not a lot of Junius. I don't know any who

but right, but I don't know any No dudes named

(01:26):
lots of Julios. But no, who do you know? Whoever?
But I hope you have a happy holiday weekend. Guys,
everyone's fingers are intact. I hope you got your huskerd
dues and all your Joe dirt fireworks here whisker biscuits.
Can you promise me something? And I'm screaming. Mimi's not
talking to you, not talking to Spot, not talking to Danny,
j or Alex. I'm talking to everyone listening. Please, please

(01:51):
don't be one of the get this fifteen hundred people
a year that have a firework accident. Yeah, no, it
always happens. Uncle Hank's been drinking. I'm fine. Maybe maybe
you shouldn't handle those explosives, Uncle Hank. No, I'm good,
got it, Well you said it. You mix a little
booze with even like weak fireworks, roman candles or whistlers.

(02:14):
You know, I want to tie two things together those
it's fourth or gily weekend and and and this is
Fox Sports Radio. What I would do I was taking
I would take my whiffleball back right now. I put
the whistlers at the edge. There was a little hole
at the edge at the end of at the nub
the knob of the ball bat and you would use
that to aim at the little Brady kids on their bikes.
Of course I did that when I was younger. I'm

(02:34):
not condoning that. Now. You don't do that in the neighborhood. Now.
I wouldn't actually even admit that on Fox Sports Radio.
But I used to do that when I was a kid,
and I hit the kids on the bike. That's what
you gotta do. You're good dude, if if you know, yeah,
I mean that's what I used to do. That's what
I meant to say. But stay people a year. You
don't want to be one of those fifteen hundred. You
want to keep all your fingers, you know, enjoy your

(02:55):
jumping jack's. I see, I'd like to have fun with
I'm kind of lame rich, you know when we grew
up on the East Coast. You could have just stopped it.
I'm kind of lame. No, no, no, no, that would
have been fine, meaning with my fireworks, because think about it.
Growing up, if you were able to get like a
brick of anything dangerous, it was illegal, right, So I
grew up with sparklers, jumping Jack's, whistlers, Roman candles, bank snaps.

(03:19):
You know, I want I want everyone. I want everyone
to picture Coveno by the week, state state to state.
There's different legalities with fireworks, but picture Corvino in the
nineties or so. Half Italian, half Mexican, Guido and Jersey,
but he had a guy with his gold chain tank
top on with two sparklers. Yeah, Happy fourth, everybody, enjoy

(03:43):
In fact, I just came back from a little family
get together right now, so I'm a little spent. You know,
I was in the sun all day, the pool. You go,
bring nieces, the nephews, splashy. Yeah, stink bomb snakes, the
whole deal. Not stink bomb smoke bombs, stink bombs away.
I think someone let one out here in the studio.
But thank you guys for hanging out with us. Enjoy

(04:05):
your holiday. Weekend. Enjoy your day off tomorrow. Let's get
into this. I hope all your teams have won so far.
Your Yankees lost today. They weren't hitting today. You know,
they took the day off. I guess because you can't
win a hundred and sixty two games, and yet it
still affects you a little bit. Like I was still
a little fired down about it, even though I'm very
spoiled as a fan. They having a magical season, Still

(04:25):
very fired down that they couldn't beat Cleveland today. The Guardians, well,
I thought Matt Carpenter might come through again. The Yankees
are playing such ridiculous baseball that it's I don't like looking.
I saw something meme that's like, hey, there's so many
people that have twenty home runs in Major League Baseball.
I think it's under ten, and three of them are

(04:46):
on the Yankees. That's that short porch. But it's also
the fact that you have two guys named Stanton and Judge. Yeah,
but Rizzo got that right field porch, but he's still
got that to swing that that perfect swing for that porch,
and then records are being broken. Matt Carpenter, I believe,
is the first guy ever to get seven home runs

(05:09):
in his first ten hits as a Yankee. See your
favorite Carpenterians, Karen uh, Bob Vila is my first, Bob
Vila still my number one. But Matt favorite Carpenters Jesus
Jesus is Karen Carpenter, Matt Carpenter Bubla and which property
brother comes after that? The guy with the beard. The
one with the beard is way more humble than the
one without the beard. So anyway, Cavino and Rich, thank

(05:33):
you guys for being here. I hope all your teams
have one. If not, whatever, enjoy the holiday, celebrate. We
want to talk about Max Scherzer. Of course you do
because this happened during the week. We did get a
chance to talk about it on Fox Sports Radio. And
this is your team. Rich is a Mets guy. Now
keep in mind, we're not front running Mets and Yankees guys.
We're just guys from the East Coast out here in

(05:53):
Los Angeles. That's how we grew up. Those are our teams.
But we'll talk about whatever you want to get into.
And of course, like I said, Max Scherzer, who everybody
is excited for eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox
If you want to try, man. Max Scherzer has a
rehab start in the minors. And by the way side

(06:14):
know I'm being dead serious. If you were friends with
Max Jerser, would you be able to stare at that
guy and not like bug out with the eye? I'd
like the I remember Waning Garth would like bug out?
Remember in uh what about No No, No Waning Garth
In the second one there was a guy with an

(06:35):
eye and they were like thrown off by it and
they couldn't really hide it. I don't think I'd be
able to hide my my my feelings on how distract
that I'd be looking at his eye? I really would.
I'm dead serious. I'm trying to be funny. I think
it would take me at least a day right to
be like, what is going on? I and the most
distracted human being on Earth? I would never be able

(06:57):
to If someone has a pimple and I'm talking to him,
I'm like, pimp a PIMPLEO. I think it's common knowledge.
But just to be very clear, because a lot of
people check us out here on Fox Sports Radio, Max
Scherzer has two significantly different color eyes. Like I mean,
sometimes it's hot, right, right, Kate Bosworth had that right.
I mean people have that say it's not hot with

(07:18):
sometimes it's that too, but his is significant. Cove think
of it this way. It would bother me as a
as a friend. They're like, dude, can you stop looking
at me? I'm I'm gonna name drop just for the
he could be friends if you stopped looking at it.
I'm gonna name drop name drop for the heck of it.
Because people could look this up on their free time
if they want. If you go to YouTube and you
search Covino and Rich, Arnold, Schwartz and Acre, there's a

(07:43):
clip that comes up, and I am so terribly distracted
because Arnold's eyebrows. You're fixated. Yeah, you could see that.
I'm fixated because he's got weird poofy eyebrows that are
like sort of blowing in the wind. They were like uncontrollable. Yeah,
he had uncontrollable like Gray Michael straight hairs. He had
stray hairs. He had stray hair, iron brows. And the

(08:03):
same thing happened was when we interviewed again name drop
Reggie Jackson. Guy had no hair. He had nose hair
sticking out like three inches and we couldn't help because
we were fixated on it. No one in his team,
no one get this, Danny J. We're interviewing. We have
the honor to interview Mr October. Yeah, I mean it was.
It was awesome, and he was great years ago at
an All Star game, at an All Star game years ago.

(08:24):
I believe it was in Arizona. So damn, we're talking
like a decade ago. Baby. I remember two things. Pablo
Sandoval smelled like yesterday's diapers and Mr October had three
inch nose hair sticking out. No one not trying to
talk smack. These are the facts. Yeah, No one on
his team of people had the huevos enough to be like, yo,
reg Mr October one of the best. Yo, you might

(08:48):
want to trim those nose hairs. Couple couple, you know,
they were he I think his mustache formed out of
his nose. So the point is we were fixated like
two ninnies, rich Night be Beavis and butt Head, you know,
unable to focus on anything that was coming out of
his mouth, just the the nose hairs. And with Schwarzenegger,

(09:09):
the eyebrows for Rich with with Scherzer, it would definitely
be the eye. We went off, We went off on
a max i a tangent. I have to for a
second because it really is distracting to me. So he
makes a rehab start in the minors, which is awesome.
It just means he's closer to coming back to the Mets.
It's good for baseball. On a side note, like, no

(09:31):
one cares about your Mets. Nobody except for you. I
do know you do, and you're a labed to. It's
your you know, it's your show. But I mean he's
a superstar. Fun to watch him, yeah, I mean Max
chers are the baseball is batter. When he's pitching, he's
known to be all business right there, saying a generous,
great teammate. People love him. But once he's on the field,
did you remember, like a couple of months ago, he
got in the way of like someone trying to do

(09:53):
like a charity first pitch, He's like, no, I'm on
the mound. It's like he is once he's on the field,
all business. He has a rehab start, and he goes
above and beyond quote shelling out big big cash for
a locker room feast that included bone and ribisign owns

(10:14):
and lobster tails for the whole minor league ball club,
approximately seven grand on the food. And then according to
the minor league ballplayers, they walk in and there's a
clubhouse guy handing out air pods for everyone, saying they're
from expensive bad boys. Though Russ though ruthless and intense

(10:38):
on the mound, sure Zer has a reputation of being
a phenomenal dude and teammates, so he's getting all this
great press and I keep seeing people reposted. I know
it was earlier this week, but still I'm seeing people
be like man macs are And I'm not here to
reign on the parade, but that's maybe a little you

(10:59):
know what I want to officist by saying, you know,
we live in a world of such negativity and everyone's
so quick to pounce on on just negative things all
the time. Right, It's nice to see a cool story.
It's nice, But I think I do agree with where
you're going. Where I'm going is I love that he
did this, not taking anything away from it. I think

(11:22):
it was a class move. I think it was the
right move, and apparently it's sort of standard for when
big time all star type of folks have a rehab start.
It's the nice gesture to be like, hey, minor league
kids that are struggling to take busses that make no money,
I'll buy your dinner. Right. This was above and beyond. However,

(11:45):
when you start talking about air pods and a seven
thousand dollar dinner, we did the math and it's probably
let's just say roughly fifteen thousand dollars how many AirPods
to get him for like the clubhouse guys, Let's let's
say combined and dollars. That is a sweet gesture. It
shows that Max Scherzer is a hell of a guy,

(12:07):
and it shows that he did the right thing. So
I don't want to tell you or come on Fox
Sports ready and say yeah, like you should have done more. No,
he did the right thing. I just don't know why
everyone is blown away by it because this guy makes
over forty million dollars a year. Didn't we break it
down before the season where it was like every inning
he made like some absurd amount of money, Like he

(12:28):
makes that per pitch. You know what, man, Now that
I'm thinking about it, and I'm I'm with you on that,
that's a drop in the bucket. It really is, And
that doesn't take away from the gesture. You know, he
just makes a lot of money, so there's no skin
off for sure. That's like me buy an alex the
fruit for a smoothie, right like you guys would actually
be real excited about it. Yeah, it's pretty, and that

(12:49):
would be That would be like me saying, you know,
Danny g I brought you brought a caramel machiano. Oh man,
what a guy. That's a nice gesture, but that's the
equivalent to my budget. That fifteen thousand dollars spread is
for Max Scherzer. So while it's a great gesture and
I'm a Mets fan, so I love Max. I amazed
by what people are amazed by. Like I saw some

(13:12):
one time there was like I saw an article where
believe Beyonce spent thousands of dollars on something. I'm like, Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce.
It's been millions of dollars and on anything, on anything,
So I'm amazed. It's kind of like, you know, trying
to figure out what goes viral and why there's no
blueprint to it. Right, people like dumb things. This is

(13:32):
a nice story, it's a nice story, but you would
have never expected it to have the legs, like you know,
we're talking about it like four days later, right, you
wouldn't expect it to have the legs to where it's
still a viral story and people are like wow that
Max Schers are and like how much work with really
prominent people. There's a lack of nice gestures, that is true,
but right where where where are? I never got a

(13:53):
nice gesture from anybody. I don't think maybe you're not
on any one importance like team or crew. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
we all are. I never got a nice gesture, and
I've got a parts from anybody? Who whose team are
you on? That's important? We work with people that make
millions of dollars. No, no, no, you don't work with them.
You work for the same company, So that that's how
do you say the different That guy's not even on
the same team, just being nice, he's there from one game.

