We do our weekly video podcast over promised and a bunch of clips constantly being put up there by Spotty Elijah and the whole video team. So thank you guys. And you know, I know Danny's joking here, but Rich does get Brotox before he got it done. He had actual Russell Crowe's feet, Russell CR and Cheryl Crow's feet right around his eyes. Look how great he looks right now. Listen, I've never got Botox. Sure you have. And I can't say I never will. I mean, I'm in my 40s. Maybe when I'm an old guy, maybe I'll be like, maybe I'll try to look like Simon Cowell one day. But I think if you do any of that as a dude under 50, ah, it's too, too soon. So let's wrap up the phone calls about Mahomes and the Chiefs and the villainous ways. I thought about it more. Yeah. Mahomes is a hero. He's a hero. Let me tell you why. I mean, heroic. He went from play the buzzer likable to man, come on. I'll tell you why. We're talking about whether or not him trying to draw an unnecessary roughness or a roughing the passer. Is that. Is that a little cheap? Troy Aikman got in on it this past weekend. Take a listen. He's trying to draw the penalty. You see that? Rather than just run out of bounds, he slows down. That's been the frustration, and I get it, I understand it. That's been the frustration for these defensive players around the league. And they had some moans and groans about that call where the defense collided against each other. Didn't even touch Mahomes. Now, if you're Patrick Mahomes, I say he's heroic in the eyes of his teammates because knowing that I'm going to tiptoe along the sidelines and I'm going to actually try to get an undisciplined member of their secondary to run up and, you know, shove me out of bounds, tackle me once I get out. I think Mahomes should be applauded for putting himself out there. That's team play right there. How am I going to get my team. Look at it. How am I going to get my team another 15 yards? I'm. I'm playing with. I'm playing with fire here. I'm not. You know, that's another way to look at it, Rich. I respect it. I respect your view on it, I should say. But I look at it like. And it's a compliment. I think Mahomes really, truly is. Should hold himself better and higher than that. He doesn't need to do that. It's like LeBron. You lose. Honestly, you lose a little respect for LeBron because, you know, he's already the goat. You know, he's one of the greatest out there to ever do it. When he's flopping and playing all these baby games to his advantage. Just looks lame. It doesn't. It's not part of the game. That's necessary, you know, when the NFL is going to run to tighten up the rules on this. The first time Mahomes gets lit up 15 yards, whoever walks away is going to be like, I got my money's worth. Because, Rich, we were joking about. We were joking about bro talks. But you still got wheels. When you play in your, you know, your softball games, imagine going full speed and then you had to stop on A dime. It's really. It's so hard to do as a defender. And we've seen former players talk about this. Yeah. So what's going to happen is a defender's not going to be able to stop at all and they are going to clock the you know what out of Mahomes. Now, again, I can't look you guys in the eyes and say, I don't think it's a little cheap, but he wants to win. And you could argue he was doing everything in his power to get an advantage. You always defend Andy Pettit because he admitted to taking HGH to get back on the field. I've always been a little sympathetic to steroid users in sports. I'll tell you why. Because if I was at. If I was at an elite level and you told me, here, take this and you'll be even better, I could see the temptation. Dude, if you told me, here, inject yourself with this once a week and you'll be the biggest, baddest radio podcast show ever. I'd be taking performance enhancing drugs tomorrow. Well, truthfully, I never commended Pettit for that. I commended him for his honesty. His honesty and putting that fire out immediately. And you saw how it worked. The fact that he was honest, no one really got on him. It's the people that lied and denied all the time that really got the heat. I think people trying to get an edge in sports, in life, in business. I'll never, I'll never blame a man or a woman for trying to get what's theirs. However, it's not illegal. So if Mahomes was baiting people, you know, okay, so, you know, by those rules, let's say you were dating somebody, right? But technically you were on a. You were like, you had a fight and you're like, you know what? We need a break. And then they cheated on you during that little weekend. Like, these are baby loopholes that don't necessarily apply. Wow, that should be a plot line of a big sitcom. Yeah, but don't you still feel like you were cheated on? Why? Because you played by the little baby rules and you found a loophole. It's okay. I know what you're saying. Doing on a national stage. I know what you're saying. And the microscope is on Mahomes. That little tiptoe on the sideline was the weakest of it yet. So you're saying a tiptoe on the sidelines and that really shows what's going on. A 15 yard flag is the same as your girlfriend. And you breaking up for a day and you taking