Speaker 3 (00:12):
MLB All Star Village Capital One in Atlanta, where the
players play.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
For the next three days today, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The
Dan Patrick Hatricks so happy to be out here representing
Fox Sports Radio. Thank you for all your All Star votes.
Fox Sports Radio Nation, where the league leaders in votes.
Covino and Rich, if you're the Boston Red SOPs right now,
(00:40):
are the only team it's.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Like not excited to take a little break, because All
Star break is a good time for you know, everyone
on every team to just take a little breather reset
for the second half. But when you're winning ten in
a row, you're over five hundred by eight games. Now
you're on the tail of the Yankees and the Blue
Jays like now's the time.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, they don't want to stop right now.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
In fact, Jaron Durant of the Red Sox said something
interesting about if they won, so maybe if we have time,
we'll get to it, because we still got to talk
about DeShawn Watson and we got to wrap up this
story about things that make you feel old. Because there's
so many famous names in the MLB draft. And by
the way, I have a retraction. I have a Shepherd Smith.
(01:25):
I made a mistake. I'm not sure what happened. There
won't happen again. I kept saying Jackson Holiday. It's Ethan Holiday.
So you know what, because Jackson's been in the league
for years, And I kept You've seen the clip of
Ethan crying in the past twenty four hours. Ethan Holiday.
But I kept saying Jackson because it's Jackson's brother. Yeah,
but in my mind, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Like, well, Jackson Holiday. But you know can if he
writes something down, I just wrote it down.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
He's rond So Ethan Holiday, cam Lighter Cayden can't. Brady Counsel,
Max Maguire's all these famous sceness. It was either famous
dad or relative in the league. You start seeing it
and you're like, man, I saw their dad. I had
their dad's rookie. I watched him play.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
His career is over. Now his sons in the league.
There's one thing.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
When your heroes retired, right now their kids are playing.
So we're talking about things that make you feel old.
We're not trying to make you feel old. We're trying
to make you feel young, but it is relatable. We
all have those feelings.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The list of baseball players in this draft, in particular,
like you said that, there's some relation to another form
of really more famous names than ever. No, without a doubt.
I even just saw another one that makes me feel
a little old. Quentin Young just got drafted in the
first round. Dimitri and Delman are his two uncles.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, so it's like, again, it's a nature nurture question,
but it is wild to see.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Now, you know what makes me feel old?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Before we wrap up with the phone calls eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, you can hit us up
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Hashtag riches old.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's not the hashtag, you know, it's the Love Island
buzz of twenty twenty five. It's the rage of twenty
twenty five. Now, I'm all for young people having fun.
I'm all for us having fun here in Atlanta, but
when I see them all making out with each other,
there's a part of me it's like that's wrong.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Especially when one of the dudes had a herpie on
his lips, Like all.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Right, We've seen dating shows before and everyone sort of
hooks up, but rich this show is like in consecutive order,
like I'm making it out with this person, then that person,
then that all. Like I'm like, they saw that they
use banaka? Do they freshen up? Do they use mount
Listerine in between kisses? Ere one is going on and
they they did have a herb or what appeared to
(03:46):
be a herpie breakout because it's like everyone is making up.
That makes me feel old when I see that, because
I'm like, I don't know if I would do that.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
We watched the Real World, remember and more. That looks
so now compared to.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That, I mean, please.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And of course they're language like, and I try to
stay up on lingo. I'm a big fan of lingo,
but crash out and shopped, Like do you even know
what chopped means? Because they have their own language dueniels.
If someone's chopped, that means they're.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Just not good looking. So yo, he's chopped, she's chopped,
you know.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I like how you're standing on business.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yes, and I'm business? What up? Twin?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Like instead of bro, it's if you're my like my daughter,
she's a teenager, right, if to put a guy in
a friend zone, she'd be like, what up twin, meaning
like you're like a bro to me, you're twin?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Or gang? Hey, what up gang? It means like you're
just one of my gang. You're just you're just a friend.
What up gang? Back to the Love Island thing, I
couldn't resist.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I had to start watching with the Wife a little
bit because all you idiots are talking about it, even
on like episode one and two when they first partner up,
and they're.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like, all right, you get to make out with two
people to see who you click with. What if you
don't want this? This one girl went up to a dude,
was like a lock.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Slobbering, and then she goes okay, goes up to another dude.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It was like a lot, and I'm like, dude's and
the second guy. It not sound gross, but I was like, babe,
if you're that second guy.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She was just all over that first guy with nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I would be like, no, thanks, I'm good for a chat.
I don't want sloppy fifths.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, good on.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I have a couple other things that make us feel
old and io was sam is on the phones.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
If you want to chime in, Covino and Rich and
for Dan Patrick when they asked college athletes.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
They did this on TikTok and Instagram a lot like
yo yo yo, as they're walking in and out of
the locker room, Like what year does someone have to
be born for you to consider them old? And all
these kids now are like when they were born in
the nineteen hundreds, And I'm like, they think if you
were born in the nineteen hundreds, that means your oldest.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
They thought you you got around on horse and buggy
were things in black and white in the nineties.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's the videos of when they hand kids a cassette
tape and say it show us how this works.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Oh yeah, they don't know how, or a rotary phone
or something they have no clue, or they don't even
know what a phone booth is.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I saw a clip the other day that really made
me go for real. I get it because it's a
ninety song. But there's a dude on TikTok or Instagram
that goes around and he'll say the first lyric of
a song and he asked like the young people would
have at his office to finish the lyric, and he
was over his whole office.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'll do it for you, guys.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Whole office, the whole the whole office was like, didn't know.
And the guy's like, all right, come on, I'm gonna
go around to all the twenty somethings up my office.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ready. Peaches come from a can. They were put there
by a man in a factory.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Down Damn when I tell you not what he's like.
Peaches come from a canon.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
They're like like and they taste it and they're on sale.
I'll give you one more quick one and then we'll
go to your feedback. What makes you feel old?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I got one. I have a personal story my wife
and was it looking in the mirror my wife and I.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
My wife and I were in combo when I feel
like I look good for my age and my wife
certainly my wife certainly does as well. We were at
a nice hotel and some college kid on spring break
was drunk and he tried to sneak into our hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He was in the lobby and he was like, I'm
trying to look like a towel and water and he's like,
I'm gonna get kicked out of here, and he goes,
yo yo, if they try.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
To kick me out. I'll just tell them that you
guys are my parents. And I was like, oh, I
was like your parent, get out of it. I was like, wow,
I want to kick him in the ass to be
your dad. I guess. So you sure do, mister.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
When someone calls you mister or sir for the first time,
you're like, huh. When you realize that kids today they
have different they have different labels for the genres you
grew up with. For example, they call nineties rock, which
we call like grunge rock right or alt rock at
the time they call that classic rock. Now, So when
(08:08):
classic rock is now considered like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alison Chains,
you're like, wait, that's classic rock to you, get out
of my face. Classic rock is the Doors and Hendricks
and it's not Nirvana.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So you thought it was.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
This is just like oldies radio station oldies when when
we're kids, oldies was Elvis.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oldies was like Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Now now the Sugarhill Gang Rappers Delight is on an oldies.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
When you realize your music is now considered the classic
or the oldies, you're like, what in the hell, Well
as the meme goes we all think nineteen seventies or
thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, and it's actually the nineties. And for the record,
we're not the show.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
You know, what makes me angry, what boils boils my goat,
what boils my blood, gets my goat?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You know what boils my goat? Rich?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
But when some when young, like they're in their twenties
or younger twenties, thirties or are talking about how they
feel old, I'm like, get out of my face with that,
because I'm in no rush to feel old.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Ever.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I want to make that clear. We've got plenty of
life to feel old. No, I'm not trying to do that.
You know Mike who runs his place? Who Yeah, Mike, Yeah, Mike,
Mike fought sports.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, he said. You know what makes Mike who runs
his place, feel old? When he's Abe Lincoln in his
yearbook photos when he went high school with Woodrow Wilson,
when he said, when he.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Goes when I'm awak, you know, let's gotta let's go
to Keith in Arizona in for DP Cave, you know,
Rich having fun with you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's up, Keith?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I got Now you're talking about feeling old?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I grew up watching the Big.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Red Machine, King Griffeet.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Okay, all King Griffy Jr's career and here at Tucson,
King Griffy Junior's son played football at the University of Arizona.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
By the way, I saw a great clip the other day, Ke,
if you're a Griffy fan. Barry Bonds who, by the way,
another topic we could maybe get to later, how baseball.
