Introduction

In this episode of The Dan Patrick Show, hosts Covino and Rich Davis step in to guide listeners through the latest happenings in the sports world, with a particular focus on the ongoing NFL preseason and standout performances in Major League Baseball.

---

NFL Preseason Spotlight: Cam Little's Historic 70-Yard Field Goal

The primary discussion centers around Cam Little's remarkable 70-yard field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers, a feat that has ignited debate among fans and analysts alike.

• Covino opens the discussion by highlighting the significance of Little's achievement:

  "Cam Little's 70-yard field goal should be a record no matter what." (06:15)

• Rich counters, emphasizing the context of preseason games:

  "Absolutely not. It's a preseason record, but it doesn't count." (11:44)

The hosts delve into whether such a field goal should be recognized officially, considering factors like game pressure and the nature of preseason play. Covino argues that preseason stats often don't hold the same weight as regular-season records due to the experimental nature of these games.

"It's less of an accomplishment in the game and more of a feat, almost like a trick." (13:54) – Covino

Meanwhile, Rich maintains that regardless of the game's status, the sheer distance of the kick warrants recognition. The debate underscores the broader conversation about the purpose of preseason games and how records from these matches should be treated.

---

Beyond the Preseason: Analyzing Player Performances

The conversation shifts to other noteworthy performances during the preseason, including mentions of Shador Sanders and Geno Smith, showcasing their attempts to secure positions and make impactful statements despite the non-competitive environment of preseason play.

• Covino remarks on the media's focus:

  "It's insane. I mean, he was scrambling. He did great." (07:07) – Referring to Shador Sanders

• Rich adds insights on player evaluations:

  "Teams are trying new things or practicing schemes. Does the box score mean anything?" (09:37)

The hosts emphasize that while individual performances can shine, the lack of regular competition often means these stats don't translate directly to regular-season success.

---

MLB Focus: Juan Soto's Solo Home Runs

Transitioning to Major League Baseball, Covino and Rich analyze Juan Soto's performance, particularly his solo home runs, drawing parallels to the earlier discussion on Cam Little.

• Covino highlights Soto's current stats:

  "Juan Soto has 28 home runs, 22 of which are solo." (41:13)
  "The joke that I keep seeing is, it's Juan Solo. Juan Solo did it again." (42:23)

• Rich questions the impact of solo home runs on team dynamics:

  "22 of his 28 are solo bombs. So we ask you this... which ones are okay and which ones make you a weirdo?" (43:59) – Rich

The conversation critiques the effectiveness of solo home runs in contributing to the team's overall success, suggesting that while impressive, they may not always translate to critical game moments. The hosts encourage listeners to reflect on the value of such performances within the broader context of team strategy and game outcomes.

---

Interactive Segment: Best and Worst Solo Missions

Injecting humor into the conversation, Covino and Rich introduce a light-hearted segment inspired by the concept of "Juan Solo," inviting listeners to share their personal experiences of solo missions.

• Covino prompts the discussion:

  "What are your favorite and least favorite solo missions? Like, I've never gone to a theater by myself." (43:59) – Noah

Listeners are encouraged to engage by calling in with their stories, ranging from funny to awkward solo endeavors. This segment serves to create a relatable and entertaining break from the intense sports analysis, fostering a sense of community among the show's audience.

---

Closing Remarks and Upcoming Features

As the episode winds down, Covino and Rich remind listeners of their new YouTube channel, encouraging subscriptions and live interactions. They also tease upcoming topics, including deeper dives into MLB strategies, NFL season predictions, and more engaging listener-driven segments.

• Covino announces the YouTube launch:

  "Subscribe free on YouTube.com/covinoenrichFSR." (05:20)

• Rich highlights future content:

  "We're going to talk some baseball, we're going to talk some Brady, we're going to talk some Juan Solo." (23:59)

The hosts wrap up by reinforcing their commitment to providing insightful and entertaining sports commentary, ensuring that listeners stay tuned for future episodes packed with analysis, debates, and interactive fun.

[Noah]

But I like them better when he was Juan. So. So. I see. I see.

[Devin]

So we'll get to all that. But I will say it is wild to see football highlights on Most of the TVs in the room right now. It's crazy to see how we just switch as a people.

[Noah]

What's the countdown, by the way? For the record, Rich and I just got back from our vacation. We got back late. Yes, I got back late yesterday.

[Noah]

Adults later because guess what? It's not Space Mountain no more.

[Devin]

Yeah, things have changed.

[Noah]

It hasn't been in years, but it really isn't. It's like the worst ride. And I'll tell you what, the brand new best ride by far is in Disneyland. But we're going to have a magical day today. So let's get into it.

[Devin]

70 yard field goal by Cam Little. I got to talk about this because as we watch highlights of the preseason.

[Noah]

By the way, and everything's Shador Sanders too, man. Like, even while I'm at Disney, while I'm on the rides and I'm doing my thing, while I'm on Space Mountain, I'm seeing highlights of Shador Sanders. It's going to be the Shador Sanders show in the teacups.

[Devin]

He's like, Shador Sanders.

[Noah]

No, seriously, it's like, you know how Sports center and people love to talk about LeBron and LeBron. Like, he's that guy. He's him when it comes to press and media and for whatever reason. And I just hope he thrives under that sort of spotlight. He's always been in it. But this is the NFL and There's a whole competition going on with the quarterbacks.

[Devin]

Yeah.

