Yeah, the CNR Experience. Is that what we're calling it?

casual Friday. I'd love that. I thought that. Yeah, extra
casual on Friday. I love this so casual. I got
my gym outfit. Check it out. Straight from the gym

(00:40):
the gym. We're gonna get some some NBA rapie aldever's

game today. Yeah, we got prizes. But I want to
throw it out there real quick, right quick. I said,
the CNR Experience. We love hanging with you guys every day.
It's the best part of our day as far as
experiences go. Would you say Star Wars at Disney Cars
(01:03):

throw one more in there. I'm not a fan of
the brand, but if you've seen it, you'll know what
I'm talking about. Avatar World or whatever it's called. Avatar
Land in Disney World in Florida, it's insane. What about
Super Mario, That whole world they got going on at Universal.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Cars Land at California Adventure Park is right up there.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
That Bride Street that's a top five rod. What experience
is the best besides ours? I don't know. Leave it
to the Fox Sports Radio Nation eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox, the most inclusive show, most interactive show
on radio, the world famous Cavino and Rich. We got
Danny g super producing ge Happy Friday is right eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox. That fuzzy headed Nini Muggins
(01:50):
known as Iowa. I'm sorry Javier from Iowa.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
I've got the product in my hair today, so it's
not fuzzy. I am hovio O heavy hair. Javier.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We found out that Iowa Sam's confirmation name yesterday we
were talking about the Pope and everything. His confirmation name
was Javier. The lightest guy you've ever met.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Look at the top of your rundown. I printed off
for you are Sam Twitter handle top, but I put
at Javier Sam ninety nine.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Jaber Sam, I don't know if you could ever live
that one down. I love it so much, Savier. And
of course DB's got your updates, we got prizes, we
got fun taking away to Richard broadcasting life from a
Fox Sports radio studio. Before we get into the fun,
I have one last thing about the seeing our experience
and all those fun parks. I realized that when your
kids get involved, I know you love that expression, get involved,
(02:45):
getting involved, bro. Then your buddies used to say that,
and that meant like going to meet girls and drinking
and stuff. Getting involved. This weekend involved getting involved. When
your kids get involved travel, baseball, travel, soccer, softball, heat,
you know, all these travel gymnastics. I don't think families
can vacation the way they did in the eighties and nineties,
(03:06):
because I know families that for the next couple of
months are like, well sorry, every weekends of you know,
some tournament and if you go, your kid falls behind.
I get it. It's it's why I don't want your
kid to miss out. I only had one rule as
a kid when we were playing summer all Stars. My
coach is like, on game day, you can't go to
the pool because you'll show up to the game all
(03:27):
like lethargic and you were in the sun all day.
So he would make sure none of the team went
to the pool on you know, a tournament game. But
that was the only rule. Now I feel like my
daughter's having a birthday party in a week half. Her
team is like, we're we're doing summer travel. Well, you
can't make it any like it. Why do the coaches
in these travel leagues expect the parents to do. If
(03:48):
the parents have to go away somewhere, that's their one
time of the year where they can take a vacation. Look, vacation,
that's I was gonna say. Growing up, we didn't take vacations. Really,
that's just not how I grew up. We weren't summering
in the Hampton's or anything like that. We went to
sesame place that was a big deal. You went to
Hershey Park, or we went to the Jersey Shore, right,
(04:09):
So it was never an issue for me. But let's
say you parents want to go to the way, what
do they expect the kids to do? Sorry, no family vacations.
Tournament in Santa Clarita the street. Plus you're paying an
arm and a leg just to get these kids enrolled.
