Some good fights, some good NBA, some good college basketball.
A nice weekend out here in Los Angeles. Hope you
(01:47):
had a great one. Let's have a nice week and again,
immediately after our show, By the way, I felt like
total butt cheeks on Friday, but I pushed through the
show because it's two hours of fun. But cheeks like
but nasty deflated like John Lennon looking ones. Oh okay, okay, Yeah,
I felt like cheeks on Friday. So you aren't feeling
like the the boobs behind Patino that are getting all
(02:09):
the rage John, I wasn't feeling good like that. I
felt so bad on Friday, but power through it. Ended
up feeling good on Saturday Sunday. Had a nice weekend.
But immediately after the show on Friday, you got word
that the legend George Foreman passed away. So before we
play Last One Standing and talk about neighborhoods, sports rules,
(02:30):
because Dan Byer's got a story, No, and I have
great advice. We're going to talk about who you should
not boink, who should you not sleep with. I have
a theory, well that does very limited things.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I could really say. You say, huh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
We lost a legend, a truly American icon, a true
legend in the world of sports, in the world of life.
Not only a legendary boxer, but turned out to be
a greater man. The Great George Foreman passed away at
seventy six. As of now, his family still has disclosed
what caused the death. But I mean, the guy had
(03:05):
a tough life. He lasted seventy six years in boxing years,
that's like one hundred and seventy six years. And let's
not forget he fought some of the toughest dudes on
the planet. Some people just remember him as a spokesman
for the Grill or Mini Key. I guarantee it the
highest form of guarantee. In fact, George Foreman endorses our show. Hey,
(03:26):
this is George Foreman. You're gonna love a Cadino and
Rich show.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I guarantee it. Say you look at that.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Even back in the day rest in Peace, But even
before the Grill, the baddest man on the planet, as
Stephen A would say.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He was a bad man.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
People feared George Foreman. He was like a fighting robotist.
Style was unconventional. He had crazy power, laying out legends
like Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, you name it, and then
became the oldest heavyweight. He was like a totally different guy.
I didn't even know it was the same George Foreman.
I'm like, that's the same guy.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That fought Ali.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
You kidding me.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
He came back at forty five and beat Michael Moore,
ended up seventy six and five, rich eighty one total
fights seventy six and five and lost most of those
in the end of his career, but again became heavyweight
champ again at forty five years old. There's a lot
of people, and I'd imagine most people forty and younger
(04:25):
that don't even know George Foreman with hair which is wild.
And I only know that George Truman through highlights. I
don't remember a you know, in real time George trumm
with hair. If I say, in my lifetime pictured George Foreman,
it was always shaved head with the smile. Well, again,
it's generational because he was already a legend, and then
he retired, he found God, he became a preacher. He
(04:47):
had a whole second part of his life. He became
a spokesman. But before that he was probably the most
feared boxer in the heavyweight division. So when Ali beat him,
it was like a miracle. People were scared for Ali's
life at that point, and Ali did the rope dope,
tired out George Forman. George Forman hit him with everything
he had and then the story goes rich. Ali said
(05:07):
to him, that's all you got, George, and it crushed
Foreman spirit.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
He ends up losing. Ali pulls off a miracle.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And that's what makes Muhammad Ali a legend because Foreman
at that time was knocking out everybody. And like I said,
he lost five fights, but most of them at the
end of his career. He lost to Evander Holyfield. Think
about that just for one second. A guy that fought Ali,
he lost to Muhammad Ali also lost to Evander Holyfield
(05:36):
in ninety one. He lost to Tommy Morrison. In ninety three,
he fought Tommy the Duke Morrison bro Tommy Gunn and
he lost to Shannon Briggs in his last fight in
ninety seven, but again he beat Michael Moore to become
the oldest heavyweight champion till this day at the age
(05:56):
of forty five, a record that Klitchkho's chasing. Now he
wants a title fight at forty eight. But a guy
that fought Joe Frasier, a guy that fought Ken Norton's
and Ali's of the world, they were fighting. He was
fighting the Shen and Briggses of the world. Now I
pose this question to you, if you only know him
from the grill? Is the grill the greatest infomercial item
(06:20):
of all time? Because, dude, it was a game changer.
It gave every bozo like me the freedom to make
some rubbery chicken at home.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It worked.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I used it all the time, Dude, I was that guy.
As long as it was slanted right as the joker
has to be on an angle. Get that angle, the
grease catcher, and remember the little old You can never
find the grease catcher. Not only could you not find that,
remember the tool that came with like a little uh
little cleaning spatiyyah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Do you know rich I read over the weekend that
when it first came out, the forming grill, it wasn't
selling well. Then he got on QVC and was so
good with the host and he at one point he
grabbed a burger and ate it, and that's what blew
it up.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There was one point during the primo days of the
Foreman grill, probably in our college days, where George Foreman
was making five to ten million dollars a month off
the grill. Over one hundred thousand I'm sorry, correction, over
one hundred million George Foreman grills have been sold. We
(07:24):
all had one. Everyone had one, and I had the
og one. Because then there was different variations of him.
They had a deluxe one that pivoted to dude. The
premise of it was so simple. There was no on
off switch. It was plug it in, it gets hot,
and you cook some food. Had it in the dorm room,
had it in my first home. Any thermometer, Nope, just
turn it on. I think it moved out to California
(07:45):
here with me. I had it for years. The point
is it worked and we trusted George Foreman, his smile,
his face, everything about him. He went from the meanest
man on the planet to the most likable guy that
we all trusted because we all had that grill.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Ude guarantee it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Besides your rubbery chicken, it made really good turkey burgers.
That's what I used it for when I was a.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Bachelor, Burgers, casadilla's, warming up anything. The Foreman grill was
in every college dorm house, frat house, sorority house for
a good decade or so.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know, Michael Scott loved to wake up to the
smell of bacon cooking in the morning, so I of
course had to post a clip of him burning his
foot on the George Forman grill from the Office as
my tribute to Georgia.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And speaking of which, I don't even think you realize
that you just mentioned the Office.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Guess what today is the twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Year anniversary The Office debuted on this day in oh fi,
fuck oft that I was here an anniversary guy. You
really are tie it all together at a coincidentance, tied together.
So George Foreman again, you knew him as a boxer.
Maybe you just knew him as a spokesman. But he
was legendary at both and we all had that grill
and the guy was a true legend. And if you've
(08:57):
never seen it, if you want to pay some tribute
to George Foreman in your own time. He sort of
went under the radar because it wasn't a big budget
behind it. But Big George Foreman the movie, The Miraculous
Story of the once and future Heavyweight Champion of the World,
came out in twenty twenty three, a biopic.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So if you have time when you're done with The
Bachelor tonight, when you're done catching up on the White Lotus,
check out Big George Foreman the movie. You learn something
about the guy again. He was a great dude, great
family man. He named every one of his kids George
and Georgina after him. And like I said, it's kind
(09:41):
of crazy growing up rich. I was so confused at
that time in my life. I was like, wait, the
guy that fought Ali, because it looked nothing like that guy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's the same guy fighting now.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It felt like two worlds apart, two different people from
two different life.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He reinvented himself so amazing life you know.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What you pointed out was interesting because we remember that
forty five year old George Foreman in the nineties getting
the title back then.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
When you watch old videos of him with Ali, you had.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
That crazy, sneaky power bro. It's like, wait a minute,
that it seems like two different people. It makes you
think of like, how like a Nolan Ryan. I look
a statup, Nolan Ryan has faced nearly twenty percent of
all Hall of Fame members. Like Nolan Ryan was pitching
(10:36):
to guys in the sixties and the nineties, like his
span like this. He was on that sixty nine team
with Tom Severs, so he was probably playing against Let's
see what year did like Mantle retire.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Did He never faced Mantle?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, but I know Mantle played into the mid to
late sixties guys like that though, So it's it's it's
wild to think that Foreman and then he was knocking
out Robin Ventora. So yeah, his career span did a
lot of like legendary guys to re in history.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Got the simple fact.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That he fought a Vander Holyfield and Muhammad Ali exactly.
