(00:24):
for sure, so congrats to Jake Paul.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
It was some weak.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Sauce that wasn't like Taco Bell hot sauce or or
Chick fil A sauce. What's your favorite sauce? By the way,
what's your favorite fast food sauce? I like bitchin sauce
at COSTCOO. I was Sam, what's your go to sauce?
That's good sauce, you know? And Dan No, that was
Ben Maller. Oh, oh, good sauce.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I haven't been to Arby's in a while, but they have
the Horsey sauce and the Arby sauce spicy.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You guys, you got a favorite sauce in the world.
It's not a sauce. He's a honey. How did you listen?
That's why I'm a Dan guy.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yeah, you know me and the honey. But I will
say this behind me some leftovers. Brought home some Louisiana
Liquors sauce from Quaker Steak and Lube.

Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yes, it's delicious.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Well, the fight this weekend was weak sauce, but UFC
three seventeen was pretty dope.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
You don't care about Danny G's hairtels dandy? Do you
have a number one?

Speaker 5 (01:26):
I would go with the original Chick fil A sauce.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
Yeah, that's you know what. I will never buy it
out of the bottle at the supermarket. I'll just hoard
the packets exactly.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
You gotta be you gotta be like wasteful if you
buy that at the supermarket.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Don't be sleeping on that bitchin sauce I'm talking about
if you go to Costco. A lot of people made
their Costco runs over the weekend. I look like the
little kid on the cover of the bitch in Sauce
is so good. Anyway, we'll think it too weak sauce
when it came to the fight. And like I said,
speaking of fights, Happy birthday to Iron Mic fifty ninth
birthday today. So we have lots to get to a

(02:03):
random the program. That's right, Happy birthday, Mike. Last one standing.
We're giving away prizes if you're the last one standing
here on the show. We're gonna play some games, We're
gonna talk some NFL and Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Is in the news.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Why my dude, Steve Cohen is the best owner in
all of sports?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Something something he said and did. I'll explain.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Well, it's not over promise, man, because you want to
start with overheard Lebron. Before we get to Lebron, I
must say over the weekend, the big story, Well, it
wasn't f one with Brad Pitt, which by the way,
was number one at the theater if you got out
of the heat.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
The Jeff Bezos wedding.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I have to bring this up simply because we're going
to talk about weddings later because theres a wedding snub
in the NFL that's making news, not if we continue
talking about sauce. But ah, I mean I put that
Taco Bell hot sauce. I put that Taco Bell hot
sauce on everything everything.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
What I mean everything, Wow, you're stealing Frank's hot sauce slogan.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
Isn't that there?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
As you can put that ish on everything I put
the top. I know too, those are valuable little packets.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
But over the weekend I have to bring this up
because apparently Tom Brady we talk a lot about, was
the party star. From what I understand, reports are that
Tom Brady was dancing with everyone. He was hanging and
flirt with Sidney Sweeney.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
He was in the.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
DJ booth with Tigo mixing it up. Like Tom Brady
is unleashed, Adam Tommy. He is the number one bachelor
in the world. It's now Sidney Sweeney and Tom Brady bathwater,
tom e fan Brady, hate him.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
No one had a better weekend.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
Good for him, So tom boy, that's my part owner

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Thank you Larry, thank you.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
All Right, So now that we got that out of
the way, got the business out, our birthday shoutouts out,
Let's talk about overheard Lebron Lebron Is that a Twitter
account like overheard La? Well, I'm pretty sure I'm pretty
sure it's legit. Actually, yeah, because, by the way, what
sort of trash bag puts this out there?

Speaker 5 (05:17):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
You know, I sort of had a taste of this
the other day, rich I was in the sauna. Yeah,
and I'm nobody famous. Yeah right, I'm infamous, which is
more than famous.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Thanks three. I feel like a dude was recording me
in the sauna the other day. I think he was
just recording your feet.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
No, seriously, I was like, what's he doing. He's got
the camera up and it's pointing at me. What is
he like sharing this with his like Votto buddies. Oh no,
I saw this. It was on TMZ. It was what
happened to Mario Lopez. Yeah, hey, whatever it was. You know,
look at this Vato He's got just for men dripping
down his face. I don't know what was going on,

(05:55):
but he was recording me.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
Either way. The story goes that James is at some
sort of is it like a sushi spot. It looks like,
I HA bachi spot. It's nice.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
He's at some swanky Asian restaurant. I don't know if
it's a Japanese restaurant or what. But you see him there,
and then there's another cut of like someone is trying
to hide it, but they're recording overheard Lebron James saying,
I ain't mad looking at New York. She meaning his wife, Savannah,

(06:25):
want me to effing retire in a year or so,
Lebron James. And you probably heard the audio. It's it's muddled,
but it's legit or it seems real. You've heard other
people talking about it. So it got us thinking about
Lebron James and all these moving parts, the layers of Lebron,
the layers of Lebron exactly because Lebron James exercised his

(06:47):
fifty two point six million dollar Lakers contract option ahead
of this season, which means he's wearing purple and gold
this season. He's still a Laker, But after that the
options open, meaning last year they gave him one and one.
This year he's just getting the one, so he could
still be traded, but it has to be run by Lebron.

(07:07):
But he's playing with the Lakers. Next year's open, that's
the question. So what's he gonna do. I don't understand
the New York reference unless he's meaning the Knicks or
moving there or maybe either post retirement has some business opportunities.
It's vague, it's vague, but either way, he's saying that
the pressure's on wife. He's saying one more year, which

(07:28):
means she's getting a little antsy and agitated, and to
be quite honest, she's been very patient.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
The guy's played a long time.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
I mean, desja voud did we see this with Tom Brady?
One year too many could mean trouble, embarrassings. Absolutely, you
don't want Lebron's wife ending up with the kung fu
instructor or the jiu jitsu instructor.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Well, there's so many layers as to Lebron James of
what the future. Holts are very on. Dan Patrick, the
legend that we fill in for this Thursday, was saying,
I believe that he thinks this is the farewell tour
for Lebron James. This is going to be the year
where it's sort of a spoken unspoken. Maybe he makes

(08:08):
an announcement, but this is, this is it. And perhaps
Danny g you're a big Lakers fan, if they could
add a guy like.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
No, this is it was Michael Jackson's farewell tour. That
is true.

Speaker 1 (08:18):
This is Lebron's last year. I agree with Dan Patrick wholeheartedly.
I think with this no trade clause, he stays a
Laker one more year to see what sort of moves
they make this year. They're gonna build a team around Luca,
but he's gonna stick around one more year to see
if they can recapture any fortune and glory before he
dips out.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
But this is his last year, Goodbye.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
He's not going to go out and pulling Aaron Rodgers
per se, meaning end up on another random team for
one more year. How many more years does he have
after this year?

Speaker 2 (08:48):
One more? I mean, there's no way less and less.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Hold on unless he goes back to Cleveland. We forget
that he is still an impact player. Lebron James is
still an impact there. But he's still don't you do
need to retire?

