a lot about those two goons, those two Botcha galops

(01:08):
that tried tearing Mookie Betts's hand off yesterday. We got
to talk about these young quarterbacks stinking it up match.
You wrote that in your notes, young quarterbacks playing like
ass Oh yeah, I did write that.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Jeter. Is he a dud? Or are we not getting
his sense of humor?

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Plus Midweek Major we do it every Wednesday, every hump Day.
We turn it into a hump Night by breaking down
the biggest stories and headlines in the world of sports
and pop culture. Spotty tells us the stories and we
decide are these stories mid Week or Major? Dude, last night,
I'm watching like everyone else, Dodgers Yankees, I'm like, a

(01:48):
good game. Are we got a we got a game here?
Hold on, no fans forward. I'm watching too, and I'm like,
Sergeant buzz Cut does it again?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Seriously, stop pitching to Freddy Freeman. Dude, that was insane.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
We gotta take a moment to say what he's doing
is ridiculous. I'm hating on him, respectfully, just as a
sports fan. I like Freddie Freeman. He's a great guy.
He's great for the game, But as a Yankees fan,
I'm like.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Enough of this guy.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Bif Tannan keeps beating you, seriously, stop pitching those inside
fastballs to Biff.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
His oversized teeth consents where the ball's gonna get serious. No,
he's incredible, Danny g At least.

Speaker 4 (02:29):
I don't have oversized untied timberlands On.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
Look, it's incredible the numbers he's put up this postseason.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah, I set a record six games in a row
with a home run? And Rich, what are the odds
that I'm wondering for Vegas, the odds that he goes
seven games in a row.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
You know, I will look that up and maybe we'll
go over some DraftKings wagers.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
O see our show. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
It's my job as a Yankee fan to hate on him,
but in a respectful way because I like him as
a player and as a man. How does Gary Vaynerchuk
put it, Rich as far as like your fandom, Like,
I don't hate him by any means, but I'm gonna
hate on him because I don't want him to win.
Gary Vee, who I love, Friends of the show. Gary Vaynerchuck.
You know Gary vaynerchut, motivational guy on social media. Gary

(03:17):
Vee says, sports at the one time you're allowed to
be irrational with your feelings, Like I hate that guy.
You don't really hate him, but the sports version of
you is allowed to hate him. Like man to man,
you don't hate Freddy Freeman. No, but the Yankee fan
in you is like if that guy, especially right now,
Like there's a lot of players on the Dodgers that
I actually like. Mookie Betts so likable, so great for

(03:41):
the game. If I was a kid, I'd probably have
his poster just because he's so great. Like growing up,
we had Jordan posters. I didn't root for the Bulls,
I had Griffy posters. I didn't root for the Mariners.
So I respect and love Mookie Bets. But right now,
screw that guy. No, No, same. I respect one Soto's game.
I said that before the series began he might be

(04:01):
a Dodger next. Yeah. The Dodger fans who are in
the outfield, I saw that. Did you see that? They're
like future Dodger? Really loud, he turned around and gave
a little way. He acknowledged the Dodger fans and dude,
who couldn't love and respect Otani and what he means
for the game, what a superstar he is. But right
now you think I like that guy, Screw that guy.

(04:24):
That's just part of being a fan. So keep that
in mind when I'm talking about Freddy Freeman, because in reality,
what he's doing is unbelievable. So you can't skip that
rich because that immediately sucked the fun out of the air.
Last night again at Yankee Stadium. That could have been
so weak for Yankees yesterday. Just to make it clear,
after the Yankee fans cheered future Dodger I'm sorry they

(04:46):
had the Dodgers fans. Steve Cohen, Mets owner, he texted
Wan Soto the money bag emoji. Oh we're all well
good in Queens. It's gonna be wild to see who
gets this, dude. But you know what, You're right, Freddy
Freeman doing unbelievable things.

Speaker 5 (05:02):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
It felt like the Nightmare all over. It was almost laughable,
Like are you kidding? I'm like seriously, and even casual
fans like my girlfriend's walking by, She's like, why did
they keep pitching to him?

Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I believe it's plus five hundred for a home run
for the seventh game.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
And that's I mean, that's yeah typical.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
But and if your cruise one right over for the
guy that would be insane, keep it low and outside.
Luke Weaver actually pitched him really great last night. So anyway, Rich,
I didn't want to fast forward past that because it's
just incredible to see. There comes a point in the
game where you're like thinking, you know, this is gonna
be a battle. I'm you know, there just needs to

(05:44):
be some type of distinct momentum shift, something needs to
happen to set the tone.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
And then it happened.

Speaker 6 (05:51):
His name Anthony cappa Bianco, the guy that's got I
feel like you had freshm Todel popping out of his pockets,
out of his second chin, and.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
The guy with the double chin. Let me tell you,
when the foul balls hit down the right field line,
Labor Torres foul ball, Mookie Bets goes running into the
stands right there, makes the catch.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
Do we have the actual call?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
I was saying, I didn't even ask you, but play
the call, because I think everyone's like, what just happened?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Right by Torres Bets in the corner. Does he have
room fights with the fan.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
And they're gonna say that it's out and fan interference?

Speaker 3 (06:32):
He give me that bow, MOOKI no bull for you.
Oh hey, Peter, get his hand.

Speaker 7 (06:37):
Hey oh.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I immediately posted on social media like my live reaction.
It was the most New York thing you go to
thirty MLB stadiums that had Bronx Bleacher creature written all
over it.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
These guys, I love their quota.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
We're gonna get into this, but I love the quote
of like when you getting off space, we'd be up.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
If you're gonna quote it, quote it, you Gooenberger.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
You know better than Anthony Capobianco, who used this last
brain cell to rip off the glove of Mookie Bets.
Don't forget his brother, Darren. We're not going out of
our way to attack. That's not in our character, that's
not who we are, he goes.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
But if it's in our area, we're gonna be up
that right, Darren, Let's go Yankees.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
You come on this side of the wall.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
This is this is this is our city smoke.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
You come over here.

Speaker 1 (07:33):
You know what I love to what I love is
the no conversation, the no hesitation moment of they were there.
And you know what's funny when you read about it,
they said that for years they've talked about how they
would react if that were to ever happen, and they
executed without any hesitation, any pause whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
His last brain cell was Terror's hand off Tony Well.

Speaker 8 (07:58):
They said they talked about it. Yes, they're like, if
this ever happens, this is what we're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Is crazy? Grab it there.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
There's so many layers to this, you know how we
always say, uh, one of our inspirations is the little
tortilla Girl because she's taught us a very popular lesson. Well,
it was a very popular commercial where the family was
debating this very Mexican family, do we do flour or
corn tortillas?

Speaker 2 (08:22):
That's a big debate in itself.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
And the little Mexican tortilla girl, the old Apastle tortilla
girl goes why not both? It's always flower, and then
they cheer her in the air and celebrate her. Hey, hooray,
should always always be flower? Why not both? Is the
agreed story? Spot agreed always flower?

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Why not both?

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Applies to when people are asking was that disgraceful or awesome.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And my answer is why not both? It was equal parts.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I wouldn't say awesome, Rich, I'd watch your words here,
because you can't condone this buffoonery. This is hilarious or
disrespectful because there's some or disgraceful because there's something very
funny about it. I can't deny that I have a
sense of humor. These guys were idiots. If you can't
find hilari on a huge stage, if you can't find
the humor in a couple of New York goombas trying

(09:13):
to rip the ball out of Mookie BET's glove, I
had a bigger problem with the brother Darren touching Mookie's
other arm.

Speaker 4 (09:19):
He was pulling his wrist. They both got a hold
of both risks.

