Honestly, so far, a great time in New Orleans.

Bumping into a lot of old colleagues and friends. When you say old, you mean like they're like 105 years old now. Hey, what are you youngsters? Everybody got so old except for us. I'm not sure how. You know, not to date ourselves, but we've been doing this for a minute, and it's interesting because wherever you work, you know, you don't see those people much anymore. But the Super Bowl is one of those times where Sirius XM, ESPN, NBC, Fox Sports, like everyone's in the same place. So it's almost like a reunion.

It's a reunion. And, again, a lot of people in the media world and sports world that you haven't seen in about a year. So you're like, hey, looking good. Some people, hey, not so good. But you don't say that, though. But you don't say that, you think it, and you talk about them behind their back. That's how it goes. Of course, especially when you hang with Rich, the biggest hobnobber in the land.

Now, we have lots to get to today. Action Pack Show. We're joined by golfer turned influencer, Paige Sparanic. She's quite the looker, if you don't know. And most people do. She has over 11 million followers across all social media platforms. Oh, I know. So Paige Spirannic will be here.

Kurt Schilling as a Yankees fan. It hurts my feelings. Yeah, but you know what? I'm such a baseball fan that I put all that aside. I'm just intrigued to talk to the guy. A true champion, a true legend in the game, one of the greatest pitchers of our time. Kurt Schilling will be here.

A polarizing guy, though. A polarizing guy. So let's chop it up with chilling. Exactly. So we'll be hanging out with him. And, of course, you never know who's going to stop by Radio Row. It's always a pleasure to be here. We had a fun time yesterday.

Super Bowl Week is all about the events and all about the boozing and schmoozing with your bosses and your friends. And again, like you said, it's a reunion. Yeah. And last night was something called opening night. And they do that every year. And that's basically like a big media night at the stadium. Caesar's Superdome. We went there.

We represented. And we took some social observations. We took some notes for you guys. First off, stadium large. It really was. It was massive. You walk in there, I can't tell you the amount of excitement you feel, you know, when you walk in and you're like, remember in the bad news bears when the little kids were at the Astrodome? And they're like, oh, my God, we're in the Astrodome.

Honestly, I still feel that way as an adult because if you told any of us as kids, you'd be on the field someday. Hey, you're not playing, but you're still going to get a chance to be on the field and take it all in. I would have been like, no way. and it's just such a thrill, guys. I've got to tell you, I'm living that thrill on your behalf, and I don't take it for granted. A lot of fun to be on the field. If you want to see some fun videos of us on the field last night,

at Covian On Rich, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, where we posted a bunch of stuff. Now, I don't think it's possible that this dome is way bigger. But truthfully, we've been to a lot of stadiums, arenas, and domes, and for some reason, you look up at that ceiling of the Superdome. It felt way bigger than Danny. Last year we were in Vegas for your Raiders, Niners' Chiefs,

and it felt a little cozier. Because some of the new arenas and new stadiums in sports, they're going the intimate route where they're shrinking it down a little bit, and this felt like kind of old school, a bigger stadium. The Superdome was bigger than Rich's dome, and that's saying a lot because he has the biggest dome in the land. So we're on the field, why? Because, again, it's a media night.

Basically little mini press conferences for all the players, in the game. So each little player has a little booth and everyone's going up to them like their scoops Callahan with their little microphone like hey Jalen Hertz tell me are you ready for the game on Sunday and you're just seeing all the question answer stuff I'm sure you've seen the highlights on social media or on TV already but that's where we were representing just taking it all in. I just like to observe those moments I don't want to be like Trump's Kelsey Chelsea but but people do and I think two of the takeaways did you see this clown and I got to give them props for the courage.

I'm just not that rude. You see the guy that went up to Patrick Mahomes? He's like, Patrick, who's your favorite ref? Yeah. Which refs do you say to Christmas cards, too? And I was like, young. He tortured Travis Kelsey as well. I mean, that guy was a bit rough.

I did see someone approach Mahomes with a pillow to autograph. Did you see that? And he was like, oh, yeah, all right. I'll sign it. And then they're like, turn it around. And you turn the pillow around. It was him with his dad behind. And Patrick Holmes is like, it was actually a funny comment.

