Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Cavino and Rich and for Dan Patrick live from the
MLB All Star Village in Atlanta.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
It's great to be here, man.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Always fun tak you some Baseball All Star stuff. Oh hell,
I was just talking to our friends at MLB and
you really were, Bro, you're such a schmoozer. Listen, you
guys got to see this guy in action.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Let me. I don't know if I should high five
of them or punch him in the face. Let me
tell you this though.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
They want you and I after the show to go
inside the fan fest and battle it out batting practice, pitching, everything.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
And I'm like, yeah, let's go.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I want to whoop your ascid this stuff at coven
on Rich later on you can see it. You know,
it's embarrassing that you still get like like you're so
competitive like that you want to beat me in those.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Things, Like you know who showed me you were such
a weaning growing up? No, you know who's the second?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, you know who loses their competitive nature when you
subconsciously like, well I can't win.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I'll say it's.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Childish because this is the this is the field I
play on now broadcasting for Dan Patrick.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Yeah, I'm trying to win here. You want to still
hit the league home runs? You right? The field he
plays on this is this is where I played away, not.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
The batting cage. You're weedie all right. So CNR in
for the Great Dan Patrick. We are live from the
MLB All Star Village and most cars on the road

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Uh oh, better get Maco. Now. That might be the
lamest quote ever.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
This is the field I play on now, Uh, that
might be lame or the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I'm trying to win here. You're trying to hit home
runs in beer league softball? Give me a break.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
So or we're two buddies that are at the All
Star Village. Yeah, and I want I can't wait, But
you want to beat me. It's like, dude, why don't
you beat me when it mattered?
Speaker 3 (01:45):
Like you want to beat me?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Now, let's beat some other shows and broadcasting. That's where
my mind sets at. Now, well, you know what to
wrap up, as Danny said, put a little bow on
our Phillies or cry in conversation Castianos, schwar Berg, Trey Turner,
they just seem a little butt hurt that some of
their teammates did not get voted in yet Miss Rowski,
(02:06):
who's played five games in his big league career, though
he looks lights out.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
What a small sample size to be an All Star.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
But it's all good. I'm glad they care. It shows
me that they care and that it still means something.
And hey, you're giving a young stud a shot. Jacob
Ezrawski was given a spot on the NL roster for
the All Star Game on Friday because cub starter Matthew
Boyd was unable to pitch on Tuesday. And now they're saying, man,
it's gonna be awkward the next time. Bernie Brewer and
(02:35):
the Philly fanatic cross paths cause Phillies are talking smack
that it's a joke. Trey Turner said, what a joke?
And Costianos is saying, what is this, Savannah bananas? And
we're saying, hey, everybody has a different path. Now it's
his time to step up and prove he's a superstar.
But again, it should be on stats, and I think
the best should be there. But if Sken's made it
(02:56):
with eleven starts and he's a superstar, now let's thanky
for the miss Maybe we just got a head start
on Miserowski.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I just happen to open up x Twitter and uh,
I don't even know if I follow this guy, but
I'll give him a shout out. Chuck Friedman. Apparently he's
a guy that works with the Brewers. Put out there
he goes sounds like some MLB players are upset. Misserowski's
an all star. How many times have the Brewers been
absolutely buried because they're in a small market. They finally
get a bone thrown their way with this young kid,
(03:25):
and people are mad about it. He's a star. The
Brewers have a young star player. Baseball is kind of
embrace the hell out of this guy, which they should.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Let's just enjoy it. Who cares?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Exactly and again he has to deliver and gives you
more reason to tune in, but has caused some drama.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Where do you stand?
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Hit us at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio,
and of course iowa Sam back at the studio on
the phones at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
is this heaven in for No, it's Iowa, Sam oh,
so mye from Atlanta. We move on from baseball, even
though there's such a great buzz in the air where
he for the All Star Game home run derby tonight
(04:02):
will be bushwhacking on TV.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Look out for us. Let's talk a little Lebron.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Lebron even has to infiltrate the All Star conversation. We're
here talking baseball and.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
Lebron is still in the headlines. Well, now you applaud
do you say beat it? Dude?
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Last night the restaurant you and I were at Covino,
I overheard people talking Lebron.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh, before we get to Lebron, can I ask you
and spot if you got to tell us what other
movie you watched on the airplane. I hate all of you,
by the way, before we get to Lebron and baseball, Yeah,
my ad these bays and so roll with me a second.
Rich finally saw the Sandla on the flight here. He
wants to tell us about it. I uh, I met
(04:51):
an old high school friend for dinner last night, her
and her husband.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
So you guys did dinner without me? Yeah? I go
to the.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
Hotel gym last night. I just think it'll work at
him because knew we're gonna be busy this week. I
see Covino and I go, how is dinner? And he
goes bro it was great. He was like, everyone's so
nice and there's a great Booti's here, all right, those
are great observation.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
What did you eat?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
And he goes, yo, Danny had this sweet fried chicken.
Spot had a shrimp and grits. I had a chicken
caesar salad. I go, I know you're always on a
healthcack southern Southern.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
You gotta taste this chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Great seasoned southern grilled chicken I've ever had.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I just feel my opinion.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
First of all, mind your own business, you busy body
buttons but inski. But we also had a delicious cheesecake
that I shared with Spot.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
It's like you worry about what you eat. Danny fried chicken.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Well the Spot collar green collar, greens, Cavino. You're you're
in a new city and you opt for chicken caesar salad.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
How could that be great? Did you eat it? I did?
