Speaker 2: the morning, go to Dan Patrick.
Speaker 3: I don't have any bathroom time to unwind my schedules.
Speaker 3: A little off I'm saying is that there's two things
Speaker 3: that come to mind.
Speaker 2: What a friends in town? Yeah, I don't want to
Speaker 2: go out.
Speaker 3: If you don't make the time to see them, the
Speaker 3: argument could be made they're not your friend. It's true.
Speaker 3: I'm glad I went out. That's the feeling you have
Speaker 3: when you get older. It's like you don't want to,
Speaker 3: but then you're glad you did. Man, I don't want
Speaker 3: to go out random weeknight, but I'm glad I did.

Speaker 3: you really I just slobbed out for no reason. Rich
Speaker 3: and I had full on meal. What do you have
Speaker 3: for dinner? Hold on, you had cheesecake? Yeah, a full
Speaker 3: on slab. It wasn't even a slice, big giant slab
Speaker 3: of cheesecake. So of course I'm going to wake up

Speaker 3: you made me do that. I didn't want to do
Speaker 3: that last night.
Speaker 2: Anyway.

Speaker 3: with other people. Because you had like a chicken entree
Speaker 3: and a cheesecake. I cut it back so today again
Speaker 3: because my schedule's off, because this isn't our normal routine.

Speaker 3: that people are saying that about us?
Speaker 2: Again? Cadino and rich In for Dan Patrick.
Speaker 3: Now, lots of NFL today, Uh, there there's a there's
Speaker 3: a story about Floyd Mayweather Junior, a baseball hypothetic goal.
Speaker 2: Of course, some NFL, NBA.
Speaker 3: But I want to start out by talking about something
Speaker 3: people witness last night, not you eating cheesecake and having
Speaker 3: ottery gres about having dinner.
Speaker 2: It's not I regret, Like, why do you want to go?
Speaker 2: I don't wanna. I don't want to say it's because
Speaker 2: you get older. I'm in denial of that. That's not it.
Speaker 3: I just I like to chill on a Tuesday night.
Speaker 3: I don't want to go out. I'm not twenty years
Speaker 3: old anymore. I didn't want to do it. Then, that's
Speaker 3: my point. So I don't want to go out on
Speaker 3: a Tuesday night and eat like a slob for no reason.
Speaker 3: You said a slope and I did.
Speaker 2: I way.
Speaker 3: I want to drop it. But you had a chicken
Speaker 3: entree off the quote skinny menu. Yeah, but it was
Speaker 3: too much and I didn't need all that cheesecake. I
Speaker 3: didn't need a cocktail. I didn't need all that stuff
Speaker 3: on a Tuesday night, enjoyed life a little you not
Speaker 3: some slot, and you wake up at five am, you're like, uh,
Speaker 3: I should have sat home and ate a protein bar.
Speaker 3: Is that?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Should should have played it right and realized I had
Speaker 3: to work early in the morning and told your friend respectfully, Hey, dude,
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're in town, but I'm busy working.
Speaker 2: Have fun. That's kind of happen. But here's the thing.
Speaker 3: If if you go to a city or someone comes
Speaker 3: to your city and you don't even make time to
Speaker 3: get a quick dinner, it's a callicular work week for
Speaker 3: that person a drink. If you don't do one of
Speaker 3: those things, then when are you ever.
Speaker 2: Going to see them? And that goes for anyone.
Speaker 3: If if some old coworker or a pal, a college bro,
Speaker 3: if someone comes to town and says, hey, I'm in
Speaker 3: your city for a couple of days a weekend.
Speaker 2: Maybe I don't know. I don't know, but I did it.
Speaker 2: I'm glad I did. But again I'm sharing my uh well,
Speaker 2: the reason why he smells in here? How about that?
Speaker 2: There you go? Moving on? All right? Last night, Well,
Speaker 2: you were regrettably eating cheesecake.
Speaker 3: People witnessed maybe the greatest baseball player of the last
Speaker 3: one hundred years since the Babe Don Mattingly No who
Speaker 3: show Hey Otani. There's video and pictures of him trying
Speaker 3: to parallel park in Los Angeles, and the headline says,
Speaker 3: show Hey Otani, parallel parking. Show is hard. That show Hey,
Speaker 3: the guy can't parallel park. The guy goes fifty to fifty.
Speaker 3: But in the picture. I don't know if that's a
Speaker 3: joke or what it's like really bad. Yeah, I saw
Speaker 3: the article. It's like he's not even close, not even
Speaker 3: clothes at all, which is amazing to me because you think, Wow,
Speaker 3: the guy who could apparently do everything can't do that.
Speaker 3: He's so coordinated that he could pitch and bat like
Speaker 3: no one we've ever seen, like the Babe, but he
Speaker 3: can't parallel park.
Speaker 2: What is that about?
Speaker 3: Well, the world has finally found out something show Hey
Speaker 3: Otani can't do, and that's parallel park. There's a video
Speaker 3: on TMZ Sport showing the Dodger Superstar not quite being
Speaker 3: able to get his Porsche must be Nice into a
Speaker 3: tight parking spot and he's doing that thing where you're
Speaker 3: going back and forth twenty times into the parallel parking spot.
Speaker 3: That's embarrassing, dude, And most cars nowadays, I'm guessing.
Speaker 2: This a newer Porsche A show.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but for a superstar like that's an embarrassing moment.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 3: But I look at it as not only that because
Speaker 3: he's a superstar, but it's so parallel parking isn't tricky
Speaker 3: to begin with for most, but nowadays with all the
Speaker 3: cameras and a car like that probably parks itself, you
Speaker 3: would think.
