on YouTube at Covino and Rich FSR. I hope you
had an Amed Rosario sort of night. Dude hit two
bombs last night from my Yankees. I hope you had

(01:58):
a do I call this guy the moon guy. Let's
just say the coverage at the Rays game was last
night was just as good, if not better than Artemis too,
because I saw a full moon last night. It's all
over the place. Is this guy's fat ass all over
social media, television everywhere. Before we dive it today today's show,
like that guy did in a row d oh, and

(02:21):
that was horrible. Question is so funny? Question is one
of the best clips if you have it. This the
beauty of sports. You always see something new. If you
haven't seen it, I don't know if you post it.
I posted at Rich Davis on my inside post at
the minute I saw it last night. So my question
is this the fat dude that dives to the ball
and his pants completely fall down. Can we go over
how that even happens? Okay, I want to go step

(02:43):
by step, Like, all right, foul ball comes are at Tampa.
There's a foul ball into the stands. This don Vito
looking fat guy sun, This don Vito guy, He's like,
I got it, I got it, I got it. Oh,
and all of a sudden he misplays it. He misplays it.
He's tracking down this foul ball. He's like by himself
in the premium seats. His pants completely fall down, and

(03:03):
he moons there's a lot of Moon coverage this week.
He moons all the fifty fans that are there, and
then everybody watching on TV, and of course it goes
viral on social media and the announcers. I think they
mute their mics because they crack up laughing behind the
scenes because there's like broadcast silence for the next minute
and a half. Well, to quote Reggie and the Nutty Professor,

(03:24):
it's a full mode tonight exactly what that was hilarious
And if you have not seen it, I don't know
where the hell you've been, but it was one of
the best crowd shots in the history of sports. It's
more popular than this guy today.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
He like lunges for the ball too, Like he's all
by himself in this section and like he kind of
goes one direction and then like his.

Speaker 1 (03:47):
I was about to call Danny g and be like,
track this guy down for tomorrows show, and I'm like,
there's no way this guy would ever do anything.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
He's hanging low. He's hanging low.

Speaker 1 (03:54):
Imagine if that was like dad or uncle or he's
hanging low. While you saw the frontal shot, I didn't
see the frontal shot. Answer hanging low. So here's the question,
though again, before we dive into all the rest of
the fun we have today, please figure out I don't
know what it is, and I'm not here to get
down on heavy set folks. But like, I see a

(04:14):
lot of people that are bigger and their cracks are
hanging out, and I'm like, do they not feel the wind? Like,
You'll not even get used to it. Problem, You'll never
catch I feels like a nice breeze. You'll never catch
me with my crack hanging out. Because what do you
feel if your underwear was hanging low or something? It happens.
I mean I could tell, but it happens. Sometimes. The
thing is, I think he's wearing sweatpants and the string
gives or something in the moment. But if he was

(04:36):
pants fall right down, and that would be embarrassing in
any setting. Imagine you're at a ballpark. Imagine if it's
on camera, Imagine if it's all over social media. That's
the crazy part of this story. This dude's asses everywhere.
If you remember in the eighties or nineties, we all
lived in the culture. Maybe it was just my high school.
You guys remember the old prank. It was wrong, but
you were probably a victim at least once. And you

(04:58):
watch people pants someone. It was very eighties or nine.
Did you call it pantsing or d pantsing? We called
it pantsing his pantsing, Yeah, yeah. Like, let's say I
was Sam was on the playground talking to a girl.
Someone would sneak up behind Sam a little and then
he'd stand there in its tidy white he's like, Oh.
There was a kid whose reputation was permanently ruined at
my elementary school because we were playing kickball at recess.