Stead of embracing Barry Bonds again, Barry Bond said that
if he had not got injured, by far, he thinks
Ken Griffy Junior is the only player he thinks was
better than him. He said, King Griffey Junior was the
(10:20):
best player to ever play Major League baseball, and if
he had not got injured like number.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
One, He's not really going out on a limb with
that one means.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I mean it's big of him because of who he
Barry Bonds always claims that, yeah, yeah, Crank was he
was incredibly great. So yeah, I could I could see that.
Let's go to Mark in Nebraska. What's up Mark?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Real quick? I go clear back to the dude Brodie.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
So I'm glad, glad to catch it because ever I'll
change jobs and illusion and then every two or three
years I'll have to catch up.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And he's like, wow, a lot of change.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
So yeah, what makes you feel old when you find
your favorite radio show every five years, every like over
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
When you hear me.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Talking, I'm like, yeah, my daughter's sixteen now, and he's like, wait.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You're not with Leila anymore?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Anyway? I don't know anyway.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
So when you get on social media and it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Goes like this weekend forty years ago, the Doonies came
out and you were like holding hands with your junior
high girlfriend with that stuffs rough, well, forget not even
the pop culture memories like on this day, and it's
like a sports or pop culture memory, even your own
Facebook memories.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
How about Facebook itself?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You go on Facebook, that makes you sound like an
old guy, because now kids are like Facebook's like their parents'
social media.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know, it makes me feel terribly old.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
And it ties into baseball when you see your team's
highlights from like the nineties and it looks like it's
from the eighteen nineties and you're like, oh my god,
where the graphics and the production package that week back then?
And of course the I guess the transfer to video
and our TVs today is different.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, but it looks so old and blurry and horrible.
I told you the funny story was.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You know, when we were kids, we thought, hey, Grandpa
and Grandpa, did you live in the black and white?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Because every picture of video of your grandparents was black
and white. Yeah, we lived in the blurry.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
My kids, I showed them because it's my Mets only
real highlight. Nineteen eighty six. I was a little boy.
My son's like, dad, did the Mets ever win the Championship?
I go, buddy, they won the World Series? When when
dad was your age, when I was so little boy,
He goes, can I see it? I pulled up a
video on YouTube and my five year old son goes, Dad,
was was everything blurry back then?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Was was? He asked? If life was blurry? Life was blurry?
I mean, that's eighty six.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
If you go to ninety six and you see the
Yankees beating the Braves, Sorry, Atlanta, it looks like the
oldest footage ever.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It makes you feel old. You're like, damn, I was
alive back then.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Well, if you noticed in the world of baseball, so
many of the kids being drafted are just you know,
even to former MLB legends and role players. So a
lot of nature nurture conversations baseball. But Danny, let's let's
direct our attention. You said, there's a major rumor going
on right now in the world of football regarding Nick Saban.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, this is catching fire all over social media right now,
all right. Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy said this morning
on wjo X ninety four or five that a very
much in the no person believes Nick Saban will return
to coaching. If it wasn't someone notable, I would never
say a word Mackrell. McElroy said on the air. So, yeah,
(13:34):
I mean we thought maybe Saban had one more team
in him, right, But I also thought with.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
The nature of NIL and the way college football went,
I'm not saying Nick Saban the great coach, but what
I'm saying is Alabama was sort of set up to be.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
A contender every year with Nick Saban.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But now at the NIL as you could tell any
college could spend money and be good. Now it's a
different ballgame. So I'm surprised. I thought Nick Saban was
gonna be like, yeah, I'll just chilling broadcast.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
If you really love coaching, though, can that even keep
you away?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Guess not. You know what I'm really curious about.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
We haven't talked about him in like a good month,
because we talked about.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Him every day for a while.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Bill Belichick, North Carolina Young Girlfriend Program over there, like
I've been.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Busy, right, what's gonna happen there?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So we'll keep you in the loop on that, Nick Saban,
Could there be a return to the coaching? That's interesting, man,
you know what this feels like though, Danny g and
I get it's a big name, but you don't want
the game to pass you by. And Rich made a
really great point about Nil changing everything up where maybe
he can't be as competitive as he used to be
because it's more of an equal playing field. It's like
(14:47):
when Tony LaRussa came back out and he was just
too old to be vibing with those young players and
grand opening, grand closing, and the game sort of passed
them by.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, And we talked about how knowing when to tap
out you always bring up to David letter Yeah. I
feel like Letterman was the master of being like, all right,
the world's going more social media. I'm not the late
night host. I'm not doing carpool karaoke, or I'm not
posting little clips like Fallin or Kimmel. So Letterman tapped
out at the right time and said, you know what
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna pivot to an interview Shaw
(15:16):
on Netflix. And he nailed it because no one ever said, hey,
let Himan needs to get out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And no one's telling Saban what to do.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Hey, if this is what brings him joy and he
wants to be very still and he looks at this
as a challenge and he could still deliver. That's again,
his legacy, that's his life. But he already made that pivot.
I feel he already made that pivot. Go ahead, give
me your stupid line pivot and uh, you know, we'll.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Keep you posted at Yeah seventy three.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
See that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
He's been out of coaching and recruiting now for two seasons.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, dude, I mean again, I never want to criticize
folks in their seventies. I'll tell you why, because my
dad's in his early set and I look at my
dad and some of his friends that have stayed relatively
young that's still golf and play tennis and do things
like seventy now.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And I'm not just saying that seventy now is not
with seventy one. No, it's like eight carol now.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yea. When my grandparents were seventy something, they looked like, well,
they had been through a war, but they looked old
as hell.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
My grandparents at seventy looked ninety. Yeah. No, for sure,
he's a different seventy three years.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Just so your parents, can you know, at our big
cavino rich party, your parents are approaching seventy No, yeah,
at seventy two.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Say we do not look like our grandparents even in there.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So your grandma was wearing a moon moon she was
like fifty. Yeah, I cred did anyone's grandmother unless they
were rich. My grandparents were not. My grandparents wore like
moo moos. And my grandmother didn't do makeup or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
She was she was an old ass lady.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
She had a beehive hairdo. She's like fifty years old
wearing a moo moom. She was still a young woman.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So hey, you know what again, there is.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
A there's a there's a great ill and knowing when
to say when. It's like going out on your own
terms and not looking back.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
There's there's something about that that's very special.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
It's like even Ozzy Osbourne he took his final bow
two weekends ago. He's seventy six years old, but he
did it on his own terms. He's like, you know what,
I'm getting sick, I got Parkinson's now I'm older.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
This is my last show. This is it. So you
have to know when to say when.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
And hey, maybe Nick Saban isn't there yet, but knowing
that that's to be decided, and knowing that, but.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Knowing you knowing this seemed like it was his time.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Knowing when you say when it is scary because then
all right, then what are you doing waiting to die?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So your new That was my point. He was doing
well broadcasting.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
He made a pivot that seemed to be it's like
when when the old guy gets the job at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It's like, you know, he moved on, he retired, but
he's still working go greet people, dude.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yeah, he was doing his version of that on a
higher and more successful level.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So he was working.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So here's your headline, Mike, who runs a place when
you put out the social media stuff. Covino says, Bill,
Bill Belichick and Nick Saban should both be greeters at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, that's it. That's what I said.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, thank you guys, and thank you Danny g for
the scoop and the gossip, because we're here at the
Convention Center at the Cobb Galleria for All Star Break
and yeah we miss a bulldog country.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
We're in college football country here.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
But speaking of football, Deshaun Watson, let's talk about him
real quick and then we'll get you involved. We'll set
it up and then take your phone calls. At eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, Covino and rich In for
Dan Patrick. Deshaun Watson got married, right, I.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Have to make Sandler references, you know, Dan Patrick, that's right.
The Sandman might be listening. Cindy and Scott are getting married.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
There's a picture of Brown's owner, Jimmy Haslam in attendance
at the wedding, and he's there and he looks very sincere,
like a proud father shaking the hand of Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Deshaun Watson looking all handsome.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
All white, nice as little white, little off white class.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He's rocking his white bow tie and Jimmy Haslam goes
up to him. He's shaking his hand.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
He embraids, and the story is that Haslam and Watson
share a special bond. He was in attendance for the wedding.
