have the best podcast thanks to Danny J. Dnyg added
some up real nice makes us sound good, but we
also have our bonus podcast, Over Promised, which is on
Fox Sports Radios YouTube page. We had Sergeant Slaughter on
(01:48):
the show. We talked some old school WWF WWE SO
Wrestling Hall of Famers Sergeant Slaughter on Fox Sports Radio's
YouTube page. Dude, Sergeant Slaughter, and that's an order. He
he actually shared stories he said he's never told anyone
before did you know Sergeant Slaughter claims to have invented
music to come into the ring entrance music. I'm like,
(02:12):
for real, So that's actually something we're gonna get today
because I feel, like I said, he discovered the undertake.
I feel like the world of sports and entertainment is
going more and more showy, and I'm all for it.
But I'll explain something I think that's gonna happen in
the NBA fresh off a pretty sweet NBA night second game,
more of a surprising blowout, Like, Yo, these Tea Wolves
mean business, Danny G. You hit me up at that
meme where going into the postseason the tea Wolves, or
(02:36):
as Moncey calls him, the Wolves.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The Wolves, the Wolves.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He uh, Timberwolves, Yo, Isaac? Do you call him the
Timberwolves too? Do you pull the Manzi? No?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I love Moncey, but first I've ever heard the Timberwolves. No,
not the Timberwolves, Moncey. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, So you said going into the playoffs, plus eighteen
hundred in Vegas to go all the way, Yep, that number.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Has shrunk to plus three hundred. Insane. They think they're
gonna run the table. Well it looks that way.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Now, look, when you got the Timberwolves playing that big
against the defending champions. It goes back to something I
always say when it comes to fights, Styles makes fights, right,
Styles makes games. It's the matchups. Man, It's so cool
to see a great team look vulnerable. It's so great
to see competition at this level. Look Rich and I
(03:31):
are casual NBA fans, but we are glued to this
because we're seeing young stars playing big at the biggest moment.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's fun to watch styles make games.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And the Timberwolves got this figured out at least in
the moment, unless the Nuggets fix something or make some
sort of adjustment. In the most simplistic form though NBA Insider,
but the narrative was to stop the Nuggets, you need
to throw big men Jokic, and that's exactly what Minnesota
(04:02):
is doing. And Danny, don't think for a minute, I
didn't think, Well, the te Wolves are out to like
a fifteen to twenty point lead.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I've seen this before. They were gonna come back. I've
seen this before.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But the Tea Wolves didn't take the foot off the
guests like unfortunately the Lakers did, or you know, couldn't
keep it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well and besides the size that the Wolves have on
the bench, and they have a hell of a bench,
they're also more athletic than the Nuggets. And that's saying
a lot, because look how athletic the Nuggets looked against
the Lakers. So Covino's exactly right about the matchups. But
when you look at the star power of these youngsters,
like the twenty three year old Anthony Edwards, dude's shooting
(04:38):
over fifty percent and he's got a hell of a
jump shot. Usually that young there's lots of high flying
and duncan, but the SHOT's not there yet.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
This kid can shoot, playing big when it matters most.
And Rich and I have a theory that if you
watch a documentary, you're watching movie, and after that movie,
your documentary or biopick, especially, you're on Google looking things up,
you know it hit you good. Like if you watch
a story on Netflix or Hulu or whatever it is
(05:06):
and you go to Wikipedia just to find out more
about it, you know good and it got you.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It was a good movie.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
When you watch Anthony Edwards play, you're searching his stats,
you're doing the research. I'm checking his contract. I'm like,
when is he done? Where is he going. Tonto's first
thought was how long does he have with the Tea Wolves,
because there's gonna be big market teams that want to
snag him. But he's locked up for a while. He's
twenty three, and if you're in Minnesota, if he's locked
(05:33):
up till twenty twenty eight, you got some good couple
of years ahead of you. They were frustrating the hell
out of the Nuggets last time. I mean so mad,
people are throwing heating pads on the floor. Yeah, don't
be a sports baby like Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Okay to that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Really quick cove, I should point out he doesn't turn
twenty two and or twenty three, rather until August fifth.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Dude, that's insane. So yeah, so he's still twenty two.
Stop induces twenty two. It's insane. My good, I'm double
that guy.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
H that's wild to Also, why there's rumors that Lebron
is really his daddy.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And he could be my son. If I won't maybe
he can't be my son.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But that's why I was looking up his age and
his contract for yesterday. Little Danny G because he's been
so complimentary of avenging and defending Lebron's honor.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I was like, well, what are.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The chances of them teaming up in the future, because
what an honor would be for him? And that would
be a missing piece that Lebron would need to move
forward and get another championship. And I was like, well,
by that shows God he's got to be done and
Lebron's not going to Minnesota. He shows Lebron so much respect,
and I agree with Cavino. There was a sentiment of like,
he respects Lebron to the point where.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh what, what are both their contract situations.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That's why I was looking yesterday, but just playing so
big and again, styles make games. I know I'm stating
the obvious, but it's so apparent when you see how
they match up against the Nuggets. Because the Nuggets look
unbeatable against Danny G's Lakers, but now they look very vulnerable.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Now they look human.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Rich gave the analogy of when Ivan Drago started to
bleed when Rocky cut him, was like, w I fight
for me. Every cut him and He's like, he's human,
he's human. They're making the Nuggets look beatable.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, and he's got some MJ mannerisms. We've joked on
the show before. About how Michael Jordan might Papa need
a DNA test.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You are the father now, Cavino, you are the five.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The show was saying something interesting and I want to
take it to this angle for a second. Cavino, you
were saying, is there anything else in life that you
could just turn on your interest level? Because the w
not the WNBA, the NBA, the regular season, it's like
(07:48):
it's watchable but not must see TV.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Ever.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Really, it's amazing how we could go from casual viewers
of the NBA to fully invested with no team in
the race like this. I think that's a testament to
the NBA pushing their star power, you know, because we
know these players, so at least there's some sort of
connection or familiarity. We know them, we hear about them,
we see them on highlights all the time. And I
(08:13):
think there's something to be said about what Big Mike
runs's place.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
We were talking about it before the show.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's like I could watch some hockey playoffs, but I'm
not as invested as I am when I'm watching NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Is it because we played as kids? Is it because
you know, yeah, we picked up a basketball. We know
what it's like to shoot around. I never got on
ice skates in my life. I'm a Guido kid from
New Jersey. What do I know about hockey? Not a
whole lot. Yeah we got the Devils, Yeah we got
the Rangers and the Islanders. But I never played hockey,
never played in my life. Is there something about the
fact that you played it as a kid growing up
(08:47):
because or is it the star power of the NBA
that we relate to. I don't know, but Rich is
making the point we were talking about how I don't
know there anything else in life where I could go
from sort of into it to come completely into bedroom
activities I've always been in. You could be like sort
of tired. If wifey leans over and is like, hey,
(09:08):
you could go from I'm tired to like, yep, let's go.
That's like the NBA playoffs to me having sex with
my wife and the NBA playoffs same things.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Let me tweet that out on the official FSR account.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Quote that think about it, you're tired as hell after
I mean, Anthony.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Edwards gets me excited, Rich, but not that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But what I'm saying, if your wife gives you a girlfriend,
gives you a little nudge. When you're like half asleep,
you can wake up pretty quick. You go from groggy
to now, let's do this, ready to go. That's to me,
but it is the NBA playoffs. I can't say I
go from zero to sixty because I care about the NBA,
so you know, I don't know anything else that I
go from thirty to sixty as fast as I do
with the NBA, from like casual to like man, I
(09:47):
am so glued, like I can't wait for tonight to
watch the game. I almost, to be honest, I almost
feel guilty, like I'm a front runner, but I'm not
rooting for a particular team. I like a guy like
Danny g who watches every Lakers game must be like
this guy. I got another theory though again I said familiarity.
(10:08):
I said star power of the players. We're familiar with them.
But how about the fact that, I mean, clearly the
games mean that much more so you're seeing a whole
different level of intensity. But you're actually seeing teams play
defense too, defense, right, I mean that's a big part
of it. So you're sitting there as if you were
like damn, and that brings the excitement, like you can't
(10:30):
turn away.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, and even if your team loses in the first round.
