I told you about today. Was it intentional or coincidence? The world may never know. So yesterday Yankees win I'm a Yankees fan Danny G your Dodgers looking nice with the gold uniforms

The gold They also won by the way I know Lots of home runs hit Lots of big games Lots of big name players Young players doing well And

right at the end of the show yesterday Juan Soto came up With a chance to Tie and Yeah, tie the game. You had the biggest smile on your face. It was Rich standing next to Rob Parker before the odd couple began. Yeah, we didn't leave the studio.

We had to see what happened, right? So Juan Soto's up. Run around first and third. He strikes out so terribly. Right? You're like, oh, it was so weak. He didn't even just strike out swinging. He struck out like, eh.

Right? It was like embarrassing. Yeah. And I loved it. Now, I'm not a Soto hater. In fact, I don't know about that. I'll be diplomatic and I'll be mad enough to say, I think he does look good in the Mets uniform. He does.

He looks good. He fits right in. Do you make this sound? He chased the bag. But yeah, when he struck out and he went, ooh. There was a part of me, you're right, Danny G. That couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. And I love seeing Rich watch it.

And I just love seeing Soto's reaction. I love seeing him pout when he talked about it after the game. You know, his mannerisms look like. You paid how much for that? Because you pay Soto all that money so that he comes through in that moment. And he's a big moment guy. It's opening day. Soto's up.

He strikes out like that. That was pathetic. And Rich always has to convince himself that it's no big deal if something bad happens to one of his teams. So I heard him say to Rob Parker, it's a long season, right? It's a long season. You know, what are you going to do? You know, get him next time. But it was a sweet pitch.

and a really nice strikeout. Loved it. Because you could see how indecisive. He was fooled. He was totally fooled. It was one of those half swings. He didn't mean to, but he had to. The way he was looking back at the plate,

it was like somebody mugged him. Like someone robbed him. Took his wallet. So I want to make it clear. I don't hate on him. I'm not rooting for him. But I'm not rooting for anything bad. But I did love that moment.

It was great. I'm a Yankees fan. Now, on the Yankees side of things, This sort of went under the radar, but thanks to social media, people pick up on stuff, and then it goes viral. Jazz Chisholm, New York Yankee playing second. He's in the batters box. Now remember, jazz and Soto played together last year. I think that's important to the story.

Jazz Chisholm, colorful player, who's kind of viral for a few moments right now. They catch him do the Soto shuffle. Did you see that? And he's done it before. He did it when he was in Miami, and it caused a major problem with Miguel Rojas. Miguel Rojas wasn't happy about it. Turns out Miguel Rojas and some of those Marlins were a bunch of jerks anyway, because the other viral story that's resurfaced is the fact that they used to bully the hell out of this guy.

When he was a young kid on the Marlins, he would go there with his flashy new cleats. And it was one story where they poured milk in his cleats. They chopped them in half. They cut up his cleats. They bullied Jazz Chishol for wanting to stand out. wanting to be different. And he's like, yo, man, it was so messed up.

That story's gone viral. How the Marlins were just a bunch of punks, a bunch of haters anyway. But when he was in Miami, Miguel Rojas also got on him for doing the Soto shuffle then because he was like, yo, you can't be doing that.

In fact, here's Jash Chisholm talking about it. Soto is an all-star. You can't be doing that. Bro, what do you mean? He's having fun, bro. We're playing a kids game. So my question is, when you saw him do it again in the pinstripes yesterday,

is he allowed to do that? Because, I mean, Soto is his former teammate. It's like this. Here's how I see it at first. When you hang around someone long enough, you pick up on their mannerisms. Their expressions sort of become your expressions, and it's understood because you're boys, right?

And that's how friends communicate, friends talk. So when Jazz Chisholm does the Soto shuffle when he takes a pitch yesterday, was he just doing what his boy used to do? and it sort of just happened. You know, sometimes even when you're jokingly doing something, it just becomes a part of you and what you do. Or was he taking a jab at Soto?

