dive of theory about April Fools that I'm gonna I'm
gonna hit you within April Fools deep thought to kick
off the show. Then we are going to get to
Freddy Freeman and what is he doing in the shower.
(01:35):
We'll get to that, of course, shak diesel. Like you said,
I hope he's scrubbing his feet because Rich doesn't. Do
you know that? No, I clean my feet. I don't
scrub this. Every shower doesn't use any sort of washcloth,
which I think is that I know you don't either,
Danny j. I think it's weird.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Because we both have rough manly hands. Right, you put
the shower gel on your rough hands and then you
get your heel.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Dude, you got to use us at day, as my
mom would say, use it siecat day, which is a
loofah sponge. But Rich doesn't wash his feet. Freddie Freeman,
Freddie Freeman, I think was washing his feet and something happened. Well,
explain my point was you said you dance in the
SuDS if you take a couple showers a day. If
you take a shower in the morning, how many showers
(02:18):
you take every day? More than you? Apparently he takes
a few one. Okay, yeah, no, but I'm saying, if
all right, I was saying, let me go to the gym.
If I wake up in the morning, I can't function
without you know, clearing out the head, taking a hot shower.
And then if I go to the gym or you know,
go to the sauna at the gym or something like that.
Oh you they don't want to lay in my bed
(02:39):
with my wife with stank ass. No way. So I
think that second shower. I don't think you need to
scrub your feet twice a day. So I told Kevino
Ones that I tiptoe in the sudsy's and you know,
and now he thinks I'm grosser. This guy thinks you
don't have to wash your feet. What a fool believes

card thanks to Tractor Supply. Now we're gonna have an
action pack show. We already established that, but let's kick
it off before we get into game time and torpedo
bats and how bad Rafael Dever sucks. Look, if you're
having a bad day, just think about him right now.
(04:07):
Fifteen for nineteen, Well, no, he's fifteen strikeouts out of
nineteen at bats. I mean, can he get worse than that?
Pretty bad? Fifteen strikeouts in nineteen at bats. That's more
than that's more than Tony Gwinn had in one season
in eighty five or something like that. No, you got
to ask yourself. You've got to ask yourself. Do you
(04:28):
think you, as a regular guy, could really even do
much worse than that? When a player gets that cold,
their numbers are almost out of a regular due. He
doesn't need batting gloves, he needs freezy Freakyes, because he's cold.
Put a scarf on this dude. He needs to come
up with ear muffs. He's so cold. In fact, in
ninety five, as the meme goes, in ninety five, Tony
(04:50):
Gwynn had fifteen strikeouts in five hundred and eighty five
at bats. Tony Gwynn was insane. In twenty twenty five,
Rafael Devers has fifteen strikeouts in nineteen at bats, three
plate appearances. Yeah, I'm not hating the dude. I'm not
hating on him. He's a great player. It's just a
colossal meltdown historically bad. So if you're having a bad day,
just know it's not as bad as that. No, Now,
(05:12):
I want to start with a quick thought about April fools.
What's up your fools, fool? I think it's dead, and
I'll tell you why. I think April Fool's Day and
the whole concept of it is ridiculous. That I'll tell
you why it's fun. Maybe for kiddies. The kiddos listen,
I'm thinking about tonight, I'm coaching the girls softball team.
(05:33):
I may show up with like whiffle balls and whiffle
bats and be like, hey, the league says, well, you know,
for safety reasons, this is what we have to use.
I'm trying to think, like, could I play a little
trick on the kiddies? That's fun?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Right?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah? Like my my sister Grace, she is she works
with school kids, right, like school teachers and everything. And
one of the little kids said, hey, miss Grace, I
made brownies if you want one, And my sister actually
fell for She's like, yeah, I would love one. Oh
he put poop in her hands. No, it was just
(06:05):
they cut out brown ease, brown construction paper, letter ease
in brown paper, and she's like, I got got by
little kids. Well, I think for like little kids is
still fun because what's more rewarding than for a kid
to like make someone laugh, right? That really builds their confidence? Like,
oh man, I'm funny. So my sister thought that was
(06:26):
cute for kids. I think it's good. It builds a
kid's confidence, is fun.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's not good for gamblers either. I zeld my booky
earlier today a whole bunch of money on Tiger Woods
for the Masters.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
That's funny, that's funny. April Fools, so what look at it?