Speaker 9 (09:22):
Now here's one.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Thing, the ball and the glove.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
It all happened so fast that the replay makes it
look like it happened over a thirty second time period.
This was like bang bang. The brother Anthony was the
guy that went in the glove. I could see the instinct.
He's like, I'm out of the tame Brown's bombers. I
got this.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Oh, the brother Austin Austin had the glove, Darren grabbed
the other wrist.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
When who's Anthony? Then no, it's Anthony. You think there's
a gweedo named Austin. His name is Downy the way.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
He's a low legend now free drinks anytime in the Bronx.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
The only way his name would be Austin. The only
way would be Austin is if it's like, yeah, we
I mean your mother, we made you in Austin when
we went with this relocation. So I have a problem
with the brother Greb and Mookie's other arm the glove.
I could see in the moment what this dope was
trying to do. So my stance is equal parts hilarious

(10:25):
and equal parts wrong.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Disgraceful, but discravell Here's why. Here's why is that discrace? Please,
You're gonna get a lot of backlayers. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
I think it's funny as hell. No, no, no, but
here's why it's disgraceful. Yes, I could see the funny
in it because he used his very last and maybe
only brain cell to say it's my ball, get out
of here.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
I'm in a d up.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
And then as goofy brother jumped in at the same
time the ball goes flying out, he looks at it
like a dope, like, hey, does the ball?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I did a good job.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Then they looked at the rightfield umpire like he was
a bouncer at a club, like he's in my terra.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
I didn't.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
I didn't touch him his gloves overhead. So here's why
it's disgraceful. You gotta put yourself on the flip side
of things. If that was Aaron Judge and someone was
yanking on his wrist practically breaking off, bending his wrist
in a terrible direction, aggressively, because it was aggressive, even

(11:23):
though it was short, it was super great. It was
very aggressive. And if I saw someone else doing that,
it was I agreed. I actually agree. If you saw, yes, Saul, Yes,
his hand open, it was it was theft. If you
saw or I saw someone else doing that to Aaron
Judge in right field, I would hate that fandom, that
team and everyone involved in that moment.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
But Yo, that's so wrong.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Man.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Aaron Judge is a good guy.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
And so what so is Mookie Betts. Mookie Betts is
a great guy. He didn't deserve that A man handled
a professional athlete.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Bingo bent his wrist, yanked on his arm, and made
New York fans look like, yeah, crash back.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
And if at the same time.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
But yes, that's funny, and yes, if it turns the
tides of the Yankees, we're gonna You're gonna annoint them
the heroes of the series.

Speaker 9 (12:11):
See rich.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
Even as a Dodgers fan, I would agree with you
if they just hit his glove and we're aggressive with his.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
Glove, Yes, but that's not why.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
I remember in the outfield the Dodgers Padre series profar
when that ball, when he went into the outfield crowd,
Remember the fans backed up because they were like, oh,
they didn't want to be a part of it.

Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yes, slapping it is one thing.

Speaker 9 (12:29):
Yeah, I know they did that.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
But once you touch the player's body, I think that's
where the line was crossed.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I think his wrisks. I'm not changed by stance. I
think it was wrong. I think it was just disgraceful.
But I also am allowed to think it was hilarious.
Oh yeah, wind not both hilarious and discretion Boky Bets
is fine. It was the wrong move by these fans,
But to say it wasn't quintessential Yankees fan.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Hey, listen, we attacked, but respectfully.

Speaker 8 (12:57):
I think because you guys grew up in that area,
you're like hardened to this kind of behavior. But for
a lot of people, I thought that is zero his
there's zero funniness to this. And it was than Sam,
I mean, how do you not find the funny? That's
something with a double chin that.

Speaker 10 (13:10):
Sam, come on, I used to I used the power
of my if you really want to break down, I
used the I saw Moulkie come in, I said, this
is my Terri toy, and my brother looked at me.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
I looked at him, and I used the power of
my double chin to aggressively grab and then yank, and
then the ball came out.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
And that's how it was done. I was, Sam, it's
being revoked.

Speaker 8 (13:32):
Fine, no, no, you're right, big Apple.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
So you can't, Big Apple, I cannot endorse this kind
of behavior.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
That is exactly what you get and expect from the bleacher.

Speaker 8 (13:45):
Creature mental put this all right. I just thought it
was distasteful.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
It is very much the type of guy that we
grew up with, so there is an understanding there. But
when I put myself in, like I said, the flip
side of it. I would be furious. I would not
be kind and happy if it happened to Judge. So
I have to play it both sides. I do agree
with Rich on one thing. It is both hilarious and disgraceful,
but I can't condone that behavior. These dopes were escorted out,

(14:15):
then they're look. Apparently they were gonna be allowed back
to the game tonight, but now their tickets are up
for sale again.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Their band really.

Speaker 4 (14:25):
You know, I'm still texting with Darren about coming onto
the show. So don't call him a dope yet.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Oh no, I trust me. I say it respectfully. He's
a New York guy, he knows where I'm coming from.
I think it's funny, but it's also disgraceful from guys
like Sam. Not everybody grows up with guys like that
where they get it.

Speaker 4 (14:42):
Rich, would you feel any different if one of your
Mets outfielders had his wrist bent like that by a fan.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
If they did that to Nimo, I would have said, disgraceful.
What's sort of funny that some Bronx dude with his
pinstripes on, oh, with his double chin like oh, I go?
Anthony had the await because you know what he's thinking
in his mind, He's thinking like, no one's you know,
I'm gonna make a difference.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
No one's gonna see this. Yeah, there's no campus looking
at me. I know what I'll tak He didn't make
a difference, counted his two runs. He did the opposite
of what he wanted to do. I was gonna be
a Yankee legend like Jeffrey Mayon. We're gonna we're gonna
remember this moment forever. And you could argue he started
the Yankee rally. There's a good chance at he's being
gonna give this credit for being the moment and not

(15:29):
Anthony Volpi's Grand Slam. Now, this guy, I guarantee there's
a bar in New York City or a venue that
would pay this guy five to ten grand tonight to
host a watch party.

Speaker 9 (15:42):
Oh yeah, he.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Is a local legend for the next twenty four hours.
I guarantee there's some bar in the Bronx somewhere that's
like and tonight. You know who's gonna be on hand,
you know, Gumba number one.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
No, you're right, because as he was being escorted out
with his brother, they were getting high five pats on
the back.

Speaker 1 (15:59):
He was called the all an actual hero in New York.
That word is not thrown around lightly. Put it in perspective.
Everybody in the and this guy. Every person in the Bronx,
every Yankees fan loves this guy. Every casual fan thinks
it's hilarious. So he's he's a legend in his circle
and in his bubble. Yankees got no fight left. Let

(16:21):
me show him what a fight it's really like. And
by the way, there's other updates. Rob Groundkowski's involved. Oh
explain we have that when you think, man, who would
possibly know this guy, who would possibly relate to this
there's a great ground tie and that we'll get to.
But we are gonna talk NFL quarterbacks. There's an update
with Anthony Richardson and the Colts. We're gonna get to

(16:43):
midweek major as Derek Jeter dud. But your thoughts on
this guy could something be equal parts grace like gross
and awesome, because I think it could be. There are
things in life that could be funny and wrong. Listen,
not to get political, but kill Tony just did that
speech at the Garden with Trump.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
His name is Tony Hingecliff.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, but the kill Tony podcast is how people know Yeah,
but no one calls him kill Tony. Tony Wait, I
mean in your own business, bro, Hey, that's his name,
Joe Brownie. So the kill Tony podcast, Tony Hincliff go
one Tony. I mean something could be equal parts like oh,
that was funny but all wrong when he did the
Puerto Rico jokes and everyone's like, yeah, they fell flat.

(17:28):
Not everything is so cut and dry, right, And this
is a great example of especially if you're a Yankees
East Coast fan, which I'm not I am. He is
a disgrace and local hero all at once. Let me
throw your own words back at you. Is this something
that you would do?

Speaker 2 (17:46):
I always put myself in that scenario. I would not,
So then why would you defend that behavior?

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Well, because my friends growing up did all sorts of
things that I thought were funny that I wouldn't do.
I'll answer for Rich okay, because that's the truth. When
you go up with boneheads like that doesn't make it acceptable.
Understand it. You get a good laugh at it, doesn't
mean you would do it. That's why I really can't
condone it. I understand it. Is this what breaks the
slump of the Yanks. If that's the case, I'm all

(18:12):
for if the credit, I credit Vulpi for really changing
what went down last night. The guy played his ass off,
he had a game, he ran the bases. Well, he
sort of messed up at first, but then you got
to get a little assist to Dave Roberts too for
not going lefty lefty there. Well that's true too. We're
going to break that down too. Was it a strategy game?

