C&R have fun looking back on the weekend at Zachari Dunes with the crew for Koa's 1st birthday! What caused the laughter at the party which made the show think of bad actually being better than good? The guys compare it to the Pole Vault Junk Man, Pete Rose & Jim Joyce's blown call getting new life. Would the college students trying to fix Jim Joyce's blown perfect game call open up a can of worms?

a nice weekend not only watching sports and fine and Olympics.
(02:01):
We got together as a Fox Sports Radio family. But Manci,
you weren't invited. You weren't there.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
She was invited. I just think she wasn't there. I'm
just kidding.

much for a buyer that I thought it was fitting.

She's part of our show, of.
Speaker 5 (02:16):

Speaker 1 (02:19):
I know.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
So I'm not lucky like you guys that work Monday
through Friday with the set job and on the weekends.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I don't know how that happened to, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So we all got together for Danny G's sons first
birthday and it was a wonderful time. It was really
relaxing by the beach, beach front, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What is it called what dunes, Danny G.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's Zachary Dune's.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Zachary Dune's over by Oxnard.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
To tie that into sports, you hear about Oxnard because
a lot of fighters come from Oxnard, a lot of boxers,
a lot of training goes on in Oxnard, California. But
that beach area, that beach scene was so nice to
have a drink and just chaill and hang out and
celebrate Danny G's little baby.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Didn't he get moved at the trade deadline. Zachary Dunes, Zachary.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
A middle reliever on the Zachary Dunes is my alias
to check into a Yeah, but I know nothing about
Zachary Dunes.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
We pull up and man it was like, this is perfect,
what a nice day. You know, it really was a
great day. I had so many observations just watching the
people that we work with in social settings, like Big
Mike who runs his place. Who Mike, he's wearing sandals
this weekend comes there, I'm sorry, panther slides. He has
(03:35):
his like hat and sunglasses, like but like like a
little fedora Like he's like summer mic.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, summer mic.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Then I was Sam, I did I posted on our
Instagram story, I wish Sam eating a fruit roll up?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Like, what is this guy's an animal?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I mean he comes to party. There's no question he's
a maniac clicken. He everyone has their summer look going on.
I appreciate that. I a wowas Sam had a nice
bright yellow button down with a goop aline the paper
boy had. Yeah, he was rocking the goup aline real strong.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
At the end of the party, he opened up his
backpack and he brought his pet skunk with him.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Apparently that I didn't know about that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, that seems like I missed out on all the
fund he didn't meet my pet skunk. But but honestly,
it's still on our Instagram story for another couple of hours,
I would say, I'm eating a fruit roll up. Is
something that I don't look at it? Oh please don't.
Now you gotta look at Covino and Rich. But we
bring up Danny's party not only to say happy birthday
to your son. Today's he's official birthday, right one years old.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
One year ago today. He was born in Woodland Hills, California.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
We'll get that. So happy birthday, baby CoA.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And at the birthday party, I got to what you said,
We got to all hang out.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It was fun. Observation number one, there might be a
new beach game in town.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I don't know if, if if you should even preface
it that week. I think he's been around for a minute.
I haven't played, so for people that are were like,
what is this talking about? There's a new beach game.
You know what if you've never seen it, I guess
it's new to you, right. Have you played ladder ball?
It's also known as ladder toss because I looked it
up too describing it somebody, Uh, ladder ball is a
lot of fun. Danny G's Stepsun's challenged me the moment
(05:15):
I arrived. I hadn't even gotten a drink, yet We're like,
you're next. I'm like, I don't even know. I was
so intimidated because I'm like, I don't know how to
play this.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I lie to them and I said, I'm more of
a spike ball kind of guy, and they're like, oh,
we're good at that too, and I'm like, you know what,
I dding, I was just kidding. I don't play any
of these games, but I'm glad I did because Ladderball
ladder Toss was kind of like a cornhole vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I liked it a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, it's it's two balls attached by a string and
can you toss it?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And it's got to wrap around like a pole.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's one of those typical beach games, but always fun
to have one of those things on standby. But my
biggest observation from Danny G's kids birthday party ties into
something that we're gonna bring into the sports world because
there's two stories in the world of sports and it
has the same backstore is what happened at Danny's party.
It's turning dilemmas into dilemonade. The silver lining of is
(06:07):
bad better? Sometimes? Could bad be?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Better.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All these stories sort of intertwine will explain. I'm starts
with Danny G. I'm a believer that people that don't
think so are wrong. I think bad could sometimes be better.
It's a matter of perspective. It's just a matter of
switching your perspective on it, how you look at things.
As time goes on, you can see it from a
(06:32):
different place and appreciate things differently. So where Danny's gathering,
and after we sing happy birthday for his one year
old son, CoA, there's another birthday and a cake to
go along with it, because danny stepson is traveling, he's
going away to college.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And there was another cake.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
And this is a big sheet cake, like like like
one of those huge ass sheet cake.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Here, big old marble sheet cake.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And your your wife, Danny G starts saying some like
beautiful words because he's going he's going away to college.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So she's saying a little speech to her older son,
right too.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Right, yeah, yeah, we were doing his birthday a week
early because he's about to go on a road trip
to Oklahoma.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
He's going to be a sooner.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Dude, And your beautiful wife is like, he could accomplish anything,
he's such a smart young man. I'm so proudy you.
And everyone's probably getting alteria, like, oh, Brendon's.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Beautiful, my baby's going to college.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And as she's given this cute, little like sentimental speech
about her son, he's like, oh mom and goes over
to hug her.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But by going over to hug her, she's holding she
one hands this huge ass cake. Yeah, like a like
a server would hold a tray over their shoulder.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And immediately look, I make eye contact with Ia Samon's
spot and I was like.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh no, oh, this cake goes flying in the air. No, no,
I had.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The moment, the moment Danny said it to me, Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Here are the gasps.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh oh no, and everyone all wants to It's kind
of sad because it was a beautiful moment again captured
on video. Beautiful moment and even the sentiment of giving
the hug was a beautiful moment. But he hugg her
while she was holding it, so she dropped the cake.
And I had watched your wife their arms down. I
had watched your wife put all these candles in. She
made sure everything was right, she put on a special play.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Oh dude.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But as I said to her face down right on
the ground, and I did also feel bad for the
clean up crew. I did only what I thought I
could do, which was I grabbed little piece off the
floor and I go, still good, it's still good, still good.
But it I'll tell you how it ties into other
things going on, especially in the world. Warts Sometimes you
(09:01):
could take a moment like that and look at it
us the moment's ruined, or you could say, to be honest,
this created a memory that wouldn't have been there had
nothing not gone wrong. Becomes more memorable memorable, right, I mean, listen,
if the if everyone just had a cake and a hug,
oh yeah, whatever, that's sweet. But the fact that she
dropped the cake, you guys will be talking about that
(09:23):
for the next thirty years.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He's right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
There's gonna be a Thanksgiving where you're all sitting down
and someone brings out a cake, and you know what
someone's gonna say, Branda, Hey mom, remember when you drop
Oh I remember that story. Every year, someone's gonna be
remember when Mom dropped that cake.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Anytime someone breaks out a cake, they're gonna say, don't
give it to Branda. Oh man, remember that time.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
The weight of that thing pancake did it too. It
was squashed then on the floor and she felt bad.
Huh Danny g oh, yeah, yeah, she she didn't know
how to react. But then a few minutes later nobody
had it on camera, right Rich. At first everybody was like, oh,
I stopped filling it before that happen.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
What happened was everyone wanted to get the cute pictures
of Danny's one year old, so happy birthday to you,
clup club cup. Everyone puts their phone away, and that's
when she goes and I got another cake for our other.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Son, no except her mom.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, we let our guard down, is what happened.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We let our guard down. So one person has the
video and Danny, if you don't mind, I'll post it.
Go for it at covine on Rich and you have
footage of it.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Once we found out that her mom did have it
on her phone, then everybody took turns gathering around the
phone watching it, and there was just the most laughter
you've heard in a long time. So yeah, you're right,
that made it so memorable.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Sorry, are you following, guys? Beautiful moment quote unquote ruined?
