Now, please pay attention to what I'm about to say. By the way, 25 years old, we can only gather that his parents. Huge Denzel fans. I mean, it's possible. I don't know any other Denzel's. You. I mean, Denzel Washington, the best actor ever. He's so damn cool. He's so darn clever. Love me some Denzel. So do his parents, I imagine. You're right, Rich. I feel like a lot of times now when you see a young athlete with a name of someone that was popular 20 years ago, you connect the dots. That's alpaca. That's $25,000 alpaca, I think it's safe to say. I agree. So was that a top five home run robbery of all time? Of our lifetime. And I'm going with all time. He's Canadian, by the way. Or, oh, Denzel A. Sorry. Or are we just prisoner of the moment because it's fresh in our minds? We just saw it. We all watched in amazement. It lives forever on social media. You saw it a million times. You saw it in slow motion. You saw it from the bullpen camera. You saw every possible angle. So again, is it a top five home run robbery of our lifetime or just prisoner of the moment? And I'm going to tell you, I really, honestly believe, and I have a reason why it really was a top five. Because not only did he snag a ball, a home run that was like five or six feet, as they described it, over the fence, but he landed it with such gracefulness. He made a little spin. Even the Russian judge gave him a 10.0. Yeah, like he did that, like the glove swoop around the fence, spun around, landed it, growled, spit. Crowd again. Everyone's here, like what? All the facial reactions, like, everything about it was so cool, man. So I Have to say top five easily. And hey, if you don't believe me, guys like Tori Hunter were posting about it. Tori Hunter actually tweeted, this has to be one of the best catches I've ever seen. And I've seen my share of home run robberies. The Spider man himself who's climbed many walls to snag some home runs. Just everything about this one I think felt like, wow, that was a magical catch. Now the moment really didn't matter that much. It wasn't like, you know, magical ninth inning game saving. You know what I mean? But the question is, in most impactful important catch, it's what's the greatest robbery of all time? And I'll tell you this, if you just say catch Rich. Yeah, that's debatable. We'll be here forever. When it comes to home run robberies, when you think of the loftons, you have to go out of the world, you have to go out of this country and, and into Asia somewhere to like compete with this catch. Like there's some dude that climbs the wall. You ever see that one? He has one foot like on the top of the wall. They sure that's real? Yeah, that's real. There's a dude from the Japanese league that climbs the wall and has one foot on the top of the wall, leaning into the stands and snags 1. All right. Almost as cool as the guy that runs through the wall. There's nothing. I saw one guy whose head falls over the fence, you remember that? He hits into the wall and his head falls over the wall. I saw a tiger run on the field once. That was remarkable. I remember that. And actually it was the same game. Sports car by shortstop. I think that was the same. It was, it was that naked gun. I don't think, I think it'll be. I think we're thinking maybe, but I'm going one of the greatest home run robberies ever, dude. And that just adds to what everybody's already saying anyway, that baseball's popping in the rate and the ratings prove it. Yeah, listen, I, I love to disagree with you because that's sort of. I get joy. Isn't it nice when we agree. I get Joy disagreeing with you, but disagree when we talk jazz chisholm. Nothing bothers me more than we talk a lot about prisoner of the moment. Nothing bothers me more than because it's now it doesn't get any credit. The social media feedback of like, yeah, well, what about Willie Mays or Jim Edmonds or this? How about you appreciate One of the dopest catches. Yeah, but what about. Forget about what about what abouts. I think this was by far, I'm going to say right now, the number one home run robbery of all time. You show me a play that's better than that. I'm trying to be modest and say top five, easy. You know why you might be number one. You're doing that because you don't want to be prisoner of the moment. There's Lofton's, there's Griffeys, there's Hunters, there's other ones. There's again, there's international ones. There's guys that have taken a step, maybe prop themselves against the wall, jumped up, listen, impactful, higher stakes. There's been ones with higher stakes. My dude, Andy Chavez on the Mets. Right. That was the moment. Was big playoff game. Pulls the ball back in. That was a snow cone. Big moment, playoff. I get it. But as far as athletic ability, this guy sized it up, saw where the wall was, timing. You're right. Timed it, climbed the wall, jumped, leaned over, spun around, landed, flexed and spit. Don't forget about that Gary Matthews, Rob. Look that one up. If you forget, it's very similar. Now as far as great catches at almost robbed the home run. I always think of the Chicago White Sox outfielder, Dwayne Wise. Remember in the ninth inning he made that ridiculous catch for Yankee. Yeah. I believe he saved the perfect game of Mark Burley. Yeah. Again. Which honestly has to be up there too, because of the moment itself. Right. There was a higher stake moment. Yeah. That Gary Matthews Jr. Catch. I do remember that. People do call that one of the greatest home run robberies of all time. With the Rangers. Yeah. I mean, he was just not. Good one, Danny. I forgot about that one. Yeah. Again, another guy known for that. But if you get anything out of this, this Denzel Clark dude is a name you should look out for when it comes to these highlights. What he did, not everybody could do. Why are we so scared to put it in the top three? Like we're going to be punished for. Oh, God, like we're forgetting someone. Because I don't want to BE Gary Matthews Jr. I know the one you speak of. He was a robbery artist. This guy was a, you know, contortionist on that play. He would make miraculous catches. Of course. Jim Edmonds, best known for laying out, not. Not so much a home run robber as much as a guy just extended like you thought. No way. It's out of reach. I think that's what it is, Rich. You'd have to compile all of them and people forget some of them. So obviously the newer ones are in our mind right now. I saw a banana, a Savannah Bananas clip where the guy flipped and caught it at the same time. By the way, does that count or no? I don't want to change subjects and I won't. But I will. But I won't. But I will. I watched the