[Noah]

It's insane. I mean, he was scrambling. He did great. It looked good.

[Devin]

So you're saying every year the sports media world, which I guess we're part of.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Devin]

Pick a few people and they beat the dead horse. And you're saying that.

[Noah]

Yeah, it's.

[Devin]

That horse is. Sure, Sanders.

[Noah]

It'll still be Aaron Rodgers, but not as much because, I mean, you know what? I think it still will be. But it's your door, Sanders.

[Devin]

Anyone else?

[Noah]

People are dying to see what's going on there.

[Devin]

Any. Any other horses we're going to. We're going to beat to death. Aaron Rodger. Shador Sanders. Have you. Have you got a little hint of any other player? Maybe the drama in Dallas, like Dallas, drama will always be a storyline. Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

And you saw that fan with the jamarcus Russell sign for Geno Smith.

[Devin]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

So Geno Smith has been in the news this past weekend with flipping the double birds.

[Devin]

Think they'll be your typical ones, but I think we'll be surprised by a couple of fun storylines. So I want to get this out there. It's fun to watch football. I just got back from Vegas. Just watching the preseason games at the sports book was really fun. I was actually tempted to place a couple bets. I'm like, no, don't be an idiot. It's the preseason games. Get into the tie, no one cares. What am I doing? So I resisted and I lost my money other ways.

[Noah]

But that is true. These games don't matter. This all factors into our Cam Little discussion. They don't matter. But people are trying to make a statement. Example, Shador Sanders. Not going out there to dilly dally and go through the motions. He's trying to make a statement. And same with place kickers. Same with lineman. Same with all the teams. So, yeah, wins and losses don't matter. But we can't say that they're not playing their heart out because a lot of these guys are trying to win a job.

[Iowa Sam]

Yeah. Another guy who made a statement over the weekend, your boy in New York for the Giants, Jackson Dart.

[Devin]

Dart. You listen again. He's one of those names that I think the minute rush shows signs of, like, oh, no, like things aren't going great. Crowd's gonna go nuts for Jackson Dart. So I'm glad you said that. People are fighting for jobs, but some teams will play their stars, others will not. I did what every other sports fan did, which was what games didn't I watch. Let me look at the box score and then half the box scores like, oh, wow, Joe Burrow played. And then you'll look at another game and be like, oh, that guy didn't play, or this guy played, or that guy didn't play. So we're still on the stage where nothing really matters.

[Noah]

But again, that matters too, because Joe Burrows missed a lot of preseason, so now he's ahead of the game. And maybe we see the results of that.

[Devin]

And then you start looking like, if they're trying new things or practicing schemes, does the box score mean anything? Like your boy Aiden o', Connell, two interceptions in that Raiders tie to the Seahawks. But again, in the preseason, are you looking at, you know, it's like, it's like a pitcher in baseball, you know, sometimes where if a pitcher's in the minor leagues, your team will call him up and you're like, they're calling this guy up. His ERA is like five. But they're not worried about their. They're worried about his stuff. And they're like, oh, they got the stuff. We could work with his stuff.

[Noah]

And these guys are trying to work out their stuff. Yeah. So, yeah, those picks, they don't really matter too much.

[Devin]

So while that is a long winded explanation, it's all a setup to me saying that I think Cam Little 70 yard field goal should be a record no matter what. And I'll explain, because there's a difference between gameplay and a specialized play, like a field goal. I know you might say, no, it's all gameplay. There's a line that's rushing, there's an offensive line that's blocking. But to me, if you were to tell me, man, you know, Justin Jefferson, you know, caught for 400 yards in a preseason game, it doesn't mean anything. I get it now, a record. But when a field goal kicker kicks a ball through the uprights further than anyone else ever has, I don't think it matters if it's preseason or regular season.

[Noah]

Heavy Foot McGirt from some college team, he's just some fat guy who happens to do it. Does that count too? Because he did it in a competition, you know, I know it's not a game, but it has to be a game. Baltimore's Justin Tucker, if I'm not mistaken, still has the record, right? 66 yarder in Detroit in 2021. Cam Little 70 yard field goal against the Steelers this past weekend. And people are saying it should count. Rich says should count. I say, absolutely not. I'm sorry, yeah, we agree to disagree here. The Jags by the way, lost to the Steelers, 3,125.

[Devin]

Again, the score doesn't count, but it doesn't matter. Defeat. Pun intended.

[Noah]

I understand what you're saying. It felt like it was a particular play or it's not wins, losses that are mattering. It's just one little moment. It's sort of a skill thing. It's sort of a record being set. Seventy yards, therefore, should count, but it's not an official game. Like, I. I'm really fickle on that part of this stat, so it really does count. It's not the same pressure type of situation. It doesn't matter as much. I think all those things factor, the bright lights are on. I think that plays a factor in the actual moment before the actual moment matters more.

[Devin]

I'll annoy you with another analogy, Danny G. Let's say your boy Genti, who, by the way, did he pass the line of scrimmage at all yet, or.

[Iowa Sam]

No, he only had a couple of carries. Yeah. The defense was in the backfield when he touched the ball a couple of times.

[Devin]

So now let's just say the opposite happened. If Genti touched the ball three times and ran for 80 yards each carry, you could argue, well, who's in the secondary to stop him? Who's at the line to try to stop him? It's Guy. You could argue. It's. It's guys who had never touched the NFL field.

