March Madness is in full swing, and Covino & Rich agree that talking about your bracket is the WORST type of conversation, but we add a few more to the list. Rich picks up a few packs of 1990 Donruss Baseball cards, so we break them open and see if they have any rated value. And MLB season is officially underway, and that means new treats at stadiums, so we highlight our favorites!

Speaker 1 (00:06):
Isn't that time again? Thursday? Ready, Thursday, Episode eighty four,
Over promised Covino and Rich from Fox Sports Radio. We're
on two to four on the West, five to seven
on the East. Did I just catch you slapping the base? Yeah?
You gotta play it up here though, slapping the base,
slap it the base. Check me out. Bring that up
(00:27):
because on this day. Yeah, I Love you man came
out sixteen years ago. You love me man, Love you man.
Thanks Brod like you Seegel, Paul Rudd, Remember lu Forigno's
in that movie too, I do throwing it back on
a Thursday. We're gonna reminisce today. We're gonna take you
back to nineteen ninety and we're gonna we're gonna break
the break the wax, break the wax, break open the wax. Unpacking.
(00:50):
We're unpacking some baseball cards today, plus new foods at
the stadium. Baseball officially a week away, even though the
Dodgers and Comes already started again. I'm Cavino, that is Rich.
It's over promised, less good, and you know I love
to hammer home a fun fact. Yeah, how many times
this week have you heard me say you have a one?
(01:12):
In nine point two quad trillion gazillion quintillion quintillion chance
of having a perfect bracket in March madness, unless, of course,
you're Kurt Hennick, mister perfect. He's the only guy who
have ever done it. Yeah, we're ready to bring the madness?
Are you ready? So one in nine point two quintillion chants,
Everyone's filling out their brackets. And what does everyone say
(01:34):
after day one? Oh my busted bracket. I'm already out
of it. If your final four is still intact lack.
You know what I always say, dipsy dude, dun garoo baby?
Did you invent that I did? Yeah? Thought I came
up with that. I bring this up because as much
as we're sports fans, we work for Fox Sports Radio
for goodness sake. I think talking about your bracket is
(01:59):
easily on the top five list of shit no one
cares about. No one cares. Yeah, people care about their bracket.
They don't care about your bracket. That's the key here.
So yeah, it's like when Charlie Brown's teacher is talking listening,
but you don't care. And of course that's happening all
throughout the week, all throughout this month. Well, I had
(02:21):
a couple of twelve seeds upsetting five seeds, and oh dude,
my fourth seed. Who gives a shit? No one gives
a shit. Everybody now, no gives a shoot. No one
gives a shit. It's a top five. So I've thought
of other things that no one cares about, and I
want to run them by you guys. Okay, let's do it.
Echol Uh. Number one definitely is your bracket. No one
(02:44):
cares who's in your final four. No one cares who
you have in the sweet sixteen. No one cares that
you picked a fourteen seed to win and they did.
And you're a genius, even you're Lenny Pofo. Like I've
always said, and I really have always said this, if
I want to hear about brackets, I'll go to home depot.
I do not want to hear about a bracket, but
I get it. It's part of what we do. All
(03:04):
have one filled out. I love it. It's fun to
watch college hoops, but it really is one of the
lowest forms of like I don't give a shit conversation like, oh, well,
the Elite eight, I have Florida going and but then
I have Saint John's and Duke like, again, no, it's
a ship. I said, no, one gives a ship. Let
me tell you now, no but gives a ship. I say, no,
(03:25):
one gives a ship. By the way, you remember what
Tony Soprano said on a throw back Thursday. Yeah, what's
the lowest form of conversation? Remember when? Remember when? Is
the lowest form? I like some old school rider, I like,
I like nostalgia, but I think when you crutch and
only talk about remember when, Like if you have a
friend and every time you hang out with that friend,
(03:45):
all you talk about is the remember back in five
when we know talk about how I prefer remember when
it's like weather conversations and bracket conversations, well bracket number
one on the list other things. And again, these are
just reminded. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm
not trying to be harsh, but these awareness, these are
reminders because I recently also read an article about things
(04:07):
not to talk about on a date, And a lot
of times people talk about themselves too much. They don't
ask questions, and they talk about things that no one
really wants to hear about. How about their exes, Like
no one wants to hear about your ex No on
a first date. No one wants to hear about that.
Here's something else I wrote down. I'll stick to sports
for a second. It's not the season for football. But
when people come in and tell me about how their
(04:29):
fantasy team lost by this or that, I'm guilty of
talking about. Oh, I missed the parlay by one leg.
That's bad. But you know what's worse than that? When
someone tells you about their fantasy draft and you'll ever
guess who's so slipped around five and I picked them
up on the waiver wired. No one gives the shit.
No one gives a shit everybody. Now you know what
(04:50):
I've always said. My fantasy is involved women. I don't
know about you, not EU its doesn't involve Jamior Gibbs.
