Speaker 2 (00:38):
Care I care.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'll watch any fight. I watch animals fight on Animal Planet.
I watch bugs fight. I watch my dog fight at
Praying Mantis. That's a true story. My dog came into
the house with a praying mantis and I said, the
praying mantis doing drunken, drunken master Ninja moves.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
They were fighting. I enjoyed it.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
I love any fight now, I love legitimate it fights
more like I want to see a real fight, like
Virgil Ortiz is fighting this weekend.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
You're like, who, I don't care.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Because You're the bozo that loves the circus and loves
the spectacle. The casual fans love it, and if it
brings casual fans to fighting and boxing, I'm all for it.
Nate Diaz forty years old. Jake Paul twenty eight years old.
Now the backstory exists. Jake Paul is supposed to fight
Gervonte Davis. Like Rich said, Jervonte Davis got in some trouble.

(01:27):
He assaulted a stripper. That's the other story. There's many
stories surrounding this guy got him in some trouble. Now
he's off that fight, and as you know, Jake Paul
spoke publicly about his disdain for this guy and how
he promotes swimmen and he supports women. He'd never want
to give more money to this guy. So that fights off.
Who's going to replace him? Francis Nganu was a name,

(01:49):
Ryan Garcia was a name. Roaldie Romeo to his gloves
in the ring Edgar Burlango was saying he wanted that
pay day.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Well, of course he wouldn't want the pay day.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
But of all the people you just I would have
been probably pumped for any of those. Wow In Ganu
so big with a whoop Jake Paul's ass. And then
you said, oh, Ryan Garcia, that's a smaller guy, but
that would have been fun. Everything you mentioned is better
than Nate Diaz, who no one cares about.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
What do you mean anymore?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
You mean UFC legend Banass, younger brother of Nick Diaz,
legend Nick Daz, Nate Diaz. It's a rematch. By the way, Hello,
did anyone not see the battle got him? Can I
just say I'm not here to say I'm so pumped
about this, but I'm saying it's better than nothing. Because
you and I were going away next week boys trip right,

(02:39):
We're going to Arizona. Watched the Cardinals play. We planned
on watching a fight. Give you another day, Jacoby Brissett fan.
There's thousands of people who were excited to go to
see this fight. Maybe friends getting together. At least we're
gonna get something again. Allegedly supposedly, not officially, but likely
Nate Diaz, Jake Paul too.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's a rematch, a worthy rematch.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
And here's why Nate Diaz really fought fought hard in
this fight, dude, it was It was a closer fight
than anyone had expected. It was a bit of a battle,
and dude, is better than nothing.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I'll take it. Can I tell you something?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
First of all, your memory must be trash because there
was nothing awesome about that fight. I remember Nate Diaz
looked sluggish and nath Dz lacked power, but he kept
fighting and it made it exciting. Oh, they should use
your tagline because that's how I feel about it. Nate
Diaz versus Jake Paul quote better than nothing. Wow, you're

(03:36):
really selling it. Hey, guys, yo, Damn Bayer, you want
to uh, you want nothing for lunch or a sandwich
for lunch?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Sandwich better than nothing?

Speaker 3 (03:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Btn better than hey? Wasn't that our tagline? Today's national
donut Dad? I think someone brought us donuts?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Right?

Speaker 1 (03:52):
There was one, like, you know, like plain donut left
Hey better than nothing? And you know what, you could
say that's lame, but it's also true and it's also correct,
and then use that to the little little piece of
that doughnut was btn As Dan Byer put it, better
than nothing well, and he just tat this because I
think nobody deserves it more than a Nate Daz. The

(04:13):
guy devoted his life to fighting and mixed martial arts.
He's a tough dude, He's a badass. These other guys
really just wanted to pay day. Nate Diaz really just
wants to get in here and brawl. He wants to fight.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Nate Diz.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
To me, he's like the Kevin Feeder line of MMA,
like someone from like that was like relevant at one
point ten twenty years ago, and no one really cares anymore.
Nate Diz, Hey, where's my MMA?

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Fans at?

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Did you hear what this guy just said? The Kevin
Feeder line of MMA, of fighting? The Kevin Feeder line
A guy who accomplished nothing, that's what he's saying about.
Back up there, Judy Married, he's the casper of you're
talking about a mixed martial art legend and fan favorite.
Less he's a fan favorite for sure, Nate Dz. So

(04:56):
you're really downplaying his fighting significance. Is he a boxer?

Speaker 2 (05:01):
No? But neither is Jake Paul Really?

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Well he is now, but I'm now I'm interested in
the fight, just to see if Nate Diaz comes out
to Poposau at the fight. Kevin Federline's great hits.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
I know that's well he compared, you know, what the
same level of significance to me. No. When I saw
a headline yesterday it said a cardly Ray Jepson's pregnant
and congratulations. But I'm like the call her maybe girl.
How is she still getting a headline? How is Nate
da still getting a headline? Nate Diaz is way more

(05:35):
legendary than you're painting the picture out to be. Right now,
we're talking about a guy who devoted, like I said,
devoted and dedicated his life to UFC, one of the UFC.
I don't want to say faces of the Mount Rushmore.
But he's up there. Man lazily collected money from Jake
Paul once before to just stand there and have a
half assed back if you.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Were dropped on your head.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
That was way more of a battle than anyone had expected,
because Jake Paul is a lot stronger and bigger and younger.
Better than love him all right, Well again, this is
the update. Just as we got ready for the show.
It looks like he signed. He accepted. That's what it was.
The story right now as we know it again it's
a little after two pm out here on the West Side.

(06:16):
Is that Nate Diaz accepted the offer I didn't know
there was a legitimate offer on the table because there
were so many names involved in trying to fill the
replacement here now, But you know what it is, You know,
it's when I have a hard time really buying in
when the person just doesn't it lacks relevance, like when

(06:36):
Nate Diaz was in his prime. That's a really interesting
time to transition to boxing and see if he's got it.
But he's a You see a fighter, and you think
that the casual fight fan knew who Gervante Davis was
casual fight fani.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
But he's a legitim Nate Diaz.

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Is a is a more exciting draw as far as
name recognition.

Speaker 5 (06:56):
It was the two.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
Thousands and you were wearing an Affliction T shirt, all right,
But hey, you heard rich by and want I want
to know?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
That's rich Davis talking smack about Nate Dia as irrelevant
as could be.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I'm here saying that I thought he battled stronger than
I had expected the first time, and I thought we
got a pretty decent fight out of it the first time.
I'll take the rematch, But I who would I like
to see the most? Ryan Garcia? But Ryan Garcia is
a legitimate fighter, dude. That's like it's anyone would take
the payday, but it's beneath him at this point, and
it's beneath of Francis and Ghana, and in fact, Francis

(07:29):
and ghan who said I feel disrespected. Everybody you know
wants the money. I get it, but this is a
perfect fight for a Nate da Well, you have to
give an analogy that you might understand, being that you're
a Jersey guy. Sure, back in the two thousands, when
you and I first started working together, late two thousands,
I remember a big get on our show, believe it

(07:51):
or not, was the cast of the Jersey Shore.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well yeah, around that time, but they like the Beatles.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
It was like when we had Snooky in the situation
and Paulie being all those guys on our show. Hey
it's your boy BOWLDI date and you're listening to Cavino
and Rich Oh yeah, caves are here. But I remember
it being a big deal, like, wow, Snooky, we got
that's a good get. Now I remember, like a decade later, like, yo, guys,

(08:18):
we got some talent availabilities here?

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Do you guys want Jaywow? And I was like, no,
that's me.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
That's how I feel about Nate Diaz fighting Jake Paul.
I think you're talking about a well respected fan favorite
of the UFC. Honestly, I feel like you you missed
the boat on his popularity or something or he.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
No I did in ahead.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
He's the JAD, He's the Kevin feedderline.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
Give me keep naming. I think you're forgetting like the resume.

Speaker 1 (08:49):
This guy was always a draw, a UFC draw, and
you know it's not his first time putting on boxing gloves,
so your thoughts. The only thing Nathias is power, but
he still has the fight. Don't underestimate his competitiveness. And
he's a little older now, he's forty, but he's not

(09:09):
done by any means.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
He's forty.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
You know, as I say, he calls twenty eight again
for the record, this is the update. It looks like
it's happening. He accepted, and it's the one that makes
the most sense because it's worthy of a rematch. I
think nath Diaz deserved the rematch. He already talked a
lot of smack. He said something along the lines if
it were to happen, that he was going to dominate
and destroy it. No what is he supposed to say.

