thousand people a year have a firework accident? Fifteen I

Patrick spot don't doubt play the number of bozos out
there that are like, yeah, let me get some mooz
(01:32):
and some explosives. What's that week video that you love
every year week video? Or the backing Up Terry video
is the greatest things video? You know, he has his
own fireworks. Back it up, ter back it up? How
do you not like backing up Terry? I don't know.
That's one of the we've known each other for We've
known each other for years. I can't like everything I know,
(01:53):
of course, we've known each other for years, but there's
a few things where I'm like, I think I know
your sense of humor, and I feel like you would
love backing up Terry. But the new movie was just
just and though you know, what I did watch this weekend.
I watched the roses are red. Yeah, fireworks are scary.
(02:13):
Back up, back up, put it in reverse, Terry. Oh yeah,
I didn't watch that video. It's beautiful. I somehow missed
the video this year. But I saw he had his
own like, his own fireworks now his own line. I
don't think gets a cut of that. Back up, Terry,
stay safe this weekend. We talked about it on Sunday night,
but I didn't mention this UFC two seventy six. The
(02:35):
card was insane. Card was insane. I'm Cavino. I have
the sports interests of an eighty year old white guy.
I love baseball and boxing. I love all fighting. I
should say I love all fighting, combat sports, real sports,
not like hot thun competitions. I don't know Joey Chestnut
taking that that guy. That was a pretty dope fight.
That was pretty cool. I'm not gonna lie sign him up.
(02:59):
You have y versus Jake Paul on the next pay
per view, Well, we talked about what a card it was,
right and we talked about how Volkanovski might be the guy,
the best pound for pound guy right now. So Hudo's
calling him out now. Cringe, yeah, Triple C saying, hey,
we gotta make this happen now. But he might be
(03:21):
pound for pound the best out of Sonya again doing
what he does. But the side story that we didn't
get to on Sunday Night is that he made an
entrance like this guy's a showman and you know that.
I remember he came out dancing and he does all
his his moves, he puts on the show. I remember
him telling us that when you flip and do dance moves,
(03:42):
you better win. You can't be the guy doing reverse
flips and dance moves and they get your asswhoop? Do
you need to if you're gonna if you're gonna be
the showman, you need to keep the great fighter as well.
And he is, Oh, it's like that dude, I forget,
but it's that famous clip if he's dancing into the ring,
you know, the skinny horse. I think he's like a
Middle Eastern fight I oh, I forget his name. He
(04:02):
does the whole orchestrated and then gets knocked out like
right away. Yeah, it's like that's embarrassing. Didn't Deontay Wilder
when he fought Fury that one time because he wore
that big, elaborate, heavy costume. The second fight that we
were at right right before, said it fatigued him so
much that he was he was like he lost his stamina.
(04:22):
Was the fight that was one of the greatest entrance
fails in sports history. Deontay Wilder wearing I still think
that heavy suit that skinny dude when he gets knocked
out right away is the most embarrassing. I forget what
box of that was though, but it was terrible. So
Hotta Sania comes out and I feel like this is
(04:42):
right in your your wheelhouse rich growing up an eighties kid,
he said he was listening to a lot of w
w E entrances that week, like just listening to him.
Oh yes, said he was listening to a WWE playlist
with some of his favorite wrestlers from the Attitude era
(05:06):
of the late nineties early two thousands, a little later
than My love Buddy the Undertaker's theme music, and it
spoke to him, and as an artist and fighter, he said,
you know what, it just spoke to him and worked
for him. So he used it and came out to it,
and people were like, you know, some people didn't get it,
which I found absurd. Some of the commentators and some
(05:29):
of the fans are like, we don't get it. I'm like,
what don't you get people are dumb? Yeah, it's it
was insane to me, like they didn't even get it,
Like why did he have an earn because he came
out with the hat and the ear Yeah, I mean
we all know. I mean he's a Hall of Fame wrestler.
We know it's a legendary entrance. Yeah, and the late
(05:49):
great Paul Bearer his manager. But when you see his
entrance used on a more legitimate stage at different stage,
at UFC stage, legimate, different stage, different whatever I say,
legitimate because they're actually fighting, right, you're like, wow, it
really is one of the coolest entrances. And the whole
story is cool too, because he reached out the Undertaker.
