We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick.

Winning on Clay is an art. The rallies are relentless. And at the French Open, only the toughest survive. I'd know. I competed there for decades. Join me, Renee Stubbs, on the Renee Stubbs' tennis podcast for no-nonsense breakdowns of the biggest matches, the toughest players, and the moments that define Roland Garris. She can win.

So I'm Leanne. Yeah. This is my best friend, Janet. Hey. And we have been joined at the hips since high school. Absolutely. A redacted amount of years later, we're still joined at the hip. Just a little bit bigger hips.

This is a podcast. We're recording it as we tailgate our youth soccer games in the back of my Honda Odyssey. With all the snacks and drinks. Why did you get hard seltzer instead of beer? Oh, they hit a bogo. Well, then you got it. Listen to soccer moms on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get

Unfiltered conversations from night sweats to to futas to scheduling sacks. Wait, what sex? Is it just me? Or does every woman my age want to look at Pinterest instead of having sex sometimes?

They say we can't polish a turn, but we're sure going to try. So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter. Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Gianna Maria Riva on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, thanks for listening to the Covino Enrich podcast. Be sure to catch us live every weekday from 5 to 7 Eastern, 2 to 4 Pacific on Fox Sports Radio. Find your local station for Cavino and Rich at Fox SportsRadio.com or stream us live every day on the IHeartRadio app by searching FSR. Yo, not quite sure anyone brings this level of fun.

Oh, yeah, super fun time begins for having a super fun time day. Yeah. Covino and Rich on a Taco Tuesday. And I do want to thank the tremendous production team for our little intros and segways. We got the best team in the business. Not just saying that. I don't need to put down other crappy radio stations to lift ours up. We just got the best team.

That's right. And proud to be part of the premier sports lineup in the nation. You just read that off the wall. I did. It says it right there on the wall here in the studio. But across the wall, Danny G. Hey, what's up, buddy, Iowa, Sam. DB, which are updates.

Again, we're CNN on FSR and we. We rock it out. Let's go. I hope you had a show hey kind of morning. Yeah. Hope you had a show hay, two. hit kind of day so far. Otani.

Nobody here in the States watched it really. But hey, it was a nice win to start off the season, a wasted opener, in my opinion. I do agree with that. Like, you're going to give the home opener to Tokyo at 3 a.m. in the morning. 3 a.m. I must be lonely.

Match Fox 20 is Rob Thomas watched. 3 a.m. KLF. Uh-huh, uh-huh. 3 a.m. Eternal. Who's up at 3 a.m. watching baseball. Nobody. So after a world championship season that the Dodgers had, one for the ages, you would think that you, Danny G., the lifelong Dodgers fan, would get first dibs on watching the game. No. Were you up at 3 a.m. or not? I have to admit, I did get up one time. It was a

bathroom break. And I checked the score. And right as I turned it on, it was the overthrow. And Otani came around to score to take the lead two to one. And then I went back to bed. You know, Four to one win over the Cubs. Congrats to the Dodgers. A middle of... A middle of... A lot of... Again, you would think that you get to watch them on opening day,

but you can only see the highlights, unless, of course, you're on Tokyo time. Tune in Tokyo. Yes. It was my favorite game. Let me tell you. Watching a game in the middle of the night, or as you said yesterday, sometimes there'll be an international fight.

Oh, I hate that. The time is all weird. I mean, think about it. When we were kids, Mike Tyson, Buster Douglas. That was in Tokyo. Yeah, but that was late at night, like around, it wasn't around 3 a.m. Yeah. It was like midnight-ish.

But it's sort of like when you wake up on the West Coast and you're not quite sure what the stock market looks like and you open your phone, you're like, big money, big money. Oh, like, because it's already started. It already happened. And here you are tuning in late. But hey, congrats to the Dodgers. You are now 1-0 on your way to winning 120 games and then hopefully choking in the playoffs. Again, we're broadcasting live from the top. That all went away last season.

Yeah, that way. Tirec.com will help you get there an unmatched selection, fast-free shipping, free road hazard protection, over 10,000 recommended installers. Tyraq.com, a tire buying should be.

