Speaker 1 (01:49):
You know.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I told my kids, like, uh, Dad's going to the
All Star Game, and I don't know why it did,
because they're starting to get to the age where they
said I want to go, and I'm like, you know,
when you're a little older, and I'm thinking, like what
ten eleven twelve, Like, what's the ultimate age where you
feel like you.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Were into baseball cards?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Little eleven twelve, Like eleven eleven thirteen was the wheelhouse,
and then when you got into chicks, when you got
into women, then it sort of took about baseball cards
took it back, so yeah, of course, yeah, not actual baseball.
We still love baseball. We'll talk a little baseball. We
have lots to get to every Thursday.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Old school.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
When fifty hits, we throw it back when fifty hits
on the clock, get a little old school. We will
talk about let's just say, the interwebs, the internet. Stick
around for that, plus game shows and more uncomfortable moments
in sports.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yes, uncomfortable moments. We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
But I have a question and I need the help
of the Fox Sports Radio Nation. Danny G's on the phone,
Danny Hell Yeah, eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
Iowa Sam on the ones and twos.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
What I'm Sam? Hi, Hi, I am Sam.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And of course we got dB, the consummate professional on
the updates. Hanging out with us always always a pleasure.
And Spotty's on the videos at Covino and Rich. Do
you have a hard hitting question? Well it's not really
that is that his hard hitting as mine? But actually
Dan Byer might be a big help with my question.
I was gonna say, on a on a hot summer
day like today, if I gave you the option Are
(03:26):
you going mister softy Carvell soft serve or you going
like baskin cold Stone Ben?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
And Jerry's like hart I voted in this poll you
put on social media.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
My wife and I argue about this because I'm like,
who wouldn't choose like a soft serve cone? And She's
like bathkin everybod. I'm like, get out of here. So
the question is soft serve or hard scoop? Is that
really the question?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
That was that was easy. Yeah, I'm going I mean
I like both, obviously.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
What you can do? You know the third option? What
are you gonna get?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Like a bubbalow bill or a fat frog from the
ice cream? Some read is a nice broh.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Like Sherbet or sorbet or something. Mom says, sure, I'd
say a Snickers ice cream bar.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I'm going fat frog, dude. I think it's a weak
ass ice cream man. If he doesn't have soft serve,
because he's really just a car with a freezer in it,
then oh, now you're really just compo soft server or
hard scoop.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Let's move on to here. I'm going dairy Queen soft serve.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
I'm going Tom carvel about dipped in chocolate you had
the crunchy chocolate dip.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
How about a red Merlan? You know, do you know
what the red Merlin is?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Sounds like one year old sex moves? Yeah, yeah, I
gave I gave you this girl on collegey old red Merlin.
It's actually when they dip it in the cherry. Yeah yeah, yeah,
So think about that and hit us up. But I
have another important question right now. I'm sorry mine was
because I'm at a crossroads in life. Got a birthday
coming up yet I'm still feeling young and spry, but
(04:56):
I am at that stage of life. Well, what's next? Right,
I'm hitting the gym every day, I'm always on the treadmill.
I try to watch what I eat, try to bring
my best. Well, you know you're feeling. You're feeling probably
what every honestly star athlete feels in their late thirties
early forties, where they're like, I used.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
To be so dominant. What's happening to me?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I don't want to be fat like Patrick Mahomes apparently,
even though we defended him yesterday we said he's not fat.
And by the way, if he is fat, what are
the linemen?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
What are they? If Mahomes is fat. What about the
other guys.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
So I'm at that crossroads of life, the coming of age,
where I mean, you don't want to get hurt, right,
Like if you're playing a pickup game of basketball, you're
sort of just shooting, right, you're not really driving the
ball the way you used to because you're sort of
tiptoeing around.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Like, I want to play, but I don't want.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
To like go all out like these idiots. I'm not
trying to get hurt. You're at the crossroads. But cue
the bone thugs at harmony. But bone bone bone cross.
Now the crossword is this. I don't play softball, never
really liked it. I shoot around when I can. You
want to stay active, and golf's not you think, well,
(06:12):
that's what I'm saying. I feel golf maybe calling my
name a little bit. Because you want to socialize. You
want to hang out with your buds, you want to
have big time business meetings. Right, there's so much you
want to be outdoors. You want to get away from
the wife. There's so many benefits. You might You may
drink that what's it called trans the drink trans what's
the drink called now? It's now it's trans the drinks,
even the drinks trans now, No, it's a tranquil somehow.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
No, the golf drink about juice and vodka and something. No,
I have no idea what you're talking. There's a golf drink.