(06:10):
It was like, I love it, gave him the thumbs up,
supported it. But back to your other point, like he
has to win now when you're coming out, you know
to the Undertaker's music that you gotta win, and he did,
and he did. But it does make you think of
some of the most legendary entrances in sports. Of course,
Rich and I are going to battle about the Yankees
(06:30):
and Mets. But other ones stand out, well, the other
ones stand out, Marianna Rivera, the other ones eating the conversation,
though I gotta give you the more Rivera enter Sandman
is by far the number one notable baseball entrance. And
I and anyone that doesn't say that, goodness, it's just
the Yankees hater and I don't like the Yankees. That
(06:53):
game over the stadium erupts. He comes jogging out of
the bullpen. You know he's closing it out, entering Man.
It was really a magical entrance. It really was for
a great era for the Yankees. But I do again
as a as a guy who doesn't hate the Mets.
I think Edwin Diaz is definitely bringing some of the
(07:15):
fun to sports. Edwin Diaz right now, who I believe
is closing it on twenty saves ready, Edwin Diaz, he's
been bringing it for the Mets. He comes out to
Narco Narcos, Blaster Jacks, Narcos Yo. This song. It's powerful.
It is mister and Missus met got trumpets now. But
(07:37):
Showman's ship is such a part of the game. And
like you say all the time, Rich, it's what Baseball
needs Showman's Ship. How great is this any other entrances
in the conversation you could think of? WW I can
say all my references are probably gonna say wrestlers, right,
Stone Cold, Hulk, Hogan, Well, the Rocks, the p Driver
(08:00):
CD one of your favorite CDs of all time? Yes,
one of my favorites. But you know, I'm not even
I'm more of like an old school guy when it
comes to wrestling. But when Stone Cold Steve Auston would
come out and that glass would break, that got the
whole arena wherever he was losing their mind. The Undertaker
is a huge one, which is why it hits so
(08:21):
hard this weekend. I'm throwing this out. As much as
I liked Onasanya coming out and again tipping his Undertaker
hat to the Undertaker and to the WWE was it
was cool to see. I gotta say, mister Prefects was
one that stood out to me as a kid. You
know that that should be my I feel like that
should be like my bedroom entrance music. No, I don't
(08:42):
think I've heard the Bulls u that entrance song. Oh
that's a fantastic one. Spot the nineties Bulls came out
to that bull. Yeah, that is that is legendary. What
what's the name of that song? I don't know. Hey,
I think it's a conversation eight seven seven ninety nine Fox.
(09:03):
If you guys know, if you want to share, if
you know some don't get mentioned this one Parsons project. Yeah,
it's called serious Danny g that you know what spot?
That is a great Alan Parsons project. That's a great answer.
I like that. Alan Parsons the politician. Yeah, no, didn't
he invent to the laser beam? Than he was going
(09:25):
to destroy your in Austin powers too. Alan Parson's process.
Sports needs more theatrics like this brings more fun. And
what's insane to me was the fact that there was
a lot of people at the UFC event that didn't
know or get the reference. I was shocked by it.
That's starting one for your nineteen Chicago Bulls. Yeah, that
(09:49):
was that. How hard did that hint? Back in the day?
They both By the way, quick, let's shift gears for
a second, because the intros were just going to bring
up all the classic wrestling ones and you know, like
I said, a lot of great ring entrances and most
mostly closers in baseball. Jerry's familiar who's now on the Phillies.
(10:09):
When he was on the Mets, he came out to
don Omar, which is a which is a great song
that uh that Yeah, that's that's the song right there.
So there's some great ones there. But you're talking about
people not knowing things you would think they would know. Yeah, Like,
to me, that's I don't need to be a big
wrestling fan to get what he was doing. That's a
(10:30):
conversation that I rather jump into because I'm watching. You
know how now every so often your team you find
them on Apple TV or Peacock or somewhere, and you're like,
where's my game being played? Chris Young does a fine job.
He broadcasts with some some solid broadcasters on Apple TV.
You know, everyone loves to be a hater because it's
(10:52):
not their usual broadcast team. I don't hate on Mad
I just hate on the fact that, you know, baseball,
they struggle enough with trying to find young fans, and
then you gotta look all over the place to find
your game. I hate that. Yeah, but it's not as
hard as you think. It's how you sound like a
boomer being there, how do we find it? You'll find it.
It's just to pain the button, because if you use
(11:13):
the app like you do, you're like, where's my game? Yeah,
but not everybody is a savvy you already said before.
