Speaker 1 (00:07):
Oh yeah, another episode of your favorite podcast, over promised.
When that riff hits, you know, it's go time, Showtime,
Covino and Rich Our Bonus Show. Normally you're on Monday
through Friday two to four on the West, Fox Sports
Radio five to seven on the East. But always a
pleasure to be here. And we're gonna play a game
today and we're calling it Name This Baby Star, Name
(00:30):
This Baby Star? NFL Playoff Edition?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Did the game show? What you bet you?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Mayrie Lopis, You're the host of Nard Sharks, Rich Davis, everybody,
And speaking of all the games this weekend, we're gonna
do riches playoff picks. It's a matter of do you
bet with your head or your heart? And I think
I'm gonna go with my heart, So I'll explain coming up,
and you're gonna got your heart. You got a hell
of a head, big head, what do you want to say? Hey,
(00:58):
but we all have a heavy heart. We have a
heavy heart today because we lost a legend. Rest in peace.
Bob Yuker passed away at the age of ninety today.
Now a lot of people know him as an announcer.
Depending on how old you are, you know him as
a player, as a spokesman, Miller Lyte, mister Belvidere, the
guy did it all. But you think a lot of
people today what's been going viral is that picture of
(01:20):
him being choked by Andre the Giants. Such a great
because he was such a great personality. I actually have
that car. That's his sixty three rookie, I believe. Look,
he was drafted in fifty six. He played from sixty
two to sixty seven, got in the booth in Meliawonke
in nineteen seventy. But he had fourteen career home runs,
(01:41):
batted two hundred, and he was a catcher. But again,
larger than life type of guy, which is why baseball. Yeah,
he became mister Baseball. So rest in peace, Bob Bucker.
Now I know him best as.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Harry doylest have been outside.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He tried the corner in miss best line, all.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Four, all eight.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Loan On has walked the bases loaded on twelve straight
pitches like these guys layoffes that close. Such a great
clip and such a great character. But even though he
was a broadcaster, and he was in the booth forever
for real, for real, in real life, Harry Doyle is
just a made up character, and that brings us to
(02:26):
some of the best fictional sports characters of.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
All time, no dignity, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Now, listen, think of all the movies and TV shows
we've watched in our lifetime. Yeah, so many great sports ones.
Who are the top five? You gotta narrow it down,
so I'll let you kick it off. I'll kick it
off because I'm a big karate fan. And who's cooler
than Johnny Lawrence All Valley one time All Valley Champion,
But he lost. He lost on an illegal kick. Too true,
(02:54):
And honestly, I don't think the series would have been
as great without Johnny Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I'm giving him all all the credit here. Johnny Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Billy Zabka as Johnny Lawrence in the top five fictional
characters makes me want to drink a cors banquet. Yeah,
he's great, and he's great on the show.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He's such a good actor. I think, I really do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think he's underrated, underrated, and his character was under misunderstood.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, he was a victim of Sinsey John Crease
when you think about it, fucking Crease.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You know what I think of when we first moved
out here to Los Angeles. We live in the valley.
I expected karate to be way bigger like they make it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
See why karate is the rage. I hear like Dojo
on Ventura.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're opening up a lot more dojo's lately. I don't
know if you noticed it. I'm joining Eagle Fang next
weekend though. Anyway, Johnny Lawrence makes the list.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How about a guy that didn't make it beyond high school,
but he did score four touchdowns in one game. I
know you would say, what's the sitcom star? I look
at this guy as a sports hero. He is a
sports hero, all button. He's a great reference, played big
for Paul Kai. Remember that episode where they're like, is
that out Bundy out? When he was like playing softball
(04:06):
though or something?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
When that picture right, there's so good.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He scored four touchdowns in one game. But definitely a
fictional sports legend. But it's see the best example of
when people talk about, oh trying to relive the glory
days like he is the He's the number one answer
as far as guys that bragged about their childhood sports
other than you and little League and Uncle Rico became Yeah,
before there was Uncle Rico. It was out, Bunny, you
throw me in that list. It's not bragging if it's true.
(04:32):
I did hit twenty seven Little.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
League home run. I mean it's a true story.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Anyway, I'm gonna add Ricky Bobby to this made up
list of ours thincause you're a big Nascar Yes, Yes,
in honor of Harry Doyle, a great fictional character. Rest
in peace, Bob Bucher, Ricky Bobby Nascar legend, Talladega Knights
representing Wonderbred.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Right. There Will Ferrell at his best. Great.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He actually did a few good sports movies, so you know,
props to him. Interestingly enough, we're getting closer to number
one on our awesome fake list. It's so hard to
pick one character from this movie franchise, because you could
says Rocky Balboa, you could say Ivan Drago, you could
say clubber Lang. But I really do think it has
to be the late great Carl Weather's apollo Creed Well.
