Speaker 2 (00:16):
On the iHeartRadio app by searching the FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I hate not watching something that I feel like everyone
else is watching. And you brought it up earlier today
when we were hanging that it's the Love Island rage.
Is everyone just that bored with the ending of the
NHL on the NBA Baseball crash of the highest regard
me it is like the highest level, but the NYG
nailed it. It's not that people of our generation should

(00:45):
like it at all. If you do, I'd question your mentality.
I mean a lot of people love it, dude. No,
a lot of people love it, but they're under like
twenty five. It is for younger people. So the fun
in it for our generation is young people watching just
to see how dumb they are and to see what
they're talking about and to catch up on some of
the goofy things they say.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
So it's like, you know, when you go to Vegas.
We just came back from Vegas.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
One of the best parts of Vegas is people watching
the one shoe dirty foot clubs, clubs, stumblers that come
stumbling out of the club at night with one shoe on.
You know, it's just fun to watch them. Yeah, fun
to watch what they're wearing and what they're talking about,
what they're doing. That's what you get from this show.
It's a train wreck and it's on every night. Like

(01:26):
the NYG mentioned yesterday, I'm fascinated. Much like you know,
you get all this uncensored content on streaming services and
you wonder, you know, how does a bachelor survive. It's
not going to answer when you have Love Island and
everything's uncensored. Cheeks are out anything spots on the Bachelor.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Meanwhile on Love.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Island, they're like, that's why it's not renewed. They do
slow mow bash shaking.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Here's the lesson in a nutshell, don't get beat in
your own game ever in life. Don't be the blockbuster
of life and get beat by Netflix. Because the Bachelor
is going to get beat by the Love Islands of
the world because they just can't compete. They didn't pivot
to a brand where you could do anything on streaming service.
I didn't realize they can get that runchy and raw

(02:15):
on Peacock, but apparently they can.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Have you never seen Dan Patrick pulls pants down?

Speaker 1 (02:19):
No, I haven't, but I guess you can because they
do on Love Island. But that being said, it's a
modern day soap opera. It's on every night. You follow
these young idiots on an island trying to find love.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
And that's to be the sports.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
It's every night and there's always drama, and it's fun
and you don't have to see anyone's ass.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Well, sometimes you want to, I mean sometimes you want it.
Not in sports.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
I will say this, though you're talking about innovative die.
That's the quote of one of our pals, Gary Vaynerchuk.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
They door die.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
I feel like the way Love Island has made you
think the Bachelor's lame. I think baseball took the ripe
pivots over the last couple of years. Pitchclock, bigger basis,
pizza boxes. As Rob Parker says, they have to make
those changes because then they'll be beat out by banana ball.
More get beat in your own game more bat flips more,

(03:11):
you know, theatrics. I think baseball is pivoting, and as
you can tell, ratings are up. People are really interested
in baseball more than they've been in about a decade,
because I think baseball saw the writing on the wall
that it was being considered boring and long, and honestly,
things like banana Ball were starting to infiltrate. So don't
think things like Big Three won't infiltrate the NBA unless

(03:32):
they make it. You see it happening, and that's why
you got to appoard, applaud major League Baseball. I think
they are in fact realizing that, oh they have the
moment to really be big right now, because baseball has
a lot of young stars right now, especially since there's
nothing really else going on, unless, of course, you're a
WNBA fan. Let me tell you the Dodgers, Padres, Shenanigans.

(03:55):
Tell me that's not good for baseball? Of course it is.
How how do you not love what's going on there?
Lean into it. People love it. You know, teams like
the Mets and Yankees going through these big losing streaks,
a lot of great young pitching. You heard Dan Bayer
talk about in the update, So hey, baseball's on fire,
and I want to talk about something that went down

(04:17):
in baseball last night. Now, this is not a good thing.
I think this is trash bag behavior. Well, hold on
the heights. We're talking about not getting beating your own game.
It seems like Love Island's beaten Bachelor, Netflick's Netflix fleaks. Well,
we hispanics say Netflicks, Netflix beat Blockbuster in their own game.
Amazon beat Barnes and Noble in their own game. It

(04:38):
goes on and on and on because people didn't pivot
or change it up. As a broadcaster, should I stand
up and cut my sleeves off and just be like
Pat McAfee, just stand up the whole time, those sleeves standing.
My girlfriend was watching the other day. She's like, why
doesn't he sit down.

Speaker 3 (04:53):
I'm like, I don't know.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Maybe I have to look into it. Maybe I'll just
stand up the whole Peace occasionally sits down like a
high stool. He since I'm not going to be beating
my own game, these sleeves are coming off pretty soon.
I'm just letting you know, good thing, you can do
a gun show doing arms at the gym. We might
change the name of the show. To Gun Show, The
Gun Show with Covinos owing rich. So that being said,

(05:15):
speaking about baseball and some of the pivots they made
that keep them relevant because as we've been saying, I
quote Dean Sanders, Baseball's popping now, it really is. Baseball
is popping. There's young superstars, the just lots going on.
There's a story in baseball from last night that we
have to discuss. Diamondbacks, white socks, Arizona's could tell Marte,

(05:41):
I can't.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Say young superstar. He's thirty one.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I mean he's young in life, but he's not necessarily
young in baseball.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
He's around.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Last couple of years, he's emerged as one of the
hot bats in the NL. He's a star. Yeah, three
twenty batting average, which is like four to twenty in
today's world, fifteen home runs for an outfielder halfway there,
and that's a pretty solid season.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
He's building right now.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Talking about a guy that's on pace for thirty dingers
beat in three hundred. That's that's top level hitting. What's
cool about it is he's having a career. Well, he's
had a bunch of great years. He had thirty six
home runs last year, twenty five the year before, but
it looks like he's on pace for one of his
best years ever. This is his eleventh plus year in
the league, so I'm always saying that to establish that

(06:23):
he's a great player. You probably know Katel Marte, but
he's not a young guy. And that was, you know,
my first thing. Oh, he's probably really young, but I'm like, Noah,
but he's been in a league for a long time.
Last night, it's at realization when you're like, damn, we're
all getting older, when I'm like, wait, Kevin Durant's been
in basketball for twenty years, I know what, and his
stats are still the same thing.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
So it's always, you.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Know, I hate when life passes us by, but you
realize that a lot as a sports fan. When you're like,
when you heard something not to go to basketball, When
you heard Kevin Durant talk about yeah, like a couple
decades in the NBA, I'm.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
Like, what I mean, Aaron Rodgers twenty years? I know,
you mean the guy that's backing up Brett Fava. Oh yeah,
we were kids.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Damn it.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Marte's been in there for a minute now, I know.
But he had a moment and I'm gonna be honest.
I'm gonna give you my first reaction to the moment.
He's on the mound. Arizona manager Tory Lavulo got his
arm around him, players got their arm around them. He's

(07:26):
sort of sobbing in a moment, caught up in tears.
And during the broadcast they allude to the fact that
he must have got bad news. At least that's what
I was thinking as well. That was my impression, like, Oh,
he must have got some bad news, which could happen.
Life happens right when baseball's going on. Something maybe happened,
Maybe something happened that day. We don't know what's going on.

(07:48):
But he's in tears and come to find out that
a twenty two year old fan said something about his mom,
who passed away in a tragic car accident in twenty
seven in the Dominican Republic. My first reaction was, Man,
why do you let the fans get to you?

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Dude?