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Zip your mouth, zip your pie hole? You know, like
that's a fantastic choice.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Spot. I mean, of all, I mean I don't like grits.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Can I say that out louder like, Oh my god,
I just got all these mean modes.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
But your boy doesn't do grit do you know? At
the bar?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
I don't do it at the waffle house. I don't
do grits. I enjoyed my dinner and that's all it matters.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
You really are, my cousin, Vinny. Worry about yourself. What's
a grit?
Speaker 2 (06:24):
People that have to worry about what you're doing. Worry
about what you eat, what you know, what you know,
what you ate yesterday?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
But I don't care. Put it that way. Look at
this Lebron James headline there, thank.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
You, thanks for bringing it back you anyway, let's go
to Lebron who has a Chicken Caesar South. Anyway, this
guy is saying I saw him at the gym last
night and then questioning.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
What I hate.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Clearly I care about what I'm eating. It all goes
downhill with all these work trips in business meetings. That's
how you become a big slob. This is where this
is where you binge a little. Anyway, that's what you
could do Lebron James again, regardless of all Star break,
football is about to start in two months Lebron does
something crazy or there's speculation it's going to make the
(07:07):
news and headlines. Because as we said before, SGA was
MVP and won an NBA title.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Who cared?
Speaker 2 (07:13):
I don't think a lot of people because the stars
of the NBA are still these aging veterans, and the NBA,
I think has a problem of who is the next
young stars to emerge. Maybe it's Cooper Flag, maybe it's
Wemby that is yet to be known. Maybe it's all
of them. But right now, Lebron James is still the
biggest name of the NBA. I don't care what anyone says.
Well again causing drama right here in the middle of
the All Star Game, all Star break and we're talking Lebron,
(07:37):
four teams have apparently reached out to him. Those teams
being the Mavericks, Warriors, the Cavaliers, and the Clippers.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Imagine he went to the Clippers.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
From the Lakers to the Clippers or joined I don't know, Kyrie,
Cooper Flagg and who whatever.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
The Mavericks. I mean, the Mavericks have a pretty stacked roster.
Now would we have a different opinion and thought for
every team?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
We could even speculate that, but I'm here to tell
you again eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. If
Lebron leaves the Lakers, that is the weakest move ever. Dude,
play out your contract, call today and right off into
the sunset. I'm not telling anyone how to live their
life or their career, but dude, come on you restaurant. Yeah,
(08:20):
but you're gonna leave the Lakers to wrap up your
career where chasing another chip? Do it with the Lakers,
bro Bronny's still there. You're gonna leave again. And that's
the weakest sign of any superstar. When you look at
their little reference, their stats, and you see that they
(08:40):
ended up here, then there and this and that.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
That's you know, their career just you know.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
That's why I hate what Aaron Rodgers did and how
he's ending his career. It's their career and their legacy
to tarnish. But Lebron, you're better than that. Win one
in La with the Lakers. The only one I really
understand is Cleveland because you're going back to your home city.
You have history there, maybe unfinished business, so I understand it,
(09:05):
but it's still weak as hell. Say Lebron leaves the Lakers.
It might be great fodder and great for the NBA
and great conversation, but that's the weakest move. I, much
like everything in life, disagree with you completely. I think
Lebron James is a unique generational player that goes against
(09:25):
these rules. I agree a lot of times, like so
he goes to Dallas and what he's chasing a ring
that looks lame. But if if he goes, he becomes
a party lame. Lebron James isn't the type of guy
that leaves a team. They the team comes to him.
It shows you that he's he's not that guy anymore then,
and I know he's unhappy, and he's the guy that's
(09:49):
contractually capable of wanting a trader leaving the other some
of the other people are locked up.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
I look at it this way. I get it.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
In other sports, it always does look weak when a
legend Jerry Rice is like you know, Niners Raiders, and.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
Then you're like, oh, yeah, he was on the Seahawks, yea.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Or Emitt Smith while he was slightly productive as a cardinal.
You see some of these legends, you know, Shaquille O'Neal
ends up playing for every color of the rainbow on
every team towards the end, it does look weak.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
What's different, though, is look at Lebron's numbers. Hey great,
That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
The difference is Lebron is still an impact star player,
and there's a couple.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Say, like the ramp, like the stats are still a solid.
I look at it this way.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
You go to the Mavericks and then you become the
veteran with some young guys you can make a big impact.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
You go back to Cleveland, that's.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
A team that won fifty plus games off the radar,
were way good. They just failed in the playoffs. So
Calves are ready. I think the Warriors, him and Steph
we've all daydreamed about, like, yo, well they ever played together.
That's sort of a cool thought, and I think the
funniest one of all. If you want to talk about
a guy that could nail a legacy, as if he
already did it, imagine you don't want to hear this,
(11:02):
but imagine he went Crosstown to the Clippers and somehow
they won. Imagine Lebron James is the guy that gets
the lowly Clippers to finally win.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
I just don't see the Lakers trading him cross town.
I know, but that would be can you a week?
Speaker 2 (11:17):
We're talking Lebron James here, man, I think can another
team and the Lake Grado who was the who was
the guy from nine oh two one O that we
had on our show back in the day, the.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Lake Grade Luke Luke Perry.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Lou Perry one time told us that he drove a
station wagon or like some minim or something, and and
Commune was like, yo, man, that's when you're driving your loup.
Speaker 3 (11:39):
Perry goes, yeah, but I make it cool. He's like,
you know when that got cool? I said, when he
goes when I got in it? And you know he
was a cool dude. You know you have recipes. You know.
