C&R...BEST OF THE WEEK

Published May 31, 2025, 10:00 AM

Here are some of the greatest moments from Covino & Rich this past week!

Have a great sports & Netflix weekend! Join the C&R Show LIVE, on Monday afternoon, 5-7pm ET/2-4pm PT, on FOX Sports Radio! 

Yo, it's Danny g executive producer of Covino and Rich. Thank you for being down with us.

There's never been a radio show more to Pataga with me ever than you guys.

It was another fun week on the show. Enjoy some of the greatest moments from the past few days.

Now, my boy Jack Mack, who I never met, my best friend who I never met from barstool, brought awareness to the story and I looked it up and I'm.

Like, no way, what, no way.

This is a story out of Sylvania, Ohio Perrysburg High School. Now Perrysburg High School must have the greatest varsity soccer team going because there's a story of a twenty four year old guy named Anthony Labrador. He's from Venezuela, and he convinced everybody that he was this high school sixteen year old orphan that had nowhere else to go, and a family brought him in. And it wasn't until his baby mama reached out to this family that was housing him and she was like, yeah, that guy living with you, he's the father of my son. He's not paying me child support and he's twenty four years old.

He's not sixteen.

So one of those like orphan stories. Remember, like there's something wrong with esther?

Do you remember that?

So this family had what's there a real story too about some all the curious case of Nancy Grace. I don't know what's her name, something Grace, anyone, Talia Grace, Italian Grace, Italian Grace. Yeah, it was this little girl, but she was limber. That was their story. The facts come out that she was a younger woman, a little girl. So he's pretending to be sixteen years old, he's really twenty four and he's playing JV sports. So the first question is twenty four year old guy wasn't good enough to play varsity? What a loser he's playing JV. I mean, the whole story is weird, right, but he wasn't good enough to play varsity? A dude from Venezuela. Remember the movie when was it? A Drew Barrymore goes back to high school, never been kissed. Sometime there's a story or a movie where someone goes back to you know, back to school, back to school. You know, yeah, remember Billy Madison, he whooped those kids' asses in dodgeball? Or if you want to be like Rodney Dangerfield and do the triple Lindy, if you can go back to school.

Don't you think you'd play varsity even.

At this age, because there's a poise about you, a confidence that you would have. I think after a few reps, right, you can't just go in there cold, but I do gotta get some reps in.

I do wonder if you're a guy or a woman, and you if.

You're thirty five, forty forty five, fifty years old, this guy was at what age? Are you delusional to think I could go back and play here?

I admit, get there?

You know, my ego says, hell, yeah, give me a month to you know, get my stroke back, get my legs from under me, because there's some ring rust. You know, I could hit off these knucklehead high school kids.

Give me a break.

Even played organized baseball in decades.

I know.

But you you think you could go play varsity? That's my ego talking.

You know.

I think I'm at that age right now. What's a base for? What did John Carlos stand play over here? Notre Dame? You think you could be? I mean, now you're now you're putting me up against the best high school kids in the country. But I'm saying out here in California. Yeah, these are some of the best. John Carlos Stanton played there, But there's some of the best. It's a private school. But if you put me in some average high school, Yeah, I got a shot to start varsity.

Just based on man's strength a lung any day.

I did it at sixteen. I can't do it now if I went a little practice city. You're a strong guy. You think you could play varsity football as a forty seven year old guy just because you're like, I got man strength.

You think they would school. I think you could.

I could stand on the line maybe, yeah, on the O line or the D line. You're starting center, Danny g But if you're asking us to run up and down the field for the whole game. No, you have man strength.

You're a grown man.

What are you? Six to one?

Like you're you're.

Not a slouch.

You do you think you could play high school football tomorrow?

He's thinking about it. I paused for the effect, not.

Pigau Sam forgot to turn your mic on. Yeah the effect effect? No way, Okay, all right.

It's away.

You gotta put your ego aside. I gotta think about this.

Tell you what about center? You can play center? I think you could.

That's pretty Yeah. I don't know if you're saying that because of my size. I was a dB and a split this, you know, a wide out back in the day. But those were many, many, many years ago.

I think way I thought the dB on your jackets that for dan By.

I think about this often because you know the number one coach here on Fox Sports Radio.

Where's Doug Gottlieb. I'm telling them brou when I you know, are you rich?

My son, Hey plays t ball.

He's five.

But I'll go around the pony ball facility and I see the twelve U, TENU and there's kids that I'm like, I remember back in the day, there was always a couple of kids or twelve that could throw smoke. And now you hear you hear stories like, yeah, there's fourteen year olds that are doing lessons throwing that in the eighties when they're fourteen fifteen. I just wonder if we are all delusional. If you're a guy that's let's say forty five years old, you really think you could go play high school baseball. The thing they have on you is the fact that they're in that zone of repetition of doing it every day all the time.

Sing yeah, but.

There's a poison confidence that you have that like, fear is not a factor there. It's like, I'll give you an example. When I used to interview athletes and celebrities, right, I was always interviewing up like I was in admiration of them because they were older than me.

Most of the time.

Now I'm at the stage of my career, I'm like, I really don't care who you are. Let's talk about it. I'm not interviewing up anymore. I wouldn't be playing in fear. I'd be looking at this pimple faced geek being like, I got hit off this dork fair enough, you know, even though he's got that skill above me. Give me a month. My ego says I could so. Mentally, mentally, I'm like, I'm in zero fear of this moment. Let me get some practice in. I think I can so. Based on the story Guys Again, twenty four year old Venezuelan dude Anthony Labrador tricked the family into taking him in. He convinced everybody he was sixteen. This happened in Ohio. He was starting JV so aside from the crazy story. The fact that he was playing JV is like he wasn't even playing varsity. What a loser. That's almost embarrassing. That's like the most embarrassing part of the story. Yeah, if you watch, if you're twenty four and you're gonna pose as a student, let alone, he was free loading off some innocent family man. He's like, I'm gonna play JV.

Yeah.

Do you think Fox Sports Radio Nation that you could jump in and play a varsity sport at this age and stage of your life.

It's gonna be different for everybody.

I appreciated Dan Byer's honesty, but if you gave yourself a few months, you're giving these kids a lot of credit. My daughters in high school. These kids suck. I'm serious, dude, to the high heavens, they stink.

But you're also a grown man.

You have confidence. But physically they're pliable, you know, young athletic bodies. You're a guy that's like you have a bed weekend of eating too many food. You're like, I'm not saying, you're like you're going to like the best that you had me going to Notre Dame High School to try to play. That's a prominent baseball school here in LA, saying you live in LA.

I don't know.

I think I think a lot of us would have a better shot. Spot who never played high school sports, I think would have a shot playing on a high school team.

I think I can do it.

Yeah see, I mean see you get some reps under you.

I'm a kidding some field goals. Have you ever seen how bad the kicker are in high school? Somebody kids like, Yeah, I would get injured. Probably, That's what I'm thinking. I would get injured. I trying too hard. You probably would pull a hammy. I gotta bring some reality to the tistation, right, I pulled a muscle running across the street the other day.

But hold on, that's why we bring this up, because we, you know, let's bring clarity to this. Fox Sports Radio Nation, Let's get you involved, eight seven, seven ninety nine on five.

I feel like we are all.

I love the confidence in this room, I really do, because I I if anyone you you were a great high school ballplayer twenty years ago, I was all everything. I still it's not baseball, but I still play softball like twice a week, so I throw and catch it, hit every week. You you there are times where you don't pick up bat for me. Give me a month or two to get some rest. And I'm just wondering. Like I said, I I'll walk past kids that are teenagers playing and I'm like, yeah, I play softball every week?

Is that the same?

Could I get in the batter's box? Would a sixteen year old strike me out? And me feel terrible? What they would call me?

Bro They would call me Barry Pepper broke because I'd.

Be Pepper and everybody bam bam, just like this short little beaks pinks opposite field beaks.

Come on, dude, you going to kate right now?

You're gonna hit high speed if you If you're just are they making contact?

Our buddy Sean who listens on the iHeart app.

It's a fun question, guys, and we're just trying to make you think about where you're at and are you delusional or are you being realistic? This guy, who I imagine Venezuelan, probably grew up playing soccer.

He was twenty four. He couldn't make the varsity team in Ohio.

He's playing JV.

Let me give you perspective, Sean, what's up, hey Shaw? What's up listening out here in la He goes, Guys, I played in an alumni football game ten years ago.

Okay, it was not easy.

Wow, it was full contact referees and such and I and I dealt very highly that I he felt at the time very highly that y'all. You know, Sean's like maybe ten years younger that so I'm guessing twenty was like a heart attack. He was probably in his late twenties playing like an alumni game, and he felt at the time that's I'm gonna whoop.

These kids right right.

And it was a lot harder snapping the ball going up and down. He goes, when you're seventeen eighteen, you forget how agile you are, He said, we are a great reality. He goes, maybe baseball because it's more of a skill thing, where like, if you know how to hit a baseball, you can hit a baseball, where basketball you can't be the old guy hitting jumpers.

