Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. World Series Game 3: Anatomy of an Instant Classic

• The conversation revolves around what made the game so historic—its length, play quality, tension, and memorable plays.
• Covino and Rich, not fans of either team, express immense respect for everyone involved:
  • "It was an epic game for the ages. History was made and we reaped all the benefits." —Steve Covino [03:11]
  • The composure under pressure, clutch defense, and relentless battle on both sides are highlighted throughout.

Notable Segments & Timestamps

• [03:11–05:59] Post-game Reaction: The guys marvel at how the game was so good, even non-fans were riveted. "I just wanted it to continue," Covino confesses, noting how invested everyone was, regardless of allegiances.
• [08:48] Alejandro Kirk's historic night: Covino honors Kirk as "the first Mexican to ever hit a World Series home run," applauding his leadership and approach at the plate.
• [11:06] Game Length Records: Iowa Sam points out, "So now the Dodgers have the two longest World Series games, the one from 2018 is second. And now this one is number one."
• [12:43] Epic Stats Recap: Covino rattles off stats: "18 innings, 6 hours, 39 minutes, a total of 609 pitches, 130 at bats... 19 pitchers..."
• [15:07] How the game couldn’t have ended: Rich says, “If Alex Call would have won that game on a sac fly...so anticlimactic. So when he popped up to short, I was like, good.” Both agree walk-off wins must be earned in style.

2. Comparisons to Other Classic Games

• [12:51–14:18] The co-hosts debate other top World Series games: 2011's David Freese game, '86 Mets Game 6, Kirk Gibson's homer, and Freddie Freeman's grand slam in 2024.
• Covino: "The difference is...the star power and familiarity with these players...is far superior than that series." [13:07]
• "It's hard to hate on both teams, even if they are the evil empire of today. They're likable guys on the Dodgers and the Blue Jays." —Covino [13:17]

3. The Magic of Baseball and Building Core Memories

• [14:18–15:07, 22:30–23:40] Reflections on what makes baseball so special for families and young fans; the joy of staying up late; the transmission of fandom across generations.

• Covino and Rich share personal anecdotes of their own children forging MLB loyalties, sometimes to Rich's chagrin as his son wants to be a Dodgers fan (cue the “Benny Betts” story [18:27]).

  "I can't force my kid to only like my team...He calls himself Benny Betts...So it's a team—even if you're not a fan, it's very hard to hate on the characters on this team." —Rich Davis [18:27]

4. Who Deserves Allegiance? Parental Dilemmas in Fandom

• [18:26–23:44] The emotional and sometimes comical debate over whether to "let" kids root for the most successful or local team, especially if it differs from the parents’ favorite.
• Covino argues that baseball fandom often feels like part of cultural heritage—“We as Americans don't have a whole lot of culture...Part of your culture is we're Mets. I'm from New York. I'm a Mets guy.” [21:00]
• Ultimately, Rich concedes it’s natural for his LA-raised son to root for the Dodgers, likening it to his own childhood love affair with the 1980s Mets.

5. Personal Reactions & Emotional Investment

• [25:36–27:01] The palpable tension as Clayton Kershaw is called upon, bases loaded, in what may be his final World Series appearance. The whole crew admits getting caught up in the moment:
  • "I couldn't watch. I had to get up and I'm like, I don't know, I'm by the dishes for no reason." —Covino [26:34]
  • "My wife was pulling her sweatshirt over her eyes like, I can't..." —Rich Davis [26:41]

6. Memorable & Light-Hearted Moments

• [39:11] The story of ball boy Brandon, tasked with clearing Will Klein's cleats, complete with "his little weak ass mustache," provides comic relief amid the drama.
• Running jokes about bad haircuts (Freddie Freeman), hip flexor celebrations, Rich's altered state ("I had an edible drink halfway through the game" [27:07]), and in-game celebrity sightings (Justin Bieber, Bert Kreischer) add levity.

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• "I feel so privileged to have witnessed it. I know that sounds corny, but I mean that as a baseball fan..."
  —Steve Covino [03:50]

• "It took perfect throws, a perfect relay to make those plays. And I think if you're going to beat the Dodgers, you gotta take risks."
  —Steve Covino [06:13]

• "I'm a Yankees fan… It's hard to hate both teams, even if they are the evil empire of today."
  —Covino [13:17]

• "If Alex Call would have won that game on a sac fly...so anticlimactic. So when he popped up to short, I was like, good."
  —Rich Davis [15:13]

• "A team with marquee superstars that wins over a city...My son is five, six years old...he's feeling that about these guys. So what type of jerk dad would I be to be like: No, no, no?"
  —Rich Davis [22:04]

• "You pay the big bucks to these guys...because they're likable and that's why you pay the big bucks to these guys."
  —Steve Covino [23:33]

• "It was like Daniel LaRusso's gonna fight...That was Japanese pride, Samurai honor."
  —Rich Davis (on Yamamoto possibly re-entering the game) [25:43]

• "The real hero of that whole situation was the ball boy, Brandon, I think his name was Brandon. Came in with his little weak ass mustache to take the dirt off his cleat."
  —Steve Covino [39:11]

[Steve Covino]

Everybody a little sleepy after game three last night? Unbelievable. Instant classic, dude. It was an epic game for the ages. History was made and we reaped all the benefits. All right, Baseball.

[Rich Davis]

Baseball's right. Hey, from the Fox Sports Radio studio, Covino and Rich. And if you miss any of today's show, I hope you don't. But if you do, you can catch the pod anywhere you get your pods. Just search Covino and Rich and rated five stars. Rate review, follow all that good stuff. We got NFL to get to. We got NBA. But my goodness, we're coming off one of the best baseball games you will ever see in your life.