Savannah Bananas over the weekend and I think it's so much fun. And what they're doing is amazing for baseball and sports and Entertainment. Selling out 70 plus thousand people. It really is entertaining. But the umpire flips on every out. Like, hey man, gotta be in shape. We're talking about every out, every pitch or so. They're, they're doing something. Their attention span is that of a. Yeah, you're trying to cater to a generation. Kids that need that constant stimulation. So it's next level entertainment. So again, if you haven't seen the clip, then I guess you didn't check social media at all in the past 24 hours. But we urge you to check it out and decide for yourself. We here on the Covino and Rich show say if it's not the greatest home run robbery of all time, it's definitely top five. And if you missed it, take a listen to how it went down again. The Angels and the Oakland, I'm sorry, the A's. Now the one off Fish to Nolan Shonovo, left handed hitter, five ball, left center. Denzel going back, nearing the track, at the track, right to the wall. Leaping, climbing wall. Did he catch it? He did. You can't believe what this kid is doing in center field. Yeah, he got himself suspended on top of the wall and brought it back for out number two. Yo, he jumped so high. Every day is a highlight show. His ass was on the top of the wall. And then he swoops his glove around and spins around again so gracefully. It was done so perfectly. When you see it in slow motion, it really is like, wow. He. I don't know how he did that. And that's why a young man, 25 years old, this is his first season in the bigs. And we talked about this, we said, what do you think it would be like to get called up and you're on the A's with no real home. Well, that's what Denzel's living and he's making the best of it, this game. What a way to make a name for yourself, though. He played for the Stockton Ports and he played right here near us for Cal State, Northridge. All right, put this in perspective. He's playing with big leaguers, right? Hit the pitcher's face. They just showed everybody, everybody what, what, what? When you see your peers and they're in shock and they're professional baseball players and they're like, that was like a banana type catch in the bigs. How did that happen? Those are the things you try to do in a wiffle ball game. And you never get that opportunity because it takes so many factors for that to happen. The ball has to be in a perfect placement, perfect jump, perfect snag. He catches it over the wall all the way up. And they're in disbelief. And you as the viewer, same thing. So if you missed it, watch it. And your thoughts at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, 877-99-FOX. We're putting it top five. There's so many layers as to why this catch is remarkable. The timing, the ups he had, the I hand, the landing, everything about have your friend soft toss you balls over a fence so to try to reenact it. And it would take you a thousand times to try to complete something close. If you played any level of baseball, what happens when you're an outfielder and you're getting close to the wall? Your teammates are screaming like, yo, you got room. Or like, you're close, you're close. Like there's that fear of you don't want to run. Yeah. And it's on a split second. I mean, like you said, remember that highlight of the guy that ran against wall and his head fell off? Oh, that was Naked Gun. I'm sorry, that was Naked Gun. But we confirmed. Yeah, you don't want to get injured. So this guy's timing it. He has the wherewithals to where he is on the warning track and everything about it. I hate the fact that there's a sense of wanting to downplay like, oh, there's been better. How about we just give this Dude Denzel Clark, 25 year old young man, give his flowers. As they say, give this dude flowers. I'm giving the whole bouquet, man. The end. I'm sending him an edible arrangement and some flowers of cantaloupe shaped like flowers. I'm sending him a balloon with it for an extra five bucks that says congrats. I think it was cool as hell. It was. I want to bring up one thing real quick and I'm tying into sports because I want to know your distraction level. And by the way, welcome back, Iowa Samuel. How are you, buddy? I'm good. I'm great. Sam, how good to see you. Good to see you guys. I would say you're. I hate to say this to you, give you too much props, but you're like my security blanket. When I see you, I feel like the show's whole. So good. How wonderful to see you, Samuel. Damn buyer. You're like his favorite blankie. Danny G. The whole crew's here today. I love it. I gotta ask. Last night, our video guy, Spotty, him and I met an old friend out for dinner. Not that old. Not even 40. Yeah, he's like 30 something. When I say old, we've known him a long time. Our buddy Mark. People think you're hanging out with Ebenezer. Please say long time friend. Long time friend. We went out to a sassy LA restaurant, a place that I was down for because I wasn't paying. A place called Craig's. If I knew he flipping the bill, I would have made it saucy and sassy. Craig's is one of those, like, celebrity type hangouts. Zesty. And the whole time on the way there. Please stop. Iowa sound people were saying, like, oh, that's where TMZ is. Usually outside. Because, you know, pop stars and people go there. So I'm there with our buddy Spot and our pal Mark. And when I tell you, I su. Not five feet away from me. We are seated yesterday next to Angelina Jolie. And it was mildly distracting the whole meal. When mildly distracting, how do you not notice that? So five feet away from you the whole meal, you're having your appetizer, sipping your cocktail, and you're like Angelina Jolie. And I every so often are making eye contact because our tables are next to each other and we're facing each other. You think she's looking at you? She was giving me a break. You hear this? What a subtle brag. That never happened. You think she's listening to the conversation and judging you and how cool you are? You mean? Rich was gawking at her the entire time. So she's like, why is this guy looking at me? And every so often, she looked back at me. She locked eyes with. We were making eye contact, and then she locked eyes with security. I'm sure she saw you because you're in her field of view, but I don't think you were locking eyes. But I was in her field of view. Hence we were giving each other their eyes. Wow. She was thinking Brad who? Precisely on the 20. More like Billy Bob. Who on the 20 year anniversary of Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Billy Bob. Get out of here. So I want to tie it