00:01:27
Speaker 1: You know what I do.

00:01:28
Speaker 2: I would grab some cheeks. You'd grab his cheeks, now, I would. I would shake his hand and then bite his hand like Billy Madison.

00:01:33
Speaker 4: Ah.

00:01:35
Speaker 2: I would bite Cadell's hand and then maybe hump his leg a little bit, just to truly show my excitement. And so, yeah, really excited about the draft tonight and we're gonna talk about it.

00:01:46
Speaker 1: But other amazing things you've seen in sports. Keep that in. I start thinking about that, because.

00:01:51
Speaker 2: Once again, it feels like every week you see something that you've never seen before.

00:01:57
Speaker 1: How is that possible?

00:01:58
Speaker 2: Two things in the past two days that I've never seen before in baseball?

00:02:03
Speaker 1: So start thinking things your eyes have never seen. Well, you think you've seen it all. You've been watching sports your whole life.

00:02:08
Speaker 2: Yet sports and baseball, especially this week, provides us with stuff like I can't believe I've never seen that, So start thinking about amazing moments, unreal highlights, because we'll chop that up. Plus, it's Thursday, which means old school win fifty hits. We throw it back and we get you involved. Fox Sports Radio Nation is Covino and Rich live from the Fox Sports Radio Studio.

Speaker 1: And Rich FSR.

00:02:37
Speaker 2: You could also check out the show later on the podcast if you miss anything. If you're on the YouTube channel, you could also check out Covino with this big box of Clorox wipes as if what do you think everyone else here is wiping their butt cheeks on your mic or something.

00:02:48
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, you got to get germs man. That's how you don't get sick good out of my face? Bro, you do you? I do?

00:02:55
Speaker 2: Mean?

00:02:55
Speaker 1: I know you need some WD forty from the sound of things. That's why they call you.

00:02:59
Speaker 2: They call him Dudo kaka Davis because he just comes here and dirties up the microphone. I don't know where his fingers have been, so yeah, I wipe down everything. It's a habit that started not because I'm a maniac. It's a habit that started in twenty twenty COVID days. Hate to bring you back to those miserable days. You mean when Russini and Vrabel were first dating.

00:03:19
Speaker 1: It stop, I was thinking about it. I say it, though I didn't say it. It's the biggest story right now.

00:03:25
Speaker 2: But yeah, back in those days, we had to keep things clean, and I've just kept it on ever since. So anyway, wiping down the studios, getting this day going, thank you for hanging.

00:03:34
Speaker 1: We're Cavino and rich lets go.

00:03:35
Speaker 2: Is there something insulting about wiping down too much? Well, we share the microphones, I know, but like, let's say Danny comes in there and he does a wipe down, like jay Stu has a polio. There's two other moments. I just like Ebola broke out here. I mean, come on, guys, is it disrespectful to hit the elevator button if it's already hit? And is it disrespectful to hit the crosswalk button if someone's already there and hit it?

00:04:00
Speaker 3: Not because I'd take a keying peel sketch about that, right, I mean, that's fantastic.

00:04:05
Speaker 1: He's like, you only need to hit it once and really quick. Rich.

00:04:09
Speaker 5: I think we're more sensitive to germs and radio because it's hard to get a cold or fluid, get sick because you sound like junk on the air.

00:04:15
Speaker 3: And these are shared spaces. If we all had like our own office, I wouldn't be wiping down my keyboard every day.

00:04:21
Speaker 1: If it was just my hands touching.

00:04:22
Speaker 3: The Keybox's like, there's just little smears and smudges of stuff around here.

00:04:26
Speaker 1: You got it. When I work with the.

00:04:27
Speaker 2: Guys like Rich who sit there and sniff his fingers and I wonder where they've been. I'm not taking any chances, that's all you want to spell this? No, not taking any chances. Well, you know, tidy, and let's go before you get into the NFL draft, let me tell you what the dirtiest thing is. And it's not your keyboard at work. It's not a toilet ball, it's not all these things you read about. I saw a clip on social media, so it must be true.

00:04:50
Speaker 1: It has to be true.

