(01:50):

Colin on the Herd. We came, we saw ooh, we

over promised episode one oh three, very controversial episod, so
check it out on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. But
it's good to be back. Had a nice weekend. It's
good to be here in Jersey, gaining lots of weight,
eating lots of pizza and let's die. Like I said,
if you eat too much, you won't be able to
(03:12):
fit into your Sydney Sweeney jeans you just got, I know,
and they're so good, They're so genetically sound.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
For you, they're so great.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That is me racist.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That is that is the number one story that I
don't know why it bothers me so much. I just
feel like it's the last brain cell of people that
have a problem with Sidney Sweeney and her jeens, like
as if genetics are a bad thing, like you're telling
me Lebron James doesn't have good genetics. DK Metcalf Show, Hey, Otani,
Brad Pitt, you see Stamos over the weekend? Yeah, come on, serious, dude,
(03:45):
I feel a little guilty now I'm questioning should I
ever think she's hot again? Because if not, people are
gonna say I'm a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's so weird. It's terrible, and you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
We talk about that a little more on over promised
episode one oh three Fox Sports Radios YouTube pitch. We
bought those people in the same moronic category as those
that don't think Kitling Clark is the face of the WNBA.
So you'll hear all about it again on our pod.
It was a good one, yeah, buddy for free bonus pod.
Enjoy it, Send it to some friends and let's keep
(04:14):
everybody in line. Sidney Sweeney's hot period, Now you know
what else is hot? Or as we've been saying over
and over again, and in fact, this is why we
have to talk about it now on Cavino and Rich
because when we filled in for Colin, we let off
Friday show talking about baseballs popping. In fact, if we
were doing a drinking game on Friday, starting the weekend early,
(04:38):
we would have had a drink or do a shot
at least seventy five times we said baseball's popping. At
least seventy five times in the first two hours.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Baseball's popping, Baseball's popping.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We've been abusing, leaning into that baseball's doing everything right.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Treat Deadline.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You got the Bristol Motor Speedway game, the SuperStar's Brother
mar kidding, we.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Were pop swinging, swinging, pun intended from the from.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The balls of Major League Baseball. There you go from
the Major League base balls, and when they're doing everything right,
we're cheering.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But when you do something wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We also have to be consistent and bring it up
because it seems like something that was supposed to be
awesome just wasn't And is it all Major League Baseball's fault. Yes,
kind of because they weren't prepared. But we can't let
mother nature off the hook. I mean the Bristol Motor
Speedway game, Danny. I remember when you first sent me
the overhead of what it looked like. I'm like, man,
(05:38):
they fit a baseball field on that racetrack, like you knows,
almost one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It looked no got plus side. You have to remember
the reasoning, right, they're trying to do special events.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
They did the field, the Dreams Game.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They'd done a few different games to bring more fun
to the MLB. So this year they're doing the Bristol
Motor Speedway, the first ever Major League Baseball game in
the state of Tennessee. So everybody's all, yeah, a game
of baseball, not horseshoes, game of baseball in the state
of Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Pit Bulls worldwide was there helping to open it up.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Safe, dude, not only pitbull eighty five thousand plus at
the Bristol Motor Speedway. And it was really cool how
they did it. But again, it was an unconventional field.
It wasn't meant for proper drainage. They weren't expecting this
much rain, and it rained and it rained and it delayed.
And I don't know about you guys, but I was
(06:40):
watching and I felt so embarrassed and so sad for
the fan. I felt embarrassed for MLB, even though it
wasn't their fault, but it was like this big event
and then rain was ruined. It's like a rain on
your wedding day, isn't it ironic, don't you think? And
I'm like, I feel so bad and all the fans
that went there with their kids and families for the
first time ever, and it's raining and it's delayed in
(07:03):
it starts and it delays again. The field's not draining,
and the glisten they kept talking about the field is glistening.
And I was listening and I was embarrassed for the
whole thing. It felt so bad. And then no, and
then and then they were able to pick up the
game the next day, so it's already sort of a fail.
But again, mother nature, the deflated feeling of taking your
(07:26):
family there.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, and all the promotion that was involved in this
game to then cancel it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And I understood they had to, but they canceled the
game and everyone has to go home with their umbrellas,
all sogging, wet and mopi and probably consoling their kids
because they maybe couldn't make it back.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The next day.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, then we saw on social media some fans complaining
because they ran out of hot dog buns right away,
so they were serving hot dogs without the buns. Asked
Joey Chestnut about that, and then what was the other complaint?
Rich O nachos without.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Cheout the cheese with cheese, They had cereal without the milks,
cam without the burger, peanut butter, no jelly like so
then they start getting criticized for not being prepared. And
when you start talking about no buns, I'm out because
Casino and rich love puns, that is true. And they
start comparing it to the Fire Festival, which was the
(08:21):
failed music festival where they were like, remember the gourmet
food was like a cheese sandwich. Then they were sleeping
intents just within the show. We were all tuned in
to watch it. Did you watch it the next day?
Because I didn't. I did not, to be honest, That's
what I'm saying. So how many people out of the
eighty five thousand that were there, all excited with their
(08:44):
cotton candy, and they're a hot dog in their hand.
At least I hope that was a hot dog. How
many even think went back the next day? Was it
as packed?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
From the footage I saw? It didn't look it. I mean,
I think overall was a great idea.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
It was sometimes weather sometimes whether you're taking it like,
all right, how many times have you had a friend
or you know, your buddy and his wife get married
and they're taking a big chance. They're like, well, cocktail
hours outdoors, and I mean, if it rains, we'll try
to squeeze everyone in the little reception area, but we're
crossing our fingers. Those scenarios go wrong sometimes, and so
(09:21):
I hope they don't, but they do, they do, And
we call this when weather strikes because it ruined what
was supposed to be a really big weekend for the
MLB and all the fans in Tennessee that went to
see the game Bristol Motor Speedway.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And again, is it all the MLB's fault.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, But they weren't prepared properly, so therefore yes, but
you can't control mother nature, and it really struck down.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
In a big way. So was it a wedding, was
it a big party?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Was it something that was special to you that was
ruined because of the weather, Maybe a vacation Because I
got a story. I know Rich has a story, and
we open it up to everybody at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Anyone that has, you know, any
outdoor event, has has in their life taken the risk
of like, man, I hope it doesn't rain that day.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I mean, that's that's that's normalcy.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I also think that at least a good thing if
you want to take a positive out of it, is
again it highlights the fact that hot dog buns are
made in eight and hot dog packages by some companies
are ten. Yes, and so when you see when you
see the no buns hot dog, it kind of brings
this topic back to the forefront on why some major
(10:35):
corporations cannot just make packages of eight unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I agree with it.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's one of the biggest unspoken schemes it is in life,
and people don't realize that no scrubs actually was no buns,
but then they changed it to scrubs later on.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But you didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Cavino I don't want no buns.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yes, that's little known music fact, man, you know, so
no buns, bad weather, you know, you know I remember
back in the day. Now, granted it wasn't my real
only reason to go there, but my wife and I
went with another couple.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
We were friends with. Ooh, swinger Action. I'm just keeping
his sports really Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We went with another couple for a little double date
weekend down to South Beach, and part of the agenda
was to see Lebron James play for the Miami Heat
when he was in his primo days, right when the
Heat was winning and you know it was you know,
Dwayne Wade bosh Lebron, and I said, you know what,
(11:35):
why don't we go see a Miami Heat game?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And then we're in South Beach for the whole weekend.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
When I tell you, that whole weekend, other than the
two hours I was in the arena watching Lebron James,
it was like a torrential downpour, hurricane to the point
where I feel like my wife and I just sat
in like the hotel lobby for three days just having cocktails.