to sports because I know we got a lot of big sports fans. It's Fox Sports Radio or music acting. Can you have a reasonably non distracted dinner? If a celebrity, an A list athlete, a rock star, a Lady Gaga or Taylor Swift. This is Angelina Jolie. Now, Spot, I. Absolutely not. Because it could be a character actor. And you're just fixated the whole time trying to think about how you know that person or just someone you met along the way. You're like, how do I know that? So you can't even concentrate on a non celebrity because you're just, you're, you're racking your brain trying to figure out who that is and why you know them. So the answer is no. We had a great dinner spot and great company, but would you agree 25% of the conversation at least had to do with like, yo, Angelina Jolie's next to us. It was an exercise in focus. Yeah. Really was. Really was. I can't even taste the food. I can't even enjoy the food because I'm next to Angelina Jolie. What is she eating? But what is she? So, Danny G, let's say you and Brenda go out for your anniversary. It's our anniversary. It's a beautiful night for you and your beautiful wife. Would it be more distracting than fun if, let's say LeBron and his wife were sitting at the table next to you? Did that make the night fun? Or is it like, we can't even enjoy our anniversary? Cause we're both just peeking over at LeBron the whole time. It's definitely distracting. We were at lunch one time and Christina Milian was at the table next to us. Dip it low, bro. And it was just awkward the whole time because you, you, you by nature, you want to see what they order. You're watching other people interact with them and come up to them trying to get autographs or talk to them. So, yeah, it just takes over everything that's happened. You know what it reminds me of? The famous story of Charlie Murphy when he's partying with Rick James and he walks into and he's like, yeah, man. And O.J. simpson was there. And his head, his head was so big, Man I saw was his big head. I mean, it happens once in a while. I mean, Spot, you and I happen to be in Vegas one time at, I believe, Rao's, the Italian restaurant. Yeah. And we sat next to Darius Rucker, Hoodie and the Blowfish. Vince Gill and Vince Gill were eating together. And the Whole time, Spot and I were like, yeah, we're enjoying our dinner. But how do you not every couple minutes peek over like, hey, I wonder what Hootie's doing. Couldn't focus on my meatballs. Look at him taking a bite. I mean, damn. By would you be able to focus? Well, I'll tell you what. It's hard. I don't want to be the Topper guy, but there's nothing like taking your mom to a nice steakhouse when she comes out to Southern California and have the mom from Family Ties, Meredith Baxter, two tables over. Try that one. I mean, dude, I think she had dropped the Bernie by then. Right? Of course. Changes in her life, but still. Like, you want to talk about high bars? Welcome to Hollywood, Mom. That's Alex P. King Keaton's mom. Two tables down. Your mom was your second favorite mom at that meal. Yes. There was no Nick showing up, either. Wow. The Buyer family. The 80s memories flowed back in all the Family Ties nights. What a night, by the way. That is funny. Your mom probably is like, this is how Dan lives. This is my life now, Mom. I'm sorry. This is my life now. It was Elise Keaton, right? Yeah. Yes. Steve and Elise Keaton, man. Wow, that's. That's pretty. Yeah. Way to one up the conversation, DB Yeah. I don't mean to end it, you know. Good luck topping it, everybody. Seriously, good luck. But I'm sorry. I just had to do it. No, look, it's a very LA story, Rich, but I think it doesn't even have to be a celebrity. It's someone that you're like, I recognize that person, and it's bothering me. And you keep looking back and like, do you know that person? Why do I know that person? It's just that feeling. And you can't concentrate on anything else in that moment, especially when it's Elise Keaton or Angelina Jolie. Iowa. Sam, don't do it. I was. Sam said he wanted to top you, Dan. He once went out with his mom for ice cream and bumped into Joanna Kearns. No, I didn't want to be the Topper, Maggie. I didn't want to be the Topper. No way. Thank you, Rich. Wow, man. Maggie Malone. Sorry, Dan. Jealous. But I think I was going to say he sat next to Ma' am from Webster. Yeah. Yeah. I only know her as Ma' am, though. George Papadopoulos. I know her as Mrs. Papadopoulos. Ma' am Papadopoulos. So just. Just a dumb thought that. Listen, it's always fun banter for the table. And a memory that, you know, you end up telling these stories. Right. But if you really were on a special night, your daughter's graduation or a date night, an anniversary, it could be actually a little distracting where you're like, hey, we're trying to focus, but Michael Jordan's at the steakhouse. Rad. He's over there in the corner. It could almost be a negative. Yeah. Because it takes away from the reason you're really there, which is to catch up and. But it's a fun memory, and that really did happen. And again, we're out here in Los Angeles, but that's like. That's sort of a rarity. You'll see someone randomly famous every once in a while. But Angelina Jolie out and about on a Tuesday night. Let me kind of cool. Let me name drop. We were at the baseball all star game in Kansas City, which was what, maybe over a decade ago now? Hopefully we're going this year, I hope. Is that. Was it 2011? No. Well, long story short, too late. We're in the press area, and in comes George Brett with a plate of barbecue. And he's like, burn ends. Anyone want burn ends? I'm George Brett. He came in, like, the welcoming committee. I couldn't believe it. And it was like one of the coolest moments. But I can't lie and say the whole time I'm sitting in there, Covino and I were like, it's George Brett, yo. Should we go talk to him? It's George Brett. So crazy. He was handing out hors d' oeuvres and barbecue. I was like, hey, George Brett here. Hey, happy to have you here in Kansas City. Welcome to the All Star Game. I'm George Brett. I'm George Brett. Nice to meet you. Like, George Brett. So these are. These are real fun stories that I'm sure everyone shares that 2012. 