(14:17):
I work for the same company. If you work for
Joe Rogan, Howard Stern, I'll live you through like Dan
Patrick Cowherd, stephen A. Smith. If you work for those guys,
I never got a doughnut. You never worked but you
never worked with them. He is only there for a
few games. He made a nice gesture. There's a lot
of people prominent situations who make lots of money who

(14:41):
really aren't passing it down the way they should. And
he did your thoughts eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.
But you're saying, we'll take it very clear. Although you're
saying it's a it's a grand gesture, it's very nice.
It's really not that braggantos. That's my that's my questions
for him. That's my question and what I want to
post to you guys. We all could agree it's a

(15:02):
really good gesture in mactures. Is a great guy you
can My question to you is should this even be
applauded as like like super generous, because that's how people
are making it seem like, can you believe this dollars
for this guy? It's probably like bucks no, no, not
even no, it was like fifteen bucks to US forty

(15:25):
million dollars. I'm gonna do the zeros. It's the equivalent
of of, you know, when your office buddy brings in
some crispy cream service, takeaway four zeros from his salary,
right to three four, actually take away three zeros right,
forty million. Yeah, take away three zeros. So take away

(15:47):
three zeros from fifteen thousand dollars. That's like someone that
makes forty grand the year paying someone fifteen bucks. If
you want to just take away zeros is the equivalent
of zeros? Well, you're thoughts next right here? Fox Sports

the day off tomorrow, making a good one We're gonna
keep the party going this Sunday night. Yeah, whoa, hey, wait,
what's that the finale? It was better last year. Hey,

(17:17):
welcome to our explosive show at Copino and Rich the
I Heart Radio Applet's up Fox Sports Radio dot Com
s x M eight three. I hope you've enjoyed the
weekend UFC last night UFC two seventy six. I hope
you had a Volcanovsky sort of weekend so far? And
is he out of Signia sort of weekend so far?
We'll talk about that. We have time right now, just

(17:38):
bs and having fun. You know what, Hold on what second?
I have a good observation about UFC this past weekend
as well a card bro let's say, what's up to
you guys? And I brought up the fact that everybody
loves this. Max shares the story as to why I'm
a Mets fan. Max shares there was generous. He had
a rehab start, and he treated the minor league team,

(17:58):
got everyone a pair of AirPod, and he got a
spread of filets and ribbys and lobster tail, and the
whole thing was like fifteen grand when you add up
the air pods and the food a sweet gesture, remember
the guy that makes forty million dollars. But typical for

(18:19):
the big league, they're just a free or a postgame spread,
so it's not like it's out of the ordinary. Just
went above and beyond. It's a classy, great move. But
I'm amazed how people make it seem like, would you
look at this like, oh my god, like you right,
let's go to Scott in Dallas? What's up? Scott? You're

(18:41):
on what's up? What's up? Guys? I got a couple
of hot takes on that. So, first off, Hill I'm doing.
That is really great no matter how much he made,
okay with that course, imagine going to the drive through
and you drop a penny, a nickel, maybe even a
dime mount right, you're like, I'm not going to get
out to get that. Right, that is a higher percentage

(19:02):
of your net worth than that fifteen grain is. And
that's my point. My point is it was a great gesture.
So maybe Caveno's got something when he said we should
probably just see this more and we don't, and we
and it wouldn't be so peculiar. I just think people
are people are like, man, what a guy, And I'm
thinking everyone that makes forty fifty million dollars should be

(19:23):
treating people like that. No, absolutely, that's correct. I mean
it's ahead. Let's we'll get it. Get into Durant a
little bit ahead. Okay, Okay, so Durant, I think he
needs to go to to w NBA because he's acting
like a little bit. That's nice. That's nice. It's a
good hot take. Let's go to Jerome in South Carolina.

(19:46):
What's up, Drome. Hey, I'm not a durant or. That's
a whole dist deal. I'm angry to golfers man taking
this money on the tour, and how angry have made
the commissioner because he feels betrayed by him. I mean,
didn't get the PJ gives these guys a chance to

(20:08):
make a lot of money but be famous. Where before
and he lived toward him around and now guess what
what's around now? Guess what's around now? The live tour.
I promise you, I promise you, Drome Drum, I'm gonna
promise yourself. Just simply asked Drome what he does for
a living, drum? What do you do? I'm a veteran? Okay,
all right, Well, there's no real competition there. I don't

(20:31):
have the one job where we can't give you an analogy.
My point was, you know you're gonna go with the
person that pays you the most to do whatever is
that you do. I promise you. I promise you that
if the talked about the whole blood money thing, but
if the XFL or USFL really took off, you don't
think guys would leave the NFL for them the same thing.

(20:53):
That's not the same thing. Government, dirty the family, that's that,
that's nicking this one said, dirty man, the murder, the
jo that's how one is York business. Because you didn't
like what he wrote about them, I don't know. I
don't get that. I don't really know. I don't know enough.
I don't know enough about it to argue. You see
more passion than I am. So I'll get you back

(21:15):
then that angry about it. As a veteran, we respect
your opinion. Jerome, what do you what do you think
about the gift from shoes? Are you any thoughts on that?
I think I think Jerome's like he hung up. He's
angry about the livetor. Uh. Let's say it's up to
Jeff and Austin. What's up? Jeff? Hey, Jeff, Hey, guys,
can you hear me? Yeah? What's up? Oh? Nothing? Hey man,

(21:36):
I'm new listener. Love your show. And I was going
to talk Mets and Yankees. And I think one of
the things I know y'all are I know, the Yankees
are having an amazing season, and and so are the Mets.
And you know, a Mets Yankees World Series is really
good for the for the nation and for for ratings.
But the one thing that people are forgetting is is
the Astros just came into New York and completely dominated

(21:58):
the Yankees and the Mets. Bro let me tell you
the Astros. When I just looked at the overall standing
seven out of ten or something like that, Oh yeah, seven.
I just looked at the overall standings and hill Billy
Jim's number one and my buddies number two. It was
number three, number three in the overall standing, the overall
standing in the criss Cross Daddy, I looked at the

(22:23):
overall standings, and outside the Yankees being far better than
everyone else record wise, the Astros snuck ahead of the
Dodgers and Mets. Like that. The Astros are They're hot.
They're hot, right, Now they're like Handsel, great pitching. How
two ways of bees? They can't be stopped? Great? So great?
I mean they know hit the Yankees. I looked at

(22:44):
his stats the other day just for the heck of it.
But I mean maybe I was wrong in my mind.
I'm like I did nothing. Verlanders still had this level
of juice nine years old. The guy's got the jew
but I didn't know he had this level with juice
using that at edge to his advantage. Like I'm thirty nine,
but I still got it. But I didn't correct me

(23:06):
if I'm wrong? Was it wasn't there point where it's
like Verlander is still really good, but he's not Verlander
now he's like, you know, he is Verlander again. He's
got a chip on his shoulder there allow to prove
so good for him. All right, thank you Jeff for
the call, super a Cidy, what's up? Man? I love
this guy Detroit. What's up? Man? Hey? What's up? Fellas? Say? Man? Hey,
how's it going? We're good man? How's your fourth go at?

(23:28):
Your fourth weekend going? So far? All it's going super?
And I want to say the United States of America
can do smell? What's super Rossy day is cooking and
it's excitement. Do you want to cooking? Are you cooking? Hey?
Tomorrow is going to be super feast? But has it

(23:49):
right now? I'm cooking the truth and the truth is this.
Everybody has to ask theirselves, who did who a favorite? First?
Kyrie k d to Brooklyn Nets? Did the Brooklyn Nets?
Do Kyrie Kadi a favor? Who did who are a favor? First? Well?
I mean, I mean the point last week Super City,
I said that I made the dumb analogy and I

(24:09):
feel like Kevino would love. When I was filling in
with Bucky Brooks, I was saying, how Kyrie, if you remember,
convinced Kevin Turrant to come to Brooklyn. So Kyrie is
like your buddy that convinced you to go to a
bar you don't want to go to and then he
was and then he leads and you're and you're at
that bar by yourself, like why am I been here?
You're the guy that wanted to come here? Yeah, that's

(24:30):
stories Hope so miserable. But I do think the NBA
off season is going to deliver big time where these
guys end up. If they end up anywhere, well think
about it. I mean that there's proof right there in
the Figgy holiday pudding because we're talking about Max Scherzer
and it still comes back to the characters and the
superstars of the NBA. It's true, you know what I mean.

(24:51):
It's a good point. People love talking about it. Trauma
is real. Let's go to Steve the Sager for an update.
What's up, Steve Hey, Steve Hello, we got a Sunday
night ball game going on in Philadelphia. Phillies are leading
the Cardinals in Adam Wayne Right one nothing. In the
bottom of the fourth inning, Reese Hoskins with a home run,
his fourth in five games. He has seventeen home runs

(25:12):
on the season. Now St. Louis Cardinals second in the
NL Central Game and a half behind the Brewers, who
did win to nothing at Pittsburgh today winning picture Brandon
Woodrift now seven and three and in the first half
of the season, Josh Hater has twenty five saves. Now
got to save from Milwaukee today as e r A
is one point zero five. San Diego with four runs
in the top of the ninth, beat the Dodgers in

(25:33):
l A four to two. The Dodgers against the Padres
head to head had been fourteen and one against him
over the last twelve months until that final inning. Today,
White Sox one at San Francisco thirteen to four, and
White Sox closer Liam Hendricks could come off the injured
list tomorrow. He's had a strain forearm. Colorado in Kansas
City with wins, Miami one in ten and Ames Tampa

(25:53):
Bay a winner. Cleveland beat the Yankees to nothing, holding
New York to one hit. You talked about the Yanks
earlier coming into today, they did have a record of
fifty eight and twenty one, which was the second best
record of the last ninety plus years this deep end
of the season. The Yankees of had fifty nine wins
at this point, only they were better. And you've got

(26:16):
the rare team with already three players with twenty homers
or more. But right before we get to the halfway point,
I think literally the next game is the halfway point
of the season. Yet Judge Rizzo staying all with twenty
home runs. That hasn't happened in almost twenty years since
the Braves had three guys at this point with twenty.
As for the other games you mentioned Houston, that's six
straight wins for the Houston Astros. They not only beat

(26:38):
the Angels four to two on a two round home
or bottom of the ninth, the Angel offense struck out
twenty times in this game in nine innings, so that
ties the major league record. Boston in eleven innings beat
the Cubs in Chicago for to two. Cincinnati down to
Atlanta for three with a run in the bottom of
the ninth. Brave second in the NL East, now three
and a half games, buying the Mets, who beat Texas

(26:59):
four to one. Carlos Carrasco the win, Edwin Diaz to
save Max Scherzer returns to pitch on Tuesday. He's been
out about seven weeks with the oblique injury. Met's picture.
Jacob de Gram, who has been out of the majors
for twelve months, started his minor league rehab tonight in
a ball He faced six batters and struck out five. Yeah,
did you see by the way in the in the
sixth batter was a hit by pitch when he was

(27:21):
already O and two on the count and he just
hit him like inside, real tight. But I mean, for
anyone that was, I mean, I'm still hoping he comes
back to old Jacob deGrom form. But I know it's
minor league rehab start, but when you face six guys,
strike out five and the one guy that the one
guy remaining is the guy who got hit by a pitch,
heard Gonna Tesla for all the players. Yeah, see now

(27:44):
you're talking now he doesn't make sure next year, certainly
next year he stopped out. Now the pressure is on
him though exactly. But they did say he hit one
on one on the gun on one of the pitches
his first three pitches in a rehab start. Where a
hundred and one on one, it's just ridiculous. Ed Wimbledon
number one seed Novak Djokovic one his fourth round match.

(28:05):
Venus Williams lost in mixed doubles. Tyler Reddick, the NASCAR
Race winner USFL Championship game is on Fox TV right now.
In the second quarter. Birmingham a ten three leader over Philadelphia.
Birmingham trying not only for the title, but to finish
eleven and one in this league. JT post And took
the PG event in Illinois. Brandon Grace had won the

(28:25):
live golf event in Portland yesterday. Back to you, Thank you,
Just Saker, come you know, I gotta ask you a question.
Since we're talking Yanks a little bit, I'm looking at
the Yankees starting pitching because I think it's safe to
say they'll be in the postseason. Um, you're gonna have
to face some tough, tough teams along the way, whether
that's the Astros the Dodgers. That's the toughest team to be.

(28:49):
I mean Dodgers or Mets or right, maybe even San
Diego or two. You're gonna have to face a few
tough teams to win it all. And I know we're
just about getting to the All Star break, so we're
talking way to earl. But I'm looking at your starting pitching.
Who's your guy? Because you always talk about Nasty Nester,
but clearly it's Gerrit Cole. Is it if I have
to take on my former team and go against these

(29:11):
the Strows, I'll do everything I kind of, you know,
to show my worth. Is there an automatic rotation that
you would set up for the playoffs? If you're a
Aaron Boone, you go you go cold? One, do you
go Nasty nestor Now he no, you keep talking about this,
but he's not even the number two. He's there's so
many great arms on that team. Man Montgomery, nasty nester,

(29:37):
has got the best ear a on the starting pitching squad.
I don't know. Man number two for me, for me
personally is Nasty Nestor because I love watching him pitch.
He's fun to watch. I don't know if Aaron Boone's
going Nestor Cortes number two. I think he's going Jordan Montgomery,
who pitch today, Sara Vino. He's been a guy that's

(30:00):
on your team for a couple of years, like he's
come up in big now. Yeah, he's a great picture.
They're all great arms and getting spot that. You're getting
spots starts from JP sears and this guy seems to
lights out yo. And by the way, we're talking about
the Astros. I don't know if he saw this, but
it went viral today talking about how great they are.
Did you see against the Angels, Taylor Ward hits a

(30:23):
routine single right, and he rounds first and he's assuming
no one's at first, so he's sort of playing around
a little bit, like a little bit. He's got a
little cute and catcher Martin Maldonado gets behind him, backing
up first base and they tag Hi out with it,
like a little bit of a trick play, but it's
embarrassing because when you see it in slow motion on
social media over and over again, he had no clue

(30:46):
that the catcher was behind him at first. Look. So
the ball comes into the end field, he's he's yeah,
like and he's like, he's like, he'll throw it to me.
Look tag them out. It was just like that right there.
Bam talk about got him, talk about the hustle from
the catcher doing the back. Yes, but in slow motion
and on social media, it's like, oh, that was gross.