It would make the Clippers cool. I think if Lebron
James chose them, that's corny as corny as hell.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
The Clippers seem forever cursed. I mean it sound to
the two Clippers fans listening right now, but Ben Taller
and Clipper Downard, Yeah, it's the Donald Sterling curse. They
always find a way to lose. It's they're not the Lakers,
I don't think are interested in having that dynamic going
on in their same City right.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Well, well, you know, at the back of what you said,
though rich Clippers fans would find it cool.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
I just think it's corny for his career and for.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Basketball lak Danny, you would probably find it a little
funny in that all your friends that are Clippers fans
have spent years bashing Lebron, so.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Like see that part of it, That part of it
would be great, like Ben Maller, Monsei, some of our
co workers.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
The few Clippers fans, you know, the funny part would
be how they would have to accept the fact that
Lebron's a Clipper. But hey, your thoughts, I get it's
Baseball All Star Week NFL right around the corner.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Yet Lebron could he be on the move?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Your thoughts at covin on Rich As we're in for
the Great Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show week days at nine am easterns six am
Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wap Oh.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Yes, CNR in for Dan Patrick, and we'll keep this
seat warm.
Speaker 3 (13:10):

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Fox Sports Radio Nation is the Dan Patrick Hatrick Live

be here Tuesday and Wednesday as well. I hope you
had a great weekend. I'm Steve Cavino. That is Rich Davis.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Now this is the ultimate baseball hotspot.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
You could be in on the excitement Capitol One All
Star Village throughout tomorrow. Head to the Cobb Galleria Baseball Fun,
live entertainment, interactive games.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
I looked insaw it. It's awesome. Oh yeah, so cool.
Speaker 5 (13:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Like as you said before, if you're a kid, this
is like your dream come true. So hey, parents, bring
your kids, buy tickets and all the good stuff at
All Star Game dot Com. I'm gonna cut one of
these little nose pickers in line later to do some
batting practice.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
For sure.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
That's a legit. I think we're now beat it kid.
I'm taking some swings. Well, you're also the guy that
catch a foul ball and not give it to a kid, Well,
because I never caught one. Yeah, but I'm hoping to
catch one tonight. Hey, big reminder, we're so thrilled. If
you're new to Covino and Rich We're on Monday through
Friday from two to four on the West, five to
seven on the East.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
We're huge baseball fans.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
This experience, All Star Game, everything just brings out the
kid inside.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
And I never caught a home run.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Or foul ball or anything, and we're hoping to maybe
snag one at Home Run Derby tonight. And we tell
you it's one of our odd commonalities. I've gone to
hundreds of baseball games. I used to have like a
partial Mets season ticket. I mean, we worked for the
network we worked for We had a TV show on
s n Y, so we would get tickets all the time.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Danny, It's not.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
That I got an opportunity and missed a foul ball.
It's just pure coincidence, like lightning hasn't struck in that direction. Meanwhile,
you know some ascunt like that Zach Campbell guy, what
does he catch.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
A he knows where to go? Fa not even in
your row.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Well, the closest was like a row away and I leaned,
but it just I couldn't. I'm like it just that
feeling of like it's coming towards me.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
It's like you're the chosen one for the moment.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
One years this video this somewhere and if you search
Covin and Rich you've seen us at home run derbies.
Our video producer Spot had the ball go off his
fingertips into the bullpen left field.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
It's on YouTube somewhere. It might be in fact, if you.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Go to YouTube if you're bored at work, or if
you have time later, YouTube Covino and Rich home run Derby.
So this isn't our first rodeo. It's our first time
here broadcasting for Dan Patrick. Actually have you been to Actually,
I've never been to it. So when you go to
a rodeo, you'd actually say this is my first roadio.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
Yeah, but we've been to other home run derbies. Right.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Our whole point always was just to get on TV.
So anytime a home run is hit tonight, we're gonna
do the same thing.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
We're gonna be bushwacking. So watch the derby and look
for two idiots doing their best.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Whoa look for the bushwhackers in the outfield, and we're
out there representing before we move on and get into
Jake Cutler, Well, Jake Cutler, huhu. I wanna shout out
all the affiliates, Thank you guys for having us.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Let me kiss some ass.
Speaker 2 (16:17):
We appreciate you guys, everybody running our show. Back at
the studio, especially our guy Iowa Sam on the xylophone.
Everybody listening in the future on the iHeartRadio app. Thank
you for checking us out again. We have a bonus
podcast too over Promised Look Up Over Promised with Covino
and Rich. You could watch it on Fox Sports Radio's
YouTube page. And just thanks for hanging out with us today. Man,
(16:38):
We're super pumped to be here. And if you get
a chance, well stop buying.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
Say hi. Two quick notes.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Before we get into this Jay Cutler story, which I
think is polarizing, it could possibly be so Okay, get
ready for some fighting as we hit the All Star break.
And I'm not just saying this to kiss ass to
our friends at MLB Baseball. Right now, we keep talking
about how it's hot. The standings in one division in particular,
(17:05):
have to have people excited. Your Al East, the Red
Sox go into the break. They're the one team that's like,
why are we breaking? They've won ten in a row.
They went from a couple games under five hundred to
one game behind the Yankees.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Ten in a row.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
By the way, I believe it's the hottest streak, the
longest streak heading into an.
Speaker 3 (17:22):
All Star break, so props to them.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
That's minus Devers, by the way, minus Devers.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Will I'm Will Clark Devers Devers.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know, sometimes you got to make those tough decisions
to enhance your team.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
It looks like it's working through the benefit.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
When they got rid of no Ma, they ended up
winning the World Series. You get rid of Devers and
you win ten in a row. So, uh, the Blue Jays,
the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Rays are all like.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Within five games of each other. I know.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
It's the only division that sort of stinks is the
AL Central gets the Tigers are so good and no
one else is over five hundred. But then you go out,
you got Seattle and Texas is around five hundred.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
Houston still great.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
But in the NL, Phillies and Mets a half a
game apart, Cubs and Brewers are a game apart, and
the Padres and Giants are in striking distance to the Dodgers.
