Speaker 3 (00:16):
It's like searching FSR.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
I know what I'm doing. I'm calling out all these
weekend mutants. That's what I'm doing.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
Oh, the weekend mutants. Oh, let's call them out. Are
they bringing their pets to the studio? Is Bobo the
chimpanzee in here? Or Bubble?

Speaker 1 (00:30):
What's going on? Who's knowing on all the chairs? And
why do they all have doodos thingy? Why don't we
have duodo wifes? Why did the arms of the chairs
in here have chunks out of them?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
What is going on? Series? So VJ Husky getting hungry?

Speaker 1 (00:46):
Why it's like a nerve football growing up, it always
had a chunk missing because someone decided to.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Bite it out.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
That's like the arms of the chairs here in the studio.
And every time we come back on a Monday.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
It's worse.

Speaker 1 (01:00):
Like I said, doodos things. We're grassman, aren't we? Come,
we'd be rocking out. Let's go man an action pack Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
So much went down over the weekend, and as Dan
Byer said in the update, so much went down today
already to monster moves in the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
So big again.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
A J. Brown, Miles Garrett. I still think heads are
falling off. What do you mean, what's next? No, no, no, no,
no no, I'll just say the Giants, Guy, Oda Beckham
Junior back, all these things. I think push Russell Wilson
done to the back burner, like he's done.

Speaker 2 (01:36):
I guess. I guess like that. It's like anything in life.
Dan Biro will be the first to tell you, Danny
g will tell you the stories in the world of sports,
or media or pop culture. It's really just in comparison
to what else is going on on a slow day.
Russell Wilson, you know, going the broadcasting route, it looks
like it's done and that would be your number one story.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
But we have think so we're talking about super old champion,
almost two time Super Bowl champion, a guy that led
the headlines every time he spoke. It was like a
Russell Wilson story. And it's sort of like the third
story of the day that he's done. I guess officially. Look,
I know you could argue, one could argue he's been done,
but I mean, like, no, no, he's he's done done.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Isn't there something funny about that dB where the big
story falls to, like you know, third or fourth on
your list? Just because I'm sorry, I hit dB the
minute he took a bite of a little treat. I'm sorry,
is that a treat or the arm of a chair?

Speaker 4 (02:33):
Buyer's a picky eater, I can tell you right now,
he's not one of the ones chewing on a chair.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
That is true where wolves work here on the weekend.
What goes on during.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
The weekend, you know, during the break Check our instagram
at Covin on Rich. You gotta take a picture of this,
Like how is it even a thing where someone has
talents with crazy nervous energy and they're just picking at
him the entire time during the show. Because the rubber,
like the arms of our chairs are demolished every time
we come in. So anyway, some crazy crazy moves And

(03:03):
you know what I always say, Rich when it comes
to this, Like it's like when Farah Fawcett died, people
sort of forgot you know why, because it's the same
day Michael Jackson died. Diana Rassini was hoping all this
news happened like a month ago, right right.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
Right, that was the biggest story.

Speaker 5 (03:17):
In the world, although one of the stories has a
little something to do with her. Today.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Yeah, they aj Brown won, so yeah, Miles Garrett to
the Rams, aj Brown to the Pats, ob j back
to the Giants, which is like a fun story for
Giants fans better than talking about Jackson.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Doesn't Jackson darts like thank god?

Speaker 1 (03:36):
I know, you know, it does push Russell Wilson to
the back burner here, and that's a shame because I
know he's sort of his own worst enemy, and I
understand his reputation and how cringey he is, but the
dude deserves a little more than that.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Like it is like I was.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
It at Bats for the Savannah Bananas, where he's like,
I'm just I'm just that was it.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
I'm just toasted an athlete. It's it's over, So let us.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Be the show to say, hey, hey, Russell Wilson, You're
gonna be a great broadcaster, but hell of an NFL
career man, Good for you. Hey, can I tell you
something I just saw on one of the TV screens
behind this, Because you know, in the studio, we got
FS one, I got ESPN, we got every TV.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
He's got a different network on. I just saw a
b roll of Miles Garrett sacking brock Party, which is
what every forty nine ers fan woke up today seeing
this news.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
They're like, you had the hate, Yeah, just got Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
And you know, I just want to remind everyone a
couple things. We're gonna get to a lot today that
the NBA Finals are set, so many thoughts about that.
I have a hypothetical that has to do with a
bunch of big movies that came out on this day.
I want to talk about which ones are the most
influential in your life.