that, it's like finding as a chance to go hook up. Yes. It's the cheapest loophole possible. I agree with that loop. I think that's a great analogy. Thank you. The guy that says, yeah, but yo, baby, we like broken up for the weekend. That's just. I get it. It's cheap. We technically weren't together. Yeah, but why? Because we had a fight. And I mean, let it breathe. So anyway, we'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Just speculating, not hating anybody, just chopping it up. 877-99-ON FOX. Let's go to Jersey. E Rock is ready. What's up, E Rock? Hey, E Rock. Hey, guys, what's up? I want to talk about football, but first, the Knicks. I'm a diehard Knicks fan. I think they should get Scotty Barnes. He's a great player. He'll do good. And. Or if they could get Rashawn Leonard, that'd be a good pickup, too. And also about the Bills, you know, I don't like them in the past because they, you know, to put it bluntly, that the worst team in football losing four Super Bowls. But I'm rooting for him this year. I think they're going to upset the Chiefs and Travis Kelsey's girlfriend is going to be crying in the stands. I told. I told my daughter and her friends. You know, my daughter's seven, so all her little pals are all seven, eight years old that love Taylor Swift. And I said, you guys should all root against the Chiefs. Why, dad? Because if Taylor Swift is sad, do you know how much new music is going to come out of this? There'll be songs about consoling your man and that. I think, I think this is benefit from the loss. You know, I'm so fixated on if the Bills do win. I'm waiting there, sitting there, waiting for Josh Allen, some of the leaders of the team, to give props to the previous generations of teams that came so close because I feel like they deserve it. This one's for you, Scott Norwood. I swear, like, I'm. I really want that to happen. I want it to be for the fans of the 90s and the players that came so close that paved the way for this community of Bills fandom and legacy. I can't wait to see them give credit to Jim Kelly and Norwood and all those other guys. Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed. This is for you. This is for you. I think that's deserved because it was so heartbreaking. I do. I really feel like if they do, they better do that. If they win, I got to see that. Let's go to Pete and Pa. What's up, Pete? Yeah, when you're. When you're talking about all this Mahomes stuff, and it was, like, probably six games ago, if I'm a coach of a team, I tell them my defenders, if you get the chance on the sideline to light him up, light him up. Hit him so hard. Crush him in that. Do whatever you have to do. I want you to get thrown out of the game. You hit him so hard, because what he is doing is nonsense. And I love him. I think he's awesome, but what he's doing is nonsense. Yeah. I think that's how we all feel. We all. Look, no one wants to see him get hurt. Right. And that's the risk, because guess what? You don't want to be the guy that hurts Mahomes either. Yeah, you know, man, that's. That's just bad for everybody. But, yeah, we all like Mo. He's a likable guy. And this almost goes against his character. Right. It doesn't match. He's a winner. All right. He's a slippery little one, isn't he? Yes, he's a slippery scoundrel. He's a rascal. You know, we can wrap this because we got Mahomes trivia to do. I know we want to talk about the hall of Fame inductions. We'll get word on that from DB and a few. But let's. Let's wrap up Mark in Missouri, Mahomes, you could agree, a likable guy. My. You know, my mom even said, my mom's a Raiders fan like you, Danny. She goes, I watch quarterback. And, you know, I hate to say it. He's so. Seems like such a nice guy. I'm like, yeah, he is. And his. His wife and everything. I feel like Mahomes is a great human being. But these little shenanigans, I could see where they rub people the wrong way. I. You could look at it as he's trying to get an edge, or you could say it's getting a little dirty now. You know what's interesting about Mahomes and how he is always carried himself. There are very few opportunities where things have gone wrong for Mahomes, but one of the opportunities was when they were playing the Bills and Kadarius. Tony lined up offsides. Remember they busted them. Yep. And the Bills end up winning the game. And Mahomes runs to Josh Allen and Instead of saying, good game, you know, you got us on this one. All he do. That was the worst call I've ever seen. It's the worst call I've ever seen in my life. And so there. So there are very few instances where Patrick Mahomes is on the short side of things. Right. So it's interesting to see like on how he responds and there's just been such few work where we have seen where he has lost. They lost to the Buccaneers in a game where they didn't have two tackles and he was running for his life. And he handled that with, with grace. I'm just looking at that other one being like, okay, well what about if things turn source, you know, is there that little part of him? I want to see that part of edge of Patrick Mahomes because we did see it come out on that Bill's play. Does he lose his cool? Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Maybe. We'll ask him. Let's. Let's ride with Mark. Mark, you're on. Do we talk to Mark R or no? No. Okay. Hey, Mark, what's up? Hey, I was just calling about this Mahomes deal. I'm. I'm a homer. I'm from Missouri, so these crying about this issue doesn't sit well with me. Let me. This discussion about. Well, he's just doing it to draw a penalty or a foul. Well, if that's a criterion, my God. Let's. We don't want these hard counts anymore by quarterbacks because why are they doing it to draw a penalty. We don't want these quick snaps when the defense has too many men on the field. Why? Because they're trying to draw a penalty. Hey, Mark. That's sort of Mark. Hey, listen, buddy boy, that was sort of my point. So don't say everyone. I was sort of saying what you were saying, that we always try to get a competitive advantage and this one just. It feels a little dirtier because it involves a hit and involves a guy going full speed. Like, what do you expect them to do? That's what it is, right? Like when. When Aaron Rodgers was the master of the hard count and he got people to jump. What is that? Oh, you tricked me, Aaron. But those rules are clear, right? Like these other rules. Like you do you have defenders tiptoeing around because they don't know what to do. I think there's a solution and the solution is simple. Make 15 yard play, 15 yard penalties and penalties of this sort reviewable. Because if it's a clearly bad Hit, penalty stays. If not, if you see the quarterback, you know, up to shenanigans or it wasn't as bad of a hit as you thought, then you could simply pull the flag and say, no, no foul on the ball. No. Then it's 15 yards against them. How about that? Yes, go ahead and flop now. Now you've gone too far. Kavito, are you a fan? When a boxer does this, you know, let's tap gloves and go. I hate that. And they do go for a cheap shot because protect yourself at all times. Yeah, cheap as hell. And a prime example would be when Floyd Mayweather knocked out Victor Ortiz. That was the weakest knockout I've ever seen. I never respected it. In other words, if you never saw the fight. The golden rule in boxing is protect yourself at all times. And Ortiz was trying to like, you know, hug Mayweather and just tap gloves, like get back at the fight. And in the middle of him trying to show a little respect, Mayweather knocked him out. That's weak. That it is. And I get it, you're supposed to protect yourself, but that's finding a cheap loophole to your advantage. That's what I think Mahomes. Yeah, does. I get it, but I don't respect it. Yeah, right. Did Mayweather need to do that? Especially when it's a Floyd Mayweather, you, He's one of the greats. So. Yeah, I mean, I try to be consistent on that. Good call, Dan Byer. And before we get to Dan's update. What's up, Dan? I was just going to say we're about to find out the haul. I have a thought on this. Okay. You know, there's a lot of great names. We have the list here. I mean, they're all great players. And the only difference is some are really great players and some are really good players. Some are hall of Fame worthy, some are borderline, but they're all really good. All these dudes are really impressive names on this list. Right. Well, don't be off to say like it's not the whole of great. It's the Hall. It's, you know, this is. Yeah, it's not the hall of Good. And I gotta say this before it happens. If Ichiro Suzuki is not unanimous, my goodness. Some writers just. Yeah, that's another one of those moments where some writers flexing for no reason. Yeah. Like this is the guy who without a doubt should be unanimous. The way he handled himself, his career in Japan and in MLB combined as a professional, the way he. And by the way, that should play maybe a little more of a factor in the United States. I'll tell you why. Because now the hall of Fame, doesn't it comprise of Major League Baseball and the Negro League numbers. Right. When it comes to records, it does. Yeah. So maybe you do account for more of what Ichiro did in Japan. It's unbelievable what he did in Japan and in the MLB and just how great he was in every stage of his career. His longevity. If he's not unanimous, you know, some dude is flexing, and if anyone should be unanimous, a la Mariano Rivera, is Ichiro. Can I give you guys two names before db lets us know the scoop when it comes in. There's two names where I'm so torn on because I'm like, I don't know, am I inflating them or not giving them enough credit? Two people, okay. Carlos Beltran and Andrew Jones. Are you saying they're borderline guys? I'm like, I don't know. Like, I would be not shocked if it went either way, because I look at Andrew Jones and he's so symbolic of those great Braves teams and just his glove alone and what he did as a defender in the outfield. And Beltron was a great postseason player. Other than that, one strikeout as a Met, and he had, like, what, 4, 34, 60 home runs? He was up there. Beltran, defensively, speed, everything. Smart ball player. Carlos Beltran, as John Miller would call him. John Miller would call him Carlos Beltran. Carlos Beltran in his prime. I feel like there was a point, I mean, in everybody's life, he would glide through the outfield like a gazelle. Yeah, but. And then there