(05:20):
Someone snuck up behind him and gave him a little wow.
And it wasn't that he was in his undies or
he had a Spider Man underwear. His reaction time was
so bad. Instead of pulling up his sweats and be like,
you guys are a holes, he just stood there with
his hands across for a good ten seconds total shock,

(05:41):
to the point where I think some of his buds
were like, dude, by the way, the best way to
pull this trick off. My favorite antic back in the
day was let's see who's taller, and let me see
how much taller I am, or vice versa, and you
stand back to back and yep. But this guy, he
went for it and his asses all over the place.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Today.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
What is it is? It was he wearing like big
fellow sweats that the d like you said, the last
to go the string or something gay think something just
popped down. Does that Guys wear their pants one of
two ways you do the farley of the Dumpty Chris
Christy the Dumpty is the Chris Christie move where that's
where you put a belt along your belly right over

(06:21):
the farley is under the belly where the fact guy's
belly flops over. I think this was an under the
belly situation farley. Yeah, it was a farley because it
would it would have traveled much further if it was
over the belly. And is it was so embarrassing if
you don't know the Dumpty picture that Chris Christie picture
where he played in like a charity softball or baseball game. Look,

(06:43):
it's the Dumpty Like he was using his belly as
the belt. Oh my goodness.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Do we know if this fan ended up with the ball.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I don't know. He ended up with embarrassment for him
and his whole family, that's what he ended up.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
I was just hoping he got the ball. After that.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
However, he did go viral, and in today's world that
means something. So hey, congratulations to him, because his ass
is all over the news, all over social media. It
was all over that game and all over the coverage.
So again Artemis two didn't capture that. You know, we
got it.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
I watched that like twenty five times and I laughed
like a NonStop for a twenty.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
This is so we all know the embarrassment, but imagine
it at that level. It's so funny. So who would
have thought the week where we got the best pictures
of the moon in the history of planet Earth, they
weren't even the best moon funnels. And by the way,
if you're in the car, you know, keep your eyes
on the road. We'll post it at Covino and Rich.
We made a whole little montage of it. Spots working

(07:38):
on that as we speak at Coveno and Rich on
social media, and you know your thoughts. I hope you
I hope your neck was better than his. Remember I
said yesterday how the old timer who can't print out
as Dodgers tickets as an opportunity for the Dodgers. Oh,
old man Errol eighty one years old. And I was like,
the Dodgers could have Otani print out the tickets, give
it to him, or maybe Spectrum or T Mobile has

(08:00):
a partnership, Like give this guy a smartphone. This you know,
you think the Rays need to do something. The Rays
forget the raise. One of our sponsors, Dude Wipes needs
to break out the you know what do they always
say extra large dude wipes could clean up any mess
they need to be like if you got it, ask
like this guy and then just you know, flash that
dude wipes. I don't know if due wipes can clean

(08:22):
up that mess, man, But I mean everything has limits. Yeah,
you know, maybe maybe it's a sponsorship for like some
sort of Haines underwear, some sort of partnership with depens
or something.

Speaker 6 (08:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (08:34):
The guy was wearing underwear, I mean as far as
I could see the elastico. Maybe who knows. So that
was last night. There was some brawls, there were some booties.
Imagine you're there right by the way, You're close enough
to this fan. They got it on camera and now
the guy's everywhere. But imagine they didn't. You would never
have been able to paint that picture to your friends,
like your guy in the next section fell and his

(08:57):
asses out, like you would have never been able to
tell that story good enough? And Sam, do we have
the audio because the announcers like I hope everyone's good
down there or something like that. And then and then
it goes completely silent, to the point where they stop
calling balls and strikes for a minute because they're probably
all dying watching the replay in your studio. If you're
on our YouTube, Chattel Spots just did the still frame that.

