Speaker 1 (00:06):
Yeah, little bonus pot action, Covino, Rich, let's do this.
We've had some good ones if you missed them show.
We chest that he was not over promised, Gary V
Gary Vnerchuk. But it's gonna be back. Covino and Rich
Our Bonus show now Monday through Friday. We're on five
to seven on the East, two to four in the West.
(00:29):
But so much greatness, so much fun, can't fit it
all on that show. So we give you this. And
today we're gonna talk about Nasty Nestor Cortes and my
Yankees because guess what baseball coming soon. I can't wait.
Won Soto bro He's gonna make all the difference. Well,
I'm excited. Let's get excited. But we're gonna start it
(00:50):
off with well sad news woke up today like ah Man.
At first, the story was Gene Hackman passed away, nothing suspicious,
then all of a sudd and totally suspicious. Rest in peace.
Gene Hackman ninety four actually ninety five. His wife Betsy
also passed away, sixty four, their dog. They're saying carbon
(01:12):
monoxide poisoning found in his home in Santa Fe. But
you start thinking about his legacy, what Superstar was suspicious
or not. It seems like it, right, seems like it.
But here's the other weird thing. For years, a lot
of people thought he had died already, then he resurfaced
in public. Now it's true he passed away. We don't
know the details yet. But you think about the Royal
(01:33):
Tan and Bounds, you think about Lex Luthor, Superman, you
gotta think about Ooziers, no doubt. I think of Enemy
of the State. I think of is that movie where
Jennifer Love Hewitt's boobs were on display Heartbreakers? Heartbreakers. I
don't think about him. I think about her boobs. But
I do think about the ascot he wore as Lex Luthor,
right that mister he wore a Mister Furley outfit. If
(01:55):
you actually look it up, you probably haven't seen in
a minute. He's dressed like he's got the limited edition
Mister Furley outfit on. But adary actor just furly on Halloween.
Maybe I don't know, but legendary actor and one of
the most legendary films he made was Hoosier's when he
played do That. They'll get that ascot, Dude, that's a
(02:15):
Mister Furley outfit. If I've ever seen one. It looked
like he was going to regal Beagle that night. But
his most legendary role, especially in the sports world, was
that of Normandale, coach of the Hoosiers nineteen eighty six.
Good year. There's a tradition and tournament play and not
(02:40):
talk about the next step until you've climbed the one
in front of him. I'm sure going to the state
finals is beyond your wildest dream, so let's just keep
it right there. Forget about the crowds, the size of
the school, their fancy uniforms, and remember what got you here.
(03:02):
Focus on the fundamentals. Time, and most important, don't get
caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If
you put your effort and concentration into playing to your
potential to be the best that you can be. I
don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of
the game. In my book, we're going to be winners.
Bit I want to play basketball right now. I'm inspired.
(03:24):
But again, great acting, great career, great long life, which
is why the ending is sort of weird. Lived ninety
five years and this is how it goes down. And
Spot was telling us that details are coming out and
they're finding all these weird things to go along with
the story, and it's like, either way, god of thinking
he was one of the best fictional Actually, based on that,
we started thinking about the best fictional coaches. Yeah, no doubt,
(03:46):
people love Who's yours now, I'll be honest, not one
of my favorites. In fact, I don't know if I've
ever watched the whole movie through a stot. That's a
story for another day. Maybe I need to sit down
and watch it over again. You got to watch Superman,
but in tribute to his role as Norman, coach of
the Hoosiers. Here it got us thinking of the best
fictional coaches in movie TV history. Well, when you say coaches,
(04:09):
I'm also gonna put trainers advisors, okay, because I think
you open it up to two more fun that way,
they're still coaches, because frankly, I want to kick the
list off, okay with someone that I feel like you
would have forgot if you stuck with just coaches, because
he's a coach, mister Miagi. Yes, balance, he taught balance
wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off, some of
(04:32):
the legendary scenes of all time and he makes spoiler
alert a cameo the final season again is a fight
scene Cobra Kai. But oh, Miyagi, do corante. I'm a
huge fan. Taught me how to catch a fly with chopsticks. No,
I mean great instructor, slash coach the Daniels son, Miyagi,
(04:55):
don't corante, mister Miyagi. I'm not gonna argue. If you
want to argue, and go right ahead. But I think
he belongs on the list. The only argument is, could
you say that you think John Creese is a better
mentor better teacher. No, he was horrible. He's the worst.
Great character like Obra Kai never dies, but Miagi was
the guy, right. So that brings us to number four. Rich,
(05:18):
I give you the honors because you said you never
saw Hoosiers. Yeah, I've never seen the Mighty Ducks. Embarrassing.
That's embarrassing, embarrassing as you never seen Geen Hagman in
Superman or Hoosio. She had out of here, Gordon Bombay,
how's that any more embarrassing? I think I was growing
up when this came out. I think Mighty Ducks is
more popular movie than Hoosiers. I'm not gonna argue this,
(05:41):
especially it's disrespectful on the day that Geen Hagman passed.
But would you argue that Mighty Ducks is a bigger movie. No,
I wouldn't argue that. You would say Hoosiers. No, meaning
I wouldn't waste my time arguing that, which I don't
think Mighty Ducks is more popular than Hoosiers. Which Mighty
Ducks did they take on Sweden? Three? Bro I'm not
(06:02):
saying it's not good. Once a kid's movie, one's a
real movie. One inspired a team being named in the NHL.
