go right. Gotta remind you tonight Game four. Gotta get
pumped for that. I just can't believe that if the
Knicks win tonight, it's too to go back to the garden.
Isn't there a feeling in your mind that like, oh,
the Knicks blew it, yet they're they're right in it.
They could They could make up for the total failure
(01:23):

two or three point eight million that tuned into the finale.
So I hope you enjoyed all that. I hope you're
enjoying our show. No what I watched, by the way,
that I recommend to everyone, not only for the first time.
Did I watch a movie that you've quoted many times?
I don't know how it took me twenty years to
watch this. Spot was at my house and he was
one of the people that stayed latest and he threw
(02:31):
on Nacho Libre. I don't know how I had never
seen that movie in its entirety? Is it in car
nasty and kar nasty? Is it the dumbest innatl Is
it the dumbest fun movie of Jack Black's life? I mean,
(02:54):
Nacho Libre is a lot of people's favorite Mexican To
be honest, I don't know how I had missed that
along the way. And if you need something fun to watch,
if you're a man or a woman that loves their
They're whiskey or their bourbon, the food that built America,
oh yeah, there's a Jack Daniel's one, and you learn
all about Jack Daniel and it is a fascinating story.
The guy was, you know, the guy was a ballsy,
(03:17):
revolutionary type of guy. Like he was like, I want
to brand my booze when everyone else is just on
a bootlegging and sellad. He's like, no, no, I want
to be a brand. It's wild. And he was like
a young orphan Jack Daniel. When you wake up with

I'll tell you all about it later. Now, there was
another story rich before we get into Iron Mike Trivia. Yeah,
giving away prizes again eight seven seven ninety nine out Fox.
What do you like tonight? By the way, give me
your gut Instea Nicks tied up. Well, we saw the way, dude,
ielate they unlocked something. You know, let's spread spread the
(04:01):
love a little bit. We don't need Jalen Brunson to
do everything. We got some key players off the bench
to step up. I think Karl Anthony Towns really showed
that he's got what he's got the momentum, now you
know what I mean. Like, I think they're going to
play big tonight. Sorry, did you see the text messager?
You just got no hate to be all over the place? No,
I don't No, I don't know. I like the I
(04:22):
like add radio before you get the Tyson trivia and
your other story. We asked Big Mike who runs this place?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Who you know, Big Mike. On Friday, we talked about
how the university actually out here UCLA in California, scientists
say they have a breakthrough study where hair loss is
going to be a thing of the past. We talked
to this last week. Yeah, we filled in for Dan
Patrick and Colin Cowherd. Not a lot could say they've
(04:49):
done both shows in the same day, but we did.
We made radio history on Friday and we talked about this.
I know Wow is right and there's a study that
they're saying pro piche rogain, all these things are going
to pale in comparison to this hair loss breakthrough that
scientists that U see LA they're waiting for FDA approval,
and they're saying it leaves legit like they're they found
(05:10):
a way to undeadened hair follicles. I don't know this side.
Tony Kornheiser is gonna come in looking like Johnny Swade.
I bring this up because Big Mike courozis place always
say he looks like stone Cold Steve Austin and Cavino.
Ask him if you could, would you grow back your
hair and take a pill because you're so used to
people and their look, and and they're accustomed to their
(05:32):
look too. I don't know if everyone would jump at
that opportunity. He just hit us up because not only
would I grow my hair back, I would really want
he said, he would go like big poofy, like fluck seagulls,
just let it grow. I don't know how his wife feels.
I just wonder if all those guys ladies are gonna
be chasing him, all the guys, all the guys. I
(05:53):
was saying that, Ryan, think of all your buddies that
have shaved their head and grow beard, right like you
guys that you take it home and they just grow
a beard, shave their head. Would all those guys just
grow big pompadors. They imagine Mike with the flock of
seagulls hair. Dude, I just you know, I like him
as a bald guy. I like Mike the way he is.
It's a funny question. We asked the other day, though,
(06:15):
who who would look the funniest with a full head
of hair? And the number one answer to move on
I was Sam. It was credit to you, he said,
the paddel of NBA on TNT. Just the whole panel,
the whole panel. Yeah there, it just wouldn't look right
all with flat tops. They all got flat tops. It's
so weird. So another story you can think about that.
(06:35):
You could check out us filling in for DP and
the first hour of cow Herd on wherever you stream
your podcast search Covino and Rich.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's part of your best of the week.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh yeah, it is part of the best of the week.
We have the Best of the week guys for your
listening pleasures. Check that out if you want to hear
more about it. Now. My boy Jack Mack, who I
never met, my best friend who I never met from barstool,
brought awareness to this story and I looked it up
and I'm like, no way what no way. There's a
(07:06):
story out of Sylvania, Ohio Perrysburg High School. Now Perrysburg
High School must have the greatest varsity soccer team going,
because there's a story of a twenty four year old
guy named Anthony Labrador. He's from Venezuela, and he convinced
everybody that he was this high school sixteen year old
(07:29):
orphan that had nowhere else to go, and a family
brought him in And it wasn't until his baby mama
reached out to this family that was housing him and
she was like, yeah, that guy living with you, he's
the father of my son. He's not paying me child
support and he's twenty four years old, he's not sixteen.
(07:50):
So it's one of those like orphan stories, remember, like
there's something wrong with esther, you remember that. So this
family had what's their real story too, about the curious
case of Nancy Grace. I don't know what's her name,
something Grace, anyone, Talian Grace, Italian Grace Grace. Yeah, it
(08:11):
was this little girl, but she was That was their story.
The facts come out that she was a younger woman,
a little girl. So he's pretending to be sixteen years old,
he's really twenty four and he's playing JV sports. So
the first question is, twenty four year old guy wasn't
(08:32):
good enough to play varsity? What a loser he's playing JV.
I mean, the whole story is weird, right, but he
wasn't good enough to play varsity. A dude from Venezuela.
Remember the movie when was it? A Drew Barrymore goes
back to high school? Never been kissed? Sometime as a
story or a movie where someone goes back to you know,
(08:52):
back to school, back to school. Yeah, remember Billy Madison,
he whooped those kids asses in dodgeball. If you want
to be like Rodney Dangerfield and do the triple Lindy,
if you can go back to school, don't you think
you'd play varsity even at this age, because there's a
(09:13):
poise about you, a confidence that you would have. I
think after a few reps, right, you can't just go
in there cold, but I do gotta get some reps in.
I do wonder if you're a guy or a woman,
and you if you're thirty five, forty forty five, fifty
years old, this guy was twenty four. At what age?
(09:34):
Are you delusional to think I could go back and
playing here. I admit, get there. You know, my ego says, hell, yeah,
give me a month to you know, get my stroke back,
get my legs from under me, because there's some ring rust.
You know, I could hit off these knucklehead high school kids.
Give me a break. Even played organized baseball in decades.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I know.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But you think you think you could go play var City?
