Speaker 2 (01:20):
News, breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Hey guys, I know you're gonna get into the NBA action.
Maybe overshadowing last night's action was the injury to Christaps
Porzingis of the Boston Celtics. Scary situation, but the Celtics
have said that Porzingis has a calf strain, so not
as serious, but he will not play in Game five
against the Heat tomorrow. But it was that injury that
(01:47):
had us all kind of like uh oh right now,
being diagnosed as a strain in his calf, officially listed
as out tomorrow against the Miami Heat for Game five.
But that's considering good news from what we thought it
maybe could have been.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
In the series is three to one. Take it, ease, relax, exactly,
cruise into the next round at the NBA Playoffs. Cost
growing up, Dan Bayer take it a yeah, I mean
the NBA Playoffs. I feel like it is over a
two to three month period. It feels like that at least,
so well, we'll have plenty of time for poor Zingis.
To poor zingis poor zingis to nurse that little calf
(02:22):
injuries got going on? Yeah, so good news to start
off the show. I hope you had a Celtics thunder
Nuggets sort of night. Some big games tonight we have
to go over And speaking of the NBA, we have
some shacked Diesel, Whack Diesel trivia, some chances to win,
some CNR prizes, multiple choice trivia. We do it every
Tuesday again a CNR Swiggy CNR and FSR steamless seel
(02:46):
water bottle up for grabs. So lots of fun to
get to. We're gonna talk about weight gain and the
appropriate ways to find out how people are losing weight.
There's a big story, believe it or not, involving Barbara
streisand but we're gonna get passed. Is that a first
on Fox Sports Radio Barbara streisand News. Well, we'll get
(03:06):
to uh oh oh oh oh zampig. We'll get to
shack diesel. Like you said, there's a you know that's
O'reiley's right, oh Rea, the theme stones oh oh oh
oh zampig. Oh, I made my own, I made my own.
We're gonna also talk about when first pitches go wrong
in sports. What's your first thought. We'll get to all this,
(03:29):
but before we get to some knowledge that Charles Barkley
dropped last night during the NBA playoffs, I do wonder
if Lakers fans are more aggravated that they were in
every game, in fact, seventy percent of the series they
had the lead. Well, Danny g said he felt happy
(03:49):
about the fact that they just put up a fight,
But that's what makes it aggravating. From me outside looking in,
I was like, you had a chance to win every game.
I listen as a forty nine Ers fan, Danny d
they lost two Super Bowls in the last five years
to the Chiefs. Both they were up by double digits
in the fourth quarter. I almost feel like I rather
Mahomes had gone off and beat me by twenty one.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Colvino, when I said that to you last night about
putting up a fight, I meant in last night's game,
because you could have easily come in. Nobody's ever come
back from a three to zero deficit in the NBA playoffs.
So my point was, I'm glad they didn't just mail
it in in that closeout game. But as far as
the rest of the series, it is super frustrating that
they had so many leads and just couldn't hang on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It was a battle at the end of yesterday's game,
for sure. If you watched the last two to three
minutes of that game, it was a nail. Body. You're like,
oh my goodness, the battle. The Lakers fell short. Man,
they couldn't finish this. And I know you're gonna say, rich,
is it the Nuggets were just the better team? The
Nuggets won? Or did the Lakers blow it? Well, there's
a few layers here, and we said it yesterday. When
(04:51):
you lose to Mahomes in the NFL, do you say,
oh man, we blew it or did Mahomes just win?
I look at it like, if the Lakers do a
few adjustments, you lost. I get it. You lost four
to five to the defending NBA champs, but you're so close.
Like it's almost frustrating that each game you could argue, Wow,
(05:15):
that was the Lakers game and they blew it. Oh
they let it slip away. There's that one game in
that series where you're like, oh man, they they just
got their ass whopped. It wasn't the case. So it's like,
revamp what you just couldn't well game. Dwight Howard went
public last night saying, hadn't they disassembled that twenty twenty
(05:35):
team and kept some of those big guys, they would
have won three rings in a row. That was sort
of Howard's answer. Okay, I'm I'm not saying Dwight Howard's answer.
He's saying that that team that they had would have
competed stronger with this team.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I mean, what do you what are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Dang yesterday I brought his name up along with JaVale McGee.
I do think they need some more size to throw
some guys in there to tire the joker out. They
don't have the size they they had when they won
in Orlando.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That was a fun team, Green Kuzma, that was a
solid squad. Yeah, I just get the sense though in
a close game, maybe we're just you know, living in
the moment because of what they did to the Lakers.
But you know what, it's the fourth quarter, Emma Holmes
has the ball, or back in the nineties, Yankees had
a slim lead and their Sandman hits and you're like
(06:24):
it's over. You just get the sense that it just
sort of over when it was back and forth. I
felt I did get that feeling that every time the
Lakers scored, I was like, oh, yes, the Nuggets scored,
it just seemed like, well they score, like it felt
Caruso wouldn't have missed that lay up at the end
of the game. It felt like it felt like it
came very easy. Just felt like it came very easy
(06:47):
to the Nuggets when they were going basket for basket
at the end like that, the Lakers were manufacturing two
points in passing and moving. Meanwhile, the Nuggets just foul
ways to quick, too quick too.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
There was one point in the third quarter where I
saw some Lakers tugging on their shorts, kind of hunched
over a little bit, breathing hard. That elevation does get
to players, you know that don't obviously play there as
their home court, and you think about it whenever you've
gone to like your local gym or just out outside
on a court and you're playing ball, running up and
(07:18):
down the court. I don't think NBA players get enough credit,
the ones who play a lot of minutes for all
that running you do do, and so when you're doing
it in that elevation. Man, I could understand why sometimes
in the third quarter of those games in Denver the
opposition looks so beat.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, Lakers put up a fight, They're done. Zough. We
got to congratulate the Nuggets from moving forward. I mean
he came up big, Murray came up big, and they
beat the Lakers. Moving forward. That elevation is no joking, No,
I mean, look at what it's done to the Colorado Rockies,
you know, with home runs exacting averages. But I even
have a story where I went to Red Rocks to
(07:55):
do an event in the radio world and I had
to interview a band backstage. I had to walk up
and down the stairs of that venue, and I remember thinking, like, dude,
out of shape, am I Yeah, that's the same as
playing basketball. No, but I'm saying I was winded walking
up and downstairs in Denver at high altitude altitudes at
Red Rock. So can you imagine, of course? Yeah, at
(08:17):
it point is this noticeable? It really is? So some
fun basketball yesterday and a common theme on our show
Just in Life. Remember back in the day, let's take
it back on a Tuesday. How would you get your jokes?
You would get your jokes when you're old, dirty uncle
would come over and you'd tell you a dirty joke
and you'd debate whether or not you'd pretend to understand
(08:40):
it or not in front of your parents, you know
what I mean? Like, hey, thanks uncle Mario, thanks for
telling me that joke. Right, you would just get joking
and then you would share it with your friends of school,
or you'd buy a dirty joke book at school. Right,
And it's is funny to think about, right at the
little book fair or something like that. Now, we get
our jokes from memes. For the most Parkers, who's telling jokes?
(09:04):
Who's telling jokes? Nobody? We get them from memes. Our
punchlines are in meme form. You know what's proof of this?
And a lot of times so are the headlines that
we report. What's proof of this? Is on that dumb
reality show The Circle. Yeah, they were all asked to
tell the joke. They didn't know anything. Everyone's like, it's
the lost art of telling it joke. Everyone knew someone,
everyone time someone, anytime your your grandpappy or an uncle
(09:28):
came over, a cousin came over, they would share some
joke with you. Ah. Yeah, there's probably some racist joke
back in the day and you loved it and you
shared it. That's the lost art. Because we get our
humor and our jokes from memes, and like I said
here on this show, you also get your news courtesy
of memes. And this meme says it's a picture of
(09:51):
lebron Katie and Curry right for the first time in forever,
For the first time since two thousand and five, the
second round of the playoffs won't have lebron k to
your Curry. Now, this meme is true as far as
I know. That's the punch one. I thought that was
(10:12):
not a joke. I said. We get our news in
the same way news jokes, news and jokes and meme form.
And you're like, wow, that's pretty wild. First time since
two thousand and five. Is this the end of an era? Well,
Charles Barkley, who you know famously two nights ago said
(10:34):
hindsights whatever, had another dudes yesterday. Listen to Sir Charles
last night after.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
The game between Anthony Edwards, Shake Gilders, Alexander Jason Tatum,
Luka Doncik the young Boys of Well, he not in
that conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
He's getting there you.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Know he ain't there. They won twelve games between between
those young guys and they're not knocking on the door,
they're kicking the door down. It's a pleasure to watch.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's a new generation. Yeah, you see it in football.
We've experienced at the past, you know, five six years
with the changing of the guard, like all the guys
we knew for so long playing QB. Like wow, they're
all gone. A lot of these new fings just like that.