(09:22):
Imagine if that was your uncle Veto and his asses
all over the place. That's hilarious. I mean, granted, he's okay.
Just like the fight last night. I don't condone fighting,
but I love it when everybody's okay. There was no injuries,
so I love it. I love that moment. I love
the brawl. And it was a pretty pretty decent Tuesday night.
You've been talking about baseball's poppin'. We had a fight

(09:43):
and an ass last night. Yeah, incredible, And speaking of
fights in baseball, I'm fighting about baseball. You hear me
out for a minute before we get into our new
game and midweek major and everything else. And by the way,
I say all that respectfully as much as I can
when I say, like the thoughts, but I'm just saying, like,
I just don't understand how bigger folks, and listen, we

(10:04):
all have friends and family that are bigger. That doesn't
make it. I am, You're right, I'm still offending. But
I never understand how ass cracks are out and people
don't feel it, you know what I'm saying, Like, you
know what, a girl's booby's out on the beach, like
a wave hits her, but it takes her way second
to it's always out. You get sort of used to it, right,
But they're not all plumbers, dude. I can't imagine just

(10:26):
walking around town and the crack is exposed. You don't
feel the draft. I don't know, like it happens once
in a while you notice it, but yeah, I notice it.
So you're right. Have you been to get working on something.
You're in the yard and you feeling you you pull
up your your boxer brief You're like, oh, his whole
pants fell down. We're already getting phone calls about it. It

(10:46):
was one of the highlights of the night, I mean,
and it was a good baseball night eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox. So get this, Sam, I pictured
you laughing, by the way, because when you sent it
originally I think who sent it first? I did, Yeah, yeah,
and then Danny Santa screenshot of just his butt, can
I tell you, Sam, But it was it wasn't just
the jan fill down, it was everything surrounding it and
the reaction to the people who were closest to him

(11:08):
or the security guard just goes what's going on? Maybe
the Rays do like a belt night and just hand
out belts to the first about a suspender night? How
about a bubble ass bobble ass. Yeah, that's working as
his suspenders night, every portion of it. You're right, the
tracking down, the ball, the misplay this because he's like
he goes one direction and then he goes the reaction.

(11:30):
But just to show you how much I love you,
I'm laughing hysterically, but I'm laughing even more picturing you
laughing last night because you kept hitting us up saying guys,
I can't stop watching could and you.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
Laugh that hard for like twenty minutes straight, and you
feel so relaxed afterwhard You sleep so well when you
have a good belly laughing.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
You know, because it's real. It's like pure comedy. It's
like something Chris Farley would do in the movie. Yeah,
it's like a three stooges. He would like fall the
table just for laughs. Andy would say, that's that's how
I felt. Remember when he was one of his first
appearances on like David lettermany kept backwards. This guy don
vito't look alike with his ass out, all right, So

(12:06):
anyway hear me out? Yeah, I love chopping it up
and talking baseball right baseball season And I'm on social
media and you could say I'm being trolled. You could
say I'm falling in the trap. That's fine. I gotta
tell you something that's going on, and there's a bigger
question at hand. I don't expect you to care about
what I'm about to tell you until I get to

(12:27):
the question. I saw a post and it says dad,
it's a picture of Oswaldo Cabrera. You know who Oswaldo
Carrera is. I do. He's a baseball player, baseball player,
and the Yankees broke his ankle. Remember that that play
at home broke his ankles. Utility guy for the Yankees.
I like him a lot. That's part of the story.
I really like this guy. So this is not a knock.

(12:50):
This social media post says dad, who is the Yankees
utility guy before as Waldo Cabrera? And it's a whole
manta of who this person thinks was the best utility
player that the Yankees had. And there's been so many
great utility players in baseball in years, right, but we
all have an idea of what and who utility players are. Right,

(13:12):
this guy, this bird brain makes a whole montage of
a guy who was a bona fide starter, who was
a batting champion in two different leagues, who was an
All star, who was a highly paid player, a Gold

(13:33):
Glove winner. He posts DJ Lemayhew. Everybody remembers DJ Lemayhew. Right,
that's not even le Mayhew's not a utility guy. I'm
glad you said that, because that's exactly what I responded. Respectfully.
I'm like, hey, great video, DJ Lemayhew, great player. Respectfully,

(13:53):
he wasn't a utility player. He was a bona fie
starting player. He is the definite. And I get the
response from all these younger people on TikTok and I'm like, oh, jeez,
do I really want to engage just how you think
your knifef you go so your Nike Keno's. I was
fighting with kids on TikTok and laughing at this as
but I have a question based on this. Yeah, he goes.

