ten thousand recommending the installers tire rack dot com. We

he wants more old school masculinity. I missed dominant masculine.
What is masculinity? We work here exactly and we also
put our podcast up every day right after the show.
(01:09):
Danny g super producing hard at work, So check the podcast.
Search Cavino and Rich wherever you get your podcast. Be
sure to follow Rate and Review now because there's a
lack of dominant masculinity, according to Jerry Seinfeld, and I
think there's truth to that. I walked into the studio
today and I saw a giant box of rand these
(01:33):
donuts that Kiris brought in, and I said to myself,
I can't have one of those moment on the lips,
lifetime on the hips. No thanks, And then I realized
how lame that was. I said, you know what a man,
real man, dude, and that house the biggest one there.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Wait, no, no, you're supposed to go in for like
the smallest sugar ground.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know what. Curius went out of his way, and
I appreciate it. I'm thankful he brought in a box
of donuts the girly man Hans and Franz style. Thought
maybe I'll take a little bunny nibble of it. Maybe
I'll cut a little piece. And then I said, nah,
I'm bringing manhood back, masculinity back. I'm gonna eat the
whole thing. I've plenty of it. I've seen plenty of
(02:16):
memes of people making fun of I guess you would
say the you know, commonplace of people cutting donuts in
half at the workplace, I got take the whole doughnuts,
little pieces until you finish it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, But Jerry Seinfeld, I missed dominant masculinity, and I'm
bringing it back. You should see. I ate the biggest
one Creamfield chocolate on top, the giant one in the box.
Did you hear what Jerry Seinfeld said? I don't like
Caleb Williams fingernails. No, I didn't say that. Caleb Williams
is part of a big announcement today, as Monty Bolanio said,
and Dan Byn told us, I believe August sixth the
(02:52):
Bears hard knocks. I'll be tuning in and thank you
guys for tuning in to us Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. Let's se're it for Danny j Yeah,
Happy Thursday. Hell yeah, let's hear it for Iowa Samuel?
What up Iowa sam And Monci is still hanging out.
But I think Dan Byer's coming back. But it's one
big Fox Sports Radio party. What up Moncy? It's like
(03:14):
a tag team situation over there.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Does he tag you out? We're doing a double team here?
Whoa is that in your new contract? Wow? Thank you? Monci?
What would you say? There are they sort of like uh,
demolition bushwhackers like accent smash, yeah, demolition. We started the show,
and you heard the the show open with Mike Tyson
(03:38):
and I have a trivia question for you guys to
start the show. Sure. I was in Denver, Colorado, Colorado
Springs to be exact, the Springs, and my nephews like,
uncle Rich, can you play video games with me? And
I'm like, yeah, let's do it. So I start playing
some of his video games. And I'm weak because I
don't you know, you're a grown ass man. You don't
(03:59):
really know some of the newer video games. You're not
going to compete with a teenager. And he said, I
have all the old games too, So I go break
out Mike Tyson's punch Out just for a minute, and
just like that, I felt like I was back in
my little Mike Tyson's punch out rhythm. Remember King Hippo
hit him in the face one time and then belly
(04:20):
belly belly belly knock him out one time He's done, yeh,
pants fall down. You remember the whole thing. Don Flamenco
with the big hooks. You just move away one time
and you get them. Because this was punch Out. Mike
Tyson took his name off it, obviously because of Wright's reasons.
The guy at the end is not Mike Tyson. It's
(04:40):
a white version of the same figure Nintendo created. Who
is the last guy you face on punch Out? When
it's not Mike Tyson's punch Out, Mister Sandman, you have
Super Macho Man, Soda Popinski. It's not Piston Honda. They
were the same body type. Piston Honda and Tyson were
(05:01):
the same in the video game Mike Tyson's punch out
in the final In the actual arcade, it was Baul Bull,
it was Glass Joe. It's different. You're saying the regular
Nintendo version, was it, mister Sandman, Good guess, but not.
You know, you fight Piston Honda a couple of times,
a couple of times you get von Keiser. Yeah, mister dream,
(05:24):
Mister dreamed, mister dream, because I told my nephew, I
got I go. You want to hear some mental muscle
memory from Uncle Rich's childhood double O seven three seven
three five nine six three. A little punching sound, and
I'm like, wait a minute, that's not Mike Tyson. That's
white Mike Tyson because you know the graphics. Back then,
(05:47):
it was really just Mike Tyson, but with light skin.
Then they call mister Dream.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I remember my cousin playing that you would not
share the controller.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Mister Dream looks like Howie Long. He fights how We
Long at the end of the game. But remember your
starting lineup figures that you put on your dresser as
a kid. They were all the same. They just changed
the uniforms and the color of the skin, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it's like, yeah, it's like bubbleheads when we were kids. Yeah,
did colors?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Who is the catcher of the Dodgers in the eighties,
Mike Sosha. Your Mikessha starting lineup was Mike Gary Carter.
They just added a perm and it's the same thing, right,
same mold, Yeah, same mold. So uh yeah, mister Dream
for all the old school Nintendo nice freaks, I saw that.
I'm like, mister Dream, huh, doesn't have the same pizazz
(06:37):
as Mike Tyson's funny great fighting. You're an upper coming boxer.
That was the arcade. Man. I used to look body blow,
body blow. I used to weigh so many quarters. Body blow,
and there was always some kid trying to jump in
my game. Body blow, body blow. So thank you guys.
Speaking of eighties kids, nineties kids, we're gonna throw it
back today, throw Back Thursday, Old school in fifty hits.
(06:57):
It involves the eighties and and social media. What we'll explain,
and of course we might argue about Lenny Kravitz. He's
also in the news along with Jerry Seinfeld, who wants
some masculinity back. And I figured we'd start off today's
show rich with Jorge Lopez and what happened yesterday with
(07:21):
your Mets, who are about to get swept. It's embarrassing.
The state of the Mets is embarrassing. Francisco Lindor Nimo.
They call the team meeting after getting beat again, and
I'm like, I don't know, do team meetings work. Maybe
once in a while that pumps better than not having one.
I don't know if they work, but doing nothing also
doesn't work. I saw Mets owner Steve Cohen, now that
(07:44):
was before the blown game, after a game against the Dodgers,
saying that he still thinks the Mets are a wildcard team,
a playoff team. Let me tell you third worst record
in the National League with a payroll like that and
high hopes, and I think all the feelings of Met
fans and Mets players came out through Jorge Lopez yesterday. Well,
(08:09):
this is a question of was Jorge Lopez misquoted? Was
it a language barrier, or is it the media stirring
things up again? And you're gonna have to decide. It
could be a little bit of everything here. I think
we can all agree that if he wasn't misquoted, he
wasn't necessarily wrong. The Mets stink. So it's very frustrating,
(08:31):
but all right, so the progression of events, he argues
a check swing by Freddie Freeman. H umpires had enough,
you're out here, throws out Lopez on the way to
the dugout in total frustrated, like the guy's playing Rex
softball or high school baseball. When you let your emotions
get the best of you. The guy takes his glove
(08:54):
throws it over the netting into the crowd. Some lucky
fans holding up a sweet new black leather rawlings kind
of make it clear if you haven't seen it, though,
it wasn't like an aggressive throw into the stands it
was almost like a frustrated tossup. Yeah, it was like
it was just a toss up into the stands, almost
like here you go, I'm done with that. Noeless untucked
(09:18):
his jersey, had like an f everyone look on his face,
and yep, I just don't want the visual to be
off because when you say he threw the glove into
the stands, he could have thrown it like at a fan,
you know what I mean, that's not what happened. I
think it was worse that he untucked the jersey, just
had that apathetic like, oh, don't give an f look. Yeah,
it's not something you losses it. And then here's where
(09:42):
the real dramatics start. Like already it's like, oh man,
the Mets are in such a bad spot as a team, that,
like I said, sort of symbolizes where they're at this year.
In fact, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez, you know, a
couple of Mets legends on the broadcast were sort of like, man,
that's just that's a look that that just shows where
the team's at. Like that's, like I said, symbolic of
(10:05):
the fails so far in the twenty twenty fourth campaign.