Fill out your bracket now until Thursday morning before the games begin. Visit foxportsradio.com for the rules, how to register and all that good stuff. Courtesy of our good friends and sponsor Tractor Supply for Life Out Here.

You know the chances of filling out a perfect bracket? I looked this up because it's absurd. I broke out my TI.82. One. I didn't have a TI.82. What did you have a Mr. Professor? I had a Texas Instrument Little Professor, actually. Yeah, the guy with the mustache and the glasses.

The little kid calculator. I really didn't have a TI.82. One in 9.2. Oh, now I'm forgetting. Quintillion. Quintillion? Hold on. Zero.

Zero. Zero. Your chances are zero is what I'm saying. When all the answers are zero. How many zeros? Zero. No offense to our great sponsor, tractor supply.

But anyone could be like, yeah, I'll give you a bazillion dollars if you get the bracket right. Because I do think it's one in nine point two. Brazilian could really? Do you think Fox Sports lawyer like signed off on the one million

for insurance reasons like just in case? Yeah. Why couldn't we say $10 million dollars to the one person? It's not impossible. That's why. Yeah, but impossible. It's not impossible. What up, DB?

They say what you should do then is just double your winnings for every game. Like if you could, now there are games at the same time, but if you just doubled your winnings from like, say, starting from a dollar, if you got, imagine being on a 67 game heater. Yeah, right? Like exponential fortune. It's like you ever see those things like, hey, would you take a big sum of money now? Or what if I told you I'll give you a dollar, but I double it every day?

That's exactly. Yeah, yep. Right now I looked it up. I was, was that right? Did I say it's one in 9.2 quintillion? That's your chance of guessing all 63 games right once March Mandus begins. Elon on X is offering a trip to Mars. We don't, that's like when you had.

You buy Mars. Yeah, that's like when we used to have the Mountain Dew and Pepsi points and they're like, yeah, you can win this jet, this fighter. And that's why they made that documentary. And then you're like, someone actually tried to do it. And they're like, no, you actually can't have this. because that's against the law. Yeah, honestly, when Elon Musk, he might as well say, yeah, you'll win Mars.

You could win Mars. If you win, if you get a perfect bracket, Mars is yours. Great. I don't want to go there, though, because we haven't even sent anybody there yet. Jeff Bezos could say, you know what, I will gift you Amazon if you get the bracket right. One in 9.2. What is it again? Can I just cash in for property on Mars?

Because I really don't want to go. Quintillion, bro. You're having a hard time remember that. Quintillion. But again, how often is something in the quintillions? I mean, but you read the fact. Yeah. Is this a part of the show today where we're all going to go over our brackets? No, not at all. Not at all. I didn't even fill mine out yet. But I have to fill mine out by tomorrow again.

Tomorrow night. A bracket challenge. Tomorrow night. It's a good bet. Yeah, because we got the first four games starting this afternoon. That's right. The madness begins. Now, based on the madness, we're going to get to a bunch today. We're going to talk some baseball. Tracy Morgan's vomiting. We're going to talk about poor Tracy Morgan. Joey Callow or is it Gallo? It's Joey Gallo. Gallo. He's in the news. We're going to talk about him.

We're going to talk about wearing your sports team's gear on opening day. Shack Diesel trivia. I don't know how we're going to fit it all in, to be honest. But I did want to bring up a question that I asked you earlier. And I'll give our pals at Barstool a quick shout out. I heard them discussing this. And I said, you know what? I've had this thought before.

So I'll take it and bring it to our show. The question was, how many NBA players that are active right now, if you put them on a 16-seed team, like a St. Mary's or something like that, would win the whole thing. Like if you said, LeBron James, you're now on...

Numbers high. Over 75. Closer to 100, probably. Dan Byr? Danny G. Like, if you said... Don't undermine and underestimate how next level great these guys are to be in the NBA. If you took a random superstar...