Now you can't travel, you're basically driving them everywhere. Hey,
(04:30):
it's your life, bro, Now we're never you said it. Yeah, baseball, basketball,
Belichick a lot to get to. So let me kick
it off. No waiting, no dilly dialing. Let me ask
you about this. We were talking about the Knicks Celtics
Game three. By the way, do we officially get confirmation
Paul Pierce did walk twenty miles to work? Hey, so
(04:52):
I see, you know, so not winded, Like that's like
Forrest Gump running like I'm gonna start now, Like that
does look like a man that rans twenty If he
didn't do.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
It, at least he put the production value effort into
what he did yesterday.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Agreed, Danny g Can I share a little information here? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So Sean Merriman, former San Diego Charger, friend of the show,
Friend of the show, Sean Merriman, he tweeted out this
was at eleven oh nine Pacific time last night. He
said mad respect a little at Paul Pierce, and then
he screenshoted a grock AI summary and it says that
the step count of thirty three thousand and four to
(05:29):
sixty five from Paul Pierce on May eight, twenty twenty
five appears genuine based on available evidence. And it goes
on to he publicly committed to walking fifteen to twenty
miles after the Celtics loss, and then he says, and
then the grock AI summary says news outlets like n
ees N and TMZ, along with his own social media
confirmed he completed the journey, which took about eight hours. Yeah,
(05:50):
happy too, point two mile route and he shared a
map of the route.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
And he is the truth. You know it true and
you got to commit to bit. Have you ever seen
that sports documentary about the woman that cheated on the marathon? Yeah,
she took the subway. The subway popped out of the
finish line. Yeah, that's a great move. But speaking of
Paul Pierce, Celtics, will they recover Game three? They have
(06:16):
to at the Garden, New York City. That's gonna be
the hottest ticket. It's going to be rocking, man, it's
gonna be insane. It's gonna be such a scene and
it's the hottest ticket in town. Look, we're from the
East Coast. You guys know that. But we're out here
in the mean streets of La Live from the Barrios
Covino and Rich. But all of our friends, my brother,
his friends, they're all trying to get that ticket because
(06:38):
the Knicks are hot right now and the Celtics are coming,
former champs, defending champs coming to the garden, celebrity status,
high ticket prices, and last night checked like six point
fifty for the weak ass seats. I gotta check it
right now. You Well, well you checked with love or
(06:59):
seat geek, weak ass just actually starts weak ass seat
and then see what comes up. Yeah, they were like
six to seven hundred dollars. So here's my question. If
you are in a city where your team is hot
and that ticket is expensive, how much of a purchase
does it need to be before you run it by
(07:20):
the wifey, the girlfriend, the husband, the boyfriend, Like, what
do you have a limit where you need to run
it by the other person. Well, we have a rule.
It's an old rule. Prices have gone up, inflation, triflation,
everything's kicked in. Times are different. Our old rule used
to be this, if you're a dude and you're making
your own money. But again, respectfully, you have a wife
(07:44):
and you're trying to keep her posted on your purchases.
If you're out and about, and let's say you're at
a best Buy or at a PC Richards. Is this
also two thousand and five you're at a circuit City Guys,
you're at an electronics store, right, Yes, that place. We
used to say anything over five hund doh had to
be run by your wife. We're not saying ask permission,
(08:07):
but we used to say you'd run it by out
of respect. So you don't just show up. You're at
home in a big giant box and you didn't even
tell her about it. But nowadays too, how many boxes
do you show up to every day at home? It's
like those rules were out the window. No one ran
those prices by you. I remember this came up because
I bought a car once Danny I decided I need
a new car. I went to the dealership and Kevin
I was like, oh, what does your wife thinking about?
(08:28):
Oh I haven't told you yet. It's like you bought
a car. I'm like, yeah, it's not a permission thing.
It's like, hey, I'm just running it by, letting you
know so we used to say five hundred was the
limit for that.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
I would say with inflation, it actually makes each dollar
we have more valuable. So three hundred dollars right now
is the mark where me and my wife let each
other know. Yeah, this was over three hundred dollars, just
so you know, that's a good point, man. Yeah, so
what is that number now? If Knicks tickets are six
seven hundred dollars a ticket for the weakest seat, you
just buy those and not run it by anybody.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Ye have your wife's like I'm going to Beyonce with
my girlfriends? Do you do you feel like it's here's
a light to say, by the way, say you can.
I think you can, because again we said times have changed. Right,
how many boxes, honestly a week or packages come in
the mail that you had no clue of They weren't
ran by you or discussed in any way at all.
(09:23):
And yeah, maybe some of it's for the house, but
half of it you don't even know what's in that package.
No one cares about you when it comes to orders matter.
So doesn't matter if you think that change the rule
doesn't matter if you were her as the breadwinner. No,
because if you're in a committed relationship, right, it's respect.