So baseball is we're in a good spot. There's gonna
be all the right teams, as you say in the postseason,
So we're excited as we hit the halfway point, and
(18:24):
you and I with our stupid little bet Mets Yankees. Yeah,
we have one thousand dollars bet on who has the
better season, the best record, and one hundred.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Dollars for every game. Yeah, right now the Mets are
a game and a half better. All right, so i'd
oh rich eleven bucks.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yikes, yeah, lost, But you could feel the excitement, rich
everything you say, you could feel here at the fan
experience at All Star Village.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Just a great time for baseball.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
No. Jake Cutler, Jake Cutler is getting torched. He is
getting lit up on social media. Former NFL quarterback. As
you know, as I said to you on the car
right here, I said, the only thing cool about Jay
Cutler is that he used to sleep with Kristin Cavaliery and.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
They were married and they had kids.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Yeah, but I'm saying like, and by the way, I
agree with you because she's as the creepy old guy say, smoke,
sh she's I mean smokes. She's a definition of like.
I feel like she's hotter now than she was back then.
She was always hot, but she's like something about her.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
The name drop.
Speaker 2 (19:25):
We partied with her back in the day. And of
course she's a good look at me and if you
like she is like way hot. Now, if you like
middle aged hot women, Christy Cavaliery not to sound creepo
is up there. You gotta give J Cutler credit for that.
Good for him, man, again, that's all I give him
credit for. For him and he was in the NFL.
Come on, that's true. But he's sort of a putts
(19:46):
the guy. He's slaying it, but he's getting slaid on
social media. Social media is torching x NFL QB J
Cutler for killing an endangered species on an African hunt. Now,
I know there's a large amount of people that are
probably like, that's right way to.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Go, day boe evil in the Alabama.
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I mean, hunting's is sport, dude. My wife is from Texas.
Her family hunts, and I have a million friends that
are that. I have nothing that's hunting. This is not hunting.
This is he went to Africa and he killed some
cool ass looking figure horns for the fun.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
It's a giant sable antelope and it's like a majestic,
beautiful animal. Proud of himself. He is proud of weedy.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Again, it's something that we don't understand. So I do
want to express our ignorance when it comes to this.
It's not something I would be excited about, something rich
wouldn't be excited about. But it is clearly something he's
excited about because he's posting it. People are saying their
understanding is that the giant sable is critically endangered, and
(20:55):
it's majestic, it's beautiful, and this ask clown Jay Call
is hovering over like he's so proud of himself.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Remember the old macho man clip, I'm so proud of myself.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
He looks like he's proud of himself for killing a
beautiful wild animal in Africa.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
So it's not like there's a like listen, well, here's why.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
It's not the same as like, oh, in Texas has
a major deer population issue, go go hunt some deer
or hunting to make jerky or meat or this or that.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
This is this is for the sport. This is just
the guy killing for sport, which is sort of weak.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
If he asked me, and as a guy that lives
under the spotlight, he has to know that moves like
this are going to be highly criticized, no doubt, Like
when you post a picture, like when we post something,
when I post something on my personal page, I'm lucky
if anyone likes it at all or says anything at all,
or at least one comment. When you're Jay Cutler and
(21:49):
your ex's Kristen Cavalieri and she's got her podcast talking
about everything, and he has all these NFL fans and
people that just want to hate.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
On the guy.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
You have to know when you post a picture of
you with an endangered species that you just killed on
an African hunt, you're gonna get criticism. Now, well, someone
make it makes sense to me, it's sort of where
I want to start because to me again, quail hunting,
duck hunting, deer hunting, There's so many things that I
could get behind.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And I understand hunting is a sport.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
I uh, when I first met you, you were a
big buck hunter on the Arcade game.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I mean that is try. I would get pretty Hambard
at the bar and played buck hunter. I was good.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Danny g You guys remember that game. It was either
that or top golf, you name it.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
I slated. This kid was buck hunted. But Danny hunting
is not the issue here. You know, what is it?
This guy think he's hunter Hurst Helmsley.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
I'm having a hard time understanding why anyone thinks going
to Africa and killing a majestic, cool looking endangered animal
is cool.
Speaker 3 (22:50):
This is not.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Again, he's not in his dear blind hunting it. This
is a different story. So I'm so confused. Most of
the people burying this guy right now on social media
are in agreement that, yeah, we get hunting like this
one dude. I'm reading some comments here. I'm a hunter
and a meat eater. My issue is killing me in danger.
(23:12):
It seems obvious, but trust me when I tell you
Jake Cutler knows what he's doing. It Like, maybe he's
so sick of his ex getting so much attention. He's like,
I got it.
Speaker 3 (23:24):
Horn. You know, it'll get the social media kids buzzing.
If I post this bad boy right now. He might
not even kill it.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
He's like, I'll pose right in front of it, just
to get everybody to maybe maybe he was dead already.
And he's like, yeah, well, you know what, maybe that's
how we get some press rich. You know, did you
see those dudes feeling it for Dan Patrick? Yeah, Cavino
is hunting elephants.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
You would have posing in front of elephants. What's the deal.
So maybe if you want to round people up.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
That's the movie you make, because I mean, it just
seems so obvious that it's not going to be received positively, right,
So unless you see another way, we're totally open to it.
Eight seven seven ninety nine. Oh, Fox, tell us why.
Speaker 3 (24:07):
This is cool?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now, Wes in Vegas hit us up and he goes,
it's like a bucket list animal for people that do that,
and he goes, yeah, de beegs and he goes, I
mean it, he goes, if you read further, which there's
no real true details yet, but if it was on
a game farm and not in the wild, that's also
a different story.