People are dumb, right, So I have family members that
if it's not on the channels, they just they don't
know how to find it. The Yankees aren't on the
Yes network? Am I gonna do? To be exactly? You
know what? They Honestly, they chalk it up to I
guess we're not watching today and they're like man freeb
(11:37):
So Chris Young and one of the female broadcasters, I
don't remember who it was because they have two two
women work in the broadcast. He made a reference, you know,
the Mets still lead the league and getting hit by pitches,
Like the Mets just get plunked every every day. There's
an up kind of got hit up, Escobar got hit up,
(11:57):
Pete Alonzo got hit again. He made a reference to
leaning into one like Roger Dorne, and he's like, remember
when Roger Dorn Major League leaned into a pitch. And
then Chris'm gonna say he made an Eric Plunk reference
that would have been even more obscure, but he makes
a reference to Roger Dorn leaning into pitches in Major League,
(12:20):
and then he quickly goes, you know what, I gotta
be honest, I'm dating myself. I don't imagine anyone remembers
that movie at all. And I'm like, he doesn't think
anyone remembers Major League, And I'm like, well, what's nineteen
eighty nine? Are they trying to go after a younger audience.
If they are, maybe they don't know Major League. And
if that's the case, I feel like that's terrible. I
(12:40):
feel like that reference is perfect for the guy leaning
into a pitch and another men getting hit. He's like, well,
it's like Roger Dorn from Major League. My first thought was, oh, hey,
Chris Youngerence. But it's a good one. Yeah. But I
was like, but I was like, cris Ball movie. Yeah,
one of the by the way, not just a baseball movie.
Arguably like the baseball movies that was fo That would
(13:02):
be an obscure baseball movie. Spot. That would be like
a hockey announcer making a Gordon Bombay reference and then saying, well,
maybe I shouldn't do that because you young kids don't know.
Amelia Westevez. So he said that came out in eighty nine.
I feel like a Sandlot reference would land and that
came out in ninety three. It's only a couple of
years apart. But that's said ninety three is almost thirty
(13:23):
years ago exactly. So I think it was a good reference.
That's it's common knowledge. Standby, that's one of the greatest
baseball movies of all time. Made a Rookie of the
Year reference, right, But even that, like Angels in the
Outfield reference, even if even if some guy came back
from an injury and someone made like a Henry Rowan
Gardner joke or something, I'd get it. If you're a
(13:43):
sports fan. What sports fan that even goes to the
the extent of seeking out their game on Apple TV?
Rookie the Year also ninety three, they've probably seen Major League.
But I felt bad for Chris Young because I'm like,
Chris Young's a guy that's sweat late thirties, forties or so,
played a good amount of time in the bigs. He
felt like his Major League reference was too old. You
(14:05):
know what, though, I love obscure references. Even if one
person gets it, then I did it for that one person,
like I don't expect everybody to get the reference. That's
what makes it great. So I don't think there's any
need for an apology there at all. I think he
was apologizing, maybe because he dated himself a little bit,
but otherwise, to me, that's what a great reference is
(14:26):
when that one or two people get it. But that's
a pretty common reference. All right, guys, So some great entrances,
some great movie moments. We got more greatness from cavenot
In for Dan Patrick, next the Politicians. Yes, be sure

(14:48):
Fox Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio wapp Wow Don

confused with the Red Hot Cholo Peppers, very famous band

ninety nine on Fox. Thank you guys for hanging out.
(15:29):
Danny g is here, Monsi's here, Spotty, and of course
Don Brown playing some chili peppers. Now tonight big night
for not only Mets fans but baseball because Max shares
Her returns to the Hill and it's it's it's big
because the GRAMA is like a week behind. And to
(15:53):
think that the New York Mets, who I've rooted for
my whole life, who are always the laughing stock of
all the mental blow, they'll they'll find a way to
lose or But you know, even though in a good
season the Mets, something'll go wrong, injuries. It always always
seems like to something with the Mets, right, Yeah, but
there's less wheeling and dealing because they got two stars
coming back. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, that's the
(16:13):
talks today. Talks today are like, what teams are going
to make some serious moves by the deadline that's August second.
That's that's an amazing thought, right that no matter what move,
the big name today is Andrew ben Attendee. Oh, They're
saying Yankees are gonna try to get them, but like,
do you want to mess exactly you know, and and
saying what your Mets do they really need any pitching?
(16:35):
You have two superstars, not even all stars, superstars coming back.