Speaker 3 (04:44):
So we'll talk some movies.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
We'll talk, of course, NBA Finals, Stanley Cup, we'll talk.

Speaker 4 (04:49):
Yeah, dude, dude, my kids are hype. Stanley Cup Finals
starts tomorrow with the Vegas Knights. Of course, the Golden
Knights are now going to take on the Carolina Hurricane.
Oh so Hurricane Hurricane.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
We're going to get to all that.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
But of course, Miles Garrett and aj Brown two big deals,
the big story. But I want to remind everyone how
trades work, because Danny, this is not just my team,
the forty nine Ers, you see it, I'm sure for
the Raiders or Cavino and Baseball, the Yanks or anything.
People talk about trades as if the GM has total control.
Meaning I saw a narrative this morning. How did the

(05:24):
Niners let this happen?

Speaker 3 (05:27):
How did they let it happen?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
The Rams and Cleveland, Yeah, we're in talks, and the
idea of maybe the Niners swooping in with some of
the you know, surplus money they had or picks. Maybe
the Browns were like, yeah, John Lynch, yeah we're going
John Lynch can't force himself on a trade. And that's
every sport, every league, everything, So unfortunately there are sometimes

(05:50):
you just have to sit by and watch someone else
in your division make a good deal and it sucks.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Danny G.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Do you do the Raiders have control of the move
made by the Chargers and the Chiefs or something.

Speaker 6 (06:02):
No.

Speaker 4 (06:02):
I think we're as fans, we're all just kind of
a little jealous of what it must be to be
a Rams fan because they always say FM picks and
they really go for it. They're always in goal now mode,
and so they get these Pro Bowl players that we
all wish we had on our team.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
On a side note too, with a resume like his
two time Defensive Player of the Year. You're seeing the
highlights on TV that Rich just said. How to check
his age too. He's thirty years old. Man, He's still
got some some juice, He's got some guests in the tank,
he's got some gas. So yeah, props, big move.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Must be super happy going to Los Angeles.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
Oh hell yeah, we remember we were on the show
and you guys read his letter, Remember when he wanted
out of Cleveland and instead they just gave him a
big fat bag of money.

Speaker 5 (06:45):
So he's he's hyped today.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I mean, it's like lifestyle wise too, right, It's not.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
It's nuts.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Him and Matthew Stafford are going to be on the
same field together. And I saw stat earlier saying that's
the first time a ragning MVP and reigning Defensive Player
of the Year are going to be on the field
together at the same time.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
And you missed it, Danny g Off the air. Rich
was just making up stuff, spreading rumors. He's like and
Sam Donald's coming out of retirement, not Sam Dark. I
mean aaronon iroon Donald's coming at Donald's. He's fine, Aaron
Donald's coming out of retirement, and I'm like, no way, dude,
And honestly, I was like, well would that be? How
well it's been two years. I thought it was one year,
but he's been done since. I'm saying, you know, you

(07:22):
never know what could spark some interest two years ago.
My thought though, was Miles Garrett, Danny, you nailed another point.
Just the lifestyle changed. No offense to our friends in Cleveland.
We've been there.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
It's fun. I better go fun times in Cleveland again. Cleveland.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
But I mean, my dad just visited from the East Coast.
Great weekend with my dad and he just he went
up to San Francisco. Now he's doing a little West
coast vacation.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I mean, if anyone missed our show on Friday, Rich's
dad Greg played Brainwave with us, and you could hear.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
How New York. Oh that was really happy to be here.
He did say.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
He's like, I could see why you could get used
to seventy five eighty degrees in Sonny every day. Oh well,
it's Dan Baia seventy five eighty and Sonny every day.
He's coming to southern California from Cleveland, which is not
known for its climate, and you know, beachy, fun vibe.
So Miles Garrett he won the day. What a great

(08:22):
move for the for the Rams.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, you give up picks, but what's the chance any
of those picks turn out to be Miles Garrett?

