(01:12):
V I n O. Very good, so follow our podcast.
COVID probably comes up first, but we don't want to
talk about that. Covino and Rich follow our podcast. We
appreciate it. And this is day one of three the
Dan Patrick Hatrick and we're filling in for Colin on
the Herd on Friday, but we're on two to four
(01:33):
on the West normally Monday through Friday. Busy week. We'll
be in Philly on Thursday. That should be fun. I'm
excited about that. So he's gotta still be buzzing. I
gotta I gotta ask.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Because you know, the NBA All Star Weekend overshadowed by
as you said, Cobra Kai SNL fifty, you know, Hockey
US Canada, three fights in the first like ten seconds.
There were so many things that said overshadowed NBA All
Star Weekend. One thing, I didn't hear your match, which
means you haven't started yet.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I saw Andre Agasson and Steffie Grant want a pickleball tournament,
say that was pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
All these things overshadowing SNL's fifty all the highlights you're seeing.
But there's a new White Lotus season, and I know
we love the first two seasons.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I gotta ask.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
They're saying Arnold's kid, Patrick Swarzenegger's in it, and he
goes full frontal For the right price?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Would you for the right price?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Would you let it all literally hang out on streaming services?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Are you asking me the collective view? Do you know
me for twenty something years? You think I would actually
do that for the right price? Danny j for the
right price for my family? No thanks? Oh, he says,
you're embarrassed. It's not about being embarrassed. It's like, you know, hey,
I just don't feel like doing that.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
You'd rather the search come up as COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, I think it's the I would just blame it
on AI anyway. That was it me AI AI, That
was a special effects.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I just always think that's a very, very interesting choice
because there's very there's so many unnecessary times that you
see like man junk on shows, you gotta think the
dude agreed to it, like and you can say the
same about women.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But I'm prosthetic because that's usually the first Google search.
Is it prosthetic? Yeah, I'm asking you. I didn't have
it on pause all night.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like you if you watched. Just just know that that's
a choice people make. Thanks for the junk warning, though,
I don't think the world needs more of that. I
don't think it's needed in the storylines. I don't need
just the way that reporter didn't need it from Brent
Farv and girls on the internet didn't need it from
Rich back when he was dating. Yeah, seriously, you know
fun fact never sent one obvious, never even not even
(03:56):
to my wife. I just always thought it was like
a weird move. I was like, you know what, am
I gonna put a top hat on it? Like it's
President's ac Yeah, yeah, dress him up. Look at the time,
time to transition.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I did want to speak about President's Day for a second, Cavino, sure,
because I mentioned.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Earlier I would not be president.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
President Taft, there's the high school out here, taff high School.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
You do not want to make a president out of me.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
President Taft not only got suck at a bathtub, which
is like the worst rumor you could have it about
yourself if you were one of the forty five Leaders
of the Free World. Oh yeah, the fact I either
got suck at a bathtub.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Taft also the first president to throw out a first
pitch at a baseball game.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
To tie it back into Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
In nineteen ten, Washington Senators President Taft throughout a first pitch,
and it set of ties into my weekend as well,
because I'm starting to coach baseball for my son now right,
And when you see the other dads that are helping out,
it's a really simple question, is throwing a baseball? Because
(05:12):
we've all seen presidents do it. Always impressed with George W.
Bush after nine to eleven. I saw the Queen of
England do it. She had a like a mean like
screwball or something. One of my favorite seams in Naked Gun.
Oh you mean the real Queen George W. Bush with
the bulletproof vest on throwing a strike after nine to eleven.
(05:34):
Donald Trump's got a good arm, Obama's a lefty. Impressive,
Jimmy Carter. The list goes on and on of presidents
that I look at the way they throw, and I'm
not I'm not trying to sound chovnes.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I picture honest, abe I picture Abe Lincoln up there,
like the big unit, like Randad Johnson, tall and lanky,
probably had a heater.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You picture a blanket with a big unit. No, oh,
sure he liked the big out like Randy Johnson. So
I gotta ask. It's throwing a baseball the number one
easiest way to size up another grown man and decide,
I know how you were raised.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If I see a guy, I mean, you can bring
it back to that full frontal question you had earlier
if you want. That's an easy way to size people up.
That's true, But your wallet is another one.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But I'm saying I feel like when I see other
grown men. Danny at the Super Bowl, we had a
football on set. Every so often someone would come by.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
You'd be like, hey, what's up you?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
It was like, you know, when you have a football
or any ball of that matter laying around, some idiot
guy's gonna grab it and start having a catch, right,
But when you see another grown man throw a ball
or is in your mind is it taking a jump shot?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's throwing a baseball of a ball, not a football,
just a ball, not ball could also apply. But not
everyone is king spiral like me? Are not everyone you know,
could throw a football with great accuracy, like this guy.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Cove Oar Afternoon Slash Evening video producer Spotty Boy.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Yeah, he had the ball at one point.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I tossed it to him and he pushed the ball
like a discus.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah he pushes.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
No, but the way you would throw with your opposite
hands right that I'm a righty, So picture me throwing
lefty like you know what our video guy spot.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
And he's very talented at other things.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, it's a great indicator of your childhood, but it's
not an indicator of like the type of man.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You are or are you a good But it is
an indicator.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's an indicator on how you grew up for sure,
and did you play sports or not.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It is an an indicator of the type of man
you are because it could be a great man but
not be able to throw baseball. I'm not saying that
type of man is a good thing. I'm just saying
you could indicate. It could indicate what type of man
you are.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Not necessarily because I see a lot of professional athletes
that can't throw a baseball and I'm baffled.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
But what I'm saying, if you see like our buddy spot.
If he were to throw you a ball by by
him just tossing you a handball, football, baseball, anything, your
first instinct would be like, oh, you didn't play sports
as a kid. Is if you toss someone a baby,
how many?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
If there was an NBA stars or professional athletes get
on the get on the mound, then embarrass themselves.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I saw Kevin Durant throw out a pitch that at
a Giants game.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's not it's not one hundred percent fool proof and
accurate because guess what, last I checked, Durant has more
NBA points than you ever scored.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Right, So it's not a it's not a one hundred percent,
but it is a great assessment, like you can tell
a lot about that person.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm not saying it makes you a better man. But
what I'm saying is if you're across the room from
someone and there is a if let's say you're across
the room or in the yard at a barbecue or cookout,
if there's a ball next to another girl man and
you go, heye, throw that over here him picking it
up and throwing it to you, I think within five
(09:05):
seconds I could tell you about your childhood.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's not even about how they throw sometimes it's about
how they catch it too, if they snap at it,
stab at it like, stab at it like Tom Cruise does,
and he, you know, he's pretty good. Like these things
bother me in movies too, because you could see, like
like what actors are never put a sport in their
life like a mum. As much as I love him,
Mark Paul Gossler, Zach Morris say by the bell. He
(09:29):
was in that Fox TV show Pitch, and we talked
about it. He was trained at everything he was. I'm
just not a he's not a baseball guy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He could tell. The famous story would be Charlie Sheen.