It's sort of just a respect sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I don't think you need to but they chip away
forty dollars at a time.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
But it all adds up. And I know it, right, Yo,
all that adds up if you're making one purchase, think
about it. If you're a guy. Of course, men and
women are both listening, and so both feel free to
chime into eight seven seven ninety nine one box. How
many of those packages are strictly and solely for you
throughout a month? Danny Nanny, so right one Danny Sorah, DG.
You nailed it. I looked at my credit card a
(10:07):
couple months ago and I was like, did someone buy
a new vehicle? Forty thirty twenty eight, forty sixty twenty
forty And again these are things Amazon, Jeff Bezos should
send me an edible arrangement. You're right, Sometimes these things
just add up. And what are a lot of people say, Oh,
it's for the kids. I needed to get the kid, but.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
The kids get stuff that some of it is necessities
for the house. I get it, But how much of
it is for the house? A lot of it is
just on board, and I'm online shopping right.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Now, right right, And how many of that is usually
for you? Like I said, if I get one package
a month, that's a lot. So no one runs that
by you. And I don't know how much you have
to run by if you're going to one game because
your team finally made it this far, and out of kindness,
you want to be respectful to your partner. Again, it's
not asking for permission. I never want to be the god.
(10:59):
That's like news, little kay. If I get these golf clothes,
like that guy is a wimp? Oh I could I
I was close. Sam your fingers on that button, say
that guy's a poh wimp. Never be the other. It's
the carding your new permission. But out of respect, because
you want to be a good man, you discuss these
things with your significant other. But I do ask do
(11:21):
you fudge that the amount? Sometimes I always round down.
If I'm in Vegas with you guys and I get
a little carried away at the craps table, I may
trim a few hundred off of how much I lost.
When I'm talking to my wife, like babe, how are
you doing? Bad day at the tables? What you lose,
and I'm like six hundred four hundred. When you're talking money,
round down. When you're talking inches, always round up inches,
(11:44):
you round top money round down. According to the AI Overview,
and I'm not talking Alan iverson. Nick's tickets for the
game against the Celtics at the Garden Man What a
matchup are ranging from approximately it's up now seven twenty
one to two thousand dollars ticket, depending on the specific
seat location and secondary market pricing. Some sources indicate that
(12:05):
the average price for Nick Celtics games can approach two gees.
So look, how often does your team get this far?
There's an exceptional matchup the Knicks. Everyone's excited about it.
It's one of those Yo, you were there for that.
You know, you want to do it for the gram,
you want to take some pictures, you want to tell
the story. It's basically a must win for the Celtics though,
(12:27):
and they've waited a long time. Yeah, you may go
there to watch the Celtics win.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
I would be so upset as a Knicks fan spending
all that money, and it's a game really the Celtics
have to have.
Speaker 1 (12:36):
But as a fan too, you also feel part of
that victory because the Celtics are coming to the Garden.
I think they're entering real, real furious territory, like real
excited energy levels that we haven't seen in years at
the Garden. So the question really is, guys, we broke
it down. You get packages all the time, Money's being
(12:58):
spent all the time. But if you're going to let's
say over seven hundred, right, over seven hundred dollars for
a ticket, NIX ticket, Knicks ticket, or any important ticket
that is for you, do you have to run it
by WiFi or the girlfriend or your significant other, whoever
it is. Listen, some couples run so independently of each
other that this isn't even a question. Like some people
have separate accounts and they do their own thing. Here's
(13:20):
another angle. If you're going to a concert. If you're like, yeah,
I'm getting sweet seats to the Foo Fighters, or you
know your wife or girlfriend Sonic Temple this weekend, Metallica,
a bunch of bands in Ohio playing this weekend. If
you're going, if your wife went to go see Taylor
Swift and spent a ton of money a year ago,
that's a guaranteed joyous night. Like if you go see Metallica. Yeah,
(13:42):
you're gonna have a great time regardless. Regardless. I'm gonna
speak on the other side of that where I spent
a couple grand to go see the Mets Dodgers in
the playoffs last year, whole family cutting candy, hot dogs
and everything. Mets got smoked. So I left being like, man,
I'm an idiot. By the way, tickets are still availables.
Ninety nine percent sold out for Sonic Temple this weekend
(14:05):
in Ohio. Corn See, we got corn, we got Metallic,
a Lincoln Park Incubus, Alice in chains and that's a
hell of a show. Oh man, Yeah, it's a few
days insane. So tickets are still available. But anyway, again,
you know the point you get the question eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox. The more I think about
it and the more I have times have changed. Women
(14:27):
are spending so much money, or your significant others spending
so much money on things that you don't even know about.