Speaker 2: Right with all the money he has, think of.
Speaker 3: When you back up all of a sudden boop, your
Speaker 3: camera goes on. It shows you the trajectory of your wheels, Like,
Speaker 3: there's no excuse to not parallel park effectively in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty five. And that is the story Morning Glory Show.
Speaker 3: Hey Atani. I think of a few things though when
Speaker 3: I hear the story. It's cool that baseball's coming back
Speaker 3: because we need it, we really do. The NBA has
Speaker 3: to bring the heat. I heard Rob Parker going off.
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. This is their chance, this was their night.
Speaker 2: Nothing's going on.
Speaker 1: You gotta win over the fan and you lay an egg.
Speaker 3: I don't know, he's eighty said something randomly some crazy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: it's dude, and he's right about that. Like football's over.
Speaker 3: You want something, right, you watched enough Cobra Kai. You're
Speaker 3: all cut up on your shows. Football's done. You're like,
Speaker 3: all right, basketball entertain me. Oh you're not going to
Speaker 3: You'll catch his huge thirtieth birthday party below out tonight.
Speaker 2: I do not the party and the one night where
Speaker 2: the stars are out. The All Star.
Speaker 3: Game comes and it's a dud, and you're like, well
Speaker 3: kind of stinks. Well then all right, well where's baseball?
Speaker 3: So pitchers and catchers come? You're like, all right, well,
Speaker 3: starting spring training begins? All right, all right, Harris coming.
Speaker 3: You see a lot of your favorite players in there.
Speaker 3: You're starting to see your favorite players, your your new
Speaker 3: players show up in their and their snappy new spring
Speaker 3: training uniforms, and seeing the pictures, you're seeing them taking
Speaker 3: some hacks, some swing, some cuts.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing Cody Bounger hit some bombs.
Speaker 3: I'm seeing Old Schmidt all shaving, Devin Williams with no beard,
Speaker 3: and you know you're seeing show Hail Tani throwing. You're like,
Speaker 3: oh man, what a season is brewing? Something's brewing. The
Speaker 3: Dodgers with their eight man rotation. Yeah, the Dodgers or
Speaker 3: everybody's coming in. It's that time of year Baseball's we
Speaker 3: have thoughts on baseball. We're gonna get to later, but
Speaker 3: as you see your players. But dude, that's the I'm
Speaker 3: trying to paint a picture here. We're more excited about
Speaker 3: seeing show hal Tani throw warm ups. When's the last
Speaker 3: time you were this excited about baseball?
Speaker 2: Is my question. It's because of the postseason last year.
Speaker 3: The postseason was so exciting that it got us this
Speaker 3: fired up this year with.
Speaker 2: All the moves made and all.
Speaker 3: The money moves that, honestly, I feel bad saying is
Speaker 3: you're not really caring about basketball that much. You're like
Speaker 3: thinking about baseball and we're a whiles away. Still, I'm
Speaker 3: more intrigued to watch Sho hal Tani parallel parked in
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter of a close NBA.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the real story. How dare you?
Speaker 3: I mean, have you seen him trying to parallel park?
Speaker 3: It's pretty funny, but it's really bad. I before I
Speaker 3: have more thoughts on this Otani parking thing. I saw
Speaker 3: at spring training. They had all the Mets as they
Speaker 3: were walking into the clubhouse, like, guess.
Speaker 2: How many like jelly beans are in the jar? Are
Speaker 2: you good at that type of thing?
Speaker 3: Because when I tell you, some guys like two hundred,
Speaker 3: other guys like five thousand, Like, how can you be
Speaker 3: so off if I gave you like a if you're
Speaker 3: at the mall and it's like, hey, win something, Guess
Speaker 3: how many gum drops.
Speaker 2: Are in this thing? I can't say that I've ever
Speaker 2: won anything like that, but my daughter did twice. What
Speaker 2: is your perception that off? All?
Speaker 3: Right? Honestly, how would I know? I never want I
Speaker 3: never guessed what everything? I never want, So I don't know.
Speaker 3: As Otani's try to parallel parallel park, it did get
Speaker 3: us thinking even the greatest people in the world that
Speaker 3: dominate the world of music, sports, the most coordinated science,
Speaker 3: and the Neil de grasse Tysons of the world, like,
Speaker 3: I'm sure you think this has something to do with
Speaker 3: the fact that he's so pampered that he normally doesn't
Speaker 3: drive himself.
Speaker 1: I mean that, yeah, that could very well. He mostly
Speaker 1: had a driver his entire career and a bookie.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not and friends and no, but oh, Tony,
Speaker 3: I'm guessing that's probably the story, Danny. But for every
Speaker 3: great man or woman out there, they have a weakness.
Speaker 3: No one's perfect, did you like to say, except Kurt
Speaker 3: Heading mister perfect and he died. He was perfect, stir perfect.
Speaker 3: That guy could throw a pass and catch it in
Speaker 3: the end zone. He would throw touchdowns to himself. He
Speaker 3: uh only three hundreds, Yeah, he would both three hundreds.
Speaker 3: He would hit every every shot, he took every bulls
Speaker 3: eye on a dartboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy was awesome. Not so perfect he couldn't
Speaker 1: even stay alive.
