Yeah, the CNR Experience. Is that what we're calling it? I said it was called the dan Byer backwards at casual Friday. I'd love that. I thought that. Yeah, extra casual on Friday. I love this so casual. I got my gym outfit. Check it out. Straight from the gym getting a weekend. Go, well, there's a deep thought about the gym. We're gonna get some some NBA rapie aldever's in the news, Bilicheck or Cavino. We're gonna play a game today. Yeah, we got prizes. But I want to throw it out there real quick, right quick. I said, the CNR Experience. We love hanging with you guys every day. It's the best part of our day as far as experiences go. Would you say Star Wars at Disney Cars at Disney or Harry Potter World at Universal. I'm gonna throw one more in there. I'm not a fan of the brand, but if you've seen it, you'll know what I'm talking about. Avatar World or whatever it's called. Avatar Land in Disney World in Florida, it's insane. What about Super Mario, That whole world they got going on at Universal.
Cars Land at California Adventure Park is right up there.
That Bride Street that's a top five rod. What experience is the best besides ours? I don't know. Leave it to the Fox Sports Radio Nation eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, the most inclusive show, most interactive show on radio, the world famous Cavino and Rich. We got Danny g super producing ge Happy Friday is right eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. That fuzzy headed Nini Muggins known as Iowa. I'm sorry Javier from Iowa.
I've got the product in my hair today, so it's not fuzzy. I am hovio O heavy hair. Javier.
We found out that Iowa Sam's confirmation name yesterday we were talking about the Pope and everything. His confirmation name was Javier. The lightest guy you've ever met.
Look at the top of your rundown. I printed off for you are Sam Twitter handle top, but I put at Javier Sam ninety nine.
Jaber Sam, I don't know if you could ever live that one down. I love it so much, Savier. And of course DB's got your updates, we got prizes, we got fun taking away to Richard broadcasting life from a Fox Sports radio studio. Before we get into the fun, I have one last thing about the seeing our experience and all those fun parks. I realized that when your kids get involved, I know you love that expression, get involved, getting involved, bro. Then your buddies used to say that, and that meant like going to meet girls and drinking and stuff. Getting involved. This weekend involved getting involved. When your kids get involved travel, baseball, travel, soccer, softball, heat, you know, all these travel gymnastics. I don't think families can vacation the way they did in the eighties and nineties, because I know families that for the next couple of months are like, well sorry, every weekends of you know, some tournament and if you go, your kid falls behind. I get it. It's it's why I don't want your kid to miss out. I only had one rule as a kid when we were playing summer all Stars. My coach is like, on game day, you can't go to the pool because you'll show up to the game all like lethargic and you were in the sun all day. So he would make sure none of the team went to the pool on you know, a tournament game. But that was the only rule. Now I feel like my daughter's having a birthday party in a week half. Her team is like, we're we're doing summer travel. Well, you can't make it any like it. Why do the coaches in these travel leagues expect the parents to do. If the parents have to go away somewhere, that's their one time of the year where they can take a vacation. Look, vacation, that's I was gonna say. Growing up, we didn't take vacations. Really, that's just not how I grew up. We weren't summering in the Hampton's or anything like that. We went to sesame place that was a big deal. You went to Hershey Park, or we went to the Jersey Shore, right, So it was never an issue for me. But let's say you parents want to go to the way, what do they expect the kids to do? Sorry, no family vacations. Tournament in Santa Clarita the street. Plus you're paying an arm and a leg just to get these kids enrolled. Now you can't travel, you're basically driving them everywhere. Hey, it's your life, bro, Now we're never you said it. Yeah, baseball, basketball, Belichick a lot to get to. So let me kick it off. No waiting, no dilly dialing. Let me ask you about this. We were talking about the Knicks Celtics Game three. By the way, do we officially get confirmation Paul Pierce did walk twenty miles to work? Hey, so I see, you know, so not winded, Like that's like Forrest Gump running like I'm gonna start now, Like that does look like a man that rans twenty If he didn't do.
It, at least he put the production value effort into what he did yesterday.
Agreed, Danny g Can I share a little information here? Yeah?