Is my ego talking? You know, I think I'm at
that age right now. What's a big base forty Did
John Carlos stand play over here? Notre Dame? You think
you could be? I mean, now you're now you're putting
me up against the best high school kids in the country.
But what I'm saying out here in California, yeah, these
are some of the best. John Carlos Stanton played there,
(10:18):
But there's some of the best. It's a private school.
But if you put me in some average high school, yeah,
I got a shot to start varsity just based on
man's strength. Alung Danny J. I did it at sixteen.
I can't do it now if I went a little
practice City J. You're a strong guy. You think you
could play varsity football as a forty seven year old
guy just because you're like, I got man strength or
you think they would school? I think you could.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I could stand on the line maybe, yeah, on the
O line or the D line.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Den By, you're starting center, Danny g.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But if you're asking us to run up and down
the field for the whole game, No.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You have man strength. You're a grown man.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Six to one?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You're you're not a slouch. You do you think you
could play high school football tomorrow? He's thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I paused for the effect.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Not pigau Sam forgot to turn your mic on the
effect effect? No way, Okay, alright, it's away. You gotta
put your ego aside. I gotta think about this.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Tell you what about center? You can play center?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I think you could.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
That's pretty Yeah. I don't know if you're saying that
because of my size. I was a dB and a
split this, you know, a wide out back in the day.
But those were many, many, many years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think I thought the dB on your jackets that
for dan By. I think about this often because you know, uh,
the number one coach here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Where's Doug Gottlieb when I you know, are you rich?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
My son? He plays t ball. He's five. But I'll
go around the pony ball facility and I see the twelve,
U ten you and there's kids that I'm like, I
remember back in the day, there was always a couple
of kids or twelve that could throw smoke and out.
You hear your stories like, yeah, there's fourteen year olds
that are doing lessons throwing that in the eighties when
they're fourteen fifteen. I just wonder if we are all delusional.
(12:09):
If you're a guy that's let's say forty five years old,
you really think you could go play high school baseball.
The thing they have on you is the fact that
they're in that zone of repetition of doing it every
day all the time. Yeah, but there's a poison confidence
that you have that like fear is not a factor there.
It's like, I'll give you an example. When I used
(12:30):
to interview athletes and celebrities, right, I was always interviewing
up like I was in admiration of them because they
were older than me. Most of the time. Now I'm
at the stage of my career I'm like, I really
don't care who you are, let's talk about it. I'm
not interviewing up anymore, I wouldn't be playing in fear.
I'd be looking at this pimple faced geek being like,
I can hit off this dork fair enough, you know,
even though he's got that skill above me. Give me
(12:52):
a month, My ego says I could so. Mentally, mentally,
I'm like, I'm in zero fear of this moment. Let
me get some practicing. I think I can so. Based
on the story Guys Again, twenty four year old Venezuelan
dude Anthony Labrador tricked the family into taking him in.
He convinced everybody he was sixteen. This happened in Ohio.
(13:13):
He was starting JV. So, aside from the crazy story,
the fact that he was playing JV is like he
wasn't even playing varsity. What a loser. That's almost embarrassing.
That's like the most embarrassing part of the story. Yeah,
if you're actually, if you're twenty four and you're gonna
pose as a student, let alone, he was free loading
off some innocent family man. He's like, I'm gonna play JV. Yeah.
Do you think Fox Sports Radio Nation that you could
(13:36):
jump in and play a varsity sport at this age
and stage of your life? It's gonna be different for everybody.
I appreciated Dan Byer's honesty, but if you gave yourself
a few months, you're giving these kids a lot of credit.
My daughter's in high school. These kids suck. I'm serious, dude,
to the high heavens. They stink. Yeah, but you're also
(13:57):
a grown man. You have confidence. But physically they're pliable,
you know, young athletic bodies. You're a guy that's like,
you have a bed weekend of eating too many food.
You're like, I'm not saying, you're like, you're going to
like the best that you had me going to Notre
Dame High School to try to play. That's a prominent
baseball school here in LA. Saying you live in La.
(14:19):
I don't know. I think I think a lot of
us would have a better shot. Spot who never played
high school sports, I think would have a shot playing
on a high school team.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I think I could do it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, see, I see you get some reps under you.
I'm kaying some field goals. Have you ever seen how
bad the kickers are in high school? So many these
kids like, yeah, I would get injured, probably, That's what
I'm thinking. I would get injured.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Trying too hard, you probably would pull a hammy.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I gotta bring some reality to the tire station, right,
I pulled a muscle running across the street the other day.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But hold on.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's why we bring this up, because we, you know,
let's bring clarity to this. Fox Sports Radio Nation, Let's
get you involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on five.
I feel like we are all. I love the confidence
in this, I really do because I I if anyone
you were a great high school ballplayer twenty years ago, everything,
I still it's not baseball, but I still play softball
(15:12):
like twice a week, so I throw and catch it
hit every week. There are times where you don't pick
up a bat for me. Give me a month or
two to get some resp and I'm just wondering. Like
I said, I I'll walk past kids that are teenagers
playing and I'm like, yeah, I play softball every week?
Is that the say? Could I get in the batter's box?
Would a sixteen year old strike me out and me
feel terrible? I know they would call me bro They
(15:34):
would call me Barry Pepper broke because I'd be Pepper
and everybody bam bam, just like this short little pinks,
pinks opposite field pinks. Come on, dude, you going to
cage right now, You're gonna hit high speed if you
if you're just are they making contact our buddy Sean
who listens on the iHeart app. It's a fun question, guys,
and we're just trying to make you think about where
(15:56):
you're at and are you delusional or are you being realistic?
This guy, who I imagine Venezuelan, probably grew up playing soccer.
He was twenty four. He couldn't make the varsity team
in Ohio. He's playing JV. Let me give you perspective, Sean,
what's up there? Hey Shaw, what's up listening out here
in la He goes, Guys, I played in an alumni
(16:17):
football game ten years ago. Okay, it was not easy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was full contact referees and such, and I and
I dealt very highly that. He felt at the time
very highly that y'all. You know, Sean's like maybe ten
years younger that so I'm guessing he was like twenty.
He was like a heart attack. He was probably in
his late twenties playing like an alumni game, and he
felt at the time that's great. I'm gonna whoop these
kids right right, And it was a lot harder snapping
(16:45):
the ball going up and down. He goes, when you're
seventeen eighteen, you forget how agile you are. He said,
we are a great reality. He goes, Maybe baseball because
it's more of a skill thing, where like, if you
know how to hit a baseball, you get hit a baseball.
Where basketball you can't be the old hitting jumpers.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah. Well that's why we said from the start, Rich,
it wouldn't be easy as long as you didn't have
to run up and down the field. Yeah, the entire game. Right.
We couldn't do soccer, that'd be impossible.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Think about playing basketball, right, you get some endurance back,
you're pulling all these old guy moves. That'd be sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
But to Covino's point, yeah, cove to your point about confidence, though.
