Speaker 1: to us and Mike, who runs this take? Who is
Speaker 1: gonna talk more relationships on the show?
Speaker 2: Hold on?
Speaker 1: Before you start the show? I gotta ask Danny G, like,
Speaker 1: are you okay?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 1: I mean, I know the Dodgers are like like going
Speaker 1: for lost number six. I can't roll my eyes more
Speaker 1: at Danny G. At our pre show meeting him and
Speaker 1: Big Mike. We're saying, man, the Dodgers could go for
Speaker 1: their sixth loss in a row right now, and then,
Speaker 1: to quote Danny G, yeah, man, they would only be
Speaker 1: eight up in the division.
Speaker 2: Only Rich I forgot.
Speaker 4: I forget, hey, I forgot what it felt like to
Speaker 4: go on a losing streak like so no, I dude,
Speaker 4: I I was feeling for Rich as I watched the
Speaker 4: loss last night, because if that's what it feels like
Speaker 4: to be a baseball fan, I forgot.
Speaker 2: It's only Yeah, school is probably really sad now.
Speaker 4: But hey, I told you a few days ago that
Speaker 4: the Dodgers were in a little bit of trouble with
Speaker 4: the pitching rotation and some of the entries, and Rich
Speaker 4: laughed at me.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh yeah, right, yeah, but look at there
Speaker 1: some runs when school was on the matter. You know
Speaker 1: you had a chance to win and you lose.
Speaker 4: Okay, Rich, at what point do you get worried? As
Speaker 4: far as a losing street goes how many in a row?
Speaker 1: It doesn't to me, the losing riches Mets, those like twelve,
Speaker 1: It doesn't. The number doesn't matter. It's the fact that
Speaker 1: if you look at the baseball standings right now, see,
Speaker 1: you know what I would be concerned about if I
Speaker 1: were you, If I'm a Dodgers fan, which I really
Speaker 1: should have let my kid be a Dodgers fan. I
Speaker 1: remember my son's like, I like the Mets and the Dodgers.
Speaker 2: Dad.
Speaker 1: As by the way, as then you forced them into Mets.
Speaker 1: Did is it a two run home run? Or is
Speaker 1: that a double home run?
Speaker 2: We might not be sarch in a row show hay
Speaker 2: oh Tani, But I think.
Speaker 1: What you have to worry about, Danny g if you
Speaker 1: want to just get nerdy baseball for a second, they
Speaker 1: got to be the one or two seed. Because the
Speaker 1: way baseball playoffs are structured is that because there's three
Speaker 1: division winners and three wildcards, that third division winner is
Speaker 1: technically a wildcard, meaning they just host the wildcard round.
Speaker 1: Only two teams get that buy. So I think the
Speaker 1: fail for the Dodgers would be is slump enough where
Speaker 1: you're not the one or two seed and you have
Speaker 1: to play a best of three, which could go anyway.
Speaker 1: That's that's the way the Dodgers get eliminated. The rest
Speaker 1: of baseball should be like, man, let them be the
Speaker 1: three seed. That way they have to play like the
Speaker 1: Cubs or the Phillies or the Padres or someone round one,
Speaker 1: best of three.
Speaker 2: I didn't think it happened.
Speaker 4: O Tawny stabilizes that team when he's pitching because since
Speaker 4: his last time on the mound, obviously with that knee injury,
Speaker 4: he's not been pitching for.
Speaker 2: The past few weeks.
Speaker 4: Tying runs on base eleven the Dodgers if they drop
Speaker 4: this game, I hope they don't, but they'd be eleven
Speaker 4: and fifteen since the last time Otani pitched.
Speaker 1: Yah, dude, I'd be a little worried.
Speaker 2: Rich.
Speaker 1: I know it's funny, right, Oh, you're only eight games up. Ooh,
Speaker 1: I get all that. I get what you're saying, but
Speaker 1: it's cliche. However, it's true. The bigger they are, the
Speaker 1: harder the fall. This team has such high expectations that
Speaker 1: if they get into a slide, man, they're gonna fall
Speaker 1: really hard. And then the pressure starts to mount. And
Speaker 1: I wouldn't want to be part of that. Like, expectations
Speaker 1: are through the roof. That's a lot of pressure to
Speaker 1: play under. So there's no guarantee. There's no guarantee. Especially
Speaker 1: the more they continue to play bad, the more's gonna.
Speaker 4: Be a bigger deal, especially when Kyle Tucker looks like
Speaker 4: Confardo out there in the outfield exactly.
Speaker 1: And by the way, I I think that's the pressure sucker,
Speaker 1: that type of pressure, those expectations, Yeah, is why Antony
Speaker 1: Bolpi got sent down to the miners. I think when
Speaker 1: expectations no, it's the truth. When expectations are so high,
Speaker 1: it's almost impossible to meet them, you know, Like, how
Speaker 1: do you outdo the past two Dodgers seasons?
Speaker 2: How are we gonna do that.
Speaker 4: Well, you know why there needs to be a lockout
Speaker 4: now next year because of DB's Brewers.
Speaker 2: They have the best record in baseball. They are they're solid,
Speaker 2: they are good. dB and the Brewers it's all their fault.
Speaker 1: How are you going to You're gonna celebrate by going
Speaker 1: down that slide and left field and one the slider's
Speaker 1: much better when he slid into a beer mug head
Speaker 1: Old County Stadium.
Speaker 2: Now it's just they all curly slide.
Speaker 1: Do you see the clip as years ago now of
Speaker 1: the reporter that did that and like got injured, Oh David, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness. But if you look
Speaker 1: at the Dodgers record year by year, their best statistical
Speaker 1: regular seasons, they came away with really nothing one hundred
Speaker 1: and six wins, one hundred and eleven wins and one
Speaker 1: hundred wins, that nothing to show for it. The last
Speaker 1: two years ninety eight wins and ninety three wins, and
Speaker 1: right now they are on pace for ninety eight wins.
Speaker 1: They're on pace to win close to one hundred games.
Speaker 1: And even if it's hard to play baseball, when there's
Speaker 1: pressure on you and you're playing tight, you know baseball,
Speaker 1: you have to play confident and loose. That's just how
Speaker 1: it's played. The tighter you grip the bat, the worse
Speaker 1: off you are. And I think the Dodgers, for as
Speaker 1: great as they are, have a lot of pressure on
Speaker 1: them to again win again. The team got better, but
Speaker 1: they're hurt. They're not winning the way they're supposed to.
Speaker 1: I'd be a little worried.
Speaker 4: I saw that last postseason for your Yankees. Yeah, I
Speaker 4: remember they were gripping the bat. Yeah, they were swimming
Speaker 4: too hard.
Speaker 1: That pressures. That pressure is real, So I wouldn't really
Speaker 1: I get it rich it's laughable, but if it continues
Speaker 1: a few more games, I would not downplay it. Hold
Speaker 1: on sixty nine and forty five they got, they got forty,
Speaker 1: they got forty eight games left.
Speaker 2: Looks like Alex call moved over to second.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a wild So anyway, it's the eighth inning Dodgers
Speaker 1: Cubs and the tying runs on Sex. Then you put
Speaker 1: yourself in such a great position which you could credit
Speaker 1: your early success to any If the Dodgers go twenty
Speaker 1: four and twenty four, if they play five hundred baseball
Speaker 1: for the final, you know, forty eight games, they win
Speaker 1: ninety three games and that's going to get in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: And now you're not going to be that one or
Speaker 1: two seed likely, but dude, you're in it.
Speaker 2: Worry about the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But again, the world, I hate to say this, standing
Speaker 1: close your ears, no.
Speaker 2: Key k just struck out.
Speaker 1: The world has to root for the Dodgers to be
Speaker 1: a three seed. That's the best shot for someone to
Speaker 1: take down the almighty evil Empire the Dodgers, because.
Speaker 2: They're not the evil Empire. S if you they are
Speaker 2: so well, they're a likable they.
Speaker 4: Would be the evil Empire if they had like really
Speaker 4: punishable faces on it.
Speaker 1: They're not evil per se, but interesting that they are
Speaker 1: quite the Empire. But to root again, but think about it, Empire,
Speaker 1: they're just a likable team. I'll give you that. If
Speaker 1: you're brew Crew and the Braves keep winning it their
Speaker 1: pace and the Dodgers do acquire that three seed. I
Speaker 1: know we're you know, a month and a half, two
Speaker 1: months away, But if the Dodgers don't play on part
Speaker 1: with the Bruise and the Braves and the Bravos, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you got to play a team like
Speaker 1: Philadelphia or the Cubs in a best of three, and
Speaker 1: that's where the Dodgers could get caught.
Speaker 2: Yes, the start of the series, the more likely that is.
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's why when the NBA had
Speaker 1: five game series, that was the only time, like a
Speaker 1: lower seed had a better chance. You get hot, you
Speaker 1: get lucky. But a best of three, Danny, that's tough,
Speaker 1: it is. But right now, sitting pretty yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1: We'll see if he continues on pace to it almost
Speaker 1: one hundred games. But speaking of baseball, you know, Dodgers
Speaker 1: are playing right now. We'll see what happens. Dan Byer's
Speaker 1: got your updates Covino and Rich with Danny g the
Speaker 1: resident Dodgers fan, Sam Is on the Ones and twos.
Speaker 1: We mentioned it at the end of yesterday's show. It's
Speaker 1: not about the Yankees, it's not about Anthony Volpi, but
Speaker 1: I do want to give you the Backstorynthony Volpi had
Speaker 1: to replace Derek Jeter. So again it goes back to
Speaker 1: the pressure. Talk about pressure. Just like the Dodgers are
Speaker 1: going for the three people, but there were guys in between,
Speaker 1: the d d Gregorioases of the world.
Speaker 2: But essentially you're the.
Speaker 1: Next name that people. He's the next guy you know
Speaker 1: d d was great, but he wasn't Derek Jeter. They
Speaker 1: touted him to be one of the highest prospects since
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter, like he's the next guy. He was a
Speaker 1: local kid, grew up watching the Yankees. Everybody wanted this story.
Speaker 1: Good looking kids of talent. You watch every day.
Speaker 2: So I'm not.
Speaker 1: Catching you off guard here. What number was Volpi wearing?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't even remember.
