Speaker 1: Ben Rice? Maybe right?

00:02:46
Speaker 2: Who had a cat tap on the helmet, the new spokesman for Ben's original Rice. So, by the way, did you see Ben's original Rice commented and followed us. I did see that. We talked about it yesterday. You could follow our clips and follow us at Covino and Rich on Instagram and social media. So I got a question when it comes to baseball attire going too far sports gier. Let's say sports gear. The fact you're wearing stirrups today, the fact that I'm wearing full on uniform in the studio brings up that question. But first let's take a phone call and then in Mike's words of wisdom, all right, you know it's too much with baseball stuff, geared equipment. I know where you're going. But let me tell you, if you coach little kids, those memes are right where. It's like two thousand dollars worth of bats two hits or like every kid kids can't slide or they don't even know how to slide head first yet, but they all have these like ice cream Sunday looking sliding gloves and gear, and yo, everyone's got those little baseball necklaces and Dick Sporting is the real winners. But you know what, it's even more than that same. It's like specialty shops that sell high end stuff. Like I was telling you all the all the bats. Remember when you were a kid, you had two Eastern bats in the little league, dugout and had those rubber handles, the big barrel easton and then there was like ceramic bats for a second. But right now your kids get to a certain level that's like four or five hundred bucks.

00:04:06
Speaker 1: It's it's stupid, it really is, dude.

00:04:09
Speaker 4: I was wearing a pair of jeans and my soccer cleats bro Like.

00:04:14
Speaker 2: Wait, you didn't have the five hundred down on hype fire. You didn't have the drop ten hype fire. Okay, sorry, Mike wearing his like his his dungarees, tough skins, bro tough skins, his lee his lee jeans are his tough skins with the crease because they were ironed down in the middle.

00:04:32
Speaker 1: Right, I got him.

00:04:33
Speaker 2: They're husky us fit, husky fit, looking like he's a bad news bear.

00:04:38
Speaker 1: Seriously.

00:04:39
Speaker 2: All right, So before we get Mike's Wednesday words the wisdom, let's take this quick phone call. I don't want to cant people on Hold eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

00:04:46
Speaker 1: Who do we got?

00:04:47
Speaker 5: Danny g our boy Trip in Vegas wants to go in with some predictions, Trip Trip, What do you think, buddy boy?

00:04:52
Speaker 6: I got three predictions on the Red Sox. The Red Sox win. The crazy prediction, the Red Sox win the American League. Okay, If healthy Ronald Lacuna Junior wins the nl MVT, then the most crazy prediction will be when Coveno wins his bet. Rich will not pay you before Christmas?

00:05:09
Speaker 3: Wow?

00:05:12
Speaker 1: What a trash bag, rich trash back Davis. Yeah, played that to me and his money.

00:05:16
Speaker 2: You know, the Yankees won ninety four games last year. I don't see them doing worse than that this year with Garrett Cole so cole kel who talks like Patrick Mahomes slowed down right.

00:05:27
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, never used spider tech. But I am ready to get back on the mound this year.

00:05:32
Speaker 2: So very pumped to see them win. And I'm very pumped to win one thousand dollars again from Rich. What you're saying, we're going to have Garrett Cole trivia.

00:05:40
Speaker 5: No, No, they're actually actually we're going to be debuting Big Poppy trivia.

00:05:45
Speaker 1: Oh yes, wow, I can't That.

00:05:48
Speaker 3: Is coming up for the baseball season.

00:05:49
Speaker 2: Big Poppy's coming soon, giving away prizes. All right, So before we get into sports gear, let's welcome Mike. He's got words of wisdom every Wednesday, and if you could repeat it verbatim, you win a prize.

00:06:03
Speaker 1: Sammy boy hit it. Oh, it's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:06:10
Speaker 5: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place.

00:06:13
Speaker 3: He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody, here. He does not run this place.

00:06:19
Speaker 7: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday, Hi.

00:06:23
Speaker 4: Mike, Hello, gentlemen, In honor of Major League Baseball opening night, here we go. The long season starts with one pitch, but the belief starts before it's even thrown.

00:06:41
Speaker 1: Ooh, I like that one.

00:06:43
Speaker 2: That's a good one. I like that one ties in with the very special night.

00:06:49
Speaker 4: One more time, Mike, one more time. Yeah, the long season starts with one pitch, but the belief starts before it's even thrown.

00:07:02
Speaker 1: Man. By the way, Sam, good work on the gong, Great job on that.

00:07:05
Speaker 3: All right?

00:07:06
Speaker 1: So hey, Peter Bergman, who's with us live?