(18:34):
Was it too much of a risk. There's lots to
get to in regards to the game. These idiots steal
the headlines. But you know, my final thought, and we'll
break and take your feedback, is that it could be
equal parts terrible and hilarious. We're allowed to laugh at
something when no one got hurt. It was just a
typical Bronx bomber, a typical Yankee fan. Oh, I mean

(18:54):
that is if you grew up on the East Coast,
that is a Yankees fan, newsflash. And this guy's a
lot local hero. It's hilarious and ridiculous. But I think
that if the Yankees going a little run here and
force the game six, maybe force a game seven. Is
part of the documentary turning point is this buffoon until
the fateful moment when Anthony compo Bianco reached in. The

(19:17):
Yankees and their fem base seemed dead until this moment,
until this bunch of gloop reached in and ripped the
glove off of Mookie Bets.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Is this going to be part of the Sports Illustrated highlights? Yeah,
telling you should get his own baseball card from tops.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Aside from bleacher creature mentality, you know, it's it's frowned
upon everywhere I do lean more like that's as salt
a salt.

Speaker 8 (19:42):
Bro He pried his hand open. If that happened to
me in a Metallica con, it was way aggressive.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
God, do you the guy that gets shoved at the
club and you're like, I'm calling the police. No.

Speaker 8 (19:49):
No, I was trying to pick up a guitar pick
off the ground and I had it in my hand,
and like all these people just started ripping my hand open,
and I.

Speaker 2 (19:54):
Felt like, what the hell? Man, call the police, Sam,
Just let it go. But you have to.

Speaker 9 (20:00):
I'm not a professional athlete either.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
You have to put that in perspective. Yeah, you're you're
a professional athlete. You're out there, you're a high investment.
These guys are bending the risk of a superstar, not
just some some nobody out there in right field.

Speaker 2 (20:11):
That's Mookie Bets.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
So when I think of it in that way, like
I said, if it was Aaron Judge, I would not
be cool with it. Because it's Mookie Bets, I do
find it a little more acceptable because I'm a Yankees fan.
But dude, it's it's more disgraceful than hilarious. Doesn't the
outcome play into your feelings, meaning like no one got hurt.
Mookie Bets was frustrated because these guys are dopes. And

(20:33):
but you want to see this again.

Speaker 4 (20:35):
If everyone just says it's okay, then somebody could try
it again and be even more rough.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Well, why are we so uptight? Like it's not.

Speaker 4 (20:42):
About being uptightis and you're not supposed to touch the
pro athletes when they're on their plane.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
Danny his glove went into the crowd and a quintessential
eye roll.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Ye oh yeah, the glove.

Speaker 9 (20:53):
Then I'm all for that.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Then then in my area, I eat up.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
You know, we patrol and when you high five a
situation like this, then it becomes a slippery slope where
now everyone feels.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Like they have the right.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
In fact, Mike who runs his place, who yeah, he said,
don't even give them shout outs.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Don't use their names. They're more on number one and
more on number two. They don't deserve the prop.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Austin and Darren Cababianco, you guys are funny. You made
a dumb move. You deserve to be kicked out of
tonight's game. But my reaction on social media, I can't
play it here. People I cursed. They may be fun
and funny in all those things, but it doesn't translate
necessarily that way on such a major stage.

Speaker 2 (21:34):
In this way, it's not about them in this moment.
This is the world series.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
Me reacting to that moment and laughing about how this
is the most New York ridiculous thing. Is our most
viewed Instagram video in the last six months. People got
a kick out of it, and at the same time
they're just trying. They're intrigued by how you curse like
a sailor in front of your little kids.

Speaker 2 (21:52):
You don't curse in front of your kids, not like that.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
No, I mean I have a teen h age kids,
so I think I deserved to curse in front of her,
you hook the algorithm.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
But that's it.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
The funny in it is it's an instant meme where
it's somebody saying, oh yeah, what did they say? Small
business owner and then the hand the glove being pulled
says I r s.

Speaker 2 (22:13):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Yeah, there's there's like I've seen five to ten different memes.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
All listen, we're not going out of our way to
attack anybody, but hey, if it's in our area, we're
going to d up right, Darren, it's ridiculous if you
don't see the funny and how foolish these two guys are.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
There's some funny in it. Mookie Bets is fine, we
move on to a game five.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Yeah, but you're you're being just as much of a
dope because no one's not saying or I'm not saying
it's not funny. I'm saying it does lean more disgrace
I was Sam among others, because there's more life than
the way we grew up in New York. We have
that funny bone that it tickles. Not everybody does in
slow mo. It was disgraceful. In real time, maybe it
was it looked funnier. You know, who does get this

(22:58):
type of guy, and it's no surprise. Here's the other
fun nugget side part of the story. Then we're gonna
get to your phone calls hilarious or disgraceful eight seven
seven ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
M Fox Rich and I grew up with kids just
like this.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Right to see them react in the moment was impressive
because there was no hesitation. I can't even believe someone
would do that Land. But a guy that does understand
this sort of makeup, this type of guy, Rob gronkows, Oh,
he doesn't understand it, he just knows him. Take a listener,
Take a listen to Gronk.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
And here's a little fun fact. That guy right there
grabbing Mookie Bets's glove was my friend in college.

Speaker 1 (23:35):
Gronk.

Speaker 7 (23:38):
He was on the ice hockey team, the club Arizona
Wildcats team ice hockey team. And let me tell you
the whole hockey teamsoutely, they were absolute maniacs. They were undescribable,
just how wild animals, yes, how wild these guys were.
Him doing that represents him very well. I mean, he

(23:59):
is all for his teams. That describes him perfectly, just
doing whatever it takes to help his team out. But beauty,
a beauty. I want to congratulations for shining when your
moment came.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
So I guess Greg does understand that. But Gronk did
say I don't approve of it. Well, he was cornered
into saying that because no one wants to admit that
he did. Whether it's funny or not. They didn't hesitate,
he did shine or he did defend when the moment
called upon. Let me, let me give one more layer

(24:37):
and then we'll take the feedback. And by the way,
that was courtesy of k Adams, who is fantastic. This
is this is not premeditated like when some dummy. No listen,
if the scenario came out when some dummy runs on
the field flashing everyone pulling his junk out or some
girl runs out on the baseball field back in the day,

(24:57):
that was premeditated happened.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
This is a Steve Bartman moment.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
This is a guy leaning over the left field portrait
Dodger Stadium was an innocent goofy bystander who we ruined
because he had goofy glasses, a turtleneck, a nerdle neck,
and headphones. Such a nerd. Yeah, there was like seven
people that reached for that because we lived in a

(25:23):
different time. Rich your NERD did it I score book.
There was like there was like six other people that Nerd. Yeah,
you know what, Nerd did it. Bro We bullied Steve Bartman.
These guys bullied Mookie Betts. You know what, see what
the phone say, Jordan and Toronto will start with you.

(25:43):
Why are you the defender all of a sudden of
like idiots. I think it's funny because I know these
type of guys well, but you got to acknowledge that
is it doesn't matter that we know these type of
guys we grew up in New York that I want
to say, I don't think that's as relevant as much
as I think I think it was a funny moment
of the World series. Mookie Betts didn't get hurt. It

(26:04):
was a bang bang situation. If he did, see that's
what's so dumb about what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (26:08):
He did? What if he did?

Speaker 1 (26:10):
Okay, So then the next time, what if someone is
even more aggressive because their heroes all of a sudden, Jordan,
what's up man?

Speaker 11 (26:17):
Hey, guys, sixt thing mycalls. I was exactly gonna say that,
like it's.

Speaker 12 (26:21):
Kind of funny right now.