Speaker 3 (24:29):
But still it's sort of sport. But not at that point.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
I again, well, this particular giant seable, they're saying in
all these articles that we're reading about it. Rich and
I aren't on the Animal Planet Network. We're not experts here.
They're saying it is an endangered species. So if that's true,
I don't care what the exception is. And we're not
the type to be again hating on hunters, we understand.
(24:56):
And by the way, my future father in law is
a hunter, so of course I'm not told smack. He
listens to Fox Sports radio from Idaho. What is it
ninety nine to nine out there in Idaho. I'm not
talking smack. I'm just giving you the scoop. So even
if he was gonna display the kill like I just,
I don't, I don't understand.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
I understand the backlash. That's what I understand.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
So your thoughts at eighty seven seven ninety nine on
Fox not hating on j Cutler by any means that
was rich.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
All I'm saying it is a nogg and scratcher. I'll
leave it at that. The thrill of sable antelope hunting.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
There's a guy to it if you if you google
it it just if Danny, if you find the more details.
Speaker 3 (25:38):
To me, it's just I also think there's two layers
to this. Doing it is.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
One thing, proudly posting about it, knowing the feedback.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Like I said, maybe that's a great way to stay relevant.
Speaker 2 (25:50):
There's gotta be something deliberate about him either being maybe
just you know, is he that blind to the feedback
he'd get, or is he that much of that prown
Is he an esther where he's like, oh, I know
this will get people riled up. It's possible. It's very possible.
On a side note, I'm about to blow some people's minds.
(26:12):
You mentioned duck Hunting in the actual game duck Hunt,
which we all had, some had separately, some had with
Super Mario Brothers when you got your ne s.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Some played at the arcade.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
I'm sure there were only two games I ever used
the Nintendo Gun for, and it was Hogan Zally and
duck Hunt. If you can name a third or that
was it. Hogan Zally remember that one and duck Hunt.
The dog would come brow about when we were little
kids at the arcade.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
Star Wars.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Okay, but I'm talking about the ad actual gun at
home Nintendo gun. I feel like was everyone had it,
some had the orange one. It was only used for again,
I think duck Hunt and hogan Zally. Here's what you
may not have known up until it went viral recently.
If you had the player to controller, you controlled the
(27:05):
ducks and how they moved, so you were dog ducks
from the person.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Shooting, ripped open the game, didn't read the instructions, Yeah,
started playing.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
So player one would be shooting right.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Player two or whoever had the controller, could control the
actual ducks that were flying around. That's how the game worked,
Endo power. You know, I called the Nintendo hotline last week.
You know, I uh, I can't say I knew that.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
But when the extent of our knowledge is I've never
got hunting in my.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Life, not just that Terminator salvation in the arcade with
the big rifle.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
I remember that. Yeah, great, under they were great.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
When when that's the extent of our knowledge, you have
to understand Fox Sports Radio Nation where we're coming. I'm saying,
I'm I'm a guido from New Jersey who never hunted anything.
But uh, you hunt that hair product, but hair product
and the tailor him, and you know Jersey Booty and
Rich Davis is from Long Island, New York.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
We both live in LA.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
It's not our life, it's not our sport. But it's
not even just us questioning this. We're questioning. Let's make
this clear. We're not hating. We're just speculating. It's social
media that's scorching this dude as we speak. Yeah, I'm
you know, listen, I think Jay Cutler does clownish things.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
Again, I said his ex is hot, Christy Cavalier. I
follow her.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
I just don't understand the mindset of killing a majestic
African and endangered species and then posting it. It's almost like,
you know when you do certain things and you're like, well,
I'm not really I'm not proud of that. It's almost
like we all do things that you wanting into it. Yeah,
like there are things we all maybe have a guilty
pleasure for, but you wouldn't necessarily lean into it. I
(28:52):
feel like he's doing something and leaning into it like yeah,
I killed some majestic antelope, like and you.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
Want dangered antelope? Yeah, you know what.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
But he does have a reputation of not really giving
an s. You know, you always see that picture of
him looking sleepy like a Baldwin.
Speaker 3 (29:07):
Brother with a cigarette in his mouth.
Speaker 2 (29:08):
Right now, You've always seen that like tired looking sort
of demeanor of his, like I don't care. Maybe he
just doesn't care what people we know. We would meet
Jay Culer and we'd get along and be palaces. But
as of right now, I look at it like what
a weird move. I'm sure he's a cool dude, But
that's the story and we're just speculating.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Montana called in right now, that's a good statement.
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Oh yeah, you got eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
What are your thoughts start there?
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Jeremy and Montana, Yo, Jeremy, your thoughts because again we're
not We're not against hunting by any means. I just
I just can't understand why you'd want to hunt antelope
that's endangered in Africa.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
What's up? Man?
Speaker 6 (29:47):
So if it's endangered, then it's obviously protected. There's probably
a tribe that is in charge of conserving the population
that's left. Right, So once you get an old man,
oh that's been around breeding the small herd for a
long time, you have to get rid of that mail
but not just in breeding, in breeding, in breeding, and
(30:09):
so then the tribe will sell sell that hunt and
to make money for the tribe. And I'm sure they
eat the animal as well, but that's that's why they
would get rid of at least at.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Least you gave us a reasonable.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
We bring it up, and I wonder, do is uh
you put that antelope meat on those nice Hawaiian rolls
we talked about earth?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Oh, yeah, I wonder if it's delicious.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
I looked it up and it said that antelope meat
is good eating as long as it's not overcooked.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
We w is it that most things, though, can.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
I will say, there's a lot of people who disagree
with you and eat their food well done, like Coveno.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Are you guys worrying about what I meant? Worry about
what you eat? I get the antelope sandwich well done?