I feel like if you were on defense in a
high school football game, you could probably lay some some hits.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I think, so, dude, I don't know, Maybe I'm crazy again,
but you know what, That's why I like to keep
that fantasy alive. And that's why I'm like, nah, I'm
good on Sunday softball. I want to still believe that
I can, instead of facing that reality that to your buddy.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Showing you could throw a football over the mountains. Yeah, yeah,
you might not be the one. You might not be
the one getting up after the hit.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I don't know. I like living in my delusion
of yeah I still can. I'll tell you this. There
are times I played with mostly guys thirty five to
fifty or so when I play softball, will be playing
the highest level out here in southern California, so it's
a pretty competitive softball league. Every so often, a new
guy joins the team and he's like twenty eight, and
he's like five years removed from playing in college or something.
(18:09):
It is abundantly clear that, oh, that's that's agile. Yeah, yes,
you're shagging a fly ball. This is the guy that's
gliding like he's Carlos Beltron and he's like, ooh, I
would not have been able to track that flyball down.
And you realize very quickly that there is a big
difference between twenty eight thirty eight forty eight. And you
got to remember the big leaguers, like, you know, it's
(18:31):
a miracle when a guy plays in the bigs in
any league, till forty because it's just science, you get old.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, honestly, it was tough for me when I was
seventeen and eighteen, So why the heck would I be
able to do it at forty eight, you know, Like
I mean, just like there was effort and work put
into it, and that was tip top to think that now,
especially now it's thirty years later. Kids are as you said,
more athletic, stronger at an earlier age.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, just a different ballgame.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What did Yogi Barra famously say about the game about
it being fifty But that's my point, even though I
can't make any other ninety percent, that there's so much
mental advantage I think you would have as a guy
that's been there, done that, and you have no fear
or respect for these younger guys in this fantasy right again,
(19:23):
And when I say respect, meaning like, yeah, whatever, high
school kid, get out of my face.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, Barah said, baseball's ninety percent mental. The other half
is physical.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So that ninety mental part is where I'm seeing the
advantage here. I know you're saying for guys like us.
When I was seventeen, if I saw a guy throwing heat,
I may be a little nervous in the batter's box.
Now as a grown up, I'm like, come on, yeah exact,
I don't know. I mean until you hear that that
heater go by it. I heard a yogism that I'd
(19:55):
never heard, and I heard Bob Costas talking about it.
Have you ever heard this one? His his wife asked him.
Towards the end of Yogi's life. Yeah. His wife asked
Yogi where he wanted to be buried, where he was born,
where they were living, and Yogi famously replied, I don't know.
Surprise me.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That's stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Let's go to the phones and get to the bottom
of it out.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Will in Maine, Well, this twenty four year old posed
as a high school kid. Do you think you could
still play high school? And he started JV? What's up?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, well, thanks for taking my callee, gentlemen. I'm only
like ten years removed from high school, but I coached
JV baseball in Maine, and look, I get it's Maine.
Up until Cooper Flag, we didn't have really anybody that
made the Big four sports. But I think the thing
that I would point out would be conditioning. I have
(20:48):
no doubt I could like make a good throw or
maybe put the ball in play, you know, maybe strike
a kid out if I got lucky. But like running
the first base, chasing down a fly ball base general
also things I haven't run in a long time, so
I feel like that would be the biggest hurtle for me.
But I'm with you guys the mental side. You do
bring that male ego.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's yeah, that confidence. You've got grown man confidence, where
as a kid you might have been a little insecure.
David in text point Man, thanks up, David.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, I got doing.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
I'm fifty eight years old and I can't do no
contact wort. But give me golf or tennis.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm I'm there.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I think you have to say if you were a
decent high school athlete that you know right, you can't.
You can't have been a guy that sucked and didn't
make the team. Then then think you're making it now
that's big dreaming. But like golf, like that guy would
make varsity golf. I could see that happen. And you
started on your high school basketball team and you're thirty
eight years old right now, The question is, twenty years later,
(21:47):
do you think you could hang right and it's a
good one. One last one, and we'll move along. Seattle.
What's up, Brandon?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Oh hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Uh yeah,
I'm I play center field up here in Seattle. I
basically play every day just because I get calls. You know,
you probably know what it's like rich from you know,
can you sub today or whatever?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeh yeah, I'm actually playing tonight in Burbank because someone's like, hey,
can you sub on a team? So yeah, So if
you're actively playing rex sports, your mind is telling you
I could still do. But I feel like if I
played baseball against young kids, I get smoked.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
I don't know, well, I think I mean, first of all,
you got to generate a lot more power to hit
a softball four hundred or four hundred and fifty feet,
And then if you're robbing home runs, like if I
get up there, rob a home run and bring it back,
I kind of feel like it's pretty similar to a
baseball and I played baseball, so it's a little further
to the wall. That's why the Willie Mace catch is
(22:40):
so impressive one for any reasons. But yeah, I'm just
as fast as I ever was, and I don't know
if I'm different. But I think it's just like don't
think about it and just don't be crept to the
world and just listen to like awesome music.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And I think Brandon's built different for sure, different brand. Then.
By the way, that was a Rodriguez. He played center
field for the Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
But I would also just say that the sports that
you guys are talking about are different, Like he was
just talking about and you're talking about baseball football. I
just I don't see it, Like I don't know how
you could do it right now.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, the story was soccer, and that's an endurance sport, sure.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Sure, but like basketball, you've seen old guys at an
open gym be able to work their way around, do
you know, do what they need to do and yeah, exactly,
you know they got a shot or they just always
call a foul on the young kids. But I just
I think football is like the completely different animal.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It matters, all right, hey, something to think about, guys.
And now we want you to give us a call
because we're going to play a game. We're giving away

Speaker 1 (31:11):
All right, let's go to Damn bire for an update.
D B, what's up, buddy boy?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Tell us the investigation is wrapped up.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
WNBA releasing a statement saying that their investigation showed no
evidence of the alleged racist fan behavior that was alleged
to have occurred in a game between the Chicago Sky
and Indiana Fever in Indianapolis on May seventeenth. The league
says they pretty much did it all, reviewed audio, reviewed videos,
spoke with fans, spoke with staff, and could not substantiate
(31:42):
the allegations that were made. Tonight in Indianapolis, It's Game
four of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Nix and Pacers.
Eight o'clock Eastern time is the start Pacers up to
one in the best of seven series, and Indiana is
expected to have guard aaron Ne Smith available for tonight's
game despite an ankle injury. ESPN with that news, and
ESPN also reports that Lebron James is likely to exercise
(32:05):
his player option for next season in play for the Lakers.
