Dude sweeping the nation. Mike. Danny G. Do you know the words of wisdom? Mike's words of wisdom. Every what? Everybody's talking about it. Who? I have to tell a quick barber story. All right, but before we do that, before we hear about Tiki and Ronde, we're broadcasting Brutus the barber beefcake. Yeah. Before we hear about it, Marion Barbara Tirerack.com. it's the studio. Tirerack.com will help you get there. An unmatched selection, fast. Free shipping, free road hazard protection, over 10,000 recommended installers. Tirerack.com the tire buying should be. So I figured between our Patreon show and our Fox sports extravaganza. I would try to sneak in a haircut and I was like, you know what? Perfect timing. Noon. I'll be done by 12:30. Ish. Get over here early. Get some lunch. Prep for the show with you. Get a little Starbucks cold brew. Get some pump. I'm in the barber chair now. I don't know how your barbershop is or who cut your hair. I know there's the places where there's like eight chairs and everyone's chopping it up. That's not how our. Our barber, Addy is. My barber cuts my hair and then he lights it on fire. You ever see those clips on social media? Chops it with an axe. Yeah, I got a really advanced barber. Crazy techniques he uses. Like you're not talking about Greek flaming cheese. I don't know if it's an LA thing, Sam, or what. On fire. He's one of those guys. You ever see those guys on social media where they put all the like the wax up a guy's nose and like. Oh yeah, that's what they do. And then they spray paint my head Carlos Beltran style. Yeah. So like your boy Ryan Holland. Yeah, like Ryan boy Ryan. I'm telling him you said that. So I'm in the barber chair now. You were thinking it my place, Danny G. And I feel like this is more common around the country. And that's awesome because we are on the radio all over the country. You know the salons and barbershops where every barber or hairstylist has their own little room. It's like a building a facility and everyone has their own little like office. Essentially. Our dude Addie, always watching the NBA, he's got his own little office. He pays for his own little chair. Yeah, you pay for your chair. But it's not, it's not an open space. It's like little rooms in the middle of my haircut. Some dude just walks in, he's like, hey, what's up guys? And I'm thinking, Marin, I'm in the middle of getting a haircut. I'm talking about the. Honestly, I was talking about the NBA Western Conference and how there is a four way tie. What is it? The 4, 5, 6 and 7 or something are the same exact record right now. And between the three and eight seed is two games. He's a big Clippers fan. Pun intended. He's a barber, but he actually is a Clippers fan. And he says the clips don't lie. His clips don't lie. Yeah, man, it's tight, obviously. Oklahoma City, first place Rockets 52 wins. Lakers 48 wins. Clippers 47 wins. Everyone else has 47 wins. The warriors, as we speak right now, the Clips, the Nuggets, the warriors and the Grizzlies all have the same exact record. And the Lakers are only one game better than those teams. So five games tied. Five teams essentially tied. And this guy's like, hey, what's up, guys? And I'm thinking, is this another barber coming to say what's up? Is this his boy? It's a solicitor. He's like, hey, what's your Internet provider? What's your cell phone plan? Solicitors could go into a store and start talking to people while they're working. And this guy wouldn't stop after. He's trying to talk about like, what do you have now? He's like, yeah, man, I'm cutting hair. I got T mobile. He's like, well, let me tell you about what AT&T has to offer. This is extremely rude and intru. And so what did you say and do? And what. What Internet provider do you guys have here at this place? And my barber's trying to be all nice, like, I don't know, man. I think we got like Spectrum and I got T mobile. And yeah, so back to the, you know, the Clippers. Can you, you know, I went last night. It's not on you. Your barber, Addy, who's great, should have dismissed him immediately and be like, yo, man, I'm in the middle of a haircut doing business right now. You're distracting me. And if he didn't take it upon himself, you have every right to repeat these words. Remember two words. And you could use them for lots of things. I use them multiple times a day. These two words, it sounds lame and you might think of Michael Jackson, but they always work. Beat it. Hey, dude, beat it. What are you doing interrupting my haircut? Anyone? Distracting my barber when I'm getting a haircut is in my way and ruining my time with the barber. It's given him opportunity to mess up on your hair. I'm a yappy guy. I don't mind chit chat with anyone. But can you imagine going into a barbershop in the middle of a guy cutting someone else's hair and being like, hey, who's your cell phone provider? And continuing the conversation to the point where I was like. I said to the guy, go, yo, my guy, I admire your hustle, but pretty. You got some huevos on you to. To interrupt a