And if I wanted to hear about fantasy, I would
check out I Want Your Flex podcast with our very
own Dan Byer is a little promo. He's the best
your bracket, your fantasy team. Let me move off of
sports for a second. These are things that I think
we all need to remind ourselves that while we all
think we're important, and we all think people want to hear,
(05:12):
these are things that most people, they're kind and they yes,
you what's worse though? Fantasy teams and who you got
in the draft or your bracket? What is worse? They're
both really boding fantasy lestill here, Yeah, yeah, you're right.
March one month. Yeah, how about this one? When someone's
telling a story about a party night and they start
(05:32):
trying to count how many drinks they had. No one
cares about the list of cocktails you had on your
night out. So I had like five meers? Wait, I
think I had six, and then we did a shot.
And then when Sam Adams showed up, Oh the wait, wait,
holl the wait, jun yo bikey did we do four
shots of three? No one cares, So just say add
this to the list. These are reminders when you're telling stories, brackets,
(05:54):
fantasy teams, how much you drink. You're weird. It's such
a You're right, it's such a weird brag. You got
thirteen beers? All right? How about this? You had a
shot of Yeager bombs. Huh. You know, I'll I'll mock
our buddy spot for posting a Jim selfie. I'm not
really bothered by that, but you know what, I am
bothered by when someone I think you would be interested
(06:17):
in what they did that day, like, well, today was
leg day and I did this or that. When someone
in detail tries to give you their gym routine, unless
you ask them like, hey man, you're pretty ripped, what
do you do, it's usually like, yeah, I'm not really
caring about your CrossFit of your moon walk. Out of
those conversations, man, I don't care at all. You did
(06:39):
compound movements. Today was a deadlifts and you give him
a polite pat on it. I guess great man, Later
I'll give you what. Speaking of this spot, I'm trying
to I'm trying to be cond today because I love you.
You're my buddy, our video guy spot. But when spots
starts saying like well the macros, I'm like, oh I
love you man, love you man slapping the bay and
(06:59):
you start talking macros. Yeah it's boring. You're right, Well,
I made myself a grilled chicken inside the macros and
the taco bell and Wendy's then talking about your glutes.
I already checked out. Have you seen? Yeah? I don't
want it there, No thanks, Okay. So these are conversations
that no one wants to hear about, much like your bracket.
(07:21):
As the madness begins again, I'm just trying to remind
you to be kind. How about this, the local spot
in their hometown you'll never go to. Let's say you're
going to Saint Louis, right, you got to check out
hanks Burgers. Hanks Burgers. Hold, I'd be ready, And we
always play that game with Hank's burd You know what,
(07:43):
I'm gonna write it down on my phone, Hank's Bird.
You take out your phone, you go to notes that place.
This place definitely has God, yeah it does lookay, but
it was a real place. I told spot I go,
can you google image if there was a hanks Burgers?
Because this happens all the time and it's done out
of kindness. So again, just not trying to be rude,
but comino. Hey, we're going on a business trip to Seattle.
(08:05):
Oh you know, you guys got to check out and
then you have to break out your phone and be like,
oh yeah, to check it out. Yeah, you're right. People
are gonna do what they want to do anyway. Things
people don't really care about. I'm just trying to save
you the trouble. How about this one, and I'm guilty
of this and I try not to be. I'm really
trying to be good about it. Your tease bets, Oh
well that's the list. Yeah, I'm sick of hearing about
your teeth. What we can, come on, dude, we're partners,
(08:27):
are draftking, so I do give them for work something.
I like them for that reason. But when you continue
to talk about it, I was like, I heard about
it fifty times already, you know, bro, Yeah, I'm sorry.
I try. I try to do a good job of this.
Our buddy, our buddy Row. You call them the Peruvian prints,
our prouv and buddy Row. Yeah, has a rule. Do
you remember the rule about how many pictures of your
(08:48):
kids you could show someone? I do. It's the rule
a Row. It's after three you get a three picture limit. Yeah,
so if you're catchup with old friend, you can be like, oh,
here's a picture of my kids. Here's a picture of
the new car I guy, And here's a picture of
the you know, me and my wife on vacation. After
three pictures, no one cares. You got a three picture limit.
I do live by that rule. Thanks to Row. You'll
(09:09):
follow that one. Yeah, you want to want the picture
one more. No, No, you gotta have money, stand by
put him in your favorites. Here's the favorite picture of
my nose picking kid. Here's the favorite picture of my
last vacation. Here's my favorite picture of my brand new car.
Can I tell you here's a good tip for me
to you things. Keep them in a favorite folder on
(09:30):
your phone. Yeah, I guess that, parrot boy. No, because
you did just say I just said that here's what
you need to do.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I wonder where you get this great idea from
you did say favorites. I think he means a separate
I'm entired, No, because you know what happens. I have
people over my house and I'm not saying I live
in a fucking luxurious place, but it's very clear we
renovated our home.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, so so many people like, oh, you renovated the place.
