I'm Cavino, that is Rich Davis, and we be rocking all let's go. We're gonna talk so hump day MLB. One last MLB story before we turn the page. Mad Dog Russo mad about something, So I well, he's the mad Dog. I love mad Dog, but I also love when Boomers get mad and start screaming. Would you clone your mad dog like Tom Brady? Hey, let me wrap up the first hour, please. I want to wrap up the first hour with a tiny bit of legitimac here, right, because the rumor is that Nate Diaz accepted Jake Paul's offer to fill in for a rematch fight November fourteenth, Right, Yeah, there is, however, a legitimate fight. This weekend, Virgil Ortiz and Ericson Lubin are fighting two junior middle eight top prospects. Big Virgil Ortiz fan, he's dominant in one fifty four, And that Christy Martin movie comes out this weekend with Sidney Sweeney. So if you're a fight fan, just want to remind you there also Sidney Sweeney fan. And I saw that she said that she would She loved the idea of like just sparring or getting it, saying she's ready for a fight right now. Yeah, and I'll take her on anytime, no creepo, and we finalized our bet. It was a season long, year long bet Mets Yankees. There's a speedbag stroke in there something ire. Yeah, Rich now owes me one thousand dollars because the Yankees had a better record. We shook on it, and I said, you owe me another eleven hundred because the Yankees had eleven more wins. But I'll forget that if you give me your Otani rookie. Rich shook on it, so he saves eleven hundred bucks, but I get the rookie card. And just to wrap up that discussion, yeah, get this. This is a story in the news today. Yamamoto, your World Series MVP dominant, his best card ever is still out there. It's been confirmed that the World Series MVP's Rookie debut patch car autographed has not yet been redeemed. So now there's like a scamper, scammer, scamper, scamper. There's a there's a a hustle on a bus. There's a hustle of collectors and fans all over the world now hitting their local hobby shacks, in local card shops because now they're like, we got to get our hands on It's like trying to find a lottery ticket in a haystack, is really what it is. Remember that guy. Do you remember this story about the guy that had a hard drive with like a billion dollars worth a bitcoin on it, and he knew what junkyard it was in and he was He never came out with it, but he spent like resources and years just saying listen, I'll pay whatever dig through this trash yard because if you find this hard drive, it has a billion dollars. But this is really interesting because even grown men like Danny G's brother and friends and cousins, they're all like, yeah, on my way home, I'm gonna stop, like like you're trying to buy a lottery.

00:03:57
Speaker 3: A million sports version of the ball.

00:04:00
Speaker 1: Hey, the mega millions today, by the way, I believe is the highest it's been in this year's There's been no winter since June, so eight hundred to a billion dollars from the Mega millions. We'll think about it. We all knew how great he was and the potential was there, but we all saw how great he is in the World Series right the debut card. I don't know if everybody's privy to what tops has been doing. They've been putting a rookie debut patch on any time a big leaguer makes his debut appearance. They then take that patch that they wore one time and they put it into a card autographed, so it's one of one. So that's the patch he wore in his debut. That card is still out there. And after that performance, you know the value of that car. It's skyrocketed. And now because everyone knows this out there, the value skyrocket's even more so. It is like a sports version of a lottery ticket that people are on the hunt for as we speak. You have ever dumb thought, and I know Cavinos had this dumb thought knowing that the Yama Moto card is out there somewhere. Yeah, you ever lose something and you wonder like if I could GPS it? Like you ever leave like a hat at a hotel or a shirt somewhere. Like you'll see an old shirt in a picture and you're like, what happened to that shirt? I know when you went through your divorce, I see pictures all the time and I'm like, what happened with that check? Kina went through his divorce. After a divorce, I just never got he claims it. There's like his favorite guitar, Yeah gone. His ex wife's like, I don't have it. Well, I don't have it. There was a Tacamine beautiful acoustic electric guitar. I saved all my college money when I had no money, my Bennigan's money to buy this guitar and never saw it again. So essentially, what we're saying, Denny, before we move on, we're saying that somewhere out there in the United States, maybe even another country five well, go west, there's a pack of unopened Tops cards that just has this probably million dollar plus easy one of one Yama Mode one. It could be sitting at a hobby shop in Mississippi, Texas, California, New York. There's just one card just sitting some Yeah, it never opened. So we'll keep you posted on that. It's wild, right, I can't wait to collect on.