00:07:09
Speaker 2: Scott Fermeyer, stee Low and Stockton, everybody on the live chat, if you could repeat that verbatim. Colin in Canada eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox your chance to win a see on our prize pack some koozies just in time for baseball season, mini footballs, whatever we get. Throw in there, pair of socks, danyg you got extra throwing them dirty stirrups. Yeah, there you go, Dan Rod eighty eight. Everybody chiming in live, you could repeat that. K Rain nineteen West and Vegas. Everybody on the live chat eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, Well, take a look at the standings right now. And I say that because the Chicago White Sox are in first place just because they have an alphabetical so the if you're a fan of the Al Central, just take a look. Now, White Sox in first place. Guys, the Angels also in first place.

00:07:56
Speaker 4: Are you Are you the guy that's going to tell me after Aaron Judge hits a home run tonight, he's on pace to hit one sixty two this year.

00:08:02
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's gonna do it.

00:08:03
Speaker 2: Bro. So you know, I think he will hit a home run this year. And I think that dude has so much to prove that WBC just ignited so much fire and so many players, and I'm really excited to see that momentum carry over. Like I said, what if he gets the yips down? Now, what if it's I.

00:08:19
Speaker 1: Don't think that's happening.

00:08:20
Speaker 2: So it's not like the guy doesn't deal with pressure every day playing in New York. You know what I found funny about the baseball season. Besides your problem we're gonna talk about in a second. Covino's got a problem yes he does because of the new ABS system. This is a guy like Covino's Nightmare who always likes to fudge his height a little bit. That's bs bro five eleven and a good I always say very specifically five ten and three fourths. My license has five to eleven because I round it up, But my honest answer is five ten and three fourths.

00:08:51
Speaker 4: We'll give you that quarter inch. You can have it.

00:08:53
Speaker 1: Yeah, but hey, that's my honest answer.

00:08:55
Speaker 2: That is a story that we really haven't talked about a lot, but some people have lost up to three inches because they've been lying. The ABS system required that the players give accurate height analysis so that they could have the proper strike zone, and shoe hill Tani, believe it or not, went up an inch, So he went from six to three.

00:09:13
Speaker 1: To six four.

00:09:14
Speaker 2: So he's even more of a beast that un. I read every ten pounds you lose you Oh no, you meant height, Okay, so yeah, no, by the ways, every thirty forty pounds you look get some of the notable.

00:09:25
Speaker 1: Isaac.

00:09:27
Speaker 2: You know that there's some MLB players dealing with some shrinkage. This is what the what I'm reading here. You want to make annointment for that. You want to know what guys are dealing with some George Costanza shrinkage.

00:09:39
Speaker 1: You have the top ones.

00:09:41
Speaker 2: Gavin Lux formerly listed at six to two, is now five eleven. Like, that's embarrassing. That's a guy that was fun. That's like when you know someone fudges inches in anything, six five eleven, that's like, you know, yeah, that's that's I said.

00:09:59
Speaker 1: Some people actually bigger, I've I've fudged.

00:10:02
Speaker 2: I'm exactly six foot, but there have been people that are like, what are you like six one?

00:10:05
Speaker 8: I'm like, yeah, like I'm not gonna correct you, right, that's fair. Diego Pavia Vanderbilt, the quarterback. Yeah, on their you know, media guide during the season, they listed him as six foot and he's really like five nine or five ten.

00:10:18
Speaker 2: They well, you know what it's like. You know where this started. I was Sam, you're thinking rich maybe back in the day in baseball or football. No, when we were kids. If you watch WWE back then WWF wrestling, they like not only fudged it a little bit, they made every guy like mister Perfect or ravishing Rick Rude or the honky tongue fan. These guys they're like at two hundred and eighty five pounds, two hundred and eighty five pounds. These guys are like six foot like picture Tito Santana. I'm naming random guys, but picture like a uh like Sean Michaels.

00:10:53
Speaker 1: That guy's what chun. Michael's probably six foot seth.

00:10:56
Speaker 2: Two started in WWE wrestling because as a kid, I remember being like, but we did.

00:11:00
Speaker 1: Take high school football. Everybody just rounded up.

00:11:02
Speaker 2: Yeah, but rounding up is different than them saying Macho Man from Sarasota, Florida at two hundred and seventy pounds. Macho Man two hundred and seventy pounds, Macho Man. Rady Savage was probably six two two ten and the.

00:11:16
Speaker 9: One I always remember because there was always this Hulk Hogan.

00:11:20
Speaker 1: At three one hundred and three pounds.