And you know how many times I'm scrambling, let me
find with the house used to look like like you
would think i'd have one folder like have like one
before a photo when you're looking for it, even though
you see it all the time. Can I add one
more to your list? Even though I think the kids
we want to hear about your kids. Kids are great,
we all have kids. But you don't want to overshare
(10:12):
because people get bored. Rule of three. Rule of three.
It's the rule of three. What what's your bonus one? Oh?
What is my bonus one? Now? I just you know,
I'll get back to it. I forgot about it that, yeah,
because I hate to hear these conversations so much that
I tuned out already. God, there's something that you talk about. Oh,
I want to hear about Paradise because it's a really
(10:33):
good show. What I don't want to hear about is
the crappy shows you're watching. If they are crappy shows,
unless you're like warning me for a particular reason. Why
do I got to hear about the ship you're watching?
I know what you're trying to see. Equivalent of saying like,
smell this. It smells bad, right? This tastes like ass
try some like no, thanks, Like, I hate hearing about
the shitty stuff that you're watching. You're subjecting me to
your shitty TV schedule all the time. No, that's fair, Yeah,
(10:57):
all right now. I wanted to bring these to you
guys because I thought it would be fun for over
promise since not only is this a podcast people listen to,
I always encourage people watch the video part of it.
That's why we do this, because you get the video
layer and Spot does a great job with the videos
and Spot Kavino and I are constantly sending him pictures
for over promise. Now, last Friday, we call it Glorious Fridays,
(11:18):
where it's the one day of the week that before
Fox Sports Radio, Cavino and I have off in the morning.
We're not doing our bonus podcast or anything or our Patreon.
So my wife and I went out for breakfast. I
had a little bacon, egg and cheese, had a coffee
and across the street out here in California and Woodland
Hills is a place called the Village, a little shopping area. Beautiful, right,
you've been there and they had a used bookstore. And
(11:41):
my wife is, you know, loves to read. Last book
I read was Who Moved My Cheese. I'm not a
big reader, but my wife. Have you ever checked Where
the Wild Things Are? It's a great one. You know what,
when I was at this bookstore, I'm going to say
a name that you're going to totally. I'm going to
unlock a memory you haven't heard in thirty years. I
saw some little kid with parents and he's like, mom,
(12:02):
look Encyclopedia Brown. Oh yeah, what was the last time
you heard that? I had that bad boy? So we're
talking about the Caldercott metal or the box Car children.
What anyway, where'd this used bookstore? My wife's looking around
to Tara, where's the manga section? Manga you a bunch
of nerds. So my wife's look at all the books,
and I'm looking around like I don't know what to
(12:23):
look at. And they have a little antique section where
they're selling like old action figures, starting lineups. They had
some sports stuff, and in a big box they had
nineteen ninety ooh, Don Russ. All right, so let's take
it back, throw it back on a Thursday. This is
when you were rocking your pager nineteen ninety. I was
(12:44):
ten years old, Doc Martin era. You know, it's like
we were graduating from bandana, guns n' roses era into
the grunge era. So flannel rip jeans as sort of
look was beginning to emerge, beginning to happen. So eighteen
ninety we're right, you know, as the as they're saying
used to go, dude, we're in the nineties. Now it's
the nineties, ninetiesneties. So I saw in a pile these
(13:08):
remember these three packs, ye Don Russ and oh yeah,
this wouldn't be breaking some wax. This would be like
just uh well, ripping some seals, ripping the value pack.
So I saw unpacking five bucks in like a bargain bin.
And I know that nineteen nineties baseball cards were overproduced
and not worth much, but I said, for five bucks each,
(13:29):
let's I said, let me buy one for you and
one for Spot and we'll open they had a gem. Well,
we'll put them on the air. There are a couple
that are worth something, so the spot before we open them,
what are the top ones? I know there's a Wan Gonzalez.
There's a couple like remember those future star ones that
looked like uh they looked is a Don Russ Juan
Gonzalez rookie card. It was the Wan Gonzales rookie card
(13:54):
that was the big one. And he had the Diamond
Kings collect the Dimon Kings that look like the weird paintings.
So yeah, the rated rookies was always a thing. But
the Diamond Kings collection, Ken Griffy, the bo Jackson one
was bitch Jackson one, and those were like fifty to
one hundred bucks each. So it was a Nolan Ryan
five thousand strikeout one that had some value to it.
That's worth one twenty five. So there's a couple of
(14:14):
cards that are worth like a hondo. So I said,
you know what, for five bucks? What the hell? But
it's just fun to see some some names out there,
some old nineteen nineties names. Thow it back on the third.
You want to go first? What you got, let's zip
through them? What you got? Bark? I got an Aussie Smith?
He Smith? Okay? Yeah, Oh I got a Diamond King?

(15:42):

Now here's the question. Do we give it to our
very own Danny g g He loves baseball by this, Oh,
I got Eric Davis, one of the most underrated players
of that era, superstar talking to talk about a guy
that was ripped that didn't enough credit for being a

you have been listening to Covino Rich for years, this
is fun. You know the story of this guy Rick Sarone.