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Has life?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
This is not a This is not a guy who's there.
You know now he's you know, there's there's guys that.
Oh now he's scoring eighteen, he's still Lebron James and
Danny you're Lakers fan. I was gonna say, if they
add a piece, I'm seeing some murmurs about DeAndre Ayton. Yeah,
if a guy like getting a big man if they
get if they add a piece like that, does Lebron

(09:21):
have a chance to go out like like a John
Elway like win and retire?

Speaker 5 (09:25):
Is it that would be nice?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Right?

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Wait?

Speaker 5 (09:27):
I mean this always comes up. Whenever Lebron opts into
an extension or a contract. The murmurs are always, well,
he wants to see still if they're gonna put winners
around him. So we've we've seen this song and danced before.
There are people who don't agree that this is going
to be a farewell tour, that he's still going to
play another two or three seasons. I know, Buyer. Over

(09:50):
the weekend, there's a video clip from Fox Sports where
you're saying you don't think it's a farewell.

Speaker 4 (09:54):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think it is. But I think
it's the Lakers saying farewell to Lebron. That that that
basically in year, like last offseason, they signed him to
a one on one deal. It said one year contract
with the player option for the next I don't think
they wanted to give him an option for the next year.
And I don't think that there's any teams that he
wanted to go to this year that would have the
money to pay him what he wanted, So I think

(10:16):
he just opted in. But I think next year gives
all those other teams the ability to maybe get ready
for Lebron to leave LA and then he'll have his
swan song, which I always felt was going back to Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
That would be the last year. Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
That's why I don't think that it's I don't think
next year is his last year. I think he wants
that go around the league and be honored for an
entire season because.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
It doesn't mess.

Speaker 1 (10:39):
Thank you, dB, Dan Bayer, Do you agree with what
Dan's saying here eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
or what Dan Patrick said earlier that it is his
farewell tour. I am quite in the middle because I
do agree that if it is another year or two
after this year with the Lakers, it can only be
with Cleveland. He's just the kid from Akron, Ohio. I mean,

(11:00):
the Nicks random, been there.

Speaker 2 (11:01):
Done that. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
New York could be a very interesting, really farewell and
you heard him say in New York. He does say
New York in that weird recorded clip. What Dan Bayer
says is interesting because that has happened in other sports
where a star player is told by the organization like
hey listen, like almost insinuating, like if you're going to
hang it up, this is your failure. Well tour from us, like,

(11:25):
I feel like that's been done with other players and
other sports where you see a guy will be like, well,
they thought I was done, but I'm really not done.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
And he might just be done in LA Well.

Speaker 5 (11:35):
In a few weeks ago, we talked about the Guggenheim
group coming in. They have no loyalty to Lebron in
point ye. At the time, Murmur, we were saying, like
they are going to build for the future around Luca,
so it would not surprise me if the writing is
on the wall between the Lakers and Lebron.

Speaker 4 (11:51):
And that's up on my Sunday show. But yesterday I
compared it to marriages. That's how I've been doing it.
It's there have been marriages that people are madly in
love after fifty years and the others that are marriages
out of convenience, and once one needs more than the other,
doesn't need the other one more than the other, then
it breaks. And I feel that's what happened with Lebron.
And the Lakers where now the Lakers, because they have Luca,

(12:13):
they don't need Lebron as much anymore. So they're gonna
go their own way, and then Lebron will end up
going his.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
Well, man, it's a lot to take in a lot
of moving parts. He's got the no trade clubs. Like
we said, he's got one more year this coming year
with the Lakers. He's forty years old. Now, it's a
matter of how much guess you think he really has
and you already alluded to it. Rich His stats show
that he's still an effective player, but how much longer
could he possibly want to play? He's forty now, But

(12:41):
once you stop, it's over, buddy this year, okay, Lakers.
You think he's got one or two more years after that?
Because if it's one, then I definitely think it's Cleveland,
because well, you retire that team the most. There's two teams.
If it needs more than one year, then yeah, maybe
the Knicks. I don't think you just go out with
some random team. The fact that Aaron Rodgers doing that
to me tarnishes the the legacy a little bit. Every

(13:06):
big star just twinle off on random teams. I hate
that look, I don't think Lebron is going to do that.
In the Eastern Conference. It just feels very wide open, right,
Like the Pacers made the NBA Finals, but you know
Halliburton's now he's gone for a year. The I'm just saying,
like the Eastern Conference, the Knicks and Cavs, the two

(13:27):
teams you mentioned are both right there, and Lebron to
either one of those two teams and you could argue
that they're the best team now in the Eastern Conference.
Throw Boston in there too, but he's not going there.
It's like if they could force the trade, right, you
think he could say he wants to go to the
Knicks this year. No think I think we got one
more in LA. Well he's supposed to, Yeah, that was

(13:47):
the option.

Speaker 4 (13:48):
This is the awesome thing about it is there are
really no wrong answers because you don't know what Lebron
is going to do. I don't know if teams are
really set up to do anything this offseason for him,
but it could be tricky, but I it's it's all
out there. I read Rich Paul's statement different than other
people read it and taking my own things. So there's
everything is on the table when it comes to Lebron huhm.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
I was talking to some of the dads on the
on my son's baseball team. We're chatting about this, and
we're saying that the NBA should hope that Lebron keeps
these theatrics and this going, because you've noticed that the
Lebron Steph curry that generation of superstars.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
As they age.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Unless these young stars start emerging, the NBA is gonna
they don't want YO saying about it Lebron and Steph
in a few years, that's not good for the NBA.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
So these theatrics are great.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
What's interesting also is Laker fans are split on this.
There's some who are tired of Lebron in the circus
around him, like my cousin who was in our group
chat last night saying, farewell if he's gonna, you know,
agree to a trade and go out, Yeah yeah, I mean,
if they put the right players around Luca and get
a couple of bigs, then they'll be all right. I'll
be set for the future.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Well, Ayton has stated that he wants to play with Luca,
not necessarily, he.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
Hasn't said it. There's rumors that he and Luca have
wanted to play together. Now there's also Laker fans like
my older brother who wrote right back to my cousin
and said, who you going to replace Lebron with? You
take them for granted, dude, And so there's lots of
Laker fans arguing over this.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Your cousin, I have me fan friends like that. I
have forty nine er fan friends like that, where they
have this like fire coach or get rid of this
planet's like and replace them with who's a good point?
It's like the other point we made and you forgot
your own point, rich or maybe you were getting to it.
I'm sorry you were getting to it, probably, but when
we were doing our pre show meeting, you were saying
how people should be kissing Lebron's assay, we're never going

(15:44):
to see this again, and you got to take it
all in like he's underappreciated almost you were going on
this rant. I'm like, I think that we're going to
look back. Lebron's a great example of this happens a
lot with politicians on both sides right where it's like
you can't really assess their value, their value, or their
tenure impact until years later and I think we're gonna

(16:05):
look back like and we're really I know, he brought
it on himself a little bit, not two, three, four, five, six, seven,
all that nonsense, very outspoken guy. So yeah, he got
a lot of criticism. Three yeah, not four, not ten, eleven.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
To nine finals though, I mean, but yeah, so let's
that sink in nine.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I think we are going to look back and be like, yeah,
he did a couple boneheaded things that made it easy
to pick on him, But we're gonna look back and say,
we were really rough on a guy that was like
really solid on and off the court, Like we were
really sort of jerking. Starting now this weekend, this is
the beginning of the end to see pretty much you're

(16:43):
start figuring out how it all ends and how it
wraps up. Will it be as a Laker, will it
be as a nick all these little rumors, and or
will it be like Dan Meyer said, Cleveland, which I
think would be a fitting sort of farewell.