[Steve Covino]

And we'd be rocking out so great. I'm still processing and we had the entire day to do so. We talked about it on our patreon. We're talking about it to everyone we see. The first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning was the game. Like, oh, my God, I feel so privileged to have witnessed it. I know that sounds corny, but I mean that as a baseball fan, keep in mind, if you're new to the show, I dislike both teams. But I got to tip my hat here to great baseball. And that's what I feel like we saw yesterday because everything counted. And the plays that looked like they were easy plays, they were not. Can you imagine the composure needed to perform at that level in those moments, tracking a in that night sky? You know, the plays that were made were remarkable. Everything counted, everything was highlighted. And just props to everybody involved in that game and everyone that stayed up late and everyone that was there. My goodness, it was epic. And we got to talk about it. 87799 on Fox. 87799 on Fox. Your takeaways. And of course, there was a football game. We all had intentions on checking it out.

[Rich Davis]

I didn't know who won until, like this morning. Football. Football.

[Steve Covino]

Get out of here. I did not know until afterward when I, you know, watched the highlights. It was one of those games last night, Rich, where although it was late on the west coast, I know it's 3:00am Almost 3:00am you must be lonely on the East Coast.

[Rich Davis]

3:00Am Eternal.

[Steve Covino]

KLF is going to rock you. It's 3:00am almost 3:00am you know, we're approaching midnight on the west coast, and I'm sitting there hoping that it continues. That's how exciting it was for me. If you're a Dodgers fan or a Blue Jays fan, I get it, you just want somebody to win. Your stomach's in knots. But me, just as a baseball fan, and we said it the other day, we're on the precipice of a sports renaissance, and baseball being part of that, we're seeing great teams, great games, a great World Series. You know, I just wanted it to continue.

[Rich Davis]

I'm like, let's go for 24 moments of that game, and I'm not even talking about the main ones. We'll talk about. I'm talking about T. Oscar to Edmund to Will Smith. Two perfect throws on a relay to get a Blue Jay trying to score from third.

[Steve Covino]

And it took a perfect relay. I don't fall the Blue Jays at all for taking chances. Even though he was clearly out. It took perfect throws, a perfect relay to make those plays. And I think if you're going to beat the Dodgers, you got to take risks. You got to take those chances.

[Rich Davis]

And you and I were saying how some plays that might seem obvious on a major league level, the, the tense, oh my God, do or die feeling of last night, for instance, varsho and center field, tracking down a ball that it. It's not routine at the fence, arm out like that could have been the end right there.

[Steve Covino]

Made it look routine.

[Rich Davis]

How many times Danny G. As you were texting us, like, what marine layer of air is out there?

[Danny G]

Yeah, those balls were hit like moonshots and then just died right before the fence.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, the Will Smith one was just one of them, but there was, there was a few that you like. Oh, my God. Oh, no.

[Steve Covino]

The Oscar one.

[Dan Byers]

And because of that, the radio call, Stephen Nelson on AM570 here in Los Angeles, I think was a little gun shy because of all the warning track.

[Steve Covino]

Power that I had.

[Rich Davis]

I think Joe Davis was too. He was like deep fly ball to center field before it strikes midnight. Yeah, it was like, I think they were all gun shy. You're right. Because I, I follow him on social media. He's great. The radio announcer.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Fantastic watching him make the calls. But, yeah, there was a little gun shy vibe. Like, is it going?

[Steve Covino]

And anytime something big happens, whether it be in basketball, football or baseball, we always come back excited and we ask Our. Are we prisoners of the moment? I don't think we are. I think that it's one of the top three games of our lifetime. I can't even think of two better. I'm just trying to be fair here. I think this is a game we're going to tell our grandkids about. We're going to be old guys feeding the ducks. I think our nose picking grandkids are.

[Rich Davis]

Going to be like, grandpa, were you.

[Steve Covino]

Alive when it went 18 innings in the World Series and the Dodgers beat the. And you're like, I'll never forget it. You damn sure hit two home runs, Alejandro, by the way, there's so many storylines. Clearly, the unsung heroes like Klein coming through with big moments. Clearly, Freddie Freeman is a World Series hero. But dude, Kershaw, J side Kershaw. But can I say this on a Taco Tuesday? I think it's important for the brown guys. As a half breed, Vato Loco, I feel it's in my, in my duty to say that Alejandro, he had a harp on the duty and ruined my moment.

[Rich Davis]

Duty, Duty.

[Steve Covino]

I'm trying to, man, I'm trying to make a really good point here, you know, for the brown guys, the unsung heroes. Alejandro Kirk, the first Mexican to ever hit a World Series home run. But do you see this guy battling? Dude, he battles and I feel like he sets the tone for these Blue Jays. That scrap when he's in the batter's box, he's falling off pitches, he's working your bullpen. And you know, he obviously wasn't in the later innings of the game, which cost him maybe, but this dude's going to step up big again. And I feel his, his, his approach is contagious with that Blue Jays lineup. So props to him. Props to them too, man, because I don't feel like they lost the game in any way. Somebody had to win. And Freddie Freeman hit a bomb, dude.

[Danny G]

So that's another thing that nobody's really talking about, though. Will Smith never came out. So he was back there, you know, catching that entire almost seven hours. He must be in an ice bath still right now.

[Steve Covino]

That's such a great point. You know, honestly, I feel like you're the first. You're the first guy I heard even mention it, Danny. That's the truth. I didn't even think about that. Took it totally for granted.

[Rich Davis]

They Blue Jays backup catcher had four at bats. They played two games. He played two games back to back behind the dish in a terribly stressful situation.

[Steve Covino]

All right, so clearly we're excited. And keep in mind, Rich and I are not Dodgers fans. I'm a Yankees fan. Rich.

[Rich Davis]

I don't know.