2012. Wow. That was a long time ago. It really is mildly distracting in a funny way. But I just figured I'd throw it out there because if you're out to dinner on your anniversary and you're. You're having a little dinner, steak dinner in OKC and SGA's at the next table, that could be distracting. Very, very distracting. Hey, we got a lot to get to today on Cavino and Rich. Speaking of going out, Covino and Danny G. I don't know if we all agree or not on this. How do you like to be addressed by workers and staff at places? Do you get offended if they start calling you nicknames? There's A story Camino wants to share. We'll get to that. Live from the Circa in Vegas on the 20th. I think the thing that's going to kick this thing off in the most awesome way, you know that huge pool they have stadium swim at Circa. Yeah. We're doing our show live there. Squishy splashy on Friday the 20th. Can't wait. And it's going to be awesome. So we'll all be there. Iowa. Sam's going to be wearing his Borat one piece. And my banana hammock. And his banana hammock. It's going to be epic. And we want you to be there. So again, hit us up at Coveenon Ridge. You could RSVP Danny G's wearing an old school three stooges like ass flap bathing suit with stripes. Hello, my baby. Hello. The only part of my body that doesn't have tattoos. Yeah. So it's gonna be a lot of fun. RSVP again at Covino and Rich, our big birthday party extravaganza in Vegas two Fridays from now. Two Friday. Can you believe that? Next weekend. We'll see you there. And if you're not going to make it to the rooftop party or the pool party, you can always listen to hear to our show on Fox Sports radio. Right now we're live from the Fox Sports radio studio. Are you ready for a new job? Let Express employment pros help. While Express helps people in all industries find work, our sweet spot is logistics roles. And Express never charges job seekers a fee. Go to express pros.com now. Already having a lot of fun. We talked about possibly the greatest home run robbery of all time. So you got to give Denzel Clark his flowers. Give him his props. He deserves it. Whether it's the top one, top five. It's. It's in there. The guy is magical on center field. 25 years old, first year. What else are we going to see from this guy? That's what's exciting. It's only just be good. Right? We were talking about he also crashed into the wall and made that catch. Did you see that? Awesome. But they're showing all of his highlights now on all the different networks. So he's already a highlight reel one year in. So we are blessed to have this guy. So we also talked about is it distracting if you see an athlete or a celebrity or someone at a restaurant sitting next to you? And Burch, who you know, he runs his plays under big Mike main editor Birch. He was saying Junior. I've heard of him. He was at a Buca di beppo. And he's like, I was sitting next to exhibit. Really? I said, I flew on a plane right next to exhibit. I said, what is he, Pimp your pasta? So funny. Exhibit A. Exhibit yeah. Pimp my plate. The joke, Sam, was he was exhibit an A. Right? Isn't that what row L. Yes. The only row he could be in. That's very. That's bad. Exhibit an A. There you go. Exhibit an A. Lot to get to today. I know it's not the biggest day in the world of sports, but that doesn't matter for us because we could talk about anything. And that leads me to pimp my platter. Pimp my platter. That leads me to whether or not you get frustrated when random people at stores call you nicknames. Well, speaking of flights. Yeah. The story of me and exhibit. True story. And actually showed him pictures when he was on our show. I'm like, hey, man, what's up? Interviewed you a few times. He's like, yo, nice guy, Nice fella. That was a while back, before he passed away, we all flew on a plane with O.J. simpson. Remember that? That was so weird. His big head was in the front of the plane. We're like, oh, my God, O.J. true story. But just the other day, I was flying back from New York, from Newark Airport to Los Angeles. And it's so interesting, too, because I hate being this guy. And I try hard to not be this guy, but I was that guy. Sometimes when you try too hard, Rich, that's when you are at your worst. Speaking of jazz Chisholm, someone asked him recently, hey, man, what's the secret to your success? You're playing better now than you were playing before you got hurt. And he goes, because I'm playing at 70%. They're like, what does that mean? He goes, because when I'm playing at 100%, I'm trying too hard. But at 70%, I'm just right. So sometimes my 70% is my hundred percent. And it makes sense because when you try too hard, that's when you mess up. Yeah. You go live relationships, everything. So I try hard to not be this guy. And I was by default, I had seat 37 or whatever, right. And I sat in the wrong seat. I sat in 38. You sat in the wrong row? Yeah, I sat in the wrong. You're the guy. When the flight attendant. I always see people when the flight attendant has to say, can I see your boarding pass? You're the asscon that had the wrong row. Dude, I Already sat down, made myself at home. I squeegeed my area real nice, disinfected everything, pulled out my headphones. I was sitting there with my blanket on my lap, all ready for takeoff like a good boy, all nice and comfy, headphones on, ready to watch a stupid movie. And some vato comes up to me. He's like, yo. And I'm like, I'm not catching on. Say I got my headphones in, like, yo. And then I pull my headphone out. Hey, what's up, vato? And he goes, yo, Big Dog. Now immediately I'm mad. Immediately I'm mad. Yo, Big Dog. Yo, big Dog. I'm like, big Dog, what is this? I'm like, I feel like I'm your elder bro a little bit. Or I'm your e. I'm either your equal or your elder. Like, we call me Big Dog. I don't know how I feel about this. Yo, Big Dog. And I said, honestly. I pulled out my headphone again. I'm like, what you, Big Dog, you're in my seat, man. I'm like, I'm in your seat. No, I'm not. I was so confident too. I was like, you want to bet? And I. He's like, let me see your ticket. I'm like, yo, who is this? This guy, like, run the plane, call me Big Dog. Tell me to get up. I pull out my other headphone. I'm like, now I'm reaching into my pocket and I look and I am in a seat. Oh. It's the most humiliating feeling ever because I was so confident that I wasn't. Because I don't want to be that guy. So it really bothered me that he was so adamant about I'm in his seat. And then it really, really bothered me that he called me Big Dog. Because then it's all this, like, big Dog. What does that mean? It mean I'm fat. Does he think I'm his boy? Like, was that a condescending sort of thing? I don't like that feeling that he gave me. And I almost wanted to, like, throw hands for a second. For a second. These nicknames. Was it. Was it a. Was it a compliment? I don't know. Did they rub you wrong? Yeah, I didn't think so. He thought you thought you on the plane could sit wherever you wanted to. Yeah. Including in his seat. And he was not going to have it. And he was with his