You need a little bullpen help every team, Every team
could try to make upgrades here or there, but when
you when your team's clicking, sometimes I'm like, don't make
moves just to make moves. Don't make moves just to
make moves. But I'm not sure any team can match
(16:57):
what the Mets got going on as far as whatever
anyone does that the trade deadline in the in the
next month, in the next weeks, you're getting Max Scherzer
and Jacob deGrom back. You're adding two cy young pitchers
to your rotation, and you're already the Mets have a
pretty basic record right now. They're fifty and thirty on
(17:18):
pace for one hundred and sixty and Max pitches tonight
versus the Red So, um, that's a great game to
come back. You're playing the worst team in the NL.
So you hope that that chers or cruises six seven innings,
one run, gets you know, just gets a little confidence
getting back into the rotation that goes down tonight. I'd
(17:41):
say the casual fan is interested to see what happens.
You know, Okay, cool schers is on them out. Baseball's
better with them back in the game. Let's see it now.
You and I have talked about this. But Max Scherzer,
the big story about him last week though, was during
his minor league start, how he was super generous and
(18:04):
he bought the spread of food for the whole minor
league team with which is common and ribbys and lobster
tail and ye know, everyone made it to be a
big deal, which is a very generous, nice thing by
Max Sharser to do. But think I also does make
forty something million dollars a year. So did the math.
We said he spent you know, when you figure in
the air pods he bought in the spread, he spent
(18:26):
about fifteen thousand dollars. That's the equivalent of me buying
Danny g a couple of coffee this morning. It's the
equivalent of about it, honestly, it really is. And again
it's his money. It's easy to spend someone else's money,
but it really is a drop in the bucket when
you're making as much money as he does. That doesn't
mean that the gesture is not kind, but for people
to be like, oh my god, did you see what
(18:48):
he did? But you brought up a great point just
during the break when we were taking a walk to
the kitchen. The whole thing was that Max Sharzer bought
all these dudes AirPod pros MHM, which, by the way,
in the past five years of purchases, might be my
greatest purchase, the top five. It's honest to god. If
(19:10):
you guys aren't rocking them, you're missing out. It doesn't
mean to be the Apple brand. My wife has her No,
no, no no, my wife has the bows ones and they're great.
But for those that don't think high quality air buds
air pods are are important, I'm sorry. Airbud is your
favorite DVD back in the nineties Airbud Golden receiver. Let's
not confuse anybody. Yeah, what year was that? That was
(19:32):
in the nineties. Yeah, I know, but that was that
was too young for you guys, too old for a
reference for you guys. Danny J. Dom Brown, think about
this for a second. Cavino said, AirPods great gift that
should be a go to gift for your groomsmen at
(19:52):
a wedding, And I said, you know what, don't guys
always spend like one hundred bucks or sold on their
groomsmen for they buy them like some corny flask or
like oh about your tukudo, or guys never know what
to buy other guys. It could be for you know,
my my, my, like you said, my groomsmen or my
bachelor party. Whatever. I want to get my buddies a
little something something like I thought that was a great gift,
(20:15):
even if you have a pair. So that's that's what
I got out here. Like, you know what, that's a
that was a great idea. I have them engraved, Yeah, personalized,
you could, But I'm just saying, like you've been to
enough weddings or you know, you've been part of events
where you try someone gives you something like I appreciate
the gesture, but you know what, I don't really want
a flask. I mean I do like a good flask.
(20:37):
Oh ye, who are you? It's nice you walking around
with the flask. You don't like my shoehorn that I
got from my buddy John's wedding. Oh my buddy John
got married. He got me an engrave shoehorn. You know,
you don't think that's cool from my bots. He got
it at a Things Remembered, Yeah, and he got it
engraved when things remember. I have a little a little
clock that Steve Comedo and yeah, you'd rather forget that.
(21:00):
You get your your your buddy like a you know,
a very manly scented candle, you know, like, honestly, that's
the goat, like musk, leather and whiskey. So I think
it's a great substitute for the stupid standards moving forward.
That's what I got out of it, you know. Yeah,
oh yeah, Max sures are. Oh isn't Heed the greatest? Yeah?
(21:20):
He is. And that was a kind gesture, But it
really wasn't that. It was the thought. It was the thought,
not how much he spent. Yeah, what would you want?