The meme, the other meme I sent you guys this morning,
the picture of the guy beating on the other guy
and he's got a Wolve's logo over his face, and
one getting beat is the Denver Nuggets logo, and there's
a photographer just laying on the grass taking a picture
of the scene and the Lakers' logos over that guy.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Sonny.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Well, the reason we were talking about this too, just
a side conversation before the show, is one of our buddies,
Donnie Pompadou, who listens to our Patreon show. He's like,
how come you guy, they'll get fired up like this
over hockey. And it's like, well, I mean, I don't know.
I was trying to figure that out. I'm like, is
it demographics?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is it again?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
The fact that when you're watching NBA everybody's represented. I
don't know if it's just more worldwide in that aspect, right, Like,
I don't know, there's no Blacks, there's no Asians, there's
no Latinos in hockey. I don't know why there's a
bigger Reacher. Uh, there's a there's a few BLA A
few dude, Yeah, a handful. But I just feel like
the NBA, and you can say hockey is a global sport.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It is.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know what you're saying, and I can say I
could say this. I can say this because I'm Russian.
It sort of throws you off when you see all
these random dudes with names that have it seem like
they're lacking a few valves and you're like, who is
this guy? When you can't pronounce anyone on a roster's
name and you're not a big hockey guy, it's hard
to sort of casually watch. Well again, I'm stretching Rich
(11:51):
because I'm trying. I was really trying to think, well,
why is that? Is it because we played basketball's kids?
You never played hockey, never played hockey. I don't know,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna say no, it's the next
level of intensity, the games matter and star power.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's got the NBA.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's not that because those things exist in the NHL
as well. You're just not connecting intensity. What's more intense
than in Game seven to the NFL acting. You're not
connecting Danny g You're not connecting I always Sam, you
connect that much about it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I don't think so. Uh So there's a reason. And
I've tried, I was trying. I tried.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I've tuned in trying to figure that out. A lot
of different NHL playoff games. I try to watch the
Stanley Cup. It's it's just you're right, I'm not connected
to it. I didn't play it growing up.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So, Danny G please understand why I'm even bringing hockey
into this.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
No, I'm glad you did. Somebody else asked me about this.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
We get so much criticism because we're casual NBA fans, right,
but then we come here.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Like, dude, did you see that game last night? And
we're so pumped about it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It those people off like you guys don't get pumped
about hockey like that, even playoffs, And it's like, well,
look we watch I don't know. So I was just
trying to really die, dude, the last time you played
hockey was.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
No, it was Nintendo hockey.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We have to choose if you want the fat, slow guy,
the skinny fast guy, or the medium guy.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That was a great game, Hoey, what do you go?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Two medium guys, one skinny, one fat. I think that
was the Yeah, two medium one skinny, one fat.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah. So no, you're right.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's an interesting time on the sports calendar because once
the NFL Draft is completed, then most of the headlines
on TV and sports shows are NBA playoffs and and
it's weird because when we were all in NFL mode,
rarely would there be an NBA headline that took over everything.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Interestingly enough, the NFL is king, it's Lord, it's you know,
president dictator, and the NFL rules the sports world after that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Listen, I'm self aware.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'm a baseball guy, but I know that people don't
want to hear me talking about Petelanso all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I get a baseball just doesn't have the same.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's like when Richard make fun of me for talking
about Chuck la Tito that was his go to, Like
when it came to me talking about boxing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Nobody wants to hear about Chocolatito.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, BECAUSEKEIVI, you don't always be like, yo, there's we
do chocolate Tito Lopez.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm like, who cares? I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Listen, you don't think you don't think I have thoughts
about Brandon Nimo yesterday hitting a you know, a game
winner for the Mets. I just know most people like, yeah, Rich,
you can't Red Brandon Nemo. Baseball America's pastime takes a
backseat to the NBA right now. The NBA, you could say,
hockey has the same intensity. But there's something about the
NBA playoffs, the way it's packaged, the way the stars
(14:35):
step up, the way the coverage, whether it be Steven
Ay or Shack and Chuck, you know, like it's it's
just really good. Again, that's star power. Knowing you could say, like,
what about hockey. I don't know those guys the way
I know these household names in the world of the NBA.
I I do friends that are in New York and
(14:56):
they're tickled pink right now because they got the Knicks
and the Rangers, both sorte. You know, in a great
spot on it. If it gets you fired up, that's great, man.
So I'm not dissing on hockey again. That was the
question that was posted to me early, and I was
trying to really figure it out. And I'm not trying
to bring race into it. I'm just saying, maybe that's
what lacks appeal to some people.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I want to tell you why I could see that
being a possibility. But then soccer doesn't hit over here
in the States, and that represents Latinos, whites, blacks, Asians,
but we got American Football's got in the way of it.
But if you watch the NBA right now, we're watching
young players changing of the guard, Anthony Edwards, Donovan, Mitchell,
(15:35):
Brunting what he's doing in New York. People owe the
Knicks a I was wrong because when they got Brunts in,
people like laughed about it, like that's their big get.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He's slaying it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Tatum Sga maybe the most underrated guy in the Western Conference.
So right now you're seeing these young players emerge as
something really fun again. Also, basketball moves quick. It's two hours.
Maybe there's something, there's something we're forgetting. But yeah, there's
got to be a reason why NBA playoffs just pop.
And I just think it's so amazing to see these
young players again stepping up on the big stage. And
(16:11):
the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves making the Nuggets look like that
tell me the Nuggets didn't seem invincible, dude. They seemed
invincible and unbeatable because the Lakers had to play perfect
just to compete. Yeah, and then the Timberwolves shut him
down to what that was the lowest scoring they had
all year, eighty eighty one points.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I kept imagining our boss Scott watching too, because he
is a lifelong Timberwolves fan.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
He was probably smiling like mister Miyagi. He and other.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Wolves fans have gone through years in years of mediocre
teams and bad teams. So to finally have a team
do that to the champion, this would be a good
time for all of us to ask for a race.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Let me tell you I didn't want to text up
Boss and text them right. I did not want to
text him because I didn't want to jinx it because
I know Denver could come back. No, you didn't want
to be a cass, Scott, how about your tea Wolves
knowing that at any moment Denver could step it up.
But you know what, for Minnesota fans, not just our boss,
we got a lot of friends and listeners up in
the Minnesota area. We did a live broadcast in Minnesota
(17:15):
and we were shocked how many people showed up. So
I know we have a lot of friends in support
in Minnesota. Danladen showed up. They haven't Gary Guy Eddie
was there.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
They haven't.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Ken Hrbeck was there, we shared wings. It wasn't that
long ago. It seems like that team was dominating, But
it is eighty seven and ninety one, those two World
Series for the Twins. Besides that, there's been a hell
of a lot of sadness between the Vikings, the Tea Wolves,
the Twins just not really producing winter. So if you're
a Minnesota sports fan, enjoy this for as long as
(17:48):
you can. As Billy Madison one said, stay here.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You can.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And if anything, guys, what we want you to get
out of our excitement is if you're a casual NBA fan,
we'll be tuning in, but you gotta be tuning in
now because we're seeing these young players really step up
and it's exciting to see. And if you're already a
diehard day to day fan like Danny g meaning watching
every game all the time, then you know exactly what
(18:17):
we're talking about. But the other point is, I can't
think of many things. Rich gave one other example, and
that's bedroom activities that takes us from thirty to sixty
as fast as the NBA playoffs. You could be cruised
around and be like, well, I'm excited. The only other
thing besides the NBA Playoffs is like I said, when
the wife or your girlfriend gives you a nudge late
(18:37):
at night and you're very sleepy, and she seems like
it's go time. Oh yeah, and in case my girlfriend's
dad's listening. That was Rich's example, not my example.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, your daughter, your dory Len, Your daughter is dating
a dud. He is. He is the most prude laim
I've ever met.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So watching door, Lenn, He's watching Sports Center while your well,
your daughter's sleeping next door.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I'm watching Chuck Latito Gonzale highlights.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
So is there any other examples by the way that
you're so cavalier pun intended about you know, that gets
you excited out of nowhere the way the NBA Playoffs does.