Speaker 3: Do you remember, Danny, Do you remember those promos in
Speaker 3: the nineties for wrestling where mister Perfect did every sport
Speaker 3: and he was perfect for he had a perfect mullet too,
Speaker 3: I mean, and he was pals with Wade Bogs cancer free.
Speaker 3: This week Wax rang the bell says he's cancer free.
Speaker 2: Happy to hear that legend, Wade Box.
Speaker 3: So for everyone that again, unless you were mister Perfect
Speaker 3: in his prime, everyone has a weakness, show Hao Tani.
Speaker 3: A generational guy can't parallel park. So we ask you
Speaker 3: Fox Sports ready, it is nice when your wife yells
Speaker 3: at you for doing something stupid, or she yells at
Speaker 3: you because you can't do x Y or Z. Well,
Speaker 3: you know show Hao Tani can't parallel park, all right,
Speaker 3: He's one of the greats. He can't parallel park. That
Speaker 3: is embarrassing. Dude, What simple thing can't you do? Where's
Speaker 3: that old commercial set? Even these simple things?
Speaker 2: Think out the voice box? Yes, of course, what simple thing?
Speaker 2: Nothing will ever be the same again, what simple thing
Speaker 2: can't you do?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: Even the simple things?
Speaker 3: Seven seven, nine to nine on Fox? You made me
Speaker 3: a success old businessman or woman. You might be a
Speaker 3: superstar athlete, or a celebrity that acts and makes millions
Speaker 3: of dollars, or a genius like Neil deGrasse Tyson or
Speaker 3: Michi Okaku. But everyone has a flaw. No one's perfect.
Speaker 3: So what is it that you struggle with?
Speaker 2: Then?
Speaker 3: I'm wondering if it ends here with Shoheyo Tani. Is
Speaker 3: he so inept because he's so pampered and he has
Speaker 3: so much money? Maybe he can't even make an egg?
Speaker 3: Who knows what this guy can't do. Maybe he's such
Speaker 3: a baseball robot. He do anything on the diamond, but
Speaker 3: anything at home? Are you starting with your weakness? What's
Speaker 3: my weakness? I can't cook? Yeah, I remember Cavino, Danny
Speaker 3: G has a teenage daughter. When your daughter was maybe
Speaker 3: like ten years old, he called me all excited, ones like, yo,
Speaker 3: get this, bro, I made her a scrambled egg. I'm like,
Speaker 3: are you kidding me? He's like, bro, for real, like
Speaker 3: I did it. I'm like he was excited that he
Speaker 3: figured out how to scramble an egg.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I come from a long line of like sexist.
Speaker 3: Then, I guess I don't know, because no men in
Speaker 3: my family ever cooked. I never saw men cooked. The
Speaker 3: only time I saw my dad cook is like when
Speaker 3: the rare moment mom was gone, mom was out, or
Speaker 3: she worked late, and Dad would make you some stakums
Speaker 3: back in the eighties.
Speaker 2: Hey will you want some steakhums? My dad never made
Speaker 2: me anything. Ever, he would go and buy me, Hey
Speaker 2: will you want tailor ham sandwich?
Speaker 3: He'd buy me something. So I never saw dude's cook.
Speaker 3: No one ever taught me how to cook. It was
Speaker 3: always grandma cooking, doing the dishes. Mom cooking, never my grandma.
Speaker 3: I never saw my grandma eat. She was always cooking
Speaker 3: and washing dishes. So me, as a kid, I wasn't
Speaker 3: taught how to cook. I never learned so when I
Speaker 3: had a kid, I was forced to learn. But I
Speaker 3: am by no means chef Boyard.
Speaker 2: I can't. I still can't cook.
Speaker 3: You are not going to flavor table with GUYFIEDI no,
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't consider my So what I would do
Speaker 3: is probably go out a lot. If I didn't have
Speaker 3: a girlfriend that cooked a lot. Yeah, so I'd be
Speaker 3: out all the time. But the basics I just learned
Speaker 3: within the past fifteen years when my kid was born.
Speaker 3: In fact, one of our favorite show photos over the
Speaker 3: last decade is when Covino tried to grill on like
Speaker 3: a holiday and it was the most meager looking like
Speaker 3: chicken and veggies on a grilla. But I could grill though. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't think that's cooking. But you cook everything well
Speaker 3: done that well, that's just how I like it. But
Speaker 3: you like he doesn't have any skills. I really think
Speaker 3: it's that odd for a guy to not know how
Speaker 3: to cook. Y act like you're yeah, Bobby Flay or something.
Speaker 3: I think it is odd that do you brag about
Speaker 3: scrambling an egg like you want to know how to Yeah,
Speaker 3: but would you.
Speaker 2: Make a whole mon? I've known you for twenty years
Speaker 2: I've never seen you cooked lee squat.
Speaker 3: Just because you grill some stuff in your big green
Speaker 3: egg that you brag about doesn't mean you're Gordon Ramsey
Speaker 3: who hasn't cooked anything. I think you've just named more
Speaker 3: chefs in the last five minutes than meals you've cooked
Speaker 3: in your life.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well fill me in, guy, FIEDI are you cooking?
Speaker 2: I could cook anything? Oh?
Speaker 3: I see you do is eating everybody else's food. All
Speaker 3: I know how to cook. I'll tell you what I
Speaker 3: can't do. I've never seen you. I'll tell you what
Speaker 3: I can do. How are you going to prove it?
Speaker 3: I cook every time people call me?
Speaker 2: Can you cook?