But was it really when you got this funny ass
story to share on the radio, to share with your family,
to talk about, you know, in years to come, it
becomes more of a memory. You could tie that to
a question that you know, Big Ryan, the guy that
(10:56):
taunts I was sad with trash, yeah, and recycling big sexy,
big sexy Yeah. Of course he pulls the question in
the minute we walked in the studio today, and it
goes exactly with this, because you could argue, what would
you rather the cake have been saved and we all
had a little sliver cake, hey, good luck at college,
or a lifelong memory of your wife dropping a huge
ass cake. I'm gonna go dropping the huge ass cake
(11:19):
definitely more memorable. It's more memorable. I wouldn't choose that,
but it's definitely more memorable. And as time passes, because
in the moment you're still upset about it, but as
time passes then you realize this is kind of funny.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
You'll eat a hundred of those cakes, that style of
cake in your life and go to hundreds of birthday
parties over the course of your life. But you'll definitely
remember that.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And Danny g if it was like nineteen eighty something,
you guys would have been on America's Funniest Home Videos. Yeah,
Bob Sag. Bob Saga would have introduced you. Yeah, and
now Danny in California.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah, and then backstage you would have told me a
dirty joke.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You couldn't want to know. What was it? Ten hundred thousand?
I think ten thousand. You could have been a big winner.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Because so could have sat there with a polyester suit
on in the front row.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
If you listen close, you hear Danny g go, oh
you know, oh No. This ties into like I said
the question Ryan asked when we walked in, And I'll
pose this to you, much like the falling cake is
better than the regular cake?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Do you rather be?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Someone that medals at the Olympics will forever be known
as the guys, The guy who's junk couldn't make it
over the pole vault, the Shong jump winner. Yeah, the
guy that the world knows, everybody knows is packing now
Wasn't Amaradi of France Anthony Amuradi of France, who again
(12:44):
went viral over the weekend because he was doing.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
The pole vault.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He clears the bar, but his junk hits the bar
and you see it over and over again. His slow
motion and you're thinking, this dude just lost the chance
at a medal.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Because you had some jiggle. So again the silver lining is.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
The cake shop is well, everyone knows he's packing now, but.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That is that just as good.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I mean, I'm not saying he's going to go this route,
but did you see that already a smut site has
offered him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars just to
show the world no surprise. So I'm not saying that's
what you want to be known for. But if you
want to talk about I'm a guy that lives on
the the concept of.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'd rather a good story.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Rich is saying that bad could be better if you
like that story or the memory that goes with it,
Because it is true. If I told you Anthony Amuradi
won the gold for pole vault, you'd be like, oh cool.
You'd forget that in two days, two years from now,
twenty years from now, you might remember gold might be
the only kit the bar in the Olympics. You're going
(13:51):
to always remember that gold might be the only exception.
Because I think Robers you have a better chance of
remembering it's a what's more important to him? I'm sure
is the gold medal, but as far as what lasts
longer in our memories is the moment. So I ask you,
do you rather be Anthony Amuradi, a silver medal winner,
(14:12):
or Anthony Emmuradi, the guy forever known as the dude
who's junk took out the.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Paul Vault that one it's gold.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Or I'd rather be the guy who took out the.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Gold or junk gold or junk bronze.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
No way, Nope, not worth it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
If you're not winning gold, Bonzi.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
If I'm not winning gold, then I'd rather be famous
for my junk.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Isn't it sick to say? Either way? He wins? Kind
of right?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
He won the junk medal, he won, he.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Won, And you're right because if you would have told
us he won the silver, maybe even.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
The gold, we're all gonna forget about him because no, wait.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, there's more, because there's two other stories that sort
of all tie in to this one. Danny g moment,
the cake drops. Everyone's sad about it.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So, by the way, he's a.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Legend from this point on. And if he's single, there's
DMS happening right now. I'm a and business opportunities.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
A lot of these olympians don't make a lot of
cash if they don't medal, or they don't get sponsorships.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
If he's not sponsoring or doing spokesman stuff. Cave you
know for one of these underwear companies that have the
pouch built in, right, I mean, do you see him
all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
There's a girl that had a cheese sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
If this site doesn't get like a boxer brief sponsorships,
he's got the wrong agent.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I mean what a bragging right?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Worldwide stage is chunk knocks the bar down? Anthony? Did
you win it? How'd you do at the Olympics? And
it's the pole vault. It's all too there's so much
comedy there.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Puts new meaning on the term pole vault, doesn't I know?
So boy, play the rimshot on yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
See yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
There's two other stories that tie into this where the
story might be better as a result. I just watched
Depete Rose documentary. We talked about it over and over
again last week. So many people say that, even our
very own Dan Patrick said in that documentary that every
year when the Hall of Fame conversation comes up, who
(16:03):
do we always talk about in debate whose name always
comes up, Pete Rose. If he got in the Hall
of Fame, his legacy may have just sort of I
don't want to say died there, but we wouldn't be
talking about him every year the way we're talking about
Pete Rose. Like everybody knows the legend of Pete Rose
(16:25):
and how he gambled, and the story of Pete Rose
and how tragic it is, and he should be in
the Hall because we've extended this story for thirty years.
Sometimes the story is better.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Bobby Benia is Bobby Benia, I mean, not a Hall
of Famer, a good home run hitter for a couple years.
But why is Bobby Bonia None?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Bobby Right, So yeah, I'm sure there's Pete Rose made
it very clear he wants to be in the Hall
of Fame. But the ancillary prize here, just like everybody
knows that dude's packing, just like everybody's gonna remember that
cake drop is that everyone's gonna remember Pete Rose and
his and his controversy and his legacy and his hits
in the controversy about not getting in the Hall of
(17:02):
Fame as a result of prolonging this process.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
The pole vaulter was highlighted on the Today Show earlier today,
So I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Mean would he have been highlighted if not for his
package hitting the bar? No?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
By the way, how many times did they send you?
Did someone send you that clip of the guy right
slo Mo?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
If he won the gold.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Nobody would have sent you that clip, not one person.
Nobody cares about the pole vault, the fact that that happened.
Everybody saw that a million times. You and I have
had this theory for years, so we stand by it.
The story is sometimes better than the accomplishment. It goes
back to we used to call it the Janate story.
I think I've said it quickly here on the show.
(17:42):
My friend Jeanette worked for the Mets back in the day,
huge David Wright fan. Every woman in New York that
didn't like If you didn't have a crush on Jeter, ladies,
you like David Wright, it was you know, Derek Jeter.
David Wright dominated New York for a time period. My
friend Jeanette huge David Wright fan. So I take there
even in the same category, and I like David Wright.
(18:03):
Give me a break. David Wright didn't win Jack Didley's squat.
He was a great player. I like him face of
the Mets for a decade. I like David Right. You're
making me say that, Jeeter. I feel like it's so
much better than David Right. All right, he's the greatest
guy in the world. I can't let you Jets David Wright.
Wan naa David Right out sideline like Mattingly with injuries,
(18:25):
would have been a Hall of I.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Like David Right.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Like I said, you're forcing me David Wright. It's a
Hall of Famer head he not got injured. I know
that's a big what if. But David Wright was you know,
had to walk away from the game at thirty something
the other way years old.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
If you're a Mets fan, he was the guy you loved.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
So my friend Jeannette, who is working with the Mets,
gets a delivery in her office from David Wright and
it's a sign jersey and she lost it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
She's a he had a crush on David Wright.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What a moment, right, The jersey goes to hanging in
her office, says dear jannate thanks for my number one fan,
David Wright. It's like jenaatee. He he didn't know how
to spell Janette. But the story lives on.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I said, that's the best thing that ever happened. Who
cares about Jeanette. The story lives on. The Jenaate story
is what you want.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You want the cake story, you want the junk on
the pall vault, and it leads us to a story
that has made it to a law school. Yeah, this
is the icing on Danny G's fallen cake right here,
because the story lives on. Yeah, it's been over what
ten years since Armando Galarraga pitched a Perfect Game. We
all watched it go down, Rich, If I'm not mistaken,
(19:36):
you and I watched it live, Like we saw this
happen live. People were like, yo, dude, perfect game alert,
and we saw this happen somewhere.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
At a bar.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And you know, we were watching this game happen. And
it turns out that.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And you guys, remember, in twenty ten, Jim Joyce wrongly
called Indians hitter Jason Donald safe at first base, spoiling
the Perfect Game, opening himself up to worldwide infamy. Now,
Jim Joyce said he's received thirteen to fifteen hundred death
threats as a result of what happened and you know,
(20:14):
he was very sorry about it, and he apologized when
it happened and all that. But since then, on a
documentary I saw on ESPN, I believe it was an
e sixty documentary, there's been a convincing argument by a
law class at Mammoth University in New Jersey where they
want to turn over the decision. The law professor at Mammoth,
(20:39):
Lawrence Jones, was trying to explain that sometimes there's an injustice. Yeah,
for example, look at this story. And the kids were
just little kids when this happened. Their minds were blown
when they saw the footage and the injustice of Armando
Colorado's no hitter and a perfect game, I should say,
and He's kids were like, well, why don't they just
(21:01):
turn it over? So they decided to write this eighty
page sort of thesis to the commissioner about why this
is an injustice and why it should be overturned.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
And there's really no good reason why they want it.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
This is like, oh, a bad call in the third inning,
and who knows what would have happened.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It was the final play of the game. They blew
the call.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The game ended on the next batter, so they asked
him Joyce as well, would you think if they were
able to overturn this? How do you feel bout He's like,
I'm all for it. He deserves it, And why do
we bring this up? Well, it's a really cool story
and it doesn't make you think, and I want your
thoughts on that, like, do you think it should be
overturned if they allowed it? Do you agree with that?