Speaker 5 (16:55):
And Rich will miss him in the playoffs in the finals.
But let's be real, some of this Lebron fatigue, even
with his own team's fan base, is brought on by himself.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
A lot of it off I just feel like the
end of Lebron feels like the you know, a sitcom
or a drama you watch is ending, and you know
they always add some like you know, Redheaded Kid or
some like step Kid or Sam with the Cowboy or
you know, or the they you know, Michael Scotts Tree
placed on the office by someone else, and there's always that.

(17:26):
I feel like if Lebron were to go to one
team at the end, it would be like EMMITTT. Smith
as a Cardinal or you know, Jerry Rice putting on
like a Seahawks Rodgers as a Steeler.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
We know the Steelers are respectable, Like him as a
Steeler for one year is weird, you know, oh god please?

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Yeah, but Emmett Smith's numbers as a Cardinal rich We're
not like Lebron's numbers last season.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
That's true. I just to me, it's like it's interesting,
and you guys are all right. I think everyone in
the room is right, and Dan's right. You can't be
wrong because we're still waiting to see what's avining.

Speaker 4 (17:56):
Yeah, and I started Emmett Smith in some fantasy leagues
when he was with the Cardinals, So that's all. How
bad of a fantasy football player, right, right, right, just
they weren't em at Smith numbers.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
Yeah, I mean he didn't do you know when you look,
he did better than you think.

Speaker 5 (18:08):
Yeah he did.

Speaker 4 (18:08):
Recently, I thought like nine hundred yards or like, you know,
close to a thousand or something.

Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yeah, in my mighty had like one hundred yards. But no,
he was like relatively effective for a minute in Arizona.
But you know what, it's a simple strategy we're talking
about it. It keeps him relevant, keeps him in the news,
It keeps him valuable. People start whispering they want a
piece of lebron for that farewell tour.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Right. It's like on Love Island, Rich.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
You may be in love or complacent on a particular
team or with a particular person, but why not keep
your options open just to see what's out there? And
that's what he's doing. So we'll see, he's got one
more year with the Lakers and a no trade clause.
How will this all wrap up? How will this end?
We'll find out. And what do you think about that
whole New York thing that was weird?

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Interesting? And also the pressure from his wife. I think
that does say a lot.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
I think that says, if we're going to learn anything
from Brady, that was a great example, Rich, and I
think that adds to this. Probably is his last year.
His wife is putting that sort of pressure on him.
Think about that now. You know, as they said in
My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Spot, you'll know what was
the quote where like the wife turns the head, but.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
He you're the one quoting it.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Foy wants shame on, you know how they like they
always say Spot.

Speaker 6 (19:22):
I feel like Spot loves that movie. The man is
the head, but the wife turns the neck.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Something like that. Right, Yeah, I don't know. That's on.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
You can't get fooled again, essentially, you just can't get
fooled again. That was from My Big Fat Greek Wedding,
right exactly. So with that said, your thoughts at Covino
and Rich and you know, speaking of my big fat
Greek wedding, not a Greek wedding, but there was a wedding.

Speaker 2 (19:47):
Look at that. We're gonna get to this next.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
And the big announcement. Our show is going to broadcast
live from the MLB All Star Game in Atlanta. Watch
your favorite celebrities. Cavino and Rich, what I mean, sorry,
I misread that wat's your favorite celebrities take the field
at Truest Park during the MLB All Star Saturday on
July twelfth, and lots of people going to be there. Rich,
two time Olympian, Jordan Chiles, Hall of Fame inductee, CC Sabathia,

(20:16):
Captain Crunch Sabathia is going to be there, Quemo is
going to be there, Latin Star, Young Mico, my Girl,
Jenny Finch, Gold Medalist, Softball Superstar all there part of
the All Star Celebrity Softball Game. And if a bunch
of people, maybe if like ten people get sick, they'll
ask me to play. That's what I'm so hoping for.

(20:36):
A bild stomach bug goes around like we don't got anyone,
and I'll we're gonna bring the fun to you live
again the game presented by Geico. Visit All Star Game
dot com for tickets. I'm Cavino. That is Rich and
we kicked it off with overheard Lebron and Dan Byer
reference to what Rich Paul said. Rich Paul said, that's

(20:59):
Lebron's agent. He explained that they're going to be closely
monitoring the Lakers' moves and whether the team is positioning
itself this offseason to field a title contending roster. So
that's just a power move that they're pulling. The power moves,
the power move that men and women of power in

(21:19):
all business do. Right, Do you want me to sign
with your company? Want me to go with you? Lay
out what you plan on doing. And he's at that
point in his career, he's got one more year at
the Lakers. Does he use this as the farewell or
does he end up in New York or again all
the overheard stuff that we heard about his wife wanting

(21:40):
him to retire at sea at seta your thoughts at
Covin o Andrech at Fox Sports Radio. Now the other
funny story before we get to Dan Byer's update and
last one standing is well, it involves a wedding another
guy you're sick of, sick of hearing about Danny g
I don't know who hogs up the headlines more. That's
a question in itself. Lebron or Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers,

(22:04):
don't hang on, I'm setting my timer. You guys have
four minutes. He said recently he wants to keep his
private life private. His private life is staying private was
the quote. Because there's a lot of people are like, dude,
you got married, Dude, why didn't he tell us? Then
he tried to guesslight everyone and say like, you guys
are old just weirdos for wanting to know who my

(22:25):
wife even is. Meanwhile, he's wearing the ring he's talking about.
Of course there's interest, right, Yeah. Well, over the weekend,
do you guys remember David Bachdiari, Absolutely well, he was
the center. He was Rogers center when Rogers was on
the Packers, a big part of that Green Bay Packers
team and also sounds like a guy that should be
on Spartacus blocked.

Speaker 5 (22:44):
Yeah, they chugged the Bruskies together at the box.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
He was one of those linemen that you saw chugging
beers with Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (22:50):
Remember the clip where Aaron Rodgers was chugging beer.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
We talked about it. He was on the big screen.
He was a pro bowler of course. Yeah, well he
was there with his buddy David Bachtiard. Now over the weekend,
Bactiari threw out a tweet on the old X page.
He threw out an X what do we say, have
we confirmed how to you call it.

Speaker 5 (23:10):
Whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Well, you're also the guy that refused to say grande
at Starbucks at the day medium and they go grande
and you go medium.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
What do you say? He posted a.

