Because my met fan friends are so dumb.
Covino
Yeah, I knew that.
Rich Davis
Well, I'm glad you did. I've known these guys for 40 years, and they're dumb. I sent a video of Juan Soto. We're gonna talk about this in a few minutes. Just real quick. I have a conspiracy theory, and my buddy's like, f this guy, I want him gone. I'm like, you want him gone? You want the best playing baseball gone?
Covino
I think he's going to have a monster season. I do, too. I really do. With the Mets. He's just. I don't know. He's looking beefy, bulky. He's having fun. Or maybe that's just how he feels with the doctor. Well, when he plays with his. His compadres.
Rich Davis
My idiotic met fan friends, and I say that lovingly because they're my buds, just said I made an amazing point that they wish they didn't hear. Okay, so I have exhibit A and B audio being pulled in the newsroom as we speak. Because I think, and I'll say this, I have two pieces of audio that I think will prove my biggest fear.
Covino
Okay.
Rich Davis
That Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto hate each other.
Covino
I thought your biggest fear was your hairlining continuing. Your hairline continuing to recede.
Rich Davis
Isn't it? That's really funny. I'll get a hair helmet like you.
Covino
Okay. Your next success can begin sooner than you think. Put your goals within reach at University of Maryland Global Campus, an accredited state university.

Quick reminder, two reminders. We got SGA day on Thursday. So everyone's rocking their tightest drip, their sweetest outfit, their fur coat, their yeti costume, whatever he wants.
Rich Davis
It's gonna be the most ridiculous thing you have in your closet that you wouldn't dare wear in public because you realize how stupid it is.
Covino
Nothing is more ridiculous than when he was wearing last week. So SGA day on Thursday. So more reason to sign up and follow us on YouTube. Covino and Rich FSR watch what you hear. We're streaming live now and people are chatting as we speak. And showtime of homes trivia. Giving away prizes later this hour.
Rich Davis
You have a, you have, you have leather pants or no. You wearing something like that or what are you doing?
Covino
I might bust out my leather pants. We'll have to find out.
Rich Davis
But and this is a day where this is going to happen a lot more Breaking news with Dan Byer. Breaking news from Fox for I think
Dan Byer
you guys should have a contest on what Jersey, New Raiders Jersey Danny is going to wear on maybe, you know, like in some way, shape or form. Because it could be Mendoza, right?
Rich Davis
Yes.
Dan Byer
It could be Tyler Linderbaum, who we found out signed earlier today. It now could be former packers linebacker Quay Walker.
Covino
Whoa.
Dan Byer
It could be former Eagles linebacker Nicobe Dean, both signing with the Raiders.
Rich Davis
The Raiders.
Dan Byer
So two linebackers in the span of 60 seconds going to Las Vegas.
Rich Davis
Danny G. Your team is going to compete, huh?
Showboy Mahomes
Yeah. Spy Tech is really getting after it today.
Rich Davis
Wow, man.
Covino
That what Jersey getting, man.
Showboy Mahomes
Bo Jackson.
Covino
Hey, keep it safe. That's big news, man. Thank you, DB for the update. Let that sink in. We'll think about it. And before we talk more baseball, I want to say rest in peace. Tommy DeCarlo, Boston's lead singer, passed away at the age of 60. Their original lead singer was Brad Delp. But Tommy DeCarlo's been with them forever. Right, Danny G. Yeah.
Showboy Mahomes
I mean they stopped touring I think in 2017, 2018, but he did a good solid 10 years on the road with.
Covino
Maybe we'll play some Boston throughout the day and we got to talk a little baseball. I mentioned the game tonight. I think this is going to be a really telling game, a really great game. I think it's a three headed monster. I do believe that the World Baseball Classic is between the usa, Japan and The doctor. In fact, they're the only three teams that have ever won it, right? This is the sixth one Japan has won three times.
Rich Davis
Am I wrong by saying they're all undefeated in the tournament so far, even though it's like the prelims and all that.
Covino
But you can't sleep on Mexico, who's had USA's number in this tournament since the beginning. They even eliminated usa. Mexico, also undefeated in pool B. USA and Mexico in the same pool. So it's a big game.