Probably give him a nice gift. By the way, do
you invite rich people just in hopes they give you
a good gift?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I heard these, I'm gonna invite all our bosses. This
is a wedding if I ever get married. The wedding hack,
apparently is send an invitation to.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Invite Colin Cowherd and Dan Patrick and the Sandman Sandler's invited.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I heard.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yes, there have been people that send out wedding invitations
to just random rich people because sometimes an assistant will
get the invite and be like and they I.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Just said them a couple hundred bucks. Like there have
been people that have schemed.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, Jimmy has them actually went through the wedding, which
is really nice. It goes to show you, dude, he's
an important business guy, right, But.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's also the guy that they gave one hundreds of
millions of dollars too.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So but you know, sometimes you keep that separated, but
he's there because he apparently genuinely cares about him.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So the story is that did he give that massage
tables to all his groomsmith?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
No, no, no, I mean he might have, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
And then the little gifts on each table though, Yeah,
you think there was like little bottles, mini bottles of
lotion with their Oh yeah, definitely their names on it
in the date.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yeah, absolutely, Jimmy has them. Also admitted recently we talked
about this. It was a viral story that he publicly
stated he made a mistake or something along those lines.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
He made a mistake on the contract.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
On the contract with Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's not necessarily a nice thing to say, but it's
also very true when they when they have this full
quarterback room of you know, every from everyone from Deshaun
Sam Sorry, Shadoor Sanders to.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
The other rookie to that Flacco is still there.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They have this big, five person deep quarterback room, and
I believe the owner used the phrase something like, well
we did swing and miss on. Yeah, Deshaun Watson, he
admitted he made a mistake but apparently still has a
good personal relationship.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Yeah, don't forget Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel Nicket.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yes he can. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So there's a ton of quarterbacks in that room. So
it poses like a bunch of questions. Question number one,
does anybody really still believe in Deshaun Watson? Because Haslam
might even though he thinks contractually he made a mistake,
he does have love for this guy. Does anyone believe
in the Shawn Watson? Fox Sports Radio Nation? Then the
two layer question, here's the other prong of the story.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
It's actually a three part doozy Rich. Okay, first, do
you believe in DeShawn? Does anyone still believe in the Shawn?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Anybody? What's more important? A personal or professional relationship?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Okay, think of that because professionally, I don't know where
they stand, but personally they're in good terms.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And can you still have a good personal.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Relationship if you have a bad professional relationship? That's why
people don't mix business with pleasure. Can you still have
a good personal relationship if you have a bad professional relationship?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Rich, this would be like in Coveno. I'm sure you
can speak to this. If the show got in trouble.
Let's say we were a bunch of slouches who all
slept in this morning and didn't get over here to
All Star Village and let all the sponsors and listeners down,
and we were no longer at Fox Sports Radio. Would
you guys still have a good personal relationship away from
(22:44):
the business with our bosses?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
It makes it a lot tougher, Which is why I
commend Jimmy for being at this wedding, because the show
and hasn't made anything easy for this guy and how
he looks as a decision maker and businessman. It's like spot,
I want to strangle this guy professionally. It does put
a little bit of stress on your personal relationship, but
I'm still able to be friends with the guy, right.
(23:06):
So it postes a lot of questions. Do you believe
in Deshaun Watson?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
He's gonna make sure he uses now all the cuts
on his video that you look the worst thing?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, exactly is our video guy?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
What's more important personal or professional relationships? And can you
still have a good personal relationship if you have a
bad professional one?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Let us know.
Speaker 4 (23:24):

Mark McGuire, No Max?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think you mean Mark? No Max? There? Get old. Yeah,
Max was drafted.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
But now we're talking to Shawn Watson NFL. Well, I'm
a bigger fan of Randall Watson. I mean he's the
most famous of all the Watsons. But based on his
relationship with Jimmy Haslam who at his wedding, Jimmy who
made a mistake or admitted he made a mistake in
that contract, professionally he still likes him.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Personally, neither they're hanging in And that's the thing. Professionally
and personally. You had you had a multi tier question,
which I loved.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Well, the first one was obvious. Does does anyone believe
in Deshaun Watson? I mean, I mean, I just feel like,
can your talent have dropped off that much that quick?
Does he put no work in? Because people fall off
cliffs man. You hear it all the time. One day
you got it, one year you got it, and then
you don't.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
At least on the field. In his defense, when he
came back from the injury, he looked decent and then
he got injured again. Yeah, and the reports have been
that he has looked good with his rehab. So there's
at least that, you.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Know, from a football standpoint, I don't want to root
against him, right, I'm always rooting for people to have
a great career.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's just his past makes it tough.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, I mean, listen massages and you know, not delivering
on the field. There's like a multitude of reasons why
people will hate on this guy personally and professionally. And
speaking of personally professionally, that's tier two of your question.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Can you separate those things? Yeah, what's more important? You're
a personal relationship or professional relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I've always struggled with this, and I'll tell you why,
because professionally what we do, I feel like our show
is better and I've always felt like we've had something
special with our show, and Danny when you joined our
show when we were moved to Fox, I feel like
if I get a closer relationship with the people I
work with, we're better because what you create more of
(27:38):
a bye.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
The boring answer is both matters. And you know what,
some people don't really understand that. Some people keep it
too professional and not enough personal. And that's why I
don't know. You're always a number. That's just the truth.
When it comes to budget cuts, You're always.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Just a number.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
But you have to be a little far ahead of
a little more ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
If you have a personal relationship as opposed to a
guy who doesn't know.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But I there's a there's a part of me that
just thinks I want to surround myself with people I enjoy, right,
And that's why I like Ioa Sam, Like, we work
with you every day, but io was Sam's been to
my house.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We've had drinks around my fire pit in.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
The yard, like I want because I feel like on
a team you guys, true, like at work and at home.
I feel like if I have a relationship with you,
we're gonna work together better. But then it also creates
awkward moments too though that give you butt heads with someone.
It's like, oh, man, like, all right, let's put let's
use iOS Sam as an example, right in Iowa. Sam,
(28:42):
this is only an example because fire him right now. No, no, no,
But we think he's great at what he does. But
it's not just the technical aspect of what he does,
pressing buttons in the studio and running the show. You know,
he brings a good vibe and we like him personally,
and that's part of it. Right.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Let's say to us some.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
One better than him, more qualified technically, yeah, that you
wouldn't want to work with them because they were technically better, right,
you want to work with Sam because you like him personally, correct,
So what holds more weight?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So think about that?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
What's more important your personal or professional relationship? Because Sam,
regardless of how professional you are, even if you were
the best guy at running the show and on the boards,
we like you personally.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Thank you, ye, but you're good way even if you
were like the fifth best, I'd still want you because
I think you're a nice guy.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
No, no, no, And it's not a knocket what you do.
We're just saying we're using you as an example. That's
the truth.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Sam's gonna get in his head like they don't think
I'm good at what I did, You're great at what
you do. You know what?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I will say this though, you find these things out,
and I think everyone could attest because I'll give you
the example of how we find the answer to this out.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
You ever lose a job, you ever get let go
fired budget cuts, you move to a new job on
your own accord, you will quickly find out who was
your friend and who wasn't.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh yeah, absolutely, we worked at.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Esp and there's a guy that worked at ESPN named
Sean Riley who was our friend then and is our
friend now he was a guy that hired us, and
he was the guy that had to make the tough
phone call that was like, guys, I don't want to
let you go, but budget cuts and this and that
and they're forcing my hand and like we still will
meet him for dinner or.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Coach coach ball games in the house.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Coach, get over here real quick, dude, you got time,
We got time for you. Are you sure you're not
You're not hob not been with Julio Franco.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Hey, we'll get back to our ESPN story in a minute.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
But again, you never know who's walking around All Star
Village here at the comp Galleria, and we've had him
on our bonus podcast, over promised. He's super famous. Let's
welcome super famous, super famous. He's got more followers than you.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Coach ball game, honored, Honored. I don't know how you
put a Fedora hat on top of this, but how.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Do you miss that? It's great to meet you in person.
That's great to meet you in person. Better question, by
the way, I had a boy, I had a boy.
I better question.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
We actually debated this because when we were coming over
here in the uber Comido goes, yeah, your buddy coach
ball game. I saw that he was hanging out with
Julio Franco so with his big drum, and I go,
has he travel with that?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yes? Did you have to check that or what? Especially?
And here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
The bag, the travel bag is on its last leg,
so this might be the last trip for it. But yeah,
the conga, we've added another maybe ten signatures, fifteen signatures.
Julio Franco's on there. Just got Fred McGriff. Oh, Dusty Baker.
I mean for a coach, Dusty Baker is the Shangra loss.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So I am.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
I'm fired up. We're gonna have to get a new boat.
Gotta get a new conga.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Dude, you need one because it's full of signatures. Dude,
how do you infiltrate? Obviously you've caught fire with your videos.
Your life is surrounded by baseball. How did you get
so in the mix?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Dude? I've seen you with everybody.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Hey, I'm gonna tell you it's other people like I.
Obviously you know I've had great mentor along the way.