I mean that's great, but I put it like right
above a corny movie like The Sandloa or Angels in
the Outfield Rookie of the Year. These are like corny
kids movies. He's saying it's not good, but I wouldn't
compare it to the Koosiers. Gordon Bombay took a bunch
(06:24):
of misfits that couldn't even play hockey, and then Spot's right.
By the third one, they were competing for the World championship.
A little unrealistic, but if you're gonna talk about great coaches,
A guy that was an alcoholic got pulled over and
instead of going to jail. You know what he said,
coach the Misfits, And how do you not love Emilio.
I do love Emilio. You love Emilio Estz. Yet you
(06:47):
haven't seen the Mighty Ducks. Come on, I've never seen it.
I was when they come out in like ninety one.
I was in junior high chasing as you think I
had times that sort pussy baseball practice. I wasn't doing that.
Might not downplaying that. It was good. Ninety two Mighty
(07:08):
Ducks D two is ninety four and then the third
one ninety six, Graduate high school ninety four. I wasn't
watching Disney. I watch him now, my kid. Not trying
to date myself. I'm sure it's a great did say
you had to high school in the nineties. I mean
you could say that, or you can say it's the truth,
and I don't care. So number three on the list.
If you're gonna put me Yagi on the list, you
can't not have ao. Mick Mickey Golden Mill was his name.
(07:33):
Legendary trainer and coach, boxing coach to the great Rocky Balboa.
Get Up a Bitch, Mickey loves Okay. Yeah, I love
you too, Thanks Mick. I love you too. I'm gonna
cry like I got a lot of heart but got
(07:56):
now lucky the way. The only reason Mickey is at
number one because he took away Rocky's locker. Yeah, but
you know's play stinks. Oh, play stinks too. Though I
won't play, I will say he didn't make no more
because his play sticks. But one of the more emotional
scenes when Mickey's dying and Rocky's crying over him and
stallone again legendary train, I'm gonna say, coach Mickey when
(08:22):
Rocky is getting a little show body and Rocky three,
when Mickey's annoyed by the bubbles, he's batting him down
in front of his face. Everything about Mickey was great.
Now Number two was a coach, and he coached Emilia Westaves,
his brother and waiting. He coached a great Rick Vaughan,
(08:43):
and we quote him often, give him the Eater. We
quote him every day on Fox Sports Radio and we
say Direraq. But in the movie The Great Coach, Lou
Brown said, dire World. You guys stink. Remember the owner
was trying to tear apart the team, and he decided
to four go selling white walls and become the coach.
(09:05):
He's definitely a great one when it comes to movie
coaches in honor of again Teene Hackman and Hoosiers. And
I think that's a great number two. You remember the
exact quote, Hey, Lou, how do you feel about coaching
the Cleveland Indians? What does he say is that? How
do you feel about managing the Cleveland Indians? I'm gonna
have to get back to you. I got a guy
(09:26):
in the other line about a pair of white walls. Yeah. Yeah,
he's coming into his tires dire world. So Lou Brown
at number two, Yeah, there it is. How would you
like to manage the Indians this year? What do you mean?
You don't know? This is a chance to manage in
(09:47):
the big leagues. Let me think it over, will you, Charlie.
I got a guy on the other line about some
white walls. I'll talk to you later. I don't know.
I mean everything about that movie, remember or a hard attack?
Lou Brown? A strong number two? And what's better than
a strong number two? Think about that? Not a whole lot,
but number one. There's no doubt I don't necessarily agree
(10:12):
with as a number one, but I'm not going to
fight you on it either, because I do think he
should be on this list, But I don't see how
you can't say number number one has to be ted
Lasso best show. I think Rich just likes him because
Rich wants to be him. I mean Rich looks like
him with a mustache. The show is fantastic. He was inspirational. No,
(10:33):
I never saw the finale like the final I saw
all all up to the very end. I feel like
you've ruined it for me. He overhyped it. The finale
made me cry. In fact, every day I wake up,
my alarm goes off in the morning to father and
stun Father and Son by Cat Stevens because that was
in the finale. You cried to coffee commercials. Bro Like,
(10:54):
I'm not you say that every day? What is the
best part of waking up? I like ted Lasso. He
was a swell fella. Here's the fun fact though, Yes,
sir Steve Kerr, if you look back, this is not
just the theory. The whole ted Lasso story is the
story of Wizard of Oz. I'm not making that up.
It's a theory online. But there's so many parallels. Yeah,
(11:16):
there's little East Direx to prove it so I'm not
just making up. The story of ted Lasso, is the
story of Dorothy, is the story of Wizard of Oz.
Check it out. If you don't believe me, it's Ted
Lasso Dorothy. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, So look it up.
I'm not making it up. Character for sure took the
world by storm. Everybody loved the heart of ted Lasso.
So who dances better than tell us. I'm not gonna
(11:36):
argue the whole the belief sign. Come on, I'm not
gonna argue it. But I do throw my number one
as honorable mention. Okay, if we're gonna talk great TV
and movie coaches in honor of Gene Hackman and Hoosiers,
my honorable mention would be coach Hayden Fox. You know what,
(11:58):
he was just coach Nelson Nelson. Due when people say
who is the greatest coaches? I always said Craig Nelson
because he was coach. Who is this assistant coach? I
don't remember. I never really liked the show, but I
think of craigte Nilson. So you show no, I never
(12:20):
liked the show. Nobody talks, no coach, no Ted Lasso.