00:04:52
Speaker 2: They're saying the bins you put your things in at TSA. Oh yeah, they're saying people put their shoes their baggage one after the other, and TSA agents say that they've never one time seen someone actually clean those.

00:05:11
Speaker 1: So think about it all day.

00:05:13
Speaker 2: Dirty shoes after dirty shoes, people's grubby hands. That is even dirtier than an office keyboard. Thanks for the fun fact, man, look at that. Can I avoid it somehow? Probably not? So let's get into it. Why.

00:05:26
Speaker 1: I know it's dirtier than that the stories that are coming out of the New York Post.

00:05:30
Speaker 2: But I digest I felt, I you know, what, what if they were just having like a secret affair and they were harming no one except their spouses, and for all.

00:05:38
Speaker 1: You know, you and I were saying, what if they had.

00:05:40
Speaker 2: To deal with their spouses where it's like, yeah, just don't make me look like a fool.

00:05:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's address this respectfully.

00:05:46
Speaker 2: Here's a story that continues to grow, and it gets juicier and even more selacious all over social media today and in the New York Post that involves a Patriots coach and a report. Yes, the one thing we need to keep in mind is we don't know people's personal understandings and relationships in today's world, all right, Ready to put things in perspective, Yeah, Rabo's a really successful guy, like a really successful guy. For all we know, he has an understanding where his significant others like, Mike, I know who you are, and I know women want to be with you. I just don't want to know. Keep it respectful and keep it out of our life. A lot of ballplayers, there's a lot of people that live with that understanding and they don't talk about it, or maybe it's a full on open thing. A lot of ballplayers you just don't know. And a lot of celebrities do have some layer of openness. We have friends that are very close to us that are in like open relationships and marriages.

00:06:43
Speaker 1: It's a thing.

00:06:43
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that's the case, but man, imagine if they were just like imagine if it was a yeah, just don't make me look stupid, and there was a weird understanding. I mean, that's always a possibility. And even that code was broken because this has become a bigger and bigger story in the past few days. So yeah, it's still developing as we speak. But that's the one side of the story that we really just don't understand and just don't know because well, quite frankly, it's none of our business.

00:07:10
Speaker 1: But yeah, you don't know the understandings and inner workings of these relationships. You don't what's up, dbate.

00:07:15
Speaker 6: It's been an interesting week though, and within the last I would say twelve to eighteen hours, we've seen more and more photos come up of interactions with the two. But it branched off when Rabel made his statement earlier this week when he said that he had difficult conversations with his family.

00:07:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's code for like I messed up, Yes, right.

00:07:37
Speaker 6: Diana Rossini's statement when she left the Athletic was that there was she was not admitting any wrongdoing. So there was a parting of stories.

00:07:46
Speaker 2: And that's what happens, not to but there could also be a parting based on what I just said, could be a parting of different relationship dynamics, Like for we know we're seeing in her husband have a different dynamic than Rabel and his wife, which probably isn't true, but we don't know. Listen, I'm not calling this is there's no crime that took place here, But a lot of times when a crime takes place, how does it unfold and unferral? When people don't keep their story straight and dB you're right when Rabel's like difficult conversations and there seemed to be an admission of something happened.

00:08:20
Speaker 1: I'm handling it. It's my business and had a different story. That's what it's like.

00:08:24
Speaker 6: Oh, but it's also and we've talked about this, that Diana Russini has been the one under the spotlight because how it affected her profession. I think that the grace that you guys may have given them, and other people as well, had to do with their life at home, whether it be Russini and her family and Rabel and his family. But now you've got Rabel leaving the draft on Saturday for counseling.

00:08:52
Speaker 2: He's Paula Dukeveny. You know what that is. Remember David Dukeveney is like, I'm.

00:08:56
Speaker 1: A sex addict Tiger Woods thing.

00:08:59
Speaker 6: But then my question leads to you, is is it a problem if it's one person? You know, you talk about like this Rabel and Racini. Things seemed to be going on for a long, much longer time than we realized.

00:09:14
Speaker 1: The fling.

00:09:14
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, to your point about twenty twenty and what's going on? So is so I don't know if I'm if I don't know if what Rabel's deal is, but it sure seems a convenient sort of thing.