This one I damped. April Fools stinks And I'll give
you the reason. Number one, it's over. It's over because
you know, no one's gonna do a fake death. That's ridiculous.
Fake pregnancies are insensitive to those that can't get pregnant
(06:57):
or maybe had a miscarriage recently, so I can't do it.
These are all inappropriate, right, yet it still happens, and
you know, any any real let's be honest, like terrible prank.
No one's gonna want to do it. The repercussions are bad. Now.
I think we live in a world now where every
day we're navigating this. It used to be once a
(07:19):
year where it's like, let's say we're gonn trick someone.
Now every day I'm like, wait, is there something under
the pyramids? Oh? I was tricked. I heard his tomble Roan.
The story was yesterday hit me Triangle chocolates last week,
and he goes, you know, Bronni scored fifty two in
the G League.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yeah, we didn't know because the stat looked official. It
was like one of those official memes stats.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
There was a stat like rappit yees yeah, and I'm like,
I'm not saying this anywhere. Danny goes, oh, hold on,
I just checked. I got got. I thought there was
a torpedo glove in the works based on the memes
I saw. Did you see that? And which one of
us are watching the G League each night? Exactly? We
don't know.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
So yeah, you have to research all these stupid memes,
even the stats.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yeah, everything, because you just don't know. So many times
you like, do you see this fight's happening And you're like, no,
that fight's not happening. It's nonsense. So every single day,
every single day, you are navigating social media, You're going
on Instagram and your buddy will be yo, look at
this girl I'm talking to and you're like, yeah, dude,
she's AI. You're an idiot, she's not even you're talking
(08:17):
to a dude. Probably, So I think every day we
are now accustomed to navigating the waters now, I don't
want to be the others work fake news, not necessarily
that just a lot of nonsense on social media that
you cipher through every day, to the point that what
is April Fools then just another day? Every day someone's
out there trying to fool you. Maybe it makes April
(08:40):
Fool's Day just more challenging, like to catch someone off
guard is even tougher as a result. But you're right,
I think I don't even think it's that that killed
April Fool's Day, Rich, if you're saying it's dead, I
think it's the fact that people started doing like death
announcements and fake pregnancies and birth announcements and things like that.
The fact that became like sort of low brown, insensitive
(09:03):
sort of ruined it for everybody, and it made you
question the rules of it. I really think when you're
a kid, like you said, it's fun, and now that
we're grown ups, you realize that they're either mean or
again maybe it's alive and well. With kids, everything's holiday. Yeah,
every day as an adult, you like may Day, little
may baskets. You know, you guys just all made me
(09:24):
realize the reality of it. Adults deal with so much
bs on a regular basis, so many fools. I was
gonna say, I don't have time for people trying to
trick me. And I also, if you do trick me,
I'm gonna punch in the notes like I don't. I
don't got time for you to be playing tricks. And
most adults, most adults in a stress, trying to pay
their mortgage, looking at their bank account, you know, picking
their kids up a dance class, to go to softball,
(09:45):
to go to baseball, cooking dinner. You know, they got
time to be tricked. You know what would be cool, though,
if you just subtly drop something like yo, Rich, yeah, man, Yeah,
we're gonna talk about Woody Johnson later. By the way,
do you hear about the show Paradise? Yeah, they canceled
season two those and just let it sit, yeah, I
and Rich repeats it to someone else, Gotti and.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Rich morning shows. I liked it when I was hosting
morning shows on hip hop radio stations. People aren't thinking
about the date when they first wake up, so on
morning shows you could get people and kind of do
it subtle too.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I remember, but social media is such a reminder all
the time is hard to forget.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
True, Well, this right before social media was a big deal.
I remember pulling a stunt where I told my morning crew,
I say, here's what we're gonna do, and I had
the turntable guy in on it too. I said, no
matter what song we're playing, let's come back and announce
it as a different artist and just all be in unison.
So Ashanti would be on the air and we'd come
back and we'd be like Q one on four seven
(10:46):
it is six forty eight AM and right there with
some rock him, classic old school and we did it
for every single song.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
People were losing their damn minds. The phone lines were little,
what's going on is this voice track? Like they lost
their minds.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
And then you know, as the morning went on, people
thought about the date in the calendar.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Oh, I see what they're doing. So is the question
is has social media ruined April Fool's Day? Is it over?
