I heard. Yeah. And the sports combining hands on care
with cutting edge tech to keep everyone safe. Learn more
at Safety Runs First dot com. That's Safety Runs First
dot com. You get some invested in the Yankees, and
I don't blame you. They're forty two and nineteen and
on their way to win over one hundred games. And
I told you before the season. I told everyone, and
(01:56):
it wasn't like a told you so moment. It's pretty obvious.
I said, if Soda, Aaron Judge, and John Carlos stay healthy, like,
I'd be shocked if they don't win one hundred games,
because that's a meat of a lineup. And by the way,
you know that's really eat reaping the benefits aside from
the fans, Volpi having that protection line up everyone else
in that lie. I think I'm gonna be on Bursch,
(02:16):
Monsey and Bo's podcast because they're big Dodgers fans and
Yankees take on the Dodgers this weekend. I'm ready to
talk about Verdugo Vato speaking of Vatos locals forever, because look,
they are trying to pitch around these big sluggers, then
they have to pitch to Verdugo and he's just slain
and every time with big hits. Mande. I thought they
(02:36):
were trying to build momentum on that podcast to talk
about the Yankees. Yeah, rating with Cavino talking about Volpi
again number one Yankees fans. So anyway, enjoy your baseball,
enjoy your Godzilla, you're clipped on Hulu whatever you're watching,
and thank you for or hopefully you're enjoying our show.
I was saying, easy for you to enjoy baseball. But
(02:58):
you know what, there's like a set sad hope for
most National League teams because, as I pointed out the
other day, if you look at the wildcard race in
the NL, it is so lopsided that the American League
is dominant. There's a few power teams in the NL
a LA, the Phillies, the Dodgers, the Braves, where everyone
(03:19):
else below that is so mediocre that a team like
the Mets ten games under five hundred, could we know
ten games they're twenty five and thirty five, are four
games out of the wildcard, So it gives you some
stupid hope, like, well, if we bang out eight of
the next ten, or you know, if you win twelve
with the next fifteen, it gives you some stupid hope.
(03:41):
Where we remember we talked about how football teams sometimes
it's bad to be mediocre because you're not forced to revamp. Yeah,
you're just coasting by. If you are the Arizona Diamondbacks
and you're twenty eight and thirty two, four games under
five hundred and your one game out of the wildcard,
(04:03):
it gives your organization no real urgency to make some
moves or do something to get serious about it. Yeah,
he speaking of your Mets as of right now for
the first time in Major League Baseball history, because I
follow this call, so you know me with this annoying
standing stuff. The third Wildcards under five hundred, it's pathetic.
The worst wildcard from my memory might have been like
(04:26):
an eighty four win team, like you look at like
eighty four and seventy eight or something. But right now
the Cubbies would make the postseason at twenty nine to
thirty one. So there is hope for your poor ass
National League team that stinks right now. Win nine out
of ten and you're a wildcard team. Go on a streak.
It's not impossible, not at all. But for your Mets,
(04:49):
I'd say they're done. And like I said, speaking of
the Mets, Darryl Strawberry had a big moment this past weekend. Yeah,
sort of went under the radar, but it was in
my algorithm, it was in my reality. He got his
number retired at City Field, and it was sort of odd.
(05:10):
I thought he said the coolest thing that he could
say to the fans. You know, it's like it's like, uh,
you know, you wish every ex girlfriend hit you up
and like you were the best I ever had. I'm
so sorry. Yeah, I still hope that for that phone call,
that admission one day, Isaac, get that phone call all
the time from the whole flames. Sure like women women
like Isaac. I can't believe I blew with you. You
(05:31):
were the best I ever had. Pretty much, yeah, all
the time Darryl Strawberry pulled an Isaac X's girlfriend, he did.
He apologized to the fans of New York of the Mets,
saying that he should have never left. Take a lesson,
and I mean it's from the bottom of my heart.
I'm so sorry for ever leaving your guys.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I'm truly did sorry that I ever left card I've
never played baseball greater.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Than your guys. It's pretty awesome. That's what the fans
needed to hear. He was a legend, period, but a
legend with the Mets for sure. And that goes back
to our previous conversation about Kyrie and his regrets with
(06:26):
the Celtics. He was in a different place back then.
He's addressed it. He was going through a death in
the family. He wasn't the guy he is now, Let's
put it that way. And you could see that, you
could visibly see that he's in a different place now
and he regrets flipping the bird to the Celtics and
to the fans. In twenty twenty two, after a tough
(06:48):
run in Boston. Now he's competing against him this week.
So based on Darryl admitting that he's sorry that he
was wrong for leaving New York, based on Kyrie for
admitting that he was wrong for the way he played
and conducted himself to the fans of Boston that he's
excited to compete against him. Now, we ask you, are
there other stories in sports, of course, where you know
(07:11):
they must regret it. We always bring Robbie Cano into
the conversation because he chased the money. Dude. He was
set up to be the face of the Yankees. He
was he had everything, the stats, the swing, the style,
the fans. Dominican guy in New York. They love their
Dominican players. Look at Soto now, he had the money
in New York. He had everything right, and he went
(07:33):
to Seattle. Was never the same. He ended up playing
for the SpongeBob SquarePants in the minor leagues, so he
ended up playing for your Mets. Those regrets professionally, personally,
let's hear them. I got one professionally. Hold. I gotta
ask Danny, though, when Daryl did come to the Dodgers
as a little boy, do you remember the excitement or
oh yeah, well he still had that sweet swing. I
(07:55):
saw a list of the top ten lefty swings of
all time, and you would imagine Griffy was number one,
Darrel at number two. You know who had like a
poor man's Darryl sort of swing. Darryl Boston, you guys,
was a white soccer met because he played in New York.
And I remember thinking he swings like Daryl. I just
don't hate like.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Daryl, really, but he's sound like Yes, little kids, we
all tried to mimic the Darryl Strawberry batting stance. Yeah,
Rich when he came to the Dodgers, we were so
excited we thought he was going to hit fifty home runs.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, I remember if he was that good. I remember
that being a sad time as a Mets fan when
you lost Daryl to the Dodgers. But as far as regrets,
I have one quick story I'll share and then I
have a personal one. But think of some others. Yeah,
if there are sports stories where you remember the athlete
came back and said, you know, I wish I hadn't
have done that, or I'm sad I did that. I
(08:48):
was interning when I was nineteen years old, twenty years old,
young kid. And the night before my last day, we
all went out, like a lot of the you know
people radio station went out. Let's just add one to
one too many cocktails. I woke up feeling rough, not
a good morning that morning, where like your head feels
(09:10):
like someone is stomping on it, put your head in
a vice. So I skipped my last day of my
internship to find out like the boss has bought me
a cake and everything like a farawell, like what you've
been our best intern? Like great job and where this
is WPLJ in New York City. They don't exist anymore so,
(09:34):
but I regret it. I remember being like, oh, I
feel like such an ass. What am I doing? I
skipped the last day to find out they were gonna
surprise me with a cake. Yeah, that's a workplace, regret.
