(01:28):
the world of sports or entertainment. Cavino sets the line.
If I were to say, I don't know, I'll give you.
I'll give you a little heads up. Let' say it's
how many baseball players could they name in thirty seconds?
All right, Well, you might say you're their dad. You
watch a lot of baseball. Rich is sort of like
a he's sort of militant with making sure his kids

(01:49):
But Cavino will pick a number you as the listener,
calling you guess over under. If you get it right,
you want a prize. It'll be a lot of fun.
We'll do that this hour. But I have a couple
of final thoughts. If it's with you on Edwin DS,
please start thinking about it. But first, every Olympic dream
starts with a first line. You learn to Skate USA kids,

(02:09):
even your kids rich build confidence, strength and joy on
the ice. Learned to Skate USA offers programs for skaters
of all ages and abilities. Find a program near you
at learn to Skate USA dot com. Again, we're Covino
and Rich Iowa. Sam is here Bosan for Danny g
Spotty Dan Byron. Thank you guys for playing along. What
are your final thoughts? You know how I know Dan
byers a good dad. He's a great dad. I know

(02:31):
he's a great guy. First of all, he's a great guy.
But he put Bluis on the TV for my kids
out there. That's a dad move, Dad, No, a dad
knows another dad move. So thank you, You're welcome. They
knew they wanted Disney and I knew all right eighty nine.
There you go. So my final thoughts on Diz I'm
a big Mets fan. Sam one last time before the
music discussed me because still it still doesn't bother me.

(02:55):
It will bother me starting tomorrow coming into Dodger Stadium. Bo,
You're gonna love it. You're a Dodger train. You're gonna
love the Timmy trumpet. You're gonna love ds. He is
an electric guy. You know what. It shows you, Rich though,
if you build it, they will come. We learned that
and feel the dreams. But I hate to quote the

(03:15):
great Rich Davis, but you did say it might have
been on our Patreon earlier, but you did say it
just proves you put a good product out there. People
want to be a part of it. People want to come.
It goes back to uh, just like the art of
charm and the art of dating. If you're having a
good time, people want to be a part of it.
That's the only like dating advice I thought was applicable

(03:38):
of those like you know, all those like you know.
I guess you would say, well, Neil Strauss, like like
the dating experts, if you're at a bar and you're
just having a fun time, people want to Women won't gravitate.
Told you they want to go to your fun People
want to know what the fund's about. That was true.
And you know what, I've done this as an experiment
just to joke around like Spot and I were drunk
and buzzing one day we just started laughing like it

(04:00):
up to see if people would catch on. And sure enough,
girls like, what's so funny? Guys, what's going on? What happened?
If you're having fun and the Dodgers are having fun,
they're winning, the fans are having fun. You know, superstars
are there. You want to be a superstar. You want
to be a part of it. You put out a
good product, people want to be a part of it.
And that's what's going on here. Man. You got great weather,

(04:21):
You've got a great team that competes. They have a
greater chance of winning because Edwin Diaz is there on
two and a row. Key Key's hilarious, ta Oscar seems
like a good dude. Freddy and Mookie and all the
second base hip flexers and show, Hey, why did you
not want to be part of that.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
It's also just more proof too that it's not all
about money, because Steve Cohen is just as wealthy as
the Dodgers. But you saw plenty of you know, Edwin
Diez's brother played for the Dodgers last year, and he
told him how much funny at here and how good
the development was, and Diaz was pissed at the Mets
fired the pitching coach out there. So it's it's it's
never always about money.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
And and and you know it's not. This was not
about money, no doubt. It's about lifestyle. And you see
what's going on out here, and then you see like
oh Yo, Sodo Lindor aren't getting along so great, and
the Mets seem like they're desperately trying to make moves
in Daz probably like, you know what, I'm just gonna
go live in the sunshine and and have a way
easier life. Well, testament to the team they've built, too,
because not only are they winning, they're winning with dudes

(05:17):
that are not hateable guys. They're really likable guys. And
that's coming from a Yankees fan. The Dodgers team is likable.
These our fun characters who wouldn't want to hang with them.
But my assessment has been made. Remember you asked me
last week what do you think of Devin Williams rich
on the Mets, And I said, wow, amazing If he's
the setup guy to Edwin Diaz. If you're replacing Edwin

(05:38):
Diaz with Devin Williams I think it's a bunk ass move.
And in fact, when you think of when you think
of the money, six years, signing, six million signing bonus. Well,
by the way, Edwin Diaz for the record, thirty one
years old and what three years sixty nine million? So
he'll be thirty four, So the Mets offered him sixty
six million. But keep on, I think the difference of talent.

