(00:22):
Since I'm coach Rich, the most winning coach on Fox
Sports Radio, you know you keep saying that you might
get punched in the nose by a guy named Doug. Yeah,
he won last night. You know, suck on that hip hipparatus.
That's good to hear. Hey, you don't think I root
for him? Of course I root for him. Why would
I not root for Doug? D coach? So, you know,

(00:42):
I coach girls softball and boys Little League, same level
as college men's basketball. Come on, exactly. So I'm like,
let me be the cool coach. So as I'm running
some errands this morning, guess what I peep and I
see out of the corner of my eye a big
display of big League Oh, I love it. And I said,
wouldn't I be the coolest T ball coach if I

(01:04):
came with a pack of Big league chew invented by
former Yankee pitcher Jim Bouton. And I get in the car,
I said, we did the the separate and you know,
run a couple of errands, like, Babe, you go get
the coffee. I'll go to the Dollar tree. You go here,
I'll go to CVS. I'll meet you back in the car.

(01:25):
My wife made it seem like I bought the kids
like weed, gummies or something like fake candy, cigarettes, sigarette
because you're teaching them how to chew. No, she said, yeah,
little he's raising little distras over here. Over here. Her
angle was, what do you think you're playing with, Bruce
Bochie Thes are little six year olds, She said, you're

(01:46):
coaching five and six year olds. You think their parents
all let them chew gum. I'm like, oh, she's concerned
about the fact that it's gum or like choking hand.
I thought she'd be concerned with the fact that, yeah,
it was, it was chew and it's it's mimicking tobacco.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
No, she was saying, butlers.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
She was insinuating, like you think you think a bunch
of five year old la parents are gonna be like
little Gregor's doesn't chill gum. And I'm like, come on,
if Rich, do you give him a little spittoon? So funny?
So I mean, I start Today's Ridiculous Friday Cavin on
Rich again. We're gonna get the NFL and MLB and

(02:26):
all that. But is it crazy to give a bunch
of T ball kids like, hey, coach Rich is here,
here's some big league too. I thought that was a
cool coach move. I guess in la rules are a
little different. You have a lot of life. No, it's
true because parents here are extra corny. To be honest,
it's also a way more competitive than anywhere. We're extra

(02:47):
anywhere we grew up, extra gum. They don't want your
kids to have like you can't bring cupcakes to the
school because you know, they don't want the kids to
have sugar without parents' permission. It's school school. My school
cupcakes are left. Yeah, but it was an la Ust
rule for a long time. I know you don't play bys. Yeah,
so parents, certain parents are concerned about the amount of

(03:07):
sugar you give their kids. And I understand that deal
was less brought in cupcakes. I understand Rich, but that
was a rule. I don't know what to tell you.
You know they lifted it. Okay, great, great, it's a
bit of any state at times. If you think that
parents don't care about that, you're the guy who's wrong.
I'm sorry to tell you that certain parents care about that.
Do I think it's corny? Yeah? I do. Let the

(03:30):
kid have a nice pop, Let him have some gum.
He's a kid. But I'm telling you that it's just
how it is out here. They're worried that rich is
turning their children into a bunch of violet board cards,
you know, but chewing gum all the time. I would
think more of the concern would be like again, the
theory of fake cigarettes, because that would be like condoning
or promoting smoking. In a way, you're promoting or condoning

(03:51):
a bad habit that causes cancer, which is chewing tobacco.
It's actually brightening their smiles. I'm a big fan of
big league cheer.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Probably.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
What about Isaac lowaningcron the voice of reason. He is
the governor, Governor Lowen Krown Lincoln governor looking ready for
a for a speech. Did you get your French laundry
press today? I think you did, Isaac.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
I'm I'm never gonna live this one down, am.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
I you'll handsome today. I don't forget what I was.
Sam says, look at this guy. No, it's a compliment,
a compliment to Newsome. So he's got some Hickey's he's
covering up with that cornea. It's not a sex. He's
gonna hop on a motorcycle and ride across town. I
think you're a man of reason. Given a bunch of
five and six year old's big league chew. I thought
that was like, yeah, I'm a cool coach. My wife's like,

(04:35):
do you think parents want their five and six year
olds having gum?

Speaker 4 (04:40):
I have absolutely no problem with that.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I thought it was a big deal.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
When I was a kid with a little cartoon.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
But I'm not surprised.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Bro.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
I'm you know, like I said before, most popular coach
on Fox Sports Radio, I go to the little league field.
I want to hand out big league chew. I wonder
I will report back to my if a parent has
a problem with it.

Speaker 4 (05:02):
Next Caprice Sun the War on Ocean Spray.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Yeah, exactly. I don't Sunny d Little Hugs anymore right
that you're giving it orangeugs the little barrel exactly. In
quotation marks. Well, you know, it's water and gatorade and
orange slices. I'm glad you said that because that's where
they lean nowadays. And look, I'm not saying it's a
bad thing, but you know it's a little overboard sometimes.

(05:27):
I ask you to wrap up this amazing, hard hitting
conversation here on Fox Sports Radio when I bring up
Big League chew, Do you guys have your top tier
level little league pop water football, pl basketball snacks? Yes,
Reno's Italian ice. You said the hugs, I feel like

(05:48):
Charleston choos were like a snack shack food, like a
snackshack canty, Charleston choose. I felt like those little hugs,
sugar water bottles, hot dogs. Obviously you're not gonna fill
the Italian ice, the crunchy bottom on there blue Jalatti.
Of course, yeah, I was some Italian. I I was
also going to throw in warheads, remember those sour the

(06:08):
super sour warheads. Kids get through those two. You know
what else I'd get? It was very good humor ish,
so it's not like you would get a fat frog.
But they always had like strawberry shortcake, right, and you're
talking about those dessert bars, like the Chocolate Claire, like
the Chocolate Chief crunchies we call them. Yeah, what's the
other one, Like the almond one. Yeah, there's the almond one. Right,

(06:30):
those are good. They always have those. At the Little
league field. There were three. There was the chocolate one
with the chocolate inside, the strawberry shortcake, and you right,
the almond crunch or something. But as much as I
love Big League Chew Rich, my go to at the
Dick's Sporting's good sporting goods would be Gator gum or
Quench gum if we're going yeah, if we're going athletic gum.

(06:50):
Those are my choices. Man, So what are your thoughts?
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox at Covino and Rich.
I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all, am
I so prize that people would be questioning it or
show any concern about it, not at all, because I've
been there and again I have shown up with treats
and cupcakes and things like that, and I've been shut

(07:10):
down and I've said what really, Okay? I mean, my
wife is cool that she just gave me the heads up, like,
don't be shocked if your big League two idea doesn't
go over well, they might be parents like, yeah, can
we not give you know, little little Jackson bubblegum?

Speaker 6 (07:24):
Please?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
Ned Flanners did this to his children when they finally
got sugar, they were like coked out of their gourd.
That's a Simpon's listen to this. They haven't They have
to be there at eight am. I know this is
information you don't need, but just to pint the picture,
they got to be there at eight am for a
nine am parade and then they have a game at eleven.
So we're talking about five and six year olds that
have to be at a baseball field for four hours.

(07:45):
They need energy. I gotta give them some go go juice.
I feel I got shoul bring some Pixie six and
cake pops while I'm at it. Right, So your thoughts again?
Eight seven to seven, nine nine? Oues? Was that the
was that Mountain dew?

Speaker 2 (07:58):
Right?

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (07:59):
Go go juice?

Speaker 7 (07:59):
Is?