Speaker 5 (23:19):
Next It's like how it'll always be Staple Center, It'll
always be Twitter.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
He posted a tweet that said love is love. Congrats
to the loves. He said, just happy. At least one
of my quarterbacks invited me to their wedding, and he
put that like shocking look emoji, like yeah, I'm talking smack,
and I'm talking about Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
So here they.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Are buddy chummy one year teammates, big screen chugging beers
high five and chest bumping Bactiari and Rogers. And you know,
Rogers played a few seasons without him. Life goes on,
Life moves on. He took it to heart. Now is
that on him or is it on Rogers? I think
it's not him, to be honest, that's my instinct here

(24:01):
because I have a story that backs up Rogers. I
remember when I got married, stressing over Maddi'd who am
I leaving off the list? Is someone gonna get butt hurt?
Am I offending someone? And then you realize if you
don't get invited somewhere, you don't really care that much.
And then you realize you're overthinking it. And if someonere

(24:22):
to quit, an invite from an Aaron Rodgers probably means
a lot there are Sometimes it is an indicator of
where that person sees you and looks at you.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, Aaron Rodgers. BATII might have thought.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Like he's my number one best friend play, but I
would imagine he might be thinking Aaron Rodgers and I
were like the one two combo center quarterback for for years.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Like the guy gets married and and I'm not there.
I'm the last to know. I see where I stand.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Well, you know what life moves on, and that's really it'
I had to say this, And sometimes people misread the room,
maybe on their level of importance in your life. And
I know that sounds terrible. I'll give you my example.
I had a daughter. I still do. She's a teenage
pain in the ass. But when I had her in

(25:17):
two thousand and nine, right I gave birth, I was
the first man to give birth.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
You had was that bad Arnold movie? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
I looked pregnant when she was born. That's for sure,
I ballooned up. But anyway, I had my daughter and
we had her christening maybe about a year or so later, right,
and you post some pictures on Facebook or whatever. Hey,
we had our little blessing and our christening, and here's
the pictures for the family.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
It was called Junior, by the way, Junior, that's right.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
And I remember this is when I took the bus
in New York City. I got on the bus from
New York City after work to go back to my
hometown and one of my high school buds was on
the bus with me. So I saw an old high
school bud that I hadn't seen in years on the
bus and he's like, eh, congratulations, I saw you. You

(26:08):
had a big party for your daughter's christening. Like, hey, yeah,
thanks man, I appreciate it. How you been bring it in?
And he goes to me, no joke, He goes, thanks
for the invite. And I thought he was like joking,
but he was dead serious. And I'm like, yo, man,
we may even close at one point. I don't talk
to you in like ten years, Like, seriously, how do
you expect that invite? I didn't get a congratulations when

(26:29):
my daughter was born. I didn't get a Christmas card
For the past ten years, I didn't get a hot
do you do that?

Speaker 2 (26:35):
I'm in town.

Speaker 1 (26:36):
I haven't heard fore you ever, And you're offended that
I didn't invite you to my the Christening party, and
why would you want to go anywhere?

Speaker 2 (26:43):
You know? Yeah, but he gave me.

Speaker 1 (26:44):
This East Coast you know, botch a group sort of attitude.
Thanks for the invite, and I'm like, dude, I want
to invited you anyway. But it dawned on me that
maybe him and I looked at things differently, just like
an attiari and Rogers might look at pens. And that's
the key I learned a long time ago, in fact,

(27:05):
when I was a.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Young war hog, when Rich was a young war hog,
like when I was like first in radio.

Speaker 1 (27:13):
You start to work with people day in and day out,
and it's shocking sometimes when someone leaves you don't really
hear from him ever again. And you're like, I thought
we were boys, and you're like, nah, we were coworkers.
And it's a it's a realization that you come to
over the years, and I feel that applies to teammates.
Guys you share a locker room with the huddle. You know,

(27:35):
you could be sitting in the bullpen with someone for
eight years they get married. It's like we were middle
relievers together for five years. And some people are good
at separating work and personal. Some people blend it. And
I think Aaron Rodgers also had a very small wedding
from what I'd imagine. Right, That's the other thing, Right,
he didn't make the cut, doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate

(27:55):
his time with you as a teammate. So I don't
know did he take it personally? Your thoughts on the
wedding snub? You know, I have one last thought on this,
but we'll get to it right after DB's update.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
What up, Dan? Bio Dan?

Speaker 4 (28:08):
Guys, We've got controversy in the WNBA, but I'm gonna
get to that in a second. I want to tell
you the big trade that happened in the NFL today.
Steelers acquired corner Jalen Ramsey and tit in John new
Smith in a trade with the Dolphins. They also get
a seventh round pick as part of the deal. The
Dolphins are getting safety Minka Fitzpatrick in a fifth round pick.
Multiple reports say the Steelers have received calls about TJ Wapp,
but they are not interested in dealing their star edge rusher,

(28:31):
who has been missing offseason activities as he wants a
new contract. ESPN reports the New York Knicks have a
second interview set up with Mike Brown about their head
coaching vacancy, while the Jazz and guard Jordan Clarks that
have agreed to a buyout Nick Buttoom's going to be
back with the Clippers as he's agreed to a two
year deal worth twelve million dollars. In the NHL, Toronto

(28:52):
Maple Leafs are signing Mitch Martin to an eight year
deal and trading him to the Vegas Golden Knights. While
at Wimbledon, Carlos Alcarez a five set winner today, while
twelve seed in American Francis Tiaffo a straight sets winner
on day one at the England Club. And here's what's
going on in the WNBA. The league is expanding by
three more teams by twenty thirty, so Cleveland, Detroit and
Philadelphia are getting squads, but the All Stars squads have

(29:15):
been announced. Caitlin Clark one of the ten starters, but
in voting, she was first in fan voting, third by
the media for backcourt players ninth in player rankings, So
the players, the players had her ninth in voting for
the All Sam bars Dan.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
We said this last week, these women hate on each
other at a level that is crazier.

Speaker 4 (29:41):
Man, and I thought we felt that it got better
like this season, like maybe she's but it's still theirs.
She was ninth and this isn't of all All Stars.
This is ninth in guards in backcourt.

Speaker 1 (29:52):
Bro that would be like if MLB players are like, yeah,
like show Hayes number five or six, like average coach
number twelve.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
She's talking about she is the face and best player
in the league. What if the other the players voter, Yeah,
we put her top ten. It's pretty good. God, that's embarrassing.
It's embarrassing. Actually, yeah it is. Well damn thank you, DV.
Thank you get by her. You talked about the Steelers.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I'm so intrigued, And you would say, why Danny g
hates that I'm intrigued. Aaus it's Aaron Rodgers. But with
Aaron Rodgers and now Jayalen Ramsey and.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
You're four minutes over your time by the way, DK.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
Metcalf think I just I love the over. It's eight
and a half in Vegas. I double checked a lot
of sportsbook have their win total at eight and a half.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
I think it's a winning team. I do.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
I don't know how far they go, but for the
steel I feel like a lot of these guys are
going to be playing with a chip on their shoulder
because a lot of them are deemed like best years
behind them. They don't got it. It's another, you know,
mediocre Steelers team. There's a part of me that sort
of is good secret. I think their secret league might
be good, and I'm gonna pull for them. I feel
like I want to see the Steelers surprise and it's

(30:57):
eight and a half in Vegas.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
So I like the over.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
That's what they're banking on because the flip side is
that the bottom falls out, which I don't think they're
necessarily afraid of. But I think that they're going all
in for twenty twenty five. These moves show it.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Love me some yacht rock, but don't call it yacht rock.
They get mad at everyone gets met. Everyone in the
yacht rock genre hates the name. And I love this
song because I never knew what it was really about,
even though I heard it eight million times. There was
one time I actually recorded it with Roger and Dwayne
and rerun and I got in trouble.