There's a golf drink. Someone has been brought to my attention.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Our buddy Brandon told us about it, and then my
girlfriend confirmed, like, yeah, it's a super popular drink.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
She works at a golf course. I don't.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I don't drink alcohol, so if it's an alcoholic drink,
I probably wouldn't know it.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
So there's all these reasons that I want to maybe
sniff for golf course. Talk about the classic transfusion, the
transfusion which is which is podka?
Speaker 1 (07:05):
How did you not get transfusion trans am?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
I don't know what you're saying trans For the record,
it's it's vodka ginger ale with some grape juice, and
that apparently is the the hot you know what, Sam.
I didn't buy into the hybe either. I was like, yeah,
I don't know about that. Gingerill usually mixed with whiskey,
but apparently it's like the number one golf course cocktails.
(07:30):
Ginger Ale the number one answer of beverages. I only
drink on a plane for some reason, or when you're
sick maybe. But I also realized that golf is extremely frustrating, right,
that's the downside. There's pros and cons, and there's also
the feeling of I don't know, I feel like that's
an old guy thing. Am I at that stage of life?
Look at all your star athletes play.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
I'm just telling you where my mind goes a little bit, right,
So I'm like, I could still hit a three point shot?
Am I ready for the golf course? Then I saw
something else today. Danny g sent this to and it's
gone kind of viral. There was a post on social
media from and by the way, I just love the name,
so I gotta say it. I wasn't gonna give the
guy any credit, but I love the name. Matt van Swoll.
(08:12):
Matt van Swollow, you gotta live up to that name.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
I know. I've been following him for years.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Matt van Swoll. Is he not like a workout guy?
I mean, you can't be. It can't be a torp
if you have that name. He posted this breaking sort
of developing viral story where extremely rare footage has emerged
of two Amish couples playing pickleball in a barn in Pennsylvania.
(08:38):
So pickleball exploding so hard that is trinkling into the
Amish community. Pickleball is reportedly exploding in popularity amongst the Amish,
and it also gets me thinking of maybe that's the avenue.
So my question is when you're at that stage of
life where everyone's talking about golf and their golf weekend
(08:59):
and they're out and they went traveling. They were golfing
and golf, but you're also hearing on the other side.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Man, I was in this pickleball tournament. I go out,
me and my wife and.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Pickleball and pick If you had a choice to make
right now, if you're at that crossroads like me and
both thugs in Harmony and Britney Spears and Ralph Machi
You ever see Ralph Macchio.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
By the way, all great references.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yeah, if you're at the crossroads hanging out with us
and you were to guide little Stevie here, where would
you tell me to lean as my next venture?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I would tell you to lean like Cotrello.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
All right, but no, no, obviously you could do. But hey,
why not both that's always the answer. But if I
was going to dive into one based on the exploding
popularity where the Amish are competing, do you do that
pickleball or golf? I know you for a long time,
I feel like golf is a planned activity.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's a commitment activity.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
And you're a guy that doesn't Kavina's a type of
guy that that's doesn't like to make a barber appointment
like a week in advance. You got to get tea times.
You got to get a force theme together. But not
if he just goes to the golf range though. Golfing
that's just playing a top of golf for topic. Do
you want to do that? I figure that's I realized
how bad I was at that recently in Vegas. Sounds like, Man,
(10:17):
I really.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
Got to driving, dance and you're just hitting golf all.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I want to start driving, go to the range, and
you know, get better at that as we grow and
these become the hobbies that we lean into. Dan Bayer,
I sort of got a feeling of what you would say,
Dan Byer, where's golf gear to work?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
You love it?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Well?
