I said, some giveaways and midweek major just nice words
of wisdom. I'll sit here and bring the good vibrations,
you know what I mean, shouting out all the California
girls beach boys style. I wanted to bring this up
because I saw that four legendary movies have come out

(02:48):
on this day, June eleventh. Now I want to go
around the room and I want to see if it's
clear that we have an order of these four movies. Okay,
four movies. We've all seen all four. But if I
said rank these movies, I wonder if you and like Iowa,
Sam or Danny would have a completely different order. Let's

(03:10):
go back to nineteen eighty two.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Et Phone home Et. Actually he never says that. It's
a fun fact. Mendel's home Phoneme found no one has
a home phone anymore, So home phone, you don't got one? Et.

Speaker 3 (03:30):
I'll be right, he.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Sot, such a great movie came out on this day
in nineteen eighty two. If you want to go to
nineteen eighty six Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Oohmueller Bueller.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
We talked about that last Thursday, June eleventh was the date, right,
that was his actual Yeah, that was the release date
of the movie.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
And eighty six eighty five, Yeah, the date same day
Rich played Hooky Flash.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
That's true. Sexual day Off?

Speaker 2 (04:04):
Yeah, e t nineteen eighty two, Ferris Bueller, nineteen eighty six,
nineteen ninety nine, on this day, Yeah, baby, do I
make you Randy? Is he talking about Randy Johnson or
Randy Quid Randy Vallardi? Oh okay, Yeah, it's a misconception.
Everyone thinks, yeah, baby, it's gotta be the big unit.

(04:25):
But now Yankee Utility infielder Randy Vallardi Number eighteen. So
Austin Powers on this day. So I think I just
named three movies of our childhood.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, but so far the cle E T.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Ferris Bueller, Austin Powers, and the fourth movie that came
out on this day.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Let's go to the two thousands, four twenty one years ago.
Napoleon Dynamite. Vote for Pedro Make Yourself a Casadilla. Very
good movie. That was a turning point in humor.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
By the way, that's when I realized the humor is
changing a lot, because I didn't like the movie at first.
Now I love it, cult classic, uberly successful considering the
budget it was made on. Napoleon Dynamite voted for Pedro
did all that stuff? The order was that the last
I be voted or did you vote for bo Bice
on American Idol? I forget both. The order is simple.

(05:23):
I wonder if we have the same one or it's
completely Where do you want me to start from best
to worst? Let's start worse the first worst to first?
What are you, Spider Harrison? Are you Casey?

Speaker 1 (05:31):
Casey? Coming in at number four?

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Coming number four based out of Iaho Idaho is Napoleon Dynamite.
I Number four is Napoleon does as much as I
like it. Yeah, I say that respectfully. Coming in at
number three, Austin Powers. Absolutely, you're on your mind. Let
me finish my list, okay. Coming in number two Ferris

(05:59):
Bueller's Day Off and by far not even close.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
ET number one.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
ET is a magical Mammethian movie of the eighties, as
great as Ferris Bueller is, and it's one of the classics.
We discussed that recently. ET is on another level of
cinematic masterpiece that goes down in history. It's so heart wrenching.
You can only watch it here and there. Ferris Bueller's

(06:27):
on all the time.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
ET was also kind of creepy though for us when
we were a little kid. Gee, you know our orders.
Some people were scared of our order is not terribly
different because of the scientists. Remember in the big suits tunnels.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was a little scary, it was, but it was magical.
There was a un Is there a universe? Was there
a universal ride for Ferris Bueller? I see absolutely no.
There was a ride for ET for years and you're
flying on your bicycle, riding across the moon, with et
give me a break.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Ferris Bueller is great, but it's a number two.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
Here a child known as Drew Barrymore Reese's pieces getting
their big breakcause Eminem's was like, nah, the aliens are scary,
so many great stories behind the movie. I didn't have
Ferris Bueller bed sheet. My list is slightly different. Napoleon Dynamite,
it's definitely number four. Yeah, they're all great, though, so
let's be clear on that they're all good for the
what they are.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I think Ferris Buell a number three.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Okay, you forget that Austin Powers, that was a big deal.
Mike Myers, that's number two.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
But et.

