And you brought it up earlier today when we were hanging that it's the Love island rage. Is everyone just that bored with the ending of the NHL and the NBA? Baseball trash of the highest regard. I mean, it is like the highest level, but the NG nailed it. It's not that people of our generation should like it at all. If you do, I'd question your mentality. I mean, a lot of people love it, dude. No, a lot of people love it, but they're under like 25. Yeah, it is for younger people. So the fun in it for our generation is young people watching just to see how dumb they are and to see what they're talking about and to catch up on some of the goofy things they say. So it's like, you know, when you go to Vegas, we just came back from Vegas. One of the best parts of Vegas is people watching the one shoe dirty foot club stumblers that come stumbling out of the club at night with one shoe on. You know, it's just fun to watch them. Yeah, fun to watch what they're wearing and. And what they're talking about, what they're doing. That's what you get from this show. It's a train wreck. And it's on every night. Like DDG mentioned yesterday, I'm fascinated. Much like, you know, you get all this uncensored content on streaming services and you wonder, you know, how does a Bachelor survive? It's not going to. It can't survive when you have Love island and everything's uncensored. Cheeks are out. They throw butts on the Bachelor. Meanwhile, on Love island, they're like, that's why it's not renewed. They do slow mo ass shaking. Here's the lesson in a nutshell. Don't get beat in your own game, ever in life. Don't be the blockbuster of life and get beat by Netflix because the Bachelor is gonna get beat by the Love Islands of the world because they just can't compete they didn't pivot to a brand where you could do anything on a streaming service. I didn't realize they can get that raunchy and raw on Peacock, but apparently they can. You've never seen Dan Patrick pull his pants down? No, I haven't. But I guess you can because they do on Love Island. But that being said, it's a modern day soap opera. It's on every night. You follow these young idiots on an island trying to find love. And that's the beauty of sports. It's every night and there's always drama and it's fun and you don't have to see anyone's ass. Well, sometimes you want to see. I mean, sometimes you want it. Not in sports. I will say this, though. You talk about innovate or die. That's the quote of one of our pals, Gary Vaynerchuk. Innovator, die. I feel like the way Love island has made you think the Bachelor is lame. I think baseball took the right pivots over the last couple years. Pitch clock, bigger bases, they like pizza boxes, as Rob Parker says. Well, they have to make those changes because then they'll be beat out by banana ball. Don't get beat in your own game. More bat flips, more, you know, theatrics. I think baseball is pivoting and as you can tell, ratings are up. People are really interested in baseball more than they've been in about a decade. Because I think baseball saw the writing on the wall that it was being considered boring and long. And honestly, things like banana ball were starting to infiltrate. So don' Think things like Big three won't infiltrate the NBA unless they make sense. Come on, you see it happening and that's why you got to applaud Major League Baseball. I think they are in fact realizing that they have the moment to really be big right now because baseball has a lot of young stars right now, especially since there's nothing really else going on. Unless, of course, you're a WNBA fan. Let me tell you, the Dodgers, Padres shenanigans. Tell me that's not good for baseball. Of course it is. How. How do you not love what's going on there? Dude, lean into it. People love it. You know, teams like the Mets and Yankees going through these big losing streaks. A lot of great young pitching you heard Dan Buyer talk about in the update. So, hey, baseball's on fire. And I want to talk about something that went down in baseball last night. Now, this is not a good thing. I think this is trash bag behavior. Well, hold on. We're talking about not getting beat in your own game. It seems like Love Island's beaten Bachelor. Netflix. Netflix. Well, we Hispanics say Netflix fleek. Netflix beat Blockbuster in their own game. Amazon beat Barnes and Noble in their own game. It goes on and on and on because people didn't pivot or change it up. As a broadcaster, should I stand up and cut my sleeves off and just be like Pat McAfee and just stand up the whole time? No sleeves standing. My girlfriend was watching the other day. She's like, why doesn't he sit down? I'm like, I don't know. Maybe I have to look into it. Maybe I'll just stand up the whole time. He occasionally sits down like a high stool. He has a high stool. Since I'm not going to be beating my own game, these sleeves are coming off pretty soon. I'm just letting you know. Good thing you've been doing gun showing arms at the gym. We might change the name of the show to Gun Show. The Gun show with Kavino and Rich. Show and Rich. So that being said, speaking about baseball and some of the pivots they made that keep them relevant because as we've been saying, I quote Deion Sanders, baseball's popping now. It really is. Baseball is popping. There's young superstars. There's lots going on. There's a story in baseball from last night that we have to discuss. Diamondbacks, White Sox, Arizona's Cattel Marte. I can't say young superstar. He's 31. I mean, he's young in life, but he's not necessarily young in baseball. He's been around for a minute. Last couple of years, he's emerged as one of the hot bats in the NL. He's a star. He's an all star. Yeah. Yeah. 320 batting average, which is like 420 in today's world. 15 home runs for an outfielder. We're halfway there. That's a pretty solid season he's building right now. Talk about a guy that's on pace for 30 dingers batting.300. That's. That's top level hitting right now. What's cool about it is he's having a career. Well, he's had a bunch of great years. He had 36 home runs last year, 25 the year before. But it looks like he's on pace for one of his best years ever. This is his 11th plus year in the league, so I'm only saying that to establish that he's a great player. You probably know Katel Marte, but he's not a young guy. And that was, you know, my first thing. Well, he's probably really young, but now I'm like, no, but he's been in the league for a long time. Last night. It's that realization when you're like, damn, we're all getting older. When I'm like, wait, Kevin Durant's been in basketball for 20 years. I know what. And his stats are still the same, though, so props to him. You know, I hate when life passes us by, but you realize that a lot as a sports fan. When you're like, when you heard something not to go to basketball. When you heard Kevin Durant talk about, yeah, like a couple decades in the NBA, I'm like, what? I mean, Aaron Rodgers, 20 years. I know. You mean the guy that's backing up Brett Favre. Oh, yeah, we were kids, damn it. Marte's been in there for a minute now. I know, but he had a moment. And I'm going to be honest, I'm going to give you my first reaction to the moment. He's on the mound. Arizona manager Tory Lavullo got his arm around them. Players got their arm around them. He's sort of sobbing in a moment, caught up in tears. And during the broadcast, they allude to the fact that he must have got bad news. At least that's what I was thinking as well. That was my impression. Like, oh, he must have got some bad news, which could happen. Life happens right when baseball's going on. Something maybe happened. Maybe something happened that day. We don't know what's going on, but he's in tears. Yeah. And come to find out that a 22 year old fan said something about his mom who passed away in a tragic car accident in 2017 in the Dominican Republic. My first reaction was, man, why do you let the fans get to you, dude? Really? You're a big leaguer being heckled all the time. I can't believe you let the fans get to you like that. I didn't judge them by any means, but that was my first reaction. Like, really? You let these dumbass fans get to you like that, bro? I'm surprised you don't have a thicker skin. That really was my first reaction. You're in the big leagues, dude. You ever sit in the bleachers in the Bronx? I've heard some horrible things being said to players. And even a young player has to know or has the ability to tune it out. And they do. I've seen it. So that was my first Reaction. Then I put it up to Spot, because here I am sitting, sitting handsome on this microphone with both my parents at home. So I don't know what it's like to lose a parent tragically like that. And I don't know what could trigger somebody, because we were talking about it before, and that's why we like to have these open discussions, because I know everybody's like, toughen up. There's no crying in baseball. Spot was like, hey, dude, anything could trigger you. And I'm like, you know what? That is true. I could be driving in the car and hear a song that I didn't even know meant anything to me. And all of a sudden, I'm all emotional because, I don't know, maybe it made me think of my daughter or something. I'll stand by you yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? My daughter's a beautiful, successful teenager, but, like, oh, man, I. I never realized I connected that song to her. And something. Folgers commercial could. Could hit you out of nowhere. So maybe because I looked everywhere. Unless Dan Byer has an update, I don't know what this kid said that triggered him, but it could be as simple as that. He was triggered, right, Spotty. Yeah. I mean, you have good days and bad days. There's memories that pop up. Just because time has gone by doesn't make the feeling any less intense. True. This is what, like, eight years ago now, right? Yes, eight years ago. Just. And, like, you were saying things that trigger, like, the worst thing I ever found out, I think Rich told me, was that that song Drops of Jupiter by Train is about his dead mother. And it's like, so now anytime I hear something like that, I'm just bawling my eyes out. It's taking your late mother ye. Yeah. So it's like, you know, things are triggered. And if you're like. Especially in the. I'm sure the heat of competition pulls up all sorts of emotions. That might be the number one triggering song in all the land. It's such a beautiful song. It's a beautiful song. Now that she's back in the atmosphere with drops of Jupiter in her hay soy lattes. I mean, maybe not when I sing it, but my goodness. But if you don't know that song Pat Monahan wrote right after his mother passed away of train. It's about his mom going into the afterlife, traveling through outer space. But, you know, your first instinct was, how does he let those Jackass fans bother me? Honest one, I'm not proud of it, but I'm like, dude, you're a big Leaguer, you're 31. Never let him see you sweat. So the question is, should players have thicker skin or is that understandable when you put it in the perspective of, hey, we're all human and you never know what gets you sometimes? My first instinct, quite the opposite. My instinct was, you're the greatest. Tell me. I'm just kidding. I mean, you can leave it at that. Tell me, what was your first instinct? My first instinct is what piece is what? Pos oh yeah. What type of trash bag do you have to be to taunt someone about their dead family member? Like, that's the type of behavior that that guy deserves a karate kick. But don't you understand that's also like you're giving this loser that much power. Dude, why is the guy gotta be a loser in the first place? He's not a loser. A 22 year old loser says, really going to take it that much to heart? Like, you're a loser. You're here watching me in the stands talking smack, you loser. I'm not going to ever give anybody that much power. By the way, the fan knew that he went overboard because after this indefinite suspension or ban from the ballpark. Yeah, he said it's the article I'm reading here, says he expressed remorse for his actions. Yo, if Kettle Marte kicked this guy in the nuts and left him laying in the parking lot, would anyone be sad about that? That's the funny thing. Like, you know, back in the day, a guy like Ty Cobb would have probably pulled this guy by the collar and punched him right in the nose and called it even. It's not the world we live in anymore. So he had to sit there and deal with it. And whatever was said, and I don't know, but what I do know is that was confirmed. It was confirmed that this dude said this. Confirmed that he was heckling him about his mom. This reminds me of back in the day. Covino went to a game at Yankee Stadium. You probably remember your own story. And the Yankee bleacher creatures, known to be not the most noble of individuals. I mean, they go by creatures. Covino, you have told the story where I forget who there was. There was a player on a team who had recently lost a family member. And the bleacher creatures in the Bronx were taunting this outfield. They're saying things like, your mother's pushing up daisies, she's dead. That's exactly what they said. I'm thinking like again, Keto Marte, I get it. Crying on the mound, letting emotions get the best of you. I think free pass. I think these kids, younger people now, I don't want to sound like a boomer because I'm not. We're in our 40s, but I feel like younger people now, 22 year old idiot. Younger people now, I think don't have the accountability of other generations because no one is there to kick him in the ass. I feel like kids now don't think about. Everybody has a plan until they're punched in the face. They don't think about the repercussions. Like who goes to a game and thinks it's okay to taunt a guy about his dead mom? Like, who on earth would say that's okay? Stupid and drinking probably. And you mix alcohol with stupidity, anything could happen. And like you said, no repercussions. He is banned though. That was the update from Dan Beyer. But your first reaction. And believe me, Rich, I got friends talking about it on group chats and there is an honest sentiment. Yeah, maybe people wouldn't say this on the radio, but they're saying it on my phone. Come on, toughen up, bro. So it's like, should a player have thicker skin or is it understandable? And I got to give Spot the credit who's on our videos. Fox Sports Radio's YouTube and @COVINOENRICH and @ FOX Sports Radio said, hey man, anything could trigger you. And again, I'm very fortunate and blessed to still have my parents. But I do understand where he's coming from when he says that cove. Where's the line? Because listen, we're all going to unfortunately lose our parents at some point. Well, the line was crossed. That's the circle of life. But I am surprised that I brought him to tears. No parent wants to ever outlive their child. Where's the line? What if someone, what if some athlete lost their kid? And I mean, you're just scum of the earth, Rob Zombie style. But I'm saying scum of the earth if you're bringing that up. But I'm saying there's levels of trash, family. How about just stay away from family altogether? You know, with trash talking. That's, that's a unwritten rule that. You know what though? You do not talk about the other person's family. You don't go there. You always leave kids. Leave the kids and family out of it. You want to taunt me and make fun of me. That's just how life works, period. That's the unwritten rule of fighting and Taunting and smack talking. Right. I even feel like that's sort of like a mild unwritten rule of social media. Even like, yo, hey, you can go on Twitter, x Instagram, anywhere and say that, yo, Kavino and Rich, you suck. I mean, that rule applies here. You're not going to like everything we say. You might not like us. And you have the right to your opinion. You're entitled to your wrong opinion, but you bring our family into it. That's when it gets line crossing anytime. But okay, so let me be fair. Yeah, it's understandable that he was in tears and upset. Maybe he was just like. Maybe he was so. What's the word I'm looking for? Like, maybe he just felt so bad that someone would stoop that low. Right. And it made him emotional, almost shocked, like, disgusted by it. He was so hurt and disgusted that it brought him to those emotions. I'm just surprised to see it. And that's not from a judgment standpoint, really, at all. I was surprised to see the guy in tears and I was surprised to hear the reason. It's. Sadly, it's almost like a club. Unless you've gone through it, you don't understand it. Like, when I lost. I've lost both my parents, but, like, when I lost my mother and my wife saw my emotion, she, like, was there for me, but she didn't fully get it. And then she lost her father. And then finally she was. She even said to me, she's like, I get it now. So it's like, until you've been through that type of emotion, I believe that you don't understand it. So as you know, we look at it and you look at it as. This is a grown man who's playing sports who shouldn't be crying on the field. Okay, then why have we seen it before, though? I mean, maybe that's why I'm also surprised that it happened. Well, hold on. You think it's the first time it happened? You're shocked that you see a grown man crying on the field and letting his emotions get, you know, dictated by some, you know, POS in the stands. Are you equally shocked that someone would go there? Like, I know you're saying there's a lot of trash out there, but you really want. You're giving people way too much credit. You're not shocked? There's so many. We just. We just talked last week about. That was actually during midweek major about sports betting and how sports betting has made fans think they're invincible when talking to players because they're affecting their bottom line. They're threatening them, they're threatening their families. They're high fiving because they got in his head until they realized how severe it was. Because a lot of these people, social media has messed with people's minds to think that they can get away with anything. All these keyboard warriors think that they could say whatever they and do whatever they want. And then when it happens in real life, like, oh man, maybe I, maybe I can't or maybe I shouldn't. So, Dan Beyer, your thoughts again, I'm saying understandable, but I was surprised. I can't lie about that. Yeah, I think honestly it's a little, it's a little weird to hear me or to have to hear you say, because I don't know what hill you