I think 0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.480 you're gonna say, Billy Madison style, back to school. It's 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.240 NFL Eve, and I am Steve, and that is Rich 0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:58.840 and we're Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. 0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:00.680 Let's go. And by the way. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:06.240 Out here in the mean streets of LA. Kids started 0:01:06.240 --> 0:01:08.880 at school a few weeks ago. So today was picture 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:14.000 day and you just hope that your kid's picture comes 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:16.679 out okay, And sure enough, I have a pain in 0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.000 the ass teenage daughter. She already hit me up with 0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:23.800 I hate my picture. I'm like, you got it already. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.920 That's what you look like, buddy. I just don't understand 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.200 in the world of digital photos, how about you get 0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:31.319 one that looks okay? Aren't we paying for this crap? 0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:33.680 So now I got to deal with that attitude when 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.000 I get home. I hope your night is better this 0:01:36.120 --> 0:01:39.759 Cavino and Rich and I hope your Yankees loose. So oh, 0:01:39.800 --> 0:01:41.880 by the way, Rich and I have a bet, right, 0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.160 we've been talking about it. Whoever's going to have the 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:47.000 better record wins one thousand dollars feeling rets not feeling 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:51.560 good about it. But do you remember the inside Yankees 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.240 bet between Aaron Judge and Jazz Chisholm. We talked about 0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:56.960 it briefly. I thought it was fun. They made like 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.880 a friendly bet with each other. Oh, I know the 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.240 bet they made, but you probably talk about mostly on 0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.480 your corny Yankee chat you probably have going on. No, 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.520 but the bet was, now who has more home runs? 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.239 Who has more home runs than stolen bases combined? You 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:11.799 remember that. Because Chisholm was like, that should be the stat. 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.519 It should be a stat home runs and stolen bases combined. 0:02:14.600 --> 0:02:18.440 He said, if thirty thirty and forty forty matters so much, 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.160 that should be a stat. Okay, So where are they 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.640 at right now? I looked it up because Chishom hit 0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:26.679 two bombs last night. He's winning fifty four to fifty two. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:32.040 So Aaron Judge has give me those numbers again, fifty 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:32.760 four to fifty two. 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:34.960 Ugus Won Soto has sixty four combined. 0:02:35.160 --> 0:02:38.079 Just just say, you know, just let you know, you know, 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.160 all right, thank you, Donald Truce. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.040 If Otani wasn't pitching this season, he'd have a yall 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:44.920 blown out the water. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.200 Great. No, But I looked it up because I was curious. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:49.200 I was like, what was that bet at Lon Soto's 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.800 got twenty seven stolen bases and thirty seven home runs. 0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.919 Chishom's gonna end up thirty thirty probably, So he's at 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:59.840 twenty eight home runs and twenty six stolen bases. In 0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:05.440 Judge is at forty three home runs, and whereas he 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.799 like nine stolen bases. So again Jazz is in the lead, 0:03:08.880 --> 0:03:11.320 fifty four to fifty two. But anyway, Frank Franken's like 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:13.720 getting a bed jump with three steps and judges at second. 0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:14.520 I think that. 0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:16.480 Should be a stat though, if we're gonna put emphasis 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.559 on forty forty and fifty to fifty and thirty thirty. 0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:22.519 How does that not count? So anyway, then you know 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:24.280 who would know who would have the highest total? 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:24.440 Ever? 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:25.880 Am I wrong by guessing? 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:26.200 What? 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:29.200 Remember when Acuna did it? Oh, that's a good one. 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.760 He have like he had the forty home runs obviously, 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:35.720 but then he like sixty seventy stolen bases that he might. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:37.160 Have the highest toll. That's kind of cool. 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:40.080 Yeah, I don't know at fifty to fifty, right, so 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.040 he had fifty to fifty Yeah, officially the first to 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:48.000 do it. So just giving you the update there, big 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.680 Yankees fan. Rich is a Mets guy, Danny g Dodgers 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:52.760 Sam Sam? 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:57.120 Who's your team? Baseball? Did you forget? 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:57.839 Sorry? 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.600 I was listening to something else? What was the it? Proclaimer? 0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:04.680 Yeah, he's preparing Mike's words, preparing the words of wisdom from. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:09.240 My favorite baseball team. Let's say the creed I was. 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.960 I grew up a Phillies fan. You know, nice all right? 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:14.280 By the way they like the Dodgers too. 