That's where we're getting that mind simple and it involves
sports kind of sort of. The reason Rich and I
love working here at Fox Sports Radio is because, well,
(09:55):
they hired us, because they trusted us. They knew what
we were capable, beloved, they knew what we did. What
we do here on Fox Sports Radio is what we've
always done right, and Fox Sports Radio hired us to
do that, and they let us do what we do
at our previous job. Although it was awesome at ESPN,
(10:18):
awesome meaning grew up watching ESPN, grew up watching Sports Center.
Finally get your shot at it. I wish I would
have leaned into being me a lot more as opposed
to playing it safe, you know what I mean. I
remember hearing the I played by their rules because I
(10:39):
felt I had to, when I should have just been more.
I'm not saying I was fake. I remember I played
it safe. I remember the phrase the ESPN way, and
I'm like, right, what does that mean? Right? Like, I didn't, Man,
this is my shot on TV, this is my shot
on ESPN, and I didn't want to blow it because
(11:00):
you know, it was a great opportunity, so I didn't
want to cross any lines. So I played it safe
when I should have really leaned into what we were
really about instead of letting other people tell us what
to do. That's a big regret of mine, even though
I did my best and we have that opportunity and
I'm proud of it. When I do look back, I
have a little bit of regret that, man, I let
(11:20):
these other guys tell me what to do instead of
doing what my instincts told me what to do. A
lot of people have a regret where they left a
job that was great for a little more money somewhere
else and they realized, ooh, that little more money was
not worth this sucking new place.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It happens vice versa too, where sometimes people are too
safe and they're like, I'm gonna stay here, I never
want to leave, and they realized who did leave went
on to do big things.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
It's funny you say that, because I had the opposite experience.
In the year two thousand, I got a job offer
to program a hip hop radio station in Honolulu, and
I did not take it. It was a little bit
more money, obviously the cost of living there is really high.
But when I came back from the job interview, my
current general manager at the station I was at said
(12:11):
I'll match their offer, so he matched it. But looking back,
if I could do it over again, I think I
probably would go to Honolulu and back then. With the
money they wanted to pay, I mean they were talking
like one hundred and twenty thousand a year, I could
have bought property there.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Man, I can picture you in a hula skirt.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
So that's one thing I think of from time to time, Like, man,
what if I took that Hawaii job.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Rich did a radio on Hawaii. They called him the
Big Buffuna. Yeah, the Big Buffua. So I got a
few sports once too as a fight fan. You don't
think Roberto Duran regretted no Moss for the rest of
his life. That dude's been talking about no mos for
forty years. He's considered one of the Kings of the ring, right,
(12:57):
the four Kings. Hagler, Hearn's Leonard Durant, and he's still
talking about no Moss and he swears he never said it,
and people are like, you quit against Sugarrette Leonard. He's
like he's he said in Spanish, no seaguing. That's what
he says, that he's not carrying on because he couldn't
deal with Leonard's antics. But again, I'm sure he regrets
(13:17):
that till this day. Mike Tyson, who he talked to
every too, every other Tuesday here on the show, you
don't think he regrets biting the ear of that wonderful man,
as he says, the beautiful man Evander Holyfield. Of course,
he does looking back, so many regrets charging. He regrets it.
(13:39):
In fact, Madion, we learned about that in the Nolan
Ryan documentary, that he only charged because his teammates like
forced him to. Like, if he hit someone, you got
a charge. You think, Nolan Ryan, you think he wanted
to fight, Probably a guy he looked up to and admired.
No way, and then again that's stuck with him all
(14:00):
those years. People don't remember. I mean they do, but
they don't how great Rob Menturo was. He always remembered
as stupid highlight and it was something he chose to do.
That's the difference. Right, So workplace regrets, we all have him,
everybody has him, could have done things differently. Kyrie, He's
(14:20):
no different. Kyrie said, I regret giving the fans in
Boston the middle finger. It was a rough time in
my life. Darryl Strawberry again this week said I regret
leaving you fans in New York. I should never have
left the Mets. I think Boston they'll they'll give him
some flack for sure, but I think deep down they
respect the honesty there. Okay, we all can no, I mean,
(14:41):
don't you. I sort of hate it on Kyrie back then, like,
what's his deal? Could I give you the biggest sports
regret in Boston? Sure? I mean maybe others getting rid
of Ruth maybe better, you know, other than Babe Ruth.
Yeah what the Red Sox? Yeah, nineteen eighty six. I
know the year well, because it's the only baseball thrill
as a Mets I have Game six Boston Red Sox
(15:05):
manager John McNamara every other game in the regular season.
This is a true story, every other game. If it
was close and late, he would replace Buckner with Dave Stapleton.
And Dave Stapleton was a great defensive first baseman. But
because the Red Sox had a significant lead, you remember
the Mets had to score three runs in that inning
(15:26):
to win that crazy Game six, they said, ah, he's
earned it. Keep Buckner out there. You don't think John
McNamara has lost sleep over going against what he did
all year. And instead of saying McNamara, hey, Stapleton, get
in there, he's like, oh, Buckner, you could be out
there for the bottom of the ninth. I'd regret leaving
(15:48):
Bob Stanley in there. Didn't he throw it pitches? Bob
Stanley stunk.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
And then more recently, how about watching Betts tear it
up at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Oh yeah, getting rid of Bets there. You know, when
you think of it that way too, there's a lot
of teams from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Kansas
City Royals that just let so many superstars, you know,
slip through their fingers, and they moved on from them
because they couldn't afford it. They had to have a
lot of regrets getting ridis I. I got another one
that was very West coast, a very West coast World
(16:21):
Series over twenty years ago. The Yeah, it was two
thousand and two when the Anaheim Angels of Mighty Southern
California Anaheumtull of Fullerton, when the California Angels and the
Giants played in the World Series. That was the Rally
Monkey year on Scott's Spiezio days when Dusty Baker pulled,
(16:43):
you know, he made some pitching changes right and so
confidently thought they were gonna win the world that when
you had the Scott' Spezio soul patch and he died
of orange. It's a very special time I remember that.
But which was all about it? There were some definite
you don't think Dusty Baker regrets on some of the
decisions made in that World Series. For sure. Live it,
you live with it, you deal with it, you grow
(17:04):
from it. And that's what we're seeing with Kyrie too.
I think it's it's a really great opportunity for him
to compete with the utmost respect to those fans that
he feels he did wrong, and in a way he did.
They wanted to love him and get excited about him,
but it didn't work out. Now he's playing against them,
so I regress. I wanted to get the exact moment
(17:26):
Dusty Baker handed the ball to the pitcher, leaving the
game as a souvenir for when they win the World Series.
