At Covino and Rich, We're gonna be posting more clips
and of course check the podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
But let's go, let's get into this rich.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
We got last one standing today, we got prizes to
give away, games to play. We got to talk about
Mark Gastineau. Why you say, well, because he's all over
social media today, because there's a new thirty thirty about him,
thirty for thirty coming out. And we got to talk
about forgiving and forgetting. There might be someone in your
life that is holding something against you that you did

(01:35):
years ago and you might not even know it. Right. Plus,
should players be fine if they suck? Lots to get
to today if we have time. But first and first,
mostly got to talk about your boy with the weak
ass haircut. He didn't have a weak haircut last year,
huh yeah, but everything about him is a week now.
I don't know why talking about Juan Soto, Juan Soto,

(01:59):
the New York Met gotta talk about this guy because
we speculated for the past few days. Why in the
world would he choose the Mets, And I said, because
he's a bag chaser. It was all about the money.
It's not really money, but you knew we were gonna
hear more and more stories as to why he made
his decision right, A lot of speculation you brought up,
like maybe he just likes the Latin vibe of the

(02:21):
New York Mets. Maybe he likes playing with Lindor and
these other guys. Maybe he likes those dudes. Maybe there
was something more than met the eye. Today, the story
more reasons. We always talk about this. It's never just
picked this team, here's where you're gonna play. There's so
much involved, the coaches, the players, the training staff, how

(02:41):
the team treats you, the organization itself. Like there are
more layers. Now. Of course most chase the bag. That's
a layer of it. But that's not I just knew
that wasn't the whole story. Well today, according to the
New York Posts and other news organizations, according to us Covino,
rich on Fox Sports has to do with the city

(03:03):
fields sweet. Apparently, when he was negotiating with the Steinbrenners
with the Yankees, he said I could be he I
want sweet for my family, or I could be he
and the Steinbrener's like, no, we're not budget on that.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Cashman was like, no, we don't do that. He said, I.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Want to sweet for my family. Now, based on my research,
rich sweets are about could be about twenty five thousand
a game, twenty million in perks over the sixteen year
offer they gave him, which was seven hundred and sixty
million dollars for sixteen years.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
So they're not cheap. A sweet for his family is
not cheap.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
But let me know, when you say they're expensive, that's
you're using the marked up prices that they charge like
the average joe. Well, it doesn't cost them that much
money to operate a sweet. I mean, a sweet's just
a room with five chairs and some fay tables. When
you talk about what is the suite, they have designated
value though, what do you mean? They're not just chairs
in a room. They're chairs in a room. They have

(04:07):
a lot of value because people pay a lot of
money for them. Someone buys them. That's if all the
suites fill up. If every game it's the Yankees, it's
not the athletics. So he went to the Mets, and
the Mets didn't even blink about it, and apparently that
was part. I'm not gonna say the reason. The reason

(04:28):
is by Hoobastank. The reason to me is all about money. Still,
but this is part of the story as of today. Now,
I got to make this clear though. So people are like, well,
what about guys like Jeter, guys like Aaron Judge, you know,
former captains and current captains of the team. Even they
get a suite at discounted prices.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
So the Yankees, according.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
To the story, it's not like they weren't willing to
give him a suite, but they weren't going to give
it to him for nothing. They were going to give
it to him at a discounts the same way they
would dude to Aaron Judger, Derek Jeter, youre gonna tell
me this guy's above them, that's the Blacks, Then you
know what, good good riddance Green Day Style take him.
This guy's a diva and he's gonna be a nightmare
thorn in your side when he doesn't produce. Because when

(05:12):
you're paying someone this much and you're rolling out the
red carpet and you're stroking this guy like your Clarence Carter,
you expect him to produce.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
When he doesn't enjoy.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
That, you are such a bitter beaus.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Well, I'm telling you that's the story.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
Yankee fans can't accept this. They can't accept it. It's wild.
It's like the hot chick that has never been rejected
and she can't fath him. Oh my god, how can
he not want to take me to the prom? No?
Why does he not want to marry me?

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Part of the morning process today is like, good have him?

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Do you sound ridiculous with him when he's forty one
years old limping around like a fat Pablo Sandoval? Do
you realize how you sound? Insane? Okay, I'm telling you
you love the update of the story. How am I
gonna update the story? What I'm giving you? My opinion
them and wanted him yesterday and now he's a fat
Dominican guy that's gonna be limping around when he's forty. Yeah.
I don't want anybody that wants me. If someone doesn't

(06:06):
want me in life, do you still love them and
want them the same way you don't want me. I
don't want you back exactly. You hate me. I hate
you back. Let me tell you this from the beginning,
I said, one of the few advantages the Mets have
because the Yankees do have the legacy of the pinstripes
and all that. However, we have agreed that somehow that
doesn't mean as much to the younger players as it

(06:28):
used to the world smaller It's it's not It doesn't
have the lore it once had in the George Steinbrenner days.
And the Mets are known for what what is the
big thing? The Mets are known for sucking?

Speaker 3 (06:44):
What?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Sucking? What? I don't know? You tell me? Why are
you making a guessing game? Yeah, Bobby Vonia contracts, Bobby
Valentine's mustache, Oh oh mo Vaughn contracts. What the Mets
are recently known for is how family friendly they are.
That's what brought Verlander and Cherzer. That's what got to

(07:09):
gram to want to stay in the beginning. That's what's
louring these people. Steve Cohen is about making sure the players,
wives and kids and everyone moves comedy. He's about kissing ass.
That's all he's doing right here, because he wants to
prove that his bank account is deeper than the Yankees,
that there's a new big head honcho in town. And

(07:30):
that's fine. You can't accept it, That's what it's all about.
You can't accept the fact. No, And I will give
you this city field way more welcoming than the Yankee stadium.
There's no question about that. I will never debate that.
I love Cityfield as a place. I think they did
a great job with that. There's no question that it's
more of a family friendly ballpark. Does it hurt Yankee

(07:54):
fans feelings that knowing that it's not totally about the bag,
it is that they didn't offer this to any that
someone would prefer. I just don't want to play for
the Yankees. Is that just you're giving You're giving someone
seven hundred and sixty offering seven hundred and sixty million
to play baseball, and they're offering a discounted rate at