Speaker 1 (07:59):
But they that was a little no the chubby dance girl.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, yes it was.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Now, Actually that was mountain dew, wasn't it?

Speaker 8 (08:05):
Dude?

Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah or something?

Speaker 1 (08:07):
You knows. Covino's favorite mixed drinks from the two thousands,
Red Bull Vodka, Go Go Juice and ron Ron Juice
Ronnie from the True Story, True Story. So there you go.

Speaker 9 (08:19):
That that's that was my and palate of free code
red at all of our radio stations.

Speaker 1 (08:24):
Let us know what you think. Is Rich Rich being
too bold here or is this a normal I think
it's a normal thing, but I'm not surprised. Like I said,
your thoughts at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox
at Covino and Rich speaking of baseball, though, I want
to get into this. There's a few stories today in
the world of baseball before we talk football and quote
me and everything else Weekend hob nobin HM. I don't

(08:48):
know if you saw this, but Rob Manfred, or as
Ben Maller calls him, Manford blonded by the lah Manford
and Son. Is that he announces, Well, you know the
deal with MLB and ESPN, right, ESPN, in our opinion,
dropping the ball with their relationship with the MLB after

(09:10):
this year, no more baseball, tonight, no more baseball. They're
now in talks with Amazon, NBC, Universal and Netflix. So
MLB is looking for a new broadcast partner after breaking
times with the ESPN. I tell you my instinct is
that this is a huge win for the MLB and
a huge loss for ESPN. ESPN's heads up, the rest

(09:34):
had timing. It's like baseball's on a hot streak. Baseball
went from baseball's dying to a couple of years of
baseball growing. They have stars, they have big brands. That's like, uh,
asking for a divorce when right after your wife you
got those you know, nice ones stars. It's like it's like, uh,

(09:56):
you're right, it's like asking for a divorce. But she's like,
you know, I'm just trying to CrossFit. Yeah, it's like,
you know, baseball just got hot again, and now you're
saying goodbye. I'm not I'm not following. That has been great,
Like I get it. There were some years where baseball
was a little dicey. I was a little bored. I
was like, what are we doing? The rules they made worked,

(10:16):
They got big cities. As I heard Colin Eve been
pointing out, how which at cities, right, Yeah, cities, big cities.
Colin even pointed out that a lot of the big
stars are on big teams now stars. So baseball's in
a good moment right now. So for ESPN to step

(10:37):
away now is foolish. You know what, maybe when it's Netflix,
I was going to say, but maybe it's our win
as a result, maybe we see a new life. If
Netflix gets the coverage, more exciting, more highlights, maybe they
do a better job of creating these stars along with
the MLB. Right, So that's part of the story. ESPN

(10:58):
dropping the ball on every platform. Accept my dude, Gary Streiski,
who is doing Sports Center now on Disney. Plus, we're
friends with a lot of those dudes. Props to Gary
streisk He's the guy over there. Other than that, Hercules,
there's a lot of good dudes there that we used
to work with. From from a bigger picture, this is
not good for you, okay, But in the world of baseball,
what's today? Guys? It's the first of the mum, so

(11:25):
that means the madness begins and baseball right around the corner.

Speaker 2 (11:29):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
So I'm like salivating, rub my hands together like miagi,
rub my hands together like a fly, like yes, baseball time.
And I have been this excited in a long ass time,
This excited for baseball. So hopefully you get that excitement
from us. Danny G big Dodgers guy, I'm a big
Yankees fan. Rich is a huge Mets fan. Did you
Seejuan Soto? He went yard, and before he went yard,

(11:52):
he looked at the pitcher and gave one of those
head nods like I got you, goes Opo, next pitch.
So while MLB's and talks with Netflix and all these
other streaming services, NBC, Universal, Amazon, doesn't matter which one
they sign with. For me, Netflix sounds cool because I

(12:13):
got it. Let's go. But I start getting excited. I
start thinking about, Man, we're like twenty six days away Yankees.
Let's go in the Dodgers even sooner because they play away,
don't they, Danny g Aren't they playing away in Japan
or something?

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yep, that is the first game for the.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
So they started like two and a half weeks or
something for the first time in forever. Rich, thanks Elsa.
We often say here baseball is the only sport where
you can't watch other teams. You just watch your team.
When it comes to the NBA or the NFL, you'll
watch any good matchup, you'll watch any game baseball, just

(12:54):
your team. That's just how it is, and you see
the highlights of the other game. I can't find myself
on Aday deciding to watch the Cubs Diamondbacks. It's not
gonna happen.

Speaker 8 (13:04):
Now.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
You might think this isn't a stretch, but it is
for me. Okay, for the first time in my baseball
watching career. And I've been watching since I was a
little pumpkin pie hair cut it freak, just a little
kid picking my nose. You've been watching since it's blurry television.
I've been watching since blurry television with my Willie Randolph
T shirt on. For the first time in my baseball

(13:28):
watching history, I think I'm tuning into more than one team, oh,
meaning I'm also gonna be watching Riches Mets closely. That's
the difference, closely, because I'm genuinely excited and curious to
see what they do. You know the cast of characters,
you know the expectations, you know the storyline, and my goodness,

(13:52):
I'm out here in Los Angeles. You better believe I'm
tuning in to see the team that embarrassed my Yankees
last year. You're LA Dodgers.

Speaker 9 (14:00):
Does that mean you're gonna wake up at three in
the morning because you're right in Tokyo against the Cubs
on March eighteen.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know I just might. But for the first time,
Danny g it's not just like a casual Hey, let
me see what they're doing. I think, you know, if
it doesn't conflict with the Yankee schedule. Whenever it doesn't.
You know, I'm watching your Dodgers. You know, I'm watching
your Mets, which is why you know, regardless of what
you're streaming on, you got to you gotta watch them
on MLB. Yeah, I said to Cavino before the show.
I said, you know, last year, in the last couple seasons,

(14:30):
I was the cheapskate where I bought the package that
included it was on Amazon, where you could buy MLB
on Amazon, where I got just the Mets. I was
getting s n Y. I said, this is the year.
It's funny you should say this because I decided to say, Nah,
I think I want the whole MLB Dot TV package. Right,
you would just pay for your Mets, So now you
pay for the whole package, you get access to all

(14:50):
the other games. Honestly, I'll want to check out a
Phillies game here there. I want to is there? Like
I guess those would be the other two teams that
would garner great interest aside from your local team. If
you told me Erlander or Scherzer or one of these

(15:11):
veterans are starting on their new team, you're not gonna
watch the Blue Jays of the Giants or something. Skeens
is on the mound, Like, there's some some reasons that
you might want to check out other games and other
teams where that sort of interest level was just not
there years prior. If you told me Skeens is pitching
it Wrigley against the Cubs on a random afternoon, I

(15:31):
will watch about I never thought I would. The Pirates
versus the Phillies. You're not tuning in the Poop Game.
The Poop Game, actually they say they got rid of that,
they got rid of that graphic for the first time,
but for the first time, I actually care about other
teams other than my New York Yankees and whoever they're playing,

(15:52):
and I find that to be awesome. More reason why
I think that ESPN totally dropped the ball and pun
intended like Aaron Judge, And I want to know your
thoughts on this, trying to get you fired up for
the Yankees if you want to throw another team in there, like, yeah,
I know they're not on the Mets and Dodgers level.
But man, I really got my eyes on X Y
and so I'll tell you what. Let us know your division.

