Speaker 1 (00:04):
All right, welcome do a brand new edition another one
it's over promised, our bonus podcast things we don't have
time for throughout the week. We've had a busy week.
We're in for Colin cow heard, you heard, And of
course our regular show airs from two to four on
the West five to seven on the East, Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
And again it's always fun doing this show for you.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Now today we're gonna talk about kids' sports and umpires.
Everybody had that whacka doodle lumpire in their little league.
I have a few videos. Is this guy doing too
much or not? And like I said, we'll talk traveling
sports and whatnot, and of course the most famous celebrity
fans for your favorite NFL teams.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
So let's get into it.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
I'm Cavino, that's rich in Texas, Dicky Tahos, everybody.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Dude, are you down with op over promised? I am,
let's do it. I did want to play out that
we missed a very important birthday yesterday, Fred Savage. Wonder Years,
your favorite show as a kid, and he turned forty eight.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Hold on, I did and do love Wonder Years, but
that's your boy. You didn't send them a balloon edible
arrangement something. I wish Fred a happy forty eighth. In
a weird way, I feel.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Like we grew up with Fred.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
We're around the same age, right, We were around the
same age when he was kissing Winnie Cooper, and I
wish him all the best. I think he's an underrated,
funny talent. Fred Savage, you're his biggest fan. You should
be embarrassed. I don't know anybody that represents Fred Savage
more savage than Rich Davis Savage AF you wear that

(01:41):
T shirt more than anyone I've ever met. Every photo
we have as a show, Rich's wear and that shirt
with every celebrity under the moon.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
Is that your goal? Like to wear that shirt with
every celebrity?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Let me tell you it's It's one of those shirts
that kept making it to the top of the T
shirt pile, and until you pointed it out, I didn't
realize how savage af I was so savage. Honestly, if
you go to comte on Rich dot com, go to
our Instagram, if you scroll enough, you'll see that like
twenty five.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Times one hundred and twenty five times, Rich is Savage AF.
I always thought Randy was your favorite Savage, not Randy,
It's not Ben, it's Fred. He's our number one. But
when I think of Fred, I do think of you
mentioned it wonder years? Wow, would you do the greatest
cover song of all time? If I sang attitude, I.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Think of Paul Pfeiffer.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
I think of Wayne Arnold, and I think of Kevin Arnold,
his character and Kevin. I think of the New York Jets.
He was the biggest fan. He had that jacket, he
rocked it proudly. And I feel like when it comes
to celebrities, Keys, they're number one celebrity fan. Kevin Arnold

(02:51):
Jets fan, not Fireman ed okay, not whatever celebrity comes
to mind.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
Kevin Arnold, Now.

Speaker 3 (03:00):
Was he just a Joe Namath front runner? Being that
the show was in the sixties, Like is he just
like is Kevin Arnold just like you were in the
nineties with the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'm not a front runner. I was from and born
in New Jersey, grew up loving the Yankees.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
It's possible.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I don't know the history of Kevin Arnold and why
he rooted for the Jets, but that was his team,
and I think of him, and this coincides with this
really bunk list that came out this week. We were
talking about it and our producer on Fox Sports, Danny
g was like.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
This, this list is bunk. This is a weird list.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
These are these celebrities, the most famous celebrities and the
teams they root for.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Now, some of them are dead on. Some of them
are like.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
No way, f six what no way. So we decided
to go over our favorites. Now, I look at that list,
the bunk one. I was wondering who rooted for the Chargers.
Apparently Mary Lopez.

Speaker 2 (03:58):
Look at that?

Speaker 3 (03:58):
Who know?

Speaker 2 (03:59):
You didn't know that.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, he's always there supporting. Yeah, he supports them, and
of course his Dodters. He's an LA dude. He's a
big supporter of that.