[Steve Covino]

I feel like he's on the fence. We'll explain. Danny G. Dodgers fan, Iowa. Sam, you mean to tell me that you're a Dodgers fan and you didn't find that to be an amazing game last night? Who said that? I don't know who said. Rich, you said that.

[Iowa Sam]

I didn't.

[Steve Covino]

Never.

[Iowa Sam]

I never said that.

[Rich Davis]

Like a frown when I walked in.

[Iowa Sam]

No, I was just saying that. Like, you can have.

[Rich Davis]

Was it a little long?

[Iowa Sam]

You could have sliced out four, Four or five innings in the back half of that.

[Rich Davis]

You couldn't have that.

[Iowa Sam]

Sure you could have.

[Rich Davis]

That was what made it magical.

[Iowa Sam]

Like, that's why we have the games at nine innings and not 12 innings. It's not a game of cricket. But I love the game. Like, I was just like, okay, let's just end this. Like, it was say, no, you have to run this.

[Steve Covino]

Let's just end this. No.

[Iowa Sam]

I spent my emotional. I burned my emotional gunpowder from the fifth inning to the. To the seventh inning and then it was like, locked up, locked up, locked up. And just kept going. It was a draw. It was a stalemate. And the client stuff was amazing, but it was just like, oh, my God, when it's the 15th inning, the 16th inning, bro. So now the Dodgers have the two.

[Danny G]

Is this true?

[Iowa Sam]

The two longest World Series games, the one from 2018 to second. And now this one is number one.

[Steve Covino]

That is crazy. And 39 minutes.

[Iowa Sam]

No, it was. I watched the whole thing front to back. It was amazing.

[Rich Davis]

It was really long. When they were showing the highlights from earlier in the game. Game. And it was like daytime.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

It's like, let's go back to the end. You're like, wait a minute.

[Iowa Sam]

People playing that you don't remember playing or like certain at bats.

[Dan Byers]

I'm going to just call the series. Dodgers lead it two and a half to one and a half because you get a half. You tie because of how long and make it that way because it was crazy. You mentioned two full games.

[Danny G]

They almost ran out of baseballs.

[Steve Covino]

I know.

[Rich Davis]

You know what?

[Steve Covino]

Here's some. They almost ran out of pitchers. Danny G. This is that viral meme that you sent us. 18 innings, 6 hours, 39 minutes, a total of 609 pitches, 130 at bats. That's crazy. 130 at bats. 19 pitchers. We witnessed last night five home runs, which is kind of low in an 18 inning game with two powerhouses, but five home runs, big home runs, four Ohtani intentional walks, but he got on.

[Danny G]

Four and a half.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. On base nine times. Insane Clayton Kershaw got in the game. Rich has a whole thought on that, but that itself was an event. And we found Waldo finally. I don't know if you saw that. We found Waldo last night in the middle of all the melee, stars were out. People stayed up late. On a side note, if your kid stayed up late to watch, did you send them to school? If you were at the game and you're a little kid, do you go to school the next day to brag about it or do you stay home?

[Rich Davis]

No, you go to school to break.

[Steve Covino]

You know, I'm glad we stayed up late because again, we'll never forget this game. I truly believe it's one of those games we'll talk about for years and we'll never forget.

[Rich Davis]

There's very few games that you could put in the category of this game. The only one that comes to mind right out the gate is that the David Freeze Cardinals.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Yep.

[Rich Davis]

Texas Rangers game that went back and forth, lead changes and everything. There's only a few games that are of that level and magnitude.

[Steve Covino]

You know what the difference is, though? And I remember that game clear as day. I think the star power and familiarity with these players and these teams is far superior than that series.

[Rich Davis]

I agree.

[Steve Covino]

There's so many superstars on the Dodgers. You're really impressed by the Blue Jays and who they are. You're getting to know them. If you're not a Blue Jays or an American League fan. I feel like the star power is much greater. And here's the craziest part of all. Unless you're some sort of Mr. Grundy, some sort of grumpy kind of a hole, Both teams are very likable. And I have a hard time saying that again. I'm a Yankees fan. It's hard to hate on both teams, even if they are the evil empire of today. They're likable guys on the Dodgers and the Blue Jays. Blue Jays are a great team. Dodgers are extremely likable. Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Clayton Kershaw. Is there some J hole out there? I don't even know what that means.

[Rich Davis]

What's a J hole?

[Steve Covino]

I don't know. Figure it out.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Jerk hole.

[Dan Byers]

Doesn't this get a little old, though?

[Jonas Knox]

I like it.

[Steve Covino]

I like it.

[Rich Davis]

I'm in it. I'm in it.

[Steve Covino]

I don't like the hip flexor. You're right.

[Rich Davis]

Hip flexor.

[Steve Covino]

Likable.

[Danny G]

Yeah, well, Brenda always says it's kind of goofy, and that makes him a little Kind of likable because they don't take themselves too serious.

[Steve Covino]

Shohei had to do three before he was acknowledged yesterday. Yeah. He was left hanging. He did one. No one did anything.

[Rich Davis]

He did it again.

[Steve Covino]

No one noticed.

[Rich Davis]

He did it again.

[Steve Covino]

And finally, I love it.

[Rich Davis]

The same way when my lowly Mets do their little roll into the fist, you know, the fist pump. I love those type of things.

[Steve Covino]

Kind of corny, but whatever.

[Rich Davis]

The kids on my. The kids on my T ball team, I. You know, we do that when they get a big hit, like, you know, do the Dodger thing. Listen, there's so many layers. I just want to hit out a couple points right now.

[Steve Covino]

Go ahead.

[Rich Davis]

Alex Call could have ended this game with a sac fly. And I'm so glad he didn't, because a game like that.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah. Iowa. Sam was like, come on, hit the ball in the outfield. Spot. Spot was like, can this game end the.