would die on for that. Like, I just, I feel like there's a line, as Danny said, family off limits, you know, like, like just off limits. I'm not dying on a hill. The hill I'm dying on is I would Never give any 22 year old pencil neck dork the power to upset me that much. And as a guy in a professional baseball league, I'm surprised he hasn't heard it before. I'm not saying that he's a weenie for crying or what a loser or what a softy pants or anything like that. I'm saying what a loser this guy is to be saying that. But I don't let, you can't let people affect you in that way. I'm surprised that it did. It could go day by day. Yesterday maybe just wasn't Cattella Marte's day. The other thing that I thought about this was this isn't well known. I didn't know that Katel Marte's mother was killed in a car accident. So it took some research or by somebody who knew. So it took some effort to do that. Here's the other thing that I actually kind of feel bad about is. So we see it today on social media, the White Sox on their scoreboard place a sign that says we stand by. You could tell Marte now on local news in Arizona is like, hey, when they come back home Friday for their series, standing over. So this is now continually being brought up, you know, like where he's now got a. Now he's got to see that. So now guess what, now there could be emotions again now on Friday, guess what? More emotions. When he probably just wants to play baseball. Dude, I'm so glad you brought that up because here was the other Thought I had. But when they disclosed the information, I'm like, you just opened up the floodgates to what triggered this guy. For any other scumbag fan out there that wants to mess with him, and now he has to deal with this sort of treatment. I follow you there. Like, sometimes if, you know, sometimes you're giving idiots their trigger. Exactly right. Like, everybody has one now. You. Now, you know, you gave other teams and other fans that. That ammunition. And not everybody's that sweet and that nice and when alcohol's involved. So it did get me thinking a million things. And I saw the manager say he. He wants to defend his players, and everyone was there for him, and I thought that was great. It was a surprising thing, though, because, again, fans are rowdy and gross, and they have been forever. So I'm surprised. It's the first time we've seen this that I know. And he may take it as a way. It's great to see the love. Great to see the love from the White Sox fans. It'll be great to see the love from the Arizona fans when he comes home. But it is just. He was put in a situation that he had no control over. And also, he couldn't do anything. If some guy came up to a. You know, to any of us in a bar or somewhere else, like, there would be some sort of confrontation to. It could tell. Marte knows that he's powerless in that situation. So I think that that has. Yeah, there's also a lot to that because it's. It's almost like a pure sense of meanness. By the way, another question. Cruelty. It's very cruel. Here's another question. Dan and Danny G. And Sam, you guys might know the answer to this. This isn't the first time we've heard banned in sports or banned at the stadium. How does that work? How do they do it? I'll tell you how it's going to work moving forward. No, seriously? Yeah, I'll tell you how it's going to move forward. Is it the, like, airport security sort of thing moving forward? If you've been to the Intuit Dome, where the Clippers play, you walk in, they scan your face recognition. Now, in the past, it might have been trickier. Like, yeah, just go there with a fake mustache on. But now I'm telling you, when I went to the Intuit Dome for the first time with a Clippers, the technology is there where I walked in and like, welcome, Richard. I'm like, ooh. So in the future, the same thing. It's Like Minority Report. You know, when you go to the Danny G, when we go to fights in Vegas, you go scan your id, you go grab two beers out of the shelf. Yeah. And it knows to charge your credit card. The technology will be there. That it's not gonna be easy for these scumbags to sneak in anymore. And by the way, I wanna make it very clear, I'm not defending this 22 year old idiot by any means. I'm just surprised by what I saw. And I'm trying to have a fair conversation because. And no one wants to admit it because it sounds insensitive. There's. There's a huge side of people are like, hey man, you got to have tougher skin. And there's another side of people are there like, yeah, man, it's completely understandable. So I'm trying. Yes. I don't know. I feel like everyone understands sensitivity. More phone. Talk to your friends. But even Marte's manager kind of said something in line with your thoughts. Covino, part of his quote says, no matter what happens, no matter what was said or what you heard, that guy's an idiot. It shouldn't have an impact on you. That's what he told him, you know, when he had his arm around him. We're very conditioned in today's world to sort of like deal with losers and scumbags. To be honest. You see the stuff that people say about you sometimes and me sometimes, just because we do a radio show, I mean, we can't let that stuff get to us. Hey, could it be a bad day like Dan Byers said? Could anything trigger us? Absolutely. And that's why we brought it up. It's just another way to look at it. Anything could trigger anybody. Your thoughts. I feel bad for Catal Marte. That guy is a loser. I'm glad he's banned for life. Your thoughts after seeing that, let us know. 87799 on Fox. Plus we got Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom and Midweek Major way for both of those things. Fans that are just trash, you know, is there a line that you can't cross? I say yes. I feel like family, you know, wives, spouses, dead relatives. Like you call out stuff like that. What a piece of garbage you are. Let's go. To pretend like it doesn't happen all the time. You even told a story that I told you from a Yankees game. To pretend like it doesn't happen is absurd. That's why I said there was a part of me that was surprised that it got to Him. But also understandable that everybody has a. Has a moment or a trigger. So, you know, you're saying, like, you're surprised. How can we be surprised that when you mix alcohol with scumbags, these things could happen? All right, Reese in Seattle, you're on Kavino and Rich. Hey, buddy. Hey, how you doing? I want to just cover a couple things real quick. I think that some communities, some cultures value their moms and their grandmothers way differently than other people. Not that everybody doesn't love their mom and their grandmother. That's a great point. And I think that anybody on a given day, if someone was to say something about, you know, your wife had a miscarriage or your mother was killed or one of your family members was murdered, there's no guarantee that that's not going to hurt any average person. The second thing I want to say is people who do stuff like that, they always want to pick someone who they know is financially not able to respond. He would never walk out on the streets and say that to me. He would never walk out on the streets and say that to you. He would never walk up to Mike Tyson and say that. He's only doing that because he knows there's a position that player is. Can't operate outside of. That's the level of cowardice that fan has. Yeah, that's a fact. You know, that was a great call. He brought up some great points. And what is the old phrase, hurt people? Hurt people. Like, what type of demented person do you need to be to even have it inside you or just your last living brain cell? I'm just saying, like, you got to be a pretty miserable person in life to even go to those depths to talk about someone's. Like, he said someone's wife had a miscarriage or their parent died or their kid died. Like, we wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. You wouldn't do it. We always say that's the number one test. What would you do it? Not even in a million years. But he brought up another point. And again, I thought about this from all sorts of angles, because it was wild, because we'd never really seen it like this, Right? And we talked about this recently, Rich. My rare ability to compartmentalize whatever's going on in my life, yet still do a radio show every day. We all have that ability. You mentioned that. I have a great ability. You have a unique ability. For all we know, he has that same ability, and he's not thinking about those things. And then it's all Of a sudden brought into that reality and he's not used to that. He wasn't thinking about those type of things. I mean, on a day to day basis, people bump into people. You want to, like I said, punch in the neck, but you don't because you have your restraint and you're a mature adult. Katel Marte is handcuffed here. He can't do a thing. And this guy's trash. Jesse in Indiana. What's up, man? Hey, how's it going, boys? What's up? So, yeah, I mean, I wholeheartedly agree with what Reese said. I mean, I have personally gone through a miscarriage and you know, I couldn't even. Just even seeing a baby would make me tear up. But, you know, now imagine if you're a pro ballplayer. Imagine. Imagine, Jesse, if you're a pro ballplayer and someone taunts you about you or your wife and they bring that into your competitive mindset when you're like, what? Yeah. You're caught off guard. Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. I don't know how, I don't know how could tell was even in the mindset to be able to go out there and play after hearing that. Yeah. Tyler, Connecticut, your thoughts on Marte. What's up? Hey, how you doing? You must be in the league of your own because there's no crying in baseball, right? Apparently. I mean, yeah, if you want to reference that. Yeah. No, because you don't think there's an older generation of people that are like, man, there's a reason. I don't know, Rich, we haven't seen this before. We just have. I'm saying, listen, as someone who's lost both their parents, like, there's no amount of time for grieving, right? Some say, oh, you know, your mom died a couple years ago, like a couple years ago, 20 years ago. There's no amount of time for grieving. Right? Yeah. And we don't know what he was going through that yesterday. Right. He could have been going through other shit. Other stuff. Excuse me. It's okay. We got you. We got you. He could have been going through other stuff and you just never know. Then one more thing though, real quick. Yeah. You said you don't, you know, you shouldn't. He shouldn't cry or whatnot. He shouldn't Even give the 22 year old the time of day. Right? To show him that anything. Right? But the power to get you like that. Right? The power. Right. But. But we've been talking about him now for, for an hour. On the National Public Radio station. No, we're talking about what happened. We're not giving this guy props. We don't know. We don't know his name. Honestly, this guy's the worst. He's the weakest. The weakest of the week. I'm glad he's banned for life. I don't think there's any exceptions there. I'm glad to hear the update. I'm glad that he was pointed out. I'm glad they had the actual proof and they had confirmation of what he said and what he did. You know, we didn't belong. We didn't say the fans name. Hell no. We're giving them props. If anything, we're making an example of bad behavior that you should avoid as a human being. Yeah, but I think everyone's on the same page. And you know what? I get what you're saying. There's a lot of old cats that are like crying. You know what I think changed that course? There are Rich. You don't think that there's. Older guys are like, Wade Boggs would never do that. I think that most of those people are dead. No, they are. I think Mike Schmidt changed all this when he cried. I think you're right, actually. I remember the first moment Mike Schmidt crying at the hall of Fame. And like that was a game changer. People being like, wow. I mean, if Mike Schmidt's crying in the show, that was when he retired, wasn't it? Yeah, something like that. So, hey, your thoughts? We'll get them. But let's go to Dan by for an update. Db thanks for your input by the way. Also that I think everybody, it's a wild story. No problem. Absolutely. Love to do it. Major League Baseball in action today. Marte went over four in the series ender in Chicago against the White Sox. White Sox ended up winning seven to three to salvage the final game in that three game set. As I mentioned earlier, Diamondbacks have tomorrow off. They will then start a series with the Marlins coming up on Friday. NBA draft is tonight. Mavericks have the first overall pick as the first round will take place this evening starting at 8 o' clock Eastern Time. Second round takes place tomorrow. The American west with Dan Flores is the latest show from the Meat Eater Podcast Network. Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as western historians, historian, Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for caves. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the Revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for Good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolut Season 1 Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad. Listen to new episodes of Absolute Season 1 Taser Incorporated on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Binge episodes 1, 2 and 3 on May 21 and episodes 4, 5 and 6 on June 4 ad free at Lava for Good. Plus on Apple Podcasts, the OGs of uncensored motherhood are back and badder than ever. I'm Erica. And I'm Mila and we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network every Wednesday. Historically, men talk too much and women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your tribe with guests like Corinne Stephens. I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happened and then everybody else want to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem? My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade and I called to ask how it was doing. She was like, oh dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school. And Slumflower, what turns me on is when a man sends me money. Like I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money, I'm like, oh my God, it's go time. You actually sent it. Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices Podcast every Wednesday on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you go to find your podcast. I'm Michael Kassin, founder and CEO of 3C Ventures and your guide on Good Company, the podcast where I sit down with the boldest innovators shaping what's next. In this episode I'm joined by Anjali Sud, CEO of Tubi, for a conversation that's anything but ordinary. We dive into the competitive world of streaming how she's turning so called niche into mainstream gold. Connecting audiences with stories that truly make them feel seen. What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content. The term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment and sports collide and hear how leaders like Angeli are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There Are no Girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacy Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching Black Panther and the Challenges of Being a Black Founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are no girls on the Internet on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast. What are you trying to trigger me bro? Trying to trigger me bro? By the way, you try to have a full on discussion and what caveman feedback we got on social media. Clean your ears out, you bozos. But for the rest of you, love you, Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And it's time for a tire rack play of the day. The Angels walked it off last night and it's an art out to right center field. Pretty deep. Rafael is back. It's over his head. It's off the wall. It might be a home run. Moore's racing on his way to third. The game is tied at least as Moore has a triple. And I think he's won it. Save the night to the Red Sox. It's a home run. Look at that. Courtesy of FanDuel Sports Network West. That's our play of the day. We have midweek major. We do it every Wednesday. The biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. Are they mid mid stories week or major stories we'll discuss. Plus, Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. Who? We got like six Mike. Who runs this place? We have like six or seven swiggies with a swaggy left. Then we're gonna move on to nerf footballs. At least we're trying to right for giveaways, but we have like six swiggies left. We gave away a ton in Vegas. If you missed our Friday broadcast from Vegas, catch it on the podcast. So get your hands on one now while you can and play Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. If you could repeat his words verbatim. You win. We're gonna get to all the stuff you just said, but I feel fresh off of our big party in Vegas. You feel fresh? I'm still recovering. I feel like I don't even have my voice left. I think I left it in Vegas. I lost it. I would argue that no one has ever had more fun at a radio show or podcast event ever. It was so much fun. And then I'm like, who partied better than us? You know who's trying to one up us? Who? Tight end University. Why? Because Taylor Swift's performing. I mean, did we have Taylor Swift perform? No. Good. I'm glad we did. She was a surprise performer. I got to ask, acting like you wouldn't have wanted her perform. I wouldn't. We had Javier, Sam. We had Sam dancing in the ballroom. That's more fun to me. But you see Taylor Swift with her surprise performance and it was created, as you know, by Greg Olson, my dude George Kittle and Travis Kelsey. George Kittle? You mean the future WWE superstar? I love George Kittle. You know this just signed a big deal with my Niners. So I got to ask random quick question before we get into all that other stuff. Is there a position in any sport that has more fun than tight ends in the NFL? Like a cool position? I feel like out of nowhere when we were kids, it was like Brent Jones and fun. You had some fun. Yeah, I'm saying, like, you had the wild guy. Like, like you can think back to some of the rando tight ends of the 80s and 90s, but they didn't have the role that a tight end has now. Like, guys like Jimmy Graham sort of paved the way. Like I said, who was the Cowboy? Was it Novacek? Then you had Tony Gonzalez and Brent Jones. Like, but now the tight ends is such a hot