He's like, I just want to know what side of the pillow you sleep on. You know, so it was kind of funny. But yeah, there was a lot of funny antics out there, a lot of funny questions. James Winston. Yeah, but all the superstars were out there. All the superstars were out there last night. And it is cool to see them and to see their excitement, too. You know, sometimes we forget that they're young men out there.

So they're just riding on nerves and energy and excitement just like anyone would be. They're young men just excited about playing in the Super Bowl. And think about it, there are a lot of NFL players that their season ended like months ago. Like it was a long, long time ago. Then there's teams that are eliminated the last couple weeks. But you know what it's like, Kavino, when we were watching the baseball playoffs, you get into like the end of October and you realize some other guys have been off for like months. When was the last time he felt like you were caring about your Raiders, Stan?

like a long time ago now. There's teams that are, you know... Well, except for Pete Carroll and the coaching staff, huh? Yeah, so it's crazy to think that these guys are still preparing for the biggest game of their lives in a few days. And you do look at their faces like, yo, what are they thinking? Do they got some nerves right now? The veterans, like, is this just old hat for Patrick Mahomes? And I can't state this enough.

I mean, you see it after the game, the press conferences and everything. But I really think it's an understated, underrated. overwhelming part of their life. They have a game to focus on. They have to practice. They have to mentally prepare. But part of that is dealing with so much press. Honestly, I think that we do take that for granted. And I think we undermine how much of their job has to do with dealing with question and answer and that sort of thing.

That must be so mentally draining. Honestly, I would tell my superstars, like, if you want to dip out, just dip out. But I know that's part of the game. They can. I know they're obligated. It's part of the game, but it's a draining, draining part of the game. If you are the likes of Mahomes, Jalen Hertz, Travis Kelsey especially. I know.

People want to talk about. If you're an A-lister like that, not just sports, like you're just a popular figure. Travis Kelsey has to go into that mentally prepared. Like, all right, I don't want to say anything stupid. I can't say something inappropriate about Taylor Swift or if I seem too confident, then they'll be like, oh, Kelsey's not focused on. the Super Bowl. Like, he is probably in the toughest spot of anyone, right?

Training. It really is. But again, so exciting. And for us. We did learn that Travis Kelsey loves that Taylor Swift makes homemade pop-tarts. He said she can bake her ass off. Yeah. And I imagine that's going to be the next viral craze, how to make your own pop-tarts because

Taylor Swift does it. Speaking of her, how about your boy, Dallas Goddard, saying that his favorite Taylor Swift song was Waterfalls? Did he say that? Yeah, they're like, you mean TLC? Yeah. I kind of think he was doing it on purpose, but on NFL network, they were roasting his music knowledge. Wow, that's funny.

Waterfalls. Either that or it's really good sneakness. Yeah, exactly. Like, I don't really know. I don't even know. Beats me. But here's one other thing that we took away from this event. Again, huge event.

Everybody was there. For us, we're just walking around, taking it all in, feeling the excitement. Except for Spot. you're bearing the lead. Well, that's exactly what I'm getting at. So we roll up, and security here is next level for the Super Bowl, right? We got all these IDs and letters and badges and codes. Yeah, exactly.

We got all these badges and codes. So we pull up to the stadium for opening night, and it checks and scans our IDs, and our picture pops up and like, yep, that's you, Mr. Kavino. Come on in. We get in, and our buddy spot didn't have access. For whatever reason, he didn't have the proper letter on his, ID that allowed him access to opening night. And it was a mistake.

It's not that spot's not cool enough or whatever. You know, we all thought we were getting in for whatever reason he didn't have that letter. I'm going to go with that. I don't think he's cool, them. I mean, I'd like to say that and think that too. But because it was work related, we're like, eh, we got to go in there just so we could paint the picture and have something to talk about.

We don't know what we might miss if we don't go. So we're like, hey, hey, spot, we're only going in there for an hour or two. up with you later for dinner. Sorry about that. And he was very cool. Like, of course, let down, but like, guys, go in, have a good time. The reminder here, though, is... The charter bus back. I heard he tore up the seats.