Yeah. Well that's why we said from the start, Rich, it wouldn't be easy as long as you didn't have to run up and down the field the entire game, right, we couldn't do soccer. That'd be impossible.

YO, think about playing basketball, right, you get some endurance back, you're pulling all these old guy moves.

That'd be sweet. But to Covino's point, yeah, cove to your point about confidence, though. I feel like if you were on defense in a high school football game, you could probably lay some some hits. I think, so, dude, I don't know.

Maybe I'm crazy again, but you know what, That's why I like to keep that fantasy alive.

And that's why I'm like, nah, I'm good on Sunday softball.

I want to still believe that I can instead of facing that reality that your buddy showing you can throw.

A football over the mountains. Yeah, yeah, you might not be the one. You might not be the one getting up after the hit. Yeah, I don't know.

I like living in my delusion of yeah, I still can't.

I'll tell you this.

There are times I play with mostly guys thirty five to fifty or so when I play softball. We'll be playing the highest level out here in southern California, so it's a pretty competitive softball league. Every so often a new guy joins the team and he's like twenty eight, and he's like five years removed from playing in college or something. It is abundantly clear that oh that's that's agile. Yeah, yes, you're shagging a flyball. This is the guy that's gliding like he's Carlos Beltron and he's like, ooh, I would not have been able to track that flyball down. And you realize very quickly that there is a big difference between twenty eight thirty eight forty eight. And you got to remember the big leaguers, like, you know, it's a miracle when a guy plays in the bigs in any league till four what do you it?

Just science? You get old?

Yeah, yeah, honestly it was. It was tough for me when I was seventeen and eighteen, So why the heck would I be able to do it at forty eight? You know, like I mean not just like there's there was effort and work put into it, and that was tip top to think that now, especially now it's thirty years later, kids are as you said, more athletic, stronger at an earlier age.

Yeah, just a different ball game.

What did Yogi bar famously say about the game about it being fifty mental? But that's my point, even though I can't make any other ninety percent of that there's so much mental advantage I think you would have as a guy that's been there, done that, and you have no fear or respect for these younger guys in this fantasy right again. And when I say respect, meaning like, yeah, whatever, high school kid, get out of my face.

Yeah, Barah said, baseball is ninety percent mental. The other half is physical.

So that ninety percent part is where I'm seeing the advantage here.

I know you're saying for guys like us.

When I was seventeen, if I saw a guy throwing heat, I may be a little nervous in the batter's box.

Now as a grown up, I'm like, come on, yeah, exact, I don't know.

I mean until you hear that that heater go by it. I heard a yogism that I'd never heard, and I heard Bob Costas talking about it.

Have you ever heard this one? His wife asked him. Towards the end of Yogi's life.

Yeah.

His wife asked Yogi where he wanted to be buried, where he was born, where they were living, and Yogi famously replied, I don't know. Surprise me.

That's stupid.

Let's go to the phones.

And get to the motor yeah, Will in Maine. Will this twenty four year old posed as a high school kid, do you think you could still play high school?

And he started JV?

What's up?

Well, well, well, thanks for taking my call, gentlemen. I'm only like ten years removed from high school and I coached JV baseball in Maine. And look, I get it's Maine. Up until Cooper Flag, we didn't have really anybody that made the Big four sports. But I think I think the thing that I would point out would be conditioning. I have no doubt I could like make a good throw or maybe put the ball in play, you know, maybe strike a kid out if I got lucky, But like running the first base, chasing down a fly ball base in general, all those things I haven't run in a long time, so I feel like that would be the biggest hurdle for me. But I'm with you guys. The mental side. You do bring that male.

Ego, that yeah, that confidence. You've got grown man confidence, where as a kid you might have been a little insecure.

David in Tech Point Man, Thanks David.

Yeah, I get done.

I'm fifty eight years old and I can't do no contact sports, but gimme golf or tennis.

I'm I'm there.

Yeah, I think you have to say if you were a decent high school athlete that you know right, you can't. You can't have been a guy to suck then didn't make the team. Then then think you're making it now that's big dreaming. But do it like golf, Like I would make varsity golf. I could see that happen. And you started on your high school basketball team and you're thirty eight years old right now, the question is, twenty years later, do you think you could hang?

Right?

And it's a good one, one last one and we'll move along. Seeattle.

What's up, Brandon?

Oh hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. Uh yeah, I'm I play center field up here in Seattle. I basically play every day just because I get calls. You know, you probably know what it's like rich from you know, can you sub today or whatever?

Yeah, I'm actually playing tonight in Burbank because someone's like, hey, can you sub on a team? So yeah, So if you're actively playing rex sports, your mind is telling you I could still do it. But I feel like if I played baseball against young kids, I get smoked.

I don't know, well, I think. I mean, first of all, you got to generate a lot more power to hit a softball four hundred or four hundred and fifty set. And then if you're robbing home runs, like if I get up there, rob a home run and bring it back, I kind of feel like it's pretty similar to a baseball and I played baseball, so it's a little further to the wall. That's why the Willie Mace catch is so impressive for any reasons. But yeah, I'm just as fast as I ever was, And I don't know if I'm different, but I think it's just like don't think about it and just don't be crept to the world and just listen to like awesome music.

And I think Brandon's built different for sure, built different brand.

Then.

By the way, I was a Julio Rodriguez. He played center field for the Seattle Mariners.

But I would also just say that the sports that you guys are talking about are different, Like he was just talking about and you're talking about baseball football. I just I don't see it, Like I don't know how you could do it right now. Well, the story was soccer, and that's an endurance sport. Sure, sure, but like basketball, you've seen old guys at an open gym be able to work their way around, do you know, do what they need to do? And yeah, exactly, you know they got a shot or they just always call a foul on the young kids. But I just I think football is like the completely different animal matter.

So all right, something to think about, guys. Iron Mike Trivia. Mike Tyson was a maniac. I want your heart.

I want to eat a children.

Put an ear to this if you're a boxing brainy act tired. Mike Trivia can't man enough?

All right, FSR security walking our broke Mic into the main studio. There is Hey man, we haven't seen you since last month. I hope you guy had a ninth Memorial Day weekend. Yeah, just don't say happy Memorial Day. I didn't say happy yet ninth one. I know you see George Strait was getting fried online because he said happy Memorial Day. Yeah, everybody.

Everybody had the problem because yesterday I had a big announcement. I got new merchandise. People fed out with insensitive, be safe and enjoy your Memorial Day and also got it with you.

Awesome.

Like, by the way, before I go, guys, you guys are talking about your big three.

I thought of mine.

If I could get a photo with anybody, it'd be Muhammad Ali, Roberto Duran Good and Jennifer Coolidge.

Jennifer Coolidge Yeah, like, hey, yeah, he's my favorite.

Can I first of all, say, had a Rob Baker who's coming in listening in San Antonio to our affiliate there.

What's up? Rob? Hey?

Rob?

And I gotta throw a name to you guys, because I feel like it's twenty four years later. Oh boy, But if I give you a name, I'm curious if you will be like, of course, I know if I said the name Danny al Monte, is that a name that everyone knows?

Yeah? Of course, cheater. Yeah. I was saying that one had a mustache.

I was saying, do you know that name or are you just going along with us?

Now?

Danny al Monte? Would you have known?

He's the she founded that fruit company last del Monte.

He was the little leaguer who was like twenty five years old a mustache.

Yeah, And everyone was like, yo, man, that ain't fair.

He's the reason some parents. Yeah, let's see a birth certificate.

Yeah, actually I was fourteen, I think, Danny g I'm so glad you said that the two thousand and one Little League World Series with his high leg kick and a asked ball that reached seventy six miles an hour, the equivalent of one hundred and two miles an hour from the shorter Little League pitcher's mount.

Yeah, he was five eight. He was a sensation.

Turns out he was way too old to be playing a way and not way too I was exaggering he was like fourteen, fifteen, but saying he was what eleven or twelve?

Yeah? Yeah.

And I bring this up because I'm coaching five.

You do you hear me when I say that five you like T ball kids. I don't even know how we picked all stars. I think it's just kids that want to keep playing that are into it, not just by the way. I just searched how old was Danny Almonte, and it's just thirty eight years old.

That's how old he is now. A twenty four Yeah, he was fourteen?

Yeah, okay, so he was about fourteen back then, and I wonder if he's reason? Is he the reason? Danny g why for my get this five you kindergarten and t K kids that I'm doing this little fun all Star trau I have to present I'm not even bs and you at the beginning of each game. The league's like, yeah, you have to have your binder ready, like my binder.

You got a trapper keeper.

I have to have essentially a trapper keeper of birth certificates and proof.

Of age for my kids. Is this the Daniel Monte effect twenty four years later?

Sure, no, it definitely is. Man.

Yeah, it was a very big deal.