Was it a funny moment? Was he poking fun at Soto? How do you view this moment? Or do you simply say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery? Is it flattering when people imitate somebody? Or is it a weak move? and maybe Miguel Rojas was on to something. Like, yo, man, that's Soto's thing.

Be better than that. And it's disrespectful. Like, what are your thoughts? And by the way, this is a fun little nugget to think about before you call because I want to get you involved. Fox Sports Radio Nation, your thoughts. Is imitation really the best flattery or is it just weak? 87799 on Fox.

Is it case by case? 877 99 on Fox. That's the number at Covino and Rich. Do you know the full quote attributed? to imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Anyone? It finishes by saying, but they better pay you.

No, it should, right? According to Google, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Everybody loves to say that, right? It's the sincerest form of flattery. It means you're the man. It means they idolize you.

Take it as a compliment. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness. So in other words, it's saying because you're mediocre and you have no originality of your own, so you're just paying homage to the greatness,

the original that came before you. You have no original thought, no original style, no original anything. So this is the greatest form of flattery you could show to the person who came up with it. Let me repeat that again. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.

in other words Soto is the greatness in this analogy but I look at it like this I do Jazz Chisholm is just doing what jazz chisholm does he's a colorful guy

he's funny he has a personality of his own he shows some flair and I think he's earned the right to do that because Soto was his boy and his teammate last year and he picked up a little something from the guy even though he had done it in the past

that's how I feel about it but there's other times and that's why I said case by case, case where I don't look at it that way. I don't. I'll give you another time where I do look at it like flattery. Kobe Bryant. Dude, the moves he made were identical.

Identical. When you see a side by side with him and Jordan and the moves, the way he copied Jordan, it was identical and it was the most sincerest form of flattery because he wanted to be like Mike. He wanted to be like Michael Jordan. You know he practiced all those moves. And there was no shame in that.

Everybody wanted to be like Mike. He did it and he did it great. He was Kobe Bryant. And you know what? I think Jordan was cool with that. I heard Rob Parker and Kelvin, the odd couple, talking about how, you know, Jordan embraced Kobe Bryant.

Jordan does not embrace LeBron James. So it was flattering. And it was flattery that Kobe Bryant did a lot of Jordan moves. Kobe Bryant also did a lot of his own Kobe moves. There's no question. He had his own originality too. Maybe that's why it was accepted. How do you feel about that, Danny G?

I think that MJ should be a little friendlier to LeBron. But, you know, MJ is a special guy. We all remember that speech that he gave where he sounded very, very bitter. And, you know, that drove him in his career. But no one had a problem when Kobe was doing those Jordan moves. Yeah, but Kobe was a more likable guy. I don't know if that's it. I think it has to do with Kobe never crowned himself.

Like he never said, I am the best. He always... Well, he gave himself a nickname, though. The black... Yeah, he gave himself that black mama nickname. Made it his own, yeah, the mama mentality, which really was like a Jordan sort of mentality, right? Sure, which is separate from a lot of players' mentality.

Like, a lot of people do not have that work ethic. That's like a real thing. I think there is a little bit of a difference. Like, I don't think he annoyed. He pointed himself the best, even though he was trying to be the best, just like Jordan, when LeBron appoints himself the best. He does. I mean, you crown yourself. You literally crown yourself.

You know, number 23. Your Twitter handle is King James. He was honoring Jordan. Sometimes it's weird how we view it. We work with a lot of people who crown themselves. Sure, and who are nobody's. Yes, I know. Yeah.

Look, I'm not saying I'm a fan of LeBron putting the crown on his head. I do think, though, later on, we, our kids, might look back and say, wow, everybody was hard on LeBron and everybody misses him playing the game of basketball. That's the one thing right now where we're all in this moment of, you know, a lot of haters on LeBron. Oh, yeah. Way more haters than fans. And I don't fully disagree with you. I think a big part of it is social media and the access that we have to players and people today. because we didn't have access to Michael Jordan like this.

