Speaker 1: Show hay Otani.

00:02:15
Speaker 2: Every Thursday, we throw it back and we do something called old school Win fifty hits and super producer Danny g reminded us sent us a cool meme that today is National Boss's Day. So that could be in sports managers. People that come to mind for you, could be in life, could be your story, real life, fiction, it doesn't matter. It could be ones that just stand out when you think of boss, you think of who Boss?

00:02:36
Speaker 1: HOWK? Yeah?

00:02:37
Speaker 2: Boss tweet? No Ike of Bruce Springsteen, the Boss? Can I tell you it's It's funny. You haven't even mentioned it on or off the area yet. In the world of sports, rest in peace the Boss. George Steinbrenner the most demanding eye roll. Ye, you know, I feel like there was a time in our childhood where depending on the conversation he had, he would hire and fire Billy Martin and Lou Panella back and forth. Yeah, you know what, that might be the number one answer on the board when it comes to sports bosses, right, turtleneck. Well, doctor Jerry buss A is a close one up there, doctor the late doctor buss as well. But Steinbrenner was, Yeah, he'd fire you. You had to do it his way. He had an expectation. He was very trump Like in the way he managed his team and the way he commanded respect. And I always found the funny that Larry David flew out. I heard this on I believe Rich Eisen. He flew Steinbrenner out to film the scenes for Seinfeld because remember George Steinbrenner was on Seinfeld. Remember George Steinbrenner was just not a good actor. And he had to then break it to Steinbrenner like, I'm not gonna use your You're on the show, but I'm not going.

00:03:50
Speaker 1: To use your voice, and.

00:03:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that the back of Steinbrenner's head was actually Steinbrenner. No, it was Larry David by the voice of Larry David, but he always showed him from behind. He had come in to do some voice and voice working stuff for the Steinbrenner roll, and Larry's like, yeah, just he's greated a lot of things. Acting wasn't one of them, which is which is wild, every one of them. Cal Zones, National Boss's Day. Got a few stories and a few people that come to mind for me, Danny j anyone else in that conversation with doctor Buss and George Steinbrenner, Is there a trifector? Is there a third like really polarizing winning like Al Davis. Oh, of course, I gotta go to you for that one out. Oh yeah, even making that movie right now with Madden and Davis. I mean, it's not professional sports, but it kind of is. Vince McMahon's in there. No, I would say he has to be in the conversation, Vince, I was on the phone. Did you guys say Jerry Jones, Oh, Jerry Jerry. By the way, we just named I think the list of Jerry Jones, Al Davis, Vince McMahon, George Steinbrenner, and doctor Buss.

00:04:59
Speaker 1: That's your top five in sports entertainment.

00:05:01
Speaker 2: Right, I mean in the world of cartoons, honestly, because this comes to mind. When you think of bosses. You don't think of mister Slate or mister Spacey of spacely Sprockets like you don't think of those guys from Hannah Barbara j Yeah, of course, I think of the Hannah Barbara bosses. You think of how pumped Fred was to get out of work. You think of George Jets and how you know how his boss is yelling at him all the time. Hey, Sam, do your best. Mister Spacey, it's that you're fired with a little I'm not. I really don't know this character very well. I've never I don't never done it. Mister Space. Let me listen to this one real quick.

00:05:46
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. I'll give you my so you know cartoons about.

00:05:56
Speaker 3: The big stories big Head really quick cove because co has been watching the h He's watched it three times probably the past two weeks.

00:06:03
Speaker 2: Boss Baby, Oh yeah, yeah, kids love that. Boss Baby's fantastic. That is a good one. So I've worked for some demanding people, very demanding people in my career, and a few stories come to mind. One of my first radio bosses, like you said, Rich, you had to do certain things to get that airtime.

00:06:22
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tell you.

00:06:22
Speaker 2: My old radio boss said, you want airtime, You're my cover story for when I cheated my wife. I'm like, as a young man, I'm like, what the thing is, we've all done stuff like that, right in a generation? You can't because they'll like try to sue you or something. He would say things like you could fill in afternoon Drive, but Tuesday night you and I were with the movies and having a drink.

00:06:40
Speaker 1: I'm like, sure it was bad before HR departments. Yeah, before all that, right, I think there were no training videos, nothing like that.

00:06:47
Speaker 2: I would do all sorts of personal things and personal errands for my boss. If he needed me to pick up his suits, I would do that. I needed to go buy presents for you know, his kids, I would do that. I remember one time I had to clear out his whole attic because he was moving, so that was his personal mover. Like, we did all sorts of stuff like that just to get ahead in life and to get that opportunity. But there was one time I was working in radio promotions. Is a true story, and it's a legendary story if you followed us for years. It was at Metallica Tattoo the Earth or yeah, I think it was a Metallica Tattoo Earth festival or like an Osfest sort of show.

00:07:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it was a very metal show.