I think you can get away with this one because
it's the playoffs and it's a big game. We're insinuating
your team hasn't been there in a long time. And
I'll tell you this listen. You could say, you could say, well,
(14:47):
that's sexist, Rich, I don't think it is. You know,
my wife does a way better job than I do
about making sure things are kept up for the kids.
But any package I get in the mail, you know
what it is. It's like, Oh, I ran out of
deoder and so I ordered it on Amazon. Oh yeah,
you know, I needed a new little wire from my
laptop I got on Amazon. Are you getting anything really
for yourself? Never? Ever, dude. If I buy a hat,
(15:09):
like a hat once in a while, like that's it.
I have a new Yankees cap. I am never buying it.
Oh I ran out of hair product, let me buy it?
Like that's my deliveries. So let's think about it. Let's
chop it up. Let's get involved. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox. Some great games. Do you have to
run it by? Who do we got? We're gonna go
to all your phone calls. Danny G's on there right now,
(15:31):
eight seven seven nine to nine on Fox. And while
we get those phone calls lined up, I want you
to start thinking about something else as well. Rafael Devers
a guy that started the season like ass, but he
since turned it around a bit. He's always, in his defense,
always been a great, great hitter, great player for the
Red Sox. As a Yankees fan, Yankees killer, like, I'm like,
(15:52):
this dude is incredible. Rafael Devers one of those guys
that thinks, excuse me, I'm getting over you are right
if I choke and then fall in the air as
that could rating. By the way, did you see that
woman pass out on Fox News? I'm sorry this is
relevant because I'm like, choking. Are you sure you're not
(16:13):
having like an ad D attack or something? No, excuse me,
this is hilarious. Imagine you and I are doing our
show week we do every day. It's a guy and
a girl on Fox News. Middle of the broadcast. The
girl's like, and coming up, we're gonna talk about the tariffs. Faints.
(16:34):
The guy looks she's laying out, and he's like, could
someone help her? Coming up on five o'clock. He doesn't ste.
He doesn't miss a beat. I haven't seen that. He
doesn't miss a beat. If I fall, I want you
to keep going, Okay, Joe, Dude, she fainted and the
guy doesn't miss a beat. He's like, and yesterday, Pope Leo,
and it's like, dude, a woman is laying unconscious next
(16:55):
to you, little Rich. Don't go dying, you know. Let's
go to your phone calls. Now, I'm back. Sorry, I
almost choked for a second. I'm Chris ALBERTA Line one.
We'll start with you, buddy boy. What's up in Rich? Hey?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I was just hey, I was just doing a quick
search on Grock there on the on the X platform,
and I typed in, did Paul Pierce walk barefoot through
LA for eight or nine hours? Something to that verbatim,
and Grock replied, there is not enough solid and credible
(17:31):
evidence to report that Paul Pierce did that.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Well, you know what, even if he didn't, and if
it was, if he did a little something, at least
he faked the funk on a nasty dunk. Yeah, at least,
yeah tried.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
If you put at least two to three hours into
your bet or promise, then at least you paid something home.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I got him there, Elijah and Fresnow, what's up in Elijah? Elijah?
You're on?
Speaker 5 (17:53):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (17:53):
Hey, hey, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
What's I'm in?
Speaker 6 (17:56):
I always frame my large purposes or my US purchases.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I'm sorry, I can't speak right now.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
As surprises.
Speaker 6 (18:05):
So I'll be like, hey, guess what, guys, we're going
to Lakers game five tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Oh so you make it seem like everything like oh wow,
oh but hold on, but you're including your significant other, right.
Speaker 6 (18:16):
Oh, I took I took my took my five year
old with us this time. He's not going with us again. Okay,
A bunch of a bunch of money on tickets, like
two rows up from the floor. And as soon as
we sat down, he sighed and pointed up and said,
I want to sit up there.
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Well, that's a way safer move to include like your
wife and your family. Yeah, you're on a budget, but
you included them. You made him part of it. That's
a safer move. I was thinking, like, you're just going
either solo, right or bringing a friend like you're going
with your buddy mo in Tempe. You're on what's up? Buddy?
Hey mo?