(06:02):
You might say, no, Devin Williams, he's just had an
off year. But if if you're gonna offer a DS
three years sixty six, no, you gave Devin Williams three
years forty five and a six mil signing bonus, so
essentially fifty one, what's a better deal? Three years fifty
one for Williams or three years sixty nine sixty nine

(06:23):
for DS man Williams stinks. So I don't like his
h his confidence stink. I say that respectfully. I just
don't buy him in New York, you burch Big Michael,
the Dodgers fans, I promise you you're gonna love Edwin
Diaz on nights where you're just watching a game and
you're winning and you hear Timmy trumpets. It really is.
It's a vibe. It's a vibe. It's fun. Electric man,

(06:44):
it's gross, man gross, how likable and great the Dodgers are.
But they built something, and you know, you could hate
on it or you could just respect it. It's an
awful day. It's an awful day if you're a Mets fan.
And it's an awful day for Steve Cohen David Stearns,
who gets a reputation of being trying to get the
most out of the dollar. If it really was and
they didn't take account offer from the Mets. By the way,

(07:05):
the Mets put an offer, Dodgers put an offer. He
made a decision if you had more money to spend,
because the Mets said, we would have came back higher.
We should have came back higher to begin with. You
lose your closer to the one team. If there's a
team that the Mets outplay, if they ever want to
get there, because it wasn't again, like Bo said, it
wasn't about the money. If you lost edwin Diz, it's

(07:25):
about the culture, the winning and you know, hey, LA's
the weather's great, guys, it really is. I wouldn't want
to be back in New York. The only reason I'd
want to be back on the East Coast is because
my family's there. If you told me the Mets lost
Edwin Diz to the Baltimore Orioles because they gave him
five or six years, I'd say I get it. He
went after the money. Good move for him, right, But

(07:47):
it was a lateral money move, which means he wasn't
really that set on staying with the New York Mets.
No congrats to the Dodgers. It's a terrible day for
the Mets, especially, like I said, when there's a few
teams that you would need to leap frog to ever
get there, and now you lost the best guy on
your pitching staff to a team that just went back
to Backworld Series. And remember your fear. Your fear was, Yeah,
it's great that we got dam Williams. If he's the

(08:09):
setup guy, if he's the closer, we're in trouble. Well
guess what, he's now your closer. You're in trouble. One
last baseball question. I know it's football season, but the
hot stove is here, and if you're a baseball fan,
you love it the way we do. Kyle Schwarber five
years one fifty dude hits Poms. He's good there, it's
a good fit. Take the temperature bo Iowa, Sam, what

(08:30):
are your thoughts on Pete Alonzo? Is that is Pete
wanting more? Or does that seem to be Is Pete
Alonzo and Kyle Schwarber in the same ballpark? Pun and ten?
Do you think because Pete's currently he's signed the two year,
fifty something mill, so that's Pete's making less currently?

Speaker 2 (08:45):
What is Peak going to go after now? I think
he's going to get like three to one hundred from
the Red Sox. If I had to guess today, that's
what I would put it down as it's worth it.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Dude, who's said more home runs than him since he's
been in the league. He's first baseman, power hitter, He's
proven to be clutch. He was not appreciated by the
Mets fans or the Mets organization. You think he still
holds it against the Mets in the back of his mind?

Speaker 3 (09:07):
Man?