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I do, and a lot of times I'll after work,
I'll just go straight to the course and then you know,
hit some balls on the range and then go home
because it's on my way home.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
So that's I feel, you, Yeah, like I'm primed and
ready to go to the gym right after work.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Here.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Dan Byer is a big golf guy, so I imagine
you'd be like, dude, get some clubs, get involved, and
there's so many pros to yes, being a golf guy,
because you could do that for so long.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
I'll even go ahead. You see Dan Byer's chee Chi
Rodriguez moves.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Where he's got some timely reference.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Yes on warn Wolves plays of the year because he
would always do fun little celebrations.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yes, he's only been dead for a little while, but hey,
it's all good, you know.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
But uh not for a long time, you know, che rider. No,
but I was just gonna say this, guys. You know,
I'm not the biggest baseball fan. Played when I was
I was younger, I you know, liked the game and
not as much as you guys. But I bought a
glove as an adult. You know why, because I need
a glove as an adult my kid. I bought it
(11:40):
before I had our son, because I just you need
a glove, like and I didn't have my glove from
from when I, you know, was a teenager, so I
bought a glove. And I feel like you need to
do the same with golf clubs. You may not choose.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
That's like pulling the band aid, like just pulling the
trigger by just have.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Them, yeah, just have him in case it Like, I'm
not telling you to pick pickleball or to pick golf
or to pick disc golf for whatever you want to do,
but you should just have a set that you can
use and as you get older, if there's more opportunities,
then you have them there to use and not like, hey,
go to borrow sort of clubs, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
But it's also making that commitment, right, So yeah, yes,
step one, like I invested in this, in this already,
maybe I get into it because there are so many
benefits to having being able to carry your own I
guess hold your own on.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
The golf course.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
But again, you got to see this picture pickleballs exploding
so much. Guys that this is also giving other people
a sense of fomo, the fear of missing out because
there's so many people talking about it. The Amish are
apparently clearing out barns. This photo's kind of wild. Actually no,
it's the photoshop at first, and I'm still not convinced.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You know what. For all we know is they have
a little video of it. I just took a still shot.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
Oh you saw the video, Okay, I saw that could
guys and they clear out these I saw that if
you scrive, if you really zoom in, you see Jebediah's agenda.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
It's churn butter, make some horseshoes and play pickle ball. Wild. Yeah,
but they clear out this really this really nice barn.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
It looks like the roof of a barn, actually right,
And they have these little amish tournaments and the picture
that's gone viral, according to Matt van swol is actually
really cool. So in an ever changing world of what's
hot and what's next, and you're about to make those moves,
what would you do?
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What would you suggest? What are you going to do?
Speaker 2 (13:36):
Because guess what, you're not gonna be able to play
intermural whatever it is that you do for activities forever.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
What's interesting as well is that there's video, but there's
I'm just doesn't necessarily like to be photographed.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Who took this video is it is that. Yeah, somebody
sent it to the property.
Speaker 4 (13:55):
But for some reason they're going to make a movie
like Kingpin, Like, yeah, that's my favorite. It's locked up
in a high bird's eye view of this of this showdown.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
I just saw the video that Danty was talking about. Well, Rich,
what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I mean, I know you think you're gonna be the
softball king of the valley forever, plays softball until I'm old.
And there's guys that are like sixty seventy something years old.
I got thirty years to be those guys. But golf
I lean more towards because I, while I do have
a little bit of a baseball swing.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Is there more drive the ball?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But there is there a more legitimacy to it than
like just to eat The title of the.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Game bothers me too, to be honest, pickleball ball, what
do they mean?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
But you're a guy that cares about names. You want
to watch Handmaid's Tale because you said the name sounded corny.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Pa, Well, and I'm right, yeah that doesn't intrue.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
Like I don't feel like Steve Cavino pickleball player, Like
that just sounds lame to me.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Well, I think you know. I hate to be the guys.
That's why not both? But give both a shot, and
you know what it is. I'll give you this. If
I were telling you choose between two women or two jobs,
don't you sort of want to try him out first
before you make a decision.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I mean that's great advice.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
I mean, if you were on the Bachelor, when do
you take them both to the fantasy suite and give
it a spin?
Speaker 1 (15:12):
But I'm only picking one. But go go do around
the golf.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Maybe a Saturday, if Dan Bayer could escape, we go
do maybe even nine holes, right, just do something, and
then you and I go play pick a ball and
maybe one of them you're like, bro, I'm a du dude.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
And the other one you're like, yeah, boring, you know,
Sam and Danny g Where does your interest lean? I'm
actually leaning golf.
Speaker 5 (15:32):
My cousin who's a couple of years older than me,
and I grew up with him almost like he's my brother.
We're that close. So he just started playing golf and
dB in his backyard. He set up one of those
it's not a simulator, but you hit the balls into it.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
I'm not sure what that's called. Okay, yeah, yeah, some
people put up nuts. Yeah yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:50):
So he bought this fancy thing that he's working on
his swing. And it's weird to see him into golf
because that's a sport he used to make fun of.