boy, too. Yo, big Dog. Yes, in my seat. This is exactly like when you're in a drive thru and you ask for ketchup or something. And the worker gets it for you, and he's like, here you go, boss. It's condescending. Not. It's. It's not a cool nickname. It's like, yeah, you. You're bossing me around, and I'm making minimum wage, even though that's good right now in California. I don't like that one either. And I think the term of would have been my guy. My guy. My guy would have been okay, because it's like, yo, my bro, you're in my seat. When you say my something, it's endearing, I think, yeah, my guy, I'm cool with. And that's the current day, yo. Like, oh, my dude. My dude. When I never been called big dog before in my life, I was like, what does that mean, Big dog? I never had Glenn Robinson, so I didn't know how to feel, man. So I got up all humiliated, tail between the legs, because I'm a big dog, and I'm, like, defeated in the moment, and I'm like, what is that? And then I sat there for a good, like, 15 minutes. I let it simmer like, big Dog, what does that mean? You were processing everything. Yeah, I wanted to turn around over and over again. No, vato. What you mean by that, Big dog? This is like, when Luca got called Fat Danny. That dude was in my walls for at least a half hour of the flight. It's funny because there's so many of these quote, nicknames. Boss doesn't rub me the wrong way. I was just thinking. I was at Chipotle the other day. I don't like boss either. And the guy starts me out. He's all in, like, a positive, happy mood. He was just some young, like, college kid. He's like, hey, boss, you want a brown or white rice? I'm like, brown rice. All right, boss. What protein? What meat? I'm like, he said boss twice every step on the. On the process of Chipotle. Hey, do you want salsa, boss? A boss. He pulled, like, seven bosses. I don't like it. It's so disrespectful. Rich. DB have you ever been hit with a Mr. Yet by some? Like, I would take Mr. Honored Times over, boss. I don't mind it, but I look over my shoulder, I'm like, wait, I'm in Mr. Territory nowadays. Yeah. Like, man, you killed that Mr. Mr. Lady. I just feel like I'm not old enough for that. But I guess, sir, that's fine with me. You hit me with a boss, and I'm ready to fight. I know. At least Mr. Sounds respectful. It just catches me off guard. So when you hear someone call you Chief or Big Dog or Chief is another one. Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelsey. Don't call me Chief. Yeah, that's another one, man. I don't like that either. Also, as well, Tiger, there's a scene from. There's a scene from Men in Black where. Where Will Smith gets upset because Tommy Lee Jones keeps calling him Tiger and Chief and boss. And so they just keep going back forth, you see, because there's something behind it. And Danny G's right is condescending. It's not from a respectful place. I don't like it. Your thoughts. What are some other ones that really rub you the wrong way? And am I making too much of this? 877-99-FOX. Denny, where else did that happen to you recently? You said. Where was. I was checking in on the last trip Brenda and I took last year. And the guy kept calling me Chief. Yeah, like, bae, Put your bags up here, Chief. Just looking. I'm like, bro, I'm not. I'm not the boss of the airport. I'm not a chief of anything. You know? And that. That's the thing. Especially when you're at a restaurant or something like that and somebody is referring to you as boss. Yo, I'm just trying to make it through the week. Like you trying to get this special up here on your menu. I'm not your boss. Yeah, it's weird, man. It's also this, like. I think it's a psychological game of. It's usually a younger person to an older person. The younger person actually thinks they know more, but they're going to try to make the older person think that they're special. So. Hey, boss. But really in their mind, they're like, I'm running this ish. That's what they're thinking in their mind when they're saying that there's a funny in DB I think you hit the nail on the head with that one. Your thoughts at 87799 on Fox. There's a funny viral. I mean, semi viral clip of a guy. He's called big guy, but he is a. He's a big guy. And they're like, all right, big guy. And then the whole thing in his head, he's like, am I fat? Like, big guy? What does he mean? Does he just mean I'm a big fat guy? Why would he call me that? Hey, it's a good question. You know what we're gonna take all your phone calls. In fact, these are the type of things that light them up. Apparently all the phones are lit. We'll go through this next. Let's go to Dan Byer. Hey, DB for an update. What's going on, DB what's going on, Chief Guy? Oh, gosh. Seriously, what's going on, pal? Back to you guys. I'm so mad. No. Kirk Cousins was mad for a while. Not mad anymore. He is at Falcons mandatory minicamp. Wanted to be traded this off season because he's the backup to Michael Penix Jr today he swallowed his pride and showed up as the number two. Yeah, you know, I've always believed going back to my rookie year, what Mike Shanahan told me, which is tough times don't last. Tough people do. It's not just physically tough, you know, it's mentally tough, emotionally tough. You got to be resilient. Life's going to have some curve balls. You just have to keep moving. And I think the key is that you, you don't pout or stop. You just keep moving, keep working forward. Time for a sofa upgrade Introducing Anabe sofas where designer style meets budget friendly prices.

Hosted by me, writer and historian Dan Flores and brought to you by Velvet Buck. This podcast looks at a West available nowhere else. Each episode I'll be diving into some of the lesser known histories of the West. I'll then be joined in conversation by guests such as Western historian Dr. Randall Williams and best selling author and meat eater founder Stephen Rinella. I'll correct my kids now and then where they'll say, when cave people were here. And I'll say, it seems like the Ice Age people that were here didn't have a real affinity for capes. So join me starting Tuesday, May 6, where we'll delve into stories of the west and come to understand how it helps inform the ways in which we experience the region today. Listen to the American west with Dan Flores on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This Pride Month, we are not just celebrating, we're fighting back. I'm George M. Johnson, and my book All Boys Aren't Blue was just named the most banned book in America. If the culture wars have taught me anything, it's that pride is protest. And on my podcast, Fighting Words, we talk to people who