position, dude, your boy Brock Bowers, like, it is definitely that cool position, that rough, sort of having fun kind of guy. Receivers are the flashy trash talking type. Is it the closer in baseball? Like, is there a swagger thing? Like, you know, like a swagger that like some closers in baseball have, they have their entrance music and lights out when they come in. Sort of started by Mariano Rivera type, right? It's a personality type for sure. Is there anyone? So answer me there. Who else would you put in the category of tight ends and baseball closers? No, no. Who? I need to get it going. Your Mets. Your former pal Clay Holmes is on the hill tonight. No, that guy's terrible. He's actually even good. I'm just kidding. He's got all the tools in the world. Look, you have to remember, I peaked in little League. So when I say terrible, I mean, come on. He's the. He's the man. But he needs to get it together. That guy, he throws gas, but he needs to figure out. Very consistent. He needs to figure out why the Mets can't beat the Atlanta Braves. Mets can't beat anybody. Neither could the Yankees. You know, that's what's fun about baseball, the ups and downs of full season. And Danny, your Dodgers will. They'll have it down at some point. It happens. You know, dude, this has been for me at least a great baseball season so far. Because at first it seemed like your Yankees and your Mets were going to be neck and neck with my Dodgers this whole time. And in the past couple of weeks, the wheels have fallen off and I feel like I'm going to win the mlb. Bet that you guys have. Dodgers are going to slay it. Tigers are doing great. The Mets. The mets have lost 10 of 11. That is nuts. Neck and neck. Neck and neck. More like Drek and Drek. Good one. Played a rim shot on your. By the way, Dodgers three games better than the Mets and the Yankees right now. In fact, as we said yesterday, surprisingly, the best team in baseball. On pace. Listen there. They played 80 games. The Detroit Tigers are 50 and 30, which is, you know, again, right there. Perfect land pace for 160. Add two more games. Speaking of your Mets this hour. I don't know if you saw it. The Mets DFA reliever Dicky Lovelady. The Mets have designated Dicky Lovelady for assignment. Was called up earlier this week, had a 16.2 ERA. Did he even play in the loss to the Braves? Wasn't that your nickname in the 2000s? Yeah, that was. Yeah, Rich's nickname. And I want you to keep that name on your mind because we're going to discuss it in a second. Like the goofiest, memorable, funny sports names just based on Dickie Lovelady. But like we do every Wednesday. You guys ready to give away some prizes? Yeah, let's do it. Mike's words of wisdom. It's time for the guy that runs this place. Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. It's so funny. Mike was at our big Vegas event over the weekend, and do you know how many listeners went up to him and were like, so you're like a big dog at iHeart. You really. And like, I'm not saying Byer would have been dying, Dan. I'm not saying Mike doesn't have power, but you would have got a kick out of how many people think he's, like, the boss. That's why I didn't go. Yeah, because Big Mike didn't approve your travel. Yeah, because he has to approve everything. Yeah. He has to sign off on everything. No, because everyone was like, yo, you're Mike who runs this place? Dan would have had him interjected every time. Like, he runs nothing. Hold on. Yeah. What was great is one point at the bar night trip. Friday night there, Tripp stood up and he said, hey, you're Mike who doesn't run anything. And I'm like, see? Tripp gets it. He knows. Well, Mike leaves us with words of wisdom every Wednesday. If you repeat them verbatim, word for word, you win a coveted CNR Swiggy, Iowa. Sam, are you ready for the words of wisdom? I want to add One little thing to this. This is a tricky one, but there's a. There's two words that rhyme. So have that be a tool for you to hopefully get it verbatim. Here we go. Now, this is tricky. All right. In order to live a life most people don't, you must be willing to do what most people won't. There you go. A little tricky, but I like it. I like it. And if you want that coveted Swiggy, we have like six or seven left. And then we're moving on to a different prize. But it's that stainless steel water bottle, that bottle that everyone's talking about, that midnight black super sleek. I think I already forgot. Aerodynamic. They'll live a life that no one won't. I can't. I already forgo. I feel like we need to play that one just one more time. Yeah, one more time, sir. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. In order to live a life most people don't, you must be willing to do what most people won't. Hey, you know what that applies to sports? Yeah. Put in that extra hustle. It is. It's that extra level of commitment when other people want to be lazy. You ain't got time for that. That's how you get next level in life and in the game. So while we get the phone calls going, your chance to win the Swiggy with the swaggy 87799 on Fox. That midnight black limited edition Swiggy is now. But while we get the phone calls going, I want to talk about your boy. This guy was grand opening, grand closing. Dickey Lovelady's already gone. He's already been DFA'd. I know. He got a lot of press, though, with that name change again. His name is Richard Lovelady. Rich just ordered the jersey yesterday. I know. And he made this big announcement that he was going by Dickie. Now, I knew I should have went with the Lindor jersey. So it got us thinking, Rich, while we take these phone calls and we get ready to repeat Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom, some other classic goofy names in sports. Because again, this is sophomore. We had a heavy first hour. Let's have a fun second. When you were a kid and you collected baseball cards way back on a Wednesday, you know, you collected those goofy ass cards from players and athletes and managers with goofy names. Of course, that was part of collecting cards. But when you were trying to find the star players. But then you were also trying to find error cards and players with goofy names. Right. So what are the Ones that come to mind, like, I'll get obvious ones out of the way. There is no better name in sports than Jimmy Johnson and Magic Johnson. Okay, those are two great names when you really think about it. So what are the other ones? What are those baseball cards you had? One of my favorites I still reference till this day. Can I guess? Because I feel like you reference it so much and I don't know the guy. I say his name wrong, but that's how I said it as a kid and I stick with it. Kavino will always reference if I'm right here. Just knows I could read your dumb mind. Yeah, you always reference a guy named like Don Assie. Yes. Don Ass. I'm like, yo, man, this guy's ass. Like Don Ass. This guy's Don Ass. Yes. Because in my sophomore little kid mind, I had a Don Ass card and that cracked me up. And I kept it in a special page or plastic because it was hilarious to me. I. But it's Don Assie. I thought. I thought you were going rusty nuts because. With the K. Silent K. Because we. Rusty K. Really? Me and my older brother thought the K was silent. So either way, be careful, please. I was gonna say either way, it's a guy's name. K N you. That's the guy's name. However you say it, be careful, please. Yes. Okay. Dude, I had a card. No one's gonna appreciate this unless you had the same card. But it's a famous baseball story, right? From the Cubs back in the day. And it's from a card called Baseball Scoops that I had. I found it like in a cigar box in my grandma's basement. And the headline on the card, Baseball Scoops. Yes. The headline on the card was this guy. It says, Merkel pulls boner. And it was known as the play where he fails to touch second base in a key game. So the play goes down in history as Merkel pulls boner. Like he pulled a boner move where he missed the base. But back then that was more slang. Yeah, yeah. There was a character on one of our favorite TV shows as a 12 year old kid who found this card. I thought it was the greatest thing that ever was Merkle Bilzem. So it's not his name, but I have to throw it out there as reference to these funny moments and things we collected. What's up, Dan? I'm just literally gonna just take it off the board. So nobody calls in and says it because we all are thinking it. From my home state of Wisconsin, made popular on SportsCenter. Dick Trickle. So Dick Trickle was. Yes, he was the legend dude. Yeah. From America's Dairyland. I love it. Dad is good. I thought DB Was gonna go Pete Lecoq. Pete Lecoq. That's one Mallard brings up all the time. Doesn't he go by? No, he does not. He should. Thank God. There's so many good ones. I want to give you one that Big Mike, as we get winners for his words of wisdom. Big Mike said, you're going to talk about this, you have to bring up Longar. Longar. Apparently he was a college basketball player. And I'm like, if you're going to bring up a college player, what about Bowl? Bowl? Yeah. I mean, again, name that stands out. And not everyone has to be about someone's junk, like Jansen junk. I think 82% of these are going to be about. No, no, no. I'm going to switch it up right now. You