Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio. Good morning Lucky. You got a little Camino
Rich action and for our bud Dan Pack. We woke
up extra early today and you're reaping all the benefits
Fox Sports Radio CNR on FSR usually we're on Fox

(00:21):
Sports Sunday. Pleasure to be here the next few days
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. We love including you.
Thanks for welcoming us. We love you at Covino and
Rich at Steve Cavino, at Rich Davis. There's there's a
few headlines I want to get too real quick in
the world of baseball. And then I have a pretty
good DM we got from one of our listeners and

(00:44):
he needs our advice. So hey, little advice with Camino,
rich Dom Brown, Danny, JD Spot, everyone'll give a little advice. Monsey.
All right, let's say what's up to Aaron real quick?
Who wants to wrap up the Joey chestnut? Is he
an athlete? Is it a sport? What's up Aaron? Hey? Uh,
he is an athlete. And my challenge to I guess,

(01:06):
as Brady Quinn, that's saying he's not an athlete. If
he's not an athlete at all. Just train, beat him
and then you can easily says yoke. He's yoked like
Brady Quinn. But it's Covino. Yeah yeah, yeah, Oh you
know what spots an athlete too, He's got athletes foot
spots and athlete yea, look at him his glory. If

(01:27):
you get athletes foot, does that mean you're an athlete?
It means you're an athlete. We're really stretching the definition here.
All right, thank you, Aaron. Look congratulations to him. He
dominated again, sixty three dogs for four less than I
feel like I had. I got eaters remorse today. Man,
I feel like such a slob after this weekend. All right,
So some of the headlines you questioned me before, I said,

(01:49):
I was a little fired down yesterday because there was
no Yankees New York post. It feels like we should
be playing. You're supposed to play on the fourth of July,
Yankee dj Lemayhew, Aaron Judge. Everybody surprised that they're not
playing on the fourth of July. It was weird. I agree.
I wanted to see some baseball while I was stuff

(02:09):
in my face and rich I saw this because I'm
a Yankees guy. Again. We're East coast. Bozo's here in
Los Angeles. So wait a minute, Yeah, that means yesterday
Joey Gallow did not strike out. He has a good
I saw a meme that said, uh, the year twenty
thirty something, and it's like, Joey Gallow has still not
got a base. Oh man, it's embarrassing. That's a whole

(02:32):
other story. A team that's on pace to win roughly
one hundred and twenty games has a guy that's batting
like one fifty that can't buy a hit. Another headline
I wanted to ask you about again. I'm a Yankees fan,
Rich as a Mets fan. We're not front runners. We
grew up again New Jersey and New York. You think
someone would think I'm Met fan as a front runner.
I mean that's a good point. It shows a lot

(02:53):
about Rich's character. He's a very loyal guy. What good fellow. Yeah,
Danny j Montcy done. They're all Doctors fans. They're West
call right, right, right. So I hope all your teams
are winning, guys, I hope you had a nice weekend.
I saw this and I thought of you. The gram
is on his comeback, right, Yes, he is, and I saw,
you know, one headline is said that the Gram is

(03:16):
very pleased with his first rehab star. I also saw
a bunch of headlines saying that he threw a hundred
one hundred one, like his first three pitches were over
one hundred miles per hour. Well, but then I read
that again. New York Post said that the Mets are
not thrilled but understand the Gram's high velocity in his
rehab start, so they want him to like tone it down.

(03:37):
I guess that's what I'm getting out of it, right, Like, hey, hey,
chill with that one hundred and one mile per hour fastball, Jacob.
The Gram goes out there, and I can see where
the Mets are like, dude, slow down. But sometimes you can't.
If you try to baby these things, it might be worse. Right, Like,
let the guy go out there. The problem wasn't his arm,
if you remember, that wasn't the injury. It was like,

(03:59):
it's like trying to ride a bike real slow. It's
just harder to do. What do you what are you
gonna hear the guy, you know throw throwing the nineties
got him right? Let the guy play, But he threw
over one hundred his first three pitches at a rehab start,
and we pointed this out the other day, but he
faced six guys, five strikeouts, and the other guy was

(04:22):
a hit by pitch who he had oh and two
when he hit him. I'm hoping he comes back in
this form. Yeah. And as you look at the National
League as we hit the All Star break in like
a week, the Dodgers and Mets are both sitting a
half a game apart, and they're both on pace two

(04:43):
win over one hundred games, and you know, knock on wood,
that it's I would love to see if for for
the fun of it to watch with you guys and
Danny j and Don Mets Dodgers. That could be quite
a series. But I hate to think that whoever wins
that would have to face most likely the Yankee or
the super hot Astros. Let's just make are very much

(05:03):
in a conversation right now, big walk off win. I'm
thinking about the Grom though, started backtrack well today if
that is back today and starts today. So if you're
looking at in the miners, though, and you're facing the Grom,
you strike. Is it an honor to strike out against
the Gram? Or would you. You gotta be mad about it.
I don't know why this sticks in my head. Yeah,
but years ago, I think the rocket Roger Clemens did