use their voices to resist, disrupt, and make our community stronger. This year we are showing up and showing out. You need people being like, no, you're not going to tell us what to do. This regime is coming down on us and I don't want it to. I want to thrive. You'll hear from trailblazers like Bob the Drag Queen to freedom Angelica Ross. We ready to fight? I'm ready to fight. And Gabrielle Union. Hi, George. And storytellers with wisdom to spare. Listen on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I know a lot of cops and they get asked all the time, have you ever had to shoot your gun? Sometimes the answer is yes. But there's a company dedicated to a future where the answer will always be no. Across the country, cops call this Taser the Revolution. But not everyone was convinced it was that simple. Cops believed everything that Taser told them. From Lava for good and the team that brought you Bone Valley comes a story about what happened when a multi billion dollar company dedicated itself to one visionary mission. This is Absolute Season one, Taser Incorporated. I get right back there and it's bad. It's really, really, really bad.

The guy right here. Hello, everybody. There he is. Never heard of him before. We play Last one standing next hour. Never heard of him. Mike, what are your thoughts on when someone calls you? Because you said to us you don't care. Look, listen. But this guy called me Big Dog. That's enough. That's enough. You guys are a bunch of thin skinned, whiny. Why do you give a rats behind what somebody calls you who doesn't know you? You have no relationship. Like, what do you want him to call you, sir? Should we go back to the 1950s? It's a radio topic. Do you want all of us to tell Covino? Who cares? None of us care what anybody calls us, right? Imagine sitting there and now I'm looking up at some young punk with a wispy mustache calling me Big Dog. Hey, Big Dog, you're in my seat, man. I got a few. I got a few. I found what some would consider a list of the most annoying things you could call someone. Okay, sport. Okay. Oh, that's the weakest. I'm gonna call Mike Sporticus from now on. All right, Sporticus. Chief is obviously on the list. Tiger. I brought that up for Men in Black. You know, sport is so lame because it's so. It just sounds corny as hell. Bruh or bruv. Bruv. Yeah, British thing. Hey, brav. Hey, bruv. Pal or buddy? You know, I say that a lot. See, maybe Mike's out to something because I do say that a lot. And I don't mean it in a condescending way. A lot of it, honestly, it's regional and colloquial. Like, it's just. That's what People call somebody they don't know the name of and honestly, when people say boss or chief and you feel disrespected, I think honestly, they're trying to use that as, as a modern day honorific. More like sir. Yeah, they are. Definitely. That's what it is. Dude is on the most idiotic stuff I've heard. Mate. Mate. Mate. Mate is amazing, right? Australia comes up to you, says, good night, mate. There's an equal. There's an equal playing ground. There's friends. You want to feel like the equal place. That's all you want. That's all you want. Guys are insane. I don't feel like it's at equal playing ground. I feel like it's. He's being mean. Mikey. When he said, when he said boss. Boss man. He threw the ketchup at me. He was not honoring me. He's like, yeah, okay, it's another way to catch up on you. That's another. But look, look, look. I don't want anybody calling me a hole, but who cares? Like, these are just random words. Yeah, call me champ. I like that one. Champ's kid. Are you champ? I'm calling you chump. Chump. Yeah. I remember my dad. Someone called my dad OG One time. He didn't know what that meant. Like, all right, og. Is he saying I'm an old guy? OG stand for old guy. Like, nah, man. Your original gangster. You know when someone comes at you with this weird sort of name, nickname, how do you feel about it? It depends, because I get, I get offended a little bit. Not where I'm going to fight somebody or cry about it. But it rubs me the wrong way sometimes because as Dan Beyer nailed it before, you want to be addressed in an equal sort of playing field. Like, hey, bro, what's going on, buddy? If whatever it is, you feel comfortable dressing somebody, that's how you want to be addressed. Yeah, I think Big dog, big guy, Danny G. We were talking off the air. You remembered one of your big guy stories, right? Oh, Covino was there. We were at the lobby of our super bowl hotel and we were by the bar and this waiter was walking by with a tray. And he looked right at me and he's like, excuse me, big guy. But I remember Covino laughing because the way he said it, he put a lot of emphasis on the big guy. And I'm like, geez, was I in his entire path? Did I gain some weight? No one told me. But then again, I said I wasn't necessarily offended when the Chipotle Guy the other day must have said boss 10 times everything. Brown or white rice, boss? Oh, brown rice. I don't like that. What type of protein there, boss? Put some respect on my name and all. Thinking the whole time is, does he realize that every customer, this guy must drop a thousand bosses a day? Yeah. Again, when I say offended, I don't mean, like the way people are offended all the time in today's world. I'm just saying rubs the sphincter in a bit. In a weird way. I'm like, huh, I don't know. I don't know if I like that. Mike, in Alaska, we'll take a couple quickies and we'll get to some. We'll get back to some baseball. What's up, Mike? Yeah. So you get into a restaurant, really energetic, you know, kind of wait or whatever, and he looks right at you and goes, well, hey, my friend. And then when they're all done, the orders come out and everything like that. They give you, you. You the man. You the man. I hear that. You the man, my friend. That's kind, my friend. A lot of foreigners use that. Hello, my friend. Hello, my friend. That's true. And I'm okay with that sometimes. But again, I guess everyone has their pet peeve when Jim Nance calls you friends. Hello, friends. Mark in Syracuse. What's up, Mark? Hey, what's up, my dudes? My dude. What's up, man? Yeah, I'm cool with that. My dudes I'm cool with, too. I'm cool with it. I got two observations, but as I was hot and cold, I ran into the convenience store, and the guy called me boss and sir during the same transaction. So, anyway, first one is, as I was telling Danny, I've been told that that's. Those terms are another way to say hey, hole. And the other observation is, I don't know if you've seen bad Santa, but remember what the little kids asking him what the elves names were? He's