(08:16):
the Switees and he can't afford it. No, if he
wanted to play for the Yankees, he would have. It
was about the money. See I disagree. I think Yankee fans,
who have acquired more big name players with money than
any team in Major League Baseball history, Now all of
a sudden they're like, who choose the money? You guys
did that and still have been doing that for the
last sixty years. Well that's Reggie Jackson. Until now, the

(08:41):
Yankees have been buying stars. So now the guy doesn't
want to go to you, and all of a sudden.
Now the Mets are uh. We debated this yesterday prior
to Mike Tyson stop and buy. I'm giving you the
update today. The update today is, oh, now, it's about
the sweets, the family suites, and accommodating his family. I

(09:01):
also heard rumblings a side story, because again, you don't
know what to believe yet. This is a story from
New York Post. But I heard other rumblings about security
during security. Security during the postseason given his family a
hard time, and he didn't appreciate that.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
How would you like it if hold it against you?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
You can't hold that against the organization because some JIBEBRONI
was unclear on who his family was. That's just a
mistake that they would have to correct in the future.
Would you let that determine where you're going to play?
I don't know, but that's another side story. I think
you just upset that this is the Yankees' worst nightmare. No,

(09:41):
starting to accept it. Star a top three player in
the league is in their prime, is not in showing
me where his priorities are. And I know you could
spin it and say, oh, his priorities are his family. No,
this guy's a devil. With crazy demands. The Yankees already
offered him seven hundred sixty million dollars. That wasn't enough.
Beat it, Like, the more and more I'm starting to

(10:01):
hear about the real character of this man, you know,
the guy who was bff with Aaron Judge and then
totally slapped him in the face by choosing the Mets.
The more and more I'm seeing the character and stories developed,
the more I'm like, I don't want this guy on
my team anyway. Your question is character, now, Yeah, that's
a big part of building a team. In chemistry. He
seems like a very selfish player. Again, all about him players.

(10:26):
We're going to talk about selfish players when we talk
about Mark Gastino, and that's what I'm getting out of
Wan Soto. Baseball is a team sport, so we'll see
how much he brings that that uh that team together
when he gets all this specialty treatment and the other
teammates don't.

Speaker 4 (10:43):
So.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
I saw Rich Eisen sharing the same sentiment. I love
watching his clips on social media. If the Yankees had
acquired Sodo, would what would the conversation Danny g That
makes sense. He made the World Series with them. They
treated him well he's running back was one trade rental,
and they assumed he would have stayed because it's the Yankees.

(11:04):
Rich Eisen probably hates the Yankees. So I don't care
what he says about the Yankees. I'm telling you what
I'm what I think. Well, I'm telling you that he
shares the same sentiment as me and a lot of people,
which is, if Wan Soto had stayed with the Yankees,
the narrative that you and all Yankees fans would have
had was, well, there, you know, it's the right move
staying with the pinstripes Yankee. He chose he go somewhere else.
He's a trader. You just questioned his character. How do

(11:27):
I know this bag chasing? He's this? Yet? What about
every other guy that's on the big contract with the Yankees?

Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:33):
In the nature you mein like Aaron Judge who said, yeah,
thanks for the money, I'll pay for my suite at
a dis kind of price.

Speaker 2 (11:39):
He's better than Aaron Judge.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
No, he's not. Plus, would he be fat and old
at the end of his contract if he were on
the Yankees?

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Yeah, because I went and wanted him for sixteen years.
I mean that's what they were weren't they all, Yeah,
that's what they.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Were offering him. It was It's crazy. It just became
a bidding war. It's not even about how good he is.
He's great, He's not that good, dude, Let's be real
about that. He's a young guy. Now, how's he gonna develop?
We don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:03):
I know he's entering his prime, but is he gonna
stay healthy?

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Who cares? Who you mean? Who cares your tea? Right? Otani?
Otani's seven hundred million dollar contract, in my mind, has
already paid off because they want a world series. That's
what you got, Otani. They won a world series. That's invaluable. Well,

(12:25):
let's not lose focus at the story. The story today
is family. The spin is gonna be it's a it's
a pr spin. To be honest, there's there's the truth,
and then there's the spin. The spin is gonna be.
Soto's a guy that always puts family first, and he
wanted to make sure his family got a free suite
at City Field. Now, he wanted more money from the Mets. Period.

(12:47):
That's it. He wants you to kiss his feet. You
don't know any of this, yes, yours. He wanted to
be a star on the Mets as opposed to just
another star in the Yankees. And I'm not saying that's wrong.
I'm just saying that's the truth. He wants to be
his own man, That's fine. He didn't want to play
in Judge's shadow. You know why judges shadow. His Judge
is bigger and better, That's why. And I'm happy with that,

(13:07):
and I'm starting to accept it, to be honest. But
the update today is they wanted to give him a
free suite at City Field and not at Yankee Stadium.
To quote and budget, to quote a Christmas story one
of your favorites, cry baby Cry. You sound like such
a baby. You really do. And it's not just you.
So I'll point the finger in the face of all

(13:29):
Yankees fans that, hey, listen, you win some, you lose them.
When the Mets lost to Grom and he went to
the Texas Rangers, I was bummed out. When your team
loses a guy, Yeah, it's frustrating. It's like, oh man,
look you went somewhere else. Why you just can't accept it?
What is it about accepting? Why am I supposed to
be happy for your Mets? You boso? What reaction do
you want I'm telling you the update about the sweet

(13:52):
am I supposed to be like. And when you think
about it, I understand he should get accommodations greater than
Derek Jeter and Aaron joj that's you think that would
be appropriate feedback on what planet? I expect you not
to love this, but I expect you not be a
jaded buffoon. Okay, And by the way, you quoted Scott Farcas.

(14:13):
Do you guys know that Scott Farcas's little sidekick in
a Christmas story was none other than a young Brian
Johnson from ac DC with that little goop oflinas.

Speaker 2 (14:22):
That's not true.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
It is true. I saw it in a meme, so
it has to be true. Yes, that's true. Dand singer
of a c DC and Buyer gave a smile. Dan,
you've you've heard this, You've heard this rumor you've seen
the memes? Yes? Yes, Dan, I mean right baby again.
For some reason, Dan Byer with his Seahawks I shirt
on today, it sounds rich. What do you want my
reaction to be?

Speaker 4 (14:44):
You know what? You know?

