This is an I Heart podcast.
Unknown Speaker
These days I can do anything from my phone book, a vacation order, a meal from a five star restaurant, buy and trade stocks. But maybe the most amazing thing I can do is make my dirty laundry disappear and then reappear perfectly washed and folded. I have rinse to thank for that. I just schedule a pickup in the Rinse app or@rinse.com A Rinse valet comes to get my clothes and before I know it they they're back, crisply folded and ready to wear. They even do dry cleaning which is returned hanging in a nice rinse garment bag. And with rinse my satisfaction is guaranteed. If for any reason I'm not happy, they'll re clean my clothes for free. Best of all, Rinse saves me tons of time each week. That's time I get to do something I love versus something I have to do. So if you want to save loads of time by not doing loads of laundry, remember there's an app for that rinse. Sign up now and get $20 off your first order at rinse.com that's R I N S E dot com summer's.

Promise. Let's go over promised. Our bonus pod, Covino Enrich from Fox Sports Radio Monday through Friday 2 to 4 on the west, 5 to 7 on the east. Search Covino and Rich wherever you stream your podcast. And this is our bonus show. But not just any bonus show. It's our hundredth episode. Yeah, 100 episodes of over promised 100 episodes. Because this guy over promises things we never get to. But we do here on the show. And today, not only do we celebrate 100 episodes, we celebrate one of your heroes, one of your heroes birthdays. Today we talk fights. Golf fights.
Rich
Yep.
Unknown Speaker
In particular. But right now, we battle Covino and Rich. We battle the world of hot takes. Hot cakes. Yeah, I'm all for them. I love me some juicy, glistening cakes.
Rich
Oh, you talk about like, pancakes or like actual, like, hot cakes?
Covino
Both.
Unknown Speaker
But hot takes, I'm over it. I got hot take fatigue. Because I question all the time, do you really believe that? And we're guys that have made a living in broadcasting, you know, I think that we believe what we say.
Rich
Are you saying it took you till 20, 25 to have hot take fatigue?
Unknown Speaker
I think it took me to have people going against Aaron judge my guy, see this guy here on my desk. Give me a break. We got to talk to the world of hot takes. Or as kiddos call it, rage bait. We need to be more aware. Are you just saying some outlandish shit so it goes viral, or do you really believe that? Like, I'm all for great broadcasting and to get people's attention, but do you really believe that shit? And this discussion has to do with the AL mvp, by the way, your.
Rich
Daughter uses the term rage bait. I feel like this applies to sports hot takes. And there are times where someone will say some shit offends them. And I'm like, does it really? Or are you rage baiting me like when someone will say this offended someone like who?
Unknown Speaker
Or they say things intentionally dumb just to get people to respond and reply. Like come on dude, there's no way you really thought that or you really think that you're just rage baiting. You're just trying to say some contrarian shit right now. Because a guy I respect, a guy I really like and we need to make that clear because I really do love this guy and what he does for baseball. Ben Verlander Justin Verlander's brother.
Rich
Yeah, he's great.
Unknown Speaker
He's great. I love his attitude. I love his his content when it comes to baseball.
Rich
And in fact I think he'd be a great guest on Over Promise. He's a. He loves baseball. We love baseball.
Unknown Speaker
Exactly. Hey Ben, we love your stuff. I think you're great at what you do and you're a great content creator and a great baseball guy. He built his life around baseball. Right.
Rich
He got a home run off his.
Unknown Speaker
Brother once he did. So I'm a fan. I got to make clear. But there's no way I believe that he believes or even if he does believe, there's no way I agree with him on the AL MVP power rankings. Have you seen him?
Rich
I have and I'm not a Yankees fan. And I'm going to let you take it away because I got your back. I'm not even going to argue you on this. So take a look at these rankings because this is redonkulous.
Unknown Speaker
It's ridiculous because not to take away from Cal Raleigh and his amazing season. What do you think he was going to say? His amazing ass and his big dumper. But there's no way he's ahead of Aaron Judge when it comes to the AL MVP power rankings. And the stats prove it. And I'll explain. But to be fair, let's hear what Ben Verlander had to say about it. Take a listen now.