Speaker 2: Do you watch?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be honest with you. Look it up yourself,
Speaker 1: but I'll tell you this, Okay, those things don't mean
Speaker 1: as much to me as they did when I was
Speaker 1: a kid. And he watches one hundred and sixty two
Speaker 1: games a year. He'll be at a five star restaurant
Speaker 1: and he'll have the Yankees game on his phone. But
Speaker 1: he doesn't realize that Anthony Volpi is number is because
Speaker 1: he only has mattingly jerseys number eleven. Number eleven, And
Speaker 1: I'm glad I looked it up because that Ben Rice
Speaker 1: is twenty two. But do you understand that giving him
Speaker 1: number eleven was an honor the same way they gave
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter number two. Because in the Yankees eye rolling
Speaker 1: history of well, the pinstripes and everyone from the the
Speaker 1: Imaginary Babe Ruth to Mickey Mantle to the Maggio. Those
Speaker 1: numbers are all retired. So if you get a lower
Speaker 1: single digit or like double digit number, it means they
Speaker 1: put stock in you. There's a weird time thing it
Speaker 1: used to be. I mean, Aaron Judge is number ninety.
Speaker 1: You're not giving some schlub. Well that was because that's kitchy,
Speaker 1: like he wanted ninety nine. I'm saying number lee number.
Speaker 1: They're not gonna go ten retire. Yeah, they're not gonna
Speaker 1: give number eleven to their utility infield.
Speaker 2: Well, it goes with the point.
Speaker 1: He was touted to be the next superstar, the next
Speaker 1: Derek Jeter, the next guy. We heard about Anthony Volpi
Speaker 1: for so long because he was a New Jersey kid,
Speaker 1: a local kid, grew up watching the Yankees. He was
Speaker 1: going to be the next be all end all for
Speaker 1: the Yankees and be the starting short shortstop for years
Speaker 1: to come, like the pillar of the Yankees. Moving forward,
Speaker 1: you're reading this run. He has one home run this year.
Speaker 1: I was just going to give you stats. He's only
Speaker 1: twenty five years old. Two forty one home run nineteen RBI,
Speaker 1: but again he was hurt for a lot of the
Speaker 1: beginning of the year. Still was his fourth season. Now
Speaker 1: he had a gold glove. His first year he had
Speaker 1: some shining moments. But since then it's been like disappointment
Speaker 1: after disappointment with this guy, and they've done nothing but
Speaker 1: defend him and give him chances. That's the thing, give
Speaker 1: him chances. They've given him so many chances, and they've
Speaker 1: defended him so hard. Aaron Boone was putting so many
Speaker 1: awkward positions, like he's elite, what do you want for me?
Speaker 1: He's elite, he's a great player. It's like yeah, but
Speaker 1: everybody could see he's struggling. So finally at trade deadline
Speaker 1: the day after him and Jason Dominguez get sent down
Speaker 1: to get option to the minor leagues, and he was
Speaker 1: a bona fide Major leaguer. It's fourth year in the league.
Speaker 1: Back to the miners, and they bring up the next
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi, the next Derek Jeter, the next highly tauted
Speaker 1: guy that you've been hearing about for years, George Lombard Junior,
Speaker 1: which basically implies rich they're giving his job to him,
Speaker 1: Like all right, he earned it. He's now our starting
Speaker 1: shortstop and we're sending Vultan dad, Hey, what do we
Speaker 1: have to lose by giving this kid a look?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 1: So I don't expect you to care, but imagine you
Speaker 1: talk about it. No, no, no, about the Yankees. I mean, well,
Speaker 1: you can't expect someone not to care. It's about the story.
Speaker 1: I don't expect you to care about the Yankees. It's hey,
Speaker 1: we're sending you down and we're bringing up this new dude.
Speaker 1: If you're bringing up this new dude, he's got the
Speaker 1: job because the old dude got demoted. That's really it.
Speaker 1: So George Lombard Junior makes his debut last night, told you, hey,
Speaker 1: check it out.
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 1: Been here about this kid for years, and he was
Speaker 1: really putting the pressure on voultpy Balpi was here in
Speaker 1: the footsteps. Not only was he feeling the pressure of
Speaker 1: New York and the expectations and living in the jeter
Speaker 1: shadow of the world, he was here in the footsteps
Speaker 1: of this kid. George Lombard Jr. In his first game,
Speaker 1: in his first attempt at a play, he makes a
Speaker 1: ridiculous double play that Volpe would have never made. He
Speaker 1: hits a home run and his second at bat, tying
Speaker 1: the season totals of Anthony Volpe. They got one, okay,
Speaker 1: cool man, he puts on a show. So it was
Speaker 1: about seizing the moment. Like you can't complain if you're
Speaker 1: an Anthony Volpi in life, meaning if you really got
Speaker 1: an opportunity, you just blew the chance. You had your chance,
Speaker 1: You had your chance, and.
Speaker 2: You blew it. You blew It's like, are you really.
Speaker 1: Wally Pipped Billy who had the chance and you blew it? No,
Speaker 1: Wally Pip's a different a different example. Yeah, but I've
Speaker 1: heard Wally Pip a few times, Like, I want to
Speaker 1: make it clear. Volpi had a chance, he blew it.
Speaker 1: Now do we hope he, you know, works it out
Speaker 1: in the minors, Maybe he learns a second base or
Speaker 1: different position, comes back. You never root for any ballplayer
Speaker 1: to fail, but it happens. Sometimes you just never meet
Speaker 1: those expectations. I don't think it's what the Yankees. I
Speaker 1: think at some point the Yankees may be pirates or something.
Speaker 1: They'll they'll dish him somewhere for like a middle reliever
Speaker 1: or something aneed and maybe Nentony Volpi has an opportunity
Speaker 1: to go somewhere else and become who you thought he
Speaker 1: might have been. But you really gotta seize the moment.
Speaker 1: It's as cliche as it gets. And this kid had
Speaker 1: so many chances. So you feel bad anytime a superstar
Speaker 1: with all his potential fails, but you also have to
Speaker 1: be realistic and say, yeah, well you know, they had
Speaker 1: a pretty fair chance to deliver. And I feel really
Speaker 1: bad about this. But where there's crisis, there's opportunity. Right
Speaker 1: where there's failure, there's room for someone else to succeed.
Speaker 1: And that someone else is George Lombard Junior. And in
Speaker 1: his very second at bat, his second major league at bat,
Speaker 1: is what happens?
Speaker 2: Freaking ball swung on in a high fly ball.
Speaker 6: Well, they fail, going back, going back, done home run
Speaker 6: for George from Burntnor And if parents are going nuts,
Speaker 6: it sounds everybody in the ballpark two nuping Yankees.
Speaker 1: And again his kid looking the part, looking composed.
Speaker 2: I needed that Lombard support.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a Miami kid who made his debut in the
Speaker 1: bigs yesterday and is coincidentally his younger brother also made
Speaker 1: his pro debut in the miners and hit a home
Speaker 1: run too, So the parents watching the one home run
Speaker 1: of their minor league soun on their phone, they look
Speaker 1: up and their big league kid hits a home run.
Speaker 2: That was cool.
Speaker 1: And it just goes to show you, I mean little
Speaker 1: sidetrack from the conversation we're having, because I do want
Speaker 1: to talk about seizing the moment, but I don't know
Speaker 1: if there's anything cooler in the world of sports. Well
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I wanted to actually get to.
Speaker 1: Is there anything cooler in the world of sports? And
Speaker 1: seeing parents in the stands at any sport watching their
Speaker 1: kid get that chance, Baseball just seems to be the
Speaker 1: one you see the most just because of you know,
Speaker 1: I guess you would say the dynamic of like, you know,
Speaker 1: baseball's casual. You see the parents sitting there in the
Speaker 1: stands at a stadium. You don't get those glimpses be
Speaker 1: in college football when you see like the mom or dad,
Speaker 1: like Mendoza's family. But for the most part, I feel
Speaker 1: like baseball is the sport where you do get that
Speaker 1: beautiful glimpse. And a lot of times the sideline sideline,
Speaker 1: I guess the field reporter a lot of times we'll
Speaker 1: be interviewing those parents and a lot of times something
Speaker 1: happens in the middle of that and that makes it
Speaker 1: even cooler. Yeah, I mean, I have so many thoughts
Speaker 1: about this, but again, both of their kids went yard
Speaker 1: yesterday in their debuts. I think in the NFL you
Speaker 1: get these moments most when a kid's drafted and then
Speaker 1: you see the parents show the love. But in baseball,
Speaker 1: for me, since the draft doesn't really a big deal
Speaker 1: in baseball compared to the NFL and NBA, in baseball,
Speaker 1: it's usually like he's making his debut today and there's
Speaker 1: his mom and dad sitting by the first baseline.
Speaker 7: I like it when they're on the road and the
Speaker 7: player does something well and then the home fans are
Speaker 7: cheering for the road kid because they're sitting by mom
Speaker 7: and dad. It's a close So like if it was
Speaker 7: a Mets player and they're facing the Nationals, the Nationals
Speaker 7: fans are still giving them high fivescause because the parents
Speaker 7: are sitting behind him.
Speaker 2: Of course, Yeah, that's that is a great moment.
Speaker 1: And you know, when you think about it, is the
Speaker 1: reason why baseball is more special Covino, because in the
Speaker 1: NBA or NFL, when does that moment happen Draft night?
Speaker 2: Usually?
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he made his debut yesterday and came through again,
Speaker 1: matching the totals the season totals in one game of
Speaker 1: an Anthony Volpi. And I'm reading the feedback and one
Speaker 1: guy's a total moron. So I'm not even going to
Speaker 1: address that. Vince Garcia says, the amount of pressure that
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpi was under in New York is just tremendous
Speaker 1: due to the expectations. He's trade bait at this point.
Speaker 1: You know, that's his story in itself. You don't have
Speaker 1: to be a Yankees fan to think of that person
Speaker 1: where the expectations were through the roof and they just
Speaker 1: couldn't meet him, and they just never mounted to what
Speaker 1: you thought they'd be. Well, and it's a sad story.
Speaker 1: So I'm waiting for the kid trade bait with his stats.
Speaker 1: I'll give you only twenty five. I'll give you some
Speaker 1: double bubble on some sunflower seats. I mean, at this rate,
Speaker 1: you have to imagine that they wanted to dish him
Speaker 1: somewhere during the deadline, and nobody wanted so he got optioned.
Speaker 1: So speaking of Yankees lore, though I do want to
Speaker 1: mention these things, and speaking of numbers, Rich George Lombard
Speaker 1: Junior comes out and he's wearing number ninety six, and
Speaker 1: that's what they gave him, number ninety six when Jeter
Speaker 1: won Rookie of the Year. That's when they won the
Speaker 1: World Series. He hit his first home run in the
Speaker 1: same place that Derek Jeter hit his three thousand hit
Speaker 1: as a home run, and his parents were a mixed couple,
Speaker 1: very reminiscent of Doctor Jeter was one I'm.
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie.