was a real clear point, like I said, in everybody's life, but in a professional athlete's life, his life, especially, where he went from really great athlete to, like, he put on a few extra pounds, wasn't the same. But Carlos Beltran, I think. Yeah, I think he's a Hall of Fame. I think all these guys are good. I think there's some guys on that list that are really good, but they're not like Grandy, man. Curtis Granderson, good, but not a Hall of Famer. Bobby Abreu, same thing. Manny Ramirez is in. There's no question. I think Omar Vasquel is in. Just based on the Gold Glove and his Gold Gloves and his legacy as a. As a miraculous infielder. Ichiro should be unanimous. Forget about being in CC's in guaranteed. You know, these should be guarantees to me. Yes, yes, yes, yes. Sabathia, cc, Captain Crunch Sabathia. So a lot of people know his real name is Captain Crunch. Are people. Are they in Cooperstown? Are they going to put his extra large baggy Yankees pants? Yes. Yeah. Look like he was wearing pajamas. His pajama pants are making the hall of Fame pajamas. So I can't wait to hear this. But yeah, not everybody's getting in, so I don't want a rod gets in. I'm sorry, he's not. I mean, his numbers are there, but because of the steroids, he's not in. Db, Are we breaking news yet or should we break and come back? What do you think? Breaking news. Breaking news from Fox Sports. So this is in progress, guys. Ichiro Suzuki, officially a Hall of Famer, member of the class of 2025. Wow. As is CC Sabathia. Oh, yes. He is officially a member of the class of 2025. They are making the announcement as we speak. Because of the great accomplishments, they're listing off the accomplishments of each of the players and so far it's been each a row at CC Sabathia. And we expect at least another name or two. As they said that there are. It is a multiple player class. Now. Not only that, you know, I put CC Sabathia in a. In a different category because he was a great postseason pitcher, too. I remember he was like a hired gun for a couple of years. I remember the brewers years like Cece, wherever he was, he played big from. In my mind, he's just one of those old school guys again who I just feel like if he was healthy, he could have been even closer to 300 wins. What was he like? 250 something. You know, he was up there in wins, great career with Cleveland, Milwaukee, N.Y. 19 years in the bigs. I just looked it up and Billy Wagner is the final member of the class of 2025. So Billy Wagner gets into the hall of Fame final year on the ballot. That's it. That is it. The three players that are in. Wow. So my speculation on Beltron and Andrew Jones were close, but maybe not first ballot. We were sort of right on the money with that Billy Wagner. What did I say before the announcement? I said last year he was within five votes, like DB confirmed. And do you remember in the off season, Billy Wagner said, yeah, who cares about the hall of Fame if you're not going to vote me in because I chose to retire early and spend time with my kids, then, you know, beat it. That. That must have got into the mind of some writers. And you don't think, yeah, But I'm sort of surprised Omar Visquel didn't get in. He's like, he had 202,877 hits. That's 123 short. Give me a break. He had enough Gold Gloves to make up for that. What about since he hit on my sister Lemon Gold Gloves he had. He also hit on my sister when he was in the minor leagues. And so he's saying he has good taste. He could have been a member of the Byer family. I don't know. I don't know if we. Omar's had some stuff in his past, but when he was a minor leaguer. Yeah, he was sure interested. Wow. Invited her to a game, maybe you could have been best pals. It could have been like the Omar and Dan show. Right. I'm just thinking defensively. Wow. I'm surprised he wasn't in there. But congratulations to The Class of 2025 Baseball hall of Fame, Ichiro Sabathia and Billy Wagner. How about this? This is what's going to stand out. It was Josh Rawich of the hall of Fame. Ichiro is not a unanimous selection. That's garbage. One person kept him off the ballot 99.7%. That guy of the vote, Karate kicked in the chest. That is a joke. That means you don't know baseball. Right. It's like to me, I'm always fascinated, like that person should have their votes revoked without a doubt. I mean that. I'm not saying that for a fact deserves a slap in the face. Imagine it was Rob Parker. Imagine Rob Parker's like, it was me. There's gotta be integrity involved. My whole issue with it. And I'm not picking on Cavino, but for the only person to be Mariano Rivera in the closer position. It's not that he isn't or shouldn't have been a first ballot or unanimous, it's just that he's the only one that is. And it's so crazy to me that we sit here and we look at the closer position or reliever position and now scrutinize it in today's game that he is the only unanimous one. Yeah. Mo Rivera. I mean, look, as a Yankees fan, I don't mind he's still the only one. But I do think that Ichiro is worthy of that. Well, hey, we got more Covino and Rich. We're going to get to Showtime. Mahomes trivia. You want in win a Swiggy. The number is 87799. On Fox, we'll talk a little hall of Fame baseball.