(14:13):
He is the pure definition of what a utility player is.
He played every position in the infield. He even played
the outfield sometimes. I said, that's called versatility. Yeah, he
was versatile. That's what made him an exception, DJ le Mayhew.
And he's not the only guy, but he was an exception,

(14:34):
meaning he's a guy like Mookie Betts who could play
different positions, but he was by no means a utility player.
In fact, by comparing him to Oswaldo Cabrera a utility player,
that's an insult. So you're essentially insulting one of your
favorite players. He was a starting player who had an
injury and that's why he's not in the league anymore.
He never became the same player again. But it's not

(14:56):
about DJ lem Mayhew. I then got into a debate
about what is a utility player, and I said, utility
player is a guy that comes off the bench and
that's versatile enough to play multiple positions. But he's a
guy that usually comes off the bench. Lemayhew was a starter.
That's not a utility player. He's just first. His first
Before the show, when you and I were chatting up,

(15:18):
I brought up Mookie because I was saying, based on
this argument you had with this kid on TikTok, Mookie
Bets could play outfield, thenfield anywhere. So you tell me
Mookie Bets is a utility This kid got me with
a bunch of kids started chirping at me, and he
got me with a bit of a singer. What is it?
Dj le Mayhew? Again, he was like, again, is the

(15:40):
definition of a utility player? Utility? In fact, he won
the first ever MLB Utility Gold Glove in the first
every Gold Glove category for utility players. So again, you
win one for first base second He won the first
ever in twenty twenty two utility player for utility Glove.

(16:03):
And then it dawned on me. Yeah, I still respectfully disagree,
and he goes, what do you know? He called me?
He goes, listen to know what he said to me. Yeah,
I don't know who taught you the rules of baseball? Dog,
but you're wrong, she said, dog Dawg. I said, well,
if you want to hit him with this, I stooped
low and I shouldn't have did it. I said, hey,
you want to talk about it, Buster Brown? I didn't
say Buster Brown, I should I should have that what
I have said that would really put him in his place.

(16:24):
I said, if you really want to discuss it, dog dawg,
why don't you call the show today on Fox Sports. Ready,
I'll be hosting eight seven seven ninety nine on Fock.
You're fighting with a teenager because I think I know
what a utility player is, all right, I watched baseball
my whole life. But then it dawned on me if
they're giving out gold gloves, Bro, I'm on Fox Sports today.

(16:45):
Here here's the thing. Though, then it dawned on me. Yes,
even though I'm doubling down on I'm right me, Bro.
Definitions of words change throughout the years. Yeah, and maybe
a younger person's definition of what a utility player is
what ours was growing up and even still now. Like
the word fat had two meetings at one point, right,

(17:08):
Like the word goat. Growing up, goat meant like you
blew the game. He was the goat. Now it means
you're the greatest of all time. There's a viral movement
online of young kids hating when their parents use their
terms incorrectly. Like there's dads. There's videos of dad saying, Hey, Kyler,
you hooking up with Joe tonight and he's like, hooking up?

(17:30):
You think I'm making out with Joe? Yeah, you guys
hooking up? And the dad means, are you guys getting together?
Like Lincoln, are you linking up? Are you going out? Like?
Things change meaning over time, and in sports, I'm wondering.
A utility player for us was a guy who came
off the bench. He didn't start, but he was versatile
and he played all different positions. Does a younger person

(17:52):
have a different impression or definition of what he has?
The definition changed, much like batting average mattered and now
it doesn't. Is a utility player a different player to
a young player? Before we think about the younger generation
and then and then Rich and then Rich. Yes, is
it foolish to chop it up with people on social media?