He was throwing high.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Eighties in Major League and you could see he had
some decent mechanics for back then. But is it a
great indicator? Yes, because and do you make an assessment
that's not necessarily accurate? Yes, because I often think back
to President George Bush on President's Day on nine to eleven,
when Jeter famously said, you know, don't bounce it, and.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Perfect strike from the mound.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
He threw it from the mound, didn't bounce it, perfect
strike on a really high pressure situation when the world
was watching. And you know what, and I you know,
there was a part of me. Remember he had a
really sketchy reputation back then, right as as a buffoon
(10:25):
of sorts. Yeah, and you gained like an ultimate or
a different sort of respect when he saw that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And by the way, right, and that's what you kind
of give someone. You give him a little nod of acknowledgement,
like a guy could throw.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He had a pretty pretty normal challenged And the reality is,
whether you love him or hate him, Donald Trump has
a good arm.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
He does. I can tell you and catch on the
White House long.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
When you when you see Trump throw Mo ri Vera, right,
when you see Trump throw baseball, football or anything, You're like,
all right, think the guy grew up playing sports. And
I think again, it doesn't make you a better guy. No,
you could tell a lot about it. I'm just saying
on President's Day, when you think back to Bush or
Obama or Trump or you know, like I said, Taft
was the first president to ever.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I like, is it something else?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Though?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is something? Does something Trump? Pun intended? Does something Trump
the throwing of a ball?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
It?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Could it be a shot someone should like I saw
over the weekend, I saw Skip Bayless hitting three point shots. Yeah,
he's acknowledging his form because he was sinking every shot.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But its formal.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
But I didn't like it's form. But is there something
else though? That is a great indicator of their skill level?
This is this is a question.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Let me let me of their men, let me package,
let me package and phrase this question on President's Day.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Yes, when we.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Think back to how oddly good most presidents are throwing
at a first pitch and shows, how is this taft
pitch that you mentioned the first one ever? Yeah, I
don't know if it's recorded, that'd be the longest time ago.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
There was a video of its over the weekend, Rich.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I saw a video on TikTok and they were talking about,
you know, the Kendrick Lamar performance at halftime and whether
you liked it or not. They're like, you realize how
far we've come? Do you know what the first halftime
performance was? It wasn't a musical act. And I'm waiting
to see him, like what was it? He's like, it
wasn't a music line, Like was it a magician or something?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Was that woman that balances plates at the NBA game?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Yeah, was it like.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Some sort of gymnast, like you know, a guy on
a unicy called march marching band.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
What was it?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
He was like two bozos on jet packs, like.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Like from Kenny Powers, but they were in water. They
were like you have suspended in the air. Two guys
like demonstrating an airpack, like flying in the air. I
was like, man, that's weird. So I wonder what this
presidential first pitch looked like?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Is my point? Did taf throw a perfect strike a screwball?
We'll never know.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
But what we do know is if you had to,
if you had to tell someone about their childhood, my
answer is I could tell you everything about your childhood.
You know, other other than maybe like your relationship with
your parents, but I could tell you how you were
as a kid based on how you throw a ball.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Back to me, I agree with this assessment when Rich
and I agree, it's fact. But that's why it baffles
me when I see a professional athlete and he can't
throw a ball, like how one dimensional were you as
an athlete? That's always and maybe that's the reason for
their greatness in their in their sport. And this is
not because you see guys in the NFL and the NBA.
(13:39):
You see fighters they can't throw a baseball sometimes and
you're like, wow, you were really committed to your foul
shops and it doesn't mean you're you're better or worse Again.
I wish I could play the guitar, but I don't
got those skills.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I never learned. But I see when I you know,
you can see a guy find.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Of a baseball is pretty basic though, because you would
when you attribute this to like Caveman days of throwing
a rock, like you didn't you didn't figure out the
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
You're saying my daughter is seven and a half of
my son is five, just based on what they know
up to this point in t ball or softball. When
they get older, already at this age, I think they'll
mechanically not look weird. So it just means if you
throw a ball to me like h, I'm like, yo,
(14:27):
never one time did you play in your neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
What are you saying there that maybe like daddy wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Daddy wasn't there to take me to the fair?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Want to have a catch?
Speaker 9 (14:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, what's the assessment that they just didn't they didn't
Rough House on the streets and play with football. That's
what you're really assessing, Like you didn't play little league.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
They didn't.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
They they're really not. You're not getting.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
A great understanding of who they really are, but you
have an understanding of where they were or who they are.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
But he sure.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Just note that when you see these, when you see
celebrities or politicians throw out a first pitch, or like
Cavino said, if you're watching a movie, you could tell
what actors played sports, and you could tell what actors
were so involved.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
In the arts.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
They're like, yeah, this guy's in a sports movie.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I get this.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
He's never thrown a football, he's never shot at basketball.
You ever see someone that's never played basketball shoot a
basketball and they use both hands and they sort of
like push it like muha, like that that you did?
Your dad never shoot hoops with you? Did?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Your mom never take you into the park?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Like yeah, oh yeah, yeah for real? So your thoughts
at eight, seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox, just
on President's Day, just to remind her that it was taft.
If you want a little trivia, if you want to
be a smarty pants at your office, Taft the first
president to throw out a first.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Remember when Carlton took that long shot on the court
in Fresh Prints?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Exactly? They always say the worst, the worst sports. I'll
never know the movie, but it was a basketball ending
of a movie where a girl travels and holds the
ball for like a minute and there's like eight seconds
left on the clock.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I know that clips movie viral all over the place.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
All right, well, hey, let's you know what, let's take
one phone call on this now, we'll take the rest
when we come back. Let's go to fish in PA.
Fish throw throwing a baseball?
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Man?
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Is that the ultimate like ability to describe how a
guy probably grew up?
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Probably fifty I'm fifty seven. It's probably a generation link
now because back in my day, I mean, I would
say ninety percent of the kids played baseball.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Yeah, now it's different.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
Even my daughters who's twenty five and twenty two. At
seven years old, I had to go back and try
to figure out how to teach them how to throw
and catch. And some could catch but a lot, or
some could throw but a lot could not catch. So
I think I think that's a lot to do.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
A lot of kids nowadays, you know, they choose soccer,
So it might what he's saying is is true.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It might change or it might have changed over time.
But I still think.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
That that's that's one of those things. Well, you were
just saying, right your your daughter has like her first boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, he's a runner, so I imagine he probably doesn't
throw very well.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It's the bother your daughters are a boy that can't
even throw a bit. I don't know. I have yet
to have a catcher. It might have to.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
All right, you know, we'll take your feedback on this
ridiculous thought. Next right here, and we're gonna give away
a Covino and Rich stainless steel Swiggy. We're gonna do
a little trivia shack Diesel trivia. As we're into the
NBA season. You know now that All Star weekends behind us,
Is this when we really start paying attention? Is this
when we try to really invest more energy, which is
why the enforced weekend is so poor? Yeah, and it
(17:55):
was a little lackluster. All right, eight seven, seven, nine
to nine on Fox. Will play that and take all

Speaker 4 (19:53):
Let's take a few more phone calls on this first pitch.
Not necessarily about first pitch? Is today's President's day? Taft
first president to throw out a first pitch? And I said,
it's very easy to assess another grown man, another grown man.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Okay, but how he throws a ball?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
How about this it's not an accurate assessment because plenty
of pro athletes get out there and he embarrassed themselves.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Right, but you do make a judgment. I think that's
safe to say.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
It might be the judgest I yet, right, right, it
might not be accurate, but you're judging. For instance, for sure, Mike,
who runs this place? What's up, Mike?
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Party people in the house.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Mike.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
The first time you came in the studio when we
first met you a couple of years ago, and you
threw me the football that was sitting in here, my
instinct was, oh, Mike played sports as a kid, Right,
you could assess another grown man by how he throws
the ball.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I went to you, guys one hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
In fact, you know, Steve likes to call himself the
King Spiral over there.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I mean, in all fairness, people call me that.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
So here's the deal. When when I first heard that,
I'm like, you guys are ridiculous. There's no way. So
we throw the football around a little bit, and you
know what, King Spiral, bro Marino Spiral sex to me. Hey,
I was a gym class hero. I could throw football
for sure. I mean because I played in the streets
(21:18):
as a kid growing up. Let's uh, let's go to
Sean and York, Pa, what's up?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Sean? Coming on wretching for DP.