Speaker 5 (31:29):
Do you know my mom still thinks he's African American.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Michael McDonald is because of that voice. He's got so
much soul.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
She's like, it's part of my soul collection.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Now, if you're listening to the podcast, you could say
that about the Hall and Oates too, some of their
song yeah the Black Guy or not. This is what
a fool believes by the Doobie Brothers, right, Michael McDonald,
The story goes you could lower it now, Sam, because
I want to explain, only to realize it.

Speaker 2 (31:55):
Never really was.

Speaker 1 (31:57):
She had a place in his life, right, she had
a place in his life, but he never made her
think Twice as he rises to her apology because she's like,
I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
I don't remember you.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Anybody else would surely know he's watching her go what
a fool believes because he built up in his mind
that they had something that never really was. Meanwhile, it
makes me think of maybe Bactieri really put a lot
more emphasis on the relationship he had with Aaron Rodgers

(32:32):
and Aaron Rodgers like, yeah, he was a good guy
who was my center, but I'm not inviting him to
my wedding. And meanwhile, Baktiari is like, what the world, bros?
In fact, I was sam, you were saying they were
closer than we thought.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
I followed up Rogers and Bactieri in the whole team,
you know, over the years, and bak Tiari when Rogers
came back for the twenty twenty one season, there had
been some drama between him and the team, and sort
of post the COVID season there was just a lot
of uncertainty, and Bactieri greeted Rogers with accustom Aston Martin
golf cart that had like all this, you know, tricked

(33:05):
out stuff on it. And of course, so Rogers would
be like, well, this is actually just repaying me for
several very expensive gifts I gave to you, Boktiari. But
if you're changing expensive gifts with your lineman, he's uh, hey,
probably a friendly close to I don't.

Speaker 1 (33:19):
Like to think this way because they're teammates and everybody's
an equal and everyone's a person, But in reality he
is Aaron Rodgers.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
So you don't think the.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Friendship for Bactieri meant more to him than it did
for Rogers and Boctiari. I know that sounds terrible, but
he's Aaron Rodgers, an NFL legend, right. And the reason
we bring this up is Bocdiari publicly posted congrats to
the Loves because he was at Jordan Love's wedding. Yeah,
he says, just happy at least one of my quarterbacks

(33:47):
invited me to their wedding. Now, but maybe he said
it playfully, but he wasn't invited, and some people feel
snubbed when things like that happen.

Speaker 4 (33:55):
I know, I know that he is cheated on his
last five girl friends, including the most recent one with me,
But I'm different. He's gonna stay, He's not gonna cheat anymore.
That's what this is, Bachtiari thinking, like, I know he's
had flaky relationships even with his family, but I'm different, man,
Like I knee, Yeah, like I knew that's different. Like

(34:16):
I know you don't talk to your mom and dad,
but I'm different.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (34:20):
Yeah, that's a good point. So was he snubbed? Your
thoughts on that the wedding snub? But it could be
as simple as Aaron Rodgers really just had a small
thing where he invited really close friends and family, and
that's it.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
You know, that's it.

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Though, the Michael all Sensitive, the Michael McDonald lyrics really
do hit home because that's something we all have to remember.
How you view a relationship might be different than how
the other person does.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
Say that the truth.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
All right, so we're live from the Fox Sports Radio
studio Covino and Rich and it's time for our tire
act Play of the Day.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Aaron Judge had a day. Yeah, Buddy sw on to
the gap cleft center field, got all kinds of carry
take it by the captain. Second home run today. This
is a true run shot twelve five.

Speaker 1 (35:07):
Of course, my uncle Joe was at the game the
day before where they got beat zero to seven.

Speaker 2 (35:12):
Seven. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:14):
Well that's courtesy the Yankees Radio Network. That was the
Tyrecht play of the day. You're never gonna listen to
the Doobie Brothers classic the same way again because we've
all built up something in our brain to be more
than it was. It was an episode of This is
Our Sashaw Used to Love back in the day where
Nikki the brother.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
The brother.

Speaker 1 (35:32):
Had this memory of like his first love and then
he went to like go reunite with her and she's like,
I think I remember you.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yeah, and that's.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Always remember being really sweet. Meanwhile, this guy yearned for
her for two years. Then you have a family member
bump into a girl at a bar that he's like,
I had a crazy night with her and she's like,
I think I remember you and he's like.

Speaker 2 (35:51):
Yeah, it's an ego killer for sure. Yeah. So hey,
Buktiari Aaron Rodgers kissing makeup.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
The Brightest Pace Paul athletes from HPCUS are about to
make history in Atlanta at MLB All Star Week. I'm

Recap Wednesday morning, Monday Tuesday Wednesday in for the Great
Dan Patrick from Atlanta, Georgia. So before we move on
and talk about Geno Smith, and there's an update on

(36:40):
the Katel Marte story. Let's take one quick phone call
now eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Everything at
Covino and Rich about this Bachtiari wedding snub. He felt
slighted clearly based on his tweet that he wasn't invited
to Aaron Rodgers' wedding. So I believe j R j R.

(37:01):
Only in Indianapolis. What's up, Jr? Now?

Speaker 7 (37:06):
I M tell you're doing fellas man?

Speaker 1 (37:08):
What do you how do you feel is this? Is
this a diss a sneak disc nothing? Are you not
reading into it?

Speaker 2 (37:12):
Or what I mean?

Speaker 7 (37:14):
The relationship between a center and a quarterback is kind
of sacred anyway you give him a hernie a chick?
How many times a year? I mean, so I guess
you down here that long? I mean, you know, I
would feel like you didn't play with my balls a
long time. So you know, you just we probably should
be able to have a relationship where I get invited
to your way.

Speaker 1 (37:35):
It's a relationship like none other. You're right, I mean
it could be a work relationship. Hey, not everyone gets
invited from the office. But I'm saying there's an intimacy
between a center and a quarterback that you know. I mean,
I'm sorry, he's a tackle, but yeah, there's a there's
a relationship there where you know, you're a you're in
the you're in it together. He's protecting Aaron Rodgers. I

(37:56):
don't know anyway. Yeah, but you know what else it's
like too, there's that weird feeling of the people that
stayed at the job, right, and then you leave and
you work with a bunch of different other people. In
their mind, they still think of you as yeah, used
to work with them, But meanwhile, you that person was

(38:17):
just one of many other people you met along the way.
It's hard to explain, but what I'm trying to say
is Aaron Rodgers has dealt with a lot of other
lignements since that guy. That's we thought they were tight.
And you know what, I just want to wrap it
by saying, if you were ever quote this did not
invited somewhere, never take it seriously because I'm just that person.