00:06:04
Speaker 3: My after not after tonight. I'm going to that van I shop where I got the Yeah.

00:06:11
Speaker 1: So funny, because everybody has that little dream now like this. This is an overplaced place and uh in my neck of the woods, but it is a cal Vasis Commons dandy does that. It's like cards and coffee, like twenty dollars one pack. Hey, you never know.

00:06:24
Speaker 3: You guys have talked about it.

00:06:25
Speaker 4: I think the the mcmillion's the McDonald's Monopoly game and how that was such a you know, fraud. The the card thing is a real deal because, as you guys say, you kind of need to like keep that card out there. Recently, I think it was Tops Basketball had a release and there was a Cooper flag card and within the first day it was real it was pulled. So the so the drama following it is now lost. So if you're the company, like maybe you'll hold it back from the packs for a week.

00:06:56
Speaker 1: You know, and how to do it?

00:06:57
Speaker 4: I ate a little bit because it would kind of everything if all of a sudden twenty four hours later, like the card was already found. This adds so much mystery and drama to it.

00:07:06
Speaker 1: Do you remember when they had the Paul Skins version of this, Yes, and the Pirates offered some week ass package if someone found it and it was not weak as the pack Yeah, Pittsburgh, but it was like if you pull the Paul Skiins one of one, you get like a year of Pirates season tickets and this and that. Everything and it's like, unless you're a Pirates fan, like, yeah, no, thanks, even if you are a Pirates fan. Yes, all this stuff added to the excitement of this magical baseball season that we keep talking about. I think we saw a boom in the star power of all these cards and collectibles and patches and rookie debuts and things like that. I think it just added to the whole thing. So props to Tops and again Cavino and Rich getting ready for Mike's Wednesday Words of wisdom. Can you find out one thing for me, Danny, as read before we move on? Are is this card? Would it be in your regular Tops Baseball pack or is it a special type of thing.

00:08:02
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good question, because there are some Tops top tier packs.

00:08:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, only because like the cards I buy for the kids on my pony ball team, like you know, like a box of cards is twenty five bucks and it's like it's your regular like Tops. Well, the card itself, I don't know what pack it comes in. We'll have Danny look that up, but the card itself is a Top certified autograph issue, authentic game worn patch card. Damn made his MLB debut March twenty first twenty twenty four. So again one of one, because this is the patch he wore in his debut.

00:08:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so Rich's point, like, not all inserts are placed in all packs. Like there's hobby packs, there's blaster boxes. There's a whole different array. And if you're not picking the right one, you're not even able to start because you're picking the wrong pack.

00:08:46
Speaker 3: And check this out. This is what TOPS is doing, it says. Yamamoto's debut patch card remains in the possession of TOPS, which confirmed to the Athletic that no one has submitted the redemption code to receive the Yamamoto card as of sun day. TOPS produces a redemption card bearing a special code that goes into a TOPS pack instead of the debut patch card itself, in an effort to keep the unique and valuable cards in top condition.

00:09:12
Speaker 1: You know Ken Golden sitting somewhere waiting to get his grimy hands on this. Put it in back Golden Collectible. It's so a kid doesn't, like, you know, bend the corners, and.

00:09:21
Speaker 4: So somebody's not sitting at a target weighing packs of cards. Have you seen that, Like, like you'll go in and you'll they'll have a scale, they'll weigh it if it's a jersey patch, because the weight of the pack is different. I the littlest amount, right, Yes, I bought. I bought a pack of cards yesterday for my son. We were at the store, so let's just go get some football cards. And they were locked up behind and usually they'd let you pick, and the worker instead of grabbing the first one, like grab the fifth one. And I thought to myself, why would you grab the fifth one? And once't you just grab the first one. So I'm thinking to myself that, yeah, that maybe they kind of have. Weaited not didn't care. It was just for having to see the players and cards and whatever. It was seven bucks, but I was just like, that's you know, that's it felt a little shity.