(05:18):
Absolutely absolutely, And I'll tell you why we put our
noggints together. We agreed when Rich and I agree, Fact,
Clubber Lang, Drago, they're all great. Yeah, basing the line
Dixon even him right, So many great characters Tommy Gunn
What the hell Apollo Creed based off of Muhammad Ali,
(05:39):
larger than life character?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh wow you?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh you?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How many nicknames did he have?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Jeez? Do you know them all? The Sultan? No, that's
the great Fambino, the Count de Monti Fistogo. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So when you got him and he has three spin
offs of his own Creed one, two, and three, that
says enough. That means he's bigger and better than all
those fictions. I can also say this, no Rocky Balboa
if not for Apollo Creed.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Apollo is the champ.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
If he din't hand picked the Italian Stallion, there's no movie,
there's no series.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All the name do you know all the names? Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That the Dancing Destroyer, the King of Staying, the Count
of Monte Fisto, the Thign of Pain, the Prince of Punch.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The Master of Disaster who wanted only enough nick name?
Apollo Creed.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I got the Danny's Day. Absolutely no, So Apollo Creed
for me. There would be no Rocky without Apollo Creed. Right,
Rocky needed his nemesis. Then he gets all these spin offs.
We still talk about Creed today. Huge character and our
number one not even debatable, because he's on a big
(06:49):
comeback right now, and then we're gonna see him again
summer of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Shoot shoot him, Gavin, the Gavin.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
This guy unbelievable. And in fact, you know, shout out
to the late great car Weathers again because.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Chubs Peterson was a great character.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Too, And you know what, here's why he's great, and
here's why he's number one. It's funny, it's fictional. It's
a great reference that everybody knows. But his name is
Christopher McDonald, but nobody cares. He's Shooter McGavin and he
does golf tournaments for charity and he loves it. He
leans into it, he leans hard into it. He leans
into that character and he doesn't mind being referred to
(07:28):
as Yo, that's Shooter McGavin.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
He's like, damn right, I am. So he's our number one.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
All in honor again to the late great Bob Bucher,
mister Baseball, who portrayed Harry Doyle, even though he did
that in real life as Bob Bucher. Not only on
the list of great fictional sports characters, Shooter McGavin he
would make a top list of best like movie assholes.
He took Happy Gilmore's mom's house.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
He's great from Sonny. He's so great.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean he's fantastic and Happy you more two uh
you know with the new star actor Travis Kelce.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh yeah, it's coming out this summer. And by the way,
I have to give a few shout outs.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I was a little torn on Rex Kwondo is also
a great karate but I'm going with Benny the Jet
Rodriguez sand Love. He was a Sandlot superhero, little league
star like your boy here, but then he made it
to the big leagues as a Dodger.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
There's gonna be people that are mad that we left
off other major league characters like Serrano or Rick Vaughan.
But my honorable mention because it's the only dodgeball player
that dominated this way. Yeah White Goodman, Oh yeah, dodgeball.
I mean, well, I'm not going to debate it, and
people could be mad. All they want this is our
list our show. You could shine in at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio, hashtag over promised fictional sports
(08:51):
characters and again rest in peace, Bob yu could Oh yeah,
I love that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Now it was brought to our attention through years of
working together that Rich has terrible facial recognition. Rich sees
things in broad strokes. You know, he doesn't pick up
on the actual characteristics of people. Rich thinks I look
like anybody with dark skin and dark hair. And I'm like,
that dude's Asian, that dude's Indian. That dude, but Rich
(09:22):
thinks they all look like me. Have a hard time. Yeah,
Rich has a hard time, I guess with characteristics of people.
And when Rich sees young photos of celebrities, he doesn't
see the similarities. Now, we played this game on our
Patreon podcast. Yes, but this is the NFL Playoff Edition.
The NFL Playoff Edition. We did one with actors and
(09:44):
actresses and musicians. I went three and seven. You gave
me ten. I only got three, right, Okay, I'm terrible
at this. So we're calling this and you can play
along at home. Name this Baby Star Starar NFL play
Off Edition. I'm gonna give you five and maybe one
bonus one. How many thinks spot Rich'll get out of five?
(10:06):
And by the way, these are people in the playoffs
that we talk about every day. The hint, my guess
is you're gonna do a lot better. I'm giving ye
the out of five, I think I think four. I
think I think a solid four. Yeah, so I think four.