food or something. Wow, dude, takes you back. I love it, Barry,

selling those. Wow, all right, hey, throwing it back on
(19:19):
a Thursday. That is fun to do it. Takes you
back to when you were putting them in your plastics,
collecting them. Let me let me just describe to everyone.
We just felt a feeling that I haven't felt since
the nineties, where you opened the pack of cards you're like, oh,
who am I gonna get? It really is a good feeling.
So but if you got little kids, I highly recommend
getting some new tops cards. I know in twenty twenty
(19:41):
five they got all different types of awesome cards now
with signatures and uniform pieces and everything. But Damanian legend
Kelly bro there, he is so Yankees outfielder. I always
liked him, man, So it takes you back again when
you were rocking your Doc Martin's, your little beaded necklaces,
(20:02):
your zoomba pants right those they had your mushroom haircut. Yeah,
your zoomba pants. Again. Thank you guys for hanging out
with us. Covino and rich Over promised. And as we
open up these baseball cards and we think about unpacking
as kids, and the gum and the cards and the
collections gets us excited for baseball. And unless of course
(20:24):
you're a Dodgers or Cubs fan, Dodgers two to zero,
the rest of the season starts next week, so can
it comes? Get a mulligan? Like, can we start over?
I know I saw Cubbies. Yeah, but a week from today,
baseball officially, in my mind begins now. As a Yankees fan,
I'm like, man, injury is really gonna hurt them in
the beginning unless they make some moves. By the way,
(20:45):
Alex Radugo went to the Braves today, you were just
saying yesterday, no home. But it gets you thinking. Not
only we excited about baseball, but every year it's an
opportunity that the baseball stadium experience is different than when
we were kids. There's in game entertainment, The games go quicker,
the scoreboards and score birds birds, the scoreboards and the
big screens are interactive. They got more music, they got entertainment,
(21:09):
and they've stepped up the food game. So are there
any quick food items you want to give a little
shout too before we get out of here, Dude, I
got an any food items that make their debut because
I got one tail there. There's you know, all different ones.
But as a Yankees fan, when I make an East
Coast trip, I gotta go to a few games. This
year they have the Bronxtail vodka lemonade that look good,
and they have brand new street tacos and section eleven.
(21:31):
But the one that stood out to me, Rich, I
think you like this one too. In Section one twelve,
they're calling it the bird Dog. It's an EM's foot
long hot dog. Wait, hold on, go back to that.
What was that you skipped over the PROVI mean I
knew you would like that one. Yeah, that's a new
Postromia New York City Pastrami sam which you're you're not
going with that. I'm not going with that. I knew
you would like that one. Though it looks good too.
(21:51):
It does look good. So that's new at Yankee Stadium.
They just released a whole salom. There's the street tacos
I was talking about. But they have what they're calling
the bird Dog. It's hot dogs with chicken tenders. There
it is. It looks pretty good. I would rock that
Section one twelve, less hand, that's a big dog. Well,
you know, speaking of big hot dogs, it's up Slugger. Slugger.
(22:17):
He's a big weenies. That's Rich Davis. Everybody. There's a
new hot dog. It's actually a sausage being debut at
Dodger Stadium out here in La It's called the Slugger.
It's a sixteen inch sausage with jalapenos and cheddar. That
sounds good. That sounds like delicious, but it sounds like
you're gonna shit your pants too. But doesn't it sound
good though? Right? A sixteen inch jalapeno chi. You know,
(22:41):
shit in your pants at the ballpark, then you ain't living.
Let's look at that. That's yeah, and that does look
good and it's like a Mexican vibe jalopeno going on
for a minute. But it's really it's like next level.
Every year when they release all the new food items.
You just gone next level. God of the days of Hey,
the ballpark has soda, beer, hot dogs and some peanuts
(23:02):
and crack. It's like, buy me a bird dog and
what's that sushi rolls? It about one last thing before
we say uh later, just google image. I've seen this
at a lot of parks. Now they're doing cotton candy
with mascot masks on them, and also another thing as
far as desserts for kids, giants are doing this and
(23:25):
I wonder if it's gonna be a misstep. Because it's
a it's a bat. It's a plastic baseball bat filled
up with popcorn. And I just wonder. I've seen that,
and I just wonder if they're all gonna empty out
and then people in the stands are just gonna start
beating the hell out of who started that. The giants
are doing that media, so they're doing the popcorn bat
uh in San Francisco. Yeah, it is going to turn
(23:47):
into a weapon when it's empty. Sperg's doing it too,
So the popcorn bats a thing, and they're doing like
the Philly fanatic Pittsburgh. I know a lot of them
are doing cotton candy, but a mask comes around it.
So if it's like green cotton candy, it'll have the
fanatics mask the kids can put on. Well, stuff your face,
enjoy some baseball. The madness is here, March madness, baby,

(00:27):
because on this day. Yeah, I Love you man came
out sixteen years ago. You love me man, Love you man.