Oh, he was freaking out. He was probably mad about it. He's probably breaking things like Paul O'Neill. So, the moral of the story is, how many times in your real life, though, do you pull up at a club or a restaurant or just an event where they don't allow you in because

you don't have sneakers on? Or you're not where, you're not wearing the jacket or they don't like your face or somebody in your party forgot their ID. I think it should be industry standard. Or you're overweight like me and Luca. Oh, you're overweight. Sorry. Yeah, they're not allowed in. Whatever the reason may be.

I think it should be automatic, should be hydromatic that the whole party says, well, then if you don't want him in, then we're all not coming in. I have an exception. Okay. Let's hear it. Because there's so many times I've heard of people still going in that place and that one person left not able to get inside. If you're rolling with a crew,

your boys, or maybe even a couple couples, you know, if you're going somewhere, it's all or nothing. We're all going or no one with two exceptions. And I've had this firm rule my whole life, so pay attention. Let's hear it. I'm right to them. And listen closely. If it's an

ass pursuit, no rules apply. If we go to a club and you're a single guy. There's a hottie inside. I gotta go inside. A true friend would understand. Like, if we were all in our 20s and let's say Danny G's like yeah there's a girl I'm meeting at this club and let's say Kavino couldn't get in then you go meet that girl I think I think there's an exception you could bail if it's because of love and if one of your friends is a moron it's like I forgot my ID that's sort of on him

I think you say I was I think you're going to say the next one would be a work-related thing like because that was a work-related event we kind of had to go and at least show face and see what it was all about. Yeah, we didn't even stay for the chiefs. They were coming out onto the field right when we were leaving. We stayed there for about an hour and a half. We did two laps around the stadium. Honestly, that was enough.

It was a great time. Lots of excitement. And again, we wanted to meet up with our buddy spot, who was out at dinner anyway. Rich housed a piece of chicken in like five seconds. Right, yeah. We got some free food and drinks because they were offering. But the reminder here is... It was like food for the homeless, by the way.

There's like two... reasons as to why you could ever disson anyone in your party. Potential love interest and I think work-related. If someone forgot their ID, that happens. There's other places down the block that I'm sure would let that person in. If your buddy looks like he's 50-something. No, but I'm saying rewind. Someone's going to be a stickler because he doesn't have his ID.

You're a grown man now so you don't care. But rewind and put yourself in 25-year-old Kavino mindset. Okay. I mean, it's not that hard. I'm a grown man boy. That is true. You act like you're 20. Go ahead.

Picture yourself going to a, you know, a bar, restaurant, club back in your day, and one of your idiotic friends is like, oh, if we're growing my wallet, you're going to turn around because he's an ass clown? I think that's an exception. I think it's... Here's why I'm adamant about it. And here's why it rubs me the wrong way. And I'm not a guy that ditches my friends.

I just think that when it's so on them. I have a younger brother, right? And my daughter's in her teens. she'll be at that age range before you know it where she's out and about with her friends it rubs me such the wrong way when someone isn't allowed into the club for whatever reason and their friends dissed them there friends if you're a real friend you don't leave your other friend behind because they forgot ID because they wore the wrong shoes you say screw that place then and you take your business somewhere else I'm a firm believer on that minus the two exceptions

that we gave you okay and the The moral of the story is, Spot wasn't allowed in, so we went in quickly and came back out. But it was a great time, lots of great energy. And my other observation... Did you feel guilty at all really quick? For a minute. You know, when it first happened... Spot, I felt more guilty than they did.

Once they got in there running around like Disneyland and I was still at the entrance like, no, I'm waiting for Spot. Yeah, you feel bad when your buddy got denied like that, right? And I think you should. But my other two observations were this. the growth of beautiful women, female sportscasters. Yeah. We've noticed that the past 10 plus years.

Yeah. That's still a thing. Knowledgeable yet beautiful women in sports. That's such a thing. No doubt. And it seemed to be, again, it's early in the week, more Eagles fans than Chiefs fans at the stadium last night. And that's just, again, first event.