00:09:27
Speaker 2: Interestingly enough, listen, Covino and I have known each other for twenty plus years through different girlfriends, serious relationships, marriages.

00:09:36
Speaker 1: Wasn't No one's perfect and I would never be. I'm not. I'm not throwing what is the old glass houses and stones? Just say shade, don't throw stones and glasshouses, that's the one DV. People who live in glasshouses, yeah, shouldn't throw.

00:09:49
Speaker 2: I can't say that I'm mister perfect curt heading in relationships, girlfriends, things along the way. I've done dumb things, So I'm not going to sound and act like I'm perfect. But in this case, if it is a relationship, it could very well be like two people that genuinely really like each other and they're both married and we're having something going on, and that is a very interesting dynamic, right. It's like I was talking to one of our buddies earlier today and coincidentally he said, uh, his parents had split up, and his dad, twenty five years later, is with the woman, is with the woman, And he's like, you know, Rich, when I first met you, You're the only guy that may feel good about it. I'm like, well, your parents broke up, but you're it's not like your dad was there some fluozy that woman became your step mom for the past twenty five years. Maybe they're in love. Maybe like correct, like we're not to judge. I feel bad for them. Hey, they're exposed and happens. You play with fire, you might get burned. So I feel bad about it's embarrassing, I don't. I feel bad for the families and everything involved with Yeah, exactly, and no one's really letting up on it.

00:10:53
Speaker 1: That's the other embarrassing. I don't know.

00:10:54
Speaker 2: They really don't genuinely have like, really fond feelings for each other, and now it's just dragged the mud.

00:10:58
Speaker 4: Right.

00:10:58
Speaker 6: I'll tell you what I think they do. I think that they really enjoyed being with each other, as evidenced by this relationship of however long it's been going on, which would make me think Mike Rabel doesn't need counseling, No, because he's.

00:11:12
Speaker 1: Very well aware.

00:11:13
Speaker 2: So the timing of all that is wayspect, And so what is the counseling for?

00:11:18
Speaker 1: You know what?

00:11:18
Speaker 2: It's not to get caught counseling because it's like the reality is like if you're in a scenario where you're like, oh my god, dude. Like Cavino and I used to joke with each other when we were like dating different girls. He would always say, we'd go to like some big party for who we worked with, Maximum and Playboy and all these parts.

00:11:32
Speaker 1: You'd go, what if you meet the girl your dreams tonight? That would be like your joke and like, who is this real thing?

00:11:38
Speaker 2: If you had a girlfriend and you weren't married, and you're like, what if tonight you met like your dream ground.

00:11:42
Speaker 1: And I'd like, don't don't throw that out there. I'll tell you it.

00:11:45
Speaker 2: Don't put yourself in that position, especially if you're an important person and.

00:11:49
Speaker 1: A recognizable person.

00:11:51
Speaker 2: The sentiment that Dan Bayer brings up is so true. Counseling is needed when it's something that needs to be corrected. If someone I'm not saying that's the case with Rabel and Diana's, but what if they genuinely care about each other and there's love there and it's like, man, we were married, but we have these feelings and oh man, life sucks. He isn't he counseling, He just got caught a scenario that he thought he was managing and.

00:12:11
Speaker 1: It just backfired. Yeah, I gets people off his back to prove that he's doing the right thing.

00:12:18
Speaker 2: It's it's a pr It's it's like Brittany Spears and Tiger Woods and a loss. People going to go into rehab because it's it's a step. Yeah, the public wants to see you take.

00:12:27
Speaker 6: And Cavino saying that that's my point is nobody has made the right move in all of this, and I think this is another misstep. So now he's going to miss the draft on the third day. Yeah, go Now if there is a problem, like it just seems like there's this this this cover up and stuff keeps on happening, and the Patriots tried to kill the story didn't happen, so it became public. Then there's a joint statement with their you know, crisis communicators whatever they had. Then it's a Rassini statement. Then Rabel says his statement, which is different. It can continues to be a mess with nobody really admitting what actually went on.

00:13:04
Speaker 2: And honestly, that's why the story continues to grow, and that's why I intrigue continues to build. So I'm sure you heard about the story. The reason we're bringing it up again is because it's unavoidable.