So when you think of George Foreman, unfortunately and fortunately
the grill is a.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Big part of it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It made him, he said in an interview once it
made him over two hundred million dollars. I think it
was a half a billion dollar industry at one point, right,
Danny g the grill.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, it earned five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And to think that Hulk Hogan missed that opportunity, that's
how the legend goes.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
We even talked to the Hulks about it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
There's like brother, Some people say that's not a completely
true story. But the story that Hogan tells and some
tell is that they were looking for endorsers for this
product line and they were gonna give the Hulkster first
shot at the grill and either he missed the caller
didn't get back to this agent called him, right, Yeah,
missed the call. And then they're like, all right, Foreman,
(11:51):
you get the grill and the Hulkster got like a blender. Yeah,
and it didn't work out the same way. Look, Foreman
was great at it too, though it doesn't mean that
the Halkster would have had the same impact. Foreman was trustworthy.
We liked them, and the grill works, so you got
to give her credit where it's due.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
What's up dB.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I was just gonna say, like in the pantheon of
of infomercials, I mean, that's it's it's got to be
like that. Maybe the Ronco said it and forget it yea, and.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
The Snuggie, but like like the the chop shot slap shot,
but also the theow yeah shayeah.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
They're all up there.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I can't imagine they're above the George fle Flex, seal Flex,
Phil Swift and and Billy Mays was a big guy
in that industry.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Feel it made you trust the infomercial because if you
got the George Foreman grill and it was amazing because
I do you think that there is mistrust in it
and it worked like it did for so many of us.
As you guys have just been discussing, I had one
as well. It also put trust in that whole medium
that maybe now I can buy this or I could
buy that.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You know, that's a great point we did. He he
was so credible and you believed him for whatever reason
because he seems so believable and like such a nice guy. Again,
total personality transformation, the baddest guy to the nicest guy.
It did open up a lot of other options in
the world of infomercial items. But to me, that's the king.
(13:23):
To me, that's the number one. And you know, we
often when we talk about celebrity sports endorsements, rich we
always bring up Shack because what he's done is amazing,
and we always took about OJ and how impactful he was.
But dude, George Foreman was right up there with the best,
if not the best. When you think about that grill,
it made the average idiot feel like they could cook. Yeah,
(13:46):
the average is and that's me all the way. Anything
that was Covino picture nineteen year old Kvino at Montclair
State in his frat house. Like, guys, I'm making murgers,
like for the first time ever. This guy felt like
he was a chef. I probably romanced a young girlfriend
of mine through the help of the George Foreman grill.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
It made it easy though for my dad. My dad
used the George Forman grill all the time when weird kids.
It was it would a little light would come on
when it was ready right, and then you put the
stuff on and you just watch that grease strip on down.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That was it and you know spot you pointed, that's
the fat Remember that fat spot? Pointed this out earlier,
that it was a time where people were less informed
about health, so you were just assumed, like, look at
all the grease drip, it must be so healthy you
getting rid of all the grease in fat because of
the slant of the angle. The word lean sold millions
(14:41):
clean angle. It was all about the angle of the.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Grill had have gravity bringing the grease strip, and.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That it was the whole premise of why it worked.
It and it did lean what was it? Fat grilling machine,
lean mean, grilling machine, Lean Mean, and grilling machine and covino.
As you pointed out, you would always lose that stupidtle
trait to catch the fat.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You'd never find it. They'd be lost in mom's tupperware somewhere.
You could tray. You can find that tray.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And before the air fryar you probably still had a
Foreman grill somewhere. So it's it's definitely a big loss
just in American culture, but in the world of boxing.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You know what's funny. I want you to think about
it for a second.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
For real, if you've moved a lot, you know, after college,
or your apartments and houses before you got married, how
long did the Foreman grill.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Come with you, dude. It lasted a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I feel like the Foreman Girl lasted until I moved
across the country.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's still in my garage in its box.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You have one.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, one of our buddies set us up earlier and
they said the air Fier sort of replaced the George
Foreman grill. But there was a time where everybody had one,
especially every college kid. Every family had one, but especially
if you were, you know, going on your own for
the first.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Time, that was the go to item. I mean, we moved.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
This summer will mark ten years that we've been out
here in Los Angeles. I probably I think that's when
I said goodbye or Truman Girl. So I was like
I was in my third early thirties when I said
goodbye to the Forman girl.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Your point was so spot on as well. There was
nothing like the spark that came from your outlet as
you plugged it, plugged it in or unplugged it. But
it was also no temperature. That's the great thing about
it was it wasn't like it didn't innovate. Because mine
had a bun warmer in the later days, and then
a plastic lid that you could put your hamburger buns in.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, I set my girlfriends on it. Yeah you missed
out the button warmer. They actually called me the butt warmer.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
But yeah, no on off. But we're gonna add this
bun warmer to it as well.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So you gotta give there's a comedian.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We gotta give him props because he does a whole
bit on it on how there was no it was
clearly designed. He says it was clearly designed by a
boxer because there was no one that helped him out
with the product. He said, there was no on off,
it was just a plug, there was no thermostat.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Who's the comedian, let's give him credit.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I know the guy's name who actually did invent it,
Michael Boehm. And he tinkered with like lawnmower and things
that were electric u it says here other than the lawnmower,
which was gas powered obviously, but says he he was
a lifelong inventor. Wow, So he's the guy who came
up with that. He made a lot less money than
Big George did.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And props again to Lachlan Lachlan Lachlan Patterson, who does
a whole routine on it about how it was the
most simple design but it worked because it had the angle.
The whole thing, the whole thing was premised on the
angle of the grill.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm not saying.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'm not saying I'm gonna get one in honor of
the lake great George Forman.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Now what do they go for now?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But I'm looking right now, there's a pretty sweet, newer
looking one, like a new one you could buy right now.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Do you see the one on the stand? Is that
what you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm seeing on at Walmart and like Target right now
in Amazon for thirty four to thirty five bucks, and
it looks at a pretty but it looks like a
pretty nice one.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Rich there's one it's like eighty bucks now, but it's
actually on a stand. You could put it on your patio.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But you know what, here's here's something interesting though, Like
I have a teenage daughter, right there's a comfort knowing
me the biggest bone had used it and I was
okay with it. I would feel comfortable with her cooking
something up if I wasn't around, because I know it's
kind of safe and easy to use. I should say,
what do you think it cost? When we bought it
back in the day, what was it like fifty bucks?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It could not have been that because every college kid
had ninety.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
It was on sale usually for like thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh you needed the bed, bathroom beyond coupon, that's why
you need that twenty percent off. But I feel like
fifty dollars would have been too high for a price point.
I bet you was twenty nine or thirty nine dollars, because.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Are that so cheap? Really?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Twenty nine bucks for that thing? But it was two sizes.
There's no way that bigger ones. How many times did
you make like a hot sandwich? I go pending like
you'd play like a piece of bread and some you know,
cheese and cold cuts and just smush it down, warm
it up. Well, I'm telling you, man, go buy yourself
a new one for your teenage kid for nostalgic reasons.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And watch the movie.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If you don't know a lot about the man, it
drives me bonkers when people say I didn't even know
he was a boxer. Come here, let me cry it.
Kick you watched the movie, learn something about the dude.
He was one of the best fighters, pure raw power,
dude power like no one else in boxing is called
Big George Foreman. It came out in twenty twenty three.