Haircut. That's a job that requires a lot of focus, too. You imagine a solicitor coming into a checkup room at your doctor's like, what are you doing, man? By the way, it's a two way street date. It's really happened to me once at the proctologist. No, no, but it's a two way street, meaning a barber who takes pride in their work. They don't like when you're in the chair and you're turning your head to talk to somebody else. They don't like that because then they'll mess up and they have to deal with it. And like I said, pride in their work. But at the same time, when you're getting your hair cut, two way street, you don't want the barber to keep talking to the other barber or someone else who's talking about the game. You don't want someone else taking their attention away from your head sculpting. I had somebody try to chit chat with my tattoo artist. Yeah. Even worse. That's permanent. Yeah. Please focus. No, you mean mug the guy. You say, hey, respectfully, you're distracting my moment here. It's not. It's not appropriate and there's ethics involved. And I feel like this kid way crossed the line. Danny's. That's why Danny's. Danny's tattoo doesn't say Kobe. It says CO EB he mixed up the B and the E. No, let's be real. Yeah, it's not a tattoo. Danny G. But people take their haircut seriously. Wait a second. Kobe wasn't Jersey 9. No. Yeah, exactly. I just. I want to throw it out there. We're going to get it to the NBA. But I. I know everyone listening. There's enough distractions. The game's on at the barbershop. You know the culture of a barbershop or when you get your hair cut, no one wants distractions. I just thought it was the huevos on this guy to start trying to sell cell phone plans to my barber mid haircut. And then I even said to the guy, I told him, man, pretty, I admire your hot in the most. In his defense, there was no sign that said no soliciting. So I guess he had everybody, you got to have the sign. I. I then said, you better at least got this guy cut your hair. You better sign up for a haircut if you're going to bother him. Two words, Rich. Beat it. Beat it. Beat it. Dude, can I. Something actually similar to me happened last week. I was napping and I think I woke up late, the sun was already down. It was like 7:30. And I get a knock. My doorbell rings. I live in an apartment. Not a lot of apartments have doorbells. But I was like, huh. Jolted awake. I'm all groggy. I open the door and I picture you jumping up like Kramer when you did that. Oh, totally. Hair shaking all over the thing. So I opened the door and I'm, I'm like hello. And it's a guy trying to sell me a Verizon Internet plan. Yeah, it's intrusive. And I was so. And I gotta respect the guy because it's a tough job doing being like a door to door salesman. It's not a thing you see a lot these days. He was a very nice young man and he started ask hard hitting questions. And he was right. I pay way too much for Internet now. After like five years with this one company, he had a better price for me. But I was so groggy and out of it that I was like, like I answered a few of his questions and I was just like, I gotta go. And then I just closed the door awkwardly. It was so awkward. I get it. You don't want to be rude. I'm sorry, but it's still not okay. It's when people call you when you're at work because they're trying to sell you some nonsense. You know someone. I'll throw FaceTime in there. I feel like that's intrusive too. It's like yo dude, beat it. And when someone goes to your apartment or condo complex, that's a whole other ball game. Or to your home, up to your personal space, your driveway. Especially if you have kids and you got some stranger walking into your your property because he's trying to sell you some nonsense kid. Out of my face. I had a good deal for me though. I was like, he has a point. I actually should switch. Then that's on you. Then call them up. You know you don't actually might work. You knew that guy bothering you when you're taking a nap. I was like, but here's the deal. We forget that it wasn't long ago that everyone knew someone. It could have been your uncle, your neighbor. There were people that were door to door salesmen. That's what people did. They sold the. Oh, vacuums. I'm a door to door sales. It's alarming now, Rich. It's not as common as it used to be. Yeah, I get it. The Avon lady would be there hanging out with your mom. You thought that woman Was your mom's friend. Someone was selling Cutco knives. Avon calling. It was like their little jingle. Cutco dude was there your new phone plan guy swans trying to sell you those TV dinners. Jehovah's Witness person like that happened all the time. It's few and far between now. So that's why it's alarming. And poor Sam almost had a heart attack. You need your skin so soft to the mosquitoes. But no, just. Just a reminder that it wasn't long ago that we were used to people knocking on our door and. And we were okay with it. Door to door salesman. That was the thing. Now it's rude. Someone's trying to sell you solar or pest control. You can't