Rich Davis
Is that the one the you peed in?
Covino
Yes, it's the one. Well, I'll tell you why I'm a little torn, because normally I'd be rooting for let's go Mexico, but not when they're playing usa. Dude, I gotta keep it real. And I love the squad and I'm rooting for Aaron Judge and I really like this cast of characters. But what I really love sometimes is reading the feedback and realizing that a lot of times, especially the people we talk to are on the same train track of consciousness and thought that we are as Covino and rich as a show. And, you know, I can't help but watch these games and notice the obvious, like, wow, the energy level's different. Wow. The excitement is different. Wow. When you're playing for your country and in front of your country and you're playing for that country on your jersey, man, the pride is next level. And I feel like everybody's also noticing that. And what it's really saying to everybody is why can't American baseball be as fun as. As what these Latin players are bringing when they're all together? When you see Juan Soto hit a bomb, you see these Dominican dudes go nuts. When you see Alejandro Kirk hit a bomb, these Mexican dudes go nuts. They're busting out sombreros, going crazy. When you see Austin Wells, you know, hit a home run for the doctor the other night, they're going nuts. Like, why is this only limited to world baseball class, by the way, Tatis
Rich Davis
Jr. With a grand slam.
Covino
Yeah, seriously, dude, it's next level excitement.
Rich Davis
Well, you know, it is. I'll tell you what it is. It's somewhere along the way. And along the way is a long, long time ago. Because baseball, America's pastime, somewhere along the way we stuck with these unspoken rules. In an old guy sport, baseball, you don't show up a pitcher, you don't celebrate you. You certainly don't disrespect anyone. Celebrating is considered showboating. A little show, buddy. A little showboaty and because of that, when there were a few players along the way that were like a. Ricky Henderson.
Covino
Yeah, I would say he's one of the. One of the OGs. When it came to flashy, he had
Rich Davis
a back it up by being one of the best ever. I think that a lot of times those guys were quieted. They were told like, yeah, that's not the. That's not the big league way. I remember when Bryce Harper came in wearing all his face paint. It was like, all right, slow down.
Covino
That Bryce Harper know players are reminding the world right now that baseball is always was and should be fun.
Rich Davis
Do you?
Covino
It's baseball, dude.
Rich Davis
Do you remember when Ken Griffey Jr. Wore a backwards hat? We made it seem like. Like he was a wild and crazy guy. I was just wearing a backwards hat.
Covino
It's not that serious. I get it. Winning serious. I get it. But you know when you're making big plays, like, do you see these circus plays Manny Machado is making in the infield?
Rich Davis
Yeah.
Covino
It's insane. It's worth. It is worthy of. When high five in the fans that are there.
Rich Davis
When you hit a home run in the World Baseball Classic and you're from a Latin American country. Yeah. These guys are doing elaborate bat flips, spins around. They're stopping in between the bases, hyping up the crowd like they're.
Covino
I'm seeing a lot of funny videos on social media portraying this, too. Like the difference between regular season, mlb, American baseball. Right. And the difference when all these guys are together on one team, Team Puerto Rico, Team doctor, Team Cuba, you know, Team Mexico, they're going next level. Crazy, man. Like I said, world is. World cup vibes. In baseball, when you think of the
Rich Davis
NFL, every time a guy sacks a quarterback, he's got some type of dance or he's shoveling or he's doing some March, a signature move when a guy scores a touchdown. They have orchestrated dances on a turnover. The whole defense goes to the end zone and performs a dance. They practice during the week.
Covino
You know what it proves though, Rich? It proves that within the confines of mlb, these guys tone it down.
Rich Davis
And it's like, yo, yeah, that's what
Covino
I play at their level and at their max and what you're paying them to do. You got to let these dudes have fun and do what they do, embrace what they do.
Rich Davis
There's proof in all this. So again, NFL first downs, quarterback sacks, quarterback, touchdown passes, turnovers. There's a dance and a gesture for everything. In the NBA, you hit A three pointer. Steph Curry's doing his little fall asleep thing. Guys are letting it up. Keeping that, keeping the arm up there. There is dunks where people are hanging and gesturing. Every sport embraces this type of behavior.