00:07:26
Speaker 2: And these metal fans didn't like commercial rock radio. They liked all underground college radio, right, And.

00:07:33
Speaker 1: One dude.

00:07:35
Speaker 2: Stepped on our promotional vehicle, got up on it and got everyone cheering. He was shaking the van back and forth, and I'm there like I'm the station representative, and the guy did the guy how do I say this?

00:07:49
Speaker 1: Number two?

00:07:50
Speaker 2: There was a number two on our vehicle and I'm like, oh my goodness, and the boss made.

00:07:57
Speaker 1: Me clean it up, clean it up?

00:08:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah exactly, So like not only was I offended, but then I had to do that humiliated in front of everybody.

00:08:08
Speaker 1: So I'll never forget it. Geez.

00:08:10
Speaker 2: If he was around nowadays, he'd tell you, I'm gonna call Ice on you.

00:08:12
Speaker 4: Yo.

00:08:13
Speaker 1: Yeah right, So can I tell you you really, Karen? You paid your dues, paid my dues.

00:08:18
Speaker 2: We all did, though it was a different time, and I know the stories get even worse to further you go back.

00:08:25
Speaker 1: But the bosses in TV and life.

00:08:28
Speaker 2: I think mister Angelino I believe was his name from Jack Spistrow. Remember he used to work for mister Angelino Felipe. He was tough on jazz. Yeah, he's coming and start yelling at Jack all the time. But we mentioned it earlier, Greese Company, Lumberg, you might be your number one TV or movie answer.

00:08:47
Speaker 1: We have sort of a problem here.

00:08:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, you apparently didn't put one of the new cover sheets on your TPS reports.

00:08:54
Speaker 2: It's funny because that's a cult classic, yet probably the number one answer when it comes to bosses and TV and entertainment I don't know if I'm just saying this answer because of my sports fandom, but is it general knowledge that before Steve Cohen bought the Mets, the Willponds were the worst owners, like worst bosses? Like is that a sentiment that non New Yorkers?

00:09:17
Speaker 1: Now? Yeah, I think so.

00:09:18
Speaker 2: But the money they got caught up in the schemes and the Bernie madeoff and didn't want to spend money. Snyder of the Redskins now Commander's terrible boss. By the way, Bill Lumberg from the movie Office Space is played my Gary Cole And side note, I've seen him at the CBS right across the street up from over here, like recently.

00:09:39
Speaker 4: Really, yeah, if you could just go ahead and make sure you'd do that from now on, that would be great.

00:09:46
Speaker 1: I'm like, there is Lumberg. I'm in line with Lumberg. Rich.

00:09:49
Speaker 3: How about the horrible owner the Dodgers had here in southern California, Frank McCourt remember that, And I think he still owns a piece of the parking lot. And he went through a bad divorce and that was messy before Magic Johnson and that big group took over.

00:10:02
Speaker 2: Did you guys watch the Whole Clippers documentary about Donald Star. Oh yeah, and I'm asking you a question, since this Boss's Day? Is it a total kissass move to buy your boss a gift for let's say, the holidays or something.

00:10:16
Speaker 1: Do people still do that? Is that just the kind gest holidays?

00:10:19
Speaker 3: Cool?

00:10:19
Speaker 2: Yeah?

00:10:20
Speaker 3: I saw a Hallmark pop up for today, though, to get them a boss's National Boss Day gift?

00:10:25
Speaker 1: Is that kiss as? I would say, that's a little over the top.

00:10:28
Speaker 2: But aren't you like the kid that brings the teacher a gift, like the kid that brings her an apple?

00:10:32
Speaker 1: No, but the same way.

00:10:33
Speaker 3: I know your guys' favorite team, so I give you gifts based on your teams.

00:10:37
Speaker 1: I've done that with our boss before. I give them like Minnesota gear. I haven't done that in years.

00:10:41
Speaker 2: Maybe we should, right, I said the boss something I said from Rich and then in parentheses not so when contract time comes up Christmas?

00:10:49
Speaker 3: Christmas is cool, but if you're doing more than that, you're probably just trying to do too much.

00:10:53
Speaker 1: Here's here's why there's a true not the true story, Danny g how a boss. Rich knows them.

00:10:57
Speaker 2: This is before you and I work together, though, but we end up working for this guy again rich and I and I bought him one of those like like penholders from things engraved or they got sharper image. But I had it engraved and it was like, you know, boss man, so you know, it's just cool his cool pen in it because it's my boss. I thought it was a cool, thoughtful thing to do. And like the reaction I got wasn't like what I expected, So I was like, yeah, never.

00:11:24
Speaker 1: Doing that again.

00:11:25
Speaker 2: Say. I just wanted to be like, oh, you know, it was a great kind gesture, give me a hug or something. The best thing of boss ever was like deflated, feeling like, yeah, maybe I shouldn't have done that. Then one time, when you're on your come up, I remember saying a boss once said to you.