00:13:16
Speaker 5: And my mom even has heard about this story.

00:13:19
Speaker 1: That's when you know something's crossed over.

00:13:21
Speaker 2: New information has been revealed as of today nationwide and all over social media from the New York Post, and Rabel is now going to get counseling and he's going to miss the draft, which is I grew with Dan.

00:13:34
Speaker 1: The timing is weak that time.

00:13:36
Speaker 2: You know what, Sometimes there's I know it's damage control. I could see what they're doing. Sometimes then they wait. Something that happens right that does need quote damage control. And again this this story makes my butthole itch because I feel that I can't say that.

00:13:51
Speaker 3: No, I can't say that on the radio, especially those two words together three words okay.

00:14:00
Speaker 1: On the podcast.

00:14:00
Speaker 2: I guess I'm learning new things every day I hear about Rich's uncontrollable itch on the podcast.

00:14:07
Speaker 1: So any Richie get I'm sorry, but every fine you.

00:14:10
Speaker 3: Have to say, you say what you need to say and dumb, but what I apologize to this, I'm not.

00:14:15
Speaker 1: I don't apologize.

00:14:16
Speaker 2: He should know his HR guide and you're just doing your job, you Sam. So yes, the story makes me let's just say feel weird because none of us are perfect. And when there's stories, when there's stories that exposed, just things that happen, fifty percent people get divorced. This infidelity and weird stuff going on everywhere. So I just don't like when people take the righteous approach. And but you know what, relationships and you know what, there's so many more open things going on in marriages and relationships. Now, I just I think that's not what I'm addressing. What I'm addressing is like what dB said, they're handling of this, it's just terror. It's like it's like the you know, you got caught, I'm sorry they did it happens. You know, you play with fire, sometimes things happen. It's like when people get caught, like at a massage place. It's like, do you know how any buddies you know have done something stupid like that? So you can't be like, I've never heard of a guy getting that bun So you can't play dumb. You just got to know that they've handled this, they've handled this poorly.

00:15:16
Speaker 1: Two stories. You have to have the same story. You run in a different circle than I do because I don't know.

00:15:21
Speaker 2: Any of that it's never got a happy ending. You don't know a guy that's ever got a happy end?

00:15:26
Speaker 1: No, I don't. It's damn byre. Do you don't know a guy? Maybe I'm you don't know the guy. You don't know a guy that's ever got a happy ending? Not married friends when I was single?

00:15:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, okay, what about you? No? Yeah, I must run in some raunchy circles those like every guy I know this is that's.

00:15:46
Speaker 1: But you guys have never seen each other's junk, but we see each other.

00:15:50
Speaker 2: It's a key to victory, and I'm sticking to it.

00:15:53
Speaker 1: It's a key to victory.

00:15:54
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is that, like all these stories that come out, I just hate when people are righteous.

00:15:57
Speaker 1: That's not what this is about for me.

00:15:59
Speaker 2: This is about, man, they got caught, And even when you get caught and you still have separate stories, it's like, oh, man, you know what I'm getting from this. I'm getting from this When you're Dan Byer is a gentleman, I'm not surprised by that. He's a good guy. So what I'm getting from this is if you're ever caught out there, whether it be steroid use, whether it be in a scandal like this, you got to own it. It's the only way to put the fire out. Accountability the end. What could you do?

00:16:29
Speaker 5: Yeah, this went haywire from the moment of there were six of us. Yeah, no, there weren't. So that's so like you, You're right. If you did an Andy Pettitt on this, you could have held it off at the past.

00:16:40
Speaker 2: Yep, Hey, you know I made a mistake. Sorry. When you take accountability, it takes all the heat off, even in relationships or work scenarios, Like, dude, I there was a scenario like this is.

00:16:51
Speaker 1: Here's another thing, Can I can I get one more statement? For all we know?