It was like miss like this Brady Manning, Breeze, all
the faces, Aaron Rodgers still hanging in there. But there
was almost like how many generations of QB's have you
(11:25):
lived through at this point? No, you live through the
I I'd like to say, I'm two generations of q
QB's deep. I look at generation one. If you're if
you're roughly forty ishue, you live through Montana Elway, Bernie Cozar,
Phil Simms like that eightieth Jim Plunkett. Then you live
through the Manning, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady, that that generation.
(11:48):
Am I missing it? Or did you feel like they
go back to back? It feels like back to Bay.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's like the oldies radio stations that we hear that say,
we play the best of seventies, eighties, nineties and today.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Today Joe Burrs of the World and Homes Homes and
Mark Jackson, all these guys right now with the NBA,
are we starting to see that same sort of thing.
It happens changing of the guard, And you heard Charles
Barkley and what he had to say about it. For
the first time since two thousand and five second round
playoffs want to include the biggest names that we've been
(12:21):
talking about for the past ten fifteen plus years. Well,
you and I John, KD and Curry. You and I
joked about how one of them didn't even make it
out of the playing round, right, So you're right, KD,
Lebron Steph. So again that takes away Well, it depends
how you look at it, hey, changing of the guard,
like we said, that's exciting, or like, man, it's not
(12:42):
the same without these guys. I'm looking at it that
way because to me, they represent the playoffs, right. I
want to see KD, I want to see Curry. I
want to see Lebron at least one of them, some
of them, if not all of them. But again, it's evolution, baby,
But based on that, Based on that, what are some
(13:06):
other things that come to mind that just weren't the
same with Adam. I'll give you an example, all right,
I have a list. So I'm not saying the playoffs
aren't gonna be dope, because they've been dope, and I
think they'll continue to be dope, and we'll be more
familiar with these young players. We'll see what they do
in these big moments, on these big stages, especially without
(13:28):
these old dudes. You know what you're seeing this now
outside the NBA. You're seeing this a lot with star
pitchers in Major League Baseball. The ones that remain are
the tail end of a generation, whether it be Kershaw
hanging in there, Verlander, Scherzer, that there's a there's a
few guys hanging on, still trying to dominate at the
(13:49):
end of their career. But once they're out. Garrett Cole's
like the only guy that's you know, been around for
a man. That doesn't mean it's not good, it's just
isn't the same, Okay. From So based on that, I'll
give you an example and then we'll chop it up.
We'll take your phone calls at A seven seven ninety
nine on Fox at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
(14:11):
I remember in the early two thousands, two thousand teens,
maybe Rich, we'd come back Monday do our radio show
on Series XM. We'd be all pumped about Homeland and
how great it was. Bro, did you watch Homeland, dude? Yeah,
it was good. Homeland for a few seasons, was like yo,
(14:34):
one season. No, really, yeah there was one because there
was some trinkle and trickle of the character. You're like, yo, man,
this show is good. Once Damian Lewis was not on
that show anymore, I gotta tell you I stopped tuning
in because it wasn't the same. I'm not saying it
wasn't good. I'm not saying people didn't care. I'm saying
(14:55):
I didn't get it the same way. I did not think,
you know, I didn't realized that the reason I was
tuning in and glued and intrigued was Damian Lewis. Well,
once he was not on it, I'm like, I don't
care as much.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
One show that was never the same for me was
Fresh Prince of bel Air. Once they changed Ann Viv. No,
for really is not Anne Viv. I could never get it,
could past I couldn't get past it. I mean, I
still love the show, but it bothered me the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So the question is here, The question is not the
same without him. What's your example? Now, you did bring
up Homeland Claire Danes and Mandy Bittang, and they did
like one hundred episodes of that show. Damian Lewis, I
thought it was one. I think it was two seasons.
But and then, like I said, there was a like
a resurgence or something of the character. Maybe I'm thinking
of Billions that he was on, But Damian Lewis, I'm
(15:43):
not saying I'm some huge fan, but the character and
the dynamic he brought to that show is what had
me tuning in. When he wasn't on, I just didn't
care as much. Not the same. It wasn't the Saint.
It's not the same with at him. What are some
other examples? It could be anything I brought up on
yesterday off the air with you guys. We were joking
(16:03):
about for some reason. Spot brought up Police Academy and
I said, I stopped watching when Gutenberg was out. Gutenberg.
There were like six others And it's like Jaws without
Roy Scheider in the in the after Joss two smile Yes,
son of a Are you kidding me? When I was
a kid, I saw Jaws three in three D, and
(16:25):
I remember being so pumped about it because I got
to wear those cool three D glas. I remember falling
asleep that movie was so bad. Jows three was awful,
and Jaws four The Revenge Get ahead of here Jaws
one of twings are just synonymous with that thing, just
like lebron kd and Curry are synonymous with the playoffs. Man,
you you want one of those dudes involved somehow, and
they're not. It's not the same, not them. This is
(16:47):
like The Office when Steve Carell was no longer on it.
I got it, please No, I love Love. I was
just about to bring that up the button ready love
Will Ferrell. But you're right there. Maybe is an adjustment too,
write like, maybe it's just an adjustment. You get used
to it, but it's just not the same. What else
(17:08):
comes to mind? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
at Coveno and Rich on social media? If you can't
call in, if you're at the office or something, eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. What are some other examples?
I think that Kutenberg one is dead on or is
the kid? He say dead ass? You know I told
the other one. I said, I didn't watch any was
(17:29):
well listen, Gutenberg was police Academy. Right, I agree? Do
you like Police Academy? Five though, get out Simon Miami Beach.
Remember where Lazard got kidnapped and they had to find him.
It was the nephew, you know, I mean watched without
gutenbergs no goods, no watch. So please Academy, it's not
even please Academy. Patrol. Yeah, I stopped at four right, Yeah, citizens,
(17:53):
our patrol, Homeland Police Academy. You guys, said Steve Croll
in the office. I have won that this sort of
goes along with even though it's a TV show, it
goes along with generations, right, Like all right, for instance,
you know how you could argue the NBA was bigger
and better than ever in the late eighties, early nineties,
(18:13):
MJ byrd Magic, I'm talking like Dream Team, Karl Malone, Barkley,
and then before the next generation of stars, there was
a little down period where unless you were down with
Kobe or Shack like Alan Iverson, like, there was a
little down period, right, we could agree, I think that
about American Idol. If you watch that show Paul Oh
(18:35):
without Dunkleman it yeah, yeahout show without that guy. No,
but everyone loves Simon Cowell, Paul Abdoll, and Randy Jackson.
Once they voted off bo Bice, I was done. No,
but those three judges were synonymous about that show. Simon Cowelloh,
the little pitchy Dog. Then they had like Steven Tyler,
j Low all these random people. Then they finally got
(18:57):
their next generation, which works line Richie, Katy Perry and
Luke Bryant. So it came back. It came back, but
it wasn't an adjustment period, right, new stars right. So
that's what we're going through now without the big stars
in the playoffs. And that doesn't mean the playoffs lacks
star power. It's just not the same. It's not the
(19:20):
ones we're used to. And you're not you're a big name,
and you're about to have no Yiannis possibly right and
during the next round also because he's hurt. But so
no Steph, no KD, no Lebron for the first time
since five. We're talking almost twenty years, nineteen years. That's
a long run, nineteen years without three of the biggest
names in the NBA not in the postseason after the
(19:42):
first round. I have some other sport examples. Maybe maybe
it's it's maybe a team got rid of your favorite
player and they were never to see for you.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Give me. Maybe it's a show, Maybe it's a maybe
it's a restaurant. I got one. I mean the you know,
because he was a lunatic. He said it did it
to him self. But they tried to revamp it. They
tried to make it good. I'm not a I'm not
a hater of Ashton Coucher, but Two and a half
Men minus Charlie Sheen was like, is it really tried?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Half Men?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
They tried the worst attempt. I don't know how the
show is still in the air. The Connors without Roseanne.
Roseanne gets canceled and they're like, yeah, just keep keep
it with the ancillary characters. That's a great example, and
I'm sure the show was good right because it sounds
for a reason I will never watch. When he came
back to reboot that show, I'm like, you know what,
I was never that big into Roseanne, but I'm tuning
in the second she wasn't involved anymore, what is she doing?
(20:36):
What did she do wrong? Again? Remember some racial political
or something said something that I know she's had a
couple of rounds of being controversial side, extremely outspoken, and
Seinfeld would say, comedy, you know, the the extreme left
has ruined it. Seinfeld has said that just recently yesterday.
I'll give you one, and you guys could think about
(20:57):
your own examples. Light them up, light them, like Scott
Frell used to say, shake it oup, light it up,
light up the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine,
Oh Fox, you could say. One could say that when
the Mike Tyson era ended, you tuned out of boxing
for a long time, so Aby, you're tuning back now.
But everybody was glued to that Chavez Tyson era, right,
(21:21):
and once the Clitch goes ran the heavyweight division for
all those years they were unbeatable. It was a little boring.
You stopped tuning in because it does matter what's happening
in the heavyweight division. That builds the excitement for the
rest of the divisions. So once Fury got into the
mix and all these other names got into the mix again,
you're like, oh, yeah, these guys are kind of cool.