(21:40):
Or Hey, man, it happened in a moment human error.
That's just how it is. I feel like it's ties
opening up the floodgates and you open up a can
of worms on going back and changing calls and things
like that. But we tie that into every story you
heard so far, because guys, even though what a perfect
game has only happened twenty something times, we remember this
(22:03):
one and Armando Galaaga is probably more remembered as a
result of the injustice, as a result of the bad
moment that happened, and how he carried himself, how him
and Jim Joyce both carried themselves in this moment.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Even at the Hall of Fame, there's a part of
the Hall of Fame that focuses on this exact perfect game,
non perfect game. So I think again, this is how
Danny G's wife, Brenda is exactly like Jim Joyce. You
take a bad moment and it becomes more memorable to
turn it into a good one as a result, that's
(22:41):
one of the most legendary moments in baseball history. Unfortunately,
you know, for Armando Gallerago. But again we remember him
for that. We remember the moment. So could bad be better?
And based on that? I do want to know your
thoughts if Mamathia and these students who were perplexed by
(23:02):
the fact that we allowed this to happen and go
down that way. So wait, I think from a kid's
perspective of today who lives in instant replay, and you know,
they like to get it right, question things like what
do you mean we want to get it right?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You can say what you want. About the younger generation,
they do push the envelope.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
They do question, well, why you tell these kids, well,
that's just how it was, and they just don't wrap
their heads around it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
If they're able to change this, are you all for
it or not?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's a good question eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox,
if they could overturn it, which is simply Yo, it
was the last play of the game. Over a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
We all saw it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's just a matter of them saying yes and putting
his name in the record and saying, yeah, he had
a perfect game.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
We just made a mistake. Yeah, who's the stubborn ass here?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Is it just baseball? The Hall of Fame? Like it
takes one person? Like you know what, let's let's return.
It's not the Hall of Fame. They have nothing to
do with that. So think about that. And does it
just open up can of worms? Does it open up
a can of worms? I'm going to leave that to you.
We'll debate it, we'll discuss it. But we could say,
when you think of all these stories, the guy with
his junk, Pete Rose's legacy, Danny G's cake story, sometimes
(24:13):
bad is better because the memory lives longer.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
True. Well, hey, your.

podcast goes up courtesy of Danny G to super producer.
Be sure to search the podcast search Covino and Rich
wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to follow,

Thursday was great, over promised. We went over the real
(26:24):
highlights from the Olympics and the moments where the sequel
is better than the original based on fury Usik two.
So again over promised on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page
and follow the podcast. We're Covino and Rich and we're
gonna be playing Summer Games trivia later on for prizes,
so stick around for that. But right now, could bad
(26:47):
be better? There's like five stories that all intertwine. Danny
G had a birthday party for his son. They dropped
the cake right on the floor and everyone's like, oh,
but Danny Jeu was like, oh no, but when you
look back, it's gonna be funnier than had they not
dropped the cake.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Anthony Amarati of France loses the gold, but everybody knows
he's packing because it's junk knocked over the pole the
bar and we saw it. Everyone's talking about it all
week and long. So again the silver lining is bad.
Could be better now he gets endorsement of everybody's talking
about him.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
No one would have been talking about him if he won.
Pete Rose.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The documentary's on fire right now. Why because he's controversial
and our very own Dan Patrick says in the documentary
his legacy is probably stronger because of the controversy that
surrounds him, because every year we talk about him, and
every year we debate should he be in the Hall
of Fame?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Before what do we talk about every year? Bobby knew
you to day. Yeah, he was a good player.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We all remember him from our childhood, but he's more
known for the stupid contract the Mets gave him. And
again Armando Galarraga is in the news because of this
six documentary. Jim Joyce is saying he's all for Mamath
University writing this letter to the Commissioner to overturn the
(28:09):
Perfect Game decision that happen in twenty ten.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
And if you want to hear.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
What the students have to say about it, and what
Jim Joyce has to say about it, take a quick Listen.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah, we didn't want to reversal.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
We just want Armando Kolorado to be added to the list.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
I think more important than whether somebody's names on a
list or not is the memory of how everyone involved
conducted themselves in a way that was consonant with the
values that we think are so important to our game.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
I just don't necessarily agree with it, and I don't
think most of the students agree with it either. But
like we taught them in class, you know, you could
go to court, especially if you're going to be a
lawyer journey, and you could have the greatest argument in
the world. You could be totally convinced that you're right
and do a fantastic job or a argument and written advocacy,
(29:01):
and you can still lose.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
Why do you think they were so adamant not to change.
Speaker 10 (29:06):
It traditional, But I think it'd be one of the
easiest things in the world to do. To be very
honest with you, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He's nice, umpire Jim Joyce at the end. So it
all ties together because we remember that perfect game and
talk about it more because of what happened, because of
the mistake, so bad could be better if you look
at it from that perspective years removed. Again, that was
twenty ten, we're still talking about it. Then the second
(29:37):
question is do you think they should overturn it? And
does that just open up a can of worms? I
think this is such a cut and dry case when
people say, well what about this or then that? Not
ever things like that, you don't need to be like, well,
you did it for this, you got to do for that.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
This to me is such an in that.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But you can then reopen every blown call or every
questionable decision and try to prove your case if you
do it, and everything else in life, well you could
real in cases or second guess things or change your mind.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Why not in this.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Can they take the tuck rull back? Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
You know it happened. It is what it is, and
that's just how it is. But I do love the
perspective of a young kid who is a little kid
when this happened, hearing the story in them being befuddled
as to well, why didn't they overturn it? Sorry, it
would have been a magical moment. You're right, but yeah, no,
it's just how it played out.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
And then these kids today who are just so used
to things being different, they're like, oh, we don't get it,
but then they did take the initiative to try to
get it changed. Let's go to Greg in Sinsey. Your thoughts, man,
is it logical to say, dude, just overturn it or
is that just not the way? What's up, Jim, Greg.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Well, you're not allowed to have an air and it
doesn't matter me.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
Of course, Jim Joyce is gonna say that he wants
to overturn it.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
I assume Bill Bert Buckner wants to have another run
at that ground ball.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Well, it is very specific thing. I'm with you on
the Jim Joyce thing. Of course, he wants to be
removed from this horrible situation so that Armando Galarraga could
be in the record books.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But the Bill Buckner thing, that's a that's a totally difference. Again,
That's what Rich was trying to say. This is a
very specific, last out blown call, very specific.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I don't like when people say, well, if you do this,
so we got to do it for everyone.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Get done.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I hate when people say that at work, Like you
ever ask your boss like, hey, can I get a
raise for this? Well, you know we were not giving
this person or this. I don't care about them, I'm
talking about me. This is a particular case where it's
very specific, so specific. Like if I told you that
a game, a playoff game ended because a foul ball
hit the hit the poll and the umpire called the
(31:45):
foul and you could clearly go back and be like,
it hit the Paul home run. Like if it's so
easily obvious, why not change it? Because you stubbornness? Are
you going to rewrite history for everything? And I do
get that. The Bill Buckner thing I'm just saying is
a different type of example. The guy made a mistake,
he made a full on playing error. When this is
(32:07):
a judgment call at the end of the game, it
would have been it let's go to Jennifer and Michigan.
It doesn't change any outcome. That's another thing, doesn't It
only changes his names in the record book with a
perfect game that we all saw, but then again, we
still talk about it because of what happened exactly Jennifer
and Michigan has an example of where, you know, sometimes
bad could be better.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
What's up, Jennifer, Hey, Jennifer, Hey guys. Of course you
all know. I'm a Detroit Tigers fan and I was
thirty one.
Speaker 12 (32:36):
I think that happened just after my birthday.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So I was like, oh, come on, yeah, you missed
the call. I'm over it.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
But if they can get it overturned, just overturn this
and move on.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I mean, listen, it was hard. But who would say no,
this is a question baseball? But what is it?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Who the commissioner that he? Rob Manford could be like, no, yeah,
you heard what Rob Manford said. He's the one that said,
I think the takeaway should be how they both conducted themselves.