Speaker 1: When I saw his parents and he's got a black
Speaker 1: dad and a white mom, I was like, very much
Speaker 1: like someone else. He really was shortstop of the captain
Speaker 1: of the Yankees. But the kid had a magical night.
Speaker 1: And you think about it, it's it's such a weird
Speaker 1: juxtaposition because you got Anthony Volpi, who's, you know, probably
Speaker 1: at the lowest point possible. So you gotta feel bad
Speaker 1: for any young guy that just doesn't make it even
Speaker 1: though his career is not written. And then on the
Speaker 1: flip side, Anthinny Molpie was not pubped watching that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And how do you think the teammates feel like they
Speaker 1: I love this kid Volpey, but now they got a
Speaker 1: cheer for the new kid too. There's so many feelings
Speaker 1: going on this time of year. You even said, one
Speaker 1: of your buddies who plays professional sports, the trade deadline
Speaker 1: and these moves that are made, they are so impactful
Speaker 1: on your life and on your mentals and everything. Your
Speaker 1: mentals and your fundamentals, no doubt. So what I'm getting
Speaker 1: at is this kid made his debut and he sees
Speaker 1: the moment. Anthony Volpi could not for whatever reason, but
Speaker 1: when this happened yesterday, you couldn't help but enjoy the moment.
Speaker 1: Like you said, rich with the parents, I think there
Speaker 1: is there anything cooler in sports. When you see the
Speaker 1: family embracing this and realizing that they're the people who
Speaker 1: drove them to practice their whole lives. I can only
Speaker 1: I can only imagine the same taught him the game
Speaker 1: and everything else. A lot of times at draft night
Speaker 1: when you see the moms and there's usually like a
Speaker 1: hot sister or girlfriend there and people get weird, who's
Speaker 1: the But it's usually that's the moment in basketball or
Speaker 1: football where you're like, man, it all came together. They
Speaker 1: watch their kid and here he is drafted.
Speaker 2: Because in the NBA or.
Speaker 1: NFL, if you're a high round draft pick, you're gonna
Speaker 1: play in the league the next year.
Speaker 2: Likely in Major League Baseball, you get drafted.
Speaker 1: You just become part of the system, and that means
Speaker 1: really nothing, right, So when a kid makes his major
Speaker 1: league debut, that's the intro to the big show. So
Speaker 1: to me, I watched that mom and dad in the
Speaker 1: crowd was awesome in the most selfish way.
Speaker 2: And I think we all feel this way.
Speaker 1: If you got kids, you know how much effort and
Speaker 1: how much heart you put into coaching your kids, sitting
Speaker 1: in the stands watching your kids play baseball, soccer, flag football,
Speaker 1: And to know that those parents, those feelings must be overwhelming. Dude,
Speaker 1: from the time that kid was five years old hitting
Speaker 1: a ball off a tee and running to third base
Speaker 1: by mistake to now you know that that mom's probably
Speaker 1: like I've been to every high school game, every summer
Speaker 1: travel ball like that.
Speaker 2: It's it's probably like heart ranching.
Speaker 1: And you know, another weird moment, when George Lombard Junior
Speaker 1: hit his home run. It is insane that Zach Hampbell.
Speaker 1: Do you guys know who Zach Hampbell is, The kid
Speaker 1: that made a living out of catching foul balls that's
Speaker 1: called like thousands of foul balls. He had a glove
Speaker 1: on it. Almost he almost got it.
Speaker 2: It was off his glove.
Speaker 1: Like the knack that this kid has for being in
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time, and he gets
Speaker 1: such flak for that, by the way, is insane. But anyway,
Speaker 1: it's just the highs of highs and the lows of lows.
Speaker 1: And that's what makes sports interesting because you feel bad
Speaker 1: for one guy, but you gotta love the opportunity that
Speaker 1: the other guy gets as a result. And that's what
Speaker 1: we saw last night. To be a Yankees fan is
Speaker 1: my point to understand what I'm talking about or to
Speaker 1: appreciate those moments. And when you see the family getting
Speaker 1: behind the kid and everyone's happy for Lombard Junior, that's
Speaker 1: what that's what it's all about. And he plays again
Speaker 1: tonight and I can't wait. Oh he plays again every night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Anthony Volpe's like, does he have to? Well, Anthony Vope's
Speaker 1: ever gonna play again, honestly, because I think this is
Speaker 1: his job.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: The Anthony Vopia sort stuff era is over. He's gonna
Speaker 1: have to learn second base or just move a or
Speaker 1: they trade him. I mean, there are guys that, if
Speaker 1: you know Danny g your team gave new life to
Speaker 1: a guy that my team gave up on, Like Justin
Speaker 1: Turner was such a big part of your squad for years,
Speaker 1: a fan favorite. The Mets had him as a utility
Speaker 1: guy that they never truly gave a shot to. And
Speaker 1: you know what, maybe it made me think of where
Speaker 1: I think Kevino and I want to roll next, which
Speaker 1: is like seizing the moment. Like what athletes do you
Speaker 1: think of when it comes to seizing that chance? Because
Speaker 1: so many times I think my favorite are second and
Speaker 1: third chances. To me, I think one of your favorite quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: a guy you're watching on quarterback. When Baker Mayfield got
Speaker 1: that chance to start for the Rams that one game,
Speaker 1: what did that do? It reminded us that well too,
Speaker 1: He's a ball of two things can happen.
Speaker 2: Rich.
Speaker 1: I don't want to quote your pound, but Rich's friends
Speaker 1: with a major leaguer. I mean quote him if you
Speaker 1: want to, Buddy, he said, Jeff Soupon, say what he said?
Speaker 1: Jeff Soupon saying, like the trade deadline, in these moments,
Speaker 1: like you you could be in such a rhythm with
Speaker 1: you know, family teammates, National League versus americanly, you could
Speaker 1: feel comfortable more if you're in a good rhythm.
Speaker 2: It could throw off your rhythm and vice versa.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you could be off rhythm and then get traded
Speaker 1: all of a sudden you found your group again. I say.
Speaker 1: Even posted on on social media he said he was
Speaker 1: having a one of his best first halfs ever with
Speaker 1: the Pirates, got traded to the Red Sox of the
Speaker 1: deadline and just never really found his second half of
Speaker 1: the season groove because he went to the al new
Speaker 1: team sort of different role.
Speaker 2: But the flip could also happen.
Speaker 1: And you know that's what's interesting about this time of years,
Speaker 1: Like you're gonna see what players step up, which ones
Speaker 1: can't make the adjustment. How does the chemistry Danny g
Speaker 1: back to your Dodgers, Yeah, I.
Speaker 8: Mean like.
Speaker 1: Cra is going to be in the eights? Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: but hey, who knows. Maybe some of the minor rules
Speaker 1: they made changed to chemistry a little bit, but you
Speaker 1: never know.
Speaker 4: Remember when Blake Snell joined the Dodgers, his first comment was, Man,
Speaker 4: the chemistry of this team is crazy. It's the best chemistry,
Speaker 4: the best camaraderie I've ever been around in place.
Speaker 1: And you can I tell you, some guys could come
Speaker 1: on a team and be a lightning bolt and you
Speaker 1: could even feel it from day one. We talked about
Speaker 1: DB's Brewers yesterday that year when C. C. Sabbathia carried
Speaker 1: them to the playoffs and he seemed like the most
Speaker 1: unhittable guy ever.
Speaker 2: Yesterday, did you guys see a rise he got? He
Speaker 2: got a ribby, he turned first base.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was fired. I watched the nl Way more
Speaker 1: than the alb and a Mets fan, I seen that
Speaker 1: guy play a.
Speaker 2: Lot and Harper.
Speaker 1: He forced Brice Harper to get back into the outfield,
Speaker 1: and Harper had.
Speaker 2: A good game too. I've never seen a rise show
Speaker 2: that emotion. He turned to the dugout. His teammates were
Speaker 2: fired up, Like dude, it was awesome.
Speaker 1: So you're gonna see how people adjust on new teams,
Speaker 1: and how these teams adjust and how the chemistry either
Speaker 1: increases or decreases, and that's what makes it fine.
Speaker 2: I think TV has a quick update on the Chicago.
Speaker 1: Start thinking about seizing the moment. Seizing the moment like
Speaker 1: those second chances are just rising to the occasion. But
Speaker 1: an update from dB.
Speaker 7: Final sc are from Chicago's North side. Cubs seven, Dodgers six.
Speaker 2: Lost six in a row.
Speaker 1: The sky is falling, and we're going to Danny g
Speaker 1: for a quote.
Speaker 4: Cubs go, I liked it better when the Cubbies were
Speaker 4: lovable losers who never won.
Speaker 1: All right, Cubs going win today, Gold, Cubs go.
Speaker 2: All right, we get it. Danny's thinking, I really love
Speaker 2: I love l a more.
Speaker 1: You know what it's like though, And this is why
Speaker 1: I feel like emotional about these stories. It's like if
Speaker 1: you've ever gone through a breakup or a heartbreak or
Speaker 1: anything like that, right, you're going through misery. But guess
Speaker 1: what that next dude, he's on cloud nine. He's like
Speaker 1: the happiest dude. Yeah, and that's usually how and that's
Speaker 1: what happens. You know, you lose a job. Guess what,
Speaker 1: some other dude is so happy to get that job.
Speaker 1: Exactly what happened with Walby and Arbar Junior everything. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So you're your happiness sometimes or your unhappiness sometimes is
Speaker 1: leading to someone else's happiness. Well, we got more kivin
Speaker 1: one Rich and your calls and feedback next at eight, seven, seven,
Speaker 1: nine to nine on Fox. I just want to tell
Speaker 1: you what's coming up, please, right now, we're talking about
Speaker 1: against season the moment. No matter how you slice it
Speaker 1: or dice it, Anthony Vaulpi had his opportunities. And that's
Speaker 1: how you got to look at life like did you
Speaker 1: have a chance? Did you really? Did you get a
Speaker 1: fair chance? And they've abably got a fair chance and
Speaker 1: he got sent down. Someone else gets an opportunity, and
Speaker 1: George Lombard Junior in one game seems to be seasoned
Speaker 1: the moment. I think of this what it comes to like,
Speaker 1: even if you had a chance, you did something big,
Speaker 1: even if you didn't keep it, it might have led
Speaker 1: to something else like that. That's ever women, that's with sports,
Speaker 1: that's with your career or whatever it may be. Even
Speaker 1: so like, uh, Matt Flynn remember much like that Baker
Speaker 1: game on the Rams. Remember Matt Flynn played that one
Speaker 1: game for the Packers, like guy musted through for a
Speaker 1: thousand yards. It felt like he had the most miraculous
Speaker 1: and dB, your Seahawks give him a big deal that
Speaker 1: everyone's like really and then Russell Wilson ends up beating
Speaker 1: him out. But guess who gets to collect a lot
Speaker 1: of that money.