So Ichiro joins Derek Jeter in the hall of Fame with one vote against him, huh? That's so lame. Honestly, how does that reporter, writer, whoever that vote belongs to, how do they look at themselves in the mirror or look at anyone with a straight face and say, oh, I don't think Ichiro's a Hall of Fame? Well, I don't want it to be the story. So congrats to Billy Wagner, cece Sabathia and Ichiro, all deserving. Cece and Ichiro should have been unanimous, but whatever, they're in there. That's all that matters. As you know, Derek Jeter and Ichiro both one vote shy of unanimous. We're live from the Tyrack.com studio. Rapid radios are the wonky talkie for the playoffs.

Let's get it on. All right, I'm here. Patrick Mahomes, the villain. And I'll also be here someday. How many square feet is the Pro Football hall of Fame in Canton? Oh, 118,000 square feet. Interesting. 132,000 square feet. Or c. 85,000 square feet. Patty. Patrick. I'm gonna go with 132. No. Oh, Rich. Rich for the steel. I feel like it's deceptively maybe smaller than we think. 85C. Oh, you're both losers. Ah, man. 118,000 square feet. It was originally 19,000 square feet before our three expansions. 118,000. We'll see you there one day. And congrats to Ichiros, my guy. Okay, so nobody on the board yet as we move to round two. What was I once quoted saying about making mistakes? Okay, here we go. A, we all make mistakes in football. The key is to not make them in the fourth quarter. B, I just try to learn from every mistake that I make so that I never make them again. Or C, only mistake I make with the refs was treating them to the melting pot instead of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse. Patrick got in there. I'm gonna go with B. B? Yes. I say C. Let's go. Big melting pot fan, huh? By the way, I didn't make any mistake flopping on the side my this weekend. I actually tripped. It was a trip. If you look closely, I just stumbled on my foot. And you heard it here on Fox Sports Radio. You ever get that cheese fondue at the melting potassium? Great, Pat. So Patrick in Scottsdale's on the board as we move to round three. All right, round three. Patrick Mahomes here. Who is the first player to return a punt for a touchdown in his NFL debut? Was it A, Deion Sanders Bay, B, Tim Brown, or C, Devin Hester? Damn. Got it. Wow. Byer got in there. I'm gonna guess B, Tim Brown. No. Oh, you went with Denny as a Raiders fan, so. All right. What do you think, Patrick? Did Patrick get in there? You're going Deion Sanders. You just won a spongy. Yes. Wow. All right, man. You just won. Like they were gonna win against the Bills. Patrick in Arizona. Congrats. We're gonna mail out a CNR Swiggy to you. Thanks, bud. I think he cheated. He didn't really. What is a squiggy, by the way? It's a stainless steel water bottle. Oh, man, I can't wait. What a guy. Thank you, Patrick. Hold on. It's a man thong. Be sure to send a picture. Oh, Patrick, good luck. All right. Hey, a stringy Patrick. Let's hope the Bills don't annihilate you when you tiptoe on the sideline. We will see. Sunday. By the way, I'm putting you on the spot. Dan Byer. Danny. Anyone read any weather reports for Sunday? Is Kansas City going to be just chilly or is it wet snow or anything or. No, it's. It's a night game. It'll be the second game, but it's low of 24, high of about 36 that day. No freezing temperatures. Not horrible. Well, I'll be fired Up. I gotta go. Oh, you're still here. Yeah. All right. Later, guys. All right, don't be hating. You notice he's got extra security. Later, guys. Later, Pat. Bye, Patrick. Real quick, before you get back to the annoyed. I just saw Patrick in the hallway. He was annoyed with all the smack talk today, but I told him, hey, man, we're just. We're just trying to figure it out, man. Just trying to figure it out. That wasn't security. That was the refs, you know, hanging out. Can I tell you my. Yeah, he. Patrick, Mahomes rocks with this whole crew. They're wearing a footlocker outfit. Yeah, it's weird. Yeah. I don't know. Can I tell you my. My instinct now that he's gone and I don't want to sell Patrick. I mean, why would you want to do that in front of him? My. My instinct, which could mean absolutely nothing because, you know, even the best of gamblers, what hit 50 to 60%, I feel like Buffalo may annihilate Kansas City. I know, I