And Hey, while you're at if you want to see what we're doing, we got the YouTube page. Go on YouTube dot com. Slash at coven on Rich FSR. Really appreciate the support.

00:00:30
Speaker 3: Love you guys.

00:00:31
Speaker 2: I know it's cool about this. You're witnessing a first listen. Rich never heard Mob Deep in his life, So there you go.

00:00:38
Speaker 4: Rich, you're from the East Coast.

00:00:40
Speaker 2: Come on, Rich wakes up to clowns. Never let people beanstucks. Never so is Covino and Rich Iowa Sam on the Ones and Twoes, Danny G referenced some Mob Deep before, so we're playing some of that if you're listening to the podcast later on. Danny G's on the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox He's our producer. Spots on the videos getting ready for midweek major. We go over all the stories in the world of sports and pop culture. Are they mid week or major stories? We do that every Wednesday. But talking Baker, first question, should we be shocked he was the number one overall pick, but now he's playing like it.

00:01:18
Speaker 3: I want to take you back, do do do?

00:01:20
Speaker 1: Do?

00:01:21
Speaker 3: Do? Take you back the year. It was twenty eighteen, which is what only seven years ago. It was the year of the me too movement. You know a lot of women me too. It was the year Black Panther was a big movie, the Royal Wedding. It was pre Covid.

00:01:38
Speaker 2: I got something that you'll you'll remember. I think I was supporting the Yo Tambien movement back in the day.

00:01:44
Speaker 3: Tom Ben.

00:01:45
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now you were way into a Remember Yodel Boy. I remember Yoda Boy?

00:01:49
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like that was Covino's favorite Yoda Boy. Little He was at there like a supermarket yodel boy.

00:02:01
Speaker 2: So Yodel Boy was all the rage, and Baker Mayfield was your number one pick. And I want to just go over that draft for a second, because it's really interesting looking back because we love to grade drafts, right, like what a bust? Because that was the draft that all these quarterbacks were taking.

00:02:21
Speaker 3: It.

00:02:21
Speaker 2: So your number one pick in that draft was Baker Mayfield. Let's go down to number two, se Kwon Barkley. There's a guy that changed his.

00:02:30
Speaker 3: Stars, right yeah, new Life. Number three Sam Darnold another guy that got New Life.

00:02:37
Speaker 2: Well again, these are people that were sort of written off, but they didn't right back.

00:02:42
Speaker 3: Also in the top ten, number seven, Josh Allen. You remember some fans were.

00:02:47
Speaker 2: Like Josh Allen, wrong Josh, because number ten was Josh Rosen.

00:02:51
Speaker 3: Yeah. Remember he was like, I'm gonna show everyone, Yeah, show No.

00:02:55
Speaker 5: One.

00:02:55
Speaker 2: And if you go all the way down to number thirty two at the end of the first round, that was Lamara. So all these quarterbacks we talk about on a Daly Lamar, Josh Allen, Baker, Sam Darnold, you could thrown These are guys that are, you know, drafted in twenty eighteen.

00:03:12
Speaker 3: This is year eight. Then right for them, you know, seven eight years now, who's gonna win one? They're not all gonna win one. I'm not even talking about this year. I'm talking about in their career.

00:03:23
Speaker 2: There's gonna be this generation's, like I said, Philip Rivers or Dan Marino or Dan.

00:03:29
Speaker 3: Fouts, the guy that just never got there.

00:03:31
Speaker 2: Well, I will start this by saying, I will be shocked if Baker Mayfield wins one. He's setting up to win one, he's playing like he wants to win one. He was the number one pick, like you said, But I still would be shocked just based on his journey of ups and downs, like the meme goes, and I love it. He's proving to be the Tom Brady of Johnny Manziel's. Baker Mayfield is the Tom Brady of Johnny Manziel. So I'd be shocked if he did now, but I think he could. But that also takes away another year where someone else could have won. So who ends up winning who doesn't? Well, quarterbacks in the league when you were a younger man, when we were grown up, we always talk about how Michael Jordan really ce blocked so many people from winning an Aja down Ewing, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Sean Kemp, Clyde to Glide. A lot of these guys never got their flowers, never got there, never got their due, never won one because Michael Jordan decided to be greedy and three peat twice. Right, Is Mahomes doing that same thing to those other AFC quarterbacks. The simple fact that he's been to five won three of them. Can you look back, maybe a decade.

00:04:50
Speaker 3: From now and be like, well, yeah, Josh Allen or Lamar the reason they never won one was because it's that damn Patrick Mahomes.

00:04:56
Speaker 2: Is Mahomes doing is he? There's always one guy it's in your way of something? To me, it's Mario Lopez. Can we give someone else a shine or what? There's no root for another young Latino guys? Yeah, guy, he's hosting everything for you. It's probably Ryan Seacrest, Dan Bayer, Let someone else have a chance. Dan Byer, who's with us every afternoon, one of the great guys here at Fox Sports Radio. He's a big golf guy, and I believe he made the analogy that there are so many golfers that Tiger Wood's unfortunately got in the way of. Now, when you are the runner up and you're in the top ten in golfing, you still make big money on these tours. But there are guys that missed out on major championships because there was a time where Tiger was winning everything. And when you look back, who do you think it's gonna be? That's the question here on Fox Sports Radio. Who's the person that just doesn't win one? Who's this generation's Marino or Philip Rivers? That is clearly a Hall of Fame type of guy. You know, you're Matt Ryan, You're a guy that couldn't get it done. If we're just following how things are heading, now, Lamar has to come to mind because he's a guy that's always coming so close and plays so big, and now it looks like the whole team is playing like ass.