Speaker 2 (07:32):
Fuhe Et is got to be number one, which makes
me want to remind everyone. I've sat down with my kids.
My kids are eight and five. I'm surprised because I
knew you were always a Mac and Me kind of guy.
I love Mac and Me too. I would have put
that number one. I have sat down my kids. We've
watched Goonies together. Yeah, and I'm trying to go through

(07:56):
all the classics. ET's a touchy one because, like Danny
g said, it's it's gonna be a roller coaster of
they're scared. They're gonna cry at the end. The first
scary of my sister Dawn. Yes, Slothed is a little scared.
There's a little scariness of one eyed Lillian. All that.
My sister Dawn, when she was a little kid, wept,
wept when she saw Et, like uncontrollable, like don it's

(08:17):
gonna be all right.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
It's an emotional movie for a little kid.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
So I just want to remind everyone some of these classics.
It's interesting to see what stands attest the time. My
kids really liked Goonies. My wife insisted that they watch
Homeward Bound too.

Speaker 1 (08:32):
It's like Wizard of Oz.

Speaker 2 (08:33):
It's a little touchy because it's magical, but it's scary
with the Witch for little kids.

Speaker 1 (08:38):
Here's a time and place.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
My daughter watched Wizard of Oz before I took her
to see Wicked. She's eight, which I thought was right
down the red edge.

Speaker 1 (08:44):
That's a good age.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
And I'm shocked that I haven't even thought to break
out ET. Now you put that number one, so we
agree on that. Yeah, anybody else for an order that
differs or at first I thought Et and Austin powers
close because.

Speaker 1 (09:00):
You're out of here.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
I forget the influence and goofy ass movie that isn't
even number two, but whatever. So one is a comedy
first of all comedies, will never be in that category,
but doesn't even come close to ET and the magical
feeling it gave to every little kid in the eighties
that wanted to ride their BMX across the sky Man.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
We don't have to fight about it, jeez, I'm kidding.
Does anybody else agree or disagree? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (09:25):
I think Austin Powers in Napoleon are close at four
and three.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Yeah. Wow.

Speaker 3 (09:30):
I'm gonna give the the edge to Napoleon Dynamite though, because,
like at home, we quote that movie more often, and
I think it just left more of an impact.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
It's funny, man. Yeah, Danny g not down with the fembots.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
No, I mean I liked Austin Powers and then I
would go ET It's not My Baby and Ferris Bueler
number one.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Wow, Okay, okay, right, I could see that. I mean,
we talked about it last week, how how huge that
movie is. We said it was the number one comedy
drama teen comedy drama of the eighties, So I could
see that. But ET is like upper echelon cinematic masterpiece up.

Speaker 5 (10:06):
I also feel that there's this interesting dichotomy, if you will,
between ET and what Napoleon Dynamite is and how they
were made, who they were made by, and everything that
came with it. So I think that that ET is
this machine, but part of what made Napoleon Dynamite Dynamite
great was the simplicity of it, and in that aspect, yeah,

(10:30):
they barely spend any money to make it.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:32):
So so that's that's what I find is interesting in
all of this. I had fair Buller number one. I
would put Napoleon Dynamite two on my list because I
feel I reference it more than I do anything of
Austin Powers.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
I see, and I was just too I don't.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
I wasn't too young for Et, I remember, but in
these other three movies would be like Wheelhouse of teenager
early twenties.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Every one rewatches Yeah, ET, you might have seen twice
in your life, not to they myself, and I know
a shocking being how young and Sprian handsome I look
and everything. But I remember seeing Et in the theater yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Eighty yeah, I did so. I was a little eighties kid.
I was like this is the greatest movie. I was
trying to hold back my bottle tears. You were the
first to try Reese's pieces.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
I had my little red sweatshirt. Man, I wanted to
be like Ellie Well on this day. They all came
out before before we get to Jamis Winston A magical
movie day. Yeah, before we get to Jameis Winston and
some NFL and some NBA finals.

Speaker 1 (11:33):
Does each of those four movies have et phone? Home phone? Home?

Speaker 2 (11:40):
What I thought? He says home phone? I think there
was a Mandela effect. I think in the part where
he's in the bedroom with La, he says home phone.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
So he's cooking you, convincing me. Remember he got twisted too,
Remember how drunk you got that guy. Remember when the
Flower came back to life. I remember was a little
kid being like, oh well, Elliott starts with an E
ends with a T E T.