00:11:40
Speaker 1: Like, I don't pay you to think. Yeah he did.

00:11:44
Speaker 2: Know one boss said to me, I don't pay you to think. We already have a Howard Stern here. Just hang up those batters. Read the liners, buddy, read the liners.

00:11:53
Speaker 3: So I had a radio boss steal from me one time. What Yeah, Now I know they have an affiliate in their city, so I have to be careful, and I've programmed several stations, so it could be any of those cities. But so you guys know, in our business, there's this thing called trade where there's certain companies that the radio station wants to do business, but instead of money, they trade services. So all of us full timers, we got an email saying, hey, this awesome auto parts West Coast shop. They're gonna hook all the full time talent up with rims for their cars. Make an appointment, go in pick your rims. I'm so excited. I take my car. I'm like, I pick the rims, make an appointment for when I was going to go get them on. Then I got to follow up email from the boss saying, hey, guys, I'm so sorry, we're not going to finish this trade with this company.

00:12:41
Speaker 2: And I'm like, dang it, I missed out on my rims. I'm not kidding you. Two weeks later, he rolls up his car has my rims that I picked up on his car.

00:12:51
Speaker 1: That says so it says it, Danny g It says here you already you picked up.

00:12:54
Speaker 3: Your rims, and I just I did my bad. I didn't obviously didn't say anything, and I just try to ignore it. But every time I saw his car, it was like like a stake through the heart.

00:13:05
Speaker 1: Wasn't Dinklage the boss in who? Movie?

00:13:08
Speaker 5: Was that?

00:13:08
Speaker 1: Elf? Elf?

00:13:09
Speaker 6: Right?

00:13:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was the bosson ELF. That comes to mind, So call me Elf one more time? Yeah, exactly, Elf, We're going to go to your phone calls. Now, who comes to mind? Sports, Life, entertainment. Do you have any stories you want to share? His national Boss's day here on the Cavino and Rich Show.

00:13:25
Speaker 1: Let's say hi to Willie in Anchorage. What's up Willie? Hey, Willy, Hey, how's it going?

00:13:30
Speaker 5: Guys?

00:13:30
Speaker 1: What's up? First?

00:13:32
Speaker 5: Boss?

00:13:33
Speaker 1: That comes to mind as Michael Scott.

00:13:34
Speaker 5: Everybody knows that, dude, I mean no, God, please, no, no, no.

00:13:42
Speaker 2: You know it's crazy too? Is how he got better with age? He really did.

00:13:46
Speaker 1: On the On the Morning on the Morning Show. He looks way handsome.

00:13:48
Speaker 2: Do you ever see any Season one Season one versus the end his hairline and everything. No, no, it's great. If you watched early episodes he was baldover's slicking it back. Yeah, and then his hairline became were robust.

00:14:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got he got the halleween.

00:14:02
Speaker 2: He's such a good character.

00:14:03
Speaker 1: Though. Alex Alice Cooper is Steve Carell's dad. Look it up. Alice Cooper is Steve Carell's dad.

00:14:12
Speaker 2: If you put some eyeliner on, Steve Carell look a lot like Alice Cooper for Halloween easily. By the way, the Michael Scott clips looking back at how politically incorrect and wrong he was for some of those like like I guess you would say, like the seminars and the racial sensitivity that some of those clips. I don't think we fly today unless he's like a streaming or when when when they out all out Oscar and he's like, I'm gonn kiss him in front of remember that house. That's one of the funniest moments in the Office's history. Let's go to Meg in Montana. Hi, Meg, Hi, Meg, Hey guys, how are you.

00:14:46
Speaker 6: Well. I just couldn't get over the George Steinber talk from Seinfeld. I'm a huge Seinfeld nerd, and I could not help but give you guys a little anecdote. Lee is the actor that played the physical knack of the head of George time Brenner, and he did all the junk yunk motions while Larry David was doing the voicing.

00:15:15
Speaker 2: Yeah that makes sense, Meg, You're right, because I was like that's not Larry David, but it's not George George Steinbrenner's back either, Like it does look like he's a little too big, I think. But I know Larry David, and I said rich eyes and her pals, and I feel like I heard the clip where Larry does say how I wanted to get George and involved but it didn't work out. It's like that must have been a rough conversation even for Larry David. But thanks better at the awkward than Larry David. Yeah, and thank you for the real sexy, I mean, informative phone call.

00:15:43
Speaker 1: We appreciate that. Meg. If you are on Love Is Blind, I would definitely want to meet you.

00:15:46
Speaker 3: Speaking speaking of voiceovers, and you guys have done his voice on the show before, mister burns.

00:15:52
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, well, good boss reference. All right, who else do we got? Who comes to mind? Who's that quintessential boss that comes to on National Bosses?

00:16:01
Speaker 5: Oh?

