We're going to get to the Dodgers. Confidence versus cockiness. Dilemmas on

airplanes. A lot of randoz stuff and a lot of fun here on Kavino and Rich today. But I do want to say that I think you and I'm making that Mets Yankees bet is going to provide a lot of annoyance and fun throughout the season because every time the Yankees lose now, I feel like a little tingle. A little tingle. A little tingle because it's just one game. I get him. He feels a tingle and his baseball dangle. I do. I do. And his mini torpedo bat.

I do want to talk about Shohei Otani because he was at the White House. And President Trump I mean, called the guy a movie star. Take a listen. Unanimous National League MVP Shohei Otani.

Otani. Otani. Let me give you a niggie. He slapped him on the ass. Looks like a movie star. He's got a good future, I'm telling you. He shattered all of those records last year. Think of it, all of them.

And he did something even more because he became the first ever member of the 50-50 club. Oh, look at that. So the president giving props to O-Tonnie. He's a movie star. O-Tonnie. And politics aside, that's so cool, man. Jockey Chen. Throw your politics out the window just for a minute.

Otani. And just appreciate that he's right. Recognizing the greatness that we speak of on the daily. Oh, Tani. I thought that was cool. I thought it was a cool moment. And he does look like a movie star. You know, it's all all ties together.

I promise you. We have too much to get to get into a long-winded conversation about movie stars. Otani. Look at him. Otani. Shohei Otani. Looks like a movie star. Today is the anniversary of two classic baseball movies that are near and dear to us.

and if Otani can be a movie star then we got to shout out the cast of Major League came out on this day in 1989 so that's what, 36 years ago or how long ago? Yeah, 36 years ago. 36. And in 1993

the Sandlot debuted. So two of the best baseball movies ever came out on this day and real quick, do you have a favorite movie star baseball player? Is there a Is there someone that you think, wow, they were convincing as a ball player? And you can't say Charlie Sheen because I think that's the obvious answer.

Well, I like that. We're celebrating both of these movies today, and we posed that question. Again, at 87799 on Fox, if you want to chime in, 87799 on Fox, because there are two baseball movies, but two very different movies. Yeah, for real. There's nothing. The only commonality you here is the fact that baseball is the backdrop, but two very different movies.

You know, one stars Benny the Jetron. Rodriguez. He should be in the conversation. And he already said, Rick Vaughn. But the coolest fictional baseball player? It's a great question. We open it up to you. Otani looks like a movie star. But when it comes to actual movie stars, who is the best character?

You know, I hate to agree with Mike, but again, he's in the conversation. Mike, who runs this place? In our pre-show meeting. Never heard of him. Mike. He looks like Rick from Pawstars. Mike. Never heard of him. He said, Roy Hobbs, the Wonderboy, the wonder bad. Yeah, I talked about that music last week. You did. The natural has to be in the

conversation. Roy Hobbs, because you almost believe that he was a real guy. Like you bought into that story, right? Like the lightning hit the tree. He made a bat out of it. Like you believe the story of Roy Hobbs almost. At least I did. It's like my brother who thought Forrest Gump was a true story. The natural in my mind was like a real movie, like a real story, real person. So again, Who is the coolest fictional baseball player of all time? We open it up to you. Do you have an immediate answer? I think, listen, I think, I got mine, but no one's going to agree.

So I'm holding on. I think the obvious answer from Major League would be the wild thing. Because he had the mechanics and as the stories go that everyone said a million times. But is he even the coolest guy in that movie? You could say Pedro Serrano was the coolest guy in that movie. Are you in good hands? People don't realize it's the same guy. People don't know that's Dennis Hayesbirth.

Hayesworth. Hayesbert? Hayesbirth. Hayesbert. Dennis. Hayesbert. There it is. Is there an H-in-air somewhere? Yeah.