I've worked hard. I have a wife that has has
been very supportive. But a guy named Joe buck Uh
opened the door with MLB, he flew to New York twice,
met with the commissioner, said watch this guy coach kids. Uh,
he needs to me part of your playball program. And
(32:16):
that kind of spawned everything else. You know that that
spawned the sand Lat Tour and me working with all
these great So I got to say thank you to
him and then all my mentors that that taught me
how to coach in my twenties. I was a bad
coach starting out, as most of us can relate, but uh,
you know, I never stopped.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Coach ball game. I noticed that you get that mutual respect.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Now you're fans of these players, but they're fans of
what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
How cool is that? It's great?
Speaker 6 (32:43):
And and to to you know, run camps with Barry
Zito or uh Peter moylan or Jay Bruce and they're
now they've got kids and they're like, you know, I've
got a World Series ring, but I don't know how
to teach my five year old son how to catch.
So I'm like, you taught me alligator back, alligator jack,
you right, any animal references things that rhyme, can't crazy.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Things patented and copy written because he's stealing all your stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
With his I'm coaching.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
It's okay, it's read it like wildfire. I do have
some sort of copyright noiar thing going on. That's not
really my bag, but I know it's there.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I teach him that.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And I love something else coach ball game does, which
is give each kid a nickname. By the way, does
that work or what? I had a question for you
that you might think. It's an interesting thought. So I coached.
I just got done coaching the All Stars. They're they're
five you, but there's an All Star team. How can
you explain how these kids were closer in three weeks
than my regular team was the whole year.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
They bonded on a level like we had pool parties. Well,
that's what it's about. I mean.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
I talked to Dusty Baker. I said, why is connection
to the hearts so important to you? And he said,
it's everything. Right when you get in the big moments
and those high leverage moments where the game is on
the line and and you've built this brotherhood, it's huge.
So as a coach, you got to prioritize that, prioritize
building trust with the with the people, not the player.
(34:08):
The person that's I mean, Dusty Baker.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Said that, Hey, speaking of nicknames, big Dumper, am I right.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
There it is?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
And we had and and and I'm working the playball
park and there's like every other nickname is I want
to be Big Dumper. And then his little brother's like,
I'm a little dump.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
That's so funny. How Ray is a blaze.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
By the way, coach ball game? Is it weird if
you if you gaze at it a little bit, because
for it.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Now, I mean it's there, it's there for a lot.
I love the Michael K. Zooman.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Oh so funny with coach ball game here at Atlanta
com Galleria Cavino.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And Rich, by the way, has like way better hair
than I noticed on social media.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Appreciate appreciate it, man, that's nice of you. And we
have a few salutes.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
We got the Brad Pitt salute to John Stamos salute,
so you know we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I I have to go in a minute.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
I've got a coach another camp with Ryan Klesko's coming over.
Hall of Famer Lee Smith is coming over. But yeah,
I got I got two minutes bringing on.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
I got one last question for you. Rich turned me
on to you. I see what you do with kids
and what you do for baseball. I fell in love
with it. So I'm a big fan now. And then
we interviewed you. I'm like, this guy's great. Even my
mom loved you all right, just like I loved him, Adam. Yeah,
I've been following your clips and I saw this speech
you made to these kids about Jim Abbot, and.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Dude, you had me so hard.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
I had I only get so many facto tears, and
I had one coming down.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I shared it with all my family.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
My little nephew didn't know about Jim Abbot, and ESPN
just did a documentary this past week about it last night.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
If I'm not so fired up to see that, I mean,
what a great story.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Yeah, I've been telling that story for twenty years. It's
just it's a great story. And I'm telling this story.
Two years ago in Orange count I had never met him,
but I've always had this dream maybe if I maybe,
if I'm telling his story and I just put it
into existence, he'll show up in support. Two years ago
in Orange County, California, he showed up. He surprised me.
(36:05):
He said, hey, coach, ball game. I hear you're telling
my story. So he came up, he talked to the kids,
he played catch and showed how he learned how to
catch and throw with one hand. And yeah, I mean
it's a no brainer. ESPN should should put fifty documentaries up.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
There, no brainer and no hitter.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
But you reminded me too how important it is to
pass on these stories. Otherwise, who's talking about Jim Abbott
to these kids?
Speaker 6 (36:29):
And you have to tap into different different personalities. I mean,
some kids love moving, some kids love storytime, some kids
love humor, some kids love music. So being able to
tap into that, I as a kid, as an eight
year old, responded to life lessons through story and music.
(36:49):
So when I'm trying to get a life lesson across,
like never give up, be kind, I'm going to tell
that Roberto Clemente story, I'm gonna tell that Jim Abbott
story to never give up, and kids respond to it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
So storytime, I'll.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Tell you what if you're a coach like I am, Yeah,
you gotta follow coach ball game.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
I use a lot of your teachings and I appreciate
your stuffing time.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Man, thank you, say man, you guys have great handshakes,
uncomfortable eye contact, pleasure and great hair.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Hair. He's got the great hair, like the STA salute.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Hey guys, no bs, if hits and you want to
pass down the good word. He is great with the kids,
man coach ball game. He's the guy with the glasses
the great hair, which he apparently covers with the.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Fedora all the time.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I know if that's that's why I told you, I
never if you have if you have hair, if you
have good hit.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Don't don't cover it up.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
But it's funny because one of his famous stories that
he tells is the Jim Abbott story and coincidentally, the
documentary just I.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Think it premiered yesterday because I saw it on TV.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
But it's a story that's making its way around again,
and you know, it's really cool to see.
Speaker 2 (37:56):

Speaker 4 (39:32):
But you see Rich and I doing our Luke and

Speaker 2 (39:35):

Speaker 4 (39:36):
So look out for us on TV and send us
a screenshot if you see us at Covino and Rich.
That's our goal to make it on TV, and we'll
tell you about it tomorrow here on the show. But
I want to thank Coach Ballgame again for stopping by.
If you have kids, or you know kids, or you
coach kids, this guy is really making a name for himself.
Everybody loves them and I understand why he's great with
(40:00):
And thanks again to James Lowe Coach Ball Game for
stopping by.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Now I'm Cavino. That is Rich and Rich. You're in
the middle of telling a story.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
We were talking about Deshaan Watson's relationship with the owner
of the Browns, Haslem, and we asked, can you still
have a good personal relationship if the professional relationship is
a little tarnished.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Well, I was saying during COVID.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
We were just a We were a casualty of you know,
COVID layoffs. And our old boss at ESPN, guy named
Sean Riley, he was the guy that hired us, but
also had to say, hey guys, it's not my choice.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Budget cuts Disney Covid.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
And you know what, we are still friends with him
to this day because that when you click with someone
and you have that friendship, business and pleasure ken mix.
I'm not one of those people that say don't mix
business and pleasure. I think it gets tricky at times,
but then again, doesn't everything get your you.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Know, I respected a guy that I admired, expected the
fact that he called us up to let us go. Yeah,
and for that we are still pals. And I actually
agree with Rich. When Rich and I agree, it's facts,
you can pull it off.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
People say don't mix business and pleasure, and I agree.
Like I said, it could get sticky and weird and
odd of times, but what's the alternative?
Speaker 2 (41:17):
Work for people you don't like?
Speaker 4 (41:18):
You're rich and not the kids azz, But I genuinely
like the people we work for now, like on a
personal level. Professionally of course, but on a personal level,
and that makes it that much better if you could
find that mix, make it work for you now on
tomorrow's show, Like we said, well, tell you all about
the derby, We'll tell you all about the fan fest.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
Here.
Speaker 4 (41:37):
We're gonna go and throw some balls around and take

You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Ah a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
It is filling in for DP Covino and Rich Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
You heard it doing it live.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
MLB All Star Village Capital One in Atlanta, where the
players play.
Speaker 4 (00:20):
For the next three days today, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The
Dan Patrick Hatricks so happy to be out here representing
Fox Sports Radio. Thank you for all your All Star votes.
Fox Sports Radio Nation, where the league leaders in votes.
Covino and Rich, if you're the Boston Red SOPs right now,
(00:40):
are the only team it's.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Like not excited to take a little break, because All
Star break is a good time for you know, everyone
on every team to just take a little breather reset
for the second half. But when you're winning ten in
a row, you're over five hundred by eight games. Now
you're on the tail of the Yankees and the Blue
Jays like now's the time.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Yeah, they don't want to stop right now.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
In fact, Jaron Durant of the Red Sox said something
interesting about if they won, so maybe if we have time,
we'll get to it, because we still got to talk
about DeShawn Watson and we got to wrap up this
story about things that make you feel old. Because there's
so many famous names in the MLB draft. And by
the way, I have a retraction. I have a Shepherd Smith.