00:06:08
Speaker 3: He might be ass.

00:06:09
Speaker 2: So it might be him because again, based on the theory, is not everybody could win.

00:06:16
Speaker 3: Not everyone's probably we know that.

00:06:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, if we know that there are Dan Marino's out there and Jim Kelly's out there, not everybody wins one. And and you know what, Joe Burrow, you saw those analogies like is he's sort of like Andrew's luck?

00:06:29
Speaker 3: Right, he might not have the luck, He might not have the health to get there.

00:06:32
Speaker 1: Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio wapp.

00:06:42
Speaker 6: Pally Fools Gohay with Tony Foosco Yea as everybody knows we're the hosts of the award winning Polly and Tony Foosco Show. Yeah, but instead of us telling you how great we are, here's how Dan Patrick described us when he came on our show.

00:06:54
Speaker 3: Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated. What are you doing?

00:07:00
Speaker 1: Promo? Yeah, it wasn't talking about you.

00:07:02
Speaker 4: You took those clubs totally of context.

00:07:05
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you out and beat you.

00:07:09
Speaker 3: Let me put this into context. Shut up.

00:07:12
Speaker 6: Yeah, anyway, just listen to the Pauly and Tony Fusco Show on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

00:07:18
Speaker 2: Yea, hey, good morning. It's Mark Goodman eighties on eight. That's Hall of Oates, the most successful duo of all time. Coming up. We have men at work and wham e love me some Mark Goodman. By the way, come you on, Rich and for Dan Patrick on Fox Sports Radio. Do it live from the Fox Sports Radio studio. And you did hear your pal and my pal Mark Goodman, So matter of factly say, Hall of Oates most successful duo. And that's what got me though, Rich is so matter of fact attitude about it? Where I'm like of all time. Wow, I mean you would know? Yeah, I mean they're great. There's no debate there. I'm not debating the greatness of haul of notes.

00:08:09
Speaker 3: But is that fact?

00:08:13
Speaker 2: Chat ChiPT says Simon and GARDLFUONK call Mike who runs his place, who's gonna give us our words of wisdom? In a little bit, said he was listening on the show on his drive in and said he was getting so mad, saying.

00:08:23
Speaker 3: Shire a guard vocal, Si guarduck. Who's that to you?

00:08:28
Speaker 2: And you can also tie it into sports because there seems to be one obvious answer, but there's one that no one's brought up yet. And chat GPT says this arguably a close, very close number two. But before we get to your phone calls at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox again Covino and Rich and for Dan Patrick, got to tell you about.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: Ti Iraq Tire Iraq.

00:08:50
Speaker 2: For over forty years, Tyrak's been helping customers find the right tires for how, what and where they drive, ship fast and free back by free road hazard protection with convenient installation options like mobile iron installation, tire rack dot com.

00:09:02
Speaker 3: The way tire buying should be I just asked Chad GVT what the best rack is and tired didn't come up. That's weird, very weird.

00:09:09
Speaker 2: Alright, let's go to your feedback listen in the world of sports. I want to know who came up in the world of sports, Sally Scuds from your eighties magazine Nice you would say Jordan Pippen, right, just because of the success and you know, they're almost like the Batman Robin of the sports world.

00:09:27
Speaker 3: And there you go, best duos Batman Robins. As you say that though as a forty nine Ers fand because no, but my personal answer as a little kid, nothing gave me more joy than Joe Montana to Jerry Rice pitch Down.

00:09:39
Speaker 2: I honestly not a forty nine Ers fan, but not a forty nine Ers eter. Just the kid of the eighties that comes right to mind for me. But I'll give away the chat GPT answer and then get to the phone call, okay, and he guesses on what they're saying, like the number two is.

00:09:53
Speaker 3: Well, I think Kobe as Shack is. My answers are Montana, Rice, Kobe Shack, Jordan Pippen.

00:10:02
Speaker 4: I'm going to think outside the bucks because Covino said it's newer. I'm thinking Tom Brady Gronk.

00:10:09
Speaker 2: Wow, Tom Brady, Rob gron four super Bowl wins and you know, dominant together, and then they have Serena and Venus. I don't think anyone's gonna say that as far as they're doubles dominant zeros. Let's go to your phone. Calls will start in Fresno. Say what's up to Eli?

00:10:28
Speaker 4: Eli?

00:10:28
Speaker 3: Cave you know Rich? And for Dan Patrick, what's up buddy?

00:10:33
Speaker 4: Yo? Eli? His connection was struggling a little bit.

00:10:38
Speaker 3: Eli to Tyree, not legendary enough. Scott Scotty, Hey.