I think he gets Yeah, I'd be pleased if I
get three out of five.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That means I'm betting like six hund do I like that?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, we did it again earlier with entertainers and things
like that on our Patreon. He was terrible athletes. I
think this is in your wheelhouse. All right, all right,
so what do we got first, spotty boy number? We're
coming up at number one. I feel like this is
an easy one. Name this baby start easy, Name this
baby star. Oh, we're throwing it back.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Who's that? I can't Are you seriously? Little boy rich
little boy with a head haircut? Dude, I don't see
what you're seeing. I'm not even joking.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
The eyes, the characteristics, least tell me you're not playing
this up for the show.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
If I was playing off for the show, i'd tell
you so incredibly obvious to me.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And it's also playoff edition, So you is is that
your final? It's not Kelsey, It's not what other white
dudes are in the playoffs. I mean, there's a lot
it is Matthew Stafford final answer. Finally answer, and the
(11:30):
answer is Travis Kelsey you bonus, and that's Travis and
Jason when they were kids.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
How do you not see that ship at all? And
how have you not seen that photo before? He's your guys,
you're talking about every day.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I see Jason on the right a little bit. Yeah,
it looks like him, right, I see Jason, Yeah, you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Next one, horrible one. My god, bang that baby star. Honestly,
is it too late to change my my answer?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Just gotta go four for four? Here we go, all right,
We'll include a bonus to see if he gets four.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Fine, here we go, all right, here we go. Here's
the next one. Come on, come on, come on, come on.
It's easy, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
He's wearing a Steelers like Pop Warner football jersey. Super easy,
al right, being that it's like a he's like a
teen in this stage, same as pre teen star, not
even a baby. Mayden Daniels final answer. I can't with
this guy, seriously, huh, I can't. It looks like Jordan
(12:32):
love to me, but Jordan loves out wait.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I'm sorry, c J. Stroud, Oh I suck at this.
You're the worst, the worst at this game.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
C J. Stroud and that played Remember the story, the
backstory he played on Snoop's team in Snoops League.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's when he played in Snoops Football League. Could you
do that one over?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, you said, Jaydan Daniels, not even in the same
like skin tone area, in my opinion, like, I don't
even know how you get that. I mean you might
as well say that golf. I don't even know how
you guess.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Next one, next one. This is just this is misable.
I've never seen anything this horrible. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
Kurt Henning. I didn't know you were perfect, all right, genius.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This is honestly so, this is the one I thought
you would have no chance in getting.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
The fact that you haven't gotten any of them, this is.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Like there's not even you might as well just go
over You might as well just go over five at
this point.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
This is you're a head of I wanted to go
three for five, which means I need three in a row.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Night Fame, This Baby Star Playoff Edition, Oh another teen photo.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Dan Campbell final answer, Sure are you sure?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh? Wait, hold on now, my sure? One second? Hold on,
I mean we've said that every time so far, Golf Stafford,
it's not Nick, sirio. I mean, it's not a play
hold on, it's not again us deductive reasoning. It looks
like an older Campbell final answer. Apparently a rare photo
(14:09):
of him playing in high scheme. You can't tell that
with the nose and the ears, like that's like an
obvious one.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's they're all obvious. I thought they were all.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I think what makes this one a little more obvious
is that it's an older photo Campbell obvious.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I wasn't. I wasn't even thinking that obvious. The next one?
So we all right? Who we got next?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
One? Mark Jackson final answer, final answer, Lamar Jackson, the
heights in the eyes, I see those eyes. Well I'm
really good at this game now, good Mark Jackson? Mar Jackson,
alright in those eyes? Well you ended on a high though,
(14:52):
so you went to for five?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
One more? I mean, let's do it. We can do
the bonus one? Sure? Why not bonus one more for Okay?
Who are you feeling threatened that? I'm good? Now? Who
is that guy?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Wait, hold on, I feel like you're trying to trick
me here?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Why with the Eagles no, yeah, that's uh again, like
a Pop Warner Football League.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
He's playing in white guy rich brown hair. This is
like such a.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Star when I tell you this is such a weakness
of mine. Like I looked at it and every white
guy looks like him.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Now I looked at that. I'm like, well that's Sean McVay.
Oh wait, no, that's this guy. Rich.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Just sees white kid, brown hair. He doesn't see facial
or something. I don't know what I want to do.
It's a facial recognition game. Blurre my eyes a little bit,
look into the future. Put an aging filter on that kid.
Do you see it's Josh Allen?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Are you sure? Answer? Final answer, Josh Allen, You're on fire, dude.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I mean these should be so, they should be like seconds,
but this is not. We narrowed it down to what, uh,
eighteen assholes, just to make it clear. I'm the guy
that watches a movie and I don't I can't tell like,
oh that person was in that show.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh I got him? Yeah, all right, there's a bonus. Yeah,
there's a bonus one for fun more for the people
at home.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
We're watching on the bowl wherever you are right now
by the way you over promised. Well worth watching. I
know we got the you know, believe it or not.
Way more people listen to this than watch, and I
urge you to watch it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
This is great reason.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's a visually get out on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
More on one Final one Final one That star Star,
Big Star Star. What ahead on that kid, big Star.