(21:43):
And then he got into these one forty pounders. But
once that Tyson era ended, he was like the main character.
A lot of people tuned out. I just I was like, well,
phones aren't that hot? And then I realized we didn't
have them on Every single line is lit. So let's
get to it. We'll take all your feedback at Covine
and Rich eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox, all
(22:04):
your phone calls next. It's that's a question more of
a phrase. Just wasn't the same Sports TV Music Day?
What about UH day? I mean David Lee Roth. Well,
you know what's funny about that, Van Halen had more
commercial success with him, right with Hagar. Commercials with really okay,
(22:27):
But to me, the best they ever were was with
David Lee Row. So that's just that's like a matter
of taste and opinion. It wasn't just as it's like
that's like split down the middle as far as opinion based,
wasn't quite the same. For me. It wasn't the same.
So for me Rich personally, I never liked Van Hale
in the same way after David Lee Roth. For sure,
We'll we'll take your answers next here on Covino and Rich.
(22:49):

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Foxsports MLB Network in
Sports Irustrated, and I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to
be around to talk a little bit about managerial decisions
and what may have occurred to the dugout maybe in
the nineteen eighties. It's the Book of Joe podcast. I
can't wait for this, Joe.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in Major League.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Baseball, cars, wind, whatever else we want to talk about. Yeah, well,

hate Van Hagar, but you like van Halen better. I
(24:34):
just like Van Halen better. With David Lee Roth, they
ain't talking about love. Haygar was Well, Hey Covin on
Rich Fox Sports Radio line from the Tireck dot Com studio.
And here's the thought, as Charles Barkley pointed out, it's
the changing of the guard. All these young stars first
time in nineteen years almost twenty years that the second
(24:55):
round of the playoffs does not feature k D, Steph
or Lebron. So we're posing the thought, it's just not
the same without it could be a TV show, a band,
a sport. And he said, think about that restaurant you
stop going to, right, everybody has this local spot or
their favorite spot. It may be that they fire the
(25:16):
hostess that you loved. It may be that they fired
a waiter that was the best, or a chef that
cook the special to perfection. There was a reason that
management shift, Like it's never been the same. We're asking
you it was a TV show, a team. Yeah, could
have been anything, because the playoffs are going to be good,
(25:39):
but they're not going to be the same without those names. Yeah,
I mean, who you're gonna put on the billboard? When Steph,
Lebron and k D are hanging in Cabo drinking my
ties and Coon, I thought, I'm sorry, all the jokes
they can Coon. So anyway, we're Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. Before we go to your phone calls,
let me give you one more example. Okay, okay, we
(25:59):
already said home n we already said Police Academy without
Gutenberg we said Steve Carell when he wasn't on the Office,
was it really the Office and two and a half
Men without Charlie Sheen. Yeah, not to say, not to say. Now,
this isn't my answer, but if you ask my girlfriend,
there was a pivotal point as to when she stopped
watching The Walking Dead. Dude, dude, But I don't agree
(26:23):
that he was the reason, but it was the point.
This was the point in time where everything hit you like,
this is getting repetitive. And I think that went too
far and I don't like it anymore because we were
all about it. And for my girlfriend, she says, when
they killed off Coral, and I'm sorry to spoil it
for everybody, chor, but when Coral was no longer a
(26:43):
part of the show, even though I didn't care about
his character all that much, it just wasn't the same
after that for a lot of people, people started tuning out.
Now was the show that everybody loved at one point.
Our buddy Sean Weller, who's listening out here on the
iHeart app in Los Angeles, one of my softball buds, said,
good point on The Walking Dead, Cabino, but he hung
(27:03):
along a little longer like I did when Rick was
off the show. Well he was the star because yeahs
the face, and we'll do a spin off with him
and shone down the line. And when Rick left, I
was like, oh, I'll sort of keep an eye on it.
When he's done. It's done. And that's kind of how
you feeling without no Lebron, no Katie, and no Curry.
(27:25):
Let's go rapid fire to you guys, just not the
same like we said movies, TV sports. Let's go to
Matt and so Cal. You're on Buddy.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yo Cabin and Rich Chigar, natural content backed by sincere bs.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I like it, man, real quick.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
I love the interaction with you guys. The fact that
you let like Danny g In, the Killer Bees, Bolangos.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
And Buyer in.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
You know, you know, despite some other shows who talk
over interrupt him, you allow them to get in and
be included on the show, which I think elevates the show.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Hey, Matt, it wouldn't be this same with at him.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Right, absolutely, you know, I love it, and of course
including us callers too. I'm gonna go athesis route and
excuse me for being positive, but nine to two one
oh outgoes Brenda wallsh incomes value. Valerie Malone and Clare Arnold.
Those two right there elevated for me, despite the deterioration
(28:21):
of Tory spelling, that that elevated.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Rich has an example of I've worked with Rich long
enough to know his examples. Read it down because I
know what you're gonna say. He's gonna say that I
loved married with children. Yeah, with Jefferson, I thought Jefferson
was better than Steve. So there are examples where it
gets better. And that could be the case here in
the playoffs. We don't know yet, you know, it could
be We don't know Trip, it could be next level, Like, Yo,
(28:44):
look at these dudes. They're on fire. I look at
the Timberwolves exactly exactly. Let's go to Trip in Vegas. Trip.
It's just not the same first playoffs without Lebron, Steph
or Katie. What's up?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Hey, what's up? Gentlemen? Great as always, I got one.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
You're gonna agree.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
It's going a little older here.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Dukes of hazard contract dispute.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
They brought in Coy and.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Vance fancy, Yeah we remember that, Yeah we Advance.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
That just made me think of one remember Chips when
they got rid of Poncerello's partner and it was some
random blonde guy instead of Officer Baker.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's kind of how they got rid of Phil Simms
and boomeras eyes. Oh yeah, CBS said, we don't like
kid for blonde guys. CBS decided blonde dudes out, which
is you know, obviously Matt Ryan in. Uh you know,
you know, I don't want to go to old school
from my childhood. But when Three's company started switching around
(29:42):
the blonde women like, yeah, we're gonna take away Chrissy
and bring in like Terry or something like that. Terry
was horrible. Jennifer and Michigan, you're on a covin on Rich?
What's up?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Jen?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Guys. It wasn't the same. After Dale Earnhardt Junior.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Retired from NASCAR, and I realized.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
That I shouldn't be watching it because it's all going
around in circles with headaches.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Let me tell you, you know, when your favorite player
on a team leaves too, it takes a minute like,
who am I invested in? Now? Yeah that's my guy.
I know how you feel. I'm not an AL baseball guy.
I'm a National League Mets fan. But within a couple
of years when Jeter and Big Poppy both call the quits.
There was a part of me that's like, well, that's
sort of baseball right, right, like who's the next guy? Yeah, exactly,
(30:29):
Chris and Virginia, Hey, Chris O Hey guys.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
So I my issue was Supercross. I really lost interest
in Supercross when Jeremine Grass operating in the early two thousands,
and I really not been able to tune.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Back in since you know, this would be a question
for Dan Byer, but I'd imagine Tiger Woods brought a
lot of eyes to golf and they're really hoping that stars,
you know, stars continue to emerge in golf. Right, yes,
but you have to.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Really just on how impactful tiger Woods like it is
it changed to complete sport, considering not just of how
great he was. I always get real sensitive when it
comes to tiger Woods because it makes it sounds like
it sounds like there's just this another way to find
not like you talk about generational players, but you talk
about the history of race in the in the sport,
(31:21):
and what he did at such a young age, and
not only the greatness. I think it's it's impossible and
so when I hear people say like, oh, golf hasn't
recovered from Tiger you know Woods not being there.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, who the heck can?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Like, I mean, like, it's it changed absolutely everything where
I think if you look at other sports there there
there are transitional moments and periods and passing of the torch.
But Tiger was just such a one of one because
of everything involved around him that I'd be just be
careful with hdividuals.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And you know what it's like, you know, yeah, Tom
Brady moved on and he was the goat of the game,
but we moved on just fine. Sure Tiger Woods leaves
the game. It's it's a it's a bigger impact. There's
individual players in individual sports that left their mark. If
they were if they were like quote unquote rock stars
like Mike Tyson and boxing in the nineties, Andrea Augussy
(32:15):
had people that didn't care about tennis being like, yo,
he's cool. Like you get those guys. I'm not saying
Augusty is Tiger Woods. Tiger Wood's monumental, but there are
guys that brought and women that brought eyes in what
Clark did.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
To Serena, I think it's like you talk about a
gap of tennis and not like we're all huge tennis
fans here, but maybe we'll follow. But how many of
us would watch if Serena was playing right? And how
much have we paid attention since she hasn't been And
it's zilch.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's why. That's why I when like everyone's like ooh,
cocoa goff, You're like, oh, could it be the next,
you know, the next must see person about radio shows?