Brian Scalabrini could lead one of these teams to a championship. Maybe not now, but you know what? No, now he beat the Messiah, George the Messiah in a streetball game. He still could do it. But if you took a Jalen Brunson or, you know, a superstar in the NBA

and put him on a 16 seed, how many guys do you think are in the NBA now that could take a 16 seed all the way and just cruise to winning a national title? Like if you put LeBron James, like I said, on St. Mary's. 75 because for every superstar on every team there's a guy who's almost as good there's a number two there so i'm going 75 you always talk about the NBA's top 75 of all time i'm just saying 75 just because i don't think it's a low number i think these guys are superstars they've made

it to the NBA they're superstars they're the best of the best so i think the number is high higher than you think because again there's levels to the game. How about the sparks men's practice squad? Think about how many great players don't make the NBA. These dudes made the NBA and they excel in the NBA. So you got to figure the numbers relatively higher than you probably think. That's what I'm thinking. You're saying again,

how many players in the NBA could lead a random team to a college championship, right? Dan Byer, what's your initial instinct on this? So is Covino saying 75% of teams? He's saying 75 current players in the NBA. Oh, current players. Okay. It's just that I'm picking any arbitrary number. He's just playing off of like the NBA's top 75 player.

I'm just picking 75 players currently. It's a random number, but I hear what you're saying. So if you put Nicola Yolkich on St. Francis. Yeah, Francis. They win. They win the whole tournament. Without a doubt. I would say zero.

What? You don't think Yokic can just power his way. Carmelo Anthony did it for Syracuse in 03. I know, but I'm just thinking of just one player. I mean, Yolkut should have to have 70 and 30 for like a St. Francis team to make a run. How do you stop that guy? How does a college nerd who's good at basketball, he's good, but he's not great, who never sees and sniff the NBA, how do you stop a Yonis?

I don't know. I don't have that answer. Right. But I do think that if you run pickup games, and that's what I go to. When you run pickup games, at some point maybe a team gets tired, maybe something happens. Another team that's a little bit less will grab a game, and then that team has to leave the court. And so I would think that at some point there would be one team. I'm not saying they would lose six games, but at one point in a game of basketball where you only have one.

one player of that caliber. Yeah, I would say. I think a guy like, Yokic is a great example because the NBA, they lack big men. So think of college. There's not a lot of great big men. If you took Janus onto the coupo and put him on, how about this, high point university who's in the tournament? Could he lead them to a championship? I think Janice could take High Point University and be cutting down the net in a couple weeks from now.

Maybe you're right. You know where I would go? The comparison, because I think that Syracuse. still had top quality players around Carmelo. They did. And they had Beheim and good coaching. I get it. It's Steph and Davidson.

Hypothetical. So they made it to the elite eight. Yeah. When and you talk about, so like if you put Stefan Davidson now, they'd win the whole thing. Yeah, you're probably right. So maybe I should back off my zero. Like in. Maybe it's not 75.

Maybe top 10 in the players. Yeah. I think, yeah, I'd go with. I'm saying honestly, my real answer, I said 75 DB, just because it's a fun number. I'm saying closer to 100, but it's probably, I'm thinking 60, like two per team. Yeah, again, to give props, I saw Big Cat on Barstall talking to Caruso about this. And they were saying there's probably one or two guys per team in the NBA that are that level. Because you've got to think the best of the best 19, 20-year-old college kids would be out of their league even entering the NBA.

Sure. Like how do they stop with Steph Curry just from lighting it up? The NBA can't even figure it out. Some college teams are going to figure that out? Luca or Yokic or, you know, like you said, Jatelyn Brunson gets hot. And these guys are putting up big numbers against other stars. I mean, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, I think all these dudes would lead their team to a championship. Again, it's a hypothetical.

I'm not a big fan of them, but it's a fun one. The reason I think that it's interesting is because don't we always say whoever the best team in college football is that, well, how would they do against the worst team? And then everybody comes out, all the former players be like they'd lose 80 to nothing to the, to the Tennessee Titans. But as a golf fan, when people think that players are good, like there is a different level to the tour pro. So in a one-on-one situation,

Peter Jacobson is his career is over. He now does a lot of TV. But he always said that he was closer to Michael Jordan. If you were to compare being a basketball player like Michael Jordan, because he loved to play golf, that Peter Jacobson was closer to being, Michael Jordan as a basketball player than Michael Jordan was of him being a golfer.