(01:25):
I made a mistake. I'm not sure what happened. There
won't happen again. I kept saying Jackson Holiday. It's Ethan Holiday.
So you know what, because Jackson's been in the league
for years, And I kept You've seen the clip of
Ethan crying in the past twenty four hours. Ethan Holiday.
But I kept saying Jackson because it's Jackson's brother. Yeah,
but in my mind, I'm.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Like, well, Jackson Holiday. But you know can if he
writes something down, I just wrote it down.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
He's rond So Ethan Holiday, cam Lighter Cayden can't. Brady Counsel,
Max Maguire's all these famous sceness. It was either famous
dad or relative in the league. You start seeing it
and you're like, man, I saw their dad. I had
their dad's rookie. I watched him play.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
His career is over. Now his sons in the league.
There's one thing.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
When your heroes retired, right now their kids are playing.
So we're talking about things that make you feel old.
We're not trying to make you feel old. We're trying
to make you feel young, but it is relatable. We
all have those feelings.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
The list of baseball players in this draft, in particular,
like you said that, there's some relation to another form
of really more famous names than ever. No, without a doubt.
I even just saw another one that makes me feel
a little old. Quentin Young just got drafted in the
first round. Dimitri and Delman are his two uncles.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
Yeah, so it's like, again, it's a nature nurture question,
but it is wild to see.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Now, you know what makes me feel old?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Before we wrap up with the phone calls eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, you can hit us up
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Hashtag riches old.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
That's not the hashtag, you know, it's the Love Island
buzz of twenty twenty five. It's the rage of twenty
twenty five. Now, I'm all for young people having fun.
I'm all for us having fun here in Atlanta, but
when I see them all making out with each other,
there's a part of me it's like that's wrong.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
Especially when one of the dudes had a herpie on
his lips, Like all.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Right, We've seen dating shows before and everyone sort of
hooks up, but rich this show is like in consecutive order,
like I'm making it out with this person, then that person,
then that all. Like I'm like, they saw that they
use banaka? Do they freshen up? Do they use mount
Listerine in between kisses? Ere one is going on and
they they did have a herb or what appeared to
(03:46):
be a herpie breakout because it's like everyone is making up.
That makes me feel old when I see that, because
I'm like, I don't know if I would do that.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
We watched the Real World, remember and more. That looks
so now compared to.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
That, I mean, please.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And of course they're language like, and I try to
stay up on lingo. I'm a big fan of lingo,
but crash out and shopped, Like do you even know
what chopped means? Because they have their own language dueniels.
If someone's chopped, that means they're.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Just not good looking. So yo, he's chopped, she's chopped,
you know.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
I like how you're standing on business.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Yes, and I'm business? What up? Twin?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Like instead of bro, it's if you're my like my daughter,
she's a teenager, right, if to put a guy in
a friend zone, she'd be like, what up twin, meaning
like you're like a bro to me, you're twin?
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Or gang? Hey, what up gang? It means like you're
just one of my gang. You're just you're just a friend.
What up gang? Back to the Love Island thing, I
couldn't resist.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I had to start watching with the Wife a little
bit because all you idiots are talking about it, even
on like episode one and two when they first partner up,
and they're.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Like, all right, you get to make out with two
people to see who you click with. What if you
don't want this? This one girl went up to a dude,
was like a lock.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Slobbering, and then she goes okay, goes up to another dude.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
It was like a lot, and I'm like, dude's and
the second guy. It not sound gross, but I was like, babe,
if you're that second guy.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
She was just all over that first guy with nothing.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
I would be like, no, thanks, I'm good for a chat.
I don't want sloppy fifths.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
Well, good on.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
I have a couple other things that make us feel
old and io was sam is on the phones.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
If you want to chime in, Covino and Rich and
for Dan Patrick when they asked college athletes.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
They did this on TikTok and Instagram a lot like
yo yo yo, as they're walking in and out of
the locker room, Like what year does someone have to
be born for you to consider them old? And all
these kids now are like when they were born in
the nineteen hundreds, And I'm like, they think if you
were born in the nineteen hundreds, that means your oldest.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
They thought you you got around on horse and buggy
were things in black and white in the nineties.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
It's the videos of when they hand kids a cassette
tape and say it show us how this works.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Oh yeah, they don't know how, or a rotary phone
or something they have no clue, or they don't even
know what a phone booth is.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
I saw a clip the other day that really made
me go for real. I get it because it's a
ninety song. But there's a dude on TikTok or Instagram
that goes around and he'll say the first lyric of
a song and he asked like the young people would
have at his office to finish the lyric, and he
was over his whole office.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I'll do it for you, guys.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Whole office, the whole the whole office was like, didn't know.
And the guy's like, all right, come on, I'm gonna
go around to all the twenty somethings up my office.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Ready. Peaches come from a can. They were put there
by a man in a factory.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Down Damn when I tell you not what he's like.
Peaches come from a canon.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
They're like like and they taste it and they're on sale.
I'll give you one more quick one and then we'll
go to your feedback. What makes you feel old?
Speaker 2 (07:01):
I got one. I have a personal story my wife
and was it looking in the mirror my wife and I.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
My wife and I were in combo when I feel
like I look good for my age and my wife
certainly my wife certainly does as well. We were at
a nice hotel and some college kid on spring break
was drunk and he tried to sneak into our hotel.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Danny.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
He was in the lobby and he was like, I'm
trying to look like a towel and water and he's like,
I'm gonna get kicked out of here, and he goes,
yo yo, if they try.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
To kick me out. I'll just tell them that you
guys are my parents. And I was like, oh, I
was like your parent, get out of it. I was like, wow,
I want to kick him in the ass to be
your dad. I guess. So you sure do, mister.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
When someone calls you mister or sir for the first time,
you're like, huh. When you realize that kids today they
have different they have different labels for the genres you
grew up with. For example, they call nineties rock, which
we call like grunge rock right or alt rock at
the time they call that classic rock. Now, So when
(08:08):
classic rock is now considered like Nirvana, Soundgarden and Alison Chains,
you're like, wait, that's classic rock to you, get out
of my face. Classic rock is the Doors and Hendricks
and it's not Nirvana.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
So you thought it was.
Speaker 5 (08:23):
This is just like oldies radio station oldies when when
we're kids, oldies was Elvis.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oldies was like Frankie Valley in the Four Seasons. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (08:32):
Now now the Sugarhill Gang Rappers Delight is on an oldies.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
When you realize your music is now considered the classic
or the oldies, you're like, what in the hell, Well
as the meme goes we all think nineteen seventies or
thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yeah, and it's actually the nineties. And for the record,
we're not the show.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
You know, what makes me angry, what boils boils my goat,
what boils my blood, gets my goat?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You know what boils my goat? Rich?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
But when some when young, like they're in their twenties
or younger twenties, thirties or are talking about how they
feel old, I'm like, get out of my face with that,
because I'm in no rush to feel old.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Ever.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
I want to make that clear. We've got plenty of
life to feel old. No, I'm not trying to do that.
You know Mike who runs his place? Who Yeah, Mike, Yeah, Mike,
Mike fought sports.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yeah, he said. You know what makes Mike who runs
his place, feel old? When he's Abe Lincoln in his
yearbook photos when he went high school with Woodrow Wilson,
when he said, when he.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Goes when I'm awak, you know, let's gotta let's go
to Keith in Arizona in for DP Cave, you know,
Rich having fun with you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
What's up, Keith?
Speaker 4 (09:41):
I got Now you're talking about feeling old?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I grew up watching the Big.
Speaker 6 (09:46):
Red Machine, King Griffeet.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Okay, all King Griffy Jr's career and here at Tucson,
King Griffy Junior's son played football at the University of Arizona.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Damn.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
By the way, I saw a great clip the other day, Ke,
if you're a Griffy fan. Barry Bonds who, by the way,
another topic we could maybe get to later, how baseball.
Stead of embracing Barry Bonds again, Barry Bond said that
if he had not got injured, by far, he thinks
Ken Griffy Junior is the only player he thinks was
better than him. He said, King Griffey Junior was the
(10:20):
best player to ever play Major League baseball, and if
he had not got injured like number.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
One, He's not really going out on a limb with
that one means.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
I mean it's big of him because of who he
Barry Bonds always claims that, yeah, yeah, Crank was he
was incredibly great. So yeah, I could I could see that.
Let's go to Mark in Nebraska. What's up Mark?
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Real quick? I go clear back to the dude Brodie.