Because every day's April Fool's Day. We're always trying to
trick somebody who're always getting tricked. There's always fake articles
and fake news or is it just something that was
was it always? Is it always was for the kids,
Danny during during the NFL draft build up during the
(11:30):
NFL free agency, How many times when we send each
other memes do we have to double check because it
might just be like a funny meme someone made up,
like oh, Aaron Rodgers signed here, And you're like, you
know who does this all the time? My mom my
mom will send me something like Richie, did you see
who's on the Raiders now? And I'm like, mom, well, no.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
There are a lot of fan websites now for different
NFL teams and they report stuff that the.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Is gonna happen. But it Yeah, that is so bad,
and I quickly unfollow those sites. Yeah, and there's a
graph that goes along with it. It's so misleading. Have
you seen the fake graphics about your team having a
Netflix movie or show? Oh yeah, they have done that
for just about every team, right, every Yeah, Danny's exactly right.
It's all these trade rumors like that's not happening. And
(12:15):
you go up to comment Nolan, Aaron, I don't know
they did it. Yeah, you read the comments too, and
people are so mad. They're like a race delete this
account now worse. So, yeah, you're right, rich that does
put a little damper on the old April Fools fun
that we used. Not so much a damper. I'm just
saying we deal with this every day. So it's like
like this morning, and do you see what President Trump did?
This is interesting. He's doing a lot with the tariffs.
(12:38):
You could be a fan, you could hate the guy.
I don't care. This is just the news. Though. Donald
Trump pushed back all his tariff stuff till tomorrow because
he wanted there to be no confusion. He actually said,
I don't want to do this on April Fool's Day
because you don't want to leave anything possibly up in
the air, like O is that true or not? So
he actually pushed all those things till tomorrow. About Yeah,
(13:02):
I forget about him. What about former President George Bush,
who said, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice.
Can't get fooled the game. Can't get fooled the game.
I mean, one of the best.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Quotes, shame on, shame on you.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
It fooled me.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We can't get fooled again. I've always said that. I've
always said, can't get fooled again. It can't get fooled again.
So hey, I think you're onto something rich. Every day
we're navigating these stupid waters. So maybe the fun spin
on it is it's even tougher to get people with
their trained eye in twenty twenty five. You know, back
(13:40):
when we were kids, the only thing that you questioned, like, oh,
I don't know if that's real is when you'd be
at the supermarket or at your grandma's house and she
would have like those magazines like the Sun and it'd
be like wolf Boy. That was the only trickery of
the eighties and nineties. My grandma's Mexicans, they discovered bat
(14:01):
Boy every two weeks's tabloids, sat Boy, color tabloids. It
was tabloids in line at Shoprider, Wegmans, around the Sun,
the Mirror of the Sun, all those. But Sam, that's
our every day when we're scrolling on TikTok, Instagram, Facebook,
we are now scrolling through the Mirror and the Sun
and all that in just the current form. So when
(14:22):
April Fool's Day comes around, I'm just like another day.
Speaker 5 (14:26):
I saw some like transfer portal news on Twitter, and
I'm like, I don't even know if I should believe
this on today, Like just wait, I see if other
people pick it up.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I even saw like Adam Schefter reporting on some stuff
and I'm like, he's above this, right, Like I didn't
even know if I should be believing the real people.
I think what you should do just to get one
of your buddies is to drop some stuff that you
know they're bound to repeat. But don't tell them it's fake,
and don't make it real like big news, because then
the big news is obvious, Like you're right, yeah, dude,
(14:55):
Raphael Devers, Yeah, man, he's uh. They said he quit
and he's working at Starbucks now, No way, no real.
He says, you couldn't take it anymore.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
And you, guys, I think you talked about this last year,
if not the April Fools. Prior to that, your friends
got you by saying, oh my god, did you mean
to post that?
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh yeah, for that about I remember we were in
the other studio. This is a great April Fools, you
know what. I endorse this one, So for all the
bs you're seeing, this is a really good one because
again harmless and it's really fun. It makes the person panic.
Text all your friends, right and just text them the
following yo, dot dot dot, did you mean to post that.
(15:38):
What are you talking about? Everyone's butt?
Speaker 6 (15:40):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Everyone ever know the butthole is going to clench, like
they start checking their Facebook, their Instagram. What are you
about pages? I forgot about it. It's still alive. You
just gotta be crafty, Danny. That's the one. And you
know what, I'm gonna do that to everyone I know
during this next break and I'll report, you know, let's
see how we do.