There was a big news story last week where a girl playing softball. They made her cry because the other team asked to see a birth certificate on her. She was a big girl.

Little league or you know, little kids softball, sort of let's see the hands to see if there's any spider tag on it. Yeah, to be honest, it's funny that I have to have proof of address, proof of residency, and a binder of their birth certificate. It's like I had to tell every parent like group text, hey, for our first meetup for the All Star team, bring your kids birth certificate. That seems crazy to me. They're fine.

I blame the movie ladybugs.

You know, spot's great. It's a great blame there.

I agree, but hey, if you're doing that coaching life, it's uh, now's the time where everyone's doing the All Stars and travel. And if you don't remember the story again, Daniel Monte was a kid from the Bronx. Dominican kid from the Bronx, big lefty kid. He was fourteen, competing against eleven and twelve year.

Old play like minor league ball. But he played for.

A long time.

I remember, but I just, man, I just felt real bad seeing that he's thirty eight now.

It's like where did the time flies?

Right?

Jay stew I know he hates that, but man, that's crazy. I think that's a great use of time flies. Because if I say Daniel Monte, forever think he's a little leaguer. You know, you think, oh, yeah, the two thousand bubs like five ten years ago. No, no, no, Daniel Monte, the little league kid that posed as an eleven year old at fourteen is now a thirty eight year old man.

He's approaching his fortieth birthday.

The kid who you think of as a cheating little leaguer exactly. So there you go, Ti Iraq play of the day. The Knicks could not get stopped when they needed him in the fourth quarter, and the Pacers slammed the door shut.

Man Haliburt got it in Topping for three, Toppin' for three.

Nothing better than Toppings and Indiana a three to one courtesy of Pacers. Ready on Network and at your.

Tyraq play Oh the Day, fins.

I made a list of things that all make me feel the way that Miles Garrett's decision makes me feel. Now again, it's not personal. Miles Garrett is a great player, but when he started acting this way, not showing up for voluntary practices, it shows me they're not as hungry as they used to be. How about the guy that doesn't go to the award show to accept his award. I'm here accepting on behalf of SO and so, thank you very much. Like where's that guy? He's too good for everybody. That's how I feel he didn't show up for his own award.

That guy backs his car in a parking space. Yes, Sir, Anthony Hopkins would rather be resting at home. How about the guy that doesn't go to his prom or doesn't go.

To the reunion.

It's like, oh, well, you're too cool for everybody. You're too cool to show up, didn't have a date, they didn't lie. I don't like that the guy who doesn't show up for his diploma. Rich always defends that guy. I'm like, dude, that was like, you're part of the graduating tests. You're not going with them exactly?

You're so cool? Are you serious? Yes? And Rich didn't learn his lesson. He didn't show up that last day to his radio job when they threw a party for him, and he wasn't.

There exactly as I also didn't go to my college graduation because he's from you don't work in That's.

What I'm saying, dude.

Just recently, my daughter is the wrapping up of the school year, right, she got a four point zero and they were given out award. No thanks to you, no thanks to me, and she's like, Dad, I'm not going.

I'm like why.

She's like, no one's going. I'm like, yo, you worked hard, you're going. You're accepting your accolade. Don't be too cool to accept your accolade. Don't be cool to go to your your involuntary your voluntary practice to show that you're part.

Of the team. Team, sport man.

Don't call it voluntary, then, Miles Garrett, go hang out and enjoy life with your new girlfriend.

You're in love.

Athletes, happy athletes have plenty of time. Life so much more important. You're in an Ota. You're applying regular uh not logics for a guy who lives a ridiculous life.

It doesn't matter to me.

Rules don't apply.

I feel like the same rules apply to family and friends, and those type of things are way more important.

Targets just the job to them.

You it shouldn't be that way for a guy who's playing NFL football, is playing a kid's game, getting paid millions and millions of dollars. How do you not see that you live one life? And you're right if you're talking about Hank. It goes back to a story we talked about last week when Alex Korra, manager of the Red Sox, sat out skipped out of game managing the Red Sox because he wanted to make sure he was there for his daughter's college graduation and be there for the lunch and the dinner with the family. Because you know why, life is more important than one voluntary practice. For Miles Garrett to think any other way, is ridiculous. Why cold it voluntary? If it's not really voluntary, it shows me that he's nice hungry.

He's used to.

Like I said, I don't want to keep repeating myself. But was he there previous years?

Yeah?

Maybe he didnn of plans.

No, that's what.

Happens when you start getting too big for your briches. No, it happens. That's what happens when this is no longer your priority, but shouldn't be your prior to your fasih shouldn't. Why are you paying him so much money because you expect it to be their priority. Now, oh my god, you're so wrong, dude. If you don't believe me, let's go to the phone call.

And he's missed multiple practices.

Yeah good eight seven seven ninety. Sure, I'm sure he's gonna be real.

I'm sure he's gonna be real slow to the quarterback this year because he went to an anime convention with the love of his luck.

Well, with that line of thinking, punters and kickers shouldn't go to these things because hey, all they do is kick the ball.

Hold on, you know what this causes? Would discord be the word?

Yeah?

Because if you remember the Mark Gastino documentary. His whole his whole responsibility was just you know, go for the quarterback right as an ed rusher quarterback quarterback. But how did his other teammates view him as a selfish player? They ever vibe the way they were supposed to. It was all about me, It was all about Mark Gastano, and they hated him.

They didn't like him.

Even years later they had animosity towards him because all he cared about was about what he was doing, No, not about what the team. Has ever said that about Miles Garrett, but it could apply the same way if you go on what Sam was saying before, like he doesn't need to be there because his his sole purpose is about getting the quarterback, not about what the team is doing.

That's that's a great way to rub the team the wrong way.

And also rich there have been team reporters for the Browns that have said Miles Garrett frequently shows up late.

They should be lucky, they should really lucky he plays for that crap organization.

So why didn't they just trade them?

Yeah, why don't they just trade them? Well, I think you know the answer to that.

Because they want him.

Stop.

You can't talk. I understand.

I understand the want him, but that doesn't mean so you're giving all the power to the player that's rich. You are you can get rid of him. You don't if you own the team. I don't think you would feel that way, though.

Hey, I have a question if you're a Browns fan. First of all, I'm sorry. Secondly, we got Secondly, do you want Miles Garrett on your team?

The answer is, oh my god. Yes. If the answer was no, you would have requested.

You would have took his trade request instead of making him like the highest paid defensive player on Earth, because he brings it when Sunday is here, no one puts in more effort than that guy. The fact that he wants to go to win anime convention with his girlfriend, let him be.

Leave Miles Garrett alone. It is It is interesting, though this is from PFT. They say it's well known within the Browns that Garrett is frequently late to the facility. He has skipped mandatory team activities. He skipped mandatory ones rich on multiple occasions, writes Jason Lloyd at the Athletic dot Com. But it said it's worth pointing out why is this coming out now? After they just signed him to a record contract and.

Danny g I just want to make it clear, this guy's living the dream. I have nothing against Miles Garrett. I said the same thing. We said the same thing about Aaron Rodgers last year. Got to stay consistent on how you feel about these things. It's about this particular incident. Is he a great player? Of course he is. Do I think this is bad?

Look?

Yes, I do, simple as that, And that's just my stupid opinion. What's yours? Eight seven seven ninety nine, ol Fox, Let's go to Steve in Reno.

What up? Steve?

Hey, guys, how are you?

Hope you're having a great afternoon?

You too?

Man?

Hey, your name's making a big comeback because of Minecraft. Huh, Steve's at a drigging because of me, not because of you.

What's out? Buddy?

So rich?

He literally just said two minutes ago that Miles Garrett is giving his all to his team. So there was another defensive end that got a buttload of money, not as much as Miles Garrett. He for a hot minute, check my timeline. I believe Max Crosby signed his deal before Miles Garrett did. Max was like the highest paid defensive end for all of maybe thirty hours. Then Miles Garrett got his Max Crosby is the first in the building and the last in the building to leave every day, and he is the leader of that team, and he's setting the tone for a team.

You know what that you know what?

My favorite Dash and Ei Twains song is Steve. That don't impress me much. Really, I don't know what A losing team and they're not going to win more because he's by the last guy in the Miles Garrett, his contract iss a four year deal. He doesn't have plenty of life to live rich.

How do you.

Turn around a losing record rich by not caring and having leaders that don't show up because just by saying by throwing a team off, by off this topic, by saying, well, they don't matter, they lose. Okay, we could say that for a lot of teams last year. That doesn't mean you don't want your leaders showing up right now? Yeah, just I know that we're at all is Miles Garrett? You know what?

A you know what I said when I argue with my wife and we can't agree. Hey Danny, hey, fair enough. Miles Garrett's twenty nine Manzie ever get hit with a fair enough you like to wait minute, Hey, he'll be thirty fair enough when this contract ends. He doesn't have plenty of life to live. You're again, you're comparing like you're you're applying regular life rules to guys who don't live conventional lives, who live superstar lives, the same rules don't apply. The least he could do when he's making what is it again, one hundred and sixty million dollars forty million per year. The least he could do is show up and maybe even take it east if he wants. But he's there. That's the least he could do. So the end, Am I mad at him?