Speaker 1 (14:46):
I get it, man, he chose the team that uh
that he believes in most the myts get out of here.
What do you want me to say? I want you
to just not be so foolish, boop, I want you
to not be so full of it and being like
so he's chasing he has no character.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
He's chasing money. Maybe exactly what it is.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
I've seen it with Robbie Cano, and I wish the
same thing for want so to moving forward, never win.
Chasing the bag never wins. Trust me on that, And
that's exactly what happened. Never gonna work, never, because it's
all about him and all these guys that are excited
about playing with him, they're gonna be real excited when

(15:26):
he's taking private jets. He has his own luxury suites,
he's doing his own thing. The Mets do everything together.
He seems to me to be above the Mets. You
that's what made the team magical last year. They did
everything together. You're you're not talking about the same guy
that you were sweating for the last six months, right,
It seems like a different guy. I mean, I didn't
have a full calendar year with him. The more I

(15:47):
get to know him, the more he's exposing himself as
a diva who expects the red.

Speaker 2 (15:51):
Carpet rolled out for him. We'll see what happened.

Speaker 1 (15:53):
How often in your life are you giving the opportunity
to call the shots? Maybe once in your life, Hey twice?

Speaker 2 (15:59):
You know why this show was great? Team player?

Speaker 1 (16:01):
Man? You know why I have the shows think they
think they're above the room. It's just how it goes.
What's up, dB? If you wanted that's my fault. Sorry,
Mary Mac, that's my bad. If you wanted me to
be the voice of reason. I think Cavino's got a
lot of yeah and good points on his side, but
the problem is history's not on your side. Nobody looks

(16:22):
at the Yankees is the oh what was them? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Yeah, like I get it, the chemistry stuff, the whole
Like I understand the number seven sixty five whatever. Yeah,
it doesn't look good, but it's just really difficult to
hear it come from a Yankees fan.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
You know what it is? The Yankee fans will get
no sympathy. The same way. Imagine you're walking through Vegas, right,
you get done eating dinner and you pass like the
hot club and you see a hot girl outside getting
all mad that she wasn't allowed in, and you're like, oh, yeah,
like wait, oh, you have to wait in line like
every one of you.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
I'll give you a bet.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
I should be vip. I don't waited lines, sorry, sweetheart,
that is you. Wan Soto had the perfect woman, the
perfect woman right, and she was tickling every part of
his crevices and doing everything right. Right. Wan Soto was
in a perfect relationship with a perfect woman. But she
was a little older. Wan Soto found the same exact

(17:23):
woman a few years younger, and that's what he chose.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
It's a character flaw.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
He already had. He had a beautiful thing going on community.
She's just a younger, just a little younger. And what's
that say about that guy? What's that say about that guy?
He threw away his family in a perfect situation for
you know, another good woman, just a little younger.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
What about it's a character he's a character flaw. I
know we have to break.

Speaker 1 (17:48):
But what about instead of a character flaw, what about
the sentiment that want Soto says, I want to leave
my mark? I want He won a world series for
the National suit. If you want to leave your mark,
put your name besides the greats not be Benny a Bayani.
How dare you, first of all make fun of the
first ever Samoan American superstar, Benny Agbayani. No, but you

(18:09):
could become that's got to be racist. Look look at
look at the eighties, right, you're the first one to
make fun of it. The Mets, we still sweat Keith
Hernandez's mustache, and Ron Darling and Darryl were not a
Mets hater. But yes, when you start throwing your money
around the way you guys are, you become a target
and people start to hate you. I actually like the Mets,

(18:31):
but now there they want to be that team. They
want to be that team. Made a hateable decision. He
made a Hollywood Hogan decision. I'm giving you the reaction.
That's that's that's necessary. You like the Mets when they
weren't a threat to you. Now, speaking of family, Rich,
before we get into Last One Standing, giving away prizes

(18:53):
here on the show special Tuesday edition of Last One
Standing because Iron Mike was on the show yesterday for real.
Catch the podcast if you missed it, catch our clips
at Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio. Mark Gastineau and
I say, speaking of family, because remember we had the
Gastono girls on our show, years ago. How two thousands reality,
Yeah it was. It was a big show in the

(19:14):
early two thousands. His hot ex wife and his beautiful daughter,
the Gastono girl. There was a time where Cavino was
going to be a Gastono boy. Oh yeah. The thing
is I was torn between the daughter and the mom.
Just kidding, that's a joke. Not Ago gaston O girls.
Let's see here. Yeah, good one, bro. But they were
both hot. I remember they look the daughters with the mom.

(19:36):
So the mom loos. The mom looks like the late
Susan Summers a little bit. Yeah, they were both on
our show years ago.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
I remember.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
They were both good looking, and they were famous for
being Mark Asteneau's daughter and wife. Yeah. Mark Gastineau a
famous New York jet So growing up on the East Coast,
you remember any kid with a mullet and a feathered
pompadoo had a Mark Gastineau haircut, negative side burns, good look.
Instead of a player back in the day, he was

(20:02):
very much an eighty stud Mark Gastineaux. Now he's the
star star of the New York Sack Exchange, a new
thirty for thirty that premieres December thirteenth on ESPN our
old stomping Grounds. Now, the premise of the story is

(20:25):
that Mark Gasteneaux is sad and depressed and disappointed because
he just can't let go of the fact that he's
no longer the all time season sack leader and as
a result, he's not in the Hall of Fame. And
he's like, I've seen so many of my contemporaries and

(20:46):
teammates end up in the Hall of Fame, and I
was better than all of them. I was the all
time sack leader until that no talent ask clown Brett
farv took a dive for Michael Straham. Now he was
the all time season sack leader. I said season sack leader,
so which was twenty two sacks, I believe. Now, if

(21:08):
you guys remember the highlight, you remember the clip, you
could visualize the clip. Michael Strahan's going for the record
and Brett Favre sort of just falls back and straight
hand falls on top of him and then sort of
goes to his knees, taking in the moment sort of

(21:28):
crying that he's the new single season sack leader. Mark
Gastinos at that game, and you know when you're at
the game. You really don't know what happened. Everything happens fast,
and I think that's his side of the story, like, hey,
I didn't know. I was just being a gracious guy
and I gave Straighthan a hug and I went on
with my day. But years later, looking back, they stole

(21:51):
that record from me because Brett Farv gave it up
to Strayhan and he's now on this quest. According to
the documentary of I want my record back. I want
that sack back. That's not fair and affected my life,
and it poses the question like, hey man, do you
just move on because like even when who runs this
place said nobody even remembers that, And then I'm like, yeah,