Speaker 2: Matt Flynn. Matt Flynn.
Speaker 1: So sometimes just take if you get a chance, go
Speaker 1: with it. Speaking of you know, Baker Mayfield and his
Speaker 1: quick run with you said that already, and I said
Speaker 1: Baker is the best example, because a great example. I
Speaker 1: also think of Jacob de Grom multiple Cy Young Award winner,
Speaker 1: who we thought might be moved at the deadline, but
Speaker 1: it decides to stay with the Rangers. They're in that
Speaker 1: Ao West race right now. But the gram was a
Speaker 1: spot starter. You can say golf. You know, even though
Speaker 1: he was always he was supposed to be the guy
Speaker 1: he's the more drift, but he stepped up with the Lions.
Speaker 1: I feel like we resurrected as his Oh yeah, he
Speaker 1: never career little bit, all right. I guess he didn't
Speaker 1: like that answer. Sorry, he was a number one draft pick.
Speaker 1: I was a starter himself in Detroit. I like how
Speaker 1: Detroit embrace them. Yeah, okay, but I'm talking about guys
Speaker 1: that like we're dis like like a guy like Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: who is nothing, but because he came in with his attitude,
Speaker 1: vibe and hair and mustache, like all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: he goes from like guys, this guy Gardner Minshew is
Speaker 1: doing a spot start quarterback because he had such a
Speaker 1: cool flare to him. All of a sudden he becomes
Speaker 1: your quintessential backup, like he's taking up the motorbacks. We're
Speaker 1: gonna talk Justin Herbert in a few minutes, and this
Speaker 1: has to do with PDA. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 1: Plus Mike's I keep wanting to say Mike's words of wisdom.
Speaker 1: Guys run out of those putting the dumb in wisdom. Uh,
Speaker 1: it's Mike who runs this take. He has a take
Speaker 1: about relationships. Plus Midweek Major, we might talk Steph Curry
Speaker 1: and Moore, But first and first, mostly you want to
Speaker 1: go to the man with the plan. His name is
Speaker 1: Dan dan Byer.
Speaker 2: Update.
Speaker 7: Let's go from PCA or from PDA to PCA today
Speaker 7: at Wrigley he is taking that pitch now over and.
Speaker 6: Over, deep drive to right, going back as Tucker get
Speaker 6: out to check mesro Longo.
Speaker 2: Dick Crow Armstrong a two run homer. Clubs laid five one.
Speaker 2: It was the second of the game in twenty six
Speaker 2: of the season.
Speaker 7: Cubs actually had a seven to one lead before the
Speaker 7: Dodgers rallied all the way back to get within one. However,
Speaker 7: the Cubs survived seven to six on the Cubs Radio Network.
Speaker 7: Dodgers have lost six straight. In the losing efforts. Shoe
Speaker 7: Hey Otani Homer twice for LA number twenty five and
Speaker 7: twenty six as well. On the season, Blue Jays beat
Speaker 7: the Astros and Extras five to four, while the Rangers
Speaker 7: blanked the Giants six nothing. Raised on top of the
Speaker 7: Rockies for nothing as they play in the top of
Speaker 7: the ninth inning in Denver. Some news on the Rams
Speaker 7: and Aaron Donald. Donald listed on the tryout list of
Speaker 7: the NFL today for the Rams. Adam Schefter of ESPN
Speaker 7: giving some clarity, we know Donald's been working out. Donald's
Speaker 7: been working out with the Rams. He wanted to do
Speaker 7: a workout with a helmet on that requires the Rams
Speaker 7: to list him as a tryout. He wanted to see
Speaker 7: how he would respond. But it does seem like things
Speaker 7: are getting closer and closer for Aaron Donald to make
Speaker 7: a return.
Speaker 2: So weird.
Speaker 1: Was it like yesterday and they say you wanted to
Speaker 1: pursue like a media like a career in media, and
Speaker 1: now he's practicing.
Speaker 7: I've just heard Sean McVay kind of tew the company line,
Speaker 7: maybe dance around a little bit of where he was
Speaker 7: working out, but because he was putting on a RAMS
Speaker 7: helmet today, they had to characterize that as a tryout.
Speaker 7: That It makes sense, wasn't it like a month ago?
Speaker 7: His wife said, this is news to me. Yeah, right,
Speaker 7: And here we are later, thirty five years old, with
Speaker 7: the It's just funny how it looked on the transaction
Speaker 7: list because Aaron Donald DT Pittsburgh tryout Rams, not three
Speaker 7: time Defensive Player of the Year, eight time First Team
Speaker 7: All Pro or Super Bowl champion.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Stefan Diggs has found a new home Washington Commanders, signing
Speaker 7: him to a one year deal worth twelve million dollars.
Speaker 7: It's his fourth team in as many seasons. Falcon j
Speaker 7: Edge rusher Jalen Walker is gonna miss all of this
Speaker 7: season because of a torn acl suffering camp yesterday. Chiefs
Speaker 7: have dropped the sponsorship name on their stadium. It will
Speaker 7: no longer be called Geha Field at Arrowhead Stadium. They're
Speaker 7: just calling it Arrowhead Stadium. Can They will continue to
Speaker 7: be a partner though with the sponsor Broncos, said coach
Speaker 7: Sean Payton said wide receiver Jalen Waddle should be okay
Speaker 7: after dealing with muscle tightness in practice.
Speaker 2: Today and two other notes.
Speaker 7: One in horse racing, Preakness Stakes is going to move
Speaker 7: a week later than the Kentucky Derby and actually be
Speaker 7: run on a Sunday. Livgolf says they have struck a
Speaker 7: deal with a lead investor that will keep the tour
Speaker 7: alive after twenty twenty six. In a statement, the tour
Speaker 7: said the players on Live will become the majority stakeholders
Speaker 7: of the tour. A deal could be finalized in September. Guys,
Speaker 7: back to you, thank you, dB.
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting? Danny your dude, Shoho Tani and
Speaker 1: PCA who Dan Bayer let us know hit two hole
Speaker 1: runs today. Their stats are as they said in one
Speaker 1: of my favorite movies, My cousin Vinny identical, almost identical.
Speaker 1: I mean they're both batting in between two eighty five
Speaker 1: and two ninety ish. Both have twenty four home runs
Speaker 1: and sixty five RBI versus sixty.
Speaker 2: Seven today, so they're up to both up to twenty six.
Speaker 2: Oh we get out so okay.
Speaker 1: So so when you look at those numbers, they are
Speaker 1: your top contenders for the MVP according to Las Vegas.
Speaker 1: But when you look at the league leaders, there's guys
Speaker 1: with plenty more home runs, guys with better batting averages,
Speaker 1: guys with more RBI to show hey being a pitcher,
Speaker 1: Will that cement him the MVP every year? Because if
Speaker 1: guys have similar stats to Atani, won't won't the deciding
Speaker 1: factor every single.
Speaker 2: Year be the pitches?
Speaker 1: It is what it is.
Speaker 2: What I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 1: The average player, if he ends the season batting thirty
Speaker 1: five runs, an extraordinary season, two out.
Speaker 2: Do o time. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I feel like if anyone, whether it's PCA or Matt
Speaker 1: Olson's got some great stats Schreber, you know, as you
Speaker 1: know a lot of home.
Speaker 4: Runs, imagine doing all that and then you have an
Speaker 4: eight and two record on the mound with a one
Speaker 4: point five.
Speaker 1: R exactly, it's hard to arny that you're more valuable.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue. I'm just saying I feel
Speaker 1: as though, unless Otani has such a down year, if
Speaker 1: he is in the conversation, yeah, no, you're not wrong.
Speaker 1: It's his because even if even if a Matt Olsen
Speaker 1: or a Schoreber or a PCA or someone had bet
Speaker 1: at two eighty forty something home runs one hundreds of
Speaker 1: other Ribbies, if Otani was even close to that. Oh,
Speaker 1: and he pitches, he will win every MVP while he
Speaker 1: plays baseball.
Speaker 2: Agreed.
Speaker 1: I agree with you. No one's debating that you can't
Speaker 1: be like but Schwebber's a great clubhouse gug like.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter, and you definitely can't give it to
Speaker 2: a DH.
Speaker 1: You can't get right, You can't get definitely DH when
Speaker 1: this guy's doing exactly So it's just man Otani, My goodness,
Speaker 1: Thank you dB, thank you fellas uh your feedback and calls.
Speaker 1: If you want to talk about seizing the moment, if
Speaker 1: you want to throw any others in there. To me,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of times it's quarterbacks or pictures that
Speaker 1: might get a spot start and it's like, Yo, this
Speaker 1: guy's way better than we thought, and now all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he's a permanent part of the rotation, right,
Speaker 1: seizing that moment. But you want to talk love birds,
Speaker 1: talk lovebirds. I think the world needs love. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: loves in the air man. So yeah, PC eight to PDA.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk some PDA for now.
Speaker 2: Just think about it.
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on public displays of affection? We'll
Speaker 1: get to it next. Hang tight, Hey, it's Rob Parker
Speaker 1: and Calvin Washington from The Odd Couple on Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 9: And in addition to hearing us live weeknights from seven
Speaker 9: to ten pm Eastern on Fox Sports Radio, we are
Speaker 9: excited to announce brand.
Speaker 1: New YouTube channel for the show. That's right, You can
Speaker 1: now watch The Odd Couple live on YouTube every day.
Speaker 9: All you gotta do search Odd Couple FSR on YouTube
Speaker 9: again YouTube, Just search Odd Couple FSR.
Speaker 1: Check us out on YouTube and subscribe.
