Huge pool party. Drinks flowing? But cheeks out? Oh, yeah. Sam, put your butt cheeks back in. No. Cannonball! Splushy, splashy.

You have 10 seconds. You have 10 seconds to find it for a prize. Yeah. But again, we're playing last one standing this hour for a prize. And we got to talk, when players are miced up, how do you feel about it during the game? Because, man, I've been saying for a long time that I'm not a fan of it, but I'll explain why. Right now we're wrapping up your phone calls. When someone calls you Big Hoss or Big Dog or Big Guy or Chief Rocca or A, I remember

my dad was someone called my dad OG one time he'd know what that meant like I oh gee he's he saying I'm an old guy oh gee's saying for old guy I'm like no man you're original gangster you know when someone comes at you with this weird sort of name nickname how do you feel about it it depends because I get I got offended a little bit not where I'm going to fight somebody or cry about it but it rubs me the wrong way sometimes because as Dan Byer nailed it before you want to be addressed in an equal sort of playing field. Like, hey, bro, what's going on, buddy? If whatever it is you'd feel comfortable dressing somebody,

that's how you want to be addressed. Yeah, I think Big Dog, Big Guy. Danny T. we were talking off the air. You remembered one of your big guy stories, right? Oh, Covino was there. We were at the lobby of our Super Bowl hotel, and we were by the bar, and this waiter was walking by with a tray, and he looked right at me, and he's like, excuse me, big guy.

I remember Clavino laughing Because the way he said it He put a lot of emphasis on the big guy And I'm like, geez Was I in his entire path? Yeah How much? Did I gain some weight?

No one told me? But then again, I said I wasn't necessarily offended When the Tripoli guy the other day Must have said boss 10 times everything Brown or white rice boss Oh, brown rice

I don't like that What type of protein there boss? Put some respect on my name And I'm thinking the whole time Is he realize that every customer This guy must drop a thousand bosses a day. Yeah. Again, when I say offended,

I don't mean like the way people are offended all the time in today's world. I'm just saying it it rubs the sphincter in a weird way. I'm like I don't know if I like that. Mike in Alaska, we'll take a couple quickies and we'll get to some

we'll get back to some baseball. What's up Mike? Yeah, so you get into a restaurant really energetic, you know, kind of wait or whatever and he looks right at you and goes well, hey my friend. And then when they're all done, the orders come out and everything like that, they give you. You're a man. You to man. I hear that. You're a man. Man, my friend. That's kind. A lot of foreigners use that.

Hello, my friend. Hello, my friend. And I'm okay with that sometimes. But again, I guess everyone has their pet peeve. When Jim Nance calls you friends? Hello, friends. Mark in Syracuse. What's up, Mark? My dude. What's up, man? Yeah, I'm cool with that. My dudes, I'm cool with him. Yeah.

Yeah, it's like a whatever. It's like a whatever, uh, Bub. That's good. A job. Yeah, they're replacement words. Uh, Tripp in Vegas who we're going to see next Friday. I know he'll be there. What's up, Tripp?

What's up, gentlemen? It's, uh, I want to know one, who is this big Mike guy. I don't even know who that is. He runs a place. You might see him in Vegas. In fact, you will. But never heard of. I just had an experience, uh, when I was back a couple of weeks ago to see my

parents in South Carolina on a plane. So I'm, because I'm in, I don't sit in row 37. Sorry, Covino. No, I'm in ultra comfort right behind first class. And the guy says to me, I'm actually at the right seat. And he goes, hey, big guy. And I'm ducked down. I have my ear pods in.

I can't hear. And I'm like, I'm with my wife. I'm like, yeah, but you're in my seat. And then the flight of can step in and said, hey, we'll fix this. but I didn't say, hey, little guy. That's where I get mad. Can you say little guy? Or a big guy.

That's even more kind of saying. Hey, listen, no offense to the, thank you, Tripp, we'll see my size and assessment out of this. No offense to the short kings, as they call them out there. But if you bump into a Jose Altuve looking guy, can you be like, hey, little guy? No. That's terrible. Hey, Napoleon. Yeah.

What's up, small fella? And by the way, yeah. I don't like big dog is weird. Big unit I'm okay with. Stop. What? Randy Johnson fan. Yeah, yeah, sure. So let's talk about this miced-up deal they got going on in Major League Baseball.

I got to explain. I'm not just saying this now because it's the Yankees. I've always said this. I find it to be very demanding of these professional athletes. It's very, I don't know if that's the word. You have low expectations. No, Kavino always says. Anytime there's a news story that breaks in a small town,

Kavino's first observation is like, well, I can't believe the composure of like the local police chief got on the microphone. It's like, that's what you do. People step up. Yeah, but there's a lot of professional pressure already on these athletes to deliver high stakes. Every game's a big deal. What's the pressure? Such a big deal.