(22:14):
but isn't that the point. Yeah, no one remembers that
Casteau had the record, and he wants to be remembered
by the way, I've rewatched while you were just setting
the story up. Yeah, I've rewatched the straight hand Brett
farv sack multiple times. And it's not a illegitimate sack.
It that sounds funny, it really is straight hand catches him,

(22:37):
catches him around the corner and instead of getting you know, blasted,
farm just sort of falls down a little this is
Please watch this in time. I've seen it a million
I know, but it's not like that's the record breaking
straight hand sack.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
I misremembered and I thought, wow, did Farv really take
a fall? But look when you when you watch it
here again, yeah I got Mark taking it in straight
straight hand, lining up, lining up. Fake. Oh he rolls
the wrong way and he would have ran right into Strand.
If anything, I think Brett Farth took away from the
moment because Straighthand would have got him anyway. Either way.

(23:12):
Gastineau has sour grapes about the whole situation. Sounds like
a baby. And here's the thing, is that were one
theme today babies. Well, here's the thing because his former teammates,
there's two cool parts to this story. Because again there's
a new docuseriies coming out about it at thirty for thirty.
What's Joe Klicko gotta say. People are saying, Look, he's
not not in the Hall of Fame because he doesn't

(23:36):
have the single season sack record anymore.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Is because he was a selfish player.

Speaker 1 (23:41):
Former teammates, colleagues, they're all saying a lot of people
Marty Lyons is on record saying, I tell everybody he's
the greatest athlete I ever played with. But he was selfish.
There's other players that say all he cared about was
meaning he wasn't going out of his way to tackle

(24:04):
a running back and put himself in jeopardy to pop
somebody running the ball. He was so focused on his
stats and sacks and just getting the quarterback. That's all
he cared about. That's why he's not in the Hall
of Fame. This dude's legacy has now taken a hit
as a result of all this. So he's speaking out
in this new docu series and then Rich he's at

(24:26):
some sort of convention, some sort of NFL thing, and
the viral footage today is he has a face to
face with Brett farr and you know what, you know
what was on the menu for lunch, by the way,
at this convention. Awkward burgers. Awkward burgers because when you hear,
when you hear this weird interaction between Gastano and Brett Farv,

(24:50):
you're gonna feel you know, that awkward, cringey, douchey feeling. Well,
you're like, that's how you're gonna feel. And we'll played
for you after dB update. What's going on there?

Speaker 5 (25:02):
You know, Rich is maybe pulling me over to the
Davis side of things in that Soto conversation. But then
when you said that this sack is legitimate, I'm right
back over to Coveno. Sorry, sliding right over. I think
I don't know if it was Bubba Franks or whoever
it was, was the tight end, I mean just I
mean it was no black light.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, let's move the velvet rope.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Just slide on in and let's let's do this.

Speaker 5 (25:29):
That's just by the way, and looking at that game
because you were seeing like the close up of it,
Packers were up thirty four to twenty five with two
forty five left to go in that game.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
So really, it's like, what would be the.

Speaker 5 (25:42):
Reason even for passing if if you're in a two
score game, oh and you're trying to bleed the clock down,
why would you be in a passing situation?

Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're right, no one is usually dropping back to pass
when you're up by a silly a little more than
a score.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
And let's do sure a ballgame.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Gas wasn't a mikable guy, and everybody loved Michael Strahan
that's all part of it too.

Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yeah, just uh yeah, dundun dumb.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
By the way, a lot of people say Mariah Carey's
Christmas song is the best. I'm here to say, no,
it's not as this one. Alvin and the Chipmunks for Life.
You Chipmunk Punk my first album and my favorite after
all those holiday cookies. You're a little Theodorish lately, and
you're always Simon, always in forever. Oh you think you're Alvin,
I am al Theodore Covino and Rich It's holiday season,

(26:34):
Mary on the Ones and Tuesdayanny G Spotty dB. Let's
go to dB for the breaking news. Guys.

Speaker 5 (26:40):
We talked about it a little bit ago. Max Freed,
the left handed free agent, is decided to sign an
eight year, two hundred and eighteen million dollar contract with
the New York Yankees. According to ESPN, it's the largest
guarantee in baseball history for a left handed pitcher. Max
Freed eight years, two hundred and eighteen million dollar deal.

(27:01):
Jeff passing with that he is going to the Bronx?
Is Max Freed?

Speaker 6 (27:06):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (27:06):
What a trader? What a man of zero character? Just
chasing the bag, chasing the bag, chasing the leg about
all the all the bro handshakes he had with his
fellow Braves players. I'm just saying what you said about Wilson,
the legacy bro. But he was eleven and ten in
twenty twenty four, three point twenty five yards. He's a stud.

(27:27):
He he had an off year statistically. But Max Freed
is one of the top ten pitchers in baseball. But
I mean chasing the bag going to the Yankees. What
a man. This just in breaking news from Steve Cavino.
Juan Soto also chose the Mets because Steve Cohen promised
him personal tootsie rubs after every game, personal foot rubs

(27:47):
from the owner himself. I'll rob Soto's feet if he
took that. There, come on, thank you, Dan Bayer. And
you know what a big pickup for you guys. I'm
happy thirty years old. By the way, I am so
happy to have Max Freed out of the National League.
Could have went to a team with more integrity, but hey,
he's a Yankee now, Max Freed. Can't wait. Welcome to

(28:09):
the Bronx, Max Freed. You know, Garrett Cale, Max Freed.
And yeah, then if it is uh heads on straight, Odroldon,
you have a pretty good one two three in the playoffs.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
You need good pitching, your best pitchers on the athletics.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Now, nah, savvy, wasn't the bets bets fit? I would say,
could I single? Will be back? Manaiah it does you
know they got they got a few, but the Mets
have some pitching. Hey on what to do on a positive?
When did we ever interrupt NFL talk during the season
for baseball updates, Baseball's big right, golden at bat Wan

(28:49):
Soto drama, Max Freed to the Yankees baseball making some
noise in the off seats. I'll tell you what. The
fact that you and I are fighting about baseball, right,
it's a good thing. It's a good thing is it's
good for baseball and we can agree on that. So
Mark Gastino is in the news today again, former New
York Jet legend, defensive legend. He was the all time

(29:12):
season sack leader with twenty two until Brett Favre took
a fall for Strahan's stay right. So if you want
to hear this cringy audio when you're thinking it's gonna
be two veterans, two you know, Pro Bowl type of
guys chopping it up about football, and he goes confrontational.
Oh my shock pack, take a listen.