00:16:01
Speaker 2: You know the hottest bosses? That uh so in appropriate? Jennifer Addison in Horrible Bosses.

00:16:06
Speaker 1: That's a good one. That is a good Remember she's.

00:16:08
Speaker 2: Like trying to seduce Charlie Day and he's just and Bateman And for that matter. I think everyone right, Well, you know what, not only does it make you think of those pop culture references, but it makes you think of all the people you worked for and for what it's worth, even the ones I complained about.

00:16:22
Speaker 1: I learned a lot from man. I really did.

00:16:25
Speaker 2: And I was like, you know what, nothing could be as difficult as like the It felt very much. You ever see the movie Double War's praduct?

00:16:33
Speaker 1: I have good boss.

00:16:35
Speaker 2: I work for a guy, a guy that treated me just like that, And you wonder like, are they pushing you because they're a holes or are they pushing you to really truly bring out the best in you. It's kind of like the movie Whiplash. I always thought that you ever see Whiplash with JK. Simmons, Like was he the worst guy ever? Or was he really trying to bring out the best in what's that actor's name?

00:16:56
Speaker 7: Oh?

00:16:57
Speaker 2: Come on, young Studley, that was the name? You know I'm talking about Nay Kay Simmons and Miles tell Keller.

00:17:06
Speaker 1: There you go.

00:17:07
Speaker 2: So when I look back at all those bosses, yeah, I did learn a lot from them. One of my bosses had to sign on his desk is that it can be done and no matter what I did, and I came there with a problem, he would point at that thing. He didn't care what I had to do to get it done. Get it done. And I think those lessons stick with you, and you know, props to them. He's all along the way.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: Yeah, being a boss is kind of like having a superpower in a way, because some people just don't know how to handle that responsibility and they abuse it. And we've all had bosses like that, and I think you guys would agree in general, your life is so much better when you have a good boss.

00:17:43
Speaker 1: It is true.

00:17:44
Speaker 2: And if you want to turn into sports, because we are Fox Sports Radio, there are some bosses that aren't capable being the main boss, I'll llah the head coach. There are people that are better defensive coordinators, right hitting coaches, you know OC's or bench coaches, and and you see it, and.

00:18:04
Speaker 1: You were saying, you're saying it's probably it probably feels lonely at times.

00:18:07
Speaker 2: You were using the Devilwaar's Prada analogy and whiplash. There are some bosses and I talk about this with my wife all the time. As far as teachers and coaches, kids all respond differently, but you got to figure out what works for you and your kids or employees. Some people need tough love and some people trumble.

00:18:26
Speaker 1: It's true.

00:18:26
Speaker 2: I noticed it when I coach, Like there are kids that are unfocused, and if I try to be a little tough on them, they listen, But then other kids will be tough on them. They just curl into a ball. You know, they're a boss for a reason, right. They might have the ability and skill set to know what that employee needs to get them motivated. For all, I know, this guy saw me as a pampered mama's boy, and he's like, I got to toughen this kid up if he wants to make it.

00:18:52
Speaker 1: Well, look who is no longer batting one forty? Show?

00:18:55
Speaker 2: Hey Atani with a leadoff triple in the bottom of the first Inny he's been whopping what one's sixty five the cove? Was that boss the same guy that said that don't don't use your brain? Or is it just difference? It actually was yeah, okay, yeah, see I don't like that as advice don't use your brain. I mean I kind of I get what he's saying, like, just follow orders, just do what I tell you to think yeah, don't pay to think. Yeah it was the same guy, same guy, all right. You know, I don't know some radio some radio tyrants out there. But you learn your lessons, man, you move on. Joe Tory, right, look at it. Joe Tory who was so dominant as the Yankee skipper, but everywhere else he was not good right true, And Joe Tory was the most chill, laid back type of guy. Compare that to other managers you've seen, like a in your Yankee fandom, like a Panela or Billy Martin or you know, it's everyone's different, It's true, respond differently. By the way, the I don't want to take Dan Buyer's thunder, but Dodgers up one. Oh, Mookie Bets just had a gapper. So back to back hits to start the bottom of the first and Mookie Bets does an exaggerated dance at second he's really rubbing it in. He didn't he didn't even do the hip flex. He did like a whole number. He was like, no, you need to and again back to sports. You know, Dave Roberts, he gets a lot of criticism, but he might be steady, the right guy for those characters. You know, and he proved he was last year and maybe this year. You could argue that's why you could argue that's why Rex Ryan hasn't got a gig since, because maybe his style is like, no, I know, these young kids are not going to respond to you when I say, boss, who do you think of? Seriously? Because then what if I said, hello, both you think about? By ball Hey. Speaking of Howard Stern, I worked at the same radio station as him.

00:20:49
Speaker 1: True story.