(18:13):
Are they just trying to get get at me? I
love that you engage with like, yeah, is this a
solid move? If you see someone saying some wrong stuff,
like do you want to correct them or not? That's
that's the second part of the question. Before we go
to the feedback take the bait. Let's ask her other
room Danny g Iowa, Sam Dan Bayer, When you say
utility player. Could a utility player be a starter? Could

(18:35):
a DJ Lemayhew and Mookie Betts? Like, will you say
utility with that logic? Aaron Judge is a utility player
because he plays all outfield positions, So that logic is flawed.
You're a starter or you're off the bill. Like there's
a guy Oakland A did I say Oakland? I meant
athletic former met Jeff McNeil. McNeil would play left field,

(18:56):
second base, third base, first base once in a while,
Like does that mean? It just means to personal they're exceptional,
They're exceptions, that's what they are. Can a starter be
called the utility guy? That's my first question because it
was driving me bonkers trying to convince these young kids
that I know what I'm talking about, and they're telling me,
I don't know. Baseball dog Danny Mookie, you can't say,
like Mookie's the best again, but Mookie's not utility guy.

Speaker 7 (19:17):
I don't think of them like that when you say that,
I think of a specialized guy that can fill in
for injuries or fill gap.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Like there's a guy on every team that you're like, yah,
we got an injury, or someone's banged up. You know
that guy could play second base, center field. He could
also throw in the first base glove and play first base. Like,
that's a utility guy. Off the bench, off the bench.
You're not paying utility players superstar money. Guess who got
superstar money. Guys like DJ Lemayhew, guys like Mookie Betts,

(19:45):
they're not utility guys. But I am given the benefit
of the doubt that if we're given utility player gold
gloves out now, maybe a younger fan has a different
definition and impression of what a utility guy is. I
have a you don't take the bay. Ever, I have
multiple words that have changed meaning enough over the years

(20:06):
that it will drive me nuts or U nuts, okay them.
So we'll get to that next. Plus, we're gonna talk
about some fights, a really fun promotion they did in
Toronto and it involves hot dogs. We'll get to all that.

(22:19):
you know what the funniest part about it is. I mean,
I don't know, maybe the world needed that last night
because I don't know. It was cracking me up. If
you missed it. There was this Don Vito looking guy
going for a fount ball in Tampa against the Cubs.
He falls, his pants fall down, his ass comes out,
he's trying to get up. The thing is when you fall,

(22:41):
anytime you fall, right, you try to you try to
jog it off and hope that nobody saw. And there
had to be a moment where he was like, oh,
what if I just stayed down everybody saw like you
always hope that nobody sees. There's a part of it's
like I'm just gonna stay down here forever.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
The announcer is going dark. I think it's the best part.

Speaker 1 (23:06):
You know what, we have the audio or if you
missed it and we're posting it at Covino and Rich
at Fox Sports Radio against maam.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
Flip all down the right side and it'll twist off foul.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh everybody, okay down there.

Speaker 1 (23:26):
I'll everyone say okay down there. But you hear the ooh,
I hear that. You hear the oof of disgust and embarrassing,
and now it's just quiet.

Speaker 2 (23:33):
It like it just keeps going and their mics are muted.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Because they muted their mics and they're dying laughing. I'd imagine,
did you just hear the like the radio atmosphere, the
baseball sounds and just embarrassment. You feel that guy's embarrassment
in the microphone. But anyway, your thoughts on that and
your thoughts on this, Yeah, first of all, am I
wasting my time trying to teach these young weeniels on

(23:57):
social media? A thing or two about baseball. I have
a question about words in terms that change meaning. Ken, Okay,

Mike Mike. Ever get them to print out of Dodgers
tickets or no? No, I don't think so. The long
story short, The short long of it is, I saw
a post and it says that DJ Lemayhew was their