Speaker 6 (15:59):
Right.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, Hey, speaking of April Fools being dead or not,
it is alive and well with kiddies. But were you hoping,
Danny g and all the Dodgers fans that when you
heard the Freddie Freeman news that it was an April
Fool's joke, you had to be hoping like that can't
be real. I hope it's not that bad because apparently
he got hurt in a freaky deeck embarrassing not like
(16:23):
a freak accident, you know, in a weird way in
the shower. And we're gonna discuss what happened to Freddie Freeman,
what happened to his ankle and more embarrassing injuries here
on the show. All right, so start thinking about him more.

April Fools is over. It is, And then during commercial
he's there pranking everybody, laughing like an idiot with one caveat.
I know you called me an idiot, like it all
over Meanwhile, the whole time, instead of going over what
(18:14):
we're discussing, he's like laughing to himself because he's pranking everybody.
Just proves the maturity of our ship. So while social
media on a day to day essentially is April Fools
because it's all just nonsense. Oh Aliens Cavina, broh, it's fake. H.
You see what's up to the pyramids. Every day we're
getting bamboozled, so April Fools is no different. However, there
(18:38):
is one prank that remains, and Danny g thanks for
reminding me of my own prank. We did this a
couple of years ago, and I redid it and I
still got people I almost got my wife. She's like,
what you just text people in your life?
Speaker 3 (18:52):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (18:53):
Did you mean to post that everyone? My buddy Mike
just hit me up. He goes what where He was
a way to take up his kids from school, and
he said his heart and stomach dropped, like post what
you're gonna cause the guy have an exodent. Yeah, it's
the path you just pandic.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Everybody thinks about the skeletons deep down inside their phone.
And then the problem is people can screen grab even
a mistake, so it lives on forever.
Speaker 1 (19:17):

of April fools, that joke does work, Rich, And it
wasn't a joke as far as what happened last night
or over the weekend. I'm not sure when it happened.
(20:48):
I just know that Freddy Freeman didn't play yesterday. Freddie
Freeman missed the Los Angeles Dodgers series opener against the
Braves on Monday for rather unexpected reason.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Freeman had a
little mishap, a little mishappy getting into the shower, which
caused his surgically repaired right ankle to swell a little bit.
So that's the really downside of the story. And so
the Dodgers only, the Dodgers only won six one exactly.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I know, well, Yo, Freeman to start the season has
been on a roll. Oh, so it was bad news
going into the game.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
You don't want any previous injury to be reaggravated, right,
so let's talk about it. I know you rich have
a few shower stories of your own, but hm, embarrassing injuries,
and like I said, the fact that he reinjured, this
is what makes it a bad story. We hope he
comes back, we hope he's all right. I'm a Yankees guy,
(21:45):
but I don't want to see Freddy Freeman you know, hurt.
We don't know how long he's out for. Right, they're
letting him recoup a little bit, and they're gonna see
I haven't heard any updates yet. Day to day is
day to day. So he always wants to play. We
know that we saw in the World series. But how
her is he? Who knows? But he slipped. So let's
(22:06):
get to your phone calls, and truthfully, whatever I hear today,
I'm not gonna believe anyway, I know, right eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, we got Danny g on Standby.
We got Iowa Sam with all your favorite fool songs
on this Tuesday, he's on the Ones and Tues we
got Dan Bayer and Spotty tell us the story that
you told me? Where don't you want to vacation? I was,
(22:28):
we're trying to get over if there's kids listening, Uh,
I was in the shower with an ex girlfriend because
we were sitting there, We're scubbing each other down because
I could have reached my back. You were saving water,
each other's feet. You're scrubbing each other's feet. Yeah, So
I remember my ex was like, let's go in the shower,
and in my mind I'm like, oh, well, someone's always cold.