00:11:23
Speaker 2: Three give you do you think Hogan was three hundred pounds? I mean he was big, but too sixty two seventy Come on, I don't know. I remember we have a Hulk Hogan workout set. In fact, I was Sam. We talked recently about workout gimmicks. Can you do a quick search on your system? There the hul Cogan workouts set. He talks about his height and weight, and I think every kid of the eighties got this for Christmas. Hogan was the first to fudge this.

00:11:51
Speaker 1: Listen, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:11:52
Speaker 3: How you doing, all you little hulsters.

00:11:54
Speaker 10: This is the incredible Hulk Hogan, the WWF Heavyweight Champion of the World. And I'm really excited about this.

00:12:01
Speaker 3: New hull Commania workout.

00:12:02
Speaker 10: So, hulks, you know, the Hulkster is six foot seven two inches from heaven and I wait, three oh five and I can whip any man.

00:12:09
Speaker 8: He can stop it there, you can tell six seven, three oh five. He just said those things. He could rhyme, rhyme. He's a big dude. Rest in peace. I was always a fan.

00:12:19
Speaker 2: I know he had people had reasons to not like him, but I you know, I was a little hulk of maniac as a kid.

00:12:24
Speaker 1: I could separate the man and the hero.

00:12:28
Speaker 2: Hulk Holly was not three oh five six seven six seven six seven, come on, give me your break, but no Gavin Lux six two now five eleven to you see bow nailers, the worst bo.

00:12:40
Speaker 1: Nailor went from six foot to five nine. That's the most embarrassing.

00:12:45
Speaker 2: Like then, his teammates ever look at him and be like, yo, dude, it says six foot up on the screen.

00:12:50
Speaker 1: There's no way.

00:12:50
Speaker 2: Can you know how that five cavi you know, has a buddy that's so a little on the shorter side, and he at one point investigated Have you guys ever heard of hide increasing shoes?

00:12:58
Speaker 3: Of course, timber lens.

00:13:00
Speaker 8: Baby George couldn't take them off over an idiot wearble.

00:13:03
Speaker 2: They sell all those insuls all the time too on social media, have you I'll be honest, there was one time I went to it like a doctor's appointment. You know, when they measure you, you know, they pull down your pants. No, when the doctor is like all right, he wrote down on my chart something like five eleven and three quarters one ninety something, I'm.

00:13:23
Speaker 1: Like, what are we doing? No one's ever set him under six foot let's I was like upset about it. Yeah, stand up straight, you got it.

00:13:31
Speaker 3: There's people now, people.

00:13:33
Speaker 4: Are going out and getting elective surgery to have their bones lengthened.

00:13:38
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, that's so they can be Taller's crazy deal. People are bone smashing Mike just to get a sweet jaw.

00:13:44
Speaker 1: Lines.

00:13:45
Speaker 2: These young idiots taking hammers to their face. I'm aware, Alex.

00:13:49
Speaker 1: They could just call me.

00:13:50
Speaker 2: I'll take care of it, Alex Bragman. If you're dumb enough to do it, you can hire Mike Alex Bregman. The funny part about him is that they've shown his player profile and over the past four years he lost an inch every year. Alex Bregman went from sixth one to six foot to five eleventh to now five to tens so five tens so Alex.

00:14:12
Speaker 1: Bregman lost an inch a year for the last four years.

00:14:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's sort of embarrassing. And if you missed that story, it's because of the ABS system. The strike zone works with your height, like it's like you how to get accurate height from all these players And now the truth is coming out and it's it's embarrassing, but it's also kind of you know, I'll give him credit, even though he's never given us a shout out. I'm a fan of John Boy and his lip reading, and I think he's a great broadcaster, great deal, great.

00:14:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:14:37
Speaker 2: John Boy actually displayed how he stood on like a milk crate, and he showed how the strike zone would change if you're al tuve to see I think John Boy is not a tall guy. Think he's like maybe five nine or five to ten. He showed how his height versus if he stood on a milk rate. How ABS has found a way to digitally figure out every players exact strikes on pretty cool when you think about it. We have the technology, yeah again getting it right, and I'm all for it. And I think if the umpires just have that type of attitude, it's just better for the game. It doesn't make them look bad.

00:15:13
Speaker 4: I don't I don't understand why we're even bothering making the umpires make the call in the first place. Just let ABS make the calls and the umpires then the umpires don't look like it.

00:15:24
Speaker 1: I have a better idea, better idea.

00:15:26
Speaker 2: Could we take a pay You know, we were talking the other day about how the Globetrotters did something different than the NBA. Banana ballure is given a fun perspective on baseball, and now flag football might be doing that for football. What if we took a page out of banana ball, the Savanna bananas. What if it's something gimmicky like if an ump in Major League Baseball gets more than three challenges wrong, they smashed from the face.