It's only Monday. There's a reasonable explanation for that. I know some Chiefs fans that use their pass, meaning, you know, if my team ever makes it to the Super Bowl, I don't care what the price is. Those people went a couple years ago. Okay. I think, like, if you would have, like, right now, one of the storylines is that ticket prices are tumbling. Like, last year, the average ticket price was, like, almost 10 grand. Now it's like five grand, which is still exactly.

absorbing it. But wouldn't you say more of the reason would be Chiefs being like, yeah, I've gone the past three years. I might not be able to go to this one. Listen, I have a buddy who's a Patriots fan. Two years, yeah. He's like, I went to the first couple, and then I was like, I'll watch the others on TV.

If you're that lucky of a fan, I get it. But if you told me that this Super Bowl was Bill's Lions, ticket prices would be $10,000, $15,000. So it's really just a matter of, you're talking about two franchises that have both won Super Bowls in the last decade. If both teams have won a Super Bowl in the last decade, I think we're good.

And when you looked at you. Can I give you another option? Yeah, good. Again, lots of Eagles fans there, lots of fun. Fans were allowed at the stadium. Media was allowed on the field to interview the players. You look around and you see a lot of little kids in the stands, right? Chearing on their favorite players, just happy to be there.

When you see all these big NFL events, isn't it shocking to you that no one ever took you as a kid? I mean, were these things not available? I mean, there was never a Super Bowl. Not even a friend, like a friend's parent was like, hey, why don't you ask Steve to come? Our parents didn't take us anywhere back then. What is to deal with that? I'm like, look at all these spoiled-nosed-picking kids.

I didn't probably tell you was close. Seriously. But there was never a Super Bowl in Jersey where you grew up. Still, dude. You think all these kids are from the local area? Get out of here. But I do think that. All these NFL events, I often wonder about that.

So anyway, well, hey, that was last night. A fun opening night, and we're only going to have more stories, more guests. In fact, we're going to talk a lot of NFL today, reminisce a little bit, but coming up next, a baseball legend. A guy, I can't wait to talk to because this guy is always controversial. I bet you he's gigantic in person. He's a big dude. This guy should be in the Hall of Fame. Talking about Mr. Kurt Schilling joins us next right here on the Kavino and Rich Show.

We're starting a trend. 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 was... 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.

It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano and our podcast Point Game is about defying the odds. Like LeBron heading into the playoffs without Luca and Austin Reed. And finding ways to win

no matter what. He's the smartest player to ever play the game. His IQ is at a level that we've never seen before. And he knows. Without Luca and Austin Reeves, I got to manipulate the game. We get a player's perspective on the challenges of the playoffs. I think Joker's going to be exhausted this series because when they don't have Rudy in the lineup,

he has to really guard guys like Nas Reid. He has to guard Julius Randall. And then he has to give us everything he gives us on the night-to-night basis on offense. And when IT's friends stop by, like Quentin Richardson, we dive into some playoff history too. Steve Nass would get that thing. That man, hell got got. the flying he running up the court licking his fingers why he got the ball like after you go through a training camp with that i zahad you figure it out real quick get your ass up and down the court and you're going to get the ball so listen to point game on the iHeart radio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts it's cavino and rich on fox sports radio live from super bowl media

Pressure with you next to me. Quality Reed. Thank you. Thank you. Now, I want to boo this guy as a Yankees fan, but he's such a baseball legend that I can't. Let's welcome three times. No, no, oh, I have, but not here. Yeah, not in real life. And that doesn't bother me because you never beat me when it matters. I know. And you're such a big fella, I would never even go there. Let's welcome three-time World Series champion. Kurt Schilling. By the way, a guy that has been part of so many big moments. Yeah. And that's what I say. people talking about my career. I've been blessed.

You know, the 93 World Series sucked. Joe Carter walked us off, but everybody remembers it. Yeah. 01, 9-11, Yankees, unbelievable. 0-4, you know, so I was in three of the most memorable postseason moments in the top 10. Couldn't you let New York have the 0-1-1-0? No. Come on, dude. And it was funny because it happened.

No. As an Arizona fan, it happened perfectly. We beat the, we win the first two. We go to New York in three games that energized that city at a time. when everybody was looking for it. And then we come home and we beat the hell out of Pettit. And then game seven, we walked Mariano off. You know what, man, you're right.