Like weather can ruin a trip. How many time have
you looked at your weather app. When you're headed to
(12:03):
an island or something, you're like, oh, dude, I want
you to play along at home. In fact, everybody, if
you're in the car, you're on the iHeartRadio app. Wherever
you are pullover to the side, or at your next
stop light, or when you get home, pull over, pull
out your phone. Pull out your phone right now, Rich
Danny dB dan Byer on the update Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Every pull out their phone. Yeah, I'm heading to Orlando.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm in New Jersey right now, visiting my family, celebrating
my birthday week, and then I'm heading to Florida with
my daughter on Wednesday, right Wednesday night. Look up the
weather in Orlando, and again it's Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
But please look at the forecast in Orlando for when
I'm there later this week.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Do you mean the days where you're planning on being
in an amusement park all day? Everybody, take out your phone,
pull out the weather. It's nothing but lightning in clouds
and rain every day on there.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You know, with tropical weather, sometimes it could be an
afternoon shower and then the rest of the day is beautiful,
so you never know.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But every single day on Monday, it's like, you're bringing
it with you, yo, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And then I leave on Monday and you look at
Monday sun sunshine, Dude, it's you're ridiculous. Oh no, And dude,
my daughter never has gone to Disney World. And I'm
trying to make this my last h rack because she's
gonna be sixteen.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And she's not gonna want to hang with dad anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So I'm like, I'm really gonna make this a special
Daddy daughter weekkend it's'd be great. She shows me the forecast,
She's like, Dad, the weather's gonna suck. And I feel
like such an ass hat. Now, well, you can't predict that, hey,
and neither could the MLB, see what I'm saying, But
it happens, mother nature strikes. What's your story? Eight seven,
(13:47):
seven ninety nine on Fox. I can't tell you. I'm
not exaggerating. You'll see it later. If you look up
the weather in Orlando next week, every day showers, storms
every day except for the day I leave on money.
You don't have to be worried about getting wet on
Splash Mountain exactly, Like, how weak is that electrocuted?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And at least, there's only sixty percent of the days
that have thunder and lightning, so you've got that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
They'll say, you're just wet. I'm just not going to
be electrocuted.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, dB, how many times like I feel like as
a kid that overcast, not sure if the baseball game
is going to be played?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Was anxiety ridden as a little kid. You're a golfrid
missy feeling how many times have you been on the
fence like do I go? Do I not?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is the weather going to hold up? Like golfing is
a big thing because you're committing to hours on a course.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yes, yes, people plan trips in certain ways. I've thought
about this a lot, like if you go to the
mecca of all golf trips, is you go play Saint
Andrews in Scotland, the home of golf. That's what I
think anybody who loves the game would love to do.
And I've thought about this, like, what are the odds
that you get a perfect day in Scotland?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Scot I picture Scotland as overcast.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Permanently, yes, with winds blowing, which is the defense of
the golf course. But you're absolutely right, like you are
at the Mercy and I've thought about this, whether it
be golf or other stuff I've thought about, like you
were talking about Miami. We're all bound to have bad
vacations at some point, but you never ever going in
going into them, think it's going to be that one.
(15:15):
And that's the disappointment of it. So I was thinking
to myself, Gosh, we're gonna plan a vacation and it's
gonna stink at some point. Which is it going to Yeah,
it absolutely is, but whether it is a huge, huge deal,
especially when you're trying to play golf. But that's also
part of the like the genius of it. When I
mentioned st Andrews.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You're you're so right, because a lot of times people
chuck up weather to like, you know, like I rolly
small talk, Oh the weather, But weather, it does play
such a huge factor in your vacations.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
In sports. I'm gonna take it back to the only
game ever played in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, and the only game ever played. You remember last year?
I know, I remember you guys probably don't give a crap,
but you remember the last week of the season, the
Mets and Braves were like tied for first place, and
they had a three game series, and the whole thing
was washed out to do a double header. So like
it could cramp sports, it could cramp a golf weekend.
Imagine you get so little vacation, you're like, honey, we're
(16:09):
going up Ruba, Mexico, Florida, and you finally have a
chance away from the kids. You're a picture in romance,
sunny beaches and you're sitting in a lobby watching a downpour.
I think we've all been there one time, and if
not deep be pointed out, then you're due.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yes, yes, it's going to happen one time or another
for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Well, I felt so bad for everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I felt bad for the MLB, especially after we were
just singing its praises, how MLB had done no wrong
and they're back in a big way. Now it's getting
all this firefest stigma stuck to this game. And it
makes me think of another story. Rich you remember this story.
It's my sister's my girlfriend's sister and her husband went
(16:49):
to Chiachinitza and they went, No, not cheachin Itiza, Peru, Peru.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Uh, come on, help me out, Peru. Everybody.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Sam's a Peru expert.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Sam Peru Peru would you see in Peru, I think
you're good with you.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's a famous lands was a man from Peru. Uh
Machu Picchuh Okay, that is correct. I said, you need
to ask Mexico the Pokemon my kids. So they went
to Machu Pichu. They went all out and I don't know,
(17:26):
maybe they went to Lake Tita, but they were they
were going all out right, and they went all overboard
where they were so involved, and they, oh, we're gonna
go to Machu Pichu and everything, and dude, they went
and got to the top of the mountain on an overcast,
cloudy day. It was full on fog to the point
where they couldn't see their nose in front of their face.
(17:49):
They couldn't see anything. So you're going there to take
pictures and and sight see if there's any sort of
inclement weather or inclement weather however you want to say it,
and there's fog missed and rain, it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Could really put a damper on everything. So that's what
happened this weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Our buddy Mauser hit us up and he goes all
our friends from the West coast flew into Kentucky, for
the Derby.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
We had a whole day planned.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
They dressed to the nines and they were underneath cheapest
ponchaws all day. One of the derbies over the last
couple years was just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So that's misery. It's inevitable that it will happen time you.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Have to bust out a goofy ass poncho like that
at a game or a vacation. It's like mother nature
was not on your side. The gods were against you.
And that's exactly what happened when weather strikes, and it
did this week and at.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
The Bristol Motor Speedway. Waw waw.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And I would love to get this stat if we
could call our friends at the Elias Sports Bureau or
Danny g if you could look this up. Maybe Dan
Byer knows because he knows all eighty five thousand plus
showed up that first day. How many showed up the
second day because they when I saw some of the highlights,
it looked a little sparse. It didn't look as packed
(19:02):
as it did the day.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, they only have the list of attendance as ninety
one thousand, so I don't know if that's taken from
the previous day.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well that was the first day, eleven and then only
six thousand showed.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Up the next time. Yeah, they're not showing any listing
for Sunday's attendance.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
See, because it looked weak. It's so sad, dude, I
felt so bad about that they had.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
An off day.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Did they have an off day? Was that was scheduled
because it was something like that, like you have to
kind of plan for rain. Yeah, they do it at
the beginning of the year, so I don't think that
they were scheduled to play on Sunday. I will say this,
Cavino specifically with your I'm sure Orlando may not be
top three of the places you'd like to go, But
there are times when you go on a vacation that
you aren't necessarily looking forward to, it turns out better
than you expected. So that is the other side of
(19:46):
the coin from what we're talking about. So as you
go in thinking that the forecast is going to be bad,
you could have an entire break and it could make
the day that much better.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Sometimes it chocks you. I mean, not that we were
going to play let's look at the weather, but you
remember a couple of weeks ago, Kavino.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I was in New York with my family.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, leading up to that week, every day, including the
day when I was bringing my kids to City Field
to see the Mets for the first time, that whole
week said rain in New York, and somehow last minute
it just sort of went around. So you know, maybe
you get lucky, man. But again, we've all been there.
If I pray really, really hard, I could have fun
on the tea cups. Well on how we met your mother.
Ted prayed for rain and happened. Maybe you pray for
(20:24):
rain and it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
We'll see that.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
But yeah, no weather plays a factor. And you know,
it's an interesting thought. I wonder how many crucial games
were the result of a day they weren't supposed to happen.
And I only know this one obviously because I'm a
Mets fan. But you remember eighty six, Game six obviously
gets by Buckner, the famous Mookie Wilson ball goes under
Bill Buckner's legs. Of course, that was Game six. Everyone thinks, like,
(20:49):
is that when the Mets won the World Series? Now
that was Game six. Game seven was scheduled for the
next day and it was rained out that Game seven
was pushed back a couple of days. So the reality
is at that time, apparently the sentiment was all right, Well,
the Red Sox got a break because they get a
chance to sort of mentally reset Mets. Still one game seven,
(21:09):
But a lot of times, like a crucial game will
be postponed, then you don't realize, like what would have happened. Well,
props again to Eli why he hit two home runs
and the Braves beat the Reds four to two Bristol
Motor Speedway.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
We'll get the rest of your story. Do you run
it back?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Do you run it back again knowing that the attendance
was there, it was just some missteps. You got to
run that back, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I think you do.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I thought the potential was there. I thought it looked great.
I thought it was amazing how they built that field
just rainage system.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, yeah, I know they got to be better prepared there.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
But you know, we talked about how even the Savannah
Bananas have pushed the entertainment factor up for the MLB.