00:15:49
Speaker 1: Of the pie like something humil a wedgie from the team captain, like all of.

00:15:55
Speaker 2: A sudden like imagine imagine that, like the Philly fanatic comes out with a pie and it's like, you.

00:15:59
Speaker 1: Go to Aby, he got it wrong for the fourth.

00:16:03
Speaker 2: Maybe that's what Netflix has up their sleeve tonight because they're planning in a big event. No, you get more than three a ABS calls wrong pie to the face out of the humiliating I don't fix all right. So again, speaking of making the call, your calls now at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox if you can guess Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom, we'll get to your phone calls next. And do I have a problem, Let me just set this up. I'll set it up real quick. I'm a big fan of sports merchandise, as we all.

00:16:31
Speaker 1: Are, right sports gear.

00:16:33
Speaker 2: I don't think I go overboard by any means, because I don't think I'm an overboard fanatic. I think I have a healthy relationship with sports. What do you think the over under is for me? When it comes to Yankee hats? Yankee hats? Someone brought this up in our live chat yesterday. Well, I don't want to be a Yankee hat. Not just not hats period, just Yankee hat. I don't want to tell people how to live their life. You know you do if you want to, if you want to, you know, over indulge in something.

00:17:01
Speaker 1: Hey have at it.

00:17:02
Speaker 2: But there's a picture that if you're watching our YouTube chat, our video guys spot has this picture Canino laid out all his Yankee hats.

00:17:11
Speaker 1: Like, what am I gonna wear this year? Dude? I'll just say this. It looks like a lid store. I'm like one for every day of the season.

00:17:18
Speaker 2: I was yesterday. I started on the live chat Manny Munos. Manny Munos of of the Cavino and Rich Nation of Fox Sports Radio said, hey, what do you think he's over unders? How many hats does he have? Well we have an answer, having to have an answer, and I took a picture of them, and honestly, it's like, you know you have one head, right, But I got lots of different shirts and different color.

00:17:41
Speaker 1: Comes like do you see my blue heaven?

00:17:44
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:17:44
Speaker 1: Of course is like why do you have all these copies of this book? You stole all the books? Like what if I want to read it more than once? You got to switch it out to stay fresh.

00:17:55
Speaker 2: So we'll we'll get to some sports gear. We'll chop it up with you.

00:17:59
Speaker 1: Guys.

00:18:00
Speaker 2: How many do you think I have? And when does it become a problem? That's the question. And if you have a problem, we'll figure it out. What's the answer for jerseys? If you're a big basketball fan, if you have blank number of jerseys, maybe you need to slow down, like do we have numbers in mind? And we got Midweek Major more Cavino and Rich and the answer to that question next right here on Fox Sports Radio. That is your business struggling to find qualified candidate.

Speaker 2: Want to see a good pimple popped? Do you want to see someone wash their ear out and all this gross ear wax comes out?

00:22:14
Speaker 1: Yes?

00:22:15
Speaker 2: Or do you want to watch someone like hould an ingrown hair that's like five feet long?

00:22:21
Speaker 1: I mean, how about none of them?

00:22:22
Speaker 3: Yeah?

00:22:22
Speaker 2: How about I want to get you don't watch those? I want to see some booty shaken. Yeah, I do want to see that.

00:22:27
Speaker 3: The ear thing's kind of fascinating.

00:22:28
Speaker 2: You see that people they clash their ear out and you're like, oh my god, I ear some guys weird cyst Like, I don't need to see that, but your foot fungus, I'm good, all right? So I can't see cool things. I don't need to see all that other stuff. But before how about this, you want to see my hat collection before we.

00:22:43
Speaker 1: Do Midweek Major?

00:22:43
Speaker 2: I do want to see your hat collection, Danny g over other on Yankee hats, not just hats, just Yankees hats because our boy, mister Muno hit us up and he's like, Yo, what do you think the over under is? My guess would have been twelve, and I was way I was way low.

00:23:00
Speaker 3: I mean, if you would have asked me before I saw the picture, I would have said thirty.

00:23:06
Speaker 1: Sam Andy guesses on.

00:23:07
Speaker 2: Your hat collection? Yeah, just yeah Yankees, Oh, just Yankees. I'll say thirty five low and Crown you have a get do you have a number, because I didn't know what was high er low?

00:23:16
Speaker 9: Anyway, I'm gonna make this twenty six because I think that's the number of championships the Yankees.

00:23:23
Speaker 1: Have won, twenty seven. Twenty seven. Then also the number of Little League home runs Cavino heads.