Speaker 2: Cabino and Rich Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 1: We got Danny g we got Sam, we got Dan Meyer,
Speaker 1: we got midweek major coming up, and of course Mike
Speaker 1: who runs his take, So stick around for that. That's
Speaker 1: next hour. But it's all about seizing the moment, the day,
Speaker 1: the year, the month, the rest of the week. Just
Speaker 1: keep season stuff all right, and you know, take it
Speaker 1: out of sports and out of life. You get those opportunities,
Speaker 1: you got to capitalize. We saw George Lombard Junior do
Speaker 1: that with his opportunity at short stuff for the Yankees
Speaker 1: yesterday his debut. His parents were cheering. Everybody's I think
Speaker 1: two of our big takeaways from hour one where you
Speaker 1: putting out that for everyone, that's having their great moment,
Speaker 1: there is someone that's like really bummed about it because
Speaker 1: that was their lost opportunity. Like, yes, someone bumpy sitting
Speaker 1: somewhere in minor league baseball being like, maybe I'll get
Speaker 1: called back up. Meanwhile, on day one, his replacement looks
Speaker 1: lights out making diving catches. Yea, he was doing everything
Speaker 1: that Volpi just yeah, I didn't seem he was able
Speaker 1: to do, at least at that moment. But in TV
Speaker 1: or entertainment, it makes me think of those Steve Rkle moments. Right,
Speaker 1: he gets his opportunity to be the goofy neighbor and
Speaker 1: what does he do? He slays it And who did
Speaker 1: it before Erkele? Arthur Fonzarelli, our recent guest on Over
Speaker 1: promised Henry Winkler, like, these are guys that were supposed
Speaker 1: to be ancillary people, right, but they got their moment
Speaker 1: and owned it to the point where they couldn't be
Speaker 1: They stole the show. Yeah, they stole the show. They
Speaker 1: stole the scene, they couldn't be avoid and essentially stealing
Speaker 1: the show. Stealing the scene translates to sports, and another
Speaker 1: example would be one of my favorite shows back in
Speaker 1: the two thousands, how I met your mother. Neil Patrick
Speaker 1: Harris Barney Stinson was supposed to be an ancillary character
Speaker 1: and it ends up sees the moment steals the show.
Speaker 1: And the other point was in baseball, there's something very
Speaker 1: special about the debut because in football and basketball, it's
Speaker 1: always about the draft. Right, you get drafted early, you're
Speaker 1: making millions. That's when you hug and kiss the family. Baseball,
Speaker 1: you could be a first round pick and never see
Speaker 1: the field. So when you have that major league baseball
Speaker 1: debut and mom and dad are in the stands, something
Speaker 1: so magical about that that you don't even need to
Speaker 1: like the team and you can get a little emotional.
Speaker 1: Well before we go to the calls, question for you, Rich.
Speaker 2: Got any cheese?
Speaker 1: Please?
Speaker 6: Did I do that?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 2: Real quick? Real quick? Who we got? All right? Let's
Speaker 2: go to Austin and San Diego?
Speaker 1: Can you budge and wait for it?
Speaker 2: Darry? What's up? Hey? Rich? To me by you guys
Speaker 2: are amazing.
Speaker 1: I appreciate you taking the call. Thanks man.
Speaker 10: My season. The moment, I would say, justin Herbert when
Speaker 10: he got thrown in about ten minutes before kickoff, because
Speaker 10: I think the quarterback got a needle that was long
Speaker 10: and collapsed.
Speaker 1: I think it was Tyrod Taylor.
Speaker 11: I don't remember exactly who.
Speaker 1: What's funny?
Speaker 2: Bring Taylor? Funny?
Speaker 1: You bring up Justin Herbert because we're going to talk
Speaker 1: about him next, Yeah, next when we talk about love birds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, our boy James and Virginia wants to weigh in.
Speaker 2: Hey James, Oh, thank.
Speaker 10: You for taking my call. Gentlemen, Happy Wednesday.
Speaker 2: How you feeling about? How do you feeling about?
Speaker 9: You?
Speaker 2: Commanders? Are we look at ten and seven, seven and
Speaker 2: ten somewhere in between? What do you what are you thinking?
Speaker 10: If Jadon Daniels stays healthy, I think they can win
Speaker 10: the division. Man, this guy delivers the ball from the pocket.
Speaker 10: He should run and he makes plays outside of the pocket,
Speaker 10: but he wins inside of the pocket. Man, he delivers strut.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you that That's what I love about David,
Speaker 1: your commander's team. Is that one of those teams Danny
Speaker 1: g we need to take the next level dive on
Speaker 1: because I think I think they're one of the more
Speaker 1: confusing teams. Because two years ago, you like you know,
Speaker 1: they're in the NFC Championship game. They take a big
Speaker 1: step back last year. I don't know where they sit
Speaker 1: this year.
Speaker 4: Rich, once you start watching Quarterback on Netflix, also, we'll
Speaker 4: see what happened with Jaden Daniels.
Speaker 1: People start smart.
Speaker 2: So what's your what's your thoughts? Man? What's going on?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 10: So for me, man, okay, so I'm gonna just throw
Speaker 10: Timmy Smith watching the Redskins running back gets to start
Speaker 10: in the Super Bowl, Rusted for two hundred four yards.
Speaker 2: Huge play.
Speaker 10: But the two that I was calling in about that
Speaker 10: trump's all others that for at least for football.
Speaker 2: Kurt Warner with.
Speaker 10: The Rams in ninety nine, I mean, sting into a
Speaker 10: Hall of Fame career. And then of course let's sing
Speaker 10: go t B twelve man, I think the.
Speaker 6: A one one one.
Speaker 1: I mean Tom Brady sees the moment of all moments,
Speaker 1: became the go. He ended up seizing life after that.
Speaker 1: And Kurt Warner had a movie name you know about him.
Speaker 1: I mean, those are two great examples. More examples at
Speaker 1: Covino and Rich will talk justin Herbert.
Speaker 2: Next c and R.
Speaker 1: Big Mike and I were just saying, Ted Lasso my
Speaker 1: favorite fictional athlete other than wild Thing Rick Vaughan. You
Speaker 1: just like Ted Lasso because you look like him with
Speaker 1: a mustache. Shut your mouth. I think it's getting good reviews.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you. If you don't like Ted Lasso,
Speaker 2: I question your heart.
Speaker 1: Oh fighting word, I really do.
Speaker 2: It's getting better reviews than your Will Ferrell show.
Speaker 1: Well, I admit that the only thing cool about The Hawk,
Speaker 1: which I loved was the dope ass theme.
Speaker 2: Song The.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: I apologize for bringing that show. Ready to go.
Speaker 1: Danny g is on the phone today seven seven ninety
Speaker 1: nine on Fox. I was Sam this hour with Midweek Major.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go over the biggest stories in sports and
Speaker 1: pop culture and decide together are these stories Midweek or Major?
Speaker 1: We do that every midweek every Wednesday. Dan Byer's here
Speaker 1: with your updates. But before we get into Mike who
Speaker 1: runs his take? You know cold Stone?
Speaker 2: Mike? Who's you? Mike?
Speaker 1: You can see him. You actually could watch the show
Speaker 1: right now streaming live at Covino and RETREFSR.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 1: I had ice cream twice last week. We had our
Speaker 1: big uh, our nice little treat for our friends, a
Speaker 1: dairy Queen good. And then I took my daughter to
Speaker 1: Coldstone Creamery and I thought of Mike.
Speaker 2: Coldstone.
Speaker 1: Mike, Oh, you gotta get the cake batter one with
Speaker 1: the with the brownie. Well, before we get into Mike
Speaker 1: the Birthday Cake remix. I think it's called Oh. I
Speaker 1: just want to you know, I do want to get
Speaker 1: some Mike's idea or Mike's take on this too, before
Speaker 1: we get into it. I just want to let you
Speaker 1: know what else is coming up later on in the show.
Speaker 1: And we promised we talk about Justin Herbert. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: They're at training camp and Justin Herbert's there and I
Speaker 1: know what he's doing and having a picnic, doing stretches.
Speaker 1: He's on the floor smoochy. I'm just seeing pictures here.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen actual footage of this, but I'm seeing
Speaker 1: pictures of Justin Herbert and his new fiance again. Beautiful girl.
Speaker 1: I get it, And you break all the rules for
Speaker 1: beautiful women.
Speaker 2: We all do.
Speaker 1: We're suckers. But Madison Beer is there and she's on
Speaker 1: the field. I don't know if they're like, if he's
Speaker 1: serenading her, if he's playing guitar, if they're having a
Speaker 1: picnic drinking champagne, if she's helping him stretch. I can't
Speaker 1: tell what's happening. But she's on the field with the guy,
Speaker 1: and it looks like they're what are they called little
Speaker 1: nome kisses. Looks like they're a little snuggling up.
Speaker 2: There a problem with that?
Speaker 1: You know they're Yeah, but I don't know if that's
Speaker 1: politically correct. I don't know if you say, I don't
Speaker 1: think you can Inuit dancing? Who's offended?
Speaker 2: Kissed that? We don't kiss like that. I don't want to,
Speaker 2: they don't want to be Is that a true thing?
Speaker 2: Are you serious? Are you trolling me?
Speaker 12: No?
Speaker 1: Racist?
Speaker 2: The correct term is you can't say eskimo. You cannot
Speaker 2: eskimo is on the list of possibly offensive terms. It
Speaker 2: looks like if you and your buddy but the same girl,
Speaker 2: you're no longer brothers.
Speaker 1: Who knows the.
Speaker 2: We don't know the rules.
Speaker 1: We're just trying to be respectful, right, Things change and
Speaker 1: change as I'll tell you what I learned that it's
Speaker 1: a when my kids entered pre k t K. Now
Speaker 1: how you sit these days? Chris Cross apple sauce? Yeah,
Speaker 1: no more Indian style? Right? Did you see that clip
Speaker 1: of Keith Hernandez, one of my favorites. They talked about
Speaker 1: the Boston Braves on the Mets telecast last night. And
Speaker 1: Keith that's raving about how much he loved that logo.
Speaker 1: And it's like the very basist looking logo, right, and
Speaker 1: the guy grounds into a double play and Gary Cohen goes,
Speaker 1: thank God, that saved.
Speaker 2: Us from an awkward moment.
Speaker 1: Braves right, I'd say race depending on who you asked, right,
Speaker 1: some people may be proud of it.
Speaker 13: You know.
Speaker 2: I'll try to pull that clip later. So funny though.
Speaker 1: Now I'm looking at the picture here, there's a picture
Speaker 1: again of Madison Beer and Justin Herbert at Chargers training camp.
Speaker 1: Looks like she's fixing his hair like he wears that
Speaker 1: thing in his hair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're both running their hands through each other.
Speaker 1: Use of the word canoodling. Toodling at training camp on
Speaker 1: the field. Now, dude, new love is great. Young love
Speaker 1: is great. I'm not hating on their love. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is there's a time and place for renegades, and
Speaker 1: there's a time and place for canoodling. And I'm not
Speaker 1: sure training camp, even though she's Madison Beer, is that
Speaker 1: place I have a girlfriend? Has she ever been here
Speaker 1: when we're on the air fixing my hair? Think about it?
Speaker 1: Think about that? Because rich is all about it to
Speaker 1: your hair. That is true, not even my girlfriend. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about PDA?
Speaker 2: Even worse PDA at the workplace? Ice?
Speaker 1: That's how I look at it, all right, let's let's
Speaker 1: put that on. Think about it, let it simmer. Look
Speaker 1: up the picture we're talking about. I'm gonna think about it,
Speaker 1: and you know what I'm also gonna look up for
Speaker 1: later that Keith and anders Cliff.