00:10:47
Speaker 7: I've got two ones and honorable events and that probably no one will say. But a lot of people don't know that Harry Sanders and Therman Thomas played in the same backfield in college.

00:10:59
Speaker 3: It's a good one. But I don't think you're right.

00:11:00
Speaker 2: I don't think people would would note that because you know you're sharing, you're sharing the load essentially. Here's what I'm gonna say though, before we wrap up the phone calls. If I was doing a Mark Goodman eighties on eight sort of intro or outro here on Fox Sports Radio, I'd be like Jordan and pippin your most successful duo of all time. I really think that's it. If we were to matter of factly just declare it, it would be that. But there are some debatable ones. Dan in Oregon, what's up, Dan?

00:11:31
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna go with Mahomes and Kelsey, and then I gotta throwback one h Derek Thomas and Neil Smith.

00:11:39
Speaker 3: That's a good one, by the way, the Mahomes Kelsey one.

00:11:41
Speaker 2: Let's not let that that is be under the radar, Like I'm surprised that wasn't even just thrown around the last five minutes, right, Yeah, they won multiple super Bowls together.

00:11:50
Speaker 8: I could say Troy Aikman and Smith, then yeah, we're talking about three super Bowls.

00:11:54
Speaker 4: But if guys are one more than that, then but they take I think that.

00:11:57
Speaker 2: But I think Kelsey maybe because there's stories not even written yet. But Mahomes and Kelsey, Yeah, I agree with that, Danny. I think Michael, you're now you're leaving out Michael Irvin. That's it was almost like the the three of those dudes. But Mahomes and Kelsey even pop culturally now with Taylor Swift and you.

00:12:16
Speaker 4: Know, just everything that knocks them down the list.

00:12:20
Speaker 3: I feel like that elevates them to like, wow, they their wives hang out, Taylor swiftson.

00:12:24
Speaker 2: I think it takes a little time, you know, to to look back and put them in the conversation.

00:12:30
Speaker 3: But they're obviously there. There's no question now. Successful duos Peyton, Manning, Marvin Harrison. They don't have the accolades and multiple rings like other people. Well you say rings.

00:12:43
Speaker 2: It doesn't even have a ring to it though, right, it has to have that that ring to it, like Batman and Robin Laurel and Hardy.

00:12:51
Speaker 3: It has to have it has to have a ring to it. And it doesn't.

00:12:55
Speaker 2: Oh Ason, Gary Ayson, Gary Mark and Tampa what's up Mark?

00:13:01
Speaker 9: Hello?

00:13:01
Speaker 3: What's up? Buddy?

00:13:03
Speaker 1: Hey?

00:13:03
Speaker 7: One of that don't get talked about enough. Bray Lewis and Aye greatest safety of the greatest linebacker, but both one defensive player.

00:13:10
Speaker 3: You also know that. I mean, that's that's what made that defense so dominant. That's why that that's why that Ravens team was feared. But duos, I don't look at them together. But again, same team, same dominance. Let's go to Vegas, our buddy Trip, what's up Trip, Hey Trip?

00:13:26
Speaker 9: Hey, good morning, y'all.

00:13:28
Speaker 7: Are the greatest CNR, but I thought of the second greatest CNR. I'm gonna go with cal Notton Junior and Ricky Bobby Shake and.

00:13:35
Speaker 4: Bake, Babe.

00:13:36
Speaker 2: That's a good one. Oh wait, who are the two figure skaters in the Will Ferrell movie?

00:13:40
Speaker 3: What was that spot? Do you remember?

00:13:43
Speaker 5: Uh?

00:13:45
Speaker 3: What was it? Why?

00:13:46
Speaker 2: I think it's cute that you're pretending not to know these figure skaters. It was Chaz Michae Michaels.

00:13:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chas Michael Michaels and the other one.

00:13:56
Speaker 2: Uh, the greatest duos Nancy Kerrigan and uh Tanya Harding, Tyyer Harding and Jeff Yeah, there you go. So who's that matter of fact answer? Will wrap it up with a few more phone calls than Mike's Wednesday words of Wisdom.

00:14:09
Speaker 3: Oh look, it is Drew Mack in Nashville. Hey, Drew mac he Drew Mack, Hey, good morning boys. What's up?

00:14:15
Speaker 4: Man?

00:14:16
Speaker 7: Here's a duo. You almost never say one without the other, and that stocked it to malone.

00:14:21
Speaker 3: Yes, stocked in the malone.

00:14:22
Speaker 2: Yes, gotta have Yes, it's gotta have that one two punch sort of chemistry. And that's definitely in the conversation. And then to tie to a previous conversation. Today we talked about how mahomes c blocked a bunch of other people from winning so far. That's a duo Malone and stocked and stocked into Malone, that if Michael Jordan didn't exist, they may.

00:14:42
Speaker 3: Have had a couple. Let's go to Irving. This is matchic conson what's up ver Yo, Texas.

00:14:54
Speaker 9: I don't know, it's fun of the spectrum, but I would say I tax and custom model.

00:15:00
Speaker 2: You know, I was trying to think about that because boxing is, you know, a solo sport, but but I would and then I said one two punch, and I was like, who's that one to punch?