Have you bailed on one or it just wasn't the
same when so and so show. I'll tell people are
very passionate about the radio. Clearly our other gig, you know,
cave you know, and I for years and still do
some stuff at Sirius XM. I thought when Arty left
(33:04):
Howard there was something that just was never the same,
not better, not worse. I just to me, I like
Ardi Lang, I thought he added so much on my
arties from my hometown, always like a familiar familiarity, like
the humor was there. I'm with you on that it
was never the same. So your phone calls will continue.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is Caveno and Rich.
(33:24):
Let's go to dB for an update. B What's up?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Dan Byer Trible header tonight, six Ers and Knicks gets
things going at seven Eastern from the Gardens. Sixer center
Joel Embiide officially questionable because of a migraine that forced
him to miss shoot around today I mentioned it's the
first of three. The Magic and Calves will follow at
eight o'clock Eastern time. Jared Allen is questionable for Cleveland
because of a rib contusion, while the Bucks are likely
(33:49):
without Giannison Tetakumpo and Damian Lillard both doubtful Fortnight's Game
five against the Pacers in Milwaukee, Indiana, up three to
one in that series.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
One other note about the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
They will not have Boyan Bogdanovitch tonight, and in fact
he's gonna miss the next three months after he needs
surgery to repair his injured foot. Chris stops porzingis out
for the Celtics in Game five tomorrow night against the
Heat right solely a strain in his calf. In fact,
ESPN says that it's a similar injury to what Giannis
hays with the Bucks, so expect Porzingis to miss more
(34:20):
games than just a Game five against the Miami Heat.
Haimi Hake is not gonna play for Miami in that
game either, He's got a hip injury tomorrow. Tiger's up
on the Cardinals one nothing right now, bottom of the
eighth inning in Detroit. Astro's optioned Jose Abreu to their
minor league complex in Florida and Champions League semifinals first
leg Byron Munich and Real Madrid played to it to
(34:40):
to draw guys back to you.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Thank you, dB, Covino and Rich. Now we're gonna get
to all your phone calls, all your feedback, So Hank
Tight got more. Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio
next and Rich. For centuries, the bond between horse and
human has been forged by trust and hands on care.
Now you okay now. The support of thoroughbred racing is
(35:04):
combining those traditions with cutting edge technology and meaningful reforms,
raising as safety standards to the highest levels. New investment
in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes in a
horse's stride and the use of advanced imaging technology help
flag potential problems for early intervention by expert veterinarians, reducing
injury risk. Scientific experts test, measure, and analyze racing surfaces
(35:28):
to ensure consistency, and the sports new independent regulator, the
Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority, is implementing comprehensive reforms
including state of the art testing, monitoring, and strict enforcement,
along with new uniform safety standards, and has enhanced veterinary
protocols and other measures to ensure the safest environment possible
(35:48):
for racing, meaningful reforms, the latest technology, higher standards. Every day.
The sports equine athletes are surrounded by an ecosystem of
care and a commitment to do more to both horse
and rider. So that's win or lose. It's safety that
runs first. To learn more, visit Safety runs First. Dot
Com That Safety runs First, dot Com. Iowa sam playing
(36:14):
some Biggie was hip hop? Never the same? It wasn't.
You could argue Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio, Iowa
Samuel on the ones and twos, Danny g Super producing
a seven seven ninety nine O Fox Dan Byer spots
on the videos at Covino and Rich and not the same.
That's sort of the concept here. Homeland not the same.
(36:34):
When Damian Lewis was out, Police Academies without Gutenberg, Charlie
Sheen not on two and a half. Men, when a show,
a band, a sport goes through changes Peter Brady style,
time to change. Sometimes it's not the same change. I
(36:55):
think there's a lot of good answers. People said Rick
when he or Carl left the Walking Day. I mean,
Rick is the guy. That's the answer. I said the
baseball I'm not an American League guy. But when Jeter,
Big Poppy, some of those Red Sox and Yankee said
it's over, it felt to me like generational change. Lebron,
Katie Curry, It's going to be different without those dudes
(37:18):
in the second round of the playoffs the first time
since two thousand and five. Let's go to your phone calls.
Some other examples eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
who we got Dave in Apple Valley? Hey Dave, what
a buddy?
Speaker 6 (37:32):
So it would bump me out back in the day.
Was Journey without Steve Perry?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Is it really journey without step without that voice? You're right,
it's a good one.
Speaker 8 (37:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Cole and Charlotte, what's up? Call?
Speaker 8 (37:48):
Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. I got two
quick ones for you. One I was thinking about more
recently was the Patriots in the Super Bowl every year.
I got kind of kind of used to seeing that,
and it just I guess the Chiefs has taken their
spot now, but it was it was always a pleasure
(38:10):
to see who got to play the Patriots from the
NFC every year.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
You know, I don't want to get morbid, And that's
a great call and a great example, and I appreciate
all the feedback. But I mean, when you think back
to your childhood, if there was a matriarch or patriarch
that just isn't there anymore. Sometimes it's just never the same.
And I know it's sad and it's morbid, but it's true.
It's right like ever since Grandpa, that man, the holidays,
(38:34):
Christmas just isn't the same. But then someone else emerges.
And that's what we're getting right now. These young players,
as Charles Barkley said, like these guys are the new
guys now. I know jim Nantz is part of our
weekly life in the NFL still calls the Masters. But
not hearing jim Nantz during the Final four was that weird.
Not hearing him que up one shining moment and not
(38:57):
doing his generational rich right. Because if you're a young kid,
it didn't matter that much to you. I think it's
generation when when he decides to call a dad. I'm
sure he still has what a year or so left,
But when al Michaels decides to stop cling football, that's
gonna be weird, right, Like it's not the same. For
a long time, it was strange not having John Madden's voice. Dude,
(39:18):
I'm talking to a Dodgers fed hearing games without Vince Scully.
Rest in peace. You're not kidding. I mean that was
a staple in your ear holes for what your whole life.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
It's the soundtrack to our summer in southern California. So
you're in a ear hole.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's what I've always said about you, Tim in Virginia,
We'll go rapid fire here. Not the same, you know,
just the playoff of everyone today talking about is the
NBA going in a good direction because there's a changing
of the guard. What's up, yo, Tim?
Speaker 6 (39:50):
Yeah, I would have to say Black Sabbath without Ozzie.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah, no, of course to me, you know, he was
Black Sabbath. And by the way, I play all of
that and more every Saturday Sunday on Ozzie's Boneyard. Seri
thirty eight. You can wake up with me. Let me
write that down to know what not to listen? Why
man Art in Florida, what's up Art?
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Hey, guys, this will throw you for a loop. The
Sopranos are never the same. After Tony killed Ralph Separretto,
Ralph Sebretto stood up to Johnny Sacks. He stood up
to Tony. He told PAULI, I could be on time tomorrow.
He'll be stupid forever. The Sopranos the same after Sepharretto
got killed.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
By our buddy. Spot is one hundred percent of Italian.
He agrees with you. I got to see who Sepharretto
is because I haven't watched the dude. Nothing is the
same without Joey Pants, Lebamba, Goonies. You take them out,
it's not the same, the same. All right, Let's go
to what is the for Telly Brothers without Joey Pants?
(40:54):
Was that Art right there? So let's go to Brad
in Texas? B Rad, what's up? Man? Oh wow?
Speaker 7 (41:00):
I got three for you real quick.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
The Sound of the Lambs movies after Jody Foster.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah I never even watched him. Yeah, I'm talking.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
About they were all good, but you know college football
after Keith Jackson Nelly.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, I was say, announcers are a good answer to
these questions, and let's go to the FATS in Wisconsin.
What's up? Oh yeah, Yo, how.
Speaker 6 (41:27):
About Eddy shack to Rodney danger Field. He read the
script and he's like, this is garbage. He was not
in Paddy Shack too, And uh that was that Betty
shack Man.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
That's the greatest sports mobile.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, you can say that a lot of that. When
it comes to sequels without those main people, You're like, yeah, no,
by the way, does every state have their own FATS,
Like there's a Minnesota Fats. Yeah, that's especially in the North.
What I was gonna say was he said sequels major
League two? No, Wesley Snipe says Willie Mays. Was it
not the same? That's a good one. That's good. So hey,
(42:04):
your feedback at Kuvin on Rich. We're gonna move on.
We'll talk some NFL, some more NBA playoffs and Diesel trivia.
Yeah that's coming up this hour. Hang tight, all right,

Speaker 2 (01:20):
News, breaking news from Fox Sports.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Hey guys, I know you're gonna get into the NBA action.
Maybe overshadowing last night's action was the injury to Christaps
Porzingis of the Boston Celtics. Scary situation, but the Celtics
have said that Porzingis has a calf strain, so not
as serious, but he will not play in Game five
against the Heat tomorrow. But it was that injury that
(01:47):
had us all kind of like uh oh right now,
being diagnosed as a strain in his calf, officially listed
as out tomorrow against the Miami Heat for Game five.