It's a cute kid, but kid's got a noggin. I
love your method, I got it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Patrick Mahomes, Yes, final answer.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, let's see, let's see come on Kryptonite and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Good looking kid right there.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And speaking of I'm I'm a dad again, Golden Mahomes
and uh yeah, Golden Mahomes kindots like that. So I mean,
clearly it could be maybe Steph Curry, but no, Patrick
Mahomes as a kid and that's our game. That's the bonus.
So wait, Richmond for three for six Uh yeah, four
six d the opposite of the Vikings, opposite of the
(17:39):
Steelers this year, rich and you know, speaking of picks,
all right, there's two ways to look at this weekend
when it comes to NFL action. Many people say divisional
weekend the most exciting in the NFL, and listen. I
do like the wild Card weekend, but we've noticed the
last couple of years some of these games are blowouts
because you got good teams playing teams that sneak in
and maybe don't deserve to be there. This is the weekend.
(18:02):
I'm expecting a lot of fun. I've narrowed this down
into two categories, Who I think and who I want?
Would you believe all four games? I have a different
opinion on, meaning the four I want are the exact
opposite of the four I think that John going harder held. Well,
(18:23):
here here's who I think. Okay, here's who I think
will win. I think we're looking at the Chiefs, the Lions,
the Eagles, and the Ravens. I think we're going to
see Lamar and Derrick Henry unstoppable. The Chiefs will find
a way to beat the Texans, and you're gonna get
that Ravens Chiefs AFC Championship, Ravens over Bills at home. Yeah,
(18:47):
the Ravens seem unstoppable. And in the NFC, I think
Eagles over the Rams in Philly, and you got, of course,
the Lions. They got the bye week. Commanders are a
little in over their head they're young. If they lose,
no one's gonna be like man, Jayde and Daniels blew it.
They're just you know how cool they're there right right?
So that's who I think. Who I want is a
(19:09):
different story. Who I want is the Texans to upset
the Chiefs, get rid of that three peet right. I
want Washington because I love the Jayde and Daniels. I mean,
it's not impossible, right, they're exciting, you know, La I don't.
I don't hate the Rams, even though I'm niner saying
yououl think would hate them because theyre in the division
for Johnny.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Do for Janny, They're playing for La Man, They're in
that zone. Josh Allen got engaged. He's had a great year.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I feel like maybe this is the year where it
all finally works out for Buffalo and maybe Bills will
no longer stand for boy.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I love losing super Bowls. So that's who I want.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
By the way, the if you want the Rams, I
will say too. It also seems like they're clicking at
just the right time. And don't let that ten and
seven regular season record fool you because they started real shitty.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Get injured.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
They're playing with with something to play for, I'm playing
hotter than any team. I'll compare them to the forty
nine Ers team. Remember the forty nine Ers team that
snuck in the playoffs and made it to the super
Bowl at like ten and seven. Very similar, where the
early part of their schedule in season they struggled and
then it all came together. Now here's what I want
to do. I want to take my heart and say
(20:19):
it may not be the most logical decision, but with
the points, I don't think my what I want bet
looks at bad spot. Throw it up there, now what
I want? If you get the Texans plus eight, maybe
the Chiefs win, but eight points, Chiefs win by a touchdown.
They're not scoring a ton. So what if it's like
(20:39):
twenty four to seventeen Chiefs you cover with the plus
eight Washington? What if the Lions, you know, are a
little flat after a week off and rest and stuff.
Washington almost double digits. Now you'd say rich Rams are
only plus six? Why do you got plus seven and
a half? I bought a point and a half. You
could buy points obviously, DraftKings right, bought a point and
a half. Make it seven and a half. So take
(21:02):
it from six. Now you're seven and a half point underdog.
So even if the Eagles beat the Rams by touchdown,
you win. And I'm totally cool with the idea of
Buffalo winning. I think they can at home. So that
parlay Texans, Commanders, Rams and Bills all covering one hundred
(21:22):
bucks wins eleven hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Wow, I like that. So your beans, I would take that.
That's what I like.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's what I like something like that. I'm gonna bet
with my heart, play with the points a little bit.
So I'll post that at Covino and Rich if you
want Nicky.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
DU's divisional round picks. I like it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So anything you miss you can always find at Covino
and Rich and uh let us know, by the way,
how you did on the on the six athlete, because
at Coveno and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, enjoy the games,
enjoy the weekend, and rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Bob, you divisional weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Let's go areem with that man, see you in the
over Promised land.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
Goodbye, No
Oh yeah, another episode of your favorite podcast, over promised.
When that riff hits, you know, it's go time, Showtime,
Covino and Rich Our Bonus Show. Normally you're on Monday
through Friday two to four on the West, Fox Sports
Radio five to seven on the East. But always a
pleasure to be here. And we're gonna play a game
today and we're calling it Name This Baby Star, Name
(00:30):
This Baby Star? NFL Playoff Edition?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Did the game show? What you bet you?