Rich
This is pretty crazy.
Unknown Speaker
It's ridiculous.
Ben Verlander
Number one in my American League MVP power rankings. I am going to take Cal Raleigh. I know I'm going to get flack for this because Aaron Judge is hitting.360. But what Cal Raleigh is doing while catching is absolutely phenomenal. Cal rally has 35 home runs, 74 RBIs and yes, over a thousand nine stolen bases. For Cal Raleigh to be doing what he is doing as a catcher, playing every day behind the plate, catching, leading a pitching staff, leading a defense and hitting at this level is unprecedented. Defensively, he hasn't allowed a single pass ball all season long. Cal Raleigh is the AL MVP right now. I do have Aaron Judge obviously right on his heels. He's number two for me. He's hitting.360. He has 33 homers. He has a 1.202 OPS.74.
Unknown Speaker
You can cut it off because I'll defend Aaron Judge all day. Are we going to rob Aaron Judge from another mvp? He's having a Triple Crown type of season. An unprecedented season like we've never seen before, especially for a right hand hitter. And guess what? He's no slouch when it comes to defense. I know we have this image of him in the World Series, but he's a phenomenal defender and they're both equally impactful to their team. Give me a break now. I want to take it back. He was robbed in 2017 when Altuve got the MVP. Give me a break. That cheater. Aaron Judge had 52 home runs and 114 RBIs in 2017. So he should be heading toward his fourth MVP.
Rich
Aaron Judge is going to have those numbers by August.
Unknown Speaker
Yes. So Aaron Judge now has 34 home runs and 77 RBI. Raleigh has 36 home runs, 76 RBI. So that's pretty much on par. Yeah.
Rich
Any given day, one could hop over the other in the. In the, you know, standings.
Unknown Speaker
But here's where the conversation ends. Aaron Judge is batting 360.
Rich
That's like Wade Boggs in the 80s.
Unknown Speaker
That's almost 100 points higher. That's Tony Gwyn. 360 to 265. Aaron Judge has 122 hits. Th Raleigh's 88. Now, is it insane that out of 88 hits, 36 of them are home runs? Absolutely. Cal Rawley wins as far as catchers. It's legendary. It's amazing. He wins as far as giant asses in baseball and great nicknames. He has a better nickname.
Rich
Congrats, Big dumper.
Unknown Speaker
But halfway through the season, if it continues on this way, there is no way at all, as much as I love Ben.
Rich
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
That Aaron Judge is not your AL mvp. Aaron Judge. This guy right here.
Rich
Aaron Judge leads the league. And get this. Runs, hits, slugging OPS on base percentage, walks, intentional walks, total bases like cheeks.
Unknown Speaker
But Cal wins an ass. The big dumper.
Rich
I mean, you are an ass guy.
Unknown Speaker
Does he get bonus.
Rich
Does he get bonus points?
Unknown Speaker
I like my women like I like my Mariners catchers.
That ass is batting a thousand.
Seriously. So he gets all the credit in the world there. I'm not trying to take anything away now. This might all change by the end of the season. But as of now, you guys are smoking if you see it any other way. And is this a matter of. Yeah, I feel this way. You're entitled to feel any way you want. But be realistic about it.
Rich
I mean, if Aaron Judge ends the season batting roughly 3. 50 with 60 plus homers and about 150 RBI, like, that's one of the best seasons ever.
Unknown Speaker
That's also unprecedented. Like, give me a break.
Rich
So to me, you know what it is? It's also, it's.
Unknown Speaker
It's just an angle or something different to say.
Rich
In my opinion, it's also Aaron Judge. Fitz, there's a lot of people that think Jokic could just keep winning NBA MVPs, but people are like, jokic again? Yeah, Jokic again. How about Aaron Judge again? Barry Bonds prevented Albert Pujols from getting a bunch more mvp. So I mean, listen, how many times did pool holster a guy like that have a career year? But hey, sucks. Barry Bonds is playing. Aaron Judge is playing. He's. He's doing what he does. Sorry, Cal rally like.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, and to be clear, he only has two official MVPs. So the fatigue is from where he's great. He deserves his third if he continues on this way. So is this just a hot take? And Ben's not the only guy saying it. Ben Verlander. A lot of people are saying it.