Trust me. Michael Jordan would not be as beloved if we all had found out all of his personal dirt on social media back in the day. I don't disagree. And so that's the really big difference. And, you know, Kobe kind of like didn't also have this mega social media life either. It wasn't the way it is now. So the access that we have to see LeBron and obviously like what's happening now with Steve and I like he kind of brings it on himself, but he's living in an age where,

this is what we do. This is how we live through social media. And he's complicated, kind of like how Tupac was. Sure. Yeah. Where there's two sides of the coin with LeBron. Yeah. Yeah. He makes us all roll our eyes often. But also, look at the life he's lived and he's never made any big mistakes. He's never, you know what I mean? He's been a great role model. I really do agree that we don't give him enough credit for certain things that he has done and that maybe like we are going to look back and be like, yeah, we're probably too harsh on him. You're probably right. But he does bring, you know what I mean?

Like, he does bring a lot of attention to himself. He loves it. He loves himself. My point is, too, Kobe Bryant did so many Michael Jordan moves and imitated Michael Jordan so many times, but we accepted it

and we loved it for what he did. LeBron wears his number and we don't accept it. Jordan doesn't accept it. So again, imitation. Fair move or weak move based on jazz chisholm doing the Soto Shuffle. Did it bother you? No, I loved it.

I'm glad you asked Danny G. Didn't bother me at all. And I didn't take it as a jab. I didn't either. I took it as he is just doing it because he wanted to just as he said in that soundbite. Like what? Who cares? Who cares that he's an all-star and he's won Soto?

He's the inventor of everything. I can't do it to his baseball. I'm having fun. haven't we all? Because we have to remember. And I brought up Kobe because Kobe was a fan. We're all fans. Jazz Chisholm's a fan. You don't think Jazz Chisholm's a fan of Soto? I'm sure he is, even though they're both big leaguers. We're all fans of the game.

When you were playing baseball, you didn't stand in the batter's box like Darrell Strawberry or whoever was your hero. We all do that as a form of flattery. And I still do that. But you still have to have an little bit of originality there, too, because that's where it becomes weak. Now, I said it's case by case, too, because there are very personal moments in life where you're like, that is not flattery. That is just weak. In Moncey, you're a woman. If you have a nice pair of shoes or a nice outfit and your girlfriend buys the same thing, don't tell me for a second you feel flattered. We better not wear it on the same day.

Oh, but you feel flattered? I would be. One of my friends or is it somebody I don't like? You're the weakest. You're friends. No, because I literally, like, when it's my friend's birthday and I have to buy them something, if I like it, I buy one for me, and I give them one, and I say, let's not wear it together. There's a lot of terms for this. I heard swagger jacker. Like, you're a swagger jacking. But to me, I just think you're the lamest. Get your own style. Be your own original. When Rich comes in here and he's wearing, like, sneakers that I already got, I want a karate kick him in the face. Honestly God. Like, Rich does so many little subtle things. I'm like, you know, dude, now we look like two dummies doing the same thing. think, right?

Like, for example, I always used to wear jackets. And I even said, like, I'm a jacket guy. Am I the inventor of jackets? Absolutely not. But I'm the jacket guy. And then he comes in with a jacket similar to mine. I want to give him an elbow to the neck. So I don't always feel flattering.

I feel it's a weak move. Be original. Get your own style, dude. Yeah, you know, you're right. I just, with like my closest friends, I feel like I wouldn't be upset, but you're right. There's somebody that would make me feel that way. You're not wrong.

There's somebody that I would look at side eye and be like, did you really wear that? And you're right. If it's your friend, you're like, you sort of look past it, but you make the mental note. You make the mental note. That's weak. Covino, it would be like if everyone at the network started wearing my Travis Matthew hat. And Danny, I feel for you, bro, because that was your thing. Dang.

