Speaker 1 (01:40):
WHOA explain? I'll explain. Someone tweet that out?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
WHOA? Why is Lebron James like the husband or wifey
that stopped.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Going to the gym? I'll explain. I'll explain. Dan Campbell,
what did you do?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
We'll talk about the lines a little bit and ooh
almost a rip down the oh.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
All extra basis that might be a base clearing.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Double wow as the Detroit Tigers go up five to two.
They won yesterday six outs away now from moving on. Wow,
that was a big hit. Not used to seeing the
Astros that they're back against the wall like this right
in the postseason. Got the hungry Tigers playing big right now.
And Mike runs this place said, Mike, by the way,

(02:27):
we were doing a stats he's the league leader in
shoutouts on this show. Mike runs Place said, I like
hunger Tigers. Every time Tiger the Astros go down, we
have to party here. We have to pop some bubbly
because he hates cheaters, so I'm down for a taco party.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
He must have loved that show in the two thousands Cheaters. Yeah,
that you do. But we'll talk about what did you do?
Dan Campbell? Why is Lebron like a lazy husband or wife?

Speaker 2 (02:52):
Is I'll meet you in the parking lot the equivalent
of ohmute the flagpole with three o'clock. There was a
little tussle with Jesse Winker and a damis on the Brewers.
So lots of fun, lots of excitement here on covinon
Rich today. We've got two games going on in the
background here. And where do you want to start? Do
you want to start with Tom Brady's biceps? I want

(03:14):
to talk about sir, flex a lot now tom Brady.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Is going viral. I can't say in the news. It's
not big news.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
Right, we just had debates, yesterday, had a major hurricane.
Tom Brady's in the news. News might not be accurate,
just kind of viral.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Right.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
He's there posing, or one could say flexing his boat,
and he's just straight up flexing. That's what they're saying.
There's a picture of Tom Brady. He's there in front
of his boat. He's got his guns out, just the
biceps out, and people are making fun of him, saying,
look at him trying to casually pretend like he's not
flexing right now. And because he does look like he's

(03:55):
pumped in that moment, you know, it brings up a
really hard hitting quies. I guess that before we get
into the NFL. I thought the boat was a sweet
flex enough, before we get into lebron, before we get
into the hard hitting sports of the day. It's really
a simple question. He's in front of his car in front,
Rich told me, in front of his boat. I'm like, well,
that's a flex and it stuck boat. It's part car,

(04:17):
part boat. Oh gotcha, No, it's a truck. It's a
you know what it is, though I only see I
did see the zoomed in version of that shot zoomed out.
He's just standing there in front of a pickup truck
and he's holding maybe it's a really heavy water bottle. Yeah,
that's probably maybe that's what it is. Sorry, because the
headline that I looked at quickly said Tom Brady shows

(04:39):
off his boat the best biceps of all time.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I'm the idiot. You're the idiot. I wrote that headline,
Rob Parker, theo boat shows all this boat pass of
both time. So my point is he's the load, the
luckiest of all time. So I give his biceps five booms.
Bom boom boom boo boom.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Stop at Costco. Boy, My question first is going in
or coming out? Because if he's going in, then it's impressive.
If he's coming out, he's got a pump.

Speaker 1 (05:10):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
The general gym in the gym. But let me ask
you this, this is nothing. This really is a real,
silly yet legitimate question. If you're especially on vacation at
the beach wearing a tank top summertime, and someone your
aunt or uncle to barbecue your wife with your kids.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Like, all right, we're taking a picture, say cheese.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Are you doing a little belly sucking and a bicep
little little flex or?

Speaker 1 (05:39):
Is that the latest thing everybody's doing? A sucking in?
Is that one of those things that wants does automatic? Yeah? Automatic?

Speaker 2 (05:46):
You know, if there's an older person trying to take
the picture, you find yourself sucking in and not breathing
for like thirty seconds.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
The problem we're sucking in is it has to go
somewhere else, and usually when I suck in, it goes
all the way to my chest. Yes, it just makes
man the biggest strong man. Yeah, yeah, that's so funny
to go somewhere.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
So the spot on there sucking part sucking in, that's
that's a given, right, you're sucking in the gut. But flexen,
I don't know, that's that's not automatic. Doing a quick
pump before you hit the beach, quick pump before you
hit the bedroom. Maybe quick pump. So you're telling the
world a thought Sports Radio Nation that you have done
bathroom push ups before you've been with a woman.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Yeah, I mean I think everybody had right. It's like
getting ready so that I.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Bro Damn Bayer, I believe he does a set of
push ups before every update to impress and squats.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Look at those clues he's recording hard hitting us. He's
actually do.

Speaker 2 (06:43):
The hand signal nicelues. I thought he gave us the indicator.
I thought he hit the nose to the ear. I
thought that I thought that he had something to say.
He's doing squat thrust. My bad, got it. He's too
busy for this. Not based on this Tom Brady thing. Again, Look,
Tom Brady does anything that goes toward a viral, people
are gonna question or wonder what he's up to. It
does look like he's flexing a little bit in this photo,

(07:04):
but it does pose the question of do you ever
flex when posing? Because I remember there was a picture
Rich was so proud of recently proud. Yeah, he was
holding his daughter up you know what're I'm talking about?
Spot right where Rich was like he's had a barbecue,
but he's holding his daughter. Yeah, and he made sure
like his arm was like zamn, there's no way you

(07:25):
would have not post that photo if you didn't have
a nice little flex going.

Speaker 3 (07:28):
You shifted all the weight of your daughter to that
one arm a just to really get the flext before
the picture.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
I've been trest my daughter ten times. Those are dad muscles.
You do it for the GRAM. I get it. I'm
not calling you out.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
I'm saying it's not that odd, and I don't think
Tom Brady was doing it. He's Tom Brady. Sounds ridiculous.
But in a world of social media, where everyone's a critic,
everyone's a hater, everyone's a troll, if you take an
unflattering photo you all you're doing is begging the world
of social media to mock you, make fun of you.
Even better, when it's someone else tagging you, it's like,

(08:03):
thanks for tagging me in the.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
Worst photo ever. I know this sounds like like children's antics.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
But it's not, because then you get buried from your
friends and everybody else.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
By the way, says the guy who chose the photo
of his family where he looked the best at Christmas
and his daughter looked horrible.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
That was a great This is classic story. Yeah, Danny
J Danny G we're talking. I believe it.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Was the year twenty twelve. Sounds about right. His daughter
might have been like three.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Cavino goes to the grove here in La Waits probably
an hour in line. Get the Santa Claus photo with
like the best Santa in town.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
It's like the iconic Santa of that. Everyone.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Yeah, everyone has to get their photo. He passed away recently,
was like this famous La Santa, one of Santa's helper's kids.
And Covino gets all the proofs back because you know, nowadays,
when you get your picture take with Santo or the
Easter Bunny, they it's all digital.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
They're like, hey, what's your email? Will send you the link.