(16:13):
If you're an al Stan like Cavino, Yeah, every team
in that division has some intrigue to me. Are the
Yankees going to you know, continue to you know, set
the tone in that division? Red Sox tried in the
offseason to put some big names on that roster. The
Blue Jays, you know, they're trying to do some stuff.
Orioles are good raised somehow, always find a way to

(16:35):
hang around, and they usually clobber the Yankees. They have
their number for the most part. There's a lot of
good intrigues. So your thoughts, is baseball back in a
way for you where you will watch random games? Are
you more intrigued by baseball than in previous years? And
your thoughts about Oh, and let me make it clear
that doesn't mean I'm a fan of Riches Mets. Screw them.

(16:57):
I can't stand them, but there's enough introe where I
want to watch. Same with Danny G's Dodgers. I'm not
rooting for the Dodgers. You only root for one team,
but I'm definitely tuning in for more than one team
this year, and that's the first for me. Dude, your
thought is very consistent with how I feel like in football.
I'm a Niners fan, but I love watching Lamar Jackson.

(17:19):
I love watching Josh Allen. Yeah, there's and now we
got those vibes in baseball. That's cool baseball. It has
always sort of been. I really only want to watch
my team. But you're right, if I if I know,
it's like Padres Dodgers, how are you not pulled in
a little bit to that? I thought buying big league
chew for the T ball kids would go over as

(17:41):
a hit. Meanwhile, when we were kids, our coaches would
blow cigarette smoke in our face. My little league coach
straight up smoking cigars. So my littlely coach, no joke,
had a pipe had all times they were yeah, how
you doing, Stevie, you know face after your grandfather would
drive you to little league practice smoking in his car.
Let's go to Texas and David, what's up? Man? C?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
And R Hey, guys, how's it going. That's another show?

Speaker 1 (18:06):
Thank you?

Speaker 6 (18:06):
Hey man, I'm fifty eight years old.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
Back then, when I was in the Little league, back
in the late seventies, our coach used to give us
those bubblegum cigarettes. Yeah, and we were pretan we were
pretending to be smoking. And I have a picture somewhere
that there's a five of us, the cigarettes we're pretending
to be smoking. And man, it's Hilary's picture. Man, it's
one of those things that you memory, like a memory type.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Dude. We all have a pictures if you grew up,
if I grew up in the eighties, right, I have
pictures of me with a real cigarette in my mouth.
You know you're paying. I have a picture of me
in the washing machine, Like, haven't you a picture of
your your parents have a picture of me playing pool
as a little boy, playing pool with a cigarette in
my mouth, Like I'm lamp Wick from Pinocchio. Hey, hey,
you doing that? Hey yeah, April side pocket see you know,

(18:48):
because that's the time we grew up in now, Yeah,
can you bring big lead chew again? Which mimics tobacco,
I don't know, but also sugar treats a bunch of
five year olds having a bubble gum I don't know.
Jack in Washington State, I thought it was totally innocent.
What's that, brother?

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Hey, what's up?

Speaker 6 (19:06):
Guy? Yeah?

Speaker 8 (19:07):
I'm a long time youth sports coach. This I highly
approve of Big League cheered the It does remind me
though I bought a gatorade right. I thought the best
posts and game like celebration snack would be just like
ice cool gatorade on ice and like right, And my
wife was like, you can't. It's like with the red

(19:28):
dyes and stuff, you know, And so I was just like,
you know, a little red die. I never heard anybody,
but we had the exact same conversation. We just kind of,
you know, let kids opt in, but you know, kids
love it, right.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
But yeah, yeah, I'm gonna bring it to WITHSF. Someone
wants to complain, I'll roll my eyes with them. John
in Indiana, what's up, John, You're on Covin and Rich.

Speaker 10 (19:48):
Hey, guys, enjoy your show a whole lot.

Speaker 6 (19:53):
I am excited about baseball because I'm a baseball guy,
but uh, the game itself has because I'm a little
disappointing in the fact that it's you know, it's not
the baseball from back in the eighties and the nineties.

Speaker 10 (20:06):
But I am excited for baseball. As far as the
big blue Big League two goes. I probably would have
went with the old juicy fruit or something to give
him something. But I don't like mimicking the tobacco products
with me.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
But you know what, juicy fruit had the best theme
song of all the gums. We gotta be on to
move you man. The taste that's gonna get your ski
shined up, gripstick, juicy fruit, The taste is gonna move you.
Take a sniz what pull it out? What the taste
is gonna move you? When you propping it in your mouth?
Juicy fruit, you don't want to move you.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
Juice is soft getting rest to a juicy fruit.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
The taste, the taste, the taste is gonna move Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
I mean, how do we all remember that thirty years later?
I'll never know? Josh and Pennsylvania rerap this up, buddy, he.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Boy dit Rich.

Speaker 5 (21:00):
You're definitely the cool coat, all right, I hope? So yeah,
pint those kids off, you know, a nice big piece
of chee like Lenny dykester style. Tell the parents you
know their wine and we're raising athletes here.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
Yeah, who's going to complain the mom who secretly has
wine in her Stanley cup? Right? Come on? I think listen,
you do one thing for these kids, you give them
the big lead chew. But before that, you just show
them that scene from the Sandlot where they all take
Redman and then get on the tilter whirl or whatever
and they all throw up because they're sick. And that'll
teach the kids to not it was around up. Wasn't
it a round up? They were?

Speaker 9 (21:35):
Yeah, you could really throw the parents off, Rich, Just
feed the kids laughy taffy and gobstoppers.

Speaker 1 (21:41):
Oh I love laughing taffy. I know it doesn't matter.
What was it a tilted wear or was it was like,
it wasn't a tilted world. It was a round It
wasn't the gravitron, was it? It was like the yeah,
the round up? Okay, okay, why not I'm just asking
for the sake of conversation, Rich, why not the sunflower
seats because I thought that's where a high school. Okay,

(22:01):
I feel like I got into sunflower seeds, which, by
the way, the sunflower seed game gave back, aren't they.
It has a ton of different brands now, And no,
you kept that in the back pocket of your baseball
Who didn't, right, It was a gravitron, by the way. Yeah,
the gravitrun mad. You would climb up the wall the kids.
I always thought Gravitron was the inside one where the

(22:24):
floor drops. The round up was like we without the cover,
you know what where you you stand up against the
wall and they start spinning around. We call that a
silly silo. And I see, I didn't know that. And
then you were actually suspended off the ground. Yeah, so yeah,
show them that scene, Rich, teach them a lesson. I'm listen.
I'm trying not to overdo with the kid coaching stuff.
But by the way, that is a good idea to have,

(22:45):
like a teen movie night for something you've never seen before.
I fine, I feel like this sounds corny as hell,
but I feel like I was born to coach kids
like this. I really do. Like I'm getting so much
joy out of it. So I apologize and I talk
about it too much, but it's great. Coaching kids sports
is so much on. Like I've already little things like
one of my buddies goes, no, you gotta do what

(23:06):
you gotta teach him to take a knee. I'm like,
what do you mean? He goes, So I've been doing this.
I'm like, all right, boys, get over here, take a knee.
You gotta teach these kids a little things, like you know,
you're getting a little you know, get a little circle,
take a knee.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
I like that.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
Also when they spin around, you know how you get
a little boy to stop spinning around when he swings
a bat, smack him in the head. No, tell him,
what are you a ballerina? I'm sorry, I was thinking.
I was thinking about how our eighties coaches would handle it. No,
my my eighties. What are you doing?

Speaker 2 (23:30):
A kid?