Speaker 3 (04:07):
Now, if you think Kansas City, listen the Chiefs. Of
course you could say Taylor Swift. Of course you could
say Eric stone Street from Modern Family, a big Kansas guy.
But Paul Rudd is using his super celebrity to get
down on the field. We've talked to him about hanging
with the player. So Paul Rudd is definitely in the
mix as a super fan. There is speculation because on

(04:27):
that list they say Taylor Swift. But again, she's dating
a player. Is she really a lifelong diehard fan?

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Or what about Henry Winkler. Oh, yes, I'm also a
big fan.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
But Paul Rudd's been there, and he represents Kansas City
all the way. In my opinion, I agree.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
I was just doing the research, the hard hitting investigation
Wonder Years took place in southern California. See. I can't
judge because I'm a New Yorker that's a Niners fan.
But Kevin Arnold jets jacket southern California.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Hey, maybe his dad, maybe Dan Lauria got it on
silent Woolworths or something.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Maybe, yeah, maybe that's how he got the jacket. I
don't know the backstory, but I know he's a big fan.
So Paul Rudd, the dude is there. He's there with
his kid. He's a big time celebrity, looks great for
his age, but also synonymous with the Chiefs. He's a diehard.
And our next one is Chris Pratt. When I think

(05:25):
at Chris Pratt, I do think of the Twelfth Man.
I think of Seattle. How about you, Rich, I think
super famous Seattle fan.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I can I tell you a true story. Sure, I
feel like I should get credit for something I don't
get credit for. You know how, you're the guy, Well,
what's the rock band that you gave the endorsement too?
And you're like, and then they blew up, who was
that again?

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Got smack? True story? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yeah, And if you're new to our show, I came
up in rock radio and I vouched for them. We
kept him on the playlist and then he blew up
throughout the rest of the country.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Well. I met Chris Pratt name drop when he was
married to Anna Faris.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
I mean we were all there, No.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
But I interviewed him a separate time because I was
doing multiple shows, and I remember pulling him aside because
I was a Niners fan and still am. He's a
Seahawks fan, and I said, Yo, have you used your
super celebrity powers yet to raise the flag at a
Seahawks game? Twelfth Man And he's like, I've never thought
of that. Fast forward a couple of years. I see

(06:27):
him on like Monday Night Football and I'm like, shit,
there he is my idea.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
And Rich wants to credit and there you have it,
made it happen, and I want my Godsmack credit, I
want my platinum record. But Chris Pratt big time fan
for sure. Now another guy we've had the pleasure of
meeting and interviewing a bunch of times. We actually met
him one time, in particular with Antonio Brown because he

(06:52):
was a die hard Steelers fan. Joe Manganello. By the way,
this is before Antonio Brown went Google's Nest.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
And it was also before Sophia Vagara and now after Sophia Bagara.
But yeah, Joe Manganello is a diehard Dungeons and Dragons dude,
a diehud sports fan.

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I saw him recently too.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
He got his DNA checked and he found out Manganello's
not even his real name, Joe mel Lele. Apparently he
thinks his last name is Jones.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Making this up. Well, you know what.

Speaker 1 (07:21):
Stick with Manganello, it's got to read it to it.
But definitely a Steelers guy through and through. I think
of him as the number one famous Steelers fan. And
of course there's others guys you want to add to
the list. Hit us up at Covino and Rich.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Who do you think Magic Mike wants to start? Russell
Wilson or Justin Fields.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
I'm thinking magic Mike wants I think he wants fields. Yeah,
I think he does. Yeah, I think he wants a
fresh start. Uh and what a backup huh? So our
next guy. This made that list at bunk List, and
it's undeniable because I feel it's been cool to see
the Lions and the NFL and Eminem all embraced. Like

(08:05):
it's been cool to see him be embraced by the
team and him embracing the NFL and all his appearances
at the drafts and everything else.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
I loved how he was trash talking fans when they
played the forty nine ers. Yeah. I love how Eminem
put his cool aside and did like a skit with
Roger Goodell. That's how you know he's invested in the
Lions when he's like, all right, I'll do a bit
with Goodell.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's the thing.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Eminem almost seems a little too cool to do things
like that, but it seems he has a great relationship
with obviously Detroit's from Detroit eight Mile, but with the fans,
with the team, and with the NFL. So when I
think Detroit, I think of Joel from the Dan Patrick Show.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I think and I think of Eminem. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
Well, I mean I said, I hope our very own
Dan Byer is an upset that we didn't think of
him when it came to Seattle.