know that sounds like. How can you even say that when the. When The Chiefs go 15 and 2 and they're back to back champions? I just feel like I. I feel like you watch the Chiefs all year beat teams by just being smarter and by. Just like you said, they gained less yards than the Texans last week. Every. Everything about Kansas City feels like they're just smart and find ways to win. You want a lukewarm take? That I'm willing to say on Fox radio. But what I'm saying is the same way last night you could say, man, Notre Dame just had so much heart. What a great team. But Ohio State was just so much. They just have better talent. I think right now Buffalo is just a better team. And the only way Kansas City wins is if they win by pure football brains. I feel like Mahomes and Kelsey and the Chiefs still got that magic in them. And what really convinced me of that was that play where he was falling down. He threw it to Kelsey in the end zone. Kelsey just caught it there wide open. While he was. It just reminded me that, you know what, maybe they barely won all these games this year, but they still got that magic. They're still the Chiefs. You could argue last year they barely did everything and they won a Super bowl. Db, let's go to you for an update. But any. Any thoughts on that Buffalo thought or. No, they're just. I feel like Buffalo is so prime to win right now. I don't have that sense. No, I don't have that sense. I think it could be a lower scoring game just because of how good Kansas City's defense has been. But hey, if you're right then kudos to you and I'd like to see Buffalo win. So I actually do hope that you're right. I want to quick give you guys an exerc. I voted. I printed out the voting ballots for the hall of Fame. Yeah, there are three players and by the way, this is not meant to disrespect anyone. These are all great players who had great careers. To be even nominated on the ballot is great, but there are three players who didn't receive one vote at all from voters. All right, I got two of them already. And so at the end of the update I want to see if you guys can match who didn't what three players didn't receive any votes. The players that received the most votes, that was Ichiro Suzuki, almost a unanimous pick, falling one vote shy of being the second player unanimously selected to the hall of Fame. He was on 99.7% of the valets getting 393 of the 394 votes needed for induction into the hall of Fame. He's the lead name of the class of 25, but not the only name. CC Sabathia gets in in his first year while it took 10 tries. But Billy Wagner is in. He got past the 75% threshold. Carlos Beltran fel. He received 70.3% of the vote. You need 75% to get in. Andrew Jones 66.2%. He is not a Hall of Famer this year. SNY reports the jets have begun to inform candidates they are no longer in the running for positions with the team as it's believed that Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn will be the team's new head coach and commander's assistant. GM Lance Newmark becoming the team's new general manager. Vikings and ed coach Kevin O'Connell agreed to a multi year extension. Oconnells old deal expired at the end of 2025. Patriots are hiring McDaniels to be their offensive coordinator under Mike Vrabel. And Cowboys offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, according to the NFL Network, is interviewing for the head coaching position with the team. All right, you guys got your three names. By the way, did Rex Ryan have anything to say about the jets finalizing their coaching? He's got his foot in his mouth. I like it. All right, okay. So I think yeah, he's got his wife's foot in his mouth. I would have to say two Definites that didn't get any votes is a Rod and Ramirez for steroid involvement. Nope. I disagree with that. Rich is correct. Okay, my first, I have like, who I narrowed it down to five and then I'll pick again. Let me give you my five and tell me if I quote, we'll play a little game. I got Carlos Gonzalez, Ian Kinsler, Russell Martin, Fernando Rodney and Bed Zobrist. Two of those are correct. Wow. But you said three didn't, right? Yes. Three in Kinsler say yeah. Kinsler then. So you're going Kinsler. I thought maybe people were going back on their steroids. Kinsler and Ben Zobrist. Zobrist is one of them. Okay. Fernando Rodney is another. Okay. Hanley