Speaker 2 (08:59):
Coveno, I wanted to choose the picture where he looked
better and his daughter's like eyes were half closed, like
com it's not about you, he goes, Yeah, but the
one where she looks the best. I don't look great,
So just to show where affect her more or me
in that moment. Yeah, well anyway, true, Tom Brady, we

(09:20):
just thought that was funny because I know, I don't
know about your group of buddies, but if I see
one of my buddies flexing in a photo, you know
our group chat's gonna be making fun of that.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
Strategically, I do Jim flex photos. Yeah, you're the greatest
part photo.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
I know.

Speaker 2 (09:34):
Yeah, but after you know, after workout, you you put work.
Everybody does that unless you're hands in front.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
You put in work.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's your reward to show that you put a hard
put hard work in at the gym, and you.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
Want to show everybody every word. First, average photo.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
I'm not for random booty stopping, no, but in a
regular photo, like a group photo, like if we all
went out to dinner, like when we went to Danny
G's son's birthday party. I wasn't just standing there like
casually flexing my arms so it shows off.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
That's lame. I'll backspot you guys.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
Do that.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
If you're gonna flex like.

Speaker 2 (10:06):
Flex on purpose, right, yes, to do it like you're
pretending not to for the photo. That's that's week that
is weak and that's what they're claiming Brady did in
this moment.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Guy just came from the gym. Hey Tom, Hey Tom,
how's your workout?

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Snapstapsnaps down over there?

Speaker 1 (10:24):
Hey TMZ have a great.

Speaker 2 (10:28):
As he flexed, and hey, you know what the truth is,
he's been bragging a lot about how he's more ripped
or just as good as shape as he's ever been.

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Tom.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Brady's still in good shape, man, So give him problem.
It has to be as a fitness brand, Yeah, well,
it's working. He looks good Man twelve. He's ripped, but
I don't think, for the record, I don't think he's
doing what he's being accused of in this photo. There's
two layers to the question, and then we'll take your feedback.
Move on, talk a little Lebron, talk a little NFL,
and some wildcard baseball. The two part question, when someone

(11:00):
takes a photo, especially if you're at the beach, the
lake somewhere, if your shirt's off, there's no shame. Is
it fair to say every guy sucking in his belly
and doing a little bit of a little.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Flex, right, And it's equally fair.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Part too, the question is if you catch your buddy
doing it full rain to make fun of him?

Speaker 1 (11:18):
Yes, okay, so was wee r grand al it?

Speaker 2 (11:20):
You do it, but you agree that if it's obvious,
your buddies can bust your chops. Yeah, yeah, okay, cool,
I won the same page. All right, there you go,
Tom Brady flex in front of the trunk. It's gone viral.
We broke it down. You said something earlier that I've
admitted to before, but I don't know if I've ever
heard you talk about it. Uh oh, maybe it was
meant for off the air Rich in my twenties, when

(11:43):
I was a single guy twenties, early thirties, you know,
back back in the day, back when you have that
full hairline.

Speaker 1 (11:47):
I remember, get that hell with his hair is better
than ever.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
I will admit I'm mad enough to admit I have
dipped into the bathroom and did a quick ten push
ups before a new woman saw me shirtless for the
first time. Oh yeah, I thought every honestly, honest to God,
back in my hey day, let's say, back in the day,
which was a Wednesday, I thought that was industry standard.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I really did.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Apparently it's just for vain jerks like yeah, because when
we brought that up, Rich and I justified a lot
of stupid behavior because I'm like, yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I do that. Oh you do that to everybody, must
do that. It gets a blood flowing in your arm.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
I was saying, if you were to be intimate with
a woman for the first time, and you're like, I'm
gonna use the bathroom, is it crazy.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
To think that you would do ten quick push ups?
You said for the first time that you mean for
the first time in his life, the first time I
have done that before I have.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
I've worn like a tight shirt on a date and
I've done like fifty push ups before going out and
then like it's still the shirt. Wells a T shirt.
It's definitely with all the pineapples on it. It was from
like a structure Men's Express, stretchy pineapples on it.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, down pineapples.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
I was saying, put it out, but no, it really
does help and and your confidence as well.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
There's also the bouncer pose, as I call it. I'm
doing it right now, which is like if you want
to try to look buff, but you don't lift you,
they kind of push your biceps out with your hands underneath.
I was like, yeah, and you kind of push it
out and you you look you don't have a gut
it all, and then your shoulders look huge.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
That's it. Yeah, that's can pose.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
So Tom Brady flexing or not, and you decide you
can make fun of us all you want at Covin
on Rich. But every woman on planet Earth has a
million tricks that they do. Made angles and pose. Angles,
poses makeup everything on guard. Yeah, and all we're talking
about is a dude flexing in a photo relax.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Lebron James is in the news.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
It was Monday actually from media day, Lakers Media Day,
and he said some controversial things. I took two things
away from this rich that sort of rubbed me the
wrong way.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
What's that? Well?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
He said again, he was asked, hey, king Lebron, you
got anything left to prove?

Speaker 1 (14:06):
And here's what he said, there's anything left to accomplish.
I mean he pretty much checked all the boxes there
for me.

Speaker 5 (14:13):
Accomplished as the basketball, it's off the court.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Everything else. Next you cry, I'll take it. I'll take it.

Speaker 6 (14:22):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I'll know what I do. I got everything now.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
My immediate thought process was does Lebron James have anything
left to prove?

Speaker 1 (14:32):
Right? I'm like, well, as a Laker, he does.

Speaker 2 (14:36):
As a basketball player, no, But as a Laker, I'm thinking, yeah, yeah,
he won one in the bubble and all that. How
many people are quick to dump on that accomplishment though,
like that bubble doesn't count. I personally think it does. Yeah,
I personally personally think it does. But just to shut
up the naysayers and the haters, and to do it again,

(14:56):
I mean, you are Lebron James. You gotta another one, right,
Just get an other one? Is shut everybody up. To me,
that's something to prove one that the bubble wasn't a fluke,
that you won with the Lakers again, you know, solidify
your legacy.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
To me, there's something to prove there.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
But then Danny g as the resident Lakers fan, He's like, yeah,
but as a fan, I just don't even want to
hear that.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
Would you like to Yeah, well, ask a young teammate
with Lebron would you like to hear or see that quote?
I don't think so, because you want to win one yourself,
and you want Lebron to be motivated as motivated as
you are to get that chip. So I don't want
to hear Lebron say everything else is extra credit that
I do right now. I want him to say, I'm

(15:39):
still hungry as if I had never won a championship before.
And I know some people still don't have me up
there with Michael. To be up there with Michael, I
need to win another one at least.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
Yes, and then that's more to prove. And as a fan,
you're like, Yo, where's that fired?

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Dude?

Speaker 7 (15:54):
What do you mean?