Yeah, the first letter. No, no. Is there a T.H. in there somewhere? I think there's another, like, T.H. Like, Byrd. Burn. No? But we had him on our show, and he was like,

Are you in good hands? You're like, dude, I can't believe that are you in good hands? President from 24 is the same Pedro Serrano that we were convinced with some Dominican guy who's talking about Joe Boo all the time. That's a great answer. I think, wild thing Rick Vaughn's a great answer. I think Roger Dorn is the cocky, which we're going to talk about later, cocky versus

confidence, infielder, the veteran. But I think he was such a focal point in the movie. I think the aging catcher played by Tom Berringer, Jake Taylor, didn't he remind you of like almost like a washed up Gary Carter type? They weren't like a Carlton Fisk. Carter was like a clean cut. fist kind of. Yeah, Carter was too clean cut and like a nice guy. It seemed like

Jake Taylor was like washed up catcher playboy and I thought that was a great character. You could say just maybe on form someone throws you off like yeah, I didn't like how they threw, it wasn't convincing. Like, how do you feel about Ray Leota in Field the Dreams? Like is there someone

that sticks out but that's not fictional? So maybe he doesn't count because Joe Jackson was a real dude. Yeah. How about he was super realistic in his role? Bernie Mac, Mr. 3,000. Dude, you know I've never seen that movie? I've never seen it.

I'm not being serious. I don't think he had the smooth swing of a Tony Gwynn or Wade Boggs or anything or Griffey. Didn't, I mean, I'm picturing Bernie Mac. I don't remember being that impressed. But you know what? I always feel like Dennis Quaid on the mound was convincing. When he always played. I think Quaid was also based on a real guy that dude to play for Tampa.

I'm saying who was convincing. It doesn't. I'm saying like, you said fictional car. Oh, okay. You know who had a good swing, Mr. Baseball. Tom Selleck, yeah. He was a good ball player. What do you got, damn buyer?

I do think in major league, especially in our era when you would have old crafty pitchers that the role of Ed Harris or Eddie Harris. Oh, he played like a film micro type. Yes, exactly. Like a guy who just gets by with all of his junk. You know, a little Barbara Saul, a magicseil. Like a Charlie Huff. Yes, yes, exactly.

Like, there were actual players that I could think of that relate to him. I thought he was like 82 still pitching for the Rangers. So that's who that reminds me. That's a good one, Dan Byer. That is a good one. You know, very convincing, very great answer. But you mentioned Dennis Quaid. He played Jim Morris, which was based on a true story,

who was a gym teacher turned devil-raised pitcher. So I don't know if that technically counts. But you got to give Dennis Quaid the nod because he's at least a convincing ball player. Our buddy Sean hit us up. Young Jay Hernandez was in that movie, too. Our buddy Sean out here in L.A. listening on the iHeart app what's up buddy he said uh kevin costner might be the most convincing ball player kurt russell not too shabby either i'll tell you one that was not convincing to me

and i love the guy he's always been very kind to cavino and rich i mentioned the movie but probably too cool for a guy like steve covino you know captain cool over here yeah does they call me angels in the outfield they had oh oh hey tony danza someone in continuity must have been like Do an exaggerated follow-through when you pitch. He did this deal. Remember this all like... Oh, yeah. My guys.

The follow-through was absurd. Yeah, it was an absurd follow-through. You're right. So my answer, I've waited, and I've waited for one better, but I haven't heard one yet. So I was thinking, is it Carmen Ronzoni from the Bad News Bears? Remember Carmen Ronzoni? He had that cool leather jacket. Carmen Ronson.

Or is it Kelly Leak? And it has to be Kelly. leak of the Bad News Bears. And here's why I say that. Because as a little kid, and I'm watching the original Bad News Bears movies, right? Kelly Leak was supposed to be a Little League player. And he's rolling around on a moped, driving a moped to the game, smoking cigarettes. He looked like a burnout who was at least 33 years old playing on a Little League team. So Kelly League for me was always the quintessential late 70s, early 80s,

badass fictional baseball player. I'm sticking with my answer. It's not Carmen Ronzoni. It's Kelly Leak of the Bad News Bears. I'm not going to give that my number one spot. But I'm trying to think of other. Played by Jackie Earl Haley, by the way. I mean, people am pointing out on social media right now that it's an old guy answer,

but it's a good one. Mr. Baseball played by Tom Selleck. Tom Selleck played baseball at USC, apparently. So, hey, speaking of actors and Shohey could be a Hollywood star with his face and physique. Isn't it odd to you that Billy Crystal actually took an at-bat for the New York Yankees? And so did Tom Selleck.