Speaker 7 (29:33):
If you missed this, you met a long time ago.
At least I saw you right. How you doing when
you fell down for him? I'm going to get my
sack back. I want to get my sack back.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Dude, you probably would hurt me.

Speaker 7 (29:48):
Well, I don't care. Oh hurt me, you hurt me.
You hear me, Yeah, I hear you really hurt me.
You hurt me, Brett.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
We got to get back to this Bread. I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (30:01):
I'm not trying to justify Mark Astino here.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
I'm not.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
By the way you say how quick that Wrangler tried to.

Speaker 1 (30:06):
Get Bread out of there? He sounds like a stalker. Yeah,
But I'm trying to say, or what we have to
make clear is Wrangler jeans. This single season sack record
that he had clearly meant he had twenty two sacks
straight hand, ended up with twenty two and a half,
clearly meant a lot to the guy. H And look
when you think you when you're Brett Favre and you're

(30:26):
Michael Strahan, like you've won super Bowls, you have all
these other accolades. This is all the dude had probably
dealt with a lot of loss. He's like, and I
lost my record on that week ass play. It's a
weird clip. And it's weird to confront somebody in that
way because I was saying rich again, just putting it

(30:47):
in perspective.

Speaker 2 (30:49):
Football is all the guy knew. That was his whole queer,
that was his legacy.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
We've all been hurt by somebody indirectly, someone that stole
our job, stole our girl, old friend. Can you imagine
confronting that guy and he's like, you know, you hurt me.
That's what makes it weird, right, Like you hurt me.
He's like, what he took my job? I did? And
I just like, no, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (31:12):
It's this a weird interaction, a weird thing that most
normal people wouldn't go out of their way to do, because.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
You move on the thing is what you're lying. He's
a weirdo. What does he want Brett Farv to say? Like,
you're I'm sorry, ma'am.

Speaker 8 (31:24):
How do you think how fast things happen on the
football field? Do you think if Farv was really trying
to give him that sack, like how about he was
just couldn't even react in time, and he looked like
he just kind of fell down, like do you think
he was really trying to gift him that sack? Well, sure,
look that way if you want to hear it. But
you said he would got in him anyway.

Speaker 9 (31:40):
Well again, but it didn't even look like Farv attempted
to move out of the way or spin some spin
out of the way.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
So fast that you turn around day Dawn wants to
jump in.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
But it's all coming to light today because these clips
are going viral. It's from the New thirty to thirty
that they used on the thirteenth. It's called the New
York Sack Exchange, and Mark gas to know was the
single season leader until Brett Farv too could.

Speaker 5 (32:03):
Die for Strayhan again, It's thirty four to twenty five
Green Bay with a ball near midfield, under three minutes
to go, and you're gonna run a pass. Play by
the way, I think it was Bubba Franks blocking, And
for all of us football fans, no, Bubba Franks was
a tight end.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
What play?

Speaker 5 (32:24):
If you're a green Bay going into the week, do
you say we gotta get Bubba Franks solo blocking Michael
Strahan like that does not happen, but that is you
would think, like we got to get Bubba Franks and
three other people over there to block Michael Strahan.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
Keep him off Farv's back.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
But lo and behold with three minutes left in the game,
in the final game of the regular season, that's what
the Green Bay Packers run.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
And and and I'm just giving you the flip side
I could see where guests to know comes across odd.
He is gracious in the moment, he's there to congratulated.
It's just after realizing, you know, once he saw the play,
and years later of dealing with this and losing that

(33:08):
record and not being in the Hall of Fame, it
starts to sink in, like, man, they took that from me.
You can't see it. You get older. He starts speculating
like he did handle it at the time, if Brett
Favre did take a fall and Buba Franks was a
tight end blocking on a as Dan Bayer said an
irrelevant past play in the fourth quarter of a game,

(33:30):
I don't think the intention was We're gonna get the
best of Mark Gastino.

Speaker 10 (33:34):
Right.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
You're running back knocking straight him. Okay, so you don't
have any sour grape, dude. Since then, we worked with
people that busted your chops. You don't have any sour
grapes since they made your experience just.

Speaker 9 (33:45):
A little little awkward. Let me turn on the tables
on you for a second. Rich say you set an
all time Fox Sports Radio or just radio in general
record for doing two and sixty nine shows in a row.
And then and some guy beat you by one show.
But he he didn't even show up for that show.
He phoned in for half a segment on his cell phone. Yeah,

(34:08):
they counted it, and they counted it as the record.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
That's why I'm saying you were retired, Richard.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
You couldn't go back. You couldn't do anything about it.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
I would be mad, dude, I really would be. Just
to play step boy since then. TJ. Watt also shares
the lead now with twenty two and a half with Strahan,
tying Gastono with twenty two secs. Jared Allen justin Houston.
I mean, it's it's not this record that Gastono would
still even have two days.

Speaker 2 (34:36):
Of course, not. Our record's meant to be what meant
to be broken. So forgive and forget and move on
with your life.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, you can say all that, but you can also say, hey,
football is all this guy really had and all he
really knew, what he was known for what he did.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Does anybody do who plays football?

Speaker 1 (34:50):
They have football? But again, so my point is this
easy for us to say, like, get over it. That's
this dude's life and legacy. Now hear more from Mark
gass to know again. You'll see it again on What's
Today the tenth, you'll see it in three days on
ESPN thirty for thirty. But here's what else he had
to say about the whole thing. Any Betty will tell.

Speaker 11 (35:10):
You Brett Parr took a die and you know what
she knows, he knows and everybody knows it. I didn't
know what had happened. The NFL should have stopped that
and said listen, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
That's not a sack.

Speaker 11 (35:27):
He took my record away from me.

Speaker 1 (35:31):
And his legacy and his And again, like I said,
Mike didn't even mean anything when he said it. He
goes nobody even remembers that. But that's sort of the point.
People would have remembered Mark Astin. Maybe he would have
been in the NFL Hall of Fame. If he had
that record up until TJ Wytt you said, just tied
it well him earlier you said he was a selfish player. Yeah,

(35:55):
that sounds like the comic of a selfish player. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Yeah, I really cares about a record, Roger. That's the
Packers fan iowa.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Sam. I actually do agree with you, Sam, I really do.
But I'm giving you the flip side to the story
just to make it more of a balanced and fair conversation,
because I do see his side as well.