00:20:49
Speaker 2: Our main boss said to me one time that I did such a great job that I was going to get a bonus. And people who follow that show know who I'm talking about. So I was so pumped beause I was a young man on the on the come up and I was like, I'm getting a bonus. So telling all my friends I'm getting a bonus. The boss said, I'm getting a bonus, was a pig vomit no, no, but along the seam lines right.

00:21:13
Speaker 1: After the guy who took over.

00:21:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I got my bonus in Princeton Ski Shop gift certificates and it was like.

00:21:21
Speaker 1: Here's I got.

00:21:22
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, cash I got and it was like three, like ten dollars gift If that's the case. Then Clark Griswold's boss for giving him the jelly of the mop cup that he needed a bonus for his pool. And then but you know the humiliation, like at my girlfriend at the time, my parents like, did you get your bonus? I'm like, yeah, here's it. I got my bonus. Here's some snowpants. Jason and Maryland. What's up, Jason, Let's go rapid Fire, Let's go. What's up, Jason?

00:21:47
Speaker 6: What's going on?

00:21:49
Speaker 1: I'm taking back to the nineties. I used to be terrified.

00:21:52
Speaker 6: The younger name was BP Richfield. The boss from the Dinosaur Muppet Giant used to come on back in a day.

00:22:02
Speaker 1: I always portrayed as a scary, angry person. Our buddy Stu in Vegas. What's up, Stu?

00:22:08
Speaker 5: We're doing I'm old, So I'm gonna go. Lou Grant and my wife. I used to work for a football team and my boss told me one day he wanted to do the world's largest condom pole at halftime. Then he said, find me someone to make a fifty foot condom.

00:22:27
Speaker 1: It can be done. It can be done. Promotional idea that Lou Grant. By the way, Mary Tyler Moore Show.

00:22:35
Speaker 2: We see what was he judge Dampire would know that? Did you know whom? I think we're talking at old TV?

00:22:40
Speaker 7: Maybe you're talking Lou Grant. Is that what you said? I thought you said Lou Graham. Yeah, but uh sorry, I had the baseball game Ted night.

00:22:52
Speaker 1: Let's go to Matt and Penn.

00:22:54
Speaker 5: What's up Matt, Hey, guys, the boss of was. I was thinking I was just taking Lou Grant. So I guess that dates me as being an old part. I'm just gonna leave it with this. Uh. Jim Carrey just signed on the play George Jetson's George Jason.

00:23:11
Speaker 1: Is that true?

00:23:12
Speaker 2: By the way, is that true or just a dumb thing I saw because I thought the same thing. I don't hear anything.

00:23:16
Speaker 1: I saw it on a reputable website.

00:23:18
Speaker 2: I've seen this everywhere, and I think that's a great casting. But I have a theory that a lot of if you're a white guy, a lot of your dads look like George Jetson, Rich's dad. If they should cast Rich's dad as George Jetson, and he would be perfect, no doubt. All right, Doug, Oh my boy, el Roy, wrap it up your light again, Wrap it up in Rochester.

00:23:37
Speaker 5: Hey, Doug, Hey, guys, Glengarry, Glen Ross, Alec Baldwin.

00:23:42
Speaker 2: Oh my god, great movie, great movie, great great pick boy. All right, well, hey, we're gonna take the rest of your feedback. Next we'll go to Dan Buy for an update. We'll talk a little show.

00:23:50
Speaker 1: Hey, and uh, it's all here right here on Fox Sports Radio.

00:23:53
Speaker 2: Hang tight, It's Covino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. And if you're a heart and heavy classic rock fan, a kiss fan, I got sad news space Ace Ace Freely passed away at seventy four. Cause of death uncertain right now, but I did see earlier in the week that he had some injuries that led to like a brain bleeding or something like that.

00:24:27
Speaker 1: But seventy four years old.

00:24:30
Speaker 2: Rock legend, Ace Freely, Diane Keaton, DiAngelo and now him. Yeah, so we rock out on his behalf one of Rich's favorite songs. You know, he was actually from New York. I think he was living in Marstown, New Jersey, but he was from the Bronx And is a song you hear a lot in the Queens. So now this is a song they played for years every time the Mets would have won a game. Yeah, and every time the Giants score touchdown. We're live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. Over forty years, ty Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive. Ship Fast and free back by free road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile tire installation tire i Raq tiraq dot Comway tire buying. Should be speaking of aceh freely space ace right. You know it is spooky season, go season, postseason. As a kid, there was nothing cooler to me as a little boy seeing all like the teenage burnouts of the eighties stressed up his kiss for Halloween. That was always the coolest thing when you're a kid of the eighties.

00:25:35
Speaker 1: WO.

00:25:36
Speaker 2: So rest in peace and if you have any other thoughts on bosses, well hit us up at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio. Two reminders, Rich, yesterday we filled in for Dan Patrick, So if you missed the show, catch it on the podcast Our best of Dan Patrick. And thanks again to dB for filling in and doing his thing. And over promised, I can already tell you what we're gonna talk about in a half hour from now, live on our YouTube channel. Covino and Rich FSR.