Is there anything else you could You know, you care
about it casually, but then all of a sudden you
can turn it on and be so fully invested. Example,
(19:22):
I'm trying to think maybe if you're a casual golf
fan Master Master's Weekend, you're like, oh, locked in. There's
a lot of people like that with fighting too, Like, yeah,
I don't watch boxing, but if it was like a
big Tyson Fury Deontay Wilder fight or back in the
day at Tyson fight or Tyson Jake Paul coming up
in July. People are like, yeah, boxing's fixed whatever, its
rigged it, So who are these people? The judges suck,
(19:44):
it's fixed anyway, Boxing's corrupt. But then when there's a
big fight like Tyson, they're glued in like they're the
biggest fans of all time. And I understand it because
it brings that level of excitement. Our buddy Sean hit
us up listening on the iHeart app out here in
La So I think a lot of it has to
do with the little exposure hockey gets.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And maybe for good reason. He's a big hockey guy, knows, But.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Dude, if it got big exposure, then you know people
would be tuning people. People aren't tuning in on that
level for reasons, he's said, in basketball, you see it
all over social media. Social media and basketball have a
pretty good relationship.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's a listen point.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You go to TMZ Sports you as you always say,
you go to Boss Up.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
You go to all these websites. There's drama.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
NBA's got got people with burner accounts and craziness.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Name one hockey player like Stars. There was one.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Hockey story that was sallacious, and it was that guy
Conna Bedard whose mom might have been sleeping with one
of the other players. That's the only time we were like, oh,
there's a hockey story.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Great story. So I mean, like, that's that's the proof
in the uh, you know, hockey pudding.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And by the way, to make it clear, that doesn't
mean we don't watch the the big games in the
n each OL. Of course we do, dude, let me
tell you, but I'm telling you these NBA games are
bringing it. I went to my first you know, I've
been in LA for over five years now, and I
went to my first LA Kings game this year as
a hell of of fun. I had not been to
a West Coast hockey game. It was great at what
(21:04):
is it now, Crypto Staples.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What are they call it now?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, Staples and dude, it was a hell of the time.
I was right there by the glass. Fun to watch
a guy slamming against the glass right near you.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Rich put him on the glass, sir. I put my
cheeks on the glass. It was weird.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But no, it just I think hockey's missing something. I
don't know what it is. But hey, NBA, that's rich

not even kidding.

Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
They have his house in Toronto, I believe somewhere in Canada,
all taped up and everything.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
So I just talked about this yesterday. I know it's
getting crazy man to every mainstream source. I'll back up Cavino.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
He was saying, how you may not care, you may
not know, but this Drake Kendrick lemarthing could get dangerous.
And listen when it's a dish track and it's like
MGK and eminem and it's just you know, making fun
of each other. You're older, you're this, or you don't matter.
That's one thing when you're talking about someone's family making
crazy pedophile type accusations.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I destroy each other.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Line each other's career, and I was talking to Bow
about it in the hallway, you know, Master Bo.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, he jedister. He's a Jedi. Is that why he's
wearing that rope? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's more like a justin Timberlake beefing with Eminem sort
of situation because Drake's not really a rap guy, but
he's still bringing those bars and he's still bringing it back.
But man, it's getting dangerous anyway. Thank you for hanging
out with us, Covino and Rich Stay safe. We're live

city near you. We got shack Diesel trivia coming up
next hour. Some prizes take it away here today, but
lots to get to on the c and our show now,
So many random things we could get to. We talked
to NBA playoffs, so good. Well, I hope people understood
(27:01):
how the conversation came to be. And we're so pumped
about the NBA playoffs. We went from casual to pumped
overnight because the games are delivering and the stars are
stepping up and the matchups have been amazing to see.
Styles make games, Styles make games, styles make fights.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Oh, I got one one other.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I only brought hockey into it because I got a
little criticism today like, well, how come you don't get
pumped up like this about hockey playoffs?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
So I was really trying to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
But you know what, you also can't do it, and
I don't know, I can't fake the funk on a
nasty dunk.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
No, I mean, but you also can't criticize someone for
just having different interests. That's all.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, Well, I mean I want to stay it that
same guy. Do you get fired up when I'm talking about, uh,
the Ryan Garcia Devin Hainey fight?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Everybody has their own interests, and you have to ask yourself, well,
why everyone loves and hates different things? The most loved
people are also hated the most hated people are also loved.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It is how it is.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
That doesn't mean Rich and I are Anybody here hates hockey,
not at all. We'll watch the big games, We'll watch
the Stanley Final, but we don't get as fired up
about the playoffs as we do watching Look at Jamal
Murray crying like a little sports baby, throwing by the way,
throwing heat pads on the court.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Did you say Stanley Finals because Stanley Cup finals? Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
He said Stanley Finals, And I was like, cause I
got roper if we're gonna have Stanley Finals Stanley, but
I don't know who else.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Mike Stanley's got to be in the running.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, man, I don't know who else. Anyway, we'll do
that another day, NBA, NHL, enjoy your playoffs again, Eugene, Oregon.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Next week.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
We got I loo Isaac with an update in a second.
But I want to throw this out there. We're gonna
get to Walker Mueller in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Bmueller.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
He returned, Guy returned, Danny g you must be pumped.
He got someone on the staff back. Oh yeah, and
the offense is on fire, yo, your boy Otani. I
got to ask you because no offense Angels fans when
he was buried in Anaheim, you know, with not a
lot of press. Now he's down here in Los Angeles.
Is it fun watching him day in and day out.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It's so fun.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It's to the point where you almost kind of forget
fred the Great Freddy Freeman's on the team, by.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
The way, dude, it's It's such a great question, rich
because people who love sports the way we love sports understand,
but not everybody understands that. There's a difference between seeing
the highlights and knowing someone's a great player and then
watching them every day and watch the impact that they have.
And that's how I feel about Wan Soto. You know,
I wasn't that excited about Wan so too. I told
(29:28):
you you should be when you watch this guy day
in and day out, though, you see the excitement level
he brings, the way he plays, the way he plays big,
the way he's a difference maker in the games. There's
guys that can put up big numbers, but they're not
difference makers. Wan Soto every day is a difference maker.
So I can only imagine what it's like to watch
Otani on that level every day and be excited about it.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And I was listening to the game yesterday evening on
our LA affiliated AM five seventy LA Sports, and to
hear that crack off Otani's bat.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I feel like he has a microphone attack. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
You hear that a lot, obviously when you listen or
watch baseball, but it is twice as loud off Otani's bat.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's not that's not real audio. But we his bat yesterday?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Yeah, no, if we do, if we have time, let's
play that call from the home run yesterday.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It sounded crazy. Oh well, queue that up and we'll
go to I Loo. We'll get an update.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We'll talk a little Otani for a second, and then
I have a dumb observation about the NFL and astronauts.
I know you're curious. How is Rich going to tie
these together? You'll find they both wear helmets. No, but
a good one.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Uh Ilo, what's up? Buck? Well?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
We do have some fresh NFL news just breaking fellas
and there is now more potential legal trouble for Kansas
City Chiefs receiver Rashie Rice. W FAA television out of
Dallas reports that Rashie Rice is under police investigation for
allegedly hitting a photographer early Monday morning at a Dallas
(31:00):
area nightclub. Rice, of course, is presently facing eight felony
charges for his involvement in a car crash in Dallas
last month. The NBA League Office has confirmed that the
controversial offensive foul on Indiana's Miles Turner with twelve point
seven seconds left of the fourth quarter last night against
the Knicks was the correct call. The league report said
(31:22):
Turner quote turned into the defender's path and did not
give him time and distance to change direction prior to
the illegal contact unquote. And finally, People magazine reports that
Giselle Boonchin is deeply disappointed with the jokes made during
the roast of Tom Brady about their marriage. A source
(31:44):
told People that Boonchin was quote deeply disappointed by the
disrespectful portrayal of her family. Her priority is to support
her children, who were affected by the irresponsible content that
was broadcasted unquote. All yours fellas.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Wow, I love. We talked about this yesterday. You were here.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
We were curious whether or not Giselle watched her. One
of her friends was like, Chisel, You'll never believe. Apparently
she was in Brazil helping out with the natural there
was a lot of flooding going on. So here she
has been a do gooder in Brazil and she's getting
all this word.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Did you hear what they said about you? Friend? What
did it Ron Burgundy call her? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I mean, is it fair that outside people take the
shrapnel from Tom Brady's roast? She didn't ask for that.