Air pods are a flask um. I would definitely take
the air pods. Honestly, the air pods. That would probably
be one of the best gifts I would get in
my lifetime. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, they're about aren't
(21:43):
they about two eighty nine or something like that. I'm
still I'm just pro I just want to throw it
out there because a lot of guys if they're getting married,
they say, well, you know, I'll just buy all the
groomsman's tuxedos and that's like a couple hundred bucks. Or
they'll suit let me get a like you said, uh,
some pint glasses and some flasks engraved, and yeah, I
get it. It's nice at all. Hey, two hundred fifty
(22:05):
dollar gift, it's nice. It's very generous. But I think
that's that's the go to gift, better than the cufflinks
you got from your buddy Fred's bachelor party. Cuff links
exactly like typical standard, meaningless, thoughtless gifts that you would
buy a guy and you'd have no useful it. I
got you engraved cufflinks Camino. Oh thanks, thanks, this would
(22:25):
be great. Can't wait to rock these? Can't wait? Thanks?
But if you got some air pods? So you know,
when I when I really thought about it, I'm like, yeah,
we were focusing a lot on how much he spent,
which was a drop in the bucket. But when you
think about the gesture, I think he nailed it. I
do props to Max scherz Or on that one. Are
(22:46):
there any other things that you could throw into this category?
If it was like a yo, man, I got a
little bachelor party groomsman gift bag and I got hooked
up with air pods. And was there something else that
you bought in a few years that you think every
guy should have. Oh no, what you know what someone
bought me on? This is a This is a great
one because you would never think this to be something
(23:07):
someone would buy you. Someone bought me sneakers once, what
of our old that's risky that wears you wear jeepers, dude,
coming from the guy that wears weak ass kicks, maybe
like a nice pair of sunglasses. First of all, first
of all, that's just rude. But that's not what I say.
It's easy for you. That's someone that knows sneakers. Hey,
(23:29):
show your mouth. Someone that's a fact, someone that knows sneakers.
If they got their groomsmen or their buddies, like, hey,
I got everyone, Jordan says, they're like or maybe something
like that. But everybody has a different fit, especially with
hats and with sunglasses. You need to be there to
try those things on. Yeah, like I would, I would.
I would probably rock a pair of sunglasses closer to
(23:51):
like an aviator where I'm a lot of my buddies
in Texas like uncles, and I'm like, I would never
in my life. But my wife is from South Texas.
All the dudes and our Texas Friend Crew or all
like guys that are wearing like under armored shirts at
Oakley's and I'm like, yo, that is not my style.
So yeah, you got to know someone's style. So hard
to think of something universally awesome. And who's gonna say
(24:12):
no to a pair of good headphones? You know who
you could throw in there. Speaking of Joey Chestnut, the athlete,
the super human athlete that we talked about, he's sponsored
by dude wipes because you can imagine the mess. He
talked about it on Ben Mallershaw. Yeah, you could throw
that in your little gift bag. Yeah, you can imagine
dude wipe. Hey, I got you, Hey, thanks for being
in my wedding. Man, you mean a lot. Here, here's
(24:33):
some AirPods and some dude dude wipes there. You got.
We all poop and we all need to listen to music.
I mean, you know, useful. Hey, Hey, oh poop Perie.
Guys love giving other guys poop Perrie. Nope, no, no,
I've gotten that as a gift several times. Maybe I
think that's maybe it's just a personal thing. So if
you want to open this up for another second, of
(24:53):
the gifts that you're never gonna hate on undeniably awesome.
Someone once sent me, Okay, steaks in the mill, and
you're never gonna deny me. Like Danny j if sudden,
all of a sudden, you got a little knock at
your door, and what's that? Oh you gotta Covino and
Rich set you some ribis I mean, is anyone gonna
(25:13):
hate deliveries? Edible gifts are the best? Everyone eats. Yeah,
we used to do we do? You know, for all
the live commercials Cavino and I've done over the years
in radio, there's one thing that I genuinely love. We
used to do commercial reads. I don't know if they
did him here in Fox Sports Radio, Sherry's Berries, did
you guys ever do Yeah. We've also done the stakes too,
(25:34):
the come frozen yeah, yeah, all those things. But box, yeah,
I think your box, Yeah, those are great. But I
always felt like the chocolate covered berries like Sherry's berries,
those are always great. Any type of food delivery, you're
not gonna deny buddy, our buddy West in Vegas, it was,
is a generous guy. And occasionally he'll send our show like, Hey,
(25:56):
I say, you guys some like breakfast meets, like an
ice box comes to your house and it's like ham
and bacon and there. I'm like, who could deny? It
always sounds like like like stereotypically caveman like. But no,
guy's gonna turn down the box of meats. Yeah, me
like meat. But it's true. I'm with you when Rich
(26:18):
and I agree, it's fact. I agree. If you if
you're gonna send some some of your bros some meats,
it's a home run if there there's a gift involved. Meat.
