Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, I hope you had a show. Hey, two hit
kind of days so far nobody here in the staty
watched it, really, but hey, it was a nice win
to start off the season. A wasted opener in my opinion,
I do agree with that, like you're gonna give the
home opener to Tokyo at three am in the morning,
three am, I must be lonely. Match Fox twenty is

(01:30):
Rob Thomas watched three am KLF uh huh uh huh,
three am eternal.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Who's up at three am watching baseball?

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Nobody so after a World championship season that the Dodgers
had one for the ages, you would think that you,
Danny g the lifelong Dodgers fan, would get first DIBs
on watching the game.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Were you up at three am?

Speaker 5 (01:56):
Or I have to admit I did get up one time.
It was a bathroom break and I checked the score,
and right as I turned it on, it was the
overthrow and Osani came around to score to take the
lead two to one, and then I went back to bed.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
You know, four to one win over the Cubs.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Congrats to the Dodgers or middle leading World champs again.
You would think that you get to watch them on
opening day, but you can only see the highlights, unless,
of course, you're on Tokyo Time.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Tune in Tokyo. Yes, it was my favorite game.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
Let me tell you watching a game in the middle
of the night, or as you said yesterday, sometimes there'll
be an international fight.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
Oh right, where the time is all weird?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I mean, think about it when we were kids, Mike
Tyson Buster Douglas. That was in Tokyo. Yeah, but that
was late at night, like around It wasn't around three am.
It was like midnight ish. But it's sort of like
when you wake up on the West Coast and you're
not quite sure what the stock market looks like, and
you open your phone. You're like a big money, big money,

(02:55):
oh like because it's already started, already happened, and here
you are tuning in late.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But hey, congrats to the Dodgers.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
You are now one to zero on your way to
winning one hundred and twenty games and then hopefully choking
in the playoffs again. We're broadcasting live from the tire

Speaker 5 (04:53):

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Impossible?

Speaker 2 (05:04):
That's what But it's improbable, it's not impossible.

Speaker 1 (05:07):
What up dB?

Speaker 4 (05:08):
They say.

Speaker 6 (05:10):
What you should do then is just double your winnings
for every game, like if you could Now there are
games at the same time, but if you just doubled
your winnings from like say, starting from a dollar, if
you got imagine being on a sixty seven game heater right.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
Stand like exponential yestion.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's it's like you ever see those things like, hey,
would you take a big sum of money now? Or
what if I told you I'll give you a dollar,
but I double whatever day. That's exactly yeah, yep, right now.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I looked it up. I was was that right that
I say?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's one in nine point two quintillion. That's your chance
of guessing all sixty three games right.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Once March Madness begins.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
The elon on X is offering a trip to Mars.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
We don't. That's like when that's like when.

Speaker 4 (05:54):
You buy Mars if.

Speaker 7 (05:56):
Yeah, that's like when we used to have the mountain
dew and Pepsi points and they're like, yeah, you can
win this jet, this fighter that's why they made that
fighter jet. And then you're like someone actually tried to
do it and they're like, no, you actually can't have
this because that's against the law.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Honestly, when elon musk, he might as well say, yeah,
you you'll win Mars. You could win Mars if you
win if you get a perfect BRACKETRS is your great.

Speaker 4 (06:16):
I don't want to go there though, because we haven't
even sent anybody there yet.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Jeff Bezos could say, you know what, I will gift
you Amazon if you get the bracket right.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
One in nine point two is it again?

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Can I just catch in for property on Mars. I
really don't want to go quintillion. You're having a hard
time remembering that quintillion. But how often is something in
the quintillions?

Speaker 1 (06:35):
I mean, but you read the fact.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
Is this a part of the show today where we're
all going to go over our brackets?

Speaker 2 (06:41):
No, not at all, but I have to fill mine
out by tomorrow again tomorrow bracket challenge, and I good bet.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
Yeah. We got the first four games starting this afternoon.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
The madness begins now based on the madness. We're gonna
get to a bunch today. We're gonna talk some baseball.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Tracing, Organ's vomiting. We're gonna talk about.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Poor Tracy Morgan, Joey Callo or is it gallow it's
Joey Gallop Gallus.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
We're gonna talk about him.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
We're gonna talk about wearing your sports team's gear on
opening day, Shack Diesel trivia. I don't know how we're
gonna fit it all in, to be honest, but I
did want to bring up a question that I asked
you earlier. And I'll give our pals at barstool a
quick shout out. I heard them discussing this and I said,
you know what, I've had this thought before, so I'll