(38:40):
Really that is that big of a deal.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
I mean, come on, I.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
Read once that you can, like psychologists say, you can
only really have about a relationship with about two hundred
people where you remember their name, you remember things about them,
you actually you know, you have a back and forth.
And I think that that two hundred people that changes
over the years. You know, you have new people you
work with and maybe they they take a spot, they
take up those spots go to the wedding. So yeah,
it's it's hard to remember everybody from your past and

(39:04):
make sure everyone's invited. I think it looks it looks
like this, he's just had a small wedding and he
could invite everything exactly.

Speaker 2 (39:11):
I mean. The reality is something I've thought over the
years is, by.

Speaker 1 (39:13):
The way, if you're angry at a friend because of that,
let it go.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
It's lamb. Yeah, didn't buy er.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Let me ask you, if you don't mind me ask you,
what year to do and your wife get married? Twenty seventeen?

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Okay. I wonder in the last eight years, how different
would your wedding guest list look? Oh? Completely.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
My wife and I often talk about how we look
at our We had about one hundred and fifty people.

Speaker 2 (39:34):
She's from Texas, I'm from New York.

Speaker 1 (39:36):
Of those one fifty, we imagine maybe half of them
would still be invited.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
And there's a slew of new people that clearly would
have been hundred percent. Life changes changes, and more for
some people than others.

Speaker 4 (39:48):
I'm also a firm believer, and I think I've said
this to you guys on the show where I just
I think some people are in your lives for just
a certain period of time into the friendship, maybe five years,
maybe ten years. Not everything is a lie long friendship,
a reason.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Or a season someday say all right, so yeah, just
moves in and out.

Speaker 3 (40:05):
If you guys go back to your early radio careers,
you probably have what one or two people you'd like
to pluck out of that and be like, yeah, he's
coming to the wedding, great friend from twenty years ago,
Like you can't. You know, you have people that come
in out of your life. It's just normal.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
It's natural, you know, really, And the best way to
look at it is think of a job you had,
not just in radio or TV, you're broadcasting, whatever you
do for a living. Think your old job. How many
people do you talk to from that place? The answer
might be one or two, but at the time you
were like man Hank in accounting, we go out for
beers every Thursday night, football, and you might not have
seen Hank in fifteen years. So just remember it's it's

(40:37):
I guess what Hank might still be there and you
had like three or four jobs since.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
I also think though, that David Baktiari knows what flack
Aaron Rodgers gets for his relationships.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Or lack thereof. That's fun in that book, and that's
what I don't know.

Speaker 4 (40:55):
Is it him busting chops or is he truly calling
him out because in that book that Ian O'Connor wrote
last year, you were either in the inner circle, or
you won't or you weren't, and sometimes without warning you
were dropped. Some people make it back in and some
people don't. But he's not like any other player in

(41:15):
the NFL that we have that So him bringing that up,
I think is pretty interesting because Rogers just is looked
at differently because of his lack of relationships with his
family and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
The articles that I'm reading about it is that it
clearly ticked off bock Dari. But for all we know,
he's busting shops, right, we don't know. So that's the story.
Your feedback at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
Now I know Danny gets so irritated by the Roger stuff.
But Danny, there is a level of aren't you a
little intrigued?

Speaker 5 (41:45):
Like, is he gonna really four minutes full segment?

Speaker 1 (41:48):
Is he gonna connect with anyone? He said, twenty four minutes? Oh,
I'm sorry. Will he can all of a sudden we
can be like, yeah, look at him in DK Metcalf
they're bros.

Speaker 2 (41:57):
Or yeah, him and Tom Win chopping it up.

Speaker 1 (41:58):
They look like, I wonder how we're all going to
be just watching his moves.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
It's sort of, you know, it's on us, but we'll
be watching.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
Well, there's another story involving an NFL quarterback. That quarterback
is Danny G's quarterback, Dan Byer's old quarterback, Geno Smith.
Geno Smith trending this weekend Raiders QB got into it.
Got into a fight at a football game this weekend.

(42:27):
He's going back and forth, verbal fight, argument, little verbal tussle,
a back and forth with some of the people in
the stands, and he's quoted as screaming back and forth.

Speaker 2 (42:39):
That's why I get paid the big bucks. That's why
I get paid the big bucks.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
And video surface of this back and forth in the
stands and he posted. Gino Smith later posted having fun
with the game. I love man. The need for clicks
and negativity takes away from the great event that happened
this past weekend. All the kids had fun and peded
all around. Great event. This is how we talk in

(43:04):
Dade Country. In Dade Country, I'm sorry you might not understand.
Carry on. So he's there coaching these kids and these
parents get all wild, and parents are wild. That's why
you see those signs. Remember parents, the kids are watching.
You gotta behave be the adult. But he went on
and carried on. But he's saying it's not.

Speaker 5 (43:23):
A big competitive The team he's playing against was called
Raw Miami, So yeah, it was just the environment, I think.

Speaker 1 (43:31):
So he was just smack. To me, that was just
smack talking back and forth. But some of the parents
trying to get under his skin. Why not it's Gino Smith.
Well again, this falls under the category of we got
to know the whole story before you make an assessment,
like because the initial thing was like Gino Smith, flight
off the handle. No, he's just sort of having fun
with it. And that's what he said. And you know what,

(43:52):
I didn't think we'd hear more about this ka tell
Marte's story. But the reality is that we all agreed
last week. We're like this dirt bag fan talking about
his deceased mother, and we were all in agreement, like
what are we doing right right?

Speaker 5 (44:12):
But we did point out though, and I'm glad Dan
Bayer did that the Martel could tell news about his mom.
That wasn't a story we all knew about. Yeah, that
wasn't like part of this update.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
And from what we understand, and the update is the
fan that got banned for life or you know whatever,
that's a band social media, a band for the for
who knows how long we're we're learning that the thing
he screamed was I texted your mom last night. And

(44:44):
you could argue that that is simply nothing more than
like a lame yo mama joke or like, hey, your mother,
it was a bad yo mama joke to the worst
person possible. And then when the manager got oh man
like yeah, ufen whatever, his mother died, the fan apparently

(45:04):
was remorseful right away, which means could it when we
look at the whole story, could it be that he
just put his foot in his mouth in a major
way and be like, oh your mom not realizing the
guy lost his mom?

Speaker 2 (45:16):
Does that change the story for you at all?

Speaker 1 (45:18):
It does a little bit. Mom's always be off limits.
I mean it was just a yo, mama joke to
the absolute worst person he could probably pick to say
one too, so bad timing. He's made an example of
he's banned for life. Everybody sees his stupid face all
over the place. Now that you know, does the punishment
and the amount of attention that the story got does

(45:42):
it match the actual crime.