Speaker 7 (18:51):
Hey, guys got me So I got it doing my
wife over twenty years.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
So as long as you're not dipping into this savings,
you know.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
What I mean.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
I don't the permission is necessary, like you said, out
of respect, you still give her the heads up.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But if you're smart, you get hurt something.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I know what you're saying, like pad it a little
bit like yeah, hey, maybe I got you. I thought
of you, and you I don't got you massage.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh, by the way, I'm going to the playoff game.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
In Rich's case, I bought a brand new car, but
I got you a muffin from Starbucks.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
And.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
I got you a ban not a loaf. I'm actually
great advice man, Tim and DC with up buddy, Wait Tim.
Speaker 5 (19:28):
Hey, guys quick on the Fox News.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
Girl.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
I don't think she actually passed out. I think she
just was eating her words and said I gotta just bail.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I think she just hit the floor. She did not know,
she did not know how to finish hand sentence.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But uh it was.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
It's a wild it's a wild cub. By the way,
I know, I was a tangent, but looked that up later.
Speaker 6 (19:46):
Come.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
You know, if you haven't seen it.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
She just won't.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Yeah, but uh, it is buying those tickets to the
next game a form of gambling, like if they win,
you're walking on air, you're taking a limo home. But
it's the Knicks lose and I'm out of thousand dollars, like,
I'm not even taking the subway home home.
Speaker 1 (20:01):
Life's a risk, are now it is? It's definitely a risk.
You're hoping they win. I remember going to a Mets
game seven and they lost and it was rainy out
and I didn't I honestly, I walked halfway b I
walked it through Queens for like three subway stops, like
I hate life. I remember a time you drove through
the desert, yes after the forty nine has lost the
(20:21):
Super Bowl, and I was there. I hated life so
much that I rented a car and drove home. I
didn't want to wait for my flight. You know what, man,
you may think it's a sexist sort of take, and
I'm not trying to be but if you're a if
you're a man, like absolutely, like a Rocky Bill bowman,
like Rocky Bobo, like I'm a man, smell mainly absolutely.
I don't ask you to stop being a woman, you know, like,
don't stop asking me to be a man. And you
(20:44):
make your own money and you're not in debt or anything, right,
you're a good guy. You make your own money. I
didn't you just do it just to establish again that
you're the man I hate like. It's not like you're
at the Newdy bar wasting money. Your team made it
to the playoffs, you're pumped about it. You bought a ticket.
It doesn't need much explanation if you're a responsible guy.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I don't think you know a lot of our significant others.
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Yeah, no, I'm just saying, but this is a way
to re establish, like a reset kind of you know.
Let's go to where we're going. We're going to d
c H. We talked to today. Let's go to Vegas, Vegas,
Las Vegas. What's up?
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Trap Hey, gentlemen, good afternoon.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
What's up?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
So Hey, here's a good spin on this. It's not
how much you're allowed to spend. But one time with
my ex, she found a credit card statement. I'd spent
a little underd four thousand dollars, but it was on her.
So therefore it's no limit when you're buying her something.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Gotcha. Yeah, but that's the double standard, right If your
wife or girlfriend wanted some expensive bag, is she stopping
you from buying it? So you can't buy yourself a
sweet playoff ticket? Do you want? Mario? Wrap it up
in El Paso and then we'll talk a little baseball,
Little Raphael Devers. What's up? Man? What up?
Speaker 6 (21:55):
I've been with my.
Speaker 7 (21:56):
Wife for thirty one years, and a secret to my
success for happiness, I should say, is.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
I treat her. I buy her stuff all year long,
so there's no limit when I.
Speaker 7 (22:07):
Want to go do something with the boys.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
I love it. Don't ask question, Mario. That goes with
my my theory of my whole marriage, which is, I know,
I try to be good on a regular bas and
just be a really like thoughtful guy so that when
I do dumb things, my wife's like, well, yeah, he's
really nice on me. In the bank, yeah, I feel
like I'm banking it essentially. And let me make it clear,
(22:29):
I'm not saying to keep secrets and don't tell and
lie about it. But yeah, I think you get that ticket, dude,
if you're a good dude, get it.
Speaker 3 (22:37):
Do it.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Well. Hey, coming up, we got a lot to get to.