[Iowa Sam]

We were locked at 5 for 11 innings. I locked at 5 for 11. Exactly.

[Steve Covino]

It was great.

[Rich Davis]

I. I thought that if Alex Call would have won that game on a sac fly, it. There's something just so anticlimactic about that. So when he popped up to short, I was like, good. I was rooting for the Dodgers. But I'm like, that's. Yeah, it can't end like all that.

[Steve Covino]

And I agree. I didn't want any intentional. I mean, like, forced walk at home. That would have been so weak.

[Rich Davis]

After there was another moment that was like, oh, my God. Just the nerves and the fun. Sasaki, when he almost underhand threw the ball too low for Freddie at first, and then you see him smiling like, the nerves. But Freddie walking it off. I mean, it couldn't have been more perfect for a guy that. The only guy in Major league baseball history to do it two times now.

[Steve Covino]

A perfect bomb, too. Dead center, like, right over. Was it 385? 395. Right over the 395 mark.

[Danny G]

And to DB's point earlier about how Steven Ne was gun shy. I heard them play the call on SportsCenter early this morning, and I'm like, that's the call. Because, yeah, he didn't want to just assume it was a home run after everything we saw.

[Rich Davis]

There was like, the boy that cried home run. Because three. Three shots before that were all arguably like, oh, my God, it might be gone.

[Steve Covino]

But you know, what tells the story years from now if kids ever bring that up, like that was the call, like, yeah, but you don't understand. There was a few bombs hit prior to that and then it makes more sense. So I get it, I get it.

[Rich Davis]

We listen amateurs get tricked all the time. You watch a game with someone even at the stadium, like, oh my God, it's just a pop up. Let's sit down. Baseball fans that are seasoned were all tricked live and in television everywhere on that Will Smith one. It looked like he got all of it. And the, the saber metrics, stats and everything show that every ball hit at.

[Steve Covino]

That trajectory launch angle, Smith was 102 mph exit velocity off the bat. Yeah. So you could see how for everybody too, right?

[Iowa Sam]

Like the 13th or 14th, I was like, this one's got. This one's going to end it.

[Rich Davis]

Nope, Everybody's. Can you play the final radio call just to prove that even the best were a little gun shy in that moment.

[Steve Covino]

Full count on Freeman. Little delivers Freeman. It's one high in the air straightaway, center field.

[Jonas Knox]

Varsho at the wall.

[Rich Davis]

Gone W Eddie Freeman.

[Jonas Knox]

Mr. World Series ends the marathon at midnight.

[Danny G]

At first it just sounded like a pop up, like one of the many pop ups.

[Rich Davis]

He ramped up to it at the very end because the first like hit to deep center field. It's going back.

[Steve Covino]

Grandpa, Grandpa, what happened there? Well, let me tell you, kid, the air was really thick that night. It was a thick aired night in October. What does that mean, Grandpa? I don't know, but it was wild to see. It was the atmosphere, man. I was keeping all the balls in last night.

[Rich Davis]

It's. There's so many layers and so many things to mention. But I want to focus on one thing, okay?

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Okay.

[Steve Covino]

Because I got something.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

I got.

[Steve Covino]

We got, we all have something. 87799 on Fox.

[Rich Davis]

I, I finally did it yesterday. I bought my kid a Dodgers jersey.

[Steve Covino]

Oh boy.

[Danny G]

What?

[Rich Davis]

Because he's, he's in T ball. I'm a Mets fan. Golf claps. But I can't force my kid to only like my team. He's like, dad, I love the Mets, but he calls himself Benny Betts. I was telling you so last night I said, you know what? Amazon overnight let me buy him a blue Mookie Betts jersey. He calls himself Benny Betts. So it's a team like you said. Even if you're not a fan, it's very hard to hate on the characters on this team.

[Steve Covino]

Here's what I think when you say that you grew up a Mets fan. Your whole life from New York. Your son's growing up in la, but of course he'll appreciate the Mets, because Dad does. But there were certain athletes growing up that transcended sports, and we all know who they were. Even if you were a Knicks fan, you had a Jordan poster in your room. Even if you were a Yankees fan, you had a Ken Griffey Jr. Poster in your room, Right? So if you're a Giants fan, you had a Bo Jackson poster in your room. There's certain athletes that transcended sports and this entire dynasty, the stars there, all of those dudes are along that caliber. Wookie Betts, Shohi Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and even a Kershaw, like certain guys. And we're growing up in a time where you root for players.

[Rich Davis]

I get it.

[Steve Covino]

He's allowed to do that.

[Rich Davis]

I have to accept it. You know, our. Our boss Scott, who's a big Minnesota guy, he was there with his kids who are Dodgers fans. Your kids could, you know, root for your team with you.

[Steve Covino]

But did boss Scott stay the whole time?

[Rich Davis]

He did.

[Danny G]

He did. And his was wearing a Freeman jersey.

[Steve Covino]

Big Freddy fan. Oh, my God.

[Rich Davis]

To me. I changed my mind. I think. If your kids growing up in a city, why are you going to force your. They can root with you, but you can't just force all your alliances on.

[Steve Covino]

That's what your family is on your family CREST. You have Mr. Met. You know, you come from a long line of losers. I mean, Mets fans growing up in.

[Iowa Sam]

The city, though, they're surrounded by fans that are rooting for the Dodgers.

[Rich Davis]

All his little buddies are Dodgers fans. The Dodgers are great. My son loves baseball. So it's like, what am I going to do back? No, no, no.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

I'm saying you do.

[Dan Byers]

You say you love them more than me. That's what you say to them.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

Wait a second.

[Dan Byers]

Yeah. No, I'm totally kidding, guys. I'm joking.

[Steve Covino]

Nobody laughed.