(09:31):
But he's not that kind of guy. He's kind of
a laid back dude. I think he wants his revenge
inist fight Dan Buyer. As I say before every big fight,
you know the slogan before every big fight, btnro better
better than nothing? All right, So and listen, I agree
with the sentiment of better than nothing. Beauimanu's right.

Speaker 2 (09:48):
We are.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
We are doing like a guy's weekend with some of
our buds, and Friday night we planned on getting a
nice dinner and watching the Jake Paul Tank Davis fight.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
That was part of the plan. So I guess this
is better than nothing.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
But that's like, yeah, and the guys we were with,
none of them know who Tank Davis is.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I'm a boxing fan, so of course I know who
Tank Davis is. And I know there's a lot of
people that do, right, But as far as like the
casual fan, much more people are gonna know Nate Diaz
from his UFC fame but David. But there was at
least an angle with the Tank Tank Davis that was
a circus fight. He weighs one hundred and thirty five pounds.
Thank you for saying that because that was the point,
the point of the Jake Paul Tank Davis fight and

(10:27):
Danny g you'll back me up? Is well, could one
of the best pound for pound little guys compete with
Jake Paul, who's way bigger but not necessarily a boxing pettigrier.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
When that was first announced, you guys argued about it
on the air, for it.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Made it interesting. It doesn't mean it's going to be
a better fight. For all we know, we're gonna get
a much better battle with Nate Diaz.

Speaker 2 (10:47):
The guy's tough. Rich is the guy.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I want everyone to know that Rich is the guy
downplaying Nate DZ right now. And I want Nick his
brother to come here and kick yours. So anyway eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (10:59):
You're stack California. It's gonna come after you.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, exactly, you're talking like a lot of smack about
the wrong guy. So A seven seven ninety nine on Fox.
Your thoughts on.

Speaker 2 (11:09):
You, said Nate DS.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I'm sorry, I think, said Edwin DS, who just decided
to backstand my Mets and opt for a free agency.
I'm sorry, Oh Diaz, I'm gonna end up a Dodger.
So your thoughts on this because it is the late
breaking story. As we get into the studio here on
this hump day, Covino and Rich Nate Dz accepted the fight.
Is it official? We'll let you know who it is,

(11:31):
but it seems to be. But in the w all
the fighting, you never know until you see it. All right, Well,
hey CNR on FSR. Now, one other note before you
move on. We're gonna get to some NFL. I know
there's a mad dog Russo clip we got to make
fun of a little bit. Because get all mad about stuff.
You don't need to get mad at you if you
feel like your parents like, because he's rather our parents' age,

(11:51):
your parents get mad about it to just cranky about
everything everything.

Speaker 2 (11:55):
Absolutely, it's just this happens with time.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
Tell me that your dad, if there's a ten minute
wait at the he's like, yeah, I'm leaving, he doesn't
wait ten minutes, he doesn't wait. And they love to complain,
but that's okay. I mean you, as as their child,
that's your job to listen.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
And you know, one day we'll be there.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
We'll be the old guy complaining so uh Med Doug
Grusso complaining about something to do with the Dodgers. We'll
get to that. We'll get to some NFL. But Danny
G real quick. You sent us the stats and they're remarkable.
Anyone that doubted baseball, I know, we've been harping on
it for the last months, like Baseball's pop and it's back.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
It's great. And for the non baseball.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
Fans, mon, do you guys started out in July.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
I mean, we've all but we're big baseball guys. So
my instinct told me, I was everyone's watching this and
Game seven of the twenty twenty five World Series, get this,
Get this average fifty one million viewers combined across the US, Canada,
and Japan, making the thrilling, eleven inning game the most

(12:58):
watched baseball game in thirty four years since Game seven
of the nineteen ninety one World Series. And they had
to have enjoyed that show, man, like you can't ask
for a better game. Everybody tuned in and they watched
something great. And I'm so happy to be the show that.

(13:20):
Oh we're not the only show. Got to give props
to MLB bro Ron Parker, but that always talks about baseball,
and we're telling you what a great game it is,
and we tell our friends, man, you're sleeping on baseball.
And we saw the come up and rise of these teams.
So happy to be part of it. I'm not surprised.
I'm really not. It was a great season and a
perfect ending for a great season. So props to baseball.

(13:42):
Let's take two quick phone calls on the Me, Me
Me the Ross. That's Natanon Diez Jacob Wall for the record,
though in the first fight, they both came in at
one eighty five. It was about two years ago, one
eighty five cruiserweight fight, and Paul won by unanimous decision
in ten rounds ninety I don't know. The scorecards were

(14:02):
way different than what I saw. I was like ninety eight,
ninety one, ninety seven, ninety two. Oh. I thought it
was a closer fight because toward the end, Diaz was
really stepping up, showing a lot of hard you don't
remember that the whole fight, and Adz had nothing, and
then at the end he started to get a little
flashy and get a little wild, and there were like
maybe two glimpses of him like trying things. It was
the weakest ass fight, and I don't know how anyone

(14:24):
could be excited for this. It'd be like going to
a restaurant that's stunk, You got diarrhea, you hated it
going down, you hated everything about it, and then your
friend's like, let's go back to that restaurant.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
What are you gonna say?

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I feel that way about Pachiao Mainweather because there's talks
about them fighting again. It's like, does anyone want to
see this? But you're still going to tune in so anyway,
there's pretty flights that you watch right and the and
you see our buddy Ariel Hawane or any give Acenbroock
some Procke and Barck love those guys and Hall of

(14:57):
Famer worked with the DESPN. I know what are you talking about?
Brian Custer, uh soon? Ber Ernie, Bernie A sooner, Bernie
A soon? Of course, I love Bernie. When when we
when we see those guys doing a post fight interview
and the sentiment is like, Yo, we're gonna try to
you guys gonna try to run it back.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
There's plenty of times where you're like, yeah, that would
be great.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
I would love to see this fight again, said no
one after the Nate Diaz, Jake Paul And that's why
I find it interesting. Well, Bernardo Asuna deserves a proper
shout out. He's one of the best. But what's your
analysis when it comes to this fight? Guys, we'll take
your phone calls now and we'll move on and talk
some some NFL.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
Pete in Vegas. What's up, Pete?

Speaker 6 (15:39):
Gentlemen, how are you today?

Speaker 2 (15:40):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (15:41):
Buddy?

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Did you hear what Rich called Nate Diaz the Kevin
fetterline of M M A.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
First of all, I'm afraid to even answer the fact
that I know it wasn't even the person he said
of a damn Britney spears that she was. He was married, dude.
The fact that I know that scares me. But guys,
he must be. It's crazy. All those nights out, I
was watching the fight and I'm getting ready to go
cashing a giant ticket only to see Ny Diaz with

(16:08):
one eye, one arm, and one foot get off the
tarp and knock the holy Bazooka out of the guy
and win the fight. That's what he does.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, he got her.

Speaker 6 (16:17):
He lets him kick their butt so he could come
back and knock him out.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
That doesn't I hope we get something, but I feel
like we're gonna be severe. That last fight, by the way,
was August fifth, twenty twenty three, sold four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars pay per view byes and it generated
twenty seven million in revenue, so at three point one
from ticket sales. So of course they're going to run
it back if they have the chance. And the story

(16:42):
now is he has accepted.

Speaker 2 (16:45):
So who else? We got? Trip in Vegas? Hey, trip?
What's up?

Speaker 7 (16:49):
Hey guys? Because Cavino, You're gonna love this. I'm sitting
here waiting to go to my barbershop. All hispanic except
for me. The question I have in Danny g laughing
because he let me through on this, As I told him,
when y'all go to San Francisco, are y'all going to
be in like a hamster cage or are you going
to get your own rooms? That goes way back for

(17:11):
many years on that conversation.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
We are going to Arizona, Yeah, to watch Phoenix in
Phoenix and you know Rich Night true story. Probably sharing
a room.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
Well, no, it's an airbnb.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Oh so we're not. It's an airbnb, but we've shared
rooms before.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
You know what. I'm very shared last year in Miami.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Yeah, I mean it's an airbnb with like you know, oh,
we don't look at each other's junk.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
We found out on yesterday showed that your partners.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Let's say hi to Justin in Fargo. What's up Justin?