That is cool. Tom Selleck did in Detroit, I believe. Like in a spring training game. Look that up. Mr. Baseball, Tom Selle himself went yard, right? He went yard in Detroit, if I'm not mistaken. I'm just picturing it. I don't know if he went yard, but I know he made contact. Dude, I'm pretty sure he hit one out.

I'm going to look it up. But Billy Crystal also had the honor because he's so affiliated with being a Yankees fan and he did the 61 movie and everything. I remember, of course. He took a bat with the Yankees. Like, what an honor that is. Even if it's just like a gimmicky, goofy thing, I think that's awesome. I remember loving the movie 42 and the late Chadwick Boseman.

He was good as Jackie Robinson, but I don't know if on the field the mechanics were 100% there. And another guy we really enjoy Mark Paul Gossler. Yeah. Not. I used to like that show pitch. Yeah. But he even admitted, like, his mechanics, he's not a ball player. I'm telling him, I'm telling him, you said that.

All right. In 1986, well, he said that. while working out with the Detroit Tigers. Tom Selleck, known for his role in Magnum P.I, hit a batting practice home run at Tiger Stadium. That's pretty sweet. But he appeared in a game, right? There was an actual game.

I remember him seeing him suit up. Yeah. I know the practice one. There should be video that I've recently seen on TikTok. Spring training. Definitely spring training. It was an old-timers game. I'm seeing some footage here.

But based on all this. stuff and the show hey I think honor and compliment from the president because you could imagine like in person dude not only like tall but he's a good looking dude honestly Otani is like a movie star the guy's not only a superstar maybe one of the best ever

he could be a movie star listen to the president show hey O Tani stupid Otani he's a 6 foot 4 stud Hey, we found out that he's a... Looks like a movie star. He's a model.

I mean, he's also a commercial star because there's a story to go along with his commercials in Japan. If you've noticed that the Dodgers have a cool new celebration, and you might be wondering, if you haven't seen this on social media yet, the Dodgers, the whole hip flexer thing, has sort of taken a backseat to the... It looks like some type of 70s disco move, almost like a Zoolander where you're putting two fingers in front of your eyes.

Like, whoa. Like a pulp fiction type of move? That is mocking in a fun way. Otani, when they were in Japan, they saw that he did a, like a skincare ad for decorit liposome. And he pulls the product in front of his eyes, like, he pulls it across his eyes, and that is now the rally cry in celebration of the Dodgers,

as if they needed more chemistry to bring them closer. Just to put a bow on the Seleck stuff. April 3rd, 1991, SELIC appears in a spring training game for the Tigers against the Reds. Oh, wow. At one point hits a foul ball that Chris Sabeau tries to track down, but it lands in like the photographer well or whatever,

but bounces outside back onto the field of play. Glenn Braggs then picks up the baseball, and everybody wants that foul ball. Who wouldn't want a foul ball hit by Tom Selleck? That's awesome. He ends up striking out in the end up. had bad in the bottom of the eighth inning, but he did appear at a spring training game.

How about, thank you, D.B. I have seen some of the highlights. What about, I'm just throwing this out there, but do you remember Brendan Fraser? I'm sorry, Brendan Fraser in the Scout 1994? Yeah. And did you mention your favorite Mr. Destiny, Rich? I know you're a big fan of that. Jim Belushi, great movie.

I love that movie as a kid, Mr. Destiny. I know, Rich was a big fan. I was saying there's like that's 1990, by me. There's only like five people I know that love Mr. Destiny. I thought that was such a good movie. I rented that movie as a kid a lot. I don't know why. Plus, John Lovitz in that movie. It's a good one. When you think of It's his friend Clip. Here's why I want you to think of

these fictional characters too, because a lot of times when I think about some of the weak-ass movies we watch growing up, Rich, and we loved them. A lot of times they didn't have the rights to the actual teams in uniform, so it was like generic Yankee guy. Yeah, I'm talking about your friend's weak Halloween costume. Yeah, like it was just the generic pinstripes with the blue hat. They couldn't even represent the Yankees in the proper way. So there was always that. guy that stood out to you. He was like the big bad guy on the opposing team. So who comes to

mind? We'll wrap it up with your phone calls right now at 87799 on Fox. Josh in Ohio, we'll start with you as Otani looks like a movie star. Otani. Who's your favorite actor playing a baseball player? Favorite because he plays the perfect Chicago Cubs washed up pitcher. Chet, the Rocket Steadman played by Gary Bucce and rookie of the year. B.C. Buttered sausage. By the way, you know that's a fake clip, that buttered sausage clip? I thought that was real. One of you two ruined that for me.