Speaker 2 (30:53):
And nobody wants an inbred antelope, I guess, or Sable
whatever it is. Are you the only person you think
that's ever said that phrase? Yes, I dad know why
because I often see that Whittaker family. You guys, ever
see the Whittakers on social media or the documentary about
the Whittakers, those inbred people?
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Oh my god, I keep seeing that. You know what
I'm talking about? Or No, there's a family, there's a
famous inbred family, and.
Speaker 2 (31:17):
People have done stories on them, like to get their
whole deal because they're all inbred and related and they're
all kind of wacky and weird, and they're all over
my algorithm too. If that's what you're getting in the
Sable community, yeah, put a stop to it.
Speaker 3 (31:29):
I understand. All right. Let's go to Joe in Delaware.
What up, Joe? How are you man? Joe? Joe? Hold
one second, I think the Atlanta drum line is passing
us hang on one second, Joe.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
We're live from MLB All Star Village and there's some
sort of ruckus going on.
Speaker 4 (31:53):
I'd like to alert all the affiliates down the line.
We have a drumline invasion.
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Who is that Alex inhal It was that Tito Flint?
What's going on? Yeah? Wow, you hear this? This is
lie that musical guests, what's up?
Speaker 5 (32:17):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Again, just adding to the excitement from the top galleria
and it's Comino orders in for Dan Patrick. What hey
the Atlanta Braves drum line against all the super fans.
Speaker 3 (32:32):
Well, looking good fellas. You guys are great, but go bets.
All right, uh Yankees? All right? Now we could go
back to Joe in Delaware. Joe, what's up, buddy? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (32:45):
I was thinkually just gonna say the same thing that
a lot of times when they do these hunts, you know,
it's a lot of money that goes to the tribes,
and they also eat the animals too, like once they
get hunted. So that's basically a lot of times that's
what goes on with that.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Let me let me ask you this though, and again
this is me from just wanting to know more and
not knowing.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
Is that the truth or the spin that people want
to put on these stories.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Like, listen, man, I get it, but these things need
to be done, Like is it really a big urgency
to kill the male in this situation?
Speaker 7 (33:16):
I mean, I'm not sure about that much. I just
know that a lot of times because I know people
have done those hunts and the meat is always donated
to the tribe.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Hey, listen, I'm sure there's an explanation.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
I just think it's so we guess Loo, because it
also looks like something like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (33:32):
I'm sure, I know, I know hunting is not easy,
but no, it's like you, pimping ain't easy, bro, Pimping
ain't easy. Hunting is to me, I don't know. Well,
you know what, I'll wrap it up with Phil in
New York.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Yo, Phil, what's Upboddy?
Speaker 3 (33:49):
Phil's gone? Hey, what happened to Phil? I hope he's okay. Phil.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
And by the way, speaking of inbred animals, you gotta
look up the inbred family, the Whittaker family of West Virginia.
If you don't know who I'm talkingalking about, it's mind blasting.
But we're Covino and Rich live from Atlanta again. Check
out our podcast search Covino and Rich, it's a pleasure
to be in here for Dan Patrick on a special
All Stars them.
Speaker 3 (34:12):
Yeah, man, they're wild, dude. They their own language. You
didn't need to say.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, I remember them in the water Boy. You didn't
need to say inbread.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
I could tell from just looking at the photo. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
So if that's what's going on with Sables, if they
don't put a stop, then maybe J.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Cutler is a hero. We don't need Whittaker Sables. No,
you don't exactly exactly right.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Well, hey, if that's the truth, and that's why we
explore these discussions. Yeah, that way, we don't know some
crap we learned it, not hating, just speculating and giving
you the story because everybody's hating on J.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
Cutler today.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
By the way, every time you start saying some stuff
I disagree with, I wish I could just have a
drum line come in and over.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
What was that again? Covino?
Speaker 2 (34:54):
So hey, we got more Cavino and Rich into the

I just got a Max McGuire rookie. You mean Mark McGuire,
No Max? Yeah? I think you mean Mark No Max?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Yeah, Max was drafted. But now we're talking to Shawn
Watson NFL.
Speaker 3 (37:25):
Well, I'm a bigger fan of Randa Watson.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
I mean he's the most famous of all the Watsons,
but based on his relationship with Jimmy Haslam, who was
at his wedding, Jimmy who made a mistake or admitted
he made a mistake in that contract.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Professionally, he still likes him.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
Personally, Yeah, they're hanging in and that's the thing. Professionally
and personally. You had you had a multi tier question,
which I loved. Well, the first one was obvious. Does
does anyone believe in Deshaun Watson? I mean, I mean,
I just feel like, can your talent have dropped off
that much that quick? Does he put no work in?
Because people fall off cliffs man. You hear it all
(38:02):
the time. One day you got it, one year you
got it, and then you don't.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
At least on the field.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
In his defense, when he came back from the injury,
he looked decent and then he got injured again. Yeah,
and the reports have been that he has looked good
with his rehab.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
So there's at least that, you.
Speaker 2 (38:18):
Know, from a football standpoint, I don't want to root
against him, right, I'm always rooting for people to have
a great career.
Speaker 3 (38:27):
It's just his past makes it tough.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
Yeah, I mean, listen massages and you know, not delivering
on the field. There's like a multitude of reasons why
people will hate on this guy personally and professionally. And
speaking of personally professionally, that's tier two of your question.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
Can you separate those things?
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yeah, what's more important your personal relationship or professional relationship.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
I've always struggle with this.