Speaker 2 (15:55):
We live in a world of comparisons, and the first
thing people will think that's of Kobe or Jordan, like
or Brady recently when he was talking about how winning
Rings was fun to him. Yeah, Tom Brady got all
snippy when Baker Mayfield insinuated he wasn't fun. Remember if
he wanted to have fun, he take his kids to Disneyland.
Winning was fun. So so that's sort of the fire
you would want from an aging veteran on your team

(16:17):
who still got game and who's also entering a season
with his son with a lot to prove there. And
that was something that people noticed that Bronni not media
trained yet. He was sort of boring and monotone and
his answers. My dad would be like, yo, Bronnie, let's yo, Hey,
get this kid of coffee, get him a Pumpkins fikey.

Speaker 7 (16:33):
Lebron busted his chops and loosened him up for the
recordings he was doing for media.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
Now are we overly dissecting that? Hey maybe a little bit,
but it's Lebron James again. They asked him, do you
have anything left to prove? He says no, everything else
is extra credit, insinuating nothing left to prove. I have
to disagree, and as a fan or teammate, that's a
really good angle. Danny g as a teammate. I'm young,

(17:00):
hungry kid that wants to win. He's thinking, I'm playing
with Lebron. This is great. I got a chance. You
want to hear from the leader of the team, like, no,
everything else is icing on the cake. That's the cake
for everybody else. I look at it this way. I
don't like it, I said before the show as the
show began. And by the way, not a Lebron hater
for the record, like I get excited to watch Lebron,

(17:22):
so not hating, just stating I don't like that quote
at all. Well, you know what, before I give you
my Lebron analogy, you see what just happened, Dan Bayer.

Speaker 1 (17:32):
Breaking news. Let's go, Oh, they just played the update.
Bad breaking news? No breaking news. Yeah, there we go.
Breaking ice from Fox Sport.

Speaker 8 (17:44):
The Detroit Tigers have eliminated of the Houston Astros in
the American League Wild Card Series series, winning today's Game
two by a score of five to two. Next up
for Detroit a date with the Cleveland Guardians in the
American League Divisionals Series reas that begins Saturday afternoon in Cleveland.
Tiger's winners today, five to two. Astro season is over, Yo,

(18:08):
Dan Bayer, Fox Sports Radio Nations.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Oh, I just interpreted that. Sam didn't think that was
breaking news.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
It's the bottom of the hour. I just heard he
going to Dan and he was gonna give us that
need of that. That makes sense.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Don't you feel like Tigers fans have to feel a
little bit like is this real light?

Speaker 1 (18:26):
Like David at the dentist on a way back Wednesday?
Is this real life?

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Because just like how your Mets made it like easy
work yesterday, I feel like the Tigers made easy work
of the Astros in the postseason. Fans got to be
pumped about that. That's pretty great. So let me ask
you there. Itroves again what we discussed and debated. Momentum
for these young, hungry teams means so much.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
In the post. Let me ask you there, mister.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Pinstripe panties, mister October, mister Pinstripe Toony's.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
Yeah. With that said, do you want the Royals or Baltimore?

Speaker 2 (18:59):
Oriole Being that the Yankees and now sitting by watching
this series knowing that they'll face either the Kansas City
Royals or the O's, have you fared against the O's
this year. I don't know, man, I don't know the
exact record. I should, but that's a good question. I
think uh. I think familiarity wins here. I'd rather face
the Orioles. Too many question marks when facing the Royals. Yeah,

(19:23):
I think the Yankees know what the Orioles bring.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
Orioles were eight and five against the Yankees this season.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
Try saying Orioles and Royals, Orioles and Royals, oriolest Life Royal.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Louisville.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
So let's get back to Lebron. We'll keep you posting
on baseball, just so you know. In the postseason. So far,
this is now going on. If the if Seth Lugo
could retire the side here, yeah, this will be twelve
straight scoreless innings for the Orioles and the postseason. The
Oriols got blank yesterday and it's the bottom of the

(20:03):
third and Seth Lugo dealing with his little stutter step
wind up. And I didn't care much about the record,
to be honest, Sam, between the Ools and the Yankees,
because the Orioles were so cold at the end of
the season, they made it easy for the Yankees to
win the Al East. Every time the Yankees lost, they lost.
They were just slumping hard. So you know, I think
the Royals are catching them at the right time. But

(20:25):
we'll keep you posted two and.

Speaker 1 (20:27):
Five against the Yankees against the Yanks, all right, we'll
see what happens. But back to Lebron.

Speaker 7 (20:32):
We were talking about his teammates being hungry speaking to
hungry Tigers.

Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, Lebron James saying that he has nothing left to prove.
Everything else is extra credit is such a weak answer.
And he said it playfully. You know, he's having funnest
media day. But fans do not want to hear that.
Teammates do not want to hear that. And again, I

(20:57):
think he does have a lot to prove. Well, I
said before I would let you know, why is Lebron
James like a fat out of shape I felt like
ravishing Ricorod right now, you fat out of shape punks
of Tony peons. Why why is Lebron like the fat,
balding husband or the lazy wife. Because what happens is

(21:20):
you go into a relationship, a partnership, a contract with
the team. If you show signs of well, I'm not
putting the same effort anymore.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Or I lost that hunger. I've always said that I
always want.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
My wife to want me because she wants me, not
because like, well he's my husband. There's some sort of obligation. Yeah,
that's that's you know, what's your birthday? Yeah, look at
it like this. People that go into a marriage. Nothing
bothers me more when I hear a guy call his
wife his old lady and my old lady the ball
and chain, or when the guy says something like yeah,

(21:59):
I don't buy new clothes or care about my haircut
or go to the gym.

Speaker 1 (22:03):
I'm married for what for what? My wife?

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Yeah, to your wife, I'm wearing the same silver tabs
I wore ninety four.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Like, hey, maybe he should get a new pair.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
Yeah, I still got the same Carpenter jeans from nineteen
ninety nine.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Well, guess what, the Bob Vila's are out of style.

Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, you know what I mean, unless you're Karen Carpenter
or Jesus he was a Carpent direct, right, you shouldn't
be wearing Carpenter pants. It's a bad it's a bad attitude.
That's what rich is getting at. Yeah, but if you
want to have the same fire, the same flame, or
at least give the perception that that you do. You
don't want to work with someone that says, well, if
I stay later, it's not like I'm getting paid more.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Bye. Like that's like the lazy s cutoral.

Speaker 2 (22:42):
It's it is like the husband or wife that says, well,
I don't need to shave my legs. It's winter and
I'm married with a guy that's you know, guzzling beers
watching football, saying, eh, who cares, old lady?

Speaker 1 (22:54):
What is she gonna do? Leave me?