I'm not saying I was offended. I'm just saying is
it fair? Because it seems that all fair game if
it's packaged in a dish track and a roast. Is
we established yesterday? But ever, keep in mind Covino, no
one made fun of her. All the jokes are at
(32:47):
Tom's expense. True, dude, what did they say about the
jiu jitsu guy and her and their bedroom activities?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
They didn't mention anything like that.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, but making stuff up, it was never I don't
think there was mean stuff that about Giselle. I think
it was all mocking, mocking Tom, like you know, she
left you essentially.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Yeah, I didn't think it crossed any line. You have
to have a sense of humor. But it's still what
they did. Fresh for a little bit by the host.
They didn't even talk about the kids I think it
was all.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Right, Danny. Uh yeah, But but for argument's sake, I
don't care. I thought it was great. Yeah, it doesn't
matter what Danny g thinks, matters what Gizelle thinks. That's
the children.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
But you know what, she's not in charge of entertainment
in the USA.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Let me tell you this, but she's a public figure.
I'm the league leader, not asking to be talked about
like this. You know how Atani's the league leader in
home runs.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
She's never entertained me.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
You know how Otani is leading the league at homers.
I lead the league and bringing up Cavino's divorce, yes,
I mean by by a mile, so let me bring
it up again. He's like the Nolan Ryan of it.
So Cavino is very respectful and because she's the mother,
not because I care about her, for me personally whatever,
(34:04):
that's tough to look back on.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
But she's still the mother of my kid.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
No, but I'm saying some people are overly respectful and
borderline walk on eggshells where other people get divorced, and
like that's my ex f them. And I think Tom
is listen, when you have the money that Giselle and
Tom have you could be bitter. Why do most people
fight after a divorce, money, custody, all the things that
regular people fight about. They don't fight about those regular things.
(34:29):
So I think Tom's sort of like, whatever, what are
you gonna do to me? I'm Tom Brady think of
it that way.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Well, again, that was the story, Thank you, Loan cron.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well, let's hear the crack of Otani's bat and then
I'll tell you why the NFL and astronauts are involved
in the same story.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I have here. Uh hit it. I was Sam to
two pitch, Now to Otani. He swings and hammers a
deep center.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Failed way back in the tie in show.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Hey, old Tony putting on a show early in the ballgame.
He's he eleven home run the lead major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
It is two to two in his zone for sure.
Man nice, that was pretty majestic. Someone said, you know
who was? It was Master Bo the You know, yeah,
he's a Jedi now he got his master's degree. Yeah, Bo,
one of the editors here. He put on his Instagram stories.
See Bow, I look at your Instagram story, he said.
(35:30):
Dodger fans are starting to love this, like when Otani
hits a home run. That swing, it's like it there's
like a cute little skip involved in it because he's
got that swing that a lot of Japanese players have.
So with that power swing, he almost has a little skip.
Do you notice the skip?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Watch it? I like when he does it, When you
do it, it bothers me. Not good? All right? You know
what coming up?
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I'm gonna tell you about the NFL Draft and astronauts.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You're like, what the hell is idiot talking about? It'll
make sense.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I promise we'll get to that, plus some shack Diesel trivia,
a lot of fun. Kevin on Rich and don't forget.
Next Friday, the seventeenth of May, we will be at
the Graduate Hotel in Eugene, Oregon. So get ready, come hang.
A reminder will remind you every hour Next Friday, we'll
(36:19):
be back in the second convin On Retch right here
on Fox Sports Radio Live from the ti rack dot
Com studio. Hey, welcome back to the show Covino and

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Did Iowa Sam break out his old jock JAMCD?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
He plugged in his old Discman nice the olegamegabass Anti
skip any want to have that crappy yellow discman back
of the day.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I remember it. I didn't have that one.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Did you ever take your stereo out of your car
with you always? I feel like Danny G must have
had the most booming system. Yeah, the detachable face. You
would definitely a guy that had a woof for in
the trump so nice. It wasn't detachable. It flipped around
and made it look like nothing was there.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh yeah, that's nice. It was worth more than my
car at the time that.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Danny G super produced in At eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, Iowa Saam on the ones and twos
and we got to talk the commonality between astronauts and
football players. Will explain plus shack Diesel trivia coming up
next to hour. I'm pretty sure Isaac still has an
eight track player in his.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Car, right That a doubt the worst thing I actually had,
And I'm ashamed I used to have the club. Remember
the club?
Speaker 2 (37:39):
My dad was the last guy to own one. I
think my dad. My dad was one of those guys.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Finally, my dad I had one, woke up and I'm like, Dad,
you were retired, you had a great career, you had
a good life. Buy yourself a new car. My dad
finally got himself a nice new car. But my dad
had like a crappy old Saturn that to this day.
But it wasn't crappy. I'm like, Dad, it was a
Saturn and he put a club on it, and I
would always be like, da, I promise no one wants it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
The same with my Corolla.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
I'm embarrassed to admit I might have still had it
on when I began courting my wife, which is not
exactly a smooth operator move.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Having a club still worked out.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Took her out on, you took her out on a
first date, and you're like, honey, hold on.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, I don't remember.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Off to follow up on that.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I saw a club in a on a steering wheel,
like a month ago. Someone was still using it. Wow,
people had it.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I was saying, you're a bit younger than us, But
there was a time where people had the club.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
It was a thing. I had one, for sure. It
was a big part of the movie Swingers.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, but not only for my card protection, but for
my own protection just in.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Case whack someone. Yeah, that's protection. You see something heavy, Billy.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Anyway, we're live from the tire rack dot Com studio again,
Covino and Rich At Covino and Rich who want to
play a long at home?
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Now? Rich? Yes, buddy, did you even realize? You know?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
There was a trip to outer space scheduled for this week?
I got it right here. Yeah, yesterday. Now got delayed
until no earlier than Friday, but yeah, scrubbed astronauts. Butch
Wilmore and Sonny Williams were strapped into their seats when
they heard an audible buzzing from a liquid oxygen relief valve.
(39:15):
So they're like, oh, you know what, maybe we should
for safety reasons postpone this launch.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yeah, probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
But I bring this up because that's the buzzer they heard,
Ramos's old buzzer. We're talking to Big Mic, you know,
the guy that runs his place, Mike, and he's like,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Know about you guys know about the astronaut launch.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
And it's wild to think that if you grew up
in the eighties, sadly before the Challenger exploded, which was
such a big part of our childhood. If you're roughly
forty s you might remember the TV being wheeled in
by your teacher and that said day when you watch
the Challenger explode. We were all into outer space and
(40:01):
the moon and astronauts like it was a big part
of us culture. Then all of a sudden, long before
Christy mccauliffe and the Challenge, dude.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
The Space Race. It was a thing, right.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah, The Space Race had our grandparents closing shops, like
they put the clothes sign in all businesses. The world stopped,
and everybody sat in front of televisions.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
And it's wild to think that we went from everyone
caring so much to I could guarantee very few people
listening right now even knew we were shooting astronauts into
outer space yesterday, let alone that it was canceled. Let
alone it was canceled. Is there anything else that you
(40:43):
could think of that we used to care so much
about and don't care about at all? And I bring
up the NFL Draft because just the other day we
talked about how the NFL Draft is the complete opposite.
It was a bunch of old guy smoking in conference
rooms with you know Beije phones. No one cared NFL Draft.