But it's got me interested in joining him on on
a golf course, even to play nine.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Like Rich said, Sam, I like to be outdoors, so
I'd probably say golf.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
I would just say it's it's more of an investment
financially obviously, if you're going to buy.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
As our show grows, maybe it's uh, you know, we
have a little golf outings to kickleballs. Just need the
racket and some shoes and the court and some friends.
I like the walking. I like the golf courses. They're beautiful.
I'm watching I'm watching Stick on Apple TV with Owen Wilson. Wow,
And honestly, just from watching that, I'm like, wow, you
know what, Like I don't know, just there's something about
(16:30):
golf where I feel like that's where I'm headed. And and
by the way, just like when you had a kid,
had no idea that about golf. Just like when you
and your ex had your daughter and you felt like
you were a young dad, and I'm like, dude, you're thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
You're not a young dad. I was thirty three.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
You make it sound like like you're too young to golf,
like Lebron James is golfing like people that are you know,
young young athletes, actors, you know, seeing dudes and checker
pants play golf.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
I know it's different now it's changed.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
I think, you know, Hay Gilmour should have shattered all
those stereotypes. Yes, you have a guy in a Boston
Brunis Jersey come in and just completely changed the game.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
But to wrap it up, some of us, do you
want to throw a guy to lake? Don't you want
to tussle on the golf course? Like the viral video
there was a big fight at a Canadian golf course
this week that's gone viral And this NHL goon tossed
this drunken buffoon into a swamp, into a lake or whatever.
It's a great fight video. So yeah, it gets crazy.
(17:25):
It's a lot of fun. But to wrap it up,
based on the Amish Barn story, this this top secret
footage just surface. I'm not sure I could think of
many things that have exploded. What seems to be overnight
the way pickleball has. You could say, in our lifetime,
ultimate fighting.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Really took off.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
But pickleball you got professional athletes buying into teams, You
got all these leagues and tournaments. It is pretty wild
to see that it has infiltrated not only the mainstream.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But the Amish community. No doubt, I think both are
great options. I really do think.
Speaker 2 (18:01):
I'm not trying to make a crude analogy, but when
you are dating, when you're going for job interviews, you
want to try things right, So I think, why don't
you make this the summer of the Summer of Steve
Covino's New Adventures pickleball Golf? Hey used to bowl when
you're a kid. See if you still got the love
for bowling. Honestly, that would be my number one preference. Yeah,
Bowling's blast be the next Link lifeb next Pete Webbers.
(18:26):
Yeah all right, Well, anyway, if you guys have any
thoughts or ideas, let me know at Covino and Rich
at Steve Covino And the number, of course is eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
Sure a lot of your weekends are taken up by
either your kids' sports or this stuff. I got to
ask one crucial question, not just to you, but in general,
there's a sentiment of do you want to bond with
your wife or girlfriend or do you need time away
from her? Because I feel like I see a lot
of a lot of couples with the pickle with the pickleballing.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
When I was when I'll spend a lot of time
in Austin when we were remodeling our house.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, I lived in Austin for like six months.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
There's a gym with a huge pickleball facility that I
was going to every day and I'd see all these
middle age and older couples doing doubles, and I feel
like that's a bonding thing.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Golf.
Speaker 2 (19:12):
I feel like a lot of times there's definitely women
into golf, but I feel like it's more like.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
Yes, a bond with a page sporadic.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, I feel like there's just a lot of guys
that are dipping away in their wives are bitching that
they're gone six hours. You know, So pickleball golf, you
be the decider. And a note for Dan Byer and
anyone else, I end up sporting equipment for their kids.
This is not an ad because I did my own
little research. I just bought my kid a Mizuno Power
Clothes glove. There's only like forty to fifty bucks because
(19:39):
some gloves are very expensive. But my kid is five,
gonna be six, and it's nice leather, but it's already
broken in. And some of them are either really nice
leather that you have to do so much breaking in,
or those like plasticky, crappy material. The Mizzuno Power Clothes
is the nicest kids glove I've seen, So take that
with you will look for it, and we have a
(20:03):
lot more to get to. I do want to make
fun of Wan Sodo if we have time they.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Caught of him next because I'm ready to fight you
on this guy.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
And by the way, during the break, can you turn
the Mets game on one of the TV's Mets Orioles
game two of a double header. If they win today
game two, I'll be happy.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I know they dropped game.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
One right, duddy up to nothing in the first look
at that. Thank you for letting me miss that, Sam
by notppy. I have to say most things that want
Sodo does, most things that Rich does bother me.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Will Sam say to Rich, I'm not the only one
that knows how to use a remote like he did
to me yesterday.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
Will you say that to Rich Davis. I don't know
that side of Sam where he gets all snippy like that. Sam.