[Dan Byers]

I'm kidding.

[Steve Covino]

I'm kidding. You should not say that because is he a Mookie Betts fan or a Dodgers fan?

[Rich Davis]

He likes the Dodgers.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that's tough, man.

[Rich Davis]

But you know what? I thought about it.

[Steve Covino]

Tell him to not be a little front runner.

[Rich Davis]

And I'm like, you know what? He's an LA kid. What do I care?

[Iowa Sam]

What connection to New York does he have?

[Steve Covino]

Because you come from a long line of Mets.

[Iowa Sam]

Outside of dad, not many long lines.

[Rich Davis]

Long line. Team's been around since the 60s. Long line meaning, like, my bad.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but I mean, I feel like it's part of like, look, we as Americans don't have a. A whole lot of culture. Right. We're a melting pot. And our country's not that old. Part of your culture is we're Mets. I'm from New York. I'm a Mets guy. So you like the Mets? Everyone out here, it's primarily transplants. A lot of transplants out here. He's allowed to like the Mets. He's making a choice. You could help, but it's a.

[Rich Davis]

It's a smart choice. I'm not going to force him to like my team if he's like dad.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, but baseball's different.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Football.

[Steve Covino]

I get it.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Football.

[Steve Covino]

There's weird alliance allegiances and weird choices you make as a football fan. Baseball. So you stay within the family, bro. That's how I feel. But it's your kids, so what do I know?

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Yeah.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, what am I gonna do? Be like.

[Steve Covino]

No, don't.

[Rich Davis]

Like the greatest team with all the greatest characters.

[Steve Covino]

I say you root for the Mets. But it's okay that you like Betts and Ohtani and these guys. They're great players. You like. You're a fan of greatness. I get it.

[Dan Byers]

You know what you hope for? You hope for the Mets to go on a run, so then they become winners. The Dodgers maybe hit hard times. And then he's.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah.

[Dan Byers]

And then he's pulled back in. And that's what happens.

[Steve Covino]

You gotta keep them. True.

[Rich Davis]

But then I asked myself, how did I. How did I fall in love with The Mets? The 80s, when they were great with Daryl and Gooden and Gary Carter, Keith Hernandez. So a team with marquee superstars that wins over a city is why I became a Mets fan when I was five, six years old. My son is five, six years old. So the way I felt about Gary Carter and Keith and Daryl, he's feeling that about these guys. So what type of jerk dad would I be to be like.

[Steve Covino]

No, no, no. And not only that. Not only for your kid. Yeah. Millions of kids all over the world that were watching this game worldwide, Japanese fans on the edge of their seat. Right. You got all of Canada watching you, got everybody tuning into these big superstars. These are core memories for the little kids. These little kids will never forget that heroic moment of Freddie Freeman hitting that bomb, you know? And it gives hope that even little kids with bad haircuts could still be great.

[Rich Davis]

You think Freddie Freeman got a bad haircut?

[Steve Covino]

I mean, are you shopping for a flat top? But anyway, yes.

[Iowa Sam]

Down and give me 20.

[Steve Covino]

Great, great, great.

[Rich Davis]

Dental.

[Steve Covino]

Where you, Mr. Buzzcut.

[Danny G]

Also, what makes it interesting, I think living in the city we're in right now is that it's one of the few cities that baseball, MLB is more popular than NFL and we have both teams. So think about it. Rich, you're I rem daughter told them I don't want that Ram stuff. Your kids aren't selling out for the Rams and Chargers. They're true to your Niners.

[Rich Davis]

My kids are Niners. I'm Niners and Mets. My kids, Niners and Dodgers.

[Steve Covino]

Truthfully though, Rich, I bet you the Dodgers are converting a lot of little kids out there because they're that good and they're that likable and that's why you pay the big bucks to these guys. Well, your thoughts?

[Rich Davis]

I got two more quick little things and we'll take your feedback. We're going to get to NFL too, and I see the phones are hot. So your thoughts on last night? Was it a top three game in the last 50 years? The answer is yes. If not, I want to know the other games. World Series games, that is. There's been some playoff games and.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

But.

[Rich Davis]

But World Series games. It's hard to argue this is in a top three of at least the last 50 plus years because there's so.

[Steve Covino]

Many storylines and so many moments. I didn't even mention Yamamoto yet. We didn't even get to the or Edmond.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, I'm going to be a get to it. You know, I'm going to be a absolute homer in saying this, but I mean you. Who wouldn't argue that? Mets 86, game six, two outs and you know, you score three runs. David Freeze against the Rangers and this one. I can't think of any other World Series game.

[Danny G]

Kirk Gibson in there.

[Rich Davis]

The Gibson. So that's it. So now you're talking. That's four. Would you what's a better game for you as a Dodgers and this or Freddie with the grand slam last year? I don't know but that was, you.

[Dan Byers]

Know, it's last year had to be the grand slam.

[Rich Davis]

Freddie, meet Gibby.

[Danny G]

Yeah, it was definitely less exhausting. So.

[Rich Davis]

So, you know, you rounded out with.

[Steve Covino]

Us, but the fact that it was 18 innings I think adds to it.

[Rich Davis]

The only thing it was missing. The only thing it was missing, and here I'm being very nitpicky, is someone scoring an extras and the other team matching them.

[Steve Covino]

I thought that was going to happen.

[Rich Davis]

I love when that happens. Let's say the Blue Jays had put up a one spot in the top of the 14th and the Dodgers come back and tie it with one. Like the only thing that was missing was maybe a little offense in those tense moments. But two observations and we'll break and take all your feedback. The only thing we missed out by this game not going 20 something innings. Didn't you want to see the warrior mentality of Yamamoto? The guys that they removed from pigeon of complete game, straight up warrior.