I know. We've interviewed him. We've interviewed him, and he is a wackadoot. I mean, everybody knows that he's a wacky dude. Let's talk about butter sausage. That clip that's gone viral is not a real clip. I thought it was. He's acting or it's, it's, it's, no, it's CGI. It's someone with like a deep fake, like a filter. Really? Yeah. Oh my.

It's a comedian that was on SNL. But I thought it was real. Yeah. I thought it was real. If you don't know what we're talking about, there's a famous clip from maybe a year ago or so where it's Gary Busey, and he's like, let's talk about buttered sausage.

She's on some podcast or something. Yeah. Just complete changes to the topic. Wow. Over and over again that you can't believe anything on the internet. Who else do we got? Bo in South Dakota. What's up, Bo?

Hey, Bo. Hey, boys. So I got to say, Kenny Powers, Danny McBrack. Dude, I retract my answer. Kelly Leak could take a hike. Kenny Powers has to be. the winner. And you know what,

Rich and I, not to brag, Fox Sports Radio Nation, but we've interviewed Danny McBride a few times and you better believe that we both had them autograph of baseball

that says Kenny Powers. I gave it to my brother for Christmas. Did you really? You gave that away? I gave that to my brother. Man, I'm gonna hang that up

in my man key one day. I will say this. The best, I mean, it's a different conversation, but I think maybe the best sidekick, funny guy and TV

in the last decade might be Stevie from that show. Wow, we love Stevie. Fickson. That chemistry between Stevie and Kenny Powers, it's unmatched. And I think that is the number one answer because I absolutely loved it. I'm still waiting to maybe rewatch that show. Some people say, you're my Stevie.

Oh, you think so? I don't know. The fictin? Let's go to Montana. Dave. I can feel it all the way down on my plumb. What's up, buddy? Doing.

Got a couple here. You mentioned Kurt Russell, for starters. He actually was a professional ball player. He played for the Portland Mavericks. back in the 70s. His dad on the team. If you ever get a chance to see, and I hope I can say this, the battered bastards of baseball.

I love it. Excellent documentary. You have not mentioned Chris Pratt, Seattle Boy, Moneyball. Oh, dude, that's a really good one. By the way, two great answers. He's absolutely right about that documentary. So when you're done watching the White Lotus finale, the battered bastards of whatever it's called,

fantastic movie. It's actually a documentary. documentary about Kurt Russell and his dad and that baseball team and how he played. And again, just a great one. You know what? We'll take the rest of your answers next. We'll wrap this up. We've got other things to move on to. Otani in the news today because the president giving him some props and he looked like a movie star. Show Hey, Otani.

It also happened to be the anniversary of Major League and, of course, the sandlot. So, hey, big baseball day. We're going to talk about cockiness and confidence in sports. We'll do a little NFL. and, man, the Western Conference in the NBA. Danny G. You and I were talking about that with Kavino before the show. It is tight. It is crazy. Like day to day, your thoughts are changing.

So we'll talk to some NBA as well. All coming up right here, Covino and Rich. Tires matter. The only part of your vehicle that touches the road. And they're responsible for everything.

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, Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember.

I think it was on a call about what should. 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 for people could call in and say, hey, Jonas.

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. Genshin win. I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted.

She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina 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.

Because people scoreboard watch. Life becomes about wins and losses. Steve Burns, Dustin Ross, because you find it important to be a good person while you hear on Earth, or are you a good person because you're afraid? Because that's two different intentions, bro.

Let's be adults for a second. With who? Trump and Otani. Oh. No. Otani. Oh, Otani. Shohay Otani.