And that's when the Angels came back and won the
won the series. But yeah, Dusty Baker or Teez handed
his manager of the ball. Baker called them back and
(17:48):
gave them the ball like, y'all take this. This will
be your souvenir because we won the World Series. Not
so fast, Dusty Baker. Wow, twenty two years ago, and
I knew there was a more in depth story that
was a sports regrets, workplace regrets. You know, we all
have life regrets eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
(18:08):
if you want to add to them otherwise at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio to share. I might
have one more. I'll keep you waiting for it, but
I do want to get you ready for Shack Diesel
Whack Diesel trivia. Oh. I don't want to get into
specific games, but I'm thinking of like regrets. Certain teams
must have regrets. When the Falcons are up twenty eight
(18:31):
to three in the Super Bowl. How about that Joe
Montana tattoo you have on your ass? Do you regret
that or no? I regret only that it's in his
road uniform. It's weird Rich as alf Rich has alf
and Joe Montana in his road uniform. It's really weird. Ye,
it's odd you didn't point out the fact that I
have a Gary Cotter on my belly. Yeah, that's why
(18:53):
all the at Cidy Crawford, you just named all the
posters on my childhood wall. No, we're gonna do little
Shack d Is trivia for a swiggy If you want in,
will pay play some NBA trivia next at eight seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox. Now for Centuries, the bond
between horse and human as forged, has been forged by
(19:14):
trust and hands on care. Now, the sport of thro
overd racing is combining those traditions with cutting edge technology
and meaningful reforms, raising a safety standards to the highest levels.
New investments in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes
and horses stride, and the use of advanced imaging technologies
help flag potential problems for early intervention by expert veterinarians,
(19:35):
reducing injury risk. Scientific experts test measure and analyze racing
surfaces to ensure consistency, and the sport's new independent regulator,
the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority, implements comprehensive reforms
including state of the are testing, monitoring, and strict enforcements,
along with new uniform safety standards and veterinary protocols and
other measures to ensure the safest environment possible for racing.
(19:58):

we play some shack Diesel Whack Diesel trivia. Dude, the
phones are all lit, so everyone wants to tell quick stories,
big time contracts. I mentioned Elsbury recently, you know, Yankees
to Elsbury Dude never played. You know, I'm thinking rich
choosing to root for the Mets at a very young
(22:08):
age to regret that. Did I ever tell you why?
The reason is my dad grew up a Yankees fan.
This is the worst decision my family's ever made. My
dad went to Fordham in the Bronx, which is a
college there, and he got his car stolen twice. So
my dad disowned everything Bronx. I'm done with the Yankees,
and I'm like, so, if you didn't get your car stolen,
(22:28):
I would have been able to watch five World Series.
They stole my car and you stole my baseball love.
You know what, guy, you know what? Music regret. I
always loved want Bono of U two, who's so righteous
and great in everything he does. When he wrote the
line so innot thank God, it's damn instead of you yes,
(22:53):
telling the world to thank god you're not a starving
Carson And honestly, they changed it, but the original stuck
and just made him seem insensitive. He always regretted that line.

but not for bad reasons?
Speaker 5 (26:53):
Aaron Aaron value effort. Aaron tried to buzz in both times,
which guys beat him?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
There? Maybe we give a a step here. He's just
got to be quicker on his buzzer, all right, because
we go to round three.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
Al Right, Guys who is the first pick of the
twenty nineteen NBA All Star Draft. Was it a Giannis
b Kevin Durant or c Kawhi Leonard first?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
NBA Rry goes yes, Lebron to Katie first. Steph Granted

Terry Stotts.
Speaker 1 (27:47):
Hey, Aaron, Aaron, Aaron just won a swiggy he deserves.
You're the big mass all right, way to relations, Yeah,
Terry Star.
Speaker 5 (28:00):
The whole Blazer staff wore bows eyes in a playoff
game for their assistant coach, who had been in a
serious car accident, so they were paying tribute to him.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
There you go, Hey, Aaron, congratulations.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Uh, I was gonna make a pee wee Herman joke,
but I'm glad I didn't.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I was gonna make an Alvin.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Hey, guys, I got things to do. Yeah, I gotta go. Aaron,
hang on the line. We'll get your info. Swiggy's coming
your way.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Sound good man, Look at that Aaron Solar guy. Solar
boy Shack enjoyed the finals. Uh, let's go to Isaac
for an update that. We'll take your phone calls about
work regrets. Isaac stinks in here, say smells.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Laws of physics aren't in your favor. Let's put it
that way fels from a former Laker to a future Laker.
The Athletic reporting a short time ago that the Lakers
are quote zeroing in unquote on JJ Reddick as the
front runner to be their next head coach. No final
decision has been made yet, and the Lakers still have
steps remaining in their head coaching search process, but the
(29:05):
indications are strong that Reddick is their leading choice at
this stage. Again, according to The Athletic, in the NFL
San Francisco forty nine Ers, running back Christian McCaffrey has
agreed to a two year, thirty eight million dollar contract
extension through twenty twenty seven. Today, Epei Mizuhara, the former
translator for Shohei Otani, officially pleaded guilty to bank and
(29:30):
tax fraud charges. Mitzuhara now faces up to thirty three
years in prison. He'll be sentenced in late October. Major
League Baseball also officially cleared Otani of any wrongdoing, and
Major League Baseball also today banned San Diego Padres in
Theater to Kapita Marcano for life for gambling. Marcano plays
(29:53):
two hundred and thirty one bets on Major League Baseball,
including bets on Pittsburgh Pirate its games while he was
still a member of the Pirates and add insult to injury.
Marcano lost ninety five point seven percent of the bets
he made.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Geez back to you guys like a Vegas fantasy, right there,
Come in, sir, come into our casino. By the way, Isaac,
did they set the over under on twenty years of
how long Epe will actually spend behind bars? Did they
set it over under on that?
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Ironically, he might have, Actually he might take a bet,
something wagered that himself.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So you got to sports and behavior, et cetera. Yeah,
I bet you show Hey regrets every dealing with that guy,
you know, so Pete Rose, throw him in the mix.
Sports regrets wrapping that up with your phone calls eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Thanks again, Isaac, Lowancron
and Rich. I'm sure you have some betting regrets where
you were gonna but you did. I regret at the
(30:53):
Super Bowls like all or nothing. I got towards the
end of the playoffs actually won a little bit and
I was like all my winnings on the forty nine.
So not only did my team lose, I lost, but
no real, you know what, I bet you there's some
people that you ever see those wild stories where someone
has some ridiculous parlay going where they've hit every part
(31:14):
of it except one and they can cash out or
go for the big money. I'm sure there's people that
are like them, go for it all, and it's like,
oh man, they could have cashed out. Uh, Joe and Virginia.
You're on seeing our sports regrets? What's up? Or work regrets?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Than love the show on?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Thanks man?
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
You know the worst parts about these workplace regrets They
stick in your head forever. And I used to as
a teenager work in a print shop on this concrete
floor bindary department. So you basically do anything that a
sixteen year old idiot would want to do is make
it entertaining, and so they had these pallette jack you
would bring paper everywhere. So we wanted to see the
(31:53):
electric one, how high up it would go. But we
did that with a palette of paper on it, and
we ended up dropping. I dropped that whole entire paper
all over our bindery department and for days and days
had to clean it up. Put the job about three
weeks behind. And the worst part is my dad owned
the company, so here I have all these other employees
(32:16):
just ragging on me and hating me for weeks on end.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
They couldn't even they couldn't even fire you into your
dad's company. I didn't understand a word he said there
was about paper. He didn't make a great point though
about those things picking with you, okay for the rest
of your There was a lot of like technical technical
jargeon in that. That's what I meant. But a lot
of those things do haunt you. And I know Kyrie
probably feels bad about flipping the bird and his time
in Boston, and that's what we're talking about. He says
(32:41):
he regrets it down Strawberry regrets leaving the METS. I
talked to a buddy recently. I used to work with,
and he told me a weird story. He has this
hang up about how he let one of our previous
bosses get in his face and yell at him. He's like, man,
I'll never let anyone treat me like that again. He
still thinks about it. He's like, if anyone would have
ever done that to him again, like he would have
(33:02):
gave him a piece of his mind. I doubt he
would have punched him in the nose, but he would
have never let anyone else speak to him that way.