Speaker 3: Anytime people come over my house for a party, I'm
Speaker 3: cooking on the grill or I'm making things in the
Speaker 3: kitchen with my wife.
Speaker 2: I could cook.
Speaker 1: Nah, I'm not a good cook, but I can take
Speaker 1: leftovers and repurpose them into a masterpiece elements.
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna say you can put him in
Speaker 2: the microwaf. No. I can do that too, though, Danny.
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I'm left over gow Let it go, guys,
Speaker 3: all right, I'll tell you what I can't do, and
Speaker 3: I want to hear from everyone at eight, seven, seven,
Speaker 3: nine to nine on Fox.
Speaker 2: You can't cook. But I don't think I'm alone on that,
Speaker 2: well probably not.
Speaker 3: I'llah show he Otani, who is one of the greatest
Speaker 3: athletes of a generation. The guy can't parallel park. What
Speaker 3: sample thing can you not do? I'll give you one
Speaker 3: that way, I'll take the heat off of you, because
Speaker 3: I get it. Not everyone could cook. I can't do
Speaker 3: anything administrative. I freeze up. I'm coaching my kids little
Speaker 3: league team, and because when you're the manager, the coach
Speaker 3: of the team, you have to do some of the
Speaker 3: administrative nonsense. And someone's like, hey, I need you to
Speaker 3: put all your kids info and their sizes and jersey
Speaker 3: numbers and you know, their orders and all this nonsense
Speaker 3: into an Excel sheet and email back to me. And
Speaker 3: I was like, I'm sorry, what sounds you know?
Speaker 2: My job is.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's twenty years since I got out of college
Speaker 3: till now, I've been on the radio, television or podcasting.
Speaker 2: I don't it's embarrassing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you need an administrative assistant. I've helped you with
Speaker 1: emails and things printed and Danny, can you print this
Speaker 1: for me so I can totally see this.
Speaker 2: But look, you've always been the talent.
Speaker 1: You haven't been, you know, a producer or an assistant
Speaker 1: in an office or even a studio.
Speaker 2: It's been an Excel sheet.
Speaker 3: This sounds like a like a lot for a bunch
Speaker 3: of nose picking kids their T shirt signs.
Speaker 2: But people know that's considered a basic skill. Now, well,
Speaker 2: you know, I add this to my list too. It's
Speaker 2: a basic skill.
Speaker 3: Yesterday, to open up a microphotosoft Excel I don't even
Speaker 3: know where to start.
Speaker 2: A simple Excel spreads. You can't do that.
Speaker 3: That's here just dumbling a lot of things, so Danny,
Speaker 3: so that my weakness is the administrative stuff. Yesterday, Cavino
Speaker 3: forgets that a lot of people listening and friends of ours,
Speaker 3: that's their day to day corporate world. Like we had
Speaker 3: to do an iHeart Fox Sports Radio big sales meeting
Speaker 3: yesterday and it was on teams, and Covino's like, who
Speaker 3: uses this team stuff?
Speaker 2: And I'm like, I don't know.
Speaker 3: Probably ninety percent of the people listening right now spend
Speaker 3: their day on stupid teams or zoom calls. Right, that's
Speaker 3: just the world people living now. Oh you're on a
Speaker 3: team's call. All that stuff as Cavino would say, I'm allergic.
Speaker 3: Guy said, uses this team not at all? You said,
Speaker 3: not many? I said, a lot of our listeners are
Speaker 3: on the road. Not everybody's on teams all the time.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of listeners.
Speaker 2: On the road. Who uses this team stuff? That's my impression.
Speaker 3: We probably use it just as much as anyone else
Speaker 3: out there. We're on a team's call a few times
Speaker 3: a week, if every couple of weeks, you know, we're
Speaker 3: on it. So it's administrative stuff. Yeah, it gives me
Speaker 3: the uh, it gives me the nervous farts. I don't
Speaker 3: like doing this either. So what is it that you
Speaker 3: can't do the simple task? Oh, Tani camp parallel park?
Speaker 3: What can't you do? We'll take your feedback next Covino
Speaker 3: and rich In for the great Dan Patrick. We got

Speaker 3: That was That was my night, And here I am.

Speaker 3: like melatonin or or edibles like you do all the time,
Speaker 3: Bachelor usually does the trick.
Speaker 2: But you're right to sleep.
Speaker 3: Oh I could cut back on the edibles and just
Speaker 3: watch bad reality TV.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it works, you know, The Bachelor to me
Speaker 2: and any reality show, right, I was just tired.
Speaker 3: I can't get into that stuff unless, of course, there
Speaker 3: are a plethora.
Speaker 2: I said a plethora, even less there's a plethora of
Speaker 2: crazy hot women like I need them? Yeah, but why
Speaker 2: did they have to be crazy?
Speaker 3: I need them to be crazy and I need them
Speaker 3: to be hot, and I need them to be fighting
Speaker 3: with each other. When the Bachelor is like civilized, whether
Speaker 3: all like normal sweet girls boring.
Speaker 2: I need smoke shows that want to kill each other.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are two women so far in this season
Speaker 1: that keep going at it. They want each other's throats.
Speaker 1: And one of them was the last to get the
Speaker 1: rose on this past episode and the one that hates
Speaker 1: her like cave her this mean mug as she was
Speaker 1: walking up to get the final rose.
Speaker 3: H Well, you know what, we do have a five
Speaker 3: hour flight later today to Philadelphia.
Speaker 2: Maybe o a little Bachelor, I don't know. Maybe I'll
Speaker 2: watch White Lotus.