Speaker 2 (22:55):
So Rich is saying, like, you start getting lazy, You're
not putting in the same effort. I'm not saying Lebron
is the equivalent of a fat, lazy husband or Rice Lebron,
but he's that quote is equivalent.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
I don't like the quote, but I feel like his
actions show different because if you did watch Team USA,
of course, Lebron looked like a twenty year younger version
of himself. So Lebron on the court, you can never
deny what he brings. And how about this is that
I just like it. I just like it as a message?
Could he know I want him to look like the guy?
How about this though? How about if He's like, hey,
do you have anything else to prove? Yeah, that me

(23:26):
and my son, me and Bronny could win together. And
we have a great team behind us, and we want
to win as a team. And nothing would mean more
than for me to win.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
With my son.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Man, that's what you say. I'm not media trained, I'm
not Lebron.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
No, I'm good. We mean you're good. Now.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
Everything else is icing on the cake. No, it's not
not for everybody else, not for the fans.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (23:48):
I don't like it, and I agree with Richel Rich
his actions do prove otherwise, so he gets to pass.
I'm talking about the quote. I don't want to hear
that actions speak louder than words. Think of a legend, right,
Dan Patrick. Patrick is a few years away from hanging
it up. You could almost argue that lebron and Dan
Patrick are on the same trajectory legends a year or
so away from saying farewell. Right, what if Dan Patrick's

(24:12):
like I accomplished everything I needed to do. Man, on
the you know, like, yeah, I got nothing to prove.

Speaker 1 (24:19):
He's just mailing it in now, but he's not.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
His action showed that that show is still not Lebron's
game is still top notch. So do the words matter?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I think they do. They matter.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Look, Danny G's like, I don't think I like hearing that,
And I at first I thought my thought process and
I just was reading the headlines, and then I heard
the quote. I was like, yeah, I think he does
have something to prove his sons on the team this year.
The Bubble thing is always speculated on the Bubble Championship.
He's always compared to Jordan while he's still playing. But
among while he's still playing, he still has something to

(24:51):
prove among his peers. If you've noticed the most respected
love guy. Look at Team USA. What was the sentiment
Danny ge or on Team USA players that had never
played until Bron. Weren't they saying, this guy in practice
plays like a twenty year old.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, Like the sentiment.

Speaker 2 (25:07):
Is, well, he's still Lebron. It's almost it's almost crazy.
People like how does he have this much left in
the tank and he's you know.

Speaker 7 (25:13):
Yeah, you know his teammates remember what the coaches were saying,
They're like, this guy is just not from this planet.

Speaker 2 (25:19):
Remember we talked about optics though, If anything were to
happen this year and he's slipping a little bit and
he's playing bad.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
It'll come back to things like that. Well, he did
tell you that. Yeah, he wasn't taking it serious, you
know since the media day. I remember that media day.

Speaker 2 (25:33):
He just sort of just want Then it'll turn into
the narrative like he just wanted to stick around to
play one year with his son. His heart's really not
in it. If that attitude continues, interesting, that'll be the narrative. Now, Well,
your thoughts at Covino and rich and eight seven seven.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Ninety nine on the Fox side. Uh, let's go to
Dan buy for an update. What's up, dB, guys.

Speaker 8 (25:55):
We did have the breaking news a little while ago
as the Tigers have advanced to the American League Divisional
Series and this is how they did it on the
Tigers Radio Network round.

Speaker 6 (26:04):
Ball shot for a second, Keith full charge Field and
Cliff Tigers win.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
They're moving on.

Speaker 6 (26:11):
They win three to one in Game one and shut
down the astros powerful offense, a four run rally in
Game two and a five to win. Oh my goodness,
the Tigers are aheaded to Cleveland.

Speaker 1 (26:24):
Yes they are.

Speaker 8 (26:24):
Well, they'll play Game one against the Guardians coming up
on Saturday.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
One of the goats, right, the goat of this generation.
I'm not a Lebron hater at all, but how about this.
He's gonna be forty in December. Yo, at forty years old.
By the way, you have the weakest goats. Goat that
was weaker.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
I'm sorry, guys, I didn't know we were having a
goat off. Leave the side of things. Boys, I always
say him does a great goat.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
That's great. Yeah, now stick to your boats. How about this,
You're thirty nine. Right, we know you still got game,
but how about inspiration for all the older guys out
there that at forty Hey, I just look, man, I've
done it all, but I'm gonna be forty. I'm playing
with my son. I want to show everybody that you
still got it. I still got it at forty years

(28:01):
old in the NBA, and I want to win with
my kid. There's so many things he could have said
that Nah, everything else, extra credit, get out of here.
I think he's got plenty to prove, and I wish
him all the best. I do, I do, Yeah, I listen.
It's a fun story. But watching him for Team USA

(28:22):
did make me realize whatever he says doesn't matter because
he still got it on the court. I just you
want Lebron not to have because it almost comes across
as arrogant, like I got nothing else to prove. Like
I wish he spoke with a little more. Hey, I
wouldn't want to win with a guy that thought that way.
You know, we tie things back to a relatable place.

(28:42):
You want to work with a guy that feels that way?
No way, If I tell Cavino, I'm happy with the
way the show lose I want bigger things. I want
to no nothing else to prove. That sounds a little
content just because you wanted to me and the other
guys have.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
So there it is. That's the update. That's our take.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
You make the call at Covino and Rich at Fox
Sports Radio. All right, I got a question, quick, quickie
for Danny G because he's out here in LA. He's
a big Dodgers fan. Du we live out here in
Los Angeles, but we're from the East Coast Cavino Yankees.
As you know, Rich Davis, woman Mets fan.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I'm one of those East Coast Vatos. You're the only
Mexican dude in New York.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I was every Latinos friends with all Puerto Rican or
Dominican Caminos.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
Are a Mexican. I'm like what growing up on the
East Coast?

Speaker 2 (29:26):
Right again, eighties kid saying I was Mexican, half Mexican,
half Italian. For the most part, saying I was Mexicano,
I might as well have told Pia's from Mars because
there was no Mexicans around. It's not it's true true story.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
Now here in LA. I'm not Mexican enough.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
You're you're not Mexican enough for the Vatos, and you're
not a Vato enough for the You're not wet enough
of the Grengos. And Rich on the other hand, he
may be white on the outside, but he's brown on
the inside.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
The bone Cavino.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
Maybe watch Blood and Blood if we were going to
be friends two of them anyway. I asked Danny g
because he's a Dodgers fan out here in LA which
they are a ton of Dawyers fans. Say, you guys
are perpetually in the playoffs every year.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
It's like, you know, there's a few guarantees not.

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Out. One of them is the Dodgers will make the postseason.
That's like one of those facts, right. It's like in
the two thousand and late nineties, like the Patriots will
win the you know, the Afseast.

Speaker 7 (30:26):
I think, I know what you're going to say next,
but then they fall on their face sometimes in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
Yeah, but I'm I'm gonna rub that in at all.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
I was more gonna ask you because it's a commonplace
thing for you guys to be in the divisional be
in the NLCS. Do you have a desire to go
to the games instead of like a Detroit Tigers fan
who it's like, Oh, we haven't been to the postseason
in a decade. Do you have an urge? I mean,
I just feel like when teams aren't there a lot,

(30:54):
there's that you know.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
We gotta go.