Speaker 4 (45:45):
I am glad you guys brought this up because this
was a bone that I wanted to pick, and I
talked about it a little bit yesterday with my Sunday
show with Mike Harmen because I said something when you
were talking about it, Commune, because I disagreed with you
on that day. I said, one of the reasons why
I felt so strongly about it was because I don't
think that this escapes Martel or Marte for just it

(46:11):
coming and going like this is going to stick with him.
It's stuck with him. The next day, then he goes
to Arizona. Then there's the standing ovation and I just
bring this up. Do you know that he's two for
sixteen since the incident. Wow, and he struck out for
the first time this season, struck out three times in
a game on Friday night, struck out two more times

(46:32):
in the game prior to that on Wednesday. So you
don't tell me this hasn't affected him for everything that
went down. So excuse me if I feel sorry. I
don't feel sorry for the fan. Even though it's you know,
wrong place, wrong time, there are consequences to it, and
it's obviously had an effect on Cotel Marte, where again

(46:54):
he did homer twice this weekend. Those were his only
two hits that he's had since the incident. And it
just doesn't seem necessarily like everything is aoka in that
sort of world.

Speaker 1 (47:04):
It's so tough, you know why, because we often preach
here on the Coveno and Rich show, well would you
do it?

Speaker 2 (47:09):
So why would we defend something I don't.

Speaker 4 (47:11):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (47:12):
I don't like to defend jokes all that much, but
I do understand how innocent you omama joke could be? Right,
your mama is so short you could see her feet
and her license photo Like, okay, that's funny.

Speaker 2 (47:24):
Your mama.

Speaker 1 (47:24):
So you say that you wore a Malcolm X shirt
and a helicopter landed on her. You say that to
someone who just lost their mom or is super sensitive.
Now you said it to the wrong person. But guess what,
here's the flip side to that. We've all said something
at a place or foot and mouth sort of situation
where we meant no harm by it, and this guy

(47:45):
just did it on the on the highest of levels possible,
like Spot put his foot in his mouth at our
convention recently. What happened, I can't say, but he brought
up somebody who was deceased and like, oh, man, I
forgot or I didn't know, you know, And that's sort
of awkward because it happened sometimes. But this just became
a national story. So now that you know what he said, Hey, yo,

(48:09):
I texted your mom last night, which seems kind of harmless,
really turned out to be not harmless at all.

Speaker 2 (48:17):
He's two for sixteen.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
Sis the show. I keep telling you that I know
you're never gonna walk. Maybe Dan Bierl because he's a
golf fan. But stick with Owen Wilson on Apple TV.

Speaker 2 (48:27):
Like getting paid by Apple TV.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
It's like everything he watched there is the best are
you trying to make the most of your subscription? I
think Apple TV has some of the best stuff. I
think rich do you watch corny documentaries on their payday?
They watch about poop. I will back him up, Cavino.
Their shows are well made.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Where I want it.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
On this Apple endorsement that Richard I paid, just he's
getting paid every time he shouts him, It's not true
at all. I wish they did big Apple rich over here. Yeah,
Big Apple, Dicky. So my point is on the show,
there was a scene where someone did the whole like,
well you wantn't know because you don't have kids, and
they said that to someone who lost a kid, and

(49:04):
like that can be like you're not herring, you woantn't know,
and it's like you're not you don't think you know
he lost his kids, And see how that person would be,
you know, infurious. So but the other person just didn't know.
But I'm so torn on this because, like Dan said,
and you and I with the Coveno on ritual, I'm
not sticking up for someone that did some dumb crap
I wouldn't do. I would never yell at someone yeah

(49:25):
you mother, So I can't stick up for him, But
I do see the corny innocence of a your mama
joke said to an athlete who unfortunately lost his mom
in a tragic he just.

Speaker 2 (49:35):
Did a couple of weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Things we love about baseball here, no one said your
mama jokes?

Speaker 2 (49:41):
Now, I said.

Speaker 4 (49:42):
Chatter right that Chad's great, Yes, and there's and that
comes within it. But I just feel that there's consequences,
and when you're in a ballpark that's mostly empty, I mean,
the White Sox aren't good, you know, so who's dying
to go to a White Sox Diamondbacks game?

Speaker 2 (49:56):
The Pope clothes?

Speaker 5 (49:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
By the way, Dan, I'm not trying to contrarian here,
but part of the chatter we had in my high
school team was making fun of each other's mom all
the time.

Speaker 2 (50:05):
I'm not even kidding. We had songs about everybody's mom.

Speaker 4 (50:08):
But but you're not saying, you're like, come on, get
pitching strikes. You know your mama's fat.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Come on. Now, we're not saying but.

Speaker 1 (50:14):
Now that we know what he said, right, because weren't
you weren't you expecting like the worst sort of thing. Yeah,
now that you hear it, it is a lot more
innocent than we thought.

Speaker 2 (50:24):
Yeah, Soul is the same.

Speaker 5 (50:26):
Now it seems like he should have been banned for
the season, not for lots. It's like a definite band.
It's considered an indefinite band.

Speaker 4 (50:34):
I think that's honestly, guys, I think it's a perfect
spot for a quote unquote learning experience. Here you go,
you know, have the guy do something or be involved
in something. He's twenty two, he's young enough to know
like make a make a change or do something about.

Speaker 2 (50:50):
It to I like that. I love that. In fact,
that unity.

Speaker 5 (50:54):
Service for him to get access back.

Speaker 1 (50:56):
Oh, I love him to apologize, like publicly, or get
them together and just be like I just didn't know.
But the PSA is you never know what people are
going through. Did you just create this that would be
an MLB You never know. You never know, you know,
a little campaign on, you know, just talking ass about.

Speaker 2 (51:13):
What you might not realize.

Speaker 1 (51:14):
Hey, I'm a Duibus mcgert whatever the kid's name is.
I regret what I said to Kutel Marte and I apologize.

Speaker 2 (51:21):
Martell gives him a hug, you know why.

Speaker 1 (51:24):
But the truth is, you never know what anyone's going through,
and I apologize the truth and then it goes to
one you never know, you never know, brought to you
by MLB. So hey, knowing the whole story is important.
But again, I always think we should all go by
the Caveni on Rich golden rule. It's not treat others
how you want to be treated. That's that's the golden rule.
The Kaveno on Rich golden rule is when someone athlete, celebrity, musicians,

(51:47):
someone gets in trouble and your instinct is like, well
should I defend them? Ask yourself, well, would I do that?

Speaker 2 (51:54):
Would you do that?

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Would I scream out of your mama joke to an
MLB ballplayer? Probably not. I would say definitely not some guy.
But as you know, I'm definitely a little different than
what I some young player cheating on his girlfriend. You're like, yeah,
I would have done that. I was dumb in my
twenties too.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
I accept that it's always a punk move when you
know they're in a position of power or or a
high stakes kind of career job and they can't really
say anything back. That's always a like you.

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Know what, it's uh again. Whatever the scenario is, when
you see some athlete get behind the wheel when they're drunk.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
I want to do that. Why would you?