(05:23):
a rehab start somewhere some kid hit a home run
off of him, and I remember thinking of myself, I
remember that, what a bragging right for the rest of
your life. You Yeah, you never made it out of
double A, but you could go around the rest of
your life stand. But you know what I did do?
I hit a bomb off of the rod. I remember that.
I don't remember his name, but I remember that moment.
And by the way you act like that was a
few years ago. It was probably like twenty years ago
on Toploy probably right, But I do remember that. And

(05:46):
something else happened, speaking of like just random headlines that
stood out. Yeah, Cavino and Rich Chicago comes outfield or
Suzuki returned after a five week stint on the il
right and legs out in ninth inning inside the Mark
home run to take the lead over the Brewers. Did
you see this? Yeah? I saw it on the high Yeah,
I'll just you know, give you the quick recap. The

(06:09):
Brewers end up tying it and then end up winning.
So it took away from the inside of the park
very exciting, not trying to take away from that. And
here on the Cavino and Rich show. You know, and
this isn't a hot take. This is like a lukewarm take.
It really is. It's kind of a mild take. It's
not Diablo sauce at Taco Belt's not And it's not

(06:29):
the Saracha that you were denied this morning. Oh get this,
by the way, so we're gonna pause your inside the
park home run story. You're gonna pause my cub story
for Saracha. I am around the room real quick. Do
you think I was lied too? I go to Starbucks
this morning at five am to get Danny J. Cavino
and myself coffee spot. I know you bring your own.

(06:51):
You didn't ask them. Do you have to ask someone
if every time you ask them they go no. It's
a different time though. On Sunday night, I make my
own coffee. When I'm I'm pulling the crust out of
my eyes at five am, what you bring with you?
Because I didn't get a text, I had to so
I go get a little bacon, egg and cheese sandwich
one of those two Starbucks and I go, hey, can

(07:13):
I get one of those little that little Sracha ketri packets?
And they go that. She looks at me and goes, yeah,
we don't. We don't have any, And I feel I
got the vibe of like, we I just don't want
to go. I just don't want to go look for it.
But maybe you're just way too chipper to deal with
in the morning, even for the morning people at Starbucks.
They're working at five in the morning. That's their job.

(07:37):
Their job. They don't need to it's not their chi
they don't need Why is this guy so happy you're
going to stay a little bit. I'm working at five
in the morning. I ain't happy. Yeah, that's probably what happened, right,
Like why is he so happy? Hi? You guys have
to ratcha you know what? No, we don't. Hi. Did
we do good morning to you? I think you do. No,
we don't have a good day. I think they just

(07:59):
denied me. I could promise you. I'm like sure. It's
like you've ever done this thing where you go to
the shoe store and you're like, yeah, can I get
these in eleven? Yeah? We don't got that. You're like
get a jacka People don't like to work. It holds that.
I believe that they did have it and didn't like
your chipperness, so they just want it through in your

(08:20):
day a little bit. So I actually do believe they
had Saracha. I'm on your side. They just don't want
to look for you, and I feel like you appreciate that,
and I do. I like the fact that they stood
their ground. No, we don't. Are you sure I have
a big day of Fox Sports Radio? Yeah? I need them.
We're sure I need them, fiery heat. Yeah, no, you
have a good day, sir. We're all out. Oh so, anyway,

(08:42):
not much of a hot take. Okay, it's kind of
a mild take. So this guy Suzuki legs out and
inside the park home run, by the way, like just
barely safe. It was a really exciting play. I'm not
trying to take away from the excitement. When I'm trying
to say is the major league level is the only

(09:03):
level where I'm impressed by an inside the park home run.
I don't want to hear about how great you are
Sunday softball and how you hit a home run and
there was no fence. I don't want to hear about
your kid who had hit a home run, but it
was just an inside the park home run with errors
left right there? Little League? When you said the softball,
because rich is the type of guy that brags about
softball prowess, and it's like, who cares? Was there a fence?

(09:28):
I mean, I see you every day, so we talk
about what we do. You think I'm telling anyone about
my softball? But again, even if it's about your kid, yeah,
my kid, he won the game. All Really, what happened?
Little Gregor's won the game? Hit a home run? Really? Oh? Cool?
Inside the park doesn't count? Don't care. Oh but it
would have been out if there was a fence. Still,

(09:49):
don't care. I feel like too many people brag about
that and it doesn't count. I disagree with it doesn't
count with your totals. Let me tell you something. When
I say, and I mean this, when I say I
had twenty seven Little League home runs, it's embarrassing. No,
they were all out of the park, so therefore they count.
No one counts inside the parkers The only time it counts.

