dumb, man, not the Fox Sports
radio people look at you kissing everyone's but true, I'm
a man of the people. Steve Covinos ever assumed that
you were too dumb to know that? You don't think
you guys are all Neil de Grasse Tyson. Do they
know who Nail deGrasse Tyson is? So who? It's my

(01:44:08):
It's my step uncle, Neil de Grosse Tyson, the astrophysicist.
Smartest man I've ever seen anyway. He used to take
me to chuck e cheese. There is a there's a
clip where you think this dad catches it a home
run on the fly, bare handed with a baby in
one arm, leaning over the railing. But he leans his

(01:44:30):
baby over the railing like like Michael Jackson leading a
baby over a balcony in the two thousands. When you edit,
it does look remarkable, But the ball bounces first, it
bounced on the center field. I guess you would say
black like the black netting and not even netting that
black area bout and then it looks like he catches
it on a fly. He does not. If you're this dad,

(01:44:51):
do you roll the like, Yeah, it's very deceiving. And
I'm just I'm almost like, shame on all these sports
shows for showing that and and deceiving in the public too.
It's like, it's not what happened. I would be I
wouldn't wait. And I gotta say, here's partially why I'm
a little upset by this is because we're all being duped. Yeah,
not me duped. But I also think the greatest catch

(01:45:13):
that ever was by a fan is still that Bear.
Was it a Bears fan that jumped, Yes, that's the
best extra point? It was Riches Dad, everybody whoever this was,
it's my dad in the eighties. It was richest dad
in the eighties. And it was remarkable. It was amazing.
Still the timing though, that dude was flipping in the

(01:45:35):
air like a gymnast. Was. I love how Danny g
knows what we're talking about. Yeah, a guy jumps right
times perfectly with the extra point and catches the extra
point like mid air. Was sick. That's the love that one.
Now you're talking now, alright, had that dad with the
baby caught that on the fly, that would have been
a ten out of ten. So still impressive, but how

(01:45:55):
many out of ten? What out of ten is that
it was? Still it's still like a joyous moment, right, Yeah,
he still didn't give the little child brain damage aid
dropping the gut on its head. Like if you see
a line drive, come right back to the second level
and someone bare hands a line drive, you know, back

(01:46:16):
into like the loge middle section, that's a catch. If
it bounces off a seat, no one annoys me. Danny
G I saw this that Dodger Stadium on Friday night.
The ball bounces in the crowd goes underneath like twenty seats.
Everyone's an idiot. They're scrambling around like uncoordinated buffoons. And
then after like thirty seconds, yeah, after like thirty seconds,
one nerd pops open. He's like, and I'm like, don't

(01:46:37):
cheer for him, don't you dare cheer for him? Is
an idiot? Seat? I hate him. I'm watching that old
school clip that I spoke of the extra point, like
the dude dives and catches the field, goals a helmet on,
and yeah, but he falls into like the what's it called,
like the trestle, Like he falls into that area. You know,
we're going little funnel, he falls into the like that

(01:47:01):
is one of the best sports that's one of the
best sports clips. So anyway, I just wanted to point
that out. Guys like I don't want our Fox Sports
Radio listeners like sending it off to other people, like
you believe that it's a deceiving clip. And it's still
it's still really a cool it's a cool snag, but
it's certainly not a guy did not catch a four
and twenty ft home run bare handed holding a baby

(01:47:23):
on a fly. No, we're a little misleft there. Um,
let's go to Steve to Sagra and then I want
to end the show with what I think is an
athlete who handled himself in such a way, in such
a good way, that I feel like everyone should be
following the lead of someone in the world of Major
League Baseball. Derek Jeter segment. No, it's not no, no,

(01:47:45):
not not your captain. He's on social media now, man,
it's a big deal. Not my captain. All right, let's
kind of Steve, what's up, Steve, you're talking about Tommy
Fam obviously, yes, Tommy Fam. That guy handles his business
the right way. We got under thirty seconds last thing
a two of the NBA Finals Golden State after a
huge third quarter with a big lead on Boston late
one oh seven to eighty five. Jayson Tatum with twenty

(01:48:08):
eight points for the Celtics, but he's a minus thirty
six on the court tonight. Celtics until a moment ago,
we're only shooting thirty six percent from the floor. Meanwhile
leading the way for the Warriors and only playing three quarters.
Steph Curry with twenty nine points on a night where
Clay Thompson is four of nineteen shooting. Golden State's gonna
win this in a blowout. It is now final one

(01:48:29):
oh seven to eight eight. In the decisive third quarter,
Warriors outscored him by twenty one, which is there as
a franchise, their best point differential in any finals quarter.
In the third quarter tonight, Boston had four baskets five turnovers.
They go back home tied one game apiece. Boston hosting
games three and four Wednesday and Friday. Utah head coach

(01:48:54):
Quinn Snyder stepped down after eight seasons and six straight
playoff appearances. Terry Stotts X of Portland, who was up
for the Lakers job, is now among the candidates for
the Utah opening, according to The Athletic. In the NHL,
Tampa Bay a three two winner today against the New
York Rangers. Rangers still lead the East Final two games
to one. West Final continues tomorrow night. Raphael Nadal won