00:23:28
Speaker 2: Also, yeah, the answer is And I was surprised because again Wes in Vegas, guys, a bunch of guys were speculating yesterday on the chat, how many you think he has just Yankees hats as of now? Because of course you give some away, you add some new ones. I got thirty going on. There's a picture you could see. You can see the collection right there at Coveno and rich FSR on YouTube, Covino and rich FSR on YouTube. Because look, especially with the Yankees, they don't even have city connect jerseys or hats or different anything. So you got to just find other variation to match your outfit, to match your sneakers or whatever. So you gotta have other options. Should wear a new one every time John Carlo miss is a game because he's.

00:24:07
Speaker 1: Been oh Man. So yeah, I'm at one thirty right now.

00:24:10
Speaker 2: By the end of the season, probably close to low forty maybe, but I'm at thirty and you can see that now. The question is when does it become a problem. How many jerseys do you have? Rich?

00:24:22
Speaker 12: I have?

00:24:24
Speaker 1: I have four jerseys. You know what I got? I got six.

00:24:27
Speaker 2: I was like, let's solve this. But right now, something we do every week, I love it. Iowa Sam has taken over for our video guy spot. Something we call midweek Major.

00:24:36
Speaker 1: Let's go.

00:24:38
Speaker 7: Covino and Rich get you over the middle of the week when mid Week major Major.

00:24:44
Speaker 10: Oh.

00:24:44
Speaker 1: I love that.

00:24:45
Speaker 7: We throw sports and pop culture headlines and topics at the fellas and it's like the kids.

00:24:51
Speaker 11: Say, that's some week definitely major.

00:24:54
Speaker 7: Seeing our scoring midweek major, ah yeah, I got a.

00:25:00
Speaker 5: Quick here to give our fill in. Iowa Sam at least seven full minutes.

00:25:03
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:25:04
Speaker 2: He might Tom Brady our maybe our video guy spot is drew bledsoe.

00:25:08
Speaker 7: I don't know.

00:25:09
Speaker 5: Before I hand things over to the number one and only fill in hosts of the segment, Let's roll the two big red love dice to the main stat.

00:25:15
Speaker 1: I just rolled the nine right now, it's a ritual, Ah Rich roll seven.

00:25:22
Speaker 3: Well, that means Covino gets first take.

00:25:24
Speaker 5: And now, ladies and gentlemen, the most famous person besides Jenny Hart from Iowa City, Iowa, Iowa.

00:25:31
Speaker 1: Sam, Hey, Sammy sweetheart, let's go.

00:25:33
Speaker 8: Hey guys, all right, I was told you guys held off on discussing this story just for me.

00:25:39
Speaker 1: I appreciate it.

00:25:40
Speaker 8: We start with Pookah, the nibbler Nakua. Get this guy to step in for that McDonald's executive next time someone needs to take a big bite of something, am I right?

00:25:54
Speaker 3: All right? We know the talent with Pooka, guys, we know the talent.

00:25:58
Speaker 8: He does big things on thee and but lately he draws plenty of attention off the field, and allegedly he had a pretty crazy December this past year. In a lawsuit, a woman named Madison Atiabi claims that Nikua bit her Charlie. You bit me while they were at a dinner on New Year's even. At some point, she claims he blurted out in anti semitic comment. Now to her fresh people's memories. It was also in December of his past year that Puka went on a live stream with some dummies and was captured performing a gesture that many found many people found to be anti semitic. Eventful December for Puka. Now back to the lawsuit. Puka's representation says it's all a cash grab. His lawyer doesn't deny that Puka bit her playfully, but not hard enough to cause actual pain and suffering. His lawyer also notes that miss Atiyabi joined Puka at a club later that night. His legal team plans to file a defamation claim. Puka in the news again. Mid weaker major, very major.

00:26:49
Speaker 2: First of all, he's a high profile player, very likable guy. He had everything to gain with a sweet deal. Moving forward, you have Jackson Smith and Jigba, a pretty sweet deal. You don't think Pooka Nakoa was about to make some moves and you got this news.

00:27:06
Speaker 1: Not good, not good.

00:27:08
Speaker 2: It's a big time surprise, I would say, because a lot of people now go online from man we love Puoka to is there an ab situation going on?

00:27:19
Speaker 1: I hope not so.

00:27:20
Speaker 2: I hope a lot of this is not true because we've interviewed him several times. Everybody that meets the guy loves the guy. So this is like a total total one to eighty from what we knew of Nacoa. And who would hate to see his career go down like that and his money go away. I'm gonna say major and I'll tell you why. I think Puka makes poor decisions, but not based on him being a bad dude at all.

00:27:41
Speaker 1: In fact, we've had him on the show many times, and I think Puka is a really good guy.