(31:09):
Sort of a trick play, but fun to see happened.
I like those trick plays. You'll see they reviewed it
and the astro's got a four to win over the
angel CEA look like he's like, oh wait, nice, nice, Yeah,
I look at playoff on social media when you get
pretty wild, I'm sure you'll see that is pretty pretty wild.

(31:30):
I'm done with them seeing my algorithms a lot different
than yours, but I get a lot of baseball highlights,
a lot of pimple popping, a lot of booty shanking.
That's about my algorithm to kind of got the same thing.
So we're appreciating sports highlights and uh, and you're right,
pimple puppet Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio CNR
on fs are and yes some Yankees guy Riches a
Mets fan. We're excited about baseball. A lot of drama

(31:52):
in the NBA, so much trauma in the LBC and
of course UFC to seventies six last night was fantastic.
Enjoyed that, you guys enjoyed you talked about that because
two guys that we've got to meet and honestly interview
a bunch of times where I feel like we've not
but we we we both we know Sanya and uh,

(32:15):
it was interesting about Alexander Volkanowski. We interviewed him a
few times. Yeah, nice guy, nice guy, but he was
our last I believe it was our last live interview
before the world shut down, before the world last like
in studio live. Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I thought it
was soccer, dude, Was it cheats? What it? Uh? No?

(32:42):
Because I remember like everyone was being in a little
wary if you remember the time, right, like we should be.
And I remember shaking his hand. He just got off
a flight, and I'm thinking he's an international traveler and
then I was looking up the photos yesterday because he fought.
And that's what you do, you brag about these things. Hey,
I met this guy, and yeah, I think it was
our last interview before the great pandemic of Can we

(33:04):
talk about it like it's the past? Right? Yeah? I
mean knock on wood. So two thoughts that came out
of that, and they're they're both ridiculous. Number one, you
brought up the bragging things. I have something I want
to bring up, but well, Number one is the card
for UFC was ridiculous. Believe me, Believe you me. I'm
no Max Scherzer. So to cough up seventy five beans

(33:25):
for UFC two seventy six, I'm not gonna say it hurts,
but I hesitate a little bit. How Mexican? Yeah, I
got that's the discount. I mean, you are you are?
It's called the slightly Vato discount. So the SVD I saw,
how do you feel about Cowboy saying he's done? It
was cool, That's what I'm saying. Like the card was insane,

(33:45):
Like when I when I looked at it again, like wait, oh, yeah,
everybody's fighting on this card. I have to get a
lot of big names. Yeah, a lot of big names
for last night out of sign Usually if you're like
if you're the more than casual UFC fan, but you
don't know every fighter. Sugar shown fact that most fights
you knew someone. It was a big name fight. I
had great and lost, Like the card was insane. My

(34:06):
question is this I take? And by the way, Misha
Tate was supposed to be on that car too, and
you get me a weird joke. No oh, I don't know.
You looked funny. Did you fart or something? No? Ia
Tate was also, but due to illness that was postponed.
So great night Worth. What I was gonna say was
I take zero point zero offense to this. But you

(34:33):
posted a photo of you and at Asanya and you
and Volkanowski. Damn right, I did. And you cropped me
out of both of these photos. Damn right, I did.
The guy who dumps on me every time I bring
up fights, I'm gonna include you in my picture. You're
trying to you try to pretend that like you were
hanging out with him without me, Like, yeah, because I was,
I'm the one that cared. Is that social media line?

(34:54):
Danny J. Would you be offended he met he dumped something.
Every time I talk out fights, Why would I want
to associate my fight photo with this cheese weenie who
doesn't even like talking about fights. He hates every time
he dumps talk about fights. Yo, last time I invited
him over for a fight, he didn't even come over,

(35:14):
And I'm supposed to include him on my social media post.
So so now you pretend on social media you hang
out with it that you hang out with these guys.
People crop things, everything about the other side, on the
other side of me, cropped down, you ruin the photos.
That's how I saw it. But it wasn't like it's
like Uncle Buck where all the photos are bent his
wedding photos. Yeah, so here, here's here's the question. Here's

(35:37):
the question for everyone, and we'll break and it's nothing.
It's nothing personal, and you're my bud, so I get it.
I don't really care. But my question goes like this.
If you see someone post something on social media and
you are cropped out of it, are you offended? If
you see, like a girl used to hook up with
and her profile picture is one of you and her

(35:58):
and you're cropped out of it, But you see your
fingers on her shoulder, if your buddies are all out
and about, and it's like, if that sounds intentional, right,
if if my mine wasn't like a personal attempt, like
because I hate Rich Davis, let's cut out Rich, but
had a context. Out of context, it makes no sense.

(36:19):
And I'll explain why your feedback. Next is Cavino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Ah, yeah, whoa Fox Sports Radio?
Get c and R and FSR, Covino and Rich on
social media at Covino and Rich. But personally, and I

(36:42):
say this for effect and for reason, but personally you
can find us at Steve Cavino and at Rich Davis
Spots Center. Danny g Alex is here Steve to say
thank you guys for hanging out with us on this holle.
Why did you go step it there with the accounts

(37:02):
that Yeah, that's why he's doing it again from the
point that we're not always a team, like every post
has to be with this guy, you know what I mean.
It's like we're attached at the hip for you know,
eighteen years now. Professionally every picture you want to go,
you want to go solo now, no, dude, but we
do solo things, you know what I mean, And we
have to represent solo in some ways because if I
didn't do that, then every picture I posted is pretty

(37:24):
much with this guy, you know what I mean. And
if I was to post on our show page, then
it would be Cavino and Rich, but it was just me.
So the reason I bring that up is because Rich said,
there was a big fight last night. You have seen
with Huge. You have C two seventy six huge card
last night, and you did it nice again. Humble brags,

(37:45):
Let me say this. Let me say this, it's not
a humble brag. You know why I ordered the seventy
dollar fight last night. Why that's a lot of money
it is. You know why I ordered it though, Why
because sometimes you watched these fights and someone inspires you,
and I really he felt. We're looking for inspiration. That's why.
That's why Alexander Volkanovski I think is the next guy.

(38:05):
I think he's a beast, I really do. And I
love Israel Latisania. I didn't know and I didn't know
what to expect in that fight. So I love both
of those dudes, right, and I like watching them both.
But I really thought to myself. I think Volkanovski's gonna
inspire me tonight. He's fighting Max Holloway. Max Holloway, you know,
he's another great in the division, but bigger, taller. I
thought he may have had his number this time. I

(38:26):
don't know. So I'm like Volkanovski, how I'm looking for
inspiration and he brought it, dude. So he bought it
so much. And I was inspired so much by that
fight and his dominance in that fight. I had to
reach back into the archives and find a picture of
when we interviewed him. And you're right, I cropped you
out because I put it on my personal page and
I know, and that's the truth. That's the truth. So

(38:50):
but the bigger forget me, forget you. I asked everyone
listening to Fox Sports Radio Family Event, girl, you used
to date your buddies going out for dre us to
watch the game. If there's a photo and you find
that you've been cropped out of it, insulting. Like I said,
the context matters, and that's the biggest problem with today's life.
Context always matters. Why did I cut Rich out? Because

(39:12):
we have a Caveno and Rich page. Because every picture
I post Rich is usually in it because we worked together,
and we're together often. Right, if you're in a relationship
or something, or a family member cuts you out, what's
the context? You know, I think it's insulting at that point.
Let me give everyone a fun tip then, or maybe
he looked ugly and maybe you ruin. Then maybe okay,

(39:33):
but maybe they did do a favorite, Like everybody looks
good in this photo, but uncle Fred, it looks like
he's sleeping. Let me give everyone. Let me give everyone
a fun little tip then, because you're probably gonna see
friends and family this weekend fourth of July. If someone
brings some rando and you're like, oh my, my buddy
brought some rando, or my my, my sister brought some

(39:54):
new dude to the family barbecue. Oh Randall Calarisian, nice
to meet you. You put them on the end to
make it easier to crop the mountain if you crop
him out, or you could do with Comito's dad didn't
when he was a kid, did your dad put He
would cut out people's faces and magazines and over this
is when we printed photos. Yeah, my dad would he
invented photoshop all of a sudden, Jennifer Addison's in your
family photo when you break up with your girl. Yeah,

(40:16):
he would just cut, you know, like Michael Landon's head
out of TV Guide and put on someone else's on.
Your aunt's ex husband. That's that's not your aunt's ex husband,
that's Patrick Duffy. So well, we'll take the rest of
your feedback. And I do want to talk about something
in sports that needs to just stop, like an annual taine.
The Wave. The Wave, Yeah, the wave, that too. We'll

(40:38):
get to all of it next right here, Comedo and
Rich Fox Sports Radio, fourth of July weekend, let's go Ah.
Here we are with Spotty Danny g Alex and his
mega pint shake. He's got the Johnny Depp size smoothie
over there and exactly and Steve to say here, thank

(41:01):

with who wants cheese, cheese, cheese, cheez No cheese for
me now I'm lactose. There always one guy at the
barbecue that's like, no cheese for me. You have gluten free?
You got gluten free. I saw some meme that said,

You had some ribs today, some dogs and burgers, had
a little bit of everything, and I justified it. I'm like, yay,
it's Fourth of July weeken. I had cookies and cupcakes.

(41:47):
I had cake pops. It's like a big slob. I
feel like my shirt is so much tighter now. And
don't judge me. Here Alex Alex Alex looked at me
like you slob while he drinks his health shake, you know,
and I love of health shake. Fourth of July weekend.
This guy's mixing veggies and fruit and a blender and
you're talking about like rooms and cupcakes. Alex is so healthy.

(42:07):
He's like, I knew I smelled meats on you when
when you came in here. I got the meat sweats
just looking at you know, I was gross today. Dude.
Bristie is like, oh, my shirt is so tight right now,
I have eaters remorse. But hey, if you if you
didn't cook out today, you will tomorrow. So you're right
behind me. Enjoy your week and enjoy your day off.

Thank you, thank you, Thank you. Follow us at c
n R at Cavino en Rich Did you uh have

(42:49):
any instinct to go to the theater this weekend or now?
I wanted to see Elvis, Dude, I got shot there,
I got shot down. I asked my daughter if she
wanted to go. You know why, because I think it
was um Priscilla Presley that said. I was thinking maybe
it was Lisa Marie, but it was Priscilla. I said,
if you have a teenage kid and they are unfamiliar
with the impact Elvis had take your kid and they're

(43:13):
gonna love the movie. So I saw it. I was inspired.
You know, I have a preteen Is that you want
to go see Elvis shot down? No? Like immediate? No that,
you know what I'm seeing a lot of I'm seeing
a lot of this on social media too. For years,
Elvis had a reputation in the African American community of

(43:34):
stealing music, and I think a lot of people in
that community are warming up, like, you know, maybe Elvis
didn't steal as much as as he brought that music
to the forefeast and and sort of live. Yeah. I
saw a lot of a lot of friends, a lot
of friends on social media saying they try to change
their mind on the King Man, he's the King. I
was going to see it this weekend. How long it is?

(43:57):
Two hours and I believe thirty seven minutes. It's a production.
It's gonna be visually in audibly stimulating. I do like
that Doja Cats song from the soundtrack Vegas where she
samples hound Dog. You know that song? I'm good. I'm
still catching up. What do you mean you're good? Do
you even know the song I'm talking about? Are you

(44:18):
just like being a dismissing, saying, no, I'm good on
the movie. If it's that long. You would think if
she was going to do a song called Vegas based
on an Elvis song, she would have chosen Viva La.
Maybe there's irony in the fact that she samples hound
Dog for her song Vegas, which is on the soundtrack.
So I Oh is out of town this past weekend,

(44:39):
hosting a couple events for Sirius XM. And you know
that weird pocket you get in sometimes where there's only
two flights and you just miss one, not miss it,
but you realize you can't make it when you're booking
your flights, like when's the next direct flight? Seven hours
after that? Son of so, I was like, all right,
well the events over. I can't go back to my

(45:01):
hotel because I checked out. What am I gonna do
for five hours? You're in Orlean and I'm in New
Orleans and I'm getting over cold not COVID, don't orry everybody,
And I'm like, I don't want to go. I'm not
gonna go drinking or eating by myself, grown man, let
me go. I'm over that right now. Do you have
a nice cocktail by yourself? All right, and then what

(45:22):
do you do with the other four hours when you're
done having a cocktail? And and I've lunch for an hour,
walk Bourbon Street up and down. So I said, let
me go see a movie. When am I ever alone
with you? Guys? I got kids, I'm busy all the time.
We're doing serious sex am Fox Sports. I said, let
me go see Top Gun. Yo. I know I'm late

(45:44):
to the party. I know I'm Dicky Columbus. One month
in later, one month later, fantastic. Let me tell the
people that are still holding out, Danny g Allen. I
don't know if you guys, for any of the hold out,
for any of the holdouts, did you also finally watch
ET this week? And I saw this cute little girl
Drew Barrymore and what they're little happen to her? Um

(46:07):
Top Gun Maverick. Everyone that said it was right when
they said it was done perfectly like the way. They
even use the original theme song. But it doesn't feel
cheesy because it's sort of brings you back. And oh
my goodness, Tom Cruise, we don't give this guy enough
credit for looking good for to see his draw muscles
flex or notable? Does he flex his draw muscles. In

(46:30):
this one. To tie it back to sports, they replaced
the volleyball scene with football on the beach team built
for team build, for team building, where they're all tanned
and oiled up. And also the oil still oiled up
right there, still still very oiled up, but the hold
for the holdouts. That's good for my nostalgic. For those

(46:50):
that have yet to see it, I know that Elvis
maybe number one this weekend. Jurassic World did big things.
Kids are you know like it? I like that um
and a lot of kids might be with it. If
you got kids, you might be checking out. Minions might
be the number one movie this weekend. You know, there's
a little like trend going on where kids are dressing

(47:12):
up as dominions, but then when the movie is over
they throw all their popcorn and drinks up in the air.
Really yeah, everybody, actually this kind of I mean, no
one respects to anyway, I know. So if you are
late to the party, this is just my one month
This is my uh Dicky come lately, one month later review.
It is fantastic spot. You were right, and every other

(47:34):
person that told me you know, you've got to see
in the theater. Don't blow it and wait for it
to be on demands or something. It is so great
And I'm not a guy that like love the original.
We all watch it as kids. But I know this
is the month of the one month late review. But
if you're the hole doubt, that's like, I don't know it. Well,
I do have a choice. I'm choosing Elvis over that.