Speaker 2: I think you guys will find it very well. Let's
Speaker 2: go to Mike. It's time for his take.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Microphone Assassin.
Speaker 2: It's time for Mike who runs this take?
Speaker 14: Who?
Speaker 7: Big Mike may get to be in charge of the segment,
Speaker 7: but he still doesn't run this place. He really doesn't
Speaker 7: even run this segment when you think about it, because
Speaker 7: this Mike can be turned off by Sam at any moment.
Speaker 5: It may be true, but Big Mike does get to
Speaker 5: pick the topic and then CNR offer their strong opinions
Speaker 5: on it. Consider it a warm up to Midweek Mature Mike,
Speaker 5: who runs this take?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 1: Mike Coldstone? Mike, what's up?
Speaker 2: Mike? Hello, gentlemen, how are you good to see you?
Speaker 2: What's up? Man?
Speaker 3: Here?
Speaker 1: Orry for my strong opinion?
Speaker 2: What'd you take man. Yeah, all right, you're here to
Speaker 2: get it a little warm and get some warm up in. Yeah.
Speaker 2: So today we are talking about relationship and or dating
Speaker 2: advice not always the same. They can be the same
Speaker 2: with dating and being in a relationship can be two
Speaker 2: different things. So I pulled a clip that I would
Speaker 2: like to play for you, a famous piece of dating advice.
Speaker 2: What's the door?
Speaker 13: All right?
Speaker 2: Listen to me.
Speaker 13: You'll pull up right where she is right, So you
Speaker 13: get out of the car. You lock both doors. Then
Speaker 13: you get out of the car. You walk over the
Speaker 13: hub and bring her over to the car. You take
Speaker 13: out the key, put in the lock, open the door
Speaker 13: for hug. Then you let her get in. Then you
Speaker 13: close the door phill. Then you walk around the back
Speaker 13: of the car. You look through the rear window. If
Speaker 13: she doesn't reach over, lift up that button for you
Speaker 13: so you can get in.
Speaker 2: Pump, just like that.
Speaker 13: Listen to me, kid, if she doesn't reach over, lift
Speaker 13: up that button for you so you can get in.
Speaker 13: That means she's a selfish broad and all you've seen
Speaker 13: is the tip of the iceberg. You dump, but you
Speaker 13: dump a fast.
Speaker 1: That's the dumper fast from a broxtail classic. I'm a
Speaker 1: fan of the Mario test though. Remember the Mario Test.
Speaker 1: The Mario Test, Yeah, that was from the s from
Speaker 1: the movie Your Uncle. There was another story from the
Speaker 1: film called the Mario Test. The Mario Test is how
Speaker 1: Mary went through all that effort to find the princess
Speaker 1: and the castle, and you trid moron. It involves driving
Speaker 1: up next to a truck and if she continues, ah Mario.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the door test is a classic movie example
Speaker 1: of great love advice for sure. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I watched that movie with my daughter recently. Still holds up.
Speaker 1: It's it's sure better.
Speaker 2: It's a period piece, so a lot of period pieces
Speaker 2: will hold up bronxtail.
Speaker 1: So Mike, pose the question for the millions that could
Speaker 1: possibly be listening right now.
Speaker 2: I want to hear your best advice. What like we

Speaker 2: Like that, something like that, you gotta learn how to
Speaker 2: seem to say we ended.
Speaker 1: Up breaking up, but true story. And he said something
Speaker 1: very specific, but I'll never forget it.
Speaker 2: And I was like, man, gross special, more information than
Speaker 2: I needed from a random Oh dude, I'll never forget it.
Speaker 2: Had a good night fell asip. Okay, I will take
Speaker 2: that to it didn't work. Maybe you just weren't doing it.
Speaker 1: I never came through.
Speaker 2: Maybe you just weren't doing it right.
Speaker 1: But your your best truth And all these are relations Mike,
Speaker 1: I'm specializing in relationship advice. Okay, I got five of them.
Speaker 1: Oh gee, this is a relationship expert. You don't get
Speaker 1: ahead it says it on his business car. You know,
Speaker 1: I probably as usual hijacking my segment, Mike, I know
Speaker 1: significantly more about dating than sports. I'm very well capable
Speaker 1: doing like a relationship show.
Speaker 2: This is your podcast.
Speaker 1: Then again, you haven't been single on a long ass time.
Speaker 1: Don't you know how to keep relationship?
Speaker 2: Do you pick your one or two best ones? I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know the world of app dating and all
Speaker 1: that now. But nothing dynamics between men and women and
Speaker 1: gay couples and anything. It's still the same, like nothing changes,
Speaker 1: just different paths. Right, These are quickies, Mike, so I
Speaker 1: can give you all five.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: I think early on in a relation ship you need
Speaker 1: to go to a comedy club with someone. You need
Speaker 1: to see what she laughs at, because if she doesn't
Speaker 1: laugh at sophomore jokes or any type of naughty jokes,
Speaker 1: you might be If the comedian tells a naughty joke
Speaker 1: and she's like, eh, maybe she's not for you, and
Speaker 1: you might immediately be like, then we're not Like if
Speaker 1: those type of jokes make her go oh, then not
Speaker 1: for me?
Speaker 2: Well what if what if they make you go too? Not?
Speaker 1: Yeah, you are on the stand not for Rich, but
Speaker 1: maybe for somebody else. Right, Rule number two. Things that
Speaker 1: make you go, things that make you go. You got
Speaker 1: to that football, than things that make you go. You
Speaker 1: gotta take a girl.
Speaker 2: Cleaning everything up. Never do that again. I think we
Speaker 2: should that.
Speaker 1: Actually, you know how many people listening right now just
Speaker 1: pulled over and vomited. I just dumped out a lot
Speaker 1: of content you tell me to I'm gonna dum whether
Speaker 1: you're joking or not, vomits all over this place. I
Speaker 1: think you have to take a girl to Teppanyaki hibachi,
Speaker 1: and when the hibachi chef goes around and he tries
Speaker 1: to see if someone wants to catch the little cut
Speaker 1: up piece of vegetable or the shrimp, if a girl's
Speaker 1: like no, I look at that as like you're not
Speaker 1: fun enough to be with me.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: It's it's an indicator of like she's not fun. You're
Speaker 1: on a date, and Rich wants to know if she
Speaker 1: likes zucchini or not. That's what it is.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 2: I really just want to know are you are you fun?
Speaker 1: If a girl, if anyone at the hibachi tables like
Speaker 1: if you don't like shrimp riches not dating, but it's
Speaker 1: never shrimp, it's you know, it's always I know what
Speaker 1: you're getting at, Like, do they are they going to
Speaker 1: be played for? Are they gonna be fun? Are they
Speaker 1: gonna be willing to again match rich? Rich is the
Speaker 1: type of guy on vacation when they say do we
Speaker 1: have any volunteers?
Speaker 2: Rich is the guy? So you know, so motor skills.
Speaker 1: It's a matter of what's a priority to you. But
Speaker 1: these are good tests. I need, I think before you
Speaker 1: take make someone very seriously, you need to see all
Speaker 1: her friends, because I made the mistake once of dating
Speaker 1: a good looking girl and then seeing like she was
Speaker 1: a good looking girl amongst a posse of like models,
Speaker 1: and I would have chosen differently, all her friends first,
Speaker 1: very always see her friends first. You might want to
Speaker 1: preface that if you were twenty something when you thought this, Hell,
Speaker 1: I mean I was twenty something. I mean, what are
Speaker 1: we doing next? One, I'd say that's fair, because you
Speaker 1: don't want to be sure you're not in love with
Speaker 1: one of her friends exactly. Yeah, Okay, don't make that
Speaker 1: decision until you know you see all her friends first.
Speaker 2: This is this is riches. These are riches. I just
Speaker 2: want to make sure, everybody, this is all rich.
Speaker 1: I once told someone told me this once and it
Speaker 1: stuck with me. You know, people love to be like
Speaker 1: you know, imeragine, relationships are really hard. I don't think
Speaker 1: they should be. I've been in hard relationships. If you're
Speaker 1: with someone that you clicked the right way, of course
Speaker 1: you're going to have your little battles and struggles. But
Speaker 1: I don't think marriage should be hard. I think marriage
Speaker 1: should be two people that are teammates, that are really
Speaker 1: really working towards a goal, and most of the time
Speaker 1: you get along. If you if you look at like
Speaker 1: your data deck, marriage is tough, why would you want
Speaker 1: to be in that? I don't think marriage should be hard.
Speaker 1: I think marriag should be.
Speaker 2: If I may, yes, life is hard enough, your marriage
Speaker 2: should not contribute to that. It should help the hardships
Speaker 2: that you're going through and should be able to support
Speaker 2: each other when things get different, you support each other.
Speaker 2: But the idea of like marriage is hard, like I
Speaker 2: don't I already have a job. I don't you know,
Speaker 2: I already have other responsibilities. My marriage should be something
Speaker 2: that brings me joy, and my wife brings me joy. Okay,
Speaker 2: So I don't think the whole marriage is hard to
Speaker 2: deal with it.
Speaker 1: Last one, Mike Rich has lots of right, I only
Speaker 1: wrote one down rich Rich says he has a thing
Speaker 1: on his wall, says bring me joy and bring me coffee.
Speaker 1: Woman prepared to lack of Cavino questions, have one of
Speaker 1: your hot friends do it? Covino questioned whether he's like,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you prep enough? And now I
Speaker 1: prep and know what does he do?
Speaker 2: He yells at me.
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything. Max said, you're taking over his take.
Speaker 1: Happy wife, happy life is a terrible phrase.
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: It's just rhymes.
Speaker 2: I agree with you. It's there's another one that.
Speaker 1: Happy spouse, happy house. You need to make each other
Speaker 1: happy and make yourself happy. Sure, because the happy man
Speaker 1: that's the plan. See that yourselfish the other way. But
Speaker 1: I'm saying I hate that. I hate that when some
Speaker 1: some old guy inevitably stands up at a wedding could.
Speaker 2: Have the microphone Uncle link everyone in here. I just
Speaker 2: want to give advice to the newly reads. Dylan, you
Speaker 2: don't what they say, happy wife, happy life, no lame.
Speaker 2: I worry about her happiness, but you got to worry
Speaker 2: about yours.
Speaker 1: Rich has a sign in his kitchen and says happy dude, make.
Speaker 2: Me food Woman. Woman. All of a sudden, Rich has
Speaker 2: that sign happen. Sound I have a sign that says
Speaker 2: live life, love woman. I'm done. I want to hear
Speaker 2: from single boy Sam. You're anything. Sam.