We can play Belichick or Cavino. We're gonna talk some baseball,
rugbyl Devers and there's a really funny viral story about
the gym, and I think it's gonna be our most
fun conversation of the day. It has to do with

What time tomorrow, Dany g Six am Eastern Time, So
be sure to check out our podcast search Covino and
Rich wherever you stream, and our bonus podcast. Episode ninety
one debuted yesterday. We talked about a new home run
stat we talked about else. What we talked about, I
don't know, unover promised. Oh yeah, we talked about how
Cavino loves the new mammoth logo in the NHL. So
(25:18):
can you wear gear of a team you don't care
about because the logos cool? Or is that like such
a lot?
Speaker 3 (25:22):
I watched it on YouTube. You talked about the one
hundred men versus well not Zimmers. The Zimmers, Ye have
the latest version now one hundred Zimmers beat one Paedro.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, we talked it all on over Promised Episode ninety
one that's on Fox Sports right.
Speaker 3 (25:36):
And YouTube page. Swore you weren't going to bring that
up again.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, exactly, and right now we're live from Fox Sports
Radio Studio Fridays here and anything else, Rich as far
as getting those tickets and enjoying the game this weekend. No,
I do think though that out of courtesy, we should
always run things by a significant other, not for permission,
but for you know, just being a good part to
run by. I think you just like keeping them in
the loom. Yeah that's all. But I am down to
(26:02):
talk some Rafael Devers. You know, Rafael Dever is more
than I do. Only because you're an Alas fan. You
watch the Yankees every day your life. I don't blame you.
Fun team to watch. And by the way, have you
seen the stat about how in May Juan Soto leads
Aaron Judge in every statistical category. Wan Soto's getting hot
as Judge getting cold? I mean what nine days into
(26:25):
I mean nine days is still nine days? Isn't it?
In wave? In my own or not? I know all
month I'm gonna go. Let me, uh pull up Devers
stats here. I don't know if really matters much, but
the dude's approven player. He had a bad start, like
you already said, the historically bets remember he was oh
for eighteen with fifteen strikeouts. Yeah now he believe it
(26:45):
or not, he's bet in two fifty five, which is decent.
Considering how he started, and in today's game, six dongs,
six bombs, twenty five RBI. That's what he's doing right now.
But twenty five ribies for a guy that started that bad.
The guy turned the season around. Here, really start giving
a great hitter career two seventy eight hitter already has
(27:06):
over two hundred career home runs. Two hundred and six
career home runs started in twenty seventeen. He's been in
the league nine years already. But the dude is good, right,
safe to say yeah. But he also played third base
for the Red Sox. Then the Red Sox got Bregman
and he was like, yeah, but I'm still a third baseman, right,
(27:26):
and they're like, no, no, you're not. You're the DH.
But now they want him to play first base. So
he was the DH all season long. Now they wanted
to play first base, and now Devers is saying, yeah,
I don't want to do that, and I'll quote him
here's what he really said. No, no, no, he said,
He's like, nah, he said, I know I'm a ballplayer,
(27:49):
but at the same time, they can't expect me to
play every single position out there. In spring training, they
talked to me and basically told me to put my
glove away that I wasn't going to play any other position.
But DH, so right now, I just feel like it's
not an appropriate decision by them to ask me to
play another position. It was the GM that I spoke with.
(28:10):
I'm not sure what he has with me. He played ball,
and I would like to think he knows that changing
position like this isn't easy. That's Raphael Devers speaking on
why he doesn't want to move to first base. Now,
there's two ways to look at this, like, hey, man,
we pay you a lot of money and a lot,
and by a lot, you know what that a lot
is three hundred and thirteen million over ten years. So
(28:33):
get out there and play ball, right. I want you
to clean up the sunflower scenes in the dugouts and
we need, you know, million dollars a year. So you
can look at it that way, like, hey, dude, we're
not asking you to do something out of the out
of the norm. We're asking you to play first base
or out of the well. I guess it is out
of the norm because he doesn't play first bab, but
it's itself baseball, your professional ball player, right, I get it.