[Steve Covino]

You know what that was? It was like, Daniel LaRusso's gonna fight. There was some like Japanese interpreter come in.

[Rich Davis]

That was Japanese pride, Samurai honor. Like, like he was. That would have been the most crazy thing in the world if Yamamoto's like, like, I'm pitching, yo.

[Steve Covino]

He was warming up, though. That was so.

[Rich Davis]

That was insane. And as a just a fan of sports, your stomach had to be in knots when they called Clayton Kershaw's number with the bases loaded, two outs, and then when it was a full count and you're like, don't throw a ball. Don't end this way. Clayton. When he got out of that inning, I felt like a Dodgers fan for a split second. And I'll say it, I really did.

[Steve Covino]

I wasn't even. That wasn't an easy play by Edmond.

[Danny G]

And by the way, Kershaw did throw a ball. Just got lucky because, you know, he chased it.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, yeah, well. And then there was like two or three foul balls.

[Rich Davis]

Those foul balls.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, my God, Danny.

[Rich Davis]

I. I felt like in those moments, it had to be in my life. A top three moment of where I was invested, not with my team.

[Steve Covino]

I couldn't watch. I had to get up and I'm like, I don't know, I'm by the dishes for no reason.

[Rich Davis]

My wife was.

[Steve Covino]

You know the feeling.

[Rich Davis]

My wife was. My wife was pulling her sweatshirt over her eyes like, I can't. And if you follow my.

[Steve Covino]

It's cause you farted because you were so nervous.

[Rich Davis]

If you follow my Instagram, Kavino swears that I was like getting drunker or higher as the game went on. I was just slap happy and a little. I was just terribly stressed and tired like everyone else.

[Steve Covino]

While you make the call, go to Rich's Instagram story right now.

[Jonas Knox]

All right, I had Rich Davis.

[Rich Davis]

I had an edible drink halfway through the game.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, well, there it is.

[Rich Davis]

That wasn't it. You could tell by pure jubilation and jubilee in this game.

[Steve Covino]

The game last night really brought out the glassy eyed.

[Rich Davis]

You know what? Decide for yourself and we'll take all your feedback. Next on the Dodgers. Was it a top three World Series game over the last 50 years.

[Steve Covino]

I hate to say it, but I don't trust much of anything.

[Ad Voice or LEGO Representative]

It's the rage bait.

[Rich Davis]

It feels like it's trying to divide people. We got clear facts. Maybe we could calm down a little.

[Steve Covino]

NBC News brings you clear reporting. Let's meet at the Facts. Let's move forward from there. NBC News reporting for America. We were all up till the wee hours of the night. C and R. Uh huh huh? Huh? CNR on FSR Covino and Rich. Now we need you guys to stick around for another half hour at least because we're about to make radio history. We purchased. We made a purchase.

I needed something like that. I thought that was just so much fun, dude. And I woke up. Like I said, you know when you wake up and you assess your morning, like, do I need to be grumpy about anything? Is everybody healthy? You know, you look at your phone and you hope you don't say anything bad. I woke up and I immediately start smiling. So I'm like, that game last night was electric. That was awesome. That's why we love sports. It brings people together. The excitement in the air. So much fun to talk about. And we all got to witness it worldwide last night, you know. And you know what, hold on. Here's the best part. We do it again today with game four.

[Rich Davis]

Today. I don't know if I can handle it.

[Steve Covino]

Oh my God.

[Rich Davis]

Today the Blue Jays win in a weird game and it's tied, two tails. That's my instinct.

[Steve Covino]

I love it.

[Rich Davis]

Or the Dodgers just step up over like that might have been the.

[Danny G]

Or Ohtani throws a no hitter.

[Rich Davis]

I mean, does Ohtani get a mulligan if he, if he has a rough outing? Do you give him a mulligan for everything he's done up to this point?

[Iowa Sam]

He didn't sleep well.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah. Stand by.

[Dan Byers]

How do you guys think Shane Beaver is going to do.

[Rich Davis]

I heard you say that. I heard you say that.

[Dan Byers]

I know Rich's head turned right to Cavino and I could hear him say. I think he just said Jane Beaver. You saw it right Well, I know what I said. I'm like, how did I say beaver?

[Steve Covino]

Rich can't let those things pass. But when he fumbles a word, we're all supposed to pretend like it didn't happen.

[Rich Davis]

Act like a pro, Kavit. You know, act like you've been there. But you did say beaver, so, Shane Beaver tonight. First Ohtani.

[Dan Byers]

It's more fun.

[Danny G]

Let's be real. Justin Bieber in attendance again.

[Steve Covino]

He was. Bieber was there.

[Danny G]

Thumbs down during an Ohtani homer.

[Steve Covino]

And that also made it fun.

[Rich Davis]

You know where you saw Bieber? On Bert Kreischer's Instagram story. You know Bert Kreischer, the comedian that takes his shirt off? We all know Bert. Bert was sitting, like, five rows behind Bieber, and he was like, not shy, man. He's like, yeah, we're here. Yeah, there's Bieber.

[Steve Covino]

Look at him.

[Rich Davis]

Look at him. Oh, look, there's Al Michaels. Like, so he was a fun follow last night, our pal Bert Kreischer.

[Steve Covino]

You were a fun follow because you were.

[Jonas Knox]

You were.

[Steve Covino]

You could. You could say.

[Rich Davis]

You think I was high. I was feeling nice.

[Steve Covino]

Okay. Feeling nice.

[Danny G]

Rich's eyes were looking like paheads.

[Steve Covino]

His eyes, yes. Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

You can see more like potheads.