00:15:09
Speaker 3: You know, when you when you were thinking boxing, were you thinking like Irving where it was like boxer and trainer, or were you thinking like to me? Because then you I'm thinking maybe if guys fought each other a couple of times, like a Lee Fraser, Tyson Holyfield, Like if you fought a guy at a couple of legendary fights, is that a duo where they're they're legendary matchups? Short of links them? Does a moment link people like Bill Buckner, Mookie Wilson like, are you linked to someone sometimes because of a moment in a different way, in a different way, but I wouldn't put them. Yes, I get you.

00:15:40
Speaker 2: I like the I like the train because their opponents, right, or rivals. But yeah, the trainer one Mike Tyson. When you when you think of the greats, there was always someone there to help them, the.

00:15:49
Speaker 3: Custom Otto and Tyson.

00:15:51
Speaker 2: Who do you uh, who do you associate Freddie Roach with the most pain?

00:15:56
Speaker 3: They lifted each other? Uh sandiago a Whales? Hey, Terry, what's up? Hey?

00:16:02
Speaker 9: Guys, gonna go get rid of some of those recency bias and go way back to the forties with Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis, mister inside mister outside for Army, undefeated for three years and they both won the Heisman.

00:16:15
Speaker 3: I'll take your word.

00:16:15
Speaker 4: It's a good one.

00:16:16
Speaker 2: I'll take you. I'll take your word for it. Now, if you go back to those legendary like Yankees teams we know and Babe Bruce who's running really fast, and Black and White, Ruth and Garrick, Yeah, Ruth and gerrig might be the answer there. I would say yeah, because they were the biggest stars of that of that dynasty. But again it was so many stars. But yeah, those were the two. So that's your one two punched. There was there ever and the the bat if you want to go down that route, you had the Bash Brothers one together, you know Kenseco oh no I met Ozzie and Jose cansee Jose Conseco and Mark Maguire. Is a great answer, you know what.

00:17:00
Speaker 3: I'm intriguing when you think of great sports duos, yeah, and they won. So when you think of bullpens, I know you're gonna be like, well, you know, at one point it was like John Wetland and Marianna Rivera? Has there ever really been a great eighth nine ninth inning? Like one two punch?

00:17:16
Speaker 2: The closes are memorable, but I don't think there's ever been a long term eight nine.

00:17:21
Speaker 4: You know, I'm thinking of NBA. I haven't heard a lot of NBA. How about the Splash Brothers.

00:17:26
Speaker 7: Bro.

00:17:26
Speaker 2: That's a great answer, that is that's a fantastic answer. I'm surprised it took this long. Let's go to Levi and Cincinnati.

00:17:33
Speaker 3: Levi will take two more and then we'll do a little Mike's Words of Wisdom, give away some prizes. What's up, man, what's up?

00:17:39
Speaker 7: Fellas I was, I'm gonna go kind of a little bit of a different route. I got two Phil Jackson and Michael Jordan or Phil Jackson and Kobe.

00:17:47
Speaker 2: Are you from Cincinnati? I think we're gonna say Chris Sabo and his goggles? That was my answer.

00:17:53
Speaker 3: It's a good one.

00:17:54
Speaker 2: I mean, Phil Jackson man just a winner. As far as music, anyone else come to mind? That's right up there with Hall of Notes, Do Loggins Mussina? We said that, right, Captain Ntonil. I'm trying to think of like current ones. Is there any any current duos.

00:18:19
Speaker 3: Legendary?

00:18:20
Speaker 4: I mean, for me, it's Outcast.

00:18:24
Speaker 2: That's a great one. Yeah, it is in the world of hip hop for sure. And they transcended hip hop with some of their hits. You know, they're called the Fab Four. But as far as the writing duo, Lennon McCartney legendary, as far as writing credit.

00:18:38
Speaker 3: Not respecting George and Ringo, Yeah, not true.

00:18:40
Speaker 2: So again, it's not that easy of an answer because there's always like ancillary people, like we said, are a third superstar, dynamic duo, the Hall of Notes of sports? Who else comes to mind? We'll wrap it up with your phone calls. Now, let's say hello out to Tom and Cincinnati. What's up tom Ay?

00:18:55
Speaker 3: Tom?

00:18:56
Speaker 7: Hey man, this is a little bit of a stretch, but baseball and Yankees, there's a small overlap between Joe Naggio and Nicky Mantlet together.

00:19:04
Speaker 9: Put together quite a string.

00:19:06
Speaker 3: Joe, Joe Damaggio. He's like, you wanna side.

00:19:10
Speaker 2: I was like, I mean Maris, Maris and Mantle were around the same time, right, they were competing and battling. All right, well you know what your answers at Covino and Rich.

00:19:22
Speaker 3: At Fox Sports Radio, Eric being rock him, Danny g Oh, that's a good one. How about nice and smooth as funky? Oh yeah, there you go.

00:19:35
Speaker 4: Now we're going take it back to house party.

00:19:37
Speaker 3: DJ jse Jeff and the Fresh Prince.

00:19:39
Speaker 2: Alright, Uh, let's uh, let's welcome our pal Mike, who runs this place. Gentlemen, Mike, I know you were upset because you're a big You're a big fan of Simony Garfaen.