Speaker 6 (10:45):
So I'm glad, glad to catch it because ever I'll
change jobs and illusion and then every two or three
years I'll have to catch up.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
And he's like, wow, a lot of change.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
So yeah, what makes you feel old when you find
your favorite radio show every five years, every like over
twenty years.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
When you hear me.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
Talking, I'm like, yeah, my daughter's sixteen now, and he's like, wait.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
You're not with Leila anymore?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Anyway? I don't know anyway.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
So when you get on social media and it.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Goes like this weekend forty years ago, the Doonies came
out and you were like holding hands with your junior
high girlfriend with that stuffs rough, well, forget not even
the pop culture memories like on this day, and it's
like a sports or pop culture memory, even your own
Facebook memories.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
How about Facebook itself?
Speaker 3 (11:34):
You go on Facebook, that makes you sound like an
old guy, because now kids are like Facebook's like their parents'
social media.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
You know, it makes me feel terribly old.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
And it ties into baseball when you see your team's
highlights from like the nineties and it looks like it's
from the eighteen nineties and you're like, oh my god,
where the graphics and the production package that week back then?
And of course the I guess the transfer to video
and our TVs today is different.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Well, but it looks so old and blurry and horrible.
I told you the funny story was.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
You know, when we were kids, we thought, hey, Grandpa
and Grandpa, did you live in the black and white?
Speaker 2 (12:11):
Because every picture of video of your grandparents was black
and white. Yeah, we lived in the blurry.
Speaker 3 (12:14):
My kids, I showed them because it's my Mets only
real highlight. Nineteen eighty six. I was a little boy.
My son's like, dad, did the Mets ever win the Championship?
I go, buddy, they won the World Series? When when
dad was your age, when I was so little boy,
He goes, can I see it? I pulled up a
video on YouTube and my five year old son goes, Dad,
was was everything blurry back then?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Was was? He asked? If life was blurry? Life was blurry?
I mean, that's eighty six.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
If you go to ninety six and you see the
Yankees beating the Braves, Sorry, Atlanta, it looks like the
oldest footage ever.
Speaker 2 (12:50):
It makes you feel old. You're like, damn, I was
alive back then.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Well, if you noticed in the world of baseball, so
many of the kids being drafted are just you know,
even to former MLB legends and role players. So a
lot of nature nurture conversations baseball. But Danny, let's let's
direct our attention. You said, there's a major rumor going
on right now in the world of football regarding Nick Saban.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, this is catching fire all over social media right now,
all right. Former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy said this morning
on wjo X ninety four or five that a very
much in the no person believes Nick Saban will return
to coaching. If it wasn't someone notable, I would never
say a word Mackrell. McElroy said on the air. So, yeah,
(13:34):
I mean we thought maybe Saban had one more team
in him, right, But I also thought with.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
The nature of NIL and the way college football went,
I'm not saying Nick Saban the great coach, but what
I'm saying is Alabama was sort of set up to be.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
A contender every year with Nick Saban.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But now at the NIL as you could tell any
college could spend money and be good. Now it's a
different ballgame. So I'm surprised. I thought Nick Saban was
gonna be like, yeah, I'll just chilling broadcast.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
If you really love coaching, though, can that even keep
you away?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Guess not. You know what I'm really curious about.
Speaker 4 (14:12):
We haven't talked about him in like a good month,
because we talked about.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Him every day for a while.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Bill Belichick, North Carolina Young Girlfriend Program over there, like
I've been.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Busy, right, what's gonna happen there?
Speaker 4 (14:25):
So we'll keep you in the loop on that, Nick Saban,
Could there be a return to the coaching? That's interesting, man,
you know what this feels like though, Danny g and
I get it's a big name, but you don't want
the game to pass you by. And Rich made a
really great point about Nil changing everything up where maybe
he can't be as competitive as he used to be
because it's more of an equal playing field. It's like
(14:47):
when Tony LaRussa came back out and he was just
too old to be vibing with those young players and
grand opening, grand closing, and the game sort of passed
them by.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah, And we talked about how knowing when to tap
out you always bring up to David letter Yeah. I
feel like Letterman was the master of being like, all right,
the world's going more social media. I'm not the late
night host. I'm not doing carpool karaoke, or I'm not
posting little clips like Fallin or Kimmel. So Letterman tapped
out at the right time and said, you know what
I'm gonna do. I'm gonna pivot to an interview Shaw
(15:16):
on Netflix. And he nailed it because no one ever said, hey,
let Himan needs to get out of here.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And no one's telling Saban what to do.
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Hey, if this is what brings him joy and he
wants to be very still and he looks at this
as a challenge and he could still deliver. That's again,
his legacy, that's his life. But he already made that pivot.
I feel he already made that pivot. Go ahead, give
me your stupid line pivot and uh, you know, we'll.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Keep you posted at Yeah seventy three.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
See that's what I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
He's been out of coaching and recruiting now for two seasons.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Yeah, dude, I mean again, I never want to criticize
folks in their seventies. I'll tell you why, because my
dad's in his early set and I look at my
dad and some of his friends that have stayed relatively
young that's still golf and play tennis and do things
like seventy now.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
And I'm not just saying that seventy now is not
with seventy one. No, it's like eight carol now.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yea. When my grandparents were seventy something, they looked like, well,
they had been through a war, but they looked old
as hell.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
My grandparents at seventy looked ninety. Yeah. No, for sure,
he's a different seventy three years.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
Just so your parents, can you know, at our big
cavino rich party, your parents are approaching seventy No, yeah,
at seventy two.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Say we do not look like our grandparents even in there.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
Now.
Speaker 3 (16:34):
So your grandma was wearing a moon moon she was
like fifty. Yeah, I cred did anyone's grandmother unless they
were rich. My grandparents were not. My grandparents wore like
moo moos. And my grandmother didn't do makeup or anything
like that.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
She was she was an old ass lady.
Speaker 4 (16:49):
She had a beehive hairdo. She's like fifty years old
wearing a moo moom. She was still a young woman.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So hey, you know what again, there is.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
A there's a there's a great ill and knowing when
to say when. It's like going out on your own
terms and not looking back.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
There's there's something about that that's very special.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
It's like even Ozzy Osbourne he took his final bow
two weekends ago. He's seventy six years old, but he
did it on his own terms. He's like, you know what,
I'm getting sick, I got Parkinson's now I'm older.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
This is my last show. This is it. So you
have to know when to say when.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
And hey, maybe Nick Saban isn't there yet, but knowing
that that's to be decided, and knowing that, but.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Knowing you knowing this seemed like it was his time.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
Knowing when you say when it is scary because then
all right, then what are you doing waiting to die?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
So your new That was my point. He was doing
well broadcasting.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
He made a pivot that seemed to be it's like
when when the old guy gets the job at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
It's like, you know, he moved on, he retired, but
he's still working go greet people, dude.
Speaker 4 (17:53):
Yeah, he was doing his version of that on a
higher and more successful level.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
So he was working.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So here's your headline, Mike, who runs a place when
you put out the social media stuff. Covino says, Bill,
Bill Belichick and Nick Saban should both be greeters at Walmart.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, that's it. That's what I said.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, thank you guys, and thank you Danny g for
the scoop and the gossip, because we're here at the
Convention Center at the Cobb Galleria for All Star Break
and yeah we miss a bulldog country.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
We're in college football country here.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
But speaking of football, Deshaun Watson, let's talk about him
real quick and then we'll get you involved. We'll set
it up and then take your phone calls. At eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, Covino and rich In for
Dan Patrick. Deshaun Watson got married, right, I.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Have to make Sandler references, you know, Dan Patrick, that's right.
The Sandman might be listening. Cindy and Scott are getting married.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
There's a picture of Brown's owner, Jimmy Haslam in attendance
at the wedding, and he's there and he looks very sincere,
like a proud father shaking the hand of Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Deshaun Watson looking all handsome.
Speaker 4 (19:10):
All white, nice as little white, little off white class.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
He's rocking his white bow tie and Jimmy Haslam goes
up to him. He's shaking his hand.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
He embraids, and the story is that Haslam and Watson
share a special bond. He was in attendance for the wedding.
Probably give him a nice gift. By the way, do
you invite rich people just in hopes they give you
a good gift?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
I heard these, I'm gonna invite all our bosses. This
is a wedding if I ever get married. The wedding hack,
apparently is send an invitation to.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
Invite Colin Cowherd and Dan Patrick and the Sandman Sandler's invited.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
I heard.