(47:56):
I like movies that rock I haven't been in. I
don't like the dangers to watch Elvis on your on you,
but you got your surrounds side of your house. It
would be great for the Elvis movie this. You need
the screen, you need the screen for base. I think
you're you're judging it based on the original. On its own,
it stands alone, great current day action you're gonna love

(48:19):
with emotional moments, emotional emotion that yeah, everybody almost cried.
Did you cry watching The Stranger Things finale yet? Or no?
I'm I'm starting tonight. Okay, alright, put it this way.
Whatever you're watching this holiday weekend, we hope you enjoy it.
We hope all your teams win. We hope you enjoyed
the fights, some Elvis, some danger Zone, some Stranger Things,

(48:42):
and of course, Cavino and Rich. Well, let's go to
the phones to say what's up. Let's do it Fox Kevin,
Kevin and Culver City. What's up? Kevin? Right as you
go to him, he finally gave off. I was on
hold for a lot of time too, if you would
have just held on for thirty more seconds, Kevin, Just

(49:02):
when did I give you a chance? Um? Well, something
else we wanted to get into. Unless you got more
danger zone observations. Well, let's go to Shane into more
and then I'll give you some. Hey, I want to
tell you a quick story about being cut out of
a photo. The day the day my wife and I
got married, we had a small wedding. We only had

(49:23):
one witness each. Her witness said she was too busy
to go. So we go to a party later that
night and her witness happened to be there. So we
take a group photo and I got into photo late,
so I was on the end. I was standing next
to her witness, So in order for my wife to
keep the photo, she had to cut me out of
it because I was next to his friend. Did no
showed her wedding. So my wife actually cut me out

(49:46):
of a picture for standing like next to the wrong chick.
Let me tell you something. There are people that are
great at photoshops, to the point where I think spot
You've asked people like, hey, I'm pretty good, Like, hey,
one of our friends wasn't there Kardashian got caught doing
this energy Like one of the Kardashians like got caught
photoshopping their kids Disney World. Yeah it was Chloe put
her kid on a ride or something and her kid

(50:08):
wasn't even there. You were in a Disney that day.
People do that, man. And by the way, and the
reason you brought that up, if he just joined us.
I posted pictures of me and Israel Outrisania and me
with Alexander Volkanovski, both winners, both champions UFC two seventy six,
and one of those photos, Rich, your eyes were completely closed,

(50:29):
So it just made sense. I'll show you I'm not
offend because I saw another photo of you that made
me made it okay. Remember when you got married um
in Vegas by Elvis. Well, that's the last time I
saw Elvis. Well, I was gonna say, can you don't
got married by Elvis and Vegas. He's since been divorced
so can you don't posted a picture of just him
and Els, just me and Elvis cut out of X
one because well, yeah and Elvis an anticipation of the

(50:51):
big eleveness. Here's here's me and Elvis. Yeah all right, Well, hey,
I wanted to bring this up because thanks for by
the way on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, you know what
I can do, anything I can do to help. I
saw this earlier this week, and because we're on on
the weekend, I couldn't get to it earlier. Obviously we're
not here every day yet, manifested think about it, Bobby

(51:19):
Bene a day, Bobby, maybe not to you. To me,
it is one of the top five worst ongoing jokes
in sports, Like we get it, the Mets out of
contract with Benia and I'm not like mad that I'm

(51:40):
a Mets fan. I think it's like the lamest joke
of all time. Me, it's just a time stamp at
this point. It's like the Justin Timberlake meme. It's gonna
be may It's like, oh, it's back again. The meme
is back. Justin's back. It's gonna be may. I get it.
It's not fun. It has you know, to me, it's
just a time stamp. I don't care about the ill
be Bonny a day. But people, You're right, people love it.

(52:02):
You know how people love the joke and love the
story and they almost feel like they're teaching you the
Bobby binny a story. Like you know how they you know,
people tell you something and they pretend and act like
they have the first person to ever say it, Like, hey, Cavino,
you know, for every good looking girl, there's a guy
that's sick over And you're like, do you think I've

(52:22):
never heard that? You know, you probably never heard this before,
but that's what they say, happy, happy, happy wife, happy life.
You know what, that's a really good one. I never
heard that never. Of course I've heard that. You more on.
I feel like every wait, hold on, man, did you
just make that up? Happy wife has to be life.
That's a good one. Wow. Thanks, especially when a guy
does it. I'm sorry, I haven't write that down. Happy,

(52:45):
happy wife happy. I'm gonna tattoo that right now. When
I see when I see a video, when I see
a video on social media of like a best man toast,
and then guys like and John I'm gonna end with
this and he holds up his glass and you're like,
what's he gonna say? Something insightful? Happy your wife, happy wife,
choose everybody. It drives me insane when people point out
the obvious or retell the joke that you've heard a

(53:07):
million times and and played off as his new material. Yeah,
you're right. They're acting as if as if the Bobby
a joke is new. Yeah, you didn't know. Let me
tell you. I think I think once it was discovered
a few years back that hey, you know, the Mets
made a deal with Bobby Bow that he gets one

(53:28):
point one nine million dollars, so roughly one point two
million dollars a year until he's seventy two years old.
He spread out his last contract. It's a great deal
for Benilla. It's also a way of him to have
a million dollar income a year for the rest of
his life. Essentially, what when did this happen? People act

(53:48):
like that because every year the people like, hey, Richard
Mets fan, Right, I'm like, yeah, happy, have you seen this?
Why gets paid? Right? People love it, and I think
I'm I think I hate it for two reasons. Number One,
because I'm a Mets fan. I get it sent to

(54:09):
me by so many people like, yeah, I know this
is not new because you're you're a Mets fan, and
it doesn't and it doesn't. Boss, I'm slightly vat right,
I'm a part of Mexican. So anything like taco related
or any Mexican word of the day or any yeah,
any like anything that's remotely like there's a deal with
Goya or something like, they're gonna send it to me

(54:32):
just because Yankee related. It's like, no one knows they
associated everybody. Everybody Spot has a glorious beard, right, so
Spot's gonna be all beard related things Spot every time.
I could promise you when there was that story about
like hey there's more germs in your beard or hey
there's Christmas ornaments for your beard, do you feel like
everyone on earth send you that stuff? It's the worst

(54:52):
if you're so. I'm sick of the bene a thing
because I probably get it more than most because I'm
a Mets fan. But secondly, at this age of the game,
and I'm not comparing sports to sport, but and I
use this term kindly, scrubs in the NBA these days
seem to get ten to twenty million dollars a year,
middle relievers, guys signed contracts, guys are making million dollars

(55:17):
a year, so on a payroll where the Mets are
paying two to three hundred million dollars, do you really
think that is like is it a knock at Met fans?
Like to me, I look at it like, yeah, it's
pretty cool deal he made. Just the fact that people
still get a kick out of the contract hemate all

(55:37):
those years ago and the Mets are still again. It
was it was yester years Mets that they were really
rubbing it in with the Willpon Mets. In fact, Steve Cohen,
the new owner of the Mets, he's in on it
like Bobby billion a day because he's sort of owning
it now because he's a billionaire. What does he care.
I'm just saying, Queen all greet that Bobby Benny a
day is one of the lamest ongoing jokes in sports

(55:57):
eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox. And if you
can think of any others the lame ongoing storylines or trend,
you know what's funny, It's like we use those examples
of of you know, happy life happy every other one
that someone acts like they discovered is usually like an
X rated joke that I can't tell on Fox Sports Radio.
A lot of times we're like X rated. One line
is like you think you are the It's like they

(56:19):
always say, it's like throwing up yeah. You can't say yeah,
you can't say so, your calls, your feedback. Next and Richard,
not a hallway, you say hunt down the hallway. Never
heard it. It's Cavino and rich on Fox Sports Radio.

(56:41):
I wanna wish the Fox Sports Radio nation not only uh,
happy fourth to July weekend, but inflated Bob. This is
a song, by the way I was telling you about before.
I like those of cat I like, I like, I
like it a lot. Happy Belated, Bobby Bony a day

(57:03):
everybody loves that never goes on. It's not Bobby video
Day now was this week? I said, belated, Hello, Happy belated.
We're gonna go to your phones eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox Hit us up at Covino and Rich
at Steve Cavino at rich Davis, Danny Geene, Alex on
the phones again eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

(57:24):
Just to have a question about trends. Yeah, sports trends
that need to go away. Here's how it works. I'll
give you my example and you guys tell us your story.
All right, but first let's say hello to a few people. Yeah,
Kevi's back, Kevin Culver City Caveno resends up, buddy, what's up? Guys?
Hey man, Sorry you're on hold so long before? What's up? Okay? Yeah,

(57:47):
I just want to say I had a story to
when a friend left me at the club. I'll just
say West Hollywood and Samantha Robson and a crazy night.
So you had a better night left to the club
than k D getting left at the club when Kyrie left. Yeah,
well that was a good night. And big shot Sony

(58:07):
the update spots lady, you gotta bring your segments. She
knows there's spots time enjoy here, you know, go back
and forth with you guys. We'll be working with Mncy
this coming week, filling in for Dan Patrick again Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
I know she's on two of those shows with us,
It's true. Yeah, no, I mean there's a great team
here at Fox Sports Radio. We've worked at a lot
of places, great vibe, great team and having a lot

(58:29):
of fun doing it. Thank you guys for hanging out
with us. Eight seven seven Fox, I got one of
what trends, trend trends that I would be fine with
them going away. Okay, alright, minus minus, simple and obvious.
But I gotta tell you, I don't want to sound
like an ungrateful, spoiled Yankees fan, right, because it's not
even about me not liking the guy. It's just embarrassing

(58:50):
at this point. Okay, okay, So it's not like, dude,
your team is fine. Relax. I I get all that
the Yankees are winning, but Joey Gallo is now listen
to me, hear me out, Joe Tallow. You know Yankee's
got him last year from Texas, right, The dude's got
tons of potential. Oh Gallow, I think he said, Callo,

(59:12):
that's my cousin Vinny rights better than you. Nobody Callo.
He's capable of hitting forty something home runs a year.
He is, I think, I think the year you just
landed on on his baseball stat two oh six. So
I say, he's no, uh, he's not Tony Gwynn. This

(59:34):
guy's not. This guy's no Wade. It's ridiculous. Now here's
the thing. Like I said, it's not about shut up.
Spoiled the Yankee fan. It's like, this is embarrassing for
Joey Gallo. Get him out of the game. And here's
why I say this, Get him out, let him get
a mental rest, let him find himself again, whatever is
going on. Give him a break, because he's getting destroyed
on the internet. He's getting destroyed by the fans. Like

(59:55):
he strikes out more in a month than Tony gwyn
ever struck out in his career. I saw. I saw
that where it's like Tony Gwinn struck out less in
the last five years of his career than Gallo did,
like in the last couple of months, in the last
couple of weeks. You know, he was on a street
where he was over twenty four. Right, it's embarrassing and
you see this guy struggling day and day out. It's like,
take him out, not because I'm a spoiled fan, because

(01:00:18):
this guy is embarrassing himself, Joey Gallo. And again I'm
rooting for him, I'm a fan. The reason they're keeping
him in as far as I know, is because they're
paying him ten million a year. Well, so he's a
strong investment and they obviously have to think well, well,
he's gonna get out of it. This guy has potential.
He's gonna find a swing, find a stroke, he's gonna

(01:00:39):
get out of it. But here's what happens when you
got guys like with great potential, like Miguel Andu har
And and Matt Carpenter who's hitting bombs and breaking records, Like,
how could you not play these guys instead of Joey Gallo?
At what point do you say, all right, we've made
this crazy investment in the guy, but he's got to
sit it out out of the day. Is coveno of

(01:01:00):
sticking to these contracts? I think? I think a lot
of I think a lot of organizations move on from
the dead money and they say, hey, listen, then why
are they still playing this guy right now? Because you
don't mean there's several guys on this team that deserved
that opportunity. The world knows it at this point, not
this year, buddy boy. But when you look at Joey
Gallo and its career stats, and you'd be amazed to spent.