What do you watch off the bus? I like ted Lasso,
But I wasn't you know, you're frying talking everybody you like.
I watched whole thing. I watched coach, but I also
like just the ten of us to the fat bald guy.
He was a good cause you act like you act
(12:45):
like I'm the weird one. Ted Lasso was highly blamed.
Watched coach. I didn't love coach. How was that a
big deal? I'm just saying, he's my reference to when
people talk about coaches, CRAIGT. Nelson comes to mind, you know,
because he went to school. He coached an actual coach.
What's school coach? I don't know, somewhere in Minnesota, but
was I think you're right? Was it Minnesota? Spot double Minnesota?
Minnesota say right on his shirt? Oh yeah, yeah good.
(13:07):
Guess there you go. Can I give an honorable mention
if you're gonna give one? Yeah, I mean I gave
you Ted Lasso number one. But yeah, well, I mean
you didn't give it to me. It's fucking legit. I
bet you. So many people were gonna hit us up
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports and be like
Ted Lasso, no way. I think Lou Brown would have
been a good number one. This guy honorable mention because
(13:27):
I just think it's a funny role. Not a great coach,
more just guy. I like the guy personally. That's a
fun role. Henry Winkler the Fonds as Coach Klein in
The water Boy mister coachin I will not argue this one.
I thought it was great. I love Henry Wyne Buckethead.
I love when Henry Winkler lost his confidence because they
(13:48):
stole his notepad and everything. I loved that book at
his playbook, So props to Henry Winkler, props to this movie.
I like that answer. I think that should have made
our top five. But again, what do you guys think?
In honor of the late great rest in peace, Gene
Hackman in Hoosiers your best TV in movie and fictional
(14:09):
coaches ninety five years sucks when you go out in
an interesting, suspicious way. But if you told me sign
up for ninety five years, I think most of us
would be like, where do I sign? Like, come on, dude,
ninety five years. Yeah, it's it's a weird story, man,
Like I don't know, maybe they wanted to go out
together or something was there foul play? I know the time,
(14:29):
I'll only tell you, yeah, well, yeah boys, your boys,
and this is he still your boy because he's not
in the Yankees. I'll root for Nestor Cortez for sure.
I like him, and that's how sports works if you
rooted for somebody. I don't root for the Brewers now,
but I still root for him to do well. He
gave the Yankees his best, He had his moment, he
had some T shirts, he had fans wearing mustachios. Nester
(14:51):
Cortes is in the news this week and people are
laughing about it and laughing at him. In fact, I
think he's taken the I rode here to still be
defending his teammates and his team, the twenty twenty four Yankees.
When he's on the Brewers, he's saying that we were
the better team in regards to losing to the Dodgers.
(15:14):
We were the better team. I see it that way,
and I'm sure everyone in the clubhouse sees it that way.
Now it's garnering laughter. People are laughing because it's him
for me. Now hold on, we have to backtrack too
as to why he's even saying these things, because when
the Dodgers won, they were like oddly outspoken about how
(15:35):
bad the Yankees were, and they knew how crappy of
a team they were. They knew their weaknesses and wanted
to expose them. And it wasn't even the Dodgers stars.
It was like the Dodgers' ancillary teammates and players who
like were chirping so loud about how weak the Yankees were.
So when the Dodgers, the Dodgers take was it was
harder to get past the Padres and the Mets. Yeah,
(15:55):
and the Nanks were going to be a breeze and
they knew all their weaknesses as far as base running
and fielding, and we're going to expose him and they
were a terrible team. So he's like defending his team
and whether or not it's true, right, why can't he
see it that way? I guarantee he's right in a
sense that everyone in the Yankees clubhouse does agree that
(16:16):
they were the better team. As a fan, it's kind
of hard to defend, but I will say this, they
were in that series. I don't look at it like
the Dodgers blew them away. I look at it very
much like the Yankees blew it. The Yankees blew it
that could have been the better team. They were in
a lot of those games. They blew it. Two waste.
I'll get every sports scenario like this. You could always say,
(16:39):
well this team blew it, or you could say this
team capitalized. Right. Look, the Dodgers won, so if they're
the better team, good for them, congrats. But the Yankees
were very close. Hadn't they blown it? Remember what they did?
I know, as pop up the meme again because it
explains it there. He explains it in the meme and
again with Game one when he breaks it down in
this quote here. If you guys, remember, Nestor Cortes put
(17:02):
everything on the line. He's like, I don't care if
I'm injured for a year later, I'm gonna pitch in
the World Series for my team. He hadn't pitched in
over a month and may put him in relief. Maybe
he shouldn't have Freddie Freeman hits a Grand Slam, and
I don't want the tone so they could talk about
whatever they want. This is nasty, Nestor, But if we
win Game one. It didn't But if he got out
Freeman instead of Freeman hitting a bob, I'm not pitching
(17:23):
in over a month. So but again, regardless, they lost
game one, but all right, so that'll be one, oh,
which we should have had we lost Game two and three,
we win game four, so now it's two two. They
were up five to nothing in game five, so he's saying,
you know, if we like knew how to close, we'd
be up three to two after five instead of losing
four to one. Because what you could say that about
(17:45):
any But they just a crumble team. But they still,
in their heart of hearts, think they're the better team.
Just because they made a few errors doesn't mean that
Dodgers were necessarily better. You know who think that's I
think you know thinks that's cute everybody because everyone's saying,
you know, Nestor would have could oft. You know who
thinks that the Lions, the Bills, the Ravens, all these teams,
(18:06):
why shouldn't they but the ultimate competitors on a professional level.