(41:03):
The Bears have their pick. No one cared about the draft. Yeah,
the draft went from from nothing to something? Is there
anything else that went from something to nothing? The way
space travel has become in our world, Like we're so
whole hum about it. Like there's no video of Tom
Brady walking up to a stage and getting his jersey.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, he was a late he was sitting at home Spotsida.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
But the NFL Draft only, I mean, in our lifetime
people started walking up to the stage, right, I mean
that's the truth.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
What are other things that we don't care about anymore
that we used to make a big fuss about. We'll
do it next right here on CNR

Wrestling Hall of Famers Sergeant Slaughter on Fox Sports Radio's

the NBA fresh off a pretty sweet NBA night second game,
more of a surprising blowout, Like, Yo, these Tea Wolves
mean business, Danny G. You hit me up at that
meme where going into the postseason the tea Wolves, or
(02:36):
as Moncey calls him, the Wolves.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
The Wolves, the Wolves.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
He uh, Timberwolves, Yo, Isaac? Do you call him the
Timberwolves too? Do you pull the Manzi? No?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I love Moncey, but first I've ever heard the Timberwolves. No,
not the Timberwolves, Moncey. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yeah, So you said going into the playoffs, plus eighteen
hundred in Vegas to go all the way, Yep, that number.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Has shrunk to plus three hundred. Insane. They think they're
gonna run the table. Well it looks that way.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Now, look, when you got the Timberwolves playing that big
against the defending champions. It goes back to something I
always say when it comes to fights, Styles makes fights, right,
Styles makes games. It's the matchups. Man, It's so cool
to see a great team look vulnerable. It's so great
to see competition at this level. Look Rich and I
(03:31):
are casual NBA fans, but we are glued to this
because we're seeing young stars playing big at the biggest moment.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
It's fun to watch styles make games.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
And the Timberwolves got this figured out at least in
the moment, unless the Nuggets fix something or make some
sort of adjustment. In the most simplistic form though NBA Insider,
but the narrative was to stop the Nuggets, you need
to throw big men Jokic, and that's exactly what Minnesota
(04:02):
is doing. And Danny, don't think for a minute, I
didn't think, Well, the te Wolves are out to like
a fifteen to twenty point lead.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
I've seen this before. They were gonna come back. I've
seen this before.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
But the Tea Wolves didn't take the foot off the
guests like unfortunately the Lakers did, or you know, couldn't
keep it.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
Well and besides the size that the Wolves have on
the bench, and they have a hell of a bench,
they're also more athletic than the Nuggets. And that's saying
a lot, because look how athletic the Nuggets looked against
the Lakers. So Covino's exactly right about the matchups. But
when you look at the star power of these youngsters,
like the twenty three year old Anthony Edwards, dude's shooting
(04:38):
over fifty percent and he's got a hell of a
jump shot. Usually that young there's lots of high flying
and duncan, but the SHOT's not there yet.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
This kid can shoot, playing big when it matters most.
And Rich and I have a theory that if you
watch a documentary, you're watching movie, and after that movie,
your documentary or biopick, especially, you're on Google looking things up,
you know it hit you good. Like if you watch
a story on Netflix or Hulu or whatever it is
(05:06):
and you go to Wikipedia just to find out more
about it, you know good and it got you.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It was a good movie.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
When you watch Anthony Edwards play, you're searching his stats,
you're doing the research. I'm checking his contract. I'm like,
when is he done? Where is he going. Tonto's first
thought was how long does he have with the Tea Wolves,
because there's gonna be big market teams that want to
snag him. But he's locked up for a while. He's
twenty three, and if you're in Minnesota, if he's locked
(05:33):
up till twenty twenty eight, you got some good couple
of years ahead of you. They were frustrating the hell
out of the Nuggets last time. I mean so mad,
people are throwing heating pads on the floor. Yeah, don't
be a sports baby like Jamal Murray.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Okay to that.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Really quick cove, I should point out he doesn't turn
twenty two and or twenty three, rather until August fifth.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Dude, that's insane. So yeah, so he's still twenty two.
Stop induces twenty two. It's insane. My good, I'm double
that guy.
Speaker 3 (06:00):
H that's wild to Also, why there's rumors that Lebron
is really his daddy.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And he could be my son. If I won't maybe
he can't be my son.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
But that's why I was looking up his age and
his contract for yesterday. Little Danny G because he's been
so complimentary of avenging and defending Lebron's honor.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I was like, well, what are.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
The chances of them teaming up in the future, because
what an honor would be for him? And that would
be a missing piece that Lebron would need to move
forward and get another championship. And I was like, well,
by that shows God he's got to be done and
Lebron's not going to Minnesota. He shows Lebron so much respect,
and I agree with Cavino. There was a sentiment of like,
he respects Lebron to the point where.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Oh what, what are both their contract situations.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
That's why I was looking yesterday, but just playing so
big and again, styles make games. I know I'm stating
the obvious, but it's so apparent when you see how
they match up against the Nuggets. Because the Nuggets look
unbeatable against Danny G's Lakers, but now they look very vulnerable.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Now they look human.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Rich gave the analogy of when Ivan Drago started to
bleed when Rocky cut him, was like, w I fight
for me. Every cut him and He's like, he's human,
he's human. They're making the Nuggets look beatable.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
Yeah, and he's got some MJ mannerisms. We've joked on
the show before. About how Michael Jordan might Papa need
a DNA test.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
You are the father now, Cavino, you are the five.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
The show was saying something interesting and I want to
take it to this angle for a second. Cavino, you
were saying, is there anything else in life that you
could just turn on your interest level? Because the w
not the WNBA, the NBA, the regular season, it's like
(07:48):
it's watchable but not must see TV.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Ever.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Really, it's amazing how we could go from casual viewers
of the NBA to fully invested with no team in
the race like this. I think that's a testament to
the NBA pushing their star power, you know, because we
know these players, so at least there's some sort of
connection or familiarity. We know them, we hear about them,
we see them on highlights all the time. And I
(08:13):
think there's something to be said about what Big Mike
runs's place.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
We were talking about it before the show.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
It's like I could watch some hockey playoffs, but I'm
not as invested as I am when I'm watching NBA playoffs.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Is it because we played as kids? Is it because
you know, yeah, we picked up a basketball. We know
what it's like to shoot around. I never got on
ice skates in my life. I'm a Guido kid from
New Jersey. What do I know about hockey? Not a
whole lot. Yeah we got the Devils, Yeah we got
the Rangers and the Islanders. But I never played hockey,
never played in my life. Is there something about the
fact that you played it as a kid growing up
(08:47):
because or is it the star power of the NBA
that we relate to. I don't know, but Rich is
making the point we were talking about how I don't
know there anything else in life where I could go
from sort of into it to come completely into bedroom
activities I've always been in. You could be like sort
of tired. If wifey leans over and is like, hey,
(09:08):
you could go from I'm tired to like, yep, let's go.
That's like the NBA playoffs to me having sex with
my wife and the NBA playoffs same things.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Let me tweet that out on the official FSR account.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Quote that think about it, you're tired as hell after
I mean, Anthony.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Edwards gets me excited, Rich, but not that.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
But what I'm saying, if your wife gives you a girlfriend,
gives you a little nudge. When you're like half asleep,
you can wake up pretty quick. You go from groggy
to now, let's do this, ready to go. That's to me,
but it is the NBA playoffs. I can't say I
go from zero to sixty because I care about the NBA,
so you know, I don't know anything else that I
go from thirty to sixty as fast as I do
with the NBA, from like casual to like man, I
(09:47):
am so glued, like I can't wait for tonight to
watch the game. I almost, to be honest, I almost
feel guilty, like I'm a front runner, but I'm not
rooting for a particular team. I like a guy like
Danny g who watches every Lakers game must be like
this guy. I got another theory though again I said familiarity.
(10:08):
I said star power of the players. We're familiar with them.
But how about the fact that, I mean, clearly the
games mean that much more so you're seeing a whole
different level of intensity. But you're actually seeing teams play
defense too, defense, right, I mean that's a big part
of it. So you're sitting there as if you were
like damn, and that brings the excitement, like you can't
(10:30):
turn away.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, and even if your team loses in the first round.
The meme, the other meme I sent you guys this morning,
the picture of the guy beating on the other guy
and he's got a Wolve's logo over his face, and
one getting beat is the Denver Nuggets logo, and there's
a photographer just laying on the grass taking a picture
of the scene and the Lakers' logos over that guy.
Speaker 2 (10:51):
Sonny.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Well, the reason we were talking about this too, just
a side conversation before the show, is one of our buddies,
Donnie Pompadou, who listens to our Patreon show. He's like,
how come you guy, they'll get fired up like this
over hockey. And it's like, well, I mean, I don't know.
I was trying to figure that out. I'm like, is
it demographics?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Is it again?