Yeah, because tonight it's not the Battle of the Ages, it's the Battle of the Old Ages. Aaron Rodgers, Joey Flacco. So we're gonna talk about things you notice in your forties who might be ass We're gonna add someone to the list, and we're gonna talk about Halloween costumes on over Promised episode one thirteen again in a half hour on Covino and Rich FSR YouTube.

00:26:36
Speaker 1: So join us.

00:26:37
Speaker 2: Well, he's got an RBI, well not an ABI, he's got a leadoff triple and he scored the run so far for the Dodgers show. Hey, Otani, there's this is a sentiment that has to do with show Hey, that we'll get to right after Chris's call. He wanted to wrap up our boss conversation. What's up Washington State? Chris?

00:26:56
Speaker 5: Oh, hey, man, I just wanted to get music music in play and mention.

00:27:01
Speaker 1: Oh that's a good one. Yeah, talking about the guy.

00:27:04
Speaker 3: Yeah.

00:27:05
Speaker 2: Intimidating boss for sure, And that's usually how they're portrayed in movies and TV and we shout out the bosses, What about Tony Soprano? Yeah he was the boss. Yeah he was the boss. He was the dogs. So thank you guys. Now you say there's a sentiment around shoe Hill Tani, I say, there's just straight up stats that prove when it comes to postseason he's kind of cheeks.

00:27:30
Speaker 1: But he gets away with it.

00:27:31
Speaker 2: And I know there's plenty of reasons as to why, but the stats don't lie. Two hundred lifetime, not counting today, he was bat in one forty seven leading into today's postseason game. Hasn't really come through that clutch that big for your Dodgers. But I think it all goes back to one thing that we tend to forget. Shoe Hey did something that no one had ever done before. He deferred his payments what two million a year, which allowed the Dodgers to get the other players to back him up. And they've been coming through. So when your team around you delivers and they're not relying just on show Hay and one person to come through, Yeah, he gets away with it. And they wouldn't have those players if it wasn't for that move he made, taking less money at the time.

00:28:15
Speaker 1: Well, so I heard.

00:28:17
Speaker 2: Colin say this the other day, and I think these Dodger teams aren't winning just because they have the high payroll in big stars.

00:28:24
Speaker 1: Yes, pitching has shown that so far.

00:28:26
Speaker 2: You got Blake Snell, and free agency had the money to sign Yamamoto and you knew he wanted to come play with show Hey, which by the way, shows his worth in another way, right, other Japanese stars wanted to play with show Hey. But it's guys like Tommy Edmund. It's guys that were on other teams that anyone could have had. Remember we talked about how anyone in the NFL could have had Baker Mayfield if they really wanted. Anyone could have had Tommy Edmund. Anyone could have had tay Oscar Hernandez. These are guys that I mean Snell. Snell was up for grasts, went to his Dodger expensive but still, but I'm saying those guys from the scrap heaps is trash, Bobsara. No one wanted Max Munsey. These are guys that went to the Dodgers and fit in with the stars and have become big postseason players. And much like that school project Kvino. We've talked about how you might not be the person that contributes, but if you get an a everyone gets today, not just the person that does the best. And the Dodgers are defending World champs. Show hey may not have had the numbers, but you know what, he's part of that squad. And if you win, it gets forgotten.

00:29:28
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

00:29:28
Speaker 2: And there are moments not necessarily fair though, because what was the biggest criticism for Aaron Judge that he wasn't coming through in the postseason? Well, Coavini, he's a ghost in the postseason. Wheres his big moment? Why not at least a little bit of that narrative. He's the biggest international star in the game. You've been hearing it the past couple of weeks. Rob Parker's just screaming about it for over a week now. It's starting to but but he's pitching, he's contributing in other ways. And Cavino, besides that, if you win, this is all forgotten. If the Yankees had won a World Series while Aaron Judge betted you know, two to eight in the postseason, it wouldn't have been a big deal. There have been plenty of teams where the star player, you know, poops the bet in the postseason and no one really seems to care because the team wins. The Dodgers are winning, and there are moments where, even though he's not contributing, his pure presence has felt meaning. The other night, say that about Aaron Judge the other night was just as much flak. They weren't pitching around Aaron Judge. It's just that other people weren't backing them up. The other night, Mookie Bets got walked at the bases juiced. Why would the basses juice because they did not want to pitch to show hal Tony And that same stuff applied to Aaron Judge. It's just do we see two different narratives. I'm actually tipping my hat to the fact that Aaron that Shohy was able to surround himself with greater players because of that deferred move he made as far as money, because you would not have those players, They would not be able to afford all these players if it wasn't for that move of taking it was two million a year, right that.

00:31:00
Speaker 1: Two million a year.