(07:29):
take it and bring it to our show. The question was,
how many NBA players that are active right now if
you put them on a sixteen seed team like a
Saint Mary's or something like that would win the whole thing.
Like if you said Lebron James, you're now on numbers

(07:50):
high over seventy five, closer to one hundred, probably NBA
Danny g Like if you said, no, undermine and underestimate
how next level great these guys are to be in
the NBA. If you took a random superstar, Gayan Scalabrini
could lead one of these teams to a championship. Maybe
not now, but you know, no, now he beat the Messiah,

(08:13):
George the Messiah in a street ball game, he still
could do it. But if you took a Jalen Brunson
or you know, a superstar in the NBA and put
him on a sixteen seed, how many guys do you
think are in the NBA now that could take a
sixteen seed all the way and just cruise to winning
a national title.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Like if you put Lebron James, like I said on SAT.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
My answer seventy five, because for every superstar on every team,
there's a guy who's almost as good, there's a number
two there.

Speaker 1 (08:45):
So I'm going seventy five.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
You always talk about the NBA's top seventy five of
all time. I'm just saying seventy five just because I
don't think it's a loan number. I think these guys
are superstars. They've made it to the NBA. They're superstars.
They're the best, all the best. So I think the
number is high, higher than you think, because again, there's
levels to the game.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
About how much men's practice squad.

Speaker 2 (09:11):
Think about how many great players don't make the NBA.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
These dudes made the NBA.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
And they excel in the NBA, So you got to
figure the numbers relatively higher than you probably think. That's
what I'm thinking. You're saying, again, how many players in
the NBA could lead a random team to a college championship? Right,
Dann Buyer, what's your initial instinct on this?

Speaker 6 (09:34):
Hyper Colmina saying seventy five percent of teams.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
He's saying seventy five current players, and.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
The current players, Okay, it's just that I'm picking any arbitrary.
He's just playing off of like the NBA's top seventy
five players. Just picking seventy five players currently a random number.
But I hear what you're saying.

Speaker 6 (09:50):
So if you put Nicola Jokicic on Saint Francis, Yeah Francis,
they alternately win the whole tournament without a doubt, I.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Would say zero.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
What you don't think you'll get?

Speaker 2 (10:05):
You don't think player Carmelo Anthony did it for Syracuse
at oh three.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
I know, but I'm just thinking of just one player.
I mean, Yoki would have to have seventy and thirty
for like a Saint Francis team to make a run.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
How do you stop that guy? How do you stop
How does a college nerd who's good at basketball, he's good,
but he's not great, who never sees and sniffs the NBA?

Speaker 1 (10:31):
How do you stop a ynest? I don't know.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
I don't have that answer, right, but I do think
that if you run pickup games, and that's what I
go to, Like, there's when you run pickup games, at
some point, maybe a team gets tired, maybe something happens.
Another team that's a little bit less will grab a game,
and then that team has to leave the court, and
so I would think that at some point there would

(10:54):
be one team.

Speaker 4 (10:56):
I'm not saying they would lose six.

Speaker 6 (10:58):
Games, but at one point in a game of basketball
where you only have one player of that caliber, yeah,
I would say.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
I think a guy like Jo Kich is a great example.
Because the NBA they lack big men. So think of college.
There's not a lot of great big men. If you
took Jannis onto the Koupo and put him on how
about this High Point University he was in the tournament?

Speaker 1 (11:21):
Could he lead them to I.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Think Jannis could take High Point University and be cutting
down the net in a couple of weeks from now.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Maybe you're right.

Speaker 6 (11:28):
You know where I would go the comparison because I
think that Syracuse still had top quality players around Camello.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
They did, and they had Beheimen good coaching. I get it.

Speaker 6 (11:37):
It's Stephen Davidson. So they made it to the Elite eight.
Yeah when and you talk about so like if you
put stuff on Davidson, now they'd win the whole thing. Yeah,
you're probably right, So maybe I should back off my zero.