Are you surprised they think that way? But I'm saying,
when you lose in a close game in the postseason,
whether it's baseball, football, basketball, guess what, Unfortunately you're not
the best pall. Where's the funny in that they lost? Right? Oh?
They lost, But you expect people who've taken their competitive
nature to the ultimate heights to not think that way.
(18:28):
I think you guys are idiots to be surprised. Will
that Nestor and the Yankees think that if you're gonna
make me bring up my team, I will in twenty fifteen.
In twenty fifteen, the Mets lost to the Royals for
to one in the World Series, four games to one. Right,
I could say the same thing. Game one, the Mets
closer I believe familiar at the time, gave up a
(18:50):
home run in the ninth inning to tie the game
on a quick pitch. Game one, they were winning. Do
you know the Mets were winning every game of that
World Series in the seventh inning. Had a magical team
and they just couldn't. They had a magical team in
their heart of hearts. I bet you if you asked Lindor,
you would say, I think you were the better team.
Talk at twenty fifteen, but even last Daniel Murphy, Cesspitus, David,
(19:12):
I don't care about them, but last year's team was
a magical team. And if you ask any of those dudes,
they would probably say, yeah, I think we are the
better team. Because that's how competitors think. I know, but
I'm saying like there are for every team. I'm a
minnerstand you don't think that the Lions two years ago,
who were winning twenty four to seven. Did the Niners
come back? Or did the Lions blow it? You know,
(19:35):
like you could have this two sides to that conversation.
Every time. I think Freddie Freeman was on fire. They
should have never pitched to that dude. To laugh at
what Cortes is saying is odd to me. You know,
you could have your opinion, that's fine again, whether it's
true or not. Why can't they see it that way?
As my quest, oh four Yankees, did they collapse or
did the Red Sox just step it up? The oh
(19:58):
four Yankees absolutely collapsed or did the Red Sox just
step it up? In the same exact question, you could
say here anything. Why does that Garner laughter? Why is
he the butt of the joke? Why is this such
a viral story as if the Dodgers were so much better?
I don't see that at all. I will see and
(20:18):
I tipped my my Yankee fred Durstat behind me. I
tipped my hat to that. But I just don't understand
why I was such a joke. And I think it's
the joke because he's the guy that led up the
Grand Slam to Freddie Freeman. The tone, Well, you see
him these days, no more mustache, go tea or beard.
Farewell Yankees, even though the Yankees now would allow it.
(20:41):
We only we only picture him with a mustache. Yeah,
and I'm seeing him now the Orioles. He has the goateee.
So the asty nester, good luck buddy boy. Now. I
wanted to end over promised on a quick note because
we saw the other day there is Luca in Los
Ane Angelis did a really kind thing and the La
(21:04):
Lucas bro so the La Lucas when they played the Mavericks.
What did he do? He decided to treat a bunch
of Lakers fans to free parking outside of crypto. That's
how you win over fans and that and win. It
is just a reminder that if you're the new guy
at work, the new guy in the office, the new
guy on the work site, whatever you do, take a role.
(21:25):
I'm sorry, take a page out of the book of Dexter.
What did Dexter do? He was he was a murderer,
who what did he do. He would shove up to
Miami PD with donuts and everybody like, Ah, Dexter, He's
got the donuts. So show up with donuts, bring new
food food to your new coworkers. There's such a weird example,
so confusing murder people. Yeah, take a page out of
(21:48):
Dexter where he killed people and tried to cover it
up with donuts. How about you just be a nice guy.
How about the page out of Cavino and Rich When
we were the new guys at Fox Sports Radio, we
always brought donuts and we still bring pizza and everything else.
If you want people to like you, you gotta bribe
them a little bit, win them over. You don't need
to kill people and then try to hide it with donuts.
I'm not saying you get to kill people, But what
(22:09):
I'm saying is Dexter's a great example of how do
you win over new people? We saw it on Dexter
Original Sin. In the new series, he realized, how do
I get people to never suspect me? And how do
I get everyone to like me bringing donuts? How do
you get everyone to love you in La pay for
their parking guys. I know it sounds lame. It works.
Here's the thing, here's the catch, thow, be genuine about it.
(22:31):
You know, like want to win people over because you
want them to like you and you want to like
them back. You want to build a relationship. You want
to show them you're a good dude. Again, be genuine
about it. You know, Rich and I we're not hiding
the fact that we're trying to bribe new listeners all
the time. We give away swiggies on our show if
you follow our podcast Coveno and Rich and leave a
nice review. You know, in turn, we're trying to create
(22:53):
a friendship here. We want you to tune in. We
want to get to know you. We bring in donuts
because we want a good relationship with our colleagues. You
don't mean it. I'm sure Luca wants to win to
the Lakers and he wants to have a great relationship
with the fans. I think it's a great move. Perfect Well,
Covino will buy you donuts. Just a reminder, as we
say farewell June twentieth to the twenty second, keep those
dates in mind. We're gonna be doing a big Caveno
(23:14):
on Rich Fox Sports Radio party in Vegas. Details coming soon,
but everybody's inviting block those dates out June twentieth to
the twenty second of Friday Saturday Sunday this summer Vegas,
Big Coveno on Rich Party and we'll see you guys
next week on another over promise. It's a celebration. Until then,
I'll read it there you baby, I see you in
the over Promised Land. Come by
Yeah, little bonus pot action, Covino, Rich, let's do this.