Speaker 3: But right now we are talking about Shoheo Tani for
Speaker 3: one of the greats. It's kind of wild that he
Speaker 3: can't parallel park. That's the story today, believe it or not.
Speaker 3: That's the story. The cooler part of the story is,
Speaker 3: you know the superstars are back at spring training now
Speaker 3: right Baseball's right around the corner.
Speaker 2: So it gets you excited.
Speaker 3: And I get excited because when you're talking to your buddies,
Speaker 3: I don't think we've been this excited in a long
Speaker 3: time for baseball. So you're seeing a shift baseball baseball's bag.
Speaker 3: I have a theory about it. And you know what,
Speaker 3: I think you just overheard me, you know, annoyingly texting
Speaker 3: my dumb baseball pals.
Speaker 2: This theories as to like, why are you excited about baseball?
Speaker 1: I saw you lift your arm up like this, so
Speaker 1: I think Freddie Freeman did it for you.
Speaker 3: Fred it's my guy. It's the only Dodger I like
Speaker 3: because he seems like a good fella. Let's go to
Speaker 3: Chris and Montana. Let's wrap up this show. Hey thing
Speaker 3: the simple things you can't do in life when you
Speaker 3: see a guy like sho hal Tani who seems like
Speaker 3: a non human at times, I can't parallel park as
Speaker 3: sports car, like not even close, like he's the guy,
Speaker 3: like you know, you know, not to sound chauvinistic, but
Speaker 3: I will. There are times where my wife will get out.
Speaker 3: I'll get out of the car. We'll do a switch through.
Speaker 3: Like sometimes she'll just be driving because I'm like doing emails.
Speaker 3: If we hit a situation where we need to parallel park,
Speaker 3: she she freaks out sometimes and I'm.
Speaker 2: Like, quick, get out. I'll get in the driver's seat
Speaker 2: and do it.
Speaker 3: Some people grew up not having to parallel park Maybe
Speaker 3: they lived in a more rural area so it wasn't
Speaker 3: a thing.
Speaker 2: We both grew up in the East Coast Caveno.
Speaker 3: So maybe you're a better parallel parker because you were
Speaker 3: driving to Manhattan and Jersey and.
Speaker 2: So, like, that's something I could actually do. That show.
Speaker 3: Hey, can't you look at that? Does that make you
Speaker 3: feel good? It does, Chris Montana, you're on a cavino
Speaker 3: on wretch? What's up, Bud?
Speaker 7: Hey, guys, So I'm a child of the eighties, so
Speaker 7: I should be manly to do this, but I don't
Speaker 7: know jack about cars. I can't change the oil. I
Speaker 7: can't change the tire, and I got fighting. You're like, hey,
Speaker 7: check out the ROADI oscillator connected to the alternator. You
Speaker 7: can push the transmission. I have no idea what they're
Speaker 7: talking about, Dude, I don't think.
Speaker 3: I don't think most kids of the eighties and nineties.
Speaker 3: Not only I don't know how to change my oil,
Speaker 3: but you know what the crazier part is.
Speaker 1: You've would changed a tire before, Like if you if
Speaker 1: you had to car, if I had to change a tire,
Speaker 1: I'd be able to do it.
Speaker 3: But you know what, I also enjoyed Danny J picking
Speaker 3: up my phone and calling roadside assistance. You think I'm
Speaker 3: getting if if, if I got a flat tire. There's
Speaker 3: a lot of guys. This is a big national show.
Speaker 3: Good and you know the feedback we get when we
Speaker 3: talk about this. They look at you like you're a
Speaker 3: nept you know, the way you were talking about big sissy. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you big sissy boy. You can't change your own earl,
Speaker 3: can't change your own oil.
Speaker 2: I get it. Well, listen, yeah, look at those sissy hands.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Never never had a grease under those nails.
Speaker 7: Yeh.
Speaker 3: He's talking about roadside assistance. To some people, sounds like
Speaker 3: the most pampered thing ever. I have a question, if
Speaker 3: you got if you got? Mary macis shaking her if
Speaker 3: I got a flat tire? Knock on wood Mare. I'm
Speaker 3: the one o one here in Los Angeles. You think
Speaker 3: instead of calling someone, I should be on the side
Speaker 3: of the road while cars are whipping nid with Jack
Speaker 3: trying to change my time.
Speaker 2: But not on the side of the freeway.
Speaker 1: But if you know, like uh oh, my tires messed up,
Speaker 1: and you get to like a gas station, you should
Speaker 1: be able to go in the extra parking spot, the
Speaker 1: gas station has jack that car, and you know, change
Speaker 1: at least put your spare on.
Speaker 3: There is something to be able to about paying for convenience,
Speaker 3: right like, I don't want it. I just don't want
Speaker 3: to do any of these things. Am I capable of
Speaker 3: following instructions? Of course? But do I want my car?
Speaker 3: I have run flats, so I don't even think I
Speaker 3: don't have a spare tire now that I'm thinking about it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you know if there's some like, no, I don't be
Speaker 3: an old bag of douche right now? No, well, hold on,
Speaker 3: you really do like a giant bag. Hold on, fifty
Speaker 3: percent of cards. Look up the stats, bird brain. Fifty
Speaker 3: percent of cars nowadays don't have a spare tire because
Speaker 3: they have run flats, or they just don't come with
Speaker 3: the spare The days of your trunk having the little
Speaker 3: hatch where you got.
Speaker 2: The spare tire. That's the old timy times.