The fact that they were able to pull a crowd
of eighty five thousand plus, that's insane.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
How did they not?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, no doubt, I will maybe a big learning lesson Rich.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's like rain when you're going to Disney World.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And then Animal Kingdom, then MGM Hollywood Studios, then Epcot and.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Just rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, go away.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's like rain when you're going to Bristol Motors Speedway
with eighty five thousand other people and it ruins the
whole time. Think all the little kiddies rich so pumped
to get their little special speedway jerseys, and they're little
hot dogs, they're all excited, and they had to sit.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
There in the rain for hours. Bro And again, is
it all Baseball's fault?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, But if we got to sing its praises all
the time, we have to point out the fact that
they were unprepared for this and hopefully a learning less
because it looked dope.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
But this is something we call when weather strikes. But
we have more to get to. You know, when weather
struck in the world of football.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Luckily.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I think football lucked out the one super Bowl that
was outdoors in a cold weather climate recently. Remember the
one Super Bowl in New York at MetLife. Yeah, they
lucked out that that.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It was okay. That could have been a disaster.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Do you remember the Super Bowl in Dallas, Texas where,
of course it's indoors, but it snowed that week and
everyone in the town was unprepared, meaning all the guests, all.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
The fans, the media.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
We were trying to get around Dallas was like an
ice storm. And it was an ice storm. People were
slipping and falling. Dude, No one knows how to drive.
They didn't have the trucks with the the salt. It
was a disaster. Well, do you guys also remember it
was the one Super Bowl championship that Peyton Manning won
with the Colts taking on the Bears, and that was
in Miami and that was a wet one.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah, that was a wet one.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Was that where prints also, yeah, performed, So we had
rain for the halftime show, rain for the game.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It is an okay. Game.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That made it cool.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Thank you made it cool in the rain?
Speaker 2 (25:03):
Well, maybe happy for sure, but that doesn't mean it's
always great. Yeah, we're live from the Fox Sports Radio
studio the bi Coastal Covino and Rich.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
We're on the streets.
Speaker 2 (25:12):
By the ways, we're gonna be filling in a lot
for the Dan Patrick Show next week. Happy to be here,
so it's no longer run in the streets. The bus
just texted us Covino Rich in for Dan Patrick next
week Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. So plan accordingly, crew, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday.
Instead of the hat trick, that's for that's a haul.
So we got the DP hall next week. So Monday, Tuesday,
(25:35):
Wednesday and then back on Friday. So next week, join
us early in the morning.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
How about this. So happy to be here with you today.
I hope you had a nice weekend.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And now we go to your phone calls again when
weather strikes eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at
Covino and Rich, super producer Danny g who we got.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Let's start with Taylor in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, what's up, Taylor?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
What's up? Man? Hey?
Speaker 6 (25:58):
I just wanted to share this story that I had.
Me and my wife, we planned our wedding for a
few months, and it was in Myrtle Beach and we
it was coming up right to our wedding and we
saw a hurricane coming into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. And
the hurricane's name was Matthew. And my wife's mother father's
(26:23):
name was Matthew. And I'm like, is Mother Nature trying
to tell me something here?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Like yeah, stay away?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
And so my wife was calling our wedding planner and like,
is there anything? Are we all good still for our date?
And it's like, oh, we're just having a hurricane, but
you're all.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Good, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Let me tell you, we've all convinced ourselves a lot
of times the misfortune happens. What do we like to say, Oh,
it's good luck. It's a great way to brainwash yourself.
Rain on your wedding day, bird, poops on your head.
Oh those are all good luck things, just twisted.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Could you know you were the poop off your head?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Good luck? Where do you want to go? Let's say
go mic In Indy, Yes, sir, Indy, what's up? Mike?
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Hey, guys, how's it going?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We're good man, and baseball's been doing all the right things,
but they got some bad luck this past weekend. I
mean that Bristol Motor Speedway thing. You know how it
is like drainage of the field. Unless it's a professional field,
it was doomed.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
Yeah. Yeah, I got a great story for you. Last
year at in it was raining at start time, but
my buddy had a camper. He scored a spot right
outside the gate entrance gate, so we all hung out
there under the canopy while it was raining. We all
grilled out, drank beer all day. Turned out to be
(27:34):
the greatest rain delay of all time.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So I don't remember the full story, and thank you
man again. There's a lot of memorable moments thanks to
the rain. In fact, you know, one of the guys
we're going to talk about later, Robin Ventura, would always
put on a show. Remember he did the Mike Piazza
thing in the rain and the rain delays and all
that stuff. Every Bloomberg, every Bloopers video from the eighties
showed a players sliding on the tarp. Yeah no, for real,
(28:02):
But wasn't the story from the ninety nine Woodstock all
the mud and all that stuff having to do with
the rain that was involved there, Like remember they were
throwing so much mud and.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It was mudding that people thought it was mud that
they were sliding in.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
And then people thought it was mud they sliding in,
and then they ran out of water. Like you know,
the whole weather was the weather was. It made that
whole experience even more of a disaster.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, I want to take one more call.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, Steven Florida says he has Disney World advice for you, Cove.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh what's up, buddy?
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Man?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
I've been living in Florida for a long time, But
the best thing that can happen is to have some
rain when you and your daughter get to Disney, Because
what you do is you buy those two dollars ponchos,
put them on, have a bag that's got a couple
of tonnels, and if it's not pouring, the whole place
empties out and you get to go run through all
(29:00):
the rides in lickety split time. My daughter and I
did it. She was nine, and we made nine rides
inside of an hour and fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up, and I
appreciate you and thank you so much, But you know,
what Steve, the best dad in the world, did me.
I went and bought all those lightning passes already, and
they're not cheap. So what happens if that is the case?
I thought all about this, man, you got you spent
five hundred bucks to cut a line that's not existing.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Lightning and thunder passes.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Now, yeah, exactly. I bought the scattered shower passes by
the stake. Hell oh, thank you man. We'll keep you
posted on that.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
But I hope everybody had a decent time on the
next day, even though I didn't have any buns, and
I know having no buns is sad. So got soggy buns.
That's all you got buns? The only one that wants
us here, Joey Chestnut, all right, you had soggy buns
last week, Rich when you were a danger girl. Aga
(30:01):
Universal saudios, Saggi buns. I do want to talk about
this a bunch. We're gonna get to today. I want
to after we go to DV front update. Today's an
anniversary of one of the most legendary moments in the
last fifty years of baseball, and we'll get to it
has to do with a guy you mentioned Robin Ventura,
but we'll get to that after DB's update.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
What's going on? Dan Byer?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Hey, Dan, I'm wondering if that history happened in a
ballpark that I was familiar with. I'm curious. I'm curious.
We shall see. I don't got a lot of baseball
to tell you about, but a bunch of stuff in football,
including in the college game. Preseason coaches polls out the
Texas Longhorns are the preseason number one squad that'll open
the season at number two. Ohio State, the defending national champions,
(30:47):
will host the Longhorns on Saturday, August thirtieth. Rest of
the top five is Penn State at three, Georgia at four,
and Notre Dame in at number five. The Indianapolis Colts
listed both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson as first team
quarterbacks on their depth chart, saying Daniel Jones or Anthony
richards Sim Jaguars released a depth chart that had a
bit of a twist to it. Travis Hunter second team corner,
(31:11):
first team wide receiver for the second overall pick from Colorado.
His teammate at Colorado, Sudor Sanders, return to practice today
for the Browns after missing time with his sore shoulder,
but fellow rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel sat out practice because
of tightness in his hamstring. Bet Online says the Bills
right now are the new favorite at five to one
to win Super Bowl sixty. Speaking of the Bills, running
(31:31):
back James Cook remains a hold in as he wants
a new contract. The twenty twenty six men's and women's
NCAA basketball tournaments will remain at sixty eight teams. Talks
still going on to possibly expand in twenty twenty seven,
and the Spurs and guard d'aron Fox agreed to a
four year max extension were two hundred and twenty nine
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Guys. Back to you, the big n buyer.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I don't have much baseball to talk about either, because
I don't know what the hell the Yankees are playing.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I don't know what you call that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I've never seen more mental mistakes by one team. I
never saw an entire team catch the yips at the
same time. But the mental errors have been disgusting, to
say the least. And I've never seen anything like what
happened this past weekend when every new acquisition was part
of the blunder when they lost thirteen to twelve. Does
(32:20):
everyone know that because you might just know Kevinol more
so because you're a Yankees fan. Of the people the
Yankees got at the trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Every one of those newly acquired players gave up a
home run immediately or made a blunder in the field
like it was. It was wild to think, like all
these guys just got the yips putting on the pinch track.