We've had some good ones if you missed them show.
We chest that he was not over promised, Gary V
Gary Vnerchuk. But it's gonna be back. Covino and Rich
Our Bonus show now Monday through Friday. We're on five
to seven on the East, two to four in the West.
(00:29):
But so much greatness, so much fun, can't fit it
all on that show. So we give you this. And
today we're gonna talk about Nasty Nestor Cortes and my
Yankees because guess what baseball coming soon. I can't wait.
Won Soto bro He's gonna make all the difference. Well,
I'm excited. Let's get excited. But we're gonna start it
(00:50):
off with well sad news woke up today like ah Man.
At first, the story was Gene Hackman passed away, nothing suspicious,
then all of a sudd and totally suspicious. Rest in peace.
Gene Hackman ninety four actually ninety five. His wife Betsy
also passed away, sixty four, their dog. They're saying carbon
(01:12):
monoxide poisoning found in his home in Santa Fe. But
you start thinking about his legacy, what Superstar was suspicious
or not. It seems like it, right, seems like it.
But here's the other weird thing. For years, a lot
of people thought he had died already, then he resurfaced
in public. Now it's true he passed away. We don't
know the details yet. But you think about the Royal
(01:33):
Tan and Bounds, you think about Lex Luthor, Superman, you
gotta think about Ooziers, no doubt. I think of Enemy
of the State. I think of is that movie where
Jennifer Love Hewitt's boobs were on display Heartbreakers? Heartbreakers. I
don't think about him. I think about her boobs. But
I do think about the ascot he wore as Lex Luthor,
right that mister he wore a Mister Furley outfit. If
(01:55):
you actually look it up, you probably haven't seen in
a minute. He's dressed like he's got the limited edition
Mister Furley outfit on. But adary actor just furly on Halloween.
Maybe I don't know, but legendary actor and one of
the most legendary films he made was Hoosier's when he
played do That. They'll get that ascot, Dude, that's a
(02:15):
Mister Furley outfit. If I've ever seen one. It looked
like he was going to regal Beagle that night. But
his most legendary role, especially in the sports world, was
that of Normandale, coach of the Hoosiers nineteen eighty six.
Good year. There's a tradition and tournament play and not
(02:40):
talk about the next step until you've climbed the one
in front of him. I'm sure going to the state
finals is beyond your wildest dream, so let's just keep
it right there. Forget about the crowds, the size of
the school, their fancy uniforms, and remember what got you here.
(03:02):
Focus on the fundamentals. Time, and most important, don't get
caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If
you put your effort and concentration into playing to your
potential to be the best that you can be. I
don't care what the scoreboard says at the end of
the game. In my book, we're going to be winners.
Bit I want to play basketball right now. I'm inspired.
(03:24):
But again, great acting, great career, great long life, which
is why the ending is sort of weird. Lived ninety
five years and this is how it goes down. And
Spot was telling us that details are coming out and
they're finding all these weird things to go along with
the story, and it's like, either way, god of thinking
he was one of the best fictional Actually, based on that,
we started thinking about the best fictional coaches. Yeah, no doubt,
(03:46):
people love Who's yours now, I'll be honest, not one
of my favorites. In fact, I don't know if I've
ever watched the whole movie through a stot. That's a
story for another day. Maybe I need to sit down
and watch it over again. You got to watch Superman,
but in tribute to his role as Norman, coach of
the Hoosiers. Here it got us thinking of the best
fictional coaches in movie TV history. Well, when you say coaches,
(04:09):
I'm also gonna put trainers advisors, okay, because I think
you open it up to two more fun that way,
they're still coaches, because frankly, I want to kick the
list off, okay with someone that I feel like you
would have forgot if you stuck with just coaches, because
he's a coach, mister Miagi. Yes, balance, he taught balance
wax on, wax off, wax on, wax off, some of
(04:32):
the legendary scenes of all time and he makes spoiler
alert a cameo the final season again is a fight
scene Cobra Kai. But oh, Miyagi, do corante. I'm a
huge fan. Taught me how to catch a fly with chopsticks. No,
I mean great instructor, slash coach the Daniels son, Miyagi,
(04:55):
don't corante, mister Miyagi. I'm not gonna argue. If you
want to argue, and go right ahead. But I think
he belongs on the list. The only argument is, could
you say that you think John Creese is a better
mentor better teacher. No, he was horrible. He's the worst.
Great character like Obra Kai never dies, but Miagi was
the guy, right. So that brings us to number four. Rich,
(05:18):
I give you the honors because you said you never
saw Hoosiers. Yeah, I've never seen the Mighty Ducks. Embarrassing.
That's embarrassing, embarrassing as you never seen Geen Hagman in
Superman or Hoosio. She had out of here, Gordon Bombay,
how's that any more embarrassing? I think I was growing
up when this came out. I think Mighty Ducks is
more popular movie than Hoosiers. I'm not gonna argue this,
(05:41):
especially it's disrespectful on the day that Geen Hagman passed.
But would you argue that Mighty Ducks is a bigger movie. No,
I wouldn't argue that. You would say Hoosiers. No, meaning
I wouldn't waste my time arguing that, which I don't
think Mighty Ducks is more popular than Hoosiers. Which Mighty
Ducks did they take on Sweden? Three? Bro I'm not
(06:02):
saying it's not good. Once a kid's movie, one's a
real movie. One inspired a team being named in the NHL.