Speaker 6 (12:04):
They're they're synced up, Yeah, boy, because like their health
is aligned.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, magical movie. If there is there a obviously we
said E T phone home? Are there is there a
quote from each of those movies? Like that's the quote?
His farest feel of life moves pretty fast. I'll be here,
I'll be at phone home is what everybody says, So
I'd say probably that from Austin Powers.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Yeah, baby, Yes.

Speaker 6 (12:32):
There is a quote from the beginning of e T
where Elliott calls his brother something very offensive and it breath. Yes,
the absolute funniest thing I've ever heard, and it's an
insult that will live on forever.

Speaker 1 (12:42):
I call Rich that all the time.

Speaker 3 (12:44):
There's so many From Napoleon Dynamite. Yes, if the kids
are complaining there's nothing to eat, my wife will always say,
go make yourself a damn casadilla. If you vote for me,
all of your wildest dreams will come true them.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, the Pedro.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (13:01):
How many times do we say I could throw football
over the mountains?

Speaker 1 (13:05):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Good?

Speaker 2 (13:05):
Do you know how many people are just realizing that
Uncle Rico is the dude from The White Lotus.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
People haven't put that together? Uncle Rico? Is Is it Gary?
Is that who it is? Jerry Gary from the White Lotus?
Is that the character's name?

Speaker 7 (13:22):
What?

Speaker 1 (13:23):
I don't know? That guy's had a lot of roles.
He has the hair in White Lotus, right, is.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
Exactly He's bald and obviously, honestly in Napoleon Dynamite, he
looks like he's wearing a wig there too.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
But yeah, my wing guy, all right, what's the quote
from faris Bueller? Then?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Is it life moves pretty fast? Or is it just
Bueller's jueler? I think it is Bueller. I think it's
ben Stein.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
You know what? You know it might be You're right,
because honestly, that one.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
That's the one you might quote the most because if
someone's not here, like where's Danny, would be like Bueller
mule like you would say that.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Till his day? All right?

Speaker 2 (13:55):
So, and by the way, I think it's Greg from
The White Lotus? Is Uncle Rica from Napoleon Dynamite?

Speaker 1 (14:01):
Well for Pedro originally? Hey, you know what, I have
large talents? That's my favorite play. Do the chickens have
large talents?

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Maybe we have to watch a magic one of those
magical movies after the NBA Finals game or if OKSE
is up twenty five at half times you can watch
ET tonight with your kids. Yeah, but Et, you gotta
bust out the popcorn. Everyone's gotta shut up. You gotta
pay attention. No talking over the movie, no busting out
the phone.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
You know what I mean. It's one of those special ones.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
Now we ended yesterday's show with this, so we have
to continue today. We got to talk over Promise and
by the way, if you have any thoughts on these
movies eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But we
talked about Jameis Winston and what a colorful guy he is,
and how funny he is and how great he is
just as a personality. The story was that former New

(14:57):
Orleans Saints running back mark Ing shared that Jameis Winston
once gave a speech that started with the prayer. So
you can imagine that, right, they're all praying, He's doing
his thing, but the prayers end here. Yeah, you can
totally see him doing that. The prayer ended with him

(15:19):
singing the Monday Night football theme song. So talk about
a roller coaster again of emotions. He went from Ephesians
four thirty two to Faith Hill. Yeah, are you read it?
He went from Corinthians to Hank Williams Junior. And that's
Jameis Winston in a nutshell. Hey, I'm in a nutshell.

(15:40):
Great Austin Powers quote.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Hey, loop it back around, Yeah, hobly done, come back
there you go.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
So, now, based on that, because that sounds kind of odd,
there's been some great speeches in sports history, in TV history,
but we want to go over some of the worst ones,
because how could he take anybody serious when they're doing
this full on prayer into that goofiness which is the

(16:06):
theme song. And again I get it, Loosen everybody up,
it's fun, it's memorable, it's all those things. But based
on that, some of the worst speeches that come to mind.
Did he do the Monday Night theme in spoken word?
Like are you ready for some football? A Monday night party?
We got Frank alan Dan to get a kickstart, Like

(16:26):
did he say it in word or song? No, it
says oh, singing, singing. It ended with him singing the
Monday Night football theme song. You can imagine what the
other teammates must have been thinking, like watching this go down.
But this guy is so in his zone, as we've
come to notice in the past few years. So that's
the story of Jameis Winston told by mark Ingram And

(16:48):
when it comes to by the way, it ties into
your previous discussion rich about the movies. When you think
about the worst speeches, the one that comes to mind,
I think for most people, and correct me if I'm wrong,
Because we open it up to everybody eight seven to
seven ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
L Fox.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
I think the worst speech is from one of my
favorite movies. Didn't come out on this day, but we
all saw the wedding singer Stevemy has Cyndy Scott and
Cindy's wedding. Yeah, when Stevemy does his speech, I think
that's everybody's reference to, like the worst speech ever.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
Because it's sod.