00:31:00
Speaker 3: There are no Dodgers on the top ten for highest paid salaries for next season. It's crazy. The list is Soto, Wheeler, Guerrero, Junior Judge, Bregman, Rendon, de Gram, Trout, Cole Gray. Those are the top salaries for next season.

00:31:16
Speaker 2: You can also say it's the way that show he carries himself too. You know, he's just not an easy target like that. He's a really likable guy and you know how great he is, so you really don't want to It doesn't matter when he bats one forty eleven.

00:31:28
Speaker 1: But the stats don't lie. They don't lie.

00:31:30
Speaker 3: But like Rich said, there's a lot of forgiveness given after you get that ring, because Aaron Judge could literally flip off all those critics with a big ring on his finger if he had won one.

00:31:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, and by the way, Bowers.

00:31:41
Speaker 2: Time the game, and you know, in fact, let's let's go to dB, who's probably happy about this riach.

00:31:48
Speaker 1: You know, thanks guys, Dan Byer here.

00:31:51
Speaker 7: Jake Bauers RBI single scored, Caleb Durban who had a triple, Key k Arnandez probably shouldn't have dough for the ball in left field got there was an extra base. But now they've even the score at one a piece. Right now, close top of the second It's like.

00:32:05
Speaker 2: If you feel like you have a possible, you know, jump on the balls. One thing he just laid out in the bull bats five ft in front of him.

00:32:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, you misjudged it for sure. Dodgers got the one nothing lead on the Mookie Bets RBI double that scored show hey Otani. But the Brewers answer back and the top of the second that's where they play now at Dodgers Stadium, Brewers and Dodgers tied up at one in the second inning. Brewer Dodgers up two zero in the best of seven series. That Brewers fan caught on video saying call Ice towards a Dodgers fan during Game two in Milwaukee. Well, she has been banned from American Family Field in Milwaukee by the Brewers. That's according to TMZ Blue Jays and Mariners eight thirty Eastern Time. That's on FS one Game four the alcs is. The Mariners are home in Seattle, up to one in the series, Max Scherzer against Luis Castillo. Yankee skipper Aaron Boone says that Anthony Volpe and Garrett Cole likely won't be ready for the start of the season, same with Carlos Rodan. As for Aaron Judge, the outfielder will not need surgery on his injured elbow. Cowboys wide receiver Ced Lamb says he'll play against the Commanders on Sunday Well Niner's done, and George Kittle says he'll return from his Week one hamstring strain to face the Falcons on Sunday Night. Football Notable players to not practice today include Rams Wade receiver Puka Nakua, Commander's wide receiver Terry McLaurin, and Bucks wide receiver a Mecca Abuka. Cardinos quarterback Kyler Murray limited in practice because of a foot injury. And in college football, Indiana's given head football coach, Kurt said Netti an eight year extension worth eleven point six million dollars. Signetti now the third highest bad coach in college football, and had this to say after his deal.

00:33:40
Speaker 8: My wife, Manette, and I love Indiana University, Bloomington, the state of Indiana, the people we've met with very strong feelings about President Whitten and Scott Dolson. And you know, we've accomplished a lot here in a short amount of time, but still have a lot of work to do.

00:33:54
Speaker 7: Third ranked team in the country right now, and Signetti only paid less than Ryan Dale Ohio State and Kirby Smart at Georgia.

00:34:02
Speaker 1: Thank you, dB, dB.

00:34:04
Speaker 2: I would love Indiana too, by the way, if I got paid that much, I would say very nice things about it.

00:34:08
Speaker 1: The Indiana rich.

00:34:10
Speaker 2: So dB, do you think that sho Hey Otani avoids the criticism here because they're winning, Because think of the criticis Maren Judge was getting dude ended up batting five hundred in the postseason, and you would have thought he was the reason they lost based on the press and the coverage and criticism he got. Show Hay was batting one forty seven heading into today's game this postseason.

00:34:31
Speaker 7: So show he is not criticized because the Dodgers have been good in the postseasons.

00:34:34
Speaker 1: As simple as that.

00:34:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you can't And if that's the truth, then right, get off Judges Huevos and realize it was the team had nothing to do with him. He didn't have to back up that show he has well. Shout out to Max Munsey because another great postseason play infield was in runner a third and Max Munsey made a nice little slide and catch a third, spun around and throw a strike to home to get the runner on a tag play obviously not a force and that is an under underestimated.

00:35:06
Speaker 1: Play right there. That's great execution about the Jodgers keeping it one to one.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: All right, So we got more Coveno and Rich Spooky Season postseason Ghost Season here on Fox Sports Radio Rock and psace freely Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.