Covino
Except for baseball.
Rich Davis
Except for baseball.
Covino
And that's their one flaw. We've been saying baseball's popping. And it is. It's our favorite sport. We're huge. MLB fans. Let these guys. And I'm not saying anyone's not letting them. It's just the culture that has been established. And as a Yankees fan, they're the biggest culprits. They're the most boring, sort of. Well, we don't do that unless we win the World Series. Yo, it's fun. And. And give the fans something to cheer about. You see these people going wild.
Rich Davis
This.
Covino
They're going wild for baseball.
Rich Davis
It makes you.
Covino
We don't see that.
Rich Davis
It makes you say, is it because of the 162 games, is a tournament or.
Covino
No.
Novartis Ad Voice
Is it.
Covino
Is it their. They're countrymen. I think it's Latin players.
Rich Davis
It's the freedom. It's the freedom of not fitting in the MLB box. My example would be, you know when you're in a. In a relationship where you feel like you can't really be yourself.
Covino
Yeah. And, like, because you're not embraced for,
Rich Davis
like, goofiness, like, you almost have to, like, you almost have to pretend to be a version of yourself that you're really not around the girl. The girl you're dating. And then if you meet your wife and this is the right one, you're like, oh, my God, I could be myself. I can make my dumb, dirty jokes. I could. I could say stupid stuff and I could be a clown. And like, she loves me for me.
Covino
She loves me for me.
Rich Davis
Who said that? Blessed union souls.
Covino
I don't listen to that corny stuff.
Rich Davis
She loves me for me.
Covino
You know who's the greatest example of this? For real? I mean, we see it team by team. We see the difference, we see the energy, we see the crowd and the excitement. But your boy Juan Soto is a clear example of having to tone it down for the Mets. And he's a totally different guy with the Dr. Team.
Rich Davis
I don't know if it was because of the Mets, but it's Major League Baseball versus fair.
Covino
Whatever.
Rich Davis
Either way, Juan Soto, playing for the Dominican Republic, resembles a human I've never seen. Yo, he's firing, smiling, he's laughing, he's bat flipping, he's doing everything that I wonder if instinctually this is Juan Soto.
Covino
Or you could say a quick tournament brings out World Series vibes. There's so many, so many ways to look at this, but I really believe that it's when these Latin players get together, that's really how they vibe, and that's who they are, and that's the way it kind of should be.
Rich Davis
Major League Baseball, the girlfriend that's not letting you be who you are.
Covino
I feel that. No, no, no. I don't feel like they're not allowing it. I feel like that's just the old school mindset, and that's why it is. Hey, Leonardo.
Rich Davis
Yeah, hey, Leonardo. Blessed union of souls.
Covino
Hey, Leonardo's the song.
Rich Davis
Not because I look like Leonardo or that guy that played in Fargo. I think his name is Steve.
Covino
Yeah, it sounds.
Rich Davis
She likes me for me.
Covino
Those are great lyrics, bro.
Rich Davis
And her laugh, just like Jim Carrey.
Covino
That's another lyric poetry right there.
Rich Davis
You know what?
Covino
Forget about playing Boston. Play some of that.
Rich Davis
So we'll play both. So here's. Here's. I want to go one step deeper. Remember I said I had a Juan Soto theory?
Covino
Yeah.
Rich Davis
That for any Met fans we have. I know we're on a lot in the east coast parts of New York. I'm a New York kid living in la, so I have all these group chats going on, and my buddies confirmed that, like, Rich, I hate how accurate I think your theory is. Now. I'm not the one that came up with, well, Juan Soto doesn't feel at home in New York. Clearly, that's the reason Steve Cohen cleared house. Later. Pete Alonso later. Nimmo later. Jeff McNeil later. Half the lineup, they kept Lindor because Lindor is, like, a fan favorite. But there's a lot of chatter that Lindor and Juan Soto don't like each other. And it started with Lindor not necessarily welcoming Soto, where Soto thought he deserved a welcome to Queens, welcome to the Mets.
Covino
Well, remember, Aaron Judge was also like the welcoming committee. He was, like, apparently overboard kind and. And friendly with one.