He's not saying, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You just brought up a sore spots, saying Rob Manfred
because what about Oh, it's just a piece of metal.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
What about the cheating Astros?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
What about the Dodgers?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
That's why they don't want to touch I'm saying yeah,
And of course no Astro had any consequence because they
got immunity.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Well, hey your thoughts at kviin on Rich and we'll
go to Manzi for an update.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Manzi, any thoughts to you? Do you think they should
overturn this type of thing or na?
Speaker 6 (33:38):
I mean, yes, I want them to overturn that's that
particular game in that situation. But it does open up
a count of worms.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
That's I agree, Yes, why not overturn? It's very simple.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Everybody knows and it's very black and white that a
mistake was made. But I don't think it's that simple
if you do overturn this one, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
But I think it back though it is heartbreaking, Oh
my god. With Rich.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
If I was him, I'd be like, absolutely overturn it
because it's about me.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
It's so for everybody here, Jim Joyce, for Colorago franchise.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Fans, people would be mad about it.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I think most people would be like, yeah, but it
does still open up a can of work.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Well, what it does is it opens a lot of
people with their what about is what about again?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Run off? Situation?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
You asked for a raise.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
And the boss like, well, none of the update anchors,
I don't care about Nick.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Is talk about me.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Do you think Jason Donald is going to be upset
if they overturn his hit of the Indians that.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Imagine, imagine got a bonus? Keep it both ways?
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
It just becomes, uh, okay, what else can we overturn?
So Brandon Aiyuk is trending, you guys, because some accounts
that have like a couple thousands of followers.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Now, this is not it. This is not happening.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Okay, because apparently wrap A and Pella Sero just said
on the NFL network that this is not a thing.
But there's these accounts with like thousands of followers that
are saying that the forty nine Ers and Steelers are
making a trade for Brandon Ayuk.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
But so people are like, is this true?
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Is this true?
Speaker 5 (35:14):
And everybody's going crazy with Brandon ayug right now. He
is trending.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
This is not happening, but people are talking about it.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Now.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
We know he requested a trade, so he hasn't participated
in practice, but he is at practice.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
He's in meetings, he's engaged.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yet not only is that practice, he's like bro hugging
John Lancham Kyle Shanahan, and everything looks.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Like like dandy. Everyone's just we're just waiting for.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It to you know, if you go to like forty
nine Ers fan pages, they're all like, it's just a
matter of time.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Don't worry.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Another NFL News, Bengals head coach Zach Taylor an til
reporters at defensive end Cam Sample tore his achilles.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
He's out for this season.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua is considered a week two
week after suffering a knee injury yesterday. The Rams are
off today. They're going to return to practice on Tuesday.
Let's go to the Olympics. Men's volley all just defeated
Brazil in the quarterfinals match in four sets to advance
to the semi finals. They're going to face Poland on Wednesday.
It was a final day for gymnastics. Simone Biles won
silver on the floor. Jordan Chiles won the bronze. That's
(36:11):
eleven total medals for Biles, tying her for second most
all time for a female gymnast. US Men's water polo
be Croatia. They're headed to the quarterfinals. Women's three on
three basketball defeated Canada. They won the bronze medal. L
And the big story in the NFL, My Bad Chiefs
star kicker Harrison Butker have agreed to a four year,
twenty five point six million dollar contract extension, making him
(36:32):
the highest paid kicker in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Apparently he represented himself.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Did Morgan Wallen? Was he rocking a Butcker jersey or
just to happen to have the same number? Now he
represented Butcker thought it was that was a little subliminal.
He went out there, Travis Kelcey and Morgan.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah, he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Thank you, jeez.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Highest paid kicker logo. That all right, Well, so we
got more Covino and Rich Now Danny g coming up.
We are going to talk about your quarterback. This is
story Garner Minshew, and we got to decide is this
guy a psychopath or the type of dedicated.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Player you want on your team. We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
There's a story about Mahomes and a bunch more all
coming up cold, you know, a wretch on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, I hope you had a great weekend, Terrence
Crawford sort of weekend victorious. That whole card was great,
some good fights Olympics space bo think kind of he fought,
put up a hell of a fight. Terrence Crawford was
(37:29):
a major favorite, and that off Madreamov. My dream of
every announcer said is named different. My dream of was
we getting these big fights, man, these big events. Right now,
we're live from.

is Rich Davis, Danny g Iowa, Sam. We're all hanging out.
You can play along at home at Covino and Rich
(38:10):
and based on bad being better sometimes Rich And this
Armando Galarraga story, it is interesting how with new evidence
we could try to overturn a court case.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
But with baseball people.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Like no no evidence, but all the evidence he says
it was a perfect game.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
We don't care.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
But mom at university and the students who were perplexed
about this outcome. Are trying to make a change happen.
We have one more phone call about it. Think of
all the especially women love true crime, like the true
crime podcast World with Women, really really triggered these kids
to It was just supposed to be a little lesson,
(38:52):
and they ended up writing an eighty page paper to
the baseball commissioner about it. Well, think about it. You're right,
you made a great point. If in all their aspects
of life, if there's new evidence, they'll reopen a court case,
life changing case. But but for a baseball game, right, No, yeah,
but there's video evidence his foot touched the bag first.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
No, No, that's fresh ball.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Nope, I can't do it, sorry, Armando Galarraga, No, can't
do no, can do Hey, Jim Joyce, you're really sorry
for it. Sorry, too bad. Doesn't matter, It doesn't matter
what you say. We have Dustin on the phone to
wrap it up. Hey Dustin and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Hey Dustin, Hey, I enjoy the show. Thank you man.
Speaker 12 (39:31):
Yeah, my point is a little bit about I give
it and it take it away. I understand the sentiment
with the perfect game and it's you know, last out
of the game. You know, it doesn't change anything in
baseball history. But like, if you go back and reopen that,
then you have to look at Johan Santana's no hitter
in twenty twelve. I believe if Scott Rowland hit the
hit the third base line with a line.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Drive, it was actually Carlos Beltron.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
We ended up being a man. I always bring that up, yep,
But you know, I don't think you do because I
was mid game. This was so cut and dry, because
then you could be like, well, that might have changed
the course of the game. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It was the last play of the game out perfect gamespecific. Hey,
you know, be the own judge. Like I said, it
ties into all the other stories of the silver line.
Might have been more memoriy that goes along with everything
we discussed. Would we still be talking about his perfect game?
No way, we do now hadn't that happened?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
No way?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Jose, All right, question for you, because you're a big
fight fan. I did watch the Terrence Crawford fight over
the weekend. The whole card was great. Man is the
eminem concert, mostly in part because he is such a
fan of Bud Crawford. Two things, Yeah, he's a big
Bud Crawford guy, because if you remember, he brought Terrence
Crawford out to the ring.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
They're they're boys, they're boys.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
And remember the Excellency of events, Turkey whatever his name is.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
These guys have crazy money.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
So if they want Eminem to perform, they basically throw
so much money at these fighters to fight, performers to perform. Hell,
there were so many stars out there. I'm not surprised
as if they paid him to be there. So that's
why he's out there. Eminem put a full on concert
on this weekend at the fight.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Would you would you do these six songs? It was great?
Would you do anything the Excellency wanted for money? I mean,
within reason? Yeah? Why not? What if he's like Kuvino?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
What if like some you know, it's like move to
move to Dubai and uh do a private podcast for
me every day and I'll triple what you make.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Turkey Ala Chic, I would say, how much money? Yeah? Okay,
yeah for a year? Why? Life changing money? Maybe? Well,
they're making these fights. That's the debate in itself. They're
making these fights happen, like you said, which is pretty awesome.
All right.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, hey Gardner Minshew psychopath or ultimate dedicated player. We'll
explain exactly why he might be a psychopath to you
or awesome.

She was invited. I just think she wasn't there. I'm
just kidding.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
No, I did invite her because she fills in so
much for a buyer that I thought it was fitting.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
She's part of our show, of.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Course, but nobody fills in for me on the weekends.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I know.