We come back every day, analyzing everything. But what's the pressure? And you want this professional baseball player to be locked in in the zone and then answer stupid questions from idiot broadcasters in the booth? That's a lot on national TV. Beat it. If I was the manager or coach that team, I'd be like, no. Interview someone else.

My guy needs to concentrate and focus on the game. and I've always felt that way. And, dude, I was hanging with my brother. I'm sorry, hold on, Kavino Popovich over here. Let me, can I say, this is fun for the fans. No, it's not just fun. That's why we talk about it all the time.

Yeah, sports is fun, but don't act like there's not an immense amount of pressure to deliver. Don't act like that's not true because it is. Yeah, it's a game and it's a kid's game, but at the highest of levels with millions people watching. It sounds like such a crybaby B. Whatever, Big Hoss. But, yeah.

Listen, post-game, pre-game, halftime, in between quarters in the NBA, coach interviews. It's the least you could do. The coach is not playing. You're trying to get insight. Fans want to be more involved. That's how the game is evolving and growing. I think this is to pull in the casual fan that likes this. I see the benefits.

It's not that I don't see the benefit of when a player's miced up. But if you care about that team, you care about that player, it's like, yo, take the pressure off this guy. let him concentrate on the, I don't know, the exit velocity of 110 mile per hour rocket coming at his face. You're telling me because jazz chisholm. No, I was talking to the, and you won't let me tell you. I told you, I was hanging out with my brother and me and him were sitting there. I'm like, I hate when they do this. And my brother's like, yeah, I hate it too, bro.

And I'm like, cool. We confirm that this is weak. Let them play the game. Why do we got to have these guys miced up in the middle of a good rivalry here and a game that matters? every game matters. If it didn't, we wouldn't be talking about it all the time. And he's like, yo, one of these days, there's going to be a costly error. And they're like, yo, we can't do this anymore, man.

I'm just waiting for the day it happens. Sure enough, Jazz Chisholm is miced up at third base, a position that he's not necessarily that comfortable with. It's not his position. He's just there because LeMayhew's at second. Here's what happens. So the first question comes from a fan. What are your thoughts on what Hunter Dobbins said earlier about retiring rather than being in pinstripes? I think we're looking at.

One second. Spin throw is right. Difficult play. Yeah, that's all right. We all get it. Yeah, his thoughts on Hunter Dobbins really important in that moment. On the pro. Yeah.

You're good. Um, I mean, for me, I mean, I love competitiveness. Give me a break. Poor guy gets a rocket hit at him. He has to do a spin, spin a roo and then throw. And damn it, it goes. Do you think he would have made that play if he wasn't miced up? He might have.

Yeah. You know, you're not concentrating. It's almost even dangerous. He's there at third base. These guys are hitting rock. Yes, because it's the big leagues. Let him concentrate. Guys are hitting monster shots into the outfield.

You want this guy to be answered questions about his wife or about the clubhouse. Meanwhile, they're in a middle of an intense game with 55,000 people watching and millions at home. Like, that's a lot of added unnecessary pressure. I'd be like, yo, thanks, but no thanks, guy in the booth. And I'm a broadcaster. Beat it. There's a time and place. That's not it. I think this is for the most casual weenie fan that just needs that added extra. Like, you know who says they like this? My girlfriend's like, I like when they do this. I'm like, I don't because I care about the team. You don't. No. Yes. Listen, this gives some

personality and okay then why don't they why don't they mic up pictures why don't they mic up when it you know in big moments because they're distracting they mic up NFL players they just don't have conversations with them and you that's some of the greatest footage we see

every year you could have it miced up but when you're doing a full on interview in the middle of the game that's downtime there isn't baseball dude it's a what are you don't you call me dude but it's too much it's intrusive it's like yo man let the guy play your thoughts 87799 on Fox.

You know, that error could have changed the whole outcome of the game. Could have set a bad tone. Every game matters. And it's because some Gibroni wants to know his thoughts on Hunter Dobbins. Screw Hunter Dobbins. Your favorite pizza toppings now. Go. You can call the broadcasters off.

Remember how famously Rojas on the Dodgers said, hang on a second. Let me make this play. Yo, dude. But still, yeah, that's that provided for a fun moment. But what if it didn't go that way, right? or what if it costs the game? What if something bad happens? What if, you know, what if he had a line drive to the noggin?