And it still bothered him, like twenty years later that
he allowed someone to treat him that way workplace. Damn, dude.
Let it go and sports regrets. Marcus in Seattle. It's up, Marcus.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
Hey, hey, this is a school regret. I went to
Hayowa University in Chicago, and it's the end of my
freshman year. One of my professors said to me, Hey,
how would you like to be a foreign exchange student?
We have a university in Italy And I was like, no,
I'm moving to the West Coast during the summer. Dude,
I gave up a year living with an Italian family,
(33:41):
learning to speak Italian. Uh oh, and it's forty years now,
I still regret it.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Dude, you never know where your life could have gone. Right.
How come none of us took advantage of studying abroad.
I know you're paying all that tuition and they're like, yeah,
for a tiny little like four thousand bucks, you could
live in Italy for a few more.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Why would I want to do that?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I would live in Syracuse, New York. Could have found
a beautiful Italian body John in Texas? What's up? John?
Speaker 11 (34:10):
Yes? Hi, how are you?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
We're good? Now? What's up? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:14):
When I was going to college, I had a part
time driving a department.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
Store and there was this guy that would ride.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
His back to work and we still had to wear
a tie, and like what time he would ride his
bike Anyway. He worked there for like four years, and
then after that he was going to uh he was
going to quit to get a full time job, and
management decided to fill him a little good body.
Speaker 10 (34:39):
Party.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
So we wanted to give him a pranktice, and I
decided I told management that we could give him a
little a little wiener inside a jewelry gift bag, and
I put a bowl on the wiener and whatnot, and
we got together at the end of the shift, and
he started thinking if he started getting two re ees,
as he said, he had never like the family units.
(35:01):
He considered us.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Family's emotional and then he opens the prank gift.
Speaker 11 (35:06):
Yes, he got very emotional, you guys, the greatest gift.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, what was his reaction?
Speaker 11 (35:20):
He just got red as a tomato. We we all
felt bad. We all felt bad.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
You know, it's something that we don't take into thought
that much. How athletes must feel not performing when they
were expected to, you know, or maybe at the latter
stages of their career. They have to have regrets about that.
That performance in front of that city does a category
we ignored for good reason because you could talk about
(35:49):
it all day. But when you're talking about regrets and
sports combined, how about every single draft in any sport.
Oh yeah, Like you don't think how the people that
decided we're gonna go with, uh not Michael Jordan. Now
we're gonna not go with this star player?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Oh come on, Also quickly, how about coaches. That's a
big category of regret. Al Davis trading John Gruden too
the Bucks to then beat him in the next Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, you know what, we'll take the rest of your feedback.

Right?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
The New York Football giants, It's just one photo, Yeah,
that haunted them. Right, That's an example of what not
to do before a big playoff game. Talking and wrapping
up the workplace regrets. And obviously there's a lot of
sports ones. It could just be a bad decision that
was made, bad pitching decision, bad coaching decision, a move
(38:11):
to another team. Lots of workplace regrets in sports. Based
on Kyrie and Darryl Strawberry this week. Oh, speaking of,
there's another viral story Kramer Cosmic Kramer, Michael Richards, He's
all over the news this week because he's on the
View and on a Today's show, and he's making his
rounds apologizing for his workplace regret in the world of
(38:32):
comedy from two thousand and six, some of his outburst.
I believe he released a memoir. Well, he's promoting it,
but now he's saying like he had to live with
that for the past eighteen years. So the less eighteen
years he's Kramer has had to explain why he stupidly
went off and had like an N word rant. Yeah,
deeply regrets it so to this day, to this day,
(38:54):
and that's in the news as of today. But let's
wrap it up with your phone calls eight seven seven
nine on Fox Andrew and Lake Tahoe. What's up, man, Hey,
So this is.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
A it's not a workplace regret. Sorry, it's a concert regret.
So I was living in New Orleans in the early
nineties and I had tickets to a House of Pain
concert Pippotinas. It's a pretty small venue. The lead singer
gets arrested and the ticketmaster was offering refunds, but you
could go see the opening band. I got the refund,
A bunch of my friends went. It was rage against
(39:27):
the machine.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Man, you blew House of pain.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Rage is opening for House of pain. Damn you. He
was too worried about jumping around and he said, thank
you Andrew James of Virginia, rappit and we'll move on
and get out of here. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 12 (39:45):
Oh thank you for taking my calls. Gentlemen. Happy Tuesday,
you too. Man, Man, my biggest regret comes from the
world of sports Man. Twenty seventeen NBA Finals Game three.
I wake up that Wednesday morning and I can buy
a ticket to the game and a play ticket for
a g total and I back out. Man, I don't
do it because I had to go alone. And that's
(40:06):
the game that KD hit the three at the end.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
The only good thing that came from it is I
booked a trip.
Speaker 12 (40:11):
To Cali the next day because I was soda shot man.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
And my call, guys, you so many thoughts of leaving
the game early, or you should have went to that
game where you had the tickets. Great calls. Appreciate all
the interaction, guys. I'm going said this is this conversation
started with Daryl and Kyrie. Everybody has their regrets. No,
but then I realized that the whole world of sports
is based on regrets, pitching, changes, playbook. You don't think,
(40:37):
all right, the te Wolves were in every one of
those games. You don't think the coaching staff is like yo,
in the last two minutes, if we would have, you know,
run a couple of different plays, the outcome. The whole
world of sports is based on regrets and decisions, turnovers,
clock management. Man, it's it's everything. That's the world of
(40:58):
sports in a nutshell, right, super Bowls that have been
decided like, uh, you don't think the Seattle Seahawks have
some regrets? Oh my god, every day every day on
the fiftieth anniversary of the team getting the thumbs up
fifty years ago today, the NFL said, Seattle, you got
a franchise. So fifty years ago today, the Seahawks, if
(41:20):
you talk about regrets, could have won two in a
row man and beat Brady. Yep, that's some big time
regret for sure. You know, avenge with that, that's the
top three of all time, has to be right, Well,
you could add to the list and that at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio workplace regrets sports regrets, Yeah,
regrets whatever. Let me bring up a Cavino theory of yours, sure,
(41:41):
because I agree we talk about all these could a
shit a wood of things in sports and regrets. When
you watch old games, is it like a weird part
of you that thinks, like, oh, what if it's different
this time? In an alternate universe? Buccaneer catches the ground ball, right,
You're like, oh, he's gonna get at this alternate universe.
David I read doesn't catch the ball and Tom Brady
(42:02):
goes nineteen to oh right, you Darvish doesn't choke for
the Dodgers. I know, yo in an in an alternate universe,
because there's a part of you when you watch the
highlights you do in an alternate universe. The forty nine
Ers stopped the Chiefs on fourth and one in overtime,
and I'm you know, and I'm cheering, and the Niners
win the Super Bowl land until we find that alternate universe.