(19:14):
I think you'll enjoy it. You'll learn a little something
about the guy.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Did you guys?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean Cavino grew up in Jersey, I grew up
in New York, dB, Danny g Guy, iwa Sam grow
up in Iowa.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
We were all over the country this show. What was
the George.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Foreman manicky muffler commercial on every commercials?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Do you ever watch it in your life? Was that?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Was that a big part of you childhood? Yeah, you're
not gonna pay a lot of this.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I don't recall, I remember, but I wouldn't think that
it would be over and over.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh it was like I feel like that was in
heavy rotation where we grew up because of that and
because of the grill success. For years on this show,
if Rich and I were trying to make a statement,
since day one of our show, we always said the
highest form of guarantee was the George Foreman guarantee. So
if I was like, dude, the Yankees are gonna I
have a better record than the Mets this season, I
guarantee it. My guarantee means nothing but if I said,
(20:05):
I George Foreman guarantee it. It's like an undeniable highest
of high guarantees. And then we always said the George
Zimmer guarantee was second to that. That's the Men's warehouse.
You're gonna love the way you look. I guarantee it guarantee.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You're gonna like the way you look.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And then the Tommy Boy in a Box guarantee. The
Tommy Boy Callahan breaks guarantee. There were other ones to
Joe name it guarantee holds some weight.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Rich Back to your point about it being affordable, you're right.
In nineteen ninety four when it debuted, it was nineteen dollars.
In ninety nine six way, dude, that's crazy. The version
we all bought a little later was thirty nine dollars
something like that.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You know, with the price of a lap dance, you
get one of those, a lap dance or a form
and girl, that's a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Do you remember the one I'm guessing you're picturing silver
with a black handle.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, okay, that was theatre and white with the black candle.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
The white one is what I bought later, But I
remember that og.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Version had the silver with the black Hans.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I remember seeing the ads for the one you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Rich just to think it's crazy to think that this
guy edition one of the greatest heavyweight boxes of all time.
You know, fought Muhammad Ali a vander Holyfield. He is
what was his record seventy and five or somebody to
say he said was he only lost five fights seventy
six and five.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Meanwhile, the guy made his fortune as the face of
a grill.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know, Dan Pyre made a really great point that
may have opened the door for you know that that
genre of sales and infomercial items that we lived our
entire high school years, in college years and growing up years,
were staying up late and watching all these stupid things,
probably because he made it credible. Well, you know, I
(21:49):
guess a lot of times you buy things like that
and it stinks.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
The former girl lived up. Hence the success. It lived up.
Really you saw it and you're like, this guy mak him
burgers and Kisadilla's and chicken. You got it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
You brought it home and you're like, wow, bought I
bought one that did not work. You brought up some
of these other ones. I remember buying the Flavor Wave oven. Yeah,
I remember that and the Flavorwave of and was like
you could put a frozen steak on you and you
have a sweet ribbi in ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
It defrosted everything I tried to. I tried.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I tried to make a canoe out of a flex seal.
I tried to sail on a screen window and it
didn't work. Man. I was so disappointed. But your thoughts
rest in peace. You know, the great, the Big George Forman.
Oh you know what. We can tell you about this
all day. But hey again a legend seventy six. All right,
(22:41):
we got more cavin on wretch and we're going to
talk about those neighborhood sports roles. Damn Buyer and Cavino
both have randose stories in their neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
The worst neighbors ever.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, there is another conversation I want to have in
it revolves around the NBA.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's the people you don't want to sleep with.

Speaker 1 (24:13):
Hey, this is George Foreman. You're gonna love a Cadino
and Rich show. I guarantee it rest in peace, Big Man,
legend man, and not only as a fighter, but like
we were saying off the air, the grill was a
huge part of Americana. Looking back, everybody had one.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
It was.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It had an impact on us, for sure. It changed
the way we lived and cooked in ate for a
long time. But there was one point Rich in his career,
before he retired and before he fought Ali, and before
he became the oldest heavyweight champion in his comeback, he
had beat Ken Norton, he had beat Joe Frederi, He
beat Joe Fraser twice. At one point he was forty
(24:54):
and oh at thirty seven knockouts. And again, Ali wouldn't
be the legend he is if it wasn't for guys
like George Foreman. Ali exactly like no one thought he
could beat a George Foreman, that's how dominant he was.
And my final reminder here is to check the movie out.
Check the movie out. What are you watching?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
The Bachelor?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Big George Foreman is is good. It's not the greatest
movie ever, but it was really good.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I enjoyed it. Let's take one quick phone call. Move on,
who do we got here? Dennis and Anchorage, Alaska? What's up, Dennis.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
I have a story about George Foreman. And I had
a friend and co worker who was a cutman and
he was repected to the boxing world. And he told
me about once when he was with George while he
was training during his comeback part of his career. My
(25:48):
friend was holding the heavy bag on one side while
George was hitting away. And I want you to think
about how dense and thick you know, I is. Yeah,
And my friend said that every single time, every single
time George hit the bag, my friend's hands hurt.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Dude, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And his power was so unconventional the way he was
he would slug in the way he'd.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Punched from all those weird angles.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
Just a crazy fighter and a crazy career, and he'll
be missed. We're seeing our live from the tyrack dot

dB gives us update and before we play our games,
last one standing giveaway prizes.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Not only rest in peace to.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
George Foreman, but my heart hurt over the weekend when
I found out Brett Gardner's son passed away sort of
a freak moment, died in his sleep. They were vacationing
Brett Gardner one hundred percent. Heart loved watching him played
almost twenty years for the Yankees. In the organization, he
played fourteen years with the Yankees. First part of the
(27:13):
story is I hated to send off. I hated how
the Yankees just let him go, never gave him a sendoff,
never a thanks for your service. But he always played hard,
always gave one hundred percent. That dude won the World Series.
In two thousand and nine, on vacation with his family
in Costa Rica and his fourteen year old son, they
all fell ill, like mysteriously ill from something they ate
(27:36):
or something that happened, and his son ended up passing
away over this weekend, and they put out a statement
and just knowing the guy, feeling like you know the guy.
That's the power impact of sports. I never met Brett Gardner,
but I watched his whole career when he was a
young man. I watch him won a World Series, I
watched him retire. I rooted for that guy. You liked
(27:56):
that guy. I liked his heart, the way he played
the game. This type of guy happiness in the latter
part of their life, and then you hear a story
like that and it's so unfair and you're like, oh,
I don't know how you go I don't know how
you go on after a tragedy. Even they said Rich, like,
we don't have any answers. We're searching for answers. They
don't know what happened. And his kid apparently was He
(28:18):
looked just like his dad was a great athlete, a fiery,
feisty young man. Yankees put out in a press release,
the little kid grew up in Yankee Stadium. But, like
I said, it's the impact of sports. I never met Brett,
but my heart goes out to his family and uh
man prayers to them.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, I felt the same exact way as you, Rich.
If something happened to my son CoA. How could I
even get up the next.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Time and continue on?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
How then feels like so much into their lives, you
have so much hope. Where's his life gonna lead? He's fourteen?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, a total nightmare, dude, terrible. Yeah, I felt so
bad about that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I will let me bring him back to forming a
cheery up one last time and then we'll move on.
I do want to talk about the people you should
not sleep with, so we're gonna keep it light here
in a little bit. But I want to quote our
pal Jim Lampley, who we catch up with every time
we go to a nice fight weekend in Vegas. He
tells the great story and you can catch his whole
interview on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page US. Sitting
(29:16):
down Lampley, he tells the story of why he screamed
out while calling the fight. It happened because Foreman, when
he made that big comeback at forty five years old,
Lampley interviewed him before the fight, like they all do,
said how are you gonna you know your age, how
are you gonna do this? And Foreman told Lampley that's
(29:40):
gonna come a point in this fight where Moore is
gonna just leave one moment of vulnerability open and in
that moment it happened.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I'll take the punch and knock him out, and man,
it was legendary.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Is so quick happened? It shows you the power that
he had. And you know what, Richie made me think
of something else too. Jim Lampley great blow by blow commentator,
but George Foreman also did a great job in that
ring as well. Pun intended. He was a great analyst,
great broadcaster, So he had a.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Great life.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Can I ask you six years what other completely foolish,
irrelevant type of question?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Sure, right at my alley, I guess mufflers?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Was there a big demand back in the day, Like
have you ever had a car where like the muffler
was the issue? Was that a very eighties like seventies
eighties problem, like the fact that there was major campaigns
like you're not going to pay off for a muffler?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I guaranteed have you ever bought a muffler? Maybe maybe
Foreman changed that game too, man, But.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm saying, like the way cars are built now, have
you ever heard any of your friends be like brought
the cars of the shop back in the seventies eight,
you always see people like with their muffler dragging around.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yes, the muffler dragging on the ground fell off a
couple of times.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
So what I'm saying is like, have they solved the
muffler issue.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's an issue, we solved it gives I think they
changed the undercarriage of vehicles so it's not just dangling there.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Because it was like there was a bracket that held
it in place.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Now it's like, understand, you would know if your muffler
need to be not if it was dragging, but you
would know it needed to be replaced because it would
make an awful sounds like loud. You're more of a
housing underneath your vehicle.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You're just post us.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Another question, what happened to white petrified dog Douchie, right?