He's got four new acquisitions. Bird let up a grand slam.
Then Bednar comes in, this champion, lets up a two
run home run. Then Doval lets up the game getting hit,
(32:47):
and then Caballiro comes charging in for the play at
home and the ball gets by him and they lose
the game.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Man, they lost. They got swept by Miami.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
It was the most atrocious thing I'd ever seen, well
horrible as thinking. By the way, Dan Buyer brought up
some QB stuff in the NFL Indianapolis still making it
very unclear is it Daniel Jones or Richardson. You see
the graphic dB that ESPN posted the quarterback tracker of
the Browns, how they showed the production of all four
(33:17):
guys so far, is it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Like the Domino's Pizza Pizza tracker? Similar?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Similar to the pizza tracker, but as far as like attempts.
Gabriel has the most attempts throughout the nine practices they've
gone through, combining practices combined, and right now, shard Or
Sanders has the most productive stats.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
But you talk about practice stats.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Well, you're also he hasn't gone against the ones. You know,
he's the only quarterback that, up to a certain point
end practice against the first team defense. So I don't
want to say that I would hope, but the numbers
are a little bit misleading.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I mean, I could be wrong. I'm not following the
Browns as close as other teams. But in history, there's
always been a sentiment of like, all right, veteran, rookie,
young guy, is he ready this? I don't know if
we've ever seen something where there's so many potential people
that could get the job. It's usually like is the
(34:12):
veteran gonna hold the place until the rookie's ready?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Or is the new guy?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Is it a quarterback battle between a newly traded guy
and a veteran. This is you're talking about two drafted quarterbacks,
one Super Bowl winner who's way past his prime but
still effective, and then throwing Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Especially in a league where a lot of teams are
only having two active quarterbacks, the emergency quarterback now plays in.
But when you're looking at rosters, here's the other crazy thing.
You actually kind of have another team doing it with
the Giants because you have Wilson and Winston. Yeah, drafted
Jackson Dart, but Tommy DeVito is still there. Yeah, so yeah,
it's not common. You're right about that, dp ME.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I mean, this is just speculation. But you know how
the NFL, at some point we realize we'll go to
eighteen games. There's a sentiment that if they go to
eighteen games and there's roster manipulations, that team will eventually
carry one additional quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I've heard.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I've heard people speculate that that would probably if you're
playing eighteen games two by weeks, it's a little longer.
The idea of three quarterbacks moving forward in the future. Yeah,
it doesn't sound crazy.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
And I think that the NFL rules really prohibited quarterback development,
and so when you have sixty some quarterbacks play, you
really didn't do a good job of protecting that position
when you're you only have so many spots, and so
they've changed the rules over the last couple of years,
at least with practice squad and other spots to allow
that position to get more attention.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
So what you're saying is the Giants and the Browns
are just ahead of the trend. Yeah, essentially you get
a look at it or the bottom of the barrel
or ahead of the trend.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Who knows. I know we got a break.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
But around the room real quick, do you think thumbs
up or down? Will all four of those quarterbacks take
a snap in a regular season game this year?
Speaker 7 (35:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
No, I don't think. Now you don't think all four.
I'm going to say, yes, I feel like something will have.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
They had five or six one, you know, a season
or two ago, like in the same season. They're struggling,
They're gonna try anything. All right, we got more Cavin
on Ritch. We are doing it live from the Fox
Sports Radio more next right here, it's Monday.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
All right? Oh no, we are rocking like a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Covino and Rich with Danny g Iowa, Sam dan Byer
spots on the videos.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time
for our TIRACT play of the day with his second
home run of the day. We've been talking about it
rich this whole hour at the Speedway classic. Eli White
finally put the rain soaked.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Baby to bed, brings it. Eli smashes another one back
to the wall. This one flies. How about some more.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Horsepower from Eli White.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
It's a homer fire up the pace car. It's more
two braids.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Well, that was courtesy of the Brads Radio Network and
that was our TIRAQ Play of the day. And by
the way, Eli White, remember that. That'll be the answer
to a trivia question, who like what big leaguer at
home runs in the state of Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
The answer is the first. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be happy. Nolan
Ryan Day, We're going to talk about that in a minute.
Plus last one standing lots to get too on the show.
But we've been talking about this Speedway Classic and how
(37:26):
mother nature didn't want to didn't want to help the situation.
And it happens, dude, It happens in sports, it happens
in life. You know, mother nature doesn't always cooperate.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And I think the lesson is.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Being able to roll the punches, like you know, make
your best, make the best you can out of it,
like that one guy said, Hey, listen, we went under
a ten tailgated, had food and drink, like you know,
you just got to make the best of it, and
you know it's there's nothing you could do right, So
like star, I need.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
To laugh back on but in the moment, it sucks.
Oh yeah, I know exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Talking about Danny g and I were just saying, if
you've been up to the Bay area in San Francisco.
I remember taking a friend up there and they just
wanted to pitch with them and their wife in front
of the Golden Gate Bridge. But some days it is
just clouds and fog layer in front of the bridge.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Like one big Charlie Hayes y yeah, and then one
big haze.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
On the central coast. Moro Bay is like a romantic
getaway spot. Take your significant other for the weekend and
Moro Rock three stacks in a rock really famous. There's
weekends where you don't see the rock at all, just fog,
and so some people think it's not even there.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
So I'll say this again because we've been talking so
high on baseball. The Field of Dreams game amazing and
again that's under construction right now. So they went and
did the what the Rick wood Field game, that East
West Classic that was really great in Birmingham, Alabama. This
(38:51):
one the intention was fantastic, like it was looking so promising,
eighty five thousand plus, but again the downpour got way.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
We'll wrap it up with one more phone call. Who
do we got, dannyg.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
Let's go to some usually beautiful weather in Honolulu, Butch's but.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
Hey guys, hey, hey, so.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Two stories.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
I'll make a short.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
One is a good one.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
At Alola Stadium about three or four years ago in Honolulu,
Guns and Roses was playing and when they started playing
November rain it was raining.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That's totty cool.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I mean, listen, sometimes if you're okay with the weather
being a little suspect, sometimes it makes for a memorable moment.
Can you know's right in the moment you might be like,
but looking back, I saw Aerosmith at what's that outdoor
places a p and c art in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
It was pouring and he was singing.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Dream On in the rain, and looking back, I'm like,
that was probably one of the coolest moments I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
So you got to just accept it.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
My other weather story is a.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Cruise from Texas goes to be down to make go.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
To the golf.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Hurricane. Five days on the ship only got off once
and spent like twelve hundred dollars on booze.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, it happens, man, We've all been there, and that's
you can wrap it up with that. We've all been
on a vacation. We've all had plans to go to
a big game Kentucky Derby, a golf event, US Open, Tennis.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
You plan on going somewhere. Weather doesn't cooperate. It happens.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Baseball, unfortunately, was the sucker this weekend that didn't plan accordingly.
And you know, fields drained differently based on how official
they are. Danny out here in the valley looking around,
there's fields that drained perfectly because they put money into it,
and then there's others where if it rains no one's
playing for a week, so it's all about the drainage.
So tiling, tiling, tiling, Iowa, Sam, you all about the Benjamins, bro. Yeah,
(40:46):
So next hour we talk Luca last one Standing, and
we got to celebrate Nolan Ryan Day.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Next.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
If you don't know what that is, well it's the
anniversary nineteen ninety three. On this day, someone took a
knuckle sandwich and that guy was Robin Ventura at the
hands of a forty six year old Nolan Ryan, which,
by the way, looking back, I thought forty six he
was ancient, and now I'm like, no, not so much.

over promised episode one oh three, very controversial episod, so
check it out on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. But
it's good to be back. Had a nice weekend. It's
good to be here in Jersey, gaining lots of weight,
eating lots of pizza and let's die. Like I said,
if you eat too much, you won't be able to
(03:12):
fit into your Sydney Sweeney jeans you just got, I know,
and they're so good, They're so genetically sound.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
For you, they're so great.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
That is me racist.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
That is that is the number one story that I
don't know why it bothers me so much. I just
feel like it's the last brain cell of people that
have a problem with Sidney Sweeney and her jeens, like
as if genetics are a bad thing, like you're telling
me Lebron James doesn't have good genetics. DK Metcalf Show, Hey, Otani,
Brad Pitt, you see Stamos over the weekend? Yeah, come on, serious, dude,
(03:45):
I feel a little guilty now I'm questioning should I
ever think she's hot again? Because if not, people are
gonna say I'm a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
It's so weird. It's terrible, and you know what.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
We talk about that a little more on over promised
episode one oh three Fox Sports Radios YouTube pitch. We
bought those people in the same moronic category as those
that don't think Kitling Clark is the face of the WNBA.