Speaker 8 (17:48):
Hey, buddy, Hey, I just want to weigh on a
Game seven of the World Series.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
I've listened to a lot of the.

Speaker 8 (17:53):
Networks in the postgame coverage and I haven't heard anyone
say anything about on the Dodgers on defense didn't have
not one clean inning there is. Blue just had traffic
on every inning of the game, which makes the win
more uh more impressive to me. I just wonder what
you guys thoughts on that was.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
My thoughts are simple, man. I know I'm not saying
that the Blue Jays were the better team they lost,
but there was something about them that felt.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
That way to me.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
And when I got from the Dodgers is regardless of
the fight of the Blue Jays, they know how to
win and they were able to pull that off.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
They just know how to win.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
You just yeah, they got on and they fought, but
the Blue Jays, but the Dodgers knew how to get
out of it. I just think that the you have
to give the Blue Jays equal credit though as far
as providing excitement, excite fight. The ratings, the ratings weren't
huge just because it was the Dodgers. The ratings were
huge because it was the Dodgers versus a gritty, heart
filled Blue Jays team that took a Dodgers team that

(18:54):
everyone expected to really just win easily to the brink
to extra innings in Game seven.

Speaker 5 (18:59):
So I think, I don't I even think Dodger fans,
though Rich thought that was going to be an easy
World Series, not with the bullpens struggler. The battery were
cold even against the Brewers. The Dodgers bats.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
But very true.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Yeah, but according to Las Vegas they were two to one.
They were it was like minus two.

Speaker 5 (19:13):
Thirty to one hundreds Vegas. Though the Blue Jays were
the number one seed, the Dodgers were not, you know,
one hundred percent as far as their bats, and definitely
not with they're pitching. So uh, I was nervous going
into that World Series. I wasn't puffing out my chest like, oh,
We're gonna sweep this Blue Jays team.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
I think there's an intangible there though, that was so
evident with the Dodgers, and I think anyone that knows
sports or even plays for fun knows what I'm talking about.
You might not be the most aggressive, might not be
the most flashy, Like you just know.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
How to win.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
And the Dodgers have that on top of being flashy
and everything else. They just know how to win. And
we're able to do that. And that's what we witnessed
and it was awesome. Yeah, justin in Fargo, thank you,
thank you for the call. We're going to get to
the rest of your phone calls. Nate Diaz, Jake Paul.
Looks like a rematch is happening November fourteenth, because Tank

(20:05):
Davis is an a hole. That's why I have a question.
If you could pick someone at Fox Sports Radio that
you think could do the Worm as good as Freddy Freeman,
who do you think it is. That's a good question
because who would have thought Freddy Freeman could do the
worm the way he did the Worm? I mean, Doug's

(20:25):
a pretty athletic guy. He's still coaching college hoops and
he's a you know, in shape, is Doug? The answer
is it?

Speaker 9 (20:30):
You?

Speaker 1 (20:30):
No? Because I think Casey Rob Parker, because the worm
doesn't mean that you could dance necessarily. It's just that
you could do the worm. Maybe someone like Jay Stu,
like someone unexpect.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
You think Jay Stue could do the worm?

Speaker 5 (20:43):
That's right, I got. In fact, I've perfected it for
minute years.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I thought the the worm in high school, junior high,
throughout my whole career, Big Sexy Ryan the worm, I
don't know. I don't think it's in Mike can though.
Do you make Big Mike damp By.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Thirty five years ago?

Speaker 5 (21:01):
You idiots?

Speaker 1 (21:03):
It's so funny though, because if you don't know what
Rich is talking about. Freddie Freeman just did the most
perfect worm. It's like it was really good. Would have
never expected that he was able to pull that off.
That doesn't mean the guy's like a great dancer. Doesn't
mean he's gonna be an electric bugoloo three. Now you
got to ask yourself though, if put to the test,

(21:25):
because you had to, you think you could.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
No, it's a skill, it's something.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Yeah, it's something you've practiced it, But you know, think
your body can move that way? Like your agile guy.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
I can't do it. You're not some ten and three
fourth stanks.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
But yeah, no, I can't do it. I was trying
to be generous. I just know I can't. I think
you're five to eight. No, nope, Kyler Murray, can you
do it?

Speaker 10 (21:47):
Or no?

Speaker 4 (21:48):
I think Freddy Freeman's height, so I think we got
to look at someone who's who's tall, maybe slender, So
I don't mind the Rob Parker.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
I got it.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
I went, yeah, Isaac, I think would be good. I think, yeah,
there you go.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yo.

Speaker 1 (22:05):
If Steve, if Steve the Sager just bust out the worm,
I just may walk out. And they were coming back.
It's not tall enough though. It's less of a dance move,
more of like a party trick. But I wonder like
and to right, we want to harp on the worm.
But I guarantee we've all been to a wedding, an event,
to party where the unassuming person does the worm.

Speaker 2 (22:23):
It's I don't know who could be.

Speaker 1 (22:25):
He did a great job. It was pretty wild. I
couldn't believe it. I was like, is this real? I
think it was Ai?

Speaker 2 (22:29):
Is this Ai? Let's going on?

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Man?

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Freddie Freeman got the move? You think LeVar could do
the wormy? He's an elite athlete. I don't know. I
don't know, you know what we'll think about it.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
We got a lot of phone calls coming in at
eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, some about Nate
Diaz and some about the NFL, some about the MLB.
But uh, let's go to Dan Byer. Speaking of Dan Byer,
let's say hello for an update.

Speaker 4 (22:52):
Hey, guys, I got a bunch of NFL news, but
literally just coming in seconds ago. Jimmy Butler's out tonight
for the Warriors against Sacramento. Another end news, no Austin
Reeves tonight for the Lakers is they take on the
Spurs and jess and Or Walker Kestler is going to
miss the rest of the year because of a left
shoulder injury. I know maybe some people playing daily fantasy
you want to get their lineups in. That's what we've

(23:13):
got tonight. Looking ahead to Week ten in the NFL, guys,
there will be no CJ. Stroud for the Houston Texans,
ruled out because of a concussion suffered in Week nine.
So Davis Mills start for the starts for the Texans
in their matchup against the Jaguars. The Cardinals are placing
quarterback Kyler Murray on injured reserve with his foot injury.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Right now, what he's going to concentrate on is getting healthy,
and he's not healthy enough to play, and he's to
get healthy so he can get back to playing football.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
That said coach Jonathan Gannon. So Jacoby Brissett, who's going
to start against the Seahawks in Week ten, would be
in line to start the three other games following that,
as Murray will miss an additional four games because of
the ir placement for the Hall of Fame.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Back to you, guys, thank you, Dan Bill Belichick. He
could do the worm. He could do the worm.

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Imagine, onto the worm, onto the This whole Brissette story,
the Kyler Murray story, reeks of me. It reeks to
me like it's a cover up of sorts, And that's
sort of speculation that's all over social media today. That's
the big stories like is he really that hurt? Or
is Brissett just better and he started better now and
starting for the team. Like we feel like there's the

(24:20):
truth and the spin. Like it feels to me rich.
Like when when I was getting a divorce, I didn't
want to tell my daughter I was moving out, so
I told her, Oh, I just had a that has
to be closer to work for a while, and I
feel like they don't want to tell us that Kyler
Murray's not starting.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's his foot injury.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Like I feel like they we're not getting the full
truth out of that story yet, or maybe his foot
really is that bad. But that's the vibe I'm getting,
like we're not getting the true, real story yet. Well,
I'll tell you what you are getting the true story though.
In San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan and John lynch Ad made
it very clear that it's brock Perty's team and when
he is ready to go, well, Mac Jones even said that, yeah,

(24:58):
he's ready to go. This is not a well let's
take our time with Purdy because mac Jones has been
a quality backup. They're saying, if party could go in
any capacity, he will play. There's no like, well, let's
let's stick with mac Jones while Purdy's nursing his injury.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
If brock Purty has a chance to play, he'll play. Okay.

Speaker 1 (25:16):
So there's a lot of phone calls about a lot
of different things. Eight ninety nine on Fox. Let's go
through it, uh Swifty and Vermont, what's.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Up, Buddy?

Speaker 11 (25:27):
Hey, guys, how's it going.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
What's up?

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Man?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
We're good.