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:18.120 I look at you when Otani went fifty to fifty, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.560 do you remember what his final numbers were, because I 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.920 guarantee it wasn't one hundred and fourteen. That year, Ronald 0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.800 Acunya Junior, he hit forty one home runs and he 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.320 had seventy three stone bases. 0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:33.440 I wonder if that's is that the right? I think 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.279 about who has ever had a better most combined or 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.480 that were forty forty? I would say most. I would 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.360 find most combined has to be a Prisia junr No. 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.720 And it's kind of a tricky thing. Ricky Henderson stole 0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:49.960 one hundred and thirty bases, one hundred and forty. But 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.640 that's why I wanted to make sure, talking like forty 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.520 forty guys who qualified him. 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.159 I think, I think to make what Camino's saying, that's 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.880 stat I think you have to go thirty thirty met 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:04.599 fair twenty twenties mild. I think still solid though. I mean, yeah, 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:06.800 Ricky hit the Ricky. The Ricky was just still the 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.480 Ricky would get on base and steal two bases every time. 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.680 Good call, dB, thank you for making us feel stupid. 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:16.760 But no, no, no, but but him you I don't know. 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.080 But if you're thinking of that home run stole base, 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.520 because Ricky did hit ten twenty home runs in years, right, 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:24.440 he hit some, he had some years. But I do 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:28.440 think that if you say minimum thirty home runs like 0:05:28.480 --> 0:05:30.480 a guy that was in the thirty thirty club, No, 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.919 I don't think anyone's touching a Kunya Junior with forty 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:33.920 one and seventy three. 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:35.039 He's had a year. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:35.359 Man. 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.000 So anyway, I hope your teams are winning. 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.480 Every Wednesday, we do Midweek Major so we do that 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.640 later on today the biggest stories in sports and pop culture. 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:50.880 But we also do something called Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom. 0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.480 All you have to do is listen and repeat verbatim. 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:55.800 Could I give you one fun fact in the in 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.400 the vein of Dan Bayer when he just made me 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.520 feel like a dunce ive your vein at this. I 0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:03.080 had a buddy give me a trivia question. This is 0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:05.400 one where you could absolutely trick anyone because it's like 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.200 one of those semantic Okay, one of my softball buddy 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:12.480 says a bit, You'll never guess what Major League baseball 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:16.279 player in history has the most go ahead home runs 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:19.760 in history, and the answer is Ricky Henderson because we 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:21.800 can se has the most leadoff home runs. So start 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:23.480 off anytime you start off a game. If he hit 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.800 a home run one nothing, there's your go ahead home run. 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.080 So that's like one of those like wan wah trivia questions. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.880 So who has the most go ahead home runs in history? 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.680 The Ricky rest in peace? All right, you want to 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:36.839 do this Mike's where it's a wisdom. Let's kick it. 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:40.920 Oh, it's time for the guy that runs this place. 0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:44.560 Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.000 He is not in charge of everything. He has no 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:50.599 power over really anybody here. He does not run this place. 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:59.719 It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday. 0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:06.440 Healing is more about accepting pain and learning to coexist 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:11.559 with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:12.400 is impossible. 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.000 Was was Mike on the turlet? When do you recorded that? 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:17.200 One? 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:18.640 Sounded like he was inside a coffin. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:19.120 I know. 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.840 That's some pretty stage advice though, I know, Wow, you 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:26.720 know it's not. It's serious, Yeah, very serious. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:27.280 Definitely gonnahing. 0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.440 Nothing lighthearder to fun about that at all. 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:31.680 Rich, I was gonna say, it was long too. We're 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.440 gonna have to play it again. I think for a winner. 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:35.480 All more time, Sam, one more time. 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:36.080 Okay, here we go. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:43.400 Healing is more about accepting pain and learning to coexist 0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:48.440 with it than it is about eliminating all suffering, which 0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:49.280 is impossible. 