No?

Am I losing sleep over it? Not a wink, But that's how I feel about it.

I have a question.

What if we let's say it was Max Crosby and cinemles Gar. Let's just change the player and Max Crosby missed a voluntary Raiders walk through with the new coachings, tell me why because guys anime con Because why because math in the family? Because Max Crosby said, yeah, it's my my niece's communion and I want to be there.

It's more it's important to me. It's my niece.

I think what I think the reason why matters more. Anime convention holds no weight for me. None anime convention. If you're gonna go to a convention, at least go to SoCon what what's so con Look it up?

Is that?

Like I can't say it. I'm hanging out with all the people in the Saw movies.

Yeah, yeah, anyway, Snoop Doggs, what's up, Adam?

You're on cn R. What's up, buddy?

Hey?

What's up?

Guys?

It's up, buddy boy.

Hey.

This whole conversation reminds me of a famous line from mad Men. The guys fans of that show, of course.

In fact, I'm loving John Ham's new show on Apple TV.

Is so freaking good to finale, Danny g The finale Friday is gonna be awesome.

Yeah.

Right.

So there's a scene where Peggy is subordinate complained about working all night all weekends after getting a raise, and Jon Ham just looks at it and goes, stop it.

That's what the money's for.

Man.

I listen, everyone's gonna have a different opinion on this. I just think that as life goes on, the one thing this generation realizes that previous ones didn't. And that's the importance of family and private time. You're applying regular life stuff. This guy doesn't live a regular life. What if he wants to, then, then don't accept one hundred and twenty three point five million dollars guaranteed rich.

This money could take care of his grandkids. Grandkids. I think that's what makes it different.

But because he's so spectacular of an athletic human being, that disqualifies.

No.

You have a different responsibility though. When a company is paying you that much money, you just do. I'm not saying fair or foul, but that's how life is. If our boss came to me and said, I'm now going to pay you as the top producer in the country, but I'm I'm expecting a lot of you as a leader now, I would have to live up to that.

That's not when you slid, when you start doing less.

That's weird man.

As a Yeah, if you had a small business and guys start doing less all of a sudden, that's not going.

To rub you the wrong way.

See what Joey thinks in Seattle.

Hey Joey, what's up, buddy?

Yo?

What's up?

Guys?

Hey, thanks for taking my call.

Man, love you guys.

Thank you.

Hey, let's let's not forget dude.

This guy said Mason Rudolph dropped the N bomb, and he didn't.

He's a scumbag. And what is he like?

Fourteen year old Japanese girl anime convention? Come on, man, what is he?

By the way, animate not think it doesn't matters man, anything to do with anime.

I'm like, who clicks on?

That?

Not my thing? I just I don't get it.

But to him, if that's not true, I saw you slip Alex Tysher to twenty a couple of weeks ago, and I think it was for some anime.

By the way, that's just that's a topic of itself for for a more boring day, because we have a lot to get to. But Alex tyshert one of the guys that runs the boards here for the odd couple. He grows strawberries at his house and yeah, he because he's you know, T shirt guy Carris on a blender foot. He supported the local farms. I didn't know he cruel, you know, rich. He gets him from a stand by. He grows stuff in his backyard and he gets from local farms.

So why don't we spice it up to nine? I think I might be our only T shirt. I saw Rich give him a twenty.

I gave him money.

He goes illicit anime, I got this stuff.

I get money hasn't brought me struwberries, And I gave him with twenty like four months ago.

Nice Rich?

All right, Uh, you know what I'm doing with this. I'm knowing you guys, but you know what we could do right now? You want to do a little words of wisdom?

Oh, we have to give away.

This is like the most coveted prize I've seen, like trash radio prizes over the years. This is the complete opposite. This stainless steel swiggy is so nice. It's it's like a glimmery black.

It's like it's like I don't use mine. I have it like on display at home. I don't use it's too nice to use. Almost you just play a glass with your own name on it. Yeah, I'm proud of it. You're such an egos really nice. Yep, I open I mean I keep it in the cabinet. Everyone's why I open it up and look at it? Do you have a portrait of yourself in your living room in a speedo. Yes.

So if you want one of these swiggies, the number is eight seven seven nine nine on Fox.

And the rules are simple.

You just have to repeat exactly what Big Mike says, word for word for vatom. It's something we do every Wednesday. It's Big Mike's words of wisdom.

Let's do this.

It's time for the guy that runs this place.

Just for clarification, guys, Big Mic does not run this place.

He is not in charge of everything. It has no power over really anybody here. He does not run this place.

It's Big Mike's words of wisdom on a Wednesday.

Common sense is like deodorant. Those who need it the most never use it.

Oh man, that's an easy one. It's a good, good quote, changes lives.

But that's it.

If you can't repeat that verbatim, you shouldn't be playing this game. By the way, I just got word that Big Mic, who I guess sort of runs this place, is going to be live in Vegas with us for our big event. And he said he's gonna do words of Wisdom live. We're gonna give away a bunch of prizes.

Now, it's not really gonna make sense. Sence, the live broadcast is a Friday, Yeah, but may we.

Can switch it around for he needed more incentive to visit us in Vegas. In fact, let me say this, we're doing a live broadcast. We're gonna be there in Vegas at circa June twenty first, twenty second, twenty third, I'm sorry, twentieth twenty first, twenty second. And if you want to know all the details, we talk about it in depth on over Promised Episode ninety three on Fox Sports Radio's YouTube page. So if you were on the fence before the fact that we will be giving away more swiggies and Mike's gonna be there, jeez man, big parties on Friday. There, Miles Garrett is not going to be there Friday. No, sorry, he won't make it. By the way, how do you feel like one of your family members? I can't make it. I have something and that you don't deem important. Tell me why that's I think that matters. And by the way, you're forgetting the major factor here, how much he's getting paid to be that guy? What if his girlfriend's like Miles, this means so much to me, and what is he gonna be like, no voluntary Browns need me.

This would mean so much to me.

You know what.

I was watching Tony really on the Dan Patrick Show talking about his rules on the scoring system when it came to around the horn, and he said that he hated he wouldn't give points. In fact, he'd give negative points. When people use the word optics, but it really comes back to that, give me a synonym for optics. It's a bad looker. It's just it's a bad tone. We're here minus two. I know optics. It really is, especially when you're a leader of the team, if you're nobody from Nowhereville, if you're a special teams guy, I mean, who cares if you're there or not. But you're still trying to prove something. I get it, So you should be there, but it's not going to have as much of an impact as Miles Garrett. Now we've argued for a good half hour on this. We have like a Sam, can you give us a solution here? I think it is optics, though.

Ask uh, the.

Orchestraate, the people organizing this anime convention.

Just move it to rural Ohio.

Yeah, that fixes everything, because then he can go and he can be at Voluntario.

There you go.

I was Sam you I need you to come up with a solution.

Thank you, buddy.

All right, So to Ohio hop on eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox is the number if you want to repeat verbati Mike's Wednesday's words of Wisdom for a swiggy eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. And remember coming up we have midweek majors, so we're still going to go over the best stories in the world of sports and pop culture.

H you want to uh? Where do you want to go? You want to go to Michigan or mississip Uh? Michigan was first.

All right, let's go to Michigan.

Oh man, all the phones are lit now, everyone repeating Mike's words of wisdom. Let's go to a pistol pete in Michigan. What's up, buddy boy?

Not much?

Are you guys doing?

Are you ready to repeat Mike's words of wisdom?

Now? You got to wait for the music that's going to make you sound very intelligent. Hit the chime, Sam, It is Sam on the pan flute. Not bad, okay, let it simmer.

By the way, Sam, you gotta play the pan flute at our convention.

Yes, all right, brother, go common sense is like the odor end.

Those who need it.

Most don't use it.

No, no, it's got to be verbailibati.

Yeah all right, hey, thanks for playing, man, I would be terrible at this game. Appreciate it.

You know they are very particular. Let's go to I mean, that's the point, has to be particular. I want to go to Mississippi.

Yeah, Mississippi is next the old man. What's up? Brian?

Got it?

Well, we're good.

Ready, what's up? No problem, man, Let's hit the pan flute and let's see if you can do this.

Go ahead.

Oh man, that.

Broke out on me.

God.

Those who needed for men know.

Wow, not as easy as people think. Wow.

We've had a couple of times doing this. They've gotten it on the first time.

So this is good. We want a.

Little we want some gotta be challenging.

I got it right. Cliff in Kentucky, shame on you, fool me? Wan Sorry, Cliff, what's up? Cliff?

What's up on me?

Because I didn't get to hear it all.

I was trying to call in.

Oh okay, what.