like, I don't know. I call him bub or chief or whatever, you know. Yeah, it's like. It's like a. Whatever, bub. Way to address. Hey, Bubba. Yeah, they're replacement words. Trip in Vegas, who we're going to see next Friday. I know he'll be there. What's up, Trip? What's up, gentlemen? It's. I want to know one. Who is this Big Mike guy? I don't even know who that is. He runs a place. You might see him in Vegas. In fact, you will. But I just had an experience When I was back a couple of weeks ago to see my parents in South Carolina on a plane. So I'm. Because I'm in. I don't sit in row 37. Sorry, Covina. Yeah, no, I'm in ultra comfort right behind first class. And the guy says to me, I'm actually at the right seat. And he goes, hey, big guy. And I'm duck down, I have my ear pods in, I can't hear. And I'm like, I'm with my wife. I'm like, yeah, but you're in my seat. And then the flight attendant stepped in and said, hey, we'll fix this. But I didn't say, hey, little guy. That's where I get mad. Can you say little guy or a big guy? That's even more. Hey, listen, no offense to the. Thank you. Triple C size and assessment out of this place. No offense to the short kings, as they call them out there. But if you bump into a Jose Altuve looking guy, can you be like, hey, little guy. Napoleon? Yeah, yeah. What's up, small fella? And by the way, yeah, I don't like. Big dog is weird. Big unit I'm okay with. Stop. What? Randy Johnson fan? Yeah, yeah, sure. So let's talk about this mic'd up deal they got going on Major League Baseball. I got to explain. I'm not just saying this now because it's the Yankees. I've always said this. I find it to be, like, very demanding of these professional athletes. It's very. I don't know if that's the word. Low expectations. Noah Kavin always says, anytime there's a news story that breaks in a small town, Camino's first observation is like, well, I can't believe the composure of, like, the local police chief got on the microphone. It's like, that's what you do. People step up. Yeah, but like, there's a lot of professional pressure already on these athletes to deliver. High stakes. Every game's a big deal. What's the pressure? Such a big deal. We come back every day analyzing everything, and you want this professional baseball player to be locked in. In the zone and then answer stupid questions from idiot broadcasters in the booth. That's a lot on national tv. Beat it. If I was the manager, coach that team, I'd be like, no, interview someone else. My guy needs to concentrate and focus on the game. And I've always felt that way. And, dude, I was hanging with my brother. Sorry. Hold on. Kavino Popovich over here will be. Can I. It's. This is Fun for the fans. It's not just fun. That's why we talk about it all the time. Yes, sports is fun, but don't act like there's not an immense amount of pressure to deliver. Don't act like that's not true, because it is. Yeah, it's a game and it's a kids game, but at the highest of levels, with millions people watching, such a crazy crybaby. B. Whatever, big hoss. Yeah, listen, post game, pregame halftime, in between quarters in the NBA coach interviews, it's the least you could do. You're trying to get some insight. Not playing, you're trying to get insight. Fans want to be more involved. That's how the game is evolving and growing. I think this is to pull in the casual fan that likes this. I see the benefits. Not that I don't see the benefit of when a player is miked up, but if you care about that team, you care about that player. It's like, yo, take the pressure off this guy. Let him concentrate on the, I don't know, the exit velocity of 110 mile per hour rocket coming at his face. You're telling me because Jazz Chisholm no was talking about today. You won't let me tell you. I told you, I was hanging out. My brother and me and him were sitting there. I'm like, I hate when they do this. And my brother's like, yeah, I hate it too, bro. And I'm like, cool, we confirmed that this is weak. Let them play the game. Why do we got to have these guys mic'd up in the middle of a good rivalry here? And a game that matters, Every game matters. If it didn't, we wouldn't be talking about it all the time. And he's like, yo, one of these days there's gonna be a costly error, and they're gonna be like, yo, we can't do this anymore, man. I'm just waiting for the day it happens. Sure enough, Jazz Chisholm is miked up at third base, a position that he's not necessarily that comfortable with. It's not his position. He's just there because lemayhue's at second. And here's what happens. So the first question comes from a fan. What are your thoughts on what Hunter Dobbins said earlier about retiring rather than being in pinstripes? I think we're looking at one second. Damn it. Damn it. Spin D. Spin throw is right. Difficult play. Difficult. We all get it. Yeah. His thoughts on Hunter Dobbins were really important in that Moment on the throat. Yeah. Good. I mean, for me. I mean, I love competitiveness. Give me a break. Poor guy gets a rocket hit at him. He has to do a spin. Spin a roo and then throw. And damn it, it goes. Do you think he would have made that play if he wasn't miked up? He might have, yeah. You know, you're not concentrating. It's almost even dangerous. He's there at third base. These guys are hitting rock. Yes. Because it's the big leagues. Let him concentrate. Guys are hitting monster shots into the outfield. You want this guy to be answering questions about his wife or about the clubhouse? Meanwhile, they're in the middle of an intense game with 55,000 people watching and millions at home. Like, that's a lot of added unnecessary pressure. I'd be like, yo, thanks, but no thanks. Guy in the booth and I'm a broadcaster. Beat it. There's a time and place. That's not it. I think this is for the most casual weenie fan that just needs. Needs that added extra. Like, you know, who says they like this? My girlfriend's like, I like when they do this. I'm like, I don't because I care about the team. You don't? No. Yes. Listen, this gives some personality and. Okay, then why don't they. Why don't they mic up pictures? Why don't they mic up when it, you know, in big moments? Because it's distracting. They mic up NFL players. They just don't have conversations with them. And you. That's some of the greatest footage we see every year. You could have it miked up, but when you're doing a full on interview in the middle of the game, that's downtime. There is in baseball, dude. And so what do you. Do you want. Why don't you call me FaceTime him in the middle. But it's too much. It's intrusive. It's like, yo, man, let the guy play your thoughts. 