justify it. Dude, if you were getting a massage, this guy walked in and just to give him. That's on your time on a service you're paying for. It's distracting. The barber or the masseuse or whatever, that's just inappropriate. We can move on to the NBA now. Which is what I was talking to my barber about when I was interrupted by this guy. And it's so sorry to interrupt it. Really. I had to bring it up only because I needed affirmation in the room that I wasn't losing my mind because I'm not a picky guy with that type of stuff. I get it. But I found it very odd that mid haircut. Some guy thought my barber's attention should be on his cell phone plants. This guy's. He's got the Clippers trying to give me just the right fade. And this guy's like, how much you're paying monthly? Are you kidding me? Yeah, I mean, I guess. Yeah, you do commend the hustle, but not on your time, not on your watch. Okay, well, while I was talking about barber, it was about the Western Conference. And as I said, after all this time, we're less than a week away into the NBA playoffs and the Lakers and Clippers one game apart. The Golden State warriors, the Denver Nuggets, Lakers, Clippers, Memphis. And Minnesota is only one game behind them. It is tighter like you said than a pair of skinny jeans in the 2000s. But last night was a game tighter than your medium shirts that used to get at express men's medium. Yeah, you're tight. Well, T shirts used to wear that. I got it. Gap Kids, the Lakers, they got the three seed. They're a game up on all these teams. But you know, maybe they could have been two games up. There was a close game last night in okc and it was close. There was a. I mean, if there was, it was. It was a one point game. Luca drives to the basket, makes a pretty damn good shot in traffic. And then you see him, like, it appears to be barking towards the sidelines, towards the bench, to the crowd, perhaps. He put him up 108 to 107 at that point. And all sudden, whistle blows, he gets teed up. Second one out, and you see The Lakers and JJ Redick looking like, what? LeBron help him plead the case? He's saying that he. He barked at a fan. The ref seemed like he was fed up. What is your initial take? Is your initial take that when the refs and officials, their ego gets in the way where getting it right takes a backseat to their feelings? Well, here's the thing. We often take like one side when it comes to sports talk radio especially. But the truth is there's more than one side to this, right? Because I do see, like, hey, you know, the fans aren't here to see the ref throw out the biggest star in the game. That's not where you're paying crazy amounts of money to see. Especially when you got kids there and they're like, oh, Luka. Especially in a meaningful game. And you. That matters. You've seen this in baseball as well, where like a Bryce Harper, a star player, you know, might get a little chippy and the umpire, you're out of here. But at the same time, you have to have the wherewithal as a superstar to know that you're one call away from being out of the game. So, you know, you got to acknowledge that too. And you're going to let, as Ben Maller said, your boy Ben Maller went off on Luca. Danny G. I know it's your boy too. That must be weird because Danny G. Is the biggest Lakers fan and Ben Ma hates on Lakers and they're good pals. We talk about it on the fifth hour podcast every weekend. But I laugh about it because Ben just has a very unhealthy infatuation with the Lakers. He is definitely a closet Lakers fan. He was like, Luca is a baby who's crying and thrown out of the game because some guy in a bolo tie got under his baby skin. You're going to let a guy wearing a bolo tie in his hands? And it's so true. It's like, yes, I hate that the refs threw him out of the game. Meaningful game. People are there to see him, not you. But come on, dude, you got to be better Than that cove. I understand, I understand that point. And had he gotten into it with that ref right there, I could understand that. But as a player, if you're responding to a fan that's been chirping at you in your mind, are you thinking, I'm going to get a tech for this? No. But he's clearly rubbing the referees wrong. Right. It's not his first time that he's having a problem or crying to the refs. And my point here is simply that two things could be true. And I think there's little truth to both of those things. Rich, your take where the refs, you know, they're going a little over. I think when a ref or an official or an umpire makes it about them and their feelings being heard. Are you overstepped? That's, that's not the point. You're there to officiate the game. The game is still about the fans going there to see the star players and the game be played. And I think there's a pride in letting something be overturned. I remember there was a play at a Yankees game. You remember this clearly. I'm sure you're a Yankees fan. Aaron Boone was chirping at the umpire and the umpire is like, one more word out of you, Boony, and you're out of here. One pitch later, someone