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Get over here? But I think it's Is it still
fair game to say are you a ballerina? And he's
like no, I'm like, well, ballerina, spin around. That's how
you get a little boy to stop spinn around quick
If is that politically correct? If you want to talk
about if gum is okay, I'll stick with the baller
anything until someone stops. So baseball is in the air.
It's March. We're excited. Watch look at him busted out

(23:53):
a new Yankee hat. Today February still the last day?

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Is it before? I wasn't gonna correct tomorrow. Okay, tomorrow's
the first of the month. But I'm excited about this weekend.
I'm excited about baseball. I'm already ready to wrap up February.
I'm getting way ahead of myself. Let's kick it to
Isaac Low and Crime. What's up, Isaac the Governor?

Speaker 7 (24:13):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Isaac, do you also know the Big Red theme?

Speaker 4 (24:17):
I don't know the strength.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Okay, I'm ready. What's funny? Is you start ricking?

Speaker 4 (24:20):
What's insane?

Speaker 11 (24:21):
Though?

Speaker 7 (24:22):
Is that juicy for commercial? Had not crossed my consciousness
for at least the last thirty years. Yet we all know.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
On Commemory unlocked, hold on, I was saying, you're right,
so kiss a little longer.

Speaker 7 (24:38):
Stay closed, a little longer, a little longer, longer.

Speaker 12 (24:42):
With Bige, a longer, boy, a little longer with Big Red.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Very good, look at the clock. We got to get
this updated.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
It.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Meanwhile, tragically, none of us can remember the words to
the Pledge of Allegiance.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
That's baseball, that's baseball.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
I'm so scared. We're like the Jesse Spano's of Fox
Sports Radio, not baseball. We're so excited and rich and
excited about the weekend. Now, I'll give you a dollar
if you could tell me the name of the girl
group from say by the Bell, the group that Jesse

(25:41):
Spano is in when she was like, I'm so excited.
I'm so scared. I don't know what is it. I
know the Zac Attack, I know that was your favorite band.
I had their out. I think I know. Is it
hot something? Yes?

Speaker 2 (25:54):
Hot?

Speaker 1 (25:54):
Treat Sam. You almost want a dollar Hot Sunday Hot
Sunday sun Nice. I'm so excited. We're Cavino and Rich
so excited for the weekend in baseball on the month
of March, the madness and to be here on Fox
Sports Radio live from the tire rack dot Com studio.
Quick reminder that next hour weekend hobnobbing and the game

(26:16):
that's sweeping the nation. Your chance to win some prizes.
Quote me, it's multiple choices. Easy. We'll tell you when
to call and get ready, Danny and Sam and everyone.
You're gonna love this new strategy I have every time
I now go to a kid's birthday party where I'm
stuck talking to other parents, stuck stark duck, guys, come back.
I have a new strategy, which is, you know what,

(26:39):
if I'm stuck talking to these people, I'm gonna get
something out of this. How do you feel? How do
you know they're not stuck talking to you. Of course
they are. But now I feel every day now I say, hey,
take out your phone and I tell them to download
our podcast. Nice. I like, if you're gonna talk to
me at a kid's birthday party, at least download the
hard work. Danny G puts out of one victim out

(27:00):
of time. By the way, we're big time. We have
a QR code and everything. Oh you, oh yeah, thanks
for Dylan's birthday party. To download our podcast and you
could get a side of spinach, charta, choke tiph Dylan's
birthday party, chuck e cheese. What a place. Hey, take
out your phone? Yeah, I dope. Hey, coming on, Rich,
there you go download Boom like it. You should do
the same, one person at a time. You're telling me,

(27:22):
I constantly promoted. I'm telling everyone all our listeners. Now,
if you're stuck out about and you're struggling for small talk,
you could say that we're your best friends. I like it,
all right, Tell everybody you're our associate producer. Yeah, it's
all good. We'll back it up. Not our executive. That
would be Danny G. Dating back in the day when
we worked for Maximum, the men's member the men's magazine

(27:43):
when magazines existed.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
Of course, we got a stack of them back at home.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
We used to tell our listeners that we would voucher
them if they told women they were model scouts. How
wrong is that. We used to sell talent scout T
shirt talents. Yeah we did. Anyway, I'm having breakfast with
the wife this morning, having a little bacon and cheese,
and I get the alert on my phone more NFL
insiders are fighting. No, I get the alert that Isaac

(28:08):
was throwing hands with damn Bayer. No, I get the
alert that, as Cavino said yesterday, it makes no sense
for Matthew Stafford to go anywhere but the Rams, I
argued the Raiders was a decent number two because Vegas
is so damn close to southern California. But you know what, Cavino,
you were right. I was wrong. No, I mean I

(28:30):
liked your things. Trying to speculate. Yeah, it was a
great speculation. Plus the rumor of him being buddy chummy
Palin around on a mountain skiing where Brady was in
the air. I heard they were snow tubing on a
double tube. Yeah, so it's not like it came from nowhere,
But I was like, it would make the most sense
for him just stay where he is and put I
did make the argument that he's got a beautiful home

(28:52):
in Hidden Hills, he's won a Super Bowl for the Rams.
McVeigh loves him at the Helm, his kids are in
a school district. This is where he wants to be.
It only makes sense. And you got the alert this
morning that Matthew Stafford restructuring the deal will remain a
Los Angeles Ram moving forward, which means, like Danny g said,

(29:14):
one piece one Domino has fallen, which means now teams
like the Raiders, teams like the Vikings, teams like the Giants,
teams like the Steelers, your move now. Because you know,
as they said, what Stafford was one of those pieces,
him and Aaron Rodgers. There's a couple pieces that once
they figure out where those dudes land, then other teams

(29:34):
will pivot. Well, now that Matthew Stafford's returning to the Rams,
the report from Yahoo Sports or the speculation is Aaron
Rodgers to the Giants. Some sources are telling Adam Schefter
Adam shape Schefter that it's a possibility Giants are interested.
Another thing that we speculated on not trying to take credit.

(29:54):
I told you so. I told you it just made
so much sense because they're looking for a veteran leader,
and he likes New York. He wouldn't have to move
that far.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
He kissed a lot of behind in New York the
past couple of years.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
Did it would be a waste, never even going to
like Broadway shows. He was at Knicks games on the
big screen.

Speaker 2 (30:13):
Think he wants to do all that over again in
a new city.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
Nah, not at all, just running back across town, same stadium.
It just makes sense. It does, so I would say
that's a strong possibility, even more now that Stafford's a Ram.
So congrats, Los Angeles, you keep one of your stars,
Matthew Stafford. You could argue that if you look at

(30:36):
the Lakers, the Dodgers, the Rams, the King's out here
in la Is Stafford a top five to ten, got
top five face of the city. Sports wise, Yeah, definitely,
he's got a Super Bowl. He stays put without a doubt,
So then he's got quarterback face. He's a handsome guy.
Kingrats too. He's got some big chompers too. What a smile.

(30:58):
And you know what I told you. His wife's got
her post here, some big white chick lits. They're happy here.
And he's got pookin the koa. He lost cup. But
you know what, they'll they'll be all right, they'll compete.
So I want to bring us something real quick because
we have other stuff to get to. But I gotta
I gotta call someone out in a fun way. Don
dunt get old butt hurt. There's a dude that works
here at Fox Sports Radio. Calls him say, he has

(31:19):
like twenty nicknames, Big Vanilla Poppy, big Funny, Big Galute,
Big VT Sports Vernon. I don't know a big Vanilla funny.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Get that.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Cory Rich always been really cool with us. Oh, I
just got to bust his chops because first of all,
the guy's got great social media because he has like
a photographer follow him now, so he's got all this
cool video like he's a celebrity. I see a video
of him on his social media and he's at Crypto
and he's reporting and he's doing this like you're not

(31:51):
really watching him, but you're watching him like, oh, there's
a camera. Hero shocking. He grabs a basketball, takes a three,
nothing but no, and I'm wondering he had to do
that twenty times?