Speaker 3 (19:42):
Yes, there have been people that send out wedding invitations
to just random rich people because sometimes an assistant will
get the invite and be like and they I.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Just said them a couple hundred bucks. Like there have
been people that have schemed.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Yeah, Jimmy has them actually went through the wedding, which
is really nice. It goes to show you, dude, he's
an important business guy, right, But.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
It's also the guy that they gave one hundreds of
millions of dollars too.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
So but you know, sometimes you keep that separated, but
he's there because he apparently genuinely cares about him.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
So the story is that did he give that massage
tables to all his groomsmith?
Speaker 2 (20:23):
No, no, no, I mean he might have, I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
And then the little gifts on each table though, Yeah,
you think there was like little bottles, mini bottles of
lotion with their Oh yeah, definitely their names on it
in the date.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
Yeah, absolutely, Jimmy has them. Also admitted recently we talked
about this. It was a viral story that he publicly
stated he made a mistake or something along those lines.
Speaker 5 (20:46):
He made a mistake on the contract.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
On the contract with Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
That's not necessarily a nice thing to say, but it's
also very true when they when they have this full
quarterback room of you know, every from everyone from Deshaun
Sam Sorry, Shadoor Sanders to.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
The other rookie to that Flacco is still there.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
They have this big, five person deep quarterback room, and
I believe the owner used the phrase something like, well
we did swing and miss on. Yeah, Deshaun Watson, he
admitted he made a mistake but apparently still has a
good personal relationship.
Speaker 5 (21:20):
Yeah, don't forget Kenny Pickett and Dylan Gabriel Nicket.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yes he can. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
So there's a ton of quarterbacks in that room. So
it poses like a bunch of questions. Question number one,
does anybody really still believe in Deshaun Watson? Because Haslam
might even though he thinks contractually he made a mistake,
he does have love for this guy. Does anyone believe
in the Shawn Watson? Fox Sports Radio Nation? Then the
two layer question, here's the other prong of the story.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
It's actually a three part doozy Rich. Okay, first, do
you believe in DeShawn? Does anyone still believe in the Shawn?
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Anybody? What's more important? A personal or professional relationship?
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Okay, think of that because professionally, I don't know where
they stand, but personally they're in good terms.
Speaker 2 (22:09):
And can you still have a good personal.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Relationship if you have a bad professional relationship? That's why
people don't mix business with pleasure. Can you still have
a good personal relationship if you have a bad professional relationship?
Speaker 5 (22:24):
Rich, this would be like in Coveno. I'm sure you
can speak to this. If the show got in trouble.
Let's say we were a bunch of slouches who all
slept in this morning and didn't get over here to
All Star Village and let all the sponsors and listeners down,
and we were no longer at Fox Sports Radio. Would
you guys still have a good personal relationship away from
(22:44):
the business with our bosses?
Speaker 4 (22:46):
It makes it a lot tougher, Which is why I
commend Jimmy for being at this wedding, because the show
and hasn't made anything easy for this guy and how
he looks as a decision maker and businessman. It's like spot,
I want to strangle this guy professionally. It does put
a little bit of stress on your personal relationship, but
I'm still able to be friends with the guy, right.
(23:06):
So it postes a lot of questions. Do you believe
in Deshaun Watson?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
He's gonna make sure he uses now all the cuts
on his video that you look the worst thing?
Speaker 2 (23:14):
Yeah, exactly is our video guy?
Speaker 4 (23:15):
What's more important personal or professional relationships? And can you
still have a good personal relationship if you have a
bad professional one?
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Let us know.
Speaker 4 (23:24):

Mark McGuire, No Max?
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Ye?
Speaker 2 (25:42):
I think you mean Mark? No Max? There? Get old. Yeah,
Max was drafted.
Speaker 4 (25:47):
But now we're talking to Shawn Watson NFL. Well, I'm
a bigger fan of Randall Watson. I mean he's the
most famous of all the Watsons. But based on his
relationship with Jimmy Haslam who at his wedding, Jimmy who
made a mistake or admitted he made a mistake in
that contract, professionally he still likes him.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Personally, neither they're hanging in And that's the thing. Professionally
and personally. You had you had a multi tier question,
which I loved.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Well, the first one was obvious. Does does anyone believe
in Deshaun Watson? I mean, I mean, I just feel like,
can your talent have dropped off that much that quick?
Does he put no work in? Because people fall off
cliffs man. You hear it all the time. One day
you got it, one year you got it, and then
you don't.
Speaker 5 (26:30):
At least on the field. In his defense, when he
came back from the injury, he looked decent and then
he got injured again. Yeah, and the reports have been
that he has looked good with his rehab. So there's
at least that, you.
Speaker 4 (26:43):
Know, from a football standpoint, I don't want to root
against him, right, I'm always rooting for people to have
a great career.
Speaker 2 (26:52):
It's just his past makes it tough.
Speaker 3 (26:55):
Yeah, I mean, listen massages and you know, not delivering
on the field. There's like a multitude of reasons why
people will hate on this guy personally and professionally. And
speaking of personally professionally, that's tier two of your question.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Can you separate those things? Yeah, what's more important? You're
a personal relationship or professional relationship.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I've always struggled with this, and I'll tell you why,
because professionally what we do, I feel like our show
is better and I've always felt like we've had something
special with our show, and Danny when you joined our
show when we were moved to Fox, I feel like
if I get a closer relationship with the people I
work with, we're better because what you create more of
(27:38):
a bye.
Speaker 4 (27:39):
The boring answer is both matters. And you know what,
some people don't really understand that. Some people keep it
too professional and not enough personal. And that's why I
don't know. You're always a number. That's just the truth.
When it comes to budget cuts, You're always.
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Just a number.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
But you have to be a little far ahead of
a little more ahead of the game.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
If you have a personal relationship as opposed to a
guy who doesn't know.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
But I there's a there's a part of me that
just thinks I want to surround myself with people I enjoy, right,
And that's why I like Ioa Sam, Like, we work
with you every day, but io was Sam's been to
my house.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
We've had drinks around my fire pit in.
Speaker 4 (28:21):
The yard, like I want because I feel like on
a team you guys, true, like at work and at home.
I feel like if I have a relationship with you,
we're gonna work together better. But then it also creates
awkward moments too though that give you butt heads with someone.
It's like, oh, man, like, all right, let's put let's
use iOS Sam as an example, right in Iowa. Sam,
(28:42):
this is only an example because fire him right now. No, no, no,
But we think he's great at what he does. But
it's not just the technical aspect of what he does,
pressing buttons in the studio and running the show. You know,
he brings a good vibe and we like him personally,
and that's part of it. Right.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Let's say to us some.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
One better than him, more qualified technically, yeah, that you
wouldn't want to work with them because they were technically better, right,
you want to work with Sam because you like him personally, correct,
So what holds more weight?
Speaker 2 (29:13):
So think about that?
Speaker 4 (29:15):
What's more important your personal or professional relationship? Because Sam,
regardless of how professional you are, even if you were
the best guy at running the show and on the boards,
we like you personally.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
Thank you, ye, but you're good way even if you
were like the fifth best, I'd still want you because
I think you're a nice guy.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
No, no, no, And it's not a knocket what you do.
We're just saying we're using you as an example. That's
the truth.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
Sam's gonna get in his head like they don't think
I'm good at what I did, You're great at what
you do. You know what?
Speaker 3 (29:41):
I will say this though, you find these things out,
and I think everyone could attest because I'll give you
the example of how we find the answer to this out.
Speaker 4 (29:48):
You ever lose a job, you ever get let go
fired budget cuts, you move to a new job on
your own accord, you will quickly find out who was
your friend and who wasn't.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Oh yeah, absolutely, we worked at.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
Esp and there's a guy that worked at ESPN named
Sean Riley who was our friend then and is our
friend now he was a guy that hired us, and
he was the guy that had to make the tough
phone call that was like, guys, I don't want to
let you go, but budget cuts and this and that
and they're forcing my hand and like we still will
meet him for dinner or.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
Coach coach ball games in the house.
Speaker 4 (30:21):
Coach, get over here real quick, dude, you got time,
We got time for you. Are you sure you're not
You're not hob not been with Julio Franco.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Hey, we'll get back to our ESPN story in a minute.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
But again, you never know who's walking around All Star
Village here at the comp Galleria, and we've had him
on our bonus podcast, over promised. He's super famous. Let's
welcome super famous, super famous. He's got more followers than you.
Speaker 6 (30:50):
Coach ball game, honored, Honored. I don't know how you
put a Fedora hat on top of this, but how.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Do you miss that? It's great to meet you in person.
That's great to meet you in person. Better question, by
the way, I had a boy, I had a boy.