Denver Broncos today announced that they will enshrine the late
wide receiver Damarius Thomas into the team's Ring of Honor
Ota starting across the league. No TJ Watt for the
Steelers linebacker entering the final year of his deal. James
Cook wants a new deal. He's still on his rookie
contract in Buffalo, the running back was the no show,
(32:25):
and Kirk Cousins wants out of Atlanta. He didn't show
up to falcons OTAs today. In college basketball for the
big man Alex Condent's return into school and won't enter

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Guys back to you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Hey, you know what. I didn't want to interrupt Dan Bayer,
but that WNBA story is kind of interesting, and I
think there's more like meat to it that people are
scared to sort of talk about because think of the
ratificate outs is that. Yeah, it's like, you know, I
don't want to compare it to the Juicy Smaller story, right,
(33:17):
but if you're screaming racism and they're telling everybody like, nah,
we did everything to see if it happened, then there
wasn't anything there Isn't that like a little gross?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, that's so it's a lot yes.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
You know. So it's like, Yo, you can't be saying
that if it didn't happen, because it's it's just a
very hard for it's a very harsh allegation with zero evidence,
which makes story is as Dave Chappelle, I'm referencing Dave
che Juicy small Aye, right, yeah, but I mean that
was a false report of a hate crime, right, Yes,
but now you're going out there saying that all these
fans were saying all these terrible things and you got
(33:49):
people all concerned. It's like the boy who cried wolf
in sports. You can't be doing stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Well, in that situation, nobody saw it right. There wasn't
in front of fifteen thousands, seventeen thousand people where you
had probably one hundred people in close proximity, and not
one person heard or said anything or like of that
of that ilk. It didn't pass the sniff test when
it was first brought up.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
And then that sounds like highly irresponsible and maybe we're
not the show to tackle these social issues. But I
can't wait to hear with other people. I have to
say that a lot of it, it smells a little
weird to me. Yeah, I'd rather keep it light on
our show. But to me, when major racial implications are
thrown out there with and then it's reversed or there's
(34:35):
no evidence, it always feels weird, like no, remember the
bubble wall. Yeah, but before I forget it's it's bad
because it takes away from those moments of that really happened,
like of course that really happens, and it should be
taken seriously but when you're using it as a I
don't know, I know, I know, I know where you're getting.
When when you're saying it and it didn't happen, it
just takes away from the times that it actually does. Yeah,
(34:56):
it's you remember Bubble Wallace with the noose and the
race car, remember that whole thing, and everyone was up
in arms, rightfully so, and it turns out that there
was nothing there, and it's like, yeah, yeah, you were
disgusted by the thought of it, but it turns out
there was nothing there. Those are a misunderstanding, though, because
misunderstanding tricky stories, very tricky, and we hope that there's
(35:18):
more to it to make it make sense. But thank
you dB, thank you Fox Sports RADI. If you have
any thoughts on any of this, hit us up eight seven,

And that was Derringer. His biggest solo hit, we said
earlier in the show, passed away at the age of

(36:26):
think people know the same guy saying hang on Sloopy
and also wrote and sang hul Cogan's theme song Real America,
And that was one of those same guy that wrote
rock and Roll hoochi Q. His biggest hit is the
same guy that I Am the Real your favorite WWF classic.
No what else he wrote and performed Here Comes the X,
(36:47):
Here Comes a Smasher. He did a lot of wrestling
songs and Derringer was in the McCoy's, but his biggest
song was that one, right the eng Yes, sir, rock
and roll hoo chi q can? I first of all,
say had to Rob Baker, who's coming in listening in
San Antonio to our affiliate there? What's up?
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Rob? Hey?
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
And I gotta throw a name to you guys, because
I feel like it's twenty four years later.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
But if I give you a name, I'm curious if
you will be like, of course, I know if I
said the name Danny al Monte, is that a name
that everyone knows? Yeah? For course, cheater.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I was saying that he had a mustache. I was saying,
do you know that name? Or you just going along
with us?
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Danny al Monte? Would you have known? He's the she
founded that fruit company?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
No, last del Monte.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
He was the Little leaguer who was like twenty five
years old a mustache. Yeah, and everyone was like, yo, man,
that ain't fair. He's the reason some parents. Yeah, let's
see it. Birth certificate. Yeah, actually I was fourteen, I think,
Danny g I'm so glad you said that. The two
thousand and one Little League World Series, with his high
leg kick and a fastball that reached seventy six miles
(37:57):
an hour, the equivalent of one hundred and two miles
an hour from the shorter Little League U Pitcher's Mount. Yeah,
he was five eight, he was a sensation. Turns out
he was way too old to be playing a not
way too I was exaggering he was like fourteen fifteen,
but saying he was what eleven or twelve? Yeah? Yeah.
And I bring this up because I'm coaching five you
(38:21):
do you hear me when I say that five you
like T ball kids. I don't even know how we
picked all stars. I think it's just kids that want
to keep playing that are into it, not just by
the way. I just searched how old was Danny Almonte
and it's just thirty eight years old. That's how old
he is now. Twenty four? Yeah he was he was fourteen? Yeah, okay,
so he was about fourteen back then. And I wonder
(38:42):
if he's the reason. Is he the reason Danny g
why for my get this five you kindergarten and t
K kids that I'm doing this little fun all star
travel thing I have to present. I'm not even bsing
you at the beginning of each game. The league's like, yeah,
you have to have your binder ready, like my binder.
(39:04):
You got a trapper keeper. I have to have essentially
a trapper keeper of birth certificates and proof of age
for my kids. Is this the Daniel Monte effect twenty
four years later? Sure, No, it definitely is. Man. Yeah,
it was a very big deal.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
There was a big news story last week where a
girl playing softball. They made her cry because the other
team asked to see a birth certificate on her because
she was a big girl.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Little league or you know, little kids softball sort of
let's see the hands to see if there's any spider
tag on it. Yeah, to be honest, it's funny that
I have to have proof of address, proof of residency,
and a binder of their birth certificate. It's like I
had to tell every parent like group text, hey, for
our first meet up for the All Star team, bring
(39:48):
your kids birth certificate. That seems crazy to me. They're fine.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
I blame the movie Ladybugs.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
You know, spot's a great it's a great blame there.
I agree, But hey, if you're doing that coaching life,
it's uh, now's the time where everyone's in the All
Stars and travel and if you don't remember the story, again,
Daniel Monte was a kid from the Bronx, Dominican kid
from the Bronx, big lefty kid. He was fourteen competing
against eleven to twelve year old will play like minor
(40:14):
league ball. But he played for a long time I remember.
But I just, man, I just felt real bad seeing
that he's thirty eight now. It's like where did the
time flies? Right, Jay stew I know he hates that,
but man, that's crazy. I think that's a great use
of time flies. Because if I say, Dannie al Monte,
forever think he's a little leaguer, you know, you think, oh,
you have the two thousand bubs like five ten years ago. No, no, no,
(40:36):
Daniel Monte, the little league kid that posed as an
eleven year old at fourteen is now a thirty eight
year old man. He's approaching his fortieth birthday. The kid
who you think of as a cheating little leaguer exactly.
So there you go, have a great Tuesday. We'll see
you guys tomorrow and enjoy the NBA playoffs or even
there for your baby. See you in the Promised Land.