00:10:09
Speaker 1: That is shady and weird. But you know what, when I hear that story Dan, it just it just reconfirms the excitement and it makes me happy that kids are able to be excited about this stuff the same way we were when we were growing up. It's pack. Then you get the Austin Wells with the mustache clippings. I got his actual mustache clippings this year. Guys, I was so pumped about it. All Right, now we have a crazy story about two and a half coke cans more than what you're seeing here on our YouTube page. Yeah, two and a half Covino and rich FSR two and a half of those. We have a story that involves two and a half cocains. What does it mean? We'll explain. But before we do that, we have to give away prizes with Mike's Wednesday words of wisdom. It's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:10:55
Speaker 4: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything.

00:11:00
Speaker 3: He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

00:11:04
Speaker 5: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

00:11:08
Speaker 1: There he is Big Mike. This is sexy. Ryan has to put the flute down and you want to turn them on. Here's here's two and a half cocains. Okay, here we go, Oh big oh, everybody, in honor of the ending of baseball season, my words of wisdom. Oh, baseball related umpires don't make bad calls. It's just that reality disagrees with them. Oh wow, that was deep, Mike.

00:11:43
Speaker 6: I like, like, I think we need that one last time, one more time for the cheap seats. Umpires don't make bad calls, it's just that reality disagrees with them.

00:11:57
Speaker 1: If you could repeat that verbatim, which means word for word Fox Sports, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, you win a CNR Turbo ball our brand new, new and improved Nerve football. So even if you won last year is a different one. Your chance to win again right now? If you could repeat that at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Thank you, Mike, I feel wiser just sitting in your present presence all the time. You know that that's understanding. Yeah, thank you. Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom. We do it every Wednesday. Plus we got Midweek major coming up. But rich, while we get our phone calls going, Danny G's on the case there, I'm going to leave this Hailey Bailey story to you. Uh, well, you probably know Hally Belly. You're the runch bag of the show. Yeah that's what everybody calls you. What people say, Yeah, well, Helle Bailly hot influencer. If you don't know the name, I guarantee if you look her up, you'd be like, oh, I've seen her. You've definitely seen this woman on social media as in to my knowledge, Bree was telling me, Haley band is an SI Sports Illustrated like bikini model and now influencer. It does like funny video. She's comical on like TikTok and Instagram, an s I model. Yeah, but if you see her, you'll be like, of course I know her. She you know, covers events and she's out and about Hally Bailey. If you're in the social media scene, even if you don't know my name, even I gotta see her treeks. Let me look her treeks. I don't know if that's how you'd recognize her. She's she does like funny videos, but she tends to hear a bikini you're in there anyway. She was on a podcast and talked about her failed marriage to ex husband and NFL player Mac is A Kale Mat Khalil, Mak Khalil, So, Matt Khalil. What happened? You couldn't read your own handwriting? Yeah?

00:13:48
Speaker 7: I didn't.

00:13:48
Speaker 1: I did a covino. Honestly, that happens to me all the time. You're off the hook. Good night, San Diego. Keep it classy, uh Matt Kaye. Now she talks about the biggest factor khal What I say, Kho Khalil the biggest factor, And by the way, is an offensive tackle for the Vikings. Yeah, they're twenty twenty two divorced. The biggest factor was the size of his junk. Just let that breathe for a second. She said, we're trying to do the damn thing. Then, well, let's just say I tried to put the work into my marriage. Goes on to say, dead ass for our whole marriage. I tried, We tried, we went to a therapist, the doctor. I'm not even lying. I looked up things I could do. She goes on to say the thirty three year old model about her ex husband, that she has love for him and that they are homies to this day, even though that they are divorced, that he is of the point zero one percent of the population, and described what he has in his pantalones as two and a half cokecits. I don't know how to reactive it. I bring this up because the comments are wild, because the comments are from social media users saying, but this is like great press for the guy, right, Well, that's said that they got divorced in all, but like talk about great pr Well. What I find funny is that the comments on social media are people saying like, oh my god, how disrespectful, what a breach of trust and disrespect you were married to this person. How can you say such things? And they're all negative from women like ewh, I never expected her to say this. All the comments are negative, And I'm thinking to myself, if you're going to be broken up, could this not be like the most hilarious, Like, I mean, it sounds silly, but like this is like not the reason you'd be sad about, right. It's like when people talk about Pete Davidson, like, remember after he's really hurting my feelings.

00:16:01
Speaker 7: I mean, he's gonna help your street cred.