It's the wrong type of wet. There's so many wrong
(22:50):
things about it. Usually the guy that's cold. I'll take
Cavido's joke. You know those like shower gloves your your
girl has like to scrub herself. Cavino's like, he puts
those on as he's cold.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Yeah, we talked about how your wife uses a Keith
Hernandez glove.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
Remember, Yeah, So so someone's always called it's the wrong
type of wet. The circumstances, it sounds like, you know,
hot and sexy never fun in the shower. But I'm
on vacation, I'm in my twenties. I was with an
X and I must have pulled the Freddy Freeman because
I was like, woo. I slipped and you know the
(23:29):
woo vision on the fawcet where before you go to
the shower, like to fill up the tub, that faucet
at the bottom. Yeah, I fell and scraped my whole back,
like up my back, and I was like, I'm bleeding
from my back, and I'm trying to decide like do
I continue, Like what do I do? I think we're
(23:49):
gonna call this a day, but till this day, I
have a scar on my back and it's from a
failed Oh I thought that was a tramp stamp. Now
that from a failed attempt at shower loving right above
your ass crack. No, that's not what it is. Oh
so it's next to a butterfly tattooed and it's right
(24:10):
right up about Wow. Yeah, I remember that though. I
remember Rich had like his back bandage and he told
the story of like this failed moment of romance. And
you know, that's what makes the story even funnier because
you were trying to be all sexy about it and
then something goes wrong like that. Remember the movie Van
Wilder when he oils up the girl and they catch
on fire and he like slips off her out the
(24:31):
window or something. Dude, I actually have a similar thing.
I was trying to get all romantic my college days
and what did you really know about romance?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Right?
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Like lighting a candle? So I was trying to like
a cant and I dropped all the hot wax all
over me. I was like, God, my fingers started blistering up,
and the girl's like I think I'm in a leave. Nah,
it's okay. My finger like sizzled and melted away, and
I remember like being in so much pain, and she
did leave swear to got a true story, which made
it even more embarrassing. But that's what we're getting at, Like,
(25:00):
you're stupid embarrassing injuries based on Freddie Freeman, And it
doesn't have to be in the world of sports, but
you hear them all the time. Wasn't it Kevin Brown
who punched the wall?
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Right?
Speaker 1 (25:10):
There's been a ton of these freak injuries in baseball, Yeah,
oh baseball especially, But you hear about him in sports
all the time. It could be in your own personal life.
I remember I was I was like a like an
early teen, like thirteen years old maybe right, also the
same size you are now, same size am right now
hitting bombs? And you know, I was playing around in
(25:30):
the backyard and dad was doing some sort of like
I don't know, working on the patio or something, and
there was all these planks of wood just laying there.
And what do you do when you see like little
bars of wood, You just like try to balance on it, right, la, La,
I'm trying to Well, you're a huge Mary lou Rettenfant.
I was a huge gymnast guy back in these days,
you know. And I was trying to do my best
(25:50):
balancing act. And dude, sure enough, I'm walking just just
just daydreaming, like who cares, just walking in the backyard,
and I'm walking down this piece of wood and I
stepped dead on it. The nail went right through the shoe,
right through a shoe and through my foot, and I
had to pull it out of goud like your Marfa. Yeah,
I went right through my foot. But why though, because
(26:11):
I was an airhead or a balloon head, just like
floating around in my backyard, bouncing on his piece of
wood like I'm Mary the Rettin, and I went right
through my foot. Dude, I remember a story. I remember
a story cause you know you told about your dad,
Big Steve. Oh, it's the best story this. I'm You're
lucky your dad didn't die. This is the best one,
so I gotta tell it. Thanks for reminding me again,
(26:33):
same back here. Accidents. That's what's an accident, same backyard.
My buddy Gus was over the house part of the story,
and my dad was by the grill. Every red remembers
their dad by the grill getting ready to cook something
for you and your buddy he's like, hey, hey, gus,
what do you want a hamburger? Because like, yay, they
had you like it cooked. Meanwhile, parents never care, they
cook it the same way at the time. So my
dad's chopping the hamburger meet and he's trying to get
(26:56):
the hamburger patties, I guess separated, and all of a
sudd Dude, he's just chopping away with the knife, and
all of a sudden, I hear ah, and I'm thinking,
April fools, what's going on. He's like ah ah. And
no one sees their dad like cry or act in
this way ever, right, So I'm like, I have to
be like fourteen thirteen years old. I'm looking at him
(27:17):
and my buddy guts, like what's going on. He's like
ah ah, And dude, he goes stumbling down the driveway
bleeding everywhere because he stabbed himself in the leg while
chopping the meat. So he's chopping the meat and slipped
stands himself right in the leg. Bro. And I'll never
forget that because I thought he was messing around. Like
when you see your dad reacting that way, you're like
(27:38):
dad hitting right now, you know you've probably at some
point will hurt yourself trying to do something for your kids.