So next time you get sound sent down to the
minor leagues, now you know what to get. Yeah, get
next time. Jacob deGrom, what did he get? Did he
get anyone anything? He didn't make headlines? I know that
(26:39):
Max Scherzer did. Trying to think if there's any other
recent purchase that I've made where I'm like, you know what,
this is something everybody should have. Jacob dem got everyone
in the White Castle or something. That's why it's not
in the headlines too. I love waite Castle. Well, props
props to Suzer. The kind gesture alone, uh warrants him
(27:00):
some great karma tonight. We'll see what happens, no doubt. Um.
Now it is the fifth of July, so I wanted
to post something now everyone makes a big deal about,
of course, the fourth of July Independence Day, and by
the way, conversation for another day maybe next year. Is there?
(27:21):
I mean, think of all the Christmas movies there are,
you can name a million of them. Is there a
better movie tied to a holiday than Will Smith Independence Day? Yes?
That's like I mean, that's yeah. Gremlins Christmas Story, thank you.
I like that so much. Pendence Day just slays it
(27:44):
on Independence Day, Will Smith aliens, it's good. I didn't
I didn't know you love this so much. They've done
to show it you for sixteen years, seventeen years grade.
Do the Halloween's count? Yeah? How about a Hube Halloween,
Huby Halloween Halloween. He's a bonus. That was great, you
(28:04):
know Independence It wasn't Dan Patrick any Hube Halloween. Yeah,
I think it was. Yeah. What a tie in? What
a tie in? So today the fifth of July, So,
as I joked with you earlier one hundred couple hundred
years ago. Everyone's like, all right, now, what do we do?
We're on day two of independence? What do you feel
(28:24):
like doing? And we're independent now? By the way, are
there any stories? I'm no history buff, but honestly, what
what are you a buffing beside the Yankees? Besides being
a Nestor Cortez buff. I'm a Nestor Cortez buff mustache buff.
What did people do on their very first day of independence?
(28:47):
They were there any big rangers? I've never heard a
party of a tale. But since this is Fox Sports Radio,
probably relaxed. It does make you think about freedoms. Fifth
of July. We celebrate our independence day one, day two,
what do we do? What athlete comes to mind? It's
(29:09):
a silly tie in, but what athlete do you think
of that really needed freedom from the crappy situation they
were in. I'll throw one out there and you could
play play the game yourself. Eighty seven, seven ninety nine
one Fox Barry Sanders that poor guy was trapped in
Detroit to the point where he just retired early because
(29:32):
he's like, yeah, I just um, this is just not
good or as we joked about off the air earlier,
like any Detroit Lion Megatron. Yeah, that's exactly what I said.
In the pre show meeting. Rich was like, of course,
Barry Sanders, and I was like Megatron too, you know you?
You also said yeah, because what happened. He got freed
from his team and immediately a champion. What player would
(29:55):
celebrate the hell out of their independence? What guy has
been trapped? I'm just saying team, but sometimes you just
don't get that opportunity, and you could be on a
good team, just not getting the opportunity you deserve. And
right now this is I'm tying it into a current story,
not because I'm a Yankees fan, but Miguel Anduhr is
such a great player. He was second in Rookie of
(30:17):
the League voting, he lost to Otani a few years back.
He had twenty seven home runs his rookie season. Dude
has all the potential in the world, and he should
be playing and starting over a Joey Gallo who just
gets paid a lot so they keep him in the
lineup because it's a greater investment. He's wasting his talents
bouncing up and down in the minors like he wants
(30:38):
to the story is he wants to be released and
freed from the Yankees, even though the Yankees are a
dominant team, it's affecting his career. He just wants to play,
he wants. He can't argue that, and he should. He
deserves to play, he just isn't playing. What players would
be so much better off if they were just freed
Mike Trout? Yeah, I thought, honestly, it's got to be
(30:58):
the number one answer, Like, right now, Mike Trout will
waste away down an animal. What happens? Because when when
all said and done, you'll never see Mike Trout postseason status. Right, No,
when all said and done, people are like, he was
a great player, but he never won. And Joel Embiid,
who deserves to be freed from their weak ass team
(31:19):
or weak ass scenario, that's a good one. Now I'm
trying to think in the NBA, is there a guy
that is sort of wasting his talents on like a
second or third tier team that will just never truly compete.