know, he did the Bol. Bowl 1. Jansen Junk is a great one. But how about like Grant Balfour? Right, Balfour. But I mean, you're a pitcher and your last Name is Ball4. I always thought that was interesting. You remember the pitcher for the A's? I, Grant Balfour. I don't remember this guy that someone hit us up with at Covinon Rich, a Cardinals pitcher. His name is Boots Day. That's a good one. It's a great name, but not as good as Dick Pole from Boston and Seattle. He was a pitcher. Look him up. I had his card. Dick Pole. Pohl, right? Is it Pohl? See, I just wrote it down, but I remember he was a pitcher. Let me look it up. There's a soccer player, Kavino. You're going to love this guy. He played back in the 80s. Fabian ass man. No way. Half of these names won't work on work computers, by the way. So. No, by the way, Dick Pole was Pole. Oh, was it okay, and he was a Cub or he was a coach on the Cubs, I believe. But he was a Boston and Seattle pitcher for a minute. But I had his cards, like in the late 70s for sure. And I'm telling you, as a kid, these were major collectibles. And some just stood out to me, like if I was hungry back in the late 80s, early 90s, I'm like, yo, man, I want to grub. Like Johnny Grubbing. Johnny Grubb was a player for Detroit. Johnny Grubb. So I remember. That's one I used to use a lot. And, man, some of these are so bad, I want to leave some for you guys. But I also want to give away this prize. So, Danny G. Do we have. Yeah, we got five. Five contestants lined up, some players. By the way, their name is totally normal, but it sounds like it could be a euphemism in the two in the 2000s. Covino once told me he went out with some girl and he was hoping for an oral Hershey. And I'm like, you're using his name? I did not. I said, BJ Sirhof, you liar. Okay, sorry. All right. You know, great Olympic name. Not. Not Sexual Peekaboo Street. What a. Remember. Remember the great name. Wasn't she a skier, I believe. Right. It's great names. Great names in sports. These are great, hilarious names in sports. And. And you really can't be above it, because there was a point in life where you loved it, which ones are memorable, you know? We'll get to those phone calls, too, at 877-99-ON FOX after we play five rounds. That's the limit here. If you could repeat it verbatim, you win a swiggy. All right, let's start in Illinois. It's Andre. Yo, what's up, Dre? Yo, how you doing? What up, buddy? Let's hear the words of wisdom. Andre, let this music simmer for a second. It'll make you sound very smart. Go for it. In order to do whatever people want. No sorry on Bungled that one. Here's the beauty of it, Mr. Bungle. The beauty of it is you can always play next week with a new round of Mike's words of wisdom. Thank you, buddy. All right, round two go to Troy in Virginia Beach. Hey, Troy. What's up, bro? Oh, not too much, my Troy. Mike's words of wisdom. Let's win that Swiggy. Take it away. Since Big Mike runs nothing and Rich said repeat what he said verbatim what he said verbatim. Give me my empty Lacroix bottle. That guy. Oh, he just gets a round of applause for creativity there. Try. Good try. Good try. Thank you, Troy. Troy pulls boner on the air. Yeah, that made me laugh. Thank you, Troy. Thank you, Dan in Spokane, Washington. What up, Danny? Hey, Dan. How's it going? All right. Ready to do this? I am. All right, go ahead. You want to live a life that most people don't? No, I'm sorry. Sorry. Bungled out of the gate yet again. Take it slow. Thank you, man. All right. All right, Darren. Also in Washington State. What up, Darren? Hey, how's it going, guys? Here we go. Let's do it. Mike's words of wisdom. In order to live a life that most people don't, it does store. It does start with in order to live a life. Right. Yeah. He just added a word. All right. Verbatim. And we only have five people. That's it. Matt in Louisiana, you are America's last hope. I think I got it. But real quick on sports nicknames. There was a real baseball player named Johnny Dick Shot. His nickname was. His nickname was Ugly. Yes, he was Ugly Dickshot. He played in the 30s. I know of him again, 82% of these. Yes, yes. He played in Pittsburgh. He played in New York and Chicago. I. I'm very well aware of him because, again, how could you not laugh at that? How do more. How did more people not have that jersey? Because it's an old one. I don't think fans had jerseys back then. All right, Matt, in Louisiana, you think you got this? Yeah. Take your time. I think I do. Okay. In order to live a life most people don't, you must be willing to do what most people won't. Yeah. Boom. Keep doing the clutch. Like, big copy clutch. I love it. Matt, great job. We are gonna send one of the last CNR Swiggies out to there in Louisiana. And he threw in that. Yeah, the one I had written down, but I didn't think we could say it. Give him some koozies, man. It's the guy's name. That's the. That's the beauty of this. It's the guy's name. I know. It really is. Hey, thank you so much, man. You get the koozies and the swiggy, and we have, like, five or six left. So that means if we get approved, budget wise, maybe some CNR Nerf football's coming soon for the football season. Let me ask you this. Thank you, man. Did anyone else say no way in the last, you know, decade or so in baseball? There's been a Cocoa Crisp and a Milton Bradley. The thing is, though. Yeah, those are classic, right? I mean, they're not dirty, but, I mean, Coco's not. His first name was, like, Covelli or something like that, but they went with Coco. They went with Coco Crisp. But Milton Bradley was a good one. These are all goofy ones that stood out and. And Danny G. Agreed. You had, like, a page right of their cards. I did, yeah. Because it was funny. Yeah, it was hilarious. And I think it does stink that the Mets, who need. They need their 2025 grimace, essentially. Right. They need a Hawk to a Girl of the Year. The Mets need something, and I thought it might be Dicky. What is it? Love child, Love lady. Love lady. And he's already gone. The grand opening, grand closing. He pitched one game out of the bullpen, stunk it up a little bit, and then he's been DFA'd. So. So again, these were real names. These weren't even really nicknames we were discussing here on the show. Ryan Suck up had a career in the NFL as a kicker. Remember, Suck up was Suck Up. That's what I call rich when he's hanging out with the bosses. Dicky Suck Up. Ryan Suck Up. Look at this guy. Key. There was a football player named Kyle Sack, writer for Michigan State. That's a jersey right there. You should have said a key and peel bit. Danny g. Yeah, again, 82%, no doubt. Jake Butt was popular. Oh, that's a good one, Shake. Yeah, but now he's in the media world. I love it. I love it. All right, so, hey, thank you guys for having fun with us. We needed that after the first hour. So thank you guys so much. That was a lot of fun. And you know what? You could add them. How about you, Adam, at covinoenrichoxportsradio. Yeah. On our social media pages, I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them.

What others dismiss as niche, we embrace as core. It's this idea that there's so many stories out there and if you can find a way to curate and help the right person discover the right content. The term that we always hear from our audience is that they feel seen. Get a front row seat to where media, marketing, technology, entertainment and sports collide and hear how leaders like Angelique are carving out space and shaking things up a bit in the most crowded of markets. Listen to Good Company on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. The OGs of uncensored motherhood are back and badder than ever. I'm Erica. And I'm Mila and we're the hosts of the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast brought to you by the Black Effect Podcast Network every Wednesday. Historically, men talk too much and women have quietly listened. And all that stops here. If you like witty women, then this is your tribe with guests like Corinne Stephens. I've never seen so many women protect predatory men. And then me too happened and then everybody else want to get pissed off because the white said it was okay. Problem. My oldest daughter, her first day in ninth grade and I called to ask how I was doing. She was like oh dad, all they were doing was talking about your thing in class. I ruined my baby's first day of high school and Slumflower what turns me on is when a man sends me money. Like I feel the moisture between my legs when a man sends me money I'm like oh my God, it's go time. You actually sent it. Listen to the Good Moms Bad Choices podcast. Everyone's on the Black Effect podcast network, the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you go to find your podcast adventure should never come with a pause button. Remember the MoviePass era where you could watch all the movies you wanted for just $9? It made zero sense and I could not stop thinking about it. I'm Bridget Todd, host of the tech podcast There are no girls on the Internet. On this new season, I'm talking to the innovators who are left out of the tech headlines, like the vision visionary behind MoviePass, Black founder Stacy Spikes, who was pushed out of MoviePass, the company that he founded. His story is wild and it's currently the