Speaker 3: I promise you look up the Statue'd be baffled and
Speaker 3: boggled to realize that fifty percent of cars don't even
Speaker 3: have a.
Speaker 2: Sounds so privileged right now?
Speaker 3: Yesno, good, yes, but you like, at least I'll admit it. Mary, Like,
Speaker 3: for example, when the guy says, hey, you want me
Speaker 3: to chane your filters out? I know I could do that,
Speaker 3: but it's easier to be like, well, first you have
Speaker 3: to say do I really need that?
Speaker 2: The other stat to look up.
Speaker 1: As we're worldwide on this network, not everybody has a
Speaker 1: newer car, and we're talking about cars that might be
Speaker 1: ten fifteen years old, and of course that's where you're
Speaker 1: gonna have a tire.
Speaker 3: Prom trying to justify Notice how he's trying to throw
Speaker 3: me under the busy cooking. I've never seen his guy
Speaker 3: cook ever once. He's trying to justify his his who.
Speaker 2: Cooks every time the hammer Life House.
Speaker 3: When we grill a barbecue, grilling is not cooking, dude,
Speaker 3: g meat on the grill is not cooking. Well, i've
Speaker 3: never seen you using green I've never seen this guy
Speaker 3: that is.
Speaker 2: There's a major difference here. You're not my wife, you're
Speaker 2: my grill.
Speaker 3: Who you Ray Lampy, the godfather of barbecue. I've never
Speaker 3: seen you slather anything with barbecue sauce. I've never seen
Speaker 3: you use any spices. I've never seen use ingredients to
Speaker 3: cook anything on a grill is not cooking, that's grilling.
Speaker 3: I'm a fantastic cook, okay, but I've never seen it
Speaker 3: in over twenty years. And then the minute you call
Speaker 3: him out on his pampered behavior, here he's justifying it
Speaker 3: with his run flat. I don't know, maybe because I
Speaker 3: just looked up the stat and it said ten percent
Speaker 3: of new cars come with a full sized flat time. Okay,
Speaker 3: not everybody have a new car in the US.
Speaker 2: Have new cars. I don't know of an eighty seventh central.
Speaker 2: What do you have? There's a lot of people that
Speaker 2: do you boso privilege? Yeah? The car do you drive?
Speaker 2: What car do you drive? Married? You're how old?
Speaker 3: Is?
Speaker 2: Also? You're twenty twenty one? When I was twenty I
Speaker 2: had a crappy old cartown. Yeah. No, so I have
Speaker 2: a twenty fifteen.
Speaker 5: But I can change my oil and I can also
Speaker 5: change a flat time.
Speaker 3: Why would you change your oil if you can go
Speaker 3: to Jiffy Lube, the car dealership or something like that
Speaker 3: and paid forty bucks?
Speaker 5: Do you want to pay I look when I was
Speaker 5: in college, I don't want to pay a hundred and something.
Speaker 2: And I'm a girl. They're gonna try to up charge
Speaker 2: me too.
Speaker 1: Just say Rich, I can't do all right, Rich Rich,
Speaker 1: The average age of a car or a light truck
Speaker 1: in the United States is twelve and a half years ago. Yeah,
Speaker 1: instead of justifying that's the problem here, I'm not saying
Speaker 1: I'm Mike and the mechanics and I'm the best at this,
Speaker 1: Steven the mechanics. But I'm saying, you know, hey, I can't.
Speaker 1: You're just justifying your crappy behavior and can parallel park show?
Speaker 2: Hey I can.
Speaker 3: You can tie this into sports too, Danny g Because
Speaker 3: there's a certain point in life when you realize, like,
Speaker 3: I don't think I could do this, and that's the reality,
Speaker 3: and it hits you like dang. Like we talked to
Speaker 3: Kurt Shilling recently, not the name drop, but he said,
Speaker 3: let me look at your hands, and I said, these
Speaker 3: little hamburger hands. Do you remember that? I said, my
Speaker 3: little hamburger hands. He goes, yeah, He's like, because if
Speaker 3: your hands weren't big enough, you were limited on how
Speaker 3: much spin rotation you can get on your pitches. He
Speaker 3: won't take giving those hands and immediately said, no matter
Speaker 3: how good you would be at baseball, you're just never
Speaker 3: gonna be great.
Speaker 2: You've got little hands. And I'm not going to debate
Speaker 2: the guy. He's one of the rights.
Speaker 3: But there was a point in time when I was
Speaker 3: pitching and I'm playing baseball, and I'm like, you know, Mike,
Speaker 3: my curveball is.
Speaker 2: Just not snapping the way it should. You know, it's
Speaker 2: just not Yeah, but did Chilling have twenty seven Little
Speaker 2: league home runs?
Speaker 3: He didn't, and I and I have that on him,
Speaker 3: and I feel great about fantastic. When it came to whiffleball,
Speaker 3: I had some movement, but when it came to baseball, dude,
Speaker 3: I could never what's the expression, pull the curve. All
Speaker 3: the time, I was gonna say, pull the car never
Speaker 3: pull the curtain the way and snap the y elbow
Speaker 3: and pull.
Speaker 2: The curtain the way that he wanted me to.
Speaker 3: And you know, all I threw was a flat slider,
Speaker 3: and you know, sure enough, everyone starts hitting bombs off
Speaker 3: of you. And I realized I had to accept this,
Speaker 3: that I just can't throw the curve the way I'm
Speaker 3: supposed to. That's a lot of came That's my story. Yeah, everyone,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm here the same and I here to justify. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I got little hamburger hands, but I couldn't throw the curveball.