So you'll hear all about it again on our pod.
It was a good one, yeah, buddy for free bonus pod.
Enjoy it, Send it to some friends and let's keep
(04:14):
everybody in line. Sidney Sweeney's hot period, Now you know
what else is hot? Or as we've been saying over
and over again, and in fact, this is why we
have to talk about it now on Cavino and Rich
because when we filled in for Colin, we let off
Friday show talking about baseballs popping. In fact, if we
were doing a drinking game on Friday, starting the weekend early,
(04:38):
we would have had a drink or do a shot
at least seventy five times we said baseball's popping. At
least seventy five times in the first two hours.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
Baseball's popping, Baseball's popping.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
We've been abusing, leaning into that baseball's doing everything right.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Treat Deadline.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
You got the Bristol Motor Speedway game, the SuperStar's Brother
mar kidding, we.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Were pop swinging, swinging, pun intended from the from.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
The balls of Major League Baseball. There you go from
the Major League base balls, and when they're doing everything right,
we're cheering.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
But when you do something wrong.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
We also have to be consistent and bring it up
because it seems like something that was supposed to be
awesome just wasn't And is it all Major League Baseball's fault. Yes,
kind of because they weren't prepared. But we can't let
mother nature off the hook. I mean the Bristol Motor
Speedway game, Danny. I remember when you first sent me
the overhead of what it looked like. I'm like, man,
(05:38):
they fit a baseball field on that racetrack, like you knows,
almost one hundred thousand people.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Yeah, very cool.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It looked no got plus side. You have to remember
the reasoning, right, they're trying to do special events.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
They did the field, the Dreams Game.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They'd done a few different games to bring more fun
to the MLB. So this year they're doing the Bristol
Motor Speedway, the first ever Major League Baseball game in
the state of Tennessee. So everybody's all, yeah, a game
of baseball, not horseshoes, game of baseball in the state
of Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Pit Bulls worldwide was there helping to open it up.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Safe, dude, not only pitbull eighty five thousand plus at
the Bristol Motor Speedway. And it was really cool how
they did it. But again, it was an unconventional field.
It wasn't meant for proper drainage. They weren't expecting this
much rain, and it rained and it rained and it delayed.
And I don't know about you guys, but I was
(06:40):
watching and I felt so embarrassed and so sad for
the fan. I felt embarrassed for MLB, even though it
wasn't their fault, but it was like this big event
and then rain was ruined. It's like a rain on
your wedding day, isn't it ironic, don't you think? And
I'm like, I feel so bad and all the fans
that went there with their kids and families for the
first time ever, and it's raining and it's delayed in
(07:03):
it starts and it delays again. The field's not draining,
and the glisten they kept talking about the field is glistening.
And I was listening and I was embarrassed for the
whole thing. It felt so bad. And then no, and
then and then they were able to pick up the
game the next day, so it's already sort of a fail.
But again, mother nature, the deflated feeling of taking your
(07:26):
family there.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Yeah, and all the promotion that was involved in this
game to then cancel it.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
And I understood they had to, but they canceled the
game and everyone has to go home with their umbrellas,
all sogging, wet and mopi and probably consoling their kids
because they maybe couldn't make it back.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
The next day.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Well, then we saw on social media some fans complaining
because they ran out of hot dog buns right away,
so they were serving hot dogs without the buns. Asked
Joey Chestnut about that, and then what was the other complaint?
Rich O nachos without.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Cheout the cheese with cheese, They had cereal without the milks,
cam without the burger, peanut butter, no jelly like so
then they start getting criticized for not being prepared. And
when you start talking about no buns, I'm out because
Casino and rich love puns, that is true. And they
start comparing it to the Fire Festival, which was the
(08:21):
failed music festival where they were like, remember the gourmet
food was like a cheese sandwich. Then they were sleeping
intents just within the show. We were all tuned in
to watch it. Did you watch it the next day?
Because I didn't. I did not, to be honest, That's
what I'm saying. So how many people out of the
eighty five thousand that were there, all excited with their
(08:44):
cotton candy, and they're a hot dog in their hand.
At least I hope that was a hot dog. How
many even think went back the next day? Was it
as packed?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
From the footage I saw? It didn't look it. I mean,
I think overall was a great idea.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
It was sometimes weather sometimes whether you're taking it like,
all right, how many times have you had a friend
or you know, your buddy and his wife get married
and they're taking a big chance. They're like, well, cocktail
hours outdoors, and I mean, if it rains, we'll try
to squeeze everyone in the little reception area, but we're
crossing our fingers. Those scenarios go wrong sometimes, and so
(09:21):
I hope they don't, but they do, they do, And
we call this when weather strikes because it ruined what
was supposed to be a really big weekend for the
MLB and all the fans in Tennessee that went to
see the game Bristol Motor Speedway.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
And again, is it all the MLB's fault.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
No, But they weren't prepared properly, so therefore yes, but
you can't control mother nature, and it really struck down.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
In a big way. So was it a wedding, was
it a big party?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Was it something that was special to you that was
ruined because of the weather, Maybe a vacation Because I
got a story. I know Rich has a story, and
we open it up to everybody at eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. Anyone that has, you know, any
outdoor event, has has in their life taken the risk
of like, man, I hope it doesn't rain that day.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
I mean, that's that's that's normalcy.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
I also think that at least a good thing if
you want to take a positive out of it, is
again it highlights the fact that hot dog buns are
made in eight and hot dog packages by some companies
are ten. Yes, and so when you see when you
see the no buns hot dog, it kind of brings
this topic back to the forefront on why some major
(10:35):
corporations cannot just make packages of eight unacceptable.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I agree with it.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It's one of the biggest unspoken schemes it is in life,
and people don't realize that no scrubs actually was no buns,
but then they changed it to scrubs later on.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
But you didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Cavino I don't want no buns.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yes, that's little known music fact, man, you know, so
no buns, bad weather, you know, you know I remember
back in the day. Now, granted it wasn't my real
only reason to go there, but my wife and I
went with another couple.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
We were friends with. Ooh, swinger Action. I'm just keeping
his sports really Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
We went with another couple for a little double date
weekend down to South Beach, and part of the agenda
was to see Lebron James play for the Miami Heat
when he was in his primo days, right when the
Heat was winning and you know it was you know,
Dwayne Wade bosh Lebron, and I said, you know what,
(11:35):
why don't we go see a Miami Heat game?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
And then we're in South Beach for the whole weekend.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
When I tell you, that whole weekend, other than the
two hours I was in the arena watching Lebron James,
it was like a torrential downpour, hurricane to the point
where I feel like my wife and I just sat
in like the hotel lobby for three days just having cocktails.
Like weather can ruin a trip. How many time have
you looked at your weather app. When you're headed to
(12:03):
an island or something, you're like, oh, dude, I want
you to play along at home. In fact, everybody, if
you're in the car, you're on the iHeartRadio app. Wherever
you are pullover to the side, or at your next
stop light, or when you get home, pull over, pull
out your phone. Pull out your phone right now, Rich
Danny dB dan Byer on the update Sam.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Every pull out their phone. Yeah, I'm heading to Orlando.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I'm in New Jersey right now, visiting my family, celebrating
my birthday week, and then I'm heading to Florida with
my daughter on Wednesday, right Wednesday night. Look up the
weather in Orlando, and again it's Florida.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
I get it.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
But please look at the forecast in Orlando for when
I'm there later this week.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Do you mean the days where you're planning on being
in an amusement park all day? Everybody, take out your phone,
pull out the weather. It's nothing but lightning in clouds
and rain every day on there.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
And I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
You know, with tropical weather, sometimes it could be an
afternoon shower and then the rest of the day is beautiful,
so you never know.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But every single day on Monday, it's like, you're bringing
it with you, yo, dude.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
And then I leave on Monday and you look at
Monday sun sunshine, Dude, it's you're ridiculous. Oh no, And dude,
my daughter never has gone to Disney World. And I'm
trying to make this my last h rack because she's
gonna be sixteen.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
And she's not gonna want to hang with dad anymore.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
So I'm like, I'm really gonna make this a special
Daddy daughter weekkend it's'd be great. She shows me the forecast,
She's like, Dad, the weather's gonna suck. And I feel
like such an ass hat. Now, well, you can't predict that, hey,
and neither could the MLB, see what I'm saying, But
it happens, mother nature strikes. What's your story? Eight seven,
(13:47):
seven ninety nine on Fox. I can't tell you. I'm
not exaggerating. You'll see it later. If you look up
the weather in Orlando next week, every day showers, storms
every day except for the day I leave on money.