But then they get to the locker room, everyone has
a moment to cool down, and our former coworker, really
good dude, Steve Gelbs, who's like the main sideline reporter
for SNY. We had a TV show throw back Thursday
on SNY Live from Times Square, and we were working
(10:27):
there when Steve Gelbs was just getting his feet wet.
He replaced Why am I dring a blank? I'm gonna
let you try to find the name Kevin Burkhart. I
was gonna say KB KB was the guy, and man,
he had some swag back then to fill he has
some swags still, but Burkhart was the guy. Gelbs replaced him.
(10:47):
So we were there when all that happened in transitioned.
So Gelb's been doing this for like a decade now. Yeah,
gets to talk to Jorge Lopez and you're thinking, oh,
here's this guy's opportunity to say I overreacted, my bad,
sorry to my teammates, and Gelp starts with do your gratitada? Listen,
(11:10):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I don't regret it. I think I've been looking the
words team in probably in the whole MLB. So you know,
whatever happened happened. So whatever they want to do it.
I'll be tomorrow here if they want me, you know,
whatever they want to do. So I'm gonna keep doing
this thing, you know, so I'm healthy on whatever, you know,
(11:35):
whatever to do. You know, I'm I'm ready to come
back tomorrow if day want me be here, so I'll
be here.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You're not here because a couple hours later he was
let go by the New York Mets. But there's a
part of this we're missing. Did did did you get
the follow up from Gelves? Galves wanted to clarify, hold on,
did you just say that you're playing for the worst
(12:03):
team in the MLB, And he sort of confirms, like, yeah,
that's what I said. But still, when you listen to
what he actually said, he says teammate. He does say teammate,
So there's a clear language barrier because Gelps does the
investigation and he does say, hey, is that what you meant?
And he does. Lopez does double down and yeah, that's
(12:25):
what I meant. But then you fast forward to today
and he said, no, no, no, no, that's not what
I said. He says he's talking about himself being a
bad teammate. He didn't call the Mets the worst team
in MLB. Take a listen to the follow up from Gelps.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Just to clarify what what you said, just because I
didn't fully understand. Did you say I'm on the worst team?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Is that what you had said?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Probably it looked like.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Then that they were embarrassed by you. Is that what you?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah? Probably looks like yeah, but he's just saying, are
you saying you're on the worst team? Probably looks like.
I know, Gelves is doing a great job, and he's
great at what he does, so it's no knock on him,
but I think he almost put those words in his
mouth at that point. What a guy said. Not listening
to words that Lopez said, Lopez says teammate when you're
(13:19):
reading the script, because when when this clip went viral,
you're reading and it says team yeah, but you're like,
hold on, he said teammate. So you have to believe
the guy when he comes back later on and says, wait,
hold on, language barrier, that's not what I said. I
said I'm the worst teammate. And then when you listen
to what he says after that, he's talking about himself
(13:39):
and about him and him and him, So I do
believe him. It's really a question of do you believe
the original story or is the media just stirring things up,
or do you believe the follow up, which came out
today courtesy of s n Y and ESPN, he said
he doesn't regret it, and then I heard him say,
I play for the worst. You're half. This is a
matter of green needle And what was that brainstorm?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Brainstorm right when you texted this to all of us
in the group chat yesterday afternoon, Rich Coveno and I
heard the same thing the very first time we played
the clip. In fact, what did I tell you Covina?
Right after we looked at it sounded like he said teammate.
I was like, wait a second, it sounded like he
said teammate.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But the story was he said team and that's why
he was designated for assignment because it's a bad look
and nobody needs that type of attitude in the locker room.
And then going public with that sort of statement. I
also don't think Steve Gelbs led him. I think Steven Gelves.
I think Steve Gelbs heard what I heard it like
(14:39):
that was his intent. Rich, I just said, it sounds
like he fed him something and he disagreed with it,
like yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, probably play one more time.
I mean, I don't Again, I don't think Gelves was
looking for something salacious. I think he genuinely heard like
I don't either. Like that clear, I'm not saying Gelves
was looking for the salacious headl line. I think that's
(15:02):
what he thought he heard, but that's not what he said.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I don't regret it. I think I've been looking the
worst team in probably in the whole MLB. So you know,
whatever happened happened. So whatever they want to do it,
I'll be tomorrow here if they want me, you know,
whatever they want.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
To do there. I think he heard said the worst
team in the whull fn MLB. I heard team, And
so you could believe whatever you want, right and you
could believe the story that came out yesterday, which was
he said team, or you could believe what came out today.
So that's really what it comes down to. You do
you believe what came out yesterday or do you believe
what came out today, which is he saying. I didn't
(15:44):
say that. I said I was a bad teammate. I
didn't call them. That's the worst team in the MLB.
He was talking about himself. Yeah, that's also courtesy of
s n Y as of today and ESPN, who reported it.
That's what he said. He said, I don't regret it,
but I was. He was frustrated with himself. So it's
really a matter of what you believe. What do you believe?
(16:06):
Is he doing damage control today? Absolutely? In fact, the
last thing smy tweeted, the last thing sounds like a
major language barrier. The last thing the Mets Network s
n Y put on social media was a progression of
the events. Seven PM questions the check swing, seven oh
one PM ejected, seven oh one throws a glove into
(16:27):
the stands. Fast forward a couple hours now, we're looking
at nine o'clock he gets let go by the team. Yeah,
but five hours ago he's saying, whoa, that's not what
he said. That was the latest report. Take a listen
to the follow up from GELBS yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Just to clarify what what you said, just because I
didn't fully understand. Did you say I'm on the worst team?
Is that?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Is that what you had said?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Probably it looked like.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Does that's how you probably looks like ya if you
didn't know the language. Rich.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You know how some guys have translators and we know
they don't really need them. In this case, it sounds
like he really needs one because it doesn't sound like
he understands the follow.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Up question, youy, can I tell you Jorge Lopez loves
both of you and you know what I for his day,
He'll get another chance somewhere probably, but he's hoping that
everyone is on team Danny gen Kavino where it's like
garl language barrier. Regardless, he wasn't wrong because your Mets
are guarding everything about his attitude from arguing the pitch,
throwing the glove in the stands. Is that not sort
of on brand with Yeah, I'm on the worst fan team?
(17:33):
Like it seems like the guy had a moment. He
did what everybody on that team wants to do. And
it's a matter and Fox Sports Radio Nation, we leave
it to you. You heard where I stand. It's a
matter of do you believe the original story or do
you believe the latest story from sn Y. It's the
same source, the same source. And then ESPN reported this
five hours later, five hours ago, that that's not what
(17:57):
he said or that's what he's saying, that's not what
he said. He said teammate, not team. But if he
said team on a personal note me personally, I don't
blame him. I don't blame him one bit. If that's
what he said. Well, see, according to it's funny usually
getting all these different sources. And there's a big sports
(18:17):
writer in New York that followed up with, well, because
that's the juicier story, though followed up with he said
both when when asked again, like, yeah, I'm a bad
teammate and I'm on the worst team. Well, because that's
what Kelvis led him to say. He's like that, he said,
(18:38):
He's like, yeah, probably. I mean we heard it three times.
You make the call. I'm telling you where I stand
on it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But
it did make me think this. We hear stories, we
hear rumblings, we watch it with our own eyes to
see how frustrating it is sometimes when you're playing for
a bad team. But I don't think we really understand
(18:59):
how bad it could get, like how miserable and toxic
it could get. It's in the locker room when things
are that bad, you know what I mean, Like, that's
how frustrating. What we saw is what people usually keep
behind closed doors in the locker room, as they should.
I'm not defending his behavior. I'm just saying I understand.
(19:20):
I think we fail to realize sometimes how bad it
really gets because we've never really been there. Imagine being
under those bright lights one hundred and sixty two games
with people that don't care what, people that are half
fast in it, not putting the heart and effort that
you put into it. You're just losing every day, embarrassing,
your value is going down, You're struggling, You're mentally struggling.