I hope I never get to that, you know.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Yeah, bothers me the same way, Sam, bothers Dan want
Soto said something that just rub.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
Me the wrong way? Am I a bitter Yankees fan? Yes?
Speaker 2 (20:55):
I am, I admit it, But I just don't like
this guy's attitude. His priorities are off, and I'll explain.
Speaker 6 (21:00):
All right.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
We got more Cavino Rich hanging out Thursday on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
Coveno's at the crossroads guys in his forties and he's
like doing golf room crossroad, crossroads.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Covino and Rich at the crossroad of life. Yeah, Peter Alonzo, Sorry,
we'll meet you there.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Sorry.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
O's had the bases loaded, two outs, line drive to
first base. My dude, the Polar Bear stamped it two nothing.
Mets thirst.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Do you think the Polar Bear cares about you?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You know what I'm hoping for. I'm going to my
first Mets game at City Field with my kids. We're
gonna take a couple of days in New York. I
got second row behind the Mets. Dugout hoping my kids
say love Pete Alonzo. If he gives them a little
wave or something, it'll make their day. If he doesn't,
I may hat on them. Why you think I had
a fifty five down second? Your big head's gonna go second.
(22:00):
If he's got his little pi Alnzo shirt on my pete,
pull a mat Pete like if he gives my son
a little like a wearing nooggin boss or something where
something that stands out. Oh, biggest hat, because that's the
only hat that fits Rich anyway. So I'm Covino, that
is Rich. That's the biggest head in the limb.
Speaker 5 (22:14):
You're gonna have to instruct your kids exactly what to
yell Rich to get his attention.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
You're luck at the Mets gave you some money. Yeah, yeah,
What do they have to say to get his attention?
Speaker 6 (22:23):
No?
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Danny G's on the phones at eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, Covino and Rich Sam is here. DB's
got your update in about nine minutes. But before we
make fun of Juan Soto and before we do old
school and fifty hits. Let's just take this quick phone call.
The crossroad I'm at is, do you do golfer pickleball?
With pickleball exploding and you're still very active? I know
(22:47):
there's a lot of injuries involved old people busting hips
left and right playing pickleball.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Do you make that choice?
Speaker 2 (22:53):
If you had a choice to make right now at
the crossroad, would it be golfer pickleball? For what to
invest in next in life? Calvin in Mesa, Arizona.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
What's up, Calvin?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Not much? Good, Good afternoon, guys.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Calvin.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
This is an interesting point, Kavino brings up. And I
say that because if you're roughly forty, you are starting
to see random friends like our buddy Nico in Arizona. Yeah,
he's just like mister golf. All of a sudden, like
twice a week he's on the golf course. It's it's
you know, I feel like you have kids. You need
a little getaway once in a while. Calvin, you are
you going golf for pickleball?
Speaker 7 (23:27):
Pickle ball?
Speaker 8 (23:28):
Now?
Speaker 7 (23:29):
I'm played both and they both have their advantages and disadvantages,
But pickle ball is such a social game. If you
need that extra social area in your life and we're
a golf you know, you don't get back quite as
much you have your foursome, but you're not talking on
the course or sitting around talking while you're waiting on
(23:51):
the next game.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Yeah that makes sense. Oh hold on, now, that's a
great What if? What if you and I became a
pickleball duo and no one could be that'd be double
right doubles for doubles champs in the valley All valley
doubles champs pickleball Coveno and Rich, I mean Dan Patrick's
on the Family Feud tonight. What if Covino and Rich
on the pickleball circuit? And by the way, if you
just joined us, there's a viral photo and video of
(24:16):
Amish people. They're saying it's exploding. This sport's so big.