You don't have to be worried about getting wet on
Splash Mountain exactly, Like, how weak is that electrocuted?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (14:06):
And at least, there's only sixty percent of the days
that have thunder and lightning, so you've got that.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
They'll say, you're just wet. I'm just not going to
be electrocuted.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Yeah, dB, how many times like I feel like as
a kid that overcast, not sure if the baseball game
is going to be played?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
Was anxiety ridden as a little kid. You're a golfrid
missy feeling how many times have you been on the
fence like do I go? Do I not?
Speaker 2 (14:29):
Is the weather going to hold up? Like golfing is
a big thing because you're committing to hours on a course.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
Yes, yes, people plan trips in certain ways. I've thought
about this a lot, like if you go to the
mecca of all golf trips, is you go play Saint
Andrews in Scotland, the home of golf. That's what I
think anybody who loves the game would love to do.
And I've thought about this, like, what are the odds
that you get a perfect day in Scotland?
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Scot I picture Scotland as overcast.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Permanently, yes, with winds blowing, which is the defense of
the golf course. But you're absolutely right, like you are
at the Mercy and I've thought about this, whether it
be golf or other stuff I've thought about, like you
were talking about Miami. We're all bound to have bad
vacations at some point, but you never ever going in
going into them, think it's going to be that one.
(15:15):
And that's the disappointment of it. So I was thinking
to myself, Gosh, we're gonna plan a vacation and it's
gonna stink at some point. Which is it going to Yeah,
it absolutely is, but whether it is a huge, huge deal,
especially when you're trying to play golf. But that's also
part of the like the genius of it. When I
mentioned st Andrews.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
You're you're so right, because a lot of times people
chuck up weather to like, you know, like I rolly
small talk, Oh the weather, But weather, it does play
such a huge factor in your vacations.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
In sports. I'm gonna take it back to the only
game ever played in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Yeah, and the only game ever played. You remember last year?
I know, I remember you guys probably don't give a crap,
but you remember the last week of the season, the
Mets and Braves were like tied for first place, and
they had a three game series, and the whole thing
was washed out to do a double header. So like
it could cramp sports, it could cramp a golf weekend.
Imagine you get so little vacation, you're like, honey, we're
(16:09):
going up Ruba, Mexico, Florida, and you finally have a
chance away from the kids. You're a picture in romance,
sunny beaches and you're sitting in a lobby watching a downpour.
I think we've all been there one time, and if
not deep be pointed out, then you're due.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
Yes, yes, it's going to happen one time or another
for sure.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Well, I felt so bad for everybody.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I felt bad for the MLB, especially after we were
just singing its praises, how MLB had done no wrong
and they're back in a big way. Now it's getting
all this firefest stigma stuck to this game. And it
makes me think of another story. Rich you remember this story.
It's my sister's my girlfriend's sister and her husband went
(16:49):
to Chiachinitza and they went, No, not cheachin Itiza, Peru, Peru.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Uh, come on, help me out, Peru. Everybody.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Sam's a Peru expert.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Sam Peru Peru would you see in Peru, I think
you're good with you.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
I don't think. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
It's a famous lands was a man from Peru. Uh
Machu Picchuh Okay, that is correct. I said, you need
to ask Mexico the Pokemon my kids. So they went
to Machu Pichu. They went all out and I don't know,
(17:26):
maybe they went to Lake Tita, but they were they
were going all out right, and they went all overboard
where they were so involved, and they, oh, we're gonna
go to Machu Pichu and everything, and dude, they went
and got to the top of the mountain on an overcast,
cloudy day. It was full on fog to the point
where they couldn't see their nose in front of their face.
(17:49):
They couldn't see anything. So you're going there to take
pictures and and sight see if there's any sort of
inclement weather or inclement weather however you want to say it,
and there's fog missed and rain, it.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Could really put a damper on everything. So that's what
happened this weekend.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Our buddy Mauser hit us up and he goes all
our friends from the West coast flew into Kentucky, for
the Derby.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
We had a whole day planned.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
They dressed to the nines and they were underneath cheapest
ponchaws all day. One of the derbies over the last
couple years was just disgusting.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
So that's misery. It's inevitable that it will happen time you.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
Have to bust out a goofy ass poncho like that
at a game or a vacation. It's like mother nature
was not on your side. The gods were against you.
And that's exactly what happened when weather strikes, and it
did this week and at.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
The Bristol Motor Speedway. Waw waw.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
And I would love to get this stat if we
could call our friends at the Elias Sports Bureau or
Danny g if you could look this up. Maybe Dan
Byer knows because he knows all eighty five thousand plus
showed up that first day. How many showed up the
second day because they when I saw some of the highlights,
it looked a little sparse. It didn't look as packed
(19:02):
as it did the day.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, they only have the list of attendance as ninety
one thousand, so I don't know if that's taken from
the previous day.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
Well that was the first day, eleven and then only
six thousand showed.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Up the next time. Yeah, they're not showing any listing
for Sunday's attendance.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
See, because it looked weak. It's so sad, dude, I
felt so bad about that they had.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
An off day.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
Did they have an off day? Was that was scheduled
because it was something like that, like you have to
kind of plan for rain. Yeah, they do it at
the beginning of the year, so I don't think that
they were scheduled to play on Sunday. I will say this,
Cavino specifically with your I'm sure Orlando may not be
top three of the places you'd like to go, But
there are times when you go on a vacation that
you aren't necessarily looking forward to, it turns out better
than you expected. So that is the other side of
(19:46):
the coin from what we're talking about. So as you
go in thinking that the forecast is going to be bad,
you could have an entire break and it could make
the day that much better.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Sometimes it chocks you. I mean, not that we were
going to play let's look at the weather, but you
remember a couple of weeks ago, Kavino.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
I was in New York with my family.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, leading up to that week, every day, including the
day when I was bringing my kids to City Field
to see the Mets for the first time, that whole
week said rain in New York, and somehow last minute
it just sort of went around. So you know, maybe
you get lucky, man. But again, we've all been there.
If I pray really, really hard, I could have fun
on the tea cups. Well on how we met your mother.
Ted prayed for rain and happened. Maybe you pray for
(20:24):
rain and it doesn't happen.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
We'll see that.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
But yeah, no weather plays a factor. And you know,
it's an interesting thought. I wonder how many crucial games
were the result of a day they weren't supposed to happen.
And I only know this one obviously because I'm a
Mets fan. But you remember eighty six, Game six obviously
gets by Buckner, the famous Mookie Wilson ball goes under
Bill Buckner's legs. Of course, that was Game six. Everyone thinks, like,
(20:49):
is that when the Mets won the World Series? Now
that was Game six. Game seven was scheduled for the
next day and it was rained out that Game seven
was pushed back a couple of days. So the reality
is at that time, apparently the sentiment was all right, Well,
the Red Sox got a break because they get a
chance to sort of mentally reset Mets. Still one game seven,
(21:09):
But a lot of times, like a crucial game will
be postponed, then you don't realize, like what would have happened. Well,
props again to Eli why he hit two home runs
and the Braves beat the Reds four to two Bristol
Motor Speedway.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
We'll get the rest of your story. Do you run
it back?
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Do you run it back again knowing that the attendance
was there, it was just some missteps. You got to
run that back, right, Yeah?
Speaker 1 (21:31):
I think you do.
Speaker 3 (21:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I thought the potential was there. I thought it looked great.
I thought it was amazing how they built that field
just rainage system.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, yeah, I know they got to be better prepared there.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
But you know, we talked about how even the Savannah
Bananas have pushed the entertainment factor up for the MLB.
The fact that they were able to pull a crowd
of eighty five thousand plus, that's insane.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
How did they not?
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Yeah, no doubt, I will maybe a big learning lesson Rich.
That's Cavino to Life from Jersey Today. I'm on the
West coast, so covene on Rich, we'll take it all
your feedback. I see the phones are hot, so let's

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It's like rain when you're going to Disney World.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
And then Animal Kingdom, then MGM Hollywood Studios, then Epcot and.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Just rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, go away.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
It's like rain when you're going to Bristol Motors Speedway
with eighty five thousand other people and it ruins the
whole time. Think all the little kiddies rich so pumped
to get their little special speedway jerseys, and they're little
hot dogs, they're all excited, and they had to sit.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
There in the rain for hours. Bro And again, is
it all Baseball's fault?