(01:01:21):
You'd be amazed that throughout this guy's career he's always
had a terrible batting average, Like there are years where
but he was hitting home runs. So when you take
away that, I'm glad you said that. Right, Yeah, you
could bat two oh six, you could bat one. If
you're hitting forty home runs and you're driving in eight rbi. Fine,

(01:01:45):
But when you're not even hitting home runs and you
you're not even driving in runs and you're still batting one,
you know, you can't tell me you're you're you're valuable
at that point. And again, you're only embarrassing yourself. What
I'm trying to say. Let me make it very clear.
The Yankees are keeping him in for two reasons. I mean,
he's good defensively, right, and they have to assume that

(01:02:08):
he's going to find a swing, oh, come out of it.
But I think the real reason is they're paying him
that that you're you're saying, and you're really really ruining
the careers of other people by not letting them play
for this guy because he's getting a lot of money
to play. Let me let me look at the last
three years and then we gotta move on the last

(01:02:30):
three years just for the stab boy of it. He
batted last year on this year. How do you stay
in the bigs when three years in a row you
can't even hit two d It's crazy, dude. You know,
his on base percentage is surprisingly higher than you think.

(01:02:50):
He leads the league. He leads the league. It seems
like the guy either walks leads the league in strikeout. No,
I feel like he leads the league in strikeouts and walks.
To the point where Joey Gallo either strikes out, walks
or hits a home run? Is that a Is that
a true statement? Strikest walk? But you home run? When
you watch Dan Dat, you see him struggle. Rich. That's
why I'm not I'm not coming from a spoiled fan perspective.

(01:03:13):
I'm saying he's struggling. Give the other people who deserve
the chance the chance. All right, Now, that's a trend
that needs to stop. So again I turned it over
to you guys. So you your trend is giving opportunities
to guys that are playing awful. Yeah, let them let
the best guy play, right? Well that I think a
lot of organizations have changed your tune over the years
on that, Neil in San Jose, you're almovine on Rich.

(01:03:35):
Hey what's up guy? Hey, what's up? What's up? Buddy?
What's going on here? I got a funny wedding story. Uh,
the real quick. I was walking out of a liquor
store and next door there was a Vietnamese wedding party,
big old banquet hall, and they're doing a group picture
outside and I slide into the side of their picture.
So I'm in their group picture with a twelve pack

(01:03:56):
in my hand. About ten years later, my uncle's relaying
harpet in somebody's house and he looks up and there's
that picture and I'm the only I'm the only Caucasian
guy on the side of the That's the great it's
that's a great story. If true. I believe you. I
believe you are the way that guy in the carpet
was joe Joey Galla. It was Joey Gallo's house. Yeah,

(01:04:16):
I knew it. Uh, Georgia, it was a funny story, though.
Georgia Taurus is on what's up? Hey, what's up? Fellas?
We're good? Hey, Hey, So I just wanted to talk
about see you the whole Vanilla Vanilla day. Yeah, you
were talking about earlier. Now I was wondering if was
they also ken Griffy doesn't mean he also get paid

(01:04:39):
until um until later on, Like doesn't. He doesn't doesn't
mean to get still get paid, correct, there is uh
Kan Griffy Jr. Yeah, Ken Griffey Jr. Still paid millions
in a very Bobby So yeah, he received roughly a
million dollars until five so not maybe until he's seventies something.

(01:05:00):
But yeah, Ken Griffey Jr. Has some money deferred like Bobby.
Both did so Bobby. The thing I want to say
was why did they do Why did they get a
day like that? Like why? I mean, it's more celebrated
on on on. Uh yeah, you can you can say,
you know, yeah, that's like someone saying, yeah, I think

(01:05:25):
of him like a tortilla, Bobby Bonia tortilla. Yeah, the
double l's at Yeah, I just looked it up. Griffy
receives three point five nine million person. Wow, you're right,
I'm looking at you know what. I realized that just
because it just added insult to injury for the malt
I was reading the Bobby bow deal that was until

(01:05:45):
yeah Griffy. Yeah he's got a similar deal, so maybe
it's Griffy. Yeah, so it's coming up. Okay, Um, I
got a couple of things. These are these are sports storylines.
And trends right that I could be. I'd be okay
if I've never heard him again. Okay, Bobby Bennie a day.
The trend you want to see stop is guys that

(01:06:06):
are batting one d something remaining in the lineup. Yeah,
it's just ridiculous. I want to see people. I never
want to see someone ever again get mad at a
bad flip. To me, it's like we're in an age
where we're trying to make baseball exciting. If you bat
flip or stand there and watch your home run for
a second, hey, strike him out. Get the guy out
if you don't want him, if you don't want him showboating.

(01:06:27):
I hate the idea of the bat flip, being like
this terrible thing is so polarizing because for as much
as you and I think it's kind of cool when
we like it, people hate old guys. Back flip is
bad late in the sixties, and you know what it's like.
Don't bring up vaccines, the politics, religion, and bad flips.

(01:06:51):
People are really divided on this. Don't want to talk
about that. And I got one more. I have one more,
and then we'll go to the saga. If I hear
one more hockey fan try to compare injuries in their
sport to others, like Lebron hurt his toe and he
can't play. This is what hockey players do. And they'll
show like a meme of some dude that broke his

(01:07:12):
ribs and has a bloody nose, and it's like, yeah,
hockey and basketball are not to see things like, don't
don't show me a meme of some hockey player that
has stitches and broken ribs and be like, but Lebron
can't play with it with a sore calf. Yeah, it's
a different sport, different skill set. Stop it. Stop these
silly analogies. I think you give me. You might get

(01:07:34):
some hockey fans man at that one. I don't care.
We were We're on in Canada right now, kidding, it's
the only I only some Canadians love hockey that much.
I didn't know the answer to your question was Canada
Day on Friday. Yeah, I know, good job one of
our three network bosses, Canadian. You tell our network boss

(01:07:56):
that I love Cheesy's, Tim Horton's poutine, Justin Eber and
Jim Carrey and Avril Levine and that's rich moonwalking, simple
players and Ryan Reynolds, I mean, Vancouver's finest ben city.
U he moved to Canada, right, I thought he was

(01:08:18):
from Oh I guzzle maple Syrup in spot you your
favorite wrestler back in they wasn't it the Melty the
Rouge Brothers all right to say, what's up, buddy. As
far as deferred money, by the way, the Freddie Freeman
contract with the Dodgers has a lot of deferred money through.
It's roughly fifty meal between something like that. And speaking

(01:08:41):
of getting mad at the home run hitter admiring the
home run two guys in mind. Madison bond Gardner pitches
tomorrow against against the Giants on July four, and of
course he famously yelled at Max Munsey, who didn't get
out of the box quick enough to his liking. And
Max Munsey is not as bad as Joey Gallow, but
he is having one of those types of seasons. Batting

(01:09:02):
about one sixty for the Dodgers, a guy who had
thirty six homers last year, but hit about was so
tough to watch though, you know what I mean, like
it just is that guy needs a break at that point. Yeah,
he did get it monthsly A week in the minors
this year and then with two for fourteen and they
brought him back up. So thanks a lot. Remember when
Mons he got called up, he was like a feel

(01:09:23):
good story, right, wasn't it like a five years ago? Yeah,
it was. It was the feel good story. It's like, wow,
Max Munsey, I'm looking at the stats right now. He
bet at two sixty three to fifty one. He had
m v P votes. Well, he has not been right
since that elbow injury, and then come the COVID season
and the elbow injury. He's barely Yeah, it's he's he's bad,

(01:09:44):
bad at good story because he was just outright cut
by the Oakland A's and signed with the Dodgers and
went to the World Series back to back years. And
he's still doing something for the team. I mean, aside
from being able to play second as well his first base,
he can play some third. You know what, though, Steve,
you made another good point, and I did want to

(01:10:04):
make that when I was you know, I don't feel
like I was bashing Joey Gallo because, like I said,
I'm rooting for the guy. It's just hard to watch
these do these dudes do add something as far as
they're good clubhouse guys. Yeah, and months he might have
a hundred walks this year or close to it. So
he usually today excluded. Great, But is there an argument
to be made that if you did take him out,

(01:10:27):
that it messes with the chemistry. So sometimes a guy, Yeah,
that it means a lot to the team. Now, when
you see the kind of front frustration he exhibited today,
I feel like, why should he play tomorrow? He's batting
about one sixty and it's getting to him that kind
of thing, like you know, line drive to second. Oh,
but on the shift to the second baseman is playing
in short right, So even that wasn't out today, And

(01:10:47):
he's yelling going back to remember when they when Roy
Kent played for Ted Lasso. Yeah, you gotta keep the
veteran and sometimes sometimes you gotta take them out. Okay, Well,
reality reality, same thing to Sunday night ball game in Philadelphia.
They're about to start the eighth inning and the Phillies
lead for nothing over the St. Louis Cardinals two home
runs off card starter Adam Wainwright. A great seven innings

(01:11:09):
of work tonight for Zach Wheeler, seven scoreless innings. He
had a hundred eight pitches thrown and has done now.
The Dodgers lost at home, giving up four runs in
the top of the ninth to San Diego four to
the final. Now closer Craig Kimber could miss a couple
of days. It took a liner off the shoulder blade
in that padre rally in the ninth. He has an

(01:11:30):
e ar a over six in his past fifteen appearances
for the Dodgers. Meanwhile, the White Sox closer Liam Hendricks
could come off the i L tomorrow from a strain
for on. White Sox beat San Francisco thirteen to four. Today,
Milwaukee shut out the Pirates to nothing, Cleveland to nothing
over the Yankees, holding him to one hit. Boston and
eleven innings defeated the Cubs at Wrigley for to two.

(01:11:51):
Cincinnati with a run bottom of the ninth, edged Atlanta
four to three. Braves are second in the n L
East now three and a half games, buying the Mets,
who defeated Texas four to one. Harlos Carrasco to win
and Houston wanted sixth straight game, beating the Angels four
to striking them out twenty times in nine innings. Tyler
Reddick won the NASCAR Race that wrote America in Wisconsin.

(01:12:11):
At Wimbledon, number one seed Novak Djokovic won his fourth
round match, and the USFL Championship game is in the
third quarter on Fox TV. The ten and one Birmingham
Stallions are leading twenty to fifteen over the Philadelphia Stars.
Back to you, the Zach Wheeler story is interesting this year.
That guy, he started out rough. So you can see
that good pictures correct themselves over the over the hundred

(01:12:33):
and sixty two game schedules. The area is under three now,
but Zach Wheeler started the season rolf like not good.
I had a dumb thought the other day. Watching the
game doesn't seem almost automatic, and there's a few like
sayings that seem to be true. It seems like every
time someone makes it Jim Edmonds, like catch in the outfield,
he leads off the inning to bat right, doesn't they

(01:12:55):
always make a note of that. I feel like every
time a picture needs like a double play, is hit
back to him like a rocket back to him and
he fields it. It's like nine out of ten times
he throws the ball to the field. You think that
you think I feel it coming every time. It's like
they're so trained to throw home right as a picture.
When it comes to throw in the second base, they

(01:13:17):
just launch it every time. Some guys don't have the
I just had that thumb thought the other day, and
I just don't have the gold glove of a Maddox's
so automatic that they're bound to make that error. Let
me let me ask you one question to think about.
We'll come back earlier when you were talking about the
batting average of a Gala Gallows and next months and

(01:13:38):
next month, see and and some of these stars didn't.
Bellinger has had these moments where he's under the inner state,
as they used to call him, and now it's just normal.
I guess I was. I made a reference to the
late great Tony Gwynn, and when I think hitting for
batting average on an elite level, I think Tony Gwynn,

(01:14:00):
and I think Wade Boggs. And then I immediately followed
it up with thinking, man, Rich, you just made two
thirty to forty year old references. But then I also thought,
right after that, is there someone since them that has
been a high average, consistent, consistent for a five plus

(01:14:21):
year period. I know you can say like there was
a time where Joey Vado just seemed like the best
pure hitter in the game. There were years where Frank
Thomas was hitting over three hundred every year. Thomas was
pretty steady. Derek Jeter was pretty steady over three hundred. Yeah,
but Derek Jeter would hit like three eighteen or three
over five. I'm talking like I felt like when we
were kids. When we were kids, I felt like George

(01:14:44):
Brett was George Brett was the closest to hitting four hundred,
hit three nineties. Something in you. But when I think
of batting average, you made this reference on our show
like a week ago. Like yo, when people still reference
a good looking guy, they'll still say Brad Pitt. It's
like Brad Pitt's like sixty, Like you know, like who

(01:15:05):
should we should we be? Like Zac Efron, Ryan Reynolds,
Like reference it dates you, Michael Michael B. Jordan's aren't
they're like you? They're handsome? Several things that date you.
It's your your forty year old guy haircut right, the
cut of your jeans, your shoes, your shoes could date you,
and your your references are gonna date you. Points in
the eighties so wait, think about that. I want Danny

(01:15:27):
g I want Alex, I want to say I want
you guys eight seven seven Fox, who is your go to?
That guy has got a high batting average because I
change because think about at the late nineties was all
about bombs. So you weren't looking for average, you were
looking for power. We'll take your feedback next right here

(01:15:48):
on Cove and Rich. Thank you for hanging with Cavino
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Sunday again.
We're on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in for Dan Patrick.
Everything at coven en Rich. Details there at Covin en Rich.
I hope you enjoyed your Saturday night. I did UFC

(01:16:08):
two seventy six is worth And right now we're talking
a little bit of everything on Fox. You know what
I'm thinking about doing tomorrow morning. Tell me if I'm
stupid or not. Nah, you'll say stupid the better. What
I'm they're doing a in the area. They're doing like
a little you know, Fourth of July festivities and stuff

(01:16:28):
like a lot of that's going on today tonight. Oh yeah,
there is a lot going on tonight and tomorrow. So
watch your little doggies everybody. People, how many memes have
you seen that? Can I tell you something? I gotta
say it for the record. I'm a dog owner. I
love my dog too, Little Piper Waffles very sensitive little

(01:16:51):
French love animals. But people that are trying to be like,
let's stop fireworks with the dogs, I'm like, no, the
dogs will be fine for one day stopping I love
my dog. But there was a person on shark Tank
that made like dog muffs dog ear muff this day,
but little whistles. I mean they apparently would say fretsnoggies

(01:17:17):
go nuts, sniffles can't handle ext year. Well it's true though,
I mean, we're not denying that. We're just saying, I
get you, rich, you don't want to stop the fireworks
because we love We're not gonna stop fireworks celebrations because
of your dog. No, I'm sensitive to your dog. I
get that no one wants to see their dog all
freaked out, but like, let's try. Let's we got start
a campaign to like stop the fourth of julyas your
dog stopping. I know people love their doggies. People love

(01:17:39):
their dogs more than human I think the worst trend
is how they come to every store here in Los Angeles.
It's like, who invited your dog to the store trying
to buy groceries? No fense, but its how I feel
the remember one. I mean what, I'm here picking up vegetables.
I don't need your dog next to me. I've never
seen time in my life. It's funny you springing up
all the time. I've never seen a dog in the supermarket.