00:16:04
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah exactly. You know there's gonna be people that just because of that. Now he has since happily married and has a kid and everything. But I don't think that's the worst rumor about you. Trust me. Exes can say a hell of a lot worse about you. Well, now everybody's gonna look at the new woman and think, oh, well look, oh okay, okay, good for her. But if you're on our YouTube chat, he's a big dude, by the way, six foot six easily three hundred and something. Back just Mike two and a half, Like, come on, I mean yeah, I don't even say about it.

00:16:33
Speaker 6: Technically those are diet coke cans. But okay, yeah, well but you're right.

00:16:38
Speaker 1: If you're ever gonna have an ex talk bad about you, let this be the reason that.

00:16:42
Speaker 7: Might be the one.

00:16:43
Speaker 1: All right, let's see if we could get a winner for Mike's words of wisdom and uh let's start with Andrew in Illinois. Andrew, are you there, buddy? Repeat Mike's words of wisdom verbatim, and you win. Have you known Rich coveted their football?

00:17:05
Speaker 3: All right?

00:17:06
Speaker 1: Umpires don't make bad calls.

00:17:11
Speaker 3: It's just reality that no, no, no, sorry, he missed a word. Sorry about that, an.

00:17:21
Speaker 1: Man the flag was thrown JP. In Northern California, JP, repeat Mike's words wisdom word for word.

00:17:28
Speaker 3: Okay, umpires don't make bad calls.

00:17:34
Speaker 8: It's just that reality disagreed with them.

00:17:38
Speaker 1: That's a winner. Yeah, that's pah, you do it, yep.

00:17:45
Speaker 3: In Northern California, We're gonna mail you one of these turbo balls.

00:17:52
Speaker 1: Thank you, JP, Thank you JP. Northern California with the win, and we all feel wiser as a result. Thank you JP, Thank you Mike. And again every Wednesday year, chance to get a little wiser and to win a nerve football for you or great stocking stuffer for your little rug rat at home. Of course, now, just to wrap up that last story. Takes a lot to wrap up that last story. I just think it's uh. It is well because when you think of all the things that X could say about you, yeah, oh, because it's usually the opposite. They trash talk all Usually I'm a self centered son of a bee, I'm a mama's boy. Yeah. I mean these are all true things, but I never want to hear them. Think about all the things a woman could say about a guy. The reason for the divorce is that it's just the guy's too well in doubt. That's like, like, I just again, my I think the funny angle is that all the comments on social media are like how wrong it was for her to say all this? And I think most guys would agree that, like, yeah, he's not really mad about this. No, no, this is uh. And by the way, this story's everywhere like a republic, like people and things like that. No, just not just like not just runchw months ago. TMZ just posted a whole like the whole thing about it. It's everywhere. It's just if this story is everywhere, if it bleeds, it leads for really, it's just it's wildly funny. I can't imagine that being the thing.

00:19:17
Speaker 7: I feel like gonna have to change his phone number.

00:19:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again he's married with a little kid. But still like it's just, uh, you know what the weird part about it, it's so descriptive the two and a half coke can description, like every wife and girlfriend are gonna go home today and grab a can and then think about their man and like really size you up in a weird way. They're like, huh are we Your wife's like, did she mean those mini cans? Did she mean that mini Starbucks espresso can? Yeah, this isn't gonna it's gonna make.

00:19:48
Speaker 7: She was just talking about a couple of Red Bulls.

00:19:50
Speaker 1: She was like, oh no, no, that's just weird about it. That's been more of a five hour energy drink. And I remember hearing like, uh, similar rumors about jay Z of Cane to those camps. All right, so anyway, thank you guys again for hanging out with us. Thank you again, Mike who runs this place. Thank you Mike. And we still have to talk about, well the biggest stories in the world of sports and pop culture. Well Spot's got Midweek major and we do that next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

00:20:24
Speaker 3: A hot tub boy, what up?

00:20:28
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio Nation. It's Covino and Rich. You did your daughter and her friends bump into Will Smith?

00:21:56
Speaker 4: Say, that's Summit.

00:21:58
Speaker 5: We definitely major see it our scoring Midweek Major.

00:22:03
Speaker 3: Oh it's for the Dodgers, all right. Before we hand things over to the number one and only host, that's me, we'd like to roll the two big red Love dice over there in the main studio, Ill eight.