Speaker 3 (08:59):
Well, obviously, like you said, really embraced the team last year.
They went on a great run. Eminem a big year
for him because not only was he seeing his Lions win,
The Death of Slim Shady comes out this Friday, So
if you're an Eminem fan, you know who he was
breaking all streaming records his new album two days away,
Buddy Boy.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
And I saw the cool artwork, so props to him
and someone who I believe was left off that bunk
ass list, and Danny G was real upset about it.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
Not only am I the number one Raiders fan, but
what about ice Cube?

Speaker 2 (09:32):
Yo?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Ice Cube and the Raiders synonymous, and not only that,
like anyone that wanted to be hard like NWA growing up,
we all rocked that Raiders starter jacket because ice Cube
and all those dudes were rocking it. That's why Raiders
ice Cube It's like Peanut Butter and Jelly Bro.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Wait a minute, I thought you were just a huge
lyle Alzado fan. Yeah, okay, I.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Just wanted to be hard. I just wanted people in
junior highnything.

Speaker 1 (09:59):
I was hard to my Raiders starter jacket, like ice
Cube and Rich the coolest fan of all, Yeah, the
coolest fan of all. And he's good. Yeah, it's so,
he's so good looking. His gross.

Speaker 2 (10:13):
Rob Blow. He's an NFL fan.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
He's just a fan of the NFL. The National Football
League embraces this is their super fan there.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
He is the brat, the brat pack. He's a big
fan of NFL. He keeps a generic Actually I think
he's a Colts fan. But in this case, and on
this day, this infamous day, is that Rob Polenka or
Ron Blow, And that's Rob Blow. He's an NFL fan. So,
like we said, who else comes to mind? Do you
hate that list? Do you hate our list? Do you
hate our picks?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Chime in?

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Who do you think of? When it comes to celebrity fans.
Maybe there's an underrated person, someone we're not thinking of.
Hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Hashtag over promised.

Speaker 3 (10:54):
No, Yeah, it's sort of a fantasy of mind that
our show becomes so big one day we're in there.
I would love for people to think forty nine ers
be like, oh, that idiot Rich Davis likes Niners. I
think of you and I think Yankees. I mean you
when you care so much about a team, it's almost
part of you where you still hope people think of you.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Right, What makes you say that this Franklin mint mint
and a statue of Aaron Judge or the bo.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Rivera I got behind me? Ah someday you know what?

Speaker 1 (11:24):
That is an interesting fantasy, Rich to be cool enough
where at least maybe you're not the most famous celebrity fan,
but you're part of their little montage of hype videos.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
Yeah, Yankee Stadium makes some noise.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
Don't know your fantasy somehow involved the Yankees.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I have a fantasy it's me, Jessica
Alba and Aaron Judge. Oh wait, no, I'm just kidding.
What what what that be?

Speaker 3 (11:47):
I think? I do think he's right though. I when
I go to Cityfield to watch the Mets back of
the day, there was a part of me. It's like, man,
Kevin James, that big goon he gets on the big screen.
He's like, yeah, it's Kevin James, looks go man, I'm like.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Cool, that's so cool.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
Absolutely, that would be awesome for anybody. Now again, I
mentioned earlier this week we filled in for Colin Cowherd
and we got into a discussion just sort of impromptu,
out of nowhere. I forget how it came up, but
it was about travel baseball and travel sports in general,
and how there's this sentiment amongst our friends and online

(12:23):
on social media that for as fun and as great
as it is, it's tearing families apart because there's so
much stress involved, so many expenses involved. You got this
parent going with this kid, you got mom going with
that kid, and there's no family time as a result.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
And did I mention it's expensive?