(01:18:00):
You love your head up your butt? No dogs are?
People have their dogs everywhere? Who do you think? That's
why I find it odd you think when alex is
picking out his fruits and vegetables is uh, there's a
great hand here in Los Angeles, Dude. I know we
live in like a different bubble than the rest of
the world. I get it, But people have this entitlement
that that waffles is allowed or something. I don't get it.

(01:18:23):
You know, well, I'm not. I'm not stopping the fireworks
for your dog. I'm sorry. I'm sure you're doing. This
is again another divisive conversation because people are gonna be like,
who do these dog haters? You know what I mean? Like,
you gotta really make it clear we're dog lovers. Duck
sleeps on my bed every night. I love my dog,
but I'm not stopping fireworks because the neighbor's dog is
a little startled show out. I can't do it. Um,

(01:18:47):
I I will find that, uh interesting that I think
you forgot one of your own stories. Didn't one of
your dogs runaway on the fourth of July once and
you caught it because someone I was about to tell you,
don't ever make the mistake of bringing your dog to
the fireworks thinking it's gonna be a fun little picnic
that you're gonna have gone. Yeah, it took off. It was.

(01:19:10):
It was a frightening experience. I already found it in
like a busy street in l a little little Chiwawa doggie. Yeah,
true story. You'll hear at Taco Bell. Yeah. Be careful, guys,
be careful. Tonight did you come up with an answer
from my who do you think of with high batting average?
Since Tony Gwynn and Wade Boggs? You want more another
minute that think about. It's a great question and we

(01:19:32):
pose it to you eight ninety nine Fox. We need
better references to be honest. Like Rich said, if I say, hey,
name a handsome guy and you say Robert Redford's like yo, dude,
do you realize like he's five years old? I mean
they have a good looking woman. Paremy Anderson. She turns
I think fifty five or sixty. Even if you if
you say Brad Pitt, you're dating yourself. So if you're

(01:19:53):
thinking high average, is it? D j Lin Mayhew because
he won a batting title in both leagues? I don't
know a cop, ty cop. I'm gonna go with ty cop. Alright,

M three nine on Fox. I saw this meme a

(01:20:41):
few seconds ago. It made me laugh. You know Dragon
Bender on the Sun's Yeah, the Croatian dude. Yeah, they said,
how the Sun's fans see this jersey because you know
those rumors are like the Sun's the Phoenix Suns want
Kevin Durant. The jersey is you have to visualize it.

(01:21:02):
The jersey is bender, right, and then someone drew in
a K in front of it and says, cab bender
ant cat bender and it's a it's bender in the middle,
K on the front and a N T at the end,
cab bender aunt. How Phoenix Sons fans see the jersey? Well,

(01:21:26):
I think I have an answer to the dumb question
I had earlier, which is who's the guy? Who's who's
the guy? The thought was, we need better references. Guys.
When you think of players with high batting average, our
default goes back to our childhood and like RBI Baseball,
I called myself saying Tony gwyn An. Now we're going
I'm like, I just made a reference to the eighties.

(01:21:47):
And then I said, oh, wait, mugs. When people say
good looking people, if you're saying Pam Anderson, Brad Pitt
or Carmen Electra, we're talking about these are old references. Now.
By the way, it's like when you're you're like, it's
when your mom would be like Robert Radford come up
with new references. Yes, you gotta see. So what are

(01:22:09):
you saying? You want your your batting your batter for
average and a handsome guy? Yeah, handsome guy, good looking woman,
and who is synonymous with high batting average? All right,
I'll go al ready, already, I'll go Ryan Reynolds, Margot
Robbie and Juan Soto. Because he's so young, I don't know,

(01:22:32):
gold gold gold Schmidt. That's a good one. Again, doesn't
get the credit, probably he deserves. Tell you what I
think happens too though. I think a lot of the
guys that hit for average growing up really hit for
average like high and a lot of guys today like
you know that, guys like Miguel Cabrera, who who I mean?
They're great hitters. They hit bombs still, so we think

(01:22:53):
of them as power hitters. You know what. I came
up with an answer. By the way, Danny Janiel, we
got phone calls. I'm not seeing names on the screen,
So if you want to shout him out of me,
you or pop them up there. I want to take
a few phone calls here. I'm looking at the actual
league leader in batting average over the last ten to
twenty thirty years when we were kids. There was a
reason why these names are synonymous, right, because guys like

(01:23:15):
Tony Gwynn listen to some of these averages just for
the hell of it. I mean, he bad at three
seventy two, didn't he three seventy three? You know, three
fifty one one? Willie McGee ad at three fifty three.
Tony gwyn batted get this four years in a row,
three fifty three and three seventy two. I remember that

(01:23:36):
from video games. Then Larry Walker, people give will give
him crap because it was Colorado, but batted three sixty three,
three seventy nine, three fifty that year. Barry Bonds was
unstoppable bat at three seventy You go now to current day, Yeah,
it just lost this importance because look look at the
numbers the last four years in baseball. Yell at three x.

(01:24:01):
Back in the day, every team had a guy that
bat at three twenty six, three twenty nine. Yelloch again.
So Yelloch might be in the conversation Soto three fifty one.
That's a great average and trade turn it. Last year
was the best batting average in the National League, And
I threw ull Mayhew what's interesting, mad though. I threw
him out there because he's the only guy to win
a batting title in the American and National League. He's

(01:24:23):
been like two sixty eight right now, alto of a
hit three thirty three four. I was just like Mackey,
Mickey might be the answer. Miguel Cabrera four out of
five years led the league in hitting. But last year,
this is why it's also said your best batting average,
and then in the American League last year three nineteen

(01:24:46):
Gariel on the ashes. It's not the priority it once was.
It's not. That's why our references eight. Yeah, that's why
they're stuck to Wade Boggs Solomon. You're on in l
A What's Up? Album? Hey guys, Hey guys, I'm good.
Thanks for taking my call. What's up? Um? I know
it's been talked about a lot, but I still want

(01:25:07):
to get my two cents in about the Kyrie possibility
coming to l A. And you have to understand, as
a long time Lakers fan, it's kind of disgusting in
a way that I, oh, how the mighty have fallen,
that they had of themselves such a whole that you'd
have to consider taking on. You granted an excellent player,

(01:25:28):
but all that baggage because you ain't got nothing else.
There's nowhere with with with no code, with no COVID.
I mean, let's be honest. COVID and the vaccine thing.
Where his quote baggage last year right without that him
running points instead of Russ with with his old with
his old buddy, Lebron. It is a better team, buddy,
But you said it, they old buddy. They want together

(01:25:49):
like six seven years ago. I know, I just think
it's a better look for the Lakers, but Lebron really
wants it. Solomon Danny g was talking to me before
this and I've heard the same thing. Lebron is really
pushing hard to how make this deal happening. You know why,
It's because Lebron knows he could get the kid focused.
Lebron was like his big brother, and obviously Kyrie was
kind of bitter towards him there towards the end, but

(01:26:10):
he wanted to do his own thing. But sometimes when
you want to go do your own thing, it doesn't
always work out. That's what happened when he went to Boston,
and you know, think about the Lakers problems last season,
the turnovers was a huge problem. Every time. It seemed
like every time I turned the Lakers game on, Russell
Westbrook was fumbling the ball off his knee, his foot,
it was going out of bounds, or he would take

(01:26:31):
a shot and you know the rest. And Kyrie is
a much better shooter. Yeah, I mean, they would have
to obviously move Russell Westbrook, and the rumors are that
none would be part of the deal. The first round
pick the Lakers have been hesitant to move would be
part of the deal. It would be a better team. Now.
The wild card is obviously Kyrie and his off the

(01:26:52):
court you know, sometimes issues, and if Lebron wants that
trade to happen, it's more likely to happen. But he's
also taken on. He's taking a big risk that he's
the guy to be able to wrangle him again. I mean,
he's done it before I get it. But is Kyrie
really going to show up? Because Lebron says so, and

(01:27:13):
and and just because guys want off their teams, their
teams don't necessarily have to deal some of these guys
like Danny g You you probably remember a little clearer
than I do. It's been a minute k D and
Russ in Oklahoma City? Is there it was? Is there
bad terms there? Like if he were traded to the

(01:27:35):
Nets for Kyrie, would Kevin Durant say like, hey, maybe
me and Russ all these years later, like could do something.
You think about that lineup they had in Okay, See,
they should have won a couple of rings. I mean
Hard was the sixth man. Yeah, honestly, Harden didn't leave
and you had it, Russe, it would have been the Sea.
You would have re nutted that team. And that's when
Harden looked okay in a sh medium um. They had

(01:27:58):
the lineup, you know, to do big things at that
point in time, but the chemistry it just never worked out.
Things never worked to their advantage with injuries and other issues.
And you know, Katie got his way and moved on.
And now the rumors are k D wants to go
back to the Warriors, or he doesn't want the Warriors
want him what KAD wants? We don't know yet. Is

(01:28:19):
that a legit rumor except for the rumor about the
Sun's and um, you know, yes, obviously a lot of
our listeners in Arizona right now, they've been crossing their
fingers in toes of the past couple of days. Wait, though,
the Golden State Warriors thing is a legit rumor. Yea, yeah,
so this is a breaking rumor from Bleacher report our

(01:28:40):
buddy Mark Spears. He says Warriors do have interest in
trading for k d Golden State could offer the best
package for both sides, Jordan's Pool, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Comingo,
and James Wisel. That poses a really interesting question because
what is that a way to reward these young guys
that just helped win a champions I was going to say,

(01:29:01):
especially Pool and Wiggins, especially those two, And that's kind
of what what people were buzzing about. Like, even if
daven have a solid future to continue this dynasty, you're
giving up that future for Kevin Duran at this point
when when they when the Golden State Warriors got back
in the mix after the two years of injuries and

(01:29:22):
under five you know, like you know, average basketball, when
they got back to where they got, You're so right
that the narrative was, yeah, you got Clay, you got Draymond,
you got Steph obviously, but what you got around them
now is quality young players. And we're coming up on
a system with that same type of winning energy. What's
your instinct is is k D at this stage of

(01:29:42):
his career worth that package. I wouldn't do it. I mean,
you're you're talking about an aging k D. For some
up and coming players who showed their value this past season.
Wiggins obviously Cominica didn't get on the court much. Wiseman
was hurt, but Pool and Wiggins would not want to
move on the war anything you have to do with

(01:30:02):
the fact that, well, Kevin during I mean, he obviously
won with the Golden State Warriors, but he also played.
He also beat David led him in a shuffleboard beat
that was great. But the other the flip side, what
about the flip side though, I mean, Katie still is
one of the best players in the game. Do you
want to give him another shot to be on your

(01:30:23):
your club if you're the Warriors. It's it's a weird situation.
And I was kind of surprised to read this rumors
because I don't know if I'm a Warriors fan that
I want to mess with something that's already approven formula.
I'll tell you this from a from a non Warriors
fans standpoint. You're an ultimate Warrior fan, right grown up?
You know I am. I love parts of my favorite place,

(01:30:47):
the vacation. I think the Warriors, Danny g go from
really likable winner, two man k ds on their team.
They become the no one, no one's gonna root for
k D trying to go as everyone's can say, we can,
I'm trying to chase the ring. Going back to staff
and and Draymond and Clay, He's gonna get a lot

(01:31:08):
of criticism. Personally, he couldn't win without and he went
back and then you know, and and Golden State goes
from like a likable winner's to a team that no
one roots were at all is kind of you know,
moving on to a relationship because he thought the grass
was greener but you realized it wasn't. And then you
come back like, I mean, he's gonna get that sort
of criticism for sure. But on the flip side to Danny,

(01:31:29):
what I was gonna say is, remember how he put
his health in jeopardy for that team, and maybe that's
something that stands with you know, his former teammates. We
do forget that he did put himself on the line here.
He played his he played his heart out it's hard out.
You know, the guy did everything he could to help
that team win, but his health in jeopardy for the

(01:31:51):
Golden State Warriors, and maybe that says a lot about
his loyalty to them. I don't know. Yeah, I mean
Kyrie does are way more flect than k D right now. Obviously, Man,
that that that Brooklyn thing. Every every day you're hearing
a different story, like like, I think it'd be left
with nothing like the Brooklyn that's the big loser in

(01:32:11):
the last decade in best interesting though, how this drama
still steals the headlines. It really does. The NBA drama
is just always foe front and center, no matter what,
no matter what you know, it poses a good question.
But let's go to your phone cults for our stud
Let me write this time. Let me let me write
down my dumps. Have to do old school news? It does?
It does? We have an old school news school question.