Speaker 4 (17:29):
My brother Harold asked me to be the best man
at his wedding. I was like, oh, of course, man,
because you've always been there for me.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
In rehab and at the time I couldn't find my
car because Harold, you know, he's always been the dependable
one and I've always been the screwed up one.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Right then, why can't you be more like your brother?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Everyone would never beat up his landlord.

Speaker 4 (18:11):
But little loose flash Pop Harold ain't so perfect. I've
been that time in Puerto Rico when we picked up
those two, well.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I guess they would prostitute, but I don't remember paying. Okay,
I'm not that. I'm a person too. Bop a person too,
You're a mod.

Speaker 6 (18:36):
Okay, the best man, everybody best man the better man.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
He like stumbles off the stage, like the way he
falls is so great, Like Steve BUSHMI own that worst
best man speech ever. I think that's a lot of
our generations go to when you have the thought of
worst speech as ever. It could be in your personal life,
could be from a movie, it could be something you
saw at a sporting event, could have been in a
huddle you were in.

Speaker 4 (19:04):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (19:04):
Did you see that clip from like a month ago
on social media where the dudes at his anniversary party
but he knows his wife was cheating on him. It
was his fortieth birthday. Oh, it was his fortieth birthday. Yeah,
it was the fireman from New Jersey. If I'm not mistaken.
He was from.

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Was it Bayone or Belleville or Bloomfield?

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I forget where he was from. But yeah, he's celebrating
his fortieth and everyone at first thinks he's goofing around.
He's like, yeah, I know, I know, because you're a
huo and he goes off saying like I know you
did this, I know you did that, and he did
goes off on the wife and everyone's like, oh my god,
is this for real?

Speaker 1 (19:41):
And he used that opportunity when viral.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yes, it broke the internet, as they say, Jersey fireman,
and it was an absolutely true story. When things like
that happen, your first thought is this is stage, this
is fake, this is for the clicks for the gram.
But this was a real one. Look, I'm from Jersey.
And it got around where everyone's like, yeah, I know
that dude, and yeah it's it's real And this is
what happened, absolutely real story. If you haven't seen it,

(20:04):
it's the most awkward thing you've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Because everyone's there to celebrate the guy and he pulls a.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Bouchemy like yeah, yeah, thank you everybody for coming out
to my in laws.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I love you guys and everybody. Can you believe we're
all here? And by the way, I know, no, you
know what he does?

Speaker 2 (20:19):
He has her like there and he gets down and
he takes her ring off and says he has a
new one for her. But he does yeah, and he
takes it and he's like, yeah, I know what she
did and this.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
And that and calls her out. Real awkward man. That
has to be down in the history books. I will
say this the key to speeches.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
While we take your feedback, I think is not to
make it about yourself at all. I know it is
a movie, but before he even went off, what makes
the Steve Bouchemi thing funny and relatable is that we've
all been somewhere where someone does a speech and somehow
they start making it about them all the time. Every time,
I always find that odd one awkward part of even

(20:59):
a bride bride maid. It's like I remember when me
and Jethica we're in second grade, we were at my
house or a slumber part. It's like, no one cares
about you or your sommer party. We're here for her wedding.
To that dude, wish it well, toasted and called to day.
Let me please express this. I don't think I've ever
said this on Fox Sports Radio. People who know me
and have grown with the show on Patreon know this.
But that's why I got married in Vaguus and Elves

(21:22):
was there, the whole formality of the speeches and first dances,
and I get it special on all that, but it's
so awkward to me it makes my stomach turn.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
So I wanted to avoid all of that. So you
thought having Elves Marrius, but.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
I just wanted to get it out of the way, dude,
I didn't want to deal with any of that stuff
because it's so awkward.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
I bought some speeches from coaches to bring it back
to sports. This made me think of like five six
years ago on Hard Knocks. Remember John Gruden when he
was going off in front of the team at practice, saying,
everybody's got a dream of making it in the NFL.
Or I got a dream of winning the super Bowl,
or I got a dream of being in the Pro.
But I'm not really into dreams anymore. I'm into nightmares,

(22:04):
he said. And someone's dream, you got to take their job.
You got to take their heart. Yea, that took a turn.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
That was a hell of a cool speech. I remember that.
And was it You don't think.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
It was cool.