I mean that's great, but I put it like right
above a corny movie like The Sandloa or Angels in
the Outfield Rookie of the Year. These are like corny
kids movies. He's saying it's not good, but I wouldn't
compare it to the Koosiers. Gordon Bombay took a bunch
(06:24):
of misfits that couldn't even play hockey, and then Spot's right.
By the third one, they were competing for the World championship.
A little unrealistic, but if you're gonna talk about great coaches,
A guy that was an alcoholic got pulled over and
instead of going to jail. You know what he said,
coach the Misfits, And how do you not love Emilio.
I do love Emilio. You love Emilio Estz. Yet you
(06:47):
haven't seen the Mighty Ducks. Come on, I've never seen it.
I was when they come out in like ninety one.
I was in junior high chasing as you think I
had times that sort pussy baseball practice. I wasn't doing that.
Might not downplaying that. It was good. Ninety two Mighty
(07:08):
Ducks D two is ninety four and then the third
one ninety six, Graduate high school ninety four. I wasn't
watching Disney. I watch him now, my kid. Not trying
to date myself. I'm sure it's a great did say
you had to high school in the nineties. I mean
you could say that, or you can say it's the truth,
and I don't care. So number three on the list.
If you're gonna put me Yagi on the list, you
can't not have ao. Mick Mickey Golden Mill was his name.
(07:33):
Legendary trainer and coach, boxing coach to the great Rocky Balboa.
Get Up a Bitch, Mickey loves Okay. Yeah, I love
you too, Thanks Mick. I love you too. I'm gonna
cry like I got a lot of heart but got
(07:56):
now lucky the way. The only reason Mickey is at
number one because he took away Rocky's locker. Yeah, but
you know's play stinks. Oh, play stinks too. Though I
won't play, I will say he didn't make no more
because his play sticks. But one of the more emotional
scenes when Mickey's dying and Rocky's crying over him and
stallone again legendary train, I'm gonna say, coach Mickey when
(08:22):
Rocky is getting a little show body and Rocky three,
when Mickey's annoyed by the bubbles, he's batting him down
in front of his face. Everything about Mickey was great.
Now Number two was a coach, and he coached Emilia Westaves,
his brother and waiting. He coached a great Rick Vaughan,
(08:43):
and we quote him often, give him the Eater. We
quote him every day on Fox Sports Radio and we
say Direraq. But in the movie The Great Coach, Lou
Brown said, dire World. You guys stink. Remember the owner
was trying to tear apart the team, and he decided
to four go selling white walls and become the coach.
(09:05):
He's definitely a great one when it comes to movie
coaches in honor of again Teene Hackman and Hoosiers. And
I think that's a great number two. You remember the
exact quote, Hey, Lou, how do you feel about coaching
the Cleveland Indians? What does he say is that? How
do you feel about managing the Cleveland Indians? I'm gonna
have to get back to you. I got a guy
(09:26):
in the other line about a pair of white walls. Yeah. Yeah,
he's coming into his tires dire world. So Lou Brown
at number two, Yeah, there it is. How would you
like to manage the Indians this year? What do you mean?
You don't know? This is a chance to manage in
(09:47):
the big leagues. Let me think it over, will you, Charlie.
I got a guy on the other line about some
white walls. I'll talk to you later. I don't know.
I mean everything about that movie, remember or a hard attack?
Lou Brown? A strong number two? And what's better than
a strong number two? Think about that? Not a whole lot,
but number one. There's no doubt I don't necessarily agree
(10:12):
with as a number one, but I'm not going to
fight you on it either, because I do think he
should be on this list, But I don't see how
you can't say number number one has to be ted
Lasso best show. I think Rich just likes him because
Rich wants to be him. I mean Rich looks like
him with a mustache. The show is fantastic. He was inspirational. No,
(10:33):
I never saw the finale like the final I saw
all all up to the very end. I feel like
you've ruined it for me. He overhyped it. The finale
made me cry. In fact, every day I wake up,
my alarm goes off in the morning to father and
stun Father and Son by Cat Stevens because that was
in the finale. You cried to coffee commercials. Bro Like,
(10:54):
I'm not you say that every day? What is the
best part of waking up? I like ted Lasso. He
was a swell fella. Here's the fun fact though, Yes,
sir Steve Kerr, if you look back, this is not
just the theory. The whole ted Lasso story is the
story of Wizard of Oz. I'm not making that up.
It's a theory online. But there's so many parallels. Yeah,
(11:16):
there's little East Direx to prove it so I'm not
just making up. The story of ted Lasso, is the
story of Dorothy, is the story of Wizard of Oz.
Check it out. If you don't believe me, it's Ted
Lasso Dorothy. Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, So look it up.
I'm not making it up. Character for sure took the
world by storm. Everybody loved the heart of ted Lasso.
So who dances better than tell us. I'm not gonna
(11:36):
argue the whole the belief sign. Come on, I'm not
gonna argue it. But I do throw my number one
as honorable mention. Okay, if we're gonna talk great TV
and movie coaches in honor of Gene Hackman and Hoosiers,
my honorable mention would be coach Hayden Fox. You know what,
(11:58):
he was just coach Nelson Nelson. Due when people say
who is the greatest coaches? I always said Craig Nelson
because he was coach. Who is this assistant coach? I
don't remember. I never really liked the show, but I
think of craigte Nilson. So you show no, I never
(12:20):
liked the show. Nobody talks, no coach, no Ted Lasso.