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Mayrie Lopis, You're the host of Nard Sharks, Rich Davis, everybody,
And speaking of all the games this weekend, we're gonna
do riches playoff picks. It's a matter of do you
bet with your head or your heart? And I think
I'm gonna go with my heart, So I'll explain coming up,
and you're gonna got your heart. You got a hell
of a head, big head, what do you want to say? Hey,
(00:58):
but we all have a heavy heart. We have a
heavy heart today because we lost a legend. Rest in peace.
Bob Yuker passed away at the age of ninety today.
Now a lot of people know him as an announcer.
Depending on how old you are, you know him as
a player, as a spokesman, Miller Lyte, mister Belvidere, the
guy did it all. But you think a lot of
people today what's been going viral is that picture of
(01:20):
him being choked by Andre the Giants. Such a great
because he was such a great personality. I actually have
that car. That's his sixty three rookie, I believe. Look,
he was drafted in fifty six. He played from sixty
two to sixty seven, got in the booth in Meliawonke
in nineteen seventy. But he had fourteen career home runs,
(01:41):
batted two hundred, and he was a catcher. But again,
larger than life type of guy, which is why baseball. Yeah,
he became mister Baseball. So rest in peace, Bob Bucker.
Now I know him best as.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Harry doylest have been outside.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
He tried the corner in miss best line, all.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Four, all eight.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Loan On has walked the bases loaded on twelve straight
pitches like these guys layoffes that close. Such a great
clip and such a great character. But even though he
was a broadcaster, and he was in the booth forever
for real, for real, in real life, Harry Doyle is
just a made up character, and that brings us to
(02:26):
some of the best fictional sports characters of.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
All time, no dignity, no doubt.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Now, listen, think of all the movies and TV shows
we've watched in our lifetime. Yeah, so many great sports ones.
Who are the top five? You gotta narrow it down,
so I'll let you kick it off. I'll kick it
off because I'm a big karate fan. And who's cooler
than Johnny Lawrence All Valley one time All Valley Champion,
But he lost. He lost on an illegal kick. Too true,
(02:54):
And honestly, I don't think the series would have been
as great without Johnny Lawrence.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
I'm giving him all all the credit here. Johnny Lawrence.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Billy Zabka as Johnny Lawrence in the top five fictional
characters makes me want to drink a cors banquet. Yeah,
he's great, and he's great on the show.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
He's such a good actor. I think, I really do.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
I think he's underrated, underrated, and his character was under misunderstood.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
You know, he was a victim of Sinsey John Crease
when you think about it, fucking Crease.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
You know what I think of when we first moved
out here to Los Angeles. We live in the valley.
I expected karate to be way bigger like they make it.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
See why karate is the rage. I hear like Dojo
on Ventura.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
They're opening up a lot more dojo's lately. I don't
know if you noticed it. I'm joining Eagle Fang next
weekend though. Anyway, Johnny Lawrence makes the list.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
All right.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
How about a guy that didn't make it beyond high school,
but he did score four touchdowns in one game. I
know you would say, what's the sitcom star? I look
at this guy as a sports hero. He is a
sports hero, all button. He's a great reference, played big
for Paul Kai. Remember that episode where they're like, is
that out Bundy out? When he was like playing softball
(04:06):
though or something?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
When that picture right, there's so good.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
He scored four touchdowns in one game. But definitely a
fictional sports legend. But it's see the best example of
when people talk about, oh trying to relive the glory
days like he is the He's the number one answer
as far as guys that bragged about their childhood sports
other than you and little League and Uncle Rico became Yeah,
before there was Uncle Rico. It was out, Bunny, you
throw me in that list. It's not bragging if it's true.
(04:32):
I did hit twenty seven Little.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
League home run. I mean it's a true story.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Anyway, I'm gonna add Ricky Bobby to this made up
list of ours thincause you're a big Nascar Yes, Yes,
in honor of Harry Doyle, a great fictional character. Rest
in peace, Bob Bucher, Ricky Bobby Nascar legend, Talladega Knights
representing Wonderbred.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Right. There Will Ferrell at his best. Great.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
He actually did a few good sports movies, so you know,
props to him. Interestingly enough, we're getting closer to number
one on our awesome fake list. It's so hard to
pick one character from this movie franchise, because you could
says Rocky Balboa, you could say Ivan Drago, you could
say clubber Lang. But I really do think it has
to be the late great Carl Weather's apollo Creed Well.