00:16:54
Speaker 2: And I'm just playing Devil's advocate because this fun conversation. We don't know anything. But you never know what people's relationships are going through at that moment. Right, That's the other thing, Right, Like, oh, man, I heard Covino is up to no good in two thousand and seven. Well, you don't know what I was up to in two thousand and seven. Maybe I was going, you know, we were on a break, I was taking time off. I was going you were separated or separated. My point is you don't know where they were at that time, so you know, it's all speculation at this point. But when you don't take accountability, that's when people dig and a dig and a dig, and guess what, the more they dig, the more they find. And I think the accountability thing is a big thing because I think I've had all the story. I'll take it away from a runchy talk for a second. I remember we worked at a radio station where someone had spilled coffee on the console and no one wanted to fess up. And even when there was like proof of it, the person that did it was like, I don't know what you're talking about. It's like if you're probably the way, hold on, I gotta pause. That's like the biggest no no in the broadcasting radio industry. You spilled anything on the console, like like on the board, that's disastrous.

00:18:02
Speaker 1: You know where Sam is sitting right now. But it was a big deal.

00:18:05
Speaker 2: It was almost like factual, like this person left, everything was fine.

00:18:09
Speaker 1: There was a window of time.

00:18:10
Speaker 2: It had to be this guy, and he's like aout station exploded and went off the air, and you know, I feel like.

00:18:15
Speaker 1: They were swabbing for DNA evidence.

00:18:17
Speaker 2: If that person would have simply said, hey, listen, I want to keep my job. But it was me, like it probably would have went smoother. It really is a matter of just coming clean.

00:18:29
Speaker 1: Yep.

00:18:29
Speaker 2: So I think that's it. I mean, you said it. Nobody's perfect. But when you own up to that and you're okay being an imperfect person and there's a real explanation, sometimes.

00:18:40
Speaker 1: You just gotta be honest. Can I tell you?

00:18:42
Speaker 2: It's also, uh, even though it's it's nobody's business, but you're a public figure.

00:18:45
Speaker 1: That's the difference. And again I think so because of her job.

00:18:49
Speaker 2: What does By the way, there's there's other stories coming out that may question the ethics or etiquette involved in being an NFL insider. Right, Oh yeah, this is getting stickier and stickier.

00:19:02
Speaker 1: That's where I.

00:19:02
Speaker 6: Think a lot of if we have questions where the main point is and it may be unfair. The NFL is not investigating Vrabel for any wrongdoing. Who knows, maybe he was planning stories to try to throw off other teams and Eagles fans were mad about the aj Brown coverage. The only thing that I would say is we once live in an apartment that overlooked a strip mall and just north of here wasn't anything crazy. And at one time we saw someone park at the end of the Strip mall where there's no parking, and it was obviously the two people were having an affair. They parked and no one would see their cars. This is at a resort in Arizona. There were pictures at a casino in Mississippi in Mississippi, another one at a you.

00:19:46
Speaker 1: Know, a bar.

00:19:48
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that there was at New York, yeah, something like that, but their public places.

00:19:53
Speaker 2: Danny Denby, You're so right, dude. I'm agreeing with everything you're saying. Because there's two thoughts. I had a buddy, Scotty, who works for iHeart Balloon on New York for Elvis. He he would always joke that he had a neighbor at his old place that he saw the drop off every day, like the switching of the cars of like a neighbor.

00:20:12
Speaker 1: That was up to no good.

00:20:13
Speaker 2: And he's like, Wow, they're pretty uh, They're like they're pretty slick about it. Yes, Now, I think what happens in most things, right, especially again this is not a crime, but in most things, people do you start to get lax and I'll be honest. If you're having a secret torrid affair allegedly, you get pretty lax if you start with the PDA, you start if you if you're in public, like that's where you get a little too comfortably, like we're not gonna no one cares the other learning lesson here. If you have to know good where disguise, put a fake mustache on, always have one.

00:20:43
Speaker 6: Stafarian has except six five and built like a you know, NFL linebacker, which he.

00:20:49
Speaker 1: Was brazen, could you be?

00:20:53
Speaker 2: That's why That's why I had that thought though Dan Byer like, hey, maybe maybe there was something going on that people didn't about to be so brazen and open about relationship. When you're such a big dude and recognizable, you think no one's gonna notice that you're Mike Rabel. People go to other towns to meet someone for like a couple of coffee because they don't want to be like, I don't want to bump into anyone.

00:21:13
Speaker 1: Yeah. When when I do that, I always wear the glasses with the with the nose on it. That's a good one. Yeah, that's right.