I remember I got a whiffle ball stuck in a tree.
I don't know how, but you know, like you, a
full tree whiffleball got stuck up there. I go, Dad,
He goes, hold on on it, Richie. And my dad
was wearing flip flops or has he called him in
the eighties thongs? Your dad were thongs before Cisco made
(28:01):
him cool. So my dad's wearing all my thongs. I'm like, Dad,
don't call him that anymore. Please. Your your dad thinks
the Cisco song is about his shoes, showing off my
sixty thongs. My dad in flip flops, I'm sorry, thongs,
jumps up to get my whiffle ball out of the
(28:23):
tree lands and turns his ankle, and he was mad
at me, like your son of a man because of
you and your stupid whiffle ball. My dad's ankles all
taped up because he tried to get the whiffle ball.
But when it comes to sports, I have a few
I want to throw out there. But let's get the
phones going. The most interactive show on Fox Sports Radio
April Fool's Day. We're talking about foolish behavior, the weird
(28:47):
freak injuries a la Freddie Freeman missing a couple of
games because he slipped in the shower. Sammy Sosa sneezing.
We've all heard this, right, Yeah, it's a famous one,
and because we all know that feeling where like you're
sot to sneeze in or.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Not, but.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
My neck like his neck right?
Speaker 3 (29:05):
My neck?
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Am I back?
Speaker 8 (29:06):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Heals you? Yeah, he was out for a while because
of that. When I was a little and pulled I
think he pulled a neck muscle or something in the
mid mid sneeze. Uh, when I was a little kid
growing up on the East Coast in the eighties and nineties.
Everyone remembers this, but it was a big, big story
back East when Bobby Oheita got his finger off with
(29:29):
hedge clippers by mistake. He's why would Bobby all hate
to be trimming his own hedges and bushes at his yard?
But don't remember that story. Bobby O Hater totally cuts
his finger off, totally remember that. Let's get involved. April
Fool's Day eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox. These
are true stories we tell though we're not messing around,
and it all is from the Freddie Freeman story of
(29:52):
him re injuring his ankle that he had surgery on
slipping in the shower. What up, dB.
Speaker 9 (29:58):
I don't know if you guys I mean, were of
the same age, but I knew a lot of older
guys who are missing a digit or two like my uncle.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It was not, and I felt like it was more common.
My grandfather had nine fingers. My grandfather's fingers were all
mangled too. He was a butcher, yes, so his fingers
were all sliced and butchered up and weird looking. My
uncle Harry did not have all ten fingers.
Speaker 4 (30:24):
Ten.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
My grandfather was missing his left pointer. And the answer
was this is how people operated so differently. Nineteen thirties
in Brooklyn, him and his brother were chopping wood. His
brother cut his finger off and I remember asking him, like, Grandpa,
what did you do with the finger? He goes, oh,
we throw it out like you threw it out. Oh yeah,
(30:45):
just threw it at His brother ran away from home
because he was scared. So his brother ran away for
a week and he's like, oh, no, nine fingers, Dan Byron,
that's such a funny observation. Is the loss of digits
was like, you know, everyone had so much more. Kind
an uncle Carl who was missing digit.
Speaker 10 (31:00):
Yeah, he was like he worked with cars, but the
rumor was that he kind of I think he did collections. Sure,
so I think something happened. I think he somebody should
land on your fingers. One of my best buddies Celtics
didning cover his dad.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
One of my best buddy's dad was missing a finger, right,
and my family happened to be there when it happened.
It's just a small world sort of thing. The families
grew up together. And his dad was running his finger
his hand across a chain link fence and the ring
got caught in the fence and ripped his finger off
and he had to get it removed. Yeah, buddy, you
(31:38):
see on a car or something. No, I just run
in with his hand, uh, going across the fence. Very sensitive, dude.
I have no idea how it happened, but I know
my buddy's dad had a finger missing. So think about
more freak injuries, especially in sports. Like Rich said, there's
plenty of stories and sports that we can get to
and we just hope Freddie Freeman's eye even though the
(31:58):
Dodgers are just fine. But first, oh they only they
might I just other research, they might only win one
hundred and twenty two games this year if he's out
a few more. Yeah, damn Bayer, what's going on with
for me?