87799 on Fox. You know that that error could have changed the whole outcome of the game. Could have set a bad tone. Every game matters, and it's because some jabroni wants to know on Hunter Dobbins. Screw Hunter Dobbins, your favorite pizza toppings. Now go. You can't. You can call the broadcasters off. Remember how famously Rojas on the Dodger said, hang on a second, let me make this play. Yo, dude. But still, yeah, that's. That provided for a fun moment. But what if it didn't go that way? Right? Or what if it cost the game? What if something bad happens? What if, you know, what if, what if he had a line drive to the noggin or. Then it's okay, I'm not a fan of it. I never was. Never. I got to make it very clear it's not just because of Jazz Chisholm. It's just I think these are high pressure game of the week, nationally televised moments. You want to know what Jazz Chisholm had for breakfast? His team actually like, give me a break. What do you think Jazz Chisholm had for breakfast? I don't care. There's a time and place. How about Cocoa Crispies? How about after the game? How about before the game? You gotta have it when he's getting set there at the hot corner. No thanks. Don't pass on the interview. I mean, you're just mad because your dude made an error. No, I'm not. And that's why I said a million times, I've always felt this way. I always thought I was asking too much of the players. You want to mic up people while they play, that's fine. You want to do a full on interview with them in the middle of the game, beat it. You got nothing else to talk about. I thought one of the cooler moments. Find something to talk about in the booth. I thought one of the cooler moments of a national game recently was, I believe was Subway series met Yankees and they had Brandon Nimmo on the mic. They also did another one with Lindor and they talked to Lindor's wife. His wife surprised him with their newborn at the game. She was standing there with the newborn dude. Yeah, it was a nice moment. Very forced, but an unnecessary. It could have did that anytime. I think it's distracting. There's plenty of time in between innings before and after the game. You're expecting so much from these guys. They're trying to play a game and you can downplay it all you want. People got money on the game. There's high stakes at the game. People's jobs are on the line, you know what I mean? Like Jazz Chisholms at third because he's competing for a spot at second. And you got him making errors because you want to know how he feels about, I mean, his favorite TV show. We're gonna, we're gonna talk in circles. So I'd rather just move on. Because your head's up your ass on this one. Because you think, you think I'm the only guy. Because you think, are you, are you not taking the temperature of people out there, you're thinking, you think I'm the only guy that feels this way orally or what? How you taking these temperatures? 87799 on Fox. If you feel me at all, and you will when it's your goofy ass team that makes a costly error because some goofball in the booth wants to know what he had for dinner. We'll see what happens. Then Wes in Vegas hit us up and he goes, cavino, NASCAR drivers do interviews mid race. You're telling me a mic'd up baseball player who does nothing 90% of the time. Ready, get ready. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Well, you know who agrees with you? A guy that. Why don't you read all the comments that go against me? Go ahead, continue. Well, I'm going to read one for you, but now I won't. All right, I will. Our buddy comedian Michael Yo. Is like, Kavino's right, yo. That's what's up. Michael yo, yo, yo. See, I'm, I'm with Covino on this. I think that there's. I also think that there's a difference. So I think NASCAR usually does it in a caution situation. I don't think was there. Going down the back stretch at Daytona, they're checking in to see what's happening with Chase Elliott. I don't know. I don't remember that. But tnt, espn, I know TNT does the inside tracks thing where they will have someone miked and then they'll bring it back. That's different than doing an interview during a game and stuff like that. And sometimes the content that they have on the inside track stuff is worthless. There was a game and I can't remember, maybe Sam remembers, we talked about a month or two ago that somebody mic'd up, they got into a fight with somebody on the court, and then when they did their inside tracks, all it was was like, good job, man. Good job. Get back on D. Get back on D. They had no audio from the fight that occurred between that person or the argument and another person. So if you're trying to enhance the broadcast, you're doing it in that situation at the expense of actual wins and losses, which I think is wrong when you're usually trying to do it just to bring in more viewers. You know, when they do this or when they started doing this was usually special event, like an All Star Game or something like that. That was my first thought of like, man, I don't know how I feel about that, but at least it's like one special game. It's fun, it's for the fans. These are real games, dude. Real games that matter. They've expanded it to golf, but they'll do it between shots. Like when a player hits a tee shot, he'll have an earpiece in and he'll walk down the fairway and get questions more. More and more players are becoming warm to it, but not as you're lining up an eight foot putt, needing to save par. You're like let's go to Jim Nance. Yeah, I mean listen, I agree. You're not going to go to Edwin Diaz in a safe situation facing Bryce Harper and be like, like it's two. Two. Okay, so by the way, Edwin Diaz do you're more of a boob guy or butt guy? Like, I mean you're not going to be okay, so some guy at the hot corner taking the again exit velocities of 110mph plus that's the time to be talking to the guy. Give me a break. How about when it when the guy's roll roaming the outfield in an all star game. Okay, I get it. Football players just miked up. Yo, my man. What's going on? You ready for the game today? Yeah, that's all fun and good for B roll, but an interview during the game? Now you're like overstepping. Stop overstepping guys. How about you find something interesting to talk about?

So started with the prayer and ended with him singing the theme song. Which one? Are you ready for some football? I mean, that's Hank Williams Jr. I'm guessing that. Which is hilarious. A Monday night party. So it got us thinking based on that. I mean, first of all, what a colorful guy. So funny. His personality is great. But I got us thinking of the worst speeches of all time.