Oh, yeah. That's like the skill. That's the Scalibrini always says, I may have been the worst in the NBA, but I'm closer to LeBron, closer to Jordan than you are to me. You know, that was his thing too. And that was always the fun bit with Scalabrini. You know, big, goofy white guy played in the NBA for quite a while. His whole gimmick

was shutting up haters online. He would take like these ballers. They'd like, that you would think like, oh, they'll battle him. He would blank them. light them up. Yeah. So it's just an interesting hypothetical. I think it's a good mix with five players as well because there's one that you'd still have four others around that if they were schmucks, maybe you could end up taking you down. What about this? What if you took, now I'm going off the rail so we could stop.

But I was going to say, what if you took a WMBA team and put one superstar in it, would they run the table? Like what if it was in the men's tournament? Yeah, in the men's tournament. What if you took like the L.A. and put Kevin Durant on it. So it's Kevin Durant and the L.A. Sparks. Would they win the NCAA tournament? Oh, man. I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know how an L.A. Sparks would do against one. I don't think so. Everyone loves to chauvinistically say, like, you know, a men's high school basketball team would whoop the W.M.B.A. And that's likely. But what if you took Kevin Durant and put him with Cameron Brink and the ladies for the L.A.

Sparks and said, all right, you're now in the Sweet 16. Take it away. I don't know. It's interesting. Something to think about. Dumb thoughts I had. Thoughts you have when you're on edibles. I mean, on a random Monday night when you're hanging around.

Yeah, perfect. I get it. So anyway, I hope you're enjoying your Tuesdays so far. What about if you could pick an animal to then? No, I'm kidding. Yeah, how far do you think you could go? What if Teen Wolf was on your team? But you also had to have chubs on your team.

All right. Speaking of basketball, I'd say let's start with this, but we already started. Last night, Tracy Morgan. Did you see this guy? Ain't nothing wrong with a little opulence. Astronaut Jones himself. Courtside at the Knicks game. By the way, I don't think enough people appreciate Astronaut Jones.

One of the greatest SNL characters, in my opinion. Right up there with some of the most legendary skits. Brian Fellow. So far a planet. I'm a big fan of Astronaut Jones. You know, I'm on a rocket. Astronauts Jones is fantastic. Astronaut.

He sang it at the SNL 50. so Tracy Morgan court side and it's a sad video because you see that feeling that we've all had we're like oh oh no no you know what the sad part of the story is he barfs all over the court he's court side and he barfs and everyone has it on video my immediate thought and I feel ashamed to even think he was like he probably drank too much because it could happen to anybody but then I found that he's sober right so I'm like here I am assuming yeah you probably he had a little too much a drink. It happens. I'm not judging him, but it happens. It's just embarrassing because he's a celebrity. Instead, it was some bad food. Instead, yeah, he really

did get food poisoning. And even when I heard food poisoning, I thought to myself, yeah, likely story. He was boozing. That's the truth. Sober. Yeah. So I'm happy to hear that he's okay. But it doesn't take away from how embarrassing that is. The Paul Pierce wheelchair was awesome. They pull out a wheelchair for the guy. And they wheel him off to court because he barfed all over it. You know, I just wanted to let it be known. It could have been worse. I thought about this.

What if Tracy Morgan getting sick at the garden? Maybe I'm pregnant. Created a ripple effect a la goonies. Then this was horrible. All the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad. of my entire life. Imagine Tracy Morgan.

Maybe I got morning sickness at the night time. Maybe 18,000 people are like, no. Or that infamous scene from Stand By Me. Yes. Oh, Lardess. Contest, yeah. Lardess. So, hey, it really is the worst.

I mean, that's the downside of being a celebrity. You can't pick your nose. You can't really do anything in public. You can't throw up courtside at MSG when you're famous. And this is a winning, Nick. team. You imagine there would have been more vomit had to spend the Knicks, what, six, seven seasons ago. Exactly. To put a little bow on the conversation, we wish Tracy Morgan well. And he did tweet from the doctor's office saying that on the bright side, the Knicks are now 1 and 0 in games

he's vomited. So congratulations to the Knicks. Yeah, we're happy. By the way, just so you know we're fans. Rich and I, fun fact, actually got to sing Astronaut Jones with Tracy Morgan. One of our favorite bits on SNL. We had them on the show. And we said, we're a big fan of Astronaut Jones. We sang it with him. And he started just singing it. We're like, let's do it. I knew every word.