00:21:19
Speaker 2: That's what you gotta have one on standby for any way you're blond Terry Bretshaw way right, I have Advisor with spikey hair that I throw on every once again Cano Fieri.

If I'm going to a party tonight for the NFL Draft, or or going to watch the NBA playoffs this weekend, or going to someone's house and they have a lot of food, is it totally wrong to take to go plate for maybe your kid at home or maybe your wife who didn't make it she wants a piece of cheesecake.

00:26:14
Speaker 1: I tell them that'd be like this is from my daughter.

00:26:15
Speaker 2: I do, but respectfully, I host a lot and I'm always wanting people to take food because if you're the host, unless it's something really sweet, like if there's like two pieces of cheesecake left, I'm like, oh that. But but if there's like how many times, Damnby probably agrees with a lot of times there's a lot of leftover posters. If you have like a kid's birthday party, you always over order. So I got like four Domino's pizzas left you want people, yes, take it?

00:26:41
Speaker 6: Yes, there is a bit of satisfaction that is very unmasked when you order the exact right amount of food.

00:26:48
Speaker 2: It is it's oddly satisfying.

00:26:51
Speaker 6: Yes that that there isn't a leftover that even if there's like a piece, you just throw it out.

00:26:56
Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. When you do that, you feel like a genius.

00:26:59
Speaker 2: Well here's what I too dan for me specifically, right, A lot of times I'll roll solo my girlfriend.

00:27:04
Speaker 1: My daughter doesn't want to come. She's a teenager now.

00:27:06
Speaker 2: So if let's say I'm at a barbecue at Rich's house and she's being a teenager at home, you know, playing on her phone and just doing nothing, She's like, Dad, bring me home a plate.

00:27:16
Speaker 1: And I will. But I'm like, is that trash move or is that a boss move? Right?

00:27:20
Speaker 2: It's not like I sneak it out. I asked, hey, Rich, can I got extra take the Yeah?

00:27:24
Speaker 1: I think that's fair.

00:27:26
Speaker 2: You might back like our parents if I was forced to go to barbecues. And also if you're hosting and she's too old.

00:27:32
Speaker 6: Now, there's no worse feeling than when you host and no one wants to eat your stuff. So to have somebody actively like, hey can I take some with me? It also makes the host fi but enjoy your.

00:27:42
Speaker 2: Parties tonight, which is one of the Coveno Rich rules than buyer you have. If you see a dish that clearly someone's wife or girlfriend or even they brought, you have to try it because you don't.

00:27:52
Speaker 1: You don't want someone feeling bad. Yes, like call, no one touched you.

00:27:55
Speaker 2: No one touched Danny G's wife's dip, you would feel bad, right, let.

00:27:58
Speaker 1: Me down, Just take a pretzel and stirred around. So that's like somebody did it up. Yes, that's part of it, my jellow fruit cake. Yeah, that's you. Gotta have courtesy man, How dare you?

00:28:07
Speaker 5: Brenda actually won the walk up the gualk off we did in here I know, walk off home run, but rich, what if you don't ask? Like my mom used to bring her big purse to some of the gets together and then she would go stealthy.

00:28:18
Speaker 1: Your mom brought her own pupperware, and you can't do that. She she would take things to go not asked. She would just put it stash it in her purse.

00:28:26
Speaker 2: You know what, since we are talking about draft and the party, you know, can etiquette if you have people over for the draft or a game night, what if you bring can you ever bring something back with you?

00:28:37
Speaker 1: Meaning like something that you brought. I mean, I've seen the trash.

00:28:41
Speaker 2: I've seen people do this where they bring like a handle of Tito's and then at the end of the night like, yo, you.

00:28:45
Speaker 1: Cool, I bring this back with me.

00:28:46
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, that's unless it's like your your boy, like you're really close, budd, you know he's not gonna drink it.

00:28:54
Speaker 1: Otherwise, No, you brought that for the house.

00:28:55
Speaker 2: That's in other words, you bring a bottle of wine and then take it back with you because no one and get get out of here.

00:29:01
Speaker 1: That's the weakest, the worst.