Speaker 2 (38:54):
I'll tell you why, because professionally what we do, I
feel like our show is better and I've always felt
like we've had something special with our show and Danny
when you joined our show, when we were moved to Fox,
I feel like if I get a closer relationship with
the people I work with, we're better because what you
create more of a bye. Right, The boring answer is
(39:15):
both matters. And you know what, some people don't really
understand that. Some people keep it too professional and not
enough personal. And that's why I don't know. You're always
a number. That's that's just the truth. When it comes
to budget cuts, You're always just a number. But you
have to be a little far ahead of a little
(39:36):
more ahead of the game if you have a personal
relationship as.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
Opposed to a guy who doesn't know.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
But I there's a part of me that just thinks
I want to surround myself with people I enjoy, right,
and that's why, Like I was, Sam, like, we work
with you every day, but I was, Sam's been to
my house, We've had drinks around my fire pit in.
Speaker 3 (39:56):
The yard, like I want because I feel like on
a team, you guys have done the running man.
Speaker 2 (40:01):
That's true, Like at work and at home, I feel
like if I have a relationship with you, we're gonna
work together better.
Speaker 3 (40:08):
But then it also creates awkward.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
Moments to them that if you butt heads with somebody,
it's like, oh, man, Like all right, let's put let's
use Iosam as an example, right in io, Sam, this
is only an example.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
Because you're going to fire him right now. No, no, no,
But we think he's great at what he does.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
But it's not just the technical aspect of what he does,
pressing buttons in the studio and running the show. You know,
he brings a good vibe and we like him personally,
and that's part of it.
Speaker 3 (40:33):
Right. Let's say there was someone.
Speaker 2 (40:35):
Better than him, more qualified technically, Yeah, that you wouldn't
want to work with him because they were technically better, Right,
you want to work with Sam, because you like him personally, correct,
So what holds more weight?
Speaker 3 (40:48):
So think about that.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
What's more important your personal or professional relationship? Because Sam,
regardless of how professional you are, even if you were
the best guy at running the show and on the boards,
we like you.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Personally, Thank you, but you're good. Even if you were.
Speaker 2 (41:03):
Like the fifth best, I'd still want you because I
think you're a nice guy. No, no, no, And it's
not a knocket what you do. We're just saying we're
using you as an example. That's the truth, Samson to
get in his head like they don't think I'm.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Good at what I do, You're great at what you do.
You know what?
Speaker 2 (41:15):
I will say this though, you find these things out,
and I think everyone could attest because I'll give you
the example of how we find the answer to this out.
You ever lose a job, you ever get let go
fired budget cuts, you moved to a new job on
your own accord, you will quickly find out who was
your friend and who wasn't. Oh yeah, absolutely, We worked
at ESPN. And there's a guy that worked at ESPN
(41:38):
named Sean Riley who was our friend then and is
our friend now. He was a guy that hired, and
he was the guy that had to make the tough
phone call that was like, guys, I don't want to
let you go, but budget cuts and this and that
and they're forcing my hand and like we still will
meet him for dinner or.
Speaker 3 (41:54):
Coach coach ball games in the house. Coach, get over
here real quick. You got time, we had time for you.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Are you sure you're not you're not HOBNOBN with Julio Franco.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
Hey, we'll get back to our ESPN story in a minute.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
But again, you never know who's walking around All Star
Village here at the comp Galleria. And we've had him
on our bonus podcast, over promised. He's super famous. Let's welcome.

top of this, but how do.
Speaker 3 (42:31):
You miss that? It's great to meet you in person.
Speaker 5 (42:33):
It's great to meet you in person.
Speaker 3 (42:34):
Better question, by the way, had a boy? I had
a boy? I better question?
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Were We actually debated this because when we were coming
over here in the uber Comido goes, yeah, your buddy,
coach ball game. I saw that he was hanging out
with Julio Franco with his big drum, and I go,
does he travel with that?
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Did you have to check that or what specially? And
here's the deal.
Speaker 9 (42:52):
The bag, the travel bag is on its last leg,
so this might be the last trip for it. But yeah,
the congo, we've added enough there maybe ten signatures, fifteen signatures.
Julio Franco's on there. Just got Fred McGriff o, Dusty Baker.
I mean for a coach, Dusty Baker is the Shangra loss.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
So I am.
Speaker 9 (43:13):
I'm fired up. We're gonna have to get a new boat.
Gotta get a new conga.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
Dude, you need one because it's full of signatures. Dude,
how do you infiltrate? Obviously you've caught fire with your videos.
Your life is surrounded by baseball.
Speaker 3 (43:25):
How did you get so in the mix? Dude, I've
seen you with everybody.
Speaker 9 (43:29):
Hey, I'm gonna tell you it's other people like I.
Obviously you know I've had great mentors along the way.
I've worked hard. I have a wife that has has
been very supportive. But a guy named Joe Buck opened
the door with MLB. He flew to New York twice
met with the commissioner, said, watch this guy coach kids.
He needs to be part of your playball program. And
(43:51):
that kind of spawned everything else. You know, that spawned
the sand La Tour and me working with all these
great So I gotta say thank you to him and
then all my mentors that that taught me how to coach.
In my twenties. I was a bad coach starting out,
as most of us can relate. I believe it, but uh,
you know, I never stopped coach ball game.
Speaker 3 (44:11):
I noticed that you get that mutual respect.
Speaker 2 (44:13):
Now you're fans of these players, but they're fans of
what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (44:17):
How cool is that? It's great?
Speaker 9 (44:18):
And and just to you know, run camps with Barry
Zito or Peter Moylen or Jay Bruce and they're now
they've got kids and they're like, you know, I've got
a World Series ring, but I don't know how to
teach my five year old son how to catch.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
So I you tell me alligator vacuum, alligator vacuum right,
any animal references things that rhyme catch, crazy.