Speaker 2 (32:03):
Right?

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Is that a one? And is that a one? And done?
And he got it.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
We got to get his videographer on the phone.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Ten at least it's heavy, right or you think one time?
You know, I'm a big fight fan. There's some good
fights this week, and I'll tell you about in weekend hobnobbing.
There's a few rumors I want to throw them out there.
Can just tell me which one excites you the most.
By the way, did you tell Danny g to send
your mom and new swiggy Danny? Did you hear the
story of Covino's mom and the swiggy?

Speaker 2 (32:30):
No.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
Someone heard that her last name was Caveno right in
the neighborhood. In the neighborhood and I was like, wait
a minute, you're Steve Covino's mother. I'm a huge fan.
My mom was like being weird and like sitting on
the front porch like taking in the sun or something.
And a guy was like, are you Steve Camino's mom.
She went in the house and she's like, the least
I could do is give you his swiggy sweating at

(32:52):
She gave away her swiggy Wow. Yeah, she's always promoting
too so cool weird guy and you need new jersey.
Shout out to you.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
Yeah, Cove, I'll add your mom onto the next mailing.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
Lie nice nice. I appreciate it. But they're real nice.
So if you want to play and you want to
win eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Now here
are the rumors as of today. As you know, last weekend,
it was the weekend before. Recently, BIVL beat better BF
right one seventy five undisputed. Now, okay, according to today rumors,

(33:22):
because you never know what this stuff, right, WBC is
ordering Bivil to fight the Mexican monster Benavidez. So that's
one rumor that seems to be legit, but again, you
never know what this stuff. Bell Benavidez. Now, for people
that don't know, I hear Bibl, I hear Bevell. But
he's the guy that, if I'm right, didn't he beat
Canelo Alvarez? He did at one seventy five, So Bibles

(33:45):
the guy. He's got all the belts. And now they're
saying WBC is saying you gotta fight David Benavidez. Okay,
So Beneviev Bell Bivel del Bel, Bilo Bell, Bibble delib
Bell BIV betterbef.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
That's a mouthful. Play the rim shot on yourself.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
There, thank you. This is also legit again according to
you Never Know, in the world of boxing, there is
gonna be an unbelievable card in the works May second
Times Square reported by Ring Magazine. It's like all the
big stars, stars of the junior welterweight division, the one

(34:24):
fortuns are fighting on one card.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (34:28):
So you got Ryan Garcia, who's back. I was gonna
say he was suspended, right, Versus Roly Romero. So two
trash talkers with a lot of pop Sea shouldn't beat him.
But Roly's good though.

Speaker 2 (34:40):
Well.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Tank Davis said that Roly was the hardest he ever
been hit. Okay, okay, so he just has a glass chin.
This is all the same card, mind you. Okay? So Garcia, Romero,
Devin Haney versus Jose Ramirez, a former champion, Boto Loco forever.
Jose was on our ESPN show, Real nice dude, Tia Fimo,

(35:02):
Lopez and Barbosa all on the same card, dude, til
those are those are three I wouldn't say top top
tier fights, but those are three top those on the
same card. Yes, And then if you're a boxing fan,
and I know because Covino I always hear him talk
about it, Tia Fimo, Barbosa, Ramirez, ro League Garcia. These

(35:22):
are all big names in that division. Yeah, may second,
New York City, all on the same card. And then
this week I don't know if you missed it, but
Floyd Money Mayweather was on Jimmy Fallon and he was
asked like, what about Jake Paul And He's like easy work.
He's like easy work? Kidding me? At forty eight, il
whoop his ass? That's easy work. I'll beat his ass.

(35:43):
Jake Paul is now like I'll knock him out? Are
you kidding me? How much bigger I am? I'm like
twice his size? And now this is building up slowly,
but surely it's a spectacle. It's stupid, but it's it's
it's building. I'll say that. So, if all those awesome
fights in a stupid spectacle that's being hyped, which one
excites you the most? O? My answer is going to

(36:05):
make you want to throw up in your mouth. If
Mayweather Jake Paul and that's all listen because Mayweather he's
forty eight, just turned forty eight, undefeated. That's ten years
younger than Tyson who couldn't get the jobs. Also, lot,
he's a lot smaller, a lot smaller, but he's had
some pretty decent looking exhibitions here and there. Yeah, he's

(36:26):
had shape. Mayweather way smaller versus Jake Paul. That to
me the intrigue because of the big size difference, Jake
Paul significantly bigger, the ultimate skill and defense of it.
And again, remember Mayweather fought Logan Paul, so it's not
out of the question. It's Paul versus small. Yeah, let
me tell you, let me tell you Mayweather I would

(36:49):
say this, I don't think he could hurt Jake Paul. Well, again,
those are the rumors. Some of them are legit, some
are you know, you just never know. Things fall through
all the time. But as a fight fan, those excitement,
maybe Jake Paul, maybe Floyd Mayweather out boxes him and
just makes him look like, all right, you're just not
there because Mayweather's got that defense in the skill. Maybe

(37:11):
he'll outland punches. But the only part of that fight
that seems boring to me is like a lot of
Mayweather fights, I don't think Mayweather packs a punch that
could hurt a guy as big as Jake Paul. Jake Paul,
I would saying Jake Paul's big, he's our site. He's
a six foot guy. Mayweather's a small dude. All right, Well,

(37:31):
your thoughts at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio.
And there's some great fights this weekend that I'll tell
you about and weekend Hobnobby. But now I'll watch all
of them. Yeah, but I think most would just casually
watch Mayweather Jake Paul. I hate to say it, man,
I know right, people want the spectacle, but there's some
good stuff in the works. So now it's time to
play the game. Sports media and athletes are quoted a

(37:54):
lot stars. Here comes to hot take quotes, and he
should step down his head coach. This is not a
one game we asked him because they.

Happy Friday, guys, I'm a technician.

Speaker 9 (39:39):
Break DMP, nice man nice Okay, really quick, since the
first time a lot of you are playing this game,
I'll give you a sample question here.

Speaker 2 (39:46):
All right, here's the quote. Quote me hoo me.

Speaker 9 (39:50):
For all I know, I would have been in the pros.
I would have been David Wright instead of David Wright.
I remember if I'd go oppoh instead of being like, oh,
I went with the outside pitch. Oh, you're not getting
around on the ball. Whose quote is that? A KFC
B Rich Davis or C. Jason Smith spot Spot Rich Davis?

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yes, I did actually wait did he actually say that?

Speaker 12 (40:15):
Again?

Speaker 1 (40:15):
I want a word.

Speaker 9 (40:17):
I thought this was a joke. He actually said this.
It said this. This is how it sounded on the
CNR Show.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
For all I know, I would have been in the pros.
I would have been David Right instead of David Wright.
I remember if I would go opo instead of being like, oh,
I went with that outside pitch. Oh, you're not getting
around on the ball, David wrong. My coach is growing
up used to tell me if you don't get around
on the ball, like, that's not good. Definitely not putting
five on them. You know, when it when quoted and

(40:45):
on paper, it makes me want to punch you in
the note I could have been, could have been David
had too much Big League two.