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Really, you're a big leaguer being heckled all the time.
I can't believe you let the fans get to you
like that. I didn't judge them by any means, but
that was my first reaction, Like really, you let these
dumb ass fans get to you like that. Bro, I'm
surprised you don't have a thicker skin. That really was
my first reaction. You're in the big leagues, dude. You

(08:27):
ever sit in the bleachers in the Bronx. I've heard
some horrible things being said to players, ma'am, and even
a young player has to know or has the ability
to tune it out, and they do. I've seen it.
So that was my first reaction. Then I put it
up to Spot because here I am sitting sitting handsome

(08:49):
on this microphone with both my parents at home, so
I don't know what it's like to lose a parent
tragically like that, and I don't know what could trigger
somebody because we were talking about it before, and that's
why we like to have these open discussions because I
know everybody's like tough enough.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
There's no crying in baseball.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
Spot was like, hey, dude, anything could trigger you, and
I'm like, you know what that is true. I could
be driving in the car and hear a song that
I didn't even know meant anything to me, and all
of a sudden, I'm all emotional because I don't know.
Maybe it made me think of my daughter or something.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
All standing by Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
And my daughter is a beautiful, successful teenager. But like,
oh man, I never realized that I connected that song
to her and something Falter's commercial could hit you out
of nowhere. So maybe this kid because I looked everywhere.
Unles Dan Bayer has an update. I don't know what
this kid said that triggered him, but it could be
as simple as that he was triggered.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
Right, spotty.

Speaker 5 (09:45):
Yeah, I mean, you have good days and bad days.
There's memories that pop up. Just because time has gone
by doesn't make the feeling any less intense. True, this
is what like eight years ago now eight years ago,
and like you were saying things that triggered Like the
worst thing I ever found out, I think Rich told
me was that that song drops of Jupiter by Train
is about his dead mother. And it's like, so now

(10:05):
anytime I hear something like that, I'm just bawling my
eyes Thiggy, your late mother. Yeah, So it's like, you know,
things are triggered. And if you're like especially in the
I'm sure the heat of competition pulls up all sorts
of emotions that might.

Speaker 1 (10:16):
Be the number one triggering song in all of the land.
He has such a beautiful, beautiful song now that she's
back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in Hey.
I mean maybe not when I sing it, but my
good But if you don't know that song Pat Monahan
wrote right after his mother passed away of train. It's

(10:37):
about his mom going into the afterlife, traveling through outer space.
But you know, your first instinct wash, how does he
let those jackass fans bother the honest one, I'm not
proud of it, but I'm like, dude, you're a big leg,
you're your thirty one. Never let him see a sweat.
So the question is should players have thicker skin or
is that understandable when you put it in the perspective
of hey, we're all human and you never know what

(10:59):
gets you Sometimes.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
My first instinct quite the opposite. My instinct was.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
You're the greatest.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
Tell me, I'm just kidd I mean you could leave
it at that. Tell me what was your first instinct?
My first instinct is what piece is? What pos?

Speaker 6 (11:16):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (11:17):
Yeah, what type of trash bag do you have to
be to taunt someone about their dead family? Mets like,
that's a type of behavior that that guy deserves a
karate kick. But does you understand that's also like you're
giving this loser that much.

Speaker 2 (11:31):
Power due why's the guy gotta be a loser in
the first place? He's not a loser?

Speaker 1 (11:34):
What two year old loser says that you're really gonna
take it that much to heart, like you're a loser.
You're here watching me in a stance talking smack you
loser to ever give anybody that much prespers.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
By the way, the fan knew that he went overboard
because after this indefinite suspension or band from the ballpark. Yeah,
it's the article I'm reading here says he expressed remorse
for his action.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yo, if Kettle Marte kicked this guy in the nuts
and left them late in the parking lot, would anyone
be said about that? Oh, that's the funny thing. Like,
you know, back in the day, a guy like Ty
Cobb would have probably pulled this guy by the collar
and punched him right in the nose and called it
even it's not the world to be live in anymore.
So if he had to sit there and deal with
it and whatever was said, and I don't know, but
what I do know is that was confirmed. It was

(12:18):
confirmed that this dude said this confirmed that he was
heckling him about his mom. This reminds me of back
in the day Kavino went to a game at Yankee Stadium.
You probably remember your own story and the Yankee bleacher
creatures known to be not the most noble of individual
I mean, they go by creatures.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Coulvino.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
You have told the story where I forget who there was.
There was a player on a team who had recently
lost a family member, and the bleacher creatures in the
Bronx were taunting this outfield. They're saying things like.

Speaker 2 (12:50):
Your mother's pushing up daisies. She's dead. That's exactly what
they said.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Now I'm thinking, like again, Kettle Marte, I get it,
crying the mound, letting emotions get the best of you.
I think free pass. I think these kids, younger people now.
Why don't want to sound like a boomer, because I'm not.
We're in our forties. But I feel like younger people,
twenty two year old idiot. Younger people now, I think
don't have the accountability of other generations because no one

(13:18):
is there to kick him in the ass. I feel
like kids now, don't think about.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
Everybody had the planning to other punched in the face.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
They don't think about the repercussions. Like who goes to
a game and thinks it's okay to taunt the guy
about his dead mom? Like who on earth would say
that's okay? Stupid and drinking probably, and you mix alcohol
with stupidity, anything could happen, and like you said, no repercussions,

(13:46):
he is banned though that was the update from Dan Byer,
but your first reaction, And believe me, Rich, I got
friends talking about it on group chats and there is
an honest sentiment. Yeah, maybe people wouldn't say this on
the radio, but they're saying it on my phone. Come on,
tough enough, bro. So it's like should a player have

(14:08):
thicker skin? Or is it understandable? And I got to
give Spot the credit. Who's on our videos Fox Sports
Radios YouTube and at Covino and Rich and at Fox
Sports Radio said, hey man.

Speaker 3 (14:19):
Anything could trigger you.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
And again, I'm very fortunate, blessed to still have my parents.
But I do understand where he's coming from when he
says that.

Speaker 2 (14:30):
Call where's the line?

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Because listen, we're all gonna unfortunately lose our parents at
some point. That's the line was cross. That's the circle
of life. But I am surprised that it brought him
to tears. No parent wants to ever outlive their child.
Where's the line? What if someone what if some athlete
lost their kid? And I mean, you're just scum of

(14:51):
the earth, rob Zombie style. But I'm saying sum of
the earth if you're bringing that up. But I'm saying
these levels of family, But how about just stay away
from fam all together?

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Yeah? I agree.

Speaker 2 (15:01):
You know with.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Trash talking, that's that's an unwritten rule that you do
not talk about the other person's family. You don't go there.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
You always leave, kids leave. You want to taunt me
and make fun. I mean, that's just how life works, period.
That's the unwritten rule of fighting and taunting and smack talking.
I didn't feel like that's sort of like a mild
unwritten rule of social media, even like yo hate. You
could go on Twitter, X, the Instagram anywhere and say
that Yo Covino and Rich you suck. I mean that

(15:31):
rule applies here. You're not gonna like everything we say.
You might not like us, and you have the right
to your opinion. You're entitled to your wrong opinion, but
you bring our family into it, that's when it gets
line crossing any time. But okay, so let me be fair. Yeah,
it's understandable that he was in tears and upset and
maybe he was just like maybe he was so what's

(15:52):
the word I'm looking for, Like maybe he just felt
so bad as someone would stoop that low, right, and
it made him emotion disgusted by it. He was so
hurt and disgusted that it brought him to those emotions.
I'm just surprised to see it. And that's not from
a judgment standpoint really at all. I was surprised to

(16:13):
see the guy in tears, and I was surprised to
hear the reason.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
It's sadly, it's almost like a club unless you've gone
through it. Yeah, you don't understand it, Like when I
lost I've lost both my parents, But like when I
lost my mother and my wife saw my emotion, she
like was there for me, but she didn't fully get it,
and then she lost her father and then find out
she was. She even said to me, She's like, I
get it now. So it's like until you've been through
that type of emotion. I believe that you don't understand

(16:38):
it so as you know, we look at it, and
you look at it as this is a grown man
who's playing sports who shouldn't be crying on the field.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
Okay, then why would have you seen it before?

Speaker 3 (16:46):
Though?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I mean maybe that's why I'm also surprised that it happened.
At your shock that you see a grown man crying
on the field and letting his emotions get you know,
dictated by some you know, peel us in the stands.
Are you equally shocked that someone would go there? Like
I know you're saying there's a lot of trash out there,

(17:07):
but you really get you're giving people way too much.

Speaker 3 (17:10):
You're not shocked.

Speaker 5 (17:10):
There's so many we just we just talked last week
about uh that was actually during MIDWEK major about sports
betting and how sports betting has made fans think they're
in you know, invincible when talking to players because they're
affecting their their bottom line. They're they're uh threatening them.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
They're threatening their family, high fiving because they got in
his head until they realized how severe it was.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
Because a lot of these people.