00:27:46
Speaker 2: I think can I make the comparison, Remember Mantiteya was naive when he was playing for Notre Dame and entering the league, where he was just like, you know, there was like a nevity to him that was like, oh man, I've got a wise enough. He can't hang with the wrong people. I think Puka let these boneheads make him do a gesture. He didn't even know what he was doing, if you remember that, And I think he just linked up with the wrong girl, probably playfully bit her, and she's like, oh my god, I'm hurt.

00:28:10
Speaker 1: I mean while she goes to the club that I don't know.

00:28:12
Speaker 2: I didn't start with criticism of the referees, like there was a lot of stuff leading up to where we're at right now.

00:28:18
Speaker 1: I don't know.

00:28:18
Speaker 2: I think Puka's just, uh, let's hope, putting himself in bad situations.

00:28:24
Speaker 1: All right, pressing on here, let's go to baseball.

00:28:26
Speaker 8: It's Opening Day, Opening Night, Yankees to Giants tonight eight oh five Eastern five or five Pacific time. As you guys have talked about, listen, the rollout of last year's game where we had a game on in the middle of the night in Korea versus one game on Netflix is get things all started.

00:28:42
Speaker 3: How do you like the rollout midweek or major.

00:28:44
Speaker 1: The rollout of one game? Yeah, well the role I think it's cool. I was just like one game as opposed.

00:28:49
Speaker 8: To last year. The first game wasn't on, like you had to wake up at two in the morning to watch it. So this year, this year, it's like easy, it's on Netflix. It's on I reason's storr and.

00:28:58
Speaker 2: I think that's why Netflix is marketing this as like a big event. I'm curious to see what's happening. But the fact that everybody gets to tune in to watch one game tonight, I think.

00:29:08
Speaker 1: Is a big deal.

00:29:08
Speaker 2: And I think it's a nice way to start this season, and especially as the Yankees family.

00:29:11
Speaker 3: No, I think, and Netflix dipping into baseball from the first.

00:29:15
Speaker 2: I like that, And I'll tell you a lot of people hate that because like, oh, well, it's Netflix are another streaming service. Hey, we're guys, We're evolving. We stream things, right, I'm curious to see what Netflix does. I think it's cool. No, what I do miss though, You know how you love traditions sometimes where it's like every Thanksgiving, what do we get the Lions and the Cowboys hosting games?

00:29:32
Speaker 4: Right?

00:29:34
Speaker 2: Remember the Cincinnati Reds. Wasn't their tradition when we were younger, the Reds had the first game every year?

00:29:39
Speaker 1: I maybe I don't know if I like the rotation. I just feel like that could have been a cool tradition they kept.

00:29:43
Speaker 2: But hey, Yankees, giants have fun and I'd enjoy all right, And we'll go to one of Rich's mini Bailey Wicks, one of his many areas of specialty for another story.

00:29:53
Speaker 8: Guys, I don't know how relevant magazines are these days. I don't know how relevant Sports Illustrated is these days, but Sports Straighted just dropped a preview. If it's a yearly swimsuit edition, it features the likes of are you listening?

00:30:04
Speaker 4: Rich?

00:30:05
Speaker 3: Maybe done?

00:30:06
Speaker 8: Another beautiful women, but Libby Dunn, she's in there, and I know Rich's ears just perked up. Is this something you'd peruse Rich Davis and Steve Covino midweek or major?

00:30:14
Speaker 2: Uh?

00:30:15
Speaker 1: Definitely major?

00:30:16
Speaker 9: Yeah.

00:30:19
Speaker 2: I think these brands, like we started our radio career for Maxim Radio, remember that magazine, Maxim, and our job was to bring.

00:30:26
Speaker 1: That to life on the radio.

00:30:28
Speaker 2: These brands Sports Illustrated, they still exist, but in different forms and on social media. And I still think we still get some very beautiful women and cool names out of it. Yeah, I agree, Livy, don Brooks, Nader, a lot of these Baywatch reboot people, some great athletes. What I don't like is that it's Sports Illustrated. Man, I don't want to say people yengch was holding, Adam Dunn was on the cover. What were we gonna say? I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan of Sports Illustrated. Welcoming all body time and I'll tell you why. Because it's not a campaign for a product, it's sports illustrated. These are supposed to be athletes, so when they include all body types like swimsuits on, I say, like, all body types should be included in life, in society, dating, the world sports.

00:31:15
Speaker 3: You should be athletic.

00:31:16
Speaker 1: Alejandro Kirk would disagree with you. Yeah, like, if they do what a.