Speaker 6 (02:20):
So I'm not lucky like you guys that work Monday
through Friday with the set job and on the weekends.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
I don't know how that happened to, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
So we all got together for Danny G's sons first
birthday and it was a wonderful time. It was really
relaxing by the beach, beach front, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
What is it called what dunes, Danny G.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
It's Zachary Dune's.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Zachary Dune's over by Oxnard.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
To tie that into sports, you hear about Oxnard because
a lot of fighters come from Oxnard, a lot of boxers,
a lot of training goes on in Oxnard, California. But
that beach area, that beach scene was so nice to
have a drink and just chaill and hang out and
celebrate Danny G's little baby.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Didn't he get moved at the trade deadline. Zachary Dunes, Zachary.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
A middle reliever on the Zachary Dunes is my alias
to check into a Yeah, but I know nothing about
Zachary Dunes.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
We pull up and man it was like, this is perfect,
what a nice day. You know, it really was a
great day. I had so many observations just watching the
people that we work with in social settings, like Big
Mike who runs his place. Who Mike, he's wearing sandals
this weekend comes there, I'm sorry, panther slides. He has
(03:35):
his like hat and sunglasses, like but like like a
little fedora Like he's like summer mic.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, summer mic.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Then I was Sam, I did I posted on our
Instagram story, I wish Sam eating a fruit roll up?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Like, what is this guy's an animal?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
I mean he comes to party. There's no question he's
a maniac clicken. He everyone has their summer look going on.
I appreciate that. I a wowas Sam had a nice
bright yellow button down with a goop aline the paper
boy had. Yeah, he was rocking the goup aline real strong.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
At the end of the party, he opened up his
backpack and he brought his pet skunk with him.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Apparently that I didn't know about that.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, that seems like I missed out on all the
fund he didn't meet my pet skunk. But but honestly,
it's still on our Instagram story for another couple of hours,
I would say, I'm eating a fruit roll up. Is
something that I don't look at it? Oh please don't.
Now you gotta look at Covino and Rich. But we
bring up Danny's party not only to say happy birthday
to your son. Today's he's official birthday, right one years old.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Happy birthday.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
One year ago today. He was born in Woodland Hills, California.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
We'll get that. So happy birthday, baby CoA.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
And at the birthday party, I got to what you said,
We got to all hang out.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
It was fun. Observation number one, there might be a
new beach game in town.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
I don't know if, if if you should even preface
it that week. I think he's been around for a minute.
I haven't played, so for people that are were like,
what is this talking about? There's a new beach game.
You know what if you've never seen it, I guess
it's new to you, right. Have you played ladder ball?
It's also known as ladder toss because I looked it
up too describing it somebody, Uh, ladder ball is a
lot of fun. Danny G's Stepsun's challenged me the moment
(05:15):
I arrived. I hadn't even gotten a drink, yet We're like,
you're next. I'm like, I don't even know. I was
so intimidated because I'm like, I don't know how to
play this.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
I lie to them and I said, I'm more of
a spike ball kind of guy, and they're like, oh,
we're good at that too, and I'm like, you know what,
I dding, I was just kidding. I don't play any
of these games, but I'm glad I did because Ladderball
ladder Toss was kind of like a cornhole vibe.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I liked it a lot.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Yeah, it's it's two balls attached by a string and
can you toss it?
Speaker 1 (05:42):
And it's got to wrap around like a pole.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
It's fun.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
It's one of those typical beach games, but always fun
to have one of those things on standby. But my
biggest observation from Danny G's kids birthday party ties into
something that we're gonna bring into the sports world because
there's two stories in the world of sports and it
has the same backstore is what happened at Danny's party.
It's turning dilemmas into dilemonade. The silver lining of is
(06:07):
bad better? Sometimes? Could bad be?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Better.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All these stories sort of intertwine will explain. I'm starts
with Danny G. I'm a believer that people that don't
think so are wrong. I think bad could sometimes be better.
It's a matter of perspective. It's just a matter of
switching your perspective on it, how you look at things.
As time goes on, you can see it from a
(06:32):
different place and appreciate things differently. So where Danny's gathering,
and after we sing happy birthday for his one year
old son, CoA, there's another birthday and a cake to
go along with it, because danny stepson is traveling, he's
going away to college.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
And there was another cake.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
And this is a big sheet cake, like like like
one of those huge ass sheet cake.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
Here, big old marble sheet cake.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
And your your wife, Danny G starts saying some like
beautiful words because he's going he's going away to college.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
So she's saying a little speech to her older son,
right too.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Right, yeah, yeah, we were doing his birthday a week
early because he's about to go on a road trip
to Oklahoma.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
He's going to be a sooner.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Dude, And your beautiful wife is like, he could accomplish anything,
he's such a smart young man. I'm so proudy you.
And everyone's probably getting alteria, like, oh, Brendon's.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Beautiful, my baby's going to college.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
And as she's given this cute, little like sentimental speech
about her son, he's like, oh mom and goes over
to hug her.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
But by going over to hug her, she's holding she
one hands this huge ass cake. Yeah, like a like
a server would hold a tray over their shoulder.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
And immediately look, I make eye contact with Ia Samon's
spot and I was like.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Oh no, oh, this cake goes flying in the air. No, no,
I had.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The moment, the moment Danny said it to me, Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Here are the gasps.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh oh no, and everyone all wants to It's kind
of sad because it was a beautiful moment again captured
on video. Beautiful moment and even the sentiment of giving
the hug was a beautiful moment. But he hugg her
while she was holding it, so she dropped the cake.
And I had watched your wife their arms down. I
had watched your wife put all these candles in. She
made sure everything was right, she put on a special play.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Oh dude.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But as I said to her face down right on
the ground, and I did also feel bad for the
clean up crew. I did only what I thought I
could do, which was I grabbed little piece off the
floor and I go, still good, it's still good, still good.
But it I'll tell you how it ties into other
things going on, especially in the world. Warts Sometimes you
(09:01):
could take a moment like that and look at it
us the moment's ruined, or you could say, to be honest,
this created a memory that wouldn't have been there had
nothing not gone wrong. Becomes more memorable memorable, right, I mean, listen,
if the if everyone just had a cake and a hug,
oh yeah, whatever, that's sweet. But the fact that she
dropped the cake, you guys will be talking about that
(09:23):
for the next thirty years.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
He's right.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
There's gonna be a Thanksgiving where you're all sitting down
and someone brings out a cake, and you know what
someone's gonna say, Branda, Hey mom, remember when you drop
Oh I remember that story. Every year, someone's gonna be
remember when Mom dropped that cake.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Anytime someone breaks out a cake, they're gonna say, don't
give it to Branda. Oh man, remember that time.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
The weight of that thing pancake did it too. It
was squashed then on the floor and she felt bad.
Huh Danny g oh, yeah, yeah, she she didn't know
how to react. But then a few minutes later nobody
had it on camera, right Rich. At first everybody was like, oh,
I stopped filling it before that happen.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
What happened was everyone wanted to get the cute pictures
of Danny's one year old, so happy birthday to you,
clup club cup. Everyone puts their phone away, and that's
when she goes and I got another cake for our other.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Son, no except her mom.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
Yeah, we let our guard down, is what happened.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
We let our guard down. So one person has the
video and Danny, if you don't mind, I'll post it.
Go for it at covine on Rich and you have
footage of it.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Once we found out that her mom did have it
on her phone, then everybody took turns gathering around the
phone watching it, and there was just the most laughter
you've heard in a long time. So yeah, you're right,
that made it so memorable.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Sorry, are you following, guys? Beautiful moment quote unquote ruined?
But was it really when you got this funny ass
story to share on the radio, to share with your family,
to talk about, you know, in years to come, it
becomes more of a memory. You could tie that to
a question that you know, Big Ryan, the guy that
(10:56):
taunts I was sad with trash, yeah, and recycling big sexy,
big sexy Yeah. Of course he pulls the question in
the minute we walked in the studio today, and it
goes exactly with this, because you could argue, what would
you rather the cake have been saved and we all
had a little sliver cake, hey, good luck at college,
or a lifelong memory of your wife dropping a huge
ass cake. I'm gonna go dropping the huge ass cake
(11:19):
definitely more memorable. It's more memorable. I wouldn't choose that,
but it's definitely more memorable. And as time passes, because
in the moment you're still upset about it, but as
time passes then you realize this is kind of funny.
Speaker 7 (11:31):
You'll eat a hundred of those cakes, that style of
cake in your life and go to hundreds of birthday
parties over the course of your life. But you'll definitely
remember that.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
And Danny g if it was like nineteen eighty something,
you guys would have been on America's Funniest Home Videos. Yeah,
Bob Sag. Bob Saga would have introduced you. Yeah, and
now Danny in California.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
Yeah, and then backstage you would have told me a
dirty joke.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
You couldn't want to know. What was it? Ten hundred thousand?
I think ten thousand. You could have been a big winner.
Speaker 3 (11:56):
Because so could have sat there with a polyester suit
on in the front row.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
If you listen close, you hear Danny g go, oh
you know, oh No. This ties into like I said
the question Ryan asked when we walked in, And I'll
pose this to you, much like the falling cake is
better than the regular cake?