in the stands is like, the umpire turns around, he's like, boone out. And he said he didn't say a word. And he read a ventriloquist. He threw his voice, the fan through his voice at Boone. Imagine the John Boy breakdown of Boonie saying, I didn't say anything. Yeah, I didn't say anything. And he comes storming out of the dugout and here's the other side, Rich, that you and I talked about earlier. To wrap up that point though, I think you have to be able to then maybe correct yourself if there was evidence in any fashion that. All right, let's go to. You know, they replay fouls, they replay things. What if they go, you know what, let me take a look at the tape. If Luca, if you, if LeBron and JJ Redick, everyone's like, no, ref, you got it wrong. I promise you. Yeah. Why does it have to be like a final call in stone? They're not Judge Judy, they're not the judge. Declare in stone. And that well known OKC fan admitted they talked to him after the game and he admitted that, yeah, Luca was chirping back at me and the refs could have got that mistaken, but he was talking to me that's wild. And by the way, I was saying, you said you have LeBron and Luka talking about this after the game. Where do we want to start? You want to. Let's start with Luka himself. You can see it that happened. But, you know, I never got a fan of Jackson. Never. But if he's going to talk, I'm going to talk back like always. So that had nothing to do with the ref. So I didn't really understand. He didn't understand it had nothing to do with the refs. And here's LeBron James. It was a weird couple minutes after that, starting with the ejection. I don't know why the ref was taking it personal. He had already gave Luka one, and Luka knew that. And Luka was going back and forth at that time with a fan that was hitting courtside, like Luka does when fans get the talk. Talk out of their mind, whatever the case may be. And he's going back and forth in the ref took it upon himself to think it was, you know, versus him or whatever the case may be. But then another tee on Bando after a block shot, and this game was just. Just weird as hell after that moment. Weird. Weird as hell. Yeah, but you can't fly off the handle all the time, and you don't want that sort of reputation to be with you in these crucial moments. And there is the flip side to the story, too, where, as I gave credit to him before, the great Ben Maller, we are now starting to see why Nico Harrison made the right move. Because he's saying he's uncoachable, baby. But again, your reputation sometimes precedes yourself. And I think if he wasn't crying all the time and rubbing the refs wrong, they wouldn't have been quick to toss him. I'm with Covino on this because he wouldn't have got tossed if he didn't have the first technical. It only would have been his first technical of the game. It was because it was the second one that he got tossed. By the way, Dave McMenamin covers the NBA and the Lakers for ESPN reports that the NBA has notified the Lakers they've rescinded the second technical against Luka from last night's game. Too late. Yeah, right. Yeah. And I'm glad DB pointed to that first tee because it's. It's telling what Vando said about it. He said that he thought he got fouled. This. This was when Luca was arguing about Vando getting fouled on that first tee. He says I did get slapped across the head. That's what Luca was telling the ref. He told him what happened, and the ref told Luca, I'll talk to anybody but you, Luca. So it seemed a little personal at that point, and he teed him up. So wait, you're saying the NBA has said we take it back the second they. Yeah, rescinded the second one. To quote the great Robbie Hart, that's information I could have used yesterday. One Lakers lost later. Maybe. Can we go back to the fourth quarter then? But I think Kavito's point is still true, though. Like, just if it's followed him everywhere, obviously followed him from Dallas to la, you got to tone it down a little bit, because otherwise you get caught in these situations where you do chirp and people. The reputation preceded him in this situation. Yeah. And two things can be true, Rich. I do agree that the refs, they get on a power trip sometimes, and it's annoying for the fans and it's annoying as a basketball fan because you don't get to see the true outcome of the game. It's a meaningful game. So I see all the sides here. Two things can be true. We often take one side here when it comes to sports talk. Can I throw a fun ref umpire nugget in here? There. There was a trend that maybe began, which is why they shut it down immediately in spring training this year, before the MLB season kicked off. What were they sampling in the preseason? In the. In spring training. Oh, the strike zone call. Right. You could challenging the strike, tap your helmet. They made it very clear that if you do that in the regular season, it's a sneak diss at the ump. So like, let's say Aaron Judge is like, that was outside. Even though it doesn't matter if he jokingly is like tap, tap. That is