Speaker 2 (23:52):
No, But if we got to sing its praises all
the time, we have to point out the fact that
they were unprepared for this and hopefully a learning less
because it looked dope.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
But this is something we call when weather strikes. But
we have more to get to. You know, when weather
struck in the world of football.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
Luckily.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
I think football lucked out the one super Bowl that
was outdoors in a cold weather climate recently. Remember the
one Super Bowl in New York at MetLife. Yeah, they
lucked out that that.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
It was okay. That could have been a disaster.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Do you remember the Super Bowl in Dallas, Texas where,
of course it's indoors, but it snowed that week and
everyone in the town was unprepared, meaning all the guests, all.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
The fans, the media.
Speaker 2 (24:34):
We were trying to get around Dallas was like an
ice storm. And it was an ice storm. People were
slipping and falling. Dude, No one knows how to drive.
They didn't have the trucks with the the salt. It
was a disaster. Well, do you guys also remember it
was the one Super Bowl championship that Peyton Manning won
with the Colts taking on the Bears, and that was
in Miami and that was a wet one.
Speaker 3 (24:53):
Yeah, that was a wet one.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
Was that where prints also, yeah, performed, So we had
rain for the halftime show, rain for the game.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
It is an okay. Game.
Speaker 1 (25:01):
That made it cool.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Thank you made it cool in the rain?

always great. Yeah, we're live from the Fox Sports Radio

I hope you had a nice weekend.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
And now we go to your phone calls again when
weather strikes eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox at
Covino and Rich, super producer Danny g who we got.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Let's start with Taylor in Illinois.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Yeah, what's up, Taylor?
Speaker 6 (25:55):
Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
What's up? Man? Hey?
Speaker 6 (25:58):
I just wanted to share this story that I had.
Me and my wife, we planned our wedding for a
few months, and it was in Myrtle Beach and we
it was coming up right to our wedding and we
saw a hurricane coming into Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. And
the hurricane's name was Matthew. And my wife's mother father's
(26:23):
name was Matthew. And I'm like, is Mother Nature trying
to tell me something here?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
Like yeah, stay away?
Speaker 6 (26:30):
And so my wife was calling our wedding planner and like,
is there anything? Are we all good still for our date?
And it's like, oh, we're just having a hurricane, but
you're all.
Speaker 7 (26:39):
Good, dude.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Let me tell you, we've all convinced ourselves a lot
of times the misfortune happens. What do we like to say, Oh,
it's good luck. It's a great way to brainwash yourself.
Rain on your wedding day, bird, poops on your head.
Oh those are all good luck things, just twisted.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
Could you know you were the poop off your head?
Speaker 1 (26:54):
Good luck? Where do you want to go? Let's say
go mic In Indy, Yes, sir, Indy, what's up? Mike?
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Hey, guys, how's it going?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
We're good man, and baseball's been doing all the right things,
but they got some bad luck this past weekend. I
mean that Bristol Motor Speedway thing. You know how it
is like drainage of the field. Unless it's a professional field,
it was doomed.
Speaker 7 (27:14):
Yeah. Yeah, I got a great story for you. Last
year at in it was raining at start time, but
my buddy had a camper. He scored a spot right
outside the gate entrance gate, so we all hung out
there under the canopy while it was raining. We all
grilled out, drank beer all day. Turned out to be
(27:34):
the greatest rain delay of all time.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
Nice.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
So I don't remember the full story, and thank you
man again. There's a lot of memorable moments thanks to
the rain. In fact, you know, one of the guys
we're going to talk about later, Robin Ventura, would always
put on a show. Remember he did the Mike Piazza
thing in the rain and the rain delays and all
that stuff. Every Bloomberg, every Bloopers video from the eighties
showed a players sliding on the tarp. Yeah no, for real,
(28:02):
But wasn't the story from the ninety nine Woodstock all
the mud and all that stuff having to do with
the rain that was involved there, Like remember they were
throwing so much mud and.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
It was mudding that people thought it was mud that
they were sliding in.
Speaker 2 (28:17):
And then people thought it was mud they sliding in,
and then they ran out of water. Like you know,
the whole weather was the weather was. It made that
whole experience even more of a disaster.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
Yeah, I want to take one more call.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Yeah, Steven Florida says he has Disney World advice for you, Cove.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Oh what's up, buddy?
Speaker 7 (28:36):
Hello?
Speaker 4 (28:36):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
What's up?
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Man?
Speaker 8 (28:38):
I've been living in Florida for a long time, But
the best thing that can happen is to have some
rain when you and your daughter get to Disney, Because
what you do is you buy those two dollars ponchos,
put them on, have a bag that's got a couple
of tonnels, and if it's not pouring, the whole place
empties out and you get to go run through all
(29:00):
the rides in lickety split time. My daughter and I
did it. She was nine, and we made nine rides
inside of an hour and fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up, and I
appreciate you and thank you so much, But you know,
what Steve, the best dad in the world, did me.
I went and bought all those lightning passes already, and
they're not cheap. So what happens if that is the case?
I thought all about this, man, you got you spent
five hundred bucks to cut a line that's not existing.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Lightning and thunder passes.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
Now, yeah, exactly. I bought the scattered shower passes by
the stake. Hell oh, thank you man. We'll keep you
posted on that.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
But I hope everybody had a decent time on the
next day, even though I didn't have any buns, and
I know having no buns is sad. So got soggy buns.
That's all you got buns? The only one that wants
us here, Joey Chestnut, all right, you had soggy buns
last week, Rich when you were a danger girl. Aga
(30:01):
Universal saudios, Saggi buns. I do want to talk about
this a bunch. We're gonna get to today. I want
to after we go to DV front update. Today's an
anniversary of one of the most legendary moments in the
last fifty years of baseball, and we'll get to it
has to do with a guy you mentioned Robin Ventura,
but we'll get to that after DB's update.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
What's going on? Dan Byer?
Speaker 4 (30:23):
Hey, Dan, I'm wondering if that history happened in a
ballpark that I was familiar with. I'm curious. I'm curious.
We shall see. I don't got a lot of baseball
to tell you about, but a bunch of stuff in football,
including in the college game. Preseason coaches polls out the
Texas Longhorns are the preseason number one squad that'll open
the season at number two. Ohio State, the defending national champions,
(30:47):
will host the Longhorns on Saturday, August thirtieth. Rest of
the top five is Penn State at three, Georgia at four,
and Notre Dame in at number five. The Indianapolis Colts
listed both Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson as first team
quarterbacks on their depth chart, saying Daniel Jones or Anthony
richards Sim Jaguars released a depth chart that had a
bit of a twist to it. Travis Hunter second team corner,
(31:11):
first team wide receiver for the second overall pick from Colorado.
His teammate at Colorado, Sudor Sanders, return to practice today
for the Browns after missing time with his sore shoulder,
but fellow rookie quarterback Dylan Gabriel sat out practice because
of tightness in his hamstring. Bet Online says the Bills
right now are the new favorite at five to one
to win Super Bowl sixty. Speaking of the Bills, running
(31:31):
back James Cook remains a hold in as he wants
a new contract. The twenty twenty six men's and women's
NCAA basketball tournaments will remain at sixty eight teams. Talks
still going on to possibly expand in twenty twenty seven,
and the Spurs and guard d'aron Fox agreed to a
four year max extension were two hundred and twenty nine
million dollars.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Guys. Back to you, the big n buyer.
Speaker 2 (31:53):
I don't have much baseball to talk about either, because
I don't know what the hell the Yankees are playing.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I don't know what you call that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
I've never seen more mental mistakes by one team. I
never saw an entire team catch the yips at the
same time. But the mental errors have been disgusting, to
say the least. And I've never seen anything like what
happened this past weekend when every new acquisition was part
of the blunder when they lost thirteen to twelve. Does
(32:20):
everyone know that because you might just know Kevinol more
so because you're a Yankees fan. Of the people the
Yankees got at the trade deadline.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
It was insane.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Every one of those newly acquired players gave up a
home run immediately or made a blunder in the field
like it was. It was wild to think, like all
these guys just got the yips putting on the pinch track.
He's got four new acquisitions. Bird let up a grand slam.
