Covino & Rich: Pete Crow-Armstrong’s Babe Ruth take is the DUMBEST conspiracy in sports | August 4


Pete Crow-Armstrong went on Kristin Cavallari’s podcast, got asked for an unpopular opinion, and said the Babe Ruth never existed theory is one he actually likes. By the next morning every sports headline had him down as a full blown denier. Covino and Rich play the tape, break down what context does to a joke in 2026, and then spend a half hour hunting for a conspiracy dumber than that one.
Flat earth, the moon landing, the frozen envelope, Nolan Ryan at 108, the Avril Lavigne clone, dinosaurs getting shrink wrapped, and Rich’s sincere belief that giants walked the earth while archaeologists quietly hide the bones. Iowa Sam plays skeptic and gets buried for it.
Then Kevin Durant defends joining the Warriors and takes half the NBA down with him, including Clay Thompson, who publicly asks him what the problem is. Jon Bernthal says he does not trust grown adults who take naps, which turns into a full hour on trust: no social media footprint, changing your phone number twice, never seeing Star Wars, and the girl who told Covino she loved Incubus and pronounced it wrong.
Plus Yordan Alvarez is quietly holding the triple crown and nobody has said a word, Taylor Trammell trots out a home run that got caught at the wall, and Dan Beyer runs the numbers on the richest running back contract in NFL history.