automatic. That's like equally being mouthy. Like, because you're showing up the umpire doing the little tap of your helmet is your subconscious way of being like bs well, even on the lowest of levels, you coach Pony League baseball and girls softball, isn't there an unwritten rule where a parent can't talk back to the umpire? Not even a word. So on the lowest of levels, if the kids know and the parents know, everybody knows in the lowest of levels that it is what it is. No, you can't even do it when Luke already has one on him. He has to zip it up a little bit in these crucial moments. No, it's even question learning lesson moving forward. There was a warning email that went out this is, this can't just be the, you know, the kid sports I coach, there was a warning to the parents and the coaches that if a ball is called, you can't even be like, like, don't worry, Sophia, great pitch. Like, you can't even. Zero tolerance thing right. Like, you can't even insinuate. Like, do that again, honey. That would that like, that was a strike. Like you, you cannot even insinuate that the umpire got it wrong in kid sports. So if you just joined us, Rich is saying that the ref's ego, that's what he said in the pre show meeting. The ref's ego killed a great game. Yeah, the ego. At the same time, you have to acknowledge that Luca's reputation may have preceded himself here in this situation. As you said, I agree with you. Multiple things, multiple things can be right at the same time. And I think that there's nothing wrong with getting it right. That's why replay has entered the world of sports. Basketball, baseball, NFL, college football, everything. Because we want to get it right. Correct. Don't we want to get the call right? So in that instance, if everyone on that Lakers bench, including the victim himself, Luca was like, I'm telling you, you got it wrong. What is the harm? Sometimes you see him at that scorers table for a minute or so looking if a ball's inbound that it goes off of someone. You couldn't have taken the 30 seconds to look who Luca was addressing. You know, there's a hundred cameras. All right, so your feedback, your phone calls, plus midweek major get it right. We have a lot to get to here on Cavino and Rich is Fox Sports Radio.

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is a story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war. J. Edgar Hoover was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to divine intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. Luka throws up an eight footer. Good. And the Lakers lead 108, 107. Oh, Luka just got thrown out. Why? He was talking trash to a fan and the referee thought he was talk to him. Oh, this is an absolutely horrible decision by JT or by the official. Absolutely horrible. You cannot throw a star player out of an NBA game for talking to a fan. No, the referee thought he was talking to him. Oh my gosh. This is unconscionable. You cannot do this in a game that's this good. This is one of the worst people pieces of officiating I have ever seen and I've done this for 25 years. I hate this call. And I would say the same thing if they were doing it to Shay. You cannot, Michael, throw a star player out of the game for talking to a fan. He didn't think he was talking to the fan. I don't care. The Referee thought he was talking to him. That's why he threw Luke out. They had three Lakers explain it to him, and he still stuck to his guns because his ego is bigger than Lucas staying in the game. That's courtesy of the Lakers audio network. We are Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. No Ireland Teller. Like, that was the. He had the enthusiasm. It was like all the humanity. Like, was the Hindenburg or something. You don't usually hear him that fired up. You ever hear the boxing announcer Mauro Ranallo? Unbelievable. This is a travesty. No, really, man. That's a wild one. And like we said, two things can be true. But oh, oh, oh, Luca's crying. Is he a sports baby or was it legit? Did the refs overstep? Both could be true, but, man, he's getting beat down today. Like I said before, Ben Maller here on Fox Sports Radio calling him us. He's a spoiled brat. Okay, cite another host because we know Ben Maller is going to say that Dog Russo, baby, he's becoming impossible to root for. Impossible to root for. What he says about Luca could also apply to Mad Dog Russo. Impossible to root for, impossible to listen to. Man, you definitely don't want to see the refs throw him out in that moment as well. And the Lakers go down. And a big night for Luca today. They're handing out thank you, Luca T shirts. And again, his return to see his. As Luca said at the press conference, his teammates, I mean, my ex teammates, I have thoughts about that. Would you want a thank you, Luca shirt? Well, it's his return to Dallas and it's going to be a very overwhelming, emotional night. I think that's a T shirt, Luca, once again. Well, those Mavs fans were hotter than Hornets when Luka left. They're still upset, Rich. That's true. But I mean, like, I