But that's considering good news from what we thought it
maybe could have been.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
In the series is three to one. Take it, ease, relax, exactly,
cruise into the next round at the NBA Playoffs. Cost
growing up, Dan Bayer take it a yeah, I mean
the NBA Playoffs. I feel like it is over a
two to three month period. It feels like that at least,
so well, we'll have plenty of time for poor Zingis.
To poor zingis poor zingis to nurse that little calf
(02:22):
injuries got going on? Yeah, so good news to start
off the show. I hope you had a Celtics thunder
Nuggets sort of night. Some big games tonight we have
to go over And speaking of the NBA, we have
some shacked Diesel, Whack Diesel trivia, some chances to win,
some CNR prizes, multiple choice trivia. We do it every
Tuesday again a CNR Swiggy CNR and FSR steamless seel
(02:46):
water bottle up for grabs. So lots of fun to
get to. We're gonna talk about weight gain and the
appropriate ways to find out how people are losing weight.
There's a big story, believe it or not, involving Barbara
streisand but we're gonna get passed. Is that a first
on Fox Sports Radio Barbara streisand News. Well, we'll get
(03:06):
to uh oh oh oh oh zampig. We'll get to
shack diesel. Like you said, there's a you know that's
O'reiley's right, oh Rea, the theme stones oh oh oh
oh zampig. Oh, I made my own, I made my own.
We're gonna also talk about when first pitches go wrong
in sports. What's your first thought. We'll get to all this,
(03:29):
but before we get to some knowledge that Charles Barkley
dropped last night during the NBA playoffs, I do wonder
if Lakers fans are more aggravated that they were in
every game, in fact, seventy percent of the series they
had the lead. Well, Danny g said he felt happy
(03:49):
about the fact that they just put up a fight,
But that's what makes it aggravating. From me outside looking in,
I was like, you had a chance to win every game.
I listen as a forty nine Ers fan, Danny d
they lost two Super Bowls in the last five years
to the Chiefs. Both they were up by double digits
in the fourth quarter. I almost feel like I rather
Mahomes had gone off and beat me by twenty one.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Colvino, when I said that to you last night about
putting up a fight, I meant in last night's game,
because you could have easily come in. Nobody's ever come
back from a three to zero deficit in the NBA playoffs.
So my point was, I'm glad they didn't just mail
it in in that closeout game. But as far as
the rest of the series, it is super frustrating that
they had so many leads and just couldn't hang on.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It was a battle at the end of yesterday's game,
for sure. If you watched the last two to three
minutes of that game, it was a nail. Body. You're like,
oh my goodness, the battle. The Lakers fell short. Man,
they couldn't finish this. And I know you're gonna say, rich,
is it the Nuggets were just the better team? The
Nuggets won? Or did the Lakers blow it? Well, there's
a few layers here, and we said it yesterday. When
(04:51):
you lose to Mahomes in the NFL, do you say,
oh man, we blew it or did Mahomes just win?
I look at it like, if the Lakers do a
few adjustments, you lost. I get it. You lost four
to five to the defending NBA champs, but you're so close.
Like it's almost frustrating that each game you could argue, Wow,
(05:15):
that was the Lakers game and they blew it. Oh
they let it slip away. There's that one game in
that series where you're like, oh man, they they just
got their ass whopped. It wasn't the case. So it's like,
revamp what you just couldn't well game. Dwight Howard went
public last night saying, hadn't they disassembled that twenty twenty
(05:35):
team and kept some of those big guys, they would
have won three rings in a row. That was sort
of Howard's answer. Okay, I'm I'm not saying Dwight Howard's answer.
He's saying that that team that they had would have
competed stronger with this team.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I mean, what do you what are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Dang yesterday I brought his name up along with JaVale McGee.
I do think they need some more size to throw
some guys in there to tire the joker out. They
don't have the size they they had when they won
in Orlando.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
That was a fun team, Green Kuzma, that was a
solid squad. Yeah, I just get the sense though in
a close game, maybe we're just you know, living in
the moment because of what they did to the Lakers.
But you know what, it's the fourth quarter, Emma Holmes
has the ball, or back in the nineties, Yankees had
a slim lead and their Sandman hits and you're like
(06:24):
it's over. You just get the sense that it just
sort of over when it was back and forth. I
felt I did get that feeling that every time the
Lakers scored, I was like, oh, yes, the Nuggets scored,
it just seemed like, well they score, like it felt
Caruso wouldn't have missed that lay up at the end
of the game. It felt like it felt like it
came very easy. Just felt like it came very easy
(06:47):
to the Nuggets when they were going basket for basket
at the end like that, the Lakers were manufacturing two
points in passing and moving. Meanwhile, the Nuggets just foul
ways to quick, too quick too.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
There was one point in the third quarter where I
saw some Lakers tugging on their shorts, kind of hunched
over a little bit, breathing hard. That elevation does get
to players, you know that don't obviously play there as
their home court, and you think about it whenever you've
gone to like your local gym or just out outside
on a court and you're playing ball, running up and
(07:18):
down the court. I don't think NBA players get enough credit,
the ones who play a lot of minutes for all
that running you do do, and so when you're doing
it in that elevation. Man, I could understand why sometimes
in the third quarter of those games in Denver the
opposition looks so beat.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Well, Lakers put up a fight, They're done. Zough. We
got to congratulate the Nuggets from moving forward. I mean
he came up big, Murray came up big, and they
beat the Lakers. Moving forward. That elevation is no joking, No,
I mean, look at what it's done to the Colorado Rockies,
you know, with home runs exacting averages. But I even
have a story where I went to Red Rocks to
(07:55):
do an event in the radio world and I had
to interview a band backstage. I had to walk up
and down the stairs of that venue, and I remember thinking, like, dude,
out of shape, am I Yeah, that's the same as
playing basketball. No, but I'm saying I was winded walking
up and downstairs in Denver at high altitude altitudes at
Red Rock. So can you imagine, of course? Yeah, at
(08:17):
it point is this noticeable? It really is? So some
fun basketball yesterday and a common theme on our show
Just in Life. Remember back in the day, let's take
it back on a Tuesday. How would you get your jokes?
You would get your jokes when you're old, dirty uncle
would come over and you'd tell you a dirty joke
and you'd debate whether or not you'd pretend to understand
(08:40):
it or not in front of your parents, you know
what I mean? Like, hey, thanks uncle Mario, thanks for
telling me that joke. Right, you would just get joking
and then you would share it with your friends of school,
or you'd buy a dirty joke book at school. Right,
And it's is funny to think about, right at the
little book fair or something like that. Now, we get
our jokes from memes. For the most Parkers, who's telling jokes?
(09:04):
Who's telling jokes? Nobody? We get them from memes. Our
punchlines are in meme form. You know what's proof of this?
And a lot of times so are the headlines that
we report. What's proof of this? Is on that dumb
reality show The Circle. Yeah, they were all asked to
tell the joke. They didn't know anything. Everyone's like, it's
the lost art of telling it joke. Everyone knew someone,
everyone time someone, anytime your your grandpappy or an uncle
(09:28):
came over, a cousin came over, they would share some
joke with you. Ah. Yeah, there's probably some racist joke
back in the day and you loved it and you
shared it. That's the lost art. Because we get our
humor and our jokes from memes, and like I said
here on this show, you also get your news courtesy
of memes. And this meme says it's a picture of
(09:51):
lebron Katie and Curry right for the first time in forever,
For the first time since two thousand and five, the
second round of the playoffs won't have lebron k to
your Curry. Now, this meme is true as far as
I know. That's the punch one. I thought that was
(10:12):
not a joke. I said. We get our news in
the same way news jokes, news and jokes and meme form.
And you're like, wow, that's pretty wild. First time since
two thousand and five. Is this the end of an era? Well,
Charles Barkley, who you know famously two nights ago said
(10:34):
hindsights whatever, had another dudes yesterday. Listen to Sir Charles
last night after.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
The game between Anthony Edwards, Shake Gilders, Alexander Jason Tatum,
Luka Doncik the young Boys of Well, he not in
that conversation.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
He's getting there you.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Know he ain't there. They won twelve games between between
those young guys and they're not knocking on the door,
they're kicking the door down. It's a pleasure to watch.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's a new generation. Yeah, you see it in football.
We've experienced at the past, you know, five six years
with the changing of the guard, like all the guys
we knew for so long playing QB. Like wow, they're
all gone. A lot of these new fings just like that.
It was like miss like this Brady Manning, Breeze, all
the faces, Aaron Rodgers still hanging in there. But there
was almost like how many generations of QB's have you
(11:25):
lived through at this point? No, you live through the
I I'd like to say, I'm two generations of q
QB's deep. I look at generation one. If you're if
you're roughly forty ishue, you live through Montana Elway, Bernie Cozar,
Phil Simms like that eightieth Jim Plunkett. Then you live
through the Manning, Philip Rivers, Tom Brady, that that generation.
(11:48):
Am I missing it? Or did you feel like they
go back to back? It feels like back to Bay.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It's like the oldies radio stations that we hear that say,
we play the best of seventies, eighties, nineties and today.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Today Joe Burrs of the World and Homes Homes and
Mark Jackson, all these guys right now with the NBA,
are we starting to see that same sort of thing.