(24:40):
favorite utility player. Yeah, and I kindly responded, Djlmayhew was
not a utility player. And I got all this backlash,
all from young nose picking kids, being like, he absolutely
was a utility player. He won the Utility Gold Glove
the first ever in twenty twenty two. I'm like, dude,
he was a bona fide starter. He was just for allah.
So has the definition of utility player changed because growing

(25:04):
up it was always the guy that came off the
bench that played all different positions. Well, it poses a
bigger question, what words, what phrases, what things have changed
definition in our lifetime that that maybe a different generation
will be like, I'm sorry, what did you say? I
wrote that A few I have I think I have
like my top three. But I want to give a
little honorable mention to every young woman that says letter

(25:27):
la when she means figuratively, that's what I mean. Like
they're saying it, Oh my god, I literally, no, you
didn't no figure.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Basically they mean the right thing, basically rich.

Speaker 5 (25:38):
But basically they use literally when you like you say
like I just stubbed my I literally just stubbed my toe.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Just say you stubbed your toe.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
But don't you feel in a way they're trolling you
because you want to correct them, but it's like not
even worth your time. But literally it's a big one
because again, anytime someone says something figuratively, they literally The
girls would say literally, I got I got a few
that come to mind from me. In old timey time songs,
in holiday songs, you know, people used to be joyous,

(26:08):
happy and gay, like gay wasn't a sex and gay
was not only a sexual term. Gay apparel. People wore
gay apparel the Flintstone theme song I donned my gay apparel?
Or on the holidays, didn't they Peter Contail make your
Easter brighton gay too? I believe he did.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
Secondly, you said you alluded to it before. I think
if you ask a boomer, a gen xer, a millennial,
or a weenie, what's the younger generation called jen alpha
jen alfalfa? I think if you ask any generation, yoh, yeah,
we hung out, you know, I hung out with that girl.
We hooked up? What is hookup?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
Like?

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Does hookup mean you just hung out together? Does hook
up mean you got it on? Or does hook up
mean like you slept with them? Like because some people
be like, no, no, hookup means like you just you know,
you fooled a round of them.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Hook it up in the nineties for me just meant
you made out. Yeah, you kissed and made out. But
hook it up I think now means like, yo, they
did it? Wow?

Speaker 2 (27:05):
Really?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
Oh man? Yeah, see things change? Did you hook up?
So even though I think I'm right about utility player.
Maybe it's changed to a younger generation and uh and
what else? Shout out to my dad, who hey, Greg,
who listens every day? And I'm not going to tell
them to change it because I find it funny. Our parents,
I don't know about yours, refer to their flip flops

(27:27):
as thongs. And my dad, he must really love that
Cisco song. My dad, well, in the summer, I was, ah,
you know, I went to the pool, went to the beach.
I wear my thongs. And every time he says my thoughts,
does he say my thong? Don't don't dog? I'm like,
I think a lot of old Cisco's singing about flip
flops must really like those flip flops?

Speaker 5 (27:47):
Can I Can I offer something here though? Do we
take the term thong the footwear? And because it the
like the piece of cloth is like a y shape
and goes between two your toes. That's kind of how
it fits on the bottom. Do you think that they
or owed that, Yes, it's a thong flip flop. I
get that right, Like it goes into the crack of
your toes and then in other ways it goes into your.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
So we stopped calling flip stops thong. My parents did
to That was a part of my uh. I think
as a kid, I called Mexicon for a long time.
And but tim if I then became slides. If you
came over my place for a little barbecue pool party,
oh yeah, you would have been like I got my
swim trunks and my thongs? Would you? Would you say?

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Confuse people? They'd be like, all right, let's see it.

Speaker 1 (28:28):
Let's let's see it. Maybe that guy last night who
fell over was wearing a thong. We just couldn't see it.
Buried in there. I was buried, man. Uh. Words, things
they changed meaning. But was I'm right about the utility thing?
Too right?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
I mean?

Speaker 1 (28:43):
But then again he won the Gold Glove for Utility
Players eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We got
a few phone calls and then we'll get into some
other stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
Yeah, let's start in New York with Sean Hey.