feel like that's a shirt you end up washing your car with or something like that's. So do you blame the ref's ego or do you blame Luca? That's the question of the day. Hit us up at Covinoenrich and we'll still take your phone calls at 8-7 7-9. In fact, we have people that want to chime in on door to door sales. Folks, as I told you, I was getting a haircut today. In the middle. In the middle of getting my hair done. Barbers got the Clippers doing the precision fade. Some Clipper work, maybe. Respectfully, the salesman saw the size of your head and was like, well, I can't wait Another three hours. It's gonna take a while. Yeah, it's gonna take a while. If you don't mind, I'll be quick. Let's say hi to Matt in Indiana. What's up, Matt? Hey, thanks for having me, guys. What's up, buddy? Hey, when I heard that. I know you guys always talk about Costco and Sam's club and all that, and they've been really bad lately with those phone sales people, and I have to tell my wife that. Make sure you tell them that. We have the most upgraded technology. And, yes, we're with their planner, so I wish they would go away, too. No solicitation at those stores. You know what I did the other day? I was in bed. I was so embarrassed. I was at Costco. Thank you, buddy. And, you know, they do the samples, and you do the fake enthusiasm, like. Yeah, no, this is good. How much are these? There's, like, a weird instinct to look fake interested. Especially at the mall when you're like, Bourbon Chicken. What's that? Annie Ann's. Never had one. Sure. And, oh, the pretzel I've had 5,000 times. Can I get a sample of that? Yeah. Never had a cinnamon tasty pretzel before. You have to do the fake interest. Almost like when someone asks you, do you have a pen? And you know you don't. You do the weird check. Like, oh, no, I just. You check your. You check your pockets damn well, knowing you don't have a pen. Orange chicken. What's that? What is this? I. I don't know why. They must have been getting rid of, like, bread that was almost expiring. One of the handouts at Costco was simply bread with, like, a garlic butter spread on it. And I go, mmm. And my wife goes, did you just. Mm. It's bread. Like, you. Now you're overboard. I never had bread. Oh, what a text. What is this? Toast? What a luxury. Is this bread with butter? Oh, it's exotic. It's scrumptious. It's gross. All right, well, hey. We are live from the Tirerack.com studio, Kavina unreached. Brought to you by Travis Matthew. Apparel designed for confidence and comfort.

And like I said before, I recommend those featherweight jeans. Game changer. Hey, Rich, I know this is a side conversation for another day, but there's a Jabroni on the Washington Nationals that I keep seeing. Dennis, you got to find out who it is. Oh, he almost got a single just now. He has the weakest mustache I've ever seen on a major league player. How weaker than Austin Wells? Yo, weaker dude. Weaker than Austin Wells. Pencil thin. Like weak ass mustaches. I'm a cat burglar. Yeah, please find out who that this is. It's the weak. I keep seeing it every time I look up. It's so weak it needs to be called out. But anyway, we're Kavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And you got to stick around for midweek. Major. The biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. We do it every Wednesday. Are they mid? Are they weak? Are they major? Plus there's a story about Rick Patino I think we're going to touch on next. We have lots to fit into this action packed show. I think you're talking about low, by the way, Nate. Nathaniel Lowe. This guy? Yeah, I think that's him. Yeah. Oh, man, it's bad. It's like he messed up. There's a Tigers player with an equally bad handlebar. See whether your dad like messed up and he just tried to save whatever was left. Like, it looks horrible. Horrible. Nathaniel Lowe. Shout out to you, my friend. Well, that's the news update from me. You're not going to get that from the professional. Next, let's kick it to our guy, DB Dan Byers. What's up, Dan? Any mustache updates? No, but it was a close shave for the Yankees today. Oh, yeah. Center field. Going back. Jazz, he's got room. Jazz is there, makes a two hand catch. Yankees win. Victory for the New York Yankees 4 3. The Final Dave Simms, Yankees radio network with the call. So yesterday they lose. Today the Yankees win. Let's check in on Rich's Mets. And Alonso drills one out to center. Myers working back to the warning track. Myers jumps up and he makes the catch to end the game. Dane Myers crashing into the wall in center. That was on the Marlins radio network locking up a 5 nothing win for the Marlins over the Mets today on the Marlins radio network. Couple of other finals. Corey Sigur. What? Yard twice at Wrigley. Rangers top the Cubs today 6 to 2 while it took 13. Pirates down the Cardinals 2 to 1. That game was scoreless going into extras and they didn't score until the 12th inning. But Pittsburgh gets the victory. Games going on right now. In the fifth inning, Houston's up on Seattle, four nothing. Reds lead the