Speaker 5 (17:36):
People social media has invessed with people's minds to think
that they can get away with anyone.

Speaker 3 (17:40):
All these keyboard warriors.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Think that they could say whatever they want and do
whatever they want, and then when it happens in real life, like,
oh man, maybe I maybe I can't or maybe I shouldn't.
So Dan buyer your thoughts again, I'm saying understandable, but
I was surprised.

Speaker 2 (17:55):
I can't lie about that. I think, honestly, it's a little.

Speaker 7 (18:00):
It's a little weird to hear me or to have
to hear you say, because I don't know what hell
you would die on for that. Like I just I
feel like there's a line, as Danny said, family off limits,
you know, like just off limits.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
I'm not dying on a hill.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
The hill I'm dying on is I would never give
any twenty two year old pencil neck dork the power
to upset me that much. And as a guy in
a professional baseball league, I'm surprised he hasn't heard it before.
I'm not saying that he's a weenie for crying, or
what a loser, or what a softy pants or anything
like that. I'm saying what a loser this guy is
to be saying that. But I don't let you can't

(18:36):
let people affect you.

Speaker 7 (18:37):
In that way. I'm surprised that it did. It could
go day by day. Yesterday maybe just wasn't could tell
Mart's day. The other thing that I thought about this
was this isn't well known. I didn't know that could
tell Martes's mother was killed in a car ect and
so it took some research or by somebody who knew.
So it took some effort to do that. Here's the

(18:58):
other thing that I actually kind of feel bad about
is so we see it today on social media. The
white sox on their scoreboard plays a sign that says
we stand by you could tell Marte. Now on local
news in Arizona's like, hey, when they come back home
Friday for their series standing over. So this is now
continually being brought up, you know, like where he's now,

(19:21):
he's got to see that. So now guess what. Now
there could be emotions again now on Friday. Guess what
more emotions when he probably just wants to play baseball.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Dude, I'm so glad you brought that up, because here
was the other thought I had when they disclosed the information.
I'm like, you just opened up the floodgates to what
triggered this guy for any other scumbag fan out there
that wants to mess with him, and now he has
to deal with this sort of treatment. I follow you

(19:50):
there there, like sometimes if you know, sometimes you're giving
idiots their trigger exactly right, Like everybody has one, now
you and now you know, you gave other teams and
other fans that that ammunition and not everybody's that sweet
and that nice, and when alcohol is involved. So it
did get me thinking a million things. And I saw

(20:12):
the manager say he wants to defend his players and
everyone was there for him, and I thought that was great.
It was a surprising thing, though, because again fans are
routing gross and they have been forever. So I'm surprised
that the first time we've seen this that I know, I.

Speaker 7 (20:26):
And he may take it as away. It's great to
see the love. Great to see the love from the
White Sox fans. It'll be great to see the love
from the Arizona fans when he comes home. But it
is just he was put in a situation that he
had no control over. And also he couldn't do anything
if some guy came up to, you know, to any
of us in a bar or somewhere else, like there
would be some sort of confrontation to it. Coutell Marte

(20:49):
knows that he's powerless in that situation, So I think
that that has a Yeah, there's also a lot to
that because it's almost like a pure sense of meanness.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Another question, it's very cruel.

Speaker 1 (21:02):
Here's another question, Dan and Danny G and Sam, you
guys might know the answer to this. This isn't the
first time we've heard band in sports are banned at
the stadium. Does I'll tell you how it's gonna work
moving forward? No, seriously, I'll tell you it's gonna move
at the airport securities moving forward. If you've been to
the Intuit Dome where the Clippers play, you walk in,

(21:22):
they scan your face. Now, in the past, it might
have been trickier, like yeah, just go there with.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
The other fake mustache.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
But now I'm telling you, when I went to the
Intuitdome for the first time with the Clippers play, the
technology is there where I walked in and like welcome Richard.
I'm like, oh, so in the future, the same minority report,
you know, when you go to.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
The Danny G.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
When we go to fights in Vegas. You go scan
your ID, you go grab two beers out of the shelf. Yeah,
and it knows to charge your credit card. The technology
will be there that it's not going to be easy
for these scumbags to sneak in anymore. And by the way,
I want to make it very clear, I'm not defending
this twenty two year old idiot by any means. I'm
just surprised by what I saw, and no even trying

(22:01):
to have a fair conversation because I know no one
wants to admit it because it sounds insensitive. There's a
huge side of people are like, hey man, you gotta
have tougher skin, and there is another side of people
are there like, yeah, man, it's completely understandable.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
So I'm trying.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yes, I don't know, I feel like everyone understands sensitivity.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
More to your phone, talk to your friends. But even
Martine's manager kind of said something in line with your thoughts. Coffino.
Part of his quote says, no matter what happens, no
matter what was said or what you heard, that guy's
an idiot. It shouldn't have an impact on you. That's
what he told him, you know, out of his arm
around him.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
We're very conditioned in today's world to sort of like
deal with losers and scumbags. To be honest, You see
the stuff that people say about you sometimes and me
sometimes just because we do a radio show. I mean,
we can't let that stuff get to us. Hey, could
it be a bad day? Like Dan Byer said, could
anything tuggers? Absolutely? And that's why we brought it up.

(22:58):
It's just another way to look at it. Anything could
trigger anybody. Your thoughts. I feel bad for Catel Marte.
That guy is a loser. I'm glad he's banned for life.
Your thoughts after seeing that? Let us know eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox Plus, we got Mike's Wednesday
Words of Wisdom and Midweek Major pay for both of
those things. Fans that are just trash? You know, is

(23:23):
there a line that you can't cross?

Speaker 2 (23:25):
I say yes.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
I feel like family, you know, wives, spouse's dead, relatives
like you call out stuff like that.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
What if piece of garbage?

Speaker 3 (23:33):
You are?

Speaker 2 (23:34):
What's going to pretend like it doesn't happen all the time.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
You even told a story that I told you from
a Yankees game, But to pretend like it doesn't happen,
is absurd. That's why I said there was a part
of me that was surprised that it got to him,
but also understandable that everybody has a moment or a trigger.
So you know, you're saying like you're surprised. How can
we be surprised that when you mix alcohol with scumbags

(23:58):
these things could.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Happen all right in Seattle. You're on Kevino on Ritch.

Speaker 8 (24:02):
Hey, buddy, Hey, how you doing. I want to just
cover a couple things real quick. I think that some communities,
some cultures value their moms and their grandmothers way differently
than other people. Not that everybody doesn't love their mom
and their grandmother.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
That's a great point.

Speaker 8 (24:14):
And I think that anybody on a given day, if
someone was to say something about, you know, your wife
had a miscarriage, or your mother was killed, or your
one of your family members was murdered, there's no guarantee
that that's not going to hurt any average person. The
second thing I want to say is people who do
stuff like that, they always want to pick someone who
they know is financially not able to respond. He would

(24:37):
never walk out on the streets and say that to me.
He would never walk out on the streets and say
that to you. He would never walk up to Mike
Tyson and say that he's only doing that because he
knows there's a position that player can't operate outside of.
That's the level of cowardices that fan had.

Speaker 2 (24:52):
Yeah, that's a fact, you know.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
A great call. He brought some great points And what.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Does the old phrase hurt people? Hurt people?

Speaker 3 (24:59):
Like?

Speaker 2 (24:59):
What what type of demented persons you need to be
to even have it inside you?

Speaker 3 (25:03):
We're just your last living brain selling that at moment, I'm.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
Just saying, like, you've got to be a pretty miserable
person in life to even go to those depths to
talk about someone's Like he said, someone's wife had a miscarriage,
or their parent died or their kid died.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Like, we wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. You
wouldn't do it.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
We always say that's the number one test, Well would
you do it? Not even in a million years. He
brought up another point, and again I thought about this
from all sorts of angles because it was wild, because
we'd never really seen it like this, right, And we
talked about this recently. Rich my rare ability to compartmentalize
whatever's going on in my life, yet still do a

(25:39):
radio show every day. We all have that ability. You
mentioned that I have a great ability, you have a
unique ability.