And what happened to dragging mufflers? Apparently used to be
what was in your dog's food that made it white
and that went away?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And people who taking the cadmium and forever.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'm not trying to be funny, I'm being serious. Like
the muffler, there were multiple companies that did these commercials. Listen,
we've all brought our car to the shop and had
to pay a lot of money for something.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I'll tell you what. It's never been in my lifetime,
the muffler.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I would have never thought I would be googling this
ever in my life, but it says mufflers have evolved
over time. They used to be simple perforated pipes and
now they're more sophisticated designs incorporating fiberglass.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna credit George Foreman. He changed a muffler
game and we wouldn't have air friers if it wasn't
for the invention of the grill, which led to that
you're not going to pay a lot for your muffler.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I guarantee Rich, in twenty years of working with you,
that might have been the greatest observation you ever had.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Mufflourishes, what's the deal? Why let's go to DV for
an update. Dan Byer guys.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
News in from the NBA and there will be an
Anthony Davis signing tonight in Brooklyn as the Dallas Mavericks
forward will play his second game in a Mavericks uniform,

now currently tied in the tenth spot in the West
(32:45):
with the Phoenix Suns, so the final spot in the
play in tournament. Warriors have a big one tomorrow against
the Heat in Miami. Jimmy Butler returns, but the question
is will Steph Curry play. Warriors are saying he's questionable
to play in that game because of his hip Intry
Onto College Basketball. Right now, third seed Oklahoma and the
women's bracket taking it to number six seed Iowa is

seven midway through the second quarter. Regional three earlier today

on Fox Sports Radio. Everything at Covino and Rich. Did
you see a clip of when Gary Vaynerchuk was on
our show at the Super Bowl? Went semi viral over
the weekend. You could see it at Covino and Rich,
at Steve Covino, and you can watch all of our
(35:49):
interviews on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. That was from
an episode of Overpromised. Hell everyone, what was the Gary
Vee clip about? It was about how to stay hungry
D Snyder style while staying humble and inspirational words from
Gary Vee. He broke it down on Over Promised, Over Promises,
(36:10):
our bonus podcast that's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Definitely check it out. Episode eighty four debuted last Thursday.
We talked about brackets and conversations to avoid. It's good
that you care about your bracket. The thing is, no
one else cares about your bracket. I only care about
their own unless you're the one guy. I thought it
was zero Spot said, didn't you find there's one one
(36:31):
gambling or sports site with one person that still has
a perfect bracket? Yeah, but I do wonder how well
Kidi biss Hennig, who's keeping track of all these mister
perfect kid Murph, Yeah, he's a relative of mister perfect.
So we talked brackets, baseball cards, getting you ready for baseball,
and we talked stadium food. We did that on over
Promise Check it out, episode eighty four. The furthest I've
(36:53):
ever seen on record someone go perfect was like four.
There's sixty three games total, and I think forty something
game into the tournament someone's still been perfect. But no
one's made it to fifty ever, So this person's days
are numbered. So March Madness your bracket. Hopefully you did
all right, and like I said, hopefully you did better
than snow White, because I feel like, what do you think?
(37:15):
What do you think the demise was the cast hating
each other? They went politically correct, they changed the movie everything,
and we're tired of live action Disney movies.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I think they're good if done right. I think it
was the.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Fact that there's been a trend. They've all sort of
gone down since Beauty and the Beast. This has been
the lowest one though. How about some original ideas. It's
all of that. It's a perfect Storm of the Mermaid
one was good. I took my kids to see that.
It didn't do that well after the opening well snow
white again. A combination of eliminating the seven Dwarves, a
(37:48):
combination of like, you know, the Prince isn't kissing her,
and you know, just all the political correctness combined with
the two stars hating each other politically, and the press
tore out happening. Yeah, Disney calling a big fail. It
cost almost three hundred dollars three hundred million dollars to
make and it made forty million in the box office.
So I hope your weekend was better than that. Let's
(38:10):
have a great week again. We're lying from the tire
rack dot Com studio again. Fox Sports Radios YouTube channel.

(38:31):
It's a fun game with Last one Standing. But there's
a few stories we got to get to and Rich
I know you've been dying to talk about who not
to sleep with. And Rich is the expert. Man, I
knew Rich nearly two thousands. This guy, he'd see what anybody,
stop it, stop it. I'm not correcting you, I'm just
(38:53):
saying stop it.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
So I mean, I saw an article this was on
MC sports and say no more.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
It's just, uh, you're not You're not wrong, but just
say no more.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The player on.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
The Miami heat HEIMI hakis HEIMI Hawkes.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
From Camaio, California.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
He man, there's not a lot of vatos in the NBA,
a a lot of Mexican dudes.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
So you got to give him props. Now, I know
that not a lot of guys.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
With their socks high, not a lot of down fools.
It's got to be racist, be a high joke. I
thought it was gonna be a high joke when it
was a sock joke. So Jimi Hawkes rumor that you know,
was he getting on with Eric Spolster's ex wife, And
(39:45):
it just got me thinking of like, who are the
people that you should always avoid putting yourselves in stupid
intimate situations with? And I would imagine if you're a
player in pro sports, your head coach's ex wife or worse,
her current wife, his current wife. This is apparently a
rumor that she has since been like, that's ridiculous, No way,
(40:09):
it's all rumor. But she was on a podcast saying
after her divorce from Falstra that it might be fun
to date younger guys because she could sort of like
play with them.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
So it reminds me of that time where who was
the rumor of who was sleeping with Lebron's mom Delante West,
Delonte West. Thank you Dan for filling in my bird
brain thought. That's one like, don't sleep with the mom
of a teammate, don't James, don't sleep with your coach's
(40:43):
wife or ex wife. You know, it's a The list
goes on on. This is a list of who not
to sleep with. I'll give you another. If you have
a favorite bar or restaurant in town that you really enjoy,
Like you have a seat at the bar, you check
out all your games there after work, you love their cheese, Oh.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
They got great apps.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Don't randomly sleep with the hostess or waitress because then
you sort of can't go back there. Yeah, So start
thinking about who to avoid in the bedroom. And other rumors.
Remember Corey Perry apparently slept with Connor Bedard's mom. Remember
that room of that hockey rumor? Yeah, don't sleep with
the rookie stars mom. Yeah that's another Pat move. But
(41:23):
again that turned out to be a rumor. We'll take
your thoughts and phone calls next at eight seventy seven
ninety nine one five.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Who is it most important to keep it in your
pants with? We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Plus, like I said, Last one Standing Baseball starts on Thursday.
We'll talk a little Mookie Bets. I'm feeling for that guy.
I don't know what's going on with health is wealth
man boy? So a lot to get to more Kavin

A nice weekend out here in Los Angeles. Hope you
(01:47):
had a great one. Let's have a nice week and again,
immediately after our show, By the way, I felt like
total butt cheeks on Friday, but I pushed through the
show because it's two hours of fun. But cheeks like
but nasty deflated like John Lennon looking ones. Oh okay, okay, Yeah,
I felt like cheeks on Friday. So you aren't feeling
like the the boobs behind Patino that are getting all
(02:09):
the rage John, I wasn't feeling good like that. I
felt so bad on Friday, but power through it. Ended
up feeling good on Saturday Sunday. Had a nice weekend.