(19:43):
We don't know the nightmare that they go through. We
hear about it, heard athletes talk about the difference in
a clubhouse or locker room of a winning team and
a losing team. In fact, this is about as close
as you're going to get to see it. I mean,
I have an example of that. I'll tell you in
a second. But nine to nineteen last night, this is
after the GELBS interview Anthony Dicomo, who is a big
reporter in New York for sports works with SNY regarding
(20:06):
the confusion of whether or not Lopez was on the
worst team or was the worst teammates. Lopez explained to
teammates and other medias the members of the media that
it was a combination of both. He claims that he's
the worst teammate on the worst team. Well, that's what
he said. And then he also just agreed with Gelves.
What aren't you hearing now? You're confusing me because you're
(20:28):
going back to nine pm yesterday when I'm telling you
five hours ago. The update is he said he was
the worst teammate. It's right here, it's right here. So
why are you sticking with that because we're seeing things
on the same timeline. Because I'm seeing on SNY, the
(20:48):
Mets Network, on Instagram four hours ago what I'm reading
to you now, okay, five hours ago on ESPN via SNY.
That's not what he said. That's not what he said.
And again that could be. That could be great pr
damage control. Let's get this guy picked up somewhere else.
Let's not make him the worse. I'm with you there, Rich,
(21:09):
I'm with you, could be just hey, they spun it
because it sounded like he could have said both. But
I do believe he said teammate. I do, And then
he was sort of led somewhere else, and at a frustration,
he agreed, Look, there's a language barrier here, as you've
been saying over and over again the past few days.
(21:30):
You got to give him some grace here. He's playing
for the weakest team. No one's gonna debate that. I
think there's a language barrier. I do. So what you're
saying is yes, yes cc oh, so I guess he
is saying it. Yeah. Probably. He's been playing in the
Big since twenty fifteen from Puerto Rico. What do you
(21:52):
guys think it's interesting? Actually, it's a really good question.
It's a matter of do you believe the original story
or do you believe the update. I don't know. It's
not a guy that came up through the Mets system,
so it's not like he owes them anything like a
lot of foreign players. Yeah, feel like a closeness to
the team that drafted them from a foreign land. They
(22:14):
have that connection, right. This is a guy that's been
through the bigs, Milwaukee Brewers, he started with Dan Byer's
team in twenty fifteen, Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins,
Miami Marlins, Baltimore again, then the Mets just a thought,
could they be I think they're just trying to go
easy on this guy because it was it's the Mets
are in a rough spot and the guy's been let go,
(22:37):
so go somewhere else. You know, he'll fill someone else's
But I do hear a teammate. I hear teammate. You know,
he did throw his glove, he did show frustrations. It's possible,
he said, team and again he's been again. When you
read team, you hear team's you're thinking teammate. Can you
(23:00):
do me a favork? Can you do an experiment? Yeah?
Can you think teammate? And maybe you'll hear teammate? I will, Samuel,
if you don't mind one more time, everybody, Fox Sports, Radio, Nations,
close your eyes unless you close your eyes and think teammate.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I don't regret it.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I think I've been looking the worst team in probably
in the whole MLB. So you know, whatever happened happened.
So whatever they want to do it, I'll be tomorrow
here if they want me, you know, whatever they want
to do.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So he's talking about repercussions after being the worst teammate
in the MLB, that's how I took it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That's how I heard it. I did too. I was like,
it didn't sound like you said team to me. Well
he'll he'll find the new home. Yeah, he's no longer
met And by the way, good for him. I would
want to get off that team too. You could say,
what a bush league baby, move right, what a sports
baby throwing his glove and crying and breaking unwritten rules
of disparaging your team and teammates to the public. But
(24:04):
he got out of that nightmare. So you there's another
discussion in itself by doing the wrong thing. Did he
do the right thing for himself? I don't know. So
get a lot of phone calls on this boy. What
a wild day, Jenny g You see just what news
alert just came up?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, we gave you the headline, and I said, I'm
not sure if you guys want to discuss this, but
maybe maybe at least acknowledged.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Let's say this. We'll take your phone calls and feedback
on Jorge Lopez. Do you believe the original story or
the spin or the update, however you want to look
at it, let us know, and do you think he
did the right thing after all? Because he's off the
Mets now designated for assignment. Yeah. Sometimes maybe maybe he
did the maybe that was the great move all along. Yeah, right,
unpopular but worked out to his benefit. We'll see and
(24:51):
we'll take your phone calls on that. But Rich, give
us the breaking random news you got. Yeah, Donald Trump
guilty on all thirty four felony charges and he'll be
sentenced on July eleventh. What will happen there for the
hush money trial? And uh, it's interesting because I did
(25:12):
read something yesterday about the judge is going to be
the one that we'll be able to assign whether it's
jail related or probation related. So that's that's very interesting
because that we're going to have our first president who's
elected behind bars. It's a mess. Could be, could be.
(25:32):
That's so he gets sworn in from the from the
big House. Again, this is not a political show, but
the real question is a breaking breaking if he is
well I heard this, the appeals alone would take us
past the election. So if he's elected president, which a
(25:53):
lot of us think is likely, and then the appeal,
this is a mess. Huh, well, Buck call up, Buttercup.
It's a mess. It's a mess. Hey, Donald Trump, are
you guilty of all thirty four charges? Se? See probably
which which you thought your mets were a mess?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
He threw his glove into the stands see probably yes, probably, yes,
He's designated for a different assignment.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That's wild alright. Hey, uh well, we'll get more coven
On rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio now
for centuries, so I'll give this. The bond between horse
and human has been forged by trust and hands on care.
Now the sport of thorbret racing is combining those traditions
with cutting edge technology and meaningful reforms, raising the safety
standards to the highest levels. New investments in wearable biometric
(26:48):
devices that measure subtle changes in the horse's stride and
the use of advanced imaging technologies helped flag potential prompts
for early intervention by expert veterinarians, reducing injury risk. Scientific
experts test, measure, and analyze racing surfaces to ensure consistency
in the sports. New independent regulator, the Horse Racing Integrity
and Safety AUTHORITA, is implementing the comprehensive reform, including state
(27:13):
of the art testing, monitoring, and strict enforcement, along with
new safety standards, enhance veterinary protocols and other measures to
ensure the safest environment possible for racing, meaningful reforms, the
latest technology, higher standards every day. The sports at Quine Equine,
Equo Equine at Quinet feats are surrounded by an ecosystem
of care and a commitment to do more to protect
(27:34):

Speaker 1 (28:32):
All right, let's play a game. Let's take some guesses
around the room. By the way, Covino on Rich Fox
Sports Radio, would you say about hush money, Donald Trump,
the big news alert, guilty of all forty three counselors
at thirty four? Thirty four? Yeah, thirty four. The question
(28:52):
is what athlete will voice their opinion? First, I know
Robert de Niro, the Raging Bull. He's doing carwheels outside
the courthouse. I saw Dennis Quaid. Could you call him
an athlete since he's been in and he's a clown.
He's a punk. He's not a real New Yorker. He's
a punk. Do you see Dennis Quaid, though, who's played
(29:14):
an athlete in more than one way? That Trump's his
a hole, he's voting for Trump. Yeah, so, I mean
I saw that. I wonder what athlete. Will there be
a big time athlete in the NFL, NBA somewhere that
comments on the Trump trial? Harrison Budker, I don't know, Yeah,
someone somewhere kelsee, I mean, yeah, that's breaking news. Well,
(29:40):
the hush money, yeah, Covington maybe hush money charges again,
guilty on all thirty four charges. And then I played
you some deep purple Iowa Sam played you some deep
purple hush. But I'm just doing this out there. There's
a great cover by Coolest Shaker if you want to
check it out. Coolest Shaker had a cover of that
song back in the late nineteen hundreds, I believe ninety.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
By the way, really quick conspiracy theories rolling in on
Facebook already. Trump's sentencing set for July eleventh, four days
before the Republican National Convention starts.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It's a conspiracy, Come on, man, debate? Does it give
a little more posaster to that debate? Remember we said
the two big showdowns this summer June twenty seventh, Trump
Biden and then Jake Paul Mike Tyson July twentieth. So, uh,
politics aside. And by the way, you know what the
funny thing is when you do sort of try to
(30:32):
see all sides of things, everyone hates you. Our liberal
friends call us, you know, right wing Trumpers, and our
Republican friends say we're la Weeni's living out here on
the West Coast. That means you're in the middle, which
means you're in the middle because if republic normal, if
Republicans say you're liberal and liberals say you're a Trumper,
(30:53):
that means, uh, you sort of an independent change. You
take each social issue or one financial issue one by
one and you make a a good logical decision. It's
a hard plate, it's a hard life to live. And
by the way, we get that feedback every day all
the time, because not only do we do our show
here on Fox Sports Radio, we also have a Patreon
and you should see the feedback we get. And it's like, Noell, clearly,
that means we're in the middle. Guys to be shocked.