It happens changing of the guard, And you heard Charles
Barkley and what he had to say about it. For
the first time since two thousand and five second round
playoffs want to include the biggest names that we've been
(12:21):
talking about for the past ten fifteen plus years. Well,
you and I John, KD and Curry. You and I
joked about how one of them didn't even make it
out of the playing round, right, So you're right, KD,
Lebron Steph. So again that takes away Well, it depends
how you look at it, hey, changing of the guard,
like we said, that's exciting, or like, man, it's not
(12:42):
the same without these guys. I'm looking at it that
way because to me, they represent the playoffs, right. I
want to see KD, I want to see Curry. I
want to see Lebron at least one of them, some
of them, if not all of them. But again, it's evolution, baby,
But based on that, Based on that, what are some
(13:06):
other things that come to mind that just weren't the
same with Adam. I'll give you an example, all right,
I have a list. So I'm not saying the playoffs
aren't gonna be dope, because they've been dope, and I
think they'll continue to be dope, and we'll be more
familiar with these young players. We'll see what they do
in these big moments, on these big stages, especially without
(13:28):
these old dudes. You know what you're seeing this now
outside the NBA. You're seeing this a lot with star
pitchers in Major League Baseball. The ones that remain are
the tail end of a generation, whether it be Kershaw
hanging in there, Verlander, Scherzer, that there's a there's a
few guys hanging on, still trying to dominate at the
(13:49):
end of their career. But once they're out. Garrett Cole's
like the only guy that's you know, been around for
a man. That doesn't mean it's not good, it's just
isn't the same, Okay. From So based on that, I'll
give you an example and then we'll chop it up.
We'll take your phone calls at A seven seven ninety
nine on Fox at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
(14:11):
I remember in the early two thousands, two thousand teens,
maybe Rich, we'd come back Monday do our radio show
on Series XM. We'd be all pumped about Homeland and
how great it was. Bro, did you watch Homeland, dude? Yeah,
it was good. Homeland for a few seasons, was like yo,
(14:34):
one season. No, really, yeah there was one because there
was some trinkle and trickle of the character. You're like, yo, man,
this show is good. Once Damian Lewis was not on
that show anymore, I gotta tell you I stopped tuning
in because it wasn't the same. I'm not saying it
wasn't good. I'm not saying people didn't care. I'm saying
(14:55):
I didn't get it the same way. I did not think,
you know, I didn't realized that the reason I was
tuning in and glued and intrigued was Damian Lewis. Well,
once he was not on it, I'm like, I don't
care as much.
Speaker 4 (15:07):
One show that was never the same for me was
Fresh Prince of bel Air. Once they changed Ann Viv. No,
for really is not Anne Viv. I could never get it,
could past I couldn't get past it. I mean, I
still love the show, but it bothered me the whole time.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
So the question is here, The question is not the
same without him. What's your example? Now, you did bring
up Homeland Claire Danes and Mandy Bittang, and they did
like one hundred episodes of that show. Damian Lewis, I
thought it was one. I think it was two seasons.
But and then, like I said, there was a like
a resurgence or something of the character. Maybe I'm thinking
of Billions that he was on, But Damian Lewis, I'm
(15:43):
not saying I'm some huge fan, but the character and
the dynamic he brought to that show is what had
me tuning in. When he wasn't on, I just didn't
care as much. Not the same. It wasn't the Saint.
It's not the same with at him. What are some
other examples? It could be anything I brought up on
yesterday off the air with you guys. We were joking
(16:03):
about for some reason. Spot brought up Police Academy and
I said, I stopped watching when Gutenberg was out. Gutenberg.
There were like six others And it's like Jaws without
Roy Scheider in the in the after Joss two smile Yes,
son of a Are you kidding me? When I was
a kid, I saw Jaws three in three D, and
(16:25):
I remember being so pumped about it because I got
to wear those cool three D glas. I remember falling
asleep that movie was so bad. Jows three was awful,
and Jaws four The Revenge Get ahead of here Jaws
one of twings are just synonymous with that thing, just
like lebron kd and Curry are synonymous with the playoffs. Man,
you you want one of those dudes involved somehow, and
they're not. It's not the same, not them. This is
(16:47):
like The Office when Steve Carell was no longer on it.
I got it, please No, I love Love. I was
just about to bring that up the button ready love
Will Ferrell. But you're right there. Maybe is an adjustment too,
write like, maybe it's just an adjustment. You get used
to it, but it's just not the same. What else
(17:08):
comes to mind? Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox
at Coveno and Rich on social media? If you can't
call in, if you're at the office or something, eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox. What are some other examples?
I think that Kutenberg one is dead on or is
the kid? He say dead ass? You know I told
the other one. I said, I didn't watch any was
(17:29):
well listen, Gutenberg was police Academy. Right, I agree? Do
you like Police Academy? Five though, get out Simon Miami Beach.
Remember where Lazard got kidnapped and they had to find him.
It was the nephew, you know, I mean watched without
gutenbergs no goods, no watch. So please Academy, it's not
even please Academy. Patrol. Yeah, I stopped at four right, Yeah, citizens,
(17:53):
our patrol, Homeland Police Academy. You guys, said Steve Croll
in the office. I have won that this sort of
goes along with even though it's a TV show, it
goes along with generations, right, Like all right, for instance,
you know how you could argue the NBA was bigger
and better than ever in the late eighties, early nineties,
(18:13):
MJ byrd Magic, I'm talking like Dream Team, Karl Malone, Barkley,
and then before the next generation of stars, there was
a little down period where unless you were down with
Kobe or Shack like Alan Iverson, like, there was a
little down period, right, we could agree, I think that
about American Idol. If you watch that show Paul Oh
(18:35):
without Dunkleman it yeah, yeahout show without that guy. No,
but everyone loves Simon Cowell, Paul Abdoll, and Randy Jackson.
Once they voted off bo Bice, I was done. No,
but those three judges were synonymous about that show. Simon Cowelloh,
the little pitchy Dog. Then they had like Steven Tyler,
j Low all these random people. Then they finally got
(18:57):
their next generation, which works line Richie, Katy Perry and
Luke Bryant. So it came back. It came back, but
it wasn't an adjustment period, right, new stars right. So
that's what we're going through now without the big stars
in the playoffs. And that doesn't mean the playoffs lacks
star power. It's just not the same. It's not the
(19:20):
ones we're used to. And you're not you're a big name,
and you're about to have no Yiannis possibly right and
during the next round also because he's hurt. But so
no Steph, no KD, no Lebron for the first time
since five. We're talking almost twenty years, nineteen years. That's
a long run, nineteen years without three of the biggest
names in the NBA not in the postseason after the
(19:42):
first round. I have some other sport examples. Maybe maybe
it's it's maybe a team got rid of your favorite
player and they were never to see for you.
Speaker 2 (19:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
Give me. Maybe it's a show, Maybe it's a maybe
it's a restaurant. I got one. I mean the you know,
because he was a lunatic. He said it did it
to him self. But they tried to revamp it. They
tried to make it good. I'm not a I'm not
a hater of Ashton Coucher, but Two and a half
Men minus Charlie Sheen was like, is it really tried?
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Half Men?
Speaker 1 (20:13):
They tried the worst attempt. I don't know how the
show is still in the air. The Connors without Roseanne.
Roseanne gets canceled and they're like, yeah, just keep keep
it with the ancillary characters. That's a great example, and
I'm sure the show was good right because it sounds
for a reason I will never watch. When he came
back to reboot that show, I'm like, you know what,
I was never that big into Roseanne, but I'm tuning
in the second she wasn't involved anymore, what is she doing?
(20:36):
What did she do wrong? Again? Remember some racial political
or something said something that I know she's had a
couple of rounds of being controversial side, extremely outspoken, and
Seinfeld would say, comedy, you know, the the extreme left
has ruined it. Seinfeld has said that just recently yesterday.
I'll give you one, and you guys could think about
(20:57):
your own examples. Light them up, light them, like Scott
Frell used to say, shake it oup, light it up,
light up the phones at eight seven seven ninety nine,
Oh Fox, you could say. One could say that when
the Mike Tyson era ended, you tuned out of boxing
for a long time, so Aby, you're tuning back now.
But everybody was glued to that Chavez Tyson era, right,
(21:21):
and once the Clitch goes ran the heavyweight division for
all those years they were unbeatable. It was a little boring.
You stopped tuning in because it does matter what's happening
in the heavyweight division. That builds the excitement for the
rest of the divisions. So once Fury got into the
mix and all these other names got into the mix again,
you're like, oh, yeah, these guys are kind of cool.
(21:43):
And then he got into these one forty pounders. But
once that Tyson era ended, he was like the main character.
A lot of people tuned out. I just I was like, well,
phones aren't that hot? And then I realized we didn't
have them on Every single line is lit. So let's
get to it. We'll take all your feedback at Covine
and Rich eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox, all
(22:04):
your phone calls next. It's that's a question more of
a phrase. Just wasn't the same Sports TV Music Day?