Speaker 9 (40:53):
All right, here we go, this is for real. Round one.
Here comes to the quote, guys, your.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Name is your brother, right, Danny? Yes, suck.

Speaker 9 (41:01):
It is a doggie bag, as in Aaron Rodgers is
ready to dine on leftovers. He is perfectly fine and
realizes his place in the cosmos. If the Rams send
Matthew Stafford to Jersey and the Giants, Rogers will slide
on into the penthouse apartment in the Ram facility. Quote
me hote me a Dan Patrick, b Ben Maller or

(41:22):
C Doug gottlieb oh.

Speaker 1 (41:26):
B Comino, Covino, Ben Mallin. It was Ben Mallar boom.
You know what, because I listened to a lot of
Ben Mallor and he just cuts everybody up. Dude, Stephen A, No,
if you gave me a Rob Parker that dog, I
can see doggie bag. I could have saw that, but
it had to be Ben Mallin.

Speaker 2 (41:46):
This is what it sounded like.

Speaker 11 (41:47):
It is a doggie bag, as in Aaron Rodgers is
ready to dine on leftovers. He is perfectly fine and
realizes his place.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
In the cosmos.

Speaker 11 (41:57):
If the Rams send Matthew staff to Jersey and the Giants,
Rogers will slide on into the penthouse apartment in the
RAM facility.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
And you know what, that storyline is now dead because
we found out today Stafford stay with the Ram so quickly.

Speaker 9 (42:12):
Who will go to Jersey? Covino is on the board
as we moved around two. Here's the quote. They know
who Luca is. They've watched him for seven years. It
ain't like that this is a knee jerk reaction and
they just knew him from the weekend and made a
snap decision on who he is.

Speaker 2 (42:30):
Quote me, is that me?

Speaker 1 (42:32):
Hey?

Speaker 9 (42:32):
Rob Parker? B Nick Wright or C Mike Harmon, Oh.

Speaker 1 (42:41):
I'll give you a chance? Or hey you know no,
no instincts here what we're trying.

Speaker 2 (42:45):
To get you? Man, You're gonna go Nick Wright? No Isaac,
Isaac for the steal?

Speaker 4 (42:51):
See Mike Harmon, No, y Rob Parker?

Speaker 2 (42:54):
That was Rob Parker. This is what it sounded like.

Speaker 1 (42:57):
They know who Luca is. They've watched them for seven years.
It ain't like that this is a knee jerk reaction
and they just knew him for them from the weekend
and made a snap decision on who he is. He's
a diaper.

Speaker 4 (43:12):
I'd like to register a complain. You did not read
that quote with the Rob Parker inflection point marker.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Do you see the story how Genie Buss also was
very pumped to get Luca because it was gigi favorite
player and it meant a lot to Kobe, and she
knows he's she knows he's happy up there that Luca's
part of the team.

Speaker 9 (43:32):
That I thought that was kind of cool. Cove, you know,
you're the only one on the board so far as
we go to round three. Here's the quote. I'm going
to keep it a big buck as I only know
how to do. Steve Smith, did you a favor?

Speaker 2 (43:46):
Bro?

Speaker 9 (43:46):
He identified who he was actually married to. Shit't loyal
to you, She don't belong to you. If I'm Steve Smith,
I would have added something else. I did what I
was supposed to do.

Speaker 2 (43:56):
She threw it.

Speaker 9 (43:57):
I caught it. I'm a receiver. Quote me, who me?
Who said it? A Paul Pierce, B. Cam Newton or C.
Stephen A Smith?

Speaker 1 (44:07):
Oh, Covino code for the win. Steven A. Smith, C.

Speaker 2 (44:14):
Steal Cam Newton B. Yes.

Speaker 1 (44:16):
By the way, that story is juicy, dude, juicy.

Speaker 2 (44:20):
Honestly, this is the way it sounded.

Speaker 1 (44:22):
I'm gonna keep it a big butt as I only
know how to do. Steve Smift, did you a favor?

Speaker 2 (44:26):
Bro?

Speaker 1 (44:27):
He identify who you actually was married to? Shee and lawyer?

Speaker 9 (44:31):
Do you you?

Speaker 1 (44:34):
She don't belong to you. If I'm Steve Smith, I
would have added something else. I did what I was
supposed to do. If you don't know the Steve Smith story,
look it up. It's a it's a weird one.

Speaker 2 (44:45):
All right.

Speaker 9 (44:45):
Here we go round four, both C and R on
the board. Here's some quote. Guys, he really don't have
anything else left to prove, and if people say he does,
they're Jordan fans. He's in here before the game, always
putting in work. He never stops, which is very impressive
because sometimes I just want to lay down and take
a nap. Quote me hoo, me was that A JJ

(45:08):
Reddick B. Dalton connect or C. Austin Reeves, Austin Rehney.

Speaker 2 (45:15):
You gotta say your name.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yes, Jorge jumps on the board that was a big
focus week.

Speaker 9 (45:23):
Yeah for a three way tige, Covino, Rich, Jorge and
Fort Lauderdale all on the board. Guys, that means we
go to overtime. Here's the quote for overtime. I think
the fans here tonight, even the Magic fans, they know
they're witnessing the greatest shooter ever and one of the
greatest performers ever. It's not just the shots going in,
it's the fluidity and the beauty of his motion and

(45:45):
the audacity the shots he's willing to take. Quote me,
hoot me, was that a Steve kerr b, Jimmy Butler
or C Buddy healed?

Speaker 2 (45:57):
Rich Rich got in their first.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I don't think it Jimmy Butler. I'll let him guess that.

Speaker 2 (46:02):
It's not Jimmy Butler.

Speaker 1 (46:03):
That is uh buddy here. No, I love it when
he's confident.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
I'm wrong.

Speaker 9 (46:09):
I love it you're so confident. All right, One more
overtime question here to try to get a winner? Oh
my goodness, here's the quote. Yeah, good game. I want
teams to believe I can go out there and win games.
If a team wants a winner, a franchise leader, they
know who to call.

Speaker 2 (46:25):
Quote me, who me?

Speaker 9 (46:28):
Was that a Shador Sanders B Dylan Gabriel or C Jackson.

Speaker 3 (46:33):
Dart George Chador?

Speaker 2 (46:37):
No, because you know somebody for the win, Covino for
the win.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Dart.

Speaker 1 (46:44):
B Man A way to salvad ready, Yeah, there we go.
Quote this. You guys are all idiots?

Speaker 2 (46:55):
How am I the idiot?

Speaker 1 (46:56):
You guys didn't get the answers right?

Speaker 2 (46:59):
A wow? Oh I got you. That's a good host
all right. Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (47:06):
Man, because nobody wins wins.

Speaker 9 (47:10):
I think you're right. And we always have that uh
that rule. Dan Byer put in, if somebody puts a
good game on the board, we mail them a swigg.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
Yeah, if you bring the enthusiasm, like joor Hey, we
got your brow, we got poor Hey, you got a
swiggy man, you hailed out and we went to distance.

Speaker 2 (47:25):
You're ready, yes, stay on the brother.

Speaker 1 (47:28):
Thank you, man. That was a good That was a
good one, Danny g some of them. I knew. Jorgey
got the best of me on that on that Reeves one.
I knew that quote. Those were good ones, man, Thank you.
I feel like the clue for Rob Parker one is
if it's preposterous, right, but I got to hear the
voice because I love rob Oh. I heard Colin talking

(47:57):
about stars and stars stars, and he went on this
long Lebron rant about how he's probably the second best
player in the league. Yokich be number one, I guess,
but you got Yannis KD. Curry, all these big names.