Speaker 11 (25:29):
So I'm calling about Game six, the controversy that was
never called and an interference call that was never called
on Mookie Bets's shot that scored to Chopeo Tani comes
in first and as the Toronto pitcher is backing up
the catcher, he's boxing them out like a basketball player.

Speaker 2 (25:50):
Yeah, that was wild.

Speaker 11 (25:51):
Never called.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
Man, that was a good one.

Speaker 12 (25:53):
That was it.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Did you see that play?

Speaker 5 (25:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:55):
Of all the players, Toni boxed them.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
I mean, I think because it could be left for
interpretation of like was he really trying to box him
out or was he just there and he just collided.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
I don't know. That was interesting.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
It showed a little bit of a It showed me
a different side of show.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
Hey, like he's doing he's going to do anything here.

Speaker 1 (26:14):
All right, let's say hi to Mike, who wants to
talk a little. Nate, Diaz and Fresno, what's up?

Speaker 6 (26:20):
What's up?

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Fellas? Always enjoy the show and enjoy listening.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Thanks.

Speaker 6 (26:25):
First off, Nate, you know it's not like he's mega rich,
so uh, you know it is a payday for him.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
Yeah, And the thing about Nat is.

Speaker 11 (26:33):
He's always entertaining and he's always going to bring it and.

Speaker 2 (26:35):
I love his swag. Man talk to you guys later,
you know. All right.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
So not that I'm scared that Nathane is going to
come get me, but I do find him entertaining.

Speaker 2 (26:43):
I just think anyone.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
That, yeah it is then you call him the fetter
line of the UFC. I mean, Federlands are talented, but no, no,
I'm just saying Nathanez is entertaining as hell. I just
think that anyone that is going to watch a Jake
Paul fight it is looking for like a oh, what's
the hook? We already saw this and it didn't end

(27:06):
up great. It wasn't like this epic fight that you
needed to run back, you know, like if you told
me Ryan Garcia, the young, handsome Ryan Garcia, who Yeah,
but Ryan Garcia is of a different pedigree of fighter,
you know, like maybe he doesn't want to be part
of that circus act. Well, you know what all I'm
saying is that Jake Paul is going to beat Nate
Diaz and it'll go the distance. There'll be a moment

(27:28):
where Nate Diez is tough and takes some punches and
the crowd's like.

Speaker 2 (27:32):
Yeah, you're the man Naz.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
Remember before Gervante accepted this fighting, he was already talking
about retirement all you know. It takes away a little
bit of your legitimacy when you're fighting.

Speaker 4 (27:41):
Jake Paul, by the way, what a magnificent call. Comes in,
gives your props, gives his take, says I'm gone see
you guys appreciate it. More like bang up job Fresno.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
If only everyone and I'm not, yeah it's not everybody else,
but like god boom boom boom, gone see it boom

(29:02):
for hanging out with us. You could watch the show
Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube stream Live.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
Chat live, pull up the chat man, I'll do it
right now. Let's chat it up.

Speaker 1 (29:11):
You're the chattiest guy going, Rich Davis Covino and Rich
FSR on YouTube. And speaking of Rich Blabermouth Davis, he's
so full of hot air and so full of himself
that when the Mets were doing well last year, he
changed our MLB season bet. I want to take you

(29:34):
back before we get too far past baseball, even though
there's still excitement in the air. Rich and I had
a bet who would have the better season this year?
The Mets are the Yankees. It was a thousand dollars bet.
We shook on it here in the studio December. We
made the bet in December before the season was popping.
Who was going to have the better season? The Mets

(29:54):
are the Yankees. And it was back and forth all
year until the very end when the Mets just continue.
If you remember, at one point I was I got
all cocky because the Mets maybe had like a four
game lead. And around that time, as part of the story,
when the Mets were doing well, Rich said he wanted
to change to bet, and I said, well, what is it.
He goes, no, we changed a bet when they were

(30:15):
dead even for every game over, it's another one hundred dollars,
and we shook on that. The Yankees end up beating
the Mets as far as record, and they had eleven
more wins. That means I want a thousand dollars from
the original bet and eleven hundred dollars from the additional
bet that this guy brought upon himself.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
I didn't want to do it.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
I said sure, whatever, dude, because Rich is a gambling fool.
So that means Rich Davis here owes me twenty one
hundred dollars. And we've never resolved this. In the form
of ninety four and sixty eight for the Yankees and
the Mets, were eighty three and seventy. So I want
my big giant check now. I want to like an
Ed McMahon sort of giant check presented to me.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
That's what I want. I want my thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
But because I'm a nice guy, I don't want the
full twenty one hundred.

Speaker 2 (31:08):
I'm willing to make a deal, like.

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Deal or no deal, like call the guy upstairs, like hey, yeah,
I'm gonna call the banker and make a deal with you.
And I already threw it out there, but Rich short
of ignored it. And if you missed it, my deal
was this, and this was before the World Series. I said, Rich,
you just got your patio done. Life out here in
La is expensive. I'm not gonna make my good buddy,
my co host, give me twenty one hundred dollars because

(31:32):
he was a big mouth who decided to raise the stakes.
It's being too nice. Just give me the thousand dollars.
That was the original betk and throw in that show. Hayo,
tany rookie card you got although this special and Danny
got me like when we first met, and I said
that before the World Series.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
I said that before any MVP.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Even though we knew he probably had it again this year,
and I got no response. I got crickets. So are
we gonna resolve this? What do you think, Fox Sports
Radio Nation, you think that's a fair sort of deal.
That's very, very kind. I want to forget called the banker.
Hold on, I'm gonna call the banker and say, you
know why because when Danny G. I gotta meet Danny G.

(32:11):
Understand what I'm getting that. Danny G was kind enough.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
To buy Rich Davis this Rookie card for what for Christmas?
One year?

Speaker 5 (32:18):
Danny it was his birthday.

Speaker 1 (32:20):
It was Rich's birthday early on in our show, and
Danny G's like, hey man, that's a gesture of kindness
and friendship and our journey together as a show. I
present you this birthday gift. And Rich opened it up
and it was an O Tani Rookie. When you gave
that rookie created old Tony with the jersey in it

(32:41):
and everything. When you gave that card the Rich my
heart sank because I was like, that should be for me.
So I've had my eyes on my car.

Speaker 12 (32:52):
Now.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
The only caveat was I'd be regifting essentially something Danny
gave me Bro, I'm giving you this is you either
give me that little piece of cardboard or eleven hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (33:02):
This is the baker. Yeah, this is stump up and
actually work. Could I press this?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Do you want to get feedback from the Fox Sports
Radio Nation first?

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Or should I say you know what? You You've waited
too long. I want to take twenty one hundred. I'm
taking the deal. This is not like the deal.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
This is not like shark take. You know when someone
will will ask for mister wonderful? All right, you waited.
I'm done.

Speaker 2 (33:20):
Deals off the table.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I want to know. We got to shake on it.
Is it a deal or no deal? I mean this,
You're very generous. I'm taking the deal. You're taking a deal.
I've taken your son's future old Tani rookie card. Are
you sure about that? Go?

Speaker 2 (33:37):
We documented come on. One thousand dollars plus the card.
I'll give you cash tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Until next season, Until next season, Bro, one hundred and
forty two days away. One hundred and forty one days away.
Generous dude, right generously. I appreciate you heard it here. First,
I could have twenty one hundred from this fool. That's kindness,
I'm willing to take that rookie and Danny g that's
not considered regifting.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
It's cool, it's hard of the deal man. It's kicking
myself because I could have sold that card for eleven
hundred dollars.

Speaker 9 (34:13):
Hey, you know, just look it up. That card's actually
worth sixty thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
He shook got it too bad? So all right, No,
Toddy's yours perfect. Listen, my goodness.

Speaker 1 (34:23):
When we made that bet the whole season, that was
anxiety written for me.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
Well, i'll tell you real quick, and your chance to
win it back next base let me tell you else.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
It's uh, there was a point where they were dead
even most of the year. When your team is on
a losing streak and you're betting on them every day, essentially,
it was miserable. But hey, what a great baseball season.
We got out of everything and we could officially close
the book, right, and your thoughts on that, Plus we
got to talk Haley Bailey and Matt Khalil and football
and more. We're gonna talk so hump day MLB. One

(34:58):
last MLB story before we turn page. Mad Dog russo
mad about something, so I just well, he's the Mad Dog.
I love Mad Dog, but I also love when Boomers
get mad and start screaming, would you clone your mad
Dog like Tom Brady. Hey, let me wrap up the
first hour. I want to wrap up the first hour
with a tiny bit of legitimac here, right, because the
rumor is that Nate Diaz accepted Jake Paul's offer to

(35:22):
fill in for a rematch fight November fourteenth, Right, Yeah,
there is, however, a legitimate fight. This weekend, Virgil Ortiz
and Ericson Lubin are fighting two junior middle eight top prospects.
Big Virgil Ortiz fan, he's dominant in one fifty four.
And that Christy Martin movie comes out this weekend with
Sidney Sweeney. So if you're a fight fan, just want

(35:43):
to remind you there.