Yo, it's so true. Danny G. was the Travis Matthew guy, right? We all try to put an original twist on who we are. He rock Travis Matthew all the time. All of a sudden, they're a sponsor of the show. Now everyone's right. Everybody's got it.

Not just have it. They have my same hat. Yeah. Ruins it. Now, here's the thing, though, and I think we're getting to the core of it. And I'm glad we're able to figure it out. We'll take your phone calls at 87799 on Fox. Mike who runs his place.

Who? I mean, this guy, he's just so full of wisdom, I guess. Mike who runs this place is like, there were two rivals. At another job, there were two rivals who didn't necessarily like each other at this other place that he worked at, right? one dude shows up he got a new car and you know what came out oh man sweet new rye was like an infinity or something like that like six months later the other dude bought the same exact car and it's like yeah it's so weak so it's like if you don't like that person and they're imitating you that's when it becomes an issue and i think

that's why jordan doesn't like lebron like because he really doesn't like him so that's why the flattery doesn't work there. I think imitation is the sincerest form of flattery when you like that person, when there's a humility involved. Yeah, also if it's competition, like the industry we do, we've all created a benchmark or a bit and you hear another radio station bite it. Yeah. And steal your idea. If I don't like that person, or there's a rivalry there, or I just don't vibe with that person, there is no humility. And all of a sudden they're doing something that I'm doing all the time. Yeah, you're going to be like, screw that. There's no. there's no flattery.

That's just mediocrity. You're an unoriginal style steeler. You should have spit my style. Dwight Shrut buys a bunch of Cornell attire to get under the skin of Andy on the office. Oh, really?

Because Andy went to Cornell. He loves to show it off. He loves to brag that he went to Cornell. And then he's like, you didn't go to Cornell. And Dwight's like, I don't care. I'm just trying to screw with you. Oh, that's so funny. I didn't know that. I'm glad you brought that up. I never really watched that show. I've seen... I'm sorry, what?

Yeah, I don't watch that or friends or any corny show like that. It's not corny. I don't want... It's great. It's not corny. It's not corny. I mean, I've seen... Friends is corny.

I'll give you that. I love friends. It's one of my favorite shows of all time, but it's corny. I'll give you that. The office is... I don't watch Modern Family or... So you're just not fun. You're just not fun.

What's the other one? Rich always talks about? He's not listening to you. Oh, how I met your mother? Yeah, I never met her. I never seen that. Not my thing, guys. That's not who I am.

You know why? Because that's richest thing. You know what I do? My own thing. I'm my own man. I'm an individual. I'm an original. Being a unique person unless, of course, there's humility.

And I think when jazz chisholm does the Soto strut, the Soto Shuffle, I think. Can you describe, I don't think I've seen it? Can you tell our listeners what the Soto Shuffle is? Yeah, when he's in the batters box. Like he, yeah. Describe it for our listeners. It's like a slide. I think you're actually going to do like a shuffle.

When he's in the batter's box and he's taking a pitch and he does that, he leans into it and then he does that thing. So he's like Tony Perkins from heavyweights where he's doing the slide thing back and forth as a exercise? If Soto likes jazz chisholm, it's homage to Soto and Soto tips his hat like I saw what you did and that's funny and that's camaraderie and it's baseball and it's fun. I find no problem there. It's when you don't like that person. It becomes a jab. Yes. All right.

Your phone calls 87799 on Fox at Covino and Rich. Is imitation the best flattery? Is it a fair move or weak move? Is it case by case? Your thoughts? Brian, Vegas, you're on the show. All right. I love the show.

Thank you, buddy. Sad out to Rich. He's out. But Monty, you're filling in valiantly. Nice job. Thank you. I was just going to weigh in. You guys touched on most of this whole Kobe versus Jordan and LeBron and how they all.