(31:15):
It's like, how could one how could a liberal person
say this about and a Republican say this? It's wild?
But hey, let's uh, let's talk Lopez for a second.
They'll go to Dan Bai for an updates the other
story that's dividing the nation. I see this is small potatoes. Now,
whoor hey, Lopez thrown is Glove in the stands saying
that he is on the worst team or is he
(31:37):
saying he's the worst teammate? It doesn't really matter now,
but either way, sort of a fun story. Who do
we got DANNYJ. Let's go to Brian in Missouri. Brian,
what's up?
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Hey, guys, great show, great topic. Thanks man, I think
if you listen back to it, he says, I've been looking,
and I think he did not say the word like,
looking like the worst teammates in the MLB. I think
it's the word like because of his language barrier is
missing in that sentence if you put it in there,
(32:08):
he is talking about himself.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And by the way, if you're right, man, it's sort
of unfair. It really is. And there will be a
lot of people that have his back because that's that's
not fair. Here's a guy who doesn't speak English that well, yeah, rich,
that headline caught fire. Truthfully, everybody ran with it. It's
the funny part is no one's hating on this guy
because it's funny because the Mets are so bad right
(32:33):
now that he's not getting real. But he was designated
for assignment as a result. No items DESNATD for Simon
because he's been stinking it up and that was probably
just the icing on the cake. And well, the whole
team should be designated for assignment. You know what, I
don't disagree. Well, more quickie, what do we got? Curtis
in San Bernardino, California, Kurt Ti, Hey, buddy Fellas, what's
(32:55):
up all right, So I think there's a language barrier.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
The part that got me was where he was saying that,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Maybe to me, if he just said the team sucks,
he would have been like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
No, they suck or or whatever.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
But to me, it sounded like it was a little
bit of so doubt.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
So he was like, yeah, yeah, I guess maybe I'm
my worst player in our teammate in the world.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, bro, he is a ten year major leaguer.
He'll be fine. It's a funny story. We'll forget about
it by the end of the day. But I remember
last night Danny g and I and Covino, we were like,
what is this true. We're you know, texting each other
different articles and clips and stuff because people want that
juicy story. I kind of wanted that. You want, No,
for real, it's it's a better story. It's we're sallacious
(33:36):
if it's bleed. If it bleeds, it leads, And we
wanted to believe that. He said that it's the worst
team in MLB history, But it's not, according to him,
it's not what he said. Now I've been watching the Mets.
He's not far off, all right. Dann Bayer. Let's get
an update, all right, guys?
Speaker 8 (33:53):
Yeah?

Bears will be the team featured in training Camp on

tour hit a bird, a lah Randy Johnson. It didn't explode,
but and it was on its way down where like

(36:31):
the rest of our Thursday night just got way more interesting.
Oh with this Trump's news spacesides, t Wolves, MAVs tonight.
How about Republicans versus Democrats on social media? Speaking of
social media, we're going to discuss it old Scott fifty hits.
Wait a couple of minutes. Yeah, and just a minute,
we're going to throw it back on a Thursday to
(36:51):
the eighties and nineties. What does social media have to
do with it? We'll explain. But Facebook, Instagram, Facebook especially
is going to be the most annoying. And Twitter, Yeah
that's what your mom and dad hangs out. Yeah, because
again Trump guilty on all thirty four charges and I
just saw John d hit us up. Season two forty
nine of America is gonna be insane season. That's funny. No,
(37:14):
but Dan Meyer said it too off the air. It's like,
you know, you kick the hive man, and it's just
gonna cause so much remblings, so much rumbling on social media. No,
for real, you just got everybody off, get hired up,
and everyone's gonna be debating and everybody thinks to right
and you're the show used to work for. OutKick Clay Travis.
(37:36):
He posted something interesting and it's uh for Trump supporters
or just you know, I guess you would say swing voters,
which I don't know if that exists anymore. Will this
make you more or less inclined to vote for Donald Trump?
And he's already got in like a minute, tens of
thousand people already chiming in on that. So it's it's
very interesting time, which is why I'm gonna sit back,
(37:58):
ignore it all and watch a t Wolves win.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I just texted Clay Travis. I said, congratulations, you don't
have to do any show prep for the next two months.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
So seriously, Yeah, honestly, it's like sports radio during the
NFL season. You don't really need to do, but we
could any day. There's ten football stories. This is his playoffs,
I guess right, because the super Bowl's coming interesting, man,
so check the time. I'm picturing Clay Travis and everyone
on right wing television radio and left wing they're all like,
(38:28):
you know, how like when little flies when you zoom
in on a fly, they're like rubbing their fingers together.
Like like I'm picturing every political pundit, talk show host,
talking head all just fired up that they're gonna hit
or without clothing or they're one making I picture them
they yeah, because they're really excited about this, taking their
pants off. Yeah they are. You know, look at the clock.
(38:48):
Fifty has hit. There's a surgeon. What we gonna do
is go back.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Back into town, throwing it back for Thursday. Old school
went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you the
time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Yeaheah boy.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
We said already social media is gonna be a nightmare tonight.
Everybody with their opinions. This yeah, Divided States of America
continues tonight. Whatever season two forty nine, it's gonna suck tonight.
But speaking of social media and speaking of Throwback Thursday,
(39:32):
we throw it back when fifty hits, and we ask
you Fox Sports Radio Nation to pretend with us, throw
it back with us back to the eighties, the nineties,
when you were rocking your parachute pants, playing pac Man,
when you had your mushroom haircut, listening to sound Gordon.
Hell yeah, let's pretend it's the eighties or the nineties.
(39:54):
Run DMC. And you have social media, you have Facebook's
to say face. By the way, do you remember the
first time someone described certain social medias to you? Yes?
I remember Como, it was your it was it your ex. Yeah,
there's is think twits that you put down your thoughts,
and I remember you being like, who cares about that?
That's stupid. I remember my buddy Nico, one of our
(40:16):
good friends. We saw in Arizona Danny g He's like, yo, man,
there's this new thing Instagram. I was like, so that's
like Facebook or MySpace with just pictures, and he's like, yeah,
but it's gonna be big. I'm like, I don't think so,
how would anyone want to see my pictures? That's dumb.
I don't know, but my Space when I ate, it's
so stupid. Just for the record, we're coming up on
twenty one years almost right now, the twenty year anniversary
(40:37):
of when my space was founded. So so my friendship
with Tom has been twenty years long. You've been pals
with Toime, You've known Tom just a little longer than Tom.
Here's everybody's friend. So the question is this in the
world of social media. As we just said, my Space
launched twenty years ago. Let's pretend it's the eighties or nineties.
Let's pretend the eighties or nineties and you have social media,
(40:59):
you have face. What's something you would have posted back then?
It could be sports related, it could be star related,
could be anything. So let's pretend you had social media
back then. What would you have posted? Or ask yourself
what events? Whether they be sports, politics, news events, tragedies,
happy things like one of my biggest flexes your home
(41:21):
runs in literally well you know what, my god, would
you took the words right out of my mouth? I
would would have posted your status. Yeah, I would have
posted my Little League stats. Not even Aaron Judge could
claim he had twenty seven out of the park. Literally,
how I would have definitely been posting that. Covino would
have made his parents like, Mom, Dad, do you put
together like you like a little compilation of my home
(41:44):
runs like a video collage, well VHS compilation. Post that
on Facebook make the family proud, for sure. But think
about your flexus or maybe the teams that you were for.
What would you have posted if it existed? Think about
when Michael Jordan here's a good one, when mj stepped
away from basketball and they were the rumors like did
he step away or did the NBA secretly tell him
(42:05):
leave for a little while? You don't think that would
have been the most controversial talked about social media story.