Every one of those so memorable, that really is interesting. Now, again, he played nine seasons with the Phillies. So I got to ask you again, the Eagles are here. They're representing. The fans are out. Are Philadelphia fans misunderstood or are they the best? No, everybody knows what they are. Really?

They're not misunderstood. They are who they are. They'll punch you in the face. They are, they're family to me. They were, I mean, I spent nine years there and probably wasn't booed as often as I should have been, but my God, 93, we had a parade in Philadelphia losing the World Series.

One of the most beloved teams that ever play in Philadelphia. There was a connection there. And like Yankee fans, Philly fans don't boo players that suck. They don't care about you. Right, right. They don't acknowledge you. It's like the worst as an athlete.

Like, they don't even know I'm here. Nothing worse. It's like when a woman is like apathet. Right, right, right. Apathy is the worst thing in a lot of ways, and that's one of them. But they are smart as hell when they're sober. And like Yankee fans, they, you know, people after I've retired and said, you know, things to me. And they're like, oh, you know, I hope I didn't offend you.

I'm like, dude, nine years in Philly, five in Boston. And like, I was the Red Sox in the Yankee Stadium. So I've heard things you can't even fathom. So in a way, they. prepared you for all these big moments, right? Because you were sort of numbed everything. I loved, I loved playing in the Yankee Stadium. I loved to shut them up.

Oh, they hated me. Exactly. And I was telling somebody earlier, I had my favorite, you know, given tip. Like, the Yankee fans wouldn't go, oh, your mother's a whore. They would go, dude, you got a 70RA in May. You suck. Right, right. Like, they were statistically perfect.

They hit you where it really hurts. They hit, damn it. Yeah, they offended me. Right? And, and, but, but, and you know, go back to, oh, four, I, you know, I come out and saying, I can't think of anything better than making 55,000 people from New York shut up. Well, now I go out game one, get my butt handed to me, and they were anything but quiet. And I deserved it.

But then I come back six days later, and we worked them over a little bit. And, but they were, since I retired, I have not had a larger group of people reach out to me and say, I hated you like a mofo when you played. But man, I respect the hell out of you. And it was a fan base whose respect was a big deal. Oh, yeah. Absolutely, man.

That's exactly how I feel talking to you, man, because you're so much a part of all my baseball memories as a fan. They were the barrier, though, right? I mean, O-1 was magical, but it was also the Yankees. In O-4, the World Series was Red Sox Yankees. It wasn't Red Sox Cardinals, right? That was a sweep, right? You swept in the world series.

That was like that. And I'll tell you the magical story behind us winning eight in a row if you ask for it. But we won out and we swept the Cardinals who were an unbelievable team, no disrespect. But the win was the Red was the Yankees. That comeback documentary on Netflix, did you watch it? Accurate? Because I felt that there was some really, that was a really. Yes.

In a sense. Like there's a lot of guys misremembering how much they, how important they were, things that they said or did. But for the most part, it was spot on. Do you enjoy them looking back, though, at all the highlights? Do you enjoy watching those? It's hard to explain to people that have never been in a locker room. That's family. During the baseball season, you spend more time with your teammates than you do your family.

You become close with these people. And so that's why when we get together after 20 years, it's like we were in the same room yesterday. And of all the teams, I played 22 years of professional baseball. I have thousands of teammates. So there's 24 hours in a day. You kind of pick who you're going to still talk to or whatever. Doug Mirabelli is someone I talk to daily, weekly, whatever. It's not a lot, but once you're in the room, it's a hug and oh my God, it's great to see you.

And that's why when they, you know, Dave McCarty passed recently. And he called me from the reunion on the field and was like, dude, this is you should be here, blah, blah, this is great. And then, you know, I go to his funeral. And unfortunately, at this phase of life, you guys will someday understand the phone ringing is not always a good thing. Oh, yeah. You know, it's hard. Scared the looks. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Looking back at 04, Kurt Chillinghangwood, Kavino Rich, how happy were you that the sock was bloody? It just added to the story. If you go back and look at everything around that, you're not going to find quotes from me. I didn't talk about it. It was the media made it a sensational thing, and that's fine. But I wasn't there talking about my ankle and my bloody sock

and all the things that went with that. It's just the irony behind. I played for the red socks, and my sock was red. And the camera zoomed. Right, and that's why the priority for Game 2 of the World Series wasn't the sock. I wrote on my shoe strikeout ALS because I had realized what an unbelievable thing that was, like the attention that was drawn to it. The only thing, and we were talking about this earlier,

the only thing I remember about Game 6 was two things. One was my foot was bleeding so bad that the sock on the bottom was wet like when you walk in water. That's the worst feeling ever. It's the worst feeling ever. Sogy sock. But that's one way to ruin your day. I threw it away. I threw the sock away.