00:31:19
Speaker 2: Bodies isshue for dudes, they shouldn't be putting, you know, put it athletic.

00:31:23
Speaker 1: I don't know, that's my thought, but that's just me. No offense.

00:31:26
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't mean to put you on the spot. I had no idea where you were going around. I say, like, I saw some of the things, and I'm like, yeah, but shouldn't just be for like fit people.

00:31:32
Speaker 3: Oh, I don't know. You saying no offense fixes everything.

00:31:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, he said no offense, guys, no offense. He did say no offense, guys. I said no offense. You did, You're fine? I did say no offense.

00:31:40
Speaker 8: And speaking of bodies, last story here like father, like son, no offense. Arnold Schwarzenegger's son Joseph Bayena, the child he shares with his former housekeeper Mildred. This young man definitely got some of Dad's physical characteristics, and he's about to make his professional bodybuilding debut in Colorado this weekend, no offense. Joseph appears to be as tall as Dad, about six and he's built like a brick chimney. Nothing but love between father and son, and it's nice to see Dad coaching him up to take over the family business. This is, honestly, guys, a wonderful story. I already sold you on it. Midweek or major, Oh, this is major.

00:32:12
Speaker 1: This is really cool. Again.

00:32:13
Speaker 2: This was his illegitimate son. This is who we're talking about, Arnold's son. And what happened was he was always very big and he resembled Arnold, but he's gotten ripped and I followed his yoke tath. Yeah, he's he's very shredded right now and you're seeing like, wow, he really does got a lot of.

00:32:28
Speaker 1: That in him. So I love the story.

00:32:30
Speaker 2: I love how Arnold've embraced, embraced He's made a great out of this, openly his dad, he's openly his son.

00:32:37
Speaker 1: Very cool to see. I think his major and I wish him all the best.

00:32:39
Speaker 2: He's a really personable guy to really funny dude, I love everything about the story. Yep, Arnold taking accountability because being the dad doing everything. I think it's fan fantastic nofense and.

00:32:50
Speaker 3: That's midweek major guys.

00:32:51
Speaker 2: No, thank you, great job. I was Sam Sami boy. Thanks bringing you the biggest stories in world of the sports and pomp culture. We decigne are they mid week major?

Speaker 3: We do it everyone day?

00:33:00
Speaker 1: All right you wanna yeah?

00:33:02
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, to wrap up our previous discussion, when is it a problem as far as sports skier it's like your your wifey, your girlfriend with bags and things like that.

00:33:12
Speaker 1: It's like when do you step in and say, hey, you.

00:33:16
Speaker 2: Can say that about dudes or women with watches and jewelry or sneakers or shoes, like, well, yo, what's too much?

00:33:22
Speaker 1: You don't think about it. We'll go to I loove front update first. What's up, buddy?

00:33:26
Speaker 9: Isaac Rich hasn't said no offense that much since discussing the twenty twenty five Mets. Anyway, sorry, we started man all uphill from here. We will actually start in New York where today NBA Commissioner Adam Silvertil reporters that a special Board of governors meeting will be held in May to reform the NBA's draft lottery format in an effort to address tanking. Today, the NBA's Board of Governors also unanimously voted for the league to explore bids for potential expansion teams in Seattle and Las Vegas. Hey, are you into video games, celebrities or just a good time question?

00:34:05
Speaker 1: I know I am.

00:34:06
Speaker 9: The Global Gaming League is a video game league with celebrity owned teams celebrities like te Pay and Neo competing in everything from Call of Duty to Tetris. Sign up and join the league now at Globalgaming League dot com. In the NFL, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes posted a video on his Instagram stories today of himself dropping back and throwing passes, just over three months after having surgery to repair his torn left ACL. Finally, labor negotiations between the NFL and the NFL Referees Association abruptly broke off today. The nfl ara's collective bargaining agreement expires the end of May. Referees Association Executive director Scott Green told reporters, quote, we asked them to give us a response, and they refused. They then got up and left unquote back to you guys.

00:34:58
Speaker 1: Thank you, Isaac.

00:35:00
Speaker 2: Continuebody, I'm kind of put someone on the spot to make some sense of something for me because I feel like I know the answer. But we have a room here, pretty knowledgeable folks. If Travis Kelcey is definitely gonna play one more year, what was the strategy of the three year deal?

00:35:15
Speaker 7: Is it?

00:35:17
Speaker 2: Is it to almost spread out money? Is it to give him the option to stay?

00:35:20
Speaker 11: Like?

00:35:21
Speaker 1: Why why the three year deal?