Then it's okay. I'm not a fan of it. I never was. Never. I've got to make it very clear. It's not just because of jazz chisholm. It's just, I think these are high pressure game of the week, nationally televised moments. You want to know what jazz chisholm had for breakfast?

I do. Like, give me a break. What do you think jazz chishol had for breakfast? I don't care. There's a time and place. How about after me? Coughough Krispies? How about after the game?

How about before the game? You got to have it when he's getting set there at the hot corner? No, thanks. I'll pass on the interview. I mean, you're just mad because your dude made an error. No, I'm not. And so I said a million times I've always felt this way. I always thought I was asking too much of the players.

You want to mic up people while they play? That's fine. You want to do a full-on interview with them in the middle of the game? Beat it. You got nothing else to talk about? I thought one of the cooler moments. Find something to talk about in the booth. I thought one of the cooler moments of a national game recently was, I believe it was Subway Series, Met Chankies.

And they had Brandon Nimmo on the mic. They also did another one with Lindorr, and they talked to Lindor's wife. His wife surprised him with their newborn. At the game. She was standing there with a newborn. Dude, yeah, it was a nice moment, very forced, but an unnecessary. It could have did that any time. I think it's distracting.

There's plenty of time. In between innings, before and after the game, you're expecting so much from you. these guys. They're trying to play a game and you can downplay it all you want. People's got money on the game. There's high stakes at the game. People's jobs are on the line. You know what I mean? Like Jazz Chisholms at third because he's competing for a spot at second. And you've got to make an errors because you want to know how he feels about his favorite TV show at the moment. We're going to talk in circle.

So I'd rather just move on because your heads up your ass on this one because you think I'm the only guy? Because you think. Are you not taking the temperature of people out there? You think I'm the only guy that feels this way? Take it to temperature? Orally or what? How are you taking these temperatures? 87799 on Fox, if you feel me at all. And you will when it's your goofy-ass team that makes a costly error because some goofball in the booth wants to know what he had for dinner. We'll see what happens then. West and Vegas said us up, but he goes, Kavino, NASCAR drivers do interviews mid-race. You're telling me a mic-ed-up baseball player who does nothing 90% of the time. Ready? Get ready. Yes, that's what I'm saying. Well, you know who agrees with you? A guy that. Why don't you read all the comments that, go against me. Go ahead. Continue. I'm going to read one for you, but now I won't. All right, I will. Our buddy comedian, Michael Yo is like, Kavino's right. Yo!

Yo! That's what's up. Michael, yo. Yo. Yo. See? I'm with Kavino on this. I think that there's a time of place. I also think that there's a difference. So I think NASCAR usually does it in a caution situation. I don't think was they're going down the backstretch at Daytona.

They're checking in to see what's happening with Chase Elliott. I don't remember that. But TNT, ESPN, I know TNT does the inside tracks thing where they will have someone miced and then they'll bring it back. That's different than doing an interview during a game and stuff like that. And sometimes the content that they have on the inside track stuff is worthless. Like there was a game and I can't remember. Maybe Sam remembers we talked about a month or two ago that somebody miced up. They got into a fight with somebody.

on the court. And then when they did their inside tracks, all it was was like, good job, man, good job. Get back on D. Get back on D. They had no audio from the fight that occurred between that person or the argument and another person. So if you're trying to enhance the broadcast, you're doing it in that situation at the expense of actual wins and losses, which I think is wrong when you're usually trying to do it just to bring in more viewers. I know when they do this or when they started doing this was usually a special event like an all-star game or something like that and that was my first thought of like man i don't know how i feel about that but at least it's like one special game it's fun it's for the fans these are real games dude real games that matter they've expanded it's a

golf but they'll do it between shots like when a player hits a t-shot he'll have an earpiece in and he'll walk down the fairway and get questions more more and more players are becoming warm to it but not as you're lining up an eight-foot put needing the save par you're like let's go to jim nance You know? Yeah, I mean, listen, I agree. You're not going to go to Edwin Diaz in a save situation. Yeah. Facing Bryce Harper and be like, it's 2-2.

Okay. By the way, Edwin Diaz, do you? You're more of a boob guy or butt guy? Like, I mean, you're not going to be. Okay, so some guy at the hot corner taking the, again, exit velocities of 110 miles per hour plus, that's the time to be talking to the guy. Give me a break. How about when the guy's roaming the outfield in an All-Star game?

Okay. I get it. Football players just miced up. Yo, my man, what's going on? You ready for the game today? Yeah, that's all fun and good for the B-roll. But an interview during the game, now you're like overstepping.

Stop overstepping, guys. How about you find something interesting to talk about? That's how I feel about it. That's my side. And it costs the Yankees in that moment. Your thoughts next, that 87799 on Fox. And we're going to play. Last one standing.