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Also a Sidney Sweeney fan. And I saw that she
said that she would.

Speaker 1 (35:49):
She loved the idea of like just sparring or getting
in the saying she's ready for a fight right now. Yeah,
and I'll take her on anytime, no creepo. And we
finalized our bet. It was a season long, year long
bet Mets Yankees.

Speaker 2 (36:05):
There's a speedbag stroke in there something.

Speaker 1 (36:08):
Yeah, Rich Now owes me one thousand dollars because the
Yankees had a better record. We shook on it, and
I said, you owe me another eleven hundred because the
Yankees had eleven more wins. But I'll forget that if
you give me your Otani rookie. Rich shook on it,
so he saves eleven hundred bucks, but I get the
rookie card and just to wrap up that discussion, yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Get this. This is a story in the news today.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Yamamoto, your World Series MVP dominant, his best card ever
is still out there. It's been confirmed that the World
Series MVP's Rookie debut patch card autographed has not yet
been redeemed. So now there's like a scamper scammer, scamper scamper.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
There's a there's a hustle on a bustle.

Speaker 1 (36:58):
There's a bustle of collectors and fans all over the
world now hitting their local hobby shacks, in local card
shops because now they're like, we got to get our
hands on. It's like trying to find a lottery ticket
in a haystack, is really what it is.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Remember that guy, Do.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
You remember this story about the guy that had a
hard drive with like a billion dollars worth a bitcoin
on it, and he knew what junkyard it was in.

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, and he was.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
Like he never came out with it, but he spent
like resources and years just saying, listen, I'll pay whatever.
Dig through this trash yard because if you find this
hard drive, it has a billion dollars off. But this
is really interesting because even grown men like Danny G's
brother and friends and cousins, they're all like, yeah, on
my way home, I'm gonna stop, like like you're trying

(37:44):
to buy a lottery.

Speaker 5 (37:45):
Mega million sports version of the ball.

Speaker 1 (37:48):
So again, the mega millions today, by the way, I
believe is the highest it's been in this year. It's
a there's been no winter since June. So eight hundred
to a billion dollars from the Mega millions.

Speaker 2 (37:58):
We'll think about it.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
We all knew how grad he was and the potential
was there, but we all saw how great he is
in the World Series. Right the debut card. I don't
know if everybody's privy to what Tops has been doing.
They've been putting a rookie debut patch on anytime a
big leaguer makes his debut appearance. They then take that
patch that they wore one time and they put it

(38:19):
into a card autographed, so it's one of one. So
that's the patch he wore in his debut. That card
is still out there, and after that performance, you know,
the value of that car its skyrocketed. And now because
everyone knows this out there, the value skyrocket's even more. So.
It is like a sports version of a lottery ticket
that people are on the hunt for as we speak.

(38:39):
You ever dumb thought, and I know Cavinos had this
dumb thought knowing that the Yamamoto card is out there somewhere. Yeah,
you ever lose something and you wonder like if I
could GPS it? Like you ever leave like a hat
at a hotel or a shirt somewhere. Like you'll see
an old shirt in a picture and you're like, what
happened to that shirt? I know when you went through

(39:01):
your divorce. I see pictures all the time and I'm like,
what happened with that check? Kina went through his divorce.
After the divorce, I just never got back, he claims it.
There's like his favorite guitar, Yeah gone. His ex wife's
like I don't have it, Well, I don't have it.
There was a tacamine beautiful acoustic electric guitar. I saved
all my college money when I had no money, my

(39:21):
Bennigan's money to buy this guitar and never saw it again.
So essentially, what we're saying, Denny, before we move on,
we're saying that somewhere out there in the United States,
maybe even another country, five goes west, there's a pack
of unopened Tops cards that just has this probably million
dollar plus easy one of one Yama mode.

Speaker 2 (39:42):
It could be sitting at.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
A hobby shop in Mississippi, Texas, California, New York. There's
just one card just sitting somewhere. Yeah, never opened, So
we'll keep you posted on that. It's wild, right, I
can't wait to collect.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
On my after not after tonight, I'm going to that
van I shop where I got the.

Speaker 2 (40:00):
Funny because everybody has that little dream.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
Now this this is an overplaced place, and uh in
my neck of the woods, but it is a cal
Vasis Commons dandy does that. It's like cards and coffee,
like twenty dollars one pack.

Speaker 2 (40:11):
Hey, you never know, you guys have talked about it.

Speaker 4 (40:13):
I think the the mcmillions, the McDonald's Monopoly game and
how that was such a you know, fraud. The the
card thing is a real deal because, as you guys say,
you kind of need to like keep that card out there. Recently,
I think it was Tops Basketball had a release and
there was a Cooper flag card and within the first
day it was real it was pulled. So the so

(40:36):
the drama following it is now lost. So if you're
the company, like maybe you'll hold it back from the
packs for a week, you know, and how to do it,
like I ate a little bit because it would kind
of ruin everything, and if all of a sudden twenty
four hours later, like the card was already found. This
adds so much mystery and drama to it.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
Do you remember when they had the Paul Skins version
of this, Yes, and the Pirates offered some week ass
package if someone found it, and it was not weak
as the Pittsburgh but it was like if you pull
the Paul Schimes one of one, you get like a
year of Pirates season tickets and this and that everything,
And it's like, unless you're a Pirates fan, like yeah,

(41:15):
no thanks. Even if you are a Pirates fan, yes,
all this stuff added to the excitement of this magical
baseball season that we keep talking about. I think we
saw a boom in the star power of all these
cards and collectibles and patches and rookie debuts and things
like that.

Speaker 2 (41:32):
I think it just added to the whole thing.

Speaker 1 (41:34):
So props to Tops, and again Cavino and Rich getting
ready for Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom.

Speaker 2 (41:41):
Can you find out one thing for me, Danny, as
read before we move on? Are is this card?

Speaker 1 (41:46):
Would it be in your regular Tops baseball pack or
is it a special type of thing?

Speaker 5 (41:51):
Yeah, that's a good question, because there are some Tops
top tier packs.

Speaker 1 (41:54):
Yeah, only because like the cards I buy for the
kids on my pony ball team, they like, you know,
like a box of cards is twenty five bucks and
is like it's your regular like Tops. Well, the card itself,
I don't know what pack it comes in. We'll have
Danny look that up. But the card itself is a
Top certified autograph issue, authentic game worn patch card. Damn
made his MLB debut March twenty first, twenty twenty four,

(42:17):
so again one of one because this is the patch
he wore in his debut.

Speaker 12 (42:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:21):
So Rich's point, like, not all inserts are placed in
all packs. Like there's hobby packs, there's blaster boxes, there's
a whole different array. And if you're not picking the
right one, you're not even able to start because you're
picking the wrong pack.

Speaker 5 (42:35):
And check this out. This is what TOPS is doing,
it says. Yamamoto's debut patch card remains in the possession
of TOPS, which confirmed to The Athletic that no one
has submitted the redemption code to receive the Yamamoto card
as of Sunday. TOPS produces a redemption card bearing a
special code that goes into a TOPS pack instead of
the debut patch card itself, in an effort to keep

(42:57):
the unique and valuable cards in top condition.

Speaker 1 (43:00):
You know, Ken Golden sitting somewhere waiting to get his
grimy hands on this. Put it in Golden Collectible.