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, I remember how it came up because I'm visiting
family in Texas. You're head of the Jersey. The more
you talk to your old school pals whose kids are
you know, little or maybe becoming teenagers, there's this odd
pressure to go above and beyond. My buddy Nick's kid
is nine, and they're like, you know, you should get
a hell and conditioning coach. He's nice, he's serious.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
You gotta get him off the pez dispensers, you know,
give him some salads to eat.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
What do you do with a nine year old kid.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
But you're right, because you don't want your kid to
fall behind, right if you're not enrolling your kid in
these expensive camps and travel leagues, and they're falling behind
amongst their peers, and you don't want to do that.
So people are putting themselves in compromising positions, and money
is stressful and money is tight. And as our buddy
Acbar said Acbar from American Ninja Warrior, he was like, Yo,

(13:34):
this is too much and as much fun as it
could be. Why are they dipping into my Sundays too?

Speaker 3 (13:40):
You know?

Speaker 2 (13:41):
Bad enough?

Speaker 1 (13:42):
I'm giving up this day and that day and all
this money. Can we have Sundays off as parents, as
families for the greater good of family time, religious day,
whatever it may be. Can you stop with the Sundays too,
because then how does a parent who works all week,
how does he get or she get a chance to
even relax if you still got to do this stuff
on a Sunday.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
You know, last year one of my biggest gripes was
my daughter was playing t ball six another girls softball
and I coached. It was Sunday, early morning and we're
on the West coast, so I missed the first quarter
of every early football game, and I'm like, okay, kid, dad,
get a day to himself. It's a search Saturdays every day, a.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
Drag and still rewarding at the same time. But with
travel ball, you're going to as my dad would say,
Adam Mongolia in your story, rich, at least you were
local and within the town perimeters.

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Right.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Most people travel into places I never even heard of
to watch their kids compete, or to take them to camp,
or whatever the case may be.

Speaker 3 (14:43):
So I know, right, imagine like you do all that
traveling and you watch your kid on the bench.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
That being said, I saw a few videos that went
along with Little League and baseball, and you know, all
Star Week coming up. Baseball's in the air. We're half
way there almost. I saw a video that garnered a
lot of back and forth when it came to the commentary,
the comments, and the feedback, and I figured I'd bring

(15:12):
it up to you.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Now.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
I do want to preface by saying this, there's a
lot of trash on social media. So is this better
than the trash we see? Absolutely? Okay, I'll take this
any day over the trash that we're flooded with. But
is this umpire awesome, as some people are saying, Yo,
this is the best umpire ever, best literally gumpire ever

(15:34):
or is he doing too much? And we have a
few other videos, but take a look ski at this umpire.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Literally gum all.

Speaker 3 (15:42):
Right, I need a holes here?

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Holds it?

Speaker 3 (15:45):
That's not a hole. Oh you guys ready, Oh.

Speaker 4 (15:49):
You guys ready ready, gash by you time out?

Speaker 3 (16:14):
What's the count? Hold on?

Speaker 1 (16:15):
Hold on, get a water break?

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Can we get a water break? Please? I swimt ears.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. No, oh boh, I
don't think Pitture likes you. Man. I want you to
a tank and pimp it. Come on one.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Too, I don't know, man.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
So wow, that last shot bomb and the umpire starts
doing his dance moves because he's so involved. Now there's
some people saying we need more guys like this. We do,
and then there's actual little league umpires that are like,
you know, I've dedicated my whole life to working with
these kids. And it's not about you, dude, like you're

(16:59):
doing way too much. It's about the kids, you know.
There he just shouting out the moms, Hey, focus on
the game.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
Umpire. I'm just telling you again what the feedback is saying.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
And there's other people also chiming in saying, hey, dude,
you're the umpire and you have an important job, and
you have great impact, and we all remember our little
league umpires, the good ones and sometimes the bad ones. Hey,
Rich and I share a commonality that our first ever
paying job was a little league empire.

Speaker 2 (17:28):
I was thirteen years ago. We both did.