[Rich Davis]

Kids were sleeping. The wife and I were just having such a lovely night watching this game. We had other plans. Like, the kids went to sleep early, and we're like, all right, I'm going to get some recording done from Sirius xm and we'll watch a movie. We'll watch one of our shows after the Dodgers game, it ended up being such a memorable night. And I want to say something my wife said, as a casual fan, you know, she doesn't watch clearly as much as I do, but she said the juxtaposition, and she did use that word.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

You owe her five dollars.

[Rich Davis]

Between watching Clayton Kershaw come in there with his grizzled gray beard, knowing that this could be the last inning he pitches in a Hall of Fame career, his family. You had a nervous stomach. It brought fans to tears. And then you see.

[Steve Covino]

Oh, that's why your eyes were all glassy like that. It was emotions. I get it.

[Rich Davis]

See, now you're getting it. It was all emotions, Covino. But you watch, and you see Clayton Kershaw go through that emotional high of. This is. It could be my last pitch, my last inning. Bases loaded, two outs, full count. And then the guy's. Fallon pitches off, and you're like, jesus, Chris. Oh, my. Like, I was. Danny. I was pacing like, I Said before my wife was pulling her head into her sweatshirt, she couldn't watch. And then you go from Kershaw to Henriquez and then Klein.

[Danny G]

Yeah, and by the way, Henrique is wild at times. Throws like 102 miles per hour. But during the regular season we saw him throw wild pitches. And so when he came in, I was like, oh please.

[Rich Davis]

Did hit him at least he did.

[Danny G]

I was like, oh please, keep it.

[Dan Byers]

In the strike zone.

[Rich Davis]

But Danny, when I'm saying. Let me just say that one more time, just the juxtaposition, which is such.

[Steve Covino]

A great word, you just wanted to.

[Rich Davis]

Say that again of a guy, that it's the end. And then you turn to the next inning to a 23 year old Venezuelan kid who's probably like, oh my God, I'm way in over my head. I'm usually wild, throwing 102. And then you go to a guy that started the season with the A's, was with the Mariners, just made the postseason roster a couple days ago, and he's put in the position to be the hero. Like everything about it was special.

[Danny G]

How about on the other side, the Blue Jays? Lauer, what do you throw 70 pitches as a relief?

[Steve Covino]

Dude, that was wild. The Blue Jays played a great game too. They just happened to be on the losing end of it. So props to both, both teams. You mentioned Klein, Rich. His story in itself is amazing. Started with the A's, then the Mariners got bounced around. Now he's celebrating with superstars in the game. Comes up big. Hearing him talk about 70 something pitch performance. His career high before that was 36 pitches or whatever. And the most unsung heroes, not even Will Klein.

[Rich Davis]

But hold on to hear him talk about it though. Cove. We listened to it earlier, you and I, where he's saying when Freddie, Shohei Mookie and those guys are cheering around him. He said it's like it's better than what he possibly could have ever dreamt in. Like his fantasies.

[Steve Covino]

Yeah, yeah. Imagine if you told this guy in.

[Rich Davis]

The beginning, we're talking about the red.

[Steve Covino]

Headed bearded guy in the beginning of the giant leprechaun. You're going to be in a Game 3 World Series moment where Shohei Mookie and Freddie Freeman are all cheering you on. He would be like, no way. You're out of your mind.

[Rich Davis]

That's cute.

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

No way.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah.

[Steve Covino]

And it happened. And he got the win last night. But the real hero of that whole situation was the ball boy, Brandon, I think his name was Brandon. Came in with his little weak ass mustache to take the dirt off his cleat. Did you see that?

[Ad Voice or Odoo Representative]

Yes.

[Rich Davis]

And it made all the difference. Didn't that also add to just what a bizarre, wild, fun, memorable night it is? Like in the middle of all that chaos, Brandon it was almost a moment of levity too. Because when he comes out there and you see like a popsicle stick and.

[Steve Covino]

You see Klein like realizing, what is it called, tongue depressor to take the mud off.

[Rich Davis]

At one point you realize Klein's like, I can't really reach my cleat the right way. He does it. He pats the ball boy. And they both give like a smirking smile laugh in the middle of the most tense game of their lives.

[Steve Covino]

So memorable. So many memorable moments. And we'll get to all your phone calls. How about that? 87799 on Fox. We get to you right after Dan Byers update. What up db?

[Dan Byers]

Should also be noted. Steve Cavino liked my tweet about that incident of the bat boy running to the mound.

[Steve Covino]

You know why, Dan? Cause I don't care what kind of guy you are. I'm a Dan Byers guy. I'm a Dan Byer.

[Rich Davis]

I'm really not on Twitter much, Dan, but I'll go now. Just I'll repost it and say, you're the man, Dan. How about that?

[Dan Byers]

The alert popped up. Liked by Steve Covino, not by Covino and Rich. Sometimes it's the show, but this was a Steve Cavino solo shot. Dodgers up to one Shane Bieber against Shohei Ohtani tonight. Blue Jays and Dodgers coverage on Fox 4. Game 4 the World Series is at 7 o' clock Eastern Time. Some news from the NFL the Saints are going to start rookie Tyler Shook at quarterback Week 9 against the Rams, replacing Spencer Rattler, who will now be the backup for New Orleans. Bills place defensive tackle Ed Oliver on injured reserve with a torn biceps while Chiefs running back Isaiah Pacheco suffered a sprained MCL in last night's win over the Commanders. He's considered week to week, according to the Chiefs have the Bills coming up in Week 9, then a buy in Week 10. Chiefs stopped the Commanders in that game last evening. No Jaden Daniels for Washington, but head coach Dan Quinn said today that Daniels should be in the practice plan this week. Patriots and corner Marcus Jones agreed on a three year extension. Bucs forward Kyle Kuzma should play tonight against the Knicks after missing Sunday's game with an ankle injury. And finally, guys, I don't know if you've seen it. Saudi Arabia plans to build a sky stadium.