00:22:23
Speaker 1: Seven rituals. There we go, Hi can ed oh nine, Let's get who wins?

00:22:34
Speaker 7: I win?

00:22:34
Speaker 1: Oh?

00:22:35
Speaker 3: Lucky Rich all right, he gets first take. And now ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Judy Bloom from Scotch Plains New Jersey Spotty boy.

00:22:45
Speaker 7: Hey guys, hes fuck.

00:22:47
Speaker 3: How much time do I have?

00:22:48
Speaker 6: Like?

00:22:49
Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's that's a lot. What am I gonna do with that? Maybe about six? Okay?

00:22:54
Speaker 7: Great?

00:22:55
Speaker 8: Well, we talked earlier in the show about the Jake Paul Tank.

00:22:59
Speaker 1: Davis soon to be what is it?

00:23:01
Speaker 8: It's better than better than nothing, better than nothing with nath Diaz. Well, you know, it would be a way better opponent and get way more attention if Sidney Sweeney stepped into the ring. So, as you know, Sidney Sweeney currently on her press tour. You mentioned it earlier for the upcoming movie Christy, in which she portrays boxer Christy Martin, and Sweetey said that while filming and training for the movie, she fell in love with the sport and may want to actually step in the ring for a real boxing match. So she said that Martin is all is prepared to sign her up for an actual fight if she was really serious about it. So she's really alluding to the fact she's like, you know what, look for the pay per view. I don't know who my opponent will be but I might actually step in the ring. Sweety says she went through riggers training for the movie and put on thirty five pounds of muscle. So she says that she can take a punch and wouldn't quit midweek or major.

00:23:55
Speaker 1: And I love Sidney Sweeney. I love most Sweeney. I love so any stories involving Sidney Sweeney. But listen, you could take a boxing cardio class now that you know how to box a little bit because of this movie. What are you gonna put your pretty face and reputation and art on the line to get in the ring? As Rocky Balboa said, that was like his only option, like you, this is what I gotta do to Yeah, like you know what, Like, come on, you're not Jake Paul Sidney Sweeney, I love you. And again there's a speedbag joke in there somewhere. I just can't find this. I just still can't find keep work shopping it. Yeah, but no, I think she's great, but stay out of the ring to really box. Come on, why would you do that? Let it be known. I'm a big fan. Yeah, I like Sidney Sweeney. But this is a mid story. Mid story because as the old saying goes, you don't play boxing. You know this is life or death. People are fighting get out of poverty, fighting for their lives. This is a serious sport. So just because you learned some moves, you learn the basics in a movie. I'm not denying that she didn't get in great shape and learned a lot, But you're not ready to really fight. You may I think that you're really ready to fight, but you're not. So stop, as Rob Park would say, stop it, yeah, stick with acting.

00:25:08
Speaker 3: All right.

00:25:08
Speaker 8: Dodgers on their victory tour this week, as you know, of course, partying NonStop made it a special appearance on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night of Dancing with the Stars, which I'm sure you watched this so manager Dave Roberts, along with Tyler Glass, now Will Smith and Blake Snell were all We're seen in the audience with the World Series trophy in to Some people said they looked a little bit out of their element, but that could also be because they were partying NonStop since Saturday Nights. When also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where Keik Hernandez I know we talked about this story yesterday revealed who that mystery butt was in the photo.

00:25:43
Speaker 1: Did you guys know to see us?

00:25:45
Speaker 3: It's that of.

00:25:45
Speaker 8: Picture Kirby Yates, which makes sense because it was a Kirby tattoo.

00:25:53
Speaker 1: All right, So there you go, midweek major. What was the crux of this again? I don't know what it was, like the main part they're out about about. You know what's it's mad again because that's what happens every World Series, the winning team goes out about. I do think key k is the star of the week. I mean his personality is shining. Uh dance with the Stars. I think more people disappointed that uh Topeng is off the show now for me and uh other than that, listen, man, I think uh watching the World Series team go to all these talk shows makes you feel good if you're a fan of that team. Otherwise you really don't care. But when it's your team, you love watching them.

00:26:32
Speaker 5: You do.