Is there someone in like Sacramento. I'm trying to try
(31:42):
to think of like the bunk teams that will never
really compete anytime soon? Or from the past, and it's
usually going to be a superstar that never won in
their career. Some played for great teams, you know, and
still never won. But other other players just they were
on terrible teams, never truly had the chance. Well, we
want you guys to think, you know what, until until
(32:04):
this year, until this year when Steve Cohen bought the
Mets and now they're you know, compete with the Dodgers
to be the best team in the NL. You could
say that Jacob deGrom wasted years of cy young dominance
for a team that didn't score, for a team that
didn't score for him. So I messed up his personal
stats and and we and the Mets have gone seven
(32:26):
years in a row now without hitting the postseason. So
Degram's prime, seven years of like what would have been
like to see in the post We were working at
SNY in New York. We had a TV show in SNY,
New York, and that was his wasn't it a rookie year?
Because I remember seeing him up at the studio he came.
Remember he had long hair back. But my point is thought,
thinking how long ago that was, or it feels he
(32:47):
wasted all of those years all the years, all the years,
the multiple Cy youngs where he was dominating. You never
got to be like jam in the NLCS. So if
they didn't change things around us recently like they did,
he'd be right up there with Mike Trouns as far
as answers. He had one opportunity in the postseason in
twenty fifteen and he delivered, and then since then, the
(33:10):
gram hasn't been back to the postseason. So there are
guys that wither away when their team stinks. The Mike Trouts,
the Barry Sanders, the Grams. Until this year, who's your
guy who's withering away? You could say, could you say
(33:31):
that about Anthony Davis until he went to the Lakers?
Did Anthony Davis get saved? Even though he's been injured
a lot? But before Anthony Davis went to team up
with Lebron and win a championship, he would have stayed there. Yeah,
I think so that's how he felt, right, Yeah, that's
why so is Ziah doesn't want to be there. We'll
take your phone calls on this and all your feedback.

Get you then for your wedding party. Uh, your phone
calls your feedback. Eight seven seven nine nine on Fox
in for Dan Patrick, we're talking about great players that
waste away. We'll tie into the fifth of July. What
(35:43):
player desperately needed independence from the crappy team they were on? Well,
I was thinking about it. Anyone on the Jets, right,
anyone on the Knicks, like what a waste? What a waste?
And then just the classics. We're gonna go to the phone.
So at eight seven seven ninety nine Fox, who comes
to mind eight seven seven ninety nine Fox, Philip rivers
his whole career was sort of wasted. Guy could have
(36:04):
been a winner, Yeah right, not that team's just never
the winning formula wows. Yeah, yeah, you know, made it
to the super Bowl but didn't win. But still you're right.
One that comes to mind that I think might be
a This is a top tier answer. Baseball pitcher King Felix.
(36:27):
Felix Fernandez wasted away in Seattle. The guy was lights
out and he'd have like a five hundred record. In fact,
I remember he's sort of revolutionized cy Young voting because
people who are like, yeah, he only has ten wins,
how could he be si Young? But it's like, no, no,
look at what he's dealing with. He's the best pitcher
(36:47):
at baseball. He's just on the worst team. And by
the way, I guess that's how Kevin Durant fields. Just
to tie it into you know, what's still developing as
we speak. He wants to trade, wants independent, he wants
his independence. He out. That guy just wants to find
a winner anyway he can. Yeah, but he also knows
what what a winning organization feels like, right, And yet
(37:10):
the pictures no chemistry. There's like being in a relationship
where you know what it's like to be treated. Imagine
being in a relationship where you know what it's like
to be treated well by a woman or a man,
and then that man or woman goes on to another
relationship and they're like, yeah, I know what it feels
like to be respected and treated the right way, and
this isn't it. So I'm out. I'm out. He might
(37:31):
he might know. Look, he only has so many great
years in the League. He's like, and this ain't it. No,
this isn't it. I thought it would be different. This
isn't it. So he wants his independence. Let's go to
the phones at eight seven, seven ninety nine, Fox Cavino
and richend for Dan Patrick Alabama. Andrew you're on what's
up buddy? Quick? I'm gonna be quick, guys. Yeah, you
missed a great holiday movie that you know what, as
(37:53):
far as movie tie ins with a holiday, yeah, that
is true, Groundhog Day, Independence Day. Every holiday does have
a good movie. I just think Independence Days up there.