Rich
On the other side of things. Do you think that. Is there any Shohei Ohtani fatigue where maybe like a pca if he steps it up or like if Soto continues to play like he did over the last month?
Unknown Speaker
Honestly, the. The way, the way it's so obviously Shohei. It's even more obvious that it's Aaron Jones back in the three 60s.
Rich
Dude, your thoughts at Kobe Nonrich at Fox Sports Radio. It really is. I agree. The hot take culture is we live in it. But to me, when a guy's batting 100 points, that right there alone, even.
Unknown Speaker
In a world where batting average doesn't mean as much, isn't that crazy impressive that this power slugger still is hitting for average like that? We should tip our Yankee hats to the guy, not try to take away to give props. Cal Raleigh gets all the props in the world for what he's doing. Don't take away from Judge. As a result, he has a golden ass.
Rich
Like a Gold Glove golden ass. You know what?
Unknown Speaker
The golden ass. There it is. He wins. Props to Cal Raleigh. And props to people pushing the competition. Maybe this pushes Judge to play even harder and we'll see what happens?
Rich
What if he leans into it and just starts putting padding in his compression shorts underneath his uniform? Just keeps getting more bold.
Unknown Speaker
Nice, nice. We'll see what happens by the end of the year. Thank you, Ben Verlander. We'd love to have you on the show.
Rich
Calorie is going to be in Megan Thee Stallion video. Is that true?
Unknown Speaker
Is that true?
Rich
Yeah, I think so.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah. He leads the league in twerks. Twerk ass claps to him. So we get a lot of criticism. Covino and Rich. I could just stop right there. Who are these jabronis for? Not talking enough hockey, right? Yeah. So let's talk some hockey fights, shall we? Hockey fights on a cross as you.
Rich
For no hockey talk.
Unknown Speaker
You're Canadian bros. All my guys in Canada.
Rich
Oh, your Manitoba pals.
Unknown Speaker
Do you guys know former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnaski? Chances are you probably do now because he went viral this week. Nick. There he is, the goon himself, Nick Tarnaski. Now, this story caught on like wildfire because everybody loves some controversy and a nice brawl. This happened this past holiday weekend, 4th of July weekend at Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta, Canada.
Rich
By the way, NHL has dental coverage, right?
Unknown Speaker
Yes, yes, yes. Those are bragging rights. Yeah.
Are you really a goon if you haven't lost the tooth?
Teeth means don't mess with this guy. So an ugly brawl ensued, but we only saw pretty much one side of the story.
Rich
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
We have an extended video here to share with you on over. Promise to see if it changes your perspective at all, because the way it was edited in the clip we got, it did tell the story.
Rich
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
But it just shows this guy raging out and. And then getting what we think he deserves, right?
Rich
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam.
Unknown Speaker
The clip we all saw that went viral this week is a guy just.
Covino
Raging out like, I'm on the golf course, I'll f you up.
Unknown Speaker
And NHL enforcer says, really, I'm the real tough guy. Bang, bang, bang. Beats his ass and tosses him around.
Rich
Ragdolls in a lake and then midair.
Unknown Speaker
I'm not saying that the drunk guy that got his ass beat didn't deserve it, but he did sort of hold back for a long time before he started raging out. So it's a matter how much poking can you take before you just sort of lose it. So let's just see some more footage, extended footage, and see if it changes your perception.
Rich
Are you giving us the whole story?
Unknown Speaker
I mean, it's the first extended clip I've seen, so we share this yet.
Rich
So let's. Let's take a look up there or.
Covino
You'Re gonna get booted the out of here. You're not a tough guy. Hurry up. I'll promise you that. Hurry up.
Unknown Speaker
So he's kind of reserved. Just dealing with it. I know he was acting belligerent the.
Covino
Whole time, but you're not tough.
Rich
You're not tough.