I was proud of myself. So I'm a big fan. But I did think immediately that, man, he must have had a little too much of the grandpa's cough syrup. Of the cough syrup. Like Jason Stewart, we were talking about this with Jason Stewart, producer of the Ghaleep Show. And he's like, oh, he had to be on drugs. I don't know. Maybe he was just sick.

He's like, no, he's on drugs. Or? He was sober, I guess. As the story goes, food poisoning. But you know what? What Jay Stu said? And what Kavino thought is the common sentiment. Like when someone gets sick, you're like, yeah, whether they're drinking or boozing or drugging?

It's like, no, like he just got caught in that moment that, unfortunately, we've all been in our very own. Colin Cowherd, what, like a month or so ago? Remember right before the Super Bowl? Mid show, Colin's like, no, yeah, first segment of the show. Do you remember that? He's like, Eagles, Chiefs in a week, stars, stars, stars, we got to go to break because I'm losing here. Yeah, guys, my stuff, oh, hold up. I'll be back.

Like, it happens. No, I had 11 minutes, coming back from Iowa, I had 11 minutes to catch my connecting flight, and I had to go from one concourse to another, so I wouldn't go on the train, I was sprinting. I had about 15 gates to go with about one minute left, and I was like, I have to stop because I almost booted it right there. And I almost threw up right there in the airport because I was huffing, puffing so much. Lack of cardio is your reason, though? Well, yeah, that was obviously an issue, but I was really booking it, and I almost booted it. Imagine that.

I was Sam. Like on, you know that moving walkway? That's what I was on. I was like, I felt bad that the Knicks. It feels like you're running at an incredible rate, Harry. The Knicks actually had to come out and say, we'll invite him back to the garden. And I was like, oh, that stinks that they had to put out a statement saying he's welcome back.

And by the way, it wasn't just a little bit. I don't know if everyone saw the clip. It was project. Yeah, it was pretty significant. So a real embarrassing moment because, again, they had like, Paul. for a little bit, clean up. It was court side, right on the court. Nosebleed? He also had a nosebleed, like, with it. So, like, yeah, that's serious.

It was. So there was, there was genuine concern at one point. And it was really serious. He had his face in the towel, again, the wheelchair there. But at first, I really did think it was like a Paul Pierce sort of moment where it was, like, kind of stage. Like, all right, let's get him out of here. But he really was sick as the story goes, so wishing him well and have to acknowledge it. and we're all human and things happen and there you go. No doubt. All right, listen, coming up right here, Fox Sports Radio, Kavino and Rich,

Dodgers Cubbies happened while most of us were sleeping. I'm seeing the highlights on TV right now. Do you notice the, they're almost like paying homage to old school baseball? Dan Byer would appreciate this because him and I notice these things where guys like Kavino don't. Maybe you're more of a Rich Davis guy than you think, Dan Byer. You notice the dirt just around the bases a la like, the Expo's old stadium and the twins. Like remember some of those domes would just have,

they would have the dirt only around the base? That's old school. I don't think any stadium has that. What about Toronto? Do they still have that in Toronto? No, I'm saying you forgot that. Yeah, Toronto had that as well. Yeah, but now they don't.

Not in Toronto. No. But last night, this wall went down where we're sleeping. And there were some takeaways from day one of Major League Baseball. And I have an observation of the Fox Sports employees that are all Dodgers fans. and I'll explain next right here. Fox Sports Radio Tuesday with Kavino and Rich.

What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas. 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. And, 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, 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.

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, she went. I mean, she went down to three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay.

Listen, Lina Rabakina 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. Listen to the Renee Stubbs tennis podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I'd put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the I-Hard Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Was this in your CD-changer in your car in the 90s? No. Too cool for Matchbox 20? I like Rob Thomas. I love Matchbox 20. Screw you. 3 a.m. The Dodgers must be on.