A fail, Cliff? Oh Cliff, I love you, buddy. Oh my goodness.

Hold on.

I love that guy's notes and his bars, but not his phone calls. His notes got you through, His notes helped me out. Cliff's Notes, Big Time, Big Lee and.

The sly Stillone movie Cliffhanger.

Yeah.

Today, today is the anniversary of that movie. Did you know that we're just tying it all together nineteen ninety three on this day.

Wow, Florida is next.

I'm full fun facts Florida. Patrick, go ahead, go ahead, Buddy.

Thomas is like deodorant, those that the both ever use it.

My man, my gay Patrick, hang on the line. We're gonna mail out a shiny c in R swiggy to you in Florida. Hey, thanks for playing, man, I'll tell you do it.

Tire Iraq play of the day and I'm sure you knowing what we're highlighting today. Thunder advance to the NBA Finals. Take a listen one.

Four ninety four of the Final a thirty point route. Not a single day went by this season that Oklahoma City did not hold the best record in the West. And now this historic relentless thunderstorm has unstoppably, emphatically and officially earned the Moniker Best in.

The West Own Best in the West.

That's look at those a lot of big words there, courtesy of WWLS Thunder Radio Network, and that's our tyraq play the day and the way tire buying should be. And would you look at the time. We do it every Thursday.

Hit it, Sammy, there's a suit.

Yeah.

What we gonna do is go back.

Back into town.

Throwing it back for a Thursday. Old school went fifty. That's fifty after CNR give you the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Yeah.

So today, the twenty ninth of May, closing out May already.

Yeah, this weekend is what whuno de junio? We got two more days left of May, well almost twenty nine. A lot of celebrities birthdays today, one of those celebrities being LaToya Jackson.

Oh, I think you're.

Gonna say, Paul Skeens turns twenty three, mister and Libby Dunn mister personality.

I'm sure people would buy her bath soap.

Though, Oh my goodness, definitely so LaToya Jackson. I mean, I don't have a whole lot to say about her, do you, Unless she kept her nipples to herself.

I like her, sister, that's true. She didn't have as many hits though either.

She was the fifth of ten children for Joe and Catherine Jackson.

Good looking woman, looked like all the other Jackson's turned sixty nine.

That just sucks sixty nine life.

Am I right?

Yeah?

Sixty nine today? But she's part of one of the most famous families, maybe of our lifetime. I mean, not a family you'd want to be part of. Success, yes, but it seems like that was not a fun upbringing. If you were a part of that Jackson family, I don't know. Blanket in Paris and all them doing pretty well today. I'm sure they're all well off. Haven't fun? A lot of you'd switch lives. A lot of talent Jackson, I wouldn't. I love the Cavino family, but a lot of talent, a lot of success in the Jackson family. And it got us thinking when we were looking at the celebrity birthdays today. It could be in the world of sports, it could be in the world of entertainment. Which celebrity family would you want to live with, not be a part of?

I just live with, Oh Chunk's family, You're gonna live with Lean Now.

That's a good one number number Well, actually, it didn't make.

The board rich.

You're the only eye.

One person said you're gonna live with me?

Now you ever thought about that in goonies, like all of a sudden, that you's just gonna live with Chunkle.

Yeah, it's really weird.

That is weird.

All right, we need a follow up on that story. Maybe one day we'll get it. So you, based on the Jackson's right, are.

You doing fictional families here?

I think that makes it a little more fun, but opens it up a lot real families.

I don't know.

I feel like it could be either, and I'm going fictional.

Then I said, sports entertainment doesn't have to be real. It could be fake. Why is there I'm gonna guys hit the Drummonds. He was m He only adopted a cool black kids, So yeah, he need a little, uh vaguely Asian looking kid like me. I'm gonna be a little half breed Mexican like me. I almost feel like Uncle Phil could let me live with him in bel Air. I see the Banks family might be a fun family to live with. Yeah, that opens it up. So is there a family you'd love to live with? Make your childhood fantasy come true? Let us know based on the Jackson's family you'd want to live with? Seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Hey, if you have a great answer, we'll give you a prize. How about that give you incentive to call? I mean, if you joined the Tanner family, you had Uncle Joey doing bow Winkle impressions in the basement and there was.

Nowhere to stay, and then the full house and upstairs have Mercy the hair.

You got to hear Jesse gotta make Jesse and the rippers were practicing in the basement. Kimmy Gibbler next door. I mean, Richard want to hang out with Kimmy Gibbley? How about fictional and real life? Didn't Greg Brady date Marcia Marcia Marsha Marsha on set?

Yeah?

Some stories there for sure. Yeah, so there was a lot going on as what Danny's saying, would you want to be part of that? Let us know at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox, what family would you want to live with?

Fictional or real?

We'll take your feedback.

Next on a Throwback Thursday, Pacers Knicks Tonight, Nick s Gotta Win. Actually, two things could end tonight, Two things could potentially end today it's really not that hard to figure.

Out the Knicks.

See next season and.

My hopes and dreams, and oh and the NBA on TNT.

Right, Yeah, if they lose tonight, it's over inside the NBA on TNT. It would be their last show.

Until they moved to ESPN.

Yeah, exactly right. So we're Cavino and Rich. Hope you're having a great one.

What you mean, NBC.

I hope you enjoyed the OKC victory last night. I hope all your teams are winning right now. We do this every Thursday, and we're gonna switch it up just for fun, just to get you involved. If we think you have an answer that just slays, we'll hook you up with a prize.

Why not?

Oh really, why not? It's LaToya Jackson's birthday. And you may say, what a stretch, But you think about the Jackson's I'll.

Say, what a stretch?

No, no, no, no, because you think about the picture I saw was Michael Jackson and LaToya Yeah, and you're like, man, what a famous family, What a weird famous family they have? She's sixty nine, So it got I was thinking about famous families. It could be real fictional sports entertainment, whatever, What do you think would be the funnest family to live with?

To live with? Who if you could choose?

All right?

A seven seven ninety nine on Fox. You know, when I was thinking about the Jacksons too, I was like, well, who's more famous than them?

In sports?

There's a lot of random sports families that we talk about all the time. But let's think about the Wayns brothers, the Wayn's family too. You gotta tip your Dodger's hat to them. Who else comes to mind? Recently saw a clip of the Wayns brothers talking about how but dude, they must be a lot of fun talking about how when they met Jim Carrey, Oh yeah, they knew, like this guy's the funniest white dude we've ever met. And they're like they remember thinking like we're bringing him to in Living Color, and they remember doing stand up with him, saying he would do the fire Marshall Bill and all that, and they they knew when they got their sketch comedy show in Living Coller, the Wayne's brothers were like, Jim Carrey's our white guy. But Jim Carrey made front of Pewee Herman. He talks about it in the documentary.

Like when he can carry Me, fun of me?

You know who'd be a really fun sports family to have a meal with? The Mannings?

Ah, you know what's fun families? Yeah, they're probably the most fun going back and even the third brother who didn't play Cooper. Yeah, so sports family entertainment fictional doesn't matter. Is there a family? Probably TV family, right, Manning brothers. Can you don't want to hang out with the property brothers? Hey, hey, by the way, before we take all the phone calls in my by the way, it's all lit up. We appreciate it. Eight seven, seven ninety nine O Fox. There was an adjacent story about shows we grew up with. Because let's say your family is the Sievers from Growing Pains. I always thought they were fun. I always wish I had a dad like Alan Thick. You always wish we had a train in your living room like silver Spoons.

Right.

There was a study that took place that said if you shows today shows from the nineties, it changes their mood completely, Like they're less anxious, they're more likely to sleep through the night, they're not as ad d wanting their tablet at all times because today's shows conditioned a kid to like want everything right away, be stimulated right away.

Now, now, now, quick cut, quick cut, quick cut.

Whether it's Coco Melan, whether it's Coco Melon or a lot of these YouTube videos, there is a frantic sense to the nature in which they're filming. It changes their behavioral patterns where they're more relaxed. If you show them some Mister Rogers or just to slow paced anything that we grew up watching, it calms their mood in a different way, right, Danny g Am, I getting.

There, right, I got it. And it said that the moms who tried this out, the kids would watch an episode or two of a ninety show and then they'd be done with it and go back to playing with their toys or whatever, and it improved toddler's sleep patterns.

Oh yeah, so instead of wanting to pick up the tablet or the phone and watch the next video, next YouTube clip, next cartoon, they would actually play with their toys. Well that's perfect, then tonight instead of YouTube videos, I'm gonna make my son watch Martin.

Hey Benny. They were age appropriate nineties show to them, though Dora the Explorer it was.

They did say mister Rogers shows from the nineties, things like that from their little kid personal it's the slowest moving stuff they've ever seen. So puts some that relaxed, sedated sort of state. Yeah, let's uh, let's frantic more swipe or no swiping.

Yeah, CoA can't big baby Cochy, he can't even hang with Bluey. That's too slow for it. So for him.