(10:09):
The only time is right here. No, no, no, I
give me tons of false confidence. Clearly, how do you
think I got to this level, twenty seven little league
home runs out of the park, hot Dogs, this counts.
That was an exciting Do you think? Do you think?
Do you think Fox categorizes you as one of their
athlete hosts. It's more impressive than than Joey Chestnut he

(10:36):
had twenty seven. Litle, I think you know why. I
bet you Aaron Judge can't even say that. I bet
you he can't. I bet you did you just compare
yourself to Aaron Judge. I think I want to walk
out of the room a twelve year old Aaron if
I was twelve years Yeah, if we're talking, are you
hearing this? Yeah? I am actually at twelve. I bet
you he can't say that. My point is every Judge
is probably six to five when he was twelve, but
did he have twenty seven literally egue soccer when I

(10:58):
was five years old. I'm gonna come here myself to
I just stopped growing. But the point is I was
this bis I was this big at twelve. People don't
realize you don't can you don't turn It was eleven
and it was five ten and hasn't grown. I haven't
grown since, all right, So my point is mild. Take
inside the park home runs just don't count. They don't count.

(11:22):
Congrats to your kid who hit a ball that you
know little leaguers made four errors on that he rounded
the base. Congrats that to your your your beer Guslin
buddy with his beer helmet on who hit inside the
park home run at your Sunday softball game. Congrats. It's
all great and it's all fun, but it doesn't count.
I think you're there's a there's a factor here if

(11:42):
you want to play, does it count? It doesn't count? Well,
let me let me make the assessment here. If it
if it's a line drive in the gap and there's
no fence and you just happen to luck out and
you hit that gap, that's that's that's sort of a
weak home run if anyone misplays it, like in Major
League Baseball, which is this is why I don't even

(12:02):
like inside the park home runs in Major League Baseball.
You gotta get a good because to get an inside
the park home run in Major League Baseball, you need
the outfielder to take a chance and the chance goes
wrong right, or just a guy lays out and dives.
But because it's an uncatchable dive, it's not an error,

(12:23):
but he's laying down the ball ricochets that's rolling around.
I think in Major League Baseball it's less legit. Essentially,
some dude, it give me a line drive. Look at
here it is Ron. We're watching a highlight now, Suzuki
Oh barely say well to take the lead in the
ninth for the Cubs. Yet some kids play. There's many

(12:45):
kids aroout the country that played Little League Riven high schoolball.
My high school baseball team didn't have a fence. That
is as lame as it gets, lame as against, lame
as against. But what kid, what is a kid to do?
It's not the kids faump. It just doesn't count home
run over the fence. My mile take of the day,
brought to you by I can't say what I wanted

(13:09):
to say on Fox Sports Radio. Well, um, someone hit
us up with a good one. About to recap Joey
Chestnut last hour Joey Chessnut. Jeff hit us up? What up? Jeff?
He said, you can tell all you want about Joey
Chess not not being an athlete, but he makes two
point five million dollars a year eating professionally. I mean,
congrats that doesn't change. Someone else hit us up saying

(13:31):
if he makes he makes a lot of money, that's great. Like,
no one's trying to take that away from the guy
comming un rich good hearing you in for Dan? How
about Joey Chestnut versus the USFL who has more viewers? Again,
that doesn't make it right. There's a lot of things
that are wrong that we just roll with. Doesn't make

(13:52):
it right. You know how many people like crappy music?
Doesn't make it right. You know what I means, like
at least a bad example I gave before millions of
people ran out and bought Susan Boyle's album She Went Platinum?
Is she better than Metallica? No, it doesn't make it right.
Let me ask you, people care about Joey Chestnut? One

(14:12):
watch dumb thinks, one more quick baseball headline? And then
I do want to get to this DM we got
from one of our Fox Sports radio listeners. He had
an issue where he wanted all of our advice. So
we're gonna have to, uh, we're gonna have to give
some good advice here in a few minutes on Fox.
But how do you feel about Fenway being trolled right

(14:36):
outside Fenway Park in Boston, there's a huge Derek Jeter
billboard for his new documentary, and people are saying, how
dare it's ESPN? Okay, how dare people let this happen?
A big Derek Jeter face right outside of Fenway. They

(14:56):
respected him when he went on the Farewell tour, but
that's over right. I don't know some some athletes, Yeah,
and Garner respect regardless. I know you're a respectable guy.
You're a resonpectable guy. Speak. I was gonna say, speaking
of Boston, Big Poppy is one of those guys that
I believe. Yeah, it's not that the Yankee fans embrace him.