I better question.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
We actually debated this because when we were coming over
here in the uber Comido goes, yeah, your buddy coach
ball game. I saw that he was hanging out with
Julio Franco so with his big drum, and I go,
has he travel with that?
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Yes? Did you have to check that or what? Especially?
And here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (31:17):
The bag, the travel bag is on its last leg,
so this might be the last trip for it. But yeah,
the conga, we've added another maybe ten signatures, fifteen signatures.
Julio Franco's on there. Just got Fred McGriff. Oh, Dusty Baker.
I mean for a coach, Dusty Baker is the Shangra loss.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
So I am.
Speaker 6 (31:38):
I'm fired up. We're gonna have to get a new boat.
Gotta get a new conga.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Dude, you need one because it's full of signatures. Dude,
how do you infiltrate? Obviously you've caught fire with your videos.
Your life is surrounded by baseball. How did you get
so in the mix?
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Dude? I've seen you with everybody.
Speaker 6 (31:54):
Hey, I'm gonna tell you it's other people like I.
Obviously you know I've had great mentor along the way.
I've worked hard. I have a wife that has has
been very supportive. But a guy named Joe buck Uh
opened the door with MLB, he flew to New York twice,
met with the commissioner, said watch this guy coach kids. Uh,
he needs to me part of your playball program. And
(32:16):
that kind of spawned everything else. You know that that
spawned the sand Lat Tour and me working with all
these great So I got to say thank you to
him and then all my mentors that that taught me
how to coach in my twenties. I was a bad
coach starting out, as most of us can relate, but uh,
you know, I never stopped.
Speaker 2 (32:35):
Coach ball game. I noticed that you get that mutual respect.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Now you're fans of these players, but they're fans of
what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
How cool is that? It's great?
Speaker 6 (32:43):
And and to to you know, run camps with Barry
Zito or uh Peter moylan or Jay Bruce and they're
now they've got kids and they're like, you know, I've
got a World Series ring, but I don't know how
to teach my five year old son how to catch.
So I'm like, you taught me alligator back, alligator jack,
you right, any animal references things that rhyme, can't crazy.
Speaker 4 (33:05):
Things patented and copy written because he's stealing all your stuff.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
With his I'm coaching.
Speaker 6 (33:10):
It's okay, it's read it like wildfire. I do have
some sort of copyright noiar thing going on. That's not
really my bag, but I know it's there.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I teach him that.
Speaker 3 (33:22):
And I love something else coach ball game does, which
is give each kid a nickname. By the way, does
that work or what? I had a question for you
that you might think. It's an interesting thought. So I coached.
I just got done coaching the All Stars. They're they're
five you, but there's an All Star team. How can
you explain how these kids were closer in three weeks
than my regular team was the whole year.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
They bonded on a level like we had pool parties. Well,
that's what it's about. I mean.
Speaker 6 (33:48):
I talked to Dusty Baker. I said, why is connection
to the hearts so important to you? And he said,
it's everything. Right when you get in the big moments
and those high leverage moments where the game is on
the line and and you've built this brotherhood, it's huge.
So as a coach, you got to prioritize that, prioritize
building trust with the with the people, not the player.
(34:08):
The person that's I mean, Dusty Baker.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Said that, Hey, speaking of nicknames, big Dumper, am I right.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
There it is?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
And we had and and and I'm working the playball
park and there's like every other nickname is I want
to be Big Dumper. And then his little brother's like,
I'm a little dump.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
That's so funny. How Ray is a blaze.
Speaker 4 (34:27):
By the way, coach ball game? Is it weird if
you if you gaze at it a little bit, because
for it.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
Now, I mean it's there, it's there for a lot.
I love the Michael K. Zooman.
Speaker 4 (34:36):
Oh so funny with coach ball game here at Atlanta
com Galleria Cavino.
Speaker 3 (34:43):
And Rich, by the way, has like way better hair
than I noticed on social media.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Appreciate appreciate it, man, that's nice of you. And we
have a few salutes.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
We got the Brad Pitt salute to John Stamos salute,
so you know we're getting there.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I I have to go in a minute.
Speaker 6 (34:57):
I've got a coach another camp with Ryan Klesko's coming over.
Hall of Famer Lee Smith is coming over. But yeah,
I got I got two minutes bringing on.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
I got one last question for you. Rich turned me
on to you. I see what you do with kids
and what you do for baseball. I fell in love
with it. So I'm a big fan now. And then
we interviewed you. I'm like, this guy's great. Even my
mom loved you all right, just like I loved him, Adam. Yeah,
I've been following your clips and I saw this speech
you made to these kids about Jim Abbot, and.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Dude, you had me so hard.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
I had I only get so many facto tears, and
I had one coming down.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I shared it with all my family.
Speaker 4 (35:34):
My little nephew didn't know about Jim Abbot, and ESPN
just did a documentary this past week about it last night.
Speaker 6 (35:40):
If I'm not so fired up to see that, I mean,
what a great story.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
And here's the deal.
Speaker 6 (35:44):
Yeah, I've been telling that story for twenty years. It's
just it's a great story. And I'm telling this story.
Two years ago in Orange count I had never met him,
but I've always had this dream maybe if I maybe,
if I'm telling his story and I just put it
into existence, he'll show up in support. Two years ago
in Orange County, California, he showed up. He surprised me.
(36:05):
He said, hey, coach, ball game. I hear you're telling
my story. So he came up, he talked to the kids,
he played catch and showed how he learned how to
catch and throw with one hand. And yeah, I mean
it's a no brainer. ESPN should should put fifty documentaries up.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
There, no brainer and no hitter.
Speaker 4 (36:22):
But you reminded me too how important it is to
pass on these stories. Otherwise, who's talking about Jim Abbott
to these kids?
Speaker 6 (36:29):
And you have to tap into different different personalities. I mean,
some kids love moving, some kids love storytime, some kids
love humor, some kids love music. So being able to
tap into that, I as a kid, as an eight
year old, responded to life lessons through story and music.
(36:49):
So when I'm trying to get a life lesson across,
like never give up, be kind, I'm going to tell
that Roberto Clemente story, I'm gonna tell that Jim Abbott
story to never give up, and kids respond to it.
Speaker 2 (37:01):
So storytime, I'll.
Speaker 3 (37:02):
Tell you what if you're a coach like I am, Yeah,
you gotta follow coach ball game.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
I use a lot of your teachings and I appreciate
your stuffing time.
Speaker 6 (37:09):
Man, thank you, say man, you guys have great handshakes,
uncomfortable eye contact, pleasure and great hair.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
Hair. He's got the great hair, like the STA salute.
Speaker 4 (37:21):
Hey guys, no bs, if hits and you want to
pass down the good word. He is great with the kids,
man coach ball game. He's the guy with the glasses
the great hair, which he apparently covers with the.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
Fedora all the time.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
I know if that's that's why I told you, I
never if you have if you have hair, if you
have good hit.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
Don't don't cover it up.
Speaker 4 (37:39):
But it's funny because one of his famous stories that
he tells is the Jim Abbott story and coincidentally, the
documentary just I.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Think it premiered yesterday because I saw it on TV.
Speaker 4 (37:50):
But it's a story that's making its way around again,
and you know, it's really cool to see.
Speaker 2 (37:56):

That's our goal to make it on TV, and we'll
tell you about it tomorrow here on the show. But
I want to thank Coach Ballgame again for stopping by.
If you have kids, or you know kids, or you
coach kids, this guy is really making a name for himself.
Everybody loves them and I understand why he's great with
(40:00):
And thanks again to James Lowe Coach Ball Game for
stopping by.
Speaker 2 (40:04):
Now I'm Cavino. That is Rich and Rich. You're in
the middle of telling a story.
Speaker 4 (40:08):
We were talking about Deshaan Watson's relationship with the owner
of the Browns, Haslem, and we asked, can you still
have a good personal relationship if the professional relationship is
a little tarnished.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Well, I was saying during COVID.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
We were just a We were a casualty of you know,
COVID layoffs. And our old boss at ESPN, guy named
Sean Riley, he was the guy that hired us, but
also had to say, hey guys, it's not my choice.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
Budget cuts Disney Covid.
Speaker 3 (40:37):
And you know what, we are still friends with him
to this day because that when you click with someone
and you have that friendship, business and pleasure ken mix.
I'm not one of those people that say don't mix
business and pleasure. I think it gets tricky at times,
but then again, doesn't everything get your you.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
Know, I respected a guy that I admired, expected the
fact that he called us up to let us go. Yeah,
and for that we are still pals. And I actually
agree with Rich. When Rich and I agree, it's facts,
you can pull it off.
Speaker 3 (41:11):
People say don't mix business and pleasure, and I agree.