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:51.000 Mike was in the mood. 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.560 I guess so if you could repeat that verbatim, we 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.680 give you a bribery ball an NFL official NFL in 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:03.160 their football CNR on FSR NERF football in the form 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:03.920 of an IOU. 0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:04.480 Mike knows. 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.120 This supposed to be like a light, fun game, right, Okay, 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:10.360 let's get let's get the toes going. Two weeks ago, 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.920 it's words of wisdom were like real fake booms can't 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:13.240 be fake. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:14.080 If I could see. 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.240 Him like, that was his words of wisdom two weeks ago, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:17.920 there's no limits on it, right, but. 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:18.880 He went deep this. 0:08:19.000 --> 0:08:22.640 It was like Confucius, Hey, we're here to learn some 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.360 stuff eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. If you 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.600 could repeat it, you Enterprise eight seven to seven ninety 0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:31.960 nine on Fox. And while we get the phone calls going, yeah, 0:08:32.840 --> 0:08:35.760 let's talk about your boy who just became your boy? 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.520 Today Novak Djokovic again, who had a big win at 0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:44.960 the US Open. He ended the US's dreams of moving 0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.000 forward and advancing right, Taylor Fritz, is. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.920 That the guy that lost? But Djokovic made a nice 0:08:50.960 --> 0:08:54.880 speech and he did a little dance. 0:08:55.120 --> 0:08:57.360 Yeah, and you know what, it sort of hit me 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.920 right here in the quotos on in the heart because 0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:01.640 he gave his daughter a shout out. 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:02.240 Take a listen. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:06.400 It's twenty minutes to midnight here, tewod September. It's my 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:12.559 daughter's birthday, so this is a big present for her. Actually, 0:09:12.559 --> 0:09:16.559 the dance in the end it was she's gonna rate 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.040 me tomorrow. How was the dance because she told me 0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:24.200 how to dance. It's a K pop demon Hunters. 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.559 Soda Pop is the name of the song. 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:35.360 Obviously it's a big thing globally for teenagers and for kids. 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.560 But I didn't know about it before. My daughter told 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:41.240 me a few months ago about it. So we're at 0:09:41.280 --> 0:09:44.199 home doing different choreographies and this is one of them. 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:47.600 So hopefully I'll make her smile when she wakes up 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:48.200 tomorrow morning. 0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:51.240 Your Mas Soda Pop, your massda Pop. 0:09:51.280 --> 0:09:53.160 I got an eight year old daughter. I get it. 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:56.960 I coached girl softball. All they want to hear is 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:01.520 K pop Demon Hunters. So to me, I listen, Novak 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.199 Djokovic already a champion, but now I look at him 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.360 as a guy that humanized himself. 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:09.239 He's caring about doing dances with his daughter. 0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:12.199 His daughter, Tara Djokovic, who's eight years old and is 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:16.040 a big fan of the demon Hunter thing everybody's talking about. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:20.600 By the way, if you're not living that life, that 0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:25.839 movie has broken all streaming records for Netflix. It's the 0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.800 most dream movie ever on Netflix. And it's really just 0:10:30.040 --> 0:10:34.280 a movie about K pop animated stars that have to 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:35.199 fight demons. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.240 It's ridiculous. But every week every kid loves that. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.480 I told you my first practice from my daughter's eight 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.160 you girls softball team, and they were like coach Rich, 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:45.439 Coach Rich the whole time at the bluetooth speaker. All 0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.560 they want to hear was on repeat, Demon Hunters, Demon Hunters. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:52.760 So when I see Novak Djokovic made you emotional, it. 0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:53.400 Made me emotional. 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:55.680 I see him winning, you know, a big moment moving 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.920 on in the US Open, and he's doing choreography that 0:10:58.960 --> 0:11:01.000 he's doing with his daughter and the living room. It 0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.040 was really endearing. Yeah, there you go. I was gonna 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:06.120 say cute, but that wasn't the word, and it was. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.800 It was really endearing and nice to see. So the 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.720 point here is if you weren't a fan before, you 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:17.199 might be now because you don't see Djokovic to tennis player. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:21.320 You see Djokovic to dad. You see the person. You 0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:23.600 see this guy just trying to make his daughter happy 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.400 and make his daughter smile, and that's a really nice 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:30.160 thing and and that humanizes him and makes him more relatable. 0:11:30.520 --> 0:11:33.840 And that's what we're getting at now. And that's why Camino, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.360 that's why I will end up rooting for certain players. 