Otani. Watching the mutual respect, you know, and we've seen Trump doesn't necessarily respect everybody. Seeing the mutual respect between him and Shohei Otani in that moment, it's actually heartwarming and nice. It really is. It's so nice to see because you can't deny the superstar that Shoah is. He went out of his way, though, to let him take extra photos, too. that he's like, and now stand by the Declaration of Independence.

Just don't steal it. Don't steal it. You're not McCa. She was giving him freebies off the desk. Don't pick it. You're a great player and a great person. Whatever he says. Something about he's a great human, but showing you very respectful. The whole thing was very nice. And based on that, based on the fact that Trump

said he looks like a movie star and the fact that today's the anniversary of Sandlot and Major League. Oh, that's why the market bounced back a little today? The market bounced back. We ask you the coolest fictional baseball player, and we're going to wrap it up with your phone calls real quick. I'm sticking with my answer. I said Kelly Leak for fun, but as a kid, I did think he was a badass.

That's from Bad News Bears. I do lean Benny the Jet Rodriguez. I think that's a cool answer on the anniversary. But let's wrap it up with these three. Did you not change the Kenny Powers? That was someone else's answer. It was a great answer. Yeah, that was good.

Before we get to the lines here, Rich, two people couldn't hold. Kathleen and Vermont said, don't forget about the ladies. How about Gina Davis in a league of their own? She was great. Based Dottie Henson? Yeah, that was still based on real people. I love the depiction. Like I said, Kit Keller.

Her sister, played by Lori Petty. They both sold it well. Lori Petty, in my opinion, best known for point break. And then Bruno said, yeah, Madonna did good in that move. Bruno in Brooklyn said, as far as Major League goes, Wesley Snipes sold it for him, running on the base path like Ricky Henderson. I'm surprised it took that long for someone to say Willie Mays Hayes. Right, and then Wesley also played a baseball player in that movie The Fan.

Oh, with De Niro. Yeah, that was creepy. That was a good movie. That was a good movie. I'm going to stick, though, with the aging Jake Taylor, Tom Berengueger, I thought was great. And, of course, the easy answer is Charlie Sheen. I mean, goes on and on in that movie because you could say Pedro Serrano, like you said, Dennis Hayesburg. Hayesburg.

Are you in good hands? Matt, SoCal. What's up, bro? Yo, Colvino and Rich natural content back by Sincer. I got you real quick. It's softball, but Al Bundy put up a pretty... I love that clip. I don't know how famous that clip is, but when there's someone watching him, like, that's Al Bundy.

And he's like shagging flies. He's like, he scored four touchdowns at one game. You see Al Bundy snagging flies in the Apple playing softball. I feel like it was a special episode or something. You've seen it, right? I've seen the clip floating around. Yeah, I've seen it on social media, but I don't necessarily remember. that episode. That's Al Bundy.

Gary in Florida, what's up, Gary? Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. So this is a little bit under the radar, but how about Brian Keith playing Jack Parkman, the coolest fictional baseball player? He didn't have many scenes in the movie. That was very, very pre-agent coming in. And I thought that was great. And then remember in the scene later when they're in the, they won and got me Davidson? Does that turn you on? That's right. But he does roll up in a moped on one scene when he rides up to the field. Either way, Kelly Leak legend.

Hold on. He mentioned Jack Parkman. Do we all remember the fun fact that Bob Euker drops in Major League about Parkman? What is he saying about him? Jack Parkman once threw it is, no, wait. Wrong guy. I'm thinking a wrong guy. Who wants through it his own son at a father-son game? I remember the line. Remember the reliever that came in? Of course I remember the line.

Jack Parker was the power hit up. Damn it. I messed up. I remember Jack Parkman. I just looked them up for sure. Wrap it up. One more phone call. 877.99 on Fox. We have other things to get. Ron and Rochester. What's up, buddy? Hey, Ron. Hey, guys. Yeah, so Charlie Sheen could actually throw in the upper 80s. He was a real pitcher.

Yeah. And Tom Selle had a basketball scholarship. And, you know, George Bush Sr. played first base at Yale. John Wayne played football at Ohio State. But in the movies, Zach Efron, his swing in the second movie, what's it called, High School Musical, he's got a really good swing. It's got a really nice swing. and that's what I really liked.