(15:18):
You may be okay with it. You think you respect him, Please,
you would be okay with it because you're a pretty
reasonable guy. But you think a lot of meatheads and
the Bronx, with their twenty seven rings and their gold
chains and their straight brim Yankee hats being all arrogant.
You think those guys in the Bronx would be cool
with a big Poppy billboard face right outside Yankee Stadium.
Meathhead Goldwin, you know what? Probably not? All right, Well,

(15:41):
we'll take your feedback on this, and like I said
a little Kevin on Richard Vice Next on Fox Sports
Radio and for Dan Patrick. Be sure to catch the
live edition of The Dan Patrick Show week days at
nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio.
In the iHeart Radio WAP Cavino and rich In for

(16:04):
Dan Patrick. You don't say yeah, we're live from the
West Side. You gotta go yay, yay, okay, live from
the Mercedes Been Studio. It's Cavino and rich CNR on FSR.
Everything at Covino and Rich, Thanks for all your feedback,
Thanks for putting up with us. You got two more
days of this. Nice Um. I'm looking at h the

(16:26):
home run Derby possibilities for twenty twenty two. Yeah, should
Pete Alonzo go for the three? Pete? Oh, I know
what's happening here, Spot, I know what's happening. By the way,
Cavino and Rich with Danny g. Monsey, Don Brown Spot,
he's here. Thank you for hanging Riches pretending to bring
up the home run Derby. It was just so that
he could brag about it was just on the MLB

(16:46):
network so that he could brag about what he did
this weekend. I know what's going on. I could see
what's happening. I'm not ragging about any Rich is trying.
He's trying to pretend to keep cares about the home
run derby in the in the bigs. How many times
have we that he could talk about a competition he
was in because he's a superhuman athlete, Rich Davis, he

(17:09):
plays Sunday softball. You play nothing, which is just as
competitive as your Sunday softball togs. Yeah, hot dogs are
you talking about? I'm an athlete, competitive athlete? You make rips?
I had I had sixteen hot dogs this weekend, a
grill that's turned off. Brother in law had a three
a weekend. According to you, I'm an athlete. Um no,

(17:29):
you would have placed one hundred and ninety eight. Yeah,
but still, Hey, but he's in it. I'm in it accounts,
I'm in it, well, Rin Alonso, Just so you know,
he said he will strongly consider going for the home
run derby. Three pet he won in twenty nineteen. There
was none in twenty twenty like his attitude, and there
was one in twenty twenty one. So he's won two
in a row. And he said, if I'm named an

(17:50):
All Star, I'm probably in if he's playing the humble
card here. He's a big strong guy, but he's it's
a pleasure to be I'm a big strong guy. I
had big strong home runs. Just happy to be here
in the competition together this year. I'm a big strong guy.
I'm a big strong guy. I hit big strong home runs.
Polar Bear Pete who I do like. I like his attitude.

(18:10):
I like how he takes it serious. It's fun. It's
one of the most fun competitions I left GM. Yeah,
arguably the best sporting event. Well, Rich and I have
gone to several home run derbys. It's so much fun. Well,
you know what, if you want to bring it up,
then fun. I wasn't even doing that. I had. I
had other things on my little agenda to talk about

(18:32):
here on the Dan Patrick that I know we're gonna
get into a friend in need. Someone hit us up
at Covino and Rich and we're gonna give some advice,
drop some knowledge. But Rich, on his Fourth of July weekend,
I did something really participated, like no one asked him
to do it. I kind of give you credit for
doing this. Oh, it was a it was a blast.

(18:52):
It was something that I think I want to do
every year. My wife and I were saying, what a
good little Fourth of July morning tradition. One my buddy
Zach quick play with said, Hey in Thousand Oaks, which
is about twenty minutes from where we are now, maybe
more probably forty minutes from here, Yeah, a little bit longer.

(19:13):
He goes there doing a home run derby. There's a
park with a rec center and they're doing a little
community breakfast, a home run derby, all these little things
that raising some money. It's five bucks a guy, and
there's a little pancake breakfast where it's a couple of bucks,
old old ladies by the way for charity. That's really low.

(19:35):
Five bucks a guy to enter if you're just raising
money for the little local community centers. No, but you
could splurge a twenty don't you think twenty bucks to
enter have fun hot dogs? Home runs yesterday. I'm just
saying that's really low. I'm surprised it's that low, especially
in today's world. Inflation higher than a trolo socks. Five

(19:58):
bucks to enter a contest, that seems cheap. I say
that again, inflation higher than a cholo socks. You've seen
the meme. You've seen the meme, but five bucks. I'm
surprised since his charity related. It's not Hey, twenty bucks.
I saw the beam that said hire the socks down
or the fool. That's true, though, Let's hire the fool.
There's no so. Yeah, they have a they have this

(20:19):
home run derby, a softball home run derby. Five bucks
a guy and even just participating in this home run
derby having some fun, just taking some hacks, taking some swings,
makes you realize that in all of sports, on a
professional level or at the local park when you were

(20:39):
twelve years old with your friends on a random Saturday, Hey,
what do you guys want to do? Oh? Tackle football? Yeah,
of course, pick up basketball? Yeah, I still feel like
the number one friendly competition three point shootout? Nah? In basketball?
The skills competition, yeah, foot ball, what do they would

(21:00):
do for the kids? The punt pass and kick competition?
The home run derby is the king of all sports competitions.
I'm not going to deny that it is the king
of all sports competitions as far as like a silly
little competition, and there's something magical. I don't even know

(21:23):
another way to put it. No, but when you hit
the ball just right, you know what I mean, and
like the crack of the bat, like you hit that button,
it's like knocking somebody out in boxing. Oh and it
just feels good. Timing was perfect, everything, situations are perfect,
beautiful day, you're hitting bombs. But Richie lost this competition.