Speaker 6 (22:15):
It was a little awkward. Hey, it took weird turns.
I'll just say that.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Well, Cruden's back in a big way. People. People forgave him.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
Do you remember that story from a few years ago
when Marshawn Lynch got in trouble for cursing at little
kids in his speech, like and they didn't like his
coaching style like he was.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Do you remember that.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
And the parents had an issue with it and We're like,
we we talked about it, rich, We're like, it's football.
It's a different sort of setting. But the parents were
real offended with how he was addressing the kids in
those speeches and huddles because he was cursing at them,
and that became an issue and a little awkward.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
I imagine, all right.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
Well, hey, your thoughts on jamis the worst speeches anything
you want to bring up, and you know it so
of ties together with something baseball legend Adam Wainwright says
that her every time he talks to kids when he coaches,
and it's on his own kids, and it has to
do with what he emphasizes. He said, Hey, this is

(23:12):
what he'll say for kids.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
I have three rules, and I'll give the kids a
little speech.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
Be a great teammate, have fun out there, and play
your hardest. Those are the three rules. Anything else doesn't
matter when you're coaching kids. So just thought you had
on some awkward or funny speeches in the world of sports.
And while you have a minute, check out that Nick
Galante wife cheating on on fortieth birthday. It's a crazy

(23:40):
speech that went viral about a month ago.

Speaker 1 (23:42):
Look that freedom.

Speaker 2 (23:45):
Now we'll take your phone calls next and again prizes
to give away Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom if you
could repeat verbatim plus Midweek Major and more right here
on Fox Sports Radio, Cavino and Rich. Is this Jamus Winston?
Is this Jamus Winston singing after prayer?

Speaker 5 (24:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (24:08):
That's awkward.

Speaker 2 (24:09):
Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio studio.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
For over forty.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
Years, tire rack has been helping customers find the right
tires for what, how and where they drive. Ship fast
and free back by free Road has a protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installations, all at tire
raq dot com. Tire buying should be and before we
move on, Rich wrapping up the weirdest weakest speeches of
all time a' llah Jameis Winston's story.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (24:39):
By the way, the most memorable bad speech is from
the movie The Wedding singer Steve Blucemi. It's the number
one answer on the board, at least for our generation.
How many times do you jokingly say the better man? Yeah,
that one is quoted all the time. But Dan Bayer
during the break checked out Nick Galante. He was a
Belleville firefighter who basically called his wife out for being

(25:03):
a cheating, no good for nothing in front of everybody,
and that went viral recently. Really awkward speech that he made,
But it made me think of some other stuff too,
before we move on what you got recently. In the
fight game, you always see some weird things happen because
people are a little punch drunk.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
Anthony Joshua.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
When he lost a fight a few fights back, he
got on the mic and started saying some crazy stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
I was like, someone grabbed the mic from this guy.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
That's why announcers and interviewers never want to give up
their microphone because you never know what these guys are
gonna do with it. This guy made an ask of
himself in front of everybody, if you want to laugh,
U boxer Anthony Joshua, He's on the list. Yeah you know,
I would have put on the list because people have
isolated these because they're just so ridiculous. Have you ever
really listened to some old school wrestling promo speeches from

(25:52):
back in the day. Oh yeah, some of them are great,
Like the Ultimate Warrior, it was just gibberish.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
He's just gibberish. Warriors.

Speaker 2 (26:00):
He's saying nothing, but dude, Anthony Joshua did that in
real life. And speaking of boxing, you can't forget when
Tommy Gunn was doing his speech and he thanked George
Washington Duke instead of Rocky Bolbo.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
That was really awkward. It hurts my heart. It was
an awkward moment.

Speaker 7 (26:19):
Guy.

Speaker 2 (26:19):
So I'd like to thank one man who helped get
me here. Rocky's about to stand up. You know he's
talking about me, absolutely.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Mister George Washington Duke.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Oh, Adrian, it's okay, it's okay. So share your stories
and your thoughts. Awkward speeches. Maybe it was at your wedding.
Every wedding I go to every one, those speeches are
awkward as hell. I mean the groom usually nails it
with the best man's speech. It's a lot of times.
To me, now I sound sexist. It's usually the maid
of honor who goes on and on with like notes

(26:52):
about like let's oh, come on, like you're not thinking
the same.