Then Bednar comes in, this champion, lets up a two
run home run. Then Doval lets up the game getting hit,
(32:47):
and then Caballiro comes charging in for the play at
home and the ball gets by him and they lose
the game.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Man, they lost. They got swept by Miami.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
It was the most atrocious thing I'd ever seen, well
horrible as thinking. By the way, Dan Buyer brought up
some QB stuff in the NFL Indianapolis still making it
very unclear is it Daniel Jones or Richardson. You see
the graphic dB that ESPN posted the quarterback tracker of
the Browns, how they showed the production of all four
(33:17):
guys so far, is it.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Like the Domino's Pizza Pizza tracker? Similar?
Speaker 2 (33:21):
Similar to the pizza tracker, but as far as like attempts.
Gabriel has the most attempts throughout the nine practices they've
gone through, combining practices combined, and right now, shard Or
Sanders has the most productive stats.
Speaker 1 (33:36):
But you talk about practice stats.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
Well, you're also he hasn't gone against the ones. You know,
he's the only quarterback that, up to a certain point
end practice against the first team defense. So I don't
want to say that I would hope, but the numbers
are a little bit misleading.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
I mean, I could be wrong. I'm not following the
Browns as close as other teams. But in history, there's
always been a sentiment of like, all right, veteran, rookie,
young guy, is he ready this? I don't know if
we've ever seen something where there's so many potential people
that could get the job. It's usually like is the
(34:12):
veteran gonna hold the place until the rookie's ready?
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Or is the new guy?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
Is it a quarterback battle between a newly traded guy
and a veteran. This is you're talking about two drafted quarterbacks,
one Super Bowl winner who's way past his prime but
still effective, and then throwing Kenny Pickett.
Speaker 4 (34:29):
Especially in a league where a lot of teams are
only having two active quarterbacks, the emergency quarterback now plays in.
But when you're looking at rosters, here's the other crazy thing.
You actually kind of have another team doing it with
the Giants because you have Wilson and Winston. Yeah, drafted
Jackson Dart, but Tommy DeVito is still there. Yeah, so yeah,
it's not common. You're right about that, dp ME.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
I mean, this is just speculation. But you know how
the NFL, at some point we realize we'll go to
eighteen games. There's a sentiment that if they go to
eighteen games and there's roster manipulations, that team will eventually
carry one additional quarterback.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
I've heard.
Speaker 2 (35:04):
I've heard people speculate that that would probably if you're
playing eighteen games two by weeks, it's a little longer.
The idea of three quarterbacks moving forward in the future. Yeah,
it doesn't sound crazy.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
And I think that the NFL rules really prohibited quarterback development,
and so when you have sixty some quarterbacks play, you
really didn't do a good job of protecting that position
when you're you only have so many spots, and so
they've changed the rules over the last couple of years,
at least with practice squad and other spots to allow
that position to get more attention.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
So what you're saying is the Giants and the Browns
are just ahead of the trend. Yeah, essentially you get
a look at it or the bottom of the barrel
or ahead of the trend.
Speaker 1 (35:41):
Who knows. I know we got a break.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
But around the room real quick, do you think thumbs
up or down? Will all four of those quarterbacks take
a snap in a regular season game this year?
Speaker 7 (35:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (35:50):
No, I don't think. Now you don't think all four.
I'm going to say, yes, I feel like something will have.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
They had five or six one, you know, a season
or two ago, like in the same season. They're struggling,
They're gonna try anything. All right, we got more Cavin
on Ritch. We are doing it live from the Fox
Sports Radio more next right here, it's Monday.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
All right? Oh no, we are rocking like a hurricane.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Covino and Rich with Danny g Iowa, Sam dan Byer
spots on the videos.
Speaker 1 (36:19):
Fox Sports Radios YouTube page.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Live from the Fox Sports Radio studio and it's time
for our TIRACT play of the day with his second
home run of the day. We've been talking about it
rich this whole hour at the Speedway classic. Eli White
finally put the rain soaked.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
Baby to bed, brings it. Eli smashes another one back
to the wall. This one flies. How about some more.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Horsepower from Eli White.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
It's a homer fire up the pace car. It's more
two braids.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Well, that was courtesy of the Brads Radio Network and
that was our TIRAQ Play of the day. And by
the way, Eli White, remember that. That'll be the answer
to a trivia question, who like what big leaguer at
home runs in the state of Tennessee.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
The answer is the first. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
For over forty years, tire Rack has been helping customers
find the right tires for how, what and where they drive,
ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection
with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack
dot Com the way tire buying should be happy. Nolan
Ryan Day, We're going to talk about that in a minute.
Plus last one standing lots to get too on the show.
But we've been talking about this Speedway Classic and how
(37:26):
mother nature didn't want to didn't want to help the situation.
And it happens, dude, It happens in sports, it happens
in life. You know, mother nature doesn't always cooperate.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And I think the lesson is.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
Being able to roll the punches, like you know, make
your best, make the best you can out of it,
like that one guy said, Hey, listen, we went under
a ten tailgated, had food and drink, like you know,
you just got to make the best of it, and
you know it's there's nothing you could do right, So
like star, I need.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
To laugh back on but in the moment, it sucks.
Oh yeah, I know exactly.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Talking about Danny g and I were just saying, if
you've been up to the Bay area in San Francisco.
I remember taking a friend up there and they just
wanted to pitch with them and their wife in front
of the Golden Gate Bridge. But some days it is
just clouds and fog layer in front of the bridge.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Like one big Charlie Hayes y yeah, and then one
big haze.
Speaker 5 (38:16):
On the central coast. Moro Bay is like a romantic
getaway spot. Take your significant other for the weekend and
Moro Rock three stacks in a rock really famous. There's
weekends where you don't see the rock at all, just fog,
and so some people think it's not even there.
Speaker 2 (38:30):
So I'll say this again because we've been talking so
high on baseball. The Field of Dreams game amazing and
again that's under construction right now. So they went and
did the what the Rick wood Field game, that East
West Classic that was really great in Birmingham, Alabama. This
(38:51):
one the intention was fantastic, like it was looking so promising,
eighty five thousand plus, but again the downpour got way.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
We'll wrap it up with one more phone call. Who
do we got, dannyg.
Speaker 5 (39:03):
Let's go to some usually beautiful weather in Honolulu, Butch's but.
Speaker 8 (39:09):
Hey guys, hey, hey, so.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Two stories.
Speaker 3 (39:15):
I'll make a short.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
One is a good one.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
At Alola Stadium about three or four years ago in Honolulu,
Guns and Roses was playing and when they started playing
November rain it was raining.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
That's totty cool.
Speaker 2 (39:30):
I mean, listen, sometimes if you're okay with the weather
being a little suspect, sometimes it makes for a memorable moment.
Can you know's right in the moment you might be like,
but looking back, I saw Aerosmith at what's that outdoor
places a p and c art in Jersey.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
It was pouring and he was singing.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
Dream On in the rain, and looking back, I'm like,
that was probably one of the coolest moments I've ever seen.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
So you got to just accept it.
Speaker 7 (39:54):
My other weather story is a.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Cruise from Texas goes to be down to make go.
Speaker 7 (40:00):
To the golf.
Speaker 8 (40:02):
Hurricane. Five days on the ship only got off once
and spent like twelve hundred dollars on booze.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Yeah, it happens, man, We've all been there, and that's
you can wrap it up with that. We've all been
on a vacation. We've all had plans to go to
a big game Kentucky Derby, a golf event, US Open, Tennis.
Speaker 1 (40:18):
You plan on going somewhere. Weather doesn't cooperate. It happens.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
Baseball, unfortunately, was the sucker this weekend that didn't plan accordingly.
And you know, fields drained differently based on how official
they are. Danny out here in the valley looking around,
there's fields that drained perfectly because they put money into it,
and then there's others where if it rains no one's
playing for a week, so it's all about the drainage.
So tiling, tiling, tiling, Iowa, Sam, you all about the Benjamins, bro. Yeah,
(40:46):
So next hour we talk Luca last one Standing, and
we got to celebrate Nolan Ryan Day.
Speaker 7 (40:51):
Next.
Speaker 2 (40:51):
If you don't know what that is, well it's the
anniversary nineteen ninety three. On this day, someone took a
knuckle sandwich and that guy was Robin Ventura at the
hands of a forty six year old Nolan Ryan, which,
by the way, looking back, I thought forty six he
was ancient, and now I'm like, no, not so much.
All Right, we got more Covino and Rich next right
here on Fox Sports Radio.