(05:18):
Absolutely absolutely, And I'll tell you why we put our
noggints together. We agreed when Rich and I agree, Fact,
Clubber Lang, Drago, they're all great. Yeah, basing the line
Dixon even him right, So many great characters Tommy Gunn
What the hell Apollo Creed based off of Muhammad Ali,
(05:39):
larger than life character?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Oh wow you?
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Oh you?
Speaker 2 (05:43):
How many nicknames did he have?
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Right?
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Jeez? Do you know them all? The Sultan? No, that's
the great Fambino, the Count de Monti Fistogo. Right.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So when you got him and he has three spin
offs of his own Creed one, two, and three, that
says enough. That means he's bigger and better than all
those fictions. I can also say this, no Rocky Balboa
if not for Apollo Creed.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Apollo is the champ.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
If he din't hand picked the Italian Stallion, there's no movie,
there's no series.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
All the name do you know all the names? Okay?
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That the Dancing Destroyer, the King of Staying, the Count
of Monte Fisto, the Thign of Pain, the Prince of Punch.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
The Master of Disaster who wanted only enough nick name?
Apollo Creed.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I got the Danny's Day. Absolutely no, So Apollo Creed
for me. There would be no Rocky without Apollo Creed. Right,
Rocky needed his nemesis. Then he gets all these spin offs.
We still talk about Creed today. Huge character and our
number one not even debatable, because he's on a big
(06:49):
comeback right now, and then we're gonna see him again
summer of twenty twenty five.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Shoot shoot him, Gavin, the Gavin.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
This guy unbelievable. And in fact, you know, shout out
to the late great car Weathers again because.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
Chubs Peterson was a great character.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Too, And you know what, here's why he's great, and
here's why he's number one. It's funny, it's fictional. It's
a great reference that everybody knows. But his name is
Christopher McDonald, but nobody cares. He's Shooter McGavin and he
does golf tournaments for charity and he loves it. He
leans into it, he leans hard into it. He leans
into that character and he doesn't mind being referred to
(07:28):
as Yo, that's Shooter McGavin.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
He's like, damn right, I am. So he's our number one.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
All in honor again to the late great Bob Bucher,
mister Baseball, who portrayed Harry Doyle, even though he did
that in real life as Bob Bucher. Not only on
the list of great fictional sports characters, Shooter McGavin he
would make a top list of best like movie assholes.
He took Happy Gilmore's mom's house.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
He's great from Sonny. He's so great.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I mean he's fantastic and Happy you more two uh
you know with the new star actor Travis Kelce.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
Oh yeah, it's coming out this summer. And by the way,
I have to give a few shout outs.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I was a little torn on Rex Kwondo is also
a great karate but I'm going with Benny the Jet
Rodriguez sand Love. He was a Sandlot superhero, little league
star like your boy here, but then he made it
to the big leagues as a Dodger.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
There's gonna be people that are mad that we left
off other major league characters like Serrano or Rick Vaughan.
But my honorable mention because it's the only dodgeball player
that dominated this way. Yeah White Goodman, Oh yeah, dodgeball.
I mean, well, I'm not going to debate it, and
people could be mad. All they want this is our
list our show. You could shine in at Covino and
Rich at Fox Sports Radio, hashtag over promised fictional sports
(08:51):
characters and again rest in peace, Bob yu could Oh yeah,
I love that.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Fantastic.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Now it was brought to our attention through years of
working together that Rich has terrible facial recognition. Rich sees
things in broad strokes. You know, he doesn't pick up
on the actual characteristics of people. Rich thinks I look
like anybody with dark skin and dark hair. And I'm like,
that dude's Asian, that dude's Indian. That dude, but Rich
(09:22):
thinks they all look like me. Have a hard time. Yeah,
Rich has a hard time, I guess with characteristics of people.
And when Rich sees young photos of celebrities, he doesn't
see the similarities. Now, we played this game on our
Patreon podcast. Yes, but this is the NFL Playoff Edition.
The NFL Playoff Edition. We did one with actors and
(09:44):
actresses and musicians. I went three and seven. You gave
me ten. I only got three, right, Okay, I'm terrible
at this. So we're calling this and you can play
along at home. Name this Baby Star Starar NFL play
Off Edition. I'm gonna give you five and maybe one
bonus one. How many thinks spot Rich'll get out of five?
(10:06):
And by the way, these are people in the playoffs
that we talk about every day. The hint, my guess
is you're gonna do a lot better. I'm giving ye
the out of five, I think I think four. I
think I think a solid four. Yeah, so I think four.
I think he gets Yeah, I'd be pleased if I
get three out of five.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
That means I'm betting like six hund do I like that?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Okay, we did it again earlier with entertainers and things
like that on our Patreon. He was terrible athletes. I
think this is in your wheelhouse. All right, all right,
so what do we got first, spotty boy number? We're
coming up at number one. I feel like this is
an easy one. Name this baby start easy, Name this
baby star. Oh, we're throwing it back.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Who's that? I can't Are you seriously? Little boy rich
little boy with a head haircut? Dude, I don't see
what you're seeing. I'm not even joking.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
The eyes, the characteristics, least tell me you're not playing
this up for the show.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
If I was playing off for the show, i'd tell
you so incredibly obvious to me.