Speaker 1 (12:17):
Do you rather be?
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Someone that medals at the Olympics will forever be known
as the guys, The guy who's junk couldn't make it
over the pole vault, the Shong jump winner. Yeah, the
guy that the world knows, everybody knows is packing now
Wasn't Amaradi of France Anthony Amuradi of France, who again
(12:44):
went viral over the weekend because he was doing.
Speaker 4 (12:48):
The pole vault.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
He clears the bar, but his junk hits the bar
and you see it over and over again. His slow
motion and you're thinking, this dude just lost the chance
at a medal.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Because you had some jiggle. So again the silver lining is.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
The cake shop is well, everyone knows he's packing now, but.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That is that just as good.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I mean, I'm not saying he's going to go this route,
but did you see that already a smut site has
offered him two hundred and fifty thousand dollars just to
show the world no surprise. So I'm not saying that's
what you want to be known for. But if you
want to talk about I'm a guy that lives on
the the concept of.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'd rather a good story.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Rich is saying that bad could be better if you
like that story or the memory that goes with it,
Because it is true. If I told you Anthony Amuradi
won the gold for pole vault, you'd be like, oh cool.
You'd forget that in two days, two years from now,
twenty years from now, you might remember gold might be
the only kit the bar in the Olympics. You're going
(13:51):
to always remember that gold might be the only exception.
Because I think Robers you have a better chance of
remembering it's a what's more important to him? I'm sure
is the gold medal, but as far as what lasts
longer in our memories is the moment. So I ask you,
do you rather be Anthony Amuradi, a silver medal winner,
(14:12):
or Anthony Emmuradi, the guy forever known as the dude
who's junk took out the.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
Paul Vault that one it's gold.
Speaker 6 (14:20):
Or I'd rather be the guy who took out the.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Gold or junk gold or junk bronze.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
No way, Nope, not worth it.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
If you're not winning gold, Bonzi.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
If I'm not winning gold, then I'd rather be famous
for my junk.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Isn't it sick to say? Either way? He wins? Kind
of right?
Speaker 4 (14:34):
He won the junk medal, he won, he.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Won, And you're right because if you would have told
us he won the silver, maybe even.
Speaker 5 (14:41):
The gold, we're all gonna forget about him because no, wait.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Yeah, there's more, because there's two other stories that sort
of all tie in to this one. Danny g moment,
the cake drops. Everyone's sad about it.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
So, by the way, he's a.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
Legend from this point on. And if he's single, there's
DMS happening right now. I'm a and business opportunities.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
A lot of these olympians don't make a lot of
cash if they don't medal, or they don't get sponsorships.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
If he's not sponsoring or doing spokesman stuff. Cave you
know for one of these underwear companies that have the
pouch built in, right, I mean, do you see him
all the time.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
There's a girl that had a cheese sponsorship.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
If this site doesn't get like a boxer brief sponsorships,
he's got the wrong agent.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I mean what a bragging right?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Huh?
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Worldwide stage is chunk knocks the bar down? Anthony? Did
you win it? How'd you do at the Olympics? And
it's the pole vault. It's all too there's so much
comedy there.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
Puts new meaning on the term pole vault, doesn't I know?
So boy, play the rimshot on yourself.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
See yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
There's two other stories that tie into this where the
story might be better as a result. I just watched
Depete Rose documentary. We talked about it over and over
again last week. So many people say that, even our
very own Dan Patrick said in that documentary that every
year when the Hall of Fame conversation comes up, who
(16:03):
do we always talk about in debate whose name always
comes up, Pete Rose. If he got in the Hall
of Fame, his legacy may have just sort of I
don't want to say died there, but we wouldn't be
talking about him every year the way we're talking about
Pete Rose. Like everybody knows the legend of Pete Rose
(16:25):
and how he gambled, and the story of Pete Rose
and how tragic it is, and he should be in
the Hall because we've extended this story for thirty years.
Sometimes the story is better.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Bobby Benia is Bobby Benia, I mean, not a Hall
of Famer, a good home run hitter for a couple years.
But why is Bobby Bonia None?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Bobby Right, So yeah, I'm sure there's Pete Rose made
it very clear he wants to be in the Hall
of Fame. But the ancillary prize here, just like everybody
knows that dude's packing, just like everybody's gonna remember that
cake drop is that everyone's gonna remember Pete Rose and
his and his controversy and his legacy and his hits
in the controversy about not getting in the Hall of
(17:02):
Fame as a result of prolonging this process.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
Dude.
Speaker 2 (17:05):
The pole vaulter was highlighted on the Today Show earlier today,
So I.
Speaker 1 (17:09):
Mean would he have been highlighted if not for his
package hitting the bar? No?
Speaker 2 (17:16):
By the way, how many times did they send you?
Did someone send you that clip of the guy right
slo Mo?
Speaker 4 (17:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (17:21):
If he won the gold.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Nobody would have sent you that clip, not one person.
Nobody cares about the pole vault, the fact that that happened.
Everybody saw that a million times. You and I have
had this theory for years, so we stand by it.
The story is sometimes better than the accomplishment. It goes
back to we used to call it the Janate story.
I think I've said it quickly here on the show.
(17:42):
My friend Jeanette worked for the Mets back in the day,
huge David Wright fan. Every woman in New York that
didn't like If you didn't have a crush on Jeter, ladies,
you like David Wright, it was you know, Derek Jeter.
David Wright dominated New York for a time period. My
friend Jeanette huge David Wright fan. So I take there
even in the same category, and I like David Wright.
(18:03):
Give me a break. David Wright didn't win Jack Didley's squat.
He was a great player. I like him face of
the Mets for a decade. I like David Right. You're
making me say that, Jeeter. I feel like it's so
much better than David Right. All right, he's the greatest
guy in the world. I can't let you Jets David Wright.
Wan naa David Right out sideline like Mattingly with injuries,
(18:25):
would have been a Hall of I.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Like David Right.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Like I said, you're forcing me David Wright. It's a
Hall of Famer head he not got injured. I know
that's a big what if. But David Wright was you know,
had to walk away from the game at thirty something
the other way years old.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
If you're a Mets fan, he was the guy you loved.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
So my friend Jeannette, who is working with the Mets,
gets a delivery in her office from David Wright and
it's a sign jersey and she lost it.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
She's a he had a crush on David Wright.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
What a moment, right, The jersey goes to hanging in
her office, says dear jannate thanks for my number one fan,
David Wright. It's like jenaatee. He he didn't know how
to spell Janette. But the story lives on.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
I said, that's the best thing that ever happened. Who
cares about Jeanette. The story lives on. The Jenaate story
is what you want.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
You want the cake story, you want the junk on
the pall vault, and it leads us to a story
that has made it to a law school. Yeah, this
is the icing on Danny G's fallen cake right here,
because the story lives on. Yeah, it's been over what
ten years since Armando Galarraga pitched a Perfect Game. We
all watched it go down, Rich, If I'm not mistaken,
(19:36):
you and I watched it live, Like we saw this
happen live. People were like, yo, dude, perfect game alert,
and we saw this happen somewhere.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
At a bar.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
And you know, we were watching this game happen. And
it turns out that.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
And you guys, remember, in twenty ten, Jim Joyce wrongly
called Indians hitter Jason Donald safe at first base, spoiling
the Perfect Game, opening himself up to worldwide infamy. Now,
Jim Joyce said he's received thirteen to fifteen hundred death
threats as a result of what happened and you know,
(20:14):
he was very sorry about it, and he apologized when
it happened and all that. But since then, on a
documentary I saw on ESPN, I believe it was an
e sixty documentary, there's been a convincing argument by a
law class at Mammoth University in New Jersey where they
want to turn over the decision. The law professor at Mammoth,
(20:39):
Lawrence Jones, was trying to explain that sometimes there's an injustice. Yeah,
for example, look at this story. And the kids were
just little kids when this happened. Their minds were blown
when they saw the footage and the injustice of Armando
Colorado's no hitter and a perfect game, I should say,
and He's kids were like, well, why don't they just
(21:01):
turn it over? So they decided to write this eighty
page sort of thesis to the commissioner about why this
is an injustice and why it should be overturned.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
And there's really no good reason why they want it.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
This is like, oh, a bad call in the third inning,
and who knows what would have happened.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
It was the final play of the game. They blew
the call.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
The game ended on the next batter, so they asked
him Joyce as well, would you think if they were
able to overturn this? How do you feel bout He's like,
I'm all for it. He deserves it, And why do
we bring this up? Well, it's a really cool story
and it doesn't make you think, and I want your
thoughts on that, like, do you think it should be
overturned if they allowed it? Do you agree with that?