(42:22):
These are the regrets that fans and players have to
live with alternate universe. Speaking of which weekday, Hob nobbyin

I don't blame you. They're forty two and nineteen and
on their way to win over one hundred games. And
I told you before the season. I told everyone, and
(01:56):
it wasn't like a told you so moment. It's pretty obvious.
I said, if Soda, Aaron Judge, and John Carlos stay healthy, like,
I'd be shocked if they don't win one hundred games,
because that's a meat of a lineup. And by the way,
you know that's really eat reaping the benefits aside from
the fans, Volpi having that protection line up everyone else
in that lie. I think I'm gonna be on Bursch,
(02:16):
Monsey and Bo's podcast because they're big Dodgers fans and
Yankees take on the Dodgers this weekend. I'm ready to
talk about Verdugo Vato speaking of Vatos locals forever, because look,
they are trying to pitch around these big sluggers, then
they have to pitch to Verdugo and he's just slain
and every time with big hits. Mande. I thought they
(02:36):
were trying to build momentum on that podcast to talk
about the Yankees. Yeah, rating with Cavino talking about Volpi
again number one Yankees fans. So anyway, enjoy your baseball,
enjoy your Godzilla, you're clipped on Hulu whatever you're watching,
and thank you for or hopefully you're enjoying our show.
I was saying, easy for you to enjoy baseball. But
(02:58):
you know what, there's like a set sad hope for
most National League teams because, as I pointed out the
other day, if you look at the wildcard race in
the NL, it is so lopsided that the American League
is dominant. There's a few power teams in the NL
a LA, the Phillies, the Dodgers, the Braves, where everyone
(03:19):
else below that is so mediocre that a team like
the Mets ten games under five hundred, could we know
ten games they're twenty five and thirty five, are four
games out of the wildcard, So it gives you some
stupid hope, like, well, if we bang out eight of
the next ten, or you know, if you win twelve
with the next fifteen, it gives you some stupid hope.
(03:41):
Where we remember we talked about how football teams sometimes
it's bad to be mediocre because you're not forced to revamp. Yeah,
you're just coasting by. If you are the Arizona Diamondbacks
and you're twenty eight and thirty two, four games under
five hundred and your one game out of the wildcard,
(04:03):
it gives your organization no real urgency to make some
moves or do something to get serious about it. Yeah,
he speaking of your Mets as of right now for
the first time in Major League Baseball history, because I
follow this call, so you know me with this annoying
standing stuff. The third Wildcards under five hundred, it's pathetic.
The worst wildcard from my memory might have been like
(04:26):
an eighty four win team, like you look at like
eighty four and seventy eight or something. But right now
the Cubbies would make the postseason at twenty nine to
thirty one. So there is hope for your poor ass
National League team that stinks right now. Win nine out
of ten and you're a wildcard team. Go on a streak.
It's not impossible, not at all. But for your Mets,
(04:49):
I'd say they're done. And like I said, speaking of
the Mets, Darryl Strawberry had a big moment this past weekend. Yeah,
sort of went under the radar, but it was in
my algorithm, it was in my reality. He got his
number retired at City Field, and it was sort of odd.
(05:10):
I thought he said the coolest thing that he could
say to the fans. You know, it's like it's like, uh,
you know, you wish every ex girlfriend hit you up
and like you were the best I ever had. I'm
so sorry. Yeah, I still hope that for that phone call,
that admission one day, Isaac, get that phone call all
the time from the whole flames. Sure like women women
like Isaac. I can't believe I blew with you. You
(05:31):
were the best I ever had. Pretty much, yeah, all
the time Darryl Strawberry pulled an Isaac X's girlfriend, he did.
He apologized to the fans of New York of the Mets,
saying that he should have never left. Take a lesson,
and I mean it's from the bottom of my heart.
I'm so sorry for ever leaving your guys.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
I'm truly did sorry that I ever left card I've
never played baseball greater.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Than your guys. It's pretty awesome. That's what the fans
needed to hear. He was a legend, period, but a
legend with the Mets for sure. And that goes back
to our previous conversation about Kyrie and his regrets with
(06:26):
the Celtics. He was in a different place back then.
He's addressed it. He was going through a death in
the family. He wasn't the guy he is now, Let's
put it that way. And you could see that, you
could visibly see that he's in a different place now
and he regrets flipping the bird to the Celtics and
to the fans. In twenty twenty two, after a tough
(06:48):
run in Boston. Now he's competing against him this week.
So based on Darryl admitting that he's sorry that he
was wrong for leaving New York, based on Kyrie for
admitting that he was wrong for the way he played
and conducted himself to the fans of Boston that he's
excited to compete against him. Now, we ask you, are
there other stories in sports, of course, where you know
(07:11):
they must regret it. We always bring Robbie Cano into
the conversation because he chased the money. Dude. He was
set up to be the face of the Yankees. He
was he had everything, the stats, the swing, the style,
the fans. Dominican guy in New York. They love their
Dominican players. Look at Soto now, he had the money
in New York. He had everything right, and he went
(07:33):
to Seattle. Was never the same. He ended up playing
for the SpongeBob SquarePants in the minor leagues, so he
ended up playing for your Mets. Those regrets professionally, personally,
let's hear them. I got one professionally. Hold. I gotta
ask Danny, though, when Daryl did come to the Dodgers
as a little boy, do you remember the excitement or
oh yeah, well he still had that sweet swing. I
(07:55):
saw a list of the top ten lefty swings of
all time, and you would imagine Griffy was number one,
Darrel at number two. You know who had like a
poor man's Darryl sort of swing. Darryl Boston, you guys,
was a white soccer met because he played in New York.
And I remember thinking he swings like Daryl. I just
don't hate like.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
Daryl, really, but he's sound like Yes, little kids, we
all tried to mimic the Darryl Strawberry batting stance. Yeah,
Rich when he came to the Dodgers, we were so
excited we thought he was going to hit fifty home runs.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Yeah, I remember if he was that good. I remember
that being a sad time as a Mets fan when
you lost Daryl to the Dodgers. But as far as regrets,
I have one quick story I'll share and then I
have a personal one. But think of some others. Yeah,
if there are sports stories where you remember the athlete
came back and said, you know, I wish I hadn't
have done that, or I'm sad I did that. I
(08:48):
was interning when I was nineteen years old, twenty years old,
young kid. And the night before my last day, we
all went out, like a lot of the you know
people radio station went out. Let's just add one to
one too many cocktails. I woke up feeling rough, not
a good morning that morning, where like your head feels
(09:10):
like someone is stomping on it, put your head in
a vice. So I skipped my last day of my
internship to find out like the boss has bought me
a cake and everything like a farawell, like what you've
been our best intern? Like great job and where this
is WPLJ in New York City. They don't exist anymore so,
(09:34):
but I regret it. I remember being like, oh, I
feel like such an ass. What am I doing? I
skipped the last day to find out they were gonna
surprise me with a cake. Yeah, that's a workplace, regret.