Speaker 1 (11:08):
And it's also playoff edition, So you is is that
your final? It's not Kelsey, It's not what other white
dudes are in the playoffs. I mean, there's a lot
it is Matthew Stafford final answer. Finally answer, and the
(11:30):
answer is Travis Kelsey you bonus, and that's Travis and
Jason when they were kids.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
How do you not see that ship at all? And
how have you not seen that photo before? He's your guys,
you're talking about every day.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I see Jason on the right a little bit. Yeah,
it looks like him, right, I see Jason, Yeah, you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Next one, horrible one. My god, bang that baby star. Honestly,
is it too late to change my my answer?
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Just gotta go four for four? Here we go, all right,
We'll include a bonus to see if he gets four.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Fine, here we go, all right, here we go. Here's
the next one. Come on, come on, come on, come on.
It's easy, all right.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
He's wearing a Steelers like Pop Warner football jersey. Super easy,
al right, being that it's like a he's like a
teen in this stage, same as pre teen star, not
even a baby. Mayden Daniels final answer. I can't with
this guy, seriously, huh, I can't. It looks like Jordan
(12:32):
love to me, but Jordan loves out wait.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
I'm sorry, c J. Stroud, Oh I suck at this.
You're the worst, the worst at this game.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
C J. Stroud and that played Remember the story, the
backstory he played on Snoop's team in Snoops League.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
That's when he played in Snoops Football League. Could you
do that one over?
Speaker 1 (12:51):
No, you said, Jaydan Daniels, not even in the same
like skin tone area, in my opinion, like, I don't
even know how you get that. I mean you might
as well say that golf. I don't even know how
you guess.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Next one, next one. This is just this is misable.
I've never seen anything this horrible. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
Kurt Henning. I didn't know you were perfect, all right, genius.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
This is honestly so, this is the one I thought
you would have no chance in getting.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
The fact that you haven't gotten any of them, this is.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Like there's not even you might as well just go
over You might as well just go over five at
this point.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
This is you're a head of I wanted to go
three for five, which means I need three in a row.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Night Fame, This Baby Star Playoff Edition, Oh another teen photo.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Dan Campbell final answer, Sure are you sure?
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Oh? Wait, hold on now, my sure? One second? Hold on,
I mean we've said that every time so far, Golf Stafford,
it's not Nick, sirio. I mean, it's not a play
hold on, it's not again us deductive reasoning. It looks
like an older Campbell final answer. Apparently a rare photo
(14:09):
of him playing in high scheme. You can't tell that
with the nose and the ears, like that's like an
obvious one.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
He's they're all obvious. I thought they were all.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
I think what makes this one a little more obvious
is that it's an older photo Campbell obvious.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
I wasn't. I wasn't even thinking that obvious. The next one?
So we all right? Who we got next?
Speaker 1 (14:31):
One? Mark Jackson final answer, final answer, Lamar Jackson, the
heights in the eyes, I see those eyes. Well I'm
really good at this game now, good Mark Jackson? Mar Jackson,
alright in those eyes? Well you ended on a high though,
(14:52):
so you went to for five?
Speaker 2 (14:54):
One more? I mean, let's do it. We can do
the bonus one? Sure? Why not bonus one more for Okay?
Who are you feeling threatened that? I'm good? Now? Who
is that guy?
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:07):
Wait, hold on, I feel like you're trying to trick
me here?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Why with the Eagles no, yeah, that's uh again, like
a Pop Warner Football League.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
He's playing in white guy rich brown hair. This is
like such a.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Star when I tell you this is such a weakness
of mine. Like I looked at it and every white
guy looks like him.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Now I looked at that. I'm like, well that's Sean McVay.
Oh wait, no, that's this guy. Rich.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Just sees white kid, brown hair. He doesn't see facial
or something. I don't know what I want to do.
It's a facial recognition game. Blurre my eyes a little bit,
look into the future. Put an aging filter on that kid.
Do you see it's Josh Allen?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Are you sure? Answer? Final answer, Josh Allen, You're on fire, dude.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
I mean these should be so, they should be like seconds,
but this is not. We narrowed it down to what, uh,
eighteen assholes, just to make it clear. I'm the guy
that watches a movie and I don't I can't tell like,
oh that person was in that show.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Oh I got him? Yeah, all right, there's a bonus. Yeah,
there's a bonus one for fun more for the people
at home.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
We're watching on the bowl wherever you are right now
by the way you over promised. Well worth watching. I
know we got the you know, believe it or not.