Speaker 1 (52:30):
You know, like you're defending people in scenarios, always ask yourself,
would I because there are times you will you'd be like,
you know, I would like, hey, I was out and uh,
you know, out in the mountain. I did something dumb
like people do dumb things. But you got to ask yourself.
I use the example of rolling through a stop sign.
We've all done it, and then you hit somebody on
a bike and there are different consequences, and that's in
so that same thing you hit somebody, it's I mean, yeah,

(52:54):
that's where and that's where.

Speaker 4 (52:56):
Like it's wrong place, wrong time. But he's not the
innocent one here. He's not the victim in all of this.

Speaker 1 (53:02):
And now you know the rest of the story, and
did it change your opinion on it? Eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox, And remember everybody's going through something different.

Speaker 2 (53:15):
You never know.

Speaker 1 (53:16):
And now we ask you for your phone calls if
you want to play Last One Standing, because that's next
for the coveted, highly coveted Swiggy because we only have
like five we oo as our stainless steel Midnight black
Water Bottle and by the way times change of how
we receive and deliver messages. Right, our buddy Michael Yoh,
what's up?

Speaker 2 (53:34):
Yeah, Vegas?

Speaker 1 (53:35):
He goes, you know, he interviews a lot of celebrities
doing their stuff he does on TV. And he said, uh,
remember back in the day, it was so common to
ask a celebrity like, Yo, you're gonna have kids or what?
And now it's like, we don't know who can have
kids or not. And there like many questions we've asked
or things or things you threw around.

Speaker 2 (53:54):
So nilly willy, I.

Speaker 1 (53:56):
Was on a real event and Michael Yo could probably
relate to this too. And you're there, you're just scramming, scramming, scramrambling,
really scrambling. We're scrambling, will you You're scrambling for questions
to ask these people, right, scrammling. And I go to
this celebrity at the time, So you're here to party,
have a good time, getting trash tonight. I meant, by

(54:18):
the way, I meant nothing by that. But it was
an actress who was like recovering.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Yeah, she took it.

Speaker 1 (54:26):
Close, and she took it all personal and got like
major attitude with me. But all I was really saying,
is yo, you're here to have some fun tonight. But
I was just asking a dumb question. I'm a twenty
year old broadcaster.

Speaker 5 (54:37):
And it sounds like a Curby your Enthusiasm plot.

Speaker 2 (54:40):
Yeah, that's infensitive.

Speaker 5 (54:42):
Rita with one of our callers a few weeks back, remember.

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Oh yeah, they were they were recovering alcoholic yeah, and
I was like, hey, you sound drunk, and he goes,
I've been cleaned for ten years.

Speaker 5 (54:51):
I'm like, I'm sorry that happened.

Speaker 2 (54:54):
That's right.

Speaker 1 (54:54):
And this just happened on the highest of levels where
the whole world took note.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Daniel in San Jose, what's up, Daniel.

Speaker 8 (55:04):
Hey, how's it going?

Speaker 2 (55:05):
What's ahead? Quick? Hey?

Speaker 7 (55:08):
So is that with a friend of mine.

Speaker 8 (55:09):
One time we were at a tavern and he asked
the bartender when are you due? And she goes, not pregnant?

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Well, dude, we witness at a serious exam back of
the day and the woman got real match. She's like,
I'm not pregnant, I'm just fat and walked away. Were
and I witnessed this and we're yeah, never say that,
never never assumed pregnancy. That's why I just rubbed the
billion and say he's going to be a soccer player.

Speaker 2 (55:35):
Charles and Wheeling, West Virginia. Hey, Charleston, how's it going.

Speaker 8 (55:39):
I really appreciate the call.

Speaker 2 (55:41):
What's up?

Speaker 8 (55:41):
Yeah, I was just interested in this whole situation because
I don't think the punishment fits the crime. I think
in this situation, yeah, the guy said something terrible, but
I think that is a part of dealing with the
fan base. It's kind of a part of the player's
contract to have to deal with that. Even though what
happened is absolutely terrible, I don't think he should be

(56:04):
indefinitely banned because of that.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
I think we're we're all feeling that the indefinite is
a little extreme now that we're hearing this. It's a
lesson that we learn over and over again. That's to
get the whole story before you make an assumption. Remember
at the Olympics, we all thought that boxer was a man,
but it was like, yeah, she was a biological woman
and everything.

Speaker 2 (56:22):
We got it wrong.

Speaker 4 (56:23):
You gotta know the whole story, and indefinite is just
they don't know how long it's gonna go. Doesn't mean
it's infinity, you know, it's like it's indefinite. They haven't
said maybe it's the rest of this year. Who knows,
but they just haven't put in an end date though.

Speaker 1 (56:35):
True yet one last one Andy and Rhode Island. Then
we play our game What's Up Andy? By somebody?

Speaker 8 (56:42):
When I look at it, fans can be idiots. I
definitely understand that. But what seems that seems.

Speaker 7 (56:48):
That was Fay, What are you going to go to
kissing idiots?

Speaker 5 (56:51):
You know, you gotta weigh it out, and it's it's
tough because it's harms.

Speaker 8 (56:55):
I definitely don't agree with you know, how we made
the player felt but a face. You know, fans have
too much power.

Speaker 2 (57:02):
How about that?

Speaker 8 (57:02):
They have too much power. They can say what they want,
and it's us for the athlete at times, so I
do side with the athlete. But you know, just play
a little bit.

Speaker 1 (57:11):
It's true and remember fans, remember people. There's always consequences
and that's what we're witnessing. So thank you for hanging
out with us, Covino and Rich and now it's time
for the last one standing.

Speaker 3 (57:24):

You know I was still thrown off this category. I'm
making I'm rich here making making making excuses. I know
that there was an article, Danny G that you and
I were sharing about how like Dodgers that might not
even deserve it or on it because big markets beat
out small markets, which is why when I said Eli
de la Cruz, I knew I was wrong right away,
because part of the article was how it got like.

Speaker 2 (01:04:08):
Mookie Betts is losing to him and everything.

Speaker 1 (01:04:11):
A nice social media buzz that I agree with completely
about like fan voting for MLB is so lame, like

in the All Star team? Yeah, that's why I just
picked a lot of Dodgers. Yeah. I saw that Mookie

And by the way, if you want to check out
this article, it's MSN dot com, Fox Sports.

Speaker 2 (01:04:59):
I'm I thought he was getting snuffed.

Speaker 1 (01:05:01):
The point is, if you're not following, there's a lot
of undeserving players that just get a ton of votes
when other dudes are having monster seasons, they just don't
have the votes.

Speaker 5 (01:05:10):
That's stupid on the board, so far, so far. Buyer Coveno,
third round here, King of the Boards. You have five
seconds to name an NBA team that the great Dennis
Rodman had a career high of twenty six or more
rebounds against in a single game.

Speaker 2 (01:05:24):
Against Yeah again against, So this.

Speaker 5 (01:05:26):
Is pulled out at least twenty six or more boards
against these teams, there's fifteen answers on the board. Covino,
you're gonna be at first, starting right now.

Speaker 6 (01:05:35):
The Knicks nix uh a ton of us, the nets,
the nets, the.

Speaker 5 (01:05:45):
Buyer out, Lakers, Lakers, Oh wait, wait to help them.