Speaker 12 (21:25):
I'm good. I agree with that one hundred percent. Actually,
I say it goes a lot sooner than that, because, like,
I'm a coach for my kids, and that was my
biggest thing was giving kids high five. You can walk
up to a kid and you put your hand out
giving high five, and you smack your hand like you
know hard. You're like, Oh, I want you on my
baseball team.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
That's you. You are so right.
Speaker 4 (21:45):

Speaker 13 (22:00):
Hey, how you guys know what today?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Jerry?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Do you agree that you could assess someone by how
they throw a ball?
Speaker 12 (22:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (22:06):
I believe so because I've had you know, I grew
up playing baseball and every when I was little, and
you could pretty much tell Yeah, some of the guys
that were hanging out playing music and the guys that
were playing the ball, So yeah, I could tell you.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Jerry, Jerry, it's the guy doesn't need to be piled
on because he's had a rough enough month after the
Super Bowl halftime show. But Drake, he wasn't that video
where Drake's like I played ball as a kid, Yes,

Jim Yo, yo yo.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
You gotta hear me.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Okay, yeah, you're on what's up?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Man?
Speaker 13 (23:31):
Okay, I got it?
Speaker 11 (23:33):
You guys ready, yes, sir, this is out. I grew
up South La Long Beach, Laquid Area, a little great town.
They had a great parks and rec program. And when
we played sports. Guess what they did, fellas what's that?
Speaker 12 (23:46):
You got it?
Speaker 11 (23:46):
You're right on the topic. So that sports you would play,
you would get on a team, and you would last
all three sports through the year. So you can start
with baseball, go to flag football, and go to basketball,
all on the same team. And the one metric they used,
they gave you a baseball. You were at the white
line and you threw it for distance. The first frank
(24:07):
got through the farthest. The coaches gathered a week later
and they drafted the kids based on how far they
threw the baseball.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
It's it's basic. And we will wrap it with Alex
in North Dakota. Then we'll play a little shack diesel trivia.
Give you some prizes. Alex wrapped us up, man, Alex. Alex,
Oh there he is, Hey, what's up? Buddy's worried about him?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
What's up, Budd.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
I totally agree with the you know, judging a man
by how you can throw, but also if you go
back to like Little League.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
When you're playing.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
He also judged the team by how they.
Speaker 14 (24:41):
Were warming up, how they were throwing.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Were they throwing all over the place, and yeah, they're horrible.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
You know, it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
And Covino and I didn't grow up together, Alex, but
we have the same memory that I think every kid had,
which was when you went to an opposing high school,
the minute you got off the bus. When you watch
the other team warm up, if their uniforms look cool,
if they field is manicure picture, the picture was popping
the glove on the side. You're like, oh, no intimidation factor, Yeah, doubt.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
When they would do their infield drill, you know, could
the short stop play with sort of arms?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Did they have?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You make those assessments. You make those judgments. It's just
how it is, whether it's right or wrong. Rich is right,
all right, Well he props the taft he had. He
clocked in at ninety seven. Back then they said that, yeah, yeah,
ninety seven, mop prour heater.

All right, so give me the what would you do?
This is my what would you do? I feel like, uh,
I feel like I'm clearly and definitely not alone. And
it's that time of year where kids sports for the
for the spring are starting up, right.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
My daughter's got.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Her softball, my son starts t ball, and I get
wrangled to being a coach, and I can jokingly complain
about it, but I'll be honest, I do love it.
I do love teaching these little kids the sport of
baseball and softball.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
It brings me joy. I know a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
You feel like a lot of people can feel that
way about any whatever their sport is, soccer, basketball, flag football,
tackle football. When you could pass your love of a
sport onto the kids. It really is a good feeling.
So while I jokingly complain about it, I love it.
I don't love the fact that, you know, my new car,
the car my wife and I got, has now become
(31:48):
just storage for teas and catchers, equipment and bags.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And you know, I mean, isn't that why you got
that giant truck SUV whatever the hell and a big
giant it's you know.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
We got that third row.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, just so we could throw down the chairs and
just have teas and equipment and bats and barrels and
band It is what it is. You know what happens
when you have two little nose pickus. You become sports parents.
And I love it. Again, who doesn't love sports? We're
here on Fox Sports Radio. I am the coach from
my daughter's softball team and my son's te ball team.
(32:25):
So far, Like I said, I love the joy of
passing down.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Whatever little knowledge I have.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I feel like I know baseball pretty well and I
feel like I'm like fun time coach. I bring out
the bluetooth speaker, I bring them little treats. I try
to be like until we get competitive, which my daughter
is now becoming competitive, becaust it's eight years.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You want them to feel good about the sport and
you want them to have fun. You want to have
them associate the sport with fun, now with negative few.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
I put the message out there that listen first and
first mostly listen parents. I want your kids to have fun.
This is sports. Sports are fun. Some of my best
memories playing sports as a kid. Father's seven and four.
So it's not like, yeah, you're that competitive. So I
was like, And secondly, though, I do want to teach
your kids some discipline, and I want them.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
To put the fun and fundamentals, and.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I want them to learn the game but also learn
how to win the right way and lose the right way,
you know, trying to teach them all the right things.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Here's my John kinones. What would you do? What do
you do when your kid.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Is the pain in the ass on your team and
you're the coach, Cause you know, when you want to
like like you're instide like good over here?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
You know what's embarrassing about that? The other kids will
never forget that? Like I could still picture my coach's
son crying because you know, he got hit by a
pitch or he was the brat like I remember him saying, like.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You sual you, We're gonna give me a Nintendo game.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I for I got, you know, frying and kicking his
feet at home plate like and this is, you know,
years ago, and I still remember that.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
I remember the kids that crowd when they got hit
hit by a pitch. I remember the kid that was
a little beach. I remember all this stuff that's I'm saying, listen,
that's when you were a little older. My son he
turned five this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
He's four.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Don't forget those he literally just turned five two days ago.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
That said.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
One of the first things I did at the first
baseball practice, all right, kids, we got ten little boys here.
All right, we're gonna make two groups of five. We're
gonna stretch out, and then we're gonna do a relay race.
My son was the one kid that's like, I don't
want to, and I'm like, all right, kids, get over here.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Hey, Ben, listen, I'm not only your dad, but when
we're here, I'm the coach, so you gotta listen. Nope,
how do you react when your kid is the non
listener and you're the coach Is it because you're his
I can't stop down the practice and be like so.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, like would he do that for another coach? Or
is just because you're his dad? Don't know?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
And I'm like, didn't being a coach?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Am I distinct now that my kid's not going to
get the discipline because he thinks he can get away
with it.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, like maybe your assistant coach is the guy that
tells him, hey, Ben, you know, because he's not listening
to you because you're his father, and he doesn't listen
to you at home, so why would he listen now?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
And by the way, just just for the record of
coaching the girls and boys, the.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Way, does he wear pants to practice? Because every time
I see Rich's son, kid's not wearing pants. I just
his little under rus all the time.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I do want to point this out with the little boys,
you know, we we act like everyone's the same little
boys and girls act different.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
I coach.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
You know, the girls are starting to become more competitive now,
but these five year old little boys are maniacs.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
They are hard to wrangle.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
And all the parents gave me, every parent like pulled
me side like hey, it's okay if you yelped kid
and discipline him. He's a little maniac boy, So how
do you discipline your own kid when you're coaching. We
don't need to harp on it, but if you want
to hit me up at rich Davis, I'm all ears.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Because I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
My suggestion is you have an assistant coach, right, Yeah,
he has the guy to enforce like, hey, can I
imagine has a level of respect for his teachers and
other parents and adults that he doesn't for whatever reason
for you And I get that that's just how kids
are sometimes. So maybe it's the assistant shop to tell
your kid, hey, hey, Benny boy, do a lap or whatever.