Speaker 3 (08:28):
So hey, big day, And.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Like you said, stories get buried because of that. He's
got a team upgrade, a lifestyle upgrade. Props to him,
and yeah, Rich, you're uh Aaron Donald hypothetical. He retired
in twenty twenty three after ten years, so I doubt
that'll happen. But it's crazy how they still move forward
with big time players like that. And Dan Byer gave

(08:52):
you the update too. I wanted to get this right.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
How can they let it? How could the other teams
let it happen?

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, it's in return. It was for pro bowler Ed
Rusher Jared Verse right, a twenty twenty seven first round pick,
and then the other stuff I thought was being negotiated,
but I heard from Bayer that a twenty twenty eight
first round pick and a twenty twenty nine third round pick.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
Is that right?

Speaker 7 (09:18):
Dan Byer first round pick in twenty twenty seven, second
round pick in twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 5 (09:22):
The third pick.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh wow, okay, cool, all right, so man, that's big,
big news. And as those stories continue to break, Yeah,
you're right, Rich Russell Wilson takes the back seat. He's
now a broadcaster just like that. And you're right. I
think the final image of him playing athletic sports is
as a Savannah banana looking overweight, and he got criticized,
and congratulations.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
To him, man, exactly what he wanted to go out.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
But the other side story, too, Danny G and you
already pointed out, is you know, the whole Diana Russini
related Aj Brown story to the Pats turned out true,
turned out to be the real deal. So hope you
had a great weekend. A San Antonio Spurs sort of weekend,
A Miles Garrett to the Rams sort of weekend. Steve

(10:07):
Cavino sort of weekend. Because, like I say, you watch sports,
you always see things that you never saw before. I've
been to a lot of baseball games in my life.
I've never seen thirteen runs scored in one inning. I
went to Sacramento to watch the Yankees A's game and
beautiful day. I wore jeans rich was big mistake. You
know when Sacramento so hod.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Why do you wear jeans to a ball game?

Speaker 1 (10:29):
Jeans on I woke up by I was like, yeah,
you know, is it short short weather yet I'm not
sure Anyway, long story short, thirteen runs latewn.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
Long story geens long story short short.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
Yeah, short short.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
You got two touchdowns scored in one inning and the
ace still almost came back. Twenty one scored, twenty one
runs scored that game, And uh, I said something to me.
They didn't do Diddley squad for the rest of the
Someone told me they got no hit. The other the
rest of the game, they did nothing, no one unscored everything.
They may have had one more hit. Just from my
own recall, I.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Feel like someone told me they were no hit except
for one inning where they got thirteen runs. And I'm like,
that's gotta be like a weird game to go to
because there you were, like in all your Yankee glory
watching thirteen runs.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
But it's the most glorious inning ever. So what I'm
saying is thirteen runs scored in one inning. The rest
of the game, they didn't have a base runner but
then the A started coming back after that. So a
fun time, nonetheless, and we hope you enjoyed some games,
maybe a nice barbecue like Rich had, and just an
overall nice month, because today is the.

Speaker 3 (11:33):
First of the month. You first, we're into jazz.

Speaker 1 (11:37):
We're already talking football and getting ready for Wednesday. When
I woke up today, I was like, yes, and that's
the beauty of went down.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
They said he said booty. I did not.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
I said beauty. Oh, get your head out the gutter, man.
I did kind of say booty. But that's the beauty
of this matchup. You got the biggest star in the league.
Are we gonna do Wembaniana Wednesday? And come in dress
like Wenby that does all oversized closes.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
I was pitching Friday for game two of the final
Game two? Yeah, really not not Wednesday. Well, you guys,
you guys to a Wemby day Wednesday. I like it,
but you got to give the production department time.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
Tell him to get rich you night and chairs rich.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
You sound like people that don't understand radio, Like we
just go in and push a couple of buttons and
it's already.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Have the voice, guys, say Wemby Wednesdays.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Is not how it works, but we can pretend Wednesday
it's a Wenby Wednesday for me because I'm so pumped
about this game. Immediately, call me whatever, you want to
call me, fair, weathered, front running, excited fan, whatever. I'm
not rooting, you know, for the Knicks to win it all,
even though I hope they do. I'm just saying I'm
so pumped about this matchup that we're going to see.