It was pretty impressive. And, you know, Kevin Koster swing is pretty good, too. But check out Zach Ephron swing. It was really good. You know, I never heard that, but I'll have to look it up. Zach Efron, so he could swing the bat, too. It was Duke, by the way. I don't know.

Is it Duke someone that threw at his own kid in the father-son game? All I'm getting is Duke. But hey, great answers, everybody. Thanks for playing along. Figured it was the anniversary of Major League coming out in theaters, 1989 and Sandlot 93, both on the same day and also on the same day that President Trump honored Chohei Otani.

Otani. And it seems like the entire team and the entire city of L.A. and the entire sport of baseball celebrating Otani, like we said. Oh, no, we're celebrating right now? The Detroit Tigers, they beat your Yankees. Yeah, I see that celebration. Homefield advantage is freezing. They're snowing Detroit right now. The sun came out finally. Look at it. Showing Otani, to wrap up the story again, his celebration

has gone viral with the Dodgers. His makeup, closing of the eyes, sort of dance celebration based on his commercial is the new rage, and they're selling T-shirts and everything. It's a commercial he did for the court liposome. He's the spokesman in Japan, and they all saw it. By the way, Danny G., speaking of random Dodgers stories, you got to look this one up.

Don't know if it's true because I saw it on social media. Kike Hernandez was wearing like an X-rated hat of sorts, and people zoomed in on it. Oh, yeah. And now he's backtrack and saying, hey, I feel a little disrespectful that they photoshop my hat. But really the hat he was wearing, getting onto the plane,

was something X-rated yet hilarious all at the same time. I don't know if you saw that. I don't have to check that out. And by the way, I thought Dan Byer had a great line on, what was a Thursday show last week? We were talking about, can Otani do anything wrong?

And he said, interpreters. Yeah, that's it. Because I feel like everything else, the way he gives a little nod to every manager out of respect. That's the only stain on his resume, and you know what? It's not even him.

It's not even his fault. Yeah, and he plays with a passion. He plays with a childlike fun. He's a winner. He's respectful. Even in a circumstance where who knows if he agrees or disagrees with Donald Trump's politics. He went to the White House and was a man of respect.

I would say he would probably get some backlash from his countrymen, no? Or he was risking that. Oh, no. Othani and him. They came up with a tariff deal today. No, but I'm saying. Him about Yamamoto. You guys see him in the White House photos?

He did not look as happy. He looks like he's being held prisoner. Yeah. You have to imagine it was a risk there. And it was a great encounter. It's nice to see. And he's a superstar. We talked about that last week.

Hey, listen, we all know that Dennis Robin almost, you know, has the ability to stop wars, right? So how do we know that Trump has a crush on Otani? and therefore Tarriffs. Hate Japan. Tariffs a little lower. Maybe they cut a break. So anyway, thank you guys.

Let's make a deal. We have to talk about airplane doos and don'ts. There's a story and we're going to talk stadium doos and don'ts. Plus last one standing the game that's sweep in the nation. What's a dozen don't? The difference between confidence and cockiness, lots to get to, but Dan Byer with an update first. What up, D. Hey, Dan.

You guys touched on it. Tigers beat the Yankees today, 6 to 2, and the Abania. A three-run shot for the Tigers. Aaron Judge and the losing effort did have an RBI, so that puts his league leading, or I should say, yeah, Major League leading 18th RBI for Aaron Judge. Damn. Both the Yankees and Tigers sitting there at 6 and 4.

Tonight, the national champion and men's college basketball will be crowned. Florida and Houston will play in San Antonio, tip off 850 Eastern Time. Women's top 25. The final poll of the season is out. No surprise. Yukon wins the national championship. Yesterday they finish at number one.

South Carolina, the runner-up is at two. UCLA, Texas, and USC round out the top five. The Jacksonville Jaguars have exercised the fifth-year option on the contract of defense end. Trouvon Walker. Walker was the first overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft. Today's practice round at the Masters washed out because of rain. Got to play until about 1130 this morning and then it was called off for the day.