We're gonna talk about the worst things to happen in your forties because tonight is the Battle of the forty year old quarterbacks forty one for Aaron Rodgers, a new they might be asked and we talked some Halloween on over Promised. We do it live in ten minutes again on YouTube. Joined the live chat and check us out. Covino and Rich FSR and tomorrow Rich Rich's big TV Game of the week, our fun new game Brainwave, giving away some prizes, and we get you ready for the weekend with Weekend Hobnobbin right here on Covino and Rich and Rich. You still got to give us your Thursday night picks, but real quick, right quick. I got to say that we learned this last year what the Dodgers did with Shoheo Tani worked, but we're noticing it in a different way this year when you see that he's batting one forty seven minus the triple he hit tonight this entire postseason, and the money they were able to use by him deferring his payments is working as they distribute it.

00:36:41
Speaker 1: Elsewhere to get other players to pick them up.

00:36:44
Speaker 2: So the Dodgers have a solid team and what they did with Shoho Tani works. I agree with that he gets no criticism. I agree, but don't because disne sellary cap in baseball. So it's not like he's pulling the Tom Brady where it's like, spend the money elsewhere? Does Unlimited spend? The Dodgers's able to Phillies, you know who's so much that money so in such a better way instead of paying him a crazy amount.

00:37:06
Speaker 1: Of I get what you're saying.

00:37:07
Speaker 2: You don't want to you want to avoid luxury taxes and all these other things.

00:37:11
Speaker 1: But there's no salary caps. So I don't think show Hay is being.

00:37:13
Speaker 2: The most like, oh my god, team guy, you get the most money as you can in baseball. I just think that the Dodgers are covering for show Hey when he doesn't deliver, covering.

00:37:22
Speaker 1: With the players that they were able to get because of that money.

00:37:24
Speaker 2: But it's guys, I said, it's guys like that would be like Judge being covered by a guy like Vulpi or Austin Wells or one of these guys actually playing well where Tommy Edmond and in that case, you know, the criticism should have never been on Judge then because he batted over five hundred, sho Hay one forty seven. Seriously put that in perspective. Think of the criticism Judge got he batted five hundred and carried that team. Show Hey gets no criticism. He's batting one forty seven. It's criticizing Judge anymore. You're making as much sense as Joe on Love is Blind?

00:37:58
Speaker 1: Right now? Sure about that? Do you watch Love? His blind, Monsie, Joe's the biggest He is sure about that?

00:38:04
Speaker 2: Or did he really just want to shoehorn that comment into this conversation.

00:38:07
Speaker 1: I so, I was happy listening to you guys because I'm prepping to anchor, but he wanted to talk about love is Blind.

00:38:12
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Joe, Joe says some crazy things. Guy, I've ever seen I you know him and that girl with the hurt him and the woman that owns a hair salon who has the worst hair, who has.

00:38:21
Speaker 1: Okay, I wasn't gonna say that, but it's no facts, facts, facts. He's not wrong. I just I'm all caught it. I'm glad.

00:38:28
Speaker 2: I'm glad we all are on the same page that there's so many great sports. But when that's done and you're laying in bed, we're watching Love His.

00:38:33
Speaker 1: Blond Yeah, we can watch. We can all agree on that. All right.

00:38:36
Speaker 2: Well, Hey tonight, here's the bet you're gonna make. I'm gonna win you some more money. We finally lost and we jinked ourselves. What to be nine and one now on Thursday and Monday night teaser bets?

00:38:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, you thought about your pick too hard last week?

00:38:47
Speaker 2: Did I did? Well?

00:38:49
Speaker 1: Here's what we're gonna do tonight.

00:38:50
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Rodgers is going to continue to show the National Football League that like we were all wrong and he's still got enough juice and that team is good around him, and everyone stinks the Steelers have somehow found a way to keep that team together. They are four and one right coming off of bye, and you got Aaron Rodgers. They're six point favorites. Tease that down to nothing, nothing many. You just need the Steelers to beat Flacco and the Bengals. Not then, not the easy breezy. Here's why I don't want to get it. I don't want to overthink it. The over Unders forty four and a half. You could say, mmm, go down to thirty eight and a half and picked the over. I'm not gonna do that, though this could be low scoring. I'm gonna go under fifty and a half. Under fifty and a half, and Pittsburgh Steelers just win.

00:39:39
Speaker 1: That's your teaser.

00:39:40
Speaker 2: So under fifty and a half, you know, I'm thinking twenty four to ten, twenty four seventeen still wins. That bet Steelers and the Unders in a teaser.

00:39:52
Speaker 1: There you go. It'll be fun, yeah, fun to watch the old guys do their thing tonight.

00:39:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd like to see Blue Jays tie this bad up tonight. And Danny, no offense to you, because my kids now love the Dodgers. It would nice, It would be nice to make this a series. You really want to sweep and sit around for a week? Come on, is that any fun?

00:40:09
Speaker 1: Is that any fun? Danny would now enjoy your games tonight. Guess stop giving me extra anxiety.

00:40:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see you guys later. Riba, there you maybe any over promised Land.

00:40:19
Speaker 1: Let's go