(28:56):
Now you could say, dude, we're talking on the highest
of levels to get out to a position he's not
familiar with. He was a third baseman again, and play
first base, which requires a specific, a particular set of skills. Right,
I would say, aside from catcher, first base would be
they Liam Neeson. No, but it is you have to
know how to skills. You have to know how to scoop,
(29:18):
you have to know how to stretch, you have to
know how to cover. First base does require a specific
skill set that he's not familiar. But it's not like
Sunday softball where you put your fat buddy at first base. Right,
this is major league baseball. So I mean it's one
thing to jump out there in Sunday softball, but on
a high level to get out there and you don't
(29:39):
feel confident about it, and it's not your position, you
don't feel good about it. If you play bad, you're
just running your own reputation. Again, it's not little league.
He's already had a tough year. It's not little league, weep,
but the tall kid or the lefty at first base.
This is that every position in Major league baseball is
of the highest skill. Now, so I'm just giving you
both sides so that you could think about it and
weigh it out, and we're going to figure out, well,
(30:00):
who's wrong here. I have my opinions, Rich has his.
We'll go around the room, we'll take your phone calls.
Should he just go out there and shut up? Or
you go out there and take a risk and embarrass himself.
And then everyone's pointing at him like he's doing something wrong.
He's like, hey, I just sign up to play first
I'm not at first base. Now. Money isn't everything, but
when you make three hundred plus million dollars over ten years,
(30:20):
that's a hell of a lot of money to play
a kid's game and have fun. But he's deserved it
and earned it based on the market value and what
Rafael Devers brings. I think who I'm blaming is Endeavors.
It's I sort of blame the Red Sox for going
after Alex Bregman, which they should have. The guy's batting
over three hundred, he has nine home runs, thirty ribi's
(30:42):
he's a star. You want Bregman on your team. But
when Alex Rodriguez, who you could argue is significantly better
than any of these guys were talking about when he
went to the Yankees. He's like, listen, I want to
play for a winner. Where do you want me to play?
Do you want me to play third base? Because Jeter's
your shortstop? If there have been a sense of Bregman
(31:03):
not wanting to take a SuperStar's position, or is Bregman like, yo,
you want me on your team? I played third base?
I think it was the Red Sox call from the
get go that he was just the guy. They didn't
really give Devors much of a shot or chance. They
they just said Bregman was the new third baseman. It
was sort of a surprise to everybody. And again, this
(31:23):
all happens because the Red Sox first baseman Cossas had
a season ending knee injury, Tristan Cassa, So they're like, well, hey, Devers,
can you get out there? He's like, what, I don't
play first base? So is the money the factor? Because
how would you approach that at your job? You're like, yo,
(31:45):
I don't do that. What if it was just a
skill set you don't have. But it's like a dude
who lays down tile, all right, It's like a dude
who does drywall right, Yeah, we need you to tie
and he's like, yeah, but I don't tiele. I mean,
I mean probably figured it out, but it's not gonna
be that great on time, and then I'm gonna have
to deal with the consequences. But that's not what I
that's not my skill set. So you know what, think
about it. We'd love to hear from you. Are are
(32:07):
you team? Rafael Dever. You rarely see a player put
their team on blast in this way because they're saying
they He's publicly saying they messed up. This is their problem.
I don't play first base.
Speaker 5 (32:19):
Yeah, you know.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
I'll break it down with one final statement then we'll
go to dB. When you play rex sports, if you're
playing pickup basketball at the gym, or you know, weekend softball,
whatever you do to stay active, pick a ball. I
always say, if someone asks the new guy, hey, new guy, Hey,
where do you play? You know what? The only answer is,
wherever you need me. Well, we also talked about this week.
(32:43):
You gotta be versatile, man. If you're not. We talked
about earlier this week the times where people step up
because someone goes down, and we also commended it. So
we have to be consistent here. We talked about the
dude at the Kentucky Derby, we talked about Scott. Remember
when Charlie Arnold had to do ring announcing because Joey
Martinez got sick. Yeah, she's not a ring announcer, but
(33:06):
she did it, became the first woman ever to do it.
People step up, People step up? Is the point. How
do you feel about it? We'll take your phone calls,
but first and first, mostly your update from the guy,
the man casual Dan Byer. What's up? dB?
Speaker 8 (33:20):
Makes me wish the National League didn't get rid of
the DH right right? You know, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Hey? Hey, gotta play? You gotta play? All right, guys.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Tonight they are playing two games in the NBA Playoffs,
Cavaliers and Pacers, seven thirty Eastern time. It's in Indianapolis.