Speaker 2 (25:47):
For all we know, he.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
Has that same ability, and he's not thinking about those things.
And then it's all of a sudden brought into that
reality and he's not used to that. You know, he
wasn't thinking about those type of things. I mean on
a day to day basis, people bump into people. You
want to, you know, like I said, punch in the neck,
but you don't cause you have your restraint and you're
a mature adult. Kaitel Marte is handcuffed here. He can't

(26:12):
do a thing, and this guy's trash. Jesse and Indiana,
what's up?

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Man?

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (26:16):
How's it going? Boys?

Speaker 3 (26:17):
What's up?

Speaker 4 (26:19):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (26:19):
So?

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Yeah, I mean I wholeheartedly agree.

Speaker 6 (26:22):
With what Reich said.

Speaker 4 (26:23):
I mean, I have personally gone through a miscarriage and
you know, I couldn't even just even seeing a baby
would make me tear up.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
But you know, now, imagine.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
If you're a pro ballplayer.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Imagine imagine Jesse, if you're a pro ballplayer and someone
taught you about you and your wife and they bring
that into your competitive mindset when you're like, what, yeah,
you're caught off guard.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Yeah, yeah, it's wild.

Speaker 9 (26:48):
Right.

Speaker 6 (26:48):
I don't know how.

Speaker 4 (26:50):
I don't know how Kattel moved even in the mindset
to be able to go out there and play after
hearing that.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, Tyler, Connecticut, your thoughts on Martin?

Speaker 3 (27:01):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (27:02):
Hey?

Speaker 6 (27:02):
How you doing? You must be in the league of
your own because there's no crime in baseball, right apparently,
I mean.

Speaker 1 (27:10):
If you want to reference that, yeah, no, because you
don't think there's an older generation of people that are like, man,
there's a reason I don't know, Rich we haven't seen
this before.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
We just haven't.

Speaker 6 (27:21):
I'm saying, listen, as someone who's lost both their parents, like,
there's no amount of time for grieving, right, Some say, oh,
you know, your mom died a couple of years ago,
like a couple.

Speaker 4 (27:31):
Of years ago, twenty years.

Speaker 6 (27:32):
Ago, there's no amount of time for grieving, right, Yeah,
And we don't know what he was going through that yesterday, Right,
he could have been going through other shit for other stuff.

Speaker 2 (27:40):
Excuse me, it's okay, we got you, We got you.

Speaker 6 (27:46):
He could have been going through other stuff and you
just never know one more thing though, real quick, Yeah,
you said you don't you know, you shouldn't he shouldn't
cried or whatnot. He shouldn't even give the twenty two
year old the time of day right to show him
that anything, right.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
The power to get you like that right, the power right.

Speaker 6 (28:05):
But we've been talking about him now for an hour
on the National Public Radio.

Speaker 3 (28:11):
No, we're talking.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
About what happened. We're not giving this guy props, not
like this guy names. Honestly, this guy is the word.
He's the weakest, the weakest.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Of the week.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I'm glad he's banned for life. I don't think there's
any exceptions there. I'm glad to hear the update. I'm
glad that he was pointed out. I'm glad they had
the actual proof and they had confirmation of what he
said and what he did.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
You know, we didn't say that. We didn't say the
fans name, hell, no anything.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
We're making an example of bad behavior that you should
avoid as a human being.

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
So I think everyone's on the same page. And you
know what, I get what you're saying. There's a lot
of old cats that are like crying. You know what,
I think changed that Horse to are rich. You don't
think that there's older guys that are like Wade Box
would never do that.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I think that most of those people are dead.

Speaker 3 (28:54):
No, they are.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
I think Mike Schmid changed all this when he cried.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
I think you're right.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Actually, I remember Mike Schmidt crying at the Hall of
Fame and like that was a beame changer.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
People being like, wow.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I mean if Mike Schmid's crying and show that's what
he retired was. Yeah, something like that. So hey, your
thoughts will get him. But let's go to Dan Buy
for an update.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
dB.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Thanks for your input, by the way. Also that it's
a wild story.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
No problem. Absolutely love to do it.

Speaker 7 (29:20):
Major League Baseball in action today, Marte one zero for
four in the series ender in Chicago against the White Sox.
White Sox ended up winning seven to three to salvage
the final game in that three game set. As I
mentioned earlier, Diamondbacks have tomorrow off. They will then start
a series with the Marlins coming up on Friday. NBA
Draft is tonight and Mavericks have the first overall pick,

(29:42):
as the first round will take place this evening starting
at eight o'clock Eastern time. Second round takes place tomorrow.
Are you trying to trigger me?

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (29:56):
Trying to trigger me Bro by the way, you're trying
to have a full on discussion, And what caveman feedback
we got on social media.

Speaker 3 (30:08):
Clean your ears out, you bozos.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
But for the rest of you, love you Covino and
Rich on Fox Sports Radio, and it's time for a
ti Rack Play of the Day.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
The Angels walked it off last night and.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
It's an hard at a White Center feel pretty deep
out fails.

Speaker 3 (30:30):
It might be a home run. Moore's rating on his
way to third.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
The game is tied.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
At least that's more not to truckle un dickis won
it shaded.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
To the Red Sox.

Speaker 3 (30:40):
That's a home run.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Look at that fan Dual Sports Network West. That's our
play of the day. We have Midweek Major We do
it every Wednesday. The biggest stories in the world of
the sports and pop culture. Are they mid mid stories
week or major stories. We'll discuss plus Mike's Wednesday Words
of Wisdom. We got like six Mike wh runs this place.

(31:04):
We have like six or seven Swiggies with the Swaggy
left and we're gonna move on to nerve footballs. At
least we're trying to right for giveaways. But we have
like six swiggies left. We gave away a ton in Vegas.
If you missed our Friday broadcast from Vegas, catching on
the podcast, so get your hands on one now why
you can and play Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.

Speaker 2 (31:23):
If you could repeat his words verbatim.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
You win.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
We're gonna get to all the stuff you just said.
But I feel fresh off of our big party in Vegas.
You feel fresh. I'm still recovering. I feel like I
don't have my voice left. I think I left it
in Vegas. I lost it. I would argue that no
one has ever had more fun at a radio show
or podcast event ever. It was so much fun. And

(31:48):
then I'm like, who party better than us? You know
who's trying to one up us? Who tight end university?

Speaker 3 (31:55):
Taylor Swift's performing?

Speaker 2 (31:57):
I mean, did we have Taylor shop perform? No good?

Speaker 3 (31:59):
I'm glad she was a surprise performer.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I gotta ask to act acting like you wouldn't have
wanted her perform.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
We had Javier Sam.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
We had Sam dancing in the ballroom.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's more fun to me, but you see Taylor Swift
with her surprise performance, and it was created as you know,
by Greg Olsen, my dude, George Kittle and Travis Kelce.
George Kittle, you mean the future WWE Superstar. I love
George Kittle. You know this just signed a big deal
with my Niners. So I got to ask random quick

(32:31):
question before you get into all that other stuff. Is
there a position in any sport that has more fun
than tight ends?

Speaker 3 (32:38):
In the NFL?

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Like a cool position? I feel like out of nowhere.
When we were kids, it was like Brent Jones and fun.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah, some fun.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
Yeah, I'm saying like you had the wild guy like
you can think back to some of the random tight
ends of the eighties and nineties, but they didn't have
the role that a tight end has now. Like guys
like Jimmy Graham sort of paved the way, Like I said,
who is the cowboy?

Speaker 3 (32:58):
Was it Novacheck?

Speaker 1 (33:00):
Then you have Tony Gonzalez and Bren Jones, Like, but
now the tight ends is such a hot position, dude,
your boy Brock Bowers like it definitely that cool position
that rough sort of having fun kind of guy. Receivers
are the flashy, trash talking type is it the closer
in baseball? Like is therewager thing? Like you know, like

(33:21):
a swagger that like some closers in baseball have. They
have their entrance music and lights out when they come in.
Sort of started by Mariano Rivera Tai Bright. It's a
personality type for sure. Is there anyone so answer me there?
Who else would you put in the category of tight
ends and baseball closers? No one know who I need
to get it going? Your me's your former pal, Clay

(33:42):
Holmes is on the hill tonight.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Guy's terrible.

