Speaker 1 (00:08):
Oh we're here.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Oh yeah, baseball, Baseball's here. Baseball's back, baby, gotta love it.
And of course we're bringing the madness. I hope you're
enjoying your college basketball. But yes, did we mention baseball's back?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Covino and Rich, Oh, should someone tell Aaron Judge Baseball's back?
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Stop that or schemes? You mean my guy alone?
Speaker 2 (00:31):
That's called WBC hangovers. Welcome to Over Promised one thirty three,
our bonus podcast. Normally we're on Fox Sports Radio Monday
through Friday, five to seven on the East two to
four on the West side.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Covino and Rich.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
FSR hit subscribe, catch our show and thanks for being here.
This is the stuff we've run out of time for.
Of course, then we bring this super fun time here.
I think we got to start the show. We got
a lot to get to today. We're gonna talk about
Coveno's priorities, family or the Yankees. Also some mismatches in sports,
mismatches in life. But can we talk about baseball being
(01:11):
back and the ABS system and some of the controversious cause.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I'm just saying there's a shrinkage problem. George Costanza, if
you know what I mean, I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
You don't know what I mean. I mean, I think
you know what I mean. Do women know about shrinkage?
What do you mean? Like laundry? No, like when a
man goes swimming afterwards, the shrinks. Oh, like a frightened turtle.
(01:42):
Like a frightened turtle.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
There's a lot of frightened turtles in a Major league
baseball but not in the Pantaloni.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
It's not in their baseball pants.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Well, the ABS system's in full effect, right, so shrinkage.
They had to get the full on measurements, the accurate
measurements of the baseball players. That's the only way the
system's in work as far as the strikes, so.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Because everyone has a slightly different strike zone based on
the ABS. And I don't think they measure everything. No, no, okay,
but there's a lot of players that it's so abundantly
clear and funny how they've been fudging their their height
for so long.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
Well, nobody really ever checked it. That's just the sports culture, right,
You just round up. It's like your license. They just
sort of round it up the around about no one's
check in and if you played high school sports or whatever,
they're always trying to beef it up, so it.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Just looks we learned this from wrestlers in the eighties.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Yeah, these guys would be like six two and ripped
and like two hundred and eighty pounds.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Like they're not two hundred and eighty pounds, now, get
out of it.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Some of the results were embarrassing or funny how you
look at it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
But well, I feel like you're one of those guys. Well,
I feel like if you're five ten are over. Yah.
There have been times you've tried to round up to
six foot.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
No, I've never done that because I know I'm going
to be called out on it. Right, So I'm five
ten and three fourths. That's exactly what I am. Five
ten and three fourths. I'll say five to eleven as
far as my license, But if you really want to know,
I'm gonna tell you because I don't want to get
called out on me.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Honest, when you're Pompador's rocking, you might be six foot dude.
When my hair is extra thick, right, Like, if even
you push that thing down.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
I still get five. I get like five eleven. Riightes.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
The hair gives me a little bit, gives me that
quarter of an inch, but for being Italian.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And Mexican, that's really tall. In my family Politia on
the Jersey Show, do they measure do they push down
his that's like a crown. No, yeah, he gets the
extra three inches there pit these six to three. But
it gets embarrassing for a lot of people. And one
of those people Alex Bregman.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
He went from six foot to five eleven to five ten.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Over the years. It's like, is he an eighty year old? Guys?
The old guy? Is he mister Hendrickson from uh up? Well,
there is.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Truth to that, right, Sometimes you just shrink over time.
That does happen eighty Well, it happened to your boy.
Speaking of wrestlers, whole Holkan really did shrink as time
went on because of all the back problems he had.
So it does happen in life. But this is a
matter of people just boosting up the numbers to look
good in the program and to look good to scouts
(04:13):
and things like that.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Yeah, I think there's these are the FIBs.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Like a girl with dare I say, perfect boobies and
she's like never really admits like they're fake. Like, guys,
we exaggerate too, But this is a big one. Gavin
Lux saying, you're a man that's six to two. That's
that's like a big fella. That's like a I could
be a quarterback, I could be a picture. But in
reality he's five eleven. That's a big one, dude. It's
(04:36):
a big one. And again we talked about beefing it
up for the scouts or whatever, like, think about that
if you're recruiting somebody, Oh he's a six foot he's
a picture, he's what six three oh man potential six
three six fo guys like that adds to the to
the interest there to me, potentially, I would imagine that's
(04:57):
why lies do matter. A lot of these guys lied
originally for that reason. For instance, in the NFL, if
you're not over six foot, who's looking at you as
a quarterback unless you're a Kyler Murray Typer or Drew
Brees like a generational.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Automatically thinking this guy can't see over the offensive line,
so and that's offensive. So yeah, this works to their advantage.