Yeah, so, I mean, just something to think about in a related story. But your phone calls, your feedback, what family? And by the way, Danny, you have a little one and I'm sure a lot of people listening to Oh no, Cole is pretty big.

He's the biggest little one.

Yeah.

There there's uh the fun fact that if you got sucked into that cocoa melon rage at every little kid watched at some point they cut to a different frame every two seconds, and it really does f with your kids, like attention and you know, ability to focus. It's like cut cut cut screen screen. It bounces around so much.

So calm down.

The TV version of a d D radio.

Yeah, I imagine a lot of rich families would be fun on TV that we grew up watching, Like we said, the Drummonds, Fresh Prints, things like that. But let's go to your phone calls eight seventy seven, ninety nine one five, What family you hang in with? John and Montana convin On Rich, what's up, buddy?

Thank you? What's up? So?

Yeah, so the concept of like both real antake it would be more so fake in the nineties. But the McMahon family, Shane.

And Vince and Stephanie, the McMahon's.

Yeah, yeah, absolutely, you're.

Fuck I mean after the you know, Jim McMahon family. Oh they all wear some glasses. Yeah, they're doing the Super Bowl shuffle, he listen to. McMahon's a powerful family.

But we can see after that documentary and we learned a little.

Too much about Vince. I don't know if that's the answer. At once was I think I could snap at you any moment.

Who else?

What did that documentary that weird me out the most?

Besides the fact that since Vince has been accused of really some horrific stuff, the fact that he's.

Like and I never got my father's love like he.

Was just shows you the effect people's parents and his dad like hug him one time.

He hugged me once. That was the best moment.

And he starts crying, almost crying thinking about it. Trip, our buddy in Vegas. What's up trip?

Hey, Trip, gentlemen, thank you for taking my call.

What up?

I'm excited. I'm less than a month away from hanging with my favorite family because you know, and rich family.

That's what's up?

Man?

Are you in Vegas?

What's up there?

The uh so?

Uh?

Of course rich got me on one so I can over. I was gonna say Edward st. Which is Silver Spoons, That is a pretty cool place. But I guess my next uh, my next one would be how about the sopranos.

Hey, you're protected, but also you're any given moment, you like, if someone gonna off her hold on like they're they're light. Their living situation was never fun a J yeah, a J and menow were always real.

Don't go get a snack in the fridge after dinner, Tony.

Right, tone's all mad eating Gobba Gould and his robe all the time.

Uh, the mom's paying. I wanted some pulp. At least there was some money though, like some of us grew up in unstable families without the money.

Edie Falco's making out with Furio behind his back. The whole thing was this, He's got his gumad. Yeah, like so, I don't know, there's a lot of there's a lot of tension in the air.

When you got Meadow that h that SUV remember.

I mean, yeah, I guess if I get it, if you were if you grew up broke, I could see you wanting to be part of that. But otherwise that's a that's a stressful situation and worth the watch. Again, by the way, still holds up. I'm on like season five again. Let's say it's up to my oh in East Baker's Field, it's up?

What up? Mylo?

Respect Moyce, what's up out there?

Taking my call?

Three words for the patriarch.

And the family?

When Lee chilling with Robert, that's the Marley.

You play soccer.

You're in a musical family.

It's always the right time for twenty and you can't get in trouble for it.

They live modern, but they flew the world.

It's an interesting answer, man.

The Marley's music sports a little bit of rock star life legend. That's pretty cool, man, that's a quest interesting answer. Who else comes to mind? You know, I'm really racking my brain. I'm thinking of every show and like where I would have fit in most and I think I already said it, like, I think the most normal, fun family that I watched growing up was, believe it or not, the sever family. But what I want to live with them?

I don't know.

Mike Umember he popped the waterbed. Yeah, but at least like Alan Thick and Mike. Yeah, Jason and Maggie, they're kind of normal and fun. Everyone else, I'm like, man, not interested, not interested about you would have been the real boner. What about the Hucksta? I mean the Huxtables just say I just don't go drinking with dad.

I guess what she said.

Yeah, the Huxtables, Nah, not for me, Not for me?

Uh?

Who do we got? Seven ninety five? We got Jay and Seattle?

What's up? Jack? What ja.

The show?

Look, there's only one answer to this question.

It's a non conventional family, a little different.

I'm moving in with the boys from Queen's Minnie.

Chase, Johnny Drama, Purdle and.

I love that.

That might be a cool one too. You know what is that? The is that the Swiggy Danny g Because that is a cool answer.

Yeah, you know what? Hold because they were living like rock stars.

I'm going to give you one, can I can I give you the answer that I would not want to live with. I don't want to change your question, but as I'm thinking of our shows from our childhood, Yeah, like was there anything more stressful than The Wonder Years? And how like The Mean Dad Dan Lauria, Dan Lauria, that was who played Vince Lombardi on Broadway? He did I saw him? That was fantastic. Yeah, so many shows they're flawed or broke, Like people are saying they were living through like the Vietnam Times.

That was like, get out of.

Our feedback on Twitter and someone's like the Connors Roseanne. I'm like, yeah, but they were poor. Yeah, not to be mean, but like, if you get no room on the country, if Roseanne and John Goodman choose.

A family, don't you want to choose a family that you know.

Has an extra bedroom for you. Yeah?

Yeah, if you're gonna choose family, you gotta be fun, wealthy or just like we said in real life, is there a family? It's like, Wow, they're so cool. I wish I could hang with them.

You know who's very welcoming. The Cunninghams. They let Phonsie hang around and right, and they said.

They missed the c Yeah, they were nice. Tom Bosley, let's go to Brian Virginia. Brian, you're on the show.

What's up ONU?

Hey, how's it going?

Guys?

I love this show?

Thank you.

I got to live with Machene family. He got Martin Sheen, the dad, beautiful wife, you know, beautiful young wife. You got Charlie Sheen with so many drugs, any kind of drug you want, and you got the little Amelia answer. There's your buddy, the rom com guy.

I love the fact that Charlie Sheen having drugs was like like the good thing Charlie.

Drugs and women he'd bring.

I mean, Amelia is saying.

That's funny, dude, that's a really funny answer.

Gordon Bombay, I mean, come on, but so far, I do think entourage is the coolest answer, because who would not want to experience that at least for a month or so. Based on again, the Jackson's is Latoya's birthday, so we're thinking, like where the Jackson If they were the biggest celebrity family, would you really want to live with them?

Though?

Would you really want to hang with them? I think there's here's the interesting part. I'll give you the hint, and I'll give people a chance. But I think there's an actor, one of my favorite of all time, that his two different TV families are both great answers. His two different TV families are great answers. You're gonna say Al Bundy, of course, Al Bundy and O'Neill.

I should say Ed O'Neil.

Because modern family, you had the Dumpies and then the Pritches. So it's like Jay and Sophia Bagar, they're rich, they live in the valley. You know, the families, they all get along. It's nice, functional family, seem like they're a fun time. And then of course Al Bundy. Your siblings are Bud Bundy and Kelly. Yeah, but you know what, if Johnny gave you this wish, I think you're not thinking.

The right way.

I'll just say, but Kelly could be my stepsist.

Oh that's what I'm saying if you think from that perspective, right, how about too close for comfort? Ted Knight had two hot daughters, bro I'll high with them for a weekend. He had the blonde and the brunette.

You know, as a little kid, the family I thought was kind of cool about just.

A ten of us that show all those hot women.

How about children with Michael J. Fox in the family Ties one.

Were another The Keatons normal, they were like cool, nice parents. Yeah, they were very normal. That would that would have been kind of fun.

I'm with you. I feel the same way about them as I do with Growing Pains. Fun.

Fact, what's the dad's name on that show, Stephen Keaton?

No, but his actor the actor I don't know his real name, Meredith Baxter Bernie. The mom and the dad were born on the same day. I thought that was always an interesting sure about that? I know for a fact, man, you made that up, Michael Gross, Michael, ah. But if you think from that perspective, your answer might be different. Like if you start thinking about, yeah, you know, hanging with Charles and Buddy, Charles in charge to hang out Nicole Eggert and her prime, you know, I wouldn't mind hanging out with the Powells. I always thought that about Charles and Willis Charles damning lots of booty back then, Charles is essentially your babysitter and your step your stepsister is is the call Eggert and Buddy Lembeck always comes by. That might be fun you go down to Sid's, right, Sids Pizza, Hey, Charles, and then you get to tag along.

That might be fun. How about JJ as your brother? Good time?

I mean, you're having good times right.

Some may say Dinom eight seven seven ninety nine out fox, it's a silly question. It doesn't have to be fictional. Is there a real family? I already said the Waynes brothers, that's that's the way. Say you got to live there for a weekend and party and barbecue with them. You're not having a great time with the Waynes family. I mean you always had a huge crush on Natalie from Facts of Life.

So what about living in with those women?