Speaker 2 (33:44):
He's actually even good.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
I'm just kidding. He's got all the tools in the way. Look,
you have to remember I peaked in Little League. So
when I see terrible, I mean, come on, he's the
he's the man. But he needs to get it together.
That guy, he throws gas, but he to figure out
very consistent. You need to figure out why the Mets
can't beat the Atlanta Braves. Mets can't beat anybody. Neither

(34:05):
could the Yankees. Like you know, that's what's fun about baseball,
the ups and downs of the full season. And Danny
your Dodgers will well, they'll have it down at some point.

Speaker 3 (34:14):
It happens. You know, dude, this has been for me
at least a great baseball season so far, because at
first it seemed like your Yankees and your Mets were
going to be neck and neck with my Dodgers this
whole time, and in the past couple of weeks the
wheels have fallen off, and I feel like I'm gonna
win the MLBA bet that you guys have. Dodgers are
gonna slay it.

Speaker 2 (34:34):
Tigers are doing great, the met Ras Mets have lost
ten of eleven.

Speaker 3 (34:39):
That is not and neck, neck and neck more like
Drek and drag good one rimshotting.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
By the way, Dodgers three games better than the Mets
and the Yankees right now. In fact, as we said yesterday,
surprisingly the best team in baseball on pace.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
Listen there they played eighty games.

Speaker 1 (34:59):
The Detroit tyge are fifty and thirty, which is you
know again right there, perfect landpace for one hundred and
sixty add two more games. Speaking of your Mets this hour,
I don't know if you saw it, the Mets dfaded
reliever Dicky love Lady, the Mets have designated Dickie love
Lady for assignment, was called up earlier this week had
a sixteen point two era, did even play in the.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Loss to the Braves.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Wasn't that your nickname in the two thousand Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
That was Yeah Rich's nickname, And I want you to
keep that name on your mind because we're going to
discuss it in a second, like the goofiest memorable funny
sports names just based on Dicky love lady.

Speaker 2 (35:39):
But like we do.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
Every Wednesday, you guys ready to get weat some prizes.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Yeah, let's do it. Mike's words of wisdom. It's time
for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 7 (35:50):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 3 (35:59):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. It's
so funny.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
Mike was at our big Vegas event over the weekend,
and you know how any listeners went up to him
and we're like, so you're like a big dog at
iHeart you really right, and like I'm the spire would.

Speaker 3 (36:14):
Have been dying.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Dan. I'm not saying Mike doesn't have power, but you
would have got to kick out of how many people
think He's like the ball.

Speaker 3 (36:20):
It's why I didn't go, you know, yeah, because Big
Mike didn't approve your travel.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
Yeah, because he has to improve everything. They got off
on everything.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Because everyone was like, yo, you're Mike who runs this place.
Dan would have had him interjected every time like he
runs nothing.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
Hold on, god on.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (36:38):
Well it was great. Is one point at the bar
night Trip Friday night there, Trip stood up and he said, hey,
your Mike, who doesn't run anything. Yeah, and I'm like, see,
Trip gets it.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
He knows well. Mike leaves us with words of wisdom
every Wednesday. If you repeat them verbatim, word for word,
you win a coveted seeing our swiggy. I was saying
you for the words of wisdom. I want to add
one little thing to this.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
This is a tricky one, but there's a there's two
words at rhyme, so have that be a tool for
you to hopefully get a verbatim.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Here we go. Now this is tricky, right, in order
to live a life most people don't, you must be
willing to do what most people won't.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Go a little tricky get I get, And if you
want that coveted swiggy, we have like six or seven
left and then we're moving on to a different prize.
But it's that stainless steel water bottle. Of that bottle
that everyone's talking about, that Midnight Black super Sleek. I
think I already dynamic. There's a level life.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
That no one won't I can.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
I feel like we need to play that one just
one more yea, one more time.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
In order to live a life most people don't, you
must be willing to do what most people won't.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
Hey, you know what that applies the sports? Yeah, put
in that extra hustle it is. It's that extra level
of commitment when other people want to be lazy, you
ain't got time for that. That's how you get next
level in life and in the game. So while we
get the phone calls going, your chance to win the
Swiggy with the Swaggy eight seven, seven ninety nine out Fox,
that Midnight Black limited Edition Swiggy is now. But while

(38:25):
we get the phone calls going, I want to talk
about your boy. This guy was crand opening Grand closing
Dickie Love. Lady's already gone. He's already been DF eight.
I know he got a lot of press though with
that name change. Again, his name is Richard Lovelace. Rich
just ordered the jersey yesterday, I know, and he made
this big announcement that he was going by Dickey now

(38:46):
I know, talking about it with the Lindor jersey. So
it got us thinking, rich while we take these phone
calls and we get ready to repeat Mike's Wednesday words
of Wisdom some other classic goofy names in sports. Because
again this is sophomore. We had a heavy first hour.
Let's have a fun for second. When you were a
kid and you collected baseball cards way back on a Wednesday,

(39:06):
you know, you collected those goofy ass cards from players
and athletes and managers with goofy names.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
Of course that was part.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
Of collecting cards, but when you were trying to find
the star players, but then you were also trying to
find error cards. And players are goofy names, right, So
what are the ones that come to mind? Like, I'll
get obvious ones out of the way. There is no
better name in sports than Jimmy Johnson and Magic Johnson. Okay,
those are two great names when you really think about it.

(39:36):
So what are the other ones? What are those baseball
cards you had? One of my favorites I still reference
till this day. Can I guess because I feel like
you referenced it so much and I don't know the guy.

Speaker 3 (39:44):
I say his.

Speaker 2 (39:45):
Name wrong, but that's how I said it as a kid,
and I stick with it.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Kavino will always reference if I'm right here, just knows
I could read your dumb mind. You always reference a
guy names like don ASSEI yes, oh my.

Speaker 10 (39:58):
God, man, this guy's This guy's don Ass because in
my sophomoric, little kid mind, I had a don Ass
card and that cracked me up and I kept it
in a special page or plastic because it was hilarious
to me.

Speaker 2 (40:14):
But it's don Assy.

Speaker 3 (40:16):
I thought I thought you were going rusty nuts because
with the K, it's silent K.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
Because Rusty Koontz. I think it's coons.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Really, me and my older brother thought the K was silent,
So either way, be careful. Please, however you say it,
be careful. Please.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Yes, dude, I had a card. No one's gonna appreciate
this unless you had the same card. But it's a
famous baseball story right from the Cubs back in the day,
and it's from a card called Baseball Scoops that I had.
I found it like in a cigar box in my
grandma's basement, and the headline on the card baseball scoops. Yes,

(40:53):
the headline on the card was this guy. It says
Merkle pulls Boner and it was known as the play
where he fails to touch second base in a key game.
So the play goes down in history as Merkele pulls
Boner like he pulled a Boner move where he missed
the bass.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
But that was more slangy. Well, yeah, there was a
character on one of our favorite TV shows told Boner
as a twelve year old kid who found this card.
I thought it was the greatest thing that ever was.

Speaker 3 (41:24):
Mercle pulls them.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So it's not his name, but I have to throw
it out there as reference to these funny moments and
things we collected.

Speaker 7 (41:30):
What's up, Dan, I'm just literally gonna just take it
off the board so nobody calls in and says it
because we all are thinking it from my home state
of Wisconsin, made popular on SportsCenter Dick Trickle, So Dick, yes,
he's was the legend, but uh from America's David Land.

Speaker 3 (41:49):
I love it. Dad is good. I thought dB was
gonna go. Pete Leacock that he go by Peter. No,
he should. My god, there's so many good ones.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
I want to give you one that Big Mike as
we get winners for his words of wisdom. Big Mike said,
we're going to talk about this, you have to bring
up long Gar long Gar apparently he was a college
basketball player. And I'm like, if you gonna bring up
a college player.