Of course it would. I think we would have viewed
his career completely different. Well, you know what your thoughts
at coven on rich are eight seven, seven nine nine

(00:47):
ten thousand recommending the installers tire rack dot com. We
tire buying should be. Cavino referring to the headline of SIFELDD,
he wants more old school masculinity. I missed dominant masculine.
What is masculinity? We work here exactly and we also
put our podcast up every day right after the show.
(01:09):
Danny g super producing hard at work, So check the podcast.
Search Cavino and Rich wherever you get your podcast. Be
sure to follow Rate and Review now because there's a
lack of dominant masculinity, according to Jerry Seinfeld, and I
think there's truth to that. I walked into the studio
today and I saw a giant box of rand these
(01:33):
donuts that Kiris brought in, and I said to myself,
I can't have one of those moment on the lips,
lifetime on the hips. No thanks, And then I realized
how lame that was. I said, you know what a man,
real man, dude, and that house the biggest one there.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Wait, no, no, you're supposed to go in for like
the smallest sugar ground.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
You know what. Curius went out of his way, and
I appreciate it. I'm thankful he brought in a box
of donuts the girly man Hans and Franz style. Thought
maybe I'll take a little bunny nibble of it. Maybe
I'll cut a little piece. And then I said, nah,
I'm bringing manhood back, masculinity back. I'm gonna eat the
whole thing. I've plenty of it. I've seen plenty of
(02:16):
memes of people making fun of I guess you would
say the you know, commonplace of people cutting donuts in
half at the workplace, I got take the whole doughnuts,
little pieces until you finish it.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah, But Jerry Seinfeld, I missed dominant masculinity, and I'm
bringing it back. You should see. I ate the biggest
one Creamfield chocolate on top, the giant one in the box.
Did you hear what Jerry Seinfeld said? I don't like
Caleb Williams fingernails. No, I didn't say that. Caleb Williams
is part of a big announcement today, as Monty Bolanio said,
and Dan Byn told us, I believe August sixth the
(02:52):
Bears hard knocks. I'll be tuning in and thank you
guys for tuning in to us Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. Let's se're it for Danny j Yeah,
Happy Thursday. Hell yeah, let's hear it for Iowa Samuel?
What up Iowa sam And Monci is still hanging out.
But I think Dan Byer's coming back. But it's one
big Fox Sports Radio party. What up Moncy? It's like
(03:14):
a tag team situation over there.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Does he tag you out? We're doing a double team here?
Whoa is that in your new contract? Wow? Thank you? Monci?
What would you say? There are they sort of like uh,
demolition bushwhackers like accent smash, yeah, demolition. We started the show,
and you heard the the show open with Mike Tyson
(03:38):
and I have a trivia question for you guys to
start the show. Sure. I was in Denver, Colorado, Colorado
Springs to be exact, the Springs, and my nephews like,
uncle Rich, can you play video games with me? And
I'm like, yeah, let's do it. So I start playing
some of his video games. And I'm weak because I
don't you know, you're a grown ass man. You don't
(03:59):
really know some of the newer video games. You're not
going to compete with a teenager. And he said, I
have all the old games too, So I go break
out Mike Tyson's punch Out just for a minute, and
just like that, I felt like I was back in
my little Mike Tyson's punch out rhythm. Remember King Hippo
hit him in the face one time and then belly
(04:20):
belly belly belly knock him out one time He's done, yeh,
pants fall down. You remember the whole thing. Don Flamenco
with the big hooks. You just move away one time
and you get them. Because this was punch Out. Mike
Tyson took his name off it, obviously because of Wright's reasons.
The guy at the end is not Mike Tyson. It's
(04:40):
a white version of the same figure Nintendo created. Who
is the last guy you face on punch Out? When
it's not Mike Tyson's punch Out, Mister Sandman, you have
Super Macho Man, Soda Popinski. It's not Piston Honda. They
were the same body type. Piston Honda and Tyson were
(05:01):
the same in the video game Mike Tyson's punch out
in the final In the actual arcade, it was Baul Bull,
it was Glass Joe. It's different. You're saying the regular
Nintendo version, was it, mister Sandman, Good guess, but not.
You know, you fight Piston Honda a couple of times,
a couple of times you get von Keiser. Yeah, mister dream,
(05:24):
Mister dreamed, mister dream, because I told my nephew, I
got I go. You want to hear some mental muscle
memory from Uncle Rich's childhood double O seven three seven
three five nine six three. A little punching sound, and
I'm like, wait a minute, that's not Mike Tyson. That's
white Mike Tyson because you know the graphics. Back then,
(05:47):
it was really just Mike Tyson, but with light skin.
Then they call mister Dream.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I remember my cousin playing that you would not
share the controller.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Mister Dream looks like Howie Long. He fights how We
Long at the end of the game. But remember your
starting lineup figures that you put on your dresser as
a kid. They were all the same. They just changed
the uniforms and the color of the skin, let's be honest.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
So it's like, yeah, it's like bubbleheads when we were kids. Yeah,
did colors?
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Who is the catcher of the Dodgers in the eighties,
Mike Sosha. Your Mikessha starting lineup was Mike Gary Carter.
They just added a perm and it's the same thing, right,
same mold, Yeah, same mold. So uh yeah, mister Dream
for all the old school Nintendo nice freaks, I saw that.
I'm like, mister Dream, huh, doesn't have the same pizazz
(06:37):
as Mike Tyson's funny great fighting. You're an upper coming boxer.
That was the arcade. Man. I used to look body blow,
body blow. I used to weigh so many quarters. Body blow,
and there was always some kid trying to jump in
my game. Body blow, body blow. So thank you guys.
Speaking of eighties kids, nineties kids, we're gonna throw it
back today, throw Back Thursday, Old school in fifty hits.
(06:57):
It involves the eighties and and social media. What we'll explain,
and of course we might argue about Lenny Kravitz. He's
also in the news along with Jerry Seinfeld, who wants
some masculinity back. And I figured we'd start off today's
show rich with Jorge Lopez and what happened yesterday with
(07:21):
your Mets, who are about to get swept. It's embarrassing.
The state of the Mets is embarrassing. Francisco Lindor Nimo.
They call the team meeting after getting beat again, and
I'm like, I don't know, do team meetings work. Maybe
once in a while that pumps better than not having one.
I don't know if they work, but doing nothing also
doesn't work. I saw Mets owner Steve Cohen, now that
(07:44):
was before the blown game, after a game against the Dodgers,
saying that he still thinks the Mets are a wildcard team,
a playoff team. Let me tell you third worst record
in the National League with a payroll like that and
high hopes, and I think all the feelings of Met
fans and Mets players came out through Jorge Lopez yesterday. Well,
(08:09):
this is a question of was Jorge Lopez misquoted? Was
it a language barrier, or is it the media stirring
things up again? And you're gonna have to decide. It
could be a little bit of everything here. I think
we can all agree that if he wasn't misquoted, he
wasn't necessarily wrong. The Mets stink. So it's very frustrating,
(08:31):
but all right, so the progression of events, he argues
a check swing by Freddie Freeman. H umpires had enough,
you're out here, throws out Lopez on the way to
the dugout in total frustrated, like the guy's playing Rex
softball or high school baseball. When you let your emotions
get the best of you. The guy takes his glove
(08:54):
throws it over the netting into the crowd. Some lucky
fans holding up a sweet new black leather rawlings kind
of make it clear if you haven't seen it, though,
it wasn't like an aggressive throw into the stands it
was almost like a frustrated tossup. Yeah, it was like
it was just a toss up into the stands, almost
like here you go, I'm done with that. Noeless untucked
(09:18):
his jersey, had like an f everyone look on his face,
and yep, I just don't want the visual to be
off because when you say he threw the glove into
the stands, he could have thrown it like at a fan,
you know what I mean, that's not what happened. I
think it was worse that he untucked the jersey, just
had that apathetic like, oh, don't give an f look. Yeah,
it's not something you losses it. And then here's where
(09:42):
the real dramatics start. Like already it's like, oh man,
the Mets are in such a bad spot as a team, that,
like I said, sort of symbolizes where they're at this year.