So Sean Merriman, former San Diego Charger, friend of the show, Friend of the show, Sean Merriman, he tweeted out this was at eleven oh nine Pacific time last night. He said mad respect a little at Paul Pierce, and then he screenshoted a grock AI summary and it says that the step count of thirty three thousand and four to sixty five from Paul Pierce on May eight, twenty twenty five appears genuine based on available evidence. And it goes on to he publicly committed to walking fifteen to twenty miles after the Celtics loss, and then he says, and then the grock AI summary says news outlets like n ees N and TMZ, along with his own social media confirmed he completed the journey, which took about eight hours. Yeah, happy too, point two mile route and he shared a map of the route.
And he is the truth. You know it true and you got to commit to bit. Have you ever seen that sports documentary about the woman that cheated on the marathon? Yeah, she took the subway. The subway popped out of the finish line. Yeah, that's a great move. But speaking of Paul Pierce, Celtics, will they recover Game three? They have to at the Garden, New York City. That's gonna be the hottest ticket. It's going to be rocking, man, it's gonna be insane. It's gonna be such a scene and it's the hottest ticket in town. Look, we're from the East Coast. You guys know that. But we're out here in the mean streets of La Live from the Barrios Covino and Rich. But all of our friends, my brother, his friends, they're all trying to get that ticket because the Knicks are hot right now and the Celtics are coming, former champs, defending champs coming to the garden, celebrity status, high ticket prices, and last night checked like six point fifty for the weak ass seats. I gotta check it right now. You Well, well you checked with love or seat geek, weak ass just actually starts weak ass seat and then see what comes up. Yeah, they were like six to seven hundred dollars. So here's my question. If you are in a city where your team is hot and that ticket is expensive, how much of a purchase does it need to be before you run it by the wifey, the girlfriend, the husband, the boyfriend, Like, what do you have a limit where you need to run it by the other person. Well, we have a rule. It's an old rule. Prices have gone up, inflation, triflation, everything's kicked in. Times are different. Our old rule used to be this, if you're a dude and you're making your own money. But again, respectfully, you have a wife and you're trying to keep her posted on your purchases. If you're out and about, and let's say you're at a best Buy or at a PC Richards. Is this also two thousand and five you're at a circuit City Guys, you're at an electronics store, right, Yes, that place. We used to say anything over five hund doh had to be run by your wife. We're not saying ask permission, but we used to say you'd run it by out of respect. So you don't just show up. You're at home in a big giant box and you didn't even tell her about it. But nowadays too, how many boxes do you show up to every day at home? It's like those rules were out the window. No one ran those prices by you. I remember this came up because I bought a car once Danny I decided I need a new car. I went to the dealership and Kevin I was like, oh, what does your wife thinking about? Oh I haven't told you yet. It's like you bought a car. I'm like, yeah, it's not a permission thing. It's like, hey, I'm just running it by, letting you know so we used to say five hundred was the limit for that.
I would say with inflation, it actually makes each dollar we have more valuable. So three hundred dollars right now is the mark where me and my wife let each other know. Yeah, this was over three hundred dollars, just so you know, that's a good point, man. Yeah, so what is that number now? If Knicks tickets are six seven hundred dollars a ticket for the weakest seat, you just buy those and not run it by anybody.
Ye have your wife's like I'm going to Beyonce with my girlfriends? Do you do you feel like it's here's a light to say, by the way, say you can. I think you can, because again we said times have changed. Right, how many boxes, honestly a week or packages come in the mail that you had no clue of They weren't ran by you or discussed in any way at all. And yeah, maybe some of it's for the house, but half of it you don't even know what's in that package. No one cares about you when it comes to orders matter. So doesn't matter if you think that change the rule doesn't matter if you were her as the breadwinner. No, because if you're in a committed relationship, right, it's respect. It's sort of just a respect sort of thing.
I don't think you need to but they chip away forty dollars at a time.
But it all adds up. And I know it, right, Yo, all that adds up if you're making one purchase, think about it. If you're a guy. Of course, men and women are both listening, and so both feel free to chime into eight seven seven ninety nine one box. How many of those packages are strictly and solely for you throughout a month? Danny Nanny, so right one Danny Sorah, DG. You nailed it. I looked at my credit card a couple months ago and I was like, did someone buy a new vehicle? Forty thirty twenty eight, forty sixty twenty forty And again these are things Amazon, Jeff Bezos should send me an edible arrangement. You're right, Sometimes these things just add up. And what are a lot of people say, Oh, it's for the kids. I needed to get the kid, but.