Speaker 3 (44:40):
Things patented and copy written. Because he's stealing all your
stuff with his I'm coaching it's okay.
Speaker 5 (44:46):
He's read it like wildfire.
Speaker 9 (44:47):
I do have some sort of copyright Moier thing going on.
That's not really my bag, but I know it's there.
Speaker 2 (44:55):
I teach him that I love something else coach ball
game does, which is give each kid a nickname. By
the way, does that work or what? I had a
question for you that you might think. It's an interesting thought.
So I coached. I just got done coaching the All
the All Stars. They're they're five you, but there's an
All Star team. How can you explain how these kids
were closer in three weeks than my regular team was
(45:17):
the whole year.
Speaker 3 (45:18):
I'm they bonded on a level like we had pool parties. Well,
that's what it's about.
Speaker 5 (45:22):
I mean.
Speaker 9 (45:23):
I talked to Dusty Baker. I said, why is connection
to the hearts so important to you? And he said,
it's everything. Right when you get in the big moments,
in those high leverage moments where the game is on
the line and and you've built this brotherhood, it's huge.
So as a coach, you got to prioritize that, prioritize
building trust with the with the people, not the player,
(45:43):
the person that's I mean, Dusty Baker.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Said that, hey, speaking of nicknames, big Dumper, am I
right there it is?
Speaker 5 (45:50):
And we had and and and I'm I'm.
Speaker 9 (45:52):
Working the playball park and there's like every other nickname
is I want to be Big Dumper. And then his
little brother's like, I'm a little dump. So funny, how
rally is a blaze by the.
Speaker 3 (46:02):
Way, coach ball game? Is it weird if you if
you gaze at it a little bit, because I mean.
Speaker 5 (46:07):
For it now, I mean it's there, It's there.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
I love the Michael K. Zooman.
Speaker 2 (46:11):
Oh so funny with coach ball game here at Atlanta
com Galeria Cavino, and Rich, by the way, has like
way better hair than I noticed on social media.
Speaker 3 (46:22):
Cover that up.
Speaker 5 (46:23):
Appreciate it, man, that's nice of you. And we have
a few salutes.
Speaker 9 (46:26):
We got the Brad Pitt salute, the John Stamos salute,
so you know we're getting there.
Speaker 5 (46:31):
I have to go in a minute.
Speaker 9 (46:32):
I've got a coach another camp with Ryan Klesko's coming over.
Hall of Fame Release Smith is coming over. But yeah,
I got I got two minutes bringing on.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
I got one last question for you. Rich turned me
on to you. I see what you do with kids
what you do for baseball. I fell in love with it,
so I'm a big fan now. And then we interviewed you.
I'm like, this guy's great. Even my mom loved you,
all right.
Speaker 5 (46:53):
I loved you, Adam, mom you.
Speaker 2 (46:56):
I've been following your clips and I saw this speech
you made to these kids about Jim Abbott, and.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Dude, you had me so hard.
Speaker 2 (47:03):
I had I only get so many facto tears, and
I had one coming down.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
I shared it with all my family. My little nephew
didn't know about you.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Mabbitt and ESPN just did a documentary this past week
about it last night.
Speaker 9 (47:15):
If I'm not so fired up to see that, I mean,
what a great story. And here's the deal. I've been
telling that story for twenty years. It's just it's a
great story. And I'm telling this story two years ago
in Orange County. I had never met him, but I've
always had this dream maybe if I maybe, if I'm
telling his story and I just put it into existence,
he'll show up and surprise me. Two years ago in
(47:37):
Orange County, California, he showed up. He surprised me. He said, hey, coach,
ball game, I hear you're telling my story. So he
came up, he talked to the kids, he played catch
and showed how he learned how to catch and throw
with one hand. And yeah, I mean it's a no brainer.
ESPN should should put fifty documentaries up.
Speaker 2 (47:55):
There, no brainer and no hitter. But you reminded me
too how important it is to us on these stories. Otherwise,
who's talking about Jim Abbott to these kids?
Speaker 9 (48:04):
And you have to tap into different different personalities. I mean,
some kids love moving, some kids love storytime, some kids
love humor, some kids love music. So being able to
tap into that, I as a kid, as an eight
year old, responded to life lessons through story and music.
(48:24):
So when I'm trying to get a life lesson across,
like never give up, be kind, Uh, I'm going to
tell that Roberto Clemente story, I'm going to tell that
Jim Abbott story to never give up and and kids
respond to it.
Speaker 5 (48:35):
So storytime.
Speaker 3 (48:37):
I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2 (48:37):
If you're a coach like I am, you gotta follow
coach ball game.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
I use a lot of your teachings and appreciate you stuff.
Speaker 9 (48:44):
With making lot man, you guys have great handshakes, uncomfortable
eye contact pleasure and great hair.
Speaker 3 (48:51):
He's got the great hair. Like that salute. He you guys,
no bs. If out of boy kids and you want
to pass down the good word. He is great with
the kids. Man coach ball game.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
He's the guy with the glasses, the great hair, which
he apparently covers with.
Speaker 3 (49:06):
The fedora all the time.
Speaker 2 (49:08):
I know if that's that's why I told you I
never if you have if you have hair, if.
Speaker 3 (49:13):
You have a good hit, don't don't cover it up.
Speaker 2 (49:14):
But it's funny because one of his famous stories that
he tells is the Jim Abbott story. And coincidentally, the
documentary just I think it premiered yesterday because I saw
it on TV. But it's a story that's making its
way around again, and you know, it's really cool to
see