Speaker 2 (42:18):
What about bowl ball?

Speaker 3 (42:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (42:21):
I mean again, name that stands out and not everyone
has to be about someone's junk, like Jansen junk. Chance,
these are going to be about no, no, no, switch it
up right now? You know he did the bowl bull one.
Jansen junk is a great one. But how about like
Grant ball four?

Speaker 3 (42:40):
Right?

Speaker 1 (42:41):
Balfour? But I mean, you're a pitcher and your last
name is ball four. I always thought that was interesting.
You remember the picture for the A's I Grant Balfour.
Don't remember this guy that someone hit us up with
at Covine on Rich a Cardinals pitcher.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
His name is Boots Day.

Speaker 3 (42:55):
That's a good one.

Speaker 1 (42:56):
It's a great name, but not as good as Dick
Pole from and Seattle.

Speaker 3 (43:01):
He was a pitcher. Look him up. I had his
card Dick Pole p Ohl, right.

Speaker 2 (43:07):
Is it p Ohl See, I just wrote it down,
but I remember he was a pitcher.

Speaker 3 (43:10):
Let me look it up.

Speaker 2 (43:12):
There's a soccer player, Cavino. You're gonna love this guy.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
He played back in the eighties, fabian as Man.

Speaker 7 (43:20):
No, half of these names won't work on work computers, by.

Speaker 1 (43:24):
The way, So no, by the way, Dick Pole was
p ol e oh wasn't. Yeah, and he was a
cub or. He was a coach on the Cubs, I believe.
But he was a Boston and Seattle pitcher for a minute.
But I had his cards like in the late seventies
for sure. And I'm telling you, as a kid, these
were major collectibles, and some just stood out to me

(43:44):
like if I.

Speaker 3 (43:46):
Was hungry back in the late.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
Eighties early nineties, I'm like, yo, man, I want to
grub like Johnny Grub. Johnny Grubb was a player for Detroit,
Johnny Grub. So I remember that's one I used to
use a lot. And man, some of these are so bad.
I want to leave some for you guys, but I
also want to give away this prize. So Danny g
do we have Yeah, we got the five five contestants

(44:10):
lined up.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Some players by the way.

Speaker 1 (44:11):
Their name is totally normal, but it sounds like it
could be a euphemism in the two In the two thousands,
Cavino once told me he went out with some girl
and he was hoping for an oral Hersheizer and I'm like,
you're using his I did not, I said bj Serhoff,
you buy okay?

Speaker 3 (44:27):
Sorry?

Speaker 2 (44:27):

Speaker 4 (46:40):
In order to live a life that most people don't.

Speaker 2 (46:46):
It does store It does start with in order to

all right.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Verbade him and Matt five people, Matt, Matt and Louisiana.
You are America's last hope. I think I got it.

Speaker 6 (46:59):
But but real quick, on sports nicknames, there was a
real baseball player named Johnny Dick show Ye nickname was
His nickname was ugly. Y was ugly.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
He played in the thirties.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
I know of him these Yeah, he played in Pittsburgh,
he played in New York and Chicago. I'm very well
aware of him. Because again, how could you not laugh
at that?

Speaker 6 (47:21):
More?

Speaker 2 (47:22):
How did more people not have that jersey?

Speaker 3 (47:25):
Because it's yeah saying yeah, I think fans had jerseys
back then. All Right, Matt, Louisiana, you think you got this? Yeah,
take your time, all right.

Speaker 6 (47:37):
In order to live a life most people don't, you
must be willing to do what most people won't.

Speaker 3 (47:44):
Yeah, like big copies, Matt, great job, we are going
to send one of the last seeing our swiggies out.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
He there in Louisiana, and he threw in that other player.

Speaker 3 (47:58):
So yeah, and I.

Speaker 2 (48:00):
Had written down, but I didn't think we could say it.
Give him some coozies, man, it's the guy's name. That's
the that's the beauty of this. It's the guys name.
I know, it really is. Hey, thank you so much man.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
You get the koozies and the Swiggy and we have
like five or six left. So that means if we
get approved budget wise, maybe some CNR nerve football's coming
soon for the football season. Let me ask you this,
thank you man. Did anyone else say no way? In
the last you know, decade of so Own baseball, there's
been a Coco Crisp and a Milton Bradley. The thing is, though, yeah,

(48:32):
those are classics, right, I mean, they're not dirty, but
his Coco's not.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
His first name was like Covelly or something like that.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
But they went with Coke. They went with Coco Crisp.
But Milton Bradley was a good one. These are all
goofy ones that stood out and and Danny g agreed,
you had like a page right of their cards.

Speaker 3 (48:47):
I did, yeah, because it was funny. Yeah, it was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (48:50):
And I think it does think that the Mets, who
need they need their twenty twenty five grimace essentially right,
they need a huk to a Girl of the Year.

Speaker 2 (48:59):
The Mets need something, and I thought it might be Dicky.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
What is it, love child lady, and he's already gone
the grand opening, Grand closing. You pitch one game out
of the bullpen, stunk it up a little bit, and
then he's been DFA. So these were real names. These
weren't even really nicknames we were discussing here on the show.

Speaker 7 (49:15):
Ryan suck Up had a career in the NFL as
a kicker.

Speaker 2 (49:19):
Remember the suck up was called Rich when he's hanging
out with the bosses, Dicky suck Up, Ryan suck Up.

Speaker 3 (49:25):
Look at this guy. There was a football player named
Kyle Sackrider for Michigan State.

Speaker 2 (49:34):
That's a jersey right there. You showed us had a
key and peel bit Danny g Again, no doubt Jake,
but was popular.

Speaker 3 (49:46):
Shake. But now he's in the media world.

Speaker 1 (49:49):
I love it. I love it all right. So hey,
thank you guys for having fun with us. We needed
that after the first hour. So thank you guys so much.
That was a lot of fun. And you know what
you could add him? How about you Adam at Covino
and Rich at Fox Sports Radio on our social media pages.

(50:09):
You know, the Jake Paul Chovis Junior fights this week.
You're gonna watch it. You want to come buy her?

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Come, I will my mother in love in town. I
have all the freedom, Sam. You want to come by
and watch the fight? Have a dance off, Danny G.
What are you up to? Dany G's like, I got diapers, man,
I'll bring coha so you could change diapers.

Speaker 3 (50:26):
By the way, Danny G.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
The funniest thing, I'm sorry to go on a tangent
like Rich Davis out of nowhere.

Speaker 2 (50:31):
That's okay, it's called h it's called Rich Davis Radio.

Speaker 1 (50:35):
But you know, one of our clips was posted yesterday
on social media, right, and it got a lot of hits.
We were talking about Aaron Rodgers and oh, whoop do
he do? He's playing one year? Would you expect five years?
And all of a sudden, Danny G's voice chimes in
on the clip. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, you got no jews
left or whatever? He said, right, And I was reading

(50:55):
the comments in One of the comments was when did
Barry White join the ship? And then when you listen
to it, it's so funny because it's me and Rich
We're like blah blah blah blah and all of a sudden,
You're like, yeah, Rudgers ain't got no booziness doing. And
then when I saw that, dude, I almost spit my
coffee out.

Speaker 2 (51:14):
When did Barry White join the show?

Speaker 3 (51:16):
First of all, I don't sound anything like that so funny, dude.

Speaker 1 (51:18):
Thanks for all your feedback everybody. You guys make us
crack up and appreciate your support. Everything's at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Do you anticipate Jake Paul
says our Chavis Junior to be fun or dude? You know,
it's just here's the thing. Not to give you a
boring answer, but it's the truth. It depends if Chaves

(51:38):
Junior isn't being paid off, and it depends if Chavis
Junior is taking this serious, because if he is, he's
a former world renowned champion. Like, he's a tough kid,
so he comes in shape. Jake Paul's fighting a real champion.
I mean, does he want to further embarrass his dad
or does he want to win? Say a good point, Hey,
so something something to watch this weekend? It depends on

(52:01):
sha we get to midweek Major Danny g who do
we got a couple of calls?