the Knicks blew it, yet they're they're right in it.
They could They could make up for the total failure
(01:23):
in game one and go back to the Garden tied
up if they just somehow put it together tonight, if

two or three point eight million that tuned into the finale.
So I hope you enjoyed all that. I hope you're
enjoying our show. No what I watched, by the way,
that I recommend to everyone, not only for the first time.
Did I watch a movie that you've quoted many times?
I don't know how it took me twenty years to
watch this. Spot was at my house and he was
one of the people that stayed latest and he threw
(02:31):
on Nacho Libre. I don't know how I had never
seen that movie in its entirety? Is it in car
nasty and kar nasty? Is it the dumbest innatl Is
it the dumbest fun movie of Jack Black's life? I mean,
(02:54):
Nacho Libre is a lot of people's favorite Mexican To
be honest, I don't know how I had missed that
along the way. And if you need something fun to watch,
if you're a man or a woman that loves their
They're whiskey or their bourbon, the food that built America,
oh yeah, there's a Jack Daniel's one, and you learn
all about Jack Daniel and it is a fascinating story.
The guy was, you know, the guy was a ballsy,
(03:17):
revolutionary type of guy. Like he was like, I want
to brand my booze when everyone else is just on
a bootlegging and sellad. He's like, no, no, I want
to be a brand. It's wild. And he was like
a young orphan Jack Daniel. When you wake up with

What do you like tonight? By the way, give me
your gut Instea Nicks tied up. Well, we saw the way, dude,
ielate they unlocked something. You know, let's spread spread the
(04:01):
love a little bit. We don't need Jalen Brunson to
do everything. We got some key players off the bench
to step up. I think Karl Anthony Towns really showed
that he's got what he's got the momentum, now you
know what I mean. Like, I think they're going to
play big tonight. Sorry, did you see the text messager?
You just got no hate to be all over the place? No,
I don't No, I don't know. I like the I
(04:22):
like add radio before you get the Tyson trivia and
your other story. We asked Big Mike who runs this place?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Who you know, Big Mike. On Friday, we talked about
how the university actually out here UCLA in California, scientists
say they have a breakthrough study where hair loss is
going to be a thing of the past. We talked
to this last week. Yeah, we filled in for Dan
Patrick and Colin Cowherd. Not a lot could say they've
(04:49):
done both shows in the same day, but we did.
We made radio history on Friday and we talked about this.
I know Wow is right and there's a study that
they're saying pro piche rogain, all these things are going
to pale in comparison to this hair loss breakthrough that
scientists that U see LA they're waiting for FDA approval,
and they're saying it leaves legit like they're they found
(05:10):
a way to undeadened hair follicles. I don't know this side.
Tony Kornheiser is gonna come in looking like Johnny Swade.
I bring this up because Big Mike courozis place always
say he looks like stone Cold Steve Austin and Cavino.
Ask him if you could, would you grow back your
hair and take a pill because you're so used to
people and their look, and and they're accustomed to their
(05:32):
look too. I don't know if everyone would jump at
that opportunity. He just hit us up because not only
would I grow my hair back, I would really want
he said, he would go like big poofy, like fluck seagulls,
just let it grow. I don't know how his wife feels.
I just wonder if all those guys ladies are gonna
be chasing him, all the guys, all the guys. I
(05:53):
was saying that, Ryan, think of all your buddies that
have shaved their head and grow beard, right like you
guys that you take it home and they just grow
a beard, shave their head. Would all those guys just
grow big pompadors. They imagine Mike with the flock of
seagulls hair. Dude, I just you know, I like him
as a bald guy. I like Mike the way he is.
It's a funny question. We asked the other day, though,
(06:15):
who who would look the funniest with a full head
of hair? And the number one answer to move on
I was Sam. It was credit to you, he said,
the paddel of NBA on TNT. Just the whole panel,
the whole panel. Yeah there, it just wouldn't look right
all with flat tops. They all got flat tops. It's
so weird. So another story you can think about that.
(06:35):
You could check out us filling in for DP and
the first hour of cow Herd on wherever you stream
your podcast search Covino and Rich.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
It's part of your best of the week.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Oh yeah, it is part of the best of the week.
We have the Best of the week guys for your
listening pleasures. Check that out if you want to hear
more about it. Now. My boy Jack Mack, who I
never met, my best friend who I never met from barstool,
brought awareness to this story and I looked it up
and I'm like, no way what no way. There's a
(07:06):
story out of Sylvania, Ohio Perrysburg High School. Now Perrysburg
High School must have the greatest varsity soccer team going,
because there's a story of a twenty four year old
guy named Anthony Labrador. He's from Venezuela, and he convinced
everybody that he was this high school sixteen year old
(07:29):
orphan that had nowhere else to go, and a family
brought him in And it wasn't until his baby mama
reached out to this family that was housing him and
she was like, yeah, that guy living with you, he's
the father of my son. He's not paying me child
support and he's twenty four years old, he's not sixteen.
(07:50):
So it's one of those like orphan stories, remember, like
there's something wrong with esther, you remember that. So this
family had what's their real story too, about the curious
case of Nancy Grace. I don't know what's her name,
something Grace, anyone, Talian Grace, Italian Grace Grace. Yeah, it
(08:11):
was this little girl, but she was That was their story.
The facts come out that she was a younger woman,
a little girl. So he's pretending to be sixteen years old,
he's really twenty four and he's playing JV sports. So
the first question is, twenty four year old guy wasn't
(08:32):
good enough to play varsity? What a loser he's playing JV.
I mean, the whole story is weird, right, but he
wasn't good enough to play varsity. A dude from Venezuela.
Remember the movie when was it? A Drew Barrymore goes
back to high school? Never been kissed? Sometime as a
story or a movie where someone goes back to you know,
(08:52):
back to school, back to school. Yeah, remember Billy Madison,
he whooped those kids asses in dodgeball. If you want
to be like Rodney Dangerfield and do the triple Lindy,
if you can go back to school, don't you think
you'd play varsity even at this age, because there's a
(09:13):
poise about you, a confidence that you would have. I
think after a few reps, right, you can't just go
in there cold, but I do gotta get some reps in.
I do wonder if you're a guy or a woman,
and you if you're thirty five, forty forty five, fifty
years old, this guy was twenty four. At what age?
(09:34):
Are you delusional to think I could go back and
playing here. I admit, get there. You know, my ego says, hell, yeah,
give me a month to you know, get my stroke back,
get my legs from under me, because there's some ring rust.
You know, I could hit off these knucklehead high school kids.
Give me a break. Even played organized baseball in decades.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
I know.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
But you think you think you could go play var City?
Is my ego talking? You know, I think I'm at
that age right now. What's a big base forty Did
John Carlos stand play over here? Notre Dame? You think
you could be? I mean, now you're now you're putting
me up against the best high school kids in the country.