(21:40):
Or Hey, man, it happened in a moment human error.
That's just how it is. I feel like it's ties
opening up the floodgates and you open up a can
of worms on going back and changing calls and things
like that. But we tie that into every story you
heard so far, because guys, even though what a perfect
game has only happened twenty something times, we remember this
(22:03):
one and Armando Galaaga is probably more remembered as a
result of the injustice, as a result of the bad
moment that happened, and how he carried himself, how him
and Jim Joyce both carried themselves in this moment.
Speaker 1 (22:17):
I think.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Even at the Hall of Fame, there's a part of
the Hall of Fame that focuses on this exact perfect game,
non perfect game. So I think again, this is how
Danny G's wife, Brenda is exactly like Jim Joyce. You
take a bad moment and it becomes more memorable to
turn it into a good one as a result, that's
(22:41):
one of the most legendary moments in baseball history. Unfortunately,
you know, for Armando Gallerago. But again we remember him
for that. We remember the moment. So could bad be better?
And based on that? I do want to know your
thoughts if Mamathia and these students who were perplexed by
(23:02):
the fact that we allowed this to happen and go
down that way. So wait, I think from a kid's
perspective of today who lives in instant replay, and you know,
they like to get it right, question things like what
do you mean we want to get it right?
Speaker 1 (23:17):
You can say what you want. About the younger generation,
they do push the envelope.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
They do question, well, why you tell these kids, well,
that's just how it was, and they just don't wrap
their heads around it.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
If they're able to change this, are you all for
it or not?
Speaker 2 (23:30):
It's a good question eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox,
if they could overturn it, which is simply Yo, it
was the last play of the game. Over a decade ago.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
We all saw it.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
It's just a matter of them saying yes and putting
his name in the record and saying, yeah, he had
a perfect game.
Speaker 1 (23:47):
We just made a mistake. Yeah, who's the stubborn ass here?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Is it just baseball? The Hall of Fame? Like it
takes one person? Like you know what, let's let's return.
It's not the Hall of Fame. They have nothing to

just open up can of worms? Does it open up
a can of worms? I'm going to leave that to you.
We'll debate it, we'll discuss it. But we could say,
when you think of all these stories, the guy with
his junk, Pete Rose's legacy, Danny G's cake story, sometimes

bad is better because the memory lives longer.

wherever you get your podcasts, and be sure to follow,

Thursday was great, over promised. We went over the real
(26:24):
highlights from the Olympics and the moments where the sequel
is better than the original based on fury Usik two.
So again over promised on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page
and follow the podcast. We're Covino and Rich and we're
gonna be playing Summer Games trivia later on for prizes,
so stick around for that. But right now, could bad
(26:47):
be better? There's like five stories that all intertwine. Danny
G had a birthday party for his son. They dropped
the cake right on the floor and everyone's like, oh,
but Danny Jeu was like, oh no, but when you
look back, it's gonna be funnier than had they not
dropped the cake.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Right.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Anthony Amarati of France loses the gold, but everybody knows
he's packing because it's junk knocked over the pole the
bar and we saw it. Everyone's talking about it all
week and long. So again the silver lining is bad.
Could be better now he gets endorsement of everybody's talking
about him.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
No one would have been talking about him if he won.
Pete Rose.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
The documentary's on fire right now. Why because he's controversial
and our very own Dan Patrick says in the documentary
his legacy is probably stronger because of the controversy that
surrounds him, because every year we talk about him, and
every year we debate should he be in the Hall
of Fame?
Speaker 1 (27:45):
Before what do we talk about every year? Bobby knew
you to day. Yeah, he was a good player.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
We all remember him from our childhood, but he's more
known for the stupid contract the Mets gave him. And
again Armando Galarraga is in the news because of this
six documentary. Jim Joyce is saying he's all for Mamath
University writing this letter to the Commissioner to overturn the
(28:09):
Perfect Game decision that happen in twenty ten.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
And if you want to hear.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
What the students have to say about it, and what
Jim Joyce has to say about it, take a quick Listen.
Speaker 5 (28:19):
Yeah, we didn't want to reversal.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
We just want Armando Kolorado to be added to the list.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
I think more important than whether somebody's names on a
list or not is the memory of how everyone involved
conducted themselves in a way that was consonant with the
values that we think are so important to our game.
Speaker 11 (28:39):
I just don't necessarily agree with it, and I don't
think most of the students agree with it either. But
like we taught them in class, you know, you could
go to court, especially if you're going to be a
lawyer journey, and you could have the greatest argument in
the world. You could be totally convinced that you're right
and do a fantastic job or a argument and written advocacy,
(29:01):
and you can still lose.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
Why do you think they were so adamant not to change.
Speaker 10 (29:06):
It traditional, But I think it'd be one of the
easiest things in the world to do. To be very
honest with you, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
He's nice, umpire Jim Joyce at the end. So it
all ties together because we remember that perfect game and
talk about it more because of what happened, because of
the mistake, so bad could be better if you look
at it from that perspective years removed. Again, that was
twenty ten, we're still talking about it. Then the second
(29:37):
question is do you think they should overturn it? And
does that just open up a can of worms? I
think this is such a cut and dry case when
people say, well what about this or then that? Not
ever things like that, you don't need to be like, well,
you did it for this, you got to do for that.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
This to me is such an in that.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
But you can then reopen every blown call or every
questionable decision and try to prove your case if you
do it, and everything else in life, well you could
real in cases or second guess things or change your mind.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Why not in this.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
Can they take the tuck rull back? Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (30:07):
You know it happened. It is what it is, and
that's just how it is. But I do love the
perspective of a young kid who is a little kid
when this happened, hearing the story in them being befuddled
as to well, why didn't they overturn it? Sorry, it
would have been a magical moment. You're right, but yeah, no,
it's just how it played out.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
And then these kids today who are just so used
to things being different, they're like, oh, we don't get it,
but then they did take the initiative to try to
get it changed. Let's go to Greg in Sinsey. Your thoughts, man,
is it logical to say, dude, just overturn it or
is that just not the way? What's up, Jim, Greg.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Well, you're not allowed to have an air and it
doesn't matter me.
Speaker 12 (30:51):
Of course, Jim Joyce is gonna say that he wants
to overturn it.
Speaker 8 (30:54):
I assume Bill Bert Buckner wants to have another run
at that ground ball.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Well, it is very specific thing. I'm with you on
the Jim Joyce thing. Of course, he wants to be
removed from this horrible situation so that Armando Galarraga could
be in the record books.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
I get it.
Speaker 2 (31:09):
But the Bill Buckner thing, that's a that's a totally difference. Again,
That's what Rich was trying to say. This is a
very specific, last out blown call, very specific.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
I don't like when people say, well, if you do this,
so we got to do it for everyone.
Speaker 1 (31:22):
Get done.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
I hate when people say that at work, Like you
ever ask your boss like, hey, can I get a
raise for this? Well, you know we were not giving
this person or this. I don't care about them, I'm
talking about me. This is a particular case where it's
very specific, so specific. Like if I told you that
a game, a playoff game ended because a foul ball
hit the hit the poll and the umpire called the
(31:45):
foul and you could clearly go back and be like,
it hit the Paul home run. Like if it's so
easily obvious, why not change it? Because you stubbornness? Are
you going to rewrite history for everything? And I do
get that. The Bill Buckner thing I'm just saying is
a different type of example. The guy made a mistake,
he made a full on playing error. When this is
(32:07):
a judgment call at the end of the game, it
would have been it let's go to Jennifer and Michigan.
It doesn't change any outcome. That's another thing, doesn't It
only changes his names in the record book with a
perfect game that we all saw, but then again, we
still talk about it because of what happened exactly Jennifer
and Michigan has an example of where, you know, sometimes
bad could be better.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
What's up, Jennifer, Hey, Jennifer, Hey guys. Of course you
all know. I'm a Detroit Tigers fan and I was
thirty one.
Speaker 12 (32:36):
I think that happened just after my birthday.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
So I was like, oh, come on, yeah, you missed
the call. I'm over it.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
But if they can get it overturned, just overturn this
and move on.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
I mean, listen, it was hard. But who would say no,
this is a question baseball? But what is it?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Who the commissioner that he? Rob Manford could be like, no, yeah,
you heard what Rob Manford said. He's the one that said,
I think the takeaway should be how they both conducted themselves.
He's not saying, yeah, let's do it.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
You just brought up a sore spots, saying Rob Manfred
because what about Oh, it's just a piece of metal.
Speaker 4 (33:19):
What about the cheating Astros?