Speaker 11 (26:23):
Yeah, but if Mookie Betts had to hurt it, sprain
his grip, twisted his finger, He's gonna should have been
charged with a fault. You hurting like a million dollars
athletes in the professional games.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
You know what, I have a great I have a
great analogy. You ever watch a dumb video on Instagram
or TikTok? Of course you have. You ever see some
guy I don't know, he tries to jump off his
roof into a pool and he falls. If that guy
broke his back and died, guess what, it's not funny.
If he just fell and it was a fail, guess
what we all do?

Speaker 2 (26:54):
Oh man, that guy? Can you believe he missed the
pool and fell on the lawn?

Speaker 1 (26:58):
Forniu're hugely different about your the outcome the stage, bro.
You can't dismiss the stage in the moment, but you
can't dismiss the outcome being a big part of it. Yeah,
but by condoning it and applauding it, you're welcoming more
of Bruno and Brooklyn.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
What's up, man, gentlemen, Good afternoon.

Speaker 5 (27:15):
I'm in the epicenter of this. I work live and
handle guys. Like this every day. Right, it's awesome, and
for the most part, people outside the city can't understand
what the mentality is. Now. I'm not saying it was
right because it was wrong. It's awesome. The moment was awesome.
No harm, no file. That's how we lived down here

(27:35):
in the city. Nobody got hurt. Three guys you know,
got into a brawl, nobody got came out hurt. But
what I'm going to say is this, It's simple. Iowa, Sam,
your name says it all. Dude, you're from Iowa. Come
to Brooklyn, come to the Brocks, spend some time down
here and see. By the way, these guys that did
this will be the first guys that will help you
change a tire, run your car.

Speaker 2 (27:55):
That's true. That is true.

Speaker 5 (27:56):
You're right.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
I've heard the biggest difference between New York and LA
and I thought this the best analogy. Someone said, if
you had a flat tire in New York, someone would
pull up beside you and go, what are you an
f an idiot? You're a flat tire. Let me let
me help you move overside, let me die got you.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
I got you. Someone in l A would be like,
oh my god, you got a flat tire. That's so bad.
I hope you find out here.

Speaker 9 (28:22):
I got a flat tire one time outside of Ames, Iowa,
and the guy just gave me the finger on his
tractor as he drove past.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Come on, come mean it sucks. Yeah later, let's ahead,
John in Vegas. I will go to dB for an update. John,
any any thoughts on this? Why can't it be equal
parts disgraceful and funny because no harm, no foul broke.

Speaker 11 (28:47):
Look at his arm and look how stretched it is.

Speaker 5 (28:49):
It was real close to snapping something.

Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's why I I can't condone it, man, because I
know i'd be the first guy. I don't want to
sound like hypocrite because if if the shoe was flipped,
as I say, yeah, that makes no sense. But it
makes no sense, but you get it right, the shoe
was flipped, yeah, you'd be talking about if it was
Mets Yankees and almost tried to tour like the nimmo's

(29:15):
arm off.

Speaker 9 (29:15):
I just feel like you would have looked at it different.

Speaker 1 (29:17):
I hear you, But I think Coveno's analogy is great though.
If it was some instead of some gleedo on the Bronx.
If it was some tough Vato loco down it, like
some some hard LA guy that was twisting. Uh, you know,
Glabor Torres arm Cavino would not be pleased.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
No, man, I'd be so mad about it.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
You'd be talking about La fans the way kill Tony
talked about Puerto Rico. By the way, I am from Iowa,
but I've spent a lot I love the Northeast. Don't
get me wrong. I've spent a lot of time in Philadelphia.
I've been in New York in the Big Apple.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Maame back.

Speaker 9 (29:44):
That's fine. You can call me.

Speaker 8 (29:46):
You can call me Iowa Sam, Philly Sam, Yeah, Philly Sam,
whatever you want. But no, like, I totally get that.
Like I'm not I'm not just mister here, mister indignant
over here. Like like I I I was grossed out
by the thing. But I do love the Northeast, and
people are very unfiltered and blunt out there, and it's
a little bit of a different mindset. I totally get.
That's why I like you guys so much, because you're
just whatever's on your mind. You're gonna say it's rude,

(30:07):
it was wrong. I agree that they should not be
at the game tonight. Baseball made the right choice. But
let's there's a lot of serious stuff in life. Funny
and disgraceful. It was memorable, it was wild, but we
can't act like these dudes are heroes. Last night, I
didn't say they deserve capes, Kavito. I just said that

(30:28):
it was a moment that he was Anthony Volpi bro.
He had the game of his life. It's a true
life dream come true. A kid, local kid, little local kid.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Done good.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Hey, little Tony, little Tony Volpey Vaultpi, lifelong Yankees fan.
He's at the Prey No.

Speaker 13 (30:46):
Nine.

Speaker 1 (30:47):
He wants to be a Yankee one day. HiT's a
grand Slam off A picture that probably wouldn't have been
in there anyway, right, Danny g Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:54):
I mean all the diehard Dodger fans, real fans know
that if it was a all in game for Dave Robert,
he would have yanked touts and he would have went
left left there.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
But yanked him.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, you're right, Grand slam dreams come true, Jared Render.
Then it like sort of annoints him in the post game.
It was a beautiful anoints him. Stop and now you're
make me hate you even more. Did Annoy give him
his strip?

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Because Jeter said when they interviewed the Pope, when they
interviewed annoyed, you don't use the annoints. Zip your yeppie
pie hole, you and those two guys when.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
Because I didn't even get the sentence, Christen, can we
say christ Jeter is a god?

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Say?

Speaker 1 (31:44):
At the end of the game, Volpi was talking about
how much guys like Roden, Poppy and Jeter meant to
him growing up, and Jeter goes, well, for as much
as we meant to guys like you. You mean that
now to millions of kids all over the place. The
father of the guys, father the son der cheater And anyway, they're.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Not the hero.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Boby was the hero last night. You're missing the point. Now, Hey,
Rich is the guy trying to buy one of their jerseys? Now,
Rich the biggest fan of the Dragoons last night? Well, Hey,
a lot of fun, your thoughts, your feedback, you know,
take Steelo's call in California.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Then we'll go to dB. What's up, stee Low, what's up?

Speaker 12 (32:20):
What's up?

Speaker 11 (32:21):
Hey?

Speaker 12 (32:21):
I just want to say this. Okay, I'm a product
up for Nandomania. Okay, I live in STOCKTONLL. We live
ten minutes away from where from Eric Judge, my son
or my uh my friend's son went to school with
friendsbe state with Aaron Judges. We love them, We love
the Yankees. I'm I'm a Dodgers fan. I was at
Dodgers Stadium. Lookie had a two run shot. That's my guy.

(32:42):
Don't touch my guy, hockey player, don't touch them.

Speaker 2 (32:45):
Don't't do touch them.

Speaker 5 (32:47):
I'm an open Raider fan. I'm opening Raider fan.

Speaker 12 (32:49):
I got that background. But you know what, Yankees won
far and square. But you know what, I hope the
Dodgers win in New York for Brooklyn because that's where
they're Oh, there you.

Speaker 2 (33:01):
Go, that's true. You know what, dB Any final words.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
Just you know, you guys are talking about different situations.
What about if the two fans we're trying to wrestle
the mic from Fat Joe, would you feel differently on
Game three?

Speaker 2 (33:12):
Oh? You would have been applauded up for sure.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Rip off those timblands. All right, Hey, we're gonna talk
about a NFL this coming hour. Young quarterbacks, Uh, one
of those being Anthony Richardson. There's news there. You heard
in Dan Bayer's update and Spot's got Midweek major. I
thought about Derek Jita, but real quick, strategy wise, many
argue Dodgers fans are saying, like, yeah, we sort of

(33:37):
gave that one to them. Do you give away a
game for strategy purposes when you're up three?

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Oh? Is that your conserving energy? You know?

Speaker 1 (33:46):
Do you respect the strategy or do you step on
their neck when the opponent's down in a game like
the World Series, a series against the Yankees, who you know,
if they heat up, they're good, you step on their neck.
I don't like the strategy, man, I think you should
like it. I like it as a Yankees fan, I'm
saying as far as their strategy, I.

Speaker 9 (34:05):
Had Dodger fan.