(48:18):
Lebron playing like he's twenty seven years old, defense, shooting, revitalized,
like he found the fountain of youth. But the gist
of Colin's theory was, is Lebron just showing off, reminding
everybody that you have to get through him on the West?
Now that Luca's there, is he reminding everybody that you know,

(48:40):
I'm still the guy? Did Luca force his hand to
find the fountain of youth? Meaning you see how Curry
sort of lighting up now that Butler's there, and he
also ties into the Super Bowl when Brady was looked
at like the old guy and Mahomes was the fresh

(49:02):
new face, and Brady want to remind everybody real quickly, Nah,
I'm still Tom Brady, I'm still the guy. It's a
great way to light somebody's fire, to bring some young
blood in there and to wake up that old dog.
Is Luca in a competitive way, in a healthy way,
lighting Lebron's fire, reminding Lebron like, yo, you got to

(49:26):
be the guy, You're still the guy. I think that's
a great sort of way to look at things. And
I think you see that at the workplace. I really do,
you know, when young blood is in there, it keeps
everyone else on their toes, It really does. So I
buy into that because you do see Lebron playing like, whoa,

(49:47):
how old is this guy? How is he doing this?
Don't you believe Danny g that it's not that Lucas
exciting him. He's also like, yo, I'm still the best,
and it's like a healthy competitive back in.

Speaker 9 (50:00):
I think another great thing about the acquisition for the
Lakers is Lebron would go to the bench, the bet
squad would be in and get behind in the game.
Lebron would always have to come back onto the court
when the Lakers would suddenly be trailing. Now there's the
option of having another superstar on the court while he's
taken a few minutes to catch his breath. When he

(50:22):
gets back onto the court, the team still has a
ten point lead.

Speaker 1 (50:25):
So he physically is getting this advantage. But you know,
people are saying, dude, he seems like he has more
energy than Luca at forty seven Lucas twenty six. Let
me give you a silly analogy, but you see it
all the time when someone has an aging pet. A
lot of times when they get a puppy, it brings

(50:45):
that ailing pet back. The lazy dog all of a
sudden starts playing again. Like there's that sense. We've seen
it with you know, your family, your friends, where it's like, yeah,
old you know, Buttons, the Golden retriever has been lazy
and sitting around forever. You get a little puppy, that
old dog starts playing fetch again for some reason. So
and we're seeing that with Steph and Butler, we're seeing that.

(51:07):
We saw that with Brady versus Mahomes. He's like, no, no, no,
it revitalized him. And we're seeing it in one of
the grandest ways possible with Lebron for multiple reasons. It's
just that fire inside and he's actually getting more rest
as a result. But it's kind of wild to see.
And I think, you know, an algae rich I think
is so true here. It inspires a lot of people

(51:28):
reminding the other people that they got to step their
game up too, and no one wants to feel like
the old lazy guy at the workplace. You bring in
some young man or woman with new, fresh ideas, and
they're young the old people sometimes out of insecurity you're like,
oh crap, I better step it up exactly, And honestly,
it's true with pets. You got you get an old,
you know, lazy hound sitting around, and you get some little, yappy,

(51:52):
little puppy brings a little life to the old timer.
So so do you think Colin was saying he's the
second best player in the league. Do we agree on
that right now?

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Maybe?

Speaker 1 (52:01):
Right now Lebron is lightening it up. But then again,
so were the Golden State Warriors man since Butler's been
on the team. So there you go. The Lebron fountain
of youth theory makes a lot of sense when you
think about the old dog. And by the way, today
do they take Luca out for a little birthday cocktail

(52:24):
or dessert after the game? Happy birthday? Luca is twenty
six today twenty six, So happy birthday, you're young buck,
just showing guy's got fifteen you know, Lebron's got fifteen
years on this guy, So Lebron's showing the fountain of
youth and tonight Lakers Clippers Clippers are favored. Is that
because the Lakers played more this week?

Speaker 9 (52:45):
Yeah, and there was a couple of injuries a big
one to Ruey and his knee in last night's game,
and at the end of the game it looked like
Lebron maybe tweaked his hamstring.

Speaker 2 (52:54):
A little bit.

Speaker 1 (52:54):
So why not play full full some injuries going into
this game for the Lakers. Well, if you go to
our Instagram story right now at covine on Rich, I mean,
I'm not saying millions of people have voted so far,
but it is currently one hundred percent to zero of
people that think VJ. Vernon Husky took twenty five shots
instead of nailed it on his first shot. If you

(53:15):
don't know what I'm talking about, one of our coworkers
who's in the video. He's a great broadcaster, by the way,
listening out for him. VJ. Husky. He was at the
Lakers game, covering the game, doing the behind the scenes
interviews and everything, and he goes on the court grabs
a basketball, three point or nothing but the bottom of
the net. So our question was but he's pretending like,

(53:36):
you know, first shot, and I'm thinking, was it first shot?
Or do you think he's like, yo, yo, record this
all right? Do it again? All right? Do it again
and again? All right? Do it again and again? Was
it really shot twenty five? There's no way. There's no way, dude.
If you posted the deal with your wife, your perception
is a little off when you're there at a big

(53:57):
in a big moment like that too, like it's going
to take you a few just to find your rhythm,
you know what I mean. Think of how many times
you record something on Instagram or TikTok for your wife
or kids or something. Do you ever take the first take?
Now has the first take of anything? Unless your Frank Sinatra.
It's like you always burn the first pancake, Rich, You'll
always burn the friend Danny G. If we take a

(54:18):
picture of us, what do we do? We always take
multiple pictures. If we do a video like yo, Danny G,
come over here, you know, let's do that again. Let's
do a better one.

Speaker 2 (54:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (54:27):
Rarely does the first one come out the right way.
When you're trying to do something athletic, especially like make
a long shot. Another one, it would surprise me if
he did that on his first But then again, he
I for what I know. He was an athletic dude
in high school. He just decided to go to broadcasting.

Speaker 2 (54:45):
You know.

Speaker 9 (54:45):
He works with radio legend Steve Hartman. This Saturday on
our network from eight to eleven Eastern. I'm gonna text
our boy Steve Hartman right now to bring this up
on the weekend Showeez.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Look, no one's saying he can't make a three point
We all can make a three point shot. I mean,
did he make it on his first square? Yeah, that's
the question. The analogy for me would be I love baseball, right,
there's a decent chance, especially without a doubt, with an
aluminum bat, I could hit a home run out of
Dodger Stadium? Would in bet?

Speaker 2 (55:16):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Maybe I have wanting track power. Maybe I could do it.
That's up for debate. But that would be like me
being like, yo, grab a bet first swing bomb? Who
you want? So too? Yeah? Exactly? So, I mean like
I admired the gusto. Oh he has one vote, one person,
one verson. Yes, it's his own vote, eight hundred and
forty seven votes to one. All right, So hit the

(55:36):
producer up and maybe they'll talk about it this weekend.
But hey, having fun here Friday, let's go for the weekend.
You're winning bets for talking points. If you get stuck socializing,
you ever done anything dangerous? You ever dance with the devil?