Speaker 1: Dude, I have one, which I'm sure all of you
Speaker 1: can do, and I'm just lost with it.
Speaker 2: The new like.
Speaker 1: Digital style, a washing machine, I still can't figure this
Speaker 1: thing out. Now a garage. I have to lean on
Speaker 1: my better half for a laundry. Yeah, Like if it
Speaker 1: was up to me to do the laundry in the house,
Speaker 1: our household would be screwed. That's great, Like the old
Speaker 1: school simple washing machine.
Speaker 2: I could figure that out.
Speaker 1: But all these buttons and everything, I'm looking at it
Speaker 1: like it's Kit from Nightmare.
Speaker 2: I'll give you, I'll give you one.
Speaker 3: There's an intimidation factor, and there are two things that
Speaker 3: are very different, but there's one common factor.
Speaker 2: Water is involved.
Speaker 3: Anytime when I was a kid and I had a
Speaker 3: fish tank, that crap would get foggy and terrible, Like
Speaker 3: I couldn't figure out how to keep a fish tank clean.
Speaker 2: Do that. And for that same reason, I have a
Speaker 2: pool guy.
Speaker 3: You could argue that's like a waste of one hundred
Speaker 3: bucks to me, but to me, the pool guy's worth
Speaker 3: it because I feel like if I didn't, my pool
Speaker 3: would be green. Yeah, there's chemicals, like the chemicals you
Speaker 3: start talking about cleaning a fish tank, cleaning a pool,
Speaker 3: anything with water balance of pH in this, you might
Speaker 3: as well be talking about science class to me, like Cavi.
Speaker 3: You know, I would have a goldfish, it'd be dead
Speaker 3: in a week. I'd be like, wow, why is there
Speaker 3: mold in this fishbowl?
Speaker 2: See? You know what.
Speaker 3: That's why when people talk about intelligence, it's just everybody
Speaker 3: has a different skill set.
Speaker 2: That's really what it comes down there.
Speaker 3: There's people that are terrified of speaking, and you do
Speaker 3: it for a living, so I have a different skill set,
Speaker 3: and and they have knowledge in different things. And look
Speaker 3: sho heeo Tani. I'm sure he's an intelligent person. We
Speaker 3: know he's great at a lot of things, but the
Speaker 3: dude can't parallel part. And everybody has their weak sponsor,
Speaker 3: but the weakness their achilles. You that's the fun of
Speaker 3: you know, taking a look around the room and taking
Speaker 3: a look at your friends and family. We all have strengths,
Speaker 3: we all have weaknesses, such as life. I was talking
Speaker 3: to one of the dads at the school. This guy's
Speaker 3: like one of those super smart guys that you know
Speaker 3: computer programming and you know, like is the boss of
Speaker 3: a company with all these you know, you know those
Speaker 3: rooms of like the racks of computers and stuff. He's
Speaker 3: the guys builds those, But he's like, what you do?
Speaker 3: I would be terrified of talking. I'm like, you build computers.
Speaker 3: I don't even know how to restart my commit right,
Speaker 3: I don't know how to print out a document or
Speaker 3: as you said earlier, in excel sheet, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I can't do it, So show hey can't parallel park.
Speaker 2: We posed this question to Fox Sports Radio Nation, what
Speaker 2: can't you do? Well? Coming up? You talked about the
Speaker 2: excitement that baseball is about to bring.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a buzz in the air that's a little
Speaker 3: different this year, and I think it's because there's a
Speaker 3: lot of teams.
Speaker 2: That are that are going all in, and there are.
Speaker 3: A lot of big market teams that are going all in,
Speaker 3: and I think that helps. I'm sure there's a lot
Speaker 3: of small market fans that aren't as excited, but you
Speaker 3: have to be intrigued to see what happens with some
Speaker 3: of these other big teams.
Speaker 2: There's a different buzz for sure.
Speaker 3: So a little baseball, well, NBA, little football, a little
Speaker 3: of everything coming up. Having some fun in for dam
Speaker 3: Pat Covino on rich More next on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 6: Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast. Be

Speaker 2: Hey, Mary Mack, who is this is? Jello? Who?
Speaker 5: Jello Cello, Jell Jello, Jella, Jellaell Jet Ball Le Angelo Ball?
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, I think it's the Angelo Ball. Did
Speaker 5: you guys hear the Lil Wayne remix?
Speaker 2: It was so bad? I loved it, but I appreciate
Speaker 2: your musical choices. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Mary mac Levar's son Danny, Oh it is Yeah, yes, sir. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he performed for the NFL recently performed at All Star Weekend.
Speaker 2: No I knew that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and he's getting a lot of props in the
Speaker 3: world of hip hop.
Speaker 2: I've been reading all the articles. I just don't know
Speaker 2: the song. A lot of lip syncing going on too.
Speaker 3: That's Danny g super producing, also a hip hop guru.
Speaker 3: At eight seven, seven ninety nine out Fox's Covino and
Speaker 3: rich In for Dan Patrick, and again every Wednesday, we
Speaker 3: do Midweek major the biggest stories in the world the
Speaker 3: sports and pop culture.
Speaker 2: Danny G's working on that.
Speaker 3: We decide if these stories are mid and most of
Speaker 3: them probably are because it's a week week.
Speaker 2: Are they mid? Are they weak?
Speaker 3: Are they major stories in the world of sports? Stick
Speaker 3: around for that again, live in Mercedes Benz Studio.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk some Floyd Mayweather Junior in a little bit.