Master's Chairman Fred Ridley announced that a partnership with Tiger Woods and the TGR Foundation. we'll see a learning center built in the Augusta area, plus a nine hole par three course will be built to the next to the renovated Augusta Municipal Golf Course. And finally, guys, a couple of notes from the NBA, Trailblazers gave GM Joe Croner a multi-year contract extension.

He'd say Bam had a bio questionable for tomorrow's game against the Sixers because of a back injury. John Moran expected to play tomorrow for the Grizzlies. Guys, back to you. Thank you, Dan. By the way, Rich, appreciate it, DB. I'm looking up Kelly Leak from the bad news,

Bears just because our caller said he drove a Harley. And because he played a 12-year-old in the movie, maybe I just always assumed it was a moped he was driving. He really is driving a Harley and smoking cigarettes. So again, your favorite fictional... That's a kid in the 70s or 80s, right? Yeah, he was smoking cigarettes on the team. I always thought that was hilarious.

I thought he was a badass. Keith Hernandez in the dugout. Yeah, exactly. So you could leave your answer at Covino and Rich for the coolest fictional baseball players, but we have other things to get to. Like this. was a hilarious story and it has to do with Michelle Williams.

Remember formerly of Destiny's Child? She has a story from a flight and it's one of those like, don't we know not to do this on a plane? It has to do with someone's feet. So we're going to put our own little twist on it. Stadium and sports do's and don'ts. We'll explain, we'll do that coming up. Plus, Baker Mayfield being compared to Shador Sanders

and it has to do with confidence or cockiness, all that coming up right here. Fox Sports Radio, Kavino and Rich. 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 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, 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 Chinchin win. 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, Lina Rubakina is arguably the best player in the world right now

and 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. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHeart Women's Sports.

Some call it grotesque. 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. 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.

It's crazy how Kravitz and Mamoa are like BFF and they were both married to Lisa Bonnet. Eskimo bros. That's the goal, I guess, life goals to somehow make it work with your blended, extended family.

A little much for me, though. Covino and Rich. You're not working on that with your ex-wife? No, I'm good on that. Fox Sports Radio 87799 on Fox. Hey, for the record, you're the one that brought up your ex-wife today, not me. That is true. For once.

Hope you had a Minecraft Vlad Jr. sort of weekend. And I heard that Dan Patrick clip right there. and I was telling Rich the same thing earlier. That whole long-term, 14-15-year deal thing is for the birds. Talk to me in 10 years when he's playing like an old Albert pool hole. It's like his feet hurt. You know what I mean? Like, get out of here with that.

I know you don't care because it's not your money, but you're going to care when that dude is a liability and he's old and overweight. Well, first of all, it's not my money. For me, as a Mets fan, Soto, you can say if you're a Blue Jays fan. Sotto for 15 years. Yeah, but he looks six months pregnant in the offseason this year. So when he's looking like Barton, Polo Colon in five years.

Tell me if that's a good deal. But, Cove, aren't these teams just hoping and banking on the fact that hopefully they'll get one World Series or two titles? Absolutely. And then it pays for itself. That's what they're hoping for. Two is a pipe dream. I'm a Mets fan in my 40s. One World Series when I was a schoolboy.

My daughter is like, Dad, have the Mets ever won the championship? I told them, yes, when I was your age. If the Mets get one. They're big dreaming, bro, though. In 15 years, they're like, we got to get two and 15, right? If they get one, I'd be the happiest little boy. I'd be like the happier than Pinocchio. Yeah, well, guess what?

I would be. The Dodgers have show hey, Otani. So until he's already giving him one. Show Hey, Otani. Until he's off the team, the mess, yeah, go on. I'm just saying, I don't care. It's not my money. There's no salary cap in baseball yet.

Yeah, but you're still stuck with that guy for 15 years. And now the Blue Jays are stuck with a 26-year-old Vlad Jr. But he's going to be 40 by the end of that contract. again, I don't worry about what, listen. Yeah, but it's detrimental to the team in the future. Ask the Cardinals, ask the Yankees who held on to Jeter.