subject of a juicy new HBO documentary. We dive into how culture connects us. When you go to France or you go to England or you go to Hong Kong, those kids are wearing Jordans, they're wearing Kobe's shirt. They're watching the Black Panther and the challenges of being a black founder. Close your eyes and tell me what a tech founder looks like. They're not going to describe someone who looks like me and they're not going to describe someone who looks like you. I created There are no girls on the Internet because the future belongs to all of us. So listen to There are no girls on the Internet, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. You know the Jake Paul Chavez Jr. Fights this weekend? I'm going to watch it. You want to come by or what? I will absolutely come. I will. My mother in law's in town. I have all the freedom. I always. Sam, you want to come by and watch the fuck Have a dance off Danny G. What are you up to? Danny G's like, I got diapers to change. Oh, man, I'll bring KOA so you could change diapers. By the way, Danny G, the funniest thing, I'm sorry to go on a tangent like Rich Davis out of nowhere. That's okay. It's called, it's called Rich Davis Radio. But you know, one of our clips was posted yesterday on social media, right? And it got a lot of hits. We were talking about Aaron Rodgers and oh, whoopity do. He's playing one year. What'd you expect? Five years and all of a sudden Danny G's voice chimes in on the clip. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers, he got no juice left or whatever he said, right? And I was reading the comments and one of the Comments was, when did Barry White join the show? And then when you listen to it, it's so funny because it's me and Ranch were like blah, blah, blah, blah. And all of a sudden you're like, yeah, Aaron Rodgers ain't got no business doing. And then when I saw that dude, I almost spit my coffee out. When did Barry White join the show? First of all, I don't sound anything like that. So funny, dude. Thanks for all your feedback, everybody. You guys make us crack up and appreciate your support. Everything's at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Do you anticipate Jake Paul Cesar Chavez Jr. To be fun or dude? You know, it just depends. Here's the thing. Not to give you a boring answer, but it's the truth. It depends if Chavez Jr isn't being paid off. And it depends if Chavez Jr is taking this serious because if he is, he's a former world renowned champion. Like he's a tough kid. So if he comes in shape, Jake Paul's fighting a real champion. I mean, does he want to further embarrass his dad or does he want to win, say. Good point. Hey, something to watch this weekend? Depends what shape is before we get to midweek. Major Danny G. Who do we got a couple calls? Yeah, two quick ones here. Chris in Washington state on the names. Yo, what's up, Chris? Chris, yeah. Hey, what's up, guys? Thanks for having me on. No, no problem. What's up, man? What comes to mind as far as funny sports names, man? Dick, Buck, Kiss you guys. That's an obvious one, but how is it not brought up? When I was a kid, that was the best name ever to me. Yeah, and you know, it's all based on how Dicky Love lady joined the Mets has already been. That's another name I call Rich when he's hanging out with the boss. Well, and then I thought about it earlier this morning as a topic because this baseball player came across my feed and his name is Jansen Junk. That's a great one. What a bad name for a pitcher. Junk. Throwing a bunch of junk really quick before midweek. Major James in Miami want to talk about the tight ends topic? Oh yeah, we're saying tight ends might be the coolest position in sports based on, you know, they got a vibe right now, right? It's, it's pretty cool to be a tight end. What's up? Well, yeah, well, what I wanted to touch on was not necessarily tight ends, but as far as players being able to show their personality, like you said, Closers and whatnot. The one thing that down here, the two time defending Stanley cup champions. What about a hockey goal mask? Yo, go personality. The mask is definitely a way to show some pizzazz, I guess you'd say. But yeah, no goalkeepers, goaltenders. There's. That's. That's definitely one. But I think. What about a hockey goon? He's got to be a hype man of sorts. No, he's got. He got a vibe, guys. He's got a tough guy, sort of like crazy guy vibe to him. It's like in the football mandatory camps right now, some of the players with the visors who are going after the QBs, like Burns on the Giants has Spidey. That's cool. It's very cool. But you're. You're right, though. There's a very specific personal personality type in the world of tight ends and kiddos like that. That quintessential stereotypical dude. He is that guy. All right, so now we do this every Wednesday. The biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. We call it Midweek Major Covino and Rich gets you over the middle of the week with Midweek Major. Ooh, I love that. We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas. And it's like the kids say, that's so mid. We definitely. Major CNR scoring Midweek Major. I gotta get spotty eight full minutes here. What do we gotta do with all that time? And before we start anything, we gotta give spot a round of applause for that great planning for CRC20, man. Great job. Thank you. But do that on your own time. All right, Before. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host of the segment. Let's roll the two big red love dice in Covino. Terry love dice nine. Dickie loved ice. Dickey love dice six. Who was hot in Vegas at the tables. Ah, man, not Camino Studio. I won. His luck ran out. All right, so Covino's gonna go first. And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, Spotty boy. All right, let's do this. You know the expression in racing to win by a nose? Well, a US Sprinter Chris Robinson won by another appendage. So during the Ostrava Golden Spite Meek in Czech Republic on Tuesday, Robinson suffered a bit of a wardrobe malfunction on live tv, where as he was running, his junk slipped out of his shorts. His very loose and very short running shorts. The incident happened while he was approaching the finish line. It appears like he's trying to tuck it back in and finally he just gives out, sprints to the finish line where he actually ends up did. Winning the race and 48.05 seconds, which by the way is longer than any time you guys have had with your junk out. So is this midweek or major? Wow, this is major news. Definitely major. Speaking of chance and junk, this guy, did he really win by his junk? I mean, no, but okay, his junk was flopping around as he was approaching. He won a gold medal by a helmet. Remember the French pole vaulter at the Olympics? No, this was actually, actually like out. This was fully out. Okay, okay. Now based. This. This is, this is important information for my answer. Was it like an impressive story? No, I'm serious. Because then it's like major because good for him. He won and he won. It's rather impressive. Oh, I'll see what I mean. All right, Major story. I'm sticking to it because we. I don't know. It's a goofy story. It's gonna make major headlines and it could have been extremely embarrassing the other way. Let's just say he put on a shower. Yeah, that's what I mean. You see what I mean? Like it could have been. My point is this. It could have been a lot worse and more embarrassing had it been like that. I think it's major because it's funny and it's a funny headline. And when you got a lot of serious things in the news, we need goofy things like that once in a while. Yeah, listen, like you said, I, I agree with you that it's major. Definitely major. Because he wasn't pulling a George Costanza. It was cold. He wasn't in the pool. I was in the pool. By the way, this. Didn't this happen to your dad during a jump rope a thon? No, his pants felt. His pants fell down and he was wearing purple underwear. But. But I will say Spot, much like that pole vaulter that I was saying brought up, sometimes it's something embarrassing like that could give you props in a weird social media world we live in now. So, you know, good for this guy. Congratulations, Major. All right. I. I guess it's going to be a very sexual midweek. Major. So George Kittle singing praises for a new workout tool, especially for one of the side effects. So Kittle appeared on busing with the boys, one of our. Be careful here spot. I know you've heard this story where you talked about the new vasper system. So it's a stationary bike that apparently restricts blood flow to the biceps and the quads, has ice water pads. It tricks the body into thinking you're having an intense workout, but also boosts your recovery. Well, Kittle revealed that when they sold it to players, they sold it as a boost testosterone. It improves sleep, makes you feel better and apparently you have a. A larger than usual sexual release, so. Wow. And while he was a little bit skeptical at first, Kittle did confirm in fact that these selling points are all true. So if you're looking to improve your performance on and off the field, might want to give this a try midweek or major, Anything men's head health related. And if it's true and endorsed from a guy that everybody knows and respects. We