Speaker 3 (17:30):
I loved I loved the little part time. Fifteen or
twenty bucks behind the plate. It's a great first job.
I think this guy, he might be a little much.
But do you rather a guy enthusiastically encouraging the kids
and having fun or some shitty old ass like remember umpire.

Speaker 1 (17:46):
By the way, Rich, I believe it was fifteen dollars
behind the plate, ten dollars to umpire in the field
back in the late nineteen hundreds. You know, when you're teenagers.
Now other people are saying, for hey, he's the best
or what other people saying, Yo, Umpire, Leave it to
the coaches. You have a job, and that's their job,

(18:06):
you know, leave it to the coaches. And I do
see that you got coaches working real hard all week
with these kids, or a parent is paying all this
money we talked about to work with their kids, and
you have an umpire like dowing his two cents in
on how a kids should play.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
I feel like it's borderline doing too much, but I
can't be that mad that he's having a good time
and trying to create a good atmosphere for the kids.
Whether or not you think it's too much, I think
we could all agree his intentions are to provide a
great memory for these kids.

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Which is gumpires.

Speaker 3 (18:39):
I dude, I play men's softball and I know it's
not the same, but some umpires shopping their assholes. Other
guys chat it up with everyone like, dude, have fun now.
It did make me think of other ones. Where do
you think the umpire's gone too far? Or is it funny?
Look at how this guy calls out a runner at home.
Have you seen this? Dude?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Let me say, but I watch the.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Umpire play the plate gott her. Yes, I have seen this,
starts to a little shuffled and punches them out.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Look, look they're having fun. Baseball's fun. But it does
go back to the previous video. It's about the kids.
This isn't your showtime to go viral, you know what
I mean? Like, this isn't your moment. This is their moment.
Let them have their moment. People are there to enjoy
the kids and watch them play.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
All right, I need a hole. So what you're saying
is they're not the Savanna bananas. Have you seen the
Savannah bananas umpire?

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Let's see the very famous Savannah bananas umpire. By the way,
I ask Angel Hernandez, that's what he's doing nowadays.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
I think we all.

Speaker 2 (20:02):
Agree they're better than him, right see.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
Now, Rich, I may be crazy, but I feel like
he's doing.

Speaker 2 (20:07):
A little too much. Maybe just I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
And uh, since we're talking about it, my favorite all
time umpire is do you remember the whole Enrique Palonzo thing?

Speaker 2 (20:21):
Do you remember that?

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Look it's a Rico Palazzo of course.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
That I mean. I don't know. Do you guys think
too much or not? Hmm? Now I bring this out, Rich,

(20:46):
the great Enrico Polonzo.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
It's Enrico Plonzo right, as Francis from Pewe's Big Adventure
shouted out, he's clearly doing too much. Is it that
different than what the first guy was doing and you're
thinking he's great, So maybe there's something to be said there.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
About hold you guys ready, oh Leslie Nielsen.

Speaker 3 (21:11):
No, I gotta say, when I was a kid, I
think I thought Leslie Nielson was doing a split. I
don't think I realized it. What what do you mean?
I mean? I was probably eight years old when that
movie came out. I remember thinking, well, Leslie Nielson could
do a split. Next pe the dumbest kid ever picture

(21:32):
of being eight years old. Right, eight years old, you're
watching this like, well, Leslie Nielson could do the move
walk you you're an idiot. You know you've seen the
movie thirty times since then. What a dumbass.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
And by the way, they're remaking that with or rebooting
the character with Leslie Nielsen if you haven't heard, but
you can't say that he was doing too much and
the other guy isn't. I think there is something to
be said about everyone truly thinking or the star of
their own movie and they're gonna go viral, and everybody
trying to make it all about them all the time.

(22:06):
And of course there's that fine line of we want
to make things fun for the kids.

Speaker 2 (22:10):
You know what you make the call.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Everyone thinks they got that main character energy. Well, hey
listen if you want chime in, Like Kevino said, umpires
super fans all at Covin on rituals. See you guys
later on until them Arima.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