00:19:48
Speaker 3: Uh.

00:19:48
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I mean clearly they are the number one duo of all time. That's I don't think there was any question about that. But I really think we're all sleeping on Milli Vanilly.

00:19:59
Speaker 3: They're a duo dynam you know what they're looking back.

00:20:03
Speaker 2: It's a shame how they were sort of dragged through the mud when in today's world we listen to fake music.

00:20:09
Speaker 3: Period nowadays all the time, yeah, all the time.

00:20:12
Speaker 2: Well, every week on a Wednesday during our afternoon show, Mike gives us words of wisdom, something he wants to pass a on to you, guys, maybe a life lesson, a phrase to live by and all you have to do.

00:20:23
Speaker 3: We make it really simple.

00:20:24
Speaker 2: It's simpleton repeat it word for word, and you want a price, We sort a bribe to listen. We got Cavino on Rich Fox Sports Radio, Turbo in their footballs and some koozies and a little prize pack. So if you want to win, b dialon eight seven, seven, nine nine one Fox. This is what we call Mike's words a wisdom.

00:20:44
Speaker 1: It's time for the guy that runs this place.

00:20:46
Speaker 4: Just for clarification, guys, Big Mike does not run this place. He is not in charge of everything. He has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

00:20:56
Speaker 1: It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

00:21:04
Speaker 3: All right, whenever you're ready, big mic.

00:21:08
Speaker 5: The mind is everything what you think you become, so maybe stop thinking about tacos.

00:21:18
Speaker 2: Oh, it's brilliance right there.

00:21:22
Speaker 3: I'm so offended that I can't even remember the words.

00:21:25
Speaker 4: That's got to be racist?

00:21:26
Speaker 3: Am I going to stop thinking about that? Can't? I have left over from yesterday? So if you can repeat what our buddy Mike said, word for words.

00:21:35
Speaker 4: I think, Rich, we should have it one more time.

00:21:37
Speaker 3: You want to read it one more time, one more time for everybody? Read it? He knows it off the dome.

00:21:41
Speaker 4: All right, Covino, go to your pan flute again.

00:21:44
Speaker 5: The mind is everything what you think you become, so maybe stop thinking about tacos.

Covino and Rich FSR again live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.

00:23:08
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get to a lot of this hour, a lot of NFL.

00:23:12
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about the Dodgers and how they duped us all.

00:23:15
Speaker 3: Don't over promise.

00:23:16
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try not to, but I do want to say. Twenty five years ago today, a show debuted on HBO, not a spin off, but from the creator of the most successful sitcom in network.

00:23:30
Speaker 3: History, Pretty day, Pretty day, Pretty good.

00:23:35
Speaker 2: Larry David debuted Curb Your Enthusiasm twenty five years ago today, so that's one of those holy nikes.

00:23:44
Speaker 3: Twenty five years ago.

00:23:45
Speaker 2: Then how many years ago was this when we were watching First and Ten, The Bulls, Bean Business and dream On and all those shows.

00:23:52
Speaker 3: One hundred and twenty five years twenty five years ago, Curby Your Enthusiasm debuted, and I always thought it was one of the best comedies. I actually hot take. I like Curb better than Seinfeld. Sometimes it's a little more raw, a little more relata about that. I don't know about that.

00:24:10
Speaker 8: The thing about Curb, though, is it took like, didn't take at least one break, So you say twenty five years and it just ended. What two seasons ago are a season ago? Yeah, but they took like a nine year hiatus or something, and there.

00:24:21
Speaker 2: Are breaks in between. Yeah, and they were long seasons like Seinfeld. But we think about all the comedy Larry David's brought us between those two shows, So props to him. Twenty five years since Curb. So just a little timestamp today as we hang in for the great Dan Patrick here on Fox Sports Radio. I love how they solved a murder mystery because Larry David was filming during a Dodgers game.

00:24:43
Speaker 3: And that is wild. Then we're gonna get to the Dodgers.

00:24:45
Speaker 2: I do want to bring up one thing that's a true story you could look up on your own time. We're gonna talk Dodgers and baseball playoffs and NFL. But don't blink because another NBA season is gonna be here before you know it. I did think it was cool to hear the return of round Ball rock the John Tesh theme that we all love. Some younger fan of John Test than you Rich listens to him on the regular listen.

00:25:07
Speaker 3: He's just testing.

00:25:08
Speaker 2: He's just excited for the rest of the world to join his funsketball.

00:25:14
Speaker 4: The Peacock announcer was just casually talking over the intro of this NBA preseason game with that playing behind him, and it just made you feel, yeah, like a kid again.

00:25:27
Speaker 3: Basketball. Yeah, you hear this song. It's slident to the kitchen, don't it? And you play with that yet? Did everyone have that nerve poop that went over the door? Yep, you get all ready for some basketball. I just backed that.

00:25:42
Speaker 2: Song is so synonymous with great nineties NBA that we all grew up with that made us fall love maybe with basketball, right, So the return of round ball rock. But let's go to the Dodgers for a second.

00:25:56
Speaker 3: Last night.