I I you know, it's not that I disagree with Rich.
I just didn't know he was such a fan of
that movie after working with him for all these years.
A great movie. Yeah, what Andrew's got? Robin Austin, rob
what's up buddy? Hey? A couple quick things. Not just
(38:17):
put some boo on that. But July fifth, seventeen seventy six,
they got ready for a war. They just declared independence.
They didn't fight the war yet. Oh so they were
they were getting ready. Oh so I was like, hey,
we're independent. Crap, now we gotta fight. Look at it.
We're learning stuff. Yeah, Revolutionary War one. So I think
like seventeen eighty three. As for players that need to
get out David Carr in football basketball, Iverson never got
(38:42):
the support he needed. No. Yeah, he made it to
the NBA Finals, but because he really just willed himself there.
You know, I carried it. He carried that team, and
he got one win in that final because, yeah, there
was no way he was beating who they played. They
played the Lakers, if I remember correctly, right. And by
the way, one caller who couldn't hang on hold, he
said Damian Lillard was his selection. Yeah, Dame Dame is
(39:03):
such a baller, but he just they don't they don't
have enough. And if he found himself on a team,
he'd win a title. He's that level easily, Thank you,
Robin Austin. Let's te it's up to Chris and iwa
the easiest way to play this game. Though, Before we
go to Chris, is you just think of the worst
teams in history. Probably, Yeah, there's probably one guy who's like, man,
I can't believe I'm on this weak ass team. That's
(39:25):
really it, you know, I mean, that is really a
great way sometimes their career. Remember, career lifespans are short,
wasted their years their best years on that team. Like
you said, Rich, sometimes that applies to a relationship. Unfortunately.
How many times have you heard I gave you my
best years of my life. I've had girls tell me that. Yeah,
unfortunately me too. Tom Brown's smiling like he's heard that.
(39:46):
Oh for sure, that's really what it is. And now
you kind of know where people are coming from my
best Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what that's a Allen iverson.
I mean, think of the think of the teams. But
this is a great way to think of it. What
helmet did you get out of the vending machine at
the supermarket that you didn't want? Think of? Who was
on that team? And they back then, the Browns, the Cults, right, Yeah,
(40:10):
but the Browns were good for a minute. They just
couldn't get past Denver the who What about a guy
like Dale Murphy, the Braves. The Braves went through some
tough times in the eighties. They were stinking back then. Yeah,
he was the shining light on TV before they got good,
before they got good, Yeah, before they got that pitching.
That's true. And you know what, he's actually probably a
(40:30):
great example because they got good after his run. It's
like Mattingly. Yeah, it's like the Mating Raves the Yankees
dynasty begins its true man, that's even tougher to swallow.
All right, let's go to the phones again, Chris and Iowa.
Chris wants to backtrack a little bit. I know we
were talking about great walkout music and entrance music because
out of Sagnia this past weekend came out to the
(40:52):
Undertaker's entrance music and it was pretty clear epic. Yeah,
what's up? Yeah, I think if we if some but
he came out to like Bill Goldberg's music. That's that
was classic music. Goldberg, you know, people forget about him,
but he had good music. Yeah, that stuff just I mean,
if you didn't get excited from something like that, there's
(41:13):
something wrong with you. You know, you could argue that
entrance music for wrestling sort of was one of the
biggest game changers in wrestling, Like the whole hype of
the entrance. Think about before that, what are a goy
like Brunosa and Martino just walked to the ring with
nothing big? How boring that must have been. Sometimes it's impactful,
Like Tyson used to come out sometimes, remember no Robe
(41:36):
just howl around his neck me just me. You know,
you mean he missed his birthday last week for a
guy that loves him so much, I don't think we
celebrated his happy lady birthday to me, Mike Tyson. Yeah, so,
I mean sometimes it's impactful. He just come out there
because you're all business, no music, no theatrics, just kick ass. Well,
(41:57):
we will see you tomorroworrow in for Dan Patrick. Is
it time already? Yeah, we're we're done. Oh hey, join
us on our Patreon because our day's not over. Yeah
at Covine and Rich. If you like what we do,
hey check us out and uh, like I said back,
the next two days for Dan and tonight. I'm excited. Scherzer,
what do you what's your prediction? Lights out? Lights out?
(42:18):
Like lights out. You wouldn't be odd if like the Reds,
little mouth not happening. All right, we'll enjoy your baseball.
We'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, we'll see you
guys later at Covine or Rich Later, guys,