Giants 65 and the 6, while the Nationals have a 54 lead on the Dodgers in the fifth. In the sixth inning. In Arizona, it's all Diamondbacks blanking Baltimore 7 nothing, while the A's right now trail the Padres 2 to 1 in the eighth inning. Bottom of the eighth inning. A's do have a runner on second, though. Two outs in the bottom half of that frame. Local 10 News in South Florida reported earlier today that police were called to the home of Dolphins wide receiver Ty Kill over a domestic dispute on Monday. No arrests were made. No one was charged in the incident. Dolphins released a statement saying they are aware of the situation and are making no further comment at this time. The NBA did rescind the second technical foul given to Lakers guard Luka Doncic last night against the Thunder, the technical that got him ejected from that game. And soon to be hall of Famer Dwight Howard will play one more season of professional basketball, doing so in the Big Three this summer. Padres got out of it in the bottom half of the inning, so they head to the ninth to one. San Diego, guys, back to you. Thank you, DB. And 12 games into 162 with 150 games remaining. That's good math, Rich. I have one game above Kavina. Mets are eight and four. Yankees are seven and five. You know what? Just for the fun of it, you know, we have our thousand dollar bet. I really do hope in August, September, it's. They're like dead even. I think that'll make it fun. I'll tell you what, on a personal note, it's a great way to add more fun to the season when you make that personal bet with your buddy. Because it doesn't. It does have me glued on the Mets every day to see how they're doing. Truthfully, I'm not rooting against your Yankees. I will in September if it's close. But right now I think the Yankees being good is better for baseball and I think it just makes it more exciting. So except for the fact that you're hating on Austin Wells. Mustachio. You think that guy. That's a good look. Austin Wells mustache is not as bad as Nathaniel Lowe, who's playing right now. And of course, Jake Rogers, who's the latest Tiger to have a weak ass mustache. Yeah, look, I get it. The mustache is great. But it went from like, ironic to like now people are rocking it and it just looks weird. I don't like it. Looks dumb. Yesterday we said Paul Skeens look so much cooler with the beard. Yeah. Oh, for sure. We were watching Dodgers Tigers to start the season. And my wife Brenda saw Rogers on the Tigers. She's like, he looks like he drives a white van with candy. It looks like boys. Yeah, it looks like boys trying to look older. And you're not Don Mattingly. That's how I feel. I'm like, don Mattingly pulled it off. It was the 80s. It was a Tom Selleck era. It's not that way anymore. It just looks odd to me. But anyway, we're Covino and Rich and we got to talk about Rick Patino next. Yeah, I mean, there's something he's doing that I think is unconventional in the world of sports. Not as a coach, as a fan. Plus, the segment or feature, I should say that sweeping the nation. It's a brand new feature here on the show Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom. You know Mike who runs this place? Who? Yeah, he has Wednesday Words of wisdom. We're gonna play them for you. What? Yeah, because if we're gonna be subjected to them in our meetings and our pre show meetings, you guys will be too. You. Exactly, exactly. Passing the torture on to you. Can't wait. We'll do all that next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Is your business struggling to balance your workforce with production demands?

My name is Brendan Patrick Hughes, host of Divine Intervention. This is A story about radical nuns in combat boots and wild haired priests trading blows with J. Edgar Hoover in a hell bent effort to sabotage a war. J H at Gahuva was furious. Somebody violated the FBI and he wanted to bring the Catholic left to its knees. The FBI went around to all their neighbors and said to them, do you think these people are good Americans? It's got heists, tragedy, a trial of the century, and the God damnedest love story you've ever heard. I picked up the phone and my thought was, this is the most important phone call I'll ever make in my life. I couldn't believe it. I mean, Brendan, it was divine intervention. Listen to divine intervention on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Beat it. Don't let other people interrupt your haircut. You don't want to take the focus off your haircut. I can't believe Danny G1 up that story where someone was chatting with his tattoo artist. Yeah, that's the worst. That's. There's no worse than that. Now, Danny, a barber, you could be like, hey, we're. I'm getting a haircut here. If I was getting a tattoo and someone was taking the attention away from the person putting ink on me, I would lose my mind. Imagine that. Or how about when you're in like the middle of an order or you're dealing with someone at the register and then someone else comes in, they start like, interrupting because they forgot their drink or