That's where we're getting that mind simple and it involves
sports kind of sort of. The reason Rich and I
love working here at Fox Sports Radio is because, well,
(09:55):
they hired us, because they trusted us. They knew what
we were capable, beloved, they knew what we did. What
we do here on Fox Sports Radio is what we've
always done right, and Fox Sports Radio hired us to
do that, and they let us do what we do
at our previous job. Although it was awesome at ESPN,
(10:18):
awesome meaning grew up watching ESPN, grew up watching Sports Center.
Finally get your shot at it. I wish I would
have leaned into being me a lot more as opposed
to playing it safe, you know what I mean. I
remember hearing the I played by their rules because I
(10:39):
felt I had to, when I should have just been more.
I'm not saying I was fake. I remember I played
it safe. I remember the phrase the ESPN way, and
I'm like, right, what does that mean? Right? Like, I didn't, Man,
this is my shot on TV, this is my shot
on ESPN, and I didn't want to blow it because
(11:00):
you know, it was a great opportunity, so I didn't
want to cross any lines. So I played it safe
when I should have really leaned into what we were
really about instead of letting other people tell us what
to do. That's a big regret of mine, even though
I did my best and we have that opportunity and
I'm proud of it. When I do look back, I
have a little bit of regret that, man, I let
(11:20):
these other guys tell me what to do instead of
doing what my instincts told me what to do. A
lot of people have a regret where they left a
job that was great for a little more money somewhere
else and they realized, ooh, that little more money was
not worth this sucking new place.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
It happens vice versa too, where sometimes people are too
safe and they're like, I'm gonna stay here, I never
want to leave, and they realized who did leave went
on to do big things.
Speaker 5 (11:49):
It's funny you say that, because I had the opposite experience.
In the year two thousand, I got a job offer
to program a hip hop radio station in Honolulu, and
I did not take it. It was a little bit
more money, obviously the cost of living there is really high.
But when I came back from the job interview, my
current general manager at the station I was at said
(12:11):
I'll match their offer, so he matched it. But looking back,
if I could do it over again, I think I
probably would go to Honolulu and back then. With the
money they wanted to pay, I mean they were talking
like one hundred and twenty thousand a year, I could
have bought property there.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
Man, I can picture you in a hula skirt.
Speaker 4 (12:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
So that's one thing I think of from time to time, Like, man,
what if I took that Hawaii job.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Rich did a radio on Hawaii. They called him the
Big Buffuna. Yeah, the Big Buffua. So I got a
few sports once too as a fight fan. You don't
think Roberto Duran regretted no Moss for the rest of
his life. That dude's been talking about no mos for
forty years. He's considered one of the Kings of the ring, right,
(12:57):
the four Kings. Hagler, Hearn's Leonard Durant, and he's still
talking about no Moss and he swears he never said it,
and people are like, you quit against Sugarrette Leonard. He's
like he's he said in Spanish, no seaguing. That's what
he says, that he's not carrying on because he couldn't
deal with Leonard's antics. But again, I'm sure he regrets
(13:17):
that till this day. Mike Tyson, who he talked to
every too, every other Tuesday here on the show, you
don't think he regrets biting the ear of that wonderful man,
as he says, the beautiful man Evander Holyfield. Of course,
he does looking back, so many regrets charging. He regrets it.
(13:39):
In fact, Madion, we learned about that in the Nolan
Ryan documentary, that he only charged because his teammates like
forced him to. Like, if he hit someone, you got
a charge. You think, Nolan Ryan, you think he wanted
to fight, Probably a guy he looked up to and admired.
No way, and then again that's stuck with him all
(14:00):
those years. People don't remember. I mean they do, but
they don't how great Rob Menturo was. He always remembered
as stupid highlight and it was something he chose to do.
That's the difference. Right, So workplace regrets, we all have him,
everybody has him, could have done things differently. Kyrie, He's
(14:20):
no different. Kyrie said, I regret giving the fans in
Boston the middle finger. It was a rough time in
my life. Darryl Strawberry again this week said I regret
leaving you fans in New York. I should never have
left the Mets. I think Boston they'll they'll give him
some flack for sure, but I think deep down they
respect the honesty there. Okay, we all can no, I mean,
(14:41):
don't you. I sort of hate it on Kyrie back then, like,
what's his deal? Could I give you the biggest sports
regret in Boston? Sure? I mean maybe others getting rid
of Ruth maybe better, you know, other than Babe Ruth.
Yeah what the Red Sox? Yeah, nineteen eighty six. I
know the year well, because it's the only baseball thrill
as a Mets I have Game six Boston Red Sox
(15:05):
manager John McNamara every other game in the regular season.
This is a true story, every other game. If it
was close and late, he would replace Buckner with Dave Stapleton.
And Dave Stapleton was a great defensive first baseman. But
because the Red Sox had a significant lead, you remember
the Mets had to score three runs in that inning
(15:26):
to win that crazy Game six, they said, ah, he's
earned it. Keep Buckner out there. You don't think John
McNamara has lost sleep over going against what he did
all year. And instead of saying McNamara, hey, Stapleton, get
in there, he's like, oh, Buckner, you could be out
there for the bottom of the ninth. I'd regret leaving
(15:48):
Bob Stanley in there. Didn't he throw it pitches? Bob
Stanley stunk.
Speaker 5 (15:54):
And then more recently, how about watching Betts tear it
up at Dodger Stadium.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Oh yeah, getting rid of Bets there. You know, when
you think of it that way too, there's a lot
of teams from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Kansas
City Royals that just let so many superstars, you know,
slip through their fingers, and they moved on from them
because they couldn't afford it. They had to have a
lot of regrets getting ridis I. I got another one
that was very West coast, a very West coast World
(16:21):
Series over twenty years ago. The Yeah, it was two
thousand and two when the Anaheim Angels of Mighty Southern
California Anaheumtull of Fullerton, when the California Angels and the
Giants played in the World Series. That was the Rally
Monkey year on Scott's Spiezio days when Dusty Baker pulled,
(16:43):
you know, he made some pitching changes right and so
confidently thought they were gonna win the world that when
you had the Scott' Spezio soul patch and he died
of orange. It's a very special time I remember that.
But which was all about it? There were some definite
you don't think Dusty Baker regrets on some of the
decisions made in that World Series. For sure. Live it,
you live with it, you deal with it, you grow
(17:04):
from it. And that's what we're seeing with Kyrie too.
I think it's it's a really great opportunity for him
to compete with the utmost respect to those fans that
he feels he did wrong, and in a way he did.
They wanted to love him and get excited about him,
but it didn't work out. Now he's playing against them,
so I regress. I wanted to get the exact moment
(17:26):
Dusty Baker handed the ball to the pitcher, leaving the
game as a souvenir for when they win the World Series.