00:26:32
Speaker 1: All right, you're just babbling now. Now, it's weak. It's weak on every level because they all showed up for Dancing with the Stars, but the guy who does the worm wasn't there. Freddie Freeman. If you're gonna show up for Dancing with the Stars, I want to see that dude in his flat top do the worm, and we figured out who it is. By the way, editor Shay Here said he could absolutely do the worm perfectly.

00:26:56
Speaker 8: So yeah, if they're going to show up, show up with the best. All right, Russell Wilson, we know for have being incredibly awkward. You've seen his subway commercials. You know how he is when he talks himTo camera. Well, now's your chance to have Misterlimited himself make some videos for you because he is now available on cameo. So for the low price of three hundred and thirty three dollars, you can now get your own personalized message from the QB himself. So when a video posted on the site, he said he's wanted to do it for years. People have been asking for it. He plans to release inspirational videos about faith, life, sports, anything you guys need coming your way, Unlimited videos on cameo.

00:27:35
Speaker 1: Let's go.

00:27:36
Speaker 8: He also said, don't be afraid to get creative with your requests, and to that, I say, be careful what you wish for. But the assumption is that the cameo will feed his charity, Why the Why Not You Foundation? As I know as many of his other ventures have but it doesn't say it's for charity, so who knows. The reviews so far are positive midweeker major Ken. I don't want to poop on all your stories, Pop and it's Mid. That's fine because I just there's a lot of mid out there too, you know, doing cameo who bit a New I do think it's cool that he's giving the money.

00:28:06
Speaker 1: To charity, likely and doing all that. I do think people should try to f for them a little bit. I've seen there's a guy on TikTok and Instagram that tries to find like I guess you would say, like the Z level celebrities and has them say some weird stuff. So maybe someone gets Russell to we oddly say some stuff. Who knows? Why not just do AI? Why I haven't hire him, just do a.

00:28:26
Speaker 7: I know this.

00:28:27
Speaker 1: I wanted to completely dump on the story, but when you said charity was involved, you can now I have to say Mid. All right, mid story. But I thought it was the weakest at first, because Russell Wilson is well, he's a superstar. Whether you believe that or not, he really is a superstar of the NFL. Polarizing former champion, and I feel like Cameo's beneath him. I feel like it's where real celebrities go to die. Cameo is where like you're like D level stuff. Cameo's were like an nineties TV star that you haven't heard on long time, does like a shout out exactly exactly. That's where Who's Who's the guy from Family Matters? Julia White? No, his his buddy, the best friend, the best friend? Yeah, no, the best friend. Oh he has a name that rhymes oh uh Waldo?

00:29:16
Speaker 3: Was it Waldo?

00:29:21
Speaker 5: Yeah?

00:29:21
Speaker 1: If you want a cameo from Waldo Faldo, that makes sense, all right, Russell Wilson, come on, all.

00:29:27
Speaker 8: Right, Cavino, Before Rich hands over that show, Hey, Otani card, you might want to make him make sure he authenticates it, make sure it's real. That's exactly what one Dodgers fan had to do with that. Remember that home run ball with that Otani hit Game four of the NLCS where it went center field into the concession stands. Yeah, well, Dodger fan Carlos Bendoza was sitting there eating some nachos when he noticed the ball just kind of bouncing there. He's looking at the TV had no idea what was going on, jumped, grabbed the ball, scraped his knee, but got it. But because it was outside of the you know, the area of the stadium, the authenticators couldn't authenticate the ball.

00:30:04
Speaker 1: So in order for him to be.

00:30:05
Speaker 8: Able to put the ball up for auction, he not only had to go sign a an affidavid, he had to have a polygraph test taken to make sure that it was a real ball so that they did stamp it at the stadium to make sure it was from that day. But because it couldn't be seen, he had to jump through all these hoops just to make sure. And good thing he did, because the ball now listed with SEP auctions with the starting bid of two hundred.

00:30:28
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars a midweek or major. I think it's major. I think it's it's wild that this guy has to take a lie detector test, like, did the ball bounce to you for real?

00:30:37
Speaker 5: Sir?

00:30:37
Speaker 1: Beep beep, good one. It's wild, isn't it. Sure if you clench your cheeks you can pass the test. Yeah, yeah, I think it's majors. But I do because we'll all remember that home run ball and I've seen photos online of the ball stamped and dated and everything, and you know, I was wondering how they would figure that out. So I'm glad you cleared that up. But yeah, historic piece, and I think it's going to go for at least a million dollars. So yeah, that's major. Thank Coot, Thanks guys. Spot was that that picture of Kirby the picture of Kirby's butt with key k Yeah, was he in the middle of taking a live detective. It did look a little tight then, yeah, maybe he did squat clench.