(12:51):
And it's such a contrast when you compare it to
how whole hum you are about the regular season. And
that's usually the case, but more so now than ever
before when you think about the regular season to the
excitement level of the greatest star in the NBA with
a great cast of characters. Can't sleep on the Spurs.
They're a good team and the New York Knicks. Dude,
this is an NBA Finals we all got to tune into.

Speaker 5 (13:14):
Man.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
So just when you thought the NBA was flat, they
come back and totally redeem themselves.

Speaker 3 (13:19):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
I woke up Monday today this morning, no joke. I
was so pumped that it's June first, and two days
from now we're all gonna be watching Game one of
the NBA Finals and what a matchup it is.

Speaker 5 (13:30):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
I saw in one of the shows earlier today it
said where does the thunder go from here?

Speaker 2 (13:35):
And the answer is like, I don't know, like on
vacation and run back next year. They were one game
away from going back to the Western Conference Finals. They've
been there three years in a row. Like what's the
you know, the really answer home, yeah, holmeground, Like what
do you do? You got a big contract player there
who doesn't show up in the biggest game of his career,
like total redemption for Wemby. Wemby put him in his place.

(13:56):
The dude scored four points. You know, it really was
an exposed sort of situation for OKC. So truthfully, yeah,
you you get that guy in the weight room. But
I'm saying, like, other than that, what yeah, I mean.

Speaker 3 (14:12):
You're one, you're one there from the NBA Finals. They're
way young, they're way fast.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
He just lost to Wemby, you know, really stepping up
with the talk of like do you do you get
rid of this guy? You have to seriously consider if
you can't compete against Wenby, that's the sole reason pretty
much for him being there at this point. If you
get dominated, which he did in a in the biggest
game that counts. Do you keep that guy moving forward?

(14:37):
That is the buzz, But that's just like crazy fan buzz,
like reality buzz, Like you're really gonna get rid of
that guy? Well, it's like anything when people want to
buy your coach or get rid of a player, and
can you get can you get.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Rid of that guy?

Speaker 1 (14:50):
He's got a pretty steep contract. And I'm saying, like, then,
what what what's your give me another answer?

Speaker 5 (14:54):
Then I think it's code for do they go after Yannis? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Yeah, code for Giannis on the table? Am I fair
in saying this?

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Because I feel like, no matter what, there's gonna be
people that are contrarians with sports takes from contraria. It's
it's it's not a it's not a wild sports take.
But I'm curious if anyone could remember the last time
there was a championship matchup in baseball, football, basketball, hockey,
anything where either outcome was pretty favorable to most people.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
Meaning right now in the NBA, well, there's no villain
in this story, right.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
If the Knicks win, you get to see Jalen Brunson,
hard working guy, break the Knicks Finals win, you know,
winless streak fifty plus years since the early seventies.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Homage to the old guard. Yeah, and like.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Madison Square gardeners popping, the Knicks haven't had a champion again.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
Revenge from ninety nine.

Speaker 2 (15:50):
No one, Most people listening may have been a little kid,
because unless you're you know, we have I know we
have older listeners. But anyone like fifty or younger has
never seen it, right, So it's either the.

Speaker 3 (16:02):
Shout out to ebeneezer.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
So anyone under fifty shout out to Abraham has never
seen the Knicks win. But then you could say, on
the other side of things, there's no more likable guy
than watching the emotional Wemby. So when he was getting
all emotional after that win, watching his dude play, and you.