(01:32:33):
In a minute. Joel in Wisconsin, what's up, Joel? How
you guys doing? What's up? Buddy? Um? Actually I feel
kind of stupid, but I'm gonna bring it back to
the subject of the dog thing. Oh yeah, let's yeah,
let's heart dogs. In the fourth of July g This
is this is my take on what on what's going
on here? Okay, back in the day, it just used
to be service dogs, right correct, they'd be the dog,

(01:32:55):
they'd have the best on and they were the service
dog and for blind people and handicap people, right, so
they had to have the vest on saying that they
were a service dog. Well now if you can remember
any these recent years, they're called their their comfort companions,
emotional emotional emotional emotional support dogs. Is giving is giving

(01:33:19):
these people the free right that really pretty much take
their dog or their cat. It's all dogs. It's never
cats or anything someone woman took up. So that's why
they pretty much they're these people who are taking They
cut back. They cut back on that on the airlines,
by the way, Comfort companion Joe, Joe, that that's done

(01:33:40):
on that's done on the airlines, by the way, Just
so you know, it's not done. It's done done. Yeah,
it's not done done, it's not done done. It's not done.
My sister just did. If you gotta pay, yeah, you
get no letter. My sister just did it. It's not done.
It's done. Uh. Joe in Miami, what's up? Jell. Oh,

(01:34:02):
it's it's not a pure hitter, and it's not recent,
but you know, for a few years they're taught helping
was putting up averages like three seven. Yeah, it was
the first name that came up to and and and
and like, you're right, he's kind of in the mold
of a Miguel Cabrera that he was also a power hitter.
But I don't think you guys are gonna be able
to find anybody more recent than that because of you know,

(01:34:25):
these stupid favorite metrics. You know, this is there's something
in this era that wasn't okay when we were growing up.
That it's okay to hit two hundred if you hit
thirty or four home runs, and that was that was
abysmal when we were growing up. If you were anywhere
near two hundred, you were getting set down or you
weren't even even still with us. It really does. And
you see these averages, you're like, this guy is terrible. Honestly,

(01:34:48):
it's you're right, it's it's it's the hardest statistic to
adjust to in all sports, basketball, football, baseball, any change
that's happened in our lifetime, the hardest change to look
at visually is to see an under two d batting
average and be like, how is this guy still in
the big what is it the first week of the season,
Because there's no other excuse. It's really really tough, but yeah,

(01:35:09):
great answer. Helton for sure one of the first names
that come up when you google, like players in the
modern era that bat for my batting average? Real quick, chairs,
go ahead, you're on the main Oh hey, Chaz, Oh,
Chaz chaz z z are eleven year old sportscaster. What's up?
What's up? Buddy? So you guys are talking about like

(01:35:30):
trend during Yeah, it's kind of like a trend at
my school, and it's like football really, so tons of
people like to crap on waters that I like, especially
Tom Broody, and crap about that. And then and then
they asked and asked them back and they can't even

(01:35:51):
name three players that are on the favorite team you're
talking about. Nothing changes. People have been Hayden since we
were kids, Chas and you know what, Chazz, you know
what stinks about it? It never ends, you know what
I mean? Like I have people to tell me about
places that I go to that stink and they've never
even been there. I asked, um, um this raider and so,

(01:36:17):
and I was like, hey, how like to ruin You're
gonna ruin the want Adams career? And then they're like
and then and then later on she's they say like,
you know, we go really good receiver. You don't know
who DAVONTEE Adams in. And You're like, are we talking
about how the pet? Let me tell your chess, Chaz,
it doesn't stop a little boy, you know, like it

(01:36:39):
was a little girl Raider fan that he was talking.
Maybe she's flirting with it. Cha. You know what I
tell I tell people listen that you're entitled to your
wrong opinion. Tell yeah, Chazz, there you go, give him
a coveno and say you're entitled to your wrong opinion
and we have more right here. Thanks to Fox Supports
Radio Next, Thanks buddy. This is my summer song. Bro. Really,

(01:36:59):
A'm sorry to hear that. Man? What is this? Justin Bieber?
What is this camillicabay on edge here? And I'm sorry?
Is it not joy to playing nineties rock for you
make you feel better? I am the divorced Dad rock
ambassador that you hear on series six of Turbo. So
I prefer you know, disturbing does not feel good for
my daughter. Maybe she's twelve. This doesn't sound better at

(01:37:21):
a beach or a pool for Just not my vibe, bro,
just not my vibe. I'm a different cat than you.
I say cat because we have a phone call about
the dogs, then the fireworks, dogs and fireworks? Is he
who you did? Like? That's corny, bro, I'm not You's
corny pop music? No thanks. Nobody ever sticks up for

(01:37:42):
the pregnant women right now. My mom gave birth to
my little sister the day after the fourth of July. Yeah,
it shook her up. Common thing. I didn't even know.
I don't know. She was a couple of weeks early, though.
I remember my mom telling us she's kicking in there,
she's moving around. She does not like these fireworks next day.
I never heard that before. But when my wife was

(01:38:03):
pregnant with our first kiddny g uh, she was like,
you know how you know, I can't imagine what it's
like to be a woman having to carry a baby
nine months. But towards the end she's like, I just
want this baby out, I want to give birth, I
want to have this baby. We went to a place
and I believed to Luca Lake or North Hollywood, somewhere
where it was an Italian restaurant. Whether like if you

(01:38:24):
eat this salad, women give birth like immediately, Like there
was like a spicy salad. And I went to this
place because my my wife's I was like, yeah there was.
It was a salad. It's known as like the baby
or so like you're gonna have a baby, you eat
the salad? Did it work? Failed experiment? I love that story. Alright,

(01:38:46):
you don't like my story, Let's go to Julian in Dallas.
You're hey, buddy, Hey, guys, were good man, I'm having fun. Good.
I was just listening about the dog comments and and
I'm a massage therapist and I go home to it.
Don't don't, don't take an appointment for Shaun Watson. Yeah definitely.

(01:39:07):
Oh no, I want to talk about that. But yeah,
these these dogs treated they're so smoil like they get
treated way better. And I was treated as a kid
by my parents. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Have
you have you given a dog a massage? No? No,
they're they're there at their house like they're they're they're

(01:39:29):
right there. Well i'll tell you. I'll back up, Julian
because when I was in my primetime dad mode, like
when I was pushing a stroller and stuff. Yeah here
and again, Los Angeles is a different beast, right. But
I'd be pushing my my kid around, walking around the neighborhood,
and I'd have little dogs with me too. People would
stop and I would think they were stopping and smiling

(01:39:51):
about my kid. And it was always about the dogs,
you know, it was always it's really I mean, dogs
are adorable, but it's gross. I used to be offended
by that, but I think I know what it is.
People are real weird about like looking or anything with
someone else's kids, like no one's and unlet's. It's like
an old caring like grandma. You wouldn't want anyone else

(01:40:12):
like touching your kids. I mean, I don't want anyone,
even old grandma that I don't know, touching my kid.
Do you really like if you're you're walking down the range,
you're touching your kids? Me hooks off my kid? Do
you answer your own question? But if you're gonna be
smiley and saying hey, you think your instinct is oh,
they're trying to they're making my kids smile. Everyone always

(01:40:32):
I mean, listen, and there's a lot of creepos out there,
but everyone thinks everyone's a creepout where. But you don't
want anybody to put their hands on your child, especially now.
But I'm saying, if some old old timers walking to
the block, some old granny, your grandpa was like, hey,
little guy, like rubs your son on the head. That's
normal behavior. But now it's like, dog, get your hands off.
I understand. Like you and I made the best analogy.

(01:40:53):
And it's a sports one literally, and we're on Yeah,
we're on Fox doing sports radio. So when you were
a kid, there was always that one guy in community
that coached little league because he just had a love
of the game. In my hometown, it was Mr Oliver.
Mr Oliver was the best baseball coach in our little league.
If you're gonna shout Mr Oliver, I gotta shout out
Mr Montini. But there was a whole slew of old

(01:41:13):
timers that just want to get away from their wives,
their kids. Yeah, their kids were grown, they were probably retired,
and like I just loved the game, right, and that
my my guy, Mr Oliver smoked a pipe and he
was a badass. Little league coach. He taught me so much.
Right now, if you had no kids in the Little
League and and you're smoking in front of the kids, imagine, yeah, yeah,

(01:41:35):
I forget. I imagine right now someone's like, yeah, I'm
gonna be smoking a pipe. I don't have kids in
Little league, but I'd like to coach them. Would be
that they call the police. Who is this creep wanting
to coach my kids? So times have changed. People care
more about their dogs, and they care about kids, and
be careful. He's plenty of memes and warnings that say today, tonight,
and tomorrow to make sure your donkey's okay with all

(01:41:56):
the fireworks going. I'm not I'm not a heartless I'm
not a heartless jerk. I'm just saying I'm you know,
fireworks will continue. Get those Shark tank ear must for
your dunk. I don't know if they That's a great
that's a great novelty item. Yeah I saw it. I
saw a big fan of the shark tank. Alright, So
again we're Cavino and Rich. Happy Fourth of July weekend.
Lots going on. The coolest story was the breaking rumor

(01:42:20):
from bleacher Report that Danny g reported that Kevin Durant,
the trade rumor to the Warriors. That's kind of wild
if that happens, because again you have to you have
to factor in what happens with with with all the
young players involved in that, you know that the whole
thing is weird. That's a crazy trade. And real quick,
are Buddy Arnie Spanier, who's coming up next with I

(01:42:44):
listened to him last week. That guy is hilarious. He's
you know, he's not He's not a he's not an
every day guy here on Fox Sports Radio, right. But
every time I hear him, I had to be honest,
I do to look him up because he runs to
be like an old Italian guy that I grew up with. Yeah,
he was an everyday guy on sports radio back in Love.
He sounds like everyone's He sounds like the funny Italian

(01:43:06):
uncle in Brooklyn. Great, and they're going to talk about
this coming up next hour. But I'll throw this at
you guys really quick to bring it back around to
the Kevin Durant. Durant odds. You try to be fancy.
Kevin duran he shops at tar of course with his
big paycheck. Phoenix minus one Toronto plus two fifty, Miami

(01:43:29):
plus one thousand, Brooklyn plus one thousand. Now these odds
came out from Draft Kings before these Warriors rumors. Wow,
I saw. I saw a headline that was saying how
the Lakers are getting way too many Vegas props, like
people are, people are giving, like Lakers are not towards
the bottom of because gamblers know the Lakers aren't gonna
sit still. The fan base was so furious. I don't

(01:43:52):
know who cares what we think? Like I do want
to hear from the Golden State Warriors fans, like the
actual fans that welcome would they well him Kevin Durant
And that's why Mark Willard, that's gonna be good radio
next hour. He's a Bay Area guy. He's on the
game there in in San Francisco, Oakland. They've been there
and done that and they won with that him. You're
gonna give up your future for Kevin Durant now, But again,

(01:44:15):
I understand he played hard for you in the past, right,
So I guess are the fans torn on that? Do
you what if Robbie could was like come on, I'd
be like, no, man, sorry, yeah, no, you know what,
Robbie could come on United it feels so good. Nope, nope, nope,
nope nope. Alright, So Richard got a story for you
real quick. Well, do you want to get an update

(01:44:36):
from our buddy the Sager. Yeah, well, I'll just say this.
It involves the red hot chili peppers, and I'll explain.
Oh Fleet, yeah, oh is it? Did you go around
with just a suck on your junk again? No, but
I'll explain. Steve, a mean gentle, went a lot of
baseballs to get to and you mentioned the not a
lot of great hitting for average these days. I'm glad

(01:44:56):
you mentioned Frank Thomas because he had the great average,
it always seemed, as well as power of Vladimir Guerrero
was one of those guys too. That was when we
were kids, right, I mean, Steve, we're roughly the same
age when we were kids. Guys that hit a lot
of home runs, like the Dal Murphy's of them, you know,
even like Mike Schmidt wasn't a big high average guy.
But you accepted it, right, You accepted a guy batted
Gary Carter, they Darryl Strawberry and a guy batted in

(01:45:19):
the in the mid two hundreds, it was okay. Because
he hit bombs. Frank Thomas King Jr. A Rod No
MA for a minute, like there were guys that broke
the mold and they were both and I remember blowing
our minds many of course, and the ladies loved it too.
Banks freak, Yeah, no problem. Each year O Suzuki would
certainly be on the list batting average. But that's a