[Iowa Sam]

Well, for the first series, though, you saw starters for both teams, and then the second series, they were out. All right, so when he was in, in all fairness, there were starters on the field.

[Devin]

But I'm just saying, like, in general, though, if someone accomplished something later in the game, in a preseason game, you'd be like, against who, though? I think a field goal isn't necessarily.

[Iowa Sam]

So you're saying because of the skill set.

[Devin]

Yeah, it's almost like.

[Iowa Sam]

But it's still a stat, and stats don't count in preseason.

[Devin]

I know, but there's a sense of, he kicked the ball. The backdrop matters less than the feet.

[Noah]

You know, there's a lot of people on social media that are on Rich's side, and I just don't see it.

[Devin]

I agree, because usually I think everything. Preseason, spring training, all this stuff is bunk. I agree. I've been to spring training. Doesn't matter if your favorite player is batting.400 in spring training, that guy might bet 190 in the regular season. All I'm saying is that it's. It's less of a. An accomplishment in the Game and more of a, like a feat, almost like a, a trick of sorts. Like he kicked a 70 year old field goal in a game.

[Noah]

So Cam Little, Hope you had a Cam Little sort of weekend. Can he do it in an actual game?

[Devin]

I think it makes him badass. I think if anything now you know this guy's name. And to think that Jacksonville, who's really got nothing much to be that excited about if you ask me. Jacksonville knows if they got the ball midfield, there's a chance.

[Noah]

Yeah, there's a lot of chance place kickers out there that during practice or whatever are saying, yeah, I could do that too. I think it's the game situation that makes it matter. And I think being a place kicker, part of their job is not only having to kick well, it's having to deal with that sort of pressure. And there's a hell of a lot less pressure in a preseason game. So I say absolutely no way should this count. It's a pre. You could say it's a preseason record or you know, it's a, it's the furthest we've seen in a game, but not an actual game. Any thoughts, Iowa? Sam, I feel like you're a stickler too for stats and a stickler for no. How the hell would that even count? It don't matter. It doesn't matter, right? Because we're trying to legitimize to how the preseason does matter and it's great to have football back and people are playing tough and playing hard and we are seeing Shador scrambling. We're saying, ooh, man, he's translating well in the NFL. But just because he's doing it now, does that mean he's going to be able to do it in an actual game when the starting linemen are there? So cam little 70 yard field goal. Yes, it's impressive.

[Manny]

Yes.

[Noah]

It proves that he could do it. But should it count? Does it matter? Your thoughts at 8-7-799 on Fox. I'm saying no. Rich is saying yes. I'm not sure why he's saying yes, but no, I actually get it. But I don't get it.

[Devin]

I know we're filling in for Dan Patrick, but I feel like I'm bringing the Colin Esque analogies today. Okay, Stars. No, I. To compare a 70 yard field goal to something else. I think I found out what I'm trying to say. I think I found my way to the point.

[Noah]

Everybody gets what you're trying to say. It's. It's a very specific skill set where they're just setting up and he's kicking. Can he make it? You're, you're factoring like he just made a field goal and that's the distance. But there's a lot of other factors.

[Devin]

I know, but my question would be.

[Noah]

Who was actually on that line trying to block it? I want to know that.

[Devin]

Give me a baseball player that's throwing some heat.

[Noah]

Gas. Yeah, let's go. Chappie. Old school. He's still throwing 107 miles per hour.

[Devin]

In his prime, Araldis Chapman. I remember him being the guy where.

[Noah]

I wait, say in his prime, he's still throwing gas.

[Devin]

This guy I know about.

[Noah]

I don't know how.

[I]

Gas.

[Devin]

Gas.

[Noah]

How'd you know I was the gas man?

[Devin]

How the hell do they know that I got gas?

[Noah]

Sam is quick on the button, man.

[Devin]

Yo, my thought would be if Chappie back in the day or, I don't know, some Chappie, if some young stud in major league baseball. Oh, Chappie threw 105 mile an hour fastball, but it was in the preseason. In my mind, it's still like, yo, baseball record, 105 mile an hour. He hit 105.

[Noah]

Or that's actually a really good analogy.

[Devin]

Because it's, it's, it's a feat of sorts.

[Noah]

Okay. But it sticks in your brain and you remember it, but it doesn't count.

[Devin]

I get it's as simple as that. Because there's no other factor. Because I could, you could say, well, what about if John Carlo or, or Mike Trout or Cal Raleigh hits a 600 foot home run? Well, depends who's pitching. And you could say, well, it's a scrub. I, I think nothing. I'll give you, I'll give it to you that there's just no other factors. Except you could say the defense wasn't rushing as good because it's a backup line.

[Noah]

That's a major factor. That's a major factor. You got pro Bowlers breathing down your neck trying to get at you. That's a pressure situation that you're not necessarily factoring in here.

[Iowa Sam]

And it's an exhibition situation.

[Noah]

Exhibition situation. And I get it, Rich. That's a perfect analogy. Like it happened and we saw it. But it's like they see on social media. What do they say on social media? You know, unless we have picks, it didn't happen. Unless it's a real game, it doesn't count.

[Devin]

Fool me once, shame on. Can't get fooled.

[Noah]

Fool me once, shame on. Shame on you. But I tip Me can't get fooled again Tip my Yankee hat to Cam little for sure. 70 yard field goal against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend. Should it count? Yes. Way or no? Way again. At Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. I'm saying a big Rocky Balboa. Absolutely.