Speaker 3 (52:04):
Yeah, two quick ones here, Chris and Washington State on
the names.

Speaker 2 (52:07):
Yeah, what's up Chris?

Speaker 8 (52:08):
Yeah, he's up, guys, Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 3 (52:11):
No, no problem.

Speaker 2 (52:11):
What's up man?

Speaker 3 (52:12):
What comes to mine?

Speaker 1 (52:12):
As far as funny sports names, that's obvious. But how
is it not brought up when I was a kid,
that was the best name ever to me. Yeah, and
you know it's all based on how Dicky love Lady
joined the Mets has already been Yeah.

Speaker 2 (52:31):
That's another name I call Rich when he's hanging out
with the bosses.

Speaker 3 (52:35):
Well, and then I thought about it earlier this morning
as a topic because this baseball player came across my
feed and his name is Jansen Junk. That's great. What
a bad name for a picture chunk throwing a bunch
of junk really quick? Before midweek Major James and Miami
wanted to talk about the tight ends topic.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
Yeah, we were saying tight ends might be the coolest
position in sports based on you know, they got a
vibe right now, right, it's pretty cool to be a
tight end.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
What's up man?

Speaker 1 (53:02):
Well?

Speaker 9 (53:02):
Yeah, well, what I wanted to touch on was not
necessarily tight ends, but as far as players being able
to show their personality. Like you said, closers and whatnot.
The one thing that down here, the two time defending
Stanley Cup champions. What about a hockey goal mask?

Speaker 4 (53:19):
Yeah, guard personality.

Speaker 1 (53:21):
The mask is definitely a way to show some pizzazz
I guess you'd say, but yeah, no goalkeepers, goaltenders. That's
that's definitely one. But I thought about a hockey goon.
He's got to be a hype man of sorts. Now
he's got you got a vibe, guys like got a
tough guy, sort of like crazy guy vibe to him.

Speaker 3 (53:37):
It's like in the football mandatory camps right now, some
of the players with the visors who are going after
the qbs like Burns on the Giants has spidy. That's cool,
It's very cool.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
But you're you're right, though, there's a very specific person
personality type in the world of tight ends and kittles,
like that quintessential stereotypical dude.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
He is that guy, all right.

Speaker 1 (53:59):
So now we do this every Wednesday, the biggest stories
in the world of sports and pop culture.

Speaker 3 (54:04):
We call it mid Week Major. Coveno and Rich get
you over the middle of the week when mid Week
Major Major.

Speaker 2 (54:14):
I love that we throw.

Speaker 5 (54:15):
Sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the Fellas,
and it's like the kids.

Speaker 6 (54:20):
Say, that's summit.

Speaker 4 (54:22):
We definitely padre see it.

Speaker 3 (54:24):
Our score mid week major, I got it. Get Spotty
eight full minutes?

Speaker 2 (54:30):
Heah, what am I gonna do with all that time?

Speaker 3 (54:32):
And before we start anything, we got to give spot
a round of applause for that great planning for CRC
twenty man. Great job, thank you, but do that on
your own time, all right. Before before we hand things
over to the number one and only host to the segment,
let's roll the two big red love Dice in Covino
Dicky Dicky Love Dice six, who was hot in Vegas

(54:55):
at the tables, ah Man Carino Studio. I won, his
luck ran out all right, So Covino's gonna go first
first And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person
besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey, Spotty boy.

Speaker 5 (55:10):
Let's do this. You know the expression in racing to
win by a nose. Well, a US sprinter Chris Robinson
won by another appendage. So during the Ostrava Golden SPIKEE
meek and check Republic on Tuesday, Robinson suffered a bit
of a wardrobe malfunction on live TV where as he
was running, his junk slipped out of his shorts is
very loose and very short running shorts. The incident happened

(55:33):
while he was approaching the finish line. It appears like
he's trying to tuck it back in and finally he
just gives out sprints to the finish line where he
actually ends up did winning the race in forty eight
point zero five seconds, which, by the way, is longer
than anytime you guys have had with your junk cap.

Speaker 3 (55:48):
So is this midweek or major?

Speaker 2 (55:50):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (55:51):
This is major news speaking of chance and junk. This
guy did he really win by his junk? I mean no,
but he's okay. His chunk was flopping around as he
was approaching on the cold.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
Metal by a helmet.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
But I remember the French poll vaulter at the last No,
this was actually like out.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
This was fully out book.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
Okay, now based this this is this is important information
for my answer? Was it like an impressive story?

Speaker 3 (56:19):
No?

Speaker 1 (56:19):
I'm serious, because then it's like major because good for
him he.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
Won and he won that's rather impressive. Oh well, see
what I mean? All right?

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Major stories. I'm sticking to it because I don't know.
It's a goofy story. It's gonna be major headlines, and
it could have been extremely embarrassing the other way.

Speaker 3 (56:34):
Let's just say he put on a shower.

Speaker 2 (56:35):
Yeah, that's what I mean.

Speaker 3 (56:36):
You see what I mean.

Speaker 1 (56:37):
Like, my point is this, it could have been a
lot worse and more embarrassing had it been like that.
I think it's major because it's funny and it's a
funny headline when he got a lot of serious things
in the news.

Speaker 2 (56:47):
We need goofy things like that once in a while.

Speaker 1 (56:49):
Yeah, listen, like you said, I I agree with you
that it's major because he wasn't pulling a George Costanza.

Speaker 2 (56:57):
It was cold.

Speaker 3 (56:59):
I was in the pool.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
By the way, This didn't this happened to your dad
during a jump ropothon.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
No, his pants, pants fell down. Its purple underwear.

Speaker 1 (57:07):
But I will say spot much like that pull Vaulter
that I was saying, brought up. Sometimes it's something embarrassing
like that could give you props in a weird social
media world we live in now.

Speaker 2 (57:18):
So you know, good for this guy. Congratulations major.

Speaker 5 (57:21):
All right, I guess it's going to be a very
sexual Midweek major, So George Kittle singing praises for any
new workout tool, especially for one of the side effects.
So Kittle appeared on Busting with the Boys, one of
our be careful here spot. We're for this story. Were
already talked about the new Vasper system. So it's a
stationary bike that apparently restricts blood flow to the biceps

(57:42):
in the quads, has ice water pads. It tricks the
body into thinking you're having an intense workout, but also
boost your recovery.

Speaker 3 (57:49):
Well.

Speaker 5 (57:50):
Kittle revealed that when they sold it to players, they
sold it as a boost testosterone. It improves sleep, makes
you feel better, and apparently you have a.

Speaker 3 (58:00):
A larger than usual sexual release.

Speaker 5 (58:02):
So and while he was a little bit skeptical at first,
Kittle did confirm in fact that these selling points are
all true. So if you're looking to improve your performance
on and off the field, might want to give this
a try.

Speaker 1 (58:13):
Midweek or major anything men's health related and endors True
a guy that everybody knows and respects.

Speaker 2 (58:21):
We just talked about how great he is for the NFL.

Speaker 1 (58:23):
I think it's a major story if it's if it's legit, Yeah,
I think that is major.

Speaker 2 (58:28):
I do so quote Frank Thomas and the women like
it too.

Speaker 1 (58:32):
Hey listen, Major, I love George Kittle, and it seems
like he's a guy you want behind your product.

Speaker 5 (58:38):
The vastper system it's supposed to it's like a stationary bike,
but it's good for cardio, right right. I think it
like the way it does blood flow. It tricks your body,
it's interesting, it's good for recovering all that, all right.
New season of Quarterback on Netflix drops July eighth, but
we got a sneak peak this week as Netflix released
a new trailer for the upcoming series. This season will

(58:59):
follow Bengals QB, Joe Burrow, Lines KB, Jared Goff, and
Kirk Cousins about real former Effectings Falcot QB, all three
very different seasons from last year. Treller also shows that
we'll get a look into Burrow's home burglary that happened
in December where Burrow was robbed of over three hundred
K and personal stuff if you want to take a
glimpse of it. Across all social media right now, midweek.