Speaker 9 (32:09):
Never stopped him from smoking though, right, you know, like
doesn't matter how many digits we're gonna We're gonna make
that work.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
In the car too, with the windows up.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
The NFL had a lot of news makers today, especially
when it comes to the rules tush push that's been
pushed to May. No decision has been made on the
play made famous by the Philadelphia Eagles. They talked about
it for about thirty to forty minutes. Sixteen teams reportedly
against the tush push. More conversations coming up in May. Hey, Dan,
(32:39):
can I ask you like a really dumb question.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
I watch football every week just like everybody else, aside
from the pylon aspect of what's happening, Like what's the
big risk? Like why is this such? I'll tell you
why were the football? I'll tell you what answer? Yeah,
I want to know. If you want a really good
follow up, I'll promote one of the other shows here
on Fox Sports Radio. I was very pro push push
until I saw LeVar Arrington, so to give his angle
on it, yeah, being a former football player. Yeah, because
everybody could do it if they have the right players.
(33:04):
That's the one angle. So it's like, well, then what
doesn't everyone do it? More about not just the pylon,
like the integrity of like you know, the offense or
his defense. Like once a running back his forward progress
is stopped, that's the end of the play. That's football.
So when you just get guys pushing and pushing, it
sort of takes away. Okay, almost like the integrity. I
like that more than like is it where's all the injuries?
(33:27):
Is it really that big of a deal because we
don't see it that often.
Speaker 9 (33:29):
This yeah, this was the commissioner's messaging earlier today.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
There are safety issues that are being considered. In that case,
we have very little data from it. So there you go.
Here's what's weird about it. Pylons happen all the time.
What about people running full speed at each other in kickoffs?
That's not like an injury risk. That's why I don't
get it. But what riches to explained here makes more
sense to me. There's more to it than that.
Speaker 9 (33:51):
All right, you thought, And I honestly when you started
when you said pylons, I thought you meant like pylon
cam and the.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
Orange things that are in the end zone.
Speaker 9 (33:58):
But you were saying, yes, yes, just get stop those
two guys from pushing Jalen Hurts in the back. And
then it's just a normal quarterback sneak, which nobody is
saying should be banned. Touchback on the kickoffs going to
be moved out to the thirty five yard line. Both teams,
by the way, in regular season overtime games will get
the football, but still just a ten minute session. Line
(34:20):
to game measurements will be made by Hawkeye technology. Bye
bye to the Chain Gang, and then the Lion's proposal
to receive the playoffs was also tabled until their May meetings.
A couple of other NFL notes, Niners owner Jed York
admitted the reason they let seventeen players go from last
year's team was because of the contract they planned to
give quarterback Brock Perty. Jeffrey Lourie, the Eagles owner, hinted
(34:43):
at a contract extension for Nick Sirianni. Defensive Linmancalaias Campbell
signing a one year deal with the Arizona Cardinals, and
there will be three games on Christmas Day this season.
Christmas falls on a Thursday. First two will be on Netflix,
the nightcap will be on Amazon. Maryland expected to hire
Texas A and M's Buzz Williams as their next men's
basketball coach, met shutting down pitcher Shamanaya for two weeks.
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Sorry, Rich, back to you, guys. I was hoping that
was a April Fools but it's not. You know, that's
it doing just fine, looking good. Yesterday he saw my dude,
polar Bear Peede Alonzo with a oppo Grand Salami. Yeah,
and you didn't want him played every game last year
and you had this guy on the fence. I never
said that on now I like him over the fence
(35:24):
with a bomb. Good for him. Well, hey, we got
all your phone calls and feedback. Next April Fool's Day,
freak injuries, Freddie Freeman slipped in the shower. So let's
go over some of your favorites, some of the weirdest
ones all next right here, Fox Sports Radio.

We just know it was a little mishap that he
slipped in a shower and reinjured the surgically repaired ankle.
You guys remember him hobbling around last year. Of course,
his swing is still mint, but his foot's a little
jacked up. So other crazy embarrassing sports injuries or just
(36:50):
injuries that you remember. I got three, but I'm going
to the phone. Yeah, let's save them. See if anyone
else had some boise and Caleb, you're on a convino
on retro. What's up?
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Man?
Speaker 3 (37:00):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 7 (37:01):
How are you guys doing?
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Good man? What'll tell you? Mine?
Speaker 3 (37:03):
What up?
Speaker 4 (37:03):
Man?