[Devin]

No, I just.

[Noah]

But no props.

[Devin]

I'm a realist. I know that most won't acknowledge it, but there's got to be a part of you that's like, yeah, but he still did it.

[Noah]

Yeah, but who's on this campaign? Like, who's really pushing that? Jaguars fans, because I have seen it on social media. Like, that should count. Like, since when we're just going to bend all the record books because some. Some guy did it in the preseason game. That's so stupid. Honestly, I can't even get behind that.

[Iowa Sam]

There was a meme from our friends at DraftKings yesterday, which is what I sent to you guys, debating it, but.

[Noah]

I saw buzz that. On TikTok, I saw Buzz on that. It's like, I feel like he has his own people out there really trying to push this narrative. It's like, all right, dude, you did it, but not when it counted.

[Devin]

I think you see a lot of young kickers in high school or college, or maybe that's just my algorithm. But you do see these young players try to showcase themselves. The kicker position is so unique in that it's not surprising if you know that that's the same way. There's the lore of a pitcher. Oh, they throw over a hundred. I think these young kickers to try to get a shot in the NFL, where you're making damn good money to be a kicker, I think it's going.

[Noah]

To be 70 or more moving forward.

[Devin]

I think there's. There's that scent of that sentiment of, have you seen these little sizzle reels of kickers out of college? And like, it's them on the practice field, just, they keep going further back and further back. This guy did it in a preseason game. I know it's preseason, but I think it's a pretty cool thing.

[Noah]

And it's very cool, but it should not count the end on that. For real.

[Devin]

What a layer. I mean, this kid, a young kid.

[Noah]

But I'm with you on that too, Rich. I agree that we will see more and more of that because these kids are just training next level all the time for that power, for that accuracy and for that bragging. Right.

[Devin]

What's his career long? Did he play the full season? Career long. For Cam Little, 59 yard field goal last year as a rookie. 59, 50. So it's already. Look, it's already on his. It's already on Google. Suggestions. Google AI.

[Noah]

Hey, throw it on his Wikipedia. It doesn't matter much.

[Devin]

Cam Little's career long field goal.

[Noah]

And I want you to notice anybody could edit a Wikipedia. I can go there right now and say he had a 170 yard field goal in a preseason game. Doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

[Iowa Sam]

Can you please change mine to say I'm the best producer in the whole world?

[Noah]

Yeah, I will, Danny G. But you know what I can't do? I. I can't go to baseball reference or pro football reference. I can't do that and change those stats. Can't do it because. Can't do it. You have to do it in a regular season game. Hey, man, those are the rules. We don't just change them because a bunch of people are crying about it on social media. You've been excited about it all day. I think it's great.

[Devin]

I think it's a fun.

[Noah]

But you know what, Rich? I think this is extra motivation for this guy to do it when it matters. To be like, yo, there it is. In your face. In the face.

[Devin]

In the face. He played, by the way, at Arkansas last year. Perfect from extra point range and he was 27 for 29 on field goal. So, hey, a young kicker that, you know, if you play fantasy, you know, football, you, you probably know a little about him, but I think kickers little about him. Get it? Listen, kickers, unless you make or miss a big one or you're getting happy ending massages, no one's really going to know your name if you're a kicker. Right? I mean, it's like how many if you are.

[Noah]

I know a lot of people that got happy ending massages. We don't know their name.

[Devin]

That is true. But I'm just saying, to be a kicker in the NFL, if I said, hey guys, this 32 teams, how many kickers could you name? I betcha every other position you, you could do better than kicker. You can name more tight ends, more receivers, more. More linemen, more quarterbacks, for sure. More secondary members, right? I think that kicker you can name a handful. And they're either really good, missed an important one, or did something scandalous.

[Noah]

Well, no one's ever done this before, let's say a practice. I find that very hard to believe. Right. So it can be done. This is preseason and honestly, here's how I wrap it up. Oh, man, that was awesome. I'm not trying to take away from.

[Devin]

Doing the regular season.

[Noah]

I want to see him do it in regular season.

[Devin]

Yeah, buddy.

[Noah]

Beat Tucker's record, be the man and props to him. But let's. I think we should end the discussion and say. To say it should count is ridiculous. I think you made a great argument, Rich. I like the analogy with the baseball fast pitch, but do it in a real game, if you could do it, just do it. Do it when it counts.

[Devin]

I wonder if anyone has real takeaways. I was talking to my brother yesterday. He's in town and he's like, you and Covino and Tanny. You guys do like your some predictions. Any impressions yet? I'm like, impressions of what though? Like, it's hard. It's so hard.

[Noah]

I already did one. Rocky, Babo, yo. Absolutely.

[Devin]

You have any impressions?

[Noah]

You're like, who do I look like? Like a bomb. Like a bomb to you? Absolutely. No.

[Devin]

Pretty sure you have a pretty good Beavis of Butthead, right?

[Noah]

Yeah. Too early for them though.

[Devin]

Oh, too. Okay.

[Noah]

But what is your brother talking about?

[Devin]

No, just saying how at this stage, you know, a lot of shows, tv, radio, podcast, start doing, you know, their impressions and predictions and I'm like, what though? Like the. The chatter you hear on your own fan pages. Like, Danny, you're a big Raiders fan. Your only real thought so far, what you're really reading coming from camp, right? That's sort of.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

Now, one practice game to take a look at.

[Devin]

One practice game.