Speaker 4 (34:06):
I hated life last night watching Hudson stay in so long,
honeywell stay in so long. I feel confidence. Yeah, why
would you do that? That's the thing the old saying.
You don't poke the bear, you just don't do it.

Speaker 1 (34:18):
I mean, the Yankees would have to make history in
the World Series to make this time a comeback. But yeah,
but dude, if they come back, it all comes back
to this quote unquote strategy. Yeah, I mean I played
ball with a bunch of Dodgers fans and I had
a softball game late last night and the guys were all,
you know, say what Danny saying like it was strategy.
Dave Roberts just planning for games five and maybe six.
I don't know, man, it's the World Series. I get

(34:41):
it if you felt like this isn't gonna be the game.
I get when people say, let's use the back end
of the bullpen, don't waste arms.

Speaker 2 (34:47):
But you gave a guy his first start.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Yeah, ever, and they were using the bottom of their
postseason roster there, like there were guys pitching that I know.
I wasn't the only Dodger fan, and you know, sitting
at home sweating bullets like why is he in right now?

Speaker 1 (35:04):
And tonight will be a result of what happened yesterday.
You canna see a fired up Yankees team.

Speaker 2 (35:08):
We'll see, you know.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
After the show, Danny g got to give him props.
He puts up the podcast each hour a best of
That's not.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Why I'm laughing. I'll tell you why I'm laughing.

Speaker 1 (35:17):
It's looking at some of our possible bets, DraftKings, Code
cur show.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
I like Garrett cole over five strikeouts, tonight. I don't
know why I like that. Five or more strikeouts for
Garrett Cole a Girt Cole. But I just said, oh,
you know what, what's Thursday.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
Night football again? The Jets, Texans and Jets. Yeah, damn Byer,
am I missing something?

Speaker 2 (35:44):
The Jets are favored?

Speaker 9 (35:46):
Well, the Texans don't have Stefan Diggs anymore or Nico
Collins anymore.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
So there's that.

Speaker 9 (35:51):
But well, at least for the time being, Nico Collins.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
But favorite. I feel like my nephew's flag football team
could be the Jets right now.

Speaker 9 (35:59):
Short Jets are at home.

Speaker 2 (36:01):
That's true.

Speaker 1 (36:01):
You're right, there's reasons. That's why I asked dam Bayer
because I'm like, what am I missing?

Speaker 3 (36:05):
So I got an update for you at midwek major
that might change your mind on Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
Can't wait.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
But so Stefan Diggs, Nico Collins at home for the
Jets short week. Yeah, it's just to me a two
and sixteen that looks awful. Being favored just feels weird.

Speaker 9 (36:26):
It does. They had no business losing to the Patriots,
but they found a way. So it makes you afraid
that even if they do play how you think they
should play that they'll find a way to lose.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Is it wrong that I'm more interested in seeing Bronny
play with Lebron in Cleveland tonight than I am about
the Jets game.

Speaker 2 (36:42):
A bit?

Speaker 9 (36:42):
Yeah, Lakers again? What a what a what a publicity stunt?
I mean, my goodness, it's.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
Like it's like a traveling circus. By the way, today
on this day, dam byre, you know I'm on this
day guy in the eighteen hundreds.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Today was the day of P. T.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Barnum's first circus and we're going to see another one
in Cleveland where they roll out Lebron James and his
son for all to see. Come on, come on, thanks
for the circus updates. Rich Circus Alerts. Subscribe to his
newsletter Circus Alert.

Speaker 9 (37:13):
I worked in the circus town of America, Barrol Boo, Wisconsin. Yes,
look it up, that big time circus town.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Is it true that your mom was really trying to
push for you guys to be the great buyers like
the Trepeze Act. No, no, it's not my hometown. I
just worked there invised to get a shout out of
a cannon. It was his first gick, shoot you out
of a can to be too much dumb fun. Thanks

(37:44):
you guys, Thank you World Series, NBA lebron and Bronny.
Tonight so so a lot of fun, a lot of
reasons to be a sports fan, and even if you're
not a sports fan, thanks for hanging and uh tonight.
There's also something else I know, Danny G. You're gonna
watch besides some NBA. Beside it's a Major League Baseball
World Series. I know when the game's over. I know
when the Lakers, you know, and Bronnie when you're not

(38:07):
watching them, when you're not watching the Dodgers Winterer loose
six pm out here on the West Coast, when all
is said and done, when co is sleeping. And by
the way, my son, who's four, loves Danny G's a
little boy. He's like, where's baby Ka? So you got
to come back soon, bro, My god, I know that
Danny's gonna put cod to bed. Hey, Brenda, it's time

(38:28):
Love is Blind. There after we shoot off our Dodgers fireworks,
after you celebrate or say oh man, Game six on Friday.
Love is Blind Season seven, Leo's back, the whole cast
of the Hannah nick I turned you from a boy
to a man, Nick, Well, you know what, we may
all disagree on these bozos from last night. I vacuumed

(38:50):
ten times a day in the year, but I think
we all could agree that do you have a four on?
Ramsey and Hannah are the worst people on any dating
show of all time? No, you know who.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
I'll tell you what.

Speaker 1 (39:01):
Ramsey Karate kicked that guy. Ramses and Hannah are worse
than the two guys at Yankee Stadium.

Speaker 2 (39:06):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
I want to pull his Anakin Skywalker ponytail.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
I saw someone on social media say how confident does
that idiot have to be to not even address effect
that he has two stupid breaks? Jared Freed who said
that Jared Freed, the comedian give Hilary props. Jaredfreed goes
this guy, I mean, what a level of confidence that
you have to have to not even mention you have
two doofy looking braids hanging out the side of your head.

Speaker 9 (39:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (39:30):
What did Marissa's mom say he looked like the Gang? Yeah,
She's like, you look like you're from the movie Breaking
in the eighties. Yeah, it's a bad looks.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
Tonight an action packed Now you got, like you said,
some good NBA, an American sports Story, Aaron Hernandez new
episode the World Series and.

Speaker 2 (39:47):
Love is Blind. So hey, a little for everyone and
we move on.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Good luck to your Dodgers, Danny, Good luck to your Yankees, Cavino, Danny.
For the fun of it, I would love a Game
six at Dodger STADIU where we could all watch with
our listeners. Saturday night is Game seven.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
Possibly.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Oh, I personally think you're gonna get that. The silver
lining for the Dodgers fans, you get to win at home.
I think you let the Yankees breathe too much last night.
You breathe some life back into their bats, and you
got Garrett Coleret Garrett Coles.

Speaker 2 (40:16):
Due for a gem.

Speaker 9 (40:17):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
I know Cole is your your number one, but Jack
Flaherty is nothing to sneeze.

Speaker 7 (40:22):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
But Garrett Coles, much like pizza and sexs Danny g
even when it's bad, it's still pretty good.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
And I think with the Yankees' bats getting a little hot.

Speaker 1 (40:31):
And that's due to your strategy yesterday, I'm high yours,
not my strategy, Dave Roberts strategy. And by the way,
what great revenge on the flip side of the Yankees
could get Dave Roberts, being that he was the catalyst
of their big comeback when he was a Red Sox, Right,
I mean, let me tell you, and I don't know,
by the way, is can you know the first person
ever to compare Garrett Cole to pizza and sex?

Speaker 2 (40:53):
Yeah, because even when he sucks, he's still pretty good.

Speaker 4 (40:57):
I hope he's Little Caesar's Pizza tonight.

Speaker 3 (41:00):
Hey.

Speaker 1 (41:00):
I mean he's right though, gart Cole, like five innings,
three runs is the worst you really get out of
a call.

Speaker 9 (41:06):
Yeah, so when you put pressure on a coll it
becomes a diamond.

Speaker 2 (41:09):
Oh good one.

Speaker 9 (41:10):
I don't even know how that relates to this, Sam
play the room shot on yourself, see.

Speaker 2 (41:14):
Yourself, see yourself off.