3 a.m. It must be time for the world defending champions. 3 a.m. I see what Iowa Sam did there. You brought the song up earlier, so I was like, I'm a little recall. Let's play it. 3 a.m. I must be lonely. Where's Shohei Otani?

getting ready for Shaq Diesel Trivia, giving away prizes today on a Tuesday. Iowa, Sam has a hot take about the Dodgers game. It's 3 a.m. There's Tiasco Hernandez. I have a hot little take. about that game in Tokyo. I just want to share it.

It's actually... Your takeo on Tokyo? A little takeo about that game in Tokyo. Me and Bershinger kind of co-sign on this opinion, but it's not a whole like... I know people are like, well, you know, why is it getting opening day started like this? And it's not a lot different than, like, Notre Dame going over to Ireland and playing a game over there, and that's week zero. Like, this is... This looks like college football to me.

I don't hate it. I don't hate it at all. The same way the NFL last year they had the game between the... the Eagles and the Packers started. Where was that in Brazil? Right. I mean, I get it. You're trying to expand the game.

I don't hate it. It's week zero of baseball and people celebrate opening day differently for MLB. Like it doesn't have the same hoopla around college football when you start on like the first Saturday of September or late August. I agree. There is something special about opening day baseball. And I think that's why like old school fans like opening day. Because everyone's playing at the same time on the same day. It's going to be more and more like college football where it's going to be like week zero, week.

week 0.5 and then the actual start. I don't hate that. What is weird, though, is it's like it's an extension of spring training almost because you start, then you seems like you stop again and start. That was my take. That's the part that is hard. What's weird to me is that while the Dodgers already have a, you know, a win in the, you know, a W in the win column,

other teams are still like at spring training. Yeah, that's what's weird. You know, it's too far away, though, to you can't fly over there, play a game, and then just get right back in the rhythm. I've actually been to Japan and went there when I was a teenager, and the jet lag is real. It is very real. Is that when you were modeling internationally?

I was, okay. New York and hop on. I was 15. He's too sexy. Little blonde kid, 15 years old, and I was taller than most of the men there. Yeah, I was like. Not tall people for the most part. But I was like towering over them.

But just to think, like right now as we speak, the angels and reds are playing in a meaningless game. Yet 10 hours ago, Dodgers are, you know, playing for something. eating the Cubs, yeah. So they played, it's official, but they played at 3 a.m. Yeah. Now, Rich, before we get into

the Joey Gallo story and reinventing yourself. Yeah. And the Dodgers jerseys. Can I just tell you as a Yankees fan? I'm never the pessimistic type of guy. I'm never the fan

that says, they suck and mad about it. But I really do think that unless they make a significant move. And again, we're talking about the team that played the Dodgers in the World Series. Unless they make a significant move soon, their seasons washed before it even starts. And you see a lot about this on social media, my algorithm especially, but I don't hear a lot of people on Fox Sports necessarily talking about it, how significant the injuries have been

for the Yankees. They're the team that you think have a shot to come back. you and I bet a thousand dollars on who'd have a better record. The Yankees of the Mets. You know, I'm sort of liking that bet. You got no heel, right? Who is the rookie of the year last year? At least no heel for now.

No heel on the heel. No heel. You got Clark Schmidt, who's saying he can't be ready because he's injured. You got Giancarlo's stand with bad elbows. How much tennis was this guy playing in the offseason? No Garrett Cole. No Roger.

no rerun, no rent. It's not looking good for Los Yankees. Derek Cole out for the season. Maybe they should shut shaving again. Their best slugger, the only guy that really stepped up last year in the postseason, Stanton out, at least for now, I don't know how they're going to do it unless they make a significant movement. They got no one at third base.

They got nobody at third base. You're banking on DJ LaMayhew and his hurt tutsies? Well, if it makes you feel any better, Juan Soto has five home runs. in spring training and he's batting like 400. Oh, and Clay Holmes is starting on opening days. That's the reason I bring it up. When you got teams that are so Uber stacked nowadays and a very competitive AL East, obviously, right?

Those are good teams in the ALE East. But you got the Dodgers, you got the Phillies, you got the Mets. The Mets really have a golden opportunity to seize this moment, not only because you have Monsono, but because all of these stars on the Yankees don't look like they're going to be able to step up.