Speaker 8 (36:15):
I get it he really held on to that. But
if he had, let's say, reacted poorly in the moment
when the record was set, and then later on was like,
you know what, I overreacted that.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
But it's the reverse.

Speaker 1 (36:25):
It was.

Speaker 8 (36:25):
He was gracious in the moment, and then he's festered
on this for twenty years.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
What's he supposed to do?

Speaker 1 (36:31):
You know, they're in the steroid era in baseball. There
were those that felt very sad for a guy like
Roger Marris, who really wasn't the elite guy like a
Mickey Mantle was, but he had that record sixty one
home runs, and there are people that remember for a while, though,
I go that's the record. I acknowledge none of those
bonds and Maguire and so so and and and you

(36:52):
gotta say there was probably part of the Maris legacy
that was like, how do you.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Know the real record family.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
To cheer it on? I guess Sam said, records of
me to be broken. I get it sometimes, yeah, but
you don't want it to be handed over. Sure.

Speaker 5 (37:09):
The other thing with Maris too was his chase of
Ruth sixty wasn't an easy one, Like he really stressed
out about those part of the because the that record
was Babe Ruth's and so you know, in a way
it was a bit of a gift and a curse
for it. But I think it was by a large
part embraced by it. What does I mean, Michael Strahan

(37:31):
is now on every TV screen you can possibly find.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
Yeah, yoh, but hold on, you're laughing right. You don't
think that's what he thinks is it is what he thinks.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
I don't think he thinks that. I think that he says,
Michael Strahan is everything else. This was the one thing
that I wanted. This is the one thing that I thought, Yeah,
I like that, like that and that the NFL wanted
Michael Strahan because Michael Strahan was going to be destined
for all these bigger and better things that they they wanted,
like it was better for them, Like maybe it was
better for Major League Baseball for Hank Aaron to have

(38:04):
the home run record than Barry Bonds, like the NFL
is saying for us, it's better that Michael Strahan has
the record for Mark Gastono, And that's what Gastono feels.

Speaker 8 (38:11):
So at the time we knew that Michael Strahand in
two thousand and one was destined to become a media personality.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
I think he was.

Speaker 8 (38:17):
He was well like dabbling, Yeah, okay, it was always
talking about.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
It Live with Kelly and Mark can swell us. No,
he's an old guy. Now I feel bad for man.
I do I sympathize because he's an old guy who's
so hung up on this. That's sad. So this wasn't
for all hold on whether he Good Morning America, Straighthan
put a gas it on the Today Show, whether he's
right or wrong, it's still sad to see it is.

Speaker 8 (38:45):
But by the time, by the time that he confronted
Farv what was that twenty seventeen, twenty twenty what was it.
The record didn't have been broken in Eclipse several times over,
so it's like he'd already been buried in the record book.

Speaker 5 (38:58):
But the other, the other portion of it is because
sacks weren't tallied, that Deacon Jones probably would have broken
all of these records and looking back on it as well,
So it is a So it's not like we looked
at the whole entire NFL, where we do that in baseball,
like we have the we have the entire stat sheet
from baseball back to the eighteen hundreds. The NFL only
started to count sacks after a certain year, So there

(39:19):
are edge rushers and past rushers who never would have
been able to break that record because that's weren't counted
at that time.

Speaker 1 (39:26):
By the way, you got to see Brett Farre's reaction
in that clip, Man, that must have been so weird
from his perspective to go up to Mark As to
know like hey, and.

Speaker 2 (39:36):
Then be shot down like that in the moment. That's
so hard.

Speaker 1 (39:39):
It's awkward. But we've said this before. I don't know
if everyone's been there at least once where you bump
into someone from your past and they're mad about something
and you had no clue. Yea, they were. There's something
about it that's very relatable and I can't really pinpoint
how it applies to me in my life, but I
feel like I've been the recipient. I've been something we
realized that it's not healthy. I've been in a few
moments where I've had weird encounters where someone thought I

(40:04):
may have got with like a girl they were. There
was an old coworker of Kavino and I that has
a story about how they were a waiter at a
restaurant and they were convinced that like I big time
them and stiffed them on something. And it clearly would
never have happened because I know how I operate, like

(40:25):
I would never have, you know, Like it was like
fifteen years later, benefit of the doubt. It was one
of those dude, why do you give me why you
bust my you know, white buzzed my hyvos all the time. Well,
you know when I worked at Hula Hands and and
he told me this whole story, and I'm like, I
don't know why you want me to do so I jokingly,
but the guy like a gift card for dinner I'm like,
are we cool now? Like people hold weird things, dude,

(40:48):
they really do.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
And far to hula hands, I mean, just to the
flip side of it. Though.

Speaker 9 (40:57):
People hold grudges for perfectly good reasons. Yeah, it doesn't
just have to be a phony reason to have a grudge.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
That's true.

Speaker 12 (41:04):
Man.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
So Hey, Fox Sports Radio Nation, I'm now intrigued Vetti,
Betty and ftigue to see this thirty for thirty. Your
thoughts on the Brett Favre taking the dive for straighthand
Mark Gastineau living with that, with that storyline and the
sadness for all those years. He wants his sack back.
Your thoughts eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 5 (41:24):
One more question just on that portion of it. Is
something you said there, Cavino. This is what worries me
about this documentary now, which I would have loved to
have watched. It's like when you see a movie trailer
and all the funny parts are the trailer, So you
watch the movie and it's a complete downer like this,
Like what tops this in that documentary like this would

(41:45):
have I wish this would have been almost withheld and
then it airs and we're talking about it on Friday,
you know, afterwards, because it's relevant to today, because it's
like it's something that the sack exchange happened back then.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
This is something that's still like present relevant.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Dan saying, instead of putting this as part of the trailer,
they should have just let this air episode during the documentary.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
It's definitely a deeper, heavier part of the document This
here is Friday, right.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
I think we're gonna come back on Monday and we're
all gonna be like, yo, man Gaston as a wacked doodle,
or like I feel bad for this dude. I don't know.
It's gonna be one of those It's kind of like
remember that brat Pack documentary that came out with Andrew McCartney.
McCarthy and he's like I hated being labeled the brat Pack,
and everyone's like, hey, dude, you sound like a big
cry baby. That was the sentiment after watching the whole thing.