Speaker 9 (28:54):
Sean Hey, guys, when when I think a utility player Yankees,
especially at Miguel Cairo, Yeah, Miguel Cairo, Maybe Jerry Harrison, JR.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Harriston, Guys like Randy Vallardi back in the day, Like
dudes like that, g shout out a shout out a
reliable utility Dodger over the years, Think of a Dodger
or Padre or giantly.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Because well, you could say, kek he came off the.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Bench and yeah, great answer, because he's the best answer.
He just plays big and big moments. But he was
still a utility guy. Absolutely, Thank you, man. But I'm
telling you, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just it's
viewed differently, just the same way batting averages you differently,
doesn't have the same importance that changes over time. Thanks
for the call, man. Who else do we got? Eight

(29:43):
seven to seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Let's go to the Desert, Indio, California.

Well? Good Dan? What's up? Hey?

Speaker 3 (29:54):
A couple of things.

Speaker 10 (29:55):
Hook up.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
If you've ever been deep sea fishing, that's what you
yell when you hook up.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
So you got a totally different meaning good when you.

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Got a marlin on when you got an alba core
tuna on the line. Yeah, well forever, you know, for
many many years, I've been doing it. That's what we
called it, all right. The other thing about the thong,
I stopped saying thongs a long time ago for foot flaps.
But I saw my first song.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Yeah that'll change, man. But this guy's this guy's uh,
you know, hooking up with thongs on completely different story,
so other words that change. Meaning leave it at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, or you can call

You ever feel like you're living in the Twilight Zone often, Yes, seriously,
what happened now? Because I'm reading feedback and you know,
you grow up thinking you know or you know what
a utility player is, and people are like yo. So
by your definition, Scott Femeyer hits us up on the

(36:51):
live chat Coveno on Rich FSR. So, by your definition,
Covino utility player is not good enough to start? Yeah?
We how do we all not know what it is?
Or did it change? Utility player can start a game,
but he's a guy that's just versatile. He doesn't always
start everyday guy that's a utility player. At least that's

(37:12):
what it was growing up. I don't know what to say.
I've been fighting about this for twenty four hours with
people like how is this not an obvious thing that
you need something better than your left to fight about.
Maybe let's go to the feedback. Danny G's on the
phones and we got them all lit up, so let's
take your feedback. Say what's up to the Fox Sports
Radio Nation, and then we debut a new feature with
Big Mike, who's very excited.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
Loaded lines. Right now, let's start again with Jerry in Phoenix.

Speaker 2 (37:37):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (37:37):
Jerry? Hey, Jerry.

Speaker 10 (37:40):
Yeah, it's Jerry.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
What man?

Speaker 10 (37:42):
Okay, I wanted to make a comment on you earlier
were talking about plumbers crack. Yeah, Okay. Back in the seventies,
I was at a Kansas City Royals baseball game and
I got up from my seat. I think I was
going up to go to the restroom or whatever. And
I'm walking up the aisle and I see this old
guy sitting on the chair right on the aisle, and uh, well, anyway,

(38:09):
I'm an old guy now, but back then, I mean,
this guy was sitting there in shorts.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
In shorts is wearing thoughts.

Speaker 10 (38:18):
Believe it or not, His fact was hanging out. I
could not believe that he would not know.

Speaker 1 (38:26):
This has been your memory for seven years childhood man.
Ever since then he's been addicted to plumbers cracked. Yeah. Like,
I just never understand when people don't realize traumatized.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
So let's go to Michigan. Mark is in the house.

Speaker 1 (38:42):
He I should a call man? What's up? Mark?

Speaker 4 (38:44):
Hey, guys, how's it going to taking my call?

Speaker 3 (38:47):
Man?

Speaker 1 (38:47):
What's up?

Speaker 10 (38:49):
So?

Speaker 4 (38:49):
I just I kind of disagree with your definition of
the utility player having to start a lot of utility
players have started consist I.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
Mean Brandon Inge.