Like I took it off after the... I wouldn't think it about, oh my God, my sock's bloody. I was like, dude, I just... Historical sock. Right, but yeah, and I'm not thinking like that. So I threw it on the ground, and somebody earlier was asking about the original one, and I said, if it's out there and somebody has it,

it's one of the clubhouse guys from New York because I just threw it on the ground, not thinking twice about it. Wow. Now, when you look back at that 0-4 season, when you're down 3-0, I know the right thing to say is like, we're not out of it yet, But was there, like, you really felt. There was a seminal moment, and I always tell this story when I talk about Terry Francona.

So we had closed circuit television in the clubhouse. So in Boston, there was a media room upstairs, and whoever was being interviewed, we could see it downstairs. And I was standing downstairs, and the first question out of one of the butt clowns in the media was, you know, what are you going to do tomorrow? And Tito's like, what do you mean? He goes, well, what are you going to do? And he goes, we're going to show up and play our asses off. what else would we do? Yeah.

And it clicked immediately. I'm watching this thinking, well, that's it. We don't have to beat them four in a row. We don't have to beat them tomorrow. We have to beat them in the top of the first inning. And so we had a team meeting, and I said, this is not about one in four games. This is about, if you make an out, make an out that you win. You got 12 pitch at bat.

Every at bat is a pitch or win. And for eight days, we didn't get beat. And it was, it's what happens when 25 supremely talented people are hyper-examined. focused and the story I was going to tell you earlier. Please tell us. I would hear it eight. So, uh, oh, in 2001, we're with the dimebacks. We're in the World Series. My wife makes purple scarves for all the wives.

They're a little bonding thing. Flash forward to 2004, my wife makes these scarves for the wives. Fast forward to 19,000 to two game three loss. We're down 3-0. Johnny Damon's girlfriend, Michelle, walks into the wives on her, my wife, weren't friends. And she throws the scarf on my wife's lap. And she goes, nice effing job these scarves did.

To which my wife stands up and says, well, maybe if you wore it, your husband wouldn't be 0 for 20. Fist. They had to be broken up. No way, dude. I get it. So we just lost by 17 runs. I hop in the car. And that's the story I hear from my wife.

I'm like, oh, my God. Johnny and I walk into the clubhouse the next day. We see each other like, and we just bust out laughing. Oh, my God. We didn't lose a game. And so, like, that I was like, that's the end. That's why. Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's so cool, dude. Here with Kurt Schilling, Kavino and Rich. Can I talk about Dave Roberts, too? Please. He was a major turning point of the series. Did you view him back then as a guy that could be a leader of a clubhouse? Oh, absolutely. As a manager, you know, as a manager with the Dodgers.

Let's back up to the stolen base. Yeah. One of the things that I had a one moment in my career like this, but when you're going to do something and your opponent knows it and everybody in the world knows it and you still do it that's true that that's that's not talked about enough every human everybody and he went in the game for one reason and everybody thought that was their turning point of the series until we found that about the fight well well right

exactly right exactly well i and i said i had so 2002 i'm at the all-star game and the day before the all-star game i'm starting and i walked up to alex Rodriguez, the American League's taking BP, and I said, hey, listen, dude, if you come up tomorrow with nobody on, I'm throwing you nothing but fastballs. He's like, what? I'm like, I want to see if I can get the best hitter in the world out when he knows what's coming. He's like, okay, I had a mic on, and I was for Fox, actually, and he comes up, nobody on. Yeah. First pitch, 97, paint away, black heat, and he took it, and I think he was thinking, is he lying? Right, right, yeah, now you're in his head a little bit. Right, right. Next pitch, 98,

black inside corner, untouchable. Next pitch, 99 away, three pitches, sit down. I was like, I was feeling pretty sexy. How did you not? We were always throwing heat like that, even when you were a little kid? No, no, no, no, no. That's just something you developed as you got older? It came, honestly, after I got hurt.