Covino
Let's get going. Get going. Or you can play behind us all and you can take all the time you want. This is not. Yeah. It's not minutes. You can't even.
Unknown Speaker
You guys can't even stand and tear.
Covino
Ball up, man.
Rich
I love those Canadian accents.
Covino
Need to get the police out here.
Unknown Speaker
Your bally.
Rich
Oh, please.
Covino
Out here.
Unknown Speaker
So he's kind of walking away, right? They humiliated him a little bit. He probably deserved it.
Covino
Throw him in this leak.
Unknown Speaker
They keep going on premonition.
Rich
I'm going to throw him in this lake.
Covino
Right.
Unknown Speaker
And he did. So as granted, he's drunk and he's being belligerent, but there's only so much you could hear being said about you.
Covino
It cry you. I'm a like cry.
Unknown Speaker
Booty.
Covino
I don't give a like badly. Good. Let's. Oh, now.
Rich
Oh, now. Let's go. This is where we pick it up.
Covino
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
The gloves coming off.
Covino
No, I'm not filming this. The golf club.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, no.
Covino
He did walk away. Course now he's getting raged. Oh, no. Oh, no.
Rich
We all know he's about to get tossed to the lake. He doesn't know it.
Covino
You're not scaring anybody. You're just making.
Unknown Speaker
All right. He starts it.
Rich
Oh, there we go.
Covino
Come on, man. Lake and the lake. Hey, off to good start, buddy. I pulled you.
Unknown Speaker
I love that line. Like an alligator.
Rich
I think I did all on the record.
Unknown Speaker
Bang, bang.
Covino
Bang, bang. Come on, man.
Rich
Now the toss is coming.
Unknown Speaker
I've seen paintings of the toss.
Covino
Get out.
Rich
Like a rag doll.
Covino
Get him the out of here. No, it's not gonna go well. It's not. Okay.
Unknown Speaker
All right. Then they stop it. We all see. Do we remember this legendary moment.
Rich
Edgar's fall, when the kid fell on the. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Edgar's fall turned into a classic. It's a great moment in Mexican history.
Rich
It's a beautiful painting.
Unknown Speaker
It's one of my favorites. It is now a painting. I've seen paintings of the toss because it's gone so viral, so monumental and so awesome moment. This is definitely grown into a thing where Nick Tarnaski, they're investigating the story more because he does Work with like a hockey club. So the hockey club is still under is investigating the story. Law enforcement is not investigating the story, as far as I know. But does it change your perspective here? Again, no one likes a drunken buffoon and anywhere, especially a golf course. But he did walk away. He was still being antagonized. I'm just wondering if it makes you feel any different, because what we saw was just some guy raging right from the beginning.
Rich
I mean, I felt like they were. They were both provoking each other. And the hockey guy, Nick, just stronger, better fighter. Like, it could have went either way. They're fighting over, like waiting for t t times and stuff. I mean, to me, it's a great video. I hope no one gets in trouble because, you know, what does he get? A little black eye? He'll be.
Unknown Speaker
Well, I hope not. I would imagine the guy that got his ass whooped doesn't want to be like a public known guy for this thing. But again, the story's still under investigation by the club Tarnaski works for, not authorities. But that's extra bonus footage courtesy of Cavino and Rich on over promised. And I also want to give credit to our boy who's been a guest on this show, Kevin Clancy, KFC of Barstool, because he's the one that introduced this video to us and he had such great commentary about it. But, man, don't let it happen to you. Don't be that drunken idiot. Know when to say when. And you never know who your message.
Rich
Is, but just it's a reminder that it's. It's never a good idea. Like there's that last brain cell you have. Like, yo, I'm going to fight this guy. Like, it didn't turn out the way you wanted, man. You got thrown in a lake. He got tossed. He got the best one. Bang, bang, bang.
Unknown Speaker
You know, when the guy walked away, like you saw him, he was like, really angry. He's defeated. He walks away. He should have just stayed there. Don't let it happen to you. Don't be an idiot. Don't be that guy. And man, Nick Tarnowski. Bam, bam, bam. He's the guy.
Bang.