Thanks Brod like you Seegel, Paul Rudd, Remember lu Forigno's
in that movie too, I do throwing it back on
a Thursday. We're gonna reminisce today. We're gonna take you
back to nineteen ninety and we're gonna we're gonna break
the break the wax, break the wax, break open the wax. Unpacking.
(00:50):
We're unpacking some baseball cards today, plus new foods at
the stadium. Baseball officially a week away, even though the
Dodgers and Comes already started again. I'm Cavino, that is Rich.
It's over promised, less good, and you know I love
to hammer home a fun fact. Yeah, how many times
this week have you heard me say you have a one?
(01:12):
In nine point two quad trillion gazillion quintillion quintillion chance
of having a perfect bracket in March madness, unless, of course,
you're Kurt Hennick, mister perfect. He's the only guy who
have ever done it. Yeah, we're ready to bring the madness?
Are you ready? So one in nine point two quintillion chants,
Everyone's filling out their brackets. And what does everyone say
(01:34):
after day one? Oh my busted bracket. I'm already out
of it. If your final four is still intact lack.
You know what I always say, dipsy dude, dun garoo baby?
Did you invent that I did? Yeah? Thought I came
up with that. I bring this up because as much
as we're sports fans, we work for Fox Sports Radio
for goodness sake. I think talking about your bracket is
(01:59):
easily on the top five list of shit no one
cares about. No one cares. Yeah, people care about their bracket.
They don't care about your bracket. That's the key here.
So yeah, it's like when Charlie Brown's teacher is talking listening,
but you don't care. And of course that's happening all
throughout the week, all throughout this month. Well, I had
(02:21):
a couple of twelve seeds upsetting five seeds, and oh dude,
my fourth seed. Who gives a shit? No one gives
a shit. Everybody now, no gives a shoot. No one
gives a shit. It's a top five. So I've thought
of other things that no one cares about, and I
want to run them by you guys. Okay, let's do it.
Echol Uh. Number one definitely is your bracket. No one
(02:44):
cares who's in your final four. No one cares who
you have in the sweet sixteen. No one cares that
you picked a fourteen seed to win and they did.
And you're a genius, even you're Lenny Pofo. Like I've
always said, and I really have always said this, if
I want to hear about brackets, I'll go to home depot.
I do not want to hear about a bracket, but
I get it. It's part of what we do. All
(03:04):
have one filled out. I love it. It's fun to
watch college hoops, but it really is one of the
lowest forms of like I don't give a shit conversation like, oh, well,
the Elite eight, I have Florida going and but then
I have Saint John's and Duke like, again, no, it's
a ship. I said, no, one gives a ship. Let
me tell you now, no but gives a ship. I say, no,
(03:25):
one gives a ship. By the way, you remember what
Tony Soprano said on a throw back Thursday. Yeah, what's
the lowest form of conversation? Remember when? Remember when? Is
the lowest form? I like some old school rider, I like,
I like nostalgia, but I think when you crutch and
only talk about remember when, Like if you have a
friend and every time you hang out with that friend,
(03:45):
all you talk about is the remember back in five
when we know talk about how I prefer remember when
it's like weather conversations and bracket conversations, well bracket number
one on the list other things. And again, these are
just reminded. I'm not trying to be a dick. I'm
not trying to be harsh, but these awareness, these are
reminders because I recently also read an article about things
(04:07):
not to talk about on a date, And a lot
of times people talk about themselves too much. They don't
ask questions, and they talk about things that no one
really wants to hear about. How about their exes, Like
no one wants to hear about your ex No on
a first date. No one wants to hear about that.
Here's something else I wrote down. I'll stick to sports
for a second. It's not the season for football. But
when people come in and tell me about how their
(04:29):
fantasy team lost by this or that, I'm guilty of
talking about. Oh, I missed the parlay by one leg.
That's bad. But you know what's worse than that? When
someone tells you about their fantasy draft and you'll ever
guess who's so slipped around five and I picked them
up on the waiver wired. No one gives the shit.
No one gives a shit everybody. Now you know what
(04:50):
I've always said. My fantasy is involved women. I don't
know about you, not EU its doesn't involve Jamior Gibbs.
And if I wanted to hear about fantasy, I would
check out I Want Your Flex podcast with our very
own Dan Byer is a little promo. He's the best
your bracket, your fantasy team. Let me move off of
sports for a second. These are things that I think
we all need to remind ourselves that while we all
think we're important, and we all think people want to hear,
(05:12):
these are things that most people, they're kind and they yes,
you what's worse though? Fantasy teams and who you got
in the draft or your bracket? What is worse? They're
both really boding fantasy lestill here, Yeah, yeah, you're right.
March one month. Yeah, how about this one? When someone's
telling a story about a party night and they start
(05:32):
trying to count how many drinks they had. No one
cares about the list of cocktails you had on your
night out. So I had like five meers? Wait, I
think I had six, and then we did a shot.