There's photos I don't know how, But then the photos
and video of Amish people clearing out barns just to
participate in their own pickleball tournaments. So thank you guys
for all your feedback and all your help and suggest
g ownes at Covino on Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
But I do want to play this clip that rubbed
me the wrong way. Really made me Johnny Yill, No,
(24:40):
Johnny Yill rubbed me the right way. Well, that's right,
Wan Soto rubs me the wrong way. Now what rubbed
me the wrong way the most is well the decision
he made, because I don't believe it was to play
for the Mets. It was all about the bag, as
they say, it was all about the money. Five million
more to play for the Mets. Meanwhile, he just made
a World Series run with the Yankees. Yeah, five million
(25:00):
more and and the Yankees an extra year. There are
things that I'm going to agree and disagree with you on,
but before you even proceed, he didn't have to leave
the market he was in. He went across town. The
Mets are known to be more family friendly. You could
say it's all about the bag, but the Mets and Yankees,
the records will show you. Now they're very similar as
(25:23):
far as potential. But the Yankees kissed his ass for
an entire year. Yeah, Aaron Judge bringing him breakfast. They
did everything they could kids. They had a World Series run,
they had unfinished business series run.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
They did not they were not in the World Series.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
They they played the Dodgers, but the Yankees did so
say the Mets better than the Yankees. You could say
it all you want. He left for the money, dude.
It was the money. And that's what bothered me. It
wasn't like, you know, a quality of life decision. It
was for the money. He left for the Mets. I
hated that about him. And show me where his priorities were.
I get, it's a business point. How much money do
you need? The Yankees overed him seven hundred and sixty
(26:03):
million dollars or whatever. So he doesn't make the All
Star team. We're going to be out there. We made
it as we approach All Star break, and you know,
do I think it's a snub? I do, rich because
he did turn it on. He was the player of
the much who was the player of the National League
for the month of jum much to my dismay. There's
no question the guy has caught up to where he
(26:24):
should be. Right some of the biggest snubs this year,
according to our guy, Ben Verlander and other MLB experts,
wan Soto's top of the list. Then you got George
Springer with the Blue Jays and Suzuki with the Cubs.
But wan Soto was snubbed, and he was asked about it,
and before we play the clip, just please pay attention
to where his priorities are. Again, why are you upset
(26:48):
Wan Soto that you were snubbed for the All Star team?
Would you have like to nike Ye's her team?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
What you think.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
A question?
Speaker 1 (26:56):
And I think it's it's a lot of money on
the table. Wo make it boo again? About the money?
What about the honor and the accolade? With a smile
on his face doesn't mean.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
He was joking. Dude, Rich thinks that this is a
big joke. I want Soto. Why don't you open up
for Cedric the entertainer. He's not a comedian, He's not
the King comedy.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
It's not him.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
He's not replacing Bernie mac Dude, he's not the guy. Okay,
he stinks his whole mindset immediately wasn't like, oh yeah,
it would have been great to be out there with
the best in the game. You know, I turned it
up this season. I think I deserve it. You know
it hurts my feelings. Guy, I want to go to
Atlanta represent He's like, no, the money and you know
what the money is this bozo, It is boso haircut.
(27:41):
It's one hundred thousand dollars bonus, which is a lot
to me and you and everybody else. But when you're
making seven hundred and sixty five million, what's enough for
this guy? He gets certain bonuses from making the team,
and I looked it up as part of his contract,
one hundred thousand dollars if he made the All Star team.
That's his answer, that's his mindset. This guy's garbage, dude.
(28:02):
He's a great ballplayer. His priorities are cheeks. I like
cal Rawley cheeks, deflated cheeks. Cal Rawley has nice rump
his cheeks. So I can't, as a Mets fan defend
you're saying he's joke. I can't defend the weak ast
answer that he gave. But what I can defend is
(28:22):
he said it in jest. For all we know his
comedic timings been. He didn't say it serious. He laughed.
The reporters left. He was smiling ear to ear the
whole time, Like you know, there's a lot of money
left on the table. It's it's funny. Maybe the joke
is or the guy just sees dollar signs with everything
he does. I get it's a business, listen, but does
it not.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Mean anything to you.
Speaker 2 (28:41):
Jabebroni's like you and Yankee fans, who who's the Jibbroni here?
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Me or Soto bro?
Speaker 2 (28:47):
You and all Yankee fans that are just but hurt
that you got dumbed to the first time in a
long time. You love to paint this picture that Wan
Soto is this terrible guy in the clubhouse. His teammates
will say he's fantastic, will say that he gathers the
guys together and he's a team guy. Everything about Wan
Soto's great except what he gives that an answer that
(29:08):
you don't find funny and he dished you. It's it's
like a girl left you and yes she's ugly. Now dude,
it's won. So I'll get over to start to realize
you know all along that you were blinded and she's
got terrible attributes. He's got terrible qualities. It's the truth.