(36:37):
And obviously the other kids are giving that respect to you,
so you're covered though.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
What I wanted to do so badly, but I didn't
give him a wedgie slap him out, yeah, give him
a little by the way. I did want to do that, yeah,
but I didn't.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
I know you.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I wanted to decide to give him a little slapping
that and the helmet and know what else I wanted
to do. I went to Starbucks afterwards, and I want
to be like, Ben, you want that cake, popp And
I was I want to buy one and did it
in front of him.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, honestly, I think that's a great idea, you know, Yeah,
he doesn't get a gain Raider slurpee on the way home.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Whatever you're doing, your thoughts, because I know a lot
of dads and moms in that coaching world. We'll take
your feedback, and of course we'll tell a little NBA,
NFL and for the great Dan Patrick right here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Thanks again to Mark Ramsey and Danny g. Danny g
are super producer, Ramsey's on the ones and twos, and
thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation for putting up with
us as radio fans. We know you expected to hear
Dan Patrick, but instead you're getting the Dan Patrick Patrick
from Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Hopfull you like us, and by the way, as you
play some Third Eyed Blinds, never let you go. I
like this song, and I asked Cavino just the other day.
Oddly enough, we're talking about athletes and ban and just
notable people where you're not quite sure where others view
them Like, I'm a big Third Eye Blind fan, and
I'm like, Cavino, where.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Do you rank? I got the perfect rank Third eye Blind.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
You gotta take the best and worst of that era
in that genre, right, So they're not quite like if
I'm gonna tell my daughter she's fifteen.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, Third Eye Blind had a pretty good career.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I saw him live at Rutgers with smash Mouth when
I was in college.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
How big were they, Dad.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Well, well they weren't match Box twenty, but they weren't
Tonic either, right there in the middle like under Matchbox twenty.
But that's how you would assess it.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
It's a good one.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
You like that?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Hey, you like me now again, I'm Cavino. That is
Rich Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We're gonna
be here for day two of the Dan Patrick Hatrick tomorrow,
so join us.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
You know what it's like, there are bands that you
could compare to borderline hall of famers, Like you know,
there's some some bands much like a first ballot Hall
of Famer, and then there's people like no way they're
a Hall of Famer. But then I say, like like
Carlos Beltron Carlos Peltron. Like Carlos, it's like third day
(39:11):
blind great, But is he like right, he had had a.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Real stellar career. He's not quite Ken Griffy junior. But
he's not, give me like a mediocre outfielder.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
He's not. It wasn't Prett Gardner or anything.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
So you'd say sometimes that you gotta, uh gotta think
where does this person sit?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
And Brett Gardner was really good, but he was a
great player. Carlos Pelton, you know what, let's go to
Greg and Florid. We'll take one call on this. He
has some advice on uh.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
I was saying a lot of parents now are entering
the coaching world because spring sports are starting, a lot
of soccer, a lot of baseball, a lot of softball.
And I said, of all the kids, my kid was
the one that didn't listen at the first practice.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Well, it would be embarrassing if he wasn't four just
turned five and it's T ball. But I was like, yo, buddy,
you got to listen to dad.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Because I'm the coach here. And no, yeah, that's kind
of embarrassing. Greg.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
When all the other parents are they're watching, it's kind
of feel a little bit.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Of in the way.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
You also don't want to raise your voice because then
you look like the other parents are like, oh yelling,
who goes off to handle?
Speaker 3 (40:26):
And man, this guy's crazy. Greg and Florida, what's up?
Speaker 7 (40:28):
Man?
Speaker 8 (40:29):
Yeah, I got your brother. Listen. I've been listening for
a while and real quickly, I think Elvis and Michael Jackson,
we're bigger than Michael Jordan's number two.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
With your kid.
Speaker 8 (40:39):
With your kid, here's what I would do. I would
get something that he loves. I don't know, whatever it is,
that's whatever coming bear, whatever heck you loves the most.
All right, have that for the prize for the winner.
Have him sit out and make him watch and how
it's fun it is, and they get its favorite surprise
to his favorite treat. They get these out of it.
(41:00):
If he starts acting up again, make them watch it,
make them have a good night. Probably want to come back.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
In, bro.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
I want to pull all these parenting tactics. And sometimes
my wife is too soft about it. I'll be like,
you know what, let's uh, let's get his sister or something.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
And not him.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
She's like, that's spiteful and mean. But I'm like, now
I learned a lesson. Yeah, I agree with both both
the caller and you.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Like on the way home, he he doesn't get a
cake pop and you explain why why because he didn't
run and he didn't listen to you a practice and
you're the coach.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah, you know, it's as simple as that.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
I told, I said, I this is this is as
strict as I went. I said, if you do that again,
no cake pop. And for the rest of the day,
I want to take away your your Pokemon toys or something.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, I mean you gotta, you gotta somehow somehow. But so,
coaching is a whole world, and it's sent its on
and it's going to provide for lots more stories in
the world of Cavino and Rich.

Congrats to Jaron, that little kid who made that one
hundred thousand dollars shot.

next president, and he he laughed. Yeah, he waved to

(01:12):
V I n O. Very good, so follow our podcast.
COVID probably comes up first, but we don't want to
talk about that. Covino and Rich follow our podcast. We
appreciate it. And this is day one of three the
Dan Patrick Hatrick and we're filling in for Colin on
the Herd on Friday, but we're on two to four
(01:33):
on the West normally Monday through Friday. Busy week. We'll
be in Philly on Thursday. That should be fun. I'm
excited about that. So he's gotta still be buzzing. I
gotta I gotta ask.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
Because you know, the NBA All Star Weekend overshadowed by
as you said, Cobra Kai SNL fifty, you know, Hockey
US Canada, three fights in the first like ten seconds.
There were so many things that said overshadowed NBA All
Star Weekend. One thing, I didn't hear your match, which
means you haven't started yet.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I saw Andre Agasson and Steffie Grant want a pickleball tournament,
say that was pretty cool.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
All these things overshadowing SNL's fifty all the highlights you're seeing.
But there's a new White Lotus season, and I know
we love the first two seasons.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I gotta ask.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
They're saying Arnold's kid, Patrick Swarzenegger's in it, and he
goes full frontal For the right price?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
Would you for the right price?
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Would you let it all literally hang out on streaming services?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Are you asking me the collective view? Do you know
me for twenty something years? You think I would actually
do that for the right price? Danny j for the
right price for my family? No thanks? Oh, he says,
you're embarrassed. It's not about being embarrassed. It's like, you know, hey,
I just don't feel like doing that.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
You'd rather the search come up as COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Yeah, I think it's the I would just blame it
on AI anyway. That was it me AI AI, That
was a special effects.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I just always think that's a very, very interesting choice
because there's very there's so many unnecessary times that you
see like man junk on shows, you gotta think the
dude agreed to it, like and you can say the
same about women.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
But I'm prosthetic because that's usually the first Google search.
Is it prosthetic? Yeah, I'm asking you. I didn't have
it on pause all night.