As much as I love Jeter, that did hold them back from moving forward because they were so tied into that contract. As much as Kobe Bryant is loved out here in L.A. And listen, and not only was he one of the greatest when he passed away in such tragic nature, his legacy

only grew, right? But there was a time where a lot of Lakers fans, They forget because they think of Kobe only fondly now. There was a time where there were Lakers fans that thought the end of his contract was holding the organization. Well, and he didn't ask for it. Jeannie Buss gifted that to him. It was like her version of a gold watch to him. And, you know, congrats to them, too, for making that happen.

I think it's important to keep those legacies alive with one team. I think that's nice. But that's a very long time, guys. 15 years, 14 years. Give me a break. I have a rude analogy, but it's along the lines of what you and Dan Patrick agree on. Yeah. These long contracts.

They're too long. It's like marrying. It's like marrying a swimsuit model in her prime and you know she has bad eating habits. And you're like, it sounds rude. But like that's so rude. But you know what I mean? Or like genetic, like you. Gosh, should I just stop this one?

Digging yourself deeper and deeper. He's losing his mind and we're reaping all the benefits. I'm just saying what you're really trying to say. What Kavino's saying, with Dan Patrick's saying without saying it is, you're just hoping that by signing Soto, who you said is going to be Bartolo Colon in 10 years, so aren't you saying the same thing? And let's be honest, a slugger, a slugger, but a thicker slugger,

like a Vladdy Jr. You're saying, good luck when they're 40. What you're really saying is, like, you married the pain in the ass girl. Who doesn't work out? She's just, like, young. So it's like, what are you going to get when she's older? That's all. rude maybe i'll just shut up now how many years i'm looking this up because this is crazy you want to

feel old for a second do you know prince fielder's son is already like on the draft market great the third one the prince fielder thrice son his son so i'm saying prince fielder was a big dude and he was a stellar player right retired with the same amount of home runs as his dad Cecil. I think 309 or something like that. Over 300 home runs. Isn't the fun fact that they have the same number of career home runs? Yeah. Prince played 12 seasons in the big leagues. Grand opening, grand closing. You're going to tell me Vlad Jr., who's weighing in at a good 260 probably right now, is going to last 14 years? I don't know. I hope so. Look,

it's a win for the player, but for the organization, who I don't care about. But for the fans, you're stuck with that guy. I'm coming from the fan perspective. There's pros and cons to it. Hey, props to the player getting, you know, getting his money. Looky, Stevie Boy. You know what they're everyone trying to do, and the reality is everyone's trying to do in L.A. Rams.

And what did the Rams do? A lot of teams have tried this, but the Rams successfully went all in. Remember they went all in? And they won a Super Bowl. And listen, they're back sooner than people thought now, looking competitive. They got Pooka and, you know, Stafford's still there.

But there was a point. where if you're a Rams fan, you had to say, we went all in, won a Super Bowl, good, I don't care if we sort of of sting for a little while,

we did it. We did it. And if you told me the Mets, won a World Series in the next, let's say, five years because Soto, Lendor, and Alonzo in their prime,

won one. I don't care if they don't want another one for 20 years. I've been waiting since I was peeing my bed. I was a little boy when the Mets won in 86. Give me one.

I don't care if Soto's is slum. when he's 35, 40 years old. Doesn't matter. All right. I mean, there's a few ways to look at it. I appreciate that and I respect that. It just seems like such a long time.

No, I agree. 14, 15 years. But then again, we're not seeing a lot of players stay with one team. So again, I don't want to talk out of both sides of my mouth because I do like the lawyer with one team and the loyalty. We rarely see that in today's world. Let me give you an analogy in our world. Man, that's a long, long contract to give somebody.

Let me give me an analogy in our world. Would it be weird to give a radio or TV personality or a podcast or a long deal. Like, Kavino, you know what you're getting with Soto. We know, you know, Fox knows what they're getting with Kavino and Rich or Rob Parker or this person. Is there a length where you're like, I don't know if they'll be funny then? I don't know if they'll be entertaining then. There's contract extensions that only go so far in media. You don't know, you don't know if this personality is going to be as good in 10 years. They do it in every industry. So I get what you're saying. 15 years is a long time to assume that they'll be as good as what they do then. But congratulations.

You wouldn't sign the best artist to a 20-year music deal. No way. Congrats to Vladdy, though. Not hating, just stating. More. C&R. Next. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers.

I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? 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, and sick. Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts,