You see it. Yes, you're right, I see it now.
I loved him last year he was hitting home runs
for the Yankees. Now I'm seeing all these negative qualities. Please,
(29:29):
you had movement in your pants when he would do
the Soto shuffle last year. His first default response was
the one hundred thousand dollars that he's missing out on.
How about man, it would have been a great honor
to be an All Star for the Mets. Well, I
can't defend the bunk answer, but hey, your thoughts.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
I like how Covino used the word rump is to
describe like a fuller rump, when in fact it means
just like chaos.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
It's a bigger rump. It's got multiple meanings. Sam, It's fine.
I loved it. Yeah, it was flexible.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I always say, let the wild rump is start. There,
you go run, not talking about ass when I say that.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
Is rumpus and dumpest.
Speaker 2 (30:02):
Well, anyway, Hey, your thoughts on one sodo, your thoughts
on pickleballer golf. We're gonna get to a bunch. We
got NFL on the agenda. It's Thursday, so we're gonna
go old school in a little bit. Talks to multiple
Internet and all that's coming up. We're gonna have a
fun one today. But let's go to our pal Dan Byer.
He'll keep you in the loop. What's going on, dB?
Speaker 4 (30:17):
Yeah, your Mets right now still up in the Orioles
two nothing in game two of their double header, playing
give me a second bomb one Sodo, Yeah that bum
Wan Soto all about the money he is. Earlier today,
the Orioles beat Riches Mets by a score of three
to one.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
The Cubs dropped the Twins eight to one. Today.
Speaker 4 (30:34):
Is Pete Crow Armstrong hit two home runs. Numbers twenty
four to twenty five on the season, Redsley. The Marlins
won nothing in the second inning as they play in Cincinnati.
Jalen Williams got paid by the Oklahoma City Thunder. The
Guard gets a five year MAX extension worth two hundred
and eighty seven million dollars, according to ESPN. That says
the Thunder could pay out as much as eight hundred
(30:56):
and twenty two million dollars in the three contracts that
they gave to Shay gild Alexander chet Holmgren, and Williams.
Amanda man Annasamova I get it right, yes. Annasamova topped
Arena Sablenka today at Wimbledon Indy Ladies semi Finals in
three sets. She's onto her first ever Grand Slam final.
(31:19):
Good job for the thirteen seeded American. She'll have to
face eight seeded Eagash Fontek, who's making her first Wimbledon
final appearance. She's a five time Grand Slam winner. A
petition is now evolved asking for the oustro of nfl
PA executive director Lloyd Howell. Earlier today at ESPN, report
showed Howell as a consultant for a private equity firm
that can purchase minority ownership in the NFL. Teams Sepstraca,
(31:42):
Jake Knapp and others share the first round lead at
the Scottish Open at six hundred par Scottis shuffer three back,
Rory McElroy four shots back in Cooper Flag and the
Mavericks face Brownie James and the Lakers tonight in Summer
League play.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Guys back to you.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Thank you, demd Can I enter you in a contest?
I feel like you're great at this blindly sportscasters who
blindly have to pronounce tennis and UFC fighter names.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
UFC is tough. I'll tell you there are times you
could watch soccer names.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
You could be watching UFC and the broadcasters announcer and
throughout the whole card people are saying the person's name
five different ways. We should challenge Dan Byer one day,
give a bunch of hockey names in UFC names and
the one we were in a fight, Uh is it
Beevil Bevell Buie Bell like because so many.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Bible The ava is tricky because I kept on saying animasova,
so I had the M and the.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
S switched around. But it's a samova. It's like when
people do the when ben yama? When when bam yah? Yeah?
Sometimes a tricky whyama. They don't see you play well enough.
It becomes a household name.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
So it's true you ain't getting thank you to.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
You know. Yeah, I can't even say that, dude.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
That's why some people just say Yannis. It's the same
reason people say kobeeb.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
How do you say Kobeb's last name?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Kabeb uh my own head? Right there you go, I
got it right, kabibe naraga made.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
Yeah, I hope you got it. Let me give you
guys a quick trivia question. Then we're going to get
into old school and fifty hits. We'll take some fall calls.