Speaker 1 (11:50):
Like, maybe it's not seventy five.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
Yeah, I think Yeah, I'd go with i'd go with.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
I'm saying, honestly, my real answer, I said seventy five
be just because it's a fun number. I'm staying closer
to one hundred, but it's probably I'm thinking sixty, like
two per team.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
Again, to give props, I saw a big cat on
barstool talking to Caruso about this, and they were saying,
there's probably one or two guys per team in the
NBA that are that level. Because you got to think
the best of the best nineteen twenty year old college
kids would be out.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
Of their league even entering the NBA.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Sure, Like, how do they stop with Steph Curry just
from lighting it up? The NBA can't even figure it out.
Some college teams going to figure that out. Luca or
Jokic or you know, like you said, jayaln Brunson gets hot,
and these guys are putting up big numbers against others
gay I mean, Lebron James, Kevin Durant. I think all
these dudes would lead their team to a championship. Again,

(12:44):
it's a hypothetical. I'm not a big fan of them,
but it's a fun one.

Speaker 6 (12:47):
The reason I think that it's interesting is because don't
We always say, whoever the best team in college football
is that, well, how would they.

Speaker 4 (12:54):
Do against the worst team?

Speaker 6 (12:55):
And then then everybody comes out, all the former players
be like they'd lose eighty to nothing to to the
Tennessee Titans. But as a golf fan, when people think
that players are good, like there is a different level
to the tour pro. So in a one on one situation,
Peter Jacobson is a his career is over. He now

(13:16):
does a lot of TV. But he always said that
he was he was closer to Michael Jordan, or if
if you were to compare being a basketball player like
Michael Jordan because he loved to play golf, that Peter
Jacobson was closer to being Michael Jordan as a basketball
player than Michael Jordan was of him being a golfer.

Speaker 2 (13:34):
That's like, that's the sc Scalabrini always says, i may
have been the worst in the NBA, but I'm closer
to Lebron, closer to Jordan than you are to me.
Sure you know that was his thing too, and that
was always the fun bit with Scalabrini. You know, big
goofy white guy played in the NBA for quite a while.
His whole gimmick was shutting up haters online. Yeah, he
would take like these ballers, they'd like that. You would think, like, oh,

(13:57):
they'll battle him. He would blank them.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
He led him up.

Speaker 4 (14:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
So just an interesting hypothetical. So I think it's a.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
Good mix with five players as well, because there's one
that you'd still have four others around that if they
were schmucks, maybe you could.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
Yeah, what about this? What if you took Now, now
I'm going off the rail, so we could stop. But
I was gonna say, what if you took a w
NBA team and put one superstar in it? Would they
run the table?

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Like? What if it was the men's turn?

Speaker 2 (14:27):
What if you took like the LA Sparks and put
Kevin Durant on it, So it's Kevin Durant and the
LA Sparks.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Would they win? Would they win the NCAA tournament? Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Man, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
Everyone everyone loves you. Everyone loves to chauvinistically say, like,
you know what, men's the high school basketball team would
whoop the w n b A And that's likely, But
what if you took Kevin Durant and put him with
Cameron Brink and the ladies for the l A. Sparks
and said, all right, you're now in the Sweet sixteen.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Take it away.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I don't know, it's interesting something to think about. Dumb thoughts.
I had thoughts you have when you're on edibles. I mean,
what on a random Monday night when you're hanging around Yeah, perfect,
I get it. So anyway, I hope you're enjoying your Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (15:12):
So what if you could pick an animal to the.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Yeah, how far do you think you got?

Speaker 2 (15:18):
Have?

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Teen Wolf was on your team, but you also had
to have chubs on your team.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
All right, Speaking of basketball, I'd say let's start with this,
but we already started last night.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Tracy Morgan, did you see this guy?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Ain't nothing wrong with a little opulence. Astronaut Jones himself
court side at the next game. By the way, I
don't think enough people appreciate Astronaut Jones one of the
greatest SNL characters in my opinion, right up there with
some of the most legendary skits planet.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
I'm a big fan of Astronaut Jones Hockett. I'm on
a rocket. Astronaut Jones is fantastic astronaut. He sang it
at the SNL.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Fifty so Tracy Morgan court side, and it's a sad
video because you see that feeling that we've all had
where like oh no.