Speaker 5 (43:06):
This so a kid doesn't, like, you know, bend the corners, yea.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
And so somebody's not sitting at a target weighing packs
of cards. Have you seen that, Like, like you'll go
in and you'll they'll have a scale, they'll weigh it
if it's a Jersey patch because the weight of the
pack is different. I'm the littlest amount right, Yes, I bought.
I bought a pack of cards yesterday for my son.
We were at the store, so let's just go get
some football cards. And they were locked up behind and

(43:32):
usually they'd let you pick, and the worker instead of
grabbing the first one, like grab the fifth one. And
I thought to myself, why would you grab the fifth one?
And onn't you just grab the first one? So I'm
thinking to myself that, yeah, that maybe they kind of
have waited. Not I didn't care. It was just for
having to see the players and cards and whatever. It
was seven bucks, but I was just like, that's you know,

(43:55):
that's it felt a little shady.

Speaker 2 (43:57):
It is shady and weird.

Speaker 1 (43:58):
But you know what, when I hear that story, Dan,
it just reconfirms the excitement and it makes me happy
that kids are able to be excited about this stuff
the same way we were when we were growing up.
It's pack can you get the Austin Wells with the
mustache clippings? I got his actual mustache clippings this year, guys.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
I was so pumped about it.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
All right now we have a crazy story about two
and a half coke cans more than what you're seeing
here on our YouTube page. Yeah, two and a half
Covino and rich FSR two and a half of those.
We have a story that involves two and a half cocains.
What does it mean we'll explain. But before we do that,
we have to give away prizes with Mike's Wednesday words

(44:37):
of wisdom.

Speaker 2 (44:40):
It's time for the guy that runs this place.

Speaker 4 (44:43):
Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

Speaker 5 (44:47):
He is not in charge of everything. He has no
power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

Speaker 2 (44:53):
It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. There
he is Big Mic. This is sexy. Ryan has to
put the flute down, and you want to turn them on.
Here's here's two and a half cocaines.

Speaker 12 (45:09):
Okay, here we go. Oh everybody, in honor of the
ending of baseball season, my words of wisdom, Oh baseball related.
Umpires don't make bad calls. It's just that reality disagrees
with them.

Speaker 2 (45:27):
Oh wow, that was deep.

Speaker 3 (45:30):
Mike.

Speaker 12 (45:31):
I like, I like, I think we need that one
last time, one more time for the cheap seats. Umpires
don't make bad calls, it's just that reality disagrees with them.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
If you could repeat that verbatim, which means word for
word Fox Sports. Right, Yeah, yeah, you win a CNR
Turbo ball, our brand new, new and improved Nerve football.
So even if you won last year is a different one.

Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 2 (46:07):
Thank you, Mike.

Speaker 1 (46:08):
I feel wiser just sitting in your present presence all
the time. You know that that's understanding. Yeah, thank you.
Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom. We do it every Wednesday.
Plus we got midweek major coming up. But rich while
we get our phone calls going, Danny G's on the
case there, I'm gonna leave this Hailey Bailey story to you.
Uh well, you probably know Hally Belly. You're the runch

(46:30):
bag of the show. Yeah, that's what everybody calls you.
What people say, Yeah, well, Hally Bailly hot influencer. If
you don't know the name, I guarantee if you look
her up, you'd be like, oh, I've seen her. You've
definitely seen this. This woman on social media isn't to
my knowledge. Bree was telling me, Haley Bailey is an
SI Sports illustrated like bikini model and now influencer does

(46:53):
like funny video. She's comical on like TikTok and Instagram
an SI model. Yeah, but if you see her, you'll
be like, of course I know her. She you know,
covers events and she's out and about Haley Bailey. If
you're in the social media scene, even if you don't
know my name, I gotta see her treeks.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
Let me look her treeks. I don't know if that's
how you'd recognize her.

Speaker 1 (47:11):
She's she does like funny videos, but she intends to
hear a bikini you're in there anyway. She was on
a podcast and talked about her failed marriage to ex
husband and NFL player mat is It Kale Matt Khalil,
Mak Khalil. So, Matt Khalil, what happened? You couldn't read

(47:35):
your own handwriting?

Speaker 2 (47:35):
Yeah? I didn't.

Speaker 1 (47:36):
I did a coveno. Honestly, that happens to me all
the time. You're off the hook. Good night, San Diego,
keep it classy, uh, Matt Cahel. Now she talks about
the biggest factor. I say, Khill Khalil the biggest factor,

(47:58):
and by the way, is an offensive tackle for the Vikings. Yeah,
they're twenty twenty two divorced. The biggest factor was the
size of his junk. Just let that breathe for a second.
She said, we're trying to do the damn thing. Then, well,

(48:20):
let's just say I tried to put the work into
my marriage. Goes on to say, dead ass for our
whole marriage.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
I tried, We tried, we went to a therapist, the doctor.
I'm not even lying. I looked up things I could do.
She goes on to.

Speaker 1 (48:38):
Say the thirty three year old model about her ex husband,
that she has love for him and that they are
homies to this day, even though that they are divorced,
that he is of the point zero one percent of
the population, and described what he has in his pantalones
as two and a half cokecits.

Speaker 2 (49:01):
I don't know how to reactive it.

Speaker 1 (49:02):
I bring this up because the comments are wild, because
the comments are from social media users saying, but this
is like great press for the guy, right, well that
it's said that they got divorced and all, but like
talk about great pr Well, what I find funny is
that the comments on social media are people saying like,
oh my god, how disrespectful. What a breach of trust
and disrespect. You were married to this person. How can

(49:24):
you say such things? And they're all negative from women
like ew, I never expected her to say this. All
the comments are negative, and I'm thinking to myself, if
you're gonna be broken up, could this not be like
the most hilarious, Like, I mean, it's not silly, but
like this is like not the reason you'd be sad about.

Speaker 12 (49:43):
Right.

Speaker 1 (49:44):
It's like when people talk about Pete Davidson, Like remember
AFTERWI I was like, he's really hurting my feelings.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
I mean, he's gonna help your street credit.

Speaker 1 (49:50):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, But you know there's gonna be people
that just because of that. Now he has since happily
married and has a kid and everything. But I don't
think that's the worst rumor about you.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Trust me. Ex this can say a hell of a
lot worse about you.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
Well, now everybody's gonna look at the new woman and think, oh, well, okay, okay,
good for her.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
But if you're on our YouTube chat, he's a.

Speaker 1 (50:10):
Big dude, by the way, six foot six, easily three
hundred and something like two and a half, Like come on,
I mean, yeah, I don't even know say about it.

Speaker 12 (50:20):
Technically those are diet coke cans.

Speaker 1 (50:22):
But okay, yeah, well right, if you're ever gonna have
an X talk bad about you, let this be the
reason that.

Speaker 2 (50:29):
Might be the one.

Speaker 1 (50:30):
All Right, let's see if we could get a winner
for Mike's words of wisdom and uh let's start with
Andrew in Illinois. Andrew, are you there, buddy? All right,
repeat Mike's words of wisdom verbatim, and you win. The
coven On Rich coveted their football.

Speaker 7 (50:52):
All right. Umpires don't make bad calls. It's just reality
that you.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
No, no, no, sorry, he missed a word. Sorry about
that man.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
The flag was thrown JP in Northern California, JP, repeat
Mike's words wisdom, word for word.

Speaker 5 (51:15):
Okay, umpires don't make bad calls.

Speaker 7 (51:21):
It's just that reality disagrees with them.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
That's a winner. Yeah, that's pah.

Speaker 5 (51:29):
You do it.

Speaker 6 (51:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (51:31):
JP in Northern California. We're gonna mail you one of
these turbo balls.

Speaker 2 (51:38):
Thank you JP. Thank you JP.

Speaker 1 (51:40):
Northern California with the win, and we all feel wiser
as a result.

Speaker 2 (51:45):
Thank you JP.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
Thank you Mike, And again, every Wednesday, your chance to
get a little wiser and to win a nerve football
for you or great stocking stuffer for your little rugrat
at home. Of course, now, just to wrap up that
last story. Takes a lot to wrap up that last story.
I just think it's uh, it is well because when

(52:07):
you think of all the things that X could say
about you, yeah, oh, because it's usually the opposite.

Speaker 2 (52:12):
They trash talk all.

Speaker 1 (52:13):
Usually I'm a self centered son of a bee, I'm
a mama's boy.

Speaker 2 (52:17):
Yeah. I mean, these are all true things, but I
never want to hear them.

Speaker 5 (52:21):
Sounds personal.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Yeah, think about all the things a woman could say
about a guy. The reason for the divorce is that
it's just the guy's too well in doubt. That's like, like,
I just again, my I think the funny angle is
that all the comments on social media are like how
wrong it was for her to say all this? And
I think most guys would agree that, like, yeah, he's
not really mad about this. All right, And now it's time,

(52:47):
my friends, for something we do every Wednesday, mid Week Major.