Ramirez did not receive a vote. Wow. Okay. Yeah. Surprising cargo got two votes. Ian Kinsler got 10. Well, okay, maybe I'm downplaying Ian Kinsley. And for Cavino's point, Alex Rodriguez received 146 votes, 37.7, 37.1%. Manny Ramirez got 34.3. Andy Pettit 27.9% of the vote. All right, can you give me one more? I'm sorry, I know if you did it during the update, my dude, David Wright. David Wright got 8% of the vote, got 32 votes. Injuries buried that guy. That sucks. Really? Good guy. Good guy. All right, hey listen, we got more. Kavino and Rich. And speaking of baseball, what would you do if you're an 11 year old kid and you pull a card out of a pack that could change your family's future? We got a fun story. We'll break it down next right here on Covino and Rich.

And you know, a couple of those guys were close but no cigar. We shall see what happens next year. But yeah, so, so if you get no votes, that's sort of like, oh man, don't even put me on the ballot then, right? It's a little embarrassing, but still an honor to be there. Of course, you know, now there's a story in the world of baseball. Less about baseball, more about people that collect cards. Do you remember the story about Paul Skeens and how there was a baseball card one of one that's out there somewhere? Well, Topps created this MLB debut rookie debut patch that went on all the jerseys of new players in their debut. So it was a one on one Paul Skeens card. Paul Skeens being one of the biggest names in the league. But the Pirates, the real key to the story is the Pirates said whoever gets this card, who, One Eye Willie, we're going to. No, the actual Pittsburgh Pirates. They're like, we're gonna roll out the Pirate red carpet for you. If you get this card, you get season tickets. We're gonna treat you like season tickets for 30 years. 30 years, man. Although let's, let's take it back because they want it for their own little, you know, stadium, stadium display. Also they'll give you a softball game exclusive for 30 at PNC park, plus coaching from the Pirates alumni. And I get why they want it. Paul Skeens, big player. You're trying to create a legacy here. It's fun for the fans to see your own little piece of the history that in your mind you think is really yours, Right? Well, but guess what? Some 11 year old nose picker got it. Topps reported Tuesday morning, this morning that an 11 year old from Los Angeles, by the way, that's the key to the story, I think pulled a one of one. Let's remind ourselves. One of one. There's not like, oh, there's so many rookies. This is a one of one skiing rookie card. Now auction houses have been desperately trying to figure out is this kid going to want to sell it so just to make it clear though, the card has the actual patch that they wear on the card and it's autographed. So these are highly coveted cards. Now put that with this Paul Skeen's name. It's worth even more plus the value that the Pirates have created around it. And then even his girlfriend's like, you could come sit with me at a game and you gawk like a creepo. Yeah, it's an 11 year old boy. Duns involved. There's so many questions I have, but I think the one question we'll try to sneak in, we have a minute. If you're this kid's parents, is it really your card or are you gonna be like, hey kid, you pulled it. Put away some for college. But if you want to buy, you know, a PS5 and buy a new bike, like is this kid gonna reap the or is this like a family prize? Give me a break. That's like if your grandma buys you some scratch offs and you win. What, you got to split it with Grandma? No, she bought it with the intent of if you win the money, you get it. There's a difference of grandma buying your $5 scratcher versus this kid has. This could be a million dollars. Good. If you're a good parent, you say, hey man, that's your money and you put it away for your kid and invest it. I think the interesting part is what are they going to do? Because you know, this kid wants no part of the Pirates. He's a Dodgers fan. So, you know, maybe we break this down more tomorrow. Cavino and Rich, we'll see you then. Until then, arrivederche, baby. See you in the promised land. Goodbye. Lately on the NPR Politics podcast, we're talking about a big question. How much can one guy change? They want change. What will change look like for energy?