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Doesn't you know who does? Scott Boris? Yeah, so I
think he's in the right to take whatever he can get.
So if it's with the Red Sox, I wouldn't be
a fan of that as a Yankees fan, but I
would understand. But if Schwarbar's getting five years, I think
Alonzo's getting he should get that or more. Schwarber's at
the tail end. Would you have a question to wrap
it up? Alonzo still got some juice, you could, you know,

(09:28):
make fun of me as a Mets fan, because today's
day you should make fun of Mets fans. They blew it.
That sucks, man, The Mets suck. Mets suck. I gave
you a chance and you blew. That's that's saying. I
like my Sandler. If the Mets lose Edwin Diaz and

(09:49):
Pete Alonzo, is that one of the worst off seasons
you could remember in recent history? If they lose Pete
Alonzo and Diaz, think as a fan, yeah, and Williams,
those guys are like the heartbeat of the current Mets.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Right.

Speaker 2 (10:05):
They went from David right, you have Pete Alonzo, you
have Edwin Diaz. To lose both of them in the
same offseason, you.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Lose That's what irked me from the outside looking in, right,
because I'm not a Mets fan, but I'm like, Alonzo
is your guy, that is your guide and it's not
just a face like he is a new York Met
and he plays big and he does it in New
York like that's your dude, and embrace that guy. Part
of what it'll get is that David Stearns and Steve Cohen,
the owner and the front office of the New York Mets,

(10:33):
are Mets fans. That's the funny part. They both are
like childhood lifelong Mets fans. We're talking about the GM.
I mean, they guy that runs a team of baseball
operations president of Baseball Operations and the owner are both
lifer Mets fans, and they're letting this happen. They if
they don't have something ridiculous up their sleeve. You let
Jose Glacias go last year, and I get it, he

(10:55):
was a utility infielder, but the oh my god, and
you guess him for like a million dollar like minor
league major league joint like split contract. They let him go. JD.
Martinez was a veteran that probably would have hung around
for a minimal deal. He was the heart and soul
apparently in the locker room clubhouse. Yeah, and now you're
letting Timmy trumpets and Daz and the LFMG. You know, LFG,

(11:18):
what's f and go Mets, Pete Alonzo. If that goes away,
what do you got? Soto? And you go off to
Bellinger and I don't know, just maybe you look at
it and say, well, I'll tell you what. Not only
not only do you lose Edwin Diaz, I think you
lose Bellinger because he knows that things are looking bad

(11:39):
with the Mets. They just lost their closer. Like if
you were Bellinger, right, and you're being offered the same deal,
stay in New York and it's either the Yankees or
the Mets. With this news the Mets got today, would
you want to play for them? Hell to the nah.
I'm sticking with the Yankees. I know what I get there.
They're still contenders. There a great organization, they're still trying
to make moves. They have a decent bullpen. The Mets.

(12:00):
No way. If I was Bellinger, I'd say you lost
Bellinger by this, by this trade, by by losing DS.
What's the what's next? Missus Met's gonna leave? Mister Met?
Hey man, anything's possible this offseason. So she's banging Bernie
the Brewer. Oh man, No, she's she's banging that Red's mascot.
What's his name's It's like it's like mister Mets, creepy

(12:22):
uncle the mustache. He's got a bustache. Mister Redstock man,
call him Johnny Redstock. You lost it, Johnny Redstock. Oh boy?
So yeah, I think not only did you lose the as,
you lost the chance of Bellinger because who wants to
play with mon Soto? That guy's not a vibe. You
need a fun clubhouse, you need a fun atmosphere. And
like Rich said, I hear nothing but turmoil between Lindor

(12:45):
and Sodo. All right, so that's the update there. Congrats
to Schwarberg, Congrats the DS too, man, and I am
sorry for your Mets because I don't know that's a
big loss. Yeah, you're you're compassionate guy. I appreciate that.
No problem, man, I'm not gonna be uh but hey,
congrats to Schwarber. I mean we all were in awe.
Remember that the home run not that it sounds felt

(13:06):
like a home run derby, but remember the All Star
Game went to like extra innings in the home run off. Yeah,
it was insane. I mean, Schwarber is a stud, but
that do remember I was in Atlanta. What you watch?
We were watching at the bar having some having some cocktails. Incredible.
That was amazing. Dude. That guy hits bombs, So props
to him, not all the Schwarber. By the way, though,
I feel like he's been around for us for a minute.