(01:49:15):
the French Open in straight sets. He just turned thirty
six this past week, so he's now the oldest French
Open winner ever. Cocoa Golf of the US lost in
the women's doubles final. Wimbledon starts in three weeks. Billy
Horschel took the Memorial by four strokes. In the USFL
on Fox TV, Philadelphia defeated Michigan forty six Michigan one

(01:49:35):
and seven. Wales won its World Cup playoff one nothing
over Ukraine on an own goal. Joey Legano took the
NASCAR Race outside St. Louis. Kyle Bush finished second, his
brother Kurt Busch was third. So the Sunday night ball game,
it's the Cardinals in the lead. In the top of
the eleventh inning for three at the Cubs, Mets one
in ten innings five four at the Dodgers Padres one

(01:49:56):
intend and ning six, four at Milwaukee Seattle one intend
and ning six five at Texas Yankees one in ten
at Thanks five four over Detroit. Yanks have won six
in a row. The Angels lost their eleventh straight game,
giving up a three run homer bottom of the ninth
at Philadelphia nine seven Phillies. Back to you, man, so
much for that. Both l A and New York teams

(01:50:17):
are in first. That that was short lived. That you
knew the Angels would something would go wrong as soon
as their deal to sell the Angels the city of
Anaheim sell the Angels the stadium fell through because of
corruption in the Anaheim city council. The Angels have not
won a game, oh my god, even in a row.
So keep them. Look at it this way. They were
twenty seven and seventeen tank games over five. They were

(01:50:38):
tied for first May seven and seventeen Steve Desager. And
now they go from ten games over five hundred, now
they're playing under five baseball. That's unbelievable. And they're playing
the Mets this next week. Right that is not going
to get easy for the Mets are playing in San Diego,
and there's so many dumb stories that came up this
week that I wrote down that we're not even gonna
have time for because we had an action packed show.

(01:50:58):
Thanks Steve Disager. Did you see that? Uh? Sure, it's
not gonna be a big deal. But his dog bit
his hand. You don't know the story? No, I don't
think I saw that. I ob you know, the forty
something million dollar New York Mets pitcher, the highest paid
professional athlete in Major League Baseball. He this will not
affect his rehab, He called it a non story. But

(01:51:23):
his dog, he took a day off Amer's rehab because
his dog bit his pitching hand. And everyone's like that,
is there anything more Mets than that? Even though the
Mets are really playing well. Now, I mean, who's his dog,
Edwin Daz, that's my dog? Nope, how do you know dog?

(01:51:43):
But no, that's a pretty crazy thought, right to think
that Max Scherzer his dog got scared a little startled, right,
That's why. And I'm about to really make a lot
of people upset here listening to Fox Sports Radio. Keep
your mud at home, you know, you're at home, deep
boyard this supermarket. Everyone's so entitled, bringing her dog everywhere everywhere.

(01:52:03):
How do you know some kids not gonna startle that dog.
How do you know keep your kid at home? How
do you know kids a person. It's a big difference. Well,
two things I wanted to get to be by the
end of the show. One of them was my unpopular
opinion I think is that I really like the extra
ending man on second base. I know, Danny g you

(01:52:25):
said it's for the Birds. I don't like it. I'll
tell you what. Look, I don't all these extra inning
games that have like fun quick finishes in the tenth ending.
Do you want do you want sixteen inning games? The
basically it's already so long. Like I like the strategy.
I like the hey, alright, what are we doing with
the man on second We're trying to push him over.
We're gonna just we can't baseball is too long, and
then complain about this. The Dodgers struggled with that for

(01:52:50):
a few seasons. Every time they would get into the postseason,
that would be the weak spot. And you saw the
decision that the Dodgers manager Dave Roberts made where he
was trying to pitch mckins three position player the other night.
That was yesterday's game. Remember the jumps were like your Mets.
Your manager said, no, you can't do that. You're not
losing by six runs or more. Dodgers are rolling down

(01:53:11):
by five. But that that's why the Dodgers wanted to
rest their relievers. I don't know if a lot of
people know that rule. It's the is it a six
run is it an official rule or it's a rule
six runs or more you have to be trailing by
to put a position player in to pitch. I think
we're seeing more and more of that too, though. Yeah,

(01:53:33):
I think it's cool. I think it's cool when you
see I don't know, and a blowout and sort of
makes it a little fun at least, right watching Poole
throw a couple in, throwing in come on? Uh? And
the other thing I wanted to say before we got
out of here today. I know we got like another segment,
but your boy, nasty Nestor Cortez, that's right, unbelievable for
a guy, for a guy that you know, let's be honest.