The game that, That's sweeping the nation. It's trivia for the coveted Swiggy, the stainless steel midnight black water bottle that everybody wants this summer. I still can't get over. I'm being serious. I still can't get over how you think it's so ultimately distracting. You're the gift of gab guy who talk.

You'll talk to a stranger at a park bench like Forrest Gump. You'll talk to a wall. You'll talk to a statue outside, the pigeons. You'll talk to anything. You think these professional baseball players, who again have contracts on the line and games to play for it and jobs to win and millions watching. You think they want to be interviewed in that moment?

No. No. You'll talk to anybody. Not everybody talks the way you talk. Get their personality out there, make the game more accessible, more fun for the fans, hearing from their favorite players. It's so odd to you because you'll talk to anybody. You don't want to hear Aaron Judge in the middle of like the third inning?

No, I don't. I want to hear from Bobby Witt Jr. talking about what's doing? No. Again, I want him to concentrate on the game. I want him to win. If you're really rooting for the guy, you don't want to distract him while he's playing a professional game. All right, so distracting.

All right, hey, the number 87799 on Fox. Let me say that again in case you're distracted. 87799 on Fox. Has no concept of this because he never stops talking. Ever. So, of course, it's no big deal to him. You act like this is a natural thing for everybody. All right, well, then you can tell everyone all.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special. So how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, Hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. Another podcast from some SNL, late-night comedy guy,

I mean, she went down in three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now, and I actually can win on any

surface because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.

Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast's superhuman. documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.

Jacob Kingston grew up in an isolated polygamous sect. We were God's chosen kingdom on earth.

He felt destined for greatness. So when a swaggering Armenian businessman catapults Jacob into an extraordinary world, he doesn't look back. Ferraris and Lamborghinis, private jets, meeting the president of Turkey. I'm Michelle McPhee, and this is one of the most shocking criminal conspiracies I've ever come across. When Jacob met Levant this plant to a billion dollar fraud. But with two kings from entirely different worlds, just how long can their empire survive? The largest tax investigation in American history. You need to tell me what you know.

Is somebody coming after me? Jacob told Levan, you're ruining my life. Listen to Kingdom of Fraud on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. All right.

Covino and Rich, wherever you get your podcast, be sure to follow, rate and

review five stars please and thank you danny g for posting the best of every day and we have the best of the week that drops on saturdays covino and rich everything at covino and rich so again jaz chisholm was miced up but it's not even just miced up he was being interviewed there's a difference being interviewed during a nationally televised game they ask him about hunter daubbins just for reference hunter dauben said that if the yankees were the last team he retired before he ever played them and he's a rookie. Those are some fighting words for a rookie guy, but he grew up, hating the Yankees. For those that don't know Hunter Dobbins, pitcher of the Red Sox. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they were asking Jazz Chisholm about it mid-play, and he makes a really

dope play. Spin throw and then throws it away, makes an error during the interview. E-5! And I knew it was bound to happen one day. I'm like, I hate when they interview these players. Your thoughts. Big Bird in Georgia. What's up, man? Hey there guys, thank you for having me on, man. I thought I'd go on to the radio a little late. Definitely some old school odd couple vibes, the Latino, Rob Parker there, Covino. But I'm with you, man. I'm with you, man.

Hey, you know, would you want your surgeon cutting in you while people are asking them? What's you doing? What's going on? Hey, think about this, Rich. Do you turn down the radio when you're driving to find somewhere just because you're distracted? The only, you know, Big Bird. The only, the only, because you made one good point. I got better when the radio's quiet.

I hate when people interrupt my barber when he's cutting my hair. I'm like, yo, how about you have your little conversation later? The dude is cutting my hair. A good phone plan for you. Yeah, do you remember someone tried to sell my barber a phone plan while I was getting a haircut? So, all right, I get that, but these guys are pros. Corey, North Carolina, what's up, man? I'm just calling in because I wanted to give a personal, you know, explanation to it.

So there was one time when I was playing a. high school baseball, never played third in my life, randomly got put in because there was an injury. The very first ball that got hit to me was a screamer down the third baseline. It hit where the dirt and the grass meets pops me up and hits me in the eye. Full concentration and I still couldn't make that play. No, I do not want anybody interviewing me or any of my teams in the middle of the game. Doug, you're on in Ohio. What's up, Doug? Never learned. anything of any relevance from being miced up, listening to these guys. And you can just tell how uncomfortable they are, you know? Their comfort zone is their major league sport they're playing.