So as a fan for the first time where I'm actually really usually anticipating the star, I'm like, man, they're doomed. Listen, man, unless something happens. The Yankees, Dodgers, there's teams that always have high hopes every year. But when you are riddled with injuries, no matter what sport it is, you've got to just keep in mind so many teams make the playoffs now. And baseball has caught up not necessarily to the level of the NBA or the NHL where under 500 teams make the playoffs.

but, dude, it's March, what is it, March 18th? It is, but Garrick Cole's not coming back, dude. He's got Tommy John. He's got the surgery. So it's not like, oh, well, you get him in the postseason. You put the emphasis on Tommy, huh? Tommy, yes. You like that?

Hey, as the owner, were you feeling that too? As the owner of his working card, John, you got the Tommy John. The Tommy John. Yeah, that sounds like he's got appendicitis. He's got Tommy John. Tommy John. Yeah. You know, I'm not as.

optimistic radio head style as I usually am. That's great, but you just blew my mind that we all say Elton John, but we say Tommy, Tommy John. Two people with a John last name, but we've decided the emphasis. Yes, we have. We've determined that somehow. Elton John, but it's Tommy John. Tommy John. Tommy John, sir.

Interesting. Anyway, I think we need a timeout to go to Dan Byer. It annoys me when people call them the Green Bay Packers. Because we would go Green Bay. I don't like the wrong emphasis. The Saints. Where are they from? Are you New Orleans guy or New Orleans?

Well, I was New Orleans until I was told. It is not New Orleans. No one says Louisville better than Dan Byron. Louisville. Yeah. I told that it was eight Ls. He's the league leader. Your pal Moncee Bologna, so I love when she says, Timberwolves.

That's my favorite. That or Cardinals. The Louisville Cardinals. That's a me and Monci. combo there. I do have some news from college basketball. ESPN is reporting that Indiana is targeted West Virginia as Darien DeVries to be their next men's basketball coach. Now, earlier in the day, ESPN reported that DeVries was not going to be a candidate at Iowa as they are looking to replace Fran McCaffrey, but something to watch here. Nothing official. West Virginia

obviously left out of the field of 68 could be to Indiana's benefit as ESP. reports that that's who Indiana's target is.

Tokyo 4 to 1 back to you know thank you DB now I know it's not going to be in the major league baseball season they sampled it in spring training and you're seeing it now. The quick challenge for the strike, you do a little tap on the helmet. I don't hate it, much like a lot of these changes. What are they limited to a couple per game, right? Yeah.

I liked it. Jazz Chisholm just did the most baller move, and it worked out because it could have made them look like an ass. It was a full count. And low outside, tight pitch. Umpire rung them up. Like, yeah! And Chaz Chisham, Jazz Chisham, Jazz Chisham.

jazz chisholm. Keith Hernandez always says it wrong to. Not only does he tap his helmet, throws his bat in the on-deck circle, takes off his pads, runs to first base. Like he's so certain, and it was, ball four. Wow. But he could have looked like an ass clown,

but, yo, he knew he has the eye. He's like, no, that's not strike three. So tap, tap, tap, without hesitation, run to first base. Well, I am excited about baseball, just not excited about the Yankees. Excited just to be talking about it. Congrats to the Dodgers.

And, you know, there is a question. What if they lost today? Rich had a bone to pick with some of the Dodgers fans here in the studio. Yeah. All you front running. Not really. They live in L.A., but all you Dodgers fans from Danny to Big Mike who runs this place. Who?

Birch. Mike. Mike right now. Oh, Bursh. Yeah. Ben Mallor. Yeah. So I want to ask a question about all the.

Dodgers fans here next as baseball begins. Fox Sports Radio, Kavino and Rich. Baseball. Hey, it's us, the Jonas Brothers, and guess what? We have some big news. What's the news, name? Huge news. We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

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

I think it was a lot of it. 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,

for 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.

Rich is saying he's got a problem. I do have one question, and it's a yes or no, and then I could tell you my problem. You brought up Tracy Morgan and Astronaut Jones. Those two astronauts that were just saved, Do you think at any point they were like so lonely that they were like You want to have space love him She looks like she aged 10 years on the one trip

I know so you think she's like I look like amazing quickly I might as well try to make love to this man Do you think this happened at all or no nothing? No Can you take your space suit off and do that? I mean how do you bathe have a sports related space question Did you see that clip of the dude that throws himself a pitch hits it and then catches it. Are you talking about a Bugs Bunny cartoon?