The kids get stuff that some of it is necessities for the house. I get it, But how much of it is for the house? A lot of it is just on board, and I'm online shopping right.
Now, right right, And how many of that is usually for you? Like I said, if I get one package a month, that's a lot. So no one runs that by you. And I don't know how much you have to run by if you're going to one game because your team finally made it this far, and out of kindness, you want to be respectful to your partner. Again, it's not asking for permission. I never want to be the god. That's like news, little kay. If I get these golf clothes, like that guy is a wimp? Oh I could I I was close. Sam your fingers on that button, say that guy's a poh wimp. Never be the other. It's the carding your new permission. But out of respect, because you want to be a good man, you discuss these things with your significant other. But I do ask do you fudge that the amount? Sometimes I always round down. If I'm in Vegas with you guys and I get a little carried away at the craps table, I may trim a few hundred off of how much I lost. When I'm talking to my wife, like babe, how are you doing? Bad day at the tables? What you lose, and I'm like six hundred four hundred. When you're talking money, round down. When you're talking inches, always round up inches, you round top money round down. According to the AI Overview, and I'm not talking Alan iverson. Nick's tickets for the game against the Celtics at the Garden Man What a matchup are ranging from approximately it's up now seven twenty one to two thousand dollars ticket, depending on the specific seat location and secondary market pricing. Some sources indicate that the average price for Nick Celtics games can approach two gees. So look, how often does your team get this far? There's an exceptional matchup the Knicks. Everyone's excited about it. It's one of those Yo, you were there for that. You know, you want to do it for the gram, you want to take some pictures, you want to tell the story. It's basically a must win for the Celtics though, and they've waited a long time. Yeah, you may go there to watch the Celtics win.
I would be so upset as a Knicks fan spending all that money, and it's a game really the Celtics have to have.
But as a fan too, you also feel part of that victory because the Celtics are coming to the Garden. I think they're entering real, real furious territory, like real excited energy levels that we haven't seen in years at the Garden. So the question really is, guys, we broke it down. You get packages all the time, Money's being spent all the time. But if you're going to let's say over seven hundred, right, over seven hundred dollars for a ticket, NIX ticket, Knicks ticket, or any important ticket that is for you, do you have to run it by WiFi or the girlfriend or your significant other, whoever it is. Listen, some couples run so independently of each other that this isn't even a question. Like some people have separate accounts and they do their own thing. Here's another angle. If you're going to a concert. If you're like, yeah, I'm getting sweet seats to the Foo Fighters, or you know your wife or girlfriend Sonic Temple this weekend, Metallica, a bunch of bands in Ohio playing this weekend. If you're going, if your wife went to go see Taylor Swift and spent a ton of money a year ago, that's a guaranteed joyous night. Like if you go see Metallica. Yeah, you're gonna have a great time regardless. Regardless. I'm gonna speak on the other side of that where I spent a couple grand to go see the Mets Dodgers in the playoffs last year, whole family cutting candy, hot dogs and everything. Mets got smoked. So I left being like, man, I'm an idiot. By the way, tickets are still availables. Ninety nine percent sold out for Sonic Temple this weekend in Ohio. Corn See, we got corn, we got Metallic, a Lincoln Park Incubus, Alice in chains and that's a hell of a show. Oh man, Yeah, it's a few days insane. So tickets are still available. But anyway, again, you know the point you get the question eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. The more I think about it and the more I have times have changed. Women are spending so much money, or your significant others spending so much money on things that you don't even know about. I think you can get away with this one because it's the playoffs and it's a big game. We're insinuating your team hasn't been there in a long time. And I'll tell you this listen. You could say, you could say, well, that's sexist, Rich, I don't think it is. You know, my wife does a way better job than I do about making sure things are kept up for the kids. But any package I get in the mail, you know what it is. It's