(01:45:41):
great answer. Yeah, apparently there are only four active players
that have a career three hundred batting average, and you
mentioned most of them, Miguel Cabrera, josel Tove. Uh, there
was one other also, Joey vatdo is that I think
to or three hundreds. It's like it's so questionable. Oh,
it's like I'm rooting for him because my O c
D would go insane if he had a leftime batting

(01:46:02):
average of Trey Turner is a career three hundred hitter
and Mike Trout. Although Mike Trout this weekend in Houston
went over eleven with nine strikeouts, he is in an
O for fourteen slump. About a month ago, he had
an over twenty six slump that was career worst. Houston
won its six straight game, four two over the Angels,
with a two run homer bottom of the night. The

(01:46:24):
Angel struck out twenty times, tying the major league record.
By by the way, I'm sorry to inter currently as
we speak. If you go to Baseball Reference including the
current season, Joey Votto was batting exactly to right now,
that would drive you this is not a year that's
going to help the average. Helping Cincinnati overall with a

(01:46:46):
record of seven and fifty one now after they got
a run bottom of the ninth to beat Atlanta for
three brave second in the n L East, now three
and a half games behind the Mets, who defeated Texas
four to one. Boston in eleven innings defeated the Cubs
four two in Chicago. Chicago White Sox got a thirteen
four win at San Francisco, Cleveland down the Yankees to nothing,
holding him to one hit Milwaukee a to nothing. When

(01:47:08):
at Pittsburgh, San Diego with four runs top of the ninth,
beat the Dodgers four to in l A Philadelphia tonight
shut out St. Louis, beating Adam Wainewright in company four nothing. St.
Louis with only four hits. At Wimbledon, number one seed
Novak Djokovic one his fourth round match. Tyler Reddick took
the NASCAR Race. The Chicago Bulls agreed to a one
year deal with veteran guard Gore and Drag and the

(01:47:30):
USFL Championship game is winding up on Fox TV. The
Birmingham Stallions at ten and one, have retaken the league
three over Philadelphia with about three minutes left. Back to you,
Thank you, buddy. I was looking at Joe Joey Vado,
who I just 't such a great guy. You ever
watched if you? If you want to fall in love
with the baseball player other than Derek Cheater who he

(01:47:52):
loved your twenties and thirties whenever, man, you like Graty Sizemore,
I remember got his handsome women love greaty size. I
remember that he was like, dude, I feel like I'm
trying to think of baseball stuff. I feel like I
had ex member when you subscribed to Baseball Studs Weekly, Yeah,
exactly what Beckett's magazine in a baseball stuff leg monthly.

(01:48:13):
My my, I remember my ex girlfriend and my sister
both used to love David Right. He was a handsome
guy playing years. When you look at on base percentage
I don't know what made me think of this, because
Joey Votto is one of those guys that gets on base.
Do you know he has led the league in on
base percentage seven times. He's an owner of lots of

(01:48:35):
peculiar stats. You always see those memes too, about like
he never hits found balls, you know, like whenever, whenever,
foul ball ever, and his in his career. I mean,
you could say that half of these are legit and
half or not. But Barry Bonds get this tree. You
get lost on Baseball Reference nine Barry Bonds led the

(01:48:57):
league ten times in on base percentage. There a gout
and you know, you know, but you talked about who's
walked all the time, but even once. A lot of
these are in the in the Pittsburgh Pirate days too,
on base percentage. It's weird because you look at a
lot of baseball stats, and I know you love looking
at stats. You can get lost, like you said, in
Baseball Reference or even football. You can look at football

(01:49:17):
stats and get lost. This is one of those where
you know, every year or so there might be new
home run champer. This guy led the league at rb
I because that's circumstantial sometimes a guy can have a
hundred and twenty r BI just because he was putting
those positions, walks with some of the things, you get
some of the same guys. On base percentage looks to
be the most consistent category I've ever seen. I've never

(01:49:40):
looked this up before as far as career on base percentage, right,
Mike Trout four years in a row, Miguel Camerara a
bunch of years, Manny Ramirez, Jason Giambie a few years
in a row. Like this is not like a random
guy every year. You're talking about a handful of guys
like Juan Soto. The last couple of years dominated this category.

(01:50:03):
But when you when you really look at it, it
was it's all about Barry Bonds. Huh. I'm gonna get
in the Hall of Fame one day. Or he's on
Baseball Stuff Monthly. I still have the cover autographed. Well,
stupid story, but I want to share it. Hold on,
you bring up Baseball Study monthly. You got a few

(01:50:23):
more to add, no I have? Can I throw Jean
Carlos standing You said this recently, and I want to
give everyone else the old school visual just to throw you.
Give you a little throwback. I know it's a Sunday,
but throw bring up Jose Cano's eight six rated rookie card.
Know what I'm gonna bring up. What I'm gonna bring
up is anyone that's roughly that's say, thirties to forties

(01:50:47):
or older. If you're a big sports fan, do you
remember looking up the worth of your cards in Becketts?
And if you don't, I don't know what to tell you,
because to me, like you brought that up recently, and like,
oh my god, of course I remember breaking out all
my cards in the cases and going through my Beckett's magazine,

(01:51:08):
like you know, counting your fortunes. I remember my grandfather
would always tell me, all Richie, they're only worth that
amount if someone's willing to buy them. I'm like, Grandpa,
this kid Junior is worth a hundred dollars. I still
got them, Yeah I do. I still have them, Still
kept them, Still got them all man. So that's that's
a great thought to think back to the days when
before you had work and kids and responsibilities and mortgages

(01:51:31):
and car payments and inflation and everything going on in
the world, when your biggest worry was looking up your
baseball cards. In Beckett's I want to they can't be
in production anymore, can they? Becketts, I don't know his
Nintendo Power Magazine still production, saying but I'm saying that,
I mean, I probably not. I don't think base Cards

(01:51:53):
were thinking again though, well, all right, the Chili Peppers
were in the news, and I'm gonna tie this into
like sports right well, because Flee is an be one.
He isn't obi one. Has nothing to do with sports, though.
The Lakers big, I mean Chili Peppers big Lakers fans.
They shod a mountain, lots of songs, so they're big
Lakers fans. I'm sure they're wondering about I heard Anthony
keata said not to chaira. I heard He's like says yes,

(01:52:15):
Keatas says no. But we don't know if it's a
Anthony Keatas or a young Danny Trejo. You never know
because Keatas got that mustache. Now, anyway, there's a story
that went sort of viral. A red Hot Chili Peppers
fan traveled forty miles only to find out that the
gig was canceled. Oh that's a lot of miles. Because

(01:52:36):
I'm thinking, like Ellen, New York that's a cross countries
three thousands, So this is the international. Yeah, Land traveled
for more than four thousand miles for a gig to Glasgow,
which was then canceled short and short notice. Her husband's
sent her and her husband's at nine hours flying from
Mumbai to London for boarding another flight to Scotland. The
next morning. She was devastated to learn that the gig

(01:52:57):
was canceled due to illness. And I saw that because
I followed Chili Peppers. They apologized to their fans and everything,
but imagine traveling that farre you on who wants to
be a millionaire in Mumbai? No, I was not. Who
wants to be a great movement is different, different shows.
Um again, their heartbroken about it. They've always wanted to

(01:53:18):
see the Chili Peppers. I don't know when it's gonna happen,
but again it's a viral story. So it just got
me thinking about the heartbreaks of well for today today
for example, right, let's say there was a Cleveland fan
that wanted to see Aaron Judge. Aaron Judge was not
in the lineup today. Just took it that just give
him the game, and then he came in to pitch
it the last thing. So there was a big thrill

(01:53:40):
even for because you know what he's known for nowadays,
and there's a lot of athletes. There's a whole conversation
in itself, like he transcends the sport. Even though people
hate the Yankees, people love Aaron Judge like kids love
Aaron Judge even if he's on an opposing team. The
type of guy you want to see while he's in
his prime. I went, I was in South Beach maybe

(01:54:00):
a decade ago, and I said, you know what, I
have to go see Lebron when he was playing with
the Heat when it was him Bosch saying d wait.
I was like, we got gotta watch this in person
with my own eyes. So yeah, I get it. People
if if Aaron Judge is coming to your hometown, so
Aaron Judge, like they they try to get notice out
there too, to the fans nowadays because it's such a

(01:54:23):
big deal, like, hey, he's not playing on Sunday, right,
So I just wanted to go over maybe some of
the heartbreaks if you were there you wanted to see
it and it was canceled or like, and how do
you how do you sort of justify that to your kid.
It's about the kids, really, you know. So we will
take your phone calls. We'll talk more about it. It's

(01:54:44):
Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Oh yeah, Caveno
and Rich Fox Sports Radio, fourth of July weekend. Oh ah,
you know what, people and I like, they used to
were so jaded society back and remember even going on

(01:55:07):
long flights, people would clap at the end of the flight.
I hate those people, yeah, but they but it was
like it seems standard to me, kid. You know what.
I don't hate those people, you know who. I hate
the people that stand up like you immediately, like me
twenty nine, he stands the minute the plane lands. The
theater clapped after the top gun two. Oh you know
what they should because it was that damn good. Uh.

(01:55:30):
Tomorrow being one of the big sporting events of the year, Comino,
you're thinking, what's going on tomorrow? The hot dog getting contest,
Nathan's Joey Chestnut. I mean, he's a he's a nice guy,
interesting fella, the fourteen time champion. The funny I can't
watch that. I don't want the funny thing is For years,
Comino talked about how disgusting the Hot Dog Game contest
another problem with society. This is terrible. Who would watches

(01:55:52):
the stinks is terrible and just so happens. A few
years ago, I hosted the Hooters International Bikini Pa in
Vegas and Covino came along. It was one of the
judges and one of the other judges that sat next
to Coveno Joey Chestnut. So Coveno for years was like,
who is this guy? And then the whole weekend Coveno

(01:56:14):
and Joey Chestnut having drinks to be friends. Yeah, yeah,
but uh it was pretty cool. Ben Mallow, right, Yeah,
but I'm not I'm just not a fan of the competition.
I'm a fan of his though. I mean, it's the champ.
He's right up there with some of the greats. But
then he then you're saying, Ben Mallard caught up with him. Yeah,
it was made this happen. I booked it for him
on the Fifth Hour podcast Friday. Ben had been wanting

(01:56:35):
to talk to Joey for years and he finally got
to sit down with him for a half hour. And
one of the things one of the things Ben really
wanted to know about what happens after the contest I've
never exactly timed it, but I would say it's roughly
five hours before nature starts working. But it's it's weird
because so after after the contest, I have to do
interviews for about an hour, so that I passed out.

(01:57:00):
I'd say about five hours after the contest, I wake
up with a look in my eye that I'm I'm
I'm running. And then are we talking hours on the
phone or what was Yeah, it's people are like people
thinking that it's all it's not. The way it works

(01:57:21):
is uh, there's no, it's not coming out all at once,
so there will be different waves and uh, it comes
in waves and yeah, it's And then I would I'm
I'm happy. I dude, I got I gotta dude. Wive
sponsors sponsorship. Here's a dude went wives for men? You

(01:57:42):
go you joke. That's great. By the way, Danny g
great job booking a for Ben Mallory. Where can people
hear the rest of that they want to hear, just
go to Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
It's the fifth Hour with Ben Miller. By the way,
the current record, I mean he's won fourteen of these
seventies six, so we'll see what happens seven. I mean,
that's just ridiculous. It really is legend. Joey chessn that

(01:58:06):
was always the thing is I was always a big
fan of a big fan of Crazy Legs Conti another
competitive other competitive eater that was a big fan of. Uh.
I wonder if Joey chessa also owns the world record
for most babba ganooche. I don't know. Perhaps, I mean
he has a chicken wing record in Buffalo. That's unbelievable.
Oddly enough, Dannygy, I don't know how, but you don't

(01:58:28):
have crossed paths with some of the competitive eating world
more than once. Just I mean, how do you think
I dropped that crazy leg Conti names, Yeah, exactly. I
don't know how. But over the years, like through sponsorships
and different events, like we've bumped into these eaters and
they live a very weird life. It's it's I they
like imagine training And Danny said that Joey Chess is

(01:58:49):
currently training. Yeah, well he's fasting right now. He does
it two day fast right before the competition, but prior
to that, weeks of training, he counts his gulps when
he drinks water, I mean, and he has a couple
of doctors that run his blood constantly to make sure
all his vital organs are working fine. Well, you know what,
if you're gonna do this, why not trying to win? Right,

(01:59:09):
Like you know what's said, the person doesn't win, they
just ate all that for another right right, this guy's
at least the champion. And by the way, we were
talking about the Beckett's book, you want to give it quickly, yeah, Becketts,
which we all had his kids looking up our baseball cards.
They took it to a new level now because while
no one is buying the magazine, Becketts does all the

(01:59:30):
card grading now and there and there's a waitlist so
few like I know, yeah it is it P S A.
I don't know. But there's other grading right right right,
But they're apparently still doing well well that Thank you,
Danny G. Thank you Alex great hanging today, Steve the Sager.
Can you know ritch'll see it Tuesday. Until then I
read it there to you baby, see you and promise