But what I'm saying out here in California, yeah, these
are some of the best. John Carlos Stanton played there,
(10:18):
But there's some of the best. It's a private school.
But if you put me in some average high school, yeah,
I got a shot to start varsity just based on
man's strength. Alung Danny J. I did it at sixteen.
I can't do it now if I went a little
practice City J. You're a strong guy. You think you
could play varsity football as a forty seven year old
guy just because you're like, I got man strength or
you think they would school? I think you could.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I could stand on the line maybe, yeah, on the
O line or the D line.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Den By, you're starting center, Danny g.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
But if you're asking us to run up and down
the field for the whole game, No.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
You have man strength. You're a grown man.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
What are you?
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Six to one?
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Like?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
You're you're not a slouch. You do you think you
could play high school football tomorrow? He's thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
I paused for the effect.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Not pigau Sam forgot to turn your mic on the
effect effect? No way, Okay, alright, it's away. You gotta
put your ego aside. I gotta think about this.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Tell you what about center? You can play center?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
I think you could.
Speaker 4 (11:20):
That's pretty Yeah. I don't know if you're saying that
because of my size. I was a dB and a
split this, you know, a wide out back in the day.
But those were many, many, many years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I think I thought the dB on your jackets that
for dan By. I think about this often because you know, uh,
the number one coach here on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Where's Doug Gottlieb when I you know, are you rich?
Speaker 1 (11:46):
My son? He plays t ball. He's five. But I'll
go around the pony ball facility and I see the twelve,
U ten you and there's kids that I'm like, I
remember back in the day, there was always a couple
of kids or twelve that could throw smoke and out.
You hear your stories like, yeah, there's fourteen year olds
that are doing lessons throwing that in the eighties when
they're fourteen fifteen. I just wonder if we are all delusional.
(12:09):
If you're a guy that's let's say forty five years old,
you really think you could go play high school baseball.
The thing they have on you is the fact that
they're in that zone of repetition of doing it every
day all the time. Yeah, but there's a poison confidence
that you have that like fear is not a factor there.
It's like, I'll give you an example. When I used
(12:30):
to interview athletes and celebrities, right, I was always interviewing
up like I was in admiration of them because they
were older than me. Most of the time. Now I'm
at the stage of my career I'm like, I really
don't care who you are, let's talk about it. I'm
not interviewing up anymore, I wouldn't be playing in fear.
I'd be looking at this pimple faced geek being like,
I can hit off this dork fair enough, you know,
even though he's got that skill above me. Give me
(12:52):
a month, My ego says I could so. Mentally, mentally,
I'm like, I'm in zero fear of this moment. Let
me get some practicing. I think I can so. Based
on the story Guys Again, twenty four year old Venezuelan
dude Anthony Labrador tricked the family into taking him in.
He convinced everybody he was sixteen. This happened in Ohio.
(13:13):
He was starting JV. So, aside from the crazy story,
the fact that he was playing JV is like he
wasn't even playing varsity. What a loser. That's almost embarrassing.
That's like the most embarrassing part of the story. Yeah,
if you're actually, if you're twenty four and you're gonna
pose as a student, let alone, he was free loading
off some innocent family man. He's like, I'm gonna play JV. Yeah.
Do you think Fox Sports Radio Nation that you could
(13:36):
jump in and play a varsity sport at this age
and stage of your life? It's gonna be different for everybody.
I appreciated Dan Byer's honesty, but if you gave yourself
a few months, you're giving these kids a lot of credit.
My daughter's in high school. These kids suck. I'm serious, dude,
to the high heavens. They stink. Yeah, but you're also
(13:57):
a grown man. You have confidence. But physically they're pliable,
you know, young athletic bodies. You're a guy that's like,
you have a bed weekend of eating too many food.
You're like, I'm not saying, you're like, you're going to
like the best that you had me going to Notre
Dame High School to try to play. That's a prominent
baseball school here in LA. Saying you live in La.
(14:19):
I don't know. I think I think a lot of
us would have a better shot. Spot who never played
high school sports, I think would have a shot playing
on a high school team.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
I think I could do it.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
Yeah, see, I see you get some reps under you.
I'm kaying some field goals. Have you ever seen how
bad the kickers are in high school? So many these
kids like, yeah, I would get injured, probably, That's what
I'm thinking. I would get injured.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Trying too hard, you probably would pull a hammy.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I gotta bring some reality to the tire station, right,
I pulled a muscle running across the street the other day.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
But hold on.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
That's why we bring this up, because we, you know,
let's bring clarity to this. Fox Sports Radio Nation, Let's
get you involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on five.
I feel like we are all. I love the confidence
in this, I really do because I I if anyone
you were a great high school ballplayer twenty years ago, everything,
I still it's not baseball, but I still play softball
(15:12):
like twice a week, so I throw and catch it
hit every week. There are times where you don't pick
up a bat for me. Give me a month or
two to get some resp and I'm just wondering. Like
I said, I I'll walk past kids that are teenagers
playing and I'm like, yeah, I play softball every week?
Is that the say? Could I get in the batter's box?
Would a sixteen year old strike me out and me
feel terrible? I know they would call me bro They
(15:34):
would call me Barry Pepper broke because I'd be Pepper
and everybody bam bam, just like this short little pinks,
pinks opposite field pinks. Come on, dude, you going to
cage right now, You're gonna hit high speed if you
if you're just are they making contact our buddy Sean
who listens on the iHeart app. It's a fun question, guys,
and we're just trying to make you think about where
(15:56):
you're at and are you delusional or are you being realistic?
This guy, who I imagine Venezuelan, probably grew up playing soccer.
He was twenty four. He couldn't make the varsity team
in Ohio. He's playing JV. Let me give you perspective, Sean,
what's up there? Hey Shaw, what's up listening out here
in la He goes, Guys, I played in an alumni
(16:17):
football game ten years ago. Okay, it was not easy.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
It was full contact referees and such, and I and
I dealt very highly that. He felt at the time
very highly that y'all. You know, Sean's like maybe ten
years younger that so I'm guessing he was like twenty.
He was like a heart attack. He was probably in
his late twenties playing like an alumni game, and he
felt at the time that's great. I'm gonna whoop these
kids right right, And it was a lot harder snapping
(16:45):
the ball going up and down. He goes, when you're
seventeen eighteen, you forget how agile you are. He said,
we are a great reality. He goes, Maybe baseball because
it's more of a skill thing, where like, if you
know how to hit a baseball, you get hit a baseball.
Where basketball you can't be the old hitting jumpers.
Speaker 3 (17:01):
Yeah. Well that's why we said from the start, Rich,
it wouldn't be easy as long as you didn't have
to run up and down the field. Yeah, the entire game. Right.
We couldn't do soccer, that'd be impossible.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Yo.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Think about playing basketball, right, you get some endurance back,
you're pulling all these old guy moves. That'd be sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
But to Covino's point, yeah, cove to your point about confidence, though.