(13:27):
Well he was at the Cubby's very young, was he?
It was? I mean, I just associate him with like
Rizzo and those other dudes too long. He's only thirty two, geez.
So a five year deal gets him to thirty seven,
which feels about right, and you know it does. And
you know, if he produces the next couple of years,
you're gonna look at thirty million years. Not a bargain,
but a pretty good deal for Swarps. So all right,
there you go, some baseball news. Back to football, and

(13:50):
again we're gonna give away some prizes in a few minutes.
We're gonna play richest kids over under. It's gonna be
a fun one. I think we're gonna have fun with that.
But I want to point out one particular game this
NFL Sunday and get your vibe on it, because we're talking. Hey,
we wrapped up Week fourteen yesterday, let's get into fifteen.
Can you believe this Week fifteen we're gonna be in

(14:11):
Santa Clara representing before you know. She can't wait. We'll
be out there. It's a super Bowl chilling, bringing all
the fun to you, like we always do cool interviews.
But honestly, I don't know what it is. This feels
like the fastest season of my lifetime. I'm not even
kidding you. It really does. Week fifteen, let's go what
game interests you? Man? We stand in that post COVID.

(14:32):
It really is, dude, is this perception of time moving?
I know Jay stew hates when people say times flying?
Am I right? Week fifteen? What in the hell? How's
that even possible? What's standing out? Isn't there's something like
psychological reason behind it, Like as the older you get
is you know this, it's a aller percentage of your life,
like your time moves faster as you get older. When

(14:54):
you when you were a kid, I think about because
my kids who felt school days felt like they took forever.
When you meet my kids in a few minutes when
we play the game, my kids are five and eight,
they a summer vacation or like as it's a longer
percentage of their life. So it feels longer. I mean,
I understand these logic behind that, but it's just bonkers
to realize that we're at week fifteen already, like I

(15:15):
feel like, and we were just talking about the World Series.
We're already talking about super Bowl coming up. Yeah, there's
a there's a couple of games that I find to
be ridiculously intriguing. Lions at Rams. We thought the Lions
were sort of dead, right, and then all of a
sudden they beat the Cowboys on Thursday night. They're coming
off of a little extra rest. They come out here

(15:36):
to La so they got to travel, but they got
extra rest. That's a big one. We'll talk about that
later in the week. Broncos Packers another big one. But man,
those are some good ones. AFC East, Okay, I think
you keep saying not only I do you think everyone's
downplaying the eleven and two Patriots. There's a few teams
that just aren't sexy or hasn't haven't convinced us enough yet. Oh,

(15:57):
you're not a drake by guy that we continue to
leave out. Dan Seahawks is one of them. You leave
them out all the time. West and Vegas knows it too.
He called you out on it because we're just not convinced.
For whatever reason, you could throw the Broncos and the
Texans in that mix. Texans are approven that their defense
is elite and absolutely the Patriots bro what more do
they need to do to prove to you, to anyone

(16:19):
at their legit this year? Now, when you look at
their two losses, they came within the first couple weeks
of the season. dB will tell you that in the
beginning of the year Week one, Remember Danny g came
in here like my Raiders want to know. The Raiders
beat the Pats Week one. Yeah, that was weird. I
don't know. And to think that even existed, that that

(16:40):
makes you realize how like the NFL season is long.
Looking back, that makes no sense. Like the Raiders really
in New England and.