(21:43):
Huh yeah, I mean I didn't win. Some some dude
that apparently dominates it every year. He was a former
Olympic player. He goes there, why, oh yeah, you got
to justify it. I don't get the y. Oh, yes,
it was a former Olympic guy. I was never going
to compete against that. What if you competed it ever

(22:04):
in your life. I don't choose to compete the guys
that choose to not compete. Critics, he's training, he was training,
this competed nothing, competed nothing. Critics, you're you're lying. Which
we had hot dogs, we trained. Some guy apparently wins
every year. He hits like every swing just came in
second and cup courses counts. Wait, so what was the total?

(22:26):
Howd to go? Oh? I I hit six. But but
you said you found your rhythm late, right, that's the problem.
You get ten outs much like the Major League Baseball
one and after eight outs, I hit a bunch in
a row, like I found my rhythm, and I'm like, oh,
but it was fun. It's just it's just a reminder
that I think people should do this in every town,

(22:47):
raise money for something to do a home run derby.
Who's not going to participate in a home run derby.
The time was it like nine ten in the morning
on what day, fourth of July? It was perfect time tradition.
My wife and my wife and I were saying every
year only like fun. Part of my day yesterday was
being able to sleep in a little bit. Yeah. Now

(23:08):
we decided that every year. We're like, this is gonna
be you know, you start when you have a family,
start making traditions. Right, You're like, I'm glad you had
a good door. Like you know what they have it
it's an acute little community park. Like I said, there's
old ladies from the community serving up pancakes and sausages
and little you know, pouring your juice a little five
dollars breakfast, five dollars home run derby and you know,

(23:28):
the money just goes to the little community center. And
it was a lot of fun. And there was a fence. Right,
there was a fence. How could you have a home
run derbut without a right? Exactly proving my point earlier.
Now we had someone reach out to us, and I
want to read this to you guys and Monsey, Tom Brown,

(23:50):
Danny j. Everyone get ready to give your advice. I
want to see if you guys are on point with
this one. Am I am? I gonna have to do
my I'm at my best, doctor, Phil, you might have
to hold on. Let me get the email up here.
It's a d M on Instagram at Covine on Rich. Yo,
Covine on Rich. What does that mean? I know you're

(24:14):
filling in for DP today. I was hoping you guys
could help me. I finally met my new girlfriend's parents
this past weekend at a Fourth of July cookout. I
got along with her mom and dad, but I may
have gotten myself in a little deep. Her dad is
a huge Cubs and Bears fan. In an attempt to

(24:36):
impress her and her family, I rolled with conversation and
pretended I was a huge Cubs fan as well. O man,
and I'm a straight up NBA guy. That's it. But
her dad liked me so much he invited me to
a Cubs game next week so he could share in
the fun together. Do I fake it? Do I come

(24:58):
clean and say, hey, listen, I'm not really a baseball guy.
Do I look at this as a challenge? Could it
be that hard to play along? You and I are
going to totally disagree your thoughts on how to play
this again? I really like this girl my first time
meeting her parents, but they think like them. I'm a

(25:19):
huge Cubbies guy. It's from Dan in Chicago, and he
doesn't like baseball at all. He's an NBA guy. Wow
eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. I look at
this as he made a big mistake. Nah, I don't.
Is there any turning back? As the question now? Right? Is? Then?
That looks odd? Like, hey, don't your father, I'm sorry

(25:43):
I lied to you. That's why I say stay in
your lane always, man. I never try to pretend. I
make it very clear. Even if I'm at like the barbershop, right,
They're like, oh, you work at Fox Sports Radio. I'm
like yeah, And they start talking to me about hockey
or college sports, and I'm like, yeah, yeah, you know what.
I don't really focus on that that's not my thing.
I like baseball and boxing stuff like that. I don't

(26:04):
fake it because it's transparent. People are gonna see through it.
People that know are gonna see through it. You're not
speaking the language, you don't know the names, you don't
know the players, you don't know the history. So this
guy what he's gonna do the research on the Cubs
and all of a sudden, pretend people could smell through
that man's right, just like Andre Dawson and Ryan Samberg.
Am I right, bank, Did you know Mark Grace had

(26:28):
the most hits of the nineties. Yeah, I mean, don
what's your first thought? I think that it's not that
big of a deal. Okay, so they're big baseball fans,
Cubs fans. He's not really a baseball guy. But he
held his own enough to where the dad wanted to
invite him to a game. I feel like the pressure
should kind of be off of him because, uh, like