But immediately after the show on Friday, you got word
that the legend George Foreman passed away. So before we
play Last One Standing and talk about neighborhoods, sports rules,
(02:30):
because Dan Byer's got a story, No, and I have
great advice. We're going to talk about who you should
not boink, who should you not sleep with. I have
a theory, well that does very limited things.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I could really say. You say, huh.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
We lost a legend, a truly American icon, a true
legend in the world of sports, in the world of life.
Not only a legendary boxer, but turned out to be
a greater man. The Great George Foreman passed away at
seventy six. As of now, his family still has disclosed
what caused the death. But I mean, the guy had
(03:05):
a tough life. He lasted seventy six years in boxing years,
that's like one hundred and seventy six years. And let's
not forget he fought some of the toughest dudes on
the planet. Some people just remember him as a spokesman
for the Grill or Mini Key. I guarantee it the
highest form of guarantee. In fact, George Foreman endorses our show. Hey,
(03:26):
this is George Foreman. You're gonna love a Cadino and
Rich show.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I guarantee it. Say you look at that.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Even back in the day rest in Peace, But even
before the Grill, the baddest man on the planet, as
Stephen A would say.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
He was a bad man.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
People feared George Foreman. He was like a fighting robotist.
Style was unconventional. He had crazy power, laying out legends
like Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, you name it, and then
became the oldest heavyweight. He was like a totally different guy.
I didn't even know it was the same George Foreman.
I'm like, that's the same guy.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
That fought Ali.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
You kidding me.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
He came back at forty five and beat Michael Moore,
ended up seventy six and five, rich eighty one total
fights seventy six and five and lost most of those
in the end of his career, but again became heavyweight
champ again at forty five years old. There's a lot
of people, and I'd imagine most people forty and younger
(04:25):
that don't even know George Foreman with hair which is wild.
And I only know that George Truman through highlights. I
don't remember a you know, in real time George trumm
with hair. If I say, in my lifetime pictured George Foreman,
it was always shaved head with the smile. Well, again,
it's generational because he was already a legend, and then
he retired, he found God, he became a preacher. He
(04:47):
had a whole second part of his life. He became
a spokesman. But before that he was probably the most
feared boxer in the heavyweight division. So when Ali beat him,
it was like a miracle. People were scared for Ali's
life at that point, and Ali did the rope dope,
tired out George Forman. George Forman hit him with everything
he had and then the story goes rich. Ali said
(05:07):
to him, that's all you got, George, and it crushed
Foreman spirit.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
He ends up losing. Ali pulls off a miracle.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And that's what makes Muhammad Ali a legend because Foreman
at that time was knocking out everybody. And like I said,
he lost five fights, but most of them at the
end of his career. He lost to Evander Holyfield. Think
about that just for one second. A guy that fought Ali,
he lost to Muhammad Ali also lost to Evander Holyfield
(05:36):
in ninety one. He lost to Tommy Morrison. In ninety three,
he fought Tommy the Duke Morrison bro Tommy Gunn and
he lost to Shannon Briggs in his last fight in
ninety seven, but again he beat Michael Moore to become
the oldest heavyweight champion till this day at the age
(05:56):
of forty five, a record that Klitchkho's chasing. Now he
wants a title fight at forty eight. But a guy
that fought Joe Frasier, a guy that fought Ken Norton's
and Ali's of the world, they were fighting. He was
fighting the Shen and Briggses of the world. Now I
pose this question to you, if you only know him
from the grill? Is the grill the greatest infomercial item
(06:20):
of all time? Because, dude, it was a game changer.
It gave every bozo like me the freedom to make
some rubbery chicken at home.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
It worked.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
I used it all the time, Dude, I was that guy.
As long as it was slanted right as the joker
has to be on an angle. Get that angle, the
grease catcher, and remember the little old You can never
find the grease catcher. Not only could you not find that,
remember the tool that came with like a little uh
little cleaning spatiyyah.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Do you know rich I read over the weekend that
when it first came out, the forming grill, it wasn't
selling well. Then he got on QVC and was so
good with the host and he at one point he
grabbed a burger and ate it, and that's what blew
it up.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
There was one point during the primo days of the
Foreman grill, probably in our college days, where George Foreman
was making five to ten million dollars a month off
the grill. Over one hundred thousand I'm sorry, correction, over
one hundred million George Foreman grills have been sold. We
(07:24):
all had one. Everyone had one, and I had the
og one. Because then there was different variations of him.
They had a deluxe one that pivoted to dude. The
premise of it was so simple. There was no on
off switch. It was plug it in, it gets hot,
and you cook some food. Had it in the dorm room,
had it in my first home. Any thermometer, Nope, just
turn it on. I think it moved out to California
(07:45):
here with me. I had it for years. The point
is it worked and we trusted George Foreman, his smile,
his face, everything about him. He went from the meanest
man on the planet to the most likable guy that
we all trusted because we all had that grill.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
Ude guarantee it.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
Besides your rubbery chicken, it made really good turkey burgers.
That's what I used it for when I was a.
Speaker 1 (08:06):
Bachelor, Burgers, casadilla's, warming up anything. The Foreman grill was
in every college dorm house, frat house, sorority house for
a good decade or so.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
You know, Michael Scott loved to wake up to the
smell of bacon cooking in the morning, so I of
course had to post a clip of him burning his
foot on the George Forman grill from the Office as
my tribute to Georgia.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
And speaking of which, I don't even think you realize
that you just mentioned the Office.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Guess what today is the twenty.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Year anniversary The Office debuted on this day in oh fi,
fuck oft that I was here an anniversary guy. You
really are tie it all together at a coincidentance, tied together.
So George Foreman again, you knew him as a boxer.
Maybe you just knew him as a spokesman. But he
was legendary at both and we all had that grill
and the guy was a true legend. And if you've
(08:57):
never seen it, if you want to pay some tribute
to George Foreman in your own time. He sort of
went under the radar because it wasn't a big budget
behind it. But Big George Foreman the movie, The Miraculous
Story of the once and future Heavyweight Champion of the World,
came out in twenty twenty three, a biopic.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It was pretty good. I enjoyed it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
So if you have time when you're done with The
Bachelor tonight, when you're done catching up on the White Lotus,
check out Big George Foreman the movie. You learn something
about the guy again. He was a great dude, great
family man. He named every one of his kids George
and Georgina after him. And like I said, it's kind
(09:41):
of crazy growing up rich. I was so confused at
that time in my life. I was like, wait, the
guy that fought Ali, because it looked nothing like that guy.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
That's the same guy fighting now.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
It felt like two worlds apart, two different people from
two different life.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He reinvented himself so amazing life you know.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
What you pointed out was interesting because we remember that
forty five year old George Foreman in the nineties getting
the title back then.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
When you watch old videos of him with Ali, you had.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
That crazy, sneaky power bro. It's like, wait a minute,
that it seems like two different people. It makes you
think of like, how like a Nolan Ryan. I look
a statup, Nolan Ryan has faced nearly twenty percent of
all Hall of Fame members. Like Nolan Ryan was pitching
(10:36):
to guys in the sixties and the nineties, like his
span like this. He was on that sixty nine team
with Tom Severs, so he was probably playing against Let's
see what year did like Mantle retire.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
Did He never faced Mantle?
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay, but I know Mantle played into the mid to
late sixties guys like that though, So it's it's it's
wild to think that Foreman and then he was knocking
out Robin Ventora. So yeah, his career span did a
lot of like legendary guys to re in history.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Got the simple fact.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
That he fought a Vander Holyfield and Muhammad Ali exactly.
So when you think of George Foreman, unfortunately and fortunately
the grill is a.
Speaker 2 (11:11):
Big part of it.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
It made him, he said in an interview once it
made him over two hundred million dollars. I think it
was a half a billion dollar industry at one point, right,
Danny g the grill.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
Yeah, it earned five hundred million dollars.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
And to think that Hulk Hogan missed that opportunity, that's
how the legend goes.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
We even talked to the Hulks about it.