Speaker 1 (16:08):
One, oh no, you know what.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
The sad part of the story is he barfs all
over the court. He's court side and he barfs and
everyone has it on video. My immediate thought, and I
feel ashamed to even think it. I was like, he
probably drank too much, because it could happen to anybody. Yeah,
But then I found that he's sober, right, So I'm like, yeah, here,
I am assuming, Yeah, he probably had a little too

(16:30):
much drink and it happens. I'm not judging him, but
it happens. It's just embarrassing because he's a celebrity. Instead
it was some bad food. Instead, Yeah, he really did
get food poisoning. And even when I heard food poisoning,
I thought to myself, yeah, likely story.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
He was boozing, that's the truth. Sober.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Yeah, So I'm happy to hear that he's okay, but
it doesn't take away from how embarrassing that way.

Speaker 4 (16:52):
Paul Pierce wheelchair was awesome.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
They pull out a wheelchair for the guy and they
wheel him off the court because he barfed.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
All over him.

Speaker 2 (17:04):
You know, I just wanted to let it be Know,
it could have been worse. I thought about this, What
if Tracy Morgan getting sick at the garden maybe I'm
pregnant created a ripple effect a la Goonies.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
This was horrible.

Speaker 7 (17:19):
All the people started getting sick and throwing up all
over each other.

Speaker 1 (17:24):
Bar I never know so bad of my entire life.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Imagine Tracy Morgan, maybe I got morning sickness at the nighttime.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Maybe eighteen thousand people are like, no.

Speaker 7 (17:35):
That's infamous scene from Stand by Me. Yes, oh contest, yeah,
lard Lara.

Speaker 2 (17:42):
So it really is the worst. I mean, that's the
downside of being a celebrity. You can't pick your nose,
you can't really do anything in public, you can't throw
up a courtside at MSG and you're famous.

Speaker 4 (17:54):
And this is a winning Knicks team.

Speaker 3 (17:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:56):
Can you imagine there would have been more vomit had
this been the Knicks? What six seasons exactly?

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Well, to put a little bow on the conversation, we
wish Tracy Morgan well, and he did tweet from the
doctor's office, saying that on the bright side, the Knicks
are now one to zero in games. He's vomited, so
the congratulations to the next Yeah, we're happy. By the way,
just so you know we're fans. Rich and I fun fact,
actually got to sing Astronaut Jones with Tracy Morgan, one

(18:22):
of our favorite bits on SNL. We had him on
the show. Yeah, and we said we're a big fan
of Astronaut Jones. We sang it with he started just
singing it. We're like, let's do it. I knew every word.
I was proud of myself. So I'm a big fan.
But I did think immediately that man, he must have
had a little too much of the uh grandpa's cough
syrup of the costs here, like Jason stut we were
talking about this was Jason Stewart, producer of The Gayleep Show,

(18:45):
and he's like, no, he had to be on drugs.

Speaker 7 (18:47):
Like, oh, I don't know, maybe he was just sick.
He's like, no, he's on drugs or hey, he's sober.
I guess that goes food poisoning.

Speaker 2 (18:53):
But you know what what Jay Stu said and what
Cavino thought is the common sentiment like when someone gets
You're like, yeah, either.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Be drinking or boozing or drugging.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
It's like no, like he just got caught in that
moment that unfortunately we've all been in our very own.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
Colin Cowherd, what like a month or so ago, remember
right before the show?

Speaker 7 (19:12):
Yeah, yeah, mid show Colin's like no, yeah, first segment
of the of the show.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
Remember that he's like Eagles Chiefs in a week.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
She right, we got to go to break because I'm right, guys,
my stop, Oh hold up, I'll be back like it happens.

Speaker 7 (19:24):
No, I had eleven minutes coming back from Iowa. I
had eleven minutes to catch my connecting flight and I
had to go from one concourse to another so I
wouldn't got on the train.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
I was sprinting.

Speaker 7 (19:33):
I had about fifteen gates to go with about one
minute left, and I was like, I have to stop
because I almost booted it right there. And I almost
threw up right there in the airport because I was
cardio is your reason? Well, yeah, that was obviously an issue,
but I was really booking it and I almost booted it.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Imagine that I was sam like on you know that
that moving walkway.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
That's what I was on. I was like, I felt
bad that.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
You're running an incredible rate, Harry.

Speaker 5 (20:00):
The Knicks actually had to come out and say we'll
invite him back to the garden, and I was like, oh,
that's that stinks that they had to put out a
statement welcome back.

Speaker 2 (20:10):
And by the way, it wasn't just a little bit.
I don't know if everyone saw the clip, but it
was projectile. Yeah, it was pretty significant. So a real
embarrassing moment because again they had to like pause for
a little bit clean up.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
It was court side, right on the court nosebleed.