(26:51):
he said, people can smell it, you know, the if
you're not being authentic right, you know, or being transparent.
So I feel like the dad might have kind of
felt that, and maybe this is his attempt to bond
with the guy. And that's a good thing because maybe
he's like, you know what, you are a good guy,
and I like you with my daughter. Let's go to

(27:11):
the game and we can you know, read minds or
whatever a little bit more. I like it, Danny J. Yeah,
but you know what, I respect more someone that's honest.
And yeah, no, I'm still he's not like a liar.
He's not a he's not like your damn liar. He
just he rolled with it, and it seems like he
rolled with it. I'm not a baseball guy, but I can.
I like sports enough to where horse I can speak

(27:33):
about it. But if we're gonna done, but you don't,
don't disrespect my intelligence, like the forty year old virgin
when he was talking about being with a woman, like
everybody knows, but he keeps going with the lies if
everyone's supposed to believe that. It's like, dude, I know
you're not a fan. I know, like I'm the father
of your girlfriend. Like you don't have to lie to
me just to impress me, Like to me, I have

(27:54):
less respect for that. I really do, because then you again,
one line leads to bigger lies and now you go
to be the game, pretending to know all this and
it's more awkward, like he's gonna have to come clean
at one point when he doesn't know something obvious, and
that's a letdown like this, he doesn't know that. Wait
a second, this guy's been lying to me the whole time.
I've caught people's happened before. I've caught people lying to me.

(28:15):
What do you think, Danny J. He's lucky that he
is not a fan of another baseball team, so that's
where he's got some wiggle room here. Imagine her family,
They're gonna definitely investigate his Facebook page and go through
pages and pages of pictures. If he was sitting there
with a Dodgers jersey on or something like that, and
then he's busted, caught red handed, then that's a bad look.

(28:38):
But in this case, since he's not a baseball fan,
he could roll with it. Yo, Monsey, what do you feel?
What are you feeling? I feel like it's one really
cute because he's obviously doing it for the girl. But
now that this is what's happening, you're going to the game.
You need to come clean because yeah, now now you
can't keep the lie going. You're gonna get caught eventually.
But I think also that probably the dad knows that

(28:59):
if they're real, real Cubs fans, they probably could tell
that he was just saying this to impress mom and dad.
He really likes the girl. I mean, just say, hey,
you know, I actually I am not a big baseball man,
but I am a sportsman and I'm so happy to
be here. Yeah, go cuy, you know what. I feel
like it was a good fib There are good FIBs

(29:20):
you could tell. And I feel like him rolling with
the family, having drinks with the family, barbecue, meeting her family.
I don't think this guy is like a piece of crap.
It's not malicious, what a liar. No one's saying that
I remember I went to. But he's setting himself up
for a more embarrassing moment. I find these to be
good challenges, right, Like I went to My daughter is

(29:43):
five years old. To give a little context, I went
to a kid's birthday party and some of the other
parents were nerds. They were talking about like some artsy
stuff that I had no clue about. But I looked
at it as I could carry a conversation with anyone
about anything, like yes, this painting sure smooth, I not Yeah,

(30:04):
the shame and just saying, you know, I don't know
a lot about this, I'm just a fan, Like what,
what's what's wrong? Prefacing it? I always do it just
in order to not get caught out. I'm not a
big fan. I never said I was an expert. That's
that's fair to do. I'm a fan of the whole catalog.
Why you're this this crazy expert in something that you're not.
We we have a friend Shannon and her guy is

(30:30):
not a sports fan, and the whole joke with him,
I'm like, yo, listen, if you ever need to carry
a sports conversation, like, guys that talk about sports love
to hear themselves talk, So just keep affirming what the
other guy says, like hey, can you believe the Lakers?
Then you'd be like, yeah, can you believe them? It's like, yo,

(30:50):
you think they're gonna get Kyrie? And then say something
generic like man, that would be something huh, what do
you think? I mean? What do you think? What do
you think? And then they like me, they'd have to lose,
they'd have to loosen up some money. What are they
gonna do it? Russ? You want this, you'd be a
real conversation. I mean awkward, what what are they gonna
do it? Russ, That's a damn good question question. You

(31:11):
could fake these guess it comes down to the money,
you know, right? I uh, I did you know what?
It is obvious? I think you know you make a
good point never cling to be an expert. But if
someone if you were just rolling in a conversation and
you don't need to say I'm really ablivious on this subject.
I saw I was at the Mets Angels game and

(31:32):
I'm talking to some fans around me. Angels really don't
have many fans, so there's a lot of Mets. There
was a lot of Mets fans. Just can't, like, enjoy yourself.
You gotta talk to everybody. Yeah, this guy can't. He
has no chill. Rich Davis, what was the last time
you go to a game? Oh? Man, I didn't that.
I didn't invite you too. Oh man? I mean that
was how That's impossible because it was like two weeks
ago we went to the before before the Mets Dodgers game,