Speaker 2 (52:50):
Let's go.

Speaker 10 (52:52):
Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the
week when mid Week Major Major. Oh, I love that
we throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at
the fellas and it's like the kids.

Speaker 2 (53:05):
Say, that's so we definitely major see in our scoring
midweek major.

Speaker 5 (53:12):
Oh it's for the Dodgers, all right. Before we hand
things over to the number one and only host, that's me,
we like to roll the two big red love dice
over there the main studio.

Speaker 2 (53:29):
Eight seven rituals. There we go, Hi caned.

Speaker 1 (53:38):
Oh nine, let's go.

Speaker 5 (53:41):
Who wins?

Speaker 2 (53:42):
I win?

Speaker 5 (53:44):
Lucky Rich? All right, he gets first take. And now,
ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom
from Scotch Plains New Jersey spotty Boy. Hey guys, he
how much time do I have?

Speaker 1 (53:57):
Like?

Speaker 2 (53:58):
Oh, wow, that's that's a lot.

Speaker 5 (53:59):
What am I gonna do that?

Speaker 2 (54:00):
Maybe about six six? Okay? Great?

Speaker 9 (54:04):
Well, we talked earlier in the show about the Jake
Paul Tank Davis soon to be what is it? It's
better than better than nothing, better than nothing with nath Diaz. Well,
you know, it would be a way better opponent and
get way more attention if Sidney Sweeney stepped into the ring. So,
as you know, Sidney Sweeney currently on her press tour.
You mentioned it earlier for the upcoming movie Christy, in

(54:25):
which she portrays boxer Christy Martin, and Sweety said that
while filming and training for the movie, she fell in
love with the sport and may want to actually step
in the ring for a real boxing match. So she
said that Martin is all is prepared to sign her
up for an actual fight if she was really serious
about it. So she's really alluding to the fact she's like,

(54:46):
you know what, look for the pay per view. I
don't know who my opponent will be, but I might
actually step in the ring. Sweeney says she went through
rigorous training for the movie and put on thirty five
pounds of muscle, so she says she can take a
punch and wouldn't quit midweek er major, that's.

Speaker 1 (55:02):
Mid I love Sidney Sweeney, I love I love most stories.
I love so many stories involving Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
But listen, you could take.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
A boxing cardio class now that you know how to
box a little bit because of this movie. What are
you gonna put your pretty face and reputation and art
on the line to get in the ring? As Rocky
Balboa said, that was like his only option, like you,
this is what I gotta do to So yeah, like
you know what, like, come on, you're not Jake Paul
Sidney Sweeney, I love you. And again there's a speedbag

(55:32):
joke in there somewhere. I just can't find it. I
just still can't find keep work shopping at Yeah, but no,
I think she's great, but stay out of the ring
to really box.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
Come on, why would you do that? Let it be known.
I'm a I'm a big fan. Yeah, I like Sidney Sweeney.
But this is a mid story.

Speaker 1 (55:49):
Mid story because, as the old saying goes, you don't
play boxing. You know, this is life or death. People
are fighting to get out of poverty, fighting for their lives.
This is a serious sports. So just because you learned
some moves, you learn the basics in a movie. I'm
not denying that she didn't get in great shape and
learned a lot, but you're not ready to really fight.

Speaker 2 (56:08):
You may think that you're really ready to fight, but
you're not.

Speaker 1 (56:10):
So stop, as Rob Park would say, stop it, Yeah,
stick with acting.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
All right. Dodgers on their victory tour this week. As
you know, of course, Partying NonStop made it a special
appearance on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night
of Dancing with the Stars, which I'm sure you watched this.
So manager Dave Roberts, along with Tyler Glass, now Will
Smith and Blake Snell, we're seen in the audience with
the World Series trophy in tow. Some people said they

(56:38):
looked a little bit out of their element, but that
could also be because they were partying NonStop since Saturday Nights.
When also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Keik a
Hernandez I know we talked about this story yesterday revealed
who that mystery butt was in the photo?

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Did you guys know to see this? It's that of.

Speaker 9 (56:54):
Picture Kirby Yates, which makes sense because it was a
Kirby tattoo.

Speaker 2 (57:00):
Right, so right, so what was the crux of this? Again?

Speaker 1 (57:09):
I don't like the main part they're out about about
you know it's it's mid again, because that's what happens
every World Series. The winning team goes out in about.
I do think Keyk is the star of the week.
I mean his personality is shining, uh dance with the stars.
I think more people disappointed that h Topeng is off
the show.

Speaker 2 (57:26):
Now why do you for me?

Speaker 12 (57:28):
And uh?

Speaker 1 (57:30):
Other than that, listen, man, I think uh watching the
World Series team go to all these talk shows. It
makes you feel good if you're a fan of that team.
Otherwise you really don't care. But when it's your team,
you love watching them. You do all right, you're just
babbling now. Now it's weak. It's weak on every level
because they all showed up for Dancing with the Stars,
but the guy who does the worm wasn't there. Freddie Freeman,

(57:53):
if you're gonna show up for Dancing with the Stars,
I want to see that dude in his flat top
do the worm.

Speaker 2 (57:58):
And we figured out who it is.

Speaker 1 (57:59):
By the way, editor Shay Here said he could absolutely
do the work perfectly. Oh that makes sense. So yeah,
if they're gonna show up, show up with the best.

Speaker 5 (58:08):
All right.

Speaker 9 (58:09):
Russell Wilson, we know for have being incredibly awkward. You've
seen his subway commercials. You know how he is when
he talks into camera. Well, now's your chance to have
mister Limited himself make some videos for you because he
is now available on cameo. So for the low price
of three hundred and thirty three dollars, you can now
get your own personalized message from the QB himself. So

(58:31):
when a video posted on the site, he said he's
wanted to do it for years, people have been asking
for it. He plans to release inspirational videos about faith, life, sports,
anything you guys need coming your way, Unlimited videos on
cameo Let's Go. He also said, don't be afraid to
get creative with your requests into that. I say, be
careful what you wish for. But the assumption is that

(58:51):
the cameo will feed his charity, why the Why Not
You Foundation, as I know, as many of his other
ventures have, But it doesn't say it's for charity, so
who knows. I got The reviews so far are positive
Midweeker major fut.

Speaker 1 (59:04):
I don't want to poop on all your stories, pop,
but it's mid That's fine because I just think there's
a lot of mid out there too, you know, doing
cameo woll bit a new. I do think it's cool
that he's giving the money to charity likely and doing
all that. I do think people should try to f
for them a little bit. I've seen there's a guy
on TikTok and Instagram that tries to find like I
guess you would say, like the Z level celebrities and

(59:25):
has them say some weird stuff.

Speaker 2 (59:27):
So maybe someone.

Speaker 1 (59:28):
Gets Russell to we oddly say some stuff. Who knows,
why not just do AI? Why I haven't hire him?
Just do a I know this. I wanted to completely
dump on the story, but when you said charity was involved,
you can now I have to say mid all right,
mid story. But I thought it was the weakest at first,
because Russell Wilson is well, he's a superstar, whether you

(59:49):
believe that or not, he really is a superstar of
the end of l polarizing former champion, and I feel
like cameo's beneath him. I feel like it's where real
celebrities go to die. Ceint cameo is where, like you're
at B level stuff. Cameos were like an nineties TV
star that you haven't heard on long time does like
a shout out exactly exactly. That's where who's Who's the

(01:00:10):
guy from Family Matters? Julia White? No, his his buddy,
the best friend, the best friends? Yeah, no, the best friend?
Oh he has a name that rhymes oh h was
it Waldo?

Speaker 2 (01:00:29):
Yeah? Because you want a cameo from Waldo Faldo? That
makes sense? All right, Russell Wilson, come on, alright.

Speaker 9 (01:00:35):
Quick, all right, Cavino before Rich hands over that show
hey Otani card, you might want to make him, make
sure he authenticates it, make sure it's real. That's exactly
what one Dodgers fan had to do with that. Remember
that home run ball with that Otani hit Game four
of the NLCS where it went center field into the
concession stands. Yeah, Well, Dodger fan Carlos Bendoza was sitting

(01:00:56):
there eating some nachos when he noticed the ball just
kind of bouncing there. He's looking at the TV at
no idea what was going on, jumped grab the ball, scraped.