Speaker 4 (03:33):
Like you if you watched. Just just know that that's
a choice people make. Thanks for the junk warning, though,
I don't think the world needs more of that. I
don't think it's needed in the storylines. I don't need
just the way that reporter didn't need it from Brent
Farv and girls on the internet didn't need it from
Rich back when he was dating. Yeah, seriously, you know
fun fact never sent one obvious, never even not even
(03:56):
to my wife. I just always thought it was like
a weird move. I was like, you know what, am
I gonna put a top hat on it? Like it's
President's ac Yeah, yeah, dress him up. Look at the time,
time to transition.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
Whoa, whoa.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
I did want to speak about President's Day for a second, Cavino, sure,
because I mentioned.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Earlier I would not be president.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
President Taft, there's the high school out here, taff high School.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
You do not want to make a president out of me.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
President Taft not only got suck at a bathtub, which
is like the worst rumor you could have it about
yourself if you were one of the forty five Leaders
of the Free World. Oh yeah, the fact I either
got suck at a bathtub.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Taft also the first president to throw out a first
pitch at a baseball game.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
To tie it back into Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
In nineteen ten, Washington Senators President Taft throughout a first pitch,
and it set of ties into my weekend as well,
because I'm starting to coach baseball for my son now right,
And when you see the other dads that are helping out,
it's a really simple question, is throwing a baseball? Because
(05:12):
we've all seen presidents do it. Always impressed with George W.
Bush after nine to eleven. I saw the Queen of
England do it. She had a like a mean like
screwball or something. One of my favorite seams in Naked Gun.
Oh you mean the real Queen George W. Bush with
the bulletproof vest on throwing a strike after nine to eleven.
(05:34):
Donald Trump's got a good arm, Obama's a lefty. Impressive,
Jimmy Carter. The list goes on and on of presidents
that I look at the way they throw, and I'm
not I'm not trying to sound chovnes.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I picture honest, abe I picture Abe Lincoln up there,
like the big unit, like Randad Johnson, tall and lanky,
probably had a heater.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
You picture a blanket with a big unit. No, oh,
sure he liked the big out like Randy Johnson. So
I gotta ask. It's throwing a baseball the number one
easiest way to size up another grown man and decide,
I know how you were raised.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
If I see a guy, I mean, you can bring
it back to that full frontal question you had earlier
if you want. That's an easy way to size people up.
That's true, But your wallet is another one.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But I'm saying I feel like when I see other
grown men. Danny at the Super Bowl, we had a
football on set. Every so often someone would come by.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
You'd be like, hey, what's up you?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
It was like, you know, when you have a football
or any ball of that matter laying around, some idiot
guy's gonna grab it and start having a catch, right,
But when you see another grown man throw a ball
or is in your mind is it taking a jump shot?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
It's throwing a baseball of a ball, not a football,
just a ball, not ball could also apply. But not
everyone is king spiral like me? Are not everyone you know,
could throw a football with great accuracy, like this guy.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
Cove Oar Afternoon Slash Evening video producer Spotty Boy.
Speaker 7 (07:12):
Yeah, he had the ball at one point.
Speaker 6 (07:14):
I tossed it to him and he pushed the ball
like a discus.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah he pushes.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
No, but the way you would throw with your opposite
hands right that I'm a righty, So picture me throwing
lefty like you know what our video guy spot.
Speaker 7 (07:32):
And he's very talented at other things.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
No, it's a great indicator of your childhood, but it's
not an indicator of like the type of man.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
You are or are you a good But it is
an indicator.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's an indicator on how you grew up for sure,
and did you play sports or not.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
It is an an indicator of the type of man
you are because it could be a great man but
not be able to throw baseball. I'm not saying that
type of man is a good thing. I'm just saying
you could indicate. It could indicate what type of man
you are.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Not necessarily because I see a lot of professional athletes
that can't throw a baseball and I'm baffled.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
But what I'm saying, if you see like our buddy spot.
If he were to throw you a ball by by
him just tossing you a handball, football, baseball, anything, your
first instinct would be like, oh, you didn't play sports
as a kid. Is if you toss someone a baby,
how many?
Speaker 2 (08:20):
If there was an NBA stars or professional athletes get
on the get on the mound, then embarrass themselves.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I saw Kevin Durant throw out a pitch that at
a Giants game.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
It's not it's not one hundred percent fool proof and
accurate because guess what, last I checked, Durant has more
NBA points than you ever scored.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
No.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
Right, So it's not a it's not a one hundred percent,
but it is a great assessment, like you can tell
a lot about that person.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
I'm not saying it makes you a better man. But
what I'm saying is if you're across the room from
someone and there is a if let's say you're across
the room or in the yard at a barbecue or cookout,
if there's a ball next to another girl man and
you go, heye, throw that over here him picking it
up and throwing it to you, I think within five
(09:05):
seconds I could tell you about your childhood.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
It's not even about how they throw sometimes it's about
how they catch it too, if they snap at it,
stab at it like, stab at it like Tom Cruise does,
and he, you know, he's pretty good. Like these things
bother me in movies too, because you could see, like
like what actors are never put a sport in their
life like a mum. As much as I love him,
Mark Paul Gossler, Zach Morris say by the bell. He
(09:29):
was in that Fox TV show Pitch, and we talked
about it. He was trained at everything he was. I'm
just not a he's not a baseball guy.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
He could tell. The famous story would be Charlie Sheen.
He was throwing high.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Eighties in Major League and you could see he had
some decent mechanics for back then. But is it a
great indicator? Yes, because and do you make an assessment
that's not necessarily accurate? Yes, because I often think back
to President George Bush on President's Day on nine to eleven,
when Jeter famously said, you know, don't bounce it, and.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Perfect strike from the mound.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
He threw it from the mound, didn't bounce it, perfect
strike on a really high pressure situation when the world
was watching. And you know what, and I you know,
there was a part of me. Remember he had a
really sketchy reputation back then, right as as a buffoon
(10:25):
of sorts. Yeah, and you gained like an ultimate or
a different sort of respect when he saw that.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
And by the way, right, and that's what you kind
of give someone. You give him a little nod of acknowledgement,
like a guy could throw.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
He had a pretty pretty normal challenged And the reality is,
whether you love him or hate him, Donald Trump has
a good arm.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
He does. I can tell you and catch on the
White House long.
Speaker 4 (10:47):
When you when you see Trump throw Mo ri Vera, right,
when you see Trump throw baseball, football or anything, You're like,
all right, think the guy grew up playing sports. And
I think again, it doesn't make you a better guy. No,
you could tell a lot about it. I'm just saying
on President's Day, when you think back to Bush or
Obama or Trump or you know, like I said, Taft
was the first president to ever.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I like, is it something else?
Speaker 7 (11:11):
Though?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Is something? Does something Trump? Pun intended? Does something Trump
the throwing of a ball?
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Is it?
Speaker 4 (11:19):
It?
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Could it be a shot someone should like I saw
over the weekend, I saw Skip Bayless hitting three point shots. Yeah,
he's acknowledging his form because he was sinking every shot.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But its formal.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
But I didn't like it's form. But is there something
else though? That is a great indicator of their skill level?
This is this is a question.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
Let me let me of their men, let me package,
let me package and phrase this question on President's Day.
Speaker 7 (11:46):
Yes, when we.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Think back to how oddly good most presidents are throwing
at a first pitch and shows, how is this taft
pitch that you mentioned the first one ever? Yeah, I
don't know if it's recorded, that'd be the longest time ago.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
There was a video of its over the weekend, Rich.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
I saw a video on TikTok and they were talking about,
you know, the Kendrick Lamar performance at halftime and whether
you liked it or not. They're like, you realize how
far we've come? Do you know what the first halftime
performance was? It wasn't a musical act. And I'm waiting
to see him, like what was it? He's like, it
wasn't a music line, Like was it a magician or something?