Speaker 1 (59:22):
Er Major Anything NFL related especially now is major.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
Major.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
You got the WNBA, you got baseball. There's people so
pumped about the NFL, and I think these are three
interesting quarterbacks that we're going to focus on for sure.
And if you get some insight on that that theft moment,
I think that's really interesting because we didn't know what
was going on. We're like, who's there? Remember who was there?
Why were they house sitting that model?

Speaker 3 (59:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (59:49):
I think this is major.

Speaker 1 (59:50):
And I'll tell you what, since this story broke about
the home invasion, he has now been seen with this
house sitting model right there together.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
So you'll get to.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
See Joe Burrow attempting to make it seem like it's nothing.
And I heard you get to see Kirk Cousins find
out when Michael Pennix Junior was drafted or got the
starting job. I think they go back a bit where
you get to see his reaction like wait what Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:00:14):
So he gets pretty real And I love quarterback.

Speaker 1 (01:00:17):
I thought Receiver on Netflix was great, So I think
these are all fantastic. Yeah, I agree with Rich and
anything NFL related major.

Speaker 3 (01:00:25):
All right.

Speaker 5 (01:00:27):
ESPN has tapped their host for this year's sp Awards,
and that is comedian, actor and writer Shane Gillis. All
fans In a statement announced Tuesday, ESPN announced that Gillis
wolves take the stage at the Dolby Theater in LA
to celebrate the achievements, athletes and moments in sports from
the last year. Gillis, of course, in the middle of
a forty city international tour as well as starring in

(01:00:48):
his Netflix series Tires. He says he's excited because he's
a huge fan of sports. Speeds will take place July
sixteenth at eight pm, airing on ABC and ESPN plus
Midwicer major.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Major because award shows have sort of run their course,
lost their luster a little bit sort of mooring, and
we saw what Conan did for the Oscars, right, I
thought Conan O'Brien at the Oscar is fantastic. If Shane Gillis,
who we know is a sports fan, knows what he's
talking about, a lot of his comedy revolves around sports.

Speaker 3 (01:01:19):
And I know he's very popular. Rich likes him a
lot more than I do.

Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
But if he could do what Conan did for the
Oscars and bring some fun back to that, I think
it's made. I'll tell you this is super major, definitely major,
definitely major.

Speaker 2 (01:01:29):
I mean, there's not many comics hotter because, first of all,
Tire Season two is better than the first season. It's
it's really a fun.

Speaker 3 (01:01:35):
Watch, IRAQ.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
He's also very close to certain athletes. He was at
McCaffrey's wedding. Remember we were all like, why Shane gillis
with all the athletes at mccaffery's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:46):
Yeah, he was in a Super Bowl ad.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
And what's interesting not the trash talk about ESPN, but
they're very woke and safe and very very very liberal,
and Shane Gillis, if you watch this stuff on podcast
and everything, he sort of leans the other way. So
it's a sort of a cool it's sort of a cool,
risky contrasting move for ESPN to go with Shane Gillis
because he is not really what they represent cool.

Speaker 2 (01:02:09):
So I think it's a cool move by ESPN to
take Bolt.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
I agree. Yeah, thank you, thanks guys.

Speaker 2 (01:02:14):
Thank you time.

Speaker 1 (01:02:17):
Are you ready for the NBA Draft, Buddy, I was
gonna say, I thought you were ready to watch the
Yankees lose to the Reds and Island. Yeah, that's really it.
I'll watch some of the draft for sure. You got
the first round tonight, second round tomorrow. Cooper Flag, here's
the big question. That's that's the big story. I mean,
it's obvious, but on a very own network, our pal

(01:02:38):
Dan Patrick was sort of posing the question, when you
think about how the super Max contracts work in the
NBA Cooper flag.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
Is what eighteen years old? My goodness, think.

Speaker 1 (01:02:49):
About think about like eighteen, six foot nine, beast out
of duke six foot nine, Yeah, eighteen.

Speaker 2 (01:02:55):
What year was he born?

Speaker 3 (01:02:57):
Two thousand and six?

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
That sounds ridiculous, It is not absurd.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
My first year of college. Yeah, I was Sam.

Speaker 2 (01:03:06):
He's your love child, right, I was Sam, could be
his dad, all right?

Speaker 3 (01:03:09):
Put this in perspective. That was my first year here
at the network.

Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
I became a dad in two thousand and nine, and
he's just three years older than my daughter, Melody.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
He would date your daughter and it wouldn't be inappropriate.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
It wouldn't be I mean, I'd be grossed out and
I don't want to punch him in the nose. But yeah, yeah,
that's that's how crazy it is. And I'm maybe you'd
be okay with giving perspective. Maybe you'd be okay with
him dating your daughter if you speculate what Dan Patrick said,
which is he based on how the contracts work in
the NBA, he may be the first billion dollar player
in sports, because you know, the NBA players are only

(01:03:42):
you know, the highest paid. Like, think about what an
NFL quarterback makes the high fit NFL quarterbacks still aren't
close to NBA players.

Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Are you saying?

Speaker 2 (01:03:53):
Billions in billions?

Speaker 3 (01:03:55):
B B with a B billion? Wait with a bhundred billion.

Speaker 2 (01:04:00):
Dollars, he's gonna get a billion? Think about it? Shotani?

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
Well, Otani and jan Soto just signed absurd contracts and
what with us for six hundred and seven hundred million
billions and billions? But you know when you do the math,
because you got to think of when contracts will expire,
when new ones will be up like again sort of
by default, and he happens to be the superstar in line.

(01:04:29):
They're saying, Cooper Flag, if all goes well, could have
a financial path forward that would total.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
Close to a billion dollars by the time.

Speaker 9 (01:04:40):
He's thirty hundred billion dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
So let me ask you, then, are you gonna have
one TV on the draft just to see how it goes,
see if there's any fun stories to talk about tomorrow
and watch Love Island, or you're gonna watch one or
the other. How's this gonna work? Because everyone's talking about
Love Island.

Speaker 2 (01:04:58):
I'll probably watch Love Island. We'll go coffee with our buddy.
That's probably what we'll do, and I'll just watch the
expected you know, like it's like there's no secret.

Speaker 1 (01:05:08):
I think it's a matter of you know, who's going
to go second, third, fourth. There's a couple of question
marks there, but hey man, Dallas, what a wild year
for them. They get rid of Luca. You think that
it's all over. They have good veterans and now you're
going to get this young kids.

Speaker 3 (01:05:23):
Saves Nico's job. But I guess.

Speaker 1 (01:05:27):
I would imagine it wasn't Jeopardy. I would imagine that,
and I think it is saved luckily based on this. Again,
it starts in just over an hour on ABC and ESPN,
So watch it. That's the homework assignment. Just watched it
a little bit so we could discuss it tomorrow. Danny
g as the resident NBA fan, is this something you're

(01:05:49):
glued into just to see what your team does.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Yeah, I'll definitely watch the first round. A lot of
speculation on whether or not the Spurs will take Dylan
Harper with the second pick. He's that point guard Rutgers.

Speaker 1 (01:06:00):
All right, guys, so enjoy that, enjoy some. I always
want to say, love is blind, Love Island, which is
the trashiest, most ridiculous show. Keep that show away from
your kids, is really what I'm getting out of it.
Enjoy your Wednesday night, get your hump on, turn your
hump day into a hump night. And again, anything you
miss on our show you can always catch on the
Fox Sports Radio YouTube page. Any other final thoughts before

(01:06:23):
you get out of here. All the videos and pictures
from this past weekend in Vegas, we're gonna be posting
those at coviing on rich as well, so if you
joined us, you could find some of that stuff, and hey, enjoy.
Hopefully the Mets could start winning tonight, don't count on that.
And of course old school. When fifty hits tomorrow, Tomorrow's
Thursday already, and Thursday's the new Friday, so the weekend begins.

(01:06:46):
Start it with us on your way home, and if
you're busy catching on the podcast. But every Thursday we
throw it back and we reminisce a little bit. We
go old school when fifty hits on the clock, When
fifty hits in life, and when fifty hits on the clock,
you get a little old cool and we include everybody.
So tomorrow we'll have some fun reminiscing with you. We
do it every Thursday, Thanks Cooper fleg on the TV.