I want to sleep between Natalie and missus Garrett dude, two shoutouts in one week. All right, let's go. What about Blair or TOUTI? Oh tuty all the way? Absolutely Kim Fields all day. Well, what do you want to say?

Oh?

I got one for you? The LaRusso family a la cobra kai because the wife is she's kind of hot. Yeah, and they have money. Yeah yeah nice, but lachyo who I love?

In real life? The characters should have annoying Maybe get some free karate lessons cove. Are you gonna see Karate Kids Legends comes out this weekend?

We'll be talking about it tomorrow on weekend.

Hob'm now Roddy Kid Legends. Yeah, with Jackie Chan and Ralph Machio. You can probably legit see that.

He will not. I don't know.

I'm debating Yankees Dodgers this week. Yeah, I said, I said, are you gonna go see the Yankees Dodgers?

Who goes?

You underestimate my level of wanting to chill?

Yeah, I mean I love watching at home.

If he won't go to the Dodgers Yankees game out here in l A. You think he's going to the box office to see the club, I'm not cheap. I want to enjoy being home as much as possible. All right, So back to the calls and we'll wrap it up. So far, entourage is the number one answer on the board. If you could beat it. What family would you want to chill with? Fictional or real? It doesn't matter. Eight se seven ninety h Ue Foxes wrapping up with your phone calls. Now, Steve Odessa, what's up?

Steve? What's up?

Guys?

Big fan? Thanks about Super spoons Man, living room and a train and Manudo performed on the show one time.

In their living room.

Got to keep it moving and you'd have Aaron Gray around.

Yeah, you know what that's I think it's a pretty common and relatable answer because every kid probably watched, like damn, I wish I was rich like that. So that's a good one. That's a good answer, but it doesn't beat on thourage. But thank you eight seven seven ninety nine Fox. So we got Todd in Missouri, Todd, Todd's the coolest.

What's agree with?

My daughter?

And shout out the Belcher.

Family from Bob's Burgers. It looks like a fun time.

So you know, we never thought of fictional what about h the Simpsons or the Griffins family guy, any of those families sort of fun or they're also.

That would add an hour onto the conversation if you go to cartoons.

Yeah, but I mean fair, fair, Let's go back to the calls you want to talk to?

Who man? People are lighting them up? Joe? What's up? Joe?

Joe? And me?

Hey, how about I have to between two the Kashian, Todd, Julie and Nanny Fag By.

The way, Kardashian's good answer, Yeah, dude, I changed my answer. I want to live with them for sure. Yeah, because they're all hot and they're rich. After a week, Vino is going to come back with a fake ass and botox. Yeah, oh yeah, I'm in sign me up. That's my answer. I don't want to want you think I want to live to Key family. Nice, ask Cavina. I'm going We're going to say, then you could get Chris's surgeon. And by the way, they're real and fake all at the same time. So that's my answer. All right, you know what we gotta do this. We're gonna give away some swiggies and give away some prizes for nice reviews.

Let's go, Yeah, Happy Friday. Let's do this. And the podcast is actually hearing this beat because me and my boy Camo made this back in two thousand and six. Nice, so license to us.

This is exclusive.

All right. Let's start with a one star review to keep you guys nice and humble. And by the way, this is coming from the Cavino and Rich FSR Apple podcast page. A lot of people get there CNR from from Apple. You can leave your five star review if you think we are worthy. This one, though, is a one star and to our credit, our show's credit. I had to really dig to find a couple of one star reviews from February. In fact, serb guy sent this in.

What's not encouraged Idiots? Though, Well, he's not going.

To get a swiggy, right, you don't unless you guys want to give him one. But the title, he says, eh, one star some of the weakest takes in sports reporting when they're not reporters. These guys have spent more than a week discussing the Yankees and the rollback of facial hair requirements. If you want in depth sports analysis, this isn't your show. Thanks right about that.

If the guy listened for a week, though, and he must have enjoyed what you were doing in sum respective.

But I'll be honest, I almost can't disagree with them.

We did talk a lot about Yankee facial hair, and we're not hardcore analysts.

It's twenty two other hours of that.

It's like you eat your entire plate of food at a restaurant and you're like, take it back, I hated it.

My dad pulls that joke every time.

Wait, he wasn't done clowning here. He says. Also, mostly only funny to themselves. Fair, that's funny. We do laugh at ourselves.

I mean, he's right, you have to laugh with yourself and at yourself laughing.

Now we're ramping up here. I have a three star from la X Guy twenty one three star, he says his title. They are just okay, they are. They are more like the TMZ of the sports world. A lot of topics aren't about sports directly, but try to tie back to sports in some way so that they can call it sports talk. I still listen every once in a while for a change of pace.

I mean, then what's sports talk? The x'es and o's and the game analysis. That's boring so far, people taking themselves too seriously. I will say, I want to predict the future about the game on Uh, that's a win, that's.

A loss, that's a win.

That's a win.

So far, even though they give his bad reviews, both of them are right on the money.

They are. They are accurate.

For sure, all right, very successful.

You know what it's like.

Though, It's like they went to they went to a seafood restaurant and they're ordering a like turkey salad.

Yeah, like you come to our show, honestly, this this is the formula in sports talk radio that's most popular right now now. But now we've always a few years ago, yeah, it wasn't if you weren't remember, there was the up keep a sports guy back in the day, like stick to sports, and we would get those calls. In fact, when you guys first debuted on the network, I would take several calls of that angry guy saying stick to sports. Times have changed.

I mean, truthfully, we're just trying to do entertaining radio, yeah, and talk sports while doing it.

Yeah, and we cover all the sports headlines.

So yeah, that guy's not wrong. I'll take the three.

All right, So let's go to It's it's Hey, it's easier to find five star reviews. In fact, got a four point nine overall rating here going DP and I don't think this is from Dan Patrick of Sports and Pop Culture at its finest. Five stars my favorite show in the entire world of sports talk radio. CNR touch on all sorts of topics, ranging from sports, current events, pop culture, popular trends, et cetera. They're relatable, knowledgeable, and hilarious. I always look forward to listening to them daily. Thank you. FSR for the top notch content. Nice, wow, who wrote that one?

Your mom?

Thank you? Thank you, DP. And that guy is Swiggy. Yeah, I'll tell him how at the end of this. Yep, all right, next one, Kyle C with five stars, hands down the best. CNR strike a perfect balance between sports and culture. They are both super raw and authentic on their takes. When I listen to them, I sometimes feel like I'm just kicking it with the homies at a bar dope show. I love it.

I love that guy.

All right, thank you for that, Kyle C. And now another five star review for a Swiggy here. Howie f R fantastic shows his headline, these guys are a fantastic listen. They talk sports but also life. Danny g Sam and Spot really add to the show. They fill in for Colin Cowherd and Dan Patrick often and crush it Big Mike, who please bump this show up to three hours and video all of it? Howard R. Nice Howard, thank you for that.

Nothing about us being in our developmental stages, right, No, that's what they said about Dak Prescott.

Yeah, all right, and we'll give away one more Swiggy here. The title is CNR is amazing from Hoff at nineteen eighty. Love these guys. I listen every single day and hope that one day they're on in the morning the primetime shift. He wrote, ha ha ooh haha. All right, thank you Hoff and if you heard your review, Red, just hit me up at Crprizes at gmail dot com. That's Crprizes at gmail dot com. I'll add you to our swiggy mailing list.

Thank you, Danny G. And thank you for all the reviews. Keep from coming, and thank you for that one star of you two people was humbled, Danny.

I appreciate that.

And by the way, you don't need to do that, because I found some comments about us on Reddit and I was.

Immediately humbled, immediately humbled. I'm like, why what is this?

I am a true believer in If you don't have people hating you, then you're not doing anything exactly.

You're boring.

Thank you, Sam, and we're trying not to be that. Call us whatever you want, but boring shouldn't be on the list. So I'm Steve Camino. That is Rich Davis.

Danny G. Got your prizes.

If you heard you review, hit them up, and now we got to talk about tattoos. Oh from Fantasy Island, your favorite ones. That must be one of those great references, the one star review.

Ex Yeah, our younger listeners that went right over their heads.

TV show reference great uh, Fantasy isl.

A lot of people said I looked like him when I was in kindergarten.

I mean, you look like him if you just ever kept growing because you were teasing Goldberg.

Rich got to hear about this.

But I want people to stand by too, because we're also going to get you ready for the weekend with weekend hobnaming.

We still got to get to that.

Don't you threaten me this story. It's a quick one, but it posts the question family tattoos, lover tattoos, sports team tattoos.

Where do you draw the line with ink?

By the way, Danny g is the only guy here that I know, unless let's Lolan Cron has some places we don't know about. He's the only guy here with tattoos. Loan Cron, do you have any.

I have a.

Tattoo commemorating the late Great Lakers announcer Chick Hern in an area you cannot present on radio, and ironically, to comply with certain standards and also to salute his career in radio. And it's actually printed in braille as well.

That's great.