Rich Davis
And that report was from your. Your old pal Mike Francesa, New York sports guy, that said there was rumors that Judge and Soto bonded real quick, where Lindor got the news like we all did a year ago when Soto signed that huge deal and didn't immediately reach out, like, welcome to the Mets. He just sort of let it linger.
Covino
Yeah, he didn't reach out at what I heard.
Rich Davis
No, it's like. It's like one of your friends, God forbid they have a family member die or they get married or do something big and you don't reach out. Like, he didn't reach out. Like, what type of friend are you? Like, you got to reach out, right?
Covino
No, it's like when Stu Gotz was hired here, did we not shoot him a little DM and say, hey, congrats. Look forward to working with you?
Rich Davis
It's a great point. Yo, I didn't know Stu Gotz at all.
Covino
I never met him or worked with him. I knew him.
Rich Davis
But when he got signed, you know what I did, Sam? What's that? I DM'd him. And I said, yo, dude, always enjoyed what you do. Welcome to the fam. Cause that's what you do when you're on a team.
Dr. Nicole Safire
Yeah.
Covino
Or when you want to welcome somebody. Right.
Rich Davis
Did he reply? He did.
Novartis Ad Voice
Oh, good.
Covino
You know what? I'm gonna go look right now, because I think I reached out to.
Rich Davis
Oh, he said he only replies to me, not you.
Covino
No ring notification for Covino. He sent me an eggplant at the staff dinner. What does that mean?
Showboy Mahomes
Covino at the staff dinner? He mistook me for you because he walked up and he's like, dude, I'm so sorry I didn't reply to your DM yet.
Covino
It's been n. Really?
Dan Byer
Yeah.
Covino
And I didn't send a dm. Why did I get the eggplant? That's weird, man. I'm at that.
Rich Davis
That was for Danny, the eggplant. Yeah, that's why.
Covino
Okay, now it makes sense.
Rich Davis
So my. My point is he never felt like Lindor welcomed him. I'm not trying to give you too much shinfo about the Mets, but let's fast forward. We have Lindor two weeks ago, saying this about his relationship with Soto and the team. We've always pulled for each other. We always wanted what's best for each other. We're all best friends. That's not how it works in the clubhouse, but we are friends. We're good teammates. We care for each other. We love for each other. We love each other, and we want the best for each other. You know, and we have a lot of new faces here that guys seem like they're gonna work hard and they're going to do whatever it takes to win. You know, to me, that's what it comes down to. It's all about winning.
Covino
That's Francisco Lindor.
Rich Davis
It's all about winning.
Covino
Mets and his teammates. And that's a good professional answer, a very business answer. But, you know, we don't want. It was too honest of an answer. We don't we want to think you guys are best friends.
Rich Davis
We're not best friends. That's how you're going to win. We're not best friends. We're all professionals and we want to win. Essentially what Lindor said, we're not best friends. We're professionals and we want to win. That's pretty much him saying his relationship with Juan Soto is all business. Here's Juan Soto after his walk off home run for the Dominican Republic. A listen to an animated. You've never heard Juan Soto like this before. So many superstars in this team, but we play like a friend. We play like a family. We're playing like, like a team, you
Covino
know, we're playing team baseball.
Rich Davis
Nobody wants to be the hero. Nobody wants to do more than he's supposed to do. And it's fun to play like that. We're a family.
Covino
Family man.
Rich Davis
We're a family.
Covino
And it's true and it shows. And when you come from that mindset and you're Juan Soto and you're dealing with a guy who's saying things like Lindor saying, I don't know, I'm not, I'm not feeling great about your Mets right now. No writing. So it's right there in front of you. I almost feel like that was a clapback to what Lindor said. It was like a sneak diss. Like, yeah, what did he say? We're all not best friends. Everything. Hey, me here on this doctor team. We're all family and that's why we're winning. This is baseball. This is fun.
Rich Davis
What I want to do. What's that movie from the 90s? Was it Lindsay Lone Parent Trap. Was that the movie Sam? Parent Trap? Beats me.
Covino
Yeah, we don't watch your corny movies.