What about UH day? I mean David Lee Roth. Well,
you know what's funny about that, Van Halen had more
commercial success with him, right with Hagar. Commercials with really okay,
(22:27):
But to me, the best they ever were was with
David Lee Row. So that's just that's like a matter
of taste and opinion. It wasn't just as it's like
that's like split down the middle as far as opinion based,
wasn't quite the same. For me. It wasn't the same.
So for me Rich personally, I never liked Van Hale
in the same way after David Lee Roth. For sure,
We'll we'll take your answers next here on Covino and Rich.
(22:49):

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Hey, this is Tom Berducci from Foxsports MLB Network in
Sports Irustrated, and I'm Joe Madden, and we're going to
be around to talk a little bit about managerial decisions
and what may have occurred to the dugout maybe in
the nineteen eighties. It's the Book of Joe podcast. I
can't wait for this, Joe.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
We're going to dive into what goes on in the
dugout and behind the scenes in Major League.
Speaker 1 (24:14):
Baseball, cars, wind, whatever else we want to talk about. Yeah, well,
there are no boundaries, right. Listen to the Book of
Joe podcast on the iHeartRadio app, on Apple Podcasts or
wherever you get your podcasts. Yeah you okay, I don't
hate Van Hagar, but you like van Halen better. I
(24:34):
just like Van Halen better. With David Lee Roth, they
ain't talking about love. Haygar was Well, Hey Covin on
Rich Fox Sports Radio line from the Tireck dot Com studio.
And here's the thought, as Charles Barkley pointed out, it's
the changing of the guard. All these young stars first
time in nineteen years almost twenty years that the second
(24:55):
round of the playoffs does not feature k D, Steph
or Lebron. So we're posing the thought, it's just not
the same without it could be a TV show, a band,
a sport. And he said, think about that restaurant you
stop going to, right, everybody has this local spot or
their favorite spot. It may be that they fire the
(25:16):
hostess that you loved. It may be that they fired
a waiter that was the best, or a chef that
cook the special to perfection. There was a reason that
management shift, Like it's never been the same. We're asking
you it was a TV show, a team. Yeah, could
have been anything, because the playoffs are going to be good,
(25:39):
but they're not going to be the same without those names. Yeah,
I mean, who you're gonna put on the billboard? When Steph,
Lebron and k D are hanging in Cabo drinking my
ties and Coon, I thought, I'm sorry, all the jokes
they can Coon. So anyway, we're Cavino and Rich on
Fox Sports Radio. Before we go to your phone calls,
let me give you one more example. Okay, okay, we
(25:59):
already said home n we already said Police Academy without
Gutenberg we said Steve Carell when he wasn't on the Office,
was it really the Office and two and a half
Men without Charlie Sheen. Yeah, not to say, not to say. Now,
this isn't my answer, but if you ask my girlfriend,
there was a pivotal point as to when she stopped
watching The Walking Dead. Dude, dude, But I don't agree
(26:23):
that he was the reason, but it was the point.
This was the point in time where everything hit you like,
this is getting repetitive. And I think that went too
far and I don't like it anymore because we were
all about it. And for my girlfriend, she says, when
they killed off Coral, and I'm sorry to spoil it
for everybody, chor, but when Coral was no longer a
(26:43):
part of the show, even though I didn't care about
his character all that much, it just wasn't the same
after that for a lot of people, people started tuning out.
Now was the show that everybody loved at one point.
Our buddy Sean Weller, who's listening out here on the
iHeart app in Los Angeles, one of my softball buds, said,
good point on The Walking Dead, Cabino, but he hung
(27:03):
along a little longer like I did when Rick was
off the show. Well he was the star because yeahs
the face, and we'll do a spin off with him
and shone down the line. And when Rick left, I
was like, oh, I'll sort of keep an eye on it.
When he's done. It's done. And that's kind of how
you feeling without no Lebron, no Katie, and no Curry.
(27:25):
Let's go rapid fire to you guys, just not the
same like we said movies, TV sports. Let's go to
Matt and so Cal. You're on Buddy.
Speaker 6 (27:35):
Yo Cabin and Rich Chigar, natural content backed by sincere bs.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
I like it, man, real quick.
Speaker 6 (27:44):
I love the interaction with you guys. The fact that
you let like Danny g In, the Killer Bees, Bolangos.
Speaker 7 (27:49):
And Buyer in.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
You know, you know, despite some other shows who talk
over interrupt him, you allow them to get in and
be included on the show, which I think elevates the show.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Hey, Matt, it wouldn't be this same with at him.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
Right, absolutely, you know, I love it, and of course
including us callers too. I'm gonna go athesis route and
excuse me for being positive, but nine to two one
oh outgoes Brenda wallsh incomes value. Valerie Malone and Clare Arnold.
Those two right there elevated for me, despite the deterioration
(28:21):
of Tory spelling, that that elevated.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Rich has an example of I've worked with Rich long
enough to know his examples. Read it down because I
know what you're gonna say. He's gonna say that I
loved married with children. Yeah, with Jefferson, I thought Jefferson
was better than Steve. So there are examples where it
gets better. And that could be the case here in
the playoffs. We don't know yet, you know, it could
be We don't know Trip, it could be next level, Like, Yo,
(28:44):
look at these dudes. They're on fire. I look at
the Timberwolves exactly exactly. Let's go to Trip in Vegas. Trip.
It's just not the same first playoffs without Lebron, Steph
or Katie. What's up?
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Hey, what's up? Gentlemen? Great as always, I got one.
Speaker 7 (28:59):
You're gonna agree.
Speaker 6 (29:00):
It's going a little older here.
Speaker 8 (29:01):
Dukes of hazard contract dispute.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
They brought in Coy and.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Vance fancy, Yeah we remember that, Yeah we Advance.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
That just made me think of one remember Chips when
they got rid of Poncerello's partner and it was some
random blonde guy instead of Officer Baker.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
It's kind of how they got rid of Phil Simms
and boomeras eyes. Oh yeah, CBS said, we don't like
kid for blonde guys. CBS decided blonde dudes out, which
is you know, obviously Matt Ryan in. Uh you know,
you know, I don't want to go to old school
from my childhood. But when Three's company started switching around
(29:42):
the blonde women like, yeah, we're gonna take away Chrissy
and bring in like Terry or something like that. Terry
was horrible. Jennifer and Michigan, you're on a covin on Rich?
What's up?
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Jen?
Speaker 1 (29:52):
Hello?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Guys. It wasn't the same. After Dale Earnhardt Junior.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
Retired from NASCAR, and I realized.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
That I shouldn't be watching it because it's all going
around in circles with headaches.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Not good.
Speaker 1 (30:05):
Let me tell you, you know, when your favorite player
on a team leaves too, it takes a minute like,
who am I invested in? Now? Yeah that's my guy.
I know how you feel. I'm not an AL baseball guy.
I'm a National League Mets fan. But within a couple
of years when Jeter and Big Poppy both call the quits.
There was a part of me that's like, well, that's
sort of baseball right, right, like who's the next guy? Yeah, exactly,
(30:29):
Chris and Virginia, Hey, Chris O Hey guys.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:33):
So I my issue was Supercross. I really lost interest
in Supercross when Jeremine Grass operating in the early two thousands,
and I really not been able to tune.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
Back in since you know, this would be a question
for Dan Byer, but I'd imagine Tiger Woods brought a
lot of eyes to golf and they're really hoping that stars,
you know, stars continue to emerge in golf. Right, yes,
but you have to.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Really just on how impactful tiger Woods like it is
it changed to complete sport, considering not just of how
great he was. I always get real sensitive when it
comes to tiger Woods because it makes it sounds like
it sounds like there's just this another way to find
not like you talk about generational players, but you talk
about the history of race in the in the sport,
(31:21):
and what he did at such a young age, and
not only the greatness. I think it's it's impossible and
so when I hear people say like, oh, golf hasn't
recovered from Tiger you know Woods not being there.
Speaker 1 (31:32):
Well, who the heck can?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
Like, I mean, like, it's it changed absolutely everything where
I think if you look at other sports there there
there are transitional moments and periods and passing of the torch.
But Tiger was just such a one of one because
of everything involved around him that I'd be just be
careful with hdividuals.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
And you know what it's like, you know, yeah, Tom
Brady moved on and he was the goat of the game,
but we moved on just fine. Sure Tiger Woods leaves
the game. It's it's a it's a bigger impact. There's
individual players in individual sports that left their mark. If
they were if they were like quote unquote rock stars
like Mike Tyson and boxing in the nineties, Andrea Augussy
(32:15):
had people that didn't care about tennis being like, yo,
he's cool. Like you get those guys. I'm not saying
Augusty is Tiger Woods. Tiger Wood's monumental, but there are
guys that brought and women that brought eyes in what
Clark did.
Speaker 3 (32:28):
To Serena, I think it's like you talk about a
gap of tennis and not like we're all huge tennis
fans here, but maybe we'll follow. But how many of
us would watch if Serena was playing right? And how
much have we paid attention since she hasn't been And
it's zilch.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
That's why. That's why I when like everyone's like ooh,
cocoa goff, You're like, oh, could it be the next,
you know, the next must see person about radio shows?