(01:53:54):
He was criticized weeks ago for tweets that he sent
a long time ago, right in his high school days.
His high school days, he was very quick to what
I think is pulling a really class act move when
it comes to very old baseball announcer Jim Jim Cott,

(01:54:18):
former Yankee announcer and now Twins announcer Jim Cott. I
don't know what he was thinking, but he called him
Nest the molester. Well again, he's thinking from a different
era because that was like, yeah, any lester, but he
called him. Now there is Nasty Nest, Nest the molester,

(01:54:38):
and and everyone immediately their first instinct was, oh, are
they going to cancel Jim Cotty's old he doesn't know
what's going on anymore. And Nasty nestor who is not,
for the record, Nest to the molester. He reached I mean,
I have it right here. Read it. He reached out
and said, Hey, everybody, Jim Cott has spent an entire
lifetime in this game. We love He stout to me

(01:55:00):
and apologize for his remark last night, but he didn't
need to. We all make mistakes and feel there was
no malice intended. I plan on lifting him up with
his tweet, and I hope others do too, no sweat here, Jim.
I thought that was awesome, my class act for a
guy who's having a cy young type of season. It's
his he I told you, the insanity is real with

(01:55:21):
this guy, Nestor Cortez. I'll give him so much credit
for that, because in a world where everyone is so
quick to want to criticize and cancel and and to
take people's jobs. And I mean, Jim count did pulling
an old guy move here, though, Yeah, But I mean
like the fact that Nestor Cortez was like, listen, he meant,

(01:55:42):
he meant, he meant it will know what no what
Nestor Cortez said. Listen, if anyone should be offended or
bothered by the way, chimnt is eighty three. If anyone
should be bothered or offended, it's me. And guess who's
not bothered or offended me. So let's move on. And
great move by Nestor. I wish more people would do that.

(01:56:03):
Do you wish everyone would do that? All right? Listen,
We'll wrap up more coven on rich next right here
on Fox Sports Radio, Farrell leave Jim Cott alone, leave
him alone, and by the way, nasty Nestor Cortez came
to Jim Cott's defense after Jim called him nest to

(01:56:25):
the molester. I just want to read the stat to you.
I saw a Nestor Cortes stat. While you're getting that up,
let me let me ask Don Brown. Let's say, because
you you say there's things that you are believing are obvious.
But I wonder if everyone knows what was Farrell? What
was his first project to people know him for when
he was a young he was a teenage seventeen, he

(01:56:47):
was like seventeen. Do you know, don Danny J producer?
Farrell was a producer on something when he was like seventeen.
Do you know what it was? Because his first big
thing before any r D Yeah, I don't remember hearing
this back in the day. All I want to do
is zoom zooms yea in effects, just shake your rump.
He produced rump Shaker for rex in Effects. So Nestor

(01:57:09):
Cortez get off this guy, will you? Eighteen straight starts?
Eighteen straight starts allowing three runs or fewer, the second
longest threek in franchise history. You have to go to back,
go back to nineteen ten when russ Ford did it.
But that's the kind of numbers, or go back like

(01:57:31):
a year when Jacob de Graham did it. I guaranteed
the ground has that beat. We'll find find it, prove it.
I'm gonna call, I'm gonna call. I'll lie us at
the sports we are right now. It Nestor Cortez eighteen
straight starts allowing three runs or fewer. Might be nineteen
now typing with your microphone. I'm gonna prove him wrong

(01:57:52):
in the next minute before we go home. Dude, it's Nasty. Well,
I hope all your team's won this weekend. Game two
is over. The Warriors beat the Celtics convincingly tonight, so
that changes things a little bit. And the next game
has one Danny three weeks from now on Steve Disager's birthday.

(01:58:15):
That doesn't matter from now alright, So now d Grom
set Major League Baseball record for consecutive starts allowing three
runs or less. Jacob deGrom's also a cy Young Award winner.
Like this guy, Nasty Nestor Cortez. No' we even heard
of him until this year. He's he's like a you
know what's it called? Just a great story? The utility

(01:58:37):
like a sort of like a spot starter the Journeyman
turned Superstar Cinderella story. Well, how many does he have?
He went eighteen straight starts. I think it maybe nineteen
now with three or less runs. By the way, another
cool old clip to go look at. Earlier, you were
talking about the Kobe Bryant jersey that sold for almost

(01:58:58):
three million at auction. Jason tweeted us he said, don't
forget David Wells bought a Babe Ruth Yankees hatch and
wore it during the game. Yeah, they made him take
it off. Gee, that is gang It's so gangster. They
made him take it off because it didn't go with you,
you know, the current uniform. Watched, I watched, that's a
great move. We got watch a clip on Instagram or TikTok,

(01:59:19):
which is where I get all my information. Um, But
it was David Wells telling the story. It was probably
on a Yankee Yes Network documentary. He tells a story
about how the night before his perfect Game, he was
at the after party for Saturday Night Live and he
was trashed, and he woke up the next morning early
because he got little kids at the time, and he

(01:59:40):
said he went to Yankee Stadium hungover, feeling like butt
cheeks like terrible, and he's like, let's hope I get
through this. And he pitches a perfect game. That David
Well story. By the way, the does the number of
your boy has to beat the Grom did it for
twenty six games. That's incredible. But he's also Jacob deGrom.
He and he's built that reputation. This is all new

(02:00:01):
for Nasty Nestor again. It's Nasty Nestor Quartet. We'll see
you guys next weekend. Enjoy, have a great week. You
deserve it, uh, And we'll see then in the meantime