00:25:56
Speaker 2: I talked about this earlier, but the more I'm thinking at it, did the Dodgers dupe us Cavino by like Mark duper like? Not intentionally, but by not winning one hundred and ten games by battling for that division until the last weeks of the season with the padres by Not only no, it's not the Dodgers duping us, or did they f with us only to show up big and be that team all along? It's shame on us for not realizing the obvious of it's a long season. Health is wealth and we should have known that if everybody's healthy come postseason, they're going to be impossible to be And that was the goal, and that's the goal. Ever their pitching was what is the thing that applies to all sports? Just get into the playoffs and be healthy and ready for when you're in. I just I can't say that I wasn't surprised. I think we're all surprised that the Dodgers barely won their division. And they were the three seed, which means they had to play in the wild card round. No one would have ever thought the Dodgers would win roughly ninety games, have to play in the wild Card and go through all this and have to click though at the right time, and sure enough once he's hitting bombs, ta Oskar's hitting bombs. Key Key Hernandez is turning it up like he always does.

00:27:13
Speaker 4: And every single guy you just mentioned missed a good amount of time.

00:27:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, as Ron Darling said, Key k Hernandez has look like Keith Hernandez in the playoffs.

00:27:22
Speaker 4: I saw that.

00:27:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I heard so.

00:27:23
Speaker 4: But you guys on the Afternoon Show, you talk about this often that baseball's a little bit different because no matter your record, no matter exactly what went on through that long season, it's just whatever team is hot at the time. We've seen the San Francisco Giants and other teams like that come together right before the playoffs at the exact perfect time and then make a run.

00:27:45
Speaker 3: No doubt.

00:27:46
Speaker 2: In fact, the statos of the thirty years since they incorporated the wild Card, since the Major League Baseball Strike, and then they came back again with the new realignment, since then, thirty seasons. Only seven of those thirty seasons has the team with the best record won the World Series, which is which is really interesting when you think how twenty three out of thirty years it was really just a team that put it together, got healthy, got hot in October. And you know that's just you're seeing with the Dodgers, because the Brewers were the best team all longing all du Wayne's stats. And speaking of stats, you gotta tip your hat. I got a flat brim on today, because how do you feel about that? By the way, I feel like certain hats are made to be worn certain ways. I rock a sweet curve. I curve them like the best of them.

00:28:37
Speaker 3: Can you be a guy that does both? I feel like, uh my curve is like Flash Gordon's bro. I can curve it up. Yeah you can.

00:28:42
Speaker 2: Because certain hats are meant to be curved and other hats are meant to be flat.

00:28:47
Speaker 3: It's just not meant to be cached. It depends on what type of hat it is.

00:28:51
Speaker 2: But speaking of hats, Yamamoto was rocking his Dodgers hat strong yesterday complete game, the first since twenty seventeen, first postseason complete game, last person to do it was Erlander against the Yankees all those years ago, and the Dodgers haven't done it since four according to the Elias Sports Bureau known as Danny g.

00:29:15
Speaker 3: So, I'm sung up on God for a second. I'm sorry what I just.

00:29:20
Speaker 2: By the way, it's funny to think that the baseball hat, a piece of sports equipment, is such a universally we'll just say, accepted fashion statement. Yeah, no one wears a chef's hat, as Mitch Hedberg. Mitch Hedberg has some line about like you only wear that if you're a chef.

00:29:39
Speaker 3: Yeah, Hunt, you're the Swedeish chef for Jon Arts.

00:29:44
Speaker 2: Baseball hat is pretty much the only hat from sports that we rock on a regular basis.

00:29:51
Speaker 4: Here's one more pitching stat for you. Blake Snell and Yoshi Yamamoto are the first starter since twenty sixteen to throw eight plus innings in consecutive postseason games.

00:30:02
Speaker 2: And yeah, so when you're starting pitching, is is delivering like that? The Dodgers are gonna be hard to beat. And they don't have that in the regular season, and we forget that in the preseason in spring training before all the injuries happened.

00:30:15
Speaker 3: The whole joke was, and they got Blake Snell. When they signed Blake Snell, that was almost like an f you to everyone else, like all right, defending champions, Well, well hold on, and you added Blake Snell.

00:30:28
Speaker 4: And now but then he didn't play all season because he was hurt.

00:30:31
Speaker 3: But the Dodgers fans dreams are coming to fruition. Your big free.

00:30:37
Speaker 2: Agent should have thrown a complete game win in Game one, but you know, Dave Roberts, you know, wanted to, you know, toy with everyone. Game two, your Japanese signed pitcher that you outbid people for and won. Yamamoto did what you wanted him to do. Now what's next?

00:30:53
Speaker 3: Glass? Now if he gets it done? And then what Game four?

00:30:57
Speaker 2: You go to the biggest star in base all over the last fifty plus years, show hal TONI so arguably the Dodgers are doing everything we thought.

00:31:05
Speaker 3: They would do six months ago. It's just the last six months of injuries and confusion made us forget, maybe for a second, reminding everybody that they are the new evil Empire without.

00:31:14
Speaker 4: A doubt, and that with a likable players.