Speaker 4 (39:01):
I grew up a Detroit fan. Yeah, Detroit Tigers, Brandon.
He's a perfect example of utility player. I think he's
the only player to ever start at three different positions
in a championship series.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Even if you look it up on Chad gbt's there's
exceptions to the rule. I get it, But a utility
player usually is off The is a guy who comes
off the bench. It doesn't mean he doesn't start a game.
You're in their value A lot of times is that
he might not have the numbers to start one hundred
and sixty two, but he's there. Sometimes I picture a

(39:33):
utility guy a guy that could even catch once in
a while, like a guy that could catch, maybe play
first base.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
I mentioned Kik He's started a lot of games over
the course of his career, but also he's come off
the bench so many times, even to pitch. Yeah, they've
used him as a pitcher in blowouts.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
But he's not your everyday second baseman. He's not your
everyday outfielder. He's not the everyday guy. There's a difference.
It's just bonkers to me that this isn't common knowledge
or benefit of doubt. Maybe it's the view have changed
on it. Like Danny your every day first basement for
the Dodgers, Freddy. Now there's people that could play first
base if Freddie has the day off, if they want

(40:09):
to give Freddy the day to d h or something
that's a utility guy a lot of times, if there's
if there's a guy like a like I said, a
Kik that could play multiple positions. Again a great example,
not a met anymore, but on the A's Jeff McNeil
could play first base, second base, he could play left field,
you know, and those type of guys they might play
a lot. I don't know what makes a utility guy

(40:32):
and a guy versatile. Is that if he's in the
lineup every day, because there are guys that are going
to start one hundred and thirty hundred and forty games.
I don't know if he's a utility guy anymore.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Yeah, it's kind of like a hybrid situation.

Speaker 1 (40:43):
Nowadays, utility guy can be here if someone goes down
with injury, all of a sudden, he's your starting dude. Yeah,
that could change. But back to the phone calls eight
seven to seven ninety nine, Oh Fox, who do we got.

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Let's go to Washington State, Zach.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Thanks for calling Zach. What's up, guys?

Speaker 9 (40:58):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (40:58):
What's up?

Speaker 10 (41:00):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (41:00):
So I want to talk about the kind of like
older generations using words that kind of mean different things.
Now yeah, yeah, Well marijuana is now legal in twenty
four of the fifty states. Can we get old people
quick calling it dope?

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Dude? That's so funny? Do you know? I wonder my
did your parents always say crank calls to like growing up?
The crank crank calls? That's really funny. Yeah, Like I
don't know do I am? I am I showing my age?
Do forty year old say weed? Like do younger people
say kind of bis like the weed, the weed, the weed?
Like what is uh yeah dope or like hash? Like

(41:33):
what a older people say they're smoking dope, they're smoking
the grass.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
The way we the whole reason, the way.

Speaker 7 (41:39):
We say dope has never changed because kids even still
use that as But.

Speaker 1 (41:44):
It's really interesting. You're right, that is funny older people
and they're used what they call weed. It's really I
feel like if you're roughly forty something, you won't you
won't call the weed.

Speaker 5 (41:55):
Let's go back to fast times at Ridgemont High when
mister hand accuses.

Speaker 1 (41:59):
Uh, he's just what are you people on dope? Are
you on dope? Mister Han on dope? All right? Two
more phone calls, Yeah, talk for one. Tacoma, Tony quickly, Tacoma.
What's up, guys?

Speaker 3 (42:12):
How you doing?

Speaker 1 (42:12):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Well, that's the whole hookup thing in the nineties. That
just meant you you got together with someone.

Speaker 10 (42:19):
That was it.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
You hooked up at the mall. I hooked up with
John at the mall. At think you were making out,
and then it turned into, uh, you hang out with
a girl, you hook up. It's like something happens. I
think now hookup means like you did it all. I
did not know that. I hope you're wrong. More CNR