What do you watch off the bus? I like ted Lasso,
But I wasn't you know, you're frying talking everybody you like.
I watched whole thing. I watched coach, but I also
like just the ten of us to the fat bald guy.
He was a good cause you act like you act
(12:45):
like I'm the weird one. Ted Lasso was highly blamed.
Watched coach. I didn't love coach. How was that a
big deal? I'm just saying, he's my reference to when
people talk about coaches, CRAIGT. Nelson comes to mind, you know,
because he went to school. He coached an actual coach.
What's school coach? I don't know, somewhere in Minnesota, but
was I think you're right? Was it Minnesota? Spot double Minnesota?
Minnesota say right on his shirt? Oh yeah, yeah good.
(13:07):
Guess there you go. Can I give an honorable mention
if you're gonna give one? Yeah, I mean I gave
you Ted Lasso number one. But yeah, well, I mean
you didn't give it to me. It's fucking legit. I
bet you. So many people were gonna hit us up
at Covino and Rich at Fox Sports and be like
Ted Lasso, no way. I think Lou Brown would have
been a good number one. This guy honorable mention because
(13:27):
I just think it's a funny role. Not a great coach,
more just guy. I like the guy personally. That's a
fun role. Henry Winkler the Fonds as Coach Klein in
The water Boy mister coachin I will not argue this one.
I thought it was great. I love Henry Wyne Buckethead.
I love when Henry Winkler lost his confidence because they
(13:48):
stole his notepad and everything. I loved that book at
his playbook, So props to Henry Winkler, props to this movie.
I like that answer. I think that should have made
our top five. But again, what do you guys think?
In honor of the late great rest in peace, Gene
Hackman in Hoosiers your best TV in movie and fictional
(14:09):
coaches ninety five years sucks when you go out in
an interesting, suspicious way. But if you told me sign
up for ninety five years, I think most of us
would be like, where do I sign? Like, come on, dude,
ninety five years. Yeah, it's it's a weird story, man,
Like I don't know, maybe they wanted to go out
together or something was there foul play? I know the time,
(14:29):
I'll only tell you, yeah, well, yeah boys, your boys,
and this is he still your boy because he's not
in the Yankees. I'll root for Nestor Cortez for sure.
I like him, and that's how sports works if you
rooted for somebody. I don't root for the Brewers now,
but I still root for him to do well. He
gave the Yankees his best, He had his moment, he
had some T shirts, he had fans wearing mustachios. Nester
(14:51):
Cortes is in the news this week and people are
laughing about it and laughing at him. In fact, I
think he's taken the I rode here to still be
defending his teammates and his team, the twenty twenty four Yankees.
When he's on the Brewers, he's saying that we were
the better team in regards to losing to the Dodgers.
(15:14):
We were the better team. I see it that way,
and I'm sure everyone in the clubhouse sees it that way.
Now it's garnering laughter. People are laughing because it's him
for me. Now hold on, we have to backtrack too
as to why he's even saying these things, because when
the Dodgers won, they were like oddly outspoken about how
(15:35):
bad the Yankees were, and they knew how crappy of
a team they were. They knew their weaknesses and wanted
to expose them. And it wasn't even the Dodgers stars.
It was like the Dodgers' ancillary teammates and players who
like were chirping so loud about how weak the Yankees were.
So when the Dodgers, the Dodgers take was it was
harder to get past the Padres and the Mets. Yeah,
(15:55):
and the Nanks were going to be a breeze and
they knew all their weaknesses as far as base running
and fielding, and we're going to expose him and they
were a terrible team. So he's like defending his team
and whether or not it's true, right, why can't he
see it that way? I guarantee he's right in a
sense that everyone in the Yankees clubhouse does agree that
(16:16):
they were the better team. As a fan, it's kind
of hard to defend, but I will say this, they
were in that series. I don't look at it like
the Dodgers blew them away. I look at it very
much like the Yankees blew it. The Yankees blew it
that could have been the better team. They were in
a lot of those games. They blew it. Two waste.
I'll get every sports scenario like this. You could always say,
(16:39):
well this team blew it, or you could say this
team capitalized. Right. Look, the Dodgers won, so if they're
the better team, good for them, congrats. But the Yankees
were very close. Hadn't they blown it? Remember what they did?
I know, as pop up the meme again because it
explains it there. He explains it in the meme and
again with Game one when he breaks it down in
this quote here. If you guys, remember, Nestor Cortes put
(17:02):
everything on the line. He's like, I don't care if
I'm injured for a year later, I'm gonna pitch in
the World Series for my team. He hadn't pitched in
over a month and may put him in relief. Maybe
he shouldn't have Freddie Freeman hits a Grand Slam, and
I don't want the tone so they could talk about
whatever they want. This is nasty, Nestor, But if we
win Game one. It didn't But if he got out
Freeman instead of Freeman hitting a bob, I'm not pitching
(17:23):
in over a month. So but again, regardless, they lost
game one, but all right, so that'll be one, oh,
which we should have had we lost Game two and three,
we win game four, so now it's two two. They
were up five to nothing in game five, so he's saying,
you know, if we like knew how to close, we'd
be up three to two after five instead of losing
four to one. Because what you could say that about
(17:45):
any But they just a crumble team. But they still,
in their heart of hearts, think they're the better team.
Just because they made a few errors doesn't mean that
Dodgers were necessarily better. You know who think that's I
think you know thinks that's cute everybody because everyone's saying,
you know, Nestor would have could oft. You know who
thinks that the Lions, the Bills, the Ravens, all these teams,
(18:06):
why shouldn't they but the ultimate competitors on a professional level.