Speaker 4 (16:47):
Considering just I mean, the Patriots look, I don't want
to say that they're unstoppable, but they look really, really
good and the playoffs may have to go through New England.
And that was the first half that was even I remember,
and then like the Raiders turned it down on the
second half, and I'm like, see Pete Carroll, Patriots have
a long way to go. Those bad analysis considering where
we are now.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
The Raiders also beat the Ravens two years ago. In
the beginning of the season, You're like, what, And then
in week three when we were like, man, Aaron, Rodgers
got it going on, and you know, it looks like
they have something cooking right now, but yes, something week
three they won twenty one fourteen. They win when they
have to. They show that they still got a little
something left. I don't know if that's a tomlind thing,
but Rodgers look decent all right now. I hate when

(17:30):
people say, well, look who they beat, because you only
play who's on your schedule. dB will tell you that
the NFC West has been accused of that for years
because if they lie like the Niners of the Seahawks
will have a big year and it's like, well, they
played no one, you can only play who's on your schedule.
I hate that sentiment of like their schedules week But
other than their win over the Bills, right, they win

(17:51):
division games. They beat the Saints, Titans, Browns, Falcons, Jets,
Bengals who were in disarray, and they just beat the
Giants like it really is a bottom feet or schedule.
I just named a bunch of really bad teams. I
just may have named the worst teams in the NFL.
So when you see the Bills and then again they

(18:14):
play that division, and the division is sort of meager
because they play after the Bills, they play the Jets
again and the Dolphins who are fighting. Dolphins are hanging
in there on a thread on four Street, and they
play the Ravens who are fighting for something. But they
could very well be fourteen to three and maybe a
soft fourteen three, But then again maybe not. I don't
think so.

Speaker 4 (18:33):
I think when you watch them play the effective discipline too, yes, correct,
Like you're like, okay, that's a good football team, no
matter who's on the other side. And you see what
Drake may has done in just his second year. They're
using all of their weapons, whether it be Stefan Diggs
or Keishawn Boody or Hunter Henry or who like, everybody's
being used. They've got a great running game now with Stevenson.

(18:56):
How Yeah, they're just they look like a really good
football team still the NFL. And they've won ten in
a row. Dude, that's that's quite impressive. The point differential.
There's only three teams right now with a plus one
hundred point differential and the Patriots are one of the three.

Speaker 1 (19:10):
So damn, you know, shame on me for downplaying. But
I think of all the games we talked about this week,
all eyes from me, Buffalo going to New England because
Josh Allen and that team that's you know, been there,
done that, Like you know, they've been to the playoffs.
It seems like every year they're going against a team
that has won ten in a row. I mean, including
one of those wins is simplify it. Some teams are

(19:31):
just so good that maybe it's a little boring sometimes,
Like there's something about the Patriots that aren't exciting. Drake
May is exciting, but don't you feel like they're a
little boring, Like like Oklahoma City Thunder, Like they're great,
and we know they're great, and they have great chemistry,
and there's a lot of young players that are really great.
Kind of boring, you know what I mean, Like there's

(19:51):
something about them that doesn't excite you unless you're a
fan of that team. It's not just sports, I know
what you're saying. Like, sometimes I'll give you the lamest
analogy you ever watch, Like a competition show. Remember like
back in the day like American, I like, Wow, what
an amazing singer, but they do nothing for me. Well bam, honestly, yeah, exactly.
She had a beautiful voice. That's how I feel about
the no feelings, and that's that's why it's hard to

(20:12):
convince I think rich and a lot of people that
they're really legit.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
Can I give you guys my theory, absolutely please do.
I think it's denial. He's been twenty years with the
Patriots dynasty. Then Brady left and they sucked, and we're like,
oh great, the Patriot's gonna suck for twenty thirty. They
didn't suck long enough for five years. Like can you
imagine being a Bills fan right now? You had your
window and you don't even make it to a Super

(20:37):
Bowl and you are and I the Patriots, Patriots win
on Sunday, they win the AFC East.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
So you were supposed to suck. It is surprising. I
think it's denial, man. I think that's definitely part of it. Bo.
I think you're onto something. And the Jets and the
Dolphins just stand by and it's like that team, it
was a dynasty, sucked and now they're good again. And
we're just still floating by. But guess what we'll find
out this week? So that's exciting. Well, hey, we got
a game that you guys are gonna want to play,