Way more people listen to this than watch, and I
urge you to watch it.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
This is great reason.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
It's a visually get out on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
More on one Final one Final one That star Star,
Big Star Star. What ahead on that kid, big Star.
It's a cute kid, but kid's got a noggin. I
love your method, I got it.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Patrick Mahomes, Yes, final answer.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Yeah, yeah, let's see, let's see come on Kryptonite and it's.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Good looking kid right there.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
And speaking of I'm I'm a dad again, Golden Mahomes
and uh yeah, Golden Mahomes kindots like that. So I mean,
clearly it could be maybe Steph Curry, but no, Patrick
Mahomes as a kid and that's our game. That's the bonus.
So wait, Richmond for three for six Uh yeah, four
six d the opposite of the Vikings, opposite of the
(17:39):
Steelers this year, rich and you know, speaking of picks,
all right, there's two ways to look at this weekend
when it comes to NFL action. Many people say divisional
weekend the most exciting in the NFL, and listen. I
do like the wild Card weekend, but we've noticed the
last couple of years some of these games are blowouts
because you got good teams playing teams that sneak in
and maybe don't deserve to be there. This is the weekend.
(18:02):
I'm expecting a lot of fun. I've narrowed this down
into two categories, Who I think and who I want?
Would you believe all four games? I have a different
opinion on, meaning the four I want are the exact
opposite of the four I think that John going harder held. Well,
(18:23):
here here's who I think. Okay, here's who I think
will win. I think we're looking at the Chiefs, the Lions,
the Eagles, and the Ravens. I think we're going to
see Lamar and Derrick Henry unstoppable. The Chiefs will find
a way to beat the Texans, and you're gonna get
that Ravens Chiefs AFC Championship, Ravens over Bills at home. Yeah,
(18:47):
the Ravens seem unstoppable. And in the NFC, I think
Eagles over the Rams in Philly, and you got, of course,
the Lions. They got the bye week. Commanders are a
little in over their head they're young. If they lose,
no one's gonna be like man, Jayde and Daniels blew it.
They're just you know how cool they're there right right?
So that's who I think. Who I want is a
(19:09):
different story. Who I want is the Texans to upset
the Chiefs, get rid of that three peet right. I
want Washington because I love the Jayde and Daniels. I mean,
it's not impossible, right, they're exciting, you know, La I don't.
I don't hate the Rams, even though I'm niner saying
yououl think would hate them because theyre in the division
for Johnny.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Do for Janny, They're playing for La Man, They're in
that zone. Josh Allen got engaged. He's had a great year.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I feel like maybe this is the year where it
all finally works out for Buffalo and maybe Bills will
no longer stand for boy.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I love losing super Bowls. So that's who I want.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
By the way, the if you want the Rams, I
will say too. It also seems like they're clicking at
just the right time. And don't let that ten and
seven regular season record fool you because they started real shitty.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Get injured.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
They're playing with with something to play for, I'm playing
hotter than any team. I'll compare them to the forty
nine Ers team. Remember the forty nine Ers team that
snuck in the playoffs and made it to the super
Bowl at like ten and seven. Very similar, where the
early part of their schedule in season they struggled and
then it all came together. Now here's what I want
to do. I want to take my heart and say
(20:19):
it may not be the most logical decision, but with
the points, I don't think my what I want bet
looks at bad spot. Throw it up there, now what
I want? If you get the Texans plus eight, maybe
the Chiefs win, but eight points, Chiefs win by a touchdown.
They're not scoring a ton. So what if it's like
(20:39):
twenty four to seventeen Chiefs you cover with the plus
eight Washington? What if the Lions, you know, are a
little flat after a week off and rest and stuff.
Washington almost double digits. Now you'd say rich Rams are
only plus six? Why do you got plus seven and
a half? I bought a point and a half. You
could buy points obviously, DraftKings right, bought a point and
a half. Make it seven and a half. So take
(21:02):
it from six. Now you're seven and a half point underdog.
So even if the Eagles beat the Rams by touchdown,
you win. And I'm totally cool with the idea of
Buffalo winning. I think they can at home. So that
parlay Texans, Commanders, Rams and Bills all covering one hundred
(21:22):
bucks wins eleven hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Wow, I like that. So your beans, I would take that.
That's what I like.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
That's what I like something like that. I'm gonna bet
with my heart, play with the points a little bit.
So I'll post that at Covino and Rich if you
want Nicky.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
DU's divisional round picks. I like it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
So anything you miss you can always find at Covino
and Rich and uh let us know, by the way,
how you did on the on the six athlete, because
at Coveno and Rich at Fox Sports Radio, enjoy the games,
enjoy the weekend, and rest in peace.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Bob, you divisional weekend.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Let's go areem with that man, see you in the
over Promised land.