And that's when the Angels came back and won the
won the series. But yeah, Dusty Baker or Teez handed
his manager of the ball. Baker called them back and
(17:48):
gave them the ball like, y'all take this. This will
be your souvenir because we won the World Series. Not
so fast, Dusty Baker. Wow, twenty two years ago, and
I knew there was a more in depth story that
was a sports regrets, workplace regrets. You know, we all
have life regrets eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
(18:08):
if you want to add to them otherwise at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio to share. I might
have one more. I'll keep you waiting for it, but
I do want to get you ready for Shack Diesel
Whack Diesel trivia. Oh. I don't want to get into
specific games, but I'm thinking of like regrets. Certain teams
must have regrets. When the Falcons are up twenty eight
(18:31):
to three in the Super Bowl. How about that Joe
Montana tattoo you have on your ass? Do you regret
that or no? I regret only that it's in his
road uniform. It's weird Rich as alf Rich has alf
and Joe Montana in his road uniform. It's really weird. Ye,
it's odd you didn't point out the fact that I
have a Gary Cotter on my belly. Yeah, that's why
(18:53):
all the at Cidy Crawford, you just named all the
posters on my childhood wall. No, we're gonna do little
Shack d Is trivia for a swiggy If you want in,
will pay play some NBA trivia next at eight seven, seven,
nine to nine on Fox. Now for Centuries, the bond
between horse and human as forged, has been forged by
(19:14):
trust and hands on care. Now, the sport of thro
overd racing is combining those traditions with cutting edge technology
and meaningful reforms, raising a safety standards to the highest levels.
New investments in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes
and horses stride, and the use of advanced imaging technologies
help flag potential problems for early intervention by expert veterinarians,
(19:35):
reducing injury risk. Scientific experts test measure and analyze racing
surfaces to ensure consistency, and the sport's new independent regulator,
the Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority, implements comprehensive reforms
including state of the are testing, monitoring, and strict enforcements,
along with new uniform safety standards and veterinary protocols and
other measures to ensure the safest environment possible for racing.

we play some shack Diesel Whack Diesel trivia. Dude, the
phones are all lit, so everyone wants to tell quick stories,
big time contracts. I mentioned Elsbury recently, you know, Yankees
to Elsbury Dude never played. You know, I'm thinking rich
choosing to root for the Mets at a very young
(22:08):
age to regret that. Did I ever tell you why?
The reason is my dad grew up a Yankees fan.
This is the worst decision my family's ever made. My
dad went to Fordham in the Bronx, which is a
college there, and he got his car stolen twice. So
my dad disowned everything Bronx. I'm done with the Yankees,
and I'm like, so, if you didn't get your car stolen,
(22:28):
I would have been able to watch five World Series.
They stole my car and you stole my baseball love.
You know what, guy, you know what? Music regret. I
always loved want Bono of U two, who's so righteous
and great in everything he does. When he wrote the
line so innot thank God, it's damn instead of you yes,
(22:53):
telling the world to thank god you're not a starving
Carson And honestly, they changed it, but the original stuck
and just made him seem insensitive. He always regretted that line.

Sound good man, Look at that Aaron Solar guy. Solar
boy Shack enjoyed the finals. Uh, let's go to Isaac
for an update that. We'll take your phone calls about
work regrets. Isaac stinks in here, say smells.
Speaker 8 (28:44):
Laws of physics aren't in your favor. Let's put it
that way fels from a former Laker to a future Laker.
The Athletic reporting a short time ago that the Lakers
are quote zeroing in unquote on JJ Reddick as the
front runner to be their next head coach. No final
decision has been made yet, and the Lakers still have
steps remaining in their head coaching search process, but the
(29:05):
indications are strong that Reddick is their leading choice at
this stage. Again, according to The Athletic, in the NFL
San Francisco forty nine Ers, running back Christian McCaffrey has
agreed to a two year, thirty eight million dollar contract
extension through twenty twenty seven. Today, Epei Mizuhara, the former
translator for Shohei Otani, officially pleaded guilty to bank and
(29:30):
tax fraud charges. Mitzuhara now faces up to thirty three
years in prison. He'll be sentenced in late October. Major
League Baseball also officially cleared Otani of any wrongdoing, and
Major League Baseball also today banned San Diego Padres in
Theater to Kapita Marcano for life for gambling. Marcano plays
(29:53):
two hundred and thirty one bets on Major League Baseball,
including bets on Pittsburgh Pirate its games while he was
still a member of the Pirates and add insult to injury.
Marcano lost ninety five point seven percent of the bets
he made.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
Geez back to you guys like a Vegas fantasy, right there,
Come in, sir, come into our casino. By the way, Isaac,
did they set the over under on twenty years of
how long Epe will actually spend behind bars? Did they
set it over under on that?
Speaker 8 (30:26):
Ironically, he might have, Actually he might take a bet,
something wagered that himself.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
So you got to sports and behavior, et cetera. Yeah,
I bet you show Hey regrets every dealing with that guy,
you know, so Pete Rose, throw him in the mix.
Sports regrets wrapping that up with your phone calls eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Thanks again, Isaac, Lowancron
and Rich. I'm sure you have some betting regrets where
you were gonna but you did. I regret at the
(30:53):
Super Bowls like all or nothing. I got towards the
end of the playoffs actually won a little bit and
I was like all my winnings on the forty nine.
So not only did my team lose, I lost, but
no real, you know what, I bet you there's some
people that you ever see those wild stories where someone
has some ridiculous parlay going where they've hit every part
(31:14):
of it except one and they can cash out or
go for the big money. I'm sure there's people that
are like them, go for it all, and it's like,
oh man, they could have cashed out. Uh, Joe and Virginia.
You're on seeing our sports regrets? What's up? Or work regrets?
Speaker 6 (31:29):
Than love the show on?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Thanks man?
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, I got it.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
You know the worst parts about these workplace regrets They
stick in your head forever. And I used to as
a teenager work in a print shop on this concrete
floor bindary department. So you basically do anything that a
sixteen year old idiot would want to do is make
it entertaining, and so they had these pallette jack you
would bring paper everywhere. So we wanted to see the
(31:53):
electric one, how high up it would go. But we
did that with a palette of paper on it, and
we ended up dropping. I dropped that whole entire paper
all over our bindery department and for days and days
had to clean it up. Put the job about three
weeks behind. And the worst part is my dad owned
the company, so here I have all these other employees
(32:16):
just ragging on me and hating me for weeks on end.
Speaker 1 (32:20):
They couldn't even they couldn't even fire you into your
dad's company. I didn't understand a word he said there
was about paper. He didn't make a great point though
about those things picking with you, okay for the rest
of your There was a lot of like technical technical
jargeon in that. That's what I meant. But a lot
of those things do haunt you. And I know Kyrie
probably feels bad about flipping the bird and his time
in Boston, and that's what we're talking about. He says
(32:41):
he regrets it down Strawberry regrets leaving the METS. I
talked to a buddy recently. I used to work with,
and he told me a weird story. He has this
hang up about how he let one of our previous
bosses get in his face and yell at him. He's like, man,
I'll never let anyone treat me like that again. He
still thinks about it. He's like, if anyone would have
ever done that to him again, like he would have
(33:02):
gave him a piece of his mind. I doubt he
would have punched him in the nose, but he would
have never let anyone else speak to him that way.
And it still bothered him, like twenty years later that
he allowed someone to treat him that way workplace. Damn, dude.
Let it go and sports regrets. Marcus in Seattle. It's up, Marcus.