And then when Sam Adams showed up, Oh the wait, wait,
holl the wait, jun yo bikey did we do four
shots of three? No one cares, So just say add
this to the list. These are reminders when you're telling stories, brackets,
(05:54):
fantasy teams, how much you drink. You're weird. It's such
a You're right, it's such a weird brag. You got
thirteen beers? All right? How about this? You had a
shot of Yeager bombs. Huh. You know, I'll I'll mock
our buddy spot for posting a Jim selfie. I'm not
really bothered by that, but you know what, I am
bothered by when someone I think you would be interested
(06:17):
in what they did that day, like, well, today was
leg day and I did this or that. When someone
in detail tries to give you their gym routine, unless
you ask them like, hey man, you're pretty ripped, what
do you do, it's usually like, yeah, I'm not really
caring about your CrossFit of your moon walk. Out of
those conversations, man, I don't care at all. You did
(06:39):
compound movements. Today was a deadlifts and you give him
a polite pat on it. I guess great man, Later
I'll give you what. Speaking of this spot, I'm trying
to I'm trying to be cond today because I love you.
You're my buddy, our video guy spot. But when spots
starts saying like well the macros, I'm like, oh I
love you man, love you man slapping the bay and
(06:59):
you start talking macros. Yeah it's boring. You're right, Well,
I made myself a grilled chicken inside the macros and
the taco bell and Wendy's then talking about your glutes.
I already checked out. Have you seen? Yeah? I don't
want it there, No thanks, Okay. So these are conversations
that no one wants to hear about, much like your bracket.
(07:21):
As the madness begins again, I'm just trying to remind
you to be kind. How about this, the local spot
in their hometown you'll never go to. Let's say you're
going to Saint Louis, right, you got to check out
hanks Burgers. Hanks Burgers. Hold, I'd be ready, And we
always play that game with Hank's burd You know what,
(07:43):
I'm gonna write it down on my phone, Hank's Bird.
You take out your phone, you go to notes that place.
This place definitely has God, yeah it does lookay, but
it was a real place. I told spot I go,
can you google image if there was a hanks Burgers?
Because this happens all the time and it's done out
of kindness. So again, just not trying to be rude,
but comino. Hey, we're going on a business trip to Seattle.
(08:05):
Oh you know, you guys got to check out and
then you have to break out your phone and be like,
oh yeah, to check it out. Yeah, you're right. People
are gonna do what they want to do anyway. Things
people don't really care about. I'm just trying to save
you the trouble. How about this one, and I'm guilty
of this and I try not to be. I'm really
trying to be good about it. Your tease bets, Oh
well that's the list. Yeah, I'm sick of hearing about
your teeth. What we can, come on, dude, we're partners,
(08:27):
are draftking, so I do give them for work something.
I like them for that reason. But when you continue
to talk about it, I was like, I heard about
it fifty times already, you know, bro, Yeah, I'm sorry.
I try. I try to do a good job of this.
Our buddy, our buddy Row. You call them the Peruvian prints,
our prouv and buddy Row. Yeah, has a rule. Do
you remember the rule about how many pictures of your
(08:48):
kids you could show someone? I do. It's the rule
a Row. It's after three you get a three picture limit. Yeah,
so if you're catchup with old friend, you can be like, oh,
here's a picture of my kids. Here's a picture of
the new car I guy, And here's a picture of
the you know, me and my wife on vacation. After
three pictures, no one cares. You got a three picture limit.
I do live by that rule. Thanks to Row. You'll
(09:09):
follow that one. Yeah, you want to want the picture
one more. No, No, you gotta have money, stand by
put him in your favorites. Here's the favorite picture of
my nose picking kid. Here's the favorite picture of my
last vacation. Here's my favorite picture of my brand new car.
Can I tell you here's a good tip for me
to you things. Keep them in a favorite folder on
(09:30):
your phone. Yeah, I guess that, parrot boy. No, because
you did just say I just said that here's what
you need to do.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
And I wonder where you get this great idea from
you did say favorites. I think he means a separate
I'm entired, No, because you know what happens. I have
people over my house and I'm not saying I live
in a fucking luxurious place, but it's very clear we
renovated our home.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yeah, so so many people like, oh, you renovated the place.
And you know how many times I'm scrambling, let me
find with the house used to look like like you
would think i'd have one folder like have like one
before a photo when you're looking for it, even though
you see it all the time. Can I add one
more to your list? Even though I think the kids
we want to hear about your kids. Kids are great,
we all have kids. But you don't want to overshare
(10:12):
because people get bored. Rule of three. Rule of three.
It's the rule of three. What what's your bonus one? Oh?
What is my bonus one? Now? I just you know,
I'll get back to it. I forgot about it that, yeah,
because I hate to hear these conversations so much that
I tuned out already. God, there's something that you talk about. Oh,
I want to hear about Paradise because it's a really
(10:33):
good show. What I don't want to hear about is
the crappy shows you're watching. If they are crappy shows,
unless you're like warning me for a particular reason. Why
do I got to hear about the ship you're watching?