Speaker 1 (26:55):
Man, Ladies. I want you all to know that's Rich Davis.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
Everybody ving along, Gus it loves got those California That
is the cats.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Everybody, what's up? Man?

Speaker 8 (27:05):
Hey, hey guys, Hey, guys, love this show, and I
agree with you. That's usually the time to run to
the bar when the maid of honors. But so.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Both of you are sexist.

Speaker 8 (27:19):
My dad, believe it or not, shout out to Father's Day.
He used to say the same thing to me. Play hard,
have fun. But the last thing he would say was win.
And I'm wondering if parents even broach that subject with
their kids anymore, if winning even matters.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
But it's interesting you would say that because rich Davis
winning is coached uh in Sports History Club rich.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Davis winning winning percentage of three twenty five. That's true. No,
I you know, I talk about it quite a bit
because it's a big part of my life.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
Now.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
I coach my daughter softball, but right now I'm coaching
my sons. Five you.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Let me repeat that, five you stars. I don't know
how they even make a kid that's five in All Stars.
It seems like the kids that were just interested, they
wanted to keep playing for another month. We have our
first tournament this week and it's the first time these
kids are gonna play where a score is kept. So frankly,
if you guys have any advice, I would love to
hear it because I keep telling them, hey, we're here

(28:19):
to have fun, We're here to learn the game.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
I love baseball. I want you to.

Speaker 2 (28:23):
Love baseball the way coach does. We're gonna have fun,
We're gonna play harder.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Than the other team.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
We're gonna hustle, We're gonna make friends, and this is
gonna be one of the best times of your life.
But I have not talked about winning because I don't
I don't know. I mean, the other team's gonna try
to win. But I've talked to the other coach, Hey, kids,
you want to be a winner or you want to
be a wiener? And see what they say.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
It's a good one. Yeah, that's how it would start.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
I want to be a winner. I have said to
these writers, we're not weenies. I have said to the parents,
every kid's gonna play, No one's gonna sit or anything
like that.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
They're five.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
But I have said to the parents, I mean, mean,
you put money and time into this. The other team's
going to try to win, so we're going to try
to win two. I know winning is in everything at five,
but we are also going to try to win.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
Plant the seed and set the foundation.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
And I said, you know why, I guess if they win,
they're gonna feel good about themselves. We went from worse
speeches to actually great motivational, actually simple teachings, but meaningful
teachings of Adam weaen Wright. He says, for the kids,
I have three rules. One be a great teammate, Two
have fun, and three play your hardest. Those are my

(29:34):
three rules. Every time we get out of the car
and they say them back to me, and I think
it's a great way to play the game. So those
are his three rules. Adam weaen Wright couldn't agree more
famous MLB cardinal, be a good teammate, you're right, try hard?
And you know, I believe it was Derek Jeter who

(29:54):
always talked about no one will out hustle him. Right,
it's hard to beat someone that never quit sectually, Babe Ruth.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
But what a Cheeter had another one too, like no one.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
Maybe I'm giving Jeter Babe credit. Babe Ruth said hot
dogs are great. See he said, I have another hot dog? Yeah,
And he also said hard to be somebody I never
gives up, right, I'm.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
Sure Jeter has some motivational never let the fear of
striking out keep you from playing the game as Babe Ruth.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Oh there you go, see Babe Ruth.

Speaker 2 (30:26):
You ever watch a babe documentary calve you know? And
I watched one where all the players that played with
Babe that were somehow still alive.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
This documentary might have been twenty years ago.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
They all respected and loved the babe so much no
matter what he did that they oversaw all the things
he did. Was like, yeah, the babe slipping my wife,
But that's the babe. Would you believe the babe kick
me in the wave of kick me in the balls
and then took my gal Oh man, the babe.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
He was a hell of a guy. I learned a
lesson that day, a real important lesson in my life.

Speaker 5 (30:53):
Mana the absolute opposite of Nikolante.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
Yeah, yeah, he opposite.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yes, all right now, I want to bring up one thing, Ben.
We're gonna get to Dan Buyer's update, but let me
just throw this out there. I have a story about
Roman Anthony. He is the young stud prospect on the
Boston Red Sox. There's a wild stat about him, and
also is that a character on Spartacus Roman Anthony thoughts
about him and not just about him.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
We'll get to this next. Let's say hi to Dan
Bayer for an update.