00:31:17
Speaker 3: Though you know, it's hard to deny he really is. Yeah, I mean, I saw I just hate their stupid hip flexer dance. I love that. Yeah, the cove.

00:31:27
Speaker 4: I saw a Yankees fan like you post yesterday. You know what, Yes, I hate the Dodgers, but it's hard to root against some of the players because I like a couple of the players on their team. Could you not like Mookie Bets? Yeah, they're just not like Freddie they have magic. They have magic. Johnson smiles.

00:31:43
Speaker 2: How could you not like Show? Hao Toni. He transcends, you know, fandom, He's just everybody and Denny, as I've I've pointed out before. You know, we're new to the Dan Patrick audience for a lot of people. I'm a Mets fan from New York. My kids are five and eight, and I see them falling in love with the Dodgers because we live out here in Los Angeles. All their little schoolmates and all the kids they play little league and softball and baseball with like the Dodgers. So I'm watching them wanting to hate them as a Mets fan, but it's hard to see why my kids wouldn't like like you said, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Bett, Show, Hey, Will Smith, Tommy Edmund, these guys are tay oscar like the it's it's hard to really say they're hateable. It's like when Steph and the Golden State Warriors and do you hate Steph Curry?

00:32:30
Speaker 3: It was very hard. I mean I started hate Freddy Freeman's flat Top.

00:32:33
Speaker 4: I don't.

00:32:34
Speaker 3: I don't really, I'm not a fan of that that does big chompers, that smile. Chase bothered me. I mean Clayton Kershaw, that story where you got to see him sort of close out the career the right way, and that he's you know, I don't.

00:32:44
Speaker 4: It just feels like and even Max Munsey dumped by the A's back in the day and now leads the Dodgers in all time postseason home runs.

00:32:51
Speaker 2: So the question was Max Munsey makes me realize how many people need glasses and don't realize it. Remember he got glasses and like got back to where he was. You might have not even realized how blind you are. It's true, did the Dodgers f with us all year a little bit? Or is it a matter of don't sleep on the usual suspects? Like we stated first hour, It's like we spend so much time speculating. It's just the nature of the beast and what guys do and what we do. It's like, oh, who do you think it has a shot this year? But it comes down to the usual suspects more time than it doesn't. I'm gonna make one dumb analogy and we'll move on. We'll talk a little NFL. I commented on your flat brim hat. Yeah, you won't let that go. Well, I won't because it's uh. I'll give you an analogy. You know how some ballplayers, like I find it funny. One, there are those rare baseball players that sometimes they'll wear the high socks and then sometimes they'll where as I call it, the King Griffey juniorr look, where it's a very low pants down to the ankle, like the CC Sabbathia jammies. Can you can you be a guy that rocks the flat brim and then on another day rocks like a total curve briman You can't?

00:34:01
Speaker 3: But yeah, do you mean can you be? I want to feel like, what do you think you are?

00:34:05
Speaker 1: I am?

00:34:06
Speaker 3: It's not about the guy. Do you realize? Yeah, you're not to wear hats. You're not gotta wear hats. I'm telling you. Certain hats are meant that way, and other hats are meant to be curved.

00:34:16
Speaker 8: Cam Newton gives us a strength to do whatever we want, not just wear whatever hat he wants.

00:34:20
Speaker 2: That guy wears a mouth he hat. Yeah, so absolutely, it depends on what kind of hat it is. Some are meant to be bent and curved and some are meant to be worn flat brim. It just depends on the fit. So I'm just saying, yes, the answer is yes, you could do both. Okay, just I do both all the time. Some hat, some hats you buy come.

00:34:41
Speaker 4: With the curved brim.

00:34:42
Speaker 2: So it just is what it just say, Like, can you can you be the guy that wears a baggy jeans one day and then skinny jeans the next, different looks.

00:34:51
Speaker 3: You can do whatever you want. You got to mix it up. Well, I want to bring.

00:34:54
Speaker 2: Up one other thing that has to do with the Dodgers, and then we're gonna get into a lot of NFL. We're at that point, Danny g Every year we always say, real week six is where we could start really assessing.

00:35:03
Speaker 4: Yeah, last year you guys extended it to week seven.

00:35:06
Speaker 3: I almost feel like I want to extend it again.

00:35:09
Speaker 2: I just saw a headline it was like bad week, bad game, or bed season for the Bills, and I'm like, oh, let's slow down.

00:35:16
Speaker 3: Who knows well two in a row, I would say, uh, oh.

00:35:19
Speaker 8: Come on the four and two.

00:35:20
Speaker 3: I know, we're like a third of the way through the season, so we're gonna We're gonna assess because Danny, I know, there's some funny power rankings that have come out.

00:35:27
Speaker 2: It's like who some people have at the top. It's like, do we really believe it or not? Well, we'll talk to NFL. But with the Dodgers just wrapping up two victories in Milwaukee, there was a Dodgers fan, a social media influencer. Yeah who his name is, Willie Prince Mada. Willy Prince Mada put on his Dodgers jersey and he went to Miller Park and he was blown away by the hospitality of not only the workers and the concession people, but all the fans who were there to welcome him.