Speaker 8: I'd say I'm not a single, first of all, but
Speaker 8: I would just say, yeah, I mean you're not married.
Speaker 2: I'm not married, but that's also not single.
Speaker 1: Yeah, technically you're you're you know, legally legally legally single.
Speaker 2: Sure.
Speaker 8: I would just for me personally, like if I have
Speaker 8: to alter my behavior around someone, then they're not right
Speaker 8: for me. Like if if I just want to be
Speaker 8: myself crazy once, if I feel like I'm I'm having
Speaker 8: to entertain somebody or just worry about what they're thinking
Speaker 8: and stuff like natural moments should just come to you
Speaker 8: both and if you're both enjoying, you know, moments as
Speaker 8: they come.
Speaker 2: In line with the advice I'm going to give you.
Speaker 1: And a few minutes I was saying, that is a
Speaker 1: really good one, because I know what I love about
Speaker 1: you Sam as a friend. I love how like when
Speaker 1: we hang and have a barbecue or something like. I
Speaker 1: love when Sam is unleashed and very comfortable like in
Speaker 1: my house, like like like you're authentic and you and I, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's so great when you could be yourself around someone
Speaker 1: and not be guarded, like I hope she doesn't judge
Speaker 1: you by blaying.
Speaker 8: You might meet someone who you're you're really into, and
Speaker 8: you're like worried that one misstep might cost you the relationship,
Speaker 8: and I don't think that's healthy. I think you you
Speaker 8: you want to be yourself and then they know you're
Speaker 8: comfortable and confident.
Speaker 2: To be fair, Sam, I'm not sure you know how
Speaker 2: to do anything other than be exactly who you are.
Speaker 1: So and that wasn't always the case with me. I
Speaker 1: had to come at two years to kind of come
Speaker 1: out of my shelf.
Speaker 2: Danny G what you got?
Speaker 4: I would say for dating advice, I'll put it in
Speaker 4: sports terms. When you're first hanging out with a little hottie,
Speaker 4: don't play press coverage, like play zone way off the ball, like,
Speaker 4: be confident, show interest, and be thoughtful at all that.
Speaker 4: But don't put too much pressure on the person you
Speaker 4: want to get with, because if you think about all
Speaker 4: the other guys who are way too much in or
Speaker 4: kool aid, you'll stand out by being more relaxed.
Speaker 2: You gotta let her come to you.
Speaker 8: Yes, And I feel like that that applies though to
Speaker 8: especially people dating today, because you gets so easily to
Speaker 8: get easy to like get ghosted for maybe being a
Speaker 8: little bit overbearing.
Speaker 2: But the opposite applies. What did the opposite apply? Also?
Speaker 1: Where remember when we were youngsters, if you were dating
Speaker 1: in high school and college in the nineties and two thousands,
Speaker 1: remember the movie Swingers, Like the three day roll. If
Speaker 1: you wait three days to hit up someone, now they're
Speaker 1: onto like the next person.
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about it. Somebody change.
Speaker 1: I'm surprised Rich didn't say this one because it is
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and we say it all the time.
Speaker 1: You got to date someone like a full calendar year
Speaker 1: to see how their habits change, Like can they put
Speaker 1: up with your your football habits? You know when you're
Speaker 1: in front of the TV for six months straight? Like
Speaker 1: that's one thing I just said that. When we were
Speaker 1: on the East Coast, I would say, like, you need
Speaker 1: to know how they I hate to use the words
Speaker 1: summer as a verb, but like, are they the girl
Speaker 1: that's like I'm in a beach club every weekend. I'm
Speaker 1: going to the Hampton's or Jersey Shore, Like, what's your
Speaker 1: summer like? And in the fall? Are you cool that
Speaker 1: every Saturday and Sunday? Like Kevino said, are you cool that?
Speaker 1: Like we're sort of locked into football?
Speaker 2: Like right?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Yeah, like you don't if you're a big time sports lover,
Speaker 1: it's part of your deal or into whatever recreation it is.
Speaker 2: And they're not.
Speaker 1: That's a bit of a conflict something you should know.
Speaker 1: And as a guy that's been through a divorce and
Speaker 1: I'm not bitter, I'm better, I'd like to say that
Speaker 1: good therapy talk. Yes, two things that stand out. You
Speaker 1: got to make sure they vibe with your family. Number
Speaker 1: one and again that could change, so there's no guarantee,
Speaker 1: but it's important, uh because that could be sticky icky
Speaker 1: And how did they fight? Did they move on and apologize?
Speaker 1: And by guns or bygones? And they say terribly mean
Speaker 1: things really good, Like if you see that they could
Speaker 1: fly off the handle and say mean things.
Speaker 2: That you're seeing who they really are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like that's kind of hard to move past.
Speaker 2: That's really goes on. Damn byer you got anything? Yeah,
Speaker 2: just don't date crazy? Yah, date crazy? That might be
Speaker 2: the most tocincting. And yeah, maybe people may think it's
Speaker 2: fun and exciting at first. Yeah for sure.
Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not pointing. I'm not pointing fingers. But there's
Speaker 1: someone I know, yeah, very closely for twenty plus years
Speaker 1: that I think sometimes confused like crazy with like exciting
Speaker 1: and the passion.
Speaker 2: Like I'll tell you the girl I do might have kids.
Speaker 1: Podcast with the call, she openly talks about how her
Speaker 1: and her husband she seems like a real pain the ass,
Speaker 1: Like she'll fight about something and like two days later
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm still mad at him about that. Thank god, wife,
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're short term memory. Like, hey, I always say,
Speaker 1: like we have two kids, we have work, with things
Speaker 1: going on, I don't have time to keep a silly fight.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, like I guess what, I'm sorry you over it.
Speaker 2: I'm over it.
Speaker 1: Like if it's a real problem, will address it, but
Speaker 1: like silly things to be mad at for days at
Speaker 1: a time. The best piece of dating or relationship advice
Speaker 1: you've ever been given, Mike, what.
Speaker 2: Do you go?
Speaker 13: I am?
Speaker 2: I am going to give you the definitive And it
Speaker 2: is a very specific piece of advice, and it does
Speaker 2: incorporate a lot of the stuff that you guys are
Speaker 2: talking about. I think the biggest issue most people have
Speaker 2: in a relationship is the incessant need to please the
Speaker 2: other person, to put your best foot forward, which means
Speaker 2: you never find out what where their freakery is, right,
Speaker 2: because it's not about whether they are a freak or
Speaker 2: they're not a freak. We're all freaks. We're all weirdos
Speaker 2: in our own special way. What you need to do
Speaker 2: is find out what that weirdoness is, what's that freakery is,
Speaker 2: to see if you're compatible in the screen. That's not
Speaker 2: whether you're my fly match her fly exactly. So, so
Speaker 2: my advice is, go to Vegas, go to Atlantic City,
Speaker 2: Go somewhere where there's going to be excessive partying going on.
Speaker 2: You are going to lose your inhibitions. You are going
Speaker 2: to say the stupid crap, it's all going to come out.
Speaker 2: You see me in Vegas, right, Atlantic City, whatever it.
Speaker 3: Is, don't go to Atlantic City. That place is awful. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you got you have a good point. But the whole,
Speaker 3: the whole idea is to get past the best foot
Speaker 3: forward stage and find the reality and and learn if
Speaker 3: you if that's something you can handle. Is that something
Speaker 3: you're going to be able to deal with?
Speaker 14: Do you?
Speaker 2: Like Steve was saying earlier, how do how do you fight?
Speaker 2: Do you can you can you actually have a fight
Speaker 2: and get over it and get past it? Or are
Speaker 2: you just are they just mean just mean? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And you know what, before we get to the feedback,
Speaker 1: it's about advice, right, I think you have to be
Speaker 1: receptive to advice and taking advice and constantly working to
Speaker 1: be better in relationships. And not to tie it back
Speaker 1: to sports, but we were talking about Anthony Valpi before.
Speaker 1: One of the biggest criticisms was that he never reached
Speaker 1: out or got any advice from Derek Cheeter none.
Speaker 2: And I've seen interviews with Cheeter where he's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: Volpie's never reached out.
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, no, I don't really know him that well. Like,
Speaker 1: you have a guide that could give you so much
Speaker 1: advice on how to succeed in New York and you
Speaker 1: never took advice from the guy. So you got to
Speaker 1: look at people who are doing it right. You know, Mike,
Speaker 1: how long have you been married now?
Speaker 2: Twenty six years?
Speaker 1: You know, my parents have been married fifty years. And
Speaker 1: you got to listen to the things they say. Be
Speaker 1: willing to be receptive to that advice. Rich has been
Speaker 1: in a happy marriage now for man, how many years now,
Speaker 1: Rich fifteen fifteen years? So the best relationship advice you've
Speaker 1: ever been given? Your phone calls. We'll take a few now, right, Dan,
Speaker 1: get a.
Speaker 2: Fire quickly here. Brandon in Missouri, what's your advice?
Speaker 12: Bud uh Yeah, from my rest and peace my grandpa Art.
Speaker 5: I think it works for a lot of things.
Speaker 10: But we were talking about my girlfriend a long time ago.

Speaker 1: before we go to dB for an update, I didn't
Speaker 1: want to play that Keith had Dad this clip from
Speaker 1: the game when I told you he brought up the
Speaker 1: Boston Braves and how he loved the logo. But that
Speaker 1: logo is known as one of the very racist looking.
Speaker 1: So take a listen to this great out of the
Speaker 1: Mets game Yesday with Steve Cohen.
Speaker 7: An early sixties going to Milwaukee Braves with the yeah
Speaker 7: screaming the screaming Indians.
Speaker 2: That was a great logo I love.
Speaker 1: Some people might not think, so send me with the
Speaker 1: toss to Lindora and on the first for the.
Speaker 5: Four six three double play, which saves us from that
Speaker 5: awkward conversation. Oh it's not awkward at all after four bets,
Speaker 5: five guardians.
Speaker 2: It's good conversation.
Speaker 1: Conversation, just typical, typical typical Keith, ha Dad, this, We're
Speaker 1: gonna give you some time.
Speaker 2: I was Sam. It's Wednesday, which means we're in the
Speaker 2: middle of the week, mid week.
Speaker 14: Major come on, Covino and Rich, get you over the
Speaker 14: middle of the week when mid Week Major Major. Oh,
Speaker 14: I love that we throw sports and pop culture headlines
Speaker 14: and topics at the fellas, and it's like the kids.
Speaker 2: Say, that's summit.
Speaker 1: We definitely here.
Speaker 5: See it our scoring mid week major.