00:31:13
Speaker 3: She should try legs at the gym someday.

00:31:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, that Kirby Yates. All right, let's go to Dan Buyer for an update.

00:31:18
Speaker 6: dB.

00:31:19
Speaker 1: What's doing my friends?

00:31:22
Speaker 4: You know, yesterday when Isaac Longcron was at this news desk, I was in prior to you guys filling in on the Doug Gottlieb Show, Isaac dropped when we were trying to figure out who the player was, Isaac dropped Mookie Butts. I thought it was very good, pretty a good job, Isaac. That is that is our Isaac again, A top five candidate to do the worm. Here at Fox Sports Radio, Arizona Cardinals place quartered by Kyler Murray on injured reserve because of his foot injury. This was head coach Jonathan Gannon earlier today explaining the situation with Murray right now.

00:31:56
Speaker 7: What he's going to concentrate on is getting healthy.

00:31:59
Speaker 6: He's not healthy enough to play and easy to get healthy so he can get back to playing football.

00:32:05
Speaker 7: Guys.

00:32:05
Speaker 4: Less than a week ago, at this time, we were wondering if Kyler Murray was going to have specific packages to play against the Cowboys on Monday Night. Now he's going to miss the next four games. So Jacoby Brissett in line to start Sunday against the Seahawks, and if he stays healthy, we'd start the next three games as well. So an interesting scenario in Arizona. The Houston Texans world quarterback c J. Stroud out of their Week ten matchup against Jacksonville because of his concussion, so Davis Mills will get this start on Sunday. Forty nine Ers quarterback Brock Perty limited in practice today. They've got the Rams on Sunday. Rams had good. Sean McVay says he expects wide receiver Pooka Nakua to play against the forty nine Ers on Sunday despite a rib injury suffered last Sunday in a win against the Saints. Notable running backs to sit out practice today in the NFL include Rico Dowdell of the Panthers, the Bills, James Cook, Patriots running back Romandre Stevenson, and Texans running back Nick Chubb. Notre Dame and Auburn have agreed to a home and home series in college football in twenty twenty seven and twenty twenty eight. The game in South Bend will take place on September twenty fifth to twenty seven, while the return game in twenty twenty eight at Auburn will be on October twenty eighth of that year. Michigan will not play Western Michigan and Frankfurt, Germany they had talked about it. Instead, that game will be hosted by the Wolverines in ann Arbor. You toadh Jazz center Walker Kessler is going to miss the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury that requires surgery. No Austin reefs for the Lakers tonight against the Spurs. Warriors without Jimmy Butler against the Kings, but Anthony Edwards is back from Minnesota as they face the next, and the Braves are picking up the option on Chris sales deal eighteen million dollars for the veteran pitcher.

00:33:32
Speaker 3: Guys.

00:33:32
Speaker 1: Back to you, yo, dB, Thanks buddy, Thanks guys, Love you dan By. I always good to see Dan. It looks like I'm seeing Jacoby Presette with you in Arizona. Huh, Kyler Murray, now get that way. But the question is is his foot really that bad or are they just using it as an excuse they put him on the list. He's out, all right. So when we get back, there's a there's a little rant by a guy we love, mid Dog Russo, but it has to do with fandom and something I'm going to roll my eyes at. And it's like, I don't know the press's expectation to be non biased. I'll explain next right here, Covino and Rich. Hey, welcome back to the Covino and Rich Show on Fox Sports Radio.

Anyone that loves sports that listens to our show, or Dan or Colin or any of the other fun shows here at Fox Sports Radio or any network for that matter, can we all simply agree, like there's no debate. People have their favorite teams. We all grew up loving sports, so we all grew up having teams that we rooted. I mean, there might be a sport where you're like, you know, I have a favorite team except for the NBA. I just like players. Or you might be like Cavino who has a favorite team but for football. He's like, football is the one sport I just like players like. But people have teams. Can we all agree that that's not a wild sentiment, not a wild sentiment, not at all. I mean, like, are you in fact, if you ask me anyone I've ever met my life, from schoolmates, in high school, college, neighbors. A lot of times I identify people in my mind sometimes by their teams, Like Iran, don't you associate even your grade school friends based on the teams that they like? Dude, you can name if you name one of my buddies. One of the first ways I guess I mentally identify them is like, oh yeah, you like, say the Dolphins and the and the and the you know, the heat or something, you.