(21:01):
so we're gonna give away Cavino on Rich Fox Sports Radio,
NERF Turbo Football's eight seven, seven nine nine on Fox.

a celebration of everyday acts of support that help people
achieve their goals with iconic brands like Sensidine, Tom's and

(36:51):
Volterin Home Advil and Centrum clerdonmore. Go to heley on
Assist dot com. Now, I don't want to make this
just about the me, so let me broadden this up
to just sports fans in general. You know what a
bad look is, hm, Nike Monarchs, now know what a
bad look is, Philip rivers bolo tie. A bad look

(37:14):
is when how about Cam Newton's ridiculous hat A bad
look is when you, dude, if I wore that Cam
Newton hat, you guys would laugh me out of this.
Why do we give him? I think a bad look
is when as a sports fan, the one with the
blue candle wax all over it, you know you don't
take the L. When you don't take the L as

(37:36):
a sports fan and you start rationalizing, I think it's
a weak ass look like it could be NBA, it
could be football baseball. If your team loses out in
free agency, or I don't know, you lose a draft
pick or something, whatever the case may be. You almost
got a man up, like I'll at least say as
a Mets fan, I feel like I'm manning up and saying, hey,

(37:56):
Mets couldn't deliver what Diz wanted. I don't blame him
for going to LA the Mets. The Dodgers gave him
a slightly better deal. The Mets didn't have a chance
to match because they should have out bid the Dodgers
to begin with. You're chasing the Dodgers. You're not in
the driver's sept Sterns. Yeah, Steve Cohen, But so because
I'm saying I'm watching a lot of New York Press. Yeah, right,

(38:18):
a tough one. Guys we used to work with at
s n Y and w f AN, and you know
what they're all doing. They're all doing the good riddance.
And it's like, no, you sound like a weenie. He's
not like a sore loser. You're lost. Yeah, got good, ridden,
good ridden. I think bon nailed it before. It's like,
it's like if he isn't about the money, this one
wasn't about the money. It's either about the culture of
the Mets had, which really can't compete to the winning

(38:40):
culture that the Dodgers are providing. And lifestyle. Man it
maybe it was a simple lifestyle choice. It is despite
your politics and what you may think or whatever, it's
beautiful living out here in California. I mean, and I
was as I was saying, I'm a New Yorker who
lives in southern California, So how can I blame edwin ds?
But my point is it's like if you get dumped

(39:03):
by a smart, intelligent, well rounded, beautiful woman and you're like, yeah,
she sooked anyway, at nah, you're a loser and she
just got rid of you. Now you're rationalizing if you're
a Mets fan. You're rationalizing right now, and I refuse
to be the Mets fan that's like, yeah, well you
know what, he's not worth a good r I would
say good rintance. If he didn't produce for you, well,
you know what I would say. The real and right

(39:25):
response isn't one of New York media. Isn't one of
Frank the Tank losing his mind on barstool. I think
the real answer is, hey, that's you played yourself. You
didn't offer enough money. They're just experiencing the stages of
trauma and loss and anger. It's like good good rentance.
A guy that gave you, you know, flawless ninth innings,

(39:46):
a guy that you know delivered and gave you Timmy
Trumpet's like you know you are you wander appreciate him.
You could argue they should overspend for DZ because you
always point out how last year they almost lost a
Lonzo and they'll probably lose him this year because of
that same n of Stearns. The Mets front office. They
say they're Mets fans, but there were Would you want
to stay there now that your closer left? Well you

(40:07):
could be like I said the same thing about Cody Bollinger.
Not only did they lose the as they lost some
star players that were maybe on the fence. I just
think of your Pete Alonzo, though you could if the
Mets ever do win one, which God who knows right,
if you ever do win one, you would go down
as the greatest met of all time. And maybe that
means something to Pete. It's a team he came up
with other than that, if I'm him, rivaderci. And speaking

(40:30):
of which, we'll see you guys later. Enjoy your taco
Tuesday and we'll see back here tomorrow. Until then, maybe
see you in the promise no more Timmy Trumpet's on
this show more. Goodbye, guys,