Speaker 5 (31:25):
D B boy, what an amazing five minutes it's been
for Danny g Okay at Tiascar, Hernandez just hit a
three run home run for the Dodgers. They leave the
Padres for one of the sixth and the Raiders have
signed free agent linebacker Jermaine Pratt, who's just like you
all the Cincinnati Bengals. Yes, so yeah, maybe by the
end of the update the Lakers will do something.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
I know why Danny g was thrusting in the other studio.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Mix of this and that will get back to the
NFL at baseball at a second, but we start with
the NBA Game three of the Finals tonight, Thunders and Basers,
eight thirty Eastern Time, Kevin Durant his reps and the
Suns talking trade to get him out of Phoenix. The teams,
according to ESPN, that are likely destinations for Durant include
the Timberwolves, Spurs, Rockets, Heat and Nicks. Mavericks denied the

(32:11):
next permission to speak with Ed coach Jason Kidd about
their head coaching vacancy, and Celtics guard Jalen Brown at
arthroscopic surgery on his knee today, but he should be
ready for training camp. In other NFL news, aside from
the Raiders signing of linebacker Jermaine Pratt, there are now
four unsigned first round picks after the Eagles inked first
round pick linebacker Jahad Campbell to his deal. Eagles running

(32:31):
back Sakwon Barkley had the most sales of any player
when it comes to officially licensed products last season. That's
according to the sales numbers from the NFLPA. Now in baseball,
I mentioned, the Dodgers lead the Padres by a score
of four to one. In the sixth inning, j Heneo
Suarez is hit a grand slam for the Diamondbacks. They
lead the Mariners five to two. In the eighth inning.
It's the third of the season for Suarez. Guardians lead

(32:53):
the red beat the Reds today eleven to two. Bravestoped
the Brewers six to two, taking two of three. In Milwaukee,
Phillies were seven two winners against the Cubs. Pirates beat
the Marlins five to two, and right now down in Anaheim,
the Athletics are on top of the Angels three nothing.
In the sixth inning guys back to you.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
Thank you, dB.

Speaker 2 (33:10):
When you talk about Kevin Durant, obviously people are gonna say, oh,
the Knicks, that would be crazy new coach. If they
bring in Durant, is that would brings them over the top.
But san Antonio, I know, you know, Popovich more of
a front office role. But you get Wimby and a
lot of those young players. They have what number two
pick I believe.

Speaker 5 (33:29):
Well, yeah, but that could be I don't think it'd
be used for Durant. Could be wrong, but the core
of young players that they have could be sent to Phoenix.
But you still have Deeran Fox that you brought in
on a trade from Sacramento, and that would be quite
the trio that you would have.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
San Antonio could get right back in it.

Speaker 2 (33:45):
Yes, absolutely interesting, Thank you dB. Durant played in New
York before, That's right. I totally that the I think
he wants to forget where Brooklyn at, but he's familiar
with the city, so don't count it out. Now, there's
a story about Roman Anthony and he wasn't Spartacus.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
His hell Boston Red Sox rookie, superstar rookie. Yeah, high
expectations here. Is guy.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
There's a few things to point out about this guy,
and we're gonna get to it next. One has to
do with a family member of his, one has to
do with how damn young he is, and one has
to do about mental error. So there's a lot of
things already about this dude I want to talk about,
So Roman Anthony will get to that, plus Midweek Major
and wasted talent and sports all this and more Covino

(34:30):
and Rich right here Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (34:38):
Hey, Hey, Covino and Rich.

Speaker 2 (34:41):
I was sending the so many reasons to be playing
the song Billy Idol White wedding from of course the
waiting singer Oh Yea. But also there is love in
the air in the National Football League.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
Everybody, did you get your invite to Aaron Rodgers wedding?

Speaker 2 (34:58):
Aaron Rodgers married Josh Allen, saying, Haley Steinfeld the best
thing that ever happened to me. She makes life easy,
which is what everyone should feel about their spouse. And
some people are saying Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift are
secretly married because there was Eddy is there was a
wedding invitation that Dade too, mister and missus, Travis and

(35:18):
Taylor Kelsey and people are now like word a minute.