Speaker 4 (55:50):
In the panel line, Friday brings us weekend hab Nay, yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:57):
Buddy, I'm gonna kick it off. You need to watch
it all the sports and pop culture. So come Monday,
you know what's going on. You can carry a conversation.
You cut a little bit of everything, all right, trying
to keep you well rounded CNR on FSR. Now we
talked about some good fights. If you get caught, by
the way, what's the rule now, the new rule, if
you get caught talking to like a weird coworker or

(56:17):
a parent at the school. If you get stuck in
a moment and be like, hey, if you checked out
coming on rich grab their phone and download a podcasts
there you got. I like it. That's the new get
out of an awkward scenario move.

Speaker 2 (56:27):
I like it.

Speaker 1 (56:28):
So. In the World of Fighting on Amazon pay per
View this weekend, Dravante Tank Davis defending the WBA Lightweight
Championship belt at one thirty five against Lamont Roach, who's
twenty five to one and one. So Dravante Tank Davis
fights this weekend Jamont Antlews. I don't think he's aither

(56:49):
was undefeated. I think Mario Barrios is on that car too. Anyway,
I'm excited just to watch that one again pay per
view in the world. At UFC, what you got there
is fighting. He's fighting Alma bif and that's a flyweight
fight UFC Fight Night, but Brundage versus Marquez and the

(57:10):
co main event is going to be an exciting one.
That's in middleweight. Did you say robocops fighting RoboCop monel
cop oh okay ipe, I swear I heard RoboCop. No
no no. By the way, I speaking of UFC, did
you see that the UFC might have a collaboration in
training FBI agents? Way did you see this? I did
not imagine in the middle of an FBI bust in

(57:31):
the incomes first, I think they should recruit, should train
the FBI being serious, that's a real headline. I thought
to do that. New leadership at the FBI and uh,
you know Dana White Trump their kind of buddies. It's
all kind of circular. I mean it's speaking of fights.
Trump got in a pretty good fight today. And by
the way, you know, when I think about it, it

(57:53):
sounds equal parts ridiculous, but equal part makes sense. I guess,
so like I mean right, I mean we haven't seen
the result of it. UFC training FBI guys, I mean
in hand combat, I mean stranger things about so some
good box anymore, UFC Fight Night. And I just want
to shamelessly promote what I think is one of the
best shows that we do. That We have our bonus podcast,

(58:18):
episode eighty two of Over Promised premier this week, and
we get you fired up some more about baseball, the
greatest sport. We talk about Nasty Nest Cortes and the
World Series last year, but we get you excited about
baseball coming soon, and we talk Gene Hackman. We do
a little Gene Hackman tribute and go over some fictional

(58:38):
coaches in all the sports, TV and movies. All right,
So OVER promised us on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Stuff you need to watch this weekend. You can finally
watch Paradise. I might actually, yeah, I think I might.
Is it? Because every I know you hate my opinion
because you you know, just how our relationship. But when

(58:59):
every other friend you have is like, dude, he'sable, I'm
starting get a little bit of fomo because everyone and
I don't want the surprise. Rooum. I know there's a twist,
and I feel like I'm on the cusp of finding
out what that twist is. I want to discover it.

Speaker 2 (59:12):
I'll tell you right.

Speaker 9 (59:12):
No, my wife, it took her the first two episodes
to really By the third she was like, Okay, I
get it.

Speaker 1 (59:20):
Now I'm hooked. So we're on episode four now Paradise. Yes,
episode seven of Paradise. I'm hearing it's like the best
episode ever. It might be the best episode of a
TV show since maybe like Red Wedding on Game of
Thrones or one of those like Yo, that could be
a movie. That episode could be a movie. So if
you're watching Paradise, it's on Hulu. Sterling K. Brown from

(59:40):
This is Us James Marsden, who you said, how do
you not love that guy? He's great? James Marrison is great.
This is a show that I started watching last night
in the same vein as Paradise. Zero Day with Robert
de Niro. You may think de Niro stinks as a
guy these days, like he's very you know, politically, like

(01:00:01):
he's rubbed a lot of people the roadway, But as
an actor he's still a little bit. He's still bring
Zero Days, Like eighty three Zero Day. He plays a
former president and let's just say there's like a cyber
attack and a lot of crap goes wrong and he's
sort of thrown into the mix as a former president,
like they trust you go and it's one of those

(01:00:23):
like end of the world type of deals.

Speaker 2 (01:00:25):
Yeah, watch the trailer. It looks good.

Speaker 1 (01:00:26):
Watch again. Zero Day will where Netflix? Netflix. It's a
it's a six part mini series, episode one so far,
so good, so both of the same. Vein Paradise and
Zero Day If you need something lighter, I watched this
one last night Late night on Netflix. Kate Hudson, based

(01:00:46):
on her close relationship with Genie Buss, a television show
loosely based on Genie Buss's life. It's called Running Point,
takes over a fictional LA basketball team who what do
they call the Los Angeles Wave, Like they can't use

(01:01:07):
the Lakers or anything, but she takes over the Wave
and like it's not like a rated R, funny comedy
about you know, Kate Hudson now in charge of a
basketball team. And I watched episode one. It was entertaining,
really funesome. So if you like Kate Hudson, if you
like basketball, it's a good show. And Genie Buss is
behind it. Apparently Pepperdine did not like the use of

(01:01:29):
the term wave or waves and the color scheme, and
they're like, they're upset, and I think they're finally like
a lawsuit or something over the some of the likeness
that's been borrowed for the show Pepperdine right here and
now now canceled, just like Winning Time. But no, I honestly,
Danny Jay, if anything, I feel like you would like
that because the Genie Bus Lakers. It's clearly the Lakers
because they talk about their their legacy and then you

(01:01:50):
see all the trophies and it's.

Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
For sure, but it's the Wave.

Speaker 9 (01:01:53):
New episodes out today of the latest season The Love
Is Blind season eight, and guys, after a two year wait,
Yellowstone fans are gonna like this. On Paramount Plus the
second season of nineteen twenty three, which is the prequel
to Yellowstone, Harrison Ford is back as Jacob Dutton. The
camera work, the storyline, the cast amazing. So twenty three,

(01:02:16):
it's been working a lot in his eighties. That dude
needs to relax, but he's knowing it.

Speaker 7 (01:02:20):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:20):
I think if he slows down, he's gonna I think
he's stune more in the past few years than he's
done and like entire seventiesh I think you're right. Maybe
he was inspired by a young dog, maybe Danny g
I have a question about Love is Blind. Though I
started it, does it get better it picks up? Or no?
Or is this a boring season? I like it? Have

(01:02:41):
you got to the point where you know the attractive
yet crazy blonde with the tattoo on her chest? I
just think she's attractive. Maybe I like crazy people. I don't.
I think if you think she's not crazy, then that's
the problem with you. Maybe I haven't gotten to that part.
It gets good. I think it gets good. Have you
not noticed as like three or four love triangles, like
who are they gonna pick? Yeah? No, I feel slow
to me. Maybe maybe I'm not caring as much about

(01:03:03):
these strangers as I used to.

Speaker 9 (01:03:04):
Yeah, there's a couple of good storylines it's worth getting
to the good stuff right.

Speaker 1 (01:03:08):
In my honest opinion, I'm actually excited to watch it tonight.
So yeah, it does get really quick too. On the
NBA tip Sunday, Nuggets at the Celtics. That's worth watching.
That's a daytime game.

Speaker 9 (01:03:17):
And then at night Clippers at the Lakers for the
second time in a weekend that the two face off
against each other.

Speaker 1 (01:03:24):
So hey, lots to check out. Spot anything you want
to add? Is there anything in the theater? Is it
a deadtime still? I feel Captain America, Brave New World.