Speaker 1 (11:10):
The fact that when you're watching NBA everybody's represented. I
don't know if it's just more worldwide in that aspect, right, Like,
I don't know, there's no Blacks, there's no Asians, there's
no Latinos in hockey. I don't know why there's a
bigger Reacher. Uh, there's a there's a few BLA A
few dude, Yeah, a handful. But I just feel like
the NBA, and you can say hockey is a global sport.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
It is.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I know what you're saying, and I can say I
could say this. I can say this because I'm Russian.
It sort of throws you off when you see all
these random dudes with names that have it seem like
they're lacking a few valves and you're like, who is
this guy? When you can't pronounce anyone on a roster's
name and you're not a big hockey guy, it's hard
to sort of casually watch. Well again, I'm stretching Rich
(11:51):
because I'm trying. I was really trying to think, well,
why is that? Is it because we played basketball's kids?
You never played hockey, never played hockey. I don't know,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna say no, it's the next
level of intensity, the games matter and star power.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
It's got the NBA.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
It's not that because those things exist in the NHL
as well. You're just not connecting intensity. What's more intense
than in Game seven to the NFL acting. You're not
connecting Danny g You're not connecting I always Sam, you
connect that much about it.
Speaker 2 (12:19):
I don't think so. Uh So there's a reason. And
I've tried, I was trying. I tried.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I've tuned in trying to figure that out. A lot
of different NHL playoff games. I try to watch the
Stanley Cup. It's it's just you're right, I'm not connected
to it. I didn't play it growing up.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
So, Danny G please understand why I'm even bringing hockey
into this.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
No, I'm glad you did. Somebody else asked me about this.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
We get so much criticism because we're casual NBA fans, right,
but then we come here.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Like, dude, did you see that game last night? And
we're so pumped about it.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It those people off like you guys don't get pumped
about hockey like that, even playoffs, And it's like, well,
look we watch I don't know. So I was just
trying to really die, dude, the last time you played
hockey was.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
No, it was Nintendo hockey.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
We have to choose if you want the fat, slow guy,
the skinny fast guy, or the medium guy.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
That was a great game, Hoey, what do you go?
Speaker 1 (13:13):
Two medium guys, one skinny, one fat. I think that
was the Yeah, two medium one skinny, one fat.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
Yeah. So no, you're right.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
It's an interesting time on the sports calendar because once
the NFL Draft is completed, then most of the headlines
on TV and sports shows are NBA playoffs and and
it's weird because when we were all in NFL mode,
rarely would there be an NBA headline that took over everything.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
Interestingly enough, the NFL is king, it's Lord, it's you know,
president dictator, and the NFL rules the sports world after that.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Listen, I'm self aware.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'm a baseball guy, but I know that people don't
want to hear me talking about Petelanso all the time.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I get a baseball just doesn't have the same.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
It's like when Richard make fun of me for talking
about Chuck la Tito that was his go to, Like
when it came to me talking about boxing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Nobody wants to hear about Chocolatito.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
Yeah, BECAUSEKEIVI, you don't always be like, yo, there's we
do chocolate Tito Lopez.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
I'm like, who cares? I get it.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
Listen, you don't think you don't think I have thoughts
about Brandon Nimo yesterday hitting a you know, a game
winner for the Mets. I just know most people like, yeah, Rich,
you can't Red Brandon Nemo. Baseball America's pastime takes a
backseat to the NBA right now. The NBA, you could say,
hockey has the same intensity. But there's something about the
NBA playoffs, the way it's packaged, the way the stars
(14:35):
step up, the way the coverage, whether it be Steven
Ay or Shack and Chuck, you know, like it's it's
just really good. Again, that's star power. Knowing you could say, like,
what about hockey. I don't know those guys the way
I know these household names in the world of the NBA.
I I do friends that are in New York and
(14:56):
they're tickled pink right now because they got the Knicks
and the Rangers, both sorte. You know, in a great
spot on it. If it gets you fired up, that's great, man.
So I'm not dissing on hockey again. That was the
question that was posted to me early, and I was
trying to really figure it out. And I'm not trying
to bring race into it. I'm just saying, maybe that's
what lacks appeal to some people.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
I want to tell you why I could see that
being a possibility. But then soccer doesn't hit over here
in the States, and that represents Latinos, whites, blacks, Asians,
but we got American Football's got in the way of it.
But if you watch the NBA right now, we're watching
young players changing of the guard, Anthony Edwards, Donovan, Mitchell,
(15:35):
Brunting what he's doing in New York. People owe the
Knicks a I was wrong because when they got Brunts in,
people like laughed about it, like that's their big get.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
He's slaying it.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Tatum Sga maybe the most underrated guy in the Western Conference.
So right now you're seeing these young players emerge as
something really fun again. Also, basketball moves quick. It's two hours.
Maybe there's something, there's something we're forgetting. But yeah, there's
got to be a reason why NBA playoffs just pop.
And I just think it's so amazing to see these
young players again stepping up on the big stage. And
(16:11):
the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves making the Nuggets look like that
tell me the Nuggets didn't seem invincible, dude. They seemed
invincible and unbeatable because the Lakers had to play perfect
just to compete. Yeah, and then the Timberwolves shut him
down to what that was the lowest scoring they had
all year, eighty eighty one points.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I kept imagining our boss Scott watching too, because he
is a lifelong Timberwolves fan.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
He was probably smiling like mister Miyagi. He and other.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
Wolves fans have gone through years in years of mediocre
teams and bad teams. So to finally have a team
do that to the champion, this would be a good
time for all of us to ask for a race.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Let me tell you I didn't want to text up
Boss and text them right. I did not want to
text him because I didn't want to jinx it because
I know Denver could come back. No, you didn't want
to be a cass, Scott, how about your tea Wolves
knowing that at any moment Denver could step it up.
But you know what, for Minnesota fans, not just our boss,
we got a lot of friends and listeners up in
the Minnesota area. We did a live broadcast in Minnesota
(17:15):
and we were shocked how many people showed up. So
I know we have a lot of friends in support
in Minnesota. Danladen showed up. They haven't Gary Guy Eddie
was there.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
They haven't.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
Ken Hrbeck was there, we shared wings. It wasn't that
long ago. It seems like that team was dominating, But
it is eighty seven and ninety one, those two World
Series for the Twins. Besides that, there's been a hell
of a lot of sadness between the Vikings, the Tea Wolves,
the Twins just not really producing winter. So if you're
a Minnesota sports fan, enjoy this for as long as
(17:48):
you can. As Billy Madison one said, stay here.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
You can.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
And if anything, guys, what we want you to get
out of our excitement is if you're a casual NBA fan,
we'll be tuning in, but you gotta be tuning in
now because we're seeing these young players really step up
and it's exciting to see. And if you're already a
diehard day to day fan like Danny g meaning watching
every game all the time, then you know exactly what
(18:17):
we're talking about. But the other point is, I can't
think of many things. Rich gave one other example, and
that's bedroom activities that takes us from thirty to sixty
as fast as the NBA playoffs. You could be cruised
around and be like, well, I'm excited. The only other
thing besides the NBA Playoffs is like I said, when
the wife or your girlfriend gives you a nudge late
(18:37):
at night and you're very sleepy, and she seems like
it's go time. Oh yeah, and in case my girlfriend's
dad's listening. That was Rich's example, not my example.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Yeah, your daughter, your dory Len, Your daughter is dating
a dud. He is. He is the most prude laim
I've ever met.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
So watching door, Lenn, He's watching Sports Center while your well,
your daughter's sleeping next door.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
I'm watching Chuck Latito Gonzale highlights.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
So is there any other examples by the way that
you're so cavalier pun intended about you know, that gets
you excited out of nowhere the way the NBA Playoffs does.