00:35:22
Speaker 2: The understanding is you're getting one and probably not the other two? Or is the understanding what's the strategy to get one and then maybe a year it retires with the Chiefs like they want to make sure he's you have a three year but I don't know what he really not retire with the Chiefs. I just feel like, is there is it spreading money out where they're I don't know, just I mean, Bee, you're guaranteeing at least another year, maybe to work with the younger players, like to make it a transition of sorts.

00:35:49
Speaker 5: It's still structured as a one year deal with twelve million in the first year and three million in incentives.

00:35:54
Speaker 3: Wow.

00:35:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, interesting, So maybe it's like the parting gift. Danny g and now were talking about it. Additional years are because of the salary cap. It's to help.

00:36:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

00:36:03
Speaker 2: So yeah, thing, okay, all right, cool, Danny, appreciate you guys and appreciate all the feedback at eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.

Speaker 2: I believe it. I believe in the run it Back Yankees. And then the final question of the day was if Spotty, our video guy, could pull up the picture again, you could see my collection of Yankees hats have a lot and it's like it's an ever changing collection. There's new ones there's old ones, you know. I got rid of a bunch of old ones. I gave him to my nephew. I'm gonna be buying new ones probably this week.

00:39:18
Speaker 1: I always do. But right now I have thirty. I think you got a prop.

00:39:22
Speaker 2: Shout out to Manny, Munhos and Wes and Vegas and everybody on the chat guessing thirty was the total of just Yankees hats.

00:39:32
Speaker 1: When is it an issue? And at what point do you stop? It's a lot.

00:39:36
Speaker 5: I think we got a card though, Like Scott said, you're in the sports radio and TV business video.

00:39:42
Speaker 1: We're on video all the time.

00:39:45
Speaker 2: I don't have I don't have necessarily an NFL team or an NBA team, right so I'm limited to just Yankees gear. Got to mix up the color combinations there.

00:39:54
Speaker 1: So I got thirty. Rich is a guy that doesn't wear hats really at all. I mean, would you if you had this hair?

00:39:59
Speaker 7: No?

00:39:59
Speaker 2: So that's I'm saying, like, I don't know if thirties like excessive in today's world, you could buy these so easily, you know, how would you find some? I have a related question real quick, and I know we're gonna get out of here, but I saw the Mets posted a video and again, Mets are my team. Sorry for the Mets Yankees overdoing it, but they are two of the hottest teams.

00:40:18
Speaker 3: They are.

00:40:19
Speaker 2: So they questioned all twenty six guys Danny g on the Mets opening day roster, what uniform do you like the best? And I'm talking like a significant amount of guys on the team. We're like, oh, I like those, uh, those like alternate Met black jerseys with the blue Mets on it. And if a majority of the guys are like, yo, that's my jersey. Do you think the players should have influence on rotations of jerseys or is that the clubhouseman you want them to feel the more I'm saying, like, if that's the clubhouse manager guy, because fans were noting in the comments, like not one Met player said the city connect Well, they didn't have like a winning reputation with the black jerseys, right, yeah, but everyone's like, set them change the reputation.

00:41:02
Speaker 5: This would be like if our boss has had control of Covino's rotation with his Yankees hats.

00:41:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, needs to have that feel the past, especially when you're out there on a big stage.

00:41:14
Speaker 7: Man.

00:41:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the players should control what they're wearing on that game. And a reminder the jersey rules. If your team doesn't have a name on the jersey, you don't have a name on the jersey. If if you're the Yankee, if you're a Yankees fan and they and it says number ninety nine, it doesn't say judge.

00:41:33
Speaker 1: No, So the rules, it.

00:41:34
Speaker 2: Can only say number one grandma or grandpa? Yeah great, Yeah, the number one pass. And if a player got traded from your team or left in free agency, you got to put that jersey aside until they retire. If it's a legend or just get rules. Yeah, you can't break those rules.

00:41:49
Speaker 1: And I think.

00:41:52
Speaker 2: The safest bed is always a retired legend, Like you can't go wrong with that. But you know, have fun baseball seasons here.

00:41:59
Speaker 1: I'm pumped.

00:42:00
Speaker 2: I think that this is the time of year where you're right, there's something to watch every night, so there's no excuse and you know what a bit of a homework assignment, but it'll be fun tune in to watch the Yankees giants. Make Netflix observation. Make some Netflix observations. What what's part of this big event and what you like, what you don't like? Jameis Winston and more, and we'll chop it up tomorrow and we'll do some old school and fifty hits.

00:42:20
Speaker 1: I'd have a great night. Guys.

00:42:22
Speaker 2: Enjoy Opening Day Baseball, March mad This continues tomorrow. A rivendetti baby, see you, and the promise

00:42:31
Speaker 1: Yankees win