Speaker 1 (11:31):
There's like brother, Some people say that's not a completely
true story. But the story that Hogan tells and some
tell is that they were looking for endorsers for this
product line and they were gonna give the Hulkster first
shot at the grill and either he missed the caller
didn't get back to this agent called him, right, Yeah,
missed the call. And then they're like, all right, Foreman,
(11:51):
you get the grill and the Hulkster got like a blender. Yeah,
and it didn't work out the same way. Look, Foreman
was great at it too, though it doesn't mean that
the Halkster would have had the same impact. Foreman was trustworthy.
We liked them, and the grill works, so you got
to give her credit where it's due.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
What's up dB.
Speaker 5 (12:07):
I was just gonna say, like in the pantheon of
of infomercials, I mean, that's it's it's got to be
like that. Maybe the Ronco said it and forget it yea, and.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
The Snuggie, but like like the the chop shot slap shot,
but also the theow yeah shayeah.
Speaker 2 (12:30):
They're all up there.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
I can't imagine they're above the George fle Flex, seal Flex,
Phil Swift and and Billy Mays was a big guy
in that industry.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Feel it made you trust the infomercial because if you
got the George Foreman grill and it was amazing because
I do you think that there is mistrust in it
and it worked like it did for so many of us.
As you guys have just been discussing, I had one
as well. It also put trust in that whole medium
that maybe now I can buy this or I could
buy that.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
You know, that's a great point we did. He he
was so credible and you believed him for whatever reason
because he seems so believable and like such a nice guy. Again,
total personality transformation, the baddest guy to the nicest guy.
It did open up a lot of other options in
the world of infomercial items. But to me, that's the king.
(13:23):
To me, that's the number one. And you know, we
often when we talk about celebrity sports endorsements, rich we
always bring up Shack because what he's done is amazing,
and we always took about OJ and how impactful he was.
But dude, George Foreman was right up there with the best,
if not the best. When you think about that grill,
it made the average idiot feel like they could cook. Yeah,
(13:46):
the average is and that's me all the way. Anything
that was Covino picture nineteen year old Kvino at Montclair
State in his frat house. Like, guys, I'm making murgers,
like for the first time ever. This guy felt like
he was a chef. I probably romanced a young girlfriend
of mine through the help of the George Foreman grill.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
It made it easy though for my dad. My dad
used the George Forman grill all the time when weird kids.
It was it would a little light would come on
when it was ready right, and then you put the
stuff on and you just watch that grease strip on down.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
That was it and you know spot you pointed, that's
the fat Remember that fat spot? Pointed this out earlier,
that it was a time where people were less informed
about health, so you were just assumed, like, look at
all the grease drip, it must be so healthy you
getting rid of all the grease in fat because of
the slant of the angle. The word lean sold millions
(14:41):
clean angle. It was all about the angle of the.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Grill had have gravity bringing the grease strip, and.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That it was the whole premise of why it worked.
It and it did lean what was it? Fat grilling machine,
lean mean, grilling machine, Lean Mean, and grilling machine and covino.
As you pointed out, you would always lose that stupidtle
trait to catch the fat.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
You'd never find it. They'd be lost in mom's tupperware somewhere.
You could tray. You can find that tray.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
And before the air fryar you probably still had a
Foreman grill somewhere. So it's it's definitely a big loss
just in American culture, but in the world of boxing.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
You know what's funny. I want you to think about
it for a second.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
For real, if you've moved a lot, you know, after college,
or your apartments and houses before you got married, how
long did the Foreman grill.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
Come with you, dude. It lasted a long time.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
I feel like the Foreman Girl lasted until I moved
across the country.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's still in my garage in its box.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
You have one.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Yeah, one of our buddies set us up earlier and
they said the air Fier sort of replaced the George
Foreman grill. But there was a time where everybody had one,
especially every college kid. Every family had one, but especially
if you were, you know, going on your own for
the first.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Time, that was the go to item. I mean, we moved.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
This summer will mark ten years that we've been out
here in Los Angeles. I probably I think that's when
I said goodbye or Truman Girl. So I was like
I was in my third early thirties when I said
goodbye to the Forman girl.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Your point was so spot on as well. There was
nothing like the spark that came from your outlet as
you plugged it, plugged it in or unplugged it. But
it was also no temperature. That's the great thing about
it was it wasn't like it didn't innovate. Because mine
had a bun warmer in the later days, and then
a plastic lid that you could put your hamburger buns in.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
No, I set my girlfriends on it. Yeah you missed
out the button warmer. They actually called me the butt warmer.
Speaker 5 (16:32):
But yeah, no on off. But we're gonna add this
bun warmer to it as well.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
So you gotta give there's a comedian.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
We gotta give him props because he does a whole
bit on it on how there was no it was
clearly designed. He says it was clearly designed by a
boxer because there was no one that helped him out
with the product. He said, there was no on off,
it was just a plug, there was no thermostat.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Who's the comedian, let's give him credit.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I know the guy's name who actually did invent it,
Michael Boehm. And he tinkered with like lawnmower and things
that were electric u it says here other than the lawnmower,
which was gas powered obviously, but says he he was
a lifelong inventor. Wow, So he's the guy who came
up with that. He made a lot less money than
Big George did.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
And props again to Lachlan Lachlan Lachlan Patterson, who does
a whole routine on it about how it was the
most simple design but it worked because it had the angle.
The whole thing, the whole thing was premised on the
angle of the grill.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm not saying.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
I'm not saying I'm gonna get one in honor of
the lake great George Forman.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
Now what do they go for now?
Speaker 1 (17:35):
But I'm looking right now, there's a pretty sweet, newer
looking one, like a new one you could buy right now.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Do you see the one on the stand? Is that
what you're talking about?
Speaker 1 (17:42):
I'm seeing on at Walmart and like Target right now
in Amazon for thirty four to thirty five bucks, and
it looks at a pretty but it looks like a
pretty nice one.
Speaker 3 (17:49):
Rich there's one it's like eighty bucks now, but it's
actually on a stand. You could put it on your patio.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
But you know what, here's here's something interesting though, Like
I have a teenage daughter, right there's a comfort knowing
me the biggest bone had used it and I was
okay with it. I would feel comfortable with her cooking
something up if I wasn't around, because I know it's
kind of safe and easy to use. I should say,
what do you think it cost? When we bought it
back in the day, what was it like fifty bucks?
Speaker 2 (18:15):
It could not have been that because every college kid
had ninety.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
It was on sale usually for like thirty nine.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Oh you needed the bed, bathroom beyond coupon, that's why
you need that twenty percent off. But I feel like
fifty dollars would have been too high for a price point.
I bet you was twenty nine or thirty nine dollars, because.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Are that so cheap? Really?
Speaker 1 (18:32):
Twenty nine bucks for that thing? But it was two sizes.
There's no way that bigger ones. How many times did
you make like a hot sandwich? I go pending like
you'd play like a piece of bread and some you know,
cheese and cold cuts and just smush it down, warm
it up. Well, I'm telling you, man, go buy yourself
a new one for your teenage kid for nostalgic reasons.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
And watch the movie.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
If you don't know a lot about the man, it
drives me bonkers when people say I didn't even know
he was a boxer. Come here, let me cry it.
Kick you watched the movie, learn something about the dude.
He was one of the best fighters, pure raw power,
dude power like no one else in boxing is called
Big George Foreman. It came out in twenty twenty three.
(19:14):
I think you'll enjoy it. You'll learn a little something
about the guy.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Did you guys?
Speaker 1 (19:17):
I mean Cavino grew up in Jersey, I grew up
in New York, dB, Danny g Guy, iwa Sam grow
up in Iowa.
Speaker 2 (19:23):
We were all over the country this show. What was
the George.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
Foreman manicky muffler commercial on every commercials?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Do you ever watch it in your life? Was that?