The tattoo artists ask you, do you really want chick hern holding such a small micro was?

What?

Noll? Again, Danny G's the guy with all the ink. For the record, he had tons of forty hours done on my chest. Do you even know how many full chests? Just late? People wondering, Well, I don't think you could count him like that anymore, because I have full sleeves on both not full sleeves, but half sleeves on both arms, and then a full chess piece. Are you're not done either? Right? Nah? I wouldn't think so.

You guys just assume I don't have any I assume you don't.

You know why, because you're such a mama's boy. That's why you would be cracked. I was you be a mama's boy and had tats.

I was thinking like that, like you know that, like as I remember the clippers, like I guess you would call like thug font?

Right remember that font?

Oh?

Yeah, yeah, I picture Sam with Iowa across his chest, the old English font or whatever. Yeah, he has Caitlin Clark on his but cheek, I do. But the portrait the story was Goldberg the wrestler. We all remember Goldberg the wrestler. From what I understand, his son got his dad the dad Goldberg's signature tattooed on him, and Goldberg said it was like the most beautiful honor and you know, meant so much to him, and it didn't, you know, get you thinking kids, sports teams, lovers, like they always say kiss the death. When you're dating someone, you get a tattoo with their name. Let me let me get this right though. Yeah, Goldberg's son got his dad, got Goldberg's got Goldberg's.

Autograph tattooed on him. Like, here's my dad's saying, my dad, honor to my dad.

I mean, I do, like the honor before he's dead sort of thing, right, like soft, yeah, Father's day coming up. Dad's always get the short end of the stick when it comes to that stuff. Hey Dad, I love you. Here's what I did, because most people do that when their dad dies.

I don't know.

If I would ever get a tattoo our generation, if you're rough, if you're a borderline millennial gen X, or if you were born around nineteen eighty, right, we didn't grow up like a younger generation like now, I feel like you'd be. It would be hard to find a younger person if you're like twenty five to thirty is yourself.

Because prisons had tattoos.

Yeah, it was like you know, pop, I had an anchor, and you know, if you were in the military, you had like a motorcycle, you know, make it lady on your arm or something right, or if you lived in Jersey you had barbed wire like you are our tribal band.

Well, look at Chet Holmgren of the Thunder. It looks like a sticker. And that's the evolution. We've talked about the evolution of tattoos on our show in the past. Right now you're on if you don't have one, especially as you have well, and if you don't have one that looks really, really nice, there's no excuse nowadays to have a tattoo that looks whack.

It's wild to think that at one point Dennis Rodman was like, oh my god, look at all those tattoos. Meanwhile, like so many NBA players are equally as tatted up.

That is crazy to think about. Like he was definitely a pioneer in that direction.

Think of all the stars of the eighties and nineties, did any of them have tattoos? Think of a caramelone Barkley Ewing, the Dream Team. I bet you it would be hard to find a tattoo on.

The Dream Team.

The picture of the Dream Team right now.

Nineteen ninety two, Larry Bird was Did Larry Bird have sleeves?

No?

How do you handle it when your kids want tattoos? Let them do what they want?

No?

What's warning? Warning?

I don't know what's the dumbest I have one in mind?

What's the dumbest tattoo you've ever seen on someone?

Because I have one I could share with her you right now?

Yeah, it's here.

I was in line, I think I was driving across the country. I was in line at a gas station. I was behind this dude and he had this tattoo of an ice cream cone with like a face ahead, arms and legs, and one of the arms was holding a gun. And I was like, this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen, an ice cream dude with a gun.

And it was like, what, why? Why?

So I saw one on Social Idea where it was a guy who had a tiny little body on his chest, So can I get a big y.

Yes, I've seen that. That one messes with you. And I've seen a woman with a profile going along her face of like another side profile.

That's why That's why it was such a.

Big deal when Mike Tyson got the face tattoo, because I was like, what is he doing now? People in corporate in America have like neck tattoos. Anyway, would you do that? Get your dad's autograph?

Na?

If I did, it would just be my name anyway. That means Rich isn't passionate about his family though, because Rich, you've explained to me in the past that you just never found something you were that passionate about as far as getting Yeah, my dad's signature would be my name.

No. The only thing I've thought about is I lost my wedding band twice. Once was at a strip club, I mean at a restaurant, and I don't wear I don't wear a wedding band. So I've thought about, like, what if I got a tattoo on my wedding on my ring.

Finger branded for life? Yeah, I don't know.

It's an interesting thought. At COVID on Rich while we go to Isaac for an update.

I actually have a quick tattoo update take you back to This is not part of the update, by the way, but December of twenty sixteen. At that time, the Dallas Cowboys, in the year of Super Bowl fifty one, were on an eleven game winning streak. A Cowboys fan named Jordan Garnett got a tattoo of himself on his right shoulder with the Cowboys star logo and Super Bowl fifty one champions nep did not exactly work out. Ironically, someone who would have done the same thing for the Atlanta Falcons in the third quarter of the Super Bowl that year, that would not have worked out as well.

There's always some clown every year, Isaac that does like a Super Bowl tattoo, and you always see it on like TMZ Sports or you know, bars or something else. Abody just got a little update. Danny gpeks for this a football fan. Have you guys seen this where they went viral for they took their Dallas Cowboy tattoo and turned it into a chief's tattoo so that the Super Bowl tattoo worked.

Yeah, it's the chief with the Indian headdress on his whole back to cover up Cowboys that's amazing, so and say it's the first time see that his cowboy logo had covered a Niners tribute. Man, this guy's gott can't make up his amazing how they fixed these tattoos though? And now it's time for our Express pros Pro the Week. I feel like Rich's hoping it's him or something because he did good and softball this week. It's not Rich Davis. It's SGA, baby, not only League MVP, but Series MVP taken OKAC to their first finals since twenty twelve.

How could you deny SGA? He's your Express pros Pro of the Week. And who are they going to play? Can the Knicks handle him? Is gonna be the Pacers? And as we established earlier this week, yeah, Pacers OKAC wouldn't be a big ratings bust, big ratings grab, but it could be a competitive, really fun series to watch. But speaking of things to watch, it's time let's do this weekend hob nobbin live.

In for the weekend.

You're winning bets for talking points if you get stuck socializing, You ever done anything dangerous?

You ever dance with the devil in the pale Line?

Friday brings us weekend, hob Nobby Chris.

Did you see the story about Jehan Carlos Stanton telling his fellow Yankees, I better not see you wearing those rings around. They're AAL championship rings. John Carlos Stanton after they receive their twenty twenty four AL Championship rings said, don't be wearing those. It's not the one we want.

Oh, and that's why I'm pumped about the Yankees Dodgers this weekend. Guys, come on Freed Gonsolin twenty Gonsolin on the Hill for the Dodgers. Gonna be watching that all weekend long. Plus, if you're a fight fan, fighty, you got a few good fights. Plant, Resendiz, Caleb Plant, he's a great fighter to watch.

You got Jamel Charlow on that card.

You got Kamil Moten on that card again, Plant defending HISBA super Middleweight championship. He's the interim WBA champion. Got UFC fight Night. You got Karate Kid legends. Rotten Potatoes given it fifty nine percent, but rotten potatoes. Do any karate Kid movies or Cobra Kai ever get good ratings? That's a good point, is Maacio Jackie Chan.

It's a whole different world.

Karate Kid Legends comes out this weekend, and of course over promised number ninety four our bonus podcast.

You can watch it on Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. We talk about gen Z and what makes them weird. They're weird.

Habits plus athletes and boats never mix. We explain on over promised our bonus show. Interestingly enough, I think that Karate Kid movie would have been way more interesting if Johnny Lawrence.

Was in it.

Dude, you're gonna leave out William Zepka. Billy's app about Larusso's hot wife. She's not in it either. I mean, if they's hybrided, if they did a hybrid of the Jackie Chan and the Cobra Kai show, you're looking at something different.

They just want to separate it completely from Cobra Kai.

But they got just Machio, no offense. I like Machio, but just Macchio and Jackie Chan. He's a movie star. Oh but you love Cobra Kai. There's no one else from that shock. Well, if I had a choice between Mission Impossible, Leelo and Stitch and Karate Kid, I go see Karate Kid. Well you know what, Well, guess what Yeah, but.

That's good for him because he doesn't have to reserve a seat.

He could show up when the movie starts because no one is on his same page. I mean, no one cared about Cobra Kai either in the beginning, and then it could turned out to be one of the bigger shows. Well, I'm gonna go see Lee Loan Stitch during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals. But besides that Danny g our show Tonight Your Friends and Neighbors. The finale. John Hamm is the we'll see what happens to him. Don't want to give anything away, but that's that's today the finale. Mike Birbiglia a comic could we know that we've known for years back in the day.

He has a new special on Netflix and uh hey, that's really about it.

Watch the NBA Playoffs, enjoy and some good baseball all read it.

There you baby, see you in the Promised Land.

Right better guys, mm hm