Have you bailed on one or it just wasn't the
same when so and so show. I'll tell people are
very passionate about the radio. Clearly our other gig, you know,
cave you know, and I for years and still do
some stuff at Sirius XM. I thought when Arty left
(33:04):
Howard there was something that just was never the same,
not better, not worse. I just to me, I like
Ardi Lang, I thought he added so much on my
arties from my hometown, always like a familiar familiarity, like
the humor was there. I'm with you on that it
was never the same. So your phone calls will continue.
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is Caveno and Rich.
(33:24):
Let's go to dB for an update. B What's up?
Speaker 3 (33:26):
Dan Byer Trible header tonight, six Ers and Knicks gets
things going at seven Eastern from the Gardens. Sixer center
Joel Embiide officially questionable because of a migraine that forced
him to miss shoot around today I mentioned it's the
first of three. The Magic and Calves will follow at
eight o'clock Eastern time. Jared Allen is questionable for Cleveland
because of a rib contusion, while the Bucks are likely
(33:49):
without Giannison Tetakumpo and Damian Lillard both doubtful Fortnight's Game
five against the Pacers in Milwaukee, Indiana, up three to
one in that series.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
One other note about the Knicks.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
They will not have Boyan Bogdanovitch tonight, and in fact
he's gonna miss the next three months after he needs
surgery to repair his injured foot. Chris stops porzingis out
for the Celtics in Game five tomorrow night against the
Heat right solely a strain in his calf. In fact,
ESPN says that it's a similar injury to what Giannis
hays with the Bucks, so expect Porzingis to miss more
(34:20):
games than just a Game five against the Miami Heat.
Haimi Hake is not gonna play for Miami in that
game either, He's got a hip injury tomorrow. Tiger's up
on the Cardinals one nothing right now, bottom of the
eighth inning in Detroit. Astro's optioned Jose Abreu to their
minor league complex in Florida and Champions League semifinals first
leg Byron Munich and Real Madrid played to it to
(34:40):
to draw guys back to you.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
Thank you, dB, Covino and Rich. Now we're gonna get
to all your phone calls, all your feedback, So Hank
Tight got more. Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio
next and Rich. For centuries, the bond between horse and
human has been forged by trust and hands on care.
Now you okay now. The support of thoroughbred racing is
(35:04):
combining those traditions with cutting edge technology and meaningful reforms,
raising as safety standards to the highest levels. New investment
in wearable biometric devices that measure subtle changes in a
horse's stride and the use of advanced imaging technology help
flag potential problems for early intervention by expert veterinarians, reducing
injury risk. Scientific experts test, measure, and analyze racing surfaces
(35:28):
to ensure consistency, and the sports new independent regulator, the
Horse Racing Integrity and Safety Authority, is implementing comprehensive reforms
including state of the art testing, monitoring, and strict enforcement,
along with new uniform safety standards, and has enhanced veterinary
protocols and other measures to ensure the safest environment possible
(35:48):
for racing, meaningful reforms, the latest technology, higher standards. Every day.
The sports equine athletes are surrounded by an ecosystem of
care and a commitment to do more to both horse
and rider. So that's win or lose. It's safety that
runs first. To learn more, visit Safety runs First. Dot
Com That Safety runs First, dot Com. Iowa sam playing
(36:14):
some Biggie was hip hop? Never the same? It wasn't.
You could argue Covino and Rich, Fox Sports Radio, Iowa
Samuel on the ones and twos, Danny g Super producing
a seven seven ninety nine O Fox Dan Byer spots
on the videos at Covino and Rich and not the same.
That's sort of the concept here. Homeland not the same.
(36:34):
When Damian Lewis was out, Police Academies without Gutenberg, Charlie
Sheen not on two and a half. Men, when a show,
a band, a sport goes through changes Peter Brady style,
time to change. Sometimes it's not the same change. I
(36:55):
think there's a lot of good answers. People said Rick
when he or Carl left the Walking Day. I mean,
Rick is the guy. That's the answer. I said the
baseball I'm not an American League guy. But when Jeter,
Big Poppy, some of those Red Sox and Yankee said
it's over, it felt to me like generational change. Lebron,
Katie Curry, It's going to be different without those dudes
(37:18):
in the second round of the playoffs the first time
since two thousand and five. Let's go to your phone calls.
Some other examples eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox,
who we got Dave in Apple Valley? Hey Dave, what
a buddy?
Speaker 6 (37:32):
So it would bump me out back in the day.
Was Journey without Steve Perry?
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Is it really journey without step without that voice? You're right,
it's a good one.
Speaker 8 (37:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Cole and Charlotte, what's up? Call?
Speaker 8 (37:48):
Hey guys, thanks for taking my call. I got two
quick ones for you. One I was thinking about more
recently was the Patriots in the Super Bowl every year.
I got kind of kind of used to seeing that,
and it just I guess the Chiefs has taken their
spot now, but it was it was always a pleasure
(38:10):
to see who got to play the Patriots from the
NFC every year.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
You know, I don't want to get morbid, And that's
a great call and a great example, and I appreciate
all the feedback. But I mean, when you think back
to your childhood, if there was a matriarch or patriarch
that just isn't there anymore. Sometimes it's just never the same.
And I know it's sad and it's morbid, but it's true.
It's right like ever since Grandpa, that man, the holidays,
(38:34):
Christmas just isn't the same. But then someone else emerges.
And that's what we're getting right now. These young players,
as Charles Barkley said, like these guys are the new
guys now. I know jim Nantz is part of our
weekly life in the NFL still calls the Masters. But
not hearing jim Nantz during the Final four was that weird.
Not hearing him que up one shining moment and not
(38:57):
doing his generational rich right. Because if you're a young kid,
it didn't matter that much to you. I think it's
generation when when he decides to call a dad. I'm
sure he still has what a year or so left,
But when al Michaels decides to stop cling football, that's
gonna be weird, right, Like it's not the same. For
a long time, it was strange not having John Madden's voice. Dude,
(39:18):
I'm talking to a Dodgers fed hearing games without Vince Scully.
Rest in peace. You're not kidding. I mean that was
a staple in your ear holes for what your whole life.
Speaker 4 (39:27):
It's the soundtrack to our summer in southern California. So
you're in a ear hole.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
That's what I've always said about you, Tim in Virginia,
We'll go rapid fire here. Not the same, you know,
just the playoff of everyone today talking about is the
NBA going in a good direction because there's a changing
of the guard. What's up, yo, Tim?
Speaker 6 (39:50):
Yeah, I would have to say Black Sabbath without Ozzie.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Yeah, no, of course to me, you know, he was
Black Sabbath. And by the way, I play all of
that and more every Saturday Sunday on Ozzie's Boneyard. Seri
thirty eight. You can wake up with me. Let me
write that down to know what not to listen? Why
man Art in Florida, what's up Art?
Speaker 7 (40:14):
Hey, guys, this will throw you for a loop. The
Sopranos are never the same. After Tony killed Ralph Separretto,
Ralph Sebretto stood up to Johnny Sacks. He stood up
to Tony. He told PAULI, I could be on time tomorrow.
He'll be stupid forever. The Sopranos the same after Sepharretto
got killed.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
By our buddy. Spot is one hundred percent of Italian.
He agrees with you. I got to see who Sepharretto
is because I haven't watched the dude. Nothing is the
same without Joey Pants, Lebamba, Goonies. You take them out,
it's not the same, the same. All right, Let's go
to what is the for Telly Brothers without Joey Pants?
(40:54):
Was that Art right there? So let's go to Brad
in Texas? B Rad, what's up? Man? Oh wow?
Speaker 7 (41:00):
I got three for you real quick.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:02):
The Sound of the Lambs movies after Jody Foster.
Speaker 1 (41:07):
Yeah I never even watched him. Yeah, I'm talking.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
About they were all good, but you know college football
after Keith Jackson Nelly.
Speaker 1 (41:17):
Yeah, I was say, announcers are a good answer to
these questions, and let's go to the FATS in Wisconsin.
What's up? Oh yeah, Yo, how.
Speaker 6 (41:27):
About Eddy shack to Rodney danger Field. He read the
script and he's like, this is garbage. He was not
in Paddy Shack too, And uh that was that Betty
shack Man.
Speaker 7 (41:39):
That's the greatest sports mobile.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Yeah, you can say that a lot of that. When
it comes to sequels without those main people, You're like, yeah, no,
by the way, does every state have their own FATS,
Like there's a Minnesota Fats. Yeah, that's especially in the North.
What I was gonna say was he said sequels major
League two? No, Wesley Snipe says Willie Mays. Was it
not the same? That's a good one. That's good. So hey,
(42:04):
your feedback at Kuvin on Rich. We're gonna move on.
We'll talk some NFL, some more NBA playoffs and Diesel trivia.
Yeah that's coming up this hour. Hang tight, all right,
coven on Fox Sports for next hour. That's awesome. Whom