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Was that a big part of you childhood? Yeah, you're
not gonna pay a lot of this.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
I don't recall, I remember, but I wouldn't think that
it would be over and over.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
Oh it was like I feel like that was in
heavy rotation where we grew up because of that and
because of the grill success. For years on this show,
if Rich and I were trying to make a statement,
since day one of our show, we always said the
highest form of guarantee was the George Foreman guarantee. So
if I was like, dude, the Yankees are gonna I
have a better record than the Mets this season, I
guarantee it. My guarantee means nothing but if I said,
(20:05):
I George Foreman guarantee it. It's like an undeniable highest
of high guarantees. And then we always said the George
Zimmer guarantee was second to that. That's the Men's warehouse.
You're gonna love the way you look. I guarantee it guarantee.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
You're gonna like the way you look.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
And then the Tommy Boy in a Box guarantee. The
Tommy Boy Callahan breaks guarantee. There were other ones to
Joe name it guarantee holds some weight.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Rich Back to your point about it being affordable, you're right.
In nineteen ninety four when it debuted, it was nineteen dollars.
In ninety nine six way, dude, that's crazy. The version
we all bought a little later was thirty nine dollars
something like that.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
You know, with the price of a lap dance, you
get one of those, a lap dance or a form
and girl, that's a tough decision.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Danny.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
Do you remember the one I'm guessing you're picturing silver
with a black handle.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yes, okay, that was theatre and white with the black candle.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
The white one is what I bought later, But I
remember that og.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Version had the silver with the black Hans.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I remember seeing the ads for the one you're talking about.
Speaker 1 (21:03):
Rich just to think it's crazy to think that this
guy edition one of the greatest heavyweight boxes of all time.
You know, fought Muhammad Ali a vander Holyfield. He is
what was his record seventy and five or somebody to
say he said was he only lost five fights seventy
six and five.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
I believe.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
Meanwhile, the guy made his fortune as the face of
a grill.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
You know, Dan Pyre made a really great point that
may have opened the door for you know that that
genre of sales and infomercial items that we lived our
entire high school years, in college years and growing up years,
were staying up late and watching all these stupid things,
probably because he made it credible. Well, you know, I
(21:49):
guess a lot of times you buy things like that
and it stinks.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
The former girl lived up. Hence the success. It lived up.
Really you saw it and you're like, this guy mak him
burgers and Kisadilla's and chicken. You got it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
You brought it home and you're like, wow, bought I
bought one that did not work. You brought up some
of these other ones. I remember buying the Flavor Wave oven. Yeah,
I remember that and the Flavorwave of and was like
you could put a frozen steak on you and you
have a sweet ribbi in ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
It defrosted everything I tried to. I tried.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I tried to make a canoe out of a flex seal.
I tried to sail on a screen window and it
didn't work. Man. I was so disappointed. But your thoughts
rest in peace. You know, the great, the Big George Forman.
Oh you know what. We can tell you about this
all day. But hey again a legend seventy six. All right,
(22:41):
we got more cavin on wretch and we're going to
talk about those neighborhood sports roles. Damn Buyer and Cavino
both have randose stories in their neighborhood.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
The worst neighbors ever.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Yeah, there is another conversation I want to have in
it revolves around the NBA.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
It's the people you don't want to sleep with.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
There there's types of people in your life that you
should stay away. If you saw the White Lotus last night,
there's a number one answer on I mean, well, yeah,

Hey, this is George Foreman. You're gonna love a Cadino
and Rich show. I guarantee it rest in peace, Big Man,
legend man, and not only as a fighter, but like
we were saying off the air, the grill was a
huge part of Americana. Looking back, everybody had one.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
It was.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It had an impact on us, for sure. It changed
the way we lived and cooked in ate for a
long time. But there was one point Rich in his career,
before he retired and before he fought Ali, and before
he became the oldest heavyweight champion in his comeback, he
had beat Ken Norton, he had beat Joe Frederi, He
beat Joe Fraser twice. At one point he was forty
(24:54):
and oh at thirty seven knockouts. And again, Ali wouldn't
be the legend he is if it wasn't for guys
like George Foreman. Ali exactly like no one thought he
could beat a George Foreman, that's how dominant he was.
And my final reminder here is to check the movie out.
Check the movie out. What are you watching?
Speaker 2 (25:14):
The Bachelor?
Speaker 1 (25:16):

movie ever, but it was really good.

I enjoyed it. Let's take one quick phone call. Move on,
who do we got here? Dennis and Anchorage, Alaska? What's up, Dennis.
Speaker 6 (25:27):
I have a story about George Foreman. And I had
a friend and co worker who was a cutman and
he was repected to the boxing world. And he told
me about once when he was with George while he
was training during his comeback part of his career. My
(25:48):
friend was holding the heavy bag on one side while
George was hitting away. And I want you to think
about how dense and thick you know, I is. Yeah,
And my friend said that every single time, every single
time George hit the bag, my friend's hands hurt.
Speaker 1 (26:09):
Dude, that's insane.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
And his power was so unconventional the way he was
he would slug in the way he'd.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Punched from all those weird angles.
Speaker 1 (26:17):

last one standing giveaway prizes.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
Not only rest in peace to.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
George Foreman, but my heart hurt over the weekend when
I found out Brett Gardner's son passed away sort of
a freak moment, died in his sleep. They were vacationing
Brett Gardner one hundred percent. Heart loved watching him played
almost twenty years for the Yankees. In the organization, he
played fourteen years with the Yankees. First part of the
(27:13):
story is I hated to send off. I hated how
the Yankees just let him go, never gave him a sendoff,
never a thanks for your service. But he always played hard,
always gave one hundred percent. That dude won the World Series.
In two thousand and nine, on vacation with his family
in Costa Rica and his fourteen year old son, they
all fell ill, like mysteriously ill from something they ate
(27:36):
or something that happened, and his son ended up passing
away over this weekend, and they put out a statement
and just knowing the guy, feeling like you know the guy.
That's the power impact of sports. I never met Brett Gardner,
but I watched his whole career when he was a
young man. I watch him won a World Series, I
watched him retire. I rooted for that guy. You liked
(27:56):
that guy. I liked his heart, the way he played
the game. This type of guy happiness in the latter
part of their life, and then you hear a story
like that and it's so unfair and you're like, oh,
I don't know how you go I don't know how
you go on after a tragedy. Even they said Rich, like,
we don't have any answers. We're searching for answers. They
don't know what happened. And his kid apparently was He
(28:18):
looked just like his dad was a great athlete, a fiery,
feisty young man. Yankees put out in a press release,
the little kid grew up in Yankee Stadium. But, like
I said, it's the impact of sports. I never met Brett,
but my heart goes out to his family and uh
man prayers to them.
Speaker 3 (28:35):
Yeah, I felt the same exact way as you, Rich.
If something happened to my son CoA. How could I
even get up the next.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Time and continue on?
Speaker 1 (28:43):
How then feels like so much into their lives, you
have so much hope. Where's his life gonna lead? He's fourteen?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Yeah, a total nightmare, dude, terrible. Yeah, I felt so
bad about that.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
I will let me bring him back to forming a
cheery up one last time and then we'll move on.
I do want to talk about the people you should
not sleep with, so we're gonna keep it light here
in a little bit. But I want to quote our
pal Jim Lampley, who we catch up with every time
we go to a nice fight weekend in Vegas. He
tells the great story and you can catch his whole
interview on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page US. Sitting
(29:16):
down Lampley, he tells the story of why he screamed
out while calling the fight. It happened because Foreman, when
he made that big comeback at forty five years old,
Lampley interviewed him before the fight, like they all do,
said how are you gonna you know your age, how
are you gonna do this? And Foreman told Lampley that's
(29:40):
gonna come a point in this fight where Moore is
gonna just leave one moment of vulnerability open and in
that moment it happened.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
I'll take the punch and knock him out, and man,
it was legendary.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Is so quick happened? It shows you the power that
he had. And you know what, Richie made me think
of something else too. Jim Lampley great blow by blow commentator,
but George Foreman also did a great job in that
ring as well. Pun intended. He was a great analyst,
great broadcaster, So he had a.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Great life.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Can I ask you six years what other completely foolish,
irrelevant type of question?