In fact, Ron Darling and Keith Hernandez, you know, a
couple of Mets legends on the broadcast were sort of like, man,
that's just that's a look that that just shows where
the team's at. Like that's, like I said, symbolic of
(10:05):
the fails so far in the twenty twenty fourth campaign.
But then they get to the locker room, everyone has
a moment to cool down, and our former coworker, really
good dude, Steve Gelbs, who's like the main sideline reporter
for SNY. We had a TV show throw back Thursday
on SNY Live from Times Square, and we were working
(10:27):
there when Steve Gelbs was just getting his feet wet.
He replaced Why am I dring a blank? I'm gonna
let you try to find the name Kevin Burkhart. I
was gonna say KB KB was the guy, and man,
he had some swag back then to fill he has
some swags still, but Burkhart was the guy. Gelbs replaced him.
(10:47):
So we were there when all that happened in transitioned.
So Gelb's been doing this for like a decade now. Yeah,
gets to talk to Jorge Lopez and you're thinking, oh,
here's this guy's opportunity to say I overreacted, my bad,
sorry to my teammates, and Gelp starts with do your gratitada? Listen,
(11:10):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
I don't regret it. I think I've been looking the
words team in probably in the whole MLB. So you know,
whatever happened happened. So whatever they want to do it.
I'll be tomorrow here if they want me, you know,
whatever they want to do. So I'm gonna keep doing
this thing, you know, so I'm healthy on whatever, you know,
(11:35):
whatever to do. You know, I'm I'm ready to come
back tomorrow if day want me be here, so I'll
be here.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
You're not here because a couple hours later he was
let go by the New York Mets. But there's a
part of this we're missing. Did did did you get
the follow up from Gelves? Galves wanted to clarify, hold on,
did you just say that you're playing for the worst
(12:03):
team in the MLB, And he sort of confirms, like, yeah,
that's what I said. But still, when you listen to
what he actually said, he says teammate. He does say teammate,
So there's a clear language barrier because Gelps does the
investigation and he does say, hey, is that what you meant?
And he does. Lopez does double down and yeah, that's
(12:25):
what I meant. But then you fast forward to today
and he said, no, no, no, no, that's not what
I said. He says he's talking about himself being a
bad teammate. He didn't call the Mets the worst team
in MLB. Take a listen to the follow up from Gelps.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Just to clarify what what you said, just because I
didn't fully understand. Did you say I'm on the worst team?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Is that what you had said?
Speaker 4 (12:51):
Probably it looked like.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Then that they were embarrassed by you. Is that what you?
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah? Probably looks like yeah, but he's just saying, are
you saying you're on the worst team? Probably looks like.
I know, Gelves is doing a great job, and he's
great at what he does, so it's no knock on him,
but I think he almost put those words in his
mouth at that point. What a guy said. Not listening
to words that Lopez said, Lopez says teammate when you're
(13:19):
reading the script, because when when this clip went viral,
you're reading and it says team yeah, but you're like,
hold on, he said teammate. So you have to believe
the guy when he comes back later on and says, wait,
hold on, language barrier, that's not what I said. I
said I'm the worst teammate. And then when you listen
to what he says after that, he's talking about himself
(13:39):
and about him and him and him, So I do
believe him. It's really a question of do you believe
the original story or is the media just stirring things up,
or do you believe the follow up, which came out
today courtesy of s n Y and ESPN, he said
he doesn't regret it, and then I heard him say,
I play for the worst. You're half. This is a
matter of green needle And what was that brainstorm?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
Brainstorm right when you texted this to all of us
in the group chat yesterday afternoon, Rich Coveno and I
heard the same thing the very first time we played
the clip. In fact, what did I tell you Covina?
Right after we looked at it sounded like he said teammate.
I was like, wait a second, it sounded like he
said teammate.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
But the story was he said team and that's why
he was designated for assignment because it's a bad look
and nobody needs that type of attitude in the locker room.
And then going public with that sort of statement. I
also don't think Steve Gelbs led him. I think Steven Gelves.
I think Steve Gelbs heard what I heard it like
(14:39):
that was his intent. Rich, I just said, it sounds
like he fed him something and he disagreed with it,
like yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, probably play one more time.
I mean, I don't Again, I don't think Gelves was
looking for something salacious. I think he genuinely heard like
I don't either. Like that clear, I'm not saying Gelves
was looking for the salacious headl line. I think that's
(15:02):
what he thought he heard, but that's not what he said.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
I don't regret it. I think I've been looking the
worst team in probably in the whole MLB. So you know,
whatever happened happened. So whatever they want to do it,
I'll be tomorrow here if they want me, you know,
whatever they want.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
To do there. I think he heard said the worst
team in the whull fn MLB. I heard team, And
so you could believe whatever you want, right and you
could believe the story that came out yesterday, which was
he said team, or you could believe what came out today.
So that's really what it comes down to. You do
you believe what came out yesterday or do you believe
what came out today, which is he saying. I didn't
(15:44):
say that. I said I was a bad teammate. I
didn't call them. That's the worst team in the MLB.
He was talking about himself. Yeah, that's also courtesy of
s n Y as of today and ESPN, who reported it.
That's what he said. He said, I don't regret it,
but I was. He was frustrated with himself. So it's
really a matter of what you believe. What do you believe?
(16:06):
Is he doing damage control today? Absolutely? In fact, the
last thing smy tweeted, the last thing sounds like a
major language barrier. The last thing the Mets Network s
n Y put on social media was a progression of
the events. Seven PM questions the check swing, seven oh
one PM ejected, seven oh one throws a glove into
(16:27):
the stands. Fast forward a couple hours now, we're looking
at nine o'clock he gets let go by the team. Yeah,
but five hours ago he's saying, whoa, that's not what
he said. That was the latest report. Take a listen
to the follow up from GELBS yesterday.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Just to clarify what what you said, just because I
didn't fully understand. Did you say I'm on the worst team?
Is that?
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Is that what you had said?
Speaker 4 (16:53):
Probably it looked like.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Does that's how you probably looks like ya if you
didn't know the language. Rich.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
You know how some guys have translators and we know
they don't really need them. In this case, it sounds
like he really needs one because it doesn't sound like
he understands the follow.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
Up question, youy, can I tell you Jorge Lopez loves
both of you and you know what I for his day,
He'll get another chance somewhere probably, but he's hoping that
everyone is on team Danny gen Kavino where it's like
garl language barrier. Regardless, he wasn't wrong because your Mets
are guarding everything about his attitude from arguing the pitch,
throwing the glove in the stands. Is that not sort
of on brand with Yeah, I'm on the worst fan team?
(17:33):
Like it seems like the guy had a moment. He
did what everybody on that team wants to do. And
it's a matter and Fox Sports Radio Nation, we leave
it to you. You heard where I stand. It's a
matter of do you believe the original story or do
you believe the latest story from sn Y. It's the
same source, the same source. And then ESPN reported this
five hours later, five hours ago, that that's not what
(17:57):
he said or that's what he's saying, that's not what
he said. He said teammate, not team. But if he
said team on a personal note me personally, I don't
blame him. I don't blame him one bit. If that's
what he said. Well, see, according to it's funny usually
getting all these different sources. And there's a big sports
(18:17):
writer in New York that followed up with, well, because
that's the juicier story, though followed up with he said
both when when asked again, like, yeah, I'm a bad
teammate and I'm on the worst team. Well, because that's
what Kelvis led him to say. He's like that, he said,
(18:38):
He's like, yeah, probably. I mean we heard it three times.
You make the call. I'm telling you where I stand
on it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. But
it did make me think this. We hear stories, we
hear rumblings, we watch it with our own eyes to
see how frustrating it is sometimes when you're playing for
a bad team. But I don't think we really understand
(18:59):
how bad it could get, like how miserable and toxic
it could get. It's in the locker room when things
are that bad, you know what I mean, Like, that's
how frustrating. What we saw is what people usually keep
behind closed doors in the locker room, as they should.
I'm not defending his behavior. I'm just saying I understand.