Speaking of fights, speaking of fights. We all love a good fight. That's why we love this video. There are two big fights coming up. Not this weekend, next weekend. And I just want to get you hyped up for it. All right? We got Manny Pac Man Pacquiao vs. Mario Barrios, the Aztec warrior, bro. The Aztec.
Rich
You're the boy that cried. The fight of the year.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, well, if that one doesn't blow up your skirt. Usyk versus Dubois. 2. Now, Dubois got robbed, remember, because he apparently hit Usyk with a low blow. Did he really knock him out? This is going down the same night, July 19th. I'm just throwing it out there as a warning. If you love a good fight like we do. Hey, look, the boxing glove right here. Yeah. Oh.
Rich
Rocky Bell.
Unknown Speaker
Bo, there is no tomorrow if you like a good fight. We got two coming up again in a few weeks and a few other great fights this summer we'll talk about here on over.
Rich
Promised. Now, there it is.
Unknown Speaker
Usyk.
Rich
Dubois. I will watch that one because that was.
Unknown Speaker
Huh? It's a big one, man.
It's a big one.
And apparently Usyk's already scheduled to fight Fury again for the third one, so he's got to win this one. But Dubois, no punk, dude. So we'll see what happens.
Rich
All those belts are heavy, huh? How many belts is Usyk holding?
Unknown Speaker
Right, yeah.
Rich
Well, this week we celebrated the 69. The 69th birthday.
Covino
69.
Rich
Of a guy that has given us so much joy in the movie and TV world over the last 40, 50 years. Tom Hanks. Wilson, there's no crying in baseball. Look at young Tom Hanks.
Unknown Speaker
With his little redheaded friend.
Kid's 100 years old now.
His little friend with his Annie Lennox haircut. Happy birthday, Tom Hanks. What are you gonna wish for this time? You get a better haircut. Stop it. So. Oh, Shalina.
Covino
Walking down the street ten times a week.
Unknown Speaker
I said it a minute. I broke my mama's credit. I'm cool, I'm hot. Suck me in a circle with that. I don't know.
Rich
So.
Unknown Speaker
Oh, Shelley, I think this.
Rich
I brought this up in the past. Every year, I think we. We make this point. So why not now? On over? Promise?
Unknown Speaker
I said a Triscuit, a biscuit, ice cream, soda pop van.
Rich
As Tom Hanks turns 69, a guy that's brought us so much joy. I have a theory that is fact. No two people have the same four favorite Tom Hanks movies. The catalog is deep. You could name 50 Tom Hanks movies.
Unknown Speaker
Are you saying the Tom Hanks movies are like snowflakes? And Go on.
Rich
And what?
Unknown Speaker
And yes, no two are alike. Is that what you're saying?
Rich
Were you gonna say vaginas?
Unknown Speaker
No, I wasn't, bro. I was thinking. I wasn't gonna say it. No two are the same.
Rich
You could ask a hundred people, and I hate to use the term Mount Rushmore, so I won't so I'll just say your top four Tom Hanks movies because he's done comedies, dramas, your core four Hanks. No two people the same. And I'll give you the proof in the tapioca pudding. Okay, I'll give you my four, and I guarantee right away you're gonna be like, no way.
Unknown Speaker
All right, so these are your top four. In celebration of his 69th, I even.
Rich
Made a snappy little graphic for spot our video guy. My top four Tom Hanks movies are simple. Apollo 13, your Balu, Forrest Gump, Big and Sleepless in Seattle. That is my well balanced old, young, middle aged Tom hanks.
Unknown Speaker
We got two are the same.
Look at that snazzy graphic.
Rich
Apollo 13, a drama that. That had you on the edge of your seat. Forrest Gump might be the one of the greatest movies of all time.
Unknown Speaker
So we're gonna put your theory in.
Rich
Seattle is like a rom com. I've never seen it. That can't be matched.
Unknown Speaker
I never see it. I swear to God, I've never seen it.
Rich
Big, it's just like an 80s comedy that you can't deny.
Unknown Speaker
Okay, now to prove Rich's theory.
Rich
Sleepless in Seattle you've never seen.