[Iowa Sam]

Jamal Adams was awesome on defense and Cam Miller, our third string quarterback, lit it up.

[Devin]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Did you tell your brother our official rules, like, we're not fortune tellers. We're not chatgpt. We're not Madame Ruby. It's a matter of we even upped it in the past few years. We would say you don't really know anything until the first six weeks.

[Devin]

Yeah, week six was when we really, really feel like we got a feel.

[Noah]

And I get it, you like to throw your predictions out there. We do it here on Fox Sports Radio. It's fun, but it means diddly squad.

[Iowa Sam]

It took longer than six weeks last season.

[Noah]

It did, right? Didn't we up it to like seven or eight?

[Iowa Sam]

You upped it to eight last.

[Noah]

Yeah. You really don't know jack squat. Wasn't he in your homeroom, by the way? Jack squat.

[Devin]

Squat present.

[Noah]

You don't know jack squat until about the eighth week. So predictions, impressions, whatever. All right. So your thoughts on Cam Little. Share them. We give him props, but no Official stat. And we also give away prizes later here on the show. We're going to play a game called Last One Standing. So remember the number and be dialing when we tell you to join in. 87799 on Fox. Speaking of football, we don't have them in stock yet. The inventory is a little low. But we're giving away IOUs which are just as good as footballs.

[Devin]

That's what I've heard.

[Noah]

Yeah, we're going to be giving away. That's as good as money, sir.

[Devin]

It is.

[Noah]

Those are IOUs. Bribery balls for the winners. We got some Nerf footballs to give away to get you pumped for the season when we play Last one Standing, the game that's sweeping the nation later on in the show today.

[Devin]

I'm excited to play that. Now, Danny, I didn't look on purpose because we do it every year. Did the USA Today, which by the way, do people still get under their doorstep in hotel rooms? Is that how that paper still exists? Exists? What's this on my doorstep? A newspaper. Did they do their, their predictions?

[Iowa Sam]

They sure did.

[Devin]

Ah, the USA Today. Old timey times. Got a nickel in my pocket. USA Today every year puts out a list of who they think is going to win the super bowl and their list of predictions. And I only bring up USA Today because I know everyone does predictions.

[Noah]

New newspapers are making a comeback, though, Rich. The New York Post is making a California Post.

[Devin]

That's well, with all the change I have in my pocket.

[Noah]

But no, an actual newspaper. We're going to see Iowa Sam coming in every day reading it.

[Devin]

Good morning, everybody.

[Noah]

Hey, did you see Dagwood today?

[Devin]

Oh, the family circle.

[Noah]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

We've highlighted the USA Today sports department for like four years in a row now because they have some outlandish predictions.

[Devin]

Last year. Last year their big prediction was that Aaron Rodgers and the jets would win the Super Bowl. So I want to see what their outlandish thing is this year. So we'll go over USA Today's predictions. And by the way, you're right. Newspapers. Who I remember, Danny G. You might not know this.

[Noah]

I saw a few people again, I just came from the airport. I saw more people reading the newspaper than I have in a minute. So maybe it is coming back. People like the tangible feel of the nostalgia right there.

[Devin]

And where'd you go to seeing it? Where were you, the senior citizen lounge? I don't know.

[Noah]

I've seen a bunch of people with newspapers lately.

[Devin]

Well, what I do think is interesting, though is when you think of the newspaper on the east coast, something that you guys never experience out here. Danny, on the west side, late games, you as a kid would read the box score in like the New York Times or Daily News or New York.

[Noah]

As a kid would use my Silly Putty on Ziggy's comic. That's about it.

[Devin]

But you would be like, oh, the, I don't know, the Mets played the Padres last night. It would say late game. And you'd be like, late game. And, you know, you couldn't Google things back then, so I think kids today don't realize, like, there were days that you were searching around, like, did my team win last night because the paper was printed.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Iowa Sam]

Out here where I grew up, we were the late game you were, though.

[Devin]

Exactly. So, hey, we got more Conveno and Rich in for dp Having a fun, light Monday. Your thoughts on NFL preseason so far. Again, we're going to give away some prizes and do a bunch more right here on Fox Sports Radio.

[Noah]

Be sure to catch the live edition of the Dan Patrick show, weekdays at 9am Eastern, 6am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. Paulie Fusco here with Tony Fusco. Yo. As everybody knows, we're the host of the award winning Paulie and Tony Fusco Show. Yeah.

[Devin]

But instead of us telling you how.

[Noah]

Great we are, here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on our show.

[Devin]

Quick, knowledgeable and funny about opinionated. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing? You're interrupting our promo. Yeah, he wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally out of context.

[Noah]

Oh, yeah? Well, after this promo, I'm gonna take.

[Devin]

You out and beat you. Let me put this into context. Shut up. Yeah.

[Noah]

Anyway, just listen to the Paulie and.

Imagine that you're on an airplane and all of a sudden you hear this.

[Dana Schwartz]

Attention passengers. The pilot is having an emergency and we need someone, anyone, to land this plane.

[Manny]

Think you could do it? It turns out that nearly 50% of men think that they could land the plane with the help of air traffic control.

[Noah]

And they're saying like, okay, pull this.

[Manny]

Until this, pull that, turn this. It's just I can do my eyes closed. I'm Manny.

[Noah]

I'm Noah.

[Devin]

This is Devin.

[Manny]

And on our new show, no Such Thing, we get to the bottom of questions like these. Join us as we talk to the leading expert on overconfidence.