(31:54):
which I bought you taken and invited you. The last
game you went to before that? Uh? Probably blee. Well
last she was COVID. Before that, I went to a
I went to a Lakers game. I went to a
Dodgers game. Are these left over Fourth of July awkward
burgers being served at? Sound like you go every day?
You haven't been guys fight nice man, But there was

(32:15):
a Mets fan there, and you know, when you go
to a visiting stadium and you see fans of your
own team, you give a little fist bump, like go Mets.
The guy made a reference like, wow, what was the
last time they made the playoffs? I'm like, every Mets fan, yeah,
shit off the top of their head, No, the last
time they made the playoffs? Because it's not often right,
you know, like like, don't what you wear really a fan?

(32:37):
Then wear the grom jersey and you can't even tell
me when the last time the Mets made the playoffs?
Like you are you? Like you're on drugs? What the
hell's wrong with you? This sounds creepy, Like Danny j
If you met a Dodgers fan and he's like and
he's like, oh, what was the last time the one
in the world char She's like, I don't know, two
years ago, your bird brain? Yeah, I mean, there's obvious
signs when somebody's a front runner, well aggravating, but and

(33:00):
you don't you can't outnowledge people sometimes like you don't
want to play that game. Sometimes if they're super knowledgeable
in a particular arena baseball football team specifically, sometimes he's
just like, yeah, yeah, I know you're the encyclopedia. I'm
I'm good. Why are you like trying to show off
real quick? My final thoughts, Yeah, I don't think his
father in law is gonna sit there and do a

(33:21):
Cubs trivia the whole time. I think they're gonna get
caught out there embarrassing, enjoy themselves. And I think this
is a good opportunity for what's his name, Oh this
Dan in Chicago. Dan in Chicago. He doesn't have a team.
He can fill this void with his girlfriend's family's team.
You know what, he could he write spot, he could say, right,

(33:43):
he could say he'd fill the void with this. He
could and they'll consume him as a He could backpedal
a little bit and be like, you know, sir, I'm
more of a Bulls fan. I'm more of an NBA guy.
I watch a little Bears, but uh yeah, I'm really
getting into the Cubs with you. This is uh, you know,
I'm learning a little more baseball. Wait till he finds
out now that her family are big into scientology and

(34:04):
he's like, oh yeah, all right, l Ron Harvard R
oh yeah, Truvolta am I right? All right? We have
more Camino and rich In for Dan Patrick next on
Fox Sports Radio CNR. On FSR, we never faked the funk.
If I don't know something, I'm gonna tell you or

(34:26):
I'm gonna do one of these things you ever have, Well,
we have this happen all the time. Get Cavino and
rich In for Dan Patrick live from Mercedes Bench Studio.
Someone will call up and ask us what we think
about some obscure like race car driver, Hey man, what
do you what do you think about? Uh Danny Winkerbean?

(34:46):
And I'm like, he clearly I don't know. So I'm
not gonna fake it. I'm on Fox Sports Radio. I'm
supposed to pretend now you know what I know about
every sport and every guy I say, well, what do
you you tell me what you think? That's exactly what
we you do. I mean, you know, we're letting you
in on the secrets here. But hey, clearly you called
about the guy, you have something to say, Well, you

(35:07):
know what, what do you think about him? Yeah? Some
guy calls up and I'm not gonna pretend like I
have an opinion when I know we're talking about I
don't know NBA or baseball, and some guy's like, hey, comedo, Rich,
what's your thoughts on Iowa State's offensive line? I don't
about you tell about what do you think about Iowa
State's offensive line? Chris all right, All no again, You're
not being disingenuous with that. You're just saying, well, hey,

(35:30):
what do you think? In an I'll form an opinion
based on whatever you say? Should we let Danny g
Don and Moncy no, the Camino rich politician trick oh please,
and not even them, just everybody listening, every Fox Sports Radio.
It's a good one. The FSR nation. Let them know this.
This is a good one. If you're having a conversation

(35:51):
about sports, music, anything and someone says, uh, hey, Danny
g what do you think of Johnny ripplebum? Ripplebum? Yeah,
it's got to rip the bump, and you're like, who
are they talking about? Here's what you say? You go, oh,

(36:13):
the politician and then they immediately get insecure like, oh,
that's a politicians. They then think like, oh, there's also
a politician with that name like Dan Patrick. Yeah, yeah, politician,
the politician. So you say the politician and then it
gives them a doubt for a second, like, oh, there's

(36:34):
also a politician. Thinks, Wow, he just outsmarted me. He
thinks I'm talking about the politicians. I was talking about
the golfer. I'm talking about the golfer. Do I feel
dumb now? And then that guy might even feel inclined
to be like, yeah, politician, you know. Yeah, then that
puts you on the spot though. He's gonna have to
talk primaries with Yeah, yeah, he bet he walks out
of that elevator at there. What do you think of