Speaker 2 (30:56):
It's also an age thing, That's what I think. You
ask twenty something year old of me if I want
to go to a Yankees playoff game and the victory parade,
I'm like, hell, yeah, you know.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Rock in my jersey. I'm yeah, of course. Is he
get older? Yellow lazy? It's forty something year old. Do
you want to sit on your ass? Yeah? You're like, yeah,
you know the sea, the view from the TV is great,
that Danny.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
It's not like I'm offering you tickets or anything. I'm
just saying like, do you have a desire to go
to the playoffs or are you like, man, maybe you have?
They made the World Series.

Speaker 7 (31:25):
I'm just going to say that I think at the
age i'm at in how comfortable I am with the
flat street in.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
My living room?

Speaker 7 (31:31):
Yeah, yeah that I would go to a World Series
game for sure.

Speaker 1 (31:35):
And I have a newborn.

Speaker 7 (31:37):
When's newborn? He's toed now, he's a toddler. He's about
to be fourteen months old.

Speaker 1 (31:42):
He's got a mustache. He'll be fourteen. How is the
man of the house. He's growing up. Man, he has full,
full on sideburns. So is that a Is that a fair?
I think it's fair? Is that a fair?

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Uh? You know what it is like? Certain people need
a nudge. I'm not saying I wait and go. I
would need a little more of a nudge than I
would have back in the day. But I'm saying when
the Yankees were going to the World Series, which seemed
like every year in the two thousands, You know, if
you're a Patriots fan and every year without fail, if
worst case scenario, you made it to the AFC Championship,
like Dan Byer when the Seahawks made it to the

(32:18):
Super Bowl back.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
To back years. Part between you gotta go.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
You grew up with Steve Largent days and yeah, you
I'm guessing you found a way to get into those
games media pass or something.

Speaker 1 (32:28):
Sure it.

Speaker 8 (32:29):
I mean there was a lot of miserable times, but
you still cherished the Super Bowls.

Speaker 2 (32:34):
Yeah, I feel like you have to go if your
team is never really there. But hey, your thoughts at
Kobino Rich we got more next. I want to bring
something up before we get to Dan Campbell and some
NFL and we'll talk some hustle. You know what Today
is the anniversary of bring it in.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Today. In nineteen seventy.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Seven, the high five was invented, Yeah, Dusty Baker. Maybe
the day at Dodger Stating where Dusty Baker hit a
home run when he was rounding third base. Glenn Burke
put up his hand and Dusty was thinking, what the
hell is this guy wotan to do? He obliged slapped
his hand, inventing the high five on this day in

(33:17):
nineteen seventy seven. It's so wild to wrap your head
around because most people just thought it always exists, it
existed prior to this, But they say, no, this is
when it happened. So I'm thinking, you mean to tell
me in the caveman days, you know, after a nice sun,
there was never never never.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
Ever, Oh good buffalo, good buffalo.

Speaker 2 (33:40):
George Washington made a great speech. Abe Lincoln, he walks
off the stage, never never scoring seven years. It was
a tall guy, give it up, bro, retall me in history.
It never happened, That's what they say. You know, it
was never a thing. And you know, Glenn Burke is
also known as one of the one of the gay

(34:00):
ballplayers that never came out right, but everybody knew he
was gay.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
I had a dream, Gail high five. High five. I
had a dream. That's good. So that's a crazy story.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
But nineteen seventy seven Dodgers they invented and then it
became a thing. They popularized it, and then it caught
the world by storm, I guess, and the high five
was born.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
I'm being serious, but it's hard to believe I'm being serious.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yeah, when I asked this question, close your eyes unless
you're driving, Like I always say, what did people do
other than like an old nerdy guy like, hey, how
do you do handshake? Because the fist bump wasn't even
a thing boxing. You could argue people with tap gloves,
but what was everyone still doing the old like.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, wait to hit a home run? Here? Put her there?
Like what what did on the back go? Yeah, I
mean smack air. People just cla behind clapped, yeah, Hank, Aaron,
wait to go hammer and Hank? Yeah put it that pal.

Speaker 2 (34:57):
Like, I don't know, because high five led the way
to the fist bump, to the when you dap someone
up to the bro hug to all these things. When
was the low five invented? Yeah, none of it, No,
you know, no, no high fives. I would imagine soon
after I pictured the low five being a guy rounding
third base and giving the third base coach a little.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Like a low five, right, Yeah, then the third base
coach goes like this, he swings his arm around.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Yeah, he does the whole like ricochet thing.

Speaker 7 (35:24):
So, yeah, Rich, I looked it up right now and
it says the low five has been around since the
nineteen twenties.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
Oh yeah, but the high the high high had never
been fifty years.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, that's crazy.

Speaker 2 (35:35):
Another fifty years for someone to say, you know what,
bring it up high? The low five invented by Teddy Roosevelt.
And here's the fun fact, Rich and I invented the
chest bump in nearly two thousands. True. Yeah, we had
we had one good show and we just brought it
in and it never really caught on the way the
high five did. Who invented the when NBA players do

(35:57):
the what would even call where they do the jump
and they bump shoulders steal like that.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Yeah, no, I know, I don't know that's a good one.
Who is that is that?

Speaker 2 (36:03):
Does that date back to maybe like I don't know,
fucking Alan Houston or like some two thousands player. I'm thinking,
when was the first time you saw when was the
first time you saw NBA players specifically do the jump
up and you like almost like tap shoulders. I'm sure
someone gets credit for that. I don't know who, but props,
who do you get? Trustee Baker and Glenn Burke? If

(36:23):
you look it up, it's a thing. And I believe
ESPN did like a short thirty for thirty short or
something on it, Like, we're not just making that up.
It's recognized as the moment it was invented this and
then popular And you could argue like, well, I mean
was that proven proven enough? Like you said that they
did a thirty for thirty short on it. So there
you have it. Congratulations, give somebody a high five in tribute.

(36:47):
Do you think someone brings that I'm being serious. Do
you think someone brings that up to Dusty Baker at
least once a week or not at all?

Speaker 5 (36:53):
Five?

Speaker 2 (36:54):
I don't think it's common knowledge, yo, But I mean
Dusty Baker's been a you know, a loved man in
the world of baseball for generations. Do you say you
and I grew up sports fans giving high fives? I
don't think we learned this fun fact until at least
five years ago, maybe five to six. Yeah, But I
wonder if that's one of those things where maybe once
a month someone's like Dusty big Er, I didn't know
you invented the high five?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Or is it?

Speaker 2 (37:16):
I bet you there's people listening to our show right
now that they learned it today.

Speaker 1 (37:22):
I don't doubt that at all.