Speaker 6 (20:25):
He also had a nosebleed like with it, so it's
fit like, yeah, serious.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
It was, so there was there was genuine concern at
one point, and it was really serious. He had his
face in the towel and the wheelchair there. But at
first I really did think it was like a Paul
Pierce sort of moment where it was like kind of
stage like, all right, let's get him out of here.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
But he really was sick.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
As the story goes, so wishing him well and have
to acknowledge it and we're all human and things happen
and there you go, no doubt well. Listen, coming up
right here, Fox Sports Radio, Cavino, Rich Dodgers Cubbies happened
while most of us were sleeping. So you see in
the highlights on TV right now, do you notice the
It's they're almost like paying homage to old school baseball.

(21:09):
Dan Byer would appreciate this because him and I notice
these things where guys like Cavino don't. Maybe you're more
of a Rich Davis guy than you think, Dan Byer.
You notice the dirt just around the bases a la
like the Expos Old Stadium and the Twins. Like remember
some of those domes that just have they would have
the dirt only around the base. That's old school. I
don't think any stadium about Toronto. Did they still have

(21:31):
that in Toronto? No, I'm saying you forgot that Toronto
had that as well.

Speaker 4 (21:35):
But yeah, but now they don't, not in not in Toronto.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
No. But last night this well went down where we
were sleeping, and there were some takeaways from day one
of Major League Baseball. And I have an observation of
the Fox Sports employees that are all Dodgers fans, and
I'll explain next right here, Fox Sports Radio Tuesday with
Cavino and Rich.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Now tires matter. Rich, You see my prelip zeros pretty sweet?

like Rob Thomas. I love Matchbox twenty.

Speaker 1 (23:05):
Screw you.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
Three am. The Dodgers must be on three am. It
must be time for the world defending champions. Three am.

Speaker 4 (23:16):
I see what Iowa Sam did there. You brought the
song up earlier, so I was like, I'm a little recall,
let's play it.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Three am. I must be lonely. Where show heyo Tani?

Steve Covino at Steve Covino on social Media at Rich
Davis at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. We
got Danny Gradio super producing getting ready for Shack Diesel
Trivia giving away prizes today on a Tuesday, Iowa Sam

(23:59):
has a hot take about the Dodgers game.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's three am there's a Tiasca Hernanders.

Speaker 7 (24:04):
I have a hot little takyo about that game in Tokyo.
I just want to share it's actually your take. You
on it'll takyo about that game in Tokyo. Me and
Bershing are kind of co sign on this opinion. But
it's not a whole like like I know, people are like, well,
it's you know, why is it getting Opening Day started
like this? And it's not a lot different than like
Notre Dame going over to Ireland and playing a game

(24:26):
over there and that's week zero, Like this is this
looks like college football to me, I don't hate it.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I don't hate at the same way the NFL when
they had the game between the Eagles and the Packers started.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Where was that in Brazil? Right?

Speaker 2 (24:40):
I mean, I get it, you're trying to expand the game.
I don't hate it.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
It's a week zero of baseball, and people celebrate opening
Day differently for MLB, like it doesn't have the same
hoopla around college football when you start on like the
first Saturday of September or late August.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
I agree, there is there is something special about opening
day baseball, and I think that's why, like old school
fans like.

Speaker 7 (24:59):
Opening day is ever everyone's playing at the same time
on the same day. It's going to be more and
more like college football, where it's gonna be like week zero,
week point five, and then the actual start.

Speaker 1 (25:08):
I don't hate that.

Speaker 5 (25:09):
What is weird though, is it's like it's an extension
of spring training almost because you start and then you
seems like you stop again and start.

Speaker 1 (25:18):
That's that was my take.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
That's the part that is hard.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
What's weird to me is that while the Dodgers already
have a you know, a win in the you know,
a w in the win column, other teams are still like,
it's spring training.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Guys are it's weird.

Speaker 7 (25:31):
It's just it's too far away though to you can't
fly over there, play a game and then just get
right back in there. I've actually been in Japan and
went there when I was a teenager, and the jet
lag is real. It is very real.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Is that when you were modeling internationally I was.

Speaker 6 (25:46):
I was.

Speaker 7 (25:48):
Little blonde kid fifteen years old, and I was taller
than most of the men there.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
Yeah, I was like not tall people.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
But I was like towering over them. But just to think,
like right now, as we speak. The Angels and Reds
are playing in England's game you had ten hours ago.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
Dodgers are you know, playing for something seating the cups?