Speaker 2 (30:21):
Sure, right at my alley, I guess mufflers?
Speaker 1 (30:27):
Was there a big demand back in the day, Like
have you ever had a car where like the muffler
was the issue? Was that a very eighties like seventies
eighties problem, like the fact that there was major campaigns
like you're not going to pay off for a muffler?
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I guaranteed have you ever bought a muffler? Maybe maybe
Foreman changed that game too, man, But.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
I'm saying, like the way cars are built now, have
you ever heard any of your friends be like brought
the cars of the shop back in the seventies eight,
you always see people like with their muffler dragging around.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
Yes, the muffler dragging on the ground fell off a
couple of times.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
So what I'm saying is like, have they solved the
muffler issue.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
It's an issue, we solved it gives I think they
changed the undercarriage of vehicles so it's not just dangling there.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
Because it was like there was a bracket that held
it in place.
Speaker 4 (31:09):
Now it's like, understand, you would know if your muffler
need to be not if it was dragging, but you
would know it needed to be replaced because it would
make an awful sounds like loud. You're more of a
housing underneath your vehicle.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
You're just post us.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Another question, what happened to white petrified dog Douchie, right?
And what happened to dragging mufflers? Apparently used to be
what was in your dog's food that made it white
and that went away?
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And people who taking the cadmium and forever.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
I'm not trying to be funny, I'm being serious. Like
the muffler, there were multiple companies that did these commercials. Listen,
we've all brought our car to the shop and had
to pay a lot of money for something.
Speaker 2 (31:46):
I'll tell you what. It's never been in my lifetime,
the muffler.
Speaker 3 (31:49):
I would have never thought I would be googling this
ever in my life, but it says mufflers have evolved
over time. They used to be simple perforated pipes and
now they're more sophisticated designs incorporating fiberglass.
Speaker 6 (32:03):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yeah, I'm gonna credit George Foreman. He changed a muffler
game and we wouldn't have air friers if it wasn't
for the invention of the grill, which led to that
you're not going to pay a lot for your muffler.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
I guarantee Rich, in twenty years of working with you,
that might have been the greatest observation you ever had.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Mufflourishes, what's the deal? Why let's go to DV for
an update. Dan Byer guys.
Speaker 5 (32:24):
News in from the NBA and there will be an
Anthony Davis signing tonight in Brooklyn as the Dallas Mavericks

with the Phoenix Suns, so the final spot in the
play in tournament. Warriors have a big one tomorrow against

our show at the Super Bowl? Went semi viral over
the weekend. You could see it at Covino and Rich,
at Steve Covino, and you can watch all of our
(35:49):
interviews on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. That was from
an episode of Overpromised. Hell everyone, what was the Gary
Vee clip about? It was about how to stay hungry
D Snyder style while staying humble and inspirational words from
Gary Vee. He broke it down on Over Promised, Over Promises,
(36:10):
our bonus podcast that's on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page.
Definitely check it out. Episode eighty four debuted last Thursday.
We talked about brackets and conversations to avoid. It's good
that you care about your bracket. The thing is, no
one else cares about your bracket. I only care about
their own unless you're the one guy. I thought it
was zero Spot said, didn't you find there's one one
(36:31):
gambling or sports site with one person that still has
a perfect bracket? Yeah, but I do wonder how well
Kidi biss Hennig, who's keeping track of all these mister
perfect kid Murph, Yeah, he's a relative of mister perfect.
So we talked brackets, baseball cards, getting you ready for baseball,
and we talked stadium food. We did that on over
Promise Check it out, episode eighty four. The furthest I've
(36:53):
ever seen on record someone go perfect was like four.
There's sixty three games total, and I think forty something
game into the tournament someone's still been perfect. But no
one's made it to fifty ever, So this person's days
are numbered. So March Madness your bracket. Hopefully you did
all right, and like I said, hopefully you did better
than snow White, because I feel like, what do you think?
(37:15):
What do you think the demise was the cast hating
each other? They went politically correct, they changed the movie everything,
and we're tired of live action Disney movies.
Speaker 2 (37:23):
I think they're good if done right. I think it
was the.
Speaker 1 (37:25):
Fact that there's been a trend. They've all sort of
gone down since Beauty and the Beast. This has been
the lowest one though. How about some original ideas. It's
all of that. It's a perfect Storm of the Mermaid
one was good. I took my kids to see that.
It didn't do that well after the opening well snow
white again. A combination of eliminating the seven Dwarves, a
(37:48):
combination of like, you know, the Prince isn't kissing her,
and you know, just all the political correctness combined with
the two stars hating each other politically, and the press
tore out happening. Yeah, Disney calling a big fail. It
cost almost three hundred dollars three hundred million dollars to
make and it made forty million in the box office.
So I hope your weekend was better than that. Let's
(38:10):
have a great week again. We're lying from the tire
rack dot Com studio again. Fox Sports Radios YouTube channel.

(38:31):
It's a fun game with Last one Standing. But there's
a few stories we got to get to and Rich
I know you've been dying to talk about who not
to sleep with. And Rich is the expert. Man, I
knew Rich nearly two thousands. This guy, he'd see what anybody,
stop it, stop it. I'm not correcting you, I'm just
(38:53):
saying stop it.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
So I mean, I saw an article this was on
MC sports and say no more.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
It's just, uh, you're not You're not wrong, but just
say no more.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
The player on.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
The Miami heat HEIMI hakis HEIMI Hawkes.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
From Camaio, California.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
He man, there's not a lot of vatos in the NBA,
a a lot of Mexican dudes.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
So you got to give him props. Now, I know
that not a lot of guys.
Speaker 1 (39:24):
With their socks high, not a lot of down fools.
It's got to be racist, be a high joke. I
thought it was gonna be a high joke when it
was a sock joke. So Jimi Hawkes rumor that you know,
was he getting on with Eric Spolster's ex wife, And
(39:45):
it just got me thinking of like, who are the
people that you should always avoid putting yourselves in stupid
intimate situations with? And I would imagine if you're a
player in pro sports, your head coach's ex wife or worse,
her current wife, his current wife. This is apparently a
rumor that she has since been like, that's ridiculous, No way,
(40:09):
it's all rumor. But she was on a podcast saying
after her divorce from Falstra that it might be fun
to date younger guys because she could sort of like
play with them.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
So it reminds me of that time where who was
the rumor of who was sleeping with Lebron's mom Delante West,
Delonte West. Thank you Dan for filling in my bird
brain thought. That's one like, don't sleep with the mom
of a teammate, don't James, don't sleep with your coach's
(40:43):
wife or ex wife. You know, it's a The list
goes on on. This is a list of who not
to sleep with. I'll give you another. If you have
a favorite bar or restaurant in town that you really enjoy,
Like you have a seat at the bar, you check
out all your games there after work, you love their cheese, Oh.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
They got great apps.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Don't randomly sleep with the hostess or waitress because then
you sort of can't go back there. Yeah, So start
thinking about who to avoid in the bedroom. And other rumors.
Remember Corey Perry apparently slept with Connor Bedard's mom. Remember
that room of that hockey rumor? Yeah, don't sleep with
the rookie stars mom. Yeah that's another Pat move. But
(41:23):
again that turned out to be a rumor. We'll take
your thoughts and phone calls next at eight seventy seven
ninety nine one five.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
Who is it most important to keep it in your
pants with? We'll get to that.
Speaker 1 (41:32):
Plus, like I said, Last one Standing Baseball starts on Thursday.
We'll talk a little Mookie Bets. I'm feeling for that guy.
I don't know what's going on with health is wealth
man boy? So a lot to get to more Kavin
on Rich coming up right here, Fox Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (41:46):
Keep it in your pants?