No. But, you know, with the gravity of outer space. You haven't seen that? No, I've never seen that. It's so cool because I would want to do that if I was floating around in space. I love Dan Byer throw in his headphones. So clearly he has some outer space insight. Yeah, let's talk about space love here.

No, the thing that I was going to say is that thing is there's cameras everywhere. They're being watched. So that would be, I think, the tricky part. Yeah. Except if you were, I guess, to relieve yourself. I don't know what they have for a bathroom. I mean, only fans in outer space, think of the money, the profits. Be a little awkward taking off your space pants in front of all those people.

But they're not in the spacewalk outfit the whole time. They're there like in like a polo shirt. So they're not like, they're not geared up for 255 straight days. I'm just saying if people get, you know, people get all riled up after two weeks on a reality dating show, imagine nine months you and one other person they must start to look good no matter who they are that's all I'm saying so space love here on Kevin Own Richie

They have vacuum toilets with a funnel for urination and a seat for number two. It's like the perverted Bugs Bunny thought. Remember when the guys were stranded on the island the fat guy looked like a hamburger and then the skinny guy looked like a hot dog because they were on the island for so long. Yeah they were so hungry

they wanted roast rabbit. If you're trapped in space even with the most average looking person after a while they might start looking pretty good. That's Rich's thought here. I love my women looking like Broom Hilda. Yeah. All right.

So, I'm sorry. Let's go back to my Dodger thought. Let's do it. I walk into work today. Danny G's got his Dodgers hat on. Big Mike who runs his place. Who? You know, the guy that runs I heart and Premier Radio Networks combined.

I think you got a raise, isn't he, and a promotion? It doesn't he run everything there? And he runs Pond Stars. He runs Premier Networks as well. Yeah. So Big Mike, Danny G. and our pal Bersh, editor Supreme, and I'm sure a bow as well,

everyone is wearing their Dodgers gear. It's opening day. But I ask you this, since the game was on at 3 a.m., had the Dodgers lost, would you have wore your Dodgers gear? 100%. It's still opening day. Even after an L. It's just one game. So who cares if you lose the first game? It's not a big deal.

I think as a fan, you have to rock your gear on opening day. That's a fair thought. I'm just saying, like, for instance, Regardless. Call me a man with no huevos. But when the 49ers lose a tough. I mean, we do behind your back all the time. Every time I leave the studio and Dan Beyer comes in here, is that what you guys say? Mm-hmm.

Okay. There he goes. The man with no waves. If the Niners lose a close game on Sunday, I'm not wearing a 49ers t-shirt or a hoodie. Why? Does it affect your fandom, the one game? That Monday. Right.

And isn't that when the team needs their supporters the most? then you know maybe I just suck Yeah we tell you that all the time When we talk about Fairweather fandom We've fought about this so many times So a real fan is a fan No matter what win or lose I know but still opening day

That's what you're celebrating Take the temperature of the room Meaning like if If the Mets get eliminated In like game six against the Dodgers I'm not wearing my Mets jersey that next day It's run its course Great season but I'm not rocking it the day after an L

My thought is you go to the gym, you walk, going around town. If you're wearing a losing jersey, I just feel like you give it a day rest. If you're a guy that wears a lot of sports gear. So it is an interesting question that only pertains to this particular moment because they played at 3 a.m. So by the time you woke up, you did have a decision. Yeah, everyone else next week when it's really opening day could wake up, you know, put on their jeans and their Jordans and put on their baseball shirt. Yeah, you don't know what's going to happen. But you knew what happened.

But, of course, the Dodgers win, so I know. But it had the Dodgers loss. Would Big Mike have been like, I'm going to wear my salmon button down instead? He said, no, actually. He said even more reason. Win or lose? You've got to support your team. Plus, you're representing the fact that they're defending champions.

Your thoughts, your feedback will take it next at Kavino and Rich. At 877-99 on Fox plus Shaq Diesel trivia coming up. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what?

But we created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We get to ask other people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick.