Speaker 2: Ah yeah, you do. Hear those horns.
Speaker 4: That means you've made it right through the middle of
Speaker 4: the work week before we hand things over to Iowa Samuel,
Speaker 4: Let's roll those two big red love DICE's.
Speaker 2: Me eight nine nine eight you got nine nine oh Rich,
Speaker 2: let's go all right, he gets first taken.
Speaker 4: Now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Brian
Speaker 4: Bell Ofweezer from Iowa City, Iowa, Iowa SAMs zero city.
Speaker 8: All right, guys, we go from a fun and laughing
Speaker 8: and dancing to a somber story here. How would you
Speaker 8: like to lose your job as a college basketball play
Speaker 8: by play announcer or color commentator because you game for
Speaker 8: the previous coaching staff.
Speaker 1: Doesn't sound very fun, does it.
Speaker 14: Oh?
Speaker 8: That's exactly what happened to Kevin Collins and Josh Moore,
Speaker 8: who served as Boston College's radio team for the past
Speaker 8: nine seasons. Colin had been with the BC men's basketball
Speaker 8: radio team for the past thirteen seasons. Colin games for
Speaker 8: the previous three head coaches and working under five athletics
Speaker 8: director directors. But this past March, incomes Luke Murray, a
Speaker 8: former assistant at Yukon. He's also Bill Murray's son, Oh,
Speaker 8: to take over the BC head coaching job, and he
Speaker 8: decides he doesn't want anyone around his program associated with
Speaker 8: the previous regime. So late July comes Kevin Collins and
Speaker 8: Josh Moore are let go Collins. Colin's sold awful, announcing
Speaker 8: he knew something something was up when the new coaching
Speaker 8: staff was dodging him in marr and they could not
Speaker 8: get any kind of meeting or sit down with Coach Murray.
Speaker 1: Out with the old in with the new Midweek or
Speaker 1: major mitt The only thing major about this that's so
Speaker 1: mad Bill Murray's kid.
Speaker 2: It's lessen.
Speaker 1: People get fired when they sam You've worked in radio
Speaker 1: long enough, right A new program director comes in, a
Speaker 1: new boss, they change the morning show with the whole staff,
Speaker 1: you know, new sales rep comes in. They fire the
Speaker 1: people onto them if they don't like it.
Speaker 8: If you don't see the problem with this, This is
Speaker 8: this is a radio team that this never happens. The
Speaker 8: radio team is not a part of the program. They're
Speaker 8: hired by the university and they want to call winning basketball.
Speaker 9: Now.
Speaker 1: I know I don't want to take too much from
Speaker 1: this story, but to me, this really rubbed me the
Speaker 1: wrong way.
Speaker 2: I know, I get what you're saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, what does the radio team have to do?
Speaker 1: They have nothing to do with how whether the team
Speaker 1: succeeds or fails the game. I agree, but I just
Speaker 1: feel like, unfortunately, whatever the reason is, radio people, TV hosts,
Speaker 1: you know, people get let go all the time. It's
Speaker 1: the weakest reason that with new start they don't want
Speaker 1: anyone associated with the all the same major. You know what,
Speaker 1: I agree with everything, rich set. We always see people
Speaker 1: bringing in their own people. Anytime there's a new boss,
Speaker 1: they what do they do? What Scott Farrell talks about,
Speaker 1: They shake it up and they bring in their own people.
Speaker 1: But the radio crew has nothing to do with winning basket.
Speaker 1: That'll be like that would be like they'd be like
Speaker 1: Michael Ka getting the boot because there's a new Yankees manager.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it makes no sense.
Speaker 1: I would say you know, in a world where radio
Speaker 1: jobs are hard to come by, more than ever before,
Speaker 1: and it's it ever changing landscape. You know, you got
Speaker 1: a gig. This is one of the weakest ways to
Speaker 1: lose one. It's like, what are we gonna have to
Speaker 1: do with that?
Speaker 8: I agree with that, yeah, yeah, and sports media Twitter
Speaker 8: was ablaze with that story a few nights ago. All right,
Speaker 8: let's press on something a little happier. This event certainly
Speaker 8: snuck up on me, guys. I'll be gone this time
Speaker 8: next week in Philadelphia, so I won't have another chance
Speaker 8: to report on it.
Speaker 2: Excuse me how to clear my throat there?
Speaker 1: But the Field of Dreams Game is back this August thirteenth.
Speaker 2: It's snuck up on us.
Speaker 1: I love it.
Speaker 8: It'll be the Phillies and the Twins in Dyersville, Iowa
Speaker 8: on a busy Thursday of baseball mini games going on
Speaker 8: the day, and this game will be broadcast on Netflix Netflix.
Speaker 8: It's the first Field of Dreams games since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 8: The event started in twenty twenty one. I was there
Speaker 8: by the way, but has been on hiatus for the
Speaker 8: past three years for development and construction at the site.
Speaker 1: Field of Dreams Game is back midweek or Major Major?
Speaker 2: Love it, Sam, I'm jealous you at one. In fact,
Speaker 2: I want to give me the ten second summary. How
Speaker 2: was it? It was amazing? You know, are you events
Speaker 2: first one? Right?
Speaker 1: The vibes were immaculate. I love what MLB thinks outside
Speaker 1: the box and does stuff like this, So I think
Speaker 1: it's Major. Twins Phillies. Hey, I thought if I was
Speaker 1: a Twins fan like our boss, I would try to go.
Speaker 1: If I'm a Phillies fan, I try to go absolutely Major.
Speaker 1: I think you're such a special game, special night. It's
Speaker 1: special for the players. You could feel it, and you
Speaker 1: got some big time stars. You got a rise now
Speaker 1: fired up to be part of that team. You got
Speaker 1: Harper in the outfield. The Twins are hot. Well, the
Speaker 1: Twins are decent.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I asked the bus was going. He said no. But
Speaker 1: if you can make that, I think you make it.
Speaker 1: And it's always fun to watch. It's like one of
Speaker 1: the random times you'll watch two teams you don't necessarily
Speaker 1: care that much about.
Speaker 8: Yeah, for sure, I'm wondering after the first two times
Speaker 8: and then they had the hiatus of a few years,
Speaker 8: like if they do this every year, will people be
Speaker 8: like excited about the way were the one.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 1: I think if they switch the teams, yes, I feel
Speaker 1: like gives If the Mets were in it, I'd be like, oh,
Speaker 1: I want to go?
Speaker 8: Yeah, you want to go out to Dires, which is
Speaker 8: basically a giant cornfield out in the middle of I
Speaker 8: love it.
Speaker 1: I'd go regardless of who's playing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, very cool. All right, let's move on this
Speaker 2: one here quickly.
Speaker 8: A Green Bay defensive star Micah Parsons, met with the
Speaker 8: media on Tuesday, and he let us know that we
Speaker 8: shouldn't worry about the knee he's still rehabbing, but rather
Speaker 8: how ferocious the beast in him will be will be
Speaker 8: when he returns to the field.
Speaker 2: Have a listen to this audio.
Speaker 11: You know that's kind of like my mentality and how
Speaker 11: I feel and how I'm going to approach when I'm back.
Speaker 11: Is like people are worried about the knee. They should
Speaker 11: be worried about how I'm going to play when I
Speaker 11: get the anger, the frustration, the things that I'm not
Speaker 11: to let out because you know how long it's been
Speaker 11: since I played. So I think that's what people should
Speaker 11: really worry about, Like how great is Mikey going to
Speaker 11: be when it gets back. Not about one I get back,
Speaker 11: because that's the that's the short term. It's about how
Speaker 11: great I'm gonna be hot, and how my teammates and
Speaker 11: you know, how far we're going to go into a playoff.
Speaker 8: Un he didn't deliver that with a whole of energy,
Speaker 8: But like after that, I expect for sacks, seven tackles,
Speaker 8: for lost interception and forced fumble from MICHAEH.
Speaker 2: Parsons.
Speaker 1: Where's my music? Can we tell you Sam week as
Speaker 1: could be? You can't talk about how you got the
Speaker 1: and talk in the most subdued, lame manner. Michael Parsons
Speaker 1: is a beast, but you can't come on a microphone
Speaker 1: and be like.
Speaker 8: You know, guys is, don't worry about my knee. There's
Speaker 8: a beast and side worry about when I'm on the field,
Speaker 8: I'm gonna kill people. Give me some diam enthusiasm.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I completely agree with Rich. I'll say Mid because
Speaker 1: what he was yeah, match, what he was saying was meaningful,
Speaker 1: but his vibe and his tone, his laid back attitude
Speaker 1: didn't match that at all. Yeah, So you know, therefore, Mid,
Speaker 1: you're gonna say something like that bring some gusto. All right,
Speaker 1: that's all I got. That's all she wrote, Thank you, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was Samuel l great job. You uh ready to
Speaker 1: watch your Yankees tonight?
Speaker 2: Or what I am? You don't watch Ted Lasso?
Speaker 1: No, I watched Ted when you watch Kate?
Speaker 4: Rich stopped trying to distract with the fact that you
Speaker 4: have not watched Quarterback on Netflix and you've you've been
Speaker 4: saying for three weeks on the show, now that you're
Speaker 4: you're gonna watch it.
Speaker 2: Oh, tonight's the night.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we even had showtime a home stop by this week.
Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell fire up for Quarterback Tomorrow the
Speaker 1: NFL officially starts. It is your preseason Hall of Fame game.
Speaker 1: Got rid of everybody? Football season started?
Speaker 2: You know. I bet Rich is gonna say he's gonna
Speaker 2: start watching it tonight.
Speaker 1: I think tonight is when I'm gonna start. I'm meeting
Speaker 1: I'm meeting a friend for dinner. I gotta I gotta
Speaker 1: drive like an hour in traffic, now I know. But
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go get dinner with an old school palate.
Speaker 1: Then I'm gonna head home, hopefully the kids are sleeping
Speaker 1: by then. And I think I'm gonna pour meself, drink,
Speaker 1: watch some quarterback because tomorrow starts the NFL. I think
Speaker 1: no better timing, Danny, you're gonna put yourself a Wednesday
Speaker 1: night cocktail. Interesting, didn't testing kind of drink like a
Speaker 1: TC drink or something. Oh ray, he's California sober. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I still drink, but I
Speaker 1: don't want to hang over tomorrow. It's one of those
Speaker 1: little must buzz.
Speaker 2: I can wait. We have preseason NFL tomorrow. I can't wait.
Speaker 1: You you know now, you know you love the NFL
Speaker 1: so much that it's Cardinals Panthers backup players and you're like, I'm.
Speaker 2: Gonna watch still hype. That's how you know we love
Speaker 2: the NFL.