Pacers up two to zero, Cavaliers still listing Darius Garland,
Evan Mobley, Indiandre Hunter is questionable for tonight. Thunder A
Nuggets play at ten o'clock Eastern time. That series is
tied up at one apiece, Game three in the Mile
High City. The Celtics say that forward Sam Hauser is
(33:49):
doubtful for Tomorrow's Game three in New York against the Knicks.
That's gonna be an afternoon tip off on Saturday. Well,
the Timberwolves are investigating incidents involving Warriors forward Draymond Green.
One fan was ejected for violating the fan code of
Conduct during last night's game. Another fan was accused by
those around him of making racially charged comments towards Green.
That fan left before being identified by security on the ice. Tonight,
(34:13):
Leaves and Panthers, seven Eastern Stars and Jets skating their
Game two at nine to thirty Eastern time. Steelers GM
Omar Kahn said both the team and George Pickens reps
felt it was good a good time for a change
of scenery when they made the deal to send Pickens
to Dallas. Concept Dallas called them, and Pickens didn't demand
a trade, but rather all sides felt that they needed
a fresh start. Fox Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz says
(34:34):
the Cowboys also spoke with the Ravens about a possible
deal for wide receiver Rashad Bateman before doing the Pickens swap.
A duel, Carter's made up his mind He's gonna wear
number fifty one with the Giants, while fellow first rounder
Jackson dart Is gonna wear number six in the University
of North Carolina releasing his statement today saying that the
girlfriend of at football coach Bill Belichick, Jordan Hudson is
who we're talking about, is welcome at the school's football facilities,
(34:58):
and while she is not in employee of the school,
she is welcome on campus as she manages Belichick's brand
outside of the football program. A report earlier today said otherwise,
after the school released their own statement back to you guys.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Yeah, thanks, Dan Byron. In fact, we're gonna play Belichick
or Cavino coming up in a little bit for a prize.
But we'll take her feedback next. Raphael Devers or any
athlete for that matter that says I don't play that position.
I don't want to do that. It's why he won't
play first base. He's saying he won't do it. I
don't know what kind of resolution they're gonna come to.
(35:32):
We'll get all your feedback next right here. Fox Sports Radio,

throughout the show, other things popping are like a brain drizzle.
(37:29):
Now you're exaggerating. Let's how you're It's a brain drizzle,
not a storm really, but things come up like we
just saw that the oilers one last night. OT. I thought,
how the Edmonton oilers and then you had back in
the day the Houston Oilers, cooler logo, cooler team. What
do you think? Because I saw a meme that's say,

many little Easter eggs and hidden meanings and there's so
many different things. We actually talked about it on over Promise.

Okay, fair enough, that's good one. Any stand out to
you in.
Speaker 8 (39:18):
The well, like the Cardinals ones, like, I think you
got to go to the original because St. Louis Arizona
came from Stelis.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
Yeah. San Francisco Giants came from New York. So you
got to do a team that stayed there A good point. Yeah, yeah,
So let's get back to it, at least set it
up before we take phone calls Raphael Devers saying he
won't play first base. That's where it was at. Won't
do it. They need him to play first base, but
he's like, you know, I thought I was your DH.
You said I was your DH. I wanted to play
(39:45):
third You said no. What do you think, Brian in Vegas?
Can you resist it? Does it make Devers look like
a clown or the team look foolish?
Speaker 2 (39:54):
Now?
Speaker 4 (39:54):
What's up? Guys?
Speaker 7 (39:55):
Rich Bank bankner Gangs, first of all bank Nighter Gang?

Broll?
Speaker 7 (40:00):
So I think it's I think it's Spells. Towards the
end of Devers in Boston, I think I didn't even know.
His character was kind of like, I'm not going to
do that because yeah, I played park league softball. It's
funny that you bring that upreach We actually are going
to play tonight. But whenever I sub on somebody else's team,
I tell him first, like, hey, I'm an outfielder. So
particularly if you're like, if you want me to play,
(40:22):
you want me to come out, you need an outfielder,
you let me know.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
So yeah, I mean some people will be like, hey,
here's what I do, here's what I play. He is
putting his reputation at risk if he decides to play
first and he stinks. So what do you guys think?
We'll take your phone calls? Wrap it up next A
seven seven ninety nine one Fox plus prizes next hour. Yes,