That's why they're professionals. And guys, which brings me to a topic, you ever found a pro athlete retired who becomes a good actor? I would think, man, they play in front of thousands of people on these big stages, and then they get in front of a camera, and they just seem so stiff. Yeah, you're right. even wrestlers, Batista's all right. Dwayne the Rock Johnson's all right. Bautista, yeah, he's actually one of the better ones, but it's few and far between. The more I think about it, I think people like you and all our callers just can't handle the pressure. I think I would be okay being miced up in the bedroom.

We don't want to hear that. That's true. It's been done before. Imagine if they've miced you guys up at your job. Eddie in Indiana. What's up, man? Wrapped us up. Hey, man.

Can you hear me? Yeah, we can hear you. What's up, Chief? Hey, man, let's, yeah, I'm with you on this one, man. Listen, the worst ones, the worst ones are the NBA coaches or these college coaches. Like Bernard March Madness, they had one come in. They pull the coach. He's got three minutes on timeout.

He's down 10 points trying to win the game and survive in the March Madness tournament. They pull the coach off with the coach. You're down 10 points. What are you going to do? The dude's got three minutes to get these kids under control, man. And they're pulling up for a stupid TV interview. Let the guy coach. Just got him coach.

But then you know what? Time and place. Maybe people aren't the level of coach. I am, Danny, Jay. you know, the best five-you, T-ball coach. Maybe they should- Winning percentage. Maybe they should mic me up

during the T-ball tournament this weekend. Again, coming from the guy who never shuts up. It's a big difference. By the way, we're all those people that agree with you. You and Danny hung up on him. You know what? Yeah.

Let's do this. Let's go to Dan By for an update and let's get a contestant right now. If you want to play last one standing, win a swigie with all the swaggy. It's a lot of fun. So if you want to play again, 87799 on Fox. What's up, D.B?

Aaron Rogers introduced as the Steelers quarterback today meeting with the media after his mandatory minicamp practice session. Roger saying he made the decision to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers from his soul and also reveal that he's been married for the last couple of months. Kirk Cousins spoke today at Falcons' mandatory minicamp as he showed up to practice despite being unhappy this offseason and being the backup to Michael Pennix Jr. This was cousins earlier today. I think when the season ended last year, you know, as I started then getting into working on my body and having the time to do that,

felt like I thought I was much better than I was. And I think you learn that as you improve, as you make improvements, you realize, oh, I thought I was already back and I'm still, you know, making a lot of improvements here. So that kind of then tells you that, hey, on a 1 to 10, I thought I was at an 8 and I was really back at a three or four. And now I'm getting back to that, you know, six, seven, and Nate, so you start to kind of realize that you weren't quite as far

long as you thought. Cousin says he's not going to pout. He's going to serve as to back up to Pennix as long as he is in Atlanta. Commanders, writer's hero, Terry McLaurin, and no show at minicamp today. As with Steelers-on-Backer, T.J. Watton, Bengals, Defensive end, Trey Hendrickson, Micah Parsons of the Cowboys showed up, didn't do anything while Bill's running back James Cook. Same thing in Buffalo. Denver Broncos, San Fridge, are running back J.K. Dobbins to a one-year deal worth just north of

$5 million, according to the NFL network. Colorado at football coach Dion Sanders has been away from the program, according to the USA today, as he deals with an illness. Indiana fever without Caitlin Clark tonight against the Atlanta Dream. U.S. Open starts Thursday. World number one, Scotty Sheffler, T's at 125 Eastern. Rory McElroy will be off in the first run at Oakmont at 740 Eastern time Thursday morning. Craig Kimbril signing a deal with the Texas Rangers.

Guys, back to you. Thank you, D.B. By the way, if I'm Kirk Cousins, that's like a hard pill to swallow. Like you're a backup now, right? Like, is that, do you think you'd be able to handle that or no? Yeah, I think it, you know, happened real fast for him. He's still, what, only 36, 35, 36? So fast that a couple years ago, he signed a huge deal.

Right, yeah, and then it's like, uh, psych. But here's what we're going to do. Coming up, we got a contestant. We're going to push last one standing to a few minutes from now. We got contestants' role and getting ready to go. It's my favorite game. It's a great game. You can win a Swiggy.

We'll do it next. And we'll talk a little, maybe if we can, we'll talk a little more NFL. But hang tight. We'll do last one standing next right here on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. And guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, new?

Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a... We're the first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts throughout there. But this one's extra special.

So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. We were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey, Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

The French Open is one of the toughest tests in tennis, and I know firsthand because I competed there myself. I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris. Every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Jen Chinch won.

I mean, she went down at three to. Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lena Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck. Consider this your court side seat to the French Open.