like, Oh, I ran out of deoder and so I ordered it on Amazon. Oh yeah, you know, I needed a new little wire from my laptop I got on Amazon. Are you getting anything really for yourself? Never? Ever, dude. If I buy a hat, like a hat once in a while, like that's it. I have a new Yankees cap. I am never buying it. Oh I ran out of hair product, let me buy it? Like that's my deliveries. So let's think about it. Let's chop it up. Let's get involved. Eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. Some great games. Do you have to run it by? Who do we got? We're gonna go to all your phone calls. Danny G's on there right now, eight seven seven nine to nine on Fox. And while we get those phone calls lined up, I want you to start thinking about something else as well. Rafael Devers a guy that started the season like ass, but he since turned it around a bit. He's always, in his defense, always been a great, great hitter, great player for the Red Sox. As a Yankees fan, Yankees killer, like, I'm like, this dude is incredible. Rafael Devers one of those guys that thinks, excuse me, I'm getting over you are right if I choke and then fall in the air as that could rating. By the way, did you see that woman pass out on Fox News? I'm sorry this is relevant because I'm like, choking. Are you sure you're not having like an ad D attack or something? No, excuse me, this is hilarious. Imagine you and I are doing our show week we do every day. It's a guy and a girl on Fox News. Middle of the broadcast. The girl's like, and coming up, we're gonna talk about the tariffs. Faints. The guy looks she's laying out, and he's like, could someone help her? Coming up on five o'clock. He doesn't ste. He doesn't miss a beat. I haven't seen that. He doesn't miss a beat. If I fall, I want you to keep going, Okay, Joe, Dude, she fainted and the guy doesn't miss a beat. He's like, and yesterday, Pope Leo, and it's like, dude, a woman is laying unconscious next to you, little Rich. Don't go dying, you know. Let's go to your phone calls. Now, I'm back. Sorry, I almost choked for a second. I'm Chris ALBERTA Line one. We'll start with you, buddy boy. What's up in Rich? Hey?
I was just hey, I was just doing a quick search on Grock there on the on the X platform, and I typed in, did Paul Pierce walk barefoot through LA for eight or nine hours? Something to that verbatim, and Grock replied, there is not enough solid and credible evidence to report that Paul Pierce did that.
Well, you know what, even if he didn't, and if it was, if he did a little something, at least he faked the funk on a nasty dunk. Yeah, at least, yeah tried.
If you put at least two to three hours into your bet or promise, then at least you paid something home.
I got him there, Elijah and Fresnow, what's up in Elijah? Elijah? You're on?
Oh?
Hey, hey, I'm sorry.
What's I'm in?
I always frame my large purposes or my US purchases.
I'm sorry, I can't speak right now.
As surprises.
So I'll be like, hey, guess what, guys, we're going to Lakers game five tomorrow.
Oh so you make it seem like everything like oh wow, oh but hold on, but you're including your significant other, right.
Oh, I took I took my took my five year old with us this time. He's not going with us again. Okay, A bunch of a bunch of money on tickets, like two rows up from the floor. And as soon as we sat down, he sighed and pointed up and said, I want to sit up there.
Well, that's a way safer move to include like your wife and your family. Yeah, you're on a budget, but you included them. You made him part of it. That's a safer move. I was thinking, like, you're just going either solo, right or bringing a friend like you're going with your buddy mo in Tempe. You're on what's up? Buddy? Hey mo?
Hey, guys got me So I got it doing my wife over twenty years.
So as long as you're not dipping into this savings, you know.
What I mean.
I don't the permission is necessary, like you said, out of respect, you still give her the heads up.
But if you're smart, you get hurt something.
I know what you're saying, like pad it a little bit like yeah, hey, maybe I got you. I thought of you, and you I don't got you massage.
Yeah.
Oh, by the way, I'm going to the playoff game.
In Rich's case, I bought a brand new car, but I got you a muffin from Starbucks.
And.
I got you a ban not a loaf. I'm actually great advice man, Tim and DC with up buddy, Wait Tim.
Hey, guys quick on the Fox News.
Girl.
I don't think she actually passed out. I think she just was eating her words and said I gotta just bail.
I think she just hit the floor. She did not know, she did not know how to finish hand sentence.
But uh it was.
It's a wild it's a wild cub. By the way, I know, I was a tangent, but looked that up later.