And they had a stand by this on their tippy
toes with this lie for all these years. So Gavin
Lux lost a few inches Austin Riley another embarrassing one.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Well, every year, just you know, pick an inch off
and some weight off. He was six three two forty
now he's six one twenty five. That's like two different men.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
The most embarrassing one in my opinion, Yeah, bo nailer,
because this one is just absurd.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
You Bo nailed it.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
You can't be five foot nine, which is like average height.
You know a lot of people would say that's short,
but I'm pretty sure that's the average. You can't be
five foot nine and claiming you're six foot tall.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You just can't.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
That's like, that's insanity, that's no way, and that's what
was going on here. That's so he went from six
foot to five nine is real and actual height.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, I have some analogies later, but I will let
me throw a couple more out there.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Connor Wong another six one.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
When you say you're six to one, that's a that's
a big fella five to ten.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
You can't say you're six to one when you're five
to ten.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yo.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Dude, that guy he's a big swing. He's shorter than
I am, and he's claiming six one. Can you manage
if I was walking around like yeah, I six one.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
People are like, dude, no you're not. Yeah, yeah, what.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
With hide increasing shoes on Andre the Giant, the late Great?
Do you really think he was five six hundred pounds?
That's a I mean no, but again it's resting, it's imagination. Yeah,
and you're relating right now. Showhy is the one guy
that it's just so perfect is he's so humble and
so amazing that, oh I downplayed my height.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
He was he's six four, but he was six three
actually grewing it. How's that impossible? So he actually went
from six three to.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Six He's so humble, And you know, this takes us
to a bunch of different things. Actually, you know, you
know that guy Clavicular that talks about looks maxing, he's
all over the place this week.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Ye he's part of the manosphere world.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
He's inside the manosphere and his whole premises like maximizing
your looks looks maxing.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
I hate those kids. He's doing something. Not only is he.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Bone smashing to get that sort of chiseled look in
his face, he's a big promoter of height maxing. So
he's got all these young kids doing all these things
to fake their height. Like standing on their toes, and
different shoes to wear, keep books on the floor so
you can stand on them, like like, wear longer pants
so that no one sees you on your toes.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Like.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
He has all these tricks and all these young dudes
are doing it. So look, it's not that crazy to
think of why and how this happens. You know, guys
have a complex with this sometimes, especially in the world
of sports. Would you believe that they did find this
out too?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Aaron Judge, he's not that big actually, five to nine, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:03):
Six seven, he's five nine. He played five to nine
in the opening game.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
But to wrap it.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
Up, Yeah, what's the weakest thing, especially for a dude
to lie about?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Because height is pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I think, uh, I think heights. One is the income.
I think income's I wrote down money. I think, uh, job.
In dating history, I think it's a weak.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Look.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
I'm not trying to sound all righteous, but when some
guy claims he hooked up with someone and he didn't,
I think that's like lame. Like your your your sex history,
your work history, your your height.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
What else? Oh I got one? What about your hair?