Speaker 2 (37:24):
So Hey, happy anniversary on this day the high five
and rich you asked about, you know, if Danny's Dodgers
were going to go into the next round of the playoffs,
does he automatically go or does he bow out and
wait for the World Series of what's the mindset there?
I said, it depends on how old you are, right

(37:45):
your obligations. If you're a young dude, your team's in it,
why not go, right, You're just built for that. But
something we didn't bring up or really didn't drive home.
If your team hasn't been in it forever, then you
almost gotta go. As a sport, like for me, I
was a Yankee I was a spoiled fan. Yeah, in
ninety six when they actually ninety five, when they made

(38:06):
the playoffs with Manningly, I was like, yeah, I'm there.
In ninety six when they went further, Yo, I'm there
because that was the first time for me, right, I
mean anyone in the early eighties, but I was a
little kid.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
What do I know, right, So I had to go.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
But then I got spoiled in the late nineties early
two thousands, where I wasn't going every series. So I
also think that's a major part of it. Are you
a spoiled fan or has your team not been there forever?
Then you almost have to go and represent part of
why there's certain fan bases that are hated. In the
nineties two thousands, Yankee fans would say something arrogant like this,
Dan Bayer, Danny g you were you know, luckily did

(38:44):
not have to deal with this based on where you lived.
Yankee fans would say things like this, and you'd want
to choke them. You'd be like, yo, yo, you watch
them today, where are you watching the game? You're gonna
try to go and they would say things like, oh,
I don't even start paying attention into the ALCS.

Speaker 1 (38:58):
That is true. Now the most you're you're in the
divisional round. Then they'll be like, yeah, yeah, call me
what it's the World Series? Ye what they say?

Speaker 2 (39:08):
No, why you know why I buy my jerseys oversized
so I could wear a sweatshirt underneath.

Speaker 1 (39:14):
The October said that to me, so funny.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
It's true, man, So I think that's a major part
of it. Look in my forties, yeah, I still want
to go, of course, but I'm not.

Speaker 1 (39:32):
As eager beaver gotta be there.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
No, because you know what, the view from your sweet
one hundred inches whatever nowadays is pretty dope.

Speaker 8 (39:43):
We were tight on time. And you asked about the Seahawks,
and the thing that I was going to say was,
so I remember growing up. In nineteen eighty three, the
Seahawks lost to Danny's Raiders in the AFC Championship Game.
They had upset the the Dolphins the year the week
before in the divisional playoff, and it was all a
big deal. And it was from that time until they

(40:05):
beat the Panthers in two thousand and five that they
hadn't been in a conference championship game. So going to
the Super Bowl in Super Bowl forty was a huge accomplishment.
Then they get screwed, and so at the end of it,
you're like, nah, well we should have won. But like,
going into it, I can't say that I thought they
had a chance to win, but them not winning at
the you know, thinking about it, it was like, well, hey,

(40:27):
at least we made it to a Super Bowl. And
then when the Seahawks won against the Broncos, it was
such a butt kicking that it was a weird feeling
for the third time against the Patriots because you knew
that you were a yard away from winning it. That
was the one that actually hurt the most for obvious reasons.
But it was a chance to go back to back. Yeah,
And so like even if you're talking about like that accomplishment,

(40:50):
you're like, gosh, now you're putting two seasons together. You know,
that hasn't happened in a while since Denver did it.
That was the one as a Seahawks fan that, aside
from how I ended at the one yard line, you're
also talking about a back to back Super Bowl season
where I'm you know, the Yankees winning titles, like.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Oh yeah, we'll just go back to back to back.
Do what we gotta do. But again now was a moment.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Yeah, And I think the takeaway too here Rich is like,
don't take it for grantedy because well they tell they
say this to the players all the time. Take it
in because you don't know when you're gonna go or
if you're ever going I'll lock Hill.

Speaker 1 (41:19):
Ripken exactly right, So don't take it for granted.

Speaker 2 (41:21):
You got to you got to Also, like I said,
I think the other takeaway, like dB and Danny and
everyone agreed, how often is your team there? I'll admit
I'm a little spoiled with the Niners. Now I'll try I'll,
you know, if they make a deep playoff run, I
may try to go. You know, if I have accessed
via Fox Sports, I'll, you know, try to get myself

(41:42):
into the super Bowl if they make it. I've done it.
But they were bad for a while, you know. Oh,
home run Orioles they've got on the board. Look at that.
I think they tied it up, right, cied it up.
Cedric Mullins. Cedric Mullins won one game in Baltimore, getting
BALTI where they're going wild as we speak.

Speaker 1 (42:02):
Yeah, I saw that.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
Yeah, it's your chance as a fan to represent put
on the colors, go there and support. What I was
saying was when the Niners were good for the first
time in over a decade or so, and I actually
was an adult with money. I'm talking to Kaepernick, Jim
Harball days when they made the playoffs, then it had
been a minute since they were good. I went to
Atlanta for the NFC Championship game. I went to the

(42:22):
Super Bowl, like, I know when it's gonna happen. I
was like, when my wife said to me the other day,
she goes, so, I guess you'll be going in New
York soon ago Why she goes, I'm assuming if the
Mets advance at some point, you will go.

Speaker 1 (42:34):
And I'm like, yeah, you know what. I'm like, Hey,
you know, why would I not.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Actually let me put myself in that situation real quick.
I wasn't at the World Series in two thousand and nine.
That's when I became a dad. So I was actually
at the hospital. We talked about that, it's been a
long time. If the Yankees make it, I'm going back
to New York. Yeah, because when is it gonna happen again?
I don't know, I'm gonna go. They you always had
to keep that in mine.

Speaker 1 (42:58):
That's the message here. We can move on.

Speaker 2 (42:59):
Yeah, don't take for granted even if your team is
going through a little bit of a run where you
know it's essential for me is not that long.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
But hey, you know it's been a while. I'll go
it's been a while.

Speaker 2 (43:10):
I thought about when I went to the World Series
with my buddies and you would make fun of me
because the guy my old high school pals we all reunited.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Do you realize what year that was? Fifteen nine years ago?
I remember that like that does not you know? Time?

Speaker 2 (43:25):
Time is moving, all right? So hey, don't you know,
if your team makes a big game and you have
the resources and your family and wife and kids, if
it makes sense for you, don't.

late nineties and I had a friend from Manchester, New Hampshire,
and I would always done him. What's the difference between
the Yankees. You can actually buy a hot dog at
Yankee Stadium in October.

Yeah, it's a good one. That's a good one. But
that changed in four So thank you, buddy for the
phone call. Thank you, Terry Comedy writers, Yes to the show. Yeah,
thank you man, thank you. You know, my mom fell
for a meme last year. I have to make fun
of my mom for a second. Who By the way,
you know, my mom is very excited to meet you,
Danny G because you're both Raiders fans.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Yeah. Oh, and I have a gym Plunkett bubblehead for
your mom, and you both have you both have mustaches.

Speaker 7 (45:03):
This past weekend they gave away some Plunket bibbleheads and
I texted Rich and I'm like, got this for your mom.

Speaker 6 (45:09):
Man.

Speaker 1 (45:09):
She named Rich's brother after Plunket Hardcore.

Speaker 2 (45:14):
She's such like a MAT's Raiders wrestling like w W.
My mom says, she's a boy mom. So you know, so,
my mom, we all have the same sports teams except football.
For some reason, everyone in my family went in a
different direction. My brother loves the Broncos, my mom loves
the Raiders. I love the Niners. Long story short is
that my mom is coming here for Thanksgiving out to

l A. She's like, can I meet and hang with Danny.