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, so they played its official but they played at
three am.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Now, Rich, before we get into the Joey Gallows story
and reinventing yourself, Yeah, and the Dodgers Jerseys. Can I
just tell you as a Yankees fan, I'm never the
pessimistic type of guy. I'm never the fan that says
they suck and mad about it. But I really do

(26:33):
think that unless they make a significant move, and again
we're talking about the team that played the Dodgers in
the World Series, unless they make a significant move, soon
their seasons washed before it even starts. And you see
a lot about this on social media, my algorithm especially,
but I don't hear a lot of people on Fox

(26:54):
Sports necessarily talking about it. How significant the injuries have
been for the Yankees. They're the team that you think
have a shot to come back. You and I bet
one thousand dollars on who'd have a better record The
Yankees are the Mets, you know, sort of liking that bet,
you got no heel? Right, who was the Rookie of
the Year last year, at least, no heel for now.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
No heel on the heel, no heel.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
You got Clark Schmidt who's saying he can't be ready
because he's clawed injured. You got Jean Carlos Stanton with
bad elbows. How much Tennis was this guy playing in
the offseason? No Garrett Cole, no Roger, no Rerun, no Rent.
It's not looking good for Los Yankees. Derreck Cole out
for the season. Maybe they should such shaving again. Their

(27:40):
best slugger, the only guy that really stepped up last
year in the postseason. Stanton out at least for now.
I don't know how they're gonna do it unless they
make a significant mood. If they got no one at
third base, they got nobody at third base.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
DJ. You're banking on DJ Lemayhew and his and his
hurt tootsies. Well, if it makes you feel.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Any better, Wan Soto has five home runs in spring
training and he's beat in like four hundred. Oh and
Clay Holmes is starting on opening down. That's the reason
I bring it up. When you got teams that are
so uber stacked nowadays in a very competitive Al East, obviously, right,
those are good teams in the Al East. But you
got the Dodgers, you got the Phillies, you got the Mets.

(28:20):
The Mets really have a golden opportunity to seize this moment,
not only because you have won Soto, but because all
of these stars and the Yankees don't look like they're
gonna be able to step up.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
So as a fan for the first time.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Where I'm actually really usually anticipating the star, I'm like, man,
they're doomed. Nah, listen, man, as less something happens the Yankees, Dodgers,
there's teams that always have high hopes every year, but
when you are riddled with injuries, no matter what sport
it is, you got to just keep in mind so
many teams make the playoffs now, and baseball has caught up,

(28:54):
not necessarily to the level of the NBA or the NHL,
where under five hundred teams make the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
But dude, it's it's March. What is it, March eighteenth?

Speaker 2 (29:05):
But Garret Cale's not coming back. Dude, He's got Tommy
John He's got the surgery. So it's not like, oh, well,
you get him in the postseason. Is on Tommy huh Tommy,
Yes like that.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Hey, as.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
The owner John, you got the Tommy Tommy John. That
sounds like he's got appendicities. He's got Tommy John, Tommy John.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Tommy John. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
You know, I'm not as optimistic radiohead style as they
usually am. That's great, but you just blew my mind
that we all say Elton John, but we say Tommy
Tommy John. Two people with John last name. But we've
decided the emphasis. Yes, we've determined that somehow Elton John,
but it's Tommy John, Tommy Yeah, Tommy John. Interesting anyway,

(29:52):
I think, uh, I think.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
We need a time out to go to Dan Byer.

Speaker 6 (29:55):
It annoys me when people call him the Green Bay Packers.
It's you would go Green Bay like we would emphasize
the Bay this series.

Speaker 1 (30:04):
Where are they from? Are you a New Orleans guy
or New Orleans?

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Well?

Speaker 4 (30:08):
I was New Orleans until I was told it is not.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
No one said Louisville better than Dan Byron Louisville.

Speaker 4 (30:16):
Yeah, eight els.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
He's the league leader. You're pal manci Blago. So I
love when she says Timberwolves. That's my favorite.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
That or Cardinals the rule crdinals little, that's a me
and Moncey Combo there. I do have some news from
college basketball. ESPN is reporting that Indiana is targeted West
Virginia's Darien Davrees to be their next men's basketball coach.

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Now.