I know what you're trying to see. Equivalent of saying like,
smell this. It smells bad, right? This tastes like ass
try some like no, thanks, Like, I hate hearing about
the shitty stuff that you're watching. You're subjecting me to
your shitty TV schedule all the time. No, that's fair, Yeah,
(10:57):
all right now. I wanted to bring these to you
guys because I thought it would be fun for over
promise since not only is this a podcast people listen to,
I always encourage people watch the video part of it.
That's why we do this, because you get the video
layer and Spot does a great job with the videos
and Spot Kavino and I are constantly sending him pictures
for over promise. Now, last Friday, we call it Glorious Fridays,
(11:18):
where it's the one day of the week that before
Fox Sports Radio, Cavino and I have off in the morning.
We're not doing our bonus podcast or anything or our Patreon.
So my wife and I went out for breakfast. I
had a little bacon, egg and cheese, had a coffee
and across the street out here in California and Woodland
Hills is a place called the Village, a little shopping area. Beautiful, right,
you've been there and they had a used bookstore. And
(11:41):
my wife is, you know, loves to read. Last book
I read was Who Moved My Cheese. I'm not a
big reader, but my wife. Have you ever checked Where
the Wild Things Are? It's a great one. You know what,
when I was at this bookstore, I'm going to say
a name that you're going to totally. I'm going to
unlock a memory you haven't heard in thirty years. I
saw some little kid with parents and he's like, mom,
(12:02):
look Encyclopedia Brown. Oh yeah, what was the last time
you heard that? I had that bad boy? So we're
talking about the Caldercott metal or the box Car children.
What anyway, where'd this used bookstore? My wife's looking around
to Tara, where's the manga section? Manga you a bunch
of nerds. So my wife's look at all the books,
and I'm looking around like I don't know what to
(12:23):
look at. And they have a little antique section where
they're selling like old action figures, starting lineups. They had
some sports stuff, and in a big box they had
nineteen ninety ooh, Don Russ. All right, so let's take
it back, throw it back on a Thursday. This is
when you were rocking your pager nineteen ninety. I was
(12:44):
ten years old, Doc Martin era. You know, it's like
we were graduating from bandana, guns n' roses era into
the grunge era. So flannel rip jeans as sort of
look was beginning to emerge, beginning to happen. So eighteen
ninety we're right, you know, as the as they're saying
used to go, dude, we're in the nineties. Now it's
the nineties, ninetiesneties. So I saw in a pile these
(13:08):
remember these three packs, ye Don Russ and oh yeah,
this wouldn't be breaking some wax. This would be like
just uh well, ripping some seals, ripping the value pack.
So I saw unpacking five bucks in like a bargain bin.
And I know that nineteen nineties baseball cards were overproduced
and not worth much, but I said, for five bucks each,
(13:29):
let's I said, let me buy one for you and
one for Spot and we'll open they had a gem. Well,
we'll put them on the air. There are a couple
that are worth something, so the spot before we open them,
what are the top ones? I know there's a Wan Gonzalez.
There's a couple like remember those future star ones that
looked like uh they looked is a Don Russ Juan
Gonzalez rookie card. It was the Wan Gonzales rookie card
(13:54):
that was the big one. And he had the Diamond
Kings collect the Dimon Kings that look like the weird paintings.
So yeah, the rated rookies was always a thing. But
the Diamond Kings collection, Ken Griffy, the bo Jackson one
was bitch Jackson one, and those were like fifty to
one hundred bucks each. So it was a Nolan Ryan
five thousand strikeout one that had some value to it.
That's worth one twenty five. So there's a couple of
(14:14):
cards that are worth like a hondo. So I said,
you know what, for five bucks? What the hell? But
it's just fun to see some some names out there,
some old nineteen nineties names. Thow it back on the third.
You want to go first? What you got, let's zip
through them? What you got? Bark? I got an Aussie Smith?
He Smith? Okay? Yeah, Oh I got a Diamond King?
Which one Jim Desha's Is that a miss friend? Dave

nineteen ninety that's not bad. Yeah, it's not bad at all. McGuire.
Any Maldonado, Beanino Santiago, oh, Benito, Yeah, throwing people out
from his knees. That was that was well. He had
that famous card where he's looking up at the sky. Yea.
That was that a tops that was also the start

I got one of the valuable ones, the bo Jackson.
No way, yeah, you got the boat. The Bo Jackson

got Jeff Russell, wa Pitcher, Tim Burkee. I mean, yeah,
you got the boat. I got the Jackson one. What
(15:42):

Now here's the question. Do we give it to our
very own Danny g g He loves baseball by this, Oh,
I got Eric Davis, one of the most underrated players
of that era, superstar talking to talk about a guy
that was ripped that didn't enough credit for being a
a big dude. Remember Dave Parker. Of course Parker. I

you have been listening to Covino Rich for years, this
is fun. You know the story of this guy Rick Sarone.