(42:31):
I think that's what we're gonna be talking about on Monday.
But we'll see. You know, my dad loves to talk
about all the time when when I was growing up
on Long Island, my next door neighbor, looking back, she
was an attractive woman that worked for the Jets in
her twenties. Oh so a lot of times sports cars
would zip down my block, pull up in front of
the house, and my dad would get all like, oh,
who's reading down the block? Who's pumped in front of

(42:54):
my house? You know how your parents are all these
weird when someone parks in front of your house. Yeah,
And I remember one time Mark Gastono and Joe Kleco
get out of the car and my dad the whole
joke of my dad's like, oh, you want to pall
go to the front lawn. Like these guys were. They were,
They were huge in New York in the eighties. I
just didn't know he held this resentment and will learn more

(43:15):
about it clearly in the documentary. Let's go to Brooklyn
and talk to Bruno. What's up, dude, Jonaldan?

Speaker 13 (43:22):
Good after it?

Speaker 3 (43:22):
A good evening. I think you're on the West Coast. Obviously.
Here's the deal.

Speaker 13 (43:26):
You know, we can say what we want about Gastino
as a person. I think he's got that kind of
unappealing persona. But you know what, in terms of that
record at the time, I mean, you guys, look back,
how good these guys were I mean they were phenomenal.
I mean, he was Laurence Taylor on the green side.

Speaker 3 (43:45):
But here's a bigger part. He might he might have
been left out of the Hall of Fame because of it,
and you know what, that's huge. And not only that,
but there's a monetary attachment to that if you're if
you're a Hall of Famer, there could have been more
money in a for him afterlife, but hanging on and
something like that. To your point, it's been broken several
times since. But at the time that was a big

(44:05):
deal and he was and he was a big deal
in the sense that he was one of the most
extreme players I've ever seen. And I'm a Jets stand
but when you watch games and see how good he
really was, he should be in the hall. Number one,
number two, he is nuts. Number three. He's the kind
of guy that could be grading on your nerves. But
so is Kurt Schilling and or keeping him out of
the hall. And I'm not a Red Sox man.

Speaker 1 (44:27):
No, No, that's great perspective, great call man, Thank you, Bruno.
I appreciate that. That's really the nail on the head
though Rich like people ask him, why aren't you in
the Hall of Fame. And he tries to figure out why.
He's not going to say because I'm a nut job.
He's like, because they took my record away. That's a
lot to live with. Did you ever watch caston O girls, Yes,
you brought up a few times. What was the point?

(44:49):
It was like former NFL star and his like hot
wife and good looking daughter.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
He was with him anymore? Oh so again I think
he dealt with Yeah, really followed the daughters? Yeah, follow
the daughter.

Speaker 1 (45:00):
Wait, he didn't even get a piece of that reality pie. No,
I don't think so. And he didn't get the Zach record.

Speaker 8 (45:08):
Okay, if you still have the second or third most
sacks in the season, you still have like a record
of sorts, why would that keep you out of the
Hall of Fame?

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Even if it's not true. And that's his reasoning as
to why he's not in the Hall of Fame. That's
tough to live with. Again, this is this is his life,
that's his career. Let's go to Trucky in Connecticut. You're
on the Cavino and Rich show. This Mark Gastino stuff
that's gone viral today. It's kind of interesting. Oh Ted
and truck Ted trucky, California.

Speaker 12 (45:37):
What's Heyboddy. I've heard some words like whack a doodle
and nut job and sad and crazy, and you know
that may you know, may or may not be true, right,
but there's you know, put it in perspective, a little
bit more to unpack here. You know, all pain is equal, right,
whether you're whether you're rich and powerful or poor and
homeless whatever. I mean. You could be the most powerful

(45:57):
person in the world and you know a bum because
you got orange skin and daddy issues and interior or
any complex, right, but suffering is suffering, so no matter reason,
no matter why. With all that said, you think about
all the resources and money that's put into this documentary
and now it's sports talk. Meanwhile, there's like, you know,
genocide plural in the world. There's subway murderers allowed, and

(46:21):
so much more that matters instead of this zero value
topic polluting my white noise distraction of sports talk radio
while I, you know, while I weave to the male
gossip and commercial barking while I wait for actual sports news.

Speaker 1 (46:37):
You seem like a fun guy to hang with.

Speaker 2 (46:39):
Yeah, you know, I was on your side until the
end of that conversation. What that quickly took a turn? Yeah,
it took like a hard left.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
Did he write that down?

Speaker 2 (46:47):
You think probably?

Speaker 1 (46:49):
I was talking aboutide next genocide and world war is
going on in the world, So what's better?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
When he was trucky in Connecticut, Yeah happened. I met
at the beach. The next color is in Connecticut.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Greg, in Connecticut, Greg, you're on what's somebody?

Speaker 3 (47:10):
Man?

Speaker 13 (47:10):
That's a tough call to follow.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Not really anything you say is going to be better than.

Speaker 3 (47:15):
That it man.

Speaker 4 (47:18):
Hey, so you guys have me thinking, like, as far
as the SAC record, I don't know where it ranks,
but I am like, I'm just if Demaggio's record were
broken with someone I don't know laying a bunch and
the third basement slowly going to it just so it's
not an error and that's how the record, I would

(47:39):
be livid.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
You know what. It's thank you, Greg, because there you
are filling in the blank. Because I was trying to
think of an equal scenario in another sport. And that's
a great example. If someone had the fifty six game
hitting streak and they were on they were stuck on
fifty six? Are think gonna beat Demaggio? The guy lays
a bunt down the third baseline and the third baseman
takes a real slow you know, like like a lazy

(48:03):
jog up to it, and uh Enfield hit Like yeah
when you when you watch it back, it was a
weak way to get the record. I'm playing the significance
of the sacrac along the way. What about all the
work done to get up to that point right right?
So again, yeah, you see a guy like man get
over it, But in reality I think of the reality
I admit and acknowledged. The first reaction to that is like,

(48:24):
get over it, dude, But you're telling us got to
get over something that meant the world to him. You

Let's go to Dan Byer for an update with dB.
What's up, guys.