I had solo surgery in 95, and I had laboral surgery, and I kind of got religion about my arm after that. My doctor at the time kind of showed me a cadaver, an autopsy, He showed me the inside of his shoulder. I understood how everything worked. So I became hyper-focused on medicine in the sense that you play 162 games in 18 18. You're sore every day. I don't feel like I'm 18.

You never feel like you're 18 the day after you're 18 forever. But there's aches and pains. Excuse me. And there's a difference between being sore and being injured. Yep. And so I always knew when I was sore, why I was sore, where I was sore, what I had to do. And so I got religion. And I came back.

The first start I made coming off of my laboral surgery, everybody was like, oh my god i went seven innings punched out 10 gave up two hits and i was throwing 96 i was a 92 93 guy before and everybody was like oh my god and then it just kind of took off everything clicked i'm i'm coached my kids in little league yeah at what age do you feel like you know that someone's my dad told me when i was 13 yeah he said you're going to get a chance to play some and i'm like okay dude everybody's dad right whatever you didn't believe and he never pushed me to to play baseball but he pushed me to play the game hard and play the game right and you know One of the things I would tell you is until a kid, until a boy's hands stop growing, you have no idea what they can do.

Hands are at like, not exactly right. You got a little hands. Your breaking ball at nine was your breaking ball today. Right, yeah. And I tried to explain that's one of the most important measurements on the kid is hands type because of what I can do and not do with the baseball. Got to tell us this. We know when you're in the game, you're in the zone. You told us that A-Rod story just now.

What are the days before like, the night before like, especially in a World Series game, you know. you got to win. In 2001, so I had a sports psychologist, and I'm not lying about this, the night before, I would always do a pre-game pre-night session, and he would, not hypnotized, but he would talk me through. The night before game seven of the 2001 World Series, I fell asleep on the phone and woke up with the phone next to me. I was so relaxed. Wow. Is that a normal thing? Well, because what was happening that day was no different than what happened from the first day. I prepared every game from the first day of spring training like it was the game seven of the World Series. So nothing on the day I pitched was different except the game. Do you credit that?

Because you were famously, what, 11 and 2 in the postseason or something like that? So you just never really changed anything. Well, I stepped up. I became somebody else in October. So then I got to ask, you hear people say things like, this guy wants it more, this team is motivated. Is that it? I always say that's BS. No, no, no, no, it is BS. Because everyone wants it. Well, everybody wants it. some people don't know how to get it. Like, I always looked at October. I knew my first start in the postseason, and I struck out the first five guys I faced.

And no one had ever done that before. And I was like, yeah, I'm feeling sick. Kurt, it's sort of a damn shame. The Hall of Fame nonsense. I love it. Your politics, your vibe, do people just hold it against you? Is it nonsense or what?

They've said it, right? But the game owes me nothing. The game owes me absolutely nothing. And one of the reason I'm getting back into the game, as a coach. Hopefully, I want to teach pitching and coach or do color, you know, I would love to do like a Manning broadcast on a baseball game because there's some more downtime in baseball than anything. No doubt. And I have stories for years. And you need personality. And you need that. Right. People don't want to hear me talk about Otani's batting average.

They know that. Right. Hey, what are they talking about on the mound right now? And I'm like, 90% of those conversations were about the really hot blonde sitting behind on plate. I love that. It had nothing to do with the game. it was the pitching coach trying to calm me down. And so those are the kind of things that I feel like. I know pitching as well as anybody's ever lived. And I can teach it and I can talk it. And so I kind of want to back into that.