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.840 Sure it made me like him a lot more. Listen, dude, 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:42.960 and I've never seen stupid K pop demon hunter. I 0:11:43.000 --> 0:11:46.200 live in the in the neighborhood next to his, but 0:11:46.600 --> 0:11:48.400 a lot of people you see Matthew Stafford out and 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.240 about with his daughters, and you see clips of him 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.960 and his daughters, you're like humanized him. 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.200 I think of Drew Brees's like a subtle brag right there. 0:11:57.120 --> 0:12:00.120 If you live, if you live in my neighborhood, do 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:01.840 you know that the Staffords are out and about all 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:02.200 the time. 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.800 Where do you live in the up with the Staffords. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:12.719 What do you live in the l a Broyeah?

You know, 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:28.680 he's in great shape. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:28.800 Thing. 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:30.960 I think of Drew Brees holding his son with the 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.200 headphones when he won the Super Bowl, you know, say like, 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:36.720 don't say things like that and on the radio because 0:12:36.760 --> 0:12:38.280 then the boss is never gonna give you a raise. Ah, 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.080 you're right, I love uh Yeah, I live I live 0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:42.760 in a trailer Parks, right, So. 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:43.719 That was so m lives in. 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.400 I live in a van down Receeda with daniel Lewis's 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:53.000 mom in a crappy apartment. I think about how shows 0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:58.280 like Receiver, shows like Quarterback NBA starting five, these these 0:12:58.320 --> 0:12:59.240 reality shows. 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:02.120 Why do we all love Kirk Cousins? Now, why do 0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.760 you have a soft. 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.439 Spot because he gets his haircut at great clips? Why 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:09.280 do you have a soft spot for you know, justin Jefferson? 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:09.520 Right? 0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:09.880 All right? 0:13:09.920 --> 0:13:12.280 So basically we open it up to you Fox Sports 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:14.520 Radio Nation eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. The 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.640 moments that humanized somebody and made you a fan, made 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.800 you like them more. Maybe you already were a fan, 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.120 but you liked them even more because they were humanized 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.839 in the moment. Tell us who it is and what 0:13:24.880 --> 0:13:27.680 the moment was. And of course we're still taking phone 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.679 calls for Mike's Wednesday Words of Wisdom looking for a winner. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.240 Now, no, no, we're not taking calls. We first time 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.080 ever Mike's been shut out. Really, yeah, the lines are 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:38.600 usually melting during this game. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.400 Well, no one wanted to repeat that. 0:13:40.320 --> 0:13:41.680 And nobody could repeat it. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:44.600 Apparently everyone's getting it wrong, right I eight seven seven 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.360 nine nine on Fox. Hey, prizes up for grabs, And 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:49.800 of course we'll take your phone calls on those moments 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:52.280 where a player, I'll give you on a celebrity doesn't 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:53.599 have to be an athlete, it could be it's a 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:56.199 simple one. I was always a fan. I'm not a 0:13:56.240 --> 0:13:58.319 Patriots fan, but I'm a fan of greatness. So I 0:13:58.520 --> 0:14:00.440 was like Tom Brady. I had a song and everything. 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.679 Tom Brady is the man. Tom Brady is the man. 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:07.360 But when I watched the documentary, I forget which one 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.720 it was. It was probably the man in the arena, 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:13.520 but it was when you saw his family just referring 0:14:13.520 --> 0:14:16.120 to him as little Tommy all the time, Like Tommy, 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.480 they were so proud of Tommy. Yeah, Tommy and Tommy 0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:22.760 did this and Tommy was a good boy, and they 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.240 were so proud of Tommy and my brother tom when 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.200 they just referred to him as little Tommy. Yeah, and 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.560 you realize that he was just a goofy kid that 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.520 worked really hard and he may be a superstar in 0:14:33.560 --> 0:14:37.040 our eyes, in our mind, but to his family, he's 0:14:37.080 --> 0:14:39.880 just little Tommy and his dad is his hero. And 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.560 I when they humanized him in a way, it made 0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:45.160 me like him more. You know, living out here in 0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:49.360 Los Angeles, I have a girlfriend, right of course I 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:50.760 love her, but you know what I love her most 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:53.360 when I see her with her family in Idaho, and 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.960 I realized that, oh, yeah, she's a girl from Idaho 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.440 who loves her family, and he humanizes them. 0:14:59.520 --> 0:15:00.280 Well, right. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:03.360 You know why this is interesting because I said this 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:05.160 just the other day to you. When you see them 0:15:05.160 --> 0:15:08.480 in their real element as real people, not sports robots. 