Speaker 3 (37:03):
All right?
Speaker 7 (37:04):
The first time caller, I got two for you, and
they're both involving holidays, which makes them that much more unfortunate.
So Scotti Scheffler got class charge in his hand making
Ravio on New Year's Oh terrible miss missed the first
major I believe. And then secondly it's a Jason Pierre
Paul the football player. He blew some fingers off with
a firework accident on the fourth of July.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
He is the prime example. I remember always being like,
how could he an NFL player, be the guy that
holds fireworks? Boom? Totally remember that. But he made me
think of didn't Derek Rose cut his fingers slicing an
apple or something like that, and he was out for
a little while. No, I just didn't have an avocado hand,
remember that whole thing. He just suffered from far more
severe injuries that people forget about that.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
Do you know?
Speaker 3 (37:46):
That's the thing?
Speaker 6 (37:47):
Sam?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
At emergency rooms, there's avocado hand where people when they're
trying to make walker slice and avocado they put in
their palm slip and the people go into the hospital
with a slice in their palm, And most of the
time it's some idiots trying to slice an avocado. All right,
Dave Virginia, what's up?
Speaker 3 (38:05):
Yeah, thank you, it's first time caller. Yeah. When I
was a college sophomore, I broke a risk sleeping.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Sleeping that's like right on your day off.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
So yeah, well so when you're when you're on the
when you're in the dorm, they would sell you this kid.
It would turn the two bunk beds in the dorm
into two like upper bunks. You're like six feet off
the floor. And I went to sleep one night, rolled
out of bed, sell six feet to the top floor.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Broke my wrists. Andy and Montana, what's up Andy? Andy? Well,
but then again, though, think of all the room for
activities he had. What's up, buddy?
Speaker 6 (38:45):
You guys were awesome. Hey man, just letting you know
you got a lot of fans here in Great Falls, Montana.
All right, this is a dumb one years ago. Me
and my buddy get down and loading his pickup truck
and I'm leaning up. I'm doing the drunk lean up
against his tailgate and unbeknownst to me, he starts to
raise the tailgate got me up on my toes. So,
needless to say, three days later, after frozen pees every
(39:09):
day you got that's.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Yeah, killer Weggie had there. Have you ever seen that
video of the girl She's trying to be all sexy
like posing in a tree and she falls but the
tree holds onto her beating bathing suit bottom and she's like, oh,
I mean there's a million. Yeah, I'm thinking of one
in particular. Let's go to Nate Dog. What's up, Nate? Oh, Hi,
what's up, Bud?
Speaker 4 (39:29):
Hey guys, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Hey buddy?
Speaker 4 (39:31):
Yeah, I had one when I was about fifteen. My
dad was building in the garage my sister's bed frame
and my girlfriend was come picking me up and that
was the first time they met. And he comes out
of the garage with the nail and all three of
us and three of his fingers.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Every time I think of a nailing someone, you're a
picture of mister Larson from Heavy Gilmour the nail on
his head, who played a Jaws right from the Bond movies. Yes,
but uh again, I have three that you're going to
want to hear for sure, because I think they're my
favorite ones. They're horrible, They're horrible, but they were freak injuries.
(40:11):
But we have time for one more from let's say
two phone calls, and we'll take yours to UH to
cap off this great natural Fools conversation trip. What's up Vegas?
Speaker 8 (40:21):
Hey, Hey, good afternoon, gentleman. I always privileged to listen
and talk to y'all.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
Thanks.
Speaker 8 (40:25):
I got UH too. Remember when Jeff Kent was sitting
with his cleaning his truck, the Washington Truck, and was
popping wheelies that came out. That's how he got hurt.
And then the second one, This was a lady I
worked with at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut shooting on medical.
She came in one day and we heard she was
in bad Actually she had both of her hands in casts,
(40:46):
and we said what happened? She said, I was using
a miner saw and I cut the tips off my
left fingers and was like, well, how'd you do the
other side? She said, My husband came to help me
in want to know how I hurt myself? I showed
him and she did it again.
Speaker 1 (40:58):
Oh my good, that's the worst something. Wow, I know it.
We'll take Covino, well, I want to hear your top three.
We'll take some more feedback and we'll move on. Talk,
some NFL, talk, some NBA, A lot of fun here
April Fools. Here on Fox Sports Radio, Covino and Rich