(19:20):
I think we fail to realize sometimes how bad it
really gets because we've never really been there. Imagine being
under those bright lights one hundred and sixty two games
with people that don't care what, people that are half
fast in it, not putting the heart and effort that
you put into it. You're just losing every day, embarrassing,
your value is going down, You're struggling, You're mentally struggling.
(19:43):
We don't know the nightmare that they go through. We
hear about it, heard athletes talk about the difference in
a clubhouse or locker room of a winning team and
a losing team. In fact, this is about as close
as you're going to get to see it. I mean,
I have an example of that. I'll tell you in
a second. But nine to nineteen last night, this is
after the GELBS interview Anthony Dicomo, who is a big
reporter in New York for sports works with SNY regarding
(20:06):
the confusion of whether or not Lopez was on the
worst team or was the worst teammates. Lopez explained to
teammates and other medias the members of the media that
it was a combination of both. He claims that he's
the worst teammate on the worst team. Well, that's what
he said. And then he also just agreed with Gelves.
What aren't you hearing now? You're confusing me because you're
(20:28):
going back to nine pm yesterday when I'm telling you
five hours ago. The update is he said he was
the worst teammate. It's right here, it's right here. So
why are you sticking with that because we're seeing things
on the same timeline. Because I'm seeing on SNY, the
(20:48):
Mets Network, on Instagram four hours ago what I'm reading
to you now, okay, five hours ago on ESPN via SNY.
That's not what he said. That's not what he said.
And again that could be. That could be great pr
damage control. Let's get this guy picked up somewhere else.
Let's not make him the worse. I'm with you there, Rich,
(21:09):
I'm with you, could be just hey, they spun it
because it sounded like he could have said both. But
I do believe he said teammate. I do, And then
he was sort of led somewhere else, and at a frustration,
he agreed, Look, there's a language barrier here, as you've
been saying over and over again the past few days.
(21:30):
You got to give him some grace here. He's playing
for the weakest team. No one's gonna debate that. I
think there's a language barrier. I do. So what you're
saying is yes, yes cc oh, so I guess he
is saying it. Yeah. Probably. He's been playing in the
Big since twenty fifteen from Puerto Rico. What do you
(21:52):
guys think it's interesting? Actually, it's a really good question.
It's a matter of do you believe the original story
or do you believe the update. I don't know. It's
not a guy that came up through the Mets system,
so it's not like he owes them anything like a
lot of foreign players. Yeah, feel like a closeness to
the team that drafted them from a foreign land. They
(22:14):
have that connection, right. This is a guy that's been
through the bigs, Milwaukee Brewers, he started with Dan Byer's
team in twenty fifteen, Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins,
Miami Marlins, Baltimore again, then the Mets just a thought,
could they be I think they're just trying to go
easy on this guy because it was it's the Mets
are in a rough spot and the guy's been let go,
(22:37):
so go somewhere else. You know, he'll fill someone else's
But I do hear a teammate. I hear teammate. You know,
he did throw his glove, he did show frustrations. It's possible,
he said, team and again he's been again. When you
read team, you hear team's you're thinking teammate. Can you
(23:00):
do me a favork? Can you do an experiment? Yeah?
Can you think teammate? And maybe you'll hear teammate? I will, Samuel,
if you don't mind one more time, everybody, Fox Sports, Radio, Nations,
close your eyes unless you close your eyes and think teammate.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
I don't regret it.
Speaker 4 (23:18):
I think I've been looking the worst team in probably
in the whole MLB. So you know, whatever happened happened.
So whatever they want to do it, I'll be tomorrow
here if they want me, you know, whatever they want
to do.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
So he's talking about repercussions after being the worst teammate
in the MLB, that's how I took it.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
That's how I heard it. I did too. I was like,
it didn't sound like you said team to me. Well
he'll he'll find the new home. Yeah, he's no longer
met And by the way, good for him. I would
want to get off that team too. You could say,
what a bush league baby, move right, what a sports
baby throwing his glove and crying and breaking unwritten rules
of disparaging your team and teammates to the public. But
(24:04):
he got out of that nightmare. So you there's another
discussion in itself by doing the wrong thing. Did he
do the right thing for himself? I don't know. So
get a lot of phone calls on this boy. What
a wild day, Jenny g You see just what news
alert just came up?
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Yeah, we gave you the headline, and I said, I'm
not sure if you guys want to discuss this, but
maybe maybe at least acknowledged.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Let's say this. We'll take your phone calls and feedback
on Jorge Lopez. Do you believe the original story or
the spin or the update, however you want to look
at it, let us know, and do you think he
did the right thing after all? Because he's off the
Mets now designated for assignment. Yeah. Sometimes maybe maybe he
did the maybe that was the great move all along. Yeah, right,
unpopular but worked out to his benefit. We'll see and
(24:51):
we'll take your phone calls on that. But Rich, give
us the breaking random news you got. Yeah, Donald Trump
guilty on all thirty four felony charges and he'll be
sentenced on July eleventh. What will happen there for the
hush money trial? And uh, it's interesting because I did
(25:12):
read something yesterday about the judge is going to be
the one that we'll be able to assign whether it's
jail related or probation related. So that's that's very interesting
because that we're going to have our first president who's
elected behind bars. It's a mess. Could be, could be.
(25:32):
That's so he gets sworn in from the from the
big House. Again, this is not a political show, but
the real question is a breaking breaking if he is
well I heard this, the appeals alone would take us
past the election. So if he's elected president, which a
(25:53):
lot of us think is likely, and then the appeal,
this is a mess. Huh, well, Buck call up, Buttercup.
It's a mess. It's a mess. Hey, Donald Trump, are
you guilty of all thirty four charges? Se? See probably
which which you thought your mets were a mess?
Speaker 5 (26:11):
He threw his glove into the stands see probably yes, probably, yes,
He's designated for a different assignment.
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That's wild alright. Hey, uh well, we'll get more coven
On rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio now
for centuries, so I'll give this. The bond between horse
and human has been forged by trust and hands on care.
Now the sport of thorbret racing is combining those traditions
with cutting edge technology and meaningful reforms, raising the safety
standards to the highest levels. New investments in wearable biometric
(26:48):
devices that measure subtle changes in the horse's stride and
the use of advanced imaging technologies helped flag potential prompts
for early intervention by expert veterinarians, reducing injury risk. Scientific
experts test, measure, and analyze racing surfaces to ensure consistency
in the sports. New independent regulator, the Horse Racing Integrity
and Safety AUTHORITA, is implementing the comprehensive reform, including state
(27:13):
of the art testing, monitoring, and strict enforcement, along with
new safety standards, enhance veterinary protocols and other measures to
ensure the safest environment possible for racing, meaningful reforms, the
latest technology, higher standards every day. The sports at Quine Equine,
Equo Equine at Quinet feats are surrounded by an ecosystem

Speaker 1 (28:32):
All right, let's play a game. Let's take some guesses
around the room. By the way, Covino on Rich Fox
Sports Radio, would you say about hush money, Donald Trump,
the big news alert, guilty of all forty three counselors
at thirty four? Thirty four? Yeah, thirty four. The question
(28:52):
is what athlete will voice their opinion? First, I know
Robert de Niro, the Raging Bull. He's doing carwheels outside
the courthouse. I saw Dennis Quaid. Could you call him
an athlete since he's been in and he's a clown.