I feel like if you were on defense in a
high school football game, you could probably lay some some hits.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I think, so, dude, I don't know, Maybe I'm crazy again,
but you know what, That's why I like to keep
that fantasy alive. And that's why I'm like, nah, I'm
good on Sunday softball. I want to still believe that
I can, instead of facing that reality that to your buddy.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Showing you could throw a football over the mountains. Yeah, yeah,
you might not be the one. You might not be
the one getting up after the hit.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
Yeah, I don't know. I like living in my delusion
of yeah I still can. I'll tell you this. There
are times I played with mostly guys thirty five to
fifty or so when I play softball, will be playing
the highest level out here in southern California, so it's
a pretty competitive softball league. Every so often, a new
guy joins the team and he's like twenty eight, and
he's like five years removed from playing in college or something.
(18:09):
It is abundantly clear that, oh, that's that's agile. Yeah, yes,
you're shagging a fly ball. This is the guy that's
gliding like he's Carlos Beltron and he's like, ooh, I
would not have been able to track that flyball down.
And you realize very quickly that there is a big
difference between twenty eight thirty eight forty eight. And you
got to remember the big leaguers, like, you know, it's
(18:31):
a miracle when a guy plays in the bigs in
any league, till forty because it's just science, you get old.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Yeah, honestly, it was tough for me when I was
seventeen and eighteen, So why the heck would I be
able to do it at forty eight, you know, Like
I mean, just like there was effort and work put
into it, and that was tip top to think that now,
especially now it's thirty years later. Kids are as you said,
more athletic, stronger at an earlier age.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Yeah, just a different ballgame.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
What did Yogi Barra famously say about the game about
it being fifty But that's my point, even though I
can't make any other ninety percent, that there's so much
mental advantage I think you would have as a guy
that's been there, done that, and you have no fear
or respect for these younger guys in this fantasy right again,
(19:23):
And when I say respect, meaning like, yeah, whatever, high
school kid, get out of my face.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Yeah, Barah said, baseball's ninety percent mental. The other half
is physical.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So that ninety mental part is where I'm seeing the
advantage here. I know you're saying for guys like us.
When I was seventeen, if I saw a guy throwing heat,
I may be a little nervous in the batter's box.
Now as a grown up, I'm like, come on, yeah exact,
I don't know. I mean until you hear that that
heater go by it. I heard a yogism that I'd
(19:55):
never heard, and I heard Bob Costas talking about it.
Have you ever heard this one? His his wife asked him.
Towards the end of Yogi's life. Yeah. His wife asked
Yogi where he wanted to be buried, where he was born,
where they were living, and Yogi famously replied, I don't know.
Surprise me.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
That's stupid.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Let's go to the phones and get to the bottom
of it out.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Will in Maine, Well, this twenty four year old posed
as a high school kid. Do you think you could
still play high school? And he started JV? What's up?
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Well?
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Well, well, thanks for taking my callee, gentlemen. I'm only
like ten years removed from high school, but I coached
JV baseball in Maine, and look, I get it's Maine.
Up until Cooper Flag, we didn't have really anybody that
made the Big four sports. But I think the thing
that I would point out would be conditioning. I have
(20:48):
no doubt I could like make a good throw or
maybe put the ball in play, you know, maybe strike
a kid out if I got lucky. But like running
the first base, chasing down a fly ball base general
also things I haven't run in a long time, so
I feel like that would be the biggest hurtle for me.
But I'm with you guys the mental side. You do
bring that male ego.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
That's yeah, that confidence. You've got grown man confidence, where
as a kid you might have been a little insecure.
David in text point Man, thanks up, David.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
Yeah, I got doing.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
I'm fifty eight years old and I can't do no
contact wort. But give me golf or tennis.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
I'm I'm there.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:27):
I think you have to say if you were a
decent high school athlete that you know right, you can't.
You can't have been a guy that sucked and didn't
make the team. Then then think you're making it now
that's big dreaming. But like golf, like that guy would
make varsity golf. I could see that happen. And you
started on your high school basketball team and you're thirty
eight years old right now, The question is, twenty years later,
(21:47):
do you think you could hang right and it's a
good one. One last one, and we'll move along. Seattle.
What's up, Brandon?
Speaker 5 (21:54):
Oh hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Uh yeah,
I'm I play center field up here in Seattle. I
basically play every day just because I get calls. You know,
you probably know what it's like rich from you know,
can you sub today or whatever?
Speaker 1 (22:08):
Yeh yeah, I'm actually playing tonight in Burbank because someone's like, hey,
can you sub on a team? So yeah, So if
you're actively playing rex sports, your mind is telling you
I could still do. But I feel like if I
played baseball against young kids, I get smoked.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
I don't know, well, I think I mean, first of all,
you got to generate a lot more power to hit
a softball four hundred or four hundred and fifty feet,
And then if you're robbing home runs, like if I
get up there, rob a home run and bring it back,
I kind of feel like it's pretty similar to a
baseball and I played baseball, so it's a little further
to the wall. That's why the Willie Mace catch is
(22:40):
so impressive one for any reasons. But yeah, I'm just
as fast as I ever was, and I don't know
if I'm different. But I think it's just like don't
think about it and just don't be crept to the
world and just listen to like awesome music.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
And I think Brandon's built different for sure, different brand. Then.
By the way, that was a Rodriguez. He played center
field for the Seattle Mariners.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
But I would also just say that the sports that
you guys are talking about are different, Like he was
just talking about and you're talking about baseball football. I
just I don't see it, Like I don't know how
you could do it right now.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Well, the story was soccer, and that's an endurance sport, sure.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Sure, but like basketball, you've seen old guys at an
open gym be able to work their way around, do
you know, do what they need to do and yeah, exactly,
you know they got a shot or they just always
call a foul on the young kids. But I just
I think football is like the completely different animal.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It matters, all right, hey, something to think about, guys.
And now we want you to give us a call
because we're going to play a game. We're giving away
your chance to win the coveted Swingy memorials they just passed.

All right, let's go to Damn bire for an update.
D B, what's up, buddy boy?
Speaker 3 (31:16):
Tell us the investigation is wrapped up.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
WNBA releasing a statement saying that their investigation showed no
evidence of the alleged racist fan behavior that was alleged
to have occurred in a game between the Chicago Sky
and Indiana Fever in Indianapolis on May seventeenth. The league
says they pretty much did it all, reviewed audio, reviewed videos,
spoke with fans, spoke with staff, and could not substantiate
(31:42):
the allegations that were made. Tonight in Indianapolis, It's Game
four of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Nix and Pacers.