Come.
You know, if you haven't seen it.
She just won't.
I haven't seen it.
Yeah, but uh, it is buying those tickets to the next game a form of gambling, like if they win, you're walking on air, you're taking a limo home. But it's the Knicks lose and I'm out of thousand dollars, like, I'm not even taking the subway home home.
Life's a risk, are now it is? It's definitely a risk. You're hoping they win. I remember going to a Mets game seven and they lost and it was rainy out and I didn't I honestly, I walked halfway b I walked it through Queens for like three subway stops, like I hate life. I remember a time you drove through the desert, yes after the forty nine has lost the Super Bowl, and I was there. I hated life so much that I rented a car and drove home. I didn't want to wait for my flight. You know what, man, you may think it's a sexist sort of take, and I'm not trying to be but if you're a if you're a man, like absolutely, like a Rocky Bill bowman, like Rocky Bobo, like I'm a man, smell mainly absolutely. I don't ask you to stop being a woman, you know, like, don't stop asking me to be a man. And you make your own money and you're not in debt or anything, right, you're a good guy. You make your own money. I didn't you just do it just to establish again that you're the man I hate like. It's not like you're at the Newdy bar wasting money. Your team made it to the playoffs, you're pumped about it. You bought a ticket. It doesn't need much explanation if you're a responsible guy.
I don't think you know a lot of our significant others.
Yeah, no, I'm just saying, but this is a way to re establish, like a reset kind of you know. Let's go to where we're going. We're going to d c H. We talked to today. Let's go to Vegas, Vegas, Las Vegas. What's up?
Trap Hey, gentlemen, good afternoon.
What's up?
So Hey, here's a good spin on this. It's not how much you're allowed to spend. But one time with my ex, she found a credit card statement. I'd spent a little underd four thousand dollars, but it was on her. So therefore it's no limit when you're buying her something.
Gotcha. Yeah, but that's the double standard, right If your wife or girlfriend wanted some expensive bag, is she stopping you from buying it? So you can't buy yourself a sweet playoff ticket? Do you want? Mario? Wrap it up in El Paso and then we'll talk a little baseball, Little Raphael Devers. What's up? Man? What up?
I've been with my.
Wife for thirty one years, and a secret to my success for happiness, I should say, is.
I treat her. I buy her stuff all year long, so there's no limit when I.
Want to go do something with the boys.
I love it. Don't ask question, Mario. That goes with my my theory of my whole marriage, which is, I know, I try to be good on a regular bas and just be a really like thoughtful guy so that when I do dumb things, my wife's like, well, yeah, he's really nice on me. In the bank, yeah, I feel like I'm banking it essentially. And let me make it clear, I'm not saying to keep secrets and don't tell and lie about it. But yeah, I think you get that ticket, dude, if you're a good dude, get it.
Do it.
Well. Hey, coming up, we got a lot to get to. We can play Belichick or Cavino. We're gonna talk some baseball, rugbyl Devers and there's a really funny viral story about the gym, and I think it's gonna be our most fun conversation of the day. It has to do with the rules. Promise the rules of closing. In fact, I promise it will be the best conversation today on Fox Sports Radio overall. Alright, we got more CNR next. Now Danny G's rocking as sweet hat right now. I love that hat, that Travis Matthew hat. When you are familiar with the logo, you see it every year everywhere, and he really stepped it up because it was something synonymous with golf, Like, I mean, that's a nice shirt. Where'd you got It's a golf shirt, Travis Matthew. But now it's every day and you're gonna be seeing them all summer long because they're high quality, They're sweet. I love their T shirts. I love the shorts. I just love I just love it all rich She just love Travis Matthew, I really do. What do you marry them? Experience the ultimate comfort and movement with Travis Matthew pants. I talk about those featherweight jeans. Honestly, they're as comfortable as any joggers or Jim sweats I have. But they look when I pose a Aldo wears those in the UFC Octaga, they tell you those stretchy featherweight Travis Matthew pants are so good looking for a date night. But I said, like, you could go to the gym and them if you wanted. They're that stretchy. I'll discover the perfect prayer are shoes. They got a great footwear at Travis Matthew everything you need. If you're trying to gear up for the spring or summer. You got to refresh the closet every swaften, guys, you don't want to look like the old guy that doesn't care. So Travismatthew dot com received twenty percent off your first order when you sign up for the email. So hey, do little something for yourself. Twenty percent off Travismtthew dot com. It's Covino and Rich, the material Boy, Rich Davis of course, Derri Javier Sam and Danny g. Thanks for being part of this, guys, Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. Weekend is here, op there? What Dan Gen? This weekend is gonna a hell of time trying to figure out the best off for this week? Is what the hell of a week we've had here? I'm glad you brought that up because the best of drops Maniana best of the week. Of course, there's a best of the Day, so they'll be Best of Friday for your listening pleasures on the podcast. But Best of the Week drops tomorrow. What time tomorrow, Dany g Six am Eastern Time, So be sure to check out our podcast search Covino and Rich wherever you stream, and our bonus podcast. Episode ninety one debuted yesterday. We talked about a new home run stat we talked about else. What we talked about, I don't know, unover promised. Oh yeah, we talked about how Cavino loves the new mammoth logo in the NHL. So can you wear gear of a team you don't care about because the logos cool? Or is that like such a lot?