He's a punk. He's not a real New Yorker. He's
a punk. Do you see Dennis Quaid, though, who's played
(29:14):
an athlete in more than one way? That Trump's his
a hole, he's voting for Trump. Yeah, so, I mean
I saw that. I wonder what athlete. Will there be
a big time athlete in the NFL, NBA somewhere that
comments on the Trump trial? Harrison Budker, I don't know, Yeah,
someone somewhere kelsee, I mean, yeah, that's breaking news. Well,
(29:40):
the hush money, yeah, Covington maybe hush money charges again,
guilty on all thirty four charges. And then I played
you some deep purple Iowa Sam played you some deep
purple hush. But I'm just doing this out there. There's
a great cover by Coolest Shaker if you want to
check it out. Coolest Shaker had a cover of that
song back in the late nineteen hundreds, I believe ninety.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
By the way, really quick conspiracy theories rolling in on
Facebook already. Trump's sentencing set for July eleventh, four days
before the Republican National Convention starts.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It's a conspiracy, Come on, man, debate? Does it give
a little more posaster to that debate? Remember we said
the two big showdowns this summer June twenty seventh, Trump
Biden and then Jake Paul Mike Tyson July twentieth. So, uh,
politics aside. And by the way, you know what the
funny thing is when you do sort of try to
(30:32):
see all sides of things, everyone hates you. Our liberal
friends call us, you know, right wing Trumpers, and our
Republican friends say we're la Weeni's living out here on
the West Coast. That means you're in the middle, which
means you're in the middle because if republic normal, if
Republicans say you're liberal and liberals say you're a Trumper,
(30:53):
that means, uh, you sort of an independent change. You
take each social issue or one financial issue one by
one and you make a a good logical decision. It's
a hard plate, it's a hard life to live. And
by the way, we get that feedback every day all
the time, because not only do we do our show
here on Fox Sports Radio, we also have a Patreon
and you should see the feedback we get. And it's like, Noell, clearly,
that means we're in the middle. Guys to be shocked.
(31:15):
It's like, how could one how could a liberal person
say this about and a Republican say this? It's wild?
But hey, let's uh, let's talk Lopez for a second.
They'll go to Dan Bai for an updates the other
story that's dividing the nation. I see this is small potatoes. Now,
whoor hey, Lopez thrown is Glove in the stands saying
that he is on the worst team or is he
(31:37):
saying he's the worst teammate? It doesn't really matter now,
but either way, sort of a fun story. Who do
we got DANNYJ. Let's go to Brian in Missouri. Brian,
what's up?
Speaker 8 (31:46):
Hey, guys, great show, great topic. Thanks man, I think
if you listen back to it, he says, I've been looking,
and I think he did not say the word like,
looking like the worst teammates in the MLB. I think
it's the word like because of his language barrier is
missing in that sentence if you put it in there,
(32:08):
he is talking about himself.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
And by the way, if you're right, man, it's sort
of unfair. It really is. And there will be a
lot of people that have his back because that's that's
not fair. Here's a guy who doesn't speak English that well, yeah, rich,
that headline caught fire. Truthfully, everybody ran with it. It's
the funny part is no one's hating on this guy
because it's funny because the Mets are so bad right
(32:33):
now that he's not getting real. But he was designated
for assignment as a result. No items DESNATD for Simon
because he's been stinking it up and that was probably
just the icing on the cake. And well, the whole
team should be designated for assignment. You know what, I
don't disagree. Well, more quickie, what do we got? Curtis
in San Bernardino, California, Kurt Ti, Hey, buddy Fellas, what's
(32:55):
up all right, So I think there's a language barrier.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
The part that got me was where he was saying that,
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
Maybe to me, if he just said the team sucks,
he would have been like, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:05):
No, they suck or or whatever.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
But to me, it sounded like it was a little
bit of so doubt.
Speaker 7 (33:09):
So he was like, yeah, yeah, I guess maybe I'm
my worst player in our teammate in the world.
Speaker 1 (33:14):
You know, bro, he is a ten year major leaguer.
He'll be fine. It's a funny story. We'll forget about
it by the end of the day. But I remember
last night Danny g and I and Covino, we were like,
what is this true. We're you know, texting each other
different articles and clips and stuff because people want that
juicy story. I kind of wanted that. You want, No,
for real, it's it's a better story. It's we're sallacious
(33:36):
if it's bleed. If it bleeds, it leads, And we
wanted to believe that. He said that it's the worst
team in MLB history, But it's not, according to him,
it's not what he said. Now I've been watching the Mets.
He's not far off, all right. Dann Bayer. Let's get
an update, all right, guys?

(37:14):
but Dan Meyer said it too off the air. It's like,
you know, you kick the hive man, and it's just
gonna cause so much remblings, so much rumbling on social media. No,
for real, you just got everybody off, get hired up,
and everyone's gonna be debating and everybody thinks to right
and you're the show used to work for. OutKick Clay Travis.
(37:36):
He posted something interesting and it's uh for Trump supporters
or just you know, I guess you would say swing voters,
which I don't know if that exists anymore. Will this
make you more or less inclined to vote for Donald Trump?
And he's already got in like a minute, tens of
thousand people already chiming in on that. So it's it's
very interesting time, which is why I'm gonna sit back,
(37:58):
ignore it all and watch a t Wolves win.
Speaker 8 (38:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
I just texted Clay Travis. I said, congratulations, you don't
have to do any show prep for the next two months.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
So seriously, Yeah, honestly, it's like sports radio during the
NFL season. You don't really need to do, but we
could any day. There's ten football stories. This is his playoffs,
I guess right, because the super Bowl's coming interesting, man,
so check the time. I'm picturing Clay Travis and everyone
on right wing television radio and left wing they're all like,
(38:28):
you know, how like when little flies when you zoom
in on a fly, they're like rubbing their fingers together.
Like like I'm picturing every political pundit, talk show host,
talking head all just fired up that they're gonna hit
or without clothing or they're one making I picture them
they yeah, because they're really excited about this, taking their
pants off. Yeah they are. You know, look at the clock.
(38:48):
Fifty has hit. There's a surgeon. What we gonna do
is go back.
Speaker 6 (38:57):
Back into town, throwing it back for Thursday. Old school
went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you the
time capsule topic and we reminisce together.
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Yeaheah boy.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
We said already social media is gonna be a nightmare tonight.
Everybody with their opinions. This yeah, Divided States of America
continues tonight. Whatever season two forty nine, it's gonna suck tonight.
But speaking of social media and speaking of Throwback Thursday,
(39:32):
we throw it back when fifty hits, and we ask
you Fox Sports Radio Nation to pretend with us, throw
it back with us back to the eighties, the nineties,
when you were rocking your parachute pants, playing pac Man,
when you had your mushroom haircut, listening to sound Gordon.
Hell yeah, let's pretend it's the eighties or the nineties.
(39:54):
Run DMC. And you have social media, you have Facebook's
to say face. By the way, do you remember the
first time someone described certain social medias to you? Yes?
I remember Como, it was your it was it your ex. Yeah,
there's is think twits that you put down your thoughts,
and I remember you being like, who cares about that?
That's stupid. I remember my buddy Nico, one of our
(40:16):
good friends. We saw in Arizona Danny g He's like, yo, man,
there's this new thing Instagram. I was like, so that's
like Facebook or MySpace with just pictures, and he's like, yeah,
but it's gonna be big. I'm like, I don't think so,
how would anyone want to see my pictures? That's dumb.
I don't know, but my Space when I ate, it's
so stupid. Just for the record, we're coming up on
twenty one years almost right now, the twenty year anniversary
(40:37):
of when my space was founded. So so my friendship
with Tom has been twenty years long. You've been pals
with Toime, You've known Tom just a little longer than Tom.
Here's everybody's friend. So the question is this in the
world of social media. As we just said, my Space
launched twenty years ago. Let's pretend it's the eighties or nineties.
Let's pretend the eighties or nineties and you have social media,
(40:59):
you have face. What's something you would have posted back then?
It could be sports related, it could be star related,
could be anything. So let's pretend you had social media
back then. What would you have posted? Or ask yourself
what events? Whether they be sports, politics, news events, tragedies,
happy things like one of my biggest flexes your home
(41:21):
runs in literally well you know what, my god, would
you took the words right out of my mouth? I
would would have posted your status. Yeah, I would have
posted my Little League stats. Not even Aaron Judge could
claim he had twenty seven out of the park. Literally,
how I would have definitely been posting that. Covino would
have made his parents like, Mom, Dad, do you put
together like you like a little compilation of my home
(41:44):
runs like a video collage, well VHS compilation. Post that
on Facebook make the family proud, for sure. But think
about your flexus or maybe the teams that you were for.
What would you have posted if it existed? Think about
when Michael Jordan here's a good one, when mj stepped
away from basketball and they were the rumors like did
he step away or did the NBA secretly tell him
(42:05):
leave for a little while? You don't think that would
have been the most controversial talked about social media story.
Of course it would. I think we would have viewed
his career completely different. Well, you know what your thoughts
at coven on rich are eight seven, seven nine nine