Rich Davis
That you, Jamie Lee Curtis. No, that's a different movie. No, that's Parent Swap. I mean, that's a movie. That's another video. I watched Freaky Friday. Freaky Friday. There it is.
Covino
Something like that.
Rich Davis
The movie where someone, like, has to reconnect their parents. I feel like I need to do that with Lindor and Soto. Like, both invite them somewhere and be like, hey, guys, that's all. I have a nice dinner.
Ryan Seacrest
We're cool.
Covino
Right, guys? Why don't you ask. Why don't you ask Colin?
Dan Byer
Yes, confirm.
Rich Davis
The Parent Trap. Parent Trap, where Lindsay Lohan's trying to get her parents back together so she, like, sets up a romantic date. Like, I almost feel like someone needs to.
Covino
Like, that's your reference to the Lindsay lohan movie from 2000
Rich Davis
Hong Kong,
Covino
I can't do this. You gotta have that. There it is.
Rich Davis
There it is.
Novartis Ad Voice
Yes.
Rich Davis
It's my reference because I think Lindor and Soto need to be parent trapped in some capacity where they have to learn to love each other.
Covino
All right? They do. If you listen to what they said right there, it's a stark contrast, man. It's like you got different mindsets. And that also shows the different mindset between WBC and mlb. These guys are playing with pride, family, love, understanding. You know, there's so much going on there, and it's visible. It's noticeable. There's a noticeable difference. Like I said, it's cool to see that we're on the same thought, the same train track of consciousness. Everyone's noticing it. Everybody's talking about it. How come the MLB isn't exciting like that? And then there's always the default of, well, it's a long season. I don't know. I think most of the MLB or most of the teams have the same thought process as Lindor when it has to be what Soto's saying about the wbc.
Rich Davis
Did you see Lindor facetiming his Puerto Rican teammates after their. After their win the other day?
Covino
I mean, they had a big win. He was supposed to be part of that team. It'd be even more dangerous if he was.
Rich Davis
My buddy Rob hit us up on the chat. My buddy Rob, who's listening in Florida on the iHeart app, he said. He said, yo, it's definitely a. At least a mild dig. And he said, the thing is, though, now that we've seen Juan Soto doing the Soto shuffle and playing with this enthusiasm, it will be even more abundantly clear if he goes back this season and plays the other way.
Showboy Mahomes
Like, wa. Too much of a contrast.
Covino
Yeah, like.
Rich Davis
Like, the thing is, you got to give Shohei Ohtani credit, Danny, for your Dodgers. Like, he plays consistently with that same love and enthusiasm. Whenever I've seen the guy play. Who, Shohei?
Covino
Oh, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Rich Davis
Yeah. There's got Aaron Judge. I don't see a difference between his love of the game as a Yankee or Team usa. I see such a blatant difference with Juan Soto. So it's an interesting one. We'll see what happens.
Covino
It'll unfurl all these Latin dudes.
Rich Davis
And the other big story, if you're a Detroit Tigers fan and I understand this school has pitched his last pitch with Team usa. He's back already training with the Tigers. He's not going to be with the team anymore. And I understand because remember, he won the arbitration deal, the biggest arbitration separation of all time. The Tigers wanted to give him like a didn't the pack? Then it's the Tigers want to give him like a pack of Cheetos and like, like a stick of gum or something. He's like, no, I want a million, $50 million. This is the biggest arbitration difference of all time. And this is a big contract year for him. He can make probably half a billion, half a billion dollars if he plays his cards right. So I get he's playing it safe. He's going back to the Tigers today.
Covino
All right. Well, the reminder here is Latino players are showing us or reminding us that baseball is fun. And we hope that carries into the regular season. But enjoy the game tonight. Team USA versus Team Mexico. And I can't wait. We'll talk about it tomorrow. We got Showtime, showboy, Mahomes trivia next. Multiple choice. So easy, breezy, beautiful. But your chance to win a CNR on fsr prize packs, some mini nerf footballs and koozies and more. Your Chance to play at 87799 on Fox. We do it next right here on Cavino and Rich.