Speaker 3: There's some NFL stuff I haven't thought about, neighbors, but
Speaker 3: major League Baseball, Yeah, there is a buzz.
Speaker 2: There's such a buzz about it.
Speaker 3: Again, we talked about show Hey pulling into spring training
Speaker 3: campt Parallel Park. But just the fact that you see
Speaker 3: clips of him throwing. Look, we're out here in LA.
Speaker 3: But I'm no Dodgers fan. Seeing him throwing gets me excited,
Speaker 3: like ooh yeah. Seeing all these players showing up on
Speaker 3: their new team gets me excited as a Yankees fan.
Speaker 3: Like I said, seeing all the new guys showing up
Speaker 3: cleanly shaven, which, by the way, I think is kind
Speaker 3: of weak because it's twenty twenty five. Let these guys
Speaker 3: be whoever they are with the compromise, keep it professional.
Speaker 2: But facial hair is okay. You know when it comes
Speaker 2: to baseball.
Speaker 3: You know how they always say like, you can't really
Speaker 3: judge a politician a president until years later, because you
Speaker 3: got to sort of take a look back later on
Speaker 3: in the moment. It's very hard to judge if something's
Speaker 3: working or not. They say that about a lot of things,
Speaker 3: but politics. I always bring that up, like, well, you
Speaker 3: can't really tell looking back. You need a minute, And
Speaker 3: I think enough time is passed in baseball where we
Speaker 3: could say without a doubt that it's very easy to
Speaker 3: want to criticize missionaris in all the major sports. But
Speaker 3: the changes Baseball made with the pitch clock, the slightly
Speaker 3: bigger bases.
Speaker 2: They're pizza boxes, some of the.
Speaker 3: Replay options, the man on second and extra innings during
Speaker 3: the regular season. All the little things that people bitched
Speaker 3: and complained about when they came out have now translated
Speaker 3: to bigger ratings, higher attendance, and it seems like a
Speaker 3: buzz and an interest in Major League baseball. Honestly, I
Speaker 3: got a credit the postseason, and if you feel different
Speaker 3: about it, let us know again. Of course, where gonna
Speaker 3: feel excited about it? First of all, we're baseball fans.
Speaker 3: Second of all, if you're new to our show. I'm
Speaker 3: a Yankees fan. They were in the World Series last year.
Speaker 3: They made some cool moves. Rich as a Mets fan,
Speaker 3: they got Juan Soto in high expectations. They're spending money
Speaker 3: like crazy, they got new jerseys. There's lots to be
Speaker 3: excited about.
Speaker 2: Danny g is a Dodgers fan.
Speaker 3: I win one hundred and twenty games. And the other
Speaker 3: side of the question is this is it a guarantee.
Speaker 3: There's so many ways to look at this. Is it
Speaker 3: simple or easy to say that it's a guarantee that
Speaker 3: the Yankees, Dodgers, and Mets, being they spent so much money,
Speaker 3: are automatically in the playoffs this year playoffs? No, seriously,
Speaker 3: it's a long season, right, one hundred and sixty two games.
Speaker 3: But when you do look at some of these teams,
Speaker 3: and it's not just the money spent though, they're making
Speaker 3: solid moves, like they're really creating big teams. As a result,
Speaker 3: you're seeing the Red Sox make some sweet moves like
Speaker 3: that trickles down because if teams really want to compete,
Speaker 3: they're now forced to make other good moves. There's other
Speaker 3: teams are good rosters. Yeah, the Alias Philadelphia Toronto Cleveland.
Speaker 3: The Padres are still good, Danny, gres hate them, still
Speaker 3: got a stacked lineup. In fact, you could argue they're
Speaker 3: the team that matches up the best against the dots
Speaker 3: punishable faces. Yeah, so here's the question based on it.
Speaker 3: Two questions, two part doozy. If you want to speculate
Speaker 3: even more, let us know. Are we jaded because of
Speaker 3: course we're rooting for the bigger market team, so of
Speaker 3: course we're excited because you're expecting them to go far.
Speaker 2: How far?
Speaker 3: I don't know, But is it better to be surprised
Speaker 3: when your team makes the playoffs or the pressure of
Speaker 3: like the expectation, because I feel like it's expected that
Speaker 3: all three of those teams are in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any question.
Speaker 3: I said at a dinner last night, and Rich and
Speaker 3: his buddy were debating, like, you think the Mets will
Speaker 3: make the playoffs? I'm like, they better make the playoffs?
Speaker 3: How did they not make the playoffs?
Speaker 2: Danny?
Speaker 3: The not so fun fact about the Mets, And I'm
Speaker 3: sure other franchises have like weak ass stats like this.
Speaker 3: Other than nineteen ninety nine, two thousand, the Mets have
Speaker 3: never made the postseason back to back seasons. There is
Speaker 3: an asterisk there though, because unless you county fifteen to
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, unless you got the twenty sixteen in one
Speaker 3: game wildcard, but I can't count that as the post
Speaker 3: But I'm saying for technic count I know I can't
Speaker 3: count against when you when you make the one game
Speaker 3: playoff before the wildcard was a three game set, I
Speaker 3: can't call that the playoffs. You played one hundred and
Speaker 3: sixty games. But a lot of teams think they rebuild.
Speaker 3: That happens in the NFL and the NBA all the time,
Speaker 3: where you think, God, this is the year, and the
Speaker 3: team falls flat.