If you what if you're a guy that has no
hair and you're trying to pull it off, like, no,
this isn't a two pay. Oh yeah, that's pretty bad.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And today's where we just take a quick flight to
Turkey and get that fixed.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
The height thing, man, it's really misleading. And and women
really don't have a gauge they could see like a
guy who's five ten.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Let's keep it, let's flip it to the ladies for
a second.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, do you think it's lying if a girl gets
work done and doesn't tell a guy, I guess you
got a noose job or ask.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Because if you have babies with that woman and you know,
the baby comes out, Yeah, it comes out with a
schnozzole looking like Adrian Brodi.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
You're like, what going got to tell you? Yeah, what's
that about?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
But i'd have to say, height us up there? And
what could have been really embarrassing. Actually it turned out
somehow to be like a really funny story. Yeah right,
So somehow this has been you know, laughed off, and
it all is courtesy of the ABS system. The first
challenge was made Jose Caballero and you know it was
a it was a strike. So the umpires win. But
(09:44):
it's gonna be interesting to see it's going to add
I think like a like a minute minute to the game, right, fourteen.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
Seconds per call. I don't know if you saw earlier
today my Mets roughing up. Paul skeins, Yeah, last night
you ought to be in a good mood because I
saw that you You're sitting at your daughter's cheer competition
Yankees on the phone Netflix Opening Night.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
I actually, yeah, I was putting in an awkward situation
because I'm so pumped, like everybody is Opening Day and
an event. First Netflix broadcast Yankees giants let's go, and
they're hyping it up. I'm like, what are they gonna
do on Netflix? That's going to be so cool, you know,
just the anticipation of Opening Day anyway, special, right, So
Max Freed on the hill, I'm like, let's go, and
(10:26):
then my daughter's like my competition. I'm like, yeah, my
daughter's sixteen, pain in the ass, but she's my daughter.
I love her, and Rich is right, there's really no excuse.
I can go and I just bring the game with me.
So I watched most of it from the phone.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Now, I wanted to bring this up because I wonder
if people agree with you or not Okay, I said
to Cavino last night Opening Night, Max Freed on the Hill,
the guy that you picked to be the Say Young
Award winner.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, I mean he had nineteen wins last year and
you got you.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
You want to start fresh, you want you want your
team to get that w on Day. Wanted just a
good a good, a good uh jumpstart to the season,
to run it back Yankees. Man, you're really trying to
sell that, huh? The run it back Yankees?
Speaker 1 (11:07):
What it is?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
They believe in this team because they got a lot
of dudes coming back, and I think, you know, Garrett
Cole's just going to add that rotation, right, So they
just to push Free to more wins.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I asked Cavino, because behind the scenes he's like, Yeah,
my daughter's cheer squad came in second place, And I said,
would you have rather your daughter win but the Yankees lose?
Speaker 1 (11:27):
And you go, nah, that was my first instinct. I'm
not proud of it, but it's the truth. Rather the
Yankees win Opening Day, then your daughter win her cheering.
They got money on it.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
I picked Freed to be the cy Young I'm rooting
for them to have.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
A great start. Daughter's cheer squad. Yeah, but here's the deal.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
If you played sports, and most of you played some
sort of sports along the way, if you had a
good performance but your team lost, yeah, losing always sucks,
but you have that that's solid, that's selfish minds, you
have that that feeling inside, well, at least I played
well and you feel good about its team. Dud dude,
I thought my thinking comes from this. I thought they
(12:06):
all did great. I thought my daughter did great. It
just turns out the subjective judges thought they didn't.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
So they lost and she seemed okay.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
It is so based on all that, I'm like, yeah, no,
I'd rather the Yankees win because it didn't mean that
much to my daughter.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
They're not out of the tournament.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
So I'd rather have the Yankees win that game than
my daughter's cheer competition. I'm standing by. I know it
sounds terrible, but yeah, I have to double down. I'm
curious where everyone else's line is. So let's be the
most interactive show.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
If the kids were okay with it and they're eating
ice cream all having fun later on, and they actually
played or performed.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Well, then where's the harm there?
Speaker 3 (12:42):
So this is where, like I said, you hit us
up at Covin and Rich at Steve Cavino at Rich Davis.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
I know it sounds bad. Let's chop it up.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Where's the line between your kids' sports and your favorite
pro team? Like if you asked me Rich, the Mets,
they haven't won since I was a schoolboy. Have you said, Rich,
Mets when the World Series or your son's baseball team
wins the championship, I'd say, Mets World Series. But if
it's a random Saturday in March or April and you said, hey, Rich,
(13:10):
do you want your son Ben's team to win or
the Mets, I'd say my son's team.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
It's a regular season game.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
If you told me forty or super Bowl or my
daughter's softball championship, I'd say super Bowl, but a regular.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
Season game all based on one city.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
After math of seeing how it really didn't affect him
because they all did well, they all did great, and
they had a great performance. They lost, Rich asked me
would it have better if they won and the Yankees lost?