My buddy Rob down in San Antonio, hit me up,
he goes, and he knows we're big baseball fans. He goes,
you and Covino probably big Gary Sheffield fans.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
I go, yeah, love it.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
He goes, Chef hit his five hundred home run as
a met I go, believe it or not. Oddly enough,
I was at that game. He goes, there are three
players since Sheffield that have entered the five hundred home
run club.
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Who are those three players?
Speaker 2 (33:40):
Since Sheffield did it, three guys have joined only three, Yeah,
Sheffield and nine. So Sheffield did it in nine. Yeo, Cabrera,
you got one of them. Miggy poohols number two. Yeah,
you guys are good. Two out of the three so far,
one more, one more since Sheffield hit five hundred, which,
(34:02):
by the way, that just shows you in the last
fifteen years only two guys have added to the five hundred.
Three guys have been added. Poolholz, Miguel Cabrera. I'll give
you some of my guesses that were wrong. I said Tome,
He goes, no, that was seven. I go Frank Thomas.
He goes, oh seven as well.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I go eight. Riddy goes oh seven too. The answer
hold on on, you got this big poppies, Yes it is.
Let's say, I don't think he had five hundred, but
he did.
Speaker 6 (34:32):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Look at you guys, smart kids, right, Hey, you know
I got another trivia that I'll give you later on.
Speaker 1 (34:36):
How about that.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
We got more cavin on Rich next right here on
Fox Sports Radio Hink time. Side note, we're all big,
we're now fans here in the studio. In fact, we've
had him on our show a few times and he's
a big fan.
Speaker 6 (34:56):
You know.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
We have a parody band with over one hundred songs.
We can't play the songs on Fox Sports Radio, but
if you if you search hard for Ticklesack.
Speaker 5 (35:04):
I saw them live in Vegas. Yeah, tingle Sack was
going to call it a concert. It wasn't really a concert,
but it was a live performance. We went aluminum in Canada,
I believe.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
So, Yeah, Ticklesack, look it up, guys, Cavino and Rich
and we play Amish Paradise because apparently pickleball is all
the rage. They cleared out the viral thing is and
Sam cleared this up for us. They cleared out a hayloft,
a beautiful detailed hayloft.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Yeah, please don't call it a barn. It's not a barn.
It's part of the barn. Yeah, hayloft.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
And they have tournaments there and there's top secret footage
of it and we were talking about hey, because it's
exploding so much to you get into pickleball or golf
if you have the choice. And then we started talking
about Wan Soto, so we got all kinds of phone
calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Do
you want to say hi to a couple of people,
then we'll move along or what it? Let's say had
(35:56):
a Ryan in Montana? Ryan, what's up, buddy?
Speaker 6 (36:00):
And I just wanted to talk about golf. Yeah, first,
pickle ball?
Speaker 1 (36:04):
What you got?
Speaker 6 (36:06):
I mean, it took golf five centuries to become popular. Yes,
pickleball's got long ways ago.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
Yeah, but it is blowing up, dude, I mean I
get what you're saying. Was major leagues man, Fish and Pa,
what's up?
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Fish? Hey? Fish?
Speaker 6 (36:22):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (36:22):
Guys? Definitely golf, scramble with friends, there's strategy, there's beer,
there's everything, you know what.
Speaker 2 (36:30):
Then this was a useful conversation because of the social aspects.
I don't really like to socialize that much, so I'd
like to go and hang with my buddies at a
golf course, and it just seems there's something a little
bit more legitimate to it, you know, to me, Yeah,
go ahead on Sodo, man.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
What's up?
Speaker 8 (36:49):
But it's a competition, so okay, that makes it fun
and Sodo just ask Dan Byer. Kirk Cousins, even on
a rant.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Is the.
Speaker 8 (37:01):
Je Soto of football, only less talented. He's done the
best to get the biggest bag possible for his ability?
Speaker 1 (37:09):
Oh is he the Is he the kirk Cousins?
Speaker 4 (37:11):
Hey, guys, I did go off on kirk Cousins, but
just because I felt kirk Cousins has always been about
that money. So for him trying to spin a story
maybe kind of like Soto of like this or that,
maybe not apples to apples, but I don't think that
he's necessarily that far off. And a lot of people say,
who can fault them? Maybe that's your point, Rich, like
(37:32):
what's wrong with going after the money?
Speaker 2 (37:33):
But I just I just think he's also joking a
little bit, was joking. I felt fine. All right, well,