Speaker 1 (41:15):
So all right, hey, listen, we're gonna get to Spot's
midweek major in a little bit. But something that was
floating around social media, the sports world of social media,
had to do with a lot of these young quarterbacks.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
There was a meme in particular.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
I mean, I'll grab it if you want, if you
have it right there, But it just went over all
these young quarterbacks that are twenty five and under and
how such a little progress has been made this is
I believe it started with Sam Block the jack spot, Yeah,
and he posted about the development issue? Is it a
development issue with these young quarterbacks? Anthony Richardson twenty two

(41:48):
benched Bryce Young twenty three, benched, Trey Lance twenty four,
benched Justin Fields twenty five, benched Will Levis twenty five, benched,
Zach Wilson twenty five, benched Max jones Is twenty six,
benched can he Pickett? Yes he can? Twenty six benched
What is going on with these young quarterbacks?

Speaker 5 (42:08):
Now?

Speaker 1 (42:09):
That's a real crafty meme and a way to position
a lot of these young players. But to me, the
answer is obvious, and you also have to factor in that.
Isn't that always kind of the case. You know, some
guys make it, some guys don't.

Speaker 3 (42:21):
We've got a lot of great young quarterbacks too, right,
you could make the same list of all the great
young quarterbacks that have stepped up in the past few years.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Somebody did it.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Just highly impressive.

Speaker 9 (42:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:31):
Brian Cass replied to Block's tweet by saying, Caleb Williams
twenty two, starter, Jaden Daniels twenty three, starter, Stroud twenty
three starter, Party twenty four, Starter, Nicks twenty four, Lawrence
twenty four, Jordan Love twenty five, Hurts twenty six, Herbert
twenty six, and two twenty six.

Speaker 2 (42:49):
Yeah, so maybe it's not young quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
Maybe it's some stink Some don't listen every time you
throughout the history of the NFL, and I listen, the
NFL hasn't been around forever, and the NFL often the
way we see it now has not been around for
one hundreds of the years like other sports like baseball.
But Dan Byer, I know you're a student of the
NFL draft. You follow these things closely. When it's usually

(43:12):
qbs picked at one and two, historically, the joke is
always one will work out, one will not.

Speaker 9 (43:18):
Sure fifty Yeah, even the first round, you can say
is a fifty to fifty. It happens all the time.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
When a quarterback in the first round works out, is
an equally good chance that one of the other qbs
in round one will not. That's why I'm not surprised
by this. It's interesting to see them all combined in
one little list like that. But I think let's say,
let's say it used to be fifty to fifty, right,
and now it's sixty forty. You're still getting forty percent
of these young quarterbacks stepping up, and you're like, wow,

(43:45):
they're pretty good. They're pretty impressive. But I do have
a theory, and I think it's an obvious one as
to why maybe it's ten percent more leaning the other
way toward failure or toward benching. And I'll give you
my analogy of the music industry. We grew up all
of us in the music biz to some degree. A
lot of us got into radio because we loved music,
got into radio. We're also sports fans got into sports radio.

(44:08):
In the music business rich there was something called artist development,
meaning you sign a band, they put out an album
and like wow, man an album by the way, that
they worked on for years and perfectly crafted. And then
the artist development would help them develop their sound and
make sure that they were good for the next album,
and they would work with them and their image and
everything else and groom.

Speaker 2 (44:28):
Them to be these rock stars, the an R guy,
the A and R guy.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
But artist development, now you put out a song, an album,
and if you don't follow it up, you're done. And
that's the same mentality of the NFL. There's no time
for development. They throw them out there see if they
could swim, and if they can't, too bad, instead of
giving them the luxury of learning behind a veteran, you know,
sitting there and getting to know the league after a

(44:55):
few years. Some people get that luxury. Not all people
do so for them, grand opening, grand posen I mean.
And that's the issue of maybe as to why it's
sixty forty now where it used to be fifty to fifty.
And there's reasons for all the people on both of
those lists, the good list and the bad list. And
you could say the same, by the way, about comedians.

(45:15):
A comedian would work on a set and craft it
for years. A Richard Pryor, a Carlin, A Chappelle, a
Chris Rock, a Seinfeld. These guys would craft their their special.
Now you got guys that are really funny and women
that are funny, you know, the Sebastian Metascalcos or the

(45:37):
Amy Schumers of the world. They're asked to do another
hour special within a year of their previous one. I'm
not ready for the comic isn't designed to put out
a new hour special six months later. You got to
live life a little bit an hour an hour special.
The point is it takes time to develop, and you're

(45:58):
not giving a lot of these young quarterbacks the time.
He just throwing them out there. And it works for
some if they're in a great system, if they have
a great team, but it doesn't work for everybody. And
you know, think of all the quarterbacks that we said
we're done, but you give them another chance somewhere else,
maybe they're not. So is there a developmental issue? Is

(46:18):
there a development issue in the NFL? I think so
with quarterbacks now, if you want to go to Danny's list,
I feel like you could make an argument for each one.
And I don't want to be the guy that's like, well,
everything's circumstantial. But Rock Party found himself on a really
good team because he was the last pick. Jordan Love
sat for some years. There is a circumstance to some
of these guys.

Speaker 2 (46:37):
CJ. Stroud might be the anomaly, right, like he just
was better than we all thought.

Speaker 5 (46:41):
Sure.

Speaker 9 (46:41):
Absolutely, And the reason that Jordan Love sat for so
many years was because they had Aaron Rodgers at that position.

Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, but it gave them time to grow and feel comfortable,
like Patrick Mahomes or something, just a little time to
absorb what's going on.

Speaker 9 (46:56):
Not everybody has that. Yeah, And the other problem that
I the league is so quarterback driven now, where it
is so advantageous for Patrick Mahomes or a Tom Brady
to succeed. Everything is based on quarterbacks. Yes, think of
when we grew up. And I say that because I

(47:18):
think there are a lot of listeners our ages. We
talk about the eighty five Bears defense, the Giants defense
with Lawrence Taylor, different ways to win the game, the
Cowboys in the nineties running the ball with Emmett Smith
behind that offensive line. There are a variety of ways
to win games in the National Football League. I would
say that Rich's Niners are really the anomaly when you

(47:41):
look around the rest of the NFL on how to
win football games. Otherwise it is all quarterback based. Everything
is your quarterback needs to be good, and if he
is not good, you're not going to be good. There
aren't ways to like, hey, we'll hang our hat on
our defense. The great defense is in the league.

Speaker 1 (47:57):
And they're not waiting for you to figure it out
to be Yeah, you know, it's now or never when
it comes to these young guys, where back in the
day you give him a chance to develop. Like my
music analogy, there was artist development. There's no time for
player development in today's league.

Speaker 9 (48:14):
And I think that the Colts are able to make
this change because they have Joe Flacco, just like they
were able to make the change last year because they
had Gardner Minshew. And Richardson was hurt obviously last year,
but not every team has that quarterback that can fill
in and have that sort of role. I think Anthony
Richardson would benefit from a Jordan Love experiment of just

(48:35):
sit for three years.

Speaker 2 (48:37):
Just now.

Speaker 9 (48:38):
They could have control over him for five years if
they want, They could have three more years of trying
to develop Anthony Richardson into their quarterback. But now our
discussion is now do you move on to him and
try to find somebody else? And I just think that
that's pretty dangerous in this day and age of the NFL.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
Dan Byer, there's a comic Ronnie Chang who does a
whole bit about how impatient we are that we don't
even want Amazon Prime. We want Amazon now Prime now
like next day is almost enough. You want to click
the button and have your doorbell ring right after. Our
impatience is ridiculous I'll be honest because the other day

(49:14):
I got a new a new case from my laptop
when I travel, and I was like, Thursday, four days,
let me keep looking.

Speaker 2 (49:23):
I need one that's here first thing in the morning. No,
I don't.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
But our impatience is so off the charts that even
when we saw in the NFL draft the Atlanta Falcons said,
you know what, Kirk Cousins has a couple of years left,
wouldn't it be sweet to have Michael Pennox junior, who
we think is a solid guy behind them.

Speaker 2 (49:42):
Everyone's like, that's insane?