Eight o'clock Eastern time is the start Pacers up to
one in the best of seven series, and Indiana is
expected to have guard aaron Ne Smith available for tonight's

Denver Broncos today announced that they will enshrine the late
wide receiver Damarius Thomas into the team's Ring of Honor
Ota starting across the league. No TJ Watt for the
Steelers linebacker entering the final year of his deal. James
Cook wants a new deal. He's still on his rookie

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Guys back to you.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Hey, you know what. I didn't want to interrupt Dan Bayer,
but that WNBA story is kind of interesting, and I
think there's more like meat to it that people are
scared to sort of talk about because think of the
ratificate outs is that. Yeah, it's like, you know, I
don't want to compare it to the Juicy Smaller story, right,
(33:17):
but if you're screaming racism and they're telling everybody like, nah,
we did everything to see if it happened, then there
wasn't anything there Isn't that like a little gross?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Yes, that's so it's a lot yes.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
You know. So it's like, Yo, you can't be saying
that if it didn't happen, because it's it's just a
very hard for it's a very harsh allegation with zero evidence,
which makes story is as Dave Chappelle, I'm referencing Dave
che Juicy small Aye, right, yeah, but I mean that
was a false report of a hate crime, right, Yes,
but now you're going out there saying that all these
fans were saying all these terrible things and you got
(33:49):
people all concerned. It's like the boy who cried wolf
in sports. You can't be doing stuff like that.
Speaker 4 (33:55):
Well, in that situation, nobody saw it right. There wasn't
in front of fifteen thousands, seventeen thousand people where you
had probably one hundred people in close proximity, and not
one person heard or said anything or like of that
of that ilk. It didn't pass the sniff test when
it was first brought up.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
And then that sounds like highly irresponsible and maybe we're
not the show to tackle these social issues. But I
can't wait to hear with other people. I have to
say that a lot of it, it smells a little
weird to me. Yeah, I'd rather keep it light on
our show. But to me, when major racial implications are
thrown out there with and then it's reversed or there's
(34:35):
no evidence, it always feels weird, like no, remember the
bubble wall. Yeah, but before I forget it's it's bad
because it takes away from those moments of that really happened,
like of course that really happens, and it should be
taken seriously but when you're using it as a I
don't know, I know, I know, I know where you're getting.
When when you're saying it and it didn't happen, it
just takes away from the times that it actually does. Yeah,
(34:56):
it's you remember Bubble Wallace with the noose and the
race car, remember that whole thing, and everyone was up
in arms, rightfully so, and it turns out that there
was nothing there, and it's like, yeah, yeah, you were
disgusted by the thought of it, but it turns out
there was nothing there. Those are a misunderstanding, though, because
misunderstanding tricky stories, very tricky, and we hope that there's
(35:18):
more to it to make it make sense. But thank
you dB, thank you Fox Sports RADI. If you have

And that was Derringer. His biggest solo hit, we said
earlier in the show, passed away at the age of

And that was one of those same guy that wrote
rock and Roll hoochi Q. His biggest hit is the
same guy that I Am the Real your favorite WWF classic.
No what else he wrote and performed Here Comes the X,
(36:47):
Here Comes a Smasher. He did a lot of wrestling
songs and Derringer was in the McCoy's, but his biggest
song was that one, right the eng Yes, sir, rock
and roll hoo chi q can? I first of all,
say had to Rob Baker, who's coming in listening in
San Antonio to our affiliate there? What's up?
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Rob? Hey?
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Rob?
Speaker 1 (37:04):
And I gotta throw a name to you guys, because
I feel like it's twenty four years later.
Speaker 3 (37:10):
Oh boy.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
But if I give you a name, I'm curious if
you will be like, of course, I know if I
said the name Danny al Monte, is that a name
that everyone knows? Yeah? For course, cheater.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
I was saying that he had a mustache. I was saying,
do you know that name? Or you just going along
with us?
Speaker 3 (37:29):
Now?
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Danny al Monte? Would you have known? He's the she
founded that fruit company?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
No, last del Monte.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
He was the Little leaguer who was like twenty five
years old a mustache. Yeah, and everyone was like, yo, man,
that ain't fair. He's the reason some parents. Yeah, let's
see it. Birth certificate. Yeah, actually I was fourteen, I think,
Danny g I'm so glad you said that. The two
thousand and one Little League World Series, with his high
leg kick and a fastball that reached seventy six miles
(37:57):
an hour, the equivalent of one hundred and two miles
an hour from the shorter Little League U Pitcher's Mount. Yeah,
he was five eight, he was a sensation. Turns out
he was way too old to be playing a not
way too I was exaggering he was like fourteen fifteen,
but saying he was what eleven or twelve? Yeah? Yeah.
And I bring this up because I'm coaching five you
(38:21):
do you hear me when I say that five you
like T ball kids. I don't even know how we
picked all stars. I think it's just kids that want
to keep playing that are into it, not just by
the way. I just searched how old was Danny Almonte
and it's just thirty eight years old. That's how old
he is now. Twenty four? Yeah he was he was fourteen? Yeah, okay,
so he was about fourteen back then. And I wonder
(38:42):
if he's the reason. Is he the reason Danny g
why for my get this five you kindergarten and t
K kids that I'm doing this little fun all star
travel thing I have to present. I'm not even bsing
you at the beginning of each game. The league's like, yeah,
you have to have your binder ready, like my binder.
(39:04):
You got a trapper keeper. I have to have essentially
a trapper keeper of birth certificates and proof of age
for my kids. Is this the Daniel Monte effect twenty
four years later? Sure, No, it definitely is. Man. Yeah,
it was a very big deal.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
There was a big news story last week where a
girl playing softball. They made her cry because the other
team asked to see a birth certificate on her because
she was a big girl.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Little league or you know, little kids softball sort of
let's see the hands to see if there's any spider
tag on it. Yeah, to be honest, it's funny that
I have to have proof of address, proof of residency,
and a binder of their birth certificate. It's like I
had to tell every parent like group text, hey, for
our first meet up for the All Star team, bring
(39:48):
your kids birth certificate. That seems crazy to me. They're fine.
Speaker 3 (39:51):
I blame the movie Ladybugs.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
You know, spot's a great it's a great blame there.
I agree, But hey, if you're doing that coaching life,
it's uh, now's the time where everyone's in the All
Stars and travel and if you don't remember the story, again,
Daniel Monte was a kid from the Bronx, Dominican kid
from the Bronx, big lefty kid. He was fourteen competing
against eleven to twelve year old will play like minor
(40:14):
league ball. But he played for a long time I remember.
But I just, man, I just felt real bad seeing
that he's thirty eight now. It's like where did the
time flies? Right, Jay stew I know he hates that,
but man, that's crazy. I think that's a great use
of time flies. Because if I say, Dannie al Monte,
forever think he's a little leaguer, you know, you think, oh,
you have the two thousand bubs like five ten years ago. No, no, no,
(40:36):
Daniel Monte, the little league kid that posed as an
eleven year old at fourteen is now a thirty eight
year old man. He's approaching his fortieth birthday. The kid
who you think of as a cheating little leaguer exactly.
So there you go, have a great Tuesday. We'll see
you guys tomorrow and enjoy the NBA playoffs or even
there for your baby. See you in the Promised Land.