She's like, oh, I got all this pressure on. Yeah,
so you better not let her down my mom. I
was gonna say, my mom fell for a meme. Do
your parents fall for things they see on social media
all the time. There was a joke when the Yankees
got eliminated from the playoffs that they turned Yankee stadium
into a big spirit Halloween.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (46:00):
I love that, and that's a common by the way,
if you don't live that social media life anytime a
team is eliminated or eliminated unexpectedly or whatever. Yeah, they
turned the stadium into a spirit Halloween.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
My mom's my mom.

Speaker 2 (46:13):
Picked me up with for real and she goes, Ritchie,
can you believe they turned Yankee Stadium into a Halloween shop.

Speaker 4 (46:19):

Speaker 1 (50:44):
All right around the Bay area? Yo, Draymond? What's up?

Speaker 5 (50:47):
All right?

Speaker 1 (50:47):
Fucus Steph Curry. This is why I never get to
any of my stories.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
All right, let's see, we'll start in baseball. Seems like
everyone has waited on Pete Rose's absence from the Hall
of Fame since his passing on Monday, and that now
includes former President Donald Trump.

Speaker 1 (51:05):
This is interesting.

Speaker 3 (51:06):
In the middle of the vice presidential debate last night,
he chose to take a break from watching and tweet
this out, post this out saying, the great, the Great
Pete Rose just died. He was one of the most
magnificent players to ever play the game. He paid the price.
Major League Baseball should have allowed him it to the
Hall of Fame many years ago.

Speaker 1 (51:27):
Do it now?

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Before his funeral, so demanding that they put him in
the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 1 (51:32):
Weighing in on it Midweeker, Major, Major all the way. Major.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Any Pete Rose story right now is major to me.
I thought it was unjust how it was handled. And
first of all, Donald Trump did that while the VP
debates were all yes, that's major in itself.

Speaker 1 (51:47):
I did not know that part of the story.

Speaker 2 (51:49):
But I love his little caveat because what were we
saying for years, right the Fox Sports Radio nation, get
him in the hall before he dies. Well too late
for that, unfortunately, Right. So I think it's kind of
cool that Trump found a little angle where you.

Speaker 1 (52:02):
Could still make it right.

Speaker 2 (52:04):
Maybe no, get him in the hall before they bury
him before the funeral, Like he's given him one more
little chance that I didn't even think about. He probably
was sitting there watching debate and he's like, I got it,
pay for it. They still have a chance. So I
do find it major. I think there's something to think about.
This debate's to cordial. Let me go and post about
Pete Rose.

Speaker 1 (52:24):
Let me rather everybody. Yet I want to say this
is major. Great job. JD. Holdney, no fun. I'm bird,
I'm bird. You guys are being too polite. So I
think it's major.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
And you know, one commonality between Pete Rose and Donald
Trump after watching the You're Fired Mystery McMahon documentary, Pete
Rose and Donald Trump have both had storylines in the
WWE both larger than life type of characters. I could
see them having a bond in and a friendship both,
you know, characters they're cut from a similar cloth. Yeah,
so hey, listen they say what's on their mind. I

(52:59):
think the more I hear people, I haven't heard Adam
Shine on Serious Sexam earlier today unbelievable saying how it
was a disgrace that Pete Rose is into the Hall
of Fame. So people from all walks of life, I
think all feel that Pete Rose has been done a
little third. There's a lot of strong opinions about the
Pete Roase thing, even on the flip side of it.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
Not everybody here at Fox Sports Radio agrees with that.

Speaker 2 (53:20):
You know a lot of people like, yeah, but rules
of rules, and I get it, but I would say
rules are for fools.

Speaker 1 (53:26):
Look at me? All right? Great? What else?

Speaker 3 (53:28):
It's sticking with baseball? A couple of musical times. I
got two stories for you. We'll start first with Padres
catcher Kyle Hagashioka. I say they're right, Yeah, Maggie get
hockey with I practiced that.

Speaker 1 (53:39):
Holy did he grab a soul home run in.

Speaker 3 (53:41):
Yesterday's wild card game versus the Braves, where they won
four to nothing, but also got a sweet piece of
memorabilia in the process, a courtesy of Blink one two.
Tom DeLong, who is from the San Diego area also
a huge Padres fan, helps celebrate the Padways win by
delivering the guitar to Kyle from the All.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
The Small Things video.

Speaker 3 (54:01):
He brought him the actual guitar, brought it to the
locker room, put it there, and then I don't know
if you've seen, but Kyle Gashio got gotchi Oka.

Speaker 1 (54:08):
Is known for shredding on the guitar.

Speaker 3 (54:09):
So we started even playing the song in a video
on the Padres social media.

Speaker 1 (54:13):
So check got out midweek er major, so major. Tom
DeLong is a real.

Speaker 2 (54:17):
One for that. As the tweet goes, I saw some
of this on social media. Real one for that. Look,
I'm a Yankees fan and I mentioned it before. Yankee
Battery mates Kyle Hagashioka and Michael King had a game, right,
he's the catcher. Michael King had fifteen strikeouts. Hagey went
Yard and Tom DeLong knew this info for him to
leave a significant guitar from a very popular video to

(54:41):
Kyle Goshijoka and see how much it meant to Kyle.
And then in the video Kyle's jamming on it, He's
jamming the song.

Speaker 1 (54:47):
I think that was such a cool gesture. I think
it's awesome. I love it.

Speaker 2 (54:51):
Major work sucks, I know, listen, I love blank. I
think this is a great story and it just shows
I always find funny how athletes wish they were rock
stars and rock stars wish they were athletes, and when
I when those worlds combined for me.

Speaker 1 (55:06):
I think it's special guests. As a as a.

Speaker 2 (55:08):
Human being, nothing I love more than sports and music.
So I think it's cool. Can I say one more
thing to Kanla Goshioga is one of those longtime players
who everybody loved, but most of his career in the
minor league. So to see him getting some props later
in his career, I think that's kind of awesome. Did
Tum the one going to say, don't waste your time
your toy boy and rich combining your two loves, actually

(55:31):
your three loves, sports, the Mets, and music, Mets of
you know, I've been riding high postseason one of the
driving forces behind the scenes, not only Grimace, but your
boy Jose Iglesias with his smash.

Speaker 1 (55:43):
Hit omg Oh. I got great news for you.

Speaker 3 (55:46):
There's a remix coming out and secured for the remix
coming out next Friday, none other than mister worldwide himself,
pit Bull. So that's gonna hyping up a little bit
more in the postseason. You can check that out, by
the way, Jose Wuisi's because and so that'll be dropping Friday,
October eleventh, midweek or meet.

Speaker 1 (56:04):
I think that's major, and I'm sure agrees with me.

Speaker 2 (56:07):
Man, I think you know it's pretty cool again Mets, music,
sports all together. And at first you think, is it
gonna be cheesy because he's a baseball player trying to
do music, but he's legit. In fact, there was a
point where I think he was more music than baseball
and just stepped it up this year. He was thinking
about walking away if he hadn't got called up to
the big So Jose Iglesias, his hustle alone got the

(56:27):
Mets going yesterday and the OMG is the Mets slogan
this year.