Speaker 1 (49:44):
Is it insane? Or are we just so used to well,
you got this shiny new toy, we need to we
need to play with it now.

Speaker 5 (49:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (49:51):
The Penick situation is just unique because, yeah, the Falcons
hadn't arrived yet, and you felt like if they got
another capable player, then they really would arrive. And so
I think that that's that's kind of a standalone you know,
standards a little different.

Speaker 2 (50:04):
But it is shocking to us like why would they do?
I mean, sometimes like the Jordan love thing, he's such
a young man, but because we're so impatient, we felt
like he sat in Green Bay for a decade. Yeah,
a couple of seasons.

Speaker 9 (50:17):
Well, Danny's Raiders and O'Connell got just as much of
a chance as Anthony Richardson did in Indianapolis. And one
was the what you know, fifth overall pick, fourth overall
pick in the draft, and what was O'Connell? What rounds?
Was he taking fourth? Something like that? Yeah, yeah, but
they're giving them the same amount of time. Like it's
just it's it's crazy. I know, I used to there

(50:38):
was a word that in our industry. I mean, it's
not like a secretive word. But when when Covino and
I were both in our early twenties, when we first met,
we were going on before we did a show together.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
We would bump into each other at auditions like MTV
vj's and all these silly things to audition for, like, yo, Covino,
you're gonna be the new uh, you know, the new
host of some cheese you know, game show or something.
We'd bump into each other and I would hear the word, dude,
we like what you're doing, but you're green, and I
would always be like, what does that mean green? You're
like you're just not ready, You're just you know, and

(51:10):
I would get like not offended by, but like bummed
about it. Guess what, looking back, I wasn't ready to
host some TV show when I was twenty two.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
You're ready when the when the universe says you were,
and I think we're some time.

Speaker 1 (51:23):
We're forcing these green twenty two year old players into
a starting role on a as quarterback on a team
that isn't ready because not only are they not ready,
the reason they got this number one top level pick
because they stunk somebody. These guys their young boys. For
the most part, they may need a few more years

(51:43):
to develop. So the question is based on this really
crafty list because again you could say that there's just
as many young quarterbacks that are thriving. But is it
a development issue or Danny g even posed or a
scouting issue, like is it that we have all these
false expectations on people that aren't really that good? Is
it maybe a scouting issue too? I think it's more

(52:05):
of a development issue, but it is an interesting question. Well,
Bryce Young on one of Danny's lists and listen lists,
are they can be made to make you look smart?
Like we're in a you know, less than a week
till an election you can make the same stat look
like it favors Trump or Harris. Numbers are made, you know,
the numbers can be manipulated easy. But what's not manipulated,

(52:27):
which is the facts, is that Bryce Young is twenty two,
twenty three. Last last year he was twenty two and
he was told, hey, here's the keys to the quarterback
position of a terrible team. I just think it's more
of an expectations problem. And like you said, lack of patients.
It's like TV shows, you know, Mike was talking about it.
Mike runs this place much like the music industry, where

(52:49):
you would give an artist a chance to develop. Right,
we don't have that time, patience, or effort or money
that we invest in these artists anymore. Seeing with these
young quarterbacks, you expect them to win now Prime Now,
the prime now mentality. How many TV shows come out
and they're not moving the needle, but yet you see
the potentials there, so they pull the plug on this

(53:10):
TV show. Years ago, there would have been so much
time and effort and money invested, they'd give it a
chance to at least breathe and develop. There happen in
today's world. There are shows we don't have the time
or patients or money. There are shows and listen. I
haven't watched much network television, but in the twenty twenty tens,
I remember my wife and I would watch a show
like three episodes deep. We'd be like, are the shows

(53:32):
all right? Come to find out like, oh yeah, the
first couple episodes didn't test well canceled. So for as
much as its developmental issue, I think it's also an
expectation that we as a society have that could be
the issue. It's like, we don't have the patients that
we used to and our expectations are way too high.

Speaker 2 (53:49):
Could be a lot realistic.

Speaker 9 (53:50):
One of the.

Speaker 1 (53:51):
Bonds that Spot has with Dan Byer and Iowa Sam
is that they're constantly quoting Seinfeld, a show that had
terrible ratings in season one, that if it were made
in a different generation, NBC would have said, yeah, this
isn't working. They let it develop, they let the audience
find it. They realize we got a good product here.

(54:13):
Look at that like a quarterback, right. Family Guys been
on the air for twenty years, but remember Family Guy
got yanked early on because they're like, yeah, this isn't working.
They made arrested development. No, yeah, another great example, right,
but yeah, I don't know. But again when you said this,
it's a combination of all the things. Could you know
you and Danny were pointing out because you could also

(54:34):
argue scouting. Someone said a Trey Lance where there wasn't
much tape on him, and they were like they won
based off of just pure like art athleticism, and oh
we have a little tape and he looks good.

Speaker 4 (54:46):
So it's a little of everything and rich when you
draft a guy like that because of the tools he has,
that's why you need to let him marinate behind a
vet to put it all together.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Yeah, not everybody gets that luxury, so it's a perfect storm.
Well then you got a little more failed young quarterbacks
than you had before, but there's still a lot of
young quarterbacks doing great.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
Right now, I want it now, I want it now.
It's usual when you need it. Yeah, you want immediate results.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
We have no patients, and these young quarterbacks are putting
in positions where they don't have a chance to succeed.
As Seinfeld would say, did you want long lasting or
fast acting?

Speaker 2 (55:28):
That's tough.

Speaker 8 (55:29):
Jerry, by the way, said it took him ten years
to write a joke, one joke. He thought about it
for ten years, isn't that right? I think I've heard
that story. Yeah, yeah, finally craft tuned. Well, thank you
guys for hanging out with Covino and Rich. That's us
Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We'll take these
phone calls.

Speaker 1 (55:46):
Let's go David in Missouri, CN ore the quarterbacks in
the NFL, the young dudes. Is there a development problem,
a patience problem? What do we got a scouting problem?

Speaker 2 (55:57):
What do you think, Dave?

Speaker 14 (55:59):
I think it could be a combination of a couple
of things. But I think one root issue is an
organizational thing because of a diehard Green Bay fan. Look
what we're doing with Malik Willis. The Times couldn't get
rid of him fast on us, and now he looks
like more of the best quarterback or backup quarterbacks in
the league.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Man, that is true. You always wonder like, what would
this guy? I mean, it's a fantasy we all have, right, Like,
take a quarterback that's struggling. My fantasy, isn't My fantasies
don't usually include that either. But no, there are some
quarterbacks who like, what if you give a Mandy Read
or Kyle Shanahan or someone someone like that. Would he
would he be a different guy. Ray if you get

(56:35):
Jared Goff, like Jared Gov's a great exit when he
played for was it Jeff Fisher? Yeah, and he looked
like a bust And then he got Sean McVay, and
then now and now Dave Campbell.

Speaker 2 (56:45):
Now he looks like a pro bowler. Yeah, he could
be the m v P. Yeah, Big Jim wrapped this
up in New York A big Jim.

Speaker 11 (56:52):
Hey, whoever picked that song? I was coming in from
the commercial break, give that person a raise?

Speaker 9 (56:56):
No, thank you very much.

Speaker 11 (56:57):
I mean it's perfect.

Speaker 9 (57:01):
He might get his nickname back. That's about it.

Speaker 11 (57:05):
So what's crazy is, like, like you said, when they
bring in these young guys that are on bad teams.
The other part, too, is that coaches are in that situation,
are about to lose their jobs. So if they start
thinking they got to bring the young guy in. I
look at the Packers and when they took Jordan Love,
it was a huge controversy, people talking about it for days.
He got the watch Aaron for what maybe two years

(57:26):
or so, which developed him and he could see that
and then but the hard part with that as well
is that you don't see as much, and he demanded
that contract and it's kind of you're taking a limb
to pay him that much money. So there's so much
that goes into it. But my big thing is that
coaches losing their jobs in GM, and the fans screaming
they want the person in, and the media, the newspapers

(57:47):
they put these kids in and they rush them.