Oh yeah, where Covino met Rick Sarone and got a
(16:46):
weird autograph. They go, ri, oh yeah, probably open yours.

food or something. Wow, dude, takes you back. I love it, Barry,

selling those. Wow, all right, hey, throwing it back on
(19:19):
a Thursday. That is fun to do it. Takes you
back to when you were putting them in your plastics,
collecting them. Let me let me just describe to everyone.
We just felt a feeling that I haven't felt since
the nineties, where you opened the pack of cards you're like, oh,
who am I gonna get? It really is a good feeling.
So but if you got little kids, I highly recommend
getting some new tops cards. I know in twenty twenty
(19:41):
five they got all different types of awesome cards now
with signatures and uniform pieces and everything. But Damanian legend
Kelly bro there, he is so Yankees outfielder. I always
liked him, man, So it takes you back again when
you were rocking your Doc Martin's, your little beaded necklaces,
(20:02):
your zoomba pants right those they had your mushroom haircut. Yeah,
your zoomba pants. Again. Thank you guys for hanging out
with us. Covino and rich Over promised. And as we
open up these baseball cards and we think about unpacking
as kids, and the gum and the cards and the
collections gets us excited for baseball. And unless of course
(20:24):
you're a Dodgers or Cubs fan, Dodgers two to zero,
the rest of the season starts next week, so can
it comes? Get a mulligan? Like, can we start over?
I know I saw Cubbies. Yeah, but a week from today,
baseball officially, in my mind begins now. As a Yankees fan,
I'm like, man, injury is really gonna hurt them in
the beginning unless they make some moves. By the way,
(20:45):
Alex Radugo went to the Braves today, you were just
saying yesterday, no home. But it gets you thinking. Not
only we excited about baseball, but every year it's an
opportunity that the baseball stadium experience is different than when
we were kids. There's in game entertainment, The games go quicker,
the scoreboards and score birds birds, the scoreboards and the
big screens are interactive. They got more music, they got entertainment,
(21:09):
and they've stepped up the food game. So are there
any quick food items you want to give a little
shout too before we get out of here, Dude, I
got an any food items that make their debut because
I got one tail there. There's you know, all different ones.
But as a Yankees fan, when I make an East
Coast trip, I gotta go to a few games. This
year they have the Bronxtail vodka lemonade that look good,
and they have brand new street tacos and section eleven.
(21:31):
But the one that stood out to me, Rich, I
think you like this one too. In Section one twelve,
they're calling it the bird Dog. It's an EM's foot
long hot dog. Wait, hold on, go back to that.
What was that you skipped over the PROVI mean I
knew you would like that one. Yeah, that's a new
Postromia New York City Pastrami sam which you're you're not
going with that. I'm not going with that. I knew
you would like that one. Though it looks good too.
(21:51):
It does look good. So that's new at Yankee Stadium.
They just released a whole salom. There's the street tacos
I was talking about. But they have what they're calling
the bird Dog. It's hot dogs with chicken tenders. There
it is. It looks pretty good. I would rock that
Section one twelve, less hand, that's a big dog. Well,
you know, speaking of big hot dogs, it's up Slugger. Slugger.
(22:17):
He's a big weenies. That's Rich Davis. Everybody. There's a
new hot dog. It's actually a sausage being debut at
Dodger Stadium out here in La It's called the Slugger.
It's a sixteen inch sausage with jalapenos and cheddar. That
sounds good. That sounds like delicious, but it sounds like
you're gonna shit your pants too. But doesn't it sound
good though? Right? A sixteen inch jalapeno chi. You know,
(22:41):
shit in your pants at the ballpark, then you ain't living.
Let's look at that. That's yeah, and that does look
good and it's like a Mexican vibe jalopeno going on
for a minute. But it's really it's like next level.
Every year when they release all the new food items.
You just gone next level. God of the days of Hey,
the ballpark has soda, beer, hot dogs and some peanuts
(23:02):
and crack. It's like, buy me a bird dog and
what's that sushi rolls? It about one last thing before
we say uh later, just google image. I've seen this
at a lot of parks. Now they're doing cotton candy
with mascot masks on them, and also another thing as
far as desserts for kids, giants are doing this and
(23:25):
I wonder if it's gonna be a misstep. Because it's
a it's a bat. It's a plastic baseball bat filled
up with popcorn. And I just wonder. I've seen that,
and I just wonder if they're all gonna empty out
and then people in the stands are just gonna start
beating the hell out of who started that. The giants
are doing that media, so they're doing the popcorn bat
uh in San Francisco. Yeah, it is going to turn
(23:47):
into a weapon when it's empty. Sperg's doing it too,
So the popcorn bats a thing, and they're doing like
the Philly fanatic Pittsburgh. I know a lot of them
are doing cotton candy, but a mask comes around it.
So if it's like green cotton candy, it'll have the
fanatics mask the kids can put on. Well, stuff your face,
enjoy some baseball. The madness is here, March madness, baby,
(24:11):
but again a week away from baseball, so pumped about that.