Unknown Speaker
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
I feel like you could pick a best Tom Hanks movie by decade.
You could be picking 89 ass cheeks in Seattle starring Cal Raleigh. That's a good one. I've seen that.
Rich
Anyway, what is your top four?
Unknown Speaker
My top four?
Covino
Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Big is in my top four. What? Forest Gump is in my top four.
Cairoli's big asterisks.
And you know what? Recently. Yeah, those are my.
Rich
So Big and Gump we agree on.
Unknown Speaker
But I. I didn't really appreciate Gump until recently. O.
Rich
Okay.
Unknown Speaker
But yeah, Big and Gump are the two commonalities. But dude, I love me some early, funny Tom Hanks Splash. No, Bachelor Party is in my top four. That was my introduction to Tom Hanks, and he was a funny dude. I miss funny Tom Hanks. So I love bachelor party. I think that's great. An 80s classic. Big Forest Gump and Cast Away. Dude, I love that one.
Rich
That's a good one. I think they'll, like, see, you know what the runners up for me, like, I'm thinking, ooh, Terminal was great. I love Terminal.
Unknown Speaker
You know what? When you have catch me if you can, I mean, there's.
Rich
I mean, you leave them off because you can only pick four.
Unknown Speaker
The theory is a testament to his versatility and his versatility and the classic movies he's Made Everybody has a different favorite. And I think you're onto something. Not everybody's gonna have the same four. Because I bet you your four is different than his four.
Rich
As we wrap up over Promise, what are your four?
Unknown Speaker
Don't.
Don't involve me in this because mine. Mine are. Are all over the place.
I don't know.
Forest Cup, I think is. Is a legendary film.
Rich
Are you putting it on your for.
Unknown Speaker
Though I would put it on my top four. I feel like you're gonna put.
Rich
You're gonna put League of their Own.
Unknown Speaker
I bet League of their Own is a fantastic. And I've always said about League of their Own Hanks, it's the key transition from his 80s goofiness into his 90s legendary status.
Okay.
Because that's when he started. He got all serious. He did Gump, he did Apollo 13. But right before that, Philadelphia, their own Philadelphia was that transition from like, he was a little bit like wild and wacky, you know, there's no crying in baseball. His delivery in that movie was just so great. It was a perfect trans position for me from. Yeah. 80s to 90s Hank Hanks.
Rich
You know, if anyone needers in there, that's that thing you did.
Unknown Speaker
He wasn't a primary character. I'd have to look at it.
That's an underrated movie, though.
Yeah. I. I just love hang so much and I almost want to. Like I said, pick one per decade. No, you gotta just share the wealth, play the game.
Rich
Give me your other two.
Unknown Speaker
All right, Give me a second. Talk amongst yourselves.
Rich
I can't thinking about this that hard.
Unknown Speaker
Yes, it's really important statistic.
Well, while we wait for spots final. Wait for that. No, I just want to remind you guys that next week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, we're filling in for the Dan Patrick show again. So wake up early with us. But we're doing it live Atlanta for the MLB All Stars. And I want to thank you guys for all your votes. We were voted into the all stars number one show. Thank you. Covino and Rich, proud to be there representing. But tune in and listen in as you never know who's going to stop by because there's some legends that are going to be there next week in Atlanta.
Rich
I mean, it's going to be tough. He's in Atlanta. Who's going to have the best ass? Some girl at Magic City or Cal. Raleigh.
Unknown Speaker
Whose dumper's the biggest? We don't know.
Like, how do you ignore a Green Mile or how do you ignore a saving Private Ryan?
Rich
This guy can't even come up with a top four. That's it proves your point.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, it's like.
It's just.
It's the Da Vinci Code. I love the Dan Brown version.
All right, well, hey, guys, Toy Story.
The voice of Tom Hanks. How do you ignore that?
Happy birthday, Tom Hanks. Thank you for all the greatness. Happy 69th. And thank you over promised nation, Fox Sports Radio for hanging with us for 100 over promised episodes.