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:14.040 I was telling you just the other day. Nolan McLain 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.560 for the Mets is now four and oh, by the way, yeah, 0:15:16.640 --> 0:15:19.480 guy's got some moves. He's got some movement. The first 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.680 game in the BIGS when I saw his parents in 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.520 the stands, So the Mets had another pet debut tongue 0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:31.120 debut the other day. When you see the parents of 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:33.520 a kid making his major league baseball debut. There's a 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:37.200 famous clip of a Florida Marlin who hit his home run, 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:39.920 his first home run, while his parents are being interviewed. 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:41.800 This is a couple of years ago, and the dad's 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:44.360 going nuts. It makes you feel some type of way 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.040 because you're like, it humanizes them. You're like, oh wow, 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:50.120 these are his parents who watch them more relatable, You're 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:54.640 more invested as a result. And Rich is right, Djokovic, 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.440 I know he's a tennis great, but that. 0:15:57.440 --> 0:16:00.280 Was his coolest moment. That was, by far as was 0:16:00.320 --> 0:16:02.560 the moment made me like him in a different way. 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:03.160 All right. 0:16:03.240 --> 0:16:03.760 You know what I did. 0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:06.040 I respected him as a as a tennis name and 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:08.200 a guy who did great things in tennis. Now I 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:11.560 actually like the guy because he was doing something cute. 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:13.760 He's fun for his kid. He's not too cool to 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.640 do a demon Hunter dance with his kids, so other 0:16:16.800 --> 0:16:19.680 humanizing moments. I did you mention it? I was looking 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:21.960 at the phones and everything. Did you mention Drew Brees? Yeah, 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:23.840 I said when his kid came out. But that's a 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:25.840 I feel like a lot of times when you see 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.040 when you see athletes, Oh you know what, I thought 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:31.400 was cool? We pray too, when we see them with 0:16:31.440 --> 0:16:34.400 their family and everything. That's always nice. Every team does this, 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.720 but you're only gonna know your own team doing this. 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.560 But the Mets have a day every year where the 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:44.080 kids of the players announced their dads in the lineup, 0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:48.840 like now batting my dad, Yeah, you know, number twelve, 0:16:48.880 --> 0:16:52.720 Francisco Lindor. And when you see the kids introducing their dad, 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:54.320 you're like, yeah, they're just guys with kids. 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:55.800 Anything that humanizes them. 0:16:55.840 --> 0:16:59.320 Like, I don't know why this came to mind, but 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:03.200 I remember thinking, oh, yeah, that's right. These are real 0:17:03.200 --> 0:17:06.679 people with real feelings. You know, we should treat him 0:17:06.680 --> 0:17:09.880 with a different level of understanding and grace and respect. 0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.159 When Wilmer Flores got traded from the Mets, remember like 0:17:13.200 --> 0:17:13.720 how he was. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:14.560 Just so upset. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:18.800 He was crying, crying and everything, and yeah, get it together, Bud. 0:17:18.840 --> 0:17:20.880 But still you're like, oh man, these people care. 0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:21.440 That's right. 0:17:21.680 --> 0:17:23.800 They got lives and stuff, and it means a lot 0:17:24.200 --> 0:17:26.679 when you humanizes them. And I always remember that, like 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:27.600 there's there's a guy with. 0:17:27.600 --> 0:17:28.080 A big heart. 0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:30.000 You and Danny g love talking about Hard Knocks when 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:32.199 you see a guy try to make the team and 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:33.720 you're like, wow, look at how much this means to 0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.440 not only him but his family and everyone. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:37.680 Oh when you see those dudes praying every day. 0:17:37.840 --> 0:17:41.600 I was going to say, I think it feels more 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:44.760 emotional for some reason when it's two athletes together having 0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:47.720 a moment like Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb. 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.359 I was wowed off the field for the last time together. 0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:52.439 Remember, I think you see the more Hamlin because of 0:17:52.480 --> 0:17:55.280 what Rich was saying, Like that humanized that guy where 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:57.280 the whole world is rooting for him. And now you 0:17:57.280 --> 0:17:59.480 see him on Hard Knocks and you know you see 0:17:59.520 --> 0:18:01.720 him praying every day, just grateful to be alive and 0:18:01.760 --> 0:18:04.919 on the team. So humanizing moments that really left an 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:08.720 impression and change your opinions or maybe enhance your opinions 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:13.120 on athletes eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:15.160 right now we're going to see if we could get 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.040 a winner for this game. You want to say, let's 0:18:17.080 --> 0:18:19.040 have a trip first, we'll talk about humanizing. Give these 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.200 people another second to think about Mike's words of wisdom. 0:18:22.240 --> 0:18:24.080 What's up, trip, Hey. 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:24.919 Great day as always? 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:26.760 You know and Rich I got one. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:30.879 John Cena has done more Make a Wishes than in 0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:33.800 double than anybody combined.