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (33:21):
What about the Dodgers?
Speaker 3 (33:22):
That's why they don't want to touch I'm saying yeah,
And of course no Astro had any consequence because they
got immunity.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
Yeah, all right.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Well, hey your thoughts at kviin on Rich and we'll
go to Manzi for an update.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Manzi, any thoughts to you? Do you think they should
overturn this type of thing or na?
Speaker 6 (33:38):
I mean, yes, I want them to overturn that's that
particular game in that situation. But it does open up
a count of worms.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
That's I agree, Yes, why not overturn? It's very simple.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
Everybody knows and it's very black and white that a
mistake was made. But I don't think it's that simple
if you do overturn this one, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
But I think it back though it is heartbreaking, Oh
my god. With Rich.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
If I was him, I'd be like, absolutely overturn it
because it's about me.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
It's so for everybody here, Jim Joyce, for Colorago franchise.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
Fans, people would be mad about it.
Speaker 6 (34:13):
I think most people would be like, yeah, but it
does still open up a can of work.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
Well, what it does is it opens a lot of
people with their what about is what about again?
Speaker 5 (34:24):
Run off? Situation?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
You asked for a raise.
Speaker 2 (34:26):
And the boss like, well, none of the update anchors,
I don't care about Nick.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Is talk about me.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Do you think Jason Donald is going to be upset
if they overturn his hit of the Indians that.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Imagine, imagine got a bonus? Keep it both ways?
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Yeah, that's all it is.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
It just becomes, uh, okay, what else can we overturn?
So Brandon Aiyuk is trending, you guys, because some accounts
that have like a couple thousands of followers.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
Now, this is not it. This is not happening.
Speaker 6 (34:58):
Okay, because apparently wrap A and Pella Sero just said
on the NFL network that this is not a thing.
But there's these accounts with like thousands of followers that
are saying that the forty nine Ers and Steelers are
making a trade for Brandon Ayuk.
Speaker 5 (35:12):
But so people are like, is this true?
Speaker 6 (35:13):
Is this true?
Speaker 5 (35:14):
And everybody's going crazy with Brandon ayug right now. He
is trending.
Speaker 6 (35:17):
This is not happening, but people are talking about it.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Now.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
We know he requested a trade, so he hasn't participated
in practice, but he is at practice.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
He's in meetings, he's engaged.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yet not only is that practice, he's like bro hugging
John Lancham Kyle Shanahan, and everything looks.
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Like like dandy. Everyone's just we're just waiting for.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
It to you know, if you go to like forty
nine Ers fan pages, they're all like, it's just a
matter of time.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Don't worry.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
Exactly exactly.
Speaker 6 (35:42):
Another NFL News, Bengals head coach Zach Taylor an til
reporters at defensive end Cam Sample tore his achilles.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
He's out for this season.
Speaker 6 (35:49):
Rams wide receiver Puka Nakua is considered a week two
week after suffering a knee injury yesterday. The Rams are
off today. They're going to return to practice on Tuesday.
Let's go to the Olympics. Men's volley all just defeated
Brazil in the quarterfinals match in four sets to advance
to the semi finals. They're going to face Poland on Wednesday.
It was a final day for gymnastics. Simone Biles won
silver on the floor. Jordan Chiles won the bronze. That's
(36:11):
eleven total medals for Biles, tying her for second most
all time for a female gymnast. US Men's water polo
be Croatia. They're headed to the quarterfinals. Women's three on
three basketball defeated Canada. They won the bronze medal. L
And the big story in the NFL, My Bad Chiefs
star kicker Harrison Butker have agreed to a four year,
twenty five point six million dollar contract extension, making him
(36:32):
the highest paid kicker in the NFL.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Apparently he represented himself.
Speaker 2 (36:37):
Did Morgan Wallen? Was he rocking a Butcker jersey or
just to happen to have the same number? Now he
represented Butcker thought it was that was a little subliminal.
He went out there, Travis Kelcey and Morgan.
Speaker 1 (36:49):
Yeah, he knew what he was doing.
Speaker 5 (36:51):
Thank you, jeez.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Highest paid kicker logo. That all right, Well, so we
got more Covino and Rich Now Danny g coming up.
We are going to talk about your quarterback. This is
story Garner Minshew, and we got to decide is this
guy a psychopath or the type of dedicated.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Player you want on your team. We'll get to that.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
There's a story about Mahomes and a bunch more all
coming up cold, you know, a wretch on Fox Sports Radio.
All right, I hope you had a great weekend, Terrence
Crawford sort of weekend victorious. That whole card was great,
some good fights Olympics space bo think kind of he fought,
put up a hell of a fight. Terrence Crawford was
(37:29):
a major favorite, and that off Madreamov. My dream of
every announcer said is named different. My dream of was
we getting these big fights, man, these big events. Right now,
we're live from.

is Rich Davis, Danny g Iowa, Sam. We're all hanging out.
You can play along at home at Covino and Rich
(38:10):
and based on bad being better sometimes Rich And this
Armando Galarraga story, it is interesting how with new evidence
we could try to overturn a court case.
Speaker 1 (38:22):
But with baseball people.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Like no no evidence, but all the evidence he says
it was a perfect game.
Speaker 1 (38:30):
We don't care.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
But mom at university and the students who were perplexed
about this outcome. Are trying to make a change happen.
We have one more phone call about it. Think of
all the especially women love true crime, like the true
crime podcast World with Women, really really triggered these kids
to It was just supposed to be a little lesson,
(38:52):
and they ended up writing an eighty page paper to
the baseball commissioner about it. Well, think about it. You're right,
you made a great point. If in all their aspects
of life, if there's new evidence, they'll reopen a court case,
life changing case. But but for a baseball game, right, No, yeah,
but there's video evidence his foot touched the bag first.
Speaker 1 (39:09):
No, No, that's fresh ball.
Speaker 2 (39:12):
Nope, I can't do it, sorry, Armando Galarraga, No, can't
do no, can do Hey, Jim Joyce, you're really sorry
for it. Sorry, too bad. Doesn't matter, It doesn't matter
what you say. We have Dustin on the phone to
wrap it up. Hey Dustin and Illinois.
Speaker 1 (39:26):
Hey Dustin, Hey, I enjoy the show. Thank you man.
Speaker 12 (39:31):
Yeah, my point is a little bit about I give
it and it take it away. I understand the sentiment
with the perfect game and it's you know, last out
of the game. You know, it doesn't change anything in
baseball history. But like, if you go back and reopen that,
then you have to look at Johan Santana's no hitter
in twenty twelve. I believe if Scott Rowland hit the
hit the third base line with a line.
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Drive, it was actually Carlos Beltron.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
We ended up being a man. I always bring that up, yep,
But you know, I don't think you do because I
was mid game. This was so cut and dry, because
then you could be like, well, that might have changed
the course of the game. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
It was the last play of the game out perfect gamespecific. Hey,
you know, be the own judge. Like I said, it
ties into all the other stories of the silver line.
Might have been more memoriy that goes along with everything
we discussed. Would we still be talking about his perfect game?
No way, we do now hadn't that happened?
Speaker 1 (40:22):
No way?
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Jose, All right, question for you, because you're a big
fight fan. I did watch the Terrence Crawford fight over
the weekend. The whole card was great. Man is the
eminem concert, mostly in part because he is such a
fan of Bud Crawford. Two things, Yeah, he's a big
Bud Crawford guy, because if you remember, he brought Terrence
Crawford out to the ring.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
They're they're boys, they're boys.
Speaker 2 (40:44):
And remember the Excellency of events, Turkey whatever his name is.
Speaker 1 (40:53):
These guys have crazy money.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
So if they want Eminem to perform, they basically throw
so much money at these fighters to fight, performers to perform. Hell,
there were so many stars out there. I'm not surprised
as if they paid him to be there. So that's
why he's out there. Eminem put a full on concert
on this weekend at the fight.
Speaker 1 (41:12):
Would you would you do these six songs? It was great?
Would you do anything the Excellency wanted for money? I mean,
within reason? Yeah? Why not? What if he's like Kuvino?
Speaker 2 (41:23):
What if like some you know, it's like move to
move to Dubai and uh do a private podcast for
me every day and I'll triple what you make.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Turkey Ala Chic, I would say, how much money? Yeah? Okay,
yeah for a year? Why? Life changing money? Maybe? Well,
they're making these fights. That's the debate in itself. They're
making these fights happen, like you said, which is pretty awesome.
All right.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
Well, hey Gardner Minshew psychopath or ultimate dedicated player. We'll
explain exactly why he might be a psychopath to you
or awesome.
Speaker 1 (41:53):