[Rich Davis]

Dude, I saw that and you know, in an AI world db I was like, I don't know. Is this true? This that looks absurd.

[Dan Byers]

For the 2034 World cup it would be more than 380 yards above ground level. Yes. And would be a sight for the these soccer matches in eight years. A skyscraper scraper with a stadium on top.

[Rich Davis]

Honestly, I can't even when I saw it, I'm like, no, look at AI with this sora dude. It is insane. In fact, if Dan Byer posted, I'll make sure to retweet it for you guys to see the stadium. It's. You know. In fact I just retweeted you saying I'm a damn buyer guy.

[Steve Covino]

No. All right, thank you and thank you Dan Byer. So we get you involved next. Everybody hang tight. There's lots to say about the game last night and like I said, we still have another one today, so.

[Rich Davis]

Oh, and we debut a new member of the show.

[Steve Covino]

That's right.

[Rich Davis]

We made a purchase.

[Steve Covino]

We'll explain.

[Rich Davis]

It's gonna be awesome.

[Steve Covino]

Awesome.

[Rich Davis]

All Next. CNR on FSR. Hang tight.

My dad would say why you kissing ass? Will you kissing ass? But I just emailed the boss to tell him that I was happy to hear that he stayed at that game last night.

[Rich Davis]

I mean even if he didn't, he should Tell everyone he did. Oh, yeah, but I did see the footage on his Facebook page.

[Steve Covino]

No, but major cool dad points. If that's the game you chose to take your family to, you're able to go. And it's one of those instant classic epic games like that that's hitting the sports baseball jackpot.

[Rich Davis]

I feel bad, but there are people that were deciding what game should I buy tickets to, and they're probably very angry if they chose today. I mean, I'm sure he's pitching, Bieber's pitching. I'm sorry, Beavers pitching. It could be a great game. But off the heels of that, I don't know, I just feel like, how do you, how do you stack up against one of the greatest ever?

[Steve Covino]

Well, we'll see now. Now we're getting to your phone calls. But first, it's time for our tire rack play of the day. People are running out of adjectives to describe last night's game three of the World Series. Freddy Freeman finally got a ball to break through the thick LA smog. 1150 in Los Angeles.

[Jonas Knox]

Freeman sends a fly ball to center field.

[Steve Covino]

Varshow's going back before the cat strikes midnight.

[Rich Davis]

Barney Freeman has ended it.

[Steve Covino]

It's a repeat hero with the last.

[Rich Davis]

Word on a game three classic. Wow. Wow is wow. That is courtesy of of course Fox tv, our tyrant play of the day, Joe Davis's call. Now, for over 40 years, Tyrack's been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive ship fast and free, backed by free road hazard protection, convenient installation options like mobile tire installation, tire rack.com the way tire.

[Rich Davis]

What's up, Kevin?

[Caller or Guest]

What's up, fellas? Hey, as a Dodger fan, you know, ass is kicked by the braves in the 90s. To be able to celebrate this run has been amazing. I mean, that game within itself felt like a movie in Hollywood. It started out with the Kirk three run homer and then Ohtani coming back with a double to tie and Ohtani getting the home run to tie the game and saying we're not losing. I mean, we didn't even talk about Ohtani in the two home runs and then you get to the extra innings. Kershaw, the hall of Famer coming in cold with the bases loaded. By the way, get this guy out the ball. Three and two count. Oh, my God, Kevin getting the guy out and then you got Will Klein with the kid, the bat boy, like it's a. Like it's a movie. The guy smiling like it's a game in June.

[Jonas Knox]

Kevin.

[Rich Davis]

I just watched the footage where they did a split screen of Kershaw and his wife in the crowd. And not to be corny on you, I got a little emotional. When you see his wife and you see the emotions and stress she is feeling in that moment and what she's probably been through married to him all these years, watching his career, that how could you not feel for that? Oh, my God. Paul in Orlando. What's up, Paul?

[Steve Covino]

Hey, Paul.

[Caller or Guest]

Hey, guys, thanks for taking the call. Get three observations. A fourth if you think I earn it.

[Rich Davis]

Yeah, what you got?

[Caller or Guest]

So the first one is best line of the broadcast. Joe Davis, 18th inning, saying will Klein. Guys, he didn't have a beard when this game started.

[Rich Davis]

I did laugh at that one. I was like, that was a good quick one liner.

[Caller or Guest]

Second observation. You guys kind of stole my unsung VP MVP with the bat boy and the tongue depressor. But how about another unsung mvp? Dieter the organist. Oh, yeah, his hands in contrast, basketball, bro.

[Rich Davis]

He was great. And every.

[Caller or Guest]

Another full game.

[Rich Davis]

He did a second seventh inning stretch and he was playing all songs that were appropriate. Yeah, the organ player was fantastic. All right, you earned your fourth one. Do you have one? One last one?

[Caller or Guest]

Yeah. Third. Third observations. A personal one here. I started out the game texting with Dodger fans, fellow Dodger fans in Denver and Portland. Not unusual for a west coast game. But get this. I ended the game texting with a colleague traveling in Africa who woke up in time. And the game was so long, he's able to catch the end of the game wild.

[Rich Davis]

But honestly, everything about it, I'm hoping everyone feels the way we did, but it was just a magical night of baseball. And it ended the way it had to end with. With, like I said, a superstar hitting a walk off it. It would have felt so flat, like I said, if it was like an Alex call saxophone.

[Iowa Sam]

I think Smoltz made the comment that the commanders were already back on the flight and in home in bed, and they were able to watch the end of the game.

[Steve Covino]

That's.

[Rich Davis]

That's crazy in itself. So we're going to get to a little NFL next because let's just say a new purchase was made on this show and we debut a new character here on CNR next.