00:36:13
Speaker 3: Know, like I found a middle school yearbook recently in my garage and a lot of the kids signed it go Lakers, Raiders, Dodgers, because that's that's how they see you.

00:36:22
Speaker 1: That's how they see you. Like Danny g you bleed the teams you love. That's what a sports fan does. So I want to play a little clip of mad Dog Russa before you get out of here, and again, we love mad Dog. We worked with this guy for years. He's hilarious. He's like unintentionally funny. He's a legend. He's a sports broadcasting legend, and anyone that does sports talk on TV or radio sort of deserves to give this guy some props because mad Dog did pave the way. Take a listen to what he said, though, when.

00:36:48
Speaker 9: You're a national broadcaster and you're the voice of the sport on a big stage, when you did a million playoff games, and then name one of the crippling launchers that are franchise is gonna have.

00:36:58
Speaker 1: And I got Joe based on the by he's not even cold yet.

00:37:01
Speaker 9: And I got show at Dodger Stadion doing a freaking Dodger parade. I got Joe Davis shaking everybody's hand. Give me a freak yo, I'm shaking freaking Tani's hand and he's freaking whacking getting rings. That is you could say I'm being hard. That's ridiculous, Chris, what's the big deal he dusted games? Nonsense, he's the voice of the World Series. Say he's supposed to be right down in the middle. Obviously he's wood his ass off for the Dodgers in the World Series. And everybody who I spoke to hated the idea. They sensed the jook. The Dodgers bought the World Series and has called the end was ridiculous.

00:37:35
Speaker 1: Now I'm fluent and Doggie because we worked with them. We actually shared a studio. If you can make sense of that. What he's saying is that announcer Joe Davis was there, the announcer of the broadcaster that we all watched call the game, Joe Davis was there, And he's insinuating that Joe Davis shouldn't have any sort of bias. And it appears that he has a Dodgers one when he's at the parade, so he has a gripe with that he.

00:37:58
Speaker 3: Was m seeing the event stage. I heard more complaints rich from Dodger fans during the World Series because they hated hearing him hype up the Blue Jays.

00:38:07
Speaker 1: Listen again, everyone works for a team on a national level. Hey, Ron Darling called the TBS games. Guess who he calls during the season. The Mets. They're picking the best of the Mets won the World Series with the Mets. Yeah, so, like Joe Davis, I think is the best of the best. You know, I love Gary Cohen for the Mets. There's there's a seleck few that are top tier guys. Joe Davis is one of them. Fox is lucky they had him on the call. I think he's great. But his day to day when he's not doing the National Game is the Dodgers. He has a relationship. It's there. He has a relationship with the Dodgers and their fans. And I think he called a very down the middle World Series. And I don't what is Matt dog Groups all talking about. Let me tell you a quick story before you get out of here. It's just bad optics is what he's saying as a broadcaster. And we always had this, I don't know this, this ill belief and illusion that you had to keep it down the middle, as if you're some sort of it's row, but it's weird, like not everyone's Rob Low wearing an NFL hat, Like we have alliances from your childhood until adulthood. I went to an All Star game for Baseball one time and I went to pick up my credentials at the box office at the stadium that the will call and I had a Mets jersey on it, and they're like, Sarah, you can't wear that when you pick up your credentials, and I laughed. I thought they were joking, Like no, no, I had to turn my jersey. I had to like take my jersey off just to get my credentials because that was biased. I'm like, yeah, but I'm a Mets fan. It's known. I'm not gonna pretend I'm not a Mets fan because I'm here at the All Star Game. So I just already passed that facan or we passed this election. It's like pretending wrestling remember when you were a kid, is like they were still the illusion to like, oh, it's wrestling real, Like we all have sports teams we root for. Get over it. Joe Davis, go Dodgers for you. We'll see you guys tomorrow. Until then, a rivedreci baby, We will see you in the Promised Land.

00:39:52
Speaker 6: Give bye.