Are you surprised they think that way? But I'm saying,
when you lose in a close game in the postseason,
whether it's baseball, football, basketball, guess what, Unfortunately you're not
the best pall. Where's the funny in that they lost? Right? Oh?
They lost, But you expect people who've taken their competitive
nature to the ultimate heights to not think that way.
(18:28):
I think you guys are idiots to be surprised. Will
that Nestor and the Yankees think that if you're gonna
make me bring up my team, I will in twenty fifteen.
In twenty fifteen, the Mets lost to the Royals for
to one in the World Series, four games to one. Right,
I could say the same thing. Game one, the Mets
closer I believe familiar at the time, gave up a
(18:50):
home run in the ninth inning to tie the game
on a quick pitch. Game one, they were winning. Do
you know the Mets were winning every game of that
World Series in the seventh inning. Had a magical team
and they just couldn't. They had a magical team in
their heart of hearts. I bet you if you asked Lindor,
you would say, I think you were the better team.
Talk at twenty fifteen, but even last Daniel Murphy, Cesspitus, David,
(19:12):
I don't care about them, but last year's team was
a magical team. And if you ask any of those dudes,
they would probably say, yeah, I think we are the
better team. Because that's how competitors think. I know, but
I'm saying like there are for every team. I'm a
minnerstand you don't think that the Lions two years ago,
who were winning twenty four to seven. Did the Niners
come back? Or did the Lions blow it? You know,
(19:35):
like you could have this two sides to that conversation.
Every time. I think Freddie Freeman was on fire. They
should have never pitched to that dude. To laugh at
what Cortes is saying is odd to me. You know,
you could have your opinion, that's fine again, whether it's
true or not. Why can't they see it that way?
As my quest, oh four Yankees, did they collapse or
did the Red Sox just step it up? The oh
(19:58):
four Yankees absolutely collapsed or did the Red Sox just
step it up? In the same exact question, you could
say here anything. Why does that Garner laughter? Why is
he the butt of the joke? Why is this such
a viral story as if the Dodgers were so much better?
I don't see that at all. I will see and
(20:18):
I tipped my my Yankee fred Durstat behind me. I
tipped my hat to that. But I just don't understand
why I was such a joke. And I think it's
the joke because he's the guy that led up the
Grand Slam to Freddie Freeman. The tone, Well, you see
him these days, no more mustache, go tea or beard.
Farewell Yankees, even though the Yankees now would allow it.
(20:41):
We only we only picture him with a mustache. Yeah,
and I'm seeing him now the Orioles. He has the goateee.
So the asty nester, good luck buddy boy. Now. I
wanted to end over promised on a quick note because
we saw the other day there is Luca in Los
Ane Angelis did a really kind thing and the La
(21:04):
Lucas bro so the La Lucas when they played the Mavericks.
What did he do? He decided to treat a bunch
of Lakers fans to free parking outside of crypto. That's
how you win over fans and that and win. It
is just a reminder that if you're the new guy
at work, the new guy in the office, the new
guy on the work site, whatever you do, take a role.
(21:25):
I'm sorry, take a page out of the book of Dexter.
What did Dexter do? He was he was a murderer,
who what did he do. He would shove up to
Miami PD with donuts and everybody like, Ah, Dexter, He's
got the donuts. So show up with donuts, bring new
food food to your new coworkers. There's such a weird example,
so confusing murder people. Yeah, take a page out of
(21:48):
Dexter where he killed people and tried to cover it
up with donuts. How about you just be a nice guy.
How about the page out of Cavino and Rich When
we were the new guys at Fox Sports Radio, we
always brought donuts and we still bring pizza and everything else.
If you want people to like you, you gotta bribe
them a little bit, win them over. You don't need
to kill people and then try to hide it with donuts.
I'm not saying you get to kill people, But what
(22:09):
I'm saying is Dexter's a great example of how do
you win over new people? We saw it on Dexter
Original Sin. In the new series, he realized, how do
I get people to never suspect me? And how do
I get everyone to like me bringing donuts? How do
you get everyone to love you in La pay for
their parking guys. I know it sounds lame. It works.
Here's the thing, here's the catch, thow, be genuine about it.
(22:31):
You know, like want to win people over because you
want them to like you and you want to like
them back. You want to build a relationship. You want
to show them you're a good dude. Again, be genuine
about it. You know, Rich and I we're not hiding
the fact that we're trying to bribe new listeners all
the time. We give away swiggies on our show if
you follow our podcast Coveno and Rich and leave a
nice review. You know, in turn, we're trying to create
(22:53):
a friendship here. We want you to tune in. We
want to get to know you. We bring in donuts
because we want a good relationship with our colleagues. You
don't mean it. I'm sure Luca wants to win to
the Lakers and he wants to have a great relationship
with the fans. I think it's a great move. Perfect Well,
Covino will buy you donuts. Just a reminder, as we
say farewell June twentieth to the twenty second, keep those
dates in mind. We're gonna be doing a big Caveno
(23:14):
on Rich Fox Sports Radio party in Vegas. Details coming soon,
but everybody's inviting block those dates out June twentieth to
the twenty second of Friday Saturday Sunday this summer Vegas,
Big Coveno on Rich Party and we'll see you guys
next week on another over promise. It's a celebration. Until then,
I'll read it there you baby, I see you in
the over Promised Land. Come by