something. You're like, oh, dude, you're. Now you're interfering with my time. I just hate that. Or someone comes up to you and starts talking about torpedo bats. Yeah, get out of my face. Beat it. Thank you. If you just joined us. Rich was getting a haircut and some salesman came in and started interrupting the whole deal, taking the focus off his trimage. And it wasn't even like, like I said, a barbershop where there's like, you know, eight chairs and everyone's chopping it up. This is one of those places where there's individual rooms. Stalls. Yeah, stalls. Suites, essentially. Guy walks in, I thought it was his buddy. I'm like, oh, your buddy's here. We're talking to the NBA. And the guy's like, hey, who's your provider for your cell phone? Are you serious right now? It's Cavino Enriched live from the tirerack.com studio. We've talked a lot about Luca. It's amazing to see, like, I happen to find my personal opinion, Luka to be an amazing Basketball player and so likable. That's how I view him. And then it's amazing to see how other people view him as nothing but a crybaby sports baby. And I really think that a lot of it comes from. I just don't like the Lakers. That's really it. Because I never really heard that much crybaby hatred towards Luka before. I think you're right. Right. So be aware of what we're saying here on the Covino and Rich Show. We're professional social observationalists or something. That's what my business card says. So, Danny, it said radio tycoon. Yes. But underneath it says observational. He has horns on the front of his car like a boss hog. But I'm telling you, it's the awareness theory. Because you'll see how many people are like, all of a sudden, Luke is the biggest crybaby that ever was. I thought that was LeBron. Wait a minute. How could he be the biggest crybaby if his teammate's the biggest crybaby? I'm looking at the Western Conference and not the harp on it. But we did talk about how lakers at the 3 seed are one game better than 1, 2, 3, 4 teams. Clippers, Nuggets, Golden State and the grizzlies are all one game behind the Lakers, three games to go. And then the eight seed, the Minnesota Timberwolves. And then the nine and 10. Here's where. Listen, I get it. We like the extra playing game. It's fun, I suppose. But right now, to me, Danny, it's very clear. There's eight teams in the west that deserve it. It Sacramento and Dallas are under.500. Call it a day. I mean, if one of those teams. You tell that to ad, who's going to be balling his heart out tonight? No, he will. But once we get those playing games next week. Camino, honestly, look. Look at that right there. Minnesota at the eight seed is only two games behind the Lakers in the three seed. Sacramento and Dallas have no business. Don't forget, Sacramento is just a year removed from being a powerful team in the West. I remember. I remember. Light the be. We. We love that. A year ago, but I don't know. The Eastern Conference, the fact that the whole playing round, the 7, 8, 9, 10 are all under.500. Could we just skip around to the next rounds? I mean, we all know the NBA playoffs takes forever to begin with. I think it's very clear there's a lot of teams in it to win it. But 7, 8, 9, 10, the bottom, get him out. Well, you know what, Rich? Next hour, not only midweek Major, but speaking of the NBA, we're going to talk about a former San Antonio spurs legend. And if we have time, because the show's moving fast, like. But you can only talk about dire wolves or what? I don't know. I. You know, we're talking about dire wolves in a second. But first, can I just throw something by you? It's a theory that I feel like some people are gonna be like, yeah, nothing wrong with that. And other people are gonna say, this is a sports crime. And this has to do with being a city guy. Rick Patino, St. John's always a new York guy, right? And he talks about it. And they asked him about where you were. Mets or Yankees fan? Because he showed up. He showed up at a Mets event. Okay. And, Sam, we'll play the sound next hour. He sort of describes how he's a Mets and Yankees fan. And my first instinct is it can't be a Mets and Yankees fan. Can you be a Lakers and Clippers fan if you're in Chicago? I remember Sebastian Maniscalco recently got crap for this. Sebastian, how can you do that? He threw out the first pitch at the Cubs game. And those old school buddies were like, yo, bro, you're a White Sox guy. Wait, he's a White Sox guy. Aren't you embarrassed? So, I mean, I think you still take the honor in that particular case. Are you going to refuse to throw the pitch at it? Wrigley? No, but he said, well, I mean, I'm a White Sox. I bet I'm a Chicago guy. I'm a Chicago guy getting out of my car. So we're going to talk about, is it okay to be a city guy? And of course, Big Mike's words of wisdom coming up. What's up, everyone? It's Greg Rosenthal, and I'm teaming up with the king of spring, Daniel Jeremiah. He requires me to say that we're going to be bringing you 40s and free agents, the only podcast you'll need this NFL draft draft season.