Speaker 1 (13:37):
And I said no, I.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Was pretty because I was very happy that the Yankees
won seven to nothing.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Baseball's back your thoughts. I know the obvious answer, all
you righte to city.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
It's your kids over my team any day.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
You have to keep in mind where I was coming from.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I mean, if you you you only have like one
cheered dad shirt, but you do have like forty Yankees
That's right.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
You know how many Yankee hats I have? Guys A lot,
I have a lot. I have Yankee hats here, I
have Yankee hats at home. What do we tell yesterday?
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Almost forty between your home collection and the ones you
keep it working.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, I got and that's just Yankees hats, not even
counting like regular hats. But I think the other question
is based on that is like, are you a total
douche nozzle if you are the dad who's watching the
game while you're at their game or you do have
to be glued in on their game or performance or
anything else.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
Our video guys Spot had a great idea.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah, they have those new sunglasses that are almost the
like projection like smart classes, Like you could be watching
the game like on a like in front of you,
like you're watching your kids.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Iron just struck out again.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
I mean, Kaviido jumps up in the middle of a
tense moment and I'll just beacause John Carla struck out.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
You know, whether you agree with me or not, that's fine.
I know you're probably not.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
The other question is there like, if you're at that game,
is it wrong of you to be watching the other game?
If you're at a dinner or something, is it wrong
to have that game.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Fight or whatever.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
We've had that conversation because you've been on a date
night with your girlfriend and it's like a random night
in April or May, like regular season, and you're at
a restaurant and you got your phone out and you're like, yeah,
what does it matter?
Speaker 1 (15:17):
I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (15:19):
What does it matter when you're at a bar and
the game's out in the corner or it's on the
corner of the table on your phone.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I got a better of you right there in the moment. Whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Everybody's so great, I know you're. Everybody's the greatest. Everybody
has the answers, everybody's the best I know. So that
brings us to something else. You said, fights.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Get this, I might be the only guy that cares.
But there's a championship fight this week. You've seen both
of these guys fight. We have not each other, but
We've seen them both fight in Vegas.
Speaker 2 (15:47):
We saw Tim Zue versus Fandora, and we saw Pochon
versus Thurman, and Thurman and Fandora fight this weeknd.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
We've seen him a lot.
Speaker 3 (15:57):
Is he still one time? I've seen him too many times?
Keith one time Thurman, Keith with my comeback. You'll quot
a comback Keith one time? Thurman is here? Keith one
time Thurman going for the strap one fifty four. That's
what thup?
Speaker 2 (16:09):
So you got Keith one time Thurman Speaking of height, Okay,
he's not lying.
Speaker 1 (16:14):
He's like five seven five eight. He's right in between.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
He's like five foot seven, five foot eight on a
good day, right Sebastian Fandor.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Look at the height difference is six foot five. He's
also sometimes labeled at six for six. He's right in
the middle six for five, six for six. That's a
what ten inch difference? This is a big difference, and
in the world of boxing, it affects reach, angles, fighting styles.
And this is for the super welterweight belt at one
(16:43):
fifty four.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
To me, this is a fight you want to watch
simply because I think it's gonna be interesting to see
like you said, angles reach, how they the approach of
a guy that's six' five fight a little guy and
then the little. GUY i think he's saying little guy
five to seven fighter versus six or five, guy.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
Like you might body. Blows can you could even Reach fandora's? Head,
well we're gonna. Fight does have to be like Little
mac when he gets.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
A staro he reached his other head because he's like really.
Short Keith, thurman for the, record is thirty seven and.
One you know this one lost Was may Pac Man
pocket twenty three. Knockouts he's thirty seven former, champion but
again not at one fifty four And fandora is the
current one fifty four. Champion he's twenty eight years, old
(17:31):
twenty three to one and, one.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
So they both they both have one l so this
is gonna be a big. One my, thought, though is
that that picture that our video Guy spot pulled up
with her side by, Side, Spot can you show that?
Again because WHEN i look at that, picture it reminds.
Me it reminds me of that classic photo of your,
Dude Aaron judge where he's standing next to Al.

Tuovay oh, yeah remember that?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