I think it was because Kobe really, like, that first game. They didn't have a relationship. The first game they played against each other, he put his hands on his knees right next to Jordan and said, asked him about his footwork. A guy like Jordan that's so meticulous like that and so detailed, that's how he immediately are in disrespect. I don't know if I've ever heard of LeBron's approach like that. That's what it is. That's the humility of I know you're the goat and I want to learn from you and be like you and maybe one day even be better than you, but I want to I want to learn from you. and Jordan and LeBron came in differently.

That's not everybody's personality. LeBron was crowned when he was in middle school. It was a different vibe coming in. And maybe that's what rubbed. And Jordan took that personally, as they say. And that's also been a topic of discussion all week because of LeBron speaking on McAfee about how he doesn't have a relationship with Jordan.

Perhaps that's why. So think about it, guys. And I'll give you the quote one more time. imitation is especially if it's someone you appreciate or you like or you're okay with imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity could pay to greatness so chisholm doing the shuffle i'm cool with it we got games to play and prizes to give away prizes to give away and we do it next niji yeah coming up next we're going to bring it back we had fun with it last friday stevely

Now, I don't want to steal Monseys updates, but I just saw that at the Tampa Bay. Ray just had a walk-off. Was it? Was it Mizner? Who was it? Yes. It was? Yes.

I just saw that. They hit a walk-off home run against the Rockies, so a lot of celebrating just two days into it. Very nice. All right, you'll hear the updates from Moncey,

but we have a game to play, Danny G. Let's go. When Bill Belichick has some things in common. Bill Belichick's the man. They both have younger girlfriends named Jordan. He ain't the man if that was my daughter. They both have a powerful presence in the sports world.

Look harder so you can do that when you're 72. You tell us, is it Steve Kavino or Bill Belichick? I'm not mad at him at all. I want to know what it is. Yeah, they're basically like the same guy. Apparently, when we were on vacation a few weeks ago, it dawned on rich that both of us, both Bill and I were on vacation with our younger girlfriends,

both named Jordan. Yeah. But he was doing like aerobics on the beach with her. And I was also on the beach and we decided to play a game or make a game out of it. I think this game is harder than last one standing. It's called Steve Covino or Bill Belichick. Spotty boy right over there. How's it going?

Moncey is also going to take part. Iowa Sam, myself Danny G. And we'll get you on the studio line right now. Moncy, I'll use you for this. Would you love to travel to beautiful Springfield? Missouri, Idaho Falls, Idaho, Carson City, Nevada. Nevada. Don't want to get in trouble.

Yeah. Cadillac, Michigan, or Auburn, Maine. Let's go to Michigan. Cadillac. Let's go to Michigan. Mernie is on the line. What up, Mernie? That's right.

Thank you, Monsi. Yeah. Wow. What's up? All right. Go against the guys again. That's right. Mernie, here's how the game works.

I've done extensive research on Coach and Covino. and their young girlfriends. Each member of the crew here is going to read a fun fact. And then you've got to tell us, is it Steve Covino or Bill Belichick? And you've got to get two correct out of five chances, okay? Two out of five to win a Swiggy? This is sweet. These are sweet odds.

The Swiggy is a beautiful stainless steel water bottle, CNR and FSR water bottle. So let's go. All right. Monce is going to read the first fun fact. All right. So he is one quarter Irish. Cavino or Belichick?

Murney. Yeah, you're the only contestant, Marni. You're the only one playing. Yeah, it's all you. All you have to say is Covino or Belichick? I'm saying Belichick. No. That was a trick question.

Believe it or not, I mean, to look at me, I mean, people think I'm Filipino, I'm Hawaiian, but really, I am a quarter Irish. That's shocking. Mexican and Italian. It denies this Irish roots. Trust. Trust me, in the month of March, we heard him bragging about this almost the whole month.

You know what it is? My dad, who is Steve Kavino, Sr., he never says he's Irish because he's Kavino. He's Italian from the East Coast. So a lot of people don't know that. The hair on Kavino's butt is actually ginger. But the hair on my butt is red. Prove it. So, you know.