But the whole, you know, the political thing and the Hall of Fame thing, my life's complete. I won't be more of a person if I suddenly have a plaque in Cooperstown. What that will do for me is call out all the people who got me there. And it's a chance to recognize I was raised by. an amazing man. My father died eight months before I made my big league debut. But I left the ticket every game I started in the big leagues in his name. So there was always an empty seat in the ballpark. And I ended up getting the home seat from the vet that I allocated for him after the vet

depended. No way. That's awesome. Yep. Yep. But so the game owes me nothing. And if it happens, it's a way for me to make sure. But my biggest, if I had a problem with it, are the people that have died since I retired who should be here and should have been here for me to talk about. what they meant to me. Right. So it's shouting out your teammates, your family. Your family. But for the fans and just as baseball fans, man, you belong there.

I appreciate that. 2016 wins, 3,116 strikeouts, six-time All-Star, three-time champion, a guy that did it all, man. So, yeah, we'll see you there, man. Kurt, we can talk to you all day, dude. I feel like we can talk for two hours. I'm a big baseball guy. Story.

You know what? Let's do it again, man. Let's do it again. By the right, real quick, I know you've got to tell us about what's doing here in New Orleans, but I'm a big Mets fan. Pete Alonzo sticking around, you think? I don't... That's gone weird on me. It's a weird one, right?

It's gone weird on me, and apparently the Blue Jays are out. But it's gone weird on me. I don't see any other... Would he look like a chump going back to the Mets now? No, no, first of all, no. Right, I mean, still $70 million. But so what? He's not going to look like a chump going anywhere. His agent made a bet and was wrong.

Yeah. And that's what you... I didn't have an agent for the last 11 years of my career. I did all my own stuff. I had total no trade clauses and all the things because I knew what my value was. It's in the paper. What everybody's making is right there.

I know, hey, I'm better than him. I should make more than it. I mean, that was easy stuff, but you have to have confidence to sit in a room with people like that. And I want him to go back to New York. I mean, I don't know that he's get him over the hump guy, but he's clearly a fan favorite.

He hits the ball with a lot of force. And having a 40 home run guy, but they're not as rare as they used to be. Because everybody's home running or striking out 200 times, which is the game has changed dramatically that way. And that's not, I don't think that's for the better. No doubt. Kurt, what are you doing here in New Orleans?

So, 25 years ago, the World War II Museum was founded. I was on the original board of directors. Nice. All right. And a lot of people don't know why it was built in New Orleans. You've seen Saving Private Ryan. Of course. Opening scene of saving Private Ryan when they're riding into the beach.

They're riding on Higgins boats, which were built in New Orleans. and that was a transcendental and amazingly important thing for the war effort. I was on the board director half my collection resides in the museum and I would tell you that it is a true bucket list thing to go over there. I met a hundred-year-old vet yesterday. There's only 66,000 left out of the 16 and a half million.

And they are preserving the oral history of that generation, which has to happen. We have to be able to pass that along to future generations because for all the warts this country has had and you know you can find anybody willing to bring them up the fact of the matter is we are a direct result of good and bad and this was the greatest generation and we need to remember them respect them pay tribute to them and keep that memory alive and see your collection too the national world war two museum kershilling thank you my friend it's fun man thank you guys no problem we got more convene on rich next right here on Fox Sports Radio.

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. We 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.

We're live from Radio Row Super Bowl 59, New Orleans. And the crazy part is to think that, you know, because some may disagree with him politically or some of his stances, he's honestly, who better to talk baseball with? Honestly, that's trash. Because whether you like him as a guy,

be the worst guy ever, right? Just a terrible guy. His numbers are ridiculous, and his postseason dominance was ridiculous, three-time World Series champion. And I think the biggest takeaway is when you think about his post-season dominance and the world series he played in, they really were all super memorable. And they gave me nightmares as a Yankees fan. But, you know, he mentioned the Toronto Blue Jays Joe Carter walked off too.

Like, man, he's been part of such huge. moment so thanks again to Kurt Schilling you know when he walked off the stage he told me I like those guys I like Kurt Chilling I liked him too man that's the first time I've ever heard a guest say that though what a surprise not to pull the curtain back too much but the other day Jim Lampley said he loves that oh that's right you're right this is the second you're winning people over that's right yeah slowly but surely but yeah it was fun talking to him and if you knew to Kavino and rich you know we're big baseball fans so we talk to that guy all day another reminder rich tomorrow will be filling in for the herd in for colhurt tomorrow and still doing our regular show so more