I watched it on YouTube. You talked about the one hundred men versus well not Zimmers. The Zimmers, Ye have the latest version now one hundred Zimmers beat one Paedro.
Yeah, we talked it all on over Promised Episode ninety one that's on Fox Sports right.
And YouTube page. Swore you weren't going to bring that up again.
Yeah, exactly, and right now we're live from Fox Sports Radio Studio Fridays here and anything else, Rich as far as getting those tickets and enjoying the game this weekend. No, I do think though that out of courtesy, we should always run things by a significant other, not for permission, but for you know, just being a good part to run by. I think you just like keeping them in the loom. Yeah that's all. But I am down to talk some Rafael Devers. You know, Rafael Dever is more than I do. Only because you're an Alas fan. You watch the Yankees every day your life. I don't blame you. Fun team to watch. And by the way, have you seen the stat about how in May Juan Soto leads Aaron Judge in every statistical category. Wan Soto's getting hot as Judge getting cold? I mean what nine days into I mean nine days is still nine days? Isn't it? In wave? In my own or not? I know all month I'm gonna go. Let me, uh pull up Devers stats here. I don't know if really matters much, but the dude's approven player. He had a bad start, like you already said, the historically bets remember he was oh for eighteen with fifteen strikeouts. Yeah now he believe it or not, he's bet in two fifty five, which is decent. Considering how he started, and in today's game, six dongs, six bombs, twenty five RBI. That's what he's doing right now. But twenty five ribies for a guy that started that bad. The guy turned the season around. Here, really start giving a great hitter career two seventy eight hitter already has over two hundred career home runs. Two hundred and six career home runs started in twenty seventeen. He's been in the league nine years already. But the dude is good, right, safe to say yeah. But he also played third base for the Red Sox. Then the Red Sox got Bregman and he was like, yeah, but I'm still a third baseman, right, and they're like, no, no, you're not. You're the DH. But now they want him to play first base. So he was the DH all season long. Now they wanted to play first base, and now Devers is saying, yeah, I don't want to do that, and I'll quote him here's what he really said. No, no, no, he said, He's like, nah, he said, I know I'm a ballplayer, but at the same time, they can't expect me to play every single position out there. In spring training, they talked to me and basically told me to put my glove away that I wasn't going to play any other position. But DH, so right now, I just feel like it's not an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position. It was the GM that I spoke with. I'm not sure what he has with me. He played ball, and I would like to think he knows that changing position like this isn't easy. That's Raphael Devers speaking on why he doesn't want to move to first base. Now, there's two ways to look at this, like, hey, man, we pay you a lot of money and a lot, and by a lot, you know what that a lot is three hundred and thirteen million over ten years. So get out there and play ball, right. I want you to clean up the sunflower scenes in the dugouts and we need, you know, million dollars a year. So you can look at it that way, like, hey, dude, we're not asking you to do something out of the out of the norm. We're asking you to play first base or out of the well. I guess it is out of the norm because he doesn't play first bab, but it's itself baseball, your professional ball player, right, I get it. Now you could say, dude, we're talking on the highest of levels to get out to a position he's not familiar with. He was a third baseman again, and play first base, which requires a specific, a particular set of skills. Right, I would say, aside from catcher, first base would be they Liam Neeson. No, but it is you have to know how to skills. You have to know how to scoop, you have to know how to stretch, you have to know how to cover. First base does require a specific skill set that he's not familiar. But it's not like Sunday softball where you put your fat buddy at first base. Right, this is major league baseball. So I mean it's one thing to jump out there in Sunday softball, but on a high level to get