Is there anything else you could You know, you care
about it casually, but then all of a sudden you
can turn it on and be so fully invested. Example,
(19:22):
I'm trying to think maybe if you're a casual golf
fan Master Master's Weekend, you're like, oh, locked in. There's
a lot of people like that with fighting too, Like, yeah,
I don't watch boxing, but if it was like a
big Tyson Fury Deontay Wilder fight or back in the
day at Tyson fight or Tyson Jake Paul coming up
in July. People are like, yeah, boxing's fixed whatever, its
rigged it, So who are these people? The judges suck,
(19:44):
it's fixed anyway, Boxing's corrupt. But then when there's a
big fight like Tyson, they're glued in like they're the
biggest fans of all time. And I understand it because
it brings that level of excitement. Our buddy Sean hit
us up listening on the iHeart app out here in
La So I think a lot of it has to
do with the little exposure hockey gets.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
And maybe for good reason. He's a big hockey guy, knows, But.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Dude, if it got big exposure, then you know people
would be tuning people. People aren't tuning in on that
level for reasons, he's said, in basketball, you see it
all over social media. Social media and basketball have a
pretty good relationship.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
That's a listen point.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
You go to TMZ Sports you as you always say,
you go to Boss Up.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
You go to all these websites. There's drama.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
NBA's got got people with burner accounts and craziness.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Name one hockey player like Stars. There was one.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Hockey story that was sallacious, and it was that guy
Conna Bedard whose mom might have been sleeping with one
of the other players. That's the only time we were like, oh,
there's a hockey story.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Great story. So I mean, like, that's that's the proof
in the uh, you know, hockey pudding.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
And by the way, to make it clear, that doesn't
mean we don't watch the the big games in the
n each OL. Of course we do, dude, let me
tell you, but I'm telling you these NBA games are
bringing it. I went to my first you know, I've
been in LA for over five years now, and I
went to my first LA Kings game this year as
a hell of of fun. I had not been to
a West Coast hockey game. It was great at what
(21:04):
is it now, Crypto Staples.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
What are they call it now?
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, Staples and dude, it was a hell of the time.
I was right there by the glass. Fun to watch
a guy slamming against the glass right near you.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
Rich put him on the glass, sir. I put my
cheeks on the glass. It was weird.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
But no, it just I think hockey's missing something. I
don't know what it is. But hey, NBA, that's rich
to really figure it out. All right, Well, hey, coming up,
we got a lot to get through. We're going to
talk about things in sports, that and life also that
you used to care a lot about and now you
care very little about. I have a theory about showmanship
(21:43):
in sports and how we're gonna take this to the
next level.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (21:47):
I think I think we're only seeing the beginning of
fireworks and celebrations and light shows. I think it's only
going to get more and more intent. So we'll get
to that. There's a story about Walker Buehler on the Dodgers,
So a lot to get to. Plus Shack Diesel trivia.

of each other. You're older, you're this, or you don't matter.
That's one thing when you're talking about someone's family making
crazy pedophile type accusations.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
I destroy each other.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Line each other's career, and I was talking to Bow
about it in the hallway, you know, Master Bo.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, he jedister. He's a Jedi. Is that why he's
wearing that rope? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
It's more like a justin Timberlake beefing with Eminem sort
of situation because Drake's not really a rap guy, but
he's still bringing those bars and he's still bringing it back.
But man, it's getting dangerous anyway. Thank you for hanging

city near you. We got shack Diesel trivia coming up
next hour. Some prizes take it away here today, but
lots to get to on the c and our show now,
So many random things we could get to. We talked
to NBA playoffs, so good. Well, I hope people understood
(27:01):
how the conversation came to be. And we're so pumped
about the NBA playoffs. We went from casual to pumped
overnight because the games are delivering and the stars are
stepping up and the matchups have been amazing to see.
Styles make games, Styles make games, styles make fights.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
Oh, I got one one other.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I only brought hockey into it because I got a
little criticism today like, well, how come you don't get
pumped up like this about hockey playoffs?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
So I was really trying to figure that out.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
But you know what, you also can't do it, and
I don't know, I can't fake the funk on a
nasty dunk.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
No, I mean, but you also can't criticize someone for
just having different interests. That's all.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yeah, Well, I mean I want to stay it that
same guy. Do you get fired up when I'm talking about, uh,
the Ryan Garcia Devin Hainey fight?
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Maybe not.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Everybody has their own interests, and you have to ask yourself, well,
why everyone loves and hates different things? The most loved
people are also hated the most hated people are also loved.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
It is how it is.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
That doesn't mean Rich and I are Anybody here hates hockey,
not at all. We'll watch the big games, We'll watch
the Stanley Final, but we don't get as fired up
about the playoffs as we do watching Look at Jamal
Murray crying like a little sports baby, throwing by the way,
throwing heat pads on the court.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Did you say Stanley Finals because Stanley Cup finals? Oh?
Speaker 1 (28:13):
He said Stanley Finals, And I was like, cause I
got roper if we're gonna have Stanley Finals Stanley, but
I don't know who else.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Mike Stanley's got to be in the running.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
Yeah, man, I don't know who else. Anyway, we'll do
that another day, NBA, NHL, enjoy your playoffs again, Eugene, Oregon.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Next week.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
We got I loo Isaac with an update in a second.
But I want to throw this out there. We're gonna
get to Walker Mueller in a few minutes.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Bmueller.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
He returned, Guy returned, Danny g you must be pumped.
He got someone on the staff back. Oh yeah, and
the offense is on fire, yo, your boy Otani. I
got to ask you because no offense Angels fans when
he was buried in Anaheim, you know, with not a
lot of press. Now he's down here in Los Angeles.
Is it fun watching him day in and day out.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
It's so fun.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
It's to the point where you almost kind of forget
fred the Great Freddy Freeman's on the team, by.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
The way, dude, it's It's such a great question, rich
because people who love sports the way we love sports understand,
but not everybody understands that. There's a difference between seeing
the highlights and knowing someone's a great player and then
watching them every day and watch the impact that they have.
And that's how I feel about Wan Soto. You know,
I wasn't that excited about Wan so too. I told
(29:28):
you you should be when you watch this guy day
in and day out, though, you see the excitement level
he brings, the way he plays, the way he plays big,
the way he's a difference maker in the games. There's
guys that can put up big numbers, but they're not
difference makers. Wan Soto every day is a difference maker.
So I can only imagine what it's like to watch
Otani on that level every day and be excited about it.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
And I was listening to the game yesterday evening on
our LA affiliated AM five seventy LA Sports, and to
hear that crack off Otani's bat.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
I feel like he has a microphone attack. It's weird.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
You hear that a lot, obviously when you listen or
watch baseball, but it is twice as loud off Otani's bat.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
That's not that's not real audio. But we his bat yesterday?
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Yeah, no, if we do, if we have time, let's
play that call from the home run yesterday.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
It sounded crazy. Oh well, queue that up and we'll
go to I Loo. We'll get an update.
Speaker 1 (30:24):
We'll talk a little Otani for a second, and then
I have a dumb observation about the NFL and astronauts.
I know you're curious. How is Rich going to tie
these together? You'll find they both wear helmets. No, but
a good one.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
Uh Ilo, what's up? Buck? Well?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
We do have some fresh NFL news just breaking fellas
and there is now more potential legal trouble for Kansas
City Chiefs receiver Rashie Rice. W FAA television out of
Dallas reports that Rashie Rice is under police investigation for
allegedly hitting a photographer early Monday morning at a Dallas
(31:00):
area nightclub. Rice, of course, is presently facing eight felony
charges for his involvement in a car crash in Dallas
last month. The NBA League Office has confirmed that the
controversial offensive foul on Indiana's Miles Turner with twelve point
seven seconds left of the fourth quarter last night against
the Knicks was the correct call. The league report said
(31:22):
Turner quote turned into the defender's path and did not
give him time and distance to change direction prior to
the illegal contact unquote. And finally, People magazine reports that
Giselle Boonchin is deeply disappointed with the jokes made during
the roast of Tom Brady about their marriage. A source
(31:44):
told People that Boonchin was quote deeply disappointed by the
disrespectful portrayal of her family. Her priority is to support
her children, who were affected by the irresponsible content that
was broadcasted unquote. All yours fellas.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Wow, I love. We talked about this yesterday. You were here.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
We were curious whether or not Giselle watched her. One
of her friends was like, Chisel, You'll never believe. Apparently
she was in Brazil helping out with the natural there
was a lot of flooding going on. So here she
has been a do gooder in Brazil and she's getting
all this word.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
Did you hear what they said about you? Friend? What
did it Ron Burgundy call her? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I mean, is it fair that outside people take the
shrapnel from Tom Brady's roast? She didn't ask for that.
I'm not saying I was offended. I'm just saying is
it fair? Because it seems that all fair game if
it's packaged in a dish track and a roast. Is
we established yesterday? But ever, keep in mind Covino, no
one made fun of her. All the jokes are at
(32:47):
Tom's expense. True, dude, what did they say about the
jiu jitsu guy and her and their bedroom activities?