Speaker 1 (57:48):
In the market a lot of pressure, You're right, and
by what you do by making a guy sit, the
last thought on this would be you are losing years
of production before you have to pay them. That would
be the only negative of letting a guys sit, Because
you're right, Jordan Love finally got a chance and I
was like, all right, now you gotta pay him.

Speaker 2 (58:06):
That's that's the only rub. All right, let's get into
it mid Week Major. Let's go.

Speaker 13 (58:12):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the week.
When mid Week Major Major. I love that we throw
sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas
and it's like the kids.

Speaker 14 (58:25):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 2 (58:26):
We definitely see in our score mid Week Major.

Speaker 4 (58:33):
Remix because we've got to give spody at least six minutes.
I got six looking at it talk seven minutes? Are
you hear the horns? That means you have made it
to the middle of the week before we hand things
over to the number one and only hosted a segment
like to roll the big Red Love Dice over there
in the main studio.

Speaker 2 (58:49):
Can I know, uh roll the nine seven if we're
in Vegas? That's good, but not right now.

Speaker 4 (58:59):
Hell yeah, that means Covino is gonna get the first take.
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person from
Scotch Plains New Jersey besides Judy Bloom spotty boy.

Speaker 2 (59:09):
I'll give you a few quick updates.

Speaker 3 (59:12):
So update on the big story of the day, those
two batcha gallops who stole the ball out of Mookie
Betts as I tried to will. The Yankees have stepped
up and they're turning this into a nice, awesome gesture.
Not only have they banned them for Game five, which
is the last home game of the season, but they're
announcing the tickets will be redistributed to a pediatric cancer
patient and his family.

Speaker 9 (59:31):
Midweeker.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Major, Oh, this major, because it's a big story of
the day. And they're doing the right thing. Gotta do
the right thing. But it's a very good pr move,
let's be real about it. So they're turning dilemmas into dilemonade.
And it was foolish to think that these Jabbroni should
be allowed back in the first place. And I keep
seeing like this prideful look of his dummy when he
popped the ball out, he looks at.

Speaker 2 (59:52):
It like, look what I did? What a dunce. I
think this is major.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Because they a situation that I thought was equal parts
disgraceful and funny, and somehow made a great story about
it where you get children's hospital, great spin.

Speaker 2 (01:00:09):
Family, And you know what, it makes.

Speaker 1 (01:00:11):
These idiots look less idiotic because now because of what
they did, a good deed will be done.

Speaker 4 (01:00:16):
Could you imagine if the cancer patient elbowed Mooki bets
into night's game.

Speaker 2 (01:00:20):
You know I'm rooting for that, all right, Rich.

Speaker 9 (01:00:25):
That was hilarious.

Speaker 3 (01:00:26):
That was hilarious, further proving how dumb Yankee fans are.
Let's go get to my next story. The fan who
caught Freddy Freeman's sixth in a row home run ball
last night. While he revealed that he has no regrets
in throwing the ball back on the field after catching it.
Marcus Klein, he contemplated holding onto it, but after you know,

(01:00:47):
getting the crowd going, throw it back, throw it back,
He's like, you know what, the team needs it more
than I do, and threw it back on the field,
giving away potentially, if they had one, a ball like
that could have sold for over one hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 9 (01:01:00):
So this guy midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
Life's a risk card. Now this is sort of a
mid story.

Speaker 1 (01:01:06):
You know, I don't like the thought of peer pressure
throwing away what could be a family fortune. But when
that ball was hit at a frustration, I probably would
have just threw it back too. Not peer pressure, just like, yeah,
you're Freddie Freeman. Ball out of my first Yankee fin
So I think it's a mid story. I didn't realize
it was a historical one, or it could have been.
To me, it was just a week home run spuggle

(01:01:28):
like a true moron. This is major because in the
moment I'm gonna use this.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
You really kept that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:34):
When I teach my kids about peer pressure and how
it's terrible, I'm gonna be like exhibit A.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
See this jerk. He threw away a ball because idiots
in the bleachers like, don't loop back.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
I wouldn't have done it from the peer pressure. I
would have done it from the disgust and disdain. Hey
itching to this guy. Hey kids, I could have paid
for your college. But don't worry. The bleacher creatures think
I'm cool. It's worth nothing. What is that ball worth?

Speaker 2 (01:01:57):
It's the gate.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
It's a record breaking home run. Consecutive home runs dreak
in the world at the hobby lobby for one hundred bucks,
probably ten grand, one hundred gand.

Speaker 4 (01:02:06):
It's something that's got to be one hundred grand.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
I'll give you a hundred chocolate bars one hundred dollars.
Give me a high five for that b didn't share.

Speaker 8 (01:02:14):
Didn't he share the record with somebody else when he
hit his fifth straight? That this was the record setting ball,
Give you know what to throw it back?

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
So the as your grandpon THERONX would have been like
to me, it's only worth with someone's willing to pay
you rolls for your.

Speaker 3 (01:02:30):
I teased it earlier the faith that you mentioned the
fact that the Jets are favored for tonight's game.

Speaker 2 (01:02:35):
Well, Thursdays, Tom I'm sorry Tomorrow night's game. Lets forget
it's my day.

Speaker 3 (01:02:38):
Perhaps it has to do with Aaron Rodgers tapping into
the what he calls the quote fountain of youth. Apparently
punter Thomas Morriseta passed along the secret to Rogers and
all it is and you can make this at home.

Speaker 9 (01:02:51):
Rich. I know you're you're.

Speaker 3 (01:02:52):
Always seeking ways to look you up, to stay young. Yeah,
mixing cayenne pepper and water. So he's been apparently gassing
up on cayenne pepper and water all week and it's
been turning them around. So you might want to bet
on Thursday Night's game. Mid week or major.

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Totally mid almost borderline week, and yeah, guessing up. You're right, Sam,
he's guessing up. Yeah, this is great. Get out of
here with your hot air, Aaron Rodgers. This does nothing,
This is doing nothing to help him win.

Speaker 2 (01:03:21):
Yeah, this is weak. Punks daily on, come on, we'll
tell you why it's a week.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Because I'm the guy that always tries to find these things.
There was a minute where I was like, I'm gonna
have turmeric, lemon and apple cider vinegar every morning. What
do you call your immunity boost? I do all this stuff?
Why does he call my dad for consultation? Who takes
a beat, beat pills and a golo? I don't help anyway,
that's for my prostate. I can't wait for tomorrow night.
Prostate helps important. Yeah, takes some golo and beat pills.

(01:03:49):
You know what will end on this? Since you don't
leave me any time.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
A teaser has dropped for the upcoming Philly Special Christmas
Party album, featuring a track by none other than the
Kelsey Brothers themselves called It's Christmas Time in Cleveland Heights,
which talks about wandering the streets and their hometown around
Christmas time. If you wonder what it sounds like the
Kelsey Brothers singing Sam take it away.

Speaker 15 (01:04:12):
Wander in the streets of my hometown chain most even
years since I've been home.

Speaker 3 (01:04:25):
Yeah, by al right, it sounds like Travis doing most
of the vocals, but Jason chiming in on the chorus.
Travis has jumped in with his brother in previous years,
but obviously getting more attention this year based on his
girlfriend Tyler Swift. No word on whether or not she'll
jump in for a remix Midweek or major. I'm good
on that it's mid I don't hate it.

Speaker 1 (01:04:45):
I'd rather listen to the Chipmunks Christmas album than these puffoons.
But uh, I thought you like the carpenters, greeting cars
have all.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
You know, they don't sound bad, but I'm not going
out to buy it.

Speaker 9 (01:04:56):
The sounds like soul glow it.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
I think it's major. I bet you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:59):
You know, if they want to raise some money for
some you know, kids or sick people or something, puts
Taylor Swift on a remix like Spot said, you'd sell
millions of copies and it'll be a funny story.

Speaker 2 (01:05:11):
And you know we all are you know, can't get
them over them. All she would have to do is
go Cleveland. Yeah, we'll get millions.

Speaker 1 (01:05:17):
Well, thank you, that was fun Midweek Major as we
turn it to damn buy it for an up date?

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
What's up?