Speaker 6 (30:42):
Earlier in the day, ESPN reported that Devrees was not
going to be a candidate at Iowa is they are
looking to replace fran McCaffrey.

Speaker 4 (30:50):
But something to watch here. Nothing official.

Speaker 6 (30:53):
West Virginia, obviously left out of the field of sixty eight,
could be to Indiana's benefits. ESPN reports that that's who
Indiana's target is. First four games in Dayton, Ohio, opening
round of the NCAA Tournament begins an hour from now.
Alabama State and Saint Francis will tip at six forty
Eastern time. Two sixteen seeds, then a battle of eleven

(31:14):
seeds with San Diego State taking on North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Winner gets ole miss.

Speaker 6 (31:17):
On Friday in Milwaukee, Duke freshman Cooper Flag, along with
Auburn forward and I Broom unanimous picks to the Associated
Press All American First Team in men's college hoops, Eagles
defensive end Brandon Graham officially announced his retirement from the
game after fifteen seasons and two Super Bowls, two Super
Bowl titles. Guys, he played the most games ever in
an Eagles uniform. Brandon Graham calling it quits today. Viking

(31:41):
signed free agent corner Jeff Acuda. Patriots signing former Viking
center Garrett Bradbury and two other notes. Texas Rangers have
signed veteran pitcher Patrick Corbyn, and as you guys have
talked about, Dodgers top the Cubs today in Tokyo four
to one.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Back to you, well, thank you, dB. Now, I know
it's not going to be in the Major League Baseball season.
They sampled it in spring training and you're seeing it now.
The quick challenge for the strike, he will tap on
the helmet. I don't hate it much, like a lot
of these changes. What are they limited to a couple
per game?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Right? Yeah? I liked it.

Speaker 2 (32:13):
Jazz Chisholm just did the most baller move and it
worked out because it could have made him look like
an ass. It was a full count and low outside,
tight pitch.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Umpire wrung him up.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
And Chazz Chisholm, Jazz Chisholm, Chaz just Jazz Chisholm. Keith
Hernandez always says it wrong too. Not only does he
tap his helmet, throws his bat in the on deck circle,
takes off his pads, runs the first base like he's
so certain and.

Speaker 1 (32:40):
It was ballfour.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Wow, but like he could have looked like an ass clown.
But yo, he knew he has the eye. He's like, no,
that's not that's not strike theory. So tap tap, tap,
without hesitation, run the first base. Oh, I am excited
about baseball, just that excited about the Yankees, excited just
to be talking about it. Congrats to the Dodgers, and
and you know there is a question what if they

(33:02):
lost today? Rich had a bone to pick with some
of the Dodgers fans here in the studio. Yeah all
you all you front running not really they live in
l A. But all you Dodgers fans from Danny the
big mic who runs this place?

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Who?

Speaker 4 (33:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Yeah, So I want to I want to.

Speaker 2 (33:25):
I want to ask a question about all the Dodgers
fans here. Next as baseball begins, Fox Sports Radio, Cavin
on Rich baseball, Mmm, what's up? Fox Sports Radio Nation,
Covin on Rich. The number if you want to chime

(33:46):

Speaker 2 (34:35):

Speaker 1 (35:42):
Now, now, Rich, you want to tell us about your problem?
You got a problem for Chrich is saying he's got
a problem.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
I do have one question and it's a yes or no,
and then we could I could tell you my problem.
Oh you brought up Tracy Morgan and astronaut Jones, those
two astronauts that were just saved. Do you think at
any point they were like so lonely that they were like,
you want to have space loving.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
She looks like she aged ten years on the one trip, so.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
You think she's like, I look like amazing quickly, I
might as well try to make love to this man.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
You think this happens at all? Or no? Nothing? No?
Can you take your space suit off.

Speaker 6 (36:19):
And do that?

Speaker 2 (36:21):
I mean, how do you bathe have a sports related
space question? Did you see that clip of the dude
that throws himself a pitch, hits it, and then catches it.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
Are you talking about a bugs Bunny cartoon? No, but
you know, with the gravity of outer space, you don't that.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
No, it's so cool because I would want to do
that if I was floating around in space. I love
Dan Buyer throwing his headphone, so clearly he has some
outer space insight.

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Now let's talking about space love here.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
No, the thing that I was going to say is
that the thing is there's cameras everywhere. They're being watched,
so that would be, I think the tricky part, except
if you were I guess to relieve yourself.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
I don't know what they have for a.