Speaker 3 (16:18):
Could say, Wow, this could be NBA Finals victory number one.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Not to state the obvious too rich, like that's the
you love watching Wemby play again. Talk about contrast, think
of the criticisms, no shade and no hate on SGA.
Dude's an amazing player, but I don't think the general
public wanted to see that style of play in the
NBA Finals.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
So you got what you wanted, But.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
You look at Wemby and you could say, well, is
this NBA Finals win number one in the beginning of
what could be.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
A Hall of Fame legendary career.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
How many buddies of yours hit you up over the
weekend saying, when all said and done, he might be
the goat, he might put the whole Jordan Lebron conversation
to rest and could all start with this series got
to start at one though, Yeah, gotta start at one.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
I mean it's not easy to get back you win.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
Now.

Speaker 2 (17:06):
You know that Western Conference is pretty competitive, right, I
mean this it's a better conference. So I look at
it like, could this be Wemby's step one in a few?

Speaker 5 (17:16):
Right?

Speaker 3 (17:17):
Because what's that? What's what is it?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
It's always going to be compared to Jordan and Kobe
and Lebron and you know, the big name. So if
Wemby is going to be in that conversation down the line,
this is opportunity to win one way earlier than all
those other guys. Amazing, So you know Wemby or the
beautiful story of the Knicks. I can't remember another matchup

(17:39):
where I'm like either team.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
Coming from the East, person so yeah, I'm with you
as far as like general storyline and overall consensus painting
and broad strokes. Personally being from the East Coast and
having friends and family members that route for the Knicks,
that's obviously where I'm leaning. Just wanting to see a
great matchup. Yeah, I got it so pumped. I think

(18:02):
I could give you one. Was twenty sixteen when the
Cubs won the series, didn't they play the Cleveland Indians
now Guardians. Yes, that was one where it's like, all right,
if the Cubbies don't win, man the Cleveland Indians major
league long drought as well. So that was the last
time I remember thinking this is a no lose. I
think the NBA is in a no loose scenario here.

Speaker 2 (18:24):
Either it's the beginning of Wemby Mania or the Knicks
are this major market drout of the story.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
The drought's over. I can't tell you the last time
i'm you know, Super Bowl history.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
I feel like there's always been like a Manning or
a Montana or a Brady or someone where it's like, yeah,
they've had enough and it is such you know story.
We got mahomes fatigue real quick too. You know, no
people are you know? This is when Wenby mania is
what it is right now. It's very very cool, and
uh we're here for it, so we'll get you pumped.

(18:56):
That starts on Wednesday, and then you come in today
and you have all these football moves. You can't ask
for more than that, man. So it's an exciting, exciting
few days in the world of sports. And your feedback
at eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox.

Speaker 4 (19:08):
And some CNR breaking news. I just was texting with Ricky.
He's gonna help me tonight to turn that around in
twenty four hours.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
Now, I gotta go to RUSS just for less than
oversized Wemby teacher. I put in the Rich Davis emergency tag.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
You tell Ricky. I told him it would takehim, what
five minutes?

Speaker 5 (19:25):
It's not going to take him five minutes?

Speaker 1 (19:28):
You Wednesday, Ricky done? How you downplay the skillful expertise
of Ricky.

Speaker 3 (19:34):
The production guy.

Speaker 7 (19:35):
I love.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
I love doing that to editing guys like our video
guy Spot. I'm like, yeah, we'll take you two minutes.
I was like, Spot with you you can edit that
video what like a minute? He's like, you know that
takes like an hour plus to ed I'm like, I
want to.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Take five No wonder, Spotty wants to always punch you
in your exactly, So we will do a Wemby Wednesday, dude,

Speaker 5 (19:55):

Speaker 2 (19:55):
Is that like three minutes? Go grab your dude wipes

time he done.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
You hear that?

Speaker 1 (19:59):
Sam means you got to buy some oversized Star Wars
looking outfit.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
What is that like thirty seconds?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
It takes you because Wenby shows up in his sandals
and like an oversized nightgown.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
Yeah, a tunic.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, so maybe, well, yeah, we'll do that. We'll do
that on Wednesday, just for fun.