00:36:00
Speaker 3: Him in Dodgers gear. Yeah, I mean the audio is not great playing like five seconds. I mean he was he was going around Miller Park. Take a lesson right now.

00:36:11
Speaker 4: As the nicest people I think I've ever met.

00:36:18
Speaker 3: I mean, nicest people ever met. I mean, would you call them Milwaukeeans. Is that is that the right word?

00:36:22
Speaker 2: That's what he should I thought that they were Mediawaukeeans. Yeah, I think that's what it is. He was shocked at hospitable and nice they were. It was a culture shock for I imagine he's an l a guy as a Dodgers fan.

00:36:39
Speaker 3: For example, is he in Phoenix.

00:36:41
Speaker 4: He's out a Phoenix, but he's a big dog, but he's a.

00:36:43
Speaker 3: Big Dodgers fan.

00:36:44
Speaker 2: Like for example, when I went to the World Series last year at Dodgers Stadium, I wore my Yankees jersey. I got heckled, man, but I expected that. I didn't feel like my life was being threatened. But I was definitely heckled and definitely made fun of. And I felt a little weird with my girlfriend there and everyone calling me out left and right, especially after they lost, and I'm walking out and you're not gonna get that at a Miller Park, You're just not.

00:37:10
Speaker 3: It's fan bases, right. It's like some fan bases we'll see an opposing fan and be like, hey, yo, good luck, welcome to the stadium. Enjoy and then like listen, they do not treat you like that. In Philly. I will tell I promise you.

00:37:23
Speaker 2: If I were to ever go to ever go to Philadelphia, which I have, I put my Mets jersey in a bag and I don't even put it on until I get to the stadium because.

00:37:33
Speaker 3: A trash bag. Because I feel like if I leave my car, if I would have left my car wearing a Mets jersey, I feel like someone would have messed with my car. Yo, Philly not so much. If you're a Yankees fan and you go to Fenway, you think you're gonna be treated kindly.

00:37:51
Speaker 2: It's just they're so happy to have you there, visiting their ballpark. They want to make sure you have such a great experience you come back. I don't want to kiss the ass of so hold on. It's two things.

00:38:01
Speaker 4: Though.

00:38:02
Speaker 2: Kindness actually exists, so that's the shock. You know, people are actually kind in other places. So that's refreshing and shocking all at the same time. And there really is something called customer care and etiquette and hospitality where certain places take a lot of pride in hey, make sure you welcome people so that they have a great experience. And that's what happens at Miller Park. But it doesn't happen everywhere. And we notice that too when we travel, like damn. Some people lean into it, some not at all because they're like, hey, it's New York. Who cares you're coming back regardless, we don't need you. Yeah, they're like, if you give the analogy before, it's a sometimes of a girl's too good looking. She feels like she doesn't really need.

00:38:41
Speaker 3: To do much. She doesn't need to do a whole lot to please you. Yeah, I mean like that's like that.

00:38:45
Speaker 2: I feel like the worst super Bowl ever was in New York. We've covered She's not to age ourselves. We've covered almost twenty super bowls, right, and New York was the worst one because New York City was like, yeah, super Bowl's here, who.

00:38:59
Speaker 4: Can we said.

00:39:00
Speaker 3: It's the difference of you're lucky to be here. Hey, we're walking over here, man, get.

00:39:08
Speaker 4: Out of our way.

00:39:09
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, tourists are happy to be there. It's the difference between you're lucky to be here versus we're lucky to have you. We're happy to have you. Indianapoli Park, Milwaukee, Indianapolis. The super Bowl in Indianapolis was great, the super Bowl. We've been to all Star games. Are you saying Indianapolis is the chubby chick. Is that what's going on.

00:39:29
Speaker 2: Indianapolis is the welcoming chubby girl. I was saying anything they kind of please you exactly, I gotcha.

00:39:35
Speaker 8: Even within the state of Wisconsin, you know, people might be nice at in Milwaukee at a Brewers game, but then I've gone to like a Wisconsin Badgers football game against Iowa. They were brutal. I was right next to the student section. They were they were savage, they were hostile.

00:39:52
Speaker 3: And didn't they pant you and beat you up?

00:39:55
Speaker 7: No?

00:39:55
Speaker 8: No, but listen, it can it can differ even in the state.

00:39:59
Speaker 3: You know, the Brewers.

00:40:01
Speaker 2: I've been to a game at Miller Park, and I back up that Dodgers fan. They have a really cool situation where there's like I guess you would say the little downtown area in Milwaukee where the bars if they there's certain bars where if you buy a drink or a broad or a sandwich or something, they give you a little ticket.

00:40:20
Speaker 3: You're like, what's his ticket for? They go, oh, that's free if you want to take one of the little little buses to the stadium. That way you don't have to drive, and you can have some drinks and stuff and you're like, what's amazing. They have these little like almost like free buses that it's like, hey, have some drinks.

00:40:35
Speaker 2: Have some cheese curds, have some a sense of being etho centric to the point where we think wherever we are and whatever we do is the greatest, and then we're just surprised that other people also have something cool going on.

00:40:47
Speaker 3: Ye, and it's a pretty cool scene. I would have expected that in Milwaukee.