Speaker 1 (35:21):
So love is in the NFL air.

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Well, Rich, I'll turn it over to you because now
it is time for our tire rack play of the
day Vino and Rich. Love was in the air last
night at City Field when my dude Jeff McNeil hit'll
walk off leading off the bottom of the tenth winning
run at second base, Henry Deals swinging the line.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
Drive right field, base hit.

Speaker 5 (35:44):

Speaker 1 (35:48):
Acunia race is on by no Tag Ball game.

Speaker 7 (35:52):
Mat swa it again in ten five for New York
over Washington.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Put it in the books Mets Win courtesy the metsra Network.
And last night, first pitch, so you know the overtime overtime,
you know the extra inning rules where obviously a guy
starts at second, Acuna gets the second first pitch, mcdel
live drive base hit, So extra innings lasted one pitch.
I saw it, and your boy Soto hit another opposite
feel blast, so he's heat in the right now, And

(36:19):
that's your tire rack play of the Day. For over
forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the
right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship
fast and free back by free road hazard protection with
convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack the
way tire.

Speaker 1 (36:34):
Buying should be. I'm Covino.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
That is rich Danny g Sam Bayer spot is getting
ready for midweek major and we have one call now. Yeah,
to wrap up this, Adam Wainwright best speech sort of
thing about the kids.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
By the way, you mentioned my dude Soto.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
Nobody did last night for the first time as a
Met not the Soto shuffle, smiled. I don't know, but
there's videos of him smiling where it's funny how people
trying to paint this picture that he hates the Mets one.
Soto for the first time last night did the cool
thing he did last year is a Yankee where he
sees a pitch that he gets beat on. He looks
at the picture and goes, okay, and the next pitch

(37:09):
hit a bomb. Did you do that?

Speaker 1 (37:11):
He said?

Speaker 2 (37:11):
Okay, guys want he said, Okay, I'm just kidding guy, Okayda,
I don't like him anymore.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Man.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Is this the real mcgiver or is this mcgrubert's.

Speaker 7 (37:25):
Hey, hey, hey, that's my nickname. It rhymes with my
first name. But anyway, love Adam Winwright great advice for coaches.
When I was in high school football, in practice, quarterback
through an interception and had his helmet on, thank god.
But the coach got so mad he head butted him
and broke his own nose. So don't be that guy.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah, have fun.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
I do wonder at what level do you start emphasizing winning?

Speaker 1 (37:50):
And that's a conversation we've had before, and I think
it's up for debate. I remember, winning is fun, It's
part of the fun. Listen.

Speaker 2 (37:55):
That's what I said to the next losing That's what
I said to the parents. I go, listen, Winning's not everything.
There so little, but I promise you this, if they win,
they'll be really fired up.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Remember Billy Bob and Friday Night Lights. His big speech
was about excelling. He put the emphasis on that rather
than winning.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
Yeah, winning, Maybe I just play some Charlie Sheen clips
with the kids winning winning.

Speaker 1 (38:19):
Yeah, why don't you tell Hi about the Tigers? But yeah,
there we go. I want to bring up Roman Anthony
young Studs.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Your favorite new rookie. I'm a big fan of this
Royals kid that everyone's talking. It's funny our Jack Caglian, funny,
our video guy spot loves how. For some reason in
baseball it's appropriate to call young player studs young stud.
I don't know why it is kid Jack cagli young stud. Yeah,
young Studd, young Studd. Well, but there was a lot

(38:47):
of coverage on his kid from Boston for sure.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
Roman Anthony. There was a couple of funny stories.

Speaker 2 (38:52):
Number One, people have to point out when he was born,
the Red Sox lineup was all the pace, Jason Veratta,
Kevin Hoppy Man like he was born.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
It was that era.

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, so you're like, wait, he was born in a
time that I feel like was yesterday that I hate.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Are you born yesterday? It seems like it.

Speaker 2 (39:16):
In his first game, he makes an error, he lets
the he plays a grumble to the outfield on his
to the cyber the The whole team was pumped about
him being there. They give him a standing ovation and
his debut. But while everyone is talking about this kid,
you know who stole a little of his spotlight. Leah Anthony,

(39:36):
his hot sister, and I got to ask if you
if you have a good looking sibling.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Would you laugh about this, be mad about it, be
happy about it, like if you're a hot sister, take
some of the thunder. Do you care or not? We'll