Speaker 1 (37:00):
Bathroom only fans and out of space think of the money.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
The prophits be a little awkward taking off your space
pants in front of all those people, but they're not
in there.

Speaker 4 (37:09):
They're not in the space walk outfit the whole time.

Speaker 6 (37:12):
They're there like in like a polo shirt, so they're
not like they're not geared up for two hundred and
fifty five straight days.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I'm just saying, if people get you know, if people
get all riled up after two weeks on a reality
dating show. Imagine nine months you and one other person.
They they must start to look good, no matter who
they are.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
That's all I'm saying. So space love here on being known.

Speaker 5 (37:32):
Right, they have vacuum toilets with a funnel for urination
and a seat for number two.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
It's like the perverted bugs.

Speaker 2 (37:39):
Bunny thought. Remember when the guys were stranded on the island.
The fat guy looked like a hamburger, and then the
skinny guy looked like a hot dog because they were
on the islands. They were so hungry. Yeah, they were
so hungry they wanted roast rabbit. If you're trapped in space,
even with the most average looking person, after a while,
they might start looking pretty good.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
It's true.

Speaker 2 (37:57):
That's richest thought here. I love my women looking like
broom Hilton. Yeah all right, so sorry, Let's go back
to my Dodger thought.

Speaker 1 (38:04):
Let's do it.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I walk into work today, Danny G's got his Dodgers
hat on Big Mic Who runs his place?

Speaker 1 (38:11):
Who you know the guy that runs.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
I Heart and premiere ready on Networks? I think you
got a raise? Is any and a promotion? It doesn't
even run everything? Then and he runs pawn Stars.

Speaker 4 (38:20):
He runs Premiere Networks as well.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Yeah so Big Mike, Danny g and R pal Bersch
Editor Supreme, and I'm sure a bow as well.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Everyone is wearing their Dodgers gear.

Speaker 4 (38:33):
It's Opening Day.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
But I ask you this, since the game was on
at three am. Had the Dodgers lost, would you have
Warrior Dodgers.

Speaker 5 (38:42):
It's still Opening Day even after an l It's just
one game, So who cares if you lose the first game?

Speaker 4 (38:47):
It's not a big game.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
I think as a fan you have to rock your
gear on Opening Day. That's a fair thought. I'm just saying, like,
for instance, regardless, call me a man with mil jebels,
but when the forty nine Ers lose me, we do
behind your back all the time. Every time I leave
the studio and Dan Buyer comes in here. Is that
what you guys say? M hm okay, there he goes
the man with no wavos. If the Niners lose a

(39:09):
close game on Sunday, I'm not wearing a forty nine
Ers T shirt or a hoodie.

Speaker 1 (39:15):
Why has it a fact your fandom the one game play?

Speaker 4 (39:19):
You're not right?

Speaker 5 (39:20):
And isn't that when the team needs their supporters the
most then you.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Know, maybe I just suck.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yeah, we tell you that all the time when we
talk about fair Weather fandom. We thought about this so
many times. So like a real fan is a fan
no matter what win or lose. I know, and ask
what you're celebrating. Take the temperature of the room, Meaning
like if if the Mets get eliminated in like a
Game six against the Dodgers, I'm not wearing my Mets

(39:46):
jersey that next day. It's run its course, great season,
but I'm not rocking it the day after an l
I My thought is, you go to the gym, you
walk going around town. If you wearing a losing jersey,
I just feel like you give it a day rest
if you're a guy that wears a lot of sports gear.
So it is an interesting question that only pertains to

(40:06):
this particular moment because they played at three am.

Speaker 1 (40:09):
So by the time you woke up, you did have
a decision.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah, everyone else next week, when it's really opening Day,
could wake up, you know, put on their jeans and
their Jordan's and put on their baseball shirt.

Speaker 1 (40:19):
Yeah, you don't know what's gonna happen, but you knew
what happened.

Speaker 2 (40:22):
But of course the Dodgers win, so I know, but
I had the Dodgers loss, would Big Mike could.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
Be like, I'm gonna wear my salmon button down instead?
He said no, Actually, he said.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Your team plus you're you're representing the fact that they're
defending champions. Your thoughts, your feedback will take it. Next
at Cavino and Rich at eight, seven, seven, nine to
nine on Fox, plus Shack Diesel Trivia coming up.