Speaker 9 (33:20):
Hey, hey, this is a school regret. I went to
Hayowa University in Chicago, and it's the end of my
freshman year. One of my professors said to me, Hey,
how would you like to be a foreign exchange student?
We have a university in Italy And I was like, no,
I'm moving to the West Coast during the summer. Dude,
I gave up a year living with an Italian family,
(33:41):
learning to speak Italian. Uh oh, and it's forty years now,
I still regret it.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Dude, you never know where your life could have gone. Right.
How come none of us took advantage of studying abroad.
I know you're paying all that tuition and they're like, yeah,
for a tiny little like four thousand bucks, you could
live in Italy for a few more.
Speaker 3 (34:00):
Why would I want to do that?
Speaker 1 (34:01):
I would live in Syracuse, New York. Could have found
a beautiful Italian body John in Texas? What's up? John?
Speaker 11 (34:10):
Yes? Hi, how are you?
Speaker 1 (34:11):
We're good? Now? What's up? Yeah?
Speaker 11 (34:14):
When I was going to college, I had a part
time driving a department.
Speaker 10 (34:18):
Store and there was this guy that would ride.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
His back to work and we still had to wear
a tie, and like what time he would ride his
bike Anyway. He worked there for like four years, and
then after that he was going to uh he was
going to quit to get a full time job, and
management decided to fill him a little good body.
Speaker 10 (34:39):
Party.
Speaker 11 (34:40):
So we wanted to give him a pranktice, and I
decided I told management that we could give him a
little a little wiener inside a jewelry gift bag, and
I put a bowl on the wiener and whatnot, and
we got together at the end of the shift, and
he started thinking if he started getting two re ees,
as he said, he had never like the family units.
(35:01):
He considered us.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Family's emotional and then he opens the prank gift.
Speaker 11 (35:06):
Yes, he got very emotional, you guys, the greatest gift.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Yeah, what was his reaction?
Speaker 11 (35:20):
He just got red as a tomato. We we all
felt bad. We all felt bad.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
You know, it's something that we don't take into thought
that much. How athletes must feel not performing when they
were expected to, you know, or maybe at the latter
stages of their career. They have to have regrets about that.
That performance in front of that city does a category
we ignored for good reason because you could talk about
(35:49):
it all day. But when you're talking about regrets and
sports combined, how about every single draft in any sport.
Oh yeah, Like you don't think how the people that
decided we're gonna go with, uh not Michael Jordan. Now
we're gonna not go with this star player?
Speaker 5 (36:03):
Oh come on, Also quickly, how about coaches. That's a
big category of regret. Al Davis trading John Gruden too
the Bucks to then beat him in the next Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
Yeah, you know what, we'll take the rest of your feedback.

To wrap up sports regrets? How about the giants taking
the picture on the boat?
Speaker 4 (37:49):
Right?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
The New York Football giants, It's just one photo, Yeah,
that haunted them. Right, That's an example of what not
to do before a big playoff game. Talking and wrapping
up the workplace regrets. And obviously there's a lot of
sports ones. It could just be a bad decision that
was made, bad pitching decision, bad coaching decision, a move
(38:11):
to another team. Lots of workplace regrets in sports. Based
on Kyrie and Darryl Strawberry this week. Oh, speaking of,
there's another viral story Kramer Cosmic Kramer, Michael Richards, He's
all over the news this week because he's on the
View and on a Today's show, and he's making his
rounds apologizing for his workplace regret in the world of
(38:32):
comedy from two thousand and six, some of his outburst.
I believe he released a memoir. Well, he's promoting it,
but now he's saying like he had to live with
that for the past eighteen years. So the less eighteen
years he's Kramer has had to explain why he stupidly
went off and had like an N word rant. Yeah,
deeply regrets it so to this day, to this day,
(38:54):
and that's in the news as of today. But let's
wrap it up with your phone calls eight seven seven
nine on Fox Andrew and Lake Tahoe. What's up, man, Hey,
So this is.
Speaker 2 (39:06):
A it's not a workplace regret. Sorry, it's a concert regret.
So I was living in New Orleans in the early
nineties and I had tickets to a House of Pain
concert Pippotinas. It's a pretty small venue. The lead singer
gets arrested and the ticketmaster was offering refunds, but you
could go see the opening band. I got the refund,
A bunch of my friends went. It was rage against
(39:27):
the machine.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
Man, you blew House of pain.
Speaker 1 (39:33):
Rage is opening for House of pain. Damn you. He
was too worried about jumping around and he said, thank
you Andrew James of Virginia, rappit and we'll move on
and get out of here. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 12 (39:45):
Oh thank you for taking my calls. Gentlemen. Happy Tuesday,
you too. Man, Man, my biggest regret comes from the
world of sports Man. Twenty seventeen NBA Finals Game three.
I wake up that Wednesday morning and I can buy
a ticket to the game and a play ticket for
a g total and I back out. Man, I don't
do it because I had to go alone. And that's
(40:06):
the game that KD hit the three at the end.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
The only good thing that came from it is I
booked a trip.
Speaker 12 (40:11):
To Cali the next day because I was soda shot man.
Speaker 1 (40:13):
And my call, guys, you so many thoughts of leaving
the game early, or you should have went to that
game where you had the tickets. Great calls. Appreciate all
the interaction, guys. I'm going said this is this conversation
started with Daryl and Kyrie. Everybody has their regrets. No,
but then I realized that the whole world of sports
is based on regrets, pitching, changes, playbook. You don't think,
(40:37):
all right, the te Wolves were in every one of
those games. You don't think the coaching staff is like yo,
in the last two minutes, if we would have, you know,
run a couple of different plays, the outcome. The whole
world of sports is based on regrets and decisions, turnovers,
clock management. Man, it's it's everything. That's the world of
(40:58):
sports in a nutshell, right, super Bowls that have been
decided like, uh, you don't think the Seattle Seahawks have
some regrets? Oh my god, every day every day on
the fiftieth anniversary of the team getting the thumbs up
fifty years ago today, the NFL said, Seattle, you got
a franchise. So fifty years ago today, the Seahawks, if
(41:20):
you talk about regrets, could have won two in a
row man and beat Brady. Yep, that's some big time
regret for sure. You know, avenge with that, that's the
top three of all time, has to be right, Well,
you could add to the list and that at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio workplace regrets sports regrets, Yeah,
regrets whatever. Let me bring up a Cavino theory of yours, sure,
(41:41):
because I agree we talk about all these could a
shit a wood of things in sports and regrets. When
you watch old games, is it like a weird part
of you that thinks, like, oh, what if it's different
this time? In an alternate universe? Buccaneer catches the ground ball, right,
You're like, oh, he's gonna get at this alternate universe.
David I read doesn't catch the ball and Tom Brady
(42:02):
goes nineteen to oh right, you Darvish doesn't choke for
the Dodgers. I know, yo in an in an alternate universe,
because there's a part of you when you watch the
highlights you do in an alternate universe. The forty nine
Ers stopped the Chiefs on fourth and one in overtime,
and I'm you know, and I'm cheering, and the Niners
win the Super Bowl land until we find that alternate universe.
(42:22):
These are the regrets that fans and players have to
live with alternate universe. Speaking of which weekday, Hob nobbyin