Speaker 2 (01:01:02):
His knee but got it.

Speaker 9 (01:01:04):
But because it was outside of the you know, the
main area of the stadium, the authenticators couldn't authenticate the ball.
So in order for him to be able to put
the ball up for auction, he not only had to
go sign an affidavid, he had to have a polygraph
test taken to make sure that it was a real ball,
so that they did stamp it at the stadium to

(01:01:25):
make sure it was from that day. But because it
couldn't be seen, he had to jump through all these
hoops just to make sure. And good thing he did,
because the ball now listed with SEP auctions with the
starting bid of two hundred thousand dollars a midweek or major.

Speaker 2 (01:01:38):
I think it's major. I think it's it's wild that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
This guy has to take a line detect to test, Like,
did the ball bounce to you?

Speaker 2 (01:01:45):
For real? Sir? Beep, good one.

Speaker 9 (01:01:48):
It's wild, isn't it? Sure to clench your cheeks you
can pass the test. Yeah, yeah, I think it's majors.

Speaker 1 (01:01:53):
But I do because we'll all remember that home run
ball and I've seen photos online of the ball stamped
and dated and everything, and you know, I was wondering
how they would figure that out. So I'm glad you
cleared that up. But yeah, historic piece, and I think
it's going to go for.

Speaker 2 (01:02:08):
At least a million dollars. So yeah, that's major. Thank cost.
Thanks guys. Pot.

Speaker 1 (01:02:12):
Was that that picture of Kirby the picture of Kirby's
butt with key k Yeah, was he in the middle
of taking a live detective? It did look a little
tight then, yeah, maybe he did squat clench. You should
try legs at the gym some day.

Speaker 2 (01:02:23):
Yeah, right, that Kirby Yates. All right, let's go to
Dan Bayer for an update.

Speaker 12 (01:02:27):
dB.

Speaker 2 (01:02:27):
What's doing my friends?

Speaker 12 (01:02:30):
You know?

Speaker 4 (01:02:30):
Yesterday when Isaac Longcron was at this news desk, I
was in prior to you guys filling in on the
Doug Gottlieb Show. Isaac dropped when we were trying to
figure out who the player was, Isaac dropped Mookie Butts.

Speaker 5 (01:02:45):
I thought it was very good.

Speaker 2 (01:02:46):
It's a good job, Isaac.

Speaker 4 (01:02:49):
That is That is our Isaac again, a top five
candidate to do the worm here at Fox Sports Radio.
It was on a Cardinals place quartered by Kyler Murray
on injured reserve because of his foot injury. This was
head coach Jonathan an earlier today explaining the situation with Murray.

Speaker 3 (01:03:03):
Right now, what he's going to concentrate on is getting healthy.
He's not healthy enough to play. He needs to get healthy.

Speaker 1 (01:03:13):
Anyone that loves sports that listens to our show, or
Dan or Colin or any of the other fun shows
here at Fox Sports Radio or any network for that matter,
can we all simply agree, like there's no debate. People
have their favorite teams. We all grew up loving sports,
so we all grew up having teams that we rooted.

(01:03:35):
I mean there might be a sport where you're like,
you know, I have a favorite team except for the NBA.

Speaker 2 (01:03:39):
I just like players.

Speaker 1 (01:03:40):
Or you might be like Cavino who has a favorite
team but for football. He's like, football is the one sport.
I just like players like, but people have teams. Can
we all agree that that's not a wild sentiment, not a.

Speaker 2 (01:03:52):
Wild sentiment, not at all. I mean like you.

Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
In fact, if you ask me anyone I've ever met
my life, from schoolmates, in high school, college, neighbor. A
lot of times I identify people in my mind, sometimes
by their teams, Like I can't thank my neighbor. Don't
you associate even your grade school friends based on the
teams that they like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:09):
Dude, you can name if you name one of my buddies.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
One of the first ways I guess I mentally identify
them is like, oh yeah, you like, say the Dolphins
and the and the and the you know, the heat
or something, you know, like.

Speaker 5 (01:04:20):
I found a middle school yearbook recently in my garage
and a lot of the kids signed it go Lakers, Raiders, Dodgers,
because that's that's how they see you.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
That's how they see you, Like Danny g you bleed
the teams you love. That's what a sports fan does.
So I want to play a little clip of mad
Dog Russa before you get out of here. And again,
we love mad Dog. We worked with this guy for years.
He's hilarious, he's like unintentionally funny. He's a legend. He's
a sports broadcasting legend, and anyone that does sports talk
on TV or radio sort of deserves to give this

(01:04:50):
guy some props because mad Dog did pave the way.

Speaker 2 (01:04:53):
Take a listen to what he said, though, when.

Speaker 13 (01:04:55):
You're a national broadcaster and you're the voice of the
sport on a big stage, when you did a million
playoff games and then one of the crippling launches that
a franchise is gonna have, and I got shoe based
and the body's not even cold yet, and I got
show at Dodger Stadion doing the freaking Dodger Parade. I
got Joe Davis shaking everybody's hand. Give me a freak yo,

(01:05:15):
I'm shaking freaking Tani's hand, and he's freaking whacky getting rings.
That is you could say I'm being hard. That's ridiculous, Chris,
what's the big deal? Dusted games?

Speaker 2 (01:05:26):
Nonsense.

Speaker 13 (01:05:27):
He's the voice of the World Series. He's supposed to
be right.

Speaker 2 (01:05:30):
Down in the middle.

Speaker 13 (01:05:31):
Obviously, he's wood his ass off for the Dodgers in
the World Series, and everybody who I spoke to hated
the idea. They sensed he was jok The Dodgers bought
the World Series and has called the end was ridiculous.

Speaker 1 (01:05:42):
Now, I'm fluent and doggie because we worked with them,
actually shared a studio. If you can make sense of that.
What he's saying is that announcer Joe Davis was there,
the announcer of the broadcaster that we all watched call
the game. Joe Davis was there, and he's insinuating that
Joe Davis shouldn't have any sort of bias. And it
appears that he has a Dodgers one when he's at

(01:06:02):
the parade, so he has a gripe with that.

Speaker 5 (01:06:04):
Yeah, he was m seeing the event on stage. I
heard more complaints rich from Dodger fans during the World
Series because they hated hearing him hype up the Blue Jays.

Speaker 1 (01:06:14):
Listen again, everyone works for a team on a national level. Hey,
Ron Darling called the TBS games. Guess who he calls
during the season, The Mets. They're picking the best. The
Mets won the World Series, with the Mets. Yeah, so
like Joe Davis, I think is the best of the best.
You know, I love Gary Cohen for the Mets. There's
there's a seleck few that are top tier guys. Joe

(01:06:35):
Davis is one of them. Fox is lucky they had
him on the call. I think he's great, But his
day to day when he's not doing the National game
is the Dodgers. He has a relationship. It's there. He
has a relationship with the Dodgers and their fans. And
I think he called the very down the middle World Series.
And I don't what is Mett dog groups all talking about.
Let me tell you a quick story before you get
out of here. It's just bad optics, is what he's

(01:06:57):
saying as a broadcaster. And we always had this, I
don't know this, this belief and illusion that you had
to keep it down the middle, as if you're some
sort of sports roll. But it's weird, like not everyone's
Rob Low wearing an NFL hat, Like we have alliances
from your childhood until adulthood. I went to an All
Star game for Baseball one time, and I went to
pick up my credentials at the box office at the stadium,

(01:07:19):
at the will call and I had a Mets jersey
on it, and they're like, Sarah, you can't wear that
when you pick up your credentials, and I left.

Speaker 2 (01:07:27):
I thought they were joking, Like no, no, I had
to turn my jersey.

Speaker 1 (01:07:30):
I had to like take my jersey off just to
get my credentials because out that was biased.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
I'm like, yeah, but I'm a Mets fan. It's known.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
I'm not gonna pretend I'm not a Mets fang because
I'm here at the All Star Game.

Speaker 2 (01:07:40):
So I just passed that fascan or he passed this ILLEGI.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
It's like pretending wrestling, remember when you were a kid,
is like there were still the illusion to like, oh,
it's wrestling real, Like we all have sports teams we
root for. Get over it, Joe Davis, go Dodgers for you.
We'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, a riveadreci baby.
We will see you in the Promised Land.

Speaker 12 (01:07:59):
Good Bye,