[Devin]

Those who lack expertise lack the expertise.

[Noah]

They need to recognize that they lack expertise.

[Manny]

And then as we try the whole thing out for real.

[Devin]

Wait, what?

[Manny]

Oh, that's the run, right? I'm looking at this thing.

[Devin]

See?

[Manny]

Listen to no Such thing on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you you get your podcasts.

[Dana Schwartz]

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Ern Malley. In an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial, the Ern Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz. Every episode, Hoax explores an audacious fraud or ruse from history, from forged artworks to the original fake news. To try and answer why, why we believe, listen to Hoax on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Noah]

I'm Noah. I'm 13, and as you might have seen from the news, I got a podcast and I explain those fake headlines like your uncle would, like your cousin would, if he actually did the research. Honestly, adults don't ask the right questions. Now, you know with Noah de Barrasso is a show about influence. Who's got it, how they use it, and what it means for the rest of you, it's not the news. It's what the news should be if someone Gen Z or Gen Alpha made it. And I'm watching everything.

[I]

Sheesh.

[Noah]

Majority of the youth 18 through 24 say they trust Republicans more than Democrats from the economy.

[Devin]

You kidding me?

[Noah]

Politics is wild and I'm definitely not here to tame it. But I'm here to make sense of it. Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Bring your brain. Listen to now, you know with Noah de Barrasta on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

[Devin]

Let's say hi to Josh in Vegas. What's up, Josh? I was just there. It was hot as hell. What's up, man?

[I]

It's North Vegas, man.

[Devin]

What's up?

[I]

Get it right. All right. Hey, so we're talking about the papers, right?

[Devin]

The papers, the newspapers. Gotta get the papers.

[Noah]

Get the papers.

[I]

So. So my father, God bless him, he turned 86 today. I grew. I grew up with the paper. And, you know, the Sunday. The Sunday one was always the one that had the ads and stuff.

[Devin]

Can I tell you, it's so funny. It's so funny you would say your pops and the paper. Because when I lived in New York, I. We've been doing the show long enough, Kavino, where there were times. Oh, he had a point. I thought he was saying the paper in his pop. Okay, let's hear.

[I]

Sunday newspaper. It has the ads and stuff, you know, so like every Sunday morning, I will grab the funnies, the sports page, and then you would get One of those JCPenney's or Walmart things in there. And then they had the pictures of the bras.

[Devin]

He wanted it for the pictures of the JCPenney's bras.

[Noah]

He's not alone. He thinks he invented that.

[Devin]

Listen, we all did that. I mean, they didn't have the hub back then. I mean, back then, when you were a kid, you could get your hands on whatever. You could get. JCPenney bra ads.

[Noah]

I mean, yeah, we did that. I would take the parade out of the paper, give that to my mom, and they take all the underwear ads and take that to the bathroom.

[Devin]

You are to go shopping for undies.

[Noah]

Of course, for tighty whities.

[Devin]

Interestingly enough, the newspaper, he said, his dad. This Sunday newspaper. I get it. My dad, up until about a year ago, I'm not even joking, would seek out the newspaper right before the football season because he used to love that insert. You know how every newspaper, whether it be local or national, would have the like the NFL preview insert. It would be like almost like a little magazine inside the newspaper. And that's how he would like mentally prepare for the NFL season. Like he's like, oh. Because it'd be like a write up of one page write up on every team.

[Noah]

Oh, the Cardinals.

[Devin]

Let me write down their projections.

[Iowa Sam]

Like how we used to get the fantasy football magazines before the season began.

[Devin]

Yeah, dude. But if anyone knows what I'm talking about. I don't know. I know it wasn't just the east coast, but they would do a pretty intense like football preview insert into the newspaper and that's how you would know like all right, new players, players that are not on the team anymore. Their projected schedule. That was old school before the Internet. But we're there, we're getting there. 25 days away from the NFL season.

[Noah]

Football and we'll go over what the USA Today, USA what a. What USA Today predicted for the season later on. So hope you enjoyed your football over the weekend. I'm back from Disney. I'm going to tell you about my favorite rides. But am I a Disney adult? Hell no. Because we'll talk about that too. Because I guess Rich, especially in Danny G have bones to pick with that. Rich is back from Vegas. Happy to be in for Dan Patrick. And I want to talk about Rich's boy, Juan Soto. Yeah, you know, guy I rooted for last year and won't ever root for again.

[Devin]

You know, I'll tell you what, there's a couple of things going on with Juan Soto. The Mets are stinking and let me.

[Noah]

Tell you, not just the Mets. It's a bad time for New York Baseball. The Yankees are just as bad.

[Devin]

Well that there's teams that are coming together and then there's teams that are falling apart.

[Noah]

They stink the high heavy.

[Devin]

It just so happens that the Mets and Yankees, Cavino and I, those are our two teams haters or love us for that. But both teams equally got a case of the stank because just we have our Met Yankees bet that we've been doing all year and neither team could take advantage of the other one sucking because they both suck.

[Noah]

They are horrible.

[Devin]

And then you got teams like Milwaukee who are gelling. They are putting it together. You got teams that are creating distance now Philadelphia is playing well. They got the division wrapped up unless they have a bad streak in the Mets. Catch him. But as of right now, dude, they're.

[Noah]

Gelling like Pauly D in the early 2000s.

[Devin]

That's a lot of gel.