Speaker 2 (32:55):
They didn't mention anything like that.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Yeah, but making stuff up, it was never I don't
think there was mean stuff that about Giselle. I think
it was all mocking, mocking Tom, like you know, she
left you essentially.
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Yeah, I didn't think it crossed any line. You have
to have a sense of humor. But it's still what
they did. Fresh for a little bit by the host.
They didn't even talk about the kids I think it
was all.
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Right, Danny. Uh yeah, But but for argument's sake, I
don't care. I thought it was great. Yeah, it doesn't
matter what Danny g thinks, matters what Gizelle thinks. That's
the children.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
But you know what, she's not in charge of entertainment
in the USA.
Speaker 1 (33:32):
Let me tell you this, but she's a public figure.
I'm the league leader, not asking to be talked about
like this. You know how Atani's the league leader in
home runs.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
She's never entertained me.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
You know how Otani is leading the league at homers.
I lead the league and bringing up Cavino's divorce, yes,
I mean by by a mile, so let me bring
it up again. He's like the Nolan Ryan of it.
So Cavino is very respectful and because she's the mother,
not because I care about her, for me personally whatever,
(34:04):
that's tough to look back on.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
But she's still the mother of my kid.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
No, but I'm saying some people are overly respectful and
borderline walk on eggshells where other people get divorced, and
like that's my ex f them. And I think Tom
is listen, when you have the money that Giselle and
Tom have you could be bitter. Why do most people
fight after a divorce, money, custody, all the things that
regular people fight about. They don't fight about those regular things.
(34:29):
So I think Tom's sort of like, whatever, what are
you gonna do to me? I'm Tom Brady think of
it that way.
Speaker 2 (34:37):
Well, again, that was the story, Thank you, Loan cron.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
Well, let's hear the crack of Otani's bat and then
I'll tell you why the NFL and astronauts are involved
in the same story.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
I have here. Uh hit it. I was Sam to
two pitch, Now to Otani. He swings and hammers a
deep center.
Speaker 1 (34:55):
Failed way back in the tie in show.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
Hey, old Tony putting on a show early in the ballgame.
He's he eleven home run the lead major League Baseball.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
It is two to two in his zone for sure.
Man nice, that was pretty majestic. Someone said, you know
who was? It was Master Bo the You know, yeah,
he's a Jedi now he got his master's degree. Yeah, Bo,
one of the editors here. He put on his Instagram stories.
See Bow, I look at your Instagram story, he said.
(35:30):
Dodger fans are starting to love this, like when Otani
hits a home run. That swing, it's like it there's
like a cute little skip involved in it because he's
got that swing that a lot of Japanese players have.
So with that power swing, he almost has a little skip.
Do you notice the skip?
Speaker 2 (35:45):
Watch it? I like when he does it, When you
do it, it bothers me. Not good? All right? You know
what coming up?
Speaker 1 (35:51):
I'm gonna tell you about the NFL Draft and astronauts.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You're like, what the hell is idiot talking about? It'll
make sense.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I promise we'll get to that, plus some shack Diesel trivia,
a lot of fun. Kevin on Rich and don't forget.
Next Friday, the seventeenth of May, we will be at
the Graduate Hotel in Eugene, Oregon. So get ready, come hang.
A reminder will remind you every hour Next Friday, we'll

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Did Iowa Sam break out his old jock JAMCD?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
He plugged in his old Discman nice the olegamegabass Anti
skip any want to have that crappy yellow discman back
of the day.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
I remember it. I didn't have that one.
Speaker 1 (36:59):
Did you ever take your stereo out of your car
with you always? I feel like Danny G must have
had the most booming system. Yeah, the detachable face. You
would definitely a guy that had a woof for in
the trump so nice. It wasn't detachable. It flipped around
and made it look like nothing was there.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
Oh yeah, that's nice. It was worth more than my
car at the time that.
Speaker 1 (37:18):
Danny G super produced in At eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox, Iowa Saam on the ones and twos
and we got to talk the commonality between astronauts and
football players. Will explain plus shack Diesel trivia coming up
next to hour. I'm pretty sure Isaac still has an
eight track player in his.
Speaker 6 (37:32):
Car, right That a doubt the worst thing I actually had,
And I'm ashamed I used to have the club. Remember
the club?
Speaker 2 (37:39):
My dad was the last guy to own one. I
think my dad. My dad was one of those guys.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
Finally, my dad I had one, woke up and I'm like, Dad,
you were retired, you had a great career, you had
a good life. Buy yourself a new car. My dad
finally got himself a nice new car. But my dad
had like a crappy old Saturn that to this day.
But it wasn't crappy. I'm like, Dad, it was a
Saturn and he put a club on it, and I
would always be like, da, I promise no one wants it,
you know.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
The same with my Corolla.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
I'm embarrassed to admit I might have still had it
on when I began courting my wife, which is not
exactly a smooth operator move.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
Having a club still worked out.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Took her out on, you took her out on a
first date, and you're like, honey, hold on.
Speaker 2 (38:17):
Yeah, I don't remember.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Off to follow up on that.
Speaker 2 (38:20):
I saw a club in a on a steering wheel,
like a month ago. Someone was still using it. Wow,
people had it.
Speaker 1 (38:26):
I was saying, you're a bit younger than us, But
there was a time where people had the club.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
It was a thing. I had one, for sure. It
was a big part of the movie Swingers.
Speaker 1 (38:34):
Yeah, but not only for my card protection, but for
my own protection just in.
Speaker 2 (38:38):
Case whack someone. Yeah, that's protection. You see something heavy, Billy.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
Anyway, we're live from the tire rack dot Com studio again,
Covino and Rich At Covino and Rich who want to
play a long at home?
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Now? Rich? Yes, buddy, did you even realize? You know?
Speaker 1 (38:53):
There was a trip to outer space scheduled for this week?
I got it right here. Yeah, yesterday. Now got delayed
until no earlier than Friday, but yeah, scrubbed astronauts. Butch
Wilmore and Sonny Williams were strapped into their seats when
they heard an audible buzzing from a liquid oxygen relief valve.
(39:15):
So they're like, oh, you know what, maybe we should
for safety reasons postpone this launch.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Yeah, probably a good idea.
Speaker 1 (39:23):
But I bring this up because that's the buzzer they heard,
Ramos's old buzzer. We're talking to Big Mic, you know,
the guy that runs his place, Mike, and he's like,
you guys.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Know about you guys know about the astronaut launch.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
And it's wild to think that if you grew up
in the eighties, sadly before the Challenger exploded, which was
such a big part of our childhood. If you're roughly
forty s you might remember the TV being wheeled in
by your teacher and that said day when you watch
the Challenger explode. We were all into outer space and
(40:01):
the moon and astronauts like it was a big part
of us culture. Then all of a sudden, long before
Christy mccauliffe and the Challenge, dude.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
The Space Race. It was a thing, right.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yeah, The Space Race had our grandparents closing shops, like
they put the clothes sign in all businesses. The world stopped,
and everybody sat in front of televisions.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
And it's wild to think that we went from everyone
caring so much to I could guarantee very few people
listening right now even knew we were shooting astronauts into
outer space yesterday, let alone that it was canceled. Let
alone it was canceled. Is there anything else that you
(40:43):
could think of that we used to care so much
about and don't care about at all? And I bring
up the NFL Draft because just the other day we
talked about how the NFL Draft is the complete opposite.
It was a bunch of old guy smoking in conference
rooms with you know Beije phones. No one cared NFL Draft.
(41:03):
The Bears have their pick. No one cared about the draft. Yeah,
the draft went from from nothing to something? Is there
anything else that went from something to nothing? The way
space travel has become in our world, Like we're so
whole hum about it. Like there's no video of Tom
Brady walking up to a stage and getting his jersey.
Speaker 2 (41:21):
Well, he was a late he was sitting at home Spotsida.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
But the NFL Draft only, I mean, in our lifetime
people started walking up to the stage, right, I mean
that's the truth.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
Think about it.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
What are other things that we don't care about anymore
that we used to make a big fuss about. We'll
do it next right here on CNR