Speaker 4 (12:21):
Was that woman that balances plates at the NBA game?
Speaker 8 (12:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (12:23):
Yeah, was it like.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Some sort of gymnast, like you know, a guy on
a unicy called march marching band.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
What was it?
Speaker 5 (12:31):
He was like two bozos on jet packs, like.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Like from Kenny Powers, but they were in water. They
were like you have suspended in the air. Two guys
like demonstrating an airpack, like flying in the air. I
was like, man, that's weird. So I wonder what this
presidential first pitch looked like?
Speaker 3 (12:51):
Is my point? Did taf throw a perfect strike a screwball?
We'll never know.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
But what we do know is if you had to,
if you had to tell someone about their childhood, my
answer is I could tell you everything about your childhood.
You know, other other than maybe like your relationship with
your parents, but I could tell you how you were
as a kid based on how you throw a ball.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Back to me, I agree with this assessment when Rich
and I agree, it's fact. But that's why it baffles
me when I see a professional athlete and he can't
throw a ball, like how one dimensional were you as
an athlete? That's always and maybe that's the reason for
their greatness in their in their sport. And this is
not because you see guys in the NFL and the NBA.
(13:39):
You see fighters they can't throw a baseball sometimes and
you're like, wow, you were really committed to your foul
shops and it doesn't mean you're you're better or worse Again.
I wish I could play the guitar, but I don't
got those skills.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I never learned. But I see when I you know,
you can see a guy find.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
Of a baseball is pretty basic though, because you would
when you attribute this to like Caveman days of throwing
a rock, like you didn't you didn't figure out the
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
You're saying my daughter is seven and a half of
my son is five, just based on what they know
up to this point in t ball or softball. When
they get older, already at this age, I think they'll
mechanically not look weird. So it just means if you
throw a ball to me like h, I'm like, yo,
(14:27):
never one time did you play in your neighborhood?
Speaker 3 (14:29):
What are you saying there that maybe like daddy wasn't there.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Daddy wasn't there to take me to the fair?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Want to have a catch?
Speaker 9 (14:38):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:39):
Yeah, what's the assessment that they just didn't they didn't
Rough House on the streets and play with football. That's
what you're really assessing, Like you didn't play little league.
Speaker 7 (14:48):
They didn't.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
They they're really not. You're not getting.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
A great understanding of who they really are, but you
have an understanding of where they were or who they are.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
But he sure.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
Just note that when you see these, when you see
celebrities or politicians throw out a first pitch, or like
Cavino said, if you're watching a movie, you could tell
what actors played sports, and you could tell what actors
were so involved.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
In the arts.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
They're like, yeah, this guy's in a sports movie.
Speaker 3 (15:20):
I get this.
Speaker 4 (15:21):
He's never thrown a football, he's never shot at basketball.
You ever see someone that's never played basketball shoot a
basketball and they use both hands and they sort of
like push it like muha, like that that you did?
Your dad never shoot hoops with you? Did?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
Your mom never take you into the park?
Speaker 4 (15:37):
Like yeah, oh yeah, yeah for real? So your thoughts
at eight, seven, seven, nine to nine on Fox, just
on President's Day, just to remind her that it was taft.
If you want a little trivia, if you want to
be a smarty pants at your office, Taft the first
president to throw out a first.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
Remember when Carlton took that long shot on the court
in Fresh Prints?
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Exactly? They always say the worst, the worst sports. I'll
never know the movie, but it was a basketball ending
of a movie where a girl travels and holds the
ball for like a minute and there's like eight seconds
left on the clock.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
I know that clips movie viral all over the place.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
All right, well, hey, let's you know what, let's take
one phone call on this now, we'll take the rest
when we come back. Let's go to fish in PA.
Fish throw throwing a baseball?
Speaker 9 (16:26):
Man?
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Is that the ultimate like ability to describe how a
guy probably grew up?
Speaker 10 (16:31):
Probably fifty I'm fifty seven. It's probably a generation link
now because back in my day, I mean, I would
say ninety percent of the kids played baseball.
Speaker 11 (16:41):
Yeah, now it's different.
Speaker 10 (16:43):
Even my daughters who's twenty five and twenty two. At
seven years old, I had to go back and try
to figure out how to teach them how to throw
and catch. And some could catch but a lot, or
some could throw but a lot could not catch. So
I think I think that's a lot to do.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
A lot of kids nowadays, you know, they choose soccer,
So it might what he's saying is is true.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
It might change or it might have changed over time.
But I still think.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
That that's that's one of those things. Well, you were
just saying, right your your daughter has like her first boyfriend.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Yeah, he's a runner, so I imagine he probably doesn't
throw very well.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
It's the bother your daughters are a boy that can't
even throw a bit. I don't know. I have yet
to have a catcher. It might have to.
Speaker 4 (17:31):
All right, you know, we'll take your feedback on this
ridiculous thought. Next right here, and we're gonna give away
a Covino and Rich stainless steel Swiggy. We're gonna do
a little trivia shack Diesel trivia. As we're into the
NBA season. You know now that All Star weekends behind us,
Is this when we really start paying attention? Is this

why the enforced weekend is so poor? Yeah, and it
(17:55):

Let's take a few more phone calls on this first pitch.
Not necessarily about first pitch? Is today's President's day? Taft
first president to throw out a first pitch? And I said,
it's very easy to assess another grown man, another grown man.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
Okay, but how he throws a ball?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
How about this it's not an accurate assessment because plenty
of pro athletes get out there and he embarrassed themselves.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Right, but you do make a judgment. I think that's
safe to say.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
It might be the judgest I yet, right, right, it
might not be accurate, but you're judging. For instance, for sure, Mike,
who runs this place? What's up, Mike?
Speaker 9 (20:32):
Party people in the house.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
Mike.
Speaker 4 (20:34):
The first time you came in the studio when we
first met you a couple of years ago, and you
threw me the football that was sitting in here, my
instinct was, oh, Mike played sports as a kid, Right,
you could assess another grown man by how he throws
the ball.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
I went to you, guys one hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (20:48):
In fact, you know, Steve likes to call himself the
King Spiral over there.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
I mean, in all fairness, people call me that.
Speaker 9 (20:58):
So here's the deal. When when I first heard that,
I'm like, you guys are ridiculous. There's no way. So
we throw the football around a little bit, and you
know what, King Spiral, bro Marino Spiral sex to me. Hey,
I was a gym class hero. I could throw football
for sure. I mean because I played in the streets
(21:18):
as a kid growing up. Let's uh, let's go to
Sean and York, Pa, what's up?
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Sean? Coming on wretching for DP.
Speaker 12 (21:25):
I'm good. I agree with that one hundred percent. Actually,
I say it goes a lot sooner than that, because, like,
I'm a coach for my kids, and that was my
biggest thing was giving kids high five. You can walk
up to a kid and you put your hand out
giving high five, and you smack your hand like you
know hard. You're like, Oh, I want you on my
baseball team.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
That's you. You are so right.
Speaker 4 (21:45):
There are times I'm starting to coach a little kids.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Some buddy, some kids like what a lot? Like a
high five?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Little guy? What is your dad?
Speaker 3 (21:54):
And not teach you at a high five?
Speaker 4 (21:55):
Bringing in pal. Uh, Let's say hi to Jerry and Tampa. Jerry,
what's up buddy?
Speaker 13 (22:00):
Hey, how you guys know what today?
Speaker 3 (22:02):
Jerry?