(36:55):
Doug Johnson? Oh, the politician? Oh I was talking about
the he was talking about the fly fisherman. Oh, but
you just outsmart at them. So anytime you don't know
the name, just say, oh, the politician. Do you mean
the politician? Oh? I thought you were talking about the
politician catches people, it does guards And like oh and hey,
where you had no knowledge whatsoever. Now they think you're smart,

(37:17):
but you know, we're talking about lying to your future
in law about how much he likes sports. I think
it's a no, no, you don't fake the funk. People
could smell that out, you know. Buddy. Mike was saying,
he interviews people here, interns, potential interns here at Fox
Sports Radio, and he could smell out immediately when they're
just beyond fans and they're just bssing faking the funk.

(37:40):
But sometimes sometimes you lie for the greater good of
your relationship, right, And I'll tell you what I do sometimes,
and tell me if I'm wrong in doing this. Okay,
I'm a lot older, not in a creepy way, no creepo,
but I'm older than my girlfriend money you brag about it. No,
it's true. I am right. How it was prom Now,

(38:02):
it's not one of those like you've you've you've been
on those Instagram pages where you scroll back too far
and you're like, wow, this girl she's in hight. Yeah,
you know, like, what's a role if you scroll that
too far and you see her prom photos? Yeah? Yeah, good? Right,
So it's not that I mean, my girlfriend's thirty, right
and you're sixty and I'm sixty five. What's the big deal.

(38:22):
What if the prom pictures are from twenty twelve in
her Facebook? That's that's fair. That yeah, that's ten years ago. Well,
I do subscribe to the plus seven minus thing, you know,
when I'm talking about half your age plus half your
age plus seven. I subscribe to that. That's a good formula.
And every once in a while her dad, who knows

(38:43):
that I'm older, right, Yeah, he brings a whole lot
closer to her dad. I'm I think I might be. Yeah,
actually I am. I am, because he's won like fifty
five right. He'll bring up a lot of old school
sports references. But then he'll say he'll give me like
the Curtis see of like, yeah, you probably don't know
who that is, and I pretend like you're right. Sometimes

(39:05):
I'm like, you're right. I know. I don't want you
to think that I know who Robin Youwn is because
my daughter was born in the nineties. Yeah, dude, I was.
I was in Idaho, right, And he goes, you see
that house up there in the hill, and I'm like, yeah,
he goes, Bill Buckner, he's down that house. Hey, probably
don't know him, And I'm like, of course I know Bill,

(39:26):
but I don't want to remind this guy. I reminder
you know, I'm in my forties. I'm in my forties,
and I'm getting your thirty year old daughter. So I
just let's wake that clear. I know, but there's apartment.
But that's just just one example of something that happens
a lot. He'll bring up something about, you know, the
olden days of sports, John Stockton, you probably don't remember him,
and Karl Malone. I think I remember the politician John Stockton, Yes,

(39:49):
running for the politician, the politician, But there's a lot
of times. You know. Again, I don't pretend like I
don't know, but I don't necessarily jump at the conversation
where I normally would, you know, I'm because I don't
want to advertise that I'm significantly older, and like, of
course I know that you understand, so again, but it
helps you. It was some great fights back in the day.
Cavino got fighters you probably don't know about, like Haggler

(40:11):
and her tell me more. Yeah, yeah, but again, I
feel like he likes me as that guy. So I
don't want to change that guy, you know what I mean? Like, yeah,
you're right out teach me about Ozzie Smith teach me
about sugar rate. Leonard, you know what I mean, So
of course I know. But I'm only lying or pretending,
I guess for the greater good of the relationship, which

(40:31):
I do understand. You think this guy's good, you should
have seen Joe Montana and Dan Marino play. I don't
see it anywhere when your relationships are based on lies.
So hey, if you have a friend that need, we're
gonna be here the next two days. Yeah, any sort
of advice that you need. We're experts. We got over
ten thousand hours in this hit us up at Covino

(40:52):
and Rich on social media at Covino and Rich so much.
I want to talk to you about UFC two seventy
six in a little while. What about it? Something out
of Sania did that I thought was pretty cool and
totally in your wheelhouse? Oh? Out of Sanya? Do you
mean the the MMA superstar who you posted a picture

(41:14):
of you me and him with my eyes closed because
you think you look better in that picture? No, because
you said I cut you out of it, and I
told you why. That's why I said the picture I
wanted to post your eyes were closed, and then I
found another with my eyes open it since you come Yeah,
so I'm supposed to post it one on my page
where you look better use your brain. You posted one
where my eye called eyes were open. I posted it

(41:35):
because he said he was complaining that I cropped him out.
That's why I did that. Typical Coveney covene on wretch
for Dan Patrick. We have more next right here on
Fox Sports Radio Tuesday