The Seahawks were stripped of Kenneth Walker III who went to the Kansas City Chiefs, Boye Maffe, who's now a member of the Bengals, and safety Kobe Bryant, who's a member of the Bears. But the super bowl champions and my favorite team did keep Rasheed Shahid just signing into a three year deal worth $51 million. They also re signed quarterback Josh Jobe to a deal so he stays in Seattle. Now former Chiefs quarterback Gardner Minchu is signing a deal with the Cardinals. Carolina Panthers are signing quarterback Kenny Pickett. The Raiders just signed two free agent linebackers, Nakobe Dean and Qu. They played together at Georgia. Dean most recently with the Eagles, Walker with the Packers. They now reunite in Las Vegas. Raiders made the big splash earlier today. Signing center Tyler Linderbaum to a three year, $81 million contract makes him the highest paid interior offensive lineman in the NFL. The Washington Commanders inked edge rusher Adolfe08 to a 14 year deal. Excuse me. Jets sign linebacker Demario Davis to a two year deal. Titans made a bunch of deals today including signing wide receiver Wanda Robinson. And Travis Kelsey's back Kansas City on a one year deal. The Dolphins going to release Tua Tonga Vailoa. He's signing a one year deal with the Atlanta Falcons. 12 year veteran Mike Evans is leaving Tampa to sign a three year deal with the San Francisco 49ers. News has just been everywhere, guys.

Covino
Yeah, that's weak. I hate that.
Rich Davis
But you know what though? The benefit, you lose one measly hour.
Covino
No, but it throws you off a little bit. But like last night I'm like why am I still up?
Rich Davis
But you know what though? It's.
Covino
And my stove clock was wrong.
Rich Davis
It's going to be light out past 5:30 today, which is awesome. That is almost 7pm that is.

Rich Davis
And enjoy your extra hour of nighttime. Nighttime is the right time on the, on the east coast where we're have a lot of affiliates. It's just getting dark now. Usually they're listening to that second half of our show in the, in the pitch dark candlelight from what I understand. But I.
Covino
Still going on about this clock issue, huh?
Rich Davis
Let me tell you about.
Showboy Mahomes
Yeah, Hawaii and Arizona. They're like, this doesn't even apply to us.
Rich Davis
You know what? Can I tell you something? You know what? You asked for it, you got it. I'm going to drop a Rich Davis fun fact.
Covino
Hong Kong, Is it really fun?
Rich Davis
Yeah. Listen to this. I bet you didn't know this nonsense.
Covino
Let's hear it.
Showboy Mahomes
Puerto Rico. Just tuned out.
Rich Davis
Puerto Rico.
Covino
Ho.
Rich Davis
I think when you say Puerto Rico, someone in the room will have to scream ho. All right, all right. On this day, 1984, Iowa. Sam, you weren't even born yet.
Covino
On this day. On this day, new Van Halen came out.
Rich Davis
On this day in 1984, I got a feathered haircut. On this day in 1984, Alan Trammell. Now, on this day in 84, Dan Marino.
Covino
No.
Rich Davis
On this day in 1984, a movie came out that starred Eugene Levy, John Candy, Tom Hanks and Daryl Hanna. Oh, Splash. Splash came out on this day, a legendary movie, hot mermaid. And it changed a woman's name forever. This is a fun fact that I think Covino dropped on me years ago. And I looked it up and it's so true.
Covino
Yeah, I got it from somewhere else.
Rich Davis
It's a wild, fun fact. In the show, in the movie Splash, Tom Hanks, classic Daryl Hanna, they call her Madison because they look up in New York City at Madison Avenue.
Covino
Well, she's a mermaid who didn't have like a name sound like her name
Rich Davis
was Ariel or something, right?
Covino
And they were on Madison Avenue. So she says her name is Madison. And before that, the name really didn't exist.
Rich Davis
The name was a president's name, a street name, maybe James Madison, Dolly Madison, like. But the reality is no women were named Madison. And because the popularity of the movie splash in 1984, probably nowadays, you know, a bunch of millennial women that are 30, 40 something years old, how many Madisons do You know, that you met in college or whatever. My name's Madison.
Covino
It's the Jalen Rose theory, right?
Rich Davis
Yeah. Jalen. Jalen Rose.