Speaker 1 (56:31):
So let's go.

Speaker 2 (56:32):
And by the way, who loves hustle more than pit Bull?

Speaker 1 (56:35):
Right right?

Speaker 2 (56:36):
He built a career on like he's mister Worldwide. His hustle,
his grind, that's what got him there. I think that's awesome.
I think that's a great another great gesture, pit Bull
OMG remix.

Speaker 1 (56:47):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
All right, coming up to listen up. I know you're
in the market for a new watch. We discussed it
on our Patreon podcast this morning. Well, the the boat
the best biceps of all time. Tom Brady has decided
to auction off his personal watch collection along with other memorabilia.
The auction will be conducted by Southeby's and it's called
The Goat Collection. Watches and Treasures from Tom Brady expected

(57:11):
to fetch a toll with all the memorabilia over eleven
million dollars. Brady said he's been fortunate enough to have
an amazing journey in his career, and these watches and
collectibles capture those moments. Some of the iconic ones are
the one he wore for his roast, the one he
wore during the Bucks twenty twenty one Super Bowl parade.
Also the T shirt he wore during his infamously slow

(57:33):
combine forty. So a bunch of stuff going to be
going on the auction block midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (57:38):
This is major tom Brady related major and rings and memorabilia.

Speaker 1 (57:42):
First of all, he just got that roast one. He's
already given it away.

Speaker 2 (57:45):
But I wonder how much Giselle got in the divorce
if he's selling all his stuff.

Speaker 1 (57:49):
I just shroked that down again.

Speaker 3 (57:52):
The watches about go for like twelve to eighteen thousand dollars,
so they're not.

Speaker 1 (57:56):
A watch shit.

Speaker 2 (57:56):
But why though, I mean, he's still a young man
in life, old man on the field, the young man
in life. To get rid of all of that, I
guess just you just accumulate too much. I don't know
you are on the same page because I just wrote down. Also,
what is the three hundred million plus from Fox?

Speaker 1 (58:12):
Not good enough?

Speaker 2 (58:13):
Right?

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Seriously?

Speaker 2 (58:14):
So hey, you know what a lot of times, if
it's not anything to you anymore, maybe Tom Brady, for
all we know, is the most charitable dude, and he's
gonna be like, I'm gonna give all his money to
like sick kids or something.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
It's like artists summing off their music catalog stuff. Sometimes
it's just stuff, stuff, just stuff. All right, we want
to hit us a couple, Sure, we'll stick with football
and I you know, obviously we have to mention it.
Every week new episode of the New Heights podcast dropped,
which always means some nice new revelations. While Travis Kelcey
addressing his lackluster numbers this season that everyone seems to

(58:44):
be latching onto, however, he pushed that it's just the
stats that reflect that he's still playing winning football and
that's all that matters to him. He said, he's not
listening to the outside noise, positive or negative. He says
all that matters is that he holds himself accountable and
to the highest standards that he could possibly do.

Speaker 2 (59:02):
Midweek or major. I think it's major. It's been a
big story. Everybody's talking about it. All eyes are on Kelsey.
Did he miss his step AB's tweeting about him? So
we want to see and if you haven't seen it,
look it up at your own risk. But for him
to acknowledge it and also acknowledge that though all that
matters is then winning it means a lot, but he's

(59:23):
got to step his game up a little bit.

Speaker 1 (59:25):
I think it's it's mad.

Speaker 2 (59:28):
I think we're looking into it too much because there's
more to the tight end position than catching passes blocking,
But he hasn't scored one up schemes doing I mean
there's a lot that goes into the tight end position.

Speaker 1 (59:37):
So I think maybe the casual fan.

Speaker 2 (59:39):
It's like, well, he's not catching you know, nine passes
for one hundred and ten yards.

Speaker 1 (59:43):
It's not the whole job of a tight end.

Speaker 2 (59:45):
So I did see spot that in two weeks from today,
his TV show Are You Smarter Than a celebrity debut,
So true, it has more to prove though, Rich so
that people don't say, yeah, he's losing focus.

Speaker 1 (59:56):
He's got all these other things going on.

Speaker 3 (59:58):
And he's gotten a lot of positive feed back from
his Grotesque Aree show saying he's got a lot of
riz as the kids say, a lot of charisma.

Speaker 1 (01:00:05):
He's not the rizzler though.

Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Right We've talked a lot sticking with sort of sticking
with Kelsey. We've talked a lot about Chief's fatigue here
on this show. The you know, the Kelsey fatigue, the
Taylor Swift, it's a lot, it's a lot. Well, a
new Pole kind of disagrees with you. The Athletic asked
one hundred NFL players, so they asked within the league
what they thought about Taylor Swift's presence as chiefs games
in support of her Man. The result is surprisingly positive.

(01:00:30):
Over seventy two point five percent of players I think
it's a good thing. Only only or four point nine
percent think it's negative. So about five players on that
poll in twenty two percent shows to just ignore. One
player commented that the NFL's a business. Taylor Swift brings
a lot of eyes, which could lead to increasing the
salary cap. On the negative side, one of the players
said they hate that she's getting unnecessary coverage, citing how

(01:00:53):
she had five appearances in that NFL teaser, that season
teaser and Whoever's players their QB did not get shown,
so mixed reviews. But it's mostly positive Midweek or.

Speaker 1 (01:01:04):
Major Rich any thoughts.

Speaker 2 (01:01:07):
I'm gonna say it's at a mid tube because I
think it makes sense the players realize the bottom on
his money. If this generates more money, which would generate
maybe higher salary salary cap across the league or that
sellar Crep.

Speaker 1 (01:01:22):
I think you can't argue.

Speaker 2 (01:01:23):
Like if you told me, hey, guys, we're gonna focus
on something here at Fox Sports, I don't necessarily love,
but it means you're all gonna get more money, I'd
probably be like, all right, you know you don't say,
I guess can you do a badminton segment every week?
But we'll give you all a huge raise. Okay, hey,
let's talk about badminton. I was saying, I do disagree,
though I agree Mid, but I disagree with the athletic.
What athletic anyway? Terry Steinbeck? What athletics? I don't believe

(01:01:47):
that everyone's all pumped about it. I think there's a
lot of people. I think they relate to it, right,
I mean they're all they're all athletes and celebrity, so
they realize, hey, maybe they could date a celebrity. They
would want positive attention, right Aaronough, thank you, spot. Let's
go to the Embayer for an update, dB. This game
is heating up. Huh.

Speaker 8 (01:02:02):
Royals have just taken a two to one lead on
the Orioles right now in the sixth inning in Baltimore.
Kansas City had a one nothing lead up until the
fifth inning, when Cedric Mullins hit a solo home run,
but Bobby Wood Junior just reached on an infield single.
Two outs to the top of the sixth, Royals have
runners on first and second, and now with a two

(01:02:23):
to one lead over Baltimore and more importantly, a one
game to none lead in the best of three series.