Speaker 4 (22:02):
Do you agree that you could assess someone by how
they throw a ball?
Speaker 12 (22:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 13 (22:06):
I believe so because I've had you know, I grew
up playing baseball and every when I was little, and
you could pretty much tell Yeah, some of the guys
that were hanging out playing music and the guys that
were playing the ball, So yeah, I could tell you.
Speaker 4 (22:21):
Jerry, Jerry, it's the guy doesn't need to be piled
on because he's had a rough enough month after the
Super Bowl halftime show. But Drake, he wasn't that video
where Drake's like I played ball as a kid, Yes,
I have, and and then he like swings a bat
and throws a ball and You're like, no, Drake, you
did not play balls?
Speaker 7 (22:40):
Who did not? You did?
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Team Ketchri Gole mar now uh, Jerome and South Carolina?

Speaker 7 (22:55):
Phones?
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Draw hot?
Speaker 3 (22:56):
What's up? Drum? Where do you go?
Speaker 14 (22:58):
The young generation had just a budget orton you anymore?
Let them go play soccer. They didn't even want to
play football anymore. And Shock looked dumb in their half too.
He looks quality club his way to look so dumb
and sound dumb. He wanted to give this Carter one

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Jim in La. What's up.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Jim Yo, yo yo.
Speaker 11 (23:28):
You gotta hear me.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Okay, yeah, you're on what's up?
Speaker 7 (23:30):
Man?
Speaker 13 (23:31):
Okay, I got it?
Speaker 11 (23:33):
You guys ready, yes, sir, this is out. I grew
up South La Long Beach, Laquid Area, a little great town.
They had a great parks and rec program. And when
we played sports. Guess what they did, fellas what's that?
Speaker 12 (23:46):
You got it?
Speaker 11 (23:46):
You're right on the topic. So that sports you would play,
you would get on a team, and you would last
all three sports through the year. So you can start
with baseball, go to flag football, and go to basketball,
all on the same team. And the one metric they used,
they gave you a baseball. You were at the white
line and you threw it for distance. The first frank
(24:07):
got through the farthest. The coaches gathered a week later
and they drafted the kids based on how far they
threw the baseball.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
It's it's basic. And we will wrap it with Alex
in North Dakota. Then we'll play a little shack diesel trivia.
Give you some prizes. Alex wrapped us up, man, Alex. Alex,
Oh there he is, Hey, what's up? Buddy's worried about him?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
What's up, Budd.
Speaker 10 (24:32):
I totally agree with the you know, judging a man
by how you can throw, but also if you go
back to like Little League.
Speaker 14 (24:38):
When you're playing.
Speaker 12 (24:39):
He also judged the team by how they.
Speaker 14 (24:41):
Were warming up, how they were throwing.
Speaker 8 (24:43):
Were they throwing all over the place, and yeah, they're horrible.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
You know, it's so funny.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
And Covino and I didn't grow up together, Alex, but
we have the same memory that I think every kid had,
which was when you went to an opposing high school,
the minute you got off the bus. When you watch
the other team warm up, if their uniforms look cool,
if they field is manicure picture, the picture was popping
the glove on the side. You're like, oh, no intimidation factor, Yeah, doubt.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
When they would do their infield drill, you know, could
the short stop play with sort of arms?
Speaker 3 (25:12):
Did they have?
Speaker 2 (25:13):
You make those assessments. You make those judgments. It's just
how it is, whether it's right or wrong. Rich is right,
all right, Well he props the taft he had. He
clocked in at ninety seven. Back then they said that, yeah, yeah,
ninety seven, mop prour heater.

All right, so give me the what would you do?
This is my what would you do? I feel like, uh,
I feel like I'm clearly and definitely not alone. And
it's that time of year where kids sports for the
for the spring are starting up, right.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
My daughter's got.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Her softball, my son starts t ball, and I get
wrangled to being a coach, and I can jokingly complain
about it, but I'll be honest, I do love it.
I do love teaching these little kids the sport of
baseball and softball.
Speaker 3 (31:24):
It brings me joy. I know a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (31:26):
You feel like a lot of people can feel that
way about any whatever their sport is, soccer, basketball, flag football,
tackle football. When you could pass your love of a
sport onto the kids. It really is a good feeling.
So while I jokingly complain about it, I love it.
I don't love the fact that, you know, my new car,
the car my wife and I got, has now become
(31:48):
just storage for teas and catchers, equipment and bags.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
And you know, I mean, isn't that why you got
that giant truck SUV whatever the hell and a big
giant it's you know.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
We got that third row.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
Yeah, just so we could throw down the chairs and
just have teas and equipment and bats and barrels and
band It is what it is. You know what happens
when you have two little nose pickus. You become sports parents.
And I love it. Again, who doesn't love sports? We're
here on Fox Sports Radio. I am the coach from
my daughter's softball team and my son's te ball team.
(32:25):
So far, Like I said, I love the joy of
passing down.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
Whatever little knowledge I have.
Speaker 4 (32:31):
I feel like I know baseball pretty well and I
feel like I'm like fun time coach. I bring out
the bluetooth speaker, I bring them little treats. I try
to be like until we get competitive, which my daughter
is now becoming competitive, becaust it's eight years.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You want them to feel good about the sport and
you want them to have fun. You want to have
them associate the sport with fun, now with negative few.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
I put the message out there that listen first and
first mostly listen parents. I want your kids to have fun.
This is sports. Sports are fun. Some of my best
memories playing sports as a kid. Father's seven and four.
So it's not like, yeah, you're that competitive. So I
was like, And secondly, though, I do want to teach
your kids some discipline, and I want them.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
To put the fun and fundamentals, and.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
I want them to learn the game but also learn
how to win the right way and lose the right way,
you know, trying to teach them all the right things.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Here's my John kinones. What would you do? What do
you do when your kid.
Speaker 4 (33:32):
Is the pain in the ass on your team and
you're the coach, Cause you know, when you want to
like like you're instide like good over here?
Speaker 2 (33:41):
You know what's embarrassing about that? The other kids will
never forget that? Like I could still picture my coach's
son crying because you know, he got hit by a
pitch or he was the brat like I remember him saying, like.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
You sual you, We're gonna give me a Nintendo game.
Speaker 2 (33:59):
I for I got, you know, frying and kicking his
feet at home plate like and this is, you know,
years ago, and I still remember that.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
I remember the kids that crowd when they got hit
hit by a pitch. I remember the kid that was
a little beach. I remember all this stuff that's I'm saying, listen,
that's when you were a little older. My son he
turned five this past weekend.
Speaker 3 (34:18):
He's four.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Don't forget those he literally just turned five two days ago.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
That said.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
One of the first things I did at the first
baseball practice, all right, kids, we got ten little boys here.
All right, we're gonna make two groups of five. We're
gonna stretch out, and then we're gonna do a relay race.
My son was the one kid that's like, I don't
want to, and I'm like, all right, kids, get over here.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
I don't want to.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Hey, Ben, listen, I'm not only your dad, but when
we're here, I'm the coach, so you gotta listen. Nope,
how do you react when your kid is the non
listener and you're the coach Is it because you're his
I can't stop down the practice and be like so.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, like would he do that for another coach? Or
is just because you're his dad? Don't know?
Speaker 3 (35:07):
And I'm like, didn't being a coach?
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Am I distinct now that my kid's not going to
get the discipline because he thinks he can get away
with it.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Yeah, like maybe your assistant coach is the guy that
tells him, hey, Ben, you know, because he's not listening
to you because you're his father, and he doesn't listen
to you at home, so why would he listen now?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
And by the way, just just for the record of
coaching the girls and boys, the.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Way, does he wear pants to practice? Because every time
I see Rich's son, kid's not wearing pants. I just
his little under rus all the time.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
I do want to point this out with the little boys,
you know, we we act like everyone's the same little
boys and girls act different.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
I coach.