[Noah]

Yeah, gelling like Magellan yo, the brewers.

[Iowa Sam]

Got pancakes in their pockets, dude, and.

[Devin]

They haven't lost since the coach had a pancake in his pocket.

[Noah]

Right.

[Devin]

Is that true? It's a true story.

[Noah]

They're playing that good for real.

[Devin]

So there's teams that are putting it together right now. There's teams that you're wondering, how are they ever good? Like, right now, there are teams that are over.500, and you're like, how are they still over.500? Because they were so good early on. And you got to say, well, that's why it's 162 games. You will let you get hot so you could allow yourself maybe, to go through these terrible times of the season. Because as of right now, the Mets are only, I believe, two games up on the Reds for that third wild card spot. And that is atrocious. Like Scotty Brocius.

[Noah]

Like the hairline of Scotty Brocius. Scotty Brocius was a great player. So Rich's Mets stink. They really do. But they're not losing in that miserable, heartbreaking fashion that the Yankees are with their mental errors.

[Devin]

Are you sure? Up five nothing yesterday, and you're thinking, oh, they finally got it. And then they lose seven.

[Noah]

Six are making, like, Little League bonehead mistakes. It's horrible. Both teams stink. Now, Yankees obviously had Juan Soto last year, and I've been rooting against them this whole season, but he turned it around, and he's hitting bombs, I believe. Again, I was in Disney, so forgive me if I'm wrong. I'm pretty certain he has three home runs in the last three games. Up until yesterday or whatever, he's been on a nice streak.

[Devin]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I mean, and he's got 28 home runs as we speak, 67 RBI, and he's batting.251. Now, remember how slow he started? So to have 28 home runs now, he turned it around. He's having a typical Juan Soto sort of season.

[Devin]

I mean, he struggled as of. As of the last month, but over the last few days, he just continues to hit home runs. But they're.

[Noah]

He broke up that no hitter with a home run.

[Devin]

They're a particular type of home run.

[Noah]

And I heard this stat, and I said, no way. What? No way. F6. 22 of his 28 home runs. I'm gonna have to hit up my boy Elias from the sports bureau to confirm, but I'm pretty certain that 22 of his 28 home runs were all solo home runs. So again, 67 RBI. He'd have a lot more if people were on Base, you know, we're talking about doing it when it matters a la Cam little. With the 70 yard field goal, Soto's got to be hitting bombs when it matters, not when there's nobody on base. No ducks in the pond for this guy.

[Devin]

He's rolling over. He's rolling over.

[Noah]

Quack, quack, quack.

[Devin]

He's rolling over a ground ball when there's runners on first and third.

[Noah]

Yeah, like, he's hitting bombs, but you gotta hit them when they matter, when they count. 28 home runs, 22 are solo shots. So the joke that I keep seeing is, it's Juan Solo. Juan Solo did it again. Not Juan Soto. Juan Solo.

[Devin]

And, you know, you notice these things when you watch a team day in and day out where you're like, oh, well, that guy hit another home run. And you're like, yeah, yeah. But in a meaningless moment.

[Noah]

One solo.

[Devin]

And you know, there's a lot of talk of Juan Solo. I want to harp on this solo home run thing, but Juan. Juan Soto, there's a big sentiment, and I'm torn on this. When you see him smiling and talking to the umpire and the catcher, and everyone's like, oh, look at him. Is he having fun or is it. Dude, why are you smiling? Having so much fun when your team's lost, like, 10 of their last 11 games, like, he looks like the Mets are losing late in yesterday's game and the pitcher on the other team had to tie a shoe. And Juan Soto and the catcher are, like, laughing about it.

[Noah]

I'm like, I mean, I don't like indifference either. I want a lick of determination. I don't want him, like, slapping ass and having fun and laughing. Like you said, those type of antics when they stink so bad. But he has 28 home runs. Got to give him credit for that. 22 of the 28 are solo bombs. So we ask you this. Fox Sports Radio Dan Patrick Nation. The best and worst solo mission experiences. Meaning, like, I've never gone to a theater. I've never gone to see a movie by myself.

[Devin]

That's insane.

[Noah]

It's. Now, some people like, yo, it's the best.

[Devin]

And I'm like, yeah, it's a little weird.

[Noah]

So what are the best and worst solo missions? Okay, can I give you one more example? I used to actually like going out. Well, not out, but I would sort of go out with friends when I was a single man and then sort of dip off to be on the prowl as a single guy solo mission. Like, I don't need Rich C. Blocking me with all his yapping and his antics, I'd be like, yo, Rich, I'm gonna go make my rounds. Peace out. So therefore, I'm on a solo mission because I don't want to be interrupted.

[Devin]

What you're saying in honor of Juan solo.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Devin]

We're going to talk solo missions. Your feedback. Let's chop it up. Let's. Let's have some fun on a Monday. What? Solo missions are lame, which are awesome, which are underrated. We're talking solo missions. As a guy, I'll give you one to just keep you on track.

[Noah]

Or a woman sexist person. A lot of women. Hey ladies. Hey umpire Steve Cavino here. I'm a big fan.

[Devin]

I'll give you one. Think about this. Strip club. Solo mission or group mission? Think about it. So think of all the things you could do going out to eat. Solo missions or not. We'll take your feedback next. Right here. Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio.