Covino
The name never existed until Jalen Rose. His mom made it up.
Rich Davis
Made up name.
Covino
And then ever since then, you see a giant spike of, you know, millions of Jalens around. Do you want to see that?
Rich Davis
That Twitter video that went viral of
Novartis Ad Voice
all these Jalens in the NBA?
Covino
Yeah. All because of Jalen Rose. And I think the mom combined two significant people in her life. Yeah, I believe that's exactly like a Jason and an Allen or something. I don't know. But it was Jalen.
Rich Davis
But it was Jalen. Madison is because of Jalen Rose, which is an amazing fun fact. Name never existed. And Madison. I'm not saying there wasn't a person on earth named Madison, but that became. It went from a nothing to a very popular female name because of the movie Splash.
Covino
Okay.
Rich Davis
Because of Daryl Hannah. Madison Avenue. My name's Hannah. My name's Madison. I guess so. Look at that little fun fact today. I told you I bring something fun.
Covino
What does that to do with clocks?
Rich Davis
No, you said, stop talking about clocks. I said. All right, well, I'll drop a fun fact instead. Oh, okay. Hey, you want to hear something else? Today is.
Covino
I thought he was gonna bring Big Ben into this or something. What does it have to do with
Rich Davis
the time a Big Ben featured in what Chevy Chase movie, European Vacation?
Covino
There it is. Okay. Hey.
Rich Davis
And on this day, one of your favorites, who had the best flat top of the 90s?
Covino
This kid I went to junior high with, Howard Allen.
Rich Davis
Well, if not him.
Covino
Oh, House party. Okay. I was gonna say Brian Bosworth, kid in play.
Rich Davis
House party came out on this day in 1990.
Covino
Ain't gonna hurt nobody. You know, a young Martin Lawrence was in that series, which is wild. Looking back like he turned out to be one of the most famous guys of that, you know.
Rich Davis
Well, we'll continue since we only have 30 seconds left.
Showboy Mahomes
And really quick, Byers Seahawks kept Shaheed three years, $51 million. Yeah. So congrats to him as he walks out the door.
Covino
Congrats, DB And I'm sure lots more moves being made. And as far as tonight, man, keep your on Fox Sports radio for updates. But definitely check out team USA versus Mexico. The history in the WBC is a lot of people associate Mexicans with soccer. Their baseball squad has been growing and they have the USA's number. You know how certain teams just have other teams number?
Rich Davis
Like the Mets can't be the Marvel.
Covino
Yeah. USA can't seem to get over that Mexico hump when it comes to these tournaments. We'll see what happens tonight.
Rich Davis
Let's have a great night. Until tomorrow. Arriba Therechi baby.
Covino
See you in the promised land.
Rich Davis
Goodbye guys, this is Julian Edelman from Games With Names. I want to take a second to talk about something that's personal to me. I've had the privilege of working closely with Robert Kraft for a long time and one thing I've always respected is how seriously he takes up standing up to hate. As a Jewish athlete, my identity is something I am proud of, but I also know what it feels like to be singled out for it. That's why this new commercial for the Blue Square Alliance Against Hate that aired during the big game really hit home. It's about showing up for someone when they're targeted, even if you don't have the perfect words. And sometimes standing next to someone is enough and you can show support by sharing the Blue Square hey, it's Ryan

On Baseball's “Fun Problem”:
On Soto-Lindor Dynamic:
Covino and Rich keep things lively with quick wit, friendly roasting, and balanced sports takes. Serious cultural critiques—like the “fun problem” in MLB—are offset by personal stories, music debates, and exaggerated analogies (“MLB as the girlfriend who won’t let you be yourself”). The collaborative, interactive approach (including trivia and chat feedback) ensures listeners feel part of the action, elevating the conversation beyond routine sports radio commentary.
This episode spotlights how cultural diversity and shifting norms fuel the passion and unpredictability in today’s sports—especially as seen in the WBC. The C&R crew challenge traditional mindsets, question why MLB resists change, and call for a more expressive, joyful brand of baseball, all while keeping laughs and trivia front and center. If you missed it, you’ll walk away energized and more attuned to the culture wars driving fun (or restraining it) in America’s game.