just talked about how great he is for the NFL. I think it's a major story if, if it's. If it's legit. Yeah, I think that is major. I do. Oh, so quote Frank Thomas and the women like it too. Hey, listen, Major, I love George Kittle and it seems like he's a guy you want behind your product, the Vasper system. Vasper, it's supposed to. It's like a stationary bike, but it's good for cardiovascular. Right? Right. I think it like the way it does blood flow. It tricks your body into it. Yeah. It's good for recovery and all that. All right. New season of quarterback on Netflix drops July 8, but we got a sneak peek this week as Netflix released a new trailer for the upcoming series. This season will follow Bengals QB Joe Joe Burrow, Lions QB Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins, former Falcons Q be all three very different seasons from last year. Trailer also shows that we'll get a look into Burrow's home burglary that happened in December where Burrow was robbed of over 300k in personal stuff, if you want to take a glimpse at it, it's across all social media right now. Midweek or major. Anything NFL related, especially now is major. Definitely major. You got the wnba, you got baseball. There's people so pumped about the NFL and I think these are three interesting quarterbacks that we're going to focus on for sure. And if you get some insight on that, that theft moment, I think that's really interesting because we didn't know what was going on. We're like, who's there? Remember who was there? Why were they house that model? Yeah, I think this is major. And I'll tell you what, since definitely major, this story broke about the home invasion. He has now been seen with this house sitting model their T together. So you'll get to see Joe Burrow attempting to make it seem like it's nothing. And I heard you get to see Kirk Cousins find out when Michael Penck Jr. Was drafted or got the starting job or I think they go back a bit where you get to see his reaction. Like, wait, what? Yeah, so it gets pretty real. And I love quarterback. I thought receiver on Netflix was great. So I think these are all fantastic. Yeah, I agree with Rich and anything NFL. NFL related Major all right, ESPN has tapped their host for this year's ESPY Awards and that is comedian, actor and writer Shane Gillis. All fan his In a statement announced Tuesday, ESPN announced that Gillis will take the stage at the Dolby Theater in LA to celebrate the achievements athletes and moments in sports from the last year. Gillis, of course, in the middle of a 40 city international tour as well as starring in his Netflix series Tires. He says he's excited because he's a huge fan of sports. Speeds will take place July 16 at 8pm airing on ABC and ESPN plus Midweek or Major Major because award shows have sort of run their course, lost their luster a little bit. Sort of boring. And we saw what Conan did for the Oscars, right? I thought Conan o' Brien at the Oscars. Fantastic. If Shane Gillis, who we know is a sports fan, knows what he's talking about. A lot of his comedy revolves around sports and I know he's very popular. Rich likes him a lot more than I do. But if he could do what Conan did for the Oscars and bring some fun back to that, I think it's major. I'll tell you, this is super major. Definitely major. Definitely major. I mean there's not many comics hotter than that because first of all, Tyre season two was better than the first season. It's really a fun watch. Tire rack. He's also very close to certain athletes. He was at McCann McCaffrey's wedding. Remember, we were all like, why is Shane Gillis with all the athletes at McCaffrey's wedding? Super bowl ad. Yeah, he was in a Super bowl ad. And what's interesting, not to trash talk about espn, but they're very woke and safe and very, very, very liberal. And Shane Gillis, if you watch his stuff on podcasts and everything, he sort of leans the other way. So it's a sort of a cool, it's sort of a cool, risky, contrasting move for ESPN to go with Shane Gillis because he, he is not really what they represent. Cool. So I think it's a cool move by espn to. To take a chance. Bold. I agree. Yeah. There you go. Thanks, guys. Thanks. Are you ready for the NBA draft, buddy boy? Oh, I was gonna say, I thought you were ready to watch the Yankees lose to the Reds. Dude, I'm sorry. Yeah, that's really it. I'll. I'll. I'll watch some of the draft for sure. You got the first round tonight, second round tomorrow. Cooper Flag. Here's the big question. That's. That's the big story. I mean, it's obvious, but on a very own network, our pal Dan Patrick was sort of posing the question. When you think about how the supermax contracts work in the NBA, Cooper flag is what, 18 years old? My goodness. Think about, think about. He's like 18, six foot nine beast at a duke. Six foot nine? Yeah, 18. What year was he born? 2006. That sounds ridiculous. It is ridiculous. That's absurd. That was my first year of college. Yeah, I was. Sam, he's your love child, right? I wish Sam could be his dad. All right, put this in perspective. That was my first year here at the network. I became a dad in 2009 and he's just three years older than my daughter Melody. He would date your daughter and it wouldn't be inappropriate. It wouldn't be. I mean, I'd be grossed out and I'd want to punch him in the nose. But yeah, that's how crazy it is. And I'm just. Well, maybe you'd be okay with him. Just give him perspective. Maybe you'd be okay with him dating your daughter. If you speculate what Dan Patrick said, which is he based on how the contracts work in the NBA, he may be the first billion dollar player in sports. Because, you know, the NBA players are only, you know, the highest paid. Like, think about what an NFL quarterback makes. The highest paid NFL quarterbacks still aren't close to NBA players. Are you saying billions and billions? B, B with a B. Wait, with a B. $100 billion. He's going to get a billion. Think about it. Shohei Ohtani. You really think he's the guy? Well, Ohtani and Juan Soto just signed absurd contracts. And what were those for? 600 and 700 millions and billions and billions and billions and billions. But you know when you do the math, because you got to think of when contracts will expire, right? When new ones will be up, like again, sort of by default. And he happens to be the superstar in line, they're saying, Cooper Flag, if all goes well, could have a financial path forward that would total Close to a billion dollars by the time he's $30 billion. So let me ask you then, are you going to have one TV on the draft just to see how it goes, See if there's any fun stories to talk about tomorrow and watch Love island, or you're going to watch one or the other. How's this going to work? Because everyone's talking about Love Island. I'll probably watch Love Island. We'll go get a coffee with our buddy. That's probably what we'll do. And I'll just watch the expected, you know, like, it's like there's no secret. I think it's a matter of, you know, who's going to go second, third, fourth. There's a couple of question marks there. But hey, man, Dallas, what a wild year for them. They get rid of Luca, you think that it's all over. They have good veterans. And now you're going to get this young kid saves. Nico's job. I guess I would imagine it was in jeopardy. I would imagine that. And I think it is saved, luckily, based on this. Again, it starts in just over an hour on ABC and espn. So watch it. That's the homework assignment. Just watch it a little bit. So. So we could discuss it tomorrow. Danny G. As the resident NBA fan, is this something you're glued into just to see what your team does? Yeah, I'll definitely watch the first round. A lot of speculation on whether or not the spurs will take Dylan Harper with the second pick. He's that point guard out of Rutgers. All right, guys, so enjoy that. Enjoy some. I always want to say love is blind. Love island, which is the trashiest, most ridiculous show. Keep that show away from your kids is really what I'm getting at it. Enjoy your Wednesday night. Get your hump on. Turn your hump day into a hump night. And again, anything you miss on our show, you can always catch on the fox Sports Radio YouTube page. Any other final thoughts before we get out of here? All the. All the videos and pictures from this past weekend in Vegas, we're going to be posting those at Covino and Rich as well. So if you joined us, you could find some of that stuff. And, hey, enjoy. Hopefully the Mets could start winning tonight. Don't count on that. And of course, old school when 50 hits tomorrow. Tomorrow's Thursday already and Thursday's the new Friday. So the weekend begins. Start it with us on your way home. And if you're busy catching on the podcast, but every Thursday, we throw it back and we reminisce a little bit. We go old school when 50 hits on the clock, when 50 hits in life. And when 50 hits on the clock, you get a little old school and we include everybody. So tomorrow we'll have some fun reminiscing with you. We do it every Thursday. Dude, look at Cooper Fleck on the tv. Guy's got teenage pimples. And billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars. Potentially. Potentially. All right, guys, so enjoy the NBA draft and keep you here on Fox Sports Radio. Riva. There she baby.