out there and you don't feel confident about it, and it's not your position, you don't feel good about it. If you play bad, you're just running your own reputation. Again, it's not little league. He's already had a tough year. It's not little league, weep, but the tall kid or the lefty at first base. This is that every position in Major league baseball is of the highest skill. Now, so I'm just giving you both sides so that you could think about it and weigh it out, and we're going to figure out, well, who's wrong here. I have my opinions, Rich has his. We'll go around the room, we'll take your phone calls. Should he just go out there and shut up? Or you go out there and take a risk and embarrass himself. And then everyone's pointing at him like he's doing something wrong. He's like, hey, I just sign up to play first I'm not at first base. Now. Money isn't everything, but when you make three hundred plus million dollars over ten years, that's a hell of a lot of money to play a kid's game and have fun. But he's deserved it and earned it based on the market value and what Rafael Devers brings. I think who I'm blaming is Endeavors. It's I sort of blame the Red Sox for going after Alex Bregman, which they should have. The guy's batting over three hundred, he has nine home runs, thirty ribi's he's a star. You want Bregman on your team. But when Alex Rodriguez, who you could argue is significantly better than any of these guys were talking about when he went to the Yankees. He's like, listen, I want to play for a winner. Where do you want me to play? Do you want me to play third base? Because Jeter's your shortstop? If there have been a sense of Bregman not wanting to take a SuperStar's position, or is Bregman like, yo, you want me on your team? I played third base? I think it was the Red Sox call from the get go that he was just the guy. They didn't really give Devors much of a shot or chance. They they just said Bregman was the new third baseman. It was sort of a surprise to everybody. And again, this all happens because the Red Sox first baseman Cossas had a season ending knee injury, Tristan Cassa, So they're like, well, hey, Devers, can you get out there? He's like, what, I don't play first base? So is the money the factor? Because how would you approach that at your job? You're like, yo, I don't do that. What if it was just a skill set you don't have. But it's like a dude who lays down tile, all right, It's like a dude who does drywall right, Yeah, we need you to tie and he's like, yeah, but I don't tiele. I mean, I mean probably figured it out, but it's not gonna be that great on time, and then I'm gonna have to deal with the consequences. But that's not what I that's not my skill set. So you know what, think about it. We'd love to hear from you. Are are you team? Rafael Dever. You rarely see a player put their team on blast in this way because they're saying they He's publicly saying they messed up. This is their problem. I don't play first base.
Yeah, you know.
I'll break it down with one final statement then we'll go to dB. When you play rex sports, if you're playing pickup basketball at the gym, or you know, weekend softball, whatever you do to stay active, pick a ball. I always say, if someone asks the new guy, hey, new guy, Hey, where do you play? You know what? The only answer is, wherever you need me. Well, we also talked about this week. You gotta be versatile, man. If you're not. We talked about earlier this week the times where people step up because someone goes down, and we also commended it. So we have to be consistent here. We talked about the dude at the Kentucky Derby, we talked about Scott. Remember when Charlie Arnold had to do ring announcing because Joey Martinez got sick. Yeah, she's not a ring announcer, but she did it, became the first woman ever to do it. People step up, People step up? Is the point. How do you feel about it? We'll take your phone calls, but first and first, mostly your update from the guy, the man casual Dan Byer. What's up? dB?
Makes me wish the National League didn't get rid of the DH right right? You know, what are you gonna do?
Hey? Hey, gotta play? You gotta play? All right, guys.

They need him to play first base, but he's like, you know, I thought I was your DH. You said I was your DH. I wanted to play third You said no. What do you think, Brian in Vegas? Can you resist it?