00:29:02
Speaker 5: Those when they don't acknowledge you walking in with something you kind of set it down.

00:29:05
Speaker 1: No one sees you. It's like the woods you're taking. You have to model it. Yeah, yeah, you know what it's like, Danny.

00:29:13
Speaker 2: It's like, uh, that's I felt episode when you put a tip in the jar when the person turns around you.

00:29:20
Speaker 1: That happens all the time to me. You have to be like you have to be like the elaborate jerk like you.

00:29:24
Speaker 2: You also have to like dangle the five dollar bill above the tip drawer head.

00:29:27
Speaker 1: I give it to them here, you put it in the jar.

00:29:30
Speaker 3: What if they see it but they don't acknowledge it, and you're like and they're like, and you're like, where's my family?

00:29:34
Speaker 1: You gotta do it enough. There wasn't enough. You got to do my FiOS style slide on the dollar, your hand in the hand, one dollar, yeah, one dollar. Get out of here.

00:29:46
Speaker 2: So guys, enjoy the get togethers tonight and this weekend. NFL Draft Night's a big night. Team stars change, players, lives change. I have two questions for you, well, actually one observation, one question. Danny, you sent the meme it said by Fernando Mendoza being drafted by the Raiders instead of the Jets. Throughout the extent of that top tier rookie contract, he'll save over five million dollars in taxes.

00:30:10
Speaker 5: Well stated. This was published by Scout. They just a breakdown on this.

00:30:15
Speaker 2: Stay in Nevada over New York Las Vegas d five point three almost five point four million dollars.

00:30:22
Speaker 1: Which is crazy saves.

00:30:23
Speaker 2: And the crazy part about that is the Jets are so bad you have to pay that. It's like it's costs more to even play for them.

00:30:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's nuts. That is crazy. Make you make less, you suck more just you pay more in taxes. It sucks.

00:30:35
Speaker 2: And my question for you, Danny is can you guys think of an equal analogy where Tom Brady has come out and said he is more than willing and excited to be a mentor and pass down all the knowledge he has to Fernando Mendoza.

00:30:50
Speaker 1: I can't think of. Did he say he wants to he'll ensure he makes him great or something like that.

00:30:54
Speaker 5: Yeah, And what I liked rich he said on the Dan Patrick Show this yesterday morning. He said, I'm gonna push you, and I'm not gonna be mister nice guy.

00:31:03
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on your case. I'm gonna ride you until you're great.

00:31:05
Speaker 2: Tom Brady told him he's ready to be his mentor and pour all of his resources into helping him become great.

00:31:11
Speaker 1: Wow.

00:31:11
Speaker 2: And not only that, he's I heard Kurt Warner on DP show earlier today saying that you know, he picked his brain and he helped him out this whole time. And at Mendoz's IQ is next level.

00:31:22
Speaker 6: So there's also a thought guys like Tiger Woods. It's difficult for Tiger Woods, and it's a bad example where he is right now, but essentially to give golf lessons because Tiger Woods has something that most players don't have. I think Tom Brady, while he had obvious edges, maybe was it the most naturally gifted person. So this process could work better than it would be a different go like Wayne Gretzky trying to teach someone all the stuff that he did well. Why Gretzky can only do that. But I think Brady's different because of where he came from. A damn Bire, you're on fire today, Thank you, thank you very much.

00:31:58
Speaker 2: That's a great point, Dan Fire, Dan Fire fire, because the reality is you're right, it's uh Dan fire, Like Tom Brady wasn't the most physically gifted, not the fastest.

00:32:07
Speaker 5: That he just he is a winner and he processed information on the field faster and better than all the other quarterbacks in the league. And they pointed that out on the DP show that Fernando has already been studying NFL quarterbacks film. It just NonStop, like a psycho about it. In the comparisons with him and Tom Brady right there. Pretty obvious.

00:32:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's right.