Podcast Summary: The Dan Patrick Show - AL MVP Hot Take & Golf Course Goon | Ep #100
Episode Information:
Timestamp: 03:11 - 03:54
Celebrating their 100th episode, hosts Covino and Rich kick off the show with enthusiasm and humor. They introduce themselves as presenters from Fox Sports Radio and express gratitude to their audience for reaching this milestone. The hosts emphasize the theme of "overpromising" playfully, setting the tone for a discussion filled with bold opinions and spirited debates.
Timestamp: 03:54 - 12:24
Covino and Rich delve into the intense world of sports hot takes, particularly focusing on the American League (AL) Most Valuable Player (MVP) race. They express "hot take fatigue," questioning the sincerity behind some bold opinions in sports broadcasting.
Covino raises a critical point:
"Do you just believe that? Are you just saying some outlandish shit so it goes viral, or do you really believe that?"
(04:23)
Inviting Ben Verlander, a respected figure in baseball analysis, they discuss his controversial stance on the AL MVP rankings. Ben boldly asserts:
"Number one in my American League MVP power rankings, I am going to take Cal Raleigh."
(06:57)
Despite appreciating Aaron Judge's remarkable performance, Ben argues that Cal Raleigh's all-around contributions as a catcher—highlighting his statistics and defensive prowess—make him the frontrunner for MVP.
Rich counters passionately:
"Aaron Judge is going to have those numbers by August. So, as much as I love Ben, there's no way Aaron Judge is not your AL MVP."
(07:51)
The debate intensifies with Rich defending Judge's exceptional batting average and overall impact:
"He's having a Triple Crown type of season... a phenomenal defender."
(07:51)
The hosts compare key statistics:
(08:31 - 08:56)
Rich emphasizes the historical significance of Judge's performance, likening his batting average to legends like Wade Boggs.
Covino playfully adds:
"Cal Raleigh wins as far as giant asses in baseball and great nicknames. He has a better nickname."
(09:25)
As the conversation wraps up, Covino and Rich reinforce their support for Aaron Judge, expressing skepticism about the validity of Cal Raleigh's MVP claims despite his impressive numbers.
"I like my women like I like my Mariners catchers. That ass is batting a thousand."
(10:00)
They conclude that while Cal Raleigh is deserving, Aaron Judge's continued stellar performance makes him the rightful MVP, cautioning against the overuse of hot takes that may cloud objective analysis.
Timestamp: 12:24 - 19:52
Transitioning from baseball, Covino and Rich pivot to a viral video featuring Nick Tarnaski, an NHL enforcer, involved in a brawl at the Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta. The incident, captured over the 4th of July weekend, shows Tarnaski engaging in a heated altercation with a drunk patron.
The hosts play an extended clip of the altercation, highlighting key moments where Tarnaski confronts the belligerent individual.
Covino narrates:
"You’re reserved, just dealing with it, but he was antagonized until he lost it."
(15:08)
Rich reflects on the dynamics:
"I mean, they were both provoking each other. It could have gone either way."
(18:20)
They debate whether the aggressive response was justified or excessive. While acknowledging the man's drunken state, Covino emphasizes accountability:
"Don't be that drunken idiot. Know when to say when."
(19:18)
Rich adds a humorous yet cautionary note:
"It's never a good idea. You don’t know who you're dealing with."
(19:34)
Ultimately, Covino and Rich agree that while the initial provocations were uncalled for, the resultant violence serves as a stark reminder of the importance of self-control and the potential consequences of aggressive behavior.
Timestamp: 19:52 - 26:38
Shifting gears, the hosts celebrate Tom Hanks' 69th birthday, acknowledging his vast contributions to film and pop culture.

Rich elaborates:
"Apollo 13 had you on the edge of your seat. Forrest Gump is one of the greatest movies of all time."
(23:44)
Covino emphasizes the transitional phase in Hanks' career:
"League of Their Own is a perfect transition from his 80s goofiness into his 90s legendary status."
(25:35)
The hosts propose that Hanks' film catalog is so extensive and varied that individual preferences for his movies are unique, reinforcing their initial theory.
Covino muses:
"Every year, we make this point. So why not now?"