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? Well, that's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they pulled off what was either a bold literary hoax or a grand poetic experiment, publishing over a dozen intentionally bad but highly acclaimed works of expressionist poetry under the name Ern Malley. In an incident that caused a media firestorm and even a criminal trial, the Ern Malley episode made fools of believers and critics alike and still fascinates poetry lovers to this day.

Majority of the youth 18 through 24 say they trust Republicans more than Democrats to fund the economy.

[Devin]

You kidding me?

[Noah]

Politics is wild and I'm definitely not here to tame it. But I'm here to make cess of it. Just what's happening, why it matters, and what it means for us. Bring your brain. Listen to now, you know with Noah de Barrasta on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Sam's playing all by myself. You ever hear the Christmas version? Obama's elf?

[Devin]

It's so funny. Why was that in my head too?

[Noah]

Obama's elf?

[Devin]

I've not heard that.

[Noah]

You never heard Obama's Elf?

[Devin]

No. During the holidays maybe like 10 years ago.

[Noah]

Where were you, Sam, when Obama was the president?

[Devin]

You know?

[Noah]

What's up, Rich?

[Devin]

What's up, man? You know, I want to. I want to dive right back into the solo experiences a la Juan Solo.

[Noah]

Juan Soto has 28 home runs. 22 of his 28 are solo bombs. He has 67 RBI. So it's not like he's having a bad season.

[Devin]

I mean, I think he's having a bad season, considering.

[Noah]

I mean, I'm not hating.

[Devin]

He just got paid, you know, more than anyone else, and he's on my Mets.

[Noah]

I think he turned it around, but he's got to do it when it counts.

[Devin]

But I'm saying a guy like Juan Soto should be automatic for 35, 100 every year, and he'll probably. I wouldn't be shocked. He'll get the 35 home runs. But will Juan Soto get 100 ribies? No, he won't. And I think that's a big disappointment. But you could say a lot of those are because with runners in scoring position, he stinks. When he's up in the seventh inning and the Mets are down 61 and he hits a solo home run, whoop it in, do. And that seems to be the story of Juan Solo. So Kavino thought of a funny twist, which is, what are your favorite and least favorite solo missions? And Sam, I feel like I want you to think about this because you're a single guy living out here in la. You probably do a lot of stuff here and there on your own.

[Noah]

He's a wanderer, he's a loner, a rebel. You don't want to get mixed up with a guy like Sam. Things about him you wouldn't understand, things you couldn't understand, things you shouldn't understand. Good one.

[Devin]

Let's go to Tripp in Vegas. Trip, when it comes to solo missions, which one do you think is weak and which one do you like doing solo?

[I]

First thing, a comment. Then I got a great solo thing. Rich, you should have reached out while you're out here. I could have done anything for you and your family. Next time it happens for you. Cavino, anybody from the crew.

[Devin]

I appreciate that, man. I appreciate that, brother.

[Noah]

He would have reached out, but he likes going to the Spearmint Rhino by himself.

[Devin]

Solo mission trip. Sorry.

[I]

That'S. Nothing wrong with that, but the best is this. I like to. Sometimes I seem like I win more money when I'm by myself, gambling. Leave me alone.

[Devin]

You know, that's a good one. I honestly. There are times where we'll be in Vegas, coincidentally, for the show, covering a fight, a big event, and I actually enjoy doing the solo gamble. You don't feel stupid when you lose a lot and then when you. I don't know, it's like a weird little moment when you're winning by yourself.

[Noah]

Like, yeah, what's your Juan Solo moment? Which ones are okay? Which ones just make you a weirdo? I was alone. I was all by myself. No one was looking.

[Devin]

I'll give you one. If I'm on a business trip, which is rare that I'm alone cuz I'm usually with you knuckleheads.

[Noah]

Yeah, that's when you're eating lunch by yourself.

[Devin]

Yeah. I actually don't mind on that rare occasion because I'm around you guys so much. If Fox or Series 6M sends me somewhere Juan Solo style, it's just you and that sanguine. If you're sitting at the. At the bar and you're like, yeah, let me see the menu of a Tito soda. Let me see all the burger. And you're sitting there by yourself, that's sort of a fun mission.

[Noah]

Just like lost in thought, taking bites. I know. And you have kind of cool. That's a cool one. I don't mind.

[Devin]

And you have that feeling, Kavino, where like no one could find me right now if they tried.

[Noah]

Lunch is fine. Dinner by yourself is a little weird.

[Iowa Sam]

The weird part is Rich went to go bowling by himself after that.

[Noah]

Oh, that's really weird.

[Devin]

That's a good weird one. And we'll take your feedback next. The weird ones, the fun ones. Solo missions next. More Cavino and Rich in for Dan Patrick.

[Manny]

Why are TSA rules so confusing?

[Devin]

You got a hoodie on. Take it all.

[Manny]

I'm Manny.

[Noah]

I'm Noah. This is Devin.

[Manny]

And we're best friends and journalists with a new podcast called no Such Thing, where we get to the bottom of questions like that. Why are you screaming at me? I can't expect what to do now if the rule was the same, go off on me, I deserve it.

[Devin]

You know, Lock him up.

[Dana Schwartz]

Have you ever looked at a piece of abstract art or music or poetry and thought that's just a bunch of pretentious nonsense? That's exactly what two bored Australian soldiers set out to prove during World War II when they tricked the literary world with their intentionally bad poetry, setting off a major scandal. We break down the truth, the lies, and the poetry in between on Hoax, a new podcast hosted by me, Lizzie Logan, and me, Dana Schwartz.