Mernie, it's okay. You have four more chances here, all right? Spot is going to. Spot he's reading the second fun thing. Bernie, pay attention because this is just for you, okay? His Jordan, both Belichick's Jordan and Kavino's Jordan, both very beautiful women. They are. They are.

They are young as well. His Jordan continued competitive cheerleading after graduating from college. Is it Kavino or Belichick? I know she birthed at Cedar, Spino. I'm going to say Belichick. And you would be right. Yes. Nice.

Good one. All right. So she needs one more for the whiz. She's on the board. Was Jordan a competitive cheerleader? No, no. Okay. No, but my daughter is a competitive cheerleader.

A whole other story. Anything else? All right. Iowa Sam has the third fun fact. All right. Here we go. He fell asleep in the stands next to Jordan during a basketball game.

He fell asleep in the stands next to Jordan during a basketball game. Covino or. or Belichick. I'm going to take the deal. That does seem like something you would do, though. I know. Yes, absolutely.

You know, in defense, I might have done that in the past, but recently it went viral that it was actually Bill Belichick that did that. I mean, I fall asleep during most movies she puts on. That doesn't count, though. And when she watches traitors and all this other, and Vanderpumps, I definitely fall asleep

watching that stuff. All right. Mernie, you're still alive here because there's two more fun facts. You just need to get one of the two right. I have the fourth one here. All right. His Jordan has fun online doing crumble cookie reviews. Covino or Belichick?

Covino. Yes. Congratulations. Michigan. Mernie, you played great. You got two out of five. You win a Swiggy. And the worst part about my girlfriend Jordan's Crumble cookie reviews on social media.

Yeah, but she's always buying crumble cookies. And she leaves them around. She takes a little bunny nibble. I was going to say. Leaves them out around the house and then I come home and I have to eat them all. I can't just let them sit there. For sure. So they're my nightmare.

But thank you, Mernie. Yeah, congratulations, Bernie. We are good. Yeah, we're going to mail out of CNR Swiggy to you in Michigan, okay? Sounds great. Have a great weekend. And that's how you play. Is it Steve Kavino or Bill Belichick, the same guy?

We're the same guy, everybody. And if you want to qualify for a Swiggy with the Swaggy, all you have to do is leave a nice review wherever we stream your podcast. Just search Covino and Rich and say something nice. Five-star review. Say something nice. And if Danny G ever calls your name or sends you an email, you win. All right.

All right. Let's get to an update with the greatest. Monzi Boulanos. Guys, we don't even need Rich. I'm just saying. I'm just saying. I mean, I was thinking it. I didn't say it.

For sure. Yeah, guys, the first baseball game of the day in the books, the race just walked it off against the Rockies. was the final score. We also have Sweet 16 action happening in women's college hoops with about six minutes to go. One seed South Carolina, edging four-seat Maryland, 57 to 56. The winner of this game will face two-seat Duke, who already eliminated three-seat North Carolina, 47 to 38 earlier today, and they'll head on to the elite eight. Other WNBA or College Women's Hoops News is that UConst,

Paige Beckers confirmed today that she does plan to enter the 2025 WNBA draft. We'll head over to the NBA where the Grizzlies have parted ways with head coach Taylor Jenkins after six seasons. They feel like he lost the locker room over the course of the season. Making the change now will help mitigate how they actually finish the season. So they're naming assistant Tomas Isalo as their interim head coach. Hornet Star Lamella Ball will miss the rest of the season as he undergoes two minor procedures to address ankle and wrist issues. In the NFL, the Ravens have reached the three-year contract extension with head coach

John Harbaugh in college football. Colorado coach Dion Sanders has earned a five-year $54 million contract extension, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the country. And in golf, round two of the Houston Open was suspended due to inclement weather. But Scotty Schaeffler finished his round, and he's at the top of the leaderboard at 11 under par overall.

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 did we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band before Jonas Brothers. This is how you guys remember it going down?

Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubb's 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 at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lennar 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.