Speaker 4 (35:48):
You know, the girls are starting to become more competitive now,
but these five year old little boys are maniacs.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
They are hard to wrangle.
Speaker 4 (35:55):
And all the parents gave me, every parent like pulled
me side like hey, it's okay if you yelped kid
and discipline him. He's a little maniac boy, So how
do you discipline your own kid when you're coaching. We
don't need to harp on it, but if you want
to hit me up at rich Davis, I'm all ears.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
Because I wanted to.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
My suggestion is you have an assistant coach, right, Yeah,
he has the guy to enforce like, hey, can I
imagine has a level of respect for his teachers and
other parents and adults that he doesn't for whatever reason
for you And I get that that's just how kids
are sometimes. So maybe it's the assistant shop to tell
your kid, hey, hey, Benny boy, do a lap or whatever.
(36:37):
And obviously the other kids are giving that respect to you,
so you're covered though.
Speaker 4 (36:41):
What I wanted to do so badly, but I didn't
give him a wedgie slap him out, yeah, give him
a little by the way. I did want to do that, yeah,
but I didn't.
Speaker 7 (36:49):
I know you.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
I wanted to decide to give him a little slapping
that and the helmet and know what else I wanted
to do. I went to Starbucks afterwards, and I want
to be like, Ben, you want that cake, popp And
I was I want to buy one and did it
in front of him.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
Yeah, honestly, I think that's a great idea, you know, Yeah,
he doesn't get a gain Raider slurpee on the way home.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Whatever you're doing, your thoughts, because I know a lot
of dads and moms in that coaching world. We'll take
your feedback, and of course we'll tell a little NBA,
NFL and for the great Dan Patrick right here on
Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Thanks again to Mark Ramsey and Danny g. Danny g
are super producer, Ramsey's on the ones and twos, and
thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation for putting up with
us as radio fans. We know you expected to hear
Dan Patrick, but instead you're getting the Dan Patrick Patrick
from Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 4 (37:48):
Hopfull you like us, and by the way, as you
play some Third Eyed Blinds, never let you go. I
like this song, and I asked Cavino just the other day.
Oddly enough, we're talking about athletes and ban and just
notable people where you're not quite sure where others view
them Like, I'm a big Third Eye Blind fan, and
I'm like, Cavino, where.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Do you rank? I got the perfect rank Third eye Blind.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
You gotta take the best and worst of that era
in that genre, right, So they're not quite like if
I'm gonna tell my daughter she's fifteen.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Yeah, Third Eye Blind had a pretty good career.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I saw him live at Rutgers with smash Mouth when
I was in college.
Speaker 3 (38:25):
How big were they, Dad.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
Well, well they weren't match Box twenty, but they weren't
Tonic either, right there in the middle like under Matchbox twenty.
But that's how you would assess it.
Speaker 3 (38:38):
It's a good one.
Speaker 12 (38:39):
You like that?
Speaker 2 (38:39):
Hey, you like me now again, I'm Cavino. That is
Rich Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We're gonna
be here for day two of the Dan Patrick Hatrick tomorrow,
so join us.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
You know what it's like, there are bands that you
could compare to borderline hall of famers, Like you know,
there's some some bands much like a first ballot Hall
of Famer, and then there's people like no way they're
a Hall of Famer. But then I say, like like
Carlos Beltron Carlos Peltron. Like Carlos, it's like third day
(39:11):
blind great, But is he like right, he had had a.
Speaker 2 (39:16):
Real stellar career. He's not quite Ken Griffy junior. But
he's not, give me like a mediocre outfielder.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
He's not. It wasn't Prett Gardner or anything.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
So you'd say sometimes that you gotta, uh gotta think
where does this person sit?
Speaker 2 (39:34):
And Brett Gardner was really good, but he was a
great player. Carlos Pelton, you know what, let's go to
Greg and Florid. We'll take one call on this. He
has some advice on uh.
Speaker 4 (39:44):
I was saying a lot of parents now are entering
the coaching world because spring sports are starting, a lot
of soccer, a lot of baseball, a lot of softball.
And I said, of all the kids, my kid was
the one that didn't listen at the first practice.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Embarrassing.
Speaker 4 (40:01):
Well, it would be embarrassing if he wasn't four just
turned five and it's T ball. But I was like, yo, buddy,
you got to listen to dad.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
Because I'm the coach here. And no, yeah, that's kind
of embarrassing. Greg.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
When all the other parents are they're watching, it's kind
of feel a little bit.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Of in the way.
Speaker 4 (40:20):
You also don't want to raise your voice because then
you look like the other parents are like, oh yelling,
who goes off to handle?
Speaker 3 (40:26):
And man, this guy's crazy. Greg and Florida, what's up?
Speaker 7 (40:28):
Man?
Speaker 8 (40:29):
Yeah, I got your brother. Listen. I've been listening for
a while and real quickly, I think Elvis and Michael Jackson,
we're bigger than Michael Jordan's number two.
Speaker 14 (40:38):
With your kid.
Speaker 8 (40:39):
With your kid, here's what I would do. I would
get something that he loves. I don't know, whatever it is,
that's whatever coming bear, whatever heck you loves the most.
All right, have that for the prize for the winner.
Have him sit out and make him watch and how
it's fun it is, and they get its favorite surprise
to his favorite treat. They get these out of it.
(41:00):
If he starts acting up again, make them watch it,
make them have a good night. Probably want to come back.
Speaker 1 (41:04):
In, bro.
Speaker 4 (41:05):
I want to pull all these parenting tactics. And sometimes
my wife is too soft about it. I'll be like,
you know what, let's uh, let's get his sister or something.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
And not him.
Speaker 3 (41:15):
She's like, that's spiteful and mean. But I'm like, now
I learned a lesson. Yeah, I agree with both both
the caller and you.
Speaker 2 (41:25):
Like on the way home, he he doesn't get a
cake pop and you explain why why because he didn't
run and he didn't listen to you a practice and
you're the coach.
Speaker 3 (41:34):
Yeah, you know, it's as simple as that.
Speaker 4 (41:35):
I told, I said, I this is this is as
strict as I went. I said, if you do that again,
no cake pop. And for the rest of the day,
I want to take away your your Pokemon toys or something.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Yeah, I mean you gotta, you gotta somehow somehow. But so,
coaching is a whole world, and it's sent its on
and it's going to provide for lots more stories in
the world of Cavino and Rich.
Speaker 3 (41:57):
We'll be telling more.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
We're actually gonna head over into our Patreon now, so
check us there everything at Covino and Rich. And again,
hope you had a nice weekend, nice Valentine's Day weekend,
nice President's Day day off. And you know, props again
to Mac mclung with his big win, his three time
three pe champion. Hey, the Chiefs didn't get it, but
Mac mclung did.
Speaker 3 (42:19):
That's a three p we were all hoping for right
Maca McClung.
Speaker 2 (42:22):
Congrats to Jaron, that little kid who made that one
hundred thousand dollars shot.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
He'd beat Damian Millard over.
Speaker 7 (42:29):
He was swimming in cash.
Speaker 2 (42:30):
The dude dove into a pile of cash, and I
thought about it, rich, pretty dope fantasy to live out.
Speaker 4 (42:36):
I was gonna say, shy, have a pile of but cheeks.
Money's second best. We'll see you later there, baby, are
you in the promise?