00:32:28
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's like, uh like if you know the if you get a personal trainer that you know wasn't given the best genetics, but yet they're still ripped it in shape versus like someone that's just like genetically gifted. It's yeah, this kid's going to commit to reading defenses, knowing what to do when they blitz on him. And that's exactly what Kurt Warner was also saying. So he's learning from the best. He's got the best teachers. The analogy is like any any movie where like some master sun says teaching his pupil, like you know that, that's really it. It's like, hey, by the way, Den Byron, I'm gonna do some acting, you know. A couple guy Daniel day Lewis and Morgan Freeman are gonna They're just gonna give me some. But that's what's so cool is they see greatness in this kid. So he's getting all the help that he needs to become that guy. Yeah, I'm gonna do a ten minute stand up set. I don't know if you guys. A couple of friends of mine helped me, Dave and Bill Chappelle and Burr.

00:33:20
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm gonna give me a couple pointers.

00:33:21
Speaker 2: It also takes you have to be the ultimate pupil, and it seems like from an early age he was that kid. So that's what's awesome about it. Tonight, Tonight's the night. Can't wait. Let's go to dB for an update. dB, What's going on?

00:33:34
Speaker 4: Man?

00:33:34
Speaker 6: Tonight is the night first round of the NFL Draft. It all takes place in Pittsburgh over the next three days. The Ravens today picked up the fifth year option on the contract of wide receivers A Flowers. News in the NBAS the Milwaukee Bucks are hiring former Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins to be their next head coach, replacing Doc Rivers, who stepped down after this past season. Multiple reports had Jenkins going back to Milwaukee, where he once served as an assistant to Mike Budenholzer. Thunderguard heal and Williams is a Grade one hamstring and it's considered week to week, according to ESPN, who also reports spur center Victor women Yama will travel with the team to Portland for Games three and four of their playoff series, but Wembin Yama remains in concussion protocol. Nicks at the Hawks tonight, Calves at the Raptors Timberwolves home to the Nuggets BYU freshman A. J. Devonseep announced till enter the twenty twenty six NBA Draft. While at Wrigley today, they went to extras as both teams were streaking in the wrong direction, and I'm talking about the Cubs and Phils and.

00:34:30
Speaker 7: The O two pitch a drive to right center. Cubs win the ball game. It's on over a line drive base sit in the right center my dansby Swanson. The Cubs sweep the Phillies the final eight to seven and ten, and the Cubs celebrate out here second base.

00:34:51
Speaker 6: With that eight to seven victory of the Cubs Radio networks. So the North Siders have won nine straight. The Phillies have now lost nine in a row.

00:34:57
Speaker 1: Oh man, isn't a team in the NL with a losing street What a bunch of losers?

00:35:02
Speaker 4: Right?

00:35:03
Speaker 6: I can't believe that Braves stopped the National seven to two while in Detroit the.

00:35:08
Speaker 1: Three one, So you canna line drive left field. It's team, It's got a chance hits. That's so funny.

00:35:17
Speaker 8: Spencer turkles and do Rivers and the Tigers walk off the bruge around third into them seen at home, cruise the helmet and.

00:35:32
Speaker 1: Gets the bat.

00:35:33
Speaker 6: Tiger is the radio network with that five to four victory. Dodgers leave the Giants in the ninth three to nothing, Rocky's doubling up the Padres in the eighth, eight to four of the White Sox and Diamondbacks Todd at one in the eighth.

00:35:43
Speaker 1: Guys back to you, Yeah, thank you, dB.

00:35:45
Speaker 2: And can you believe after that twelve game skid by the Mets, the Phillies are in last place?

00:35:51
Speaker 1: That's nice?

00:35:51
Speaker 2: Isn't that crazy that the Mets are not in the last place? And uh something, Maybe we'll get to later.

00:35:55
Speaker 1: I know where.

00:35:56
Speaker 2: We've got a ton of NFL and all this stuff to get to isn't it wild that the Mets with Lindor and no Sodo go zero to twelve.

00:36:03
Speaker 1: Sodo come back, It comes back. They win.

00:36:06
Speaker 2: Lindor's on the el and the Mets have a light schedule. Imagine if they get hot and go on a streak with Sodo and without Lindor, that would just add to that Lindor Sodo narrative. And you have to know that deep down Sodo wants to show.

00:36:19
Speaker 1: That they could win with him.

00:36:21
Speaker 2: Oh that's like when you call out Rich and I do the show by myself, Like, deep down I want to have the best show ever.

00:36:28
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:36:29