Speaker 5 (54:58):
The big news major League Baseball all is that Max
Freed is signed an eight year deal with two hundred
and eighteen million dollars with the New York Yankees. It's
the most money ever given to a left handed pitcher.
Max Freed heading to the Bronx. The Toronto Blue Jays
acquired second baseman Andres Semenez inter trade with the Cleveland Guardians.
While the Nationals won the draft lottery, they'll hold the

(55:19):
first overall pick in the twenty twenty five Major League
Baseball Draft. Class of twenty twenty five. Top basketball prospect
aj Debonsta's committed to playing oops at BYU tonight. NBA
Cup Quarterfinals take place, Bucks taking on the Magic Thunder
entertaining Dallas. The Miami Heater listening to offers for Jimmy Butler,
while Kawhi Leonard returned to practice today as he has

(55:41):
yet to play in a game this season.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Talking Jokic, Talking Jokicic, he said after the Nuggets took
a whoopin he said, wake up call. In my country,
you get paid less after a stretch like this, and
the reality is you go to other places.

Speaker 2 (56:01):
You know what I say to that, don't be ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
I say, if he does, he dies, I say, listen,
there is something to be said. I know it rubbed
people the wrong way, but you'll get scored plus career
high fifty six and finished the game with just to
assist and essentially tried to do this by himself.

Speaker 2 (56:19):
That they lost to the worst team in the NBA
was one of the rubs there.

Speaker 1 (56:23):
I mean they were shorthanded with injuries. There was a
couple of days ago. But he did afterwards say, in
my country where I'm coming from, after this kind of stretch,
you're going to get a paycheck that's a little bit
less than your worth. So maybe that's the way we
need to do it. Maybe a little motivation that way. Yeah,
clearly everybody like wan So too motivated by money. And

(56:46):
you see a lot of these people let up in
the NFL. They say, career decisions, right, They let up
because they're getting their money or they're trying to get
their money. There's a lot of players, especially in the NBA.
We talked about it recently, Rich Why is the NBA broken?
Why are the ratings down twenty eight percent? Because a
lot of these guys got the bag and they're hot
dogging it.

Speaker 2 (57:06):
That e ward. Remember what was the word entitled?

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Oh yeah, entitled the entitlement of somebody's players.

Speaker 9 (57:13):
Could you imagine if you got paid per point rebound assist?

Speaker 2 (57:17):
Yeah, you'd be playing a lot harder, for sure. I'd
be diving on the floor.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yeah, when you talk about some of these incentives, I love.
I was talking to one of my buddies the other
day about how fantasy sports players hate the end of
regular seasons because you never know, you know, That's why
they do the playoffs earlier, because guys rest and the
final week. I love when they come at that list
of who's gonna hit incentives, and all of a sudden

(57:43):
you watch guys like, wait, this guy needs four catches
for sixty two yards. You damn well know that guy's
gonna be like, can't meant the ball. I love incentive
based contracts. I love when a pitcher's told you hit
two hundred innings, you're gonna double your base salary. We'd
see a lot more production just in life if that's
the way it worked now. I hate Kevino when people say, well,

(58:07):
if all the owners decided to pay everyone less. First
of all, it's collusion, right, But if they decided that
these guys, you know, wouldn't it be paid so much?
I think incentive based contracts would be better for everyone
except the players, right, But if the players delivered, those
incentives would be huge. What if this max free deal

(58:28):
with the Yankees? What if his salary swayed like a
five million dollar degree based on innings pitched whip e
ra that to me, that's wildly awesome. I'd say that
would be fair and it would make more sense. But
it's it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

Speaker 2 (58:51):
As they say, you get you that move and reverse.

Speaker 1 (58:53):
When you're pampering the hell out of these dudes and
you're giving one Soto seven hundred and sixty five million dollars,
what is the average for So you can't just all
of a sudden, like now, change how we're paying people.
That's where owners messed up. You gave them way too much.
And I understand that these players are making money for
your company. We get all that. I'm just saying there
should have been ways to incentivize a stronger performance. Now

(59:17):
you're getting athletes hot dogging it and lackluster performances, and
you get Jokics coming from an old school, different place
where Yo, guys, you're not playing as hard as you could.
We just got embarrassed by the worst team in the NBA. Hey,
I don't blame him for speaking out like that because
he's the only guy playing to win. He scored fifty
six points. Let me tell you, there's nothing more frustrating

(59:39):
in life when you're pulling all the way and no
one else is helping out. You know what he's doing.
You know who would love this more than anything? And
why'd you look at Danny mean spot when you said that.
I'm just saying that. I think everybody could relate to
that where it's like, hey, man, I'm the one working here.

Speaker 2 (59:54):
What do you guys doing? You're slacking?

Speaker 1 (59:55):
Yeah? Whatever that? Whatever that is, Yeah, kless project when
you're the kid that did all the work right exactly.
Let's say want Soto the average Let's just say it's
around fifty million a year. Again, you can't put the
toothpaste back in the tube. But what if it was like,
all right, one, mister Soto, you're gonna make forty million
dollars a year if you bet over to eighty five

(01:00:16):
at five mil, if you hit forty more home runs
at five mil, over one hundred rbi at five mil,
it could be worth more than fifty Hell yeah, but
you start at forty yo. Rodon Max freed all your pictures, Hey,
if your eer is three or under, I mean at
five Ways to sports. This is how you motivate people man,
not only in sports, but in real life. If we

(01:00:38):
have those sort of incentives, my goodness, you don't think
you'd see a better work effort here at the studio,
you know, at the restaurant, at the office, the factory.
You'd be seeing people really trying to push to get
ahead because now they're in control of their destiny and
their money. What about it? It's like like what a
mission based workers? You know, they're always pushing a little harder.
What about other people? What if you told linebackers, what

(01:00:59):
if you told Fred Warner? What if you told Max Crosby.
What if you told either Bosa, Hey, for every strip
of the ball, for every turnover, you cause three million
dollars two million dollars. Hey, every time you're a running
back that fumbles the ball and it's turned over to

(01:01:19):
the other team, if you don't retain possession, you lose
five hundred thousand dollars. What about Spirit Airlines recently getting
called out for ten dollars for every oversized bag? Exactly?
Tell Usten, We'll touch on this maybe more tomorrow. Until then,
have a great night. Arriva there at you baby, see
you in the promised Land. Go back too, night, guys,