Speaker 5 (20:14):
Dude.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
I'm looking back.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
I'm a you know me, I'm a much like Dan Buyer,
a super Bowl savant, Okay, And I was trying to
because I you know, I'm one of the it's like
one of those weird things like you say.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
Savant, I say Dustin Hoffman and rain Man. Yeah, that's good. True.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
I'm looking back at Super Bowls and there's always been
one team in the matchup where it's like, eh, but
I was thinking maybe the closest was Burrow and the
Bengals against Stafford getting a chance with the Rams, and
it was like, oh, Stafford's a.

Speaker 3 (20:40):
Good story, but Burrow is a good story.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
You just wanty though, Rich, I can I pause this
for a second because it deals with this. Yeah, here,
we are really pumped about the Knicks Spurs matchup, and
I know that's where you're going, like, yeah, man, it's
a win win when you think about it. Most of
the world really kind of hates New York when you
think about it.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
I don't know. I don't know if we're as accurate
as we think we are because we're like.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Yeah, the Knicks, man, everybody loves them, but there's a
lot of people in the middle of the country lives
right now, they're like, yeah, f New York. You think
I give a deadley squad about New York. But I
just think the Knicks are They're not the Yankees or
the Giants, so too. But I don't know if we're
like dead on accurate. DIY be your thoughts.

Speaker 7 (21:20):
I think that Covino's point is fair that I don't
think that America has fallen in love with the Knicks
as a whole, but they're not hateable. Yeah, they're not
like with the NBA. I think it's the Lakers. I
think that exactly. Like you're right, like it's not like
the Yankees. But I do think that it is tough
to warm up. I think much of the Midwest of
the country that isn't Oklahoma City or San Antonio has

(21:43):
kind of moved on from the NBA period.

Speaker 5 (21:45):
But that's a completely different story.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
You know. That's another thing that ratings for this will
be really interesting. Yes, that's really I mean, you got
a big market.

Speaker 8 (21:55):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
I think you have like a like a flat season.

Speaker 1 (21:59):
I think I look, maybe we were prisoners of the
New York moment rich and you know, it's also our
job to get people hyped at the same time. But no,
it's coming from a genuine place. We are really pumped
about it. Yeah, so your thoughts, I want to get
to them.

Speaker 7 (22:13):
I do think that this Spurs team is different than
because of Wemby, than all of the other previous Spurs teams.
So we can't use them as an example of Oh,
San Antonio doesn't draw, because Wemby is by far and
away the draw.

Speaker 2 (22:26):
Yeah, Wemby's a draw as much as Tim Duncan is
one of the greatest players of all time, he was
not the draw that Wemby is right now, yeah, correct,
Same with the Admiral for that his first.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
His you know that one in the beginning.

Speaker 1 (22:36):
So I mean the big Fundamental didn't necessarily bring the fun. Well,
I know you had your Ginobili foam finger though.

Speaker 3 (22:43):
Yeah, they weren't that type of team. This is an
exciting team. So your thoughts.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
I want to go to your thoughts at eight seven,
seven ninety nine one Fox and we got more stories
to tell. We got a very special Monday edition of
Big Poppy Trivia for Baseball Threevia and prizes here on
the show, and Rich has some pop culture stuff.

Speaker 2 (23:02):
We got to get to you abutay. And there's there's
a movie question I have for you guys, So we'll
get to some movies. We'll talk more about the NFL
moves today and the NBA finals. Your thoughts right now.
By the way, for the record for the gambling man,
for the gambling men and women out there, Vegas has
the Spurs at a sixty seven percent chance of winning.
Nicks plus one seventy five Spurs minus two hundred or

(23:24):
two to ten in certain places. So the Spurs are
the favorite, not a heavy favorite, but the Spurs are
the favorite.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Going into the NBA Finals with Wemby of course being
the MVP. So that is what Vegas is saying.

Speaker 5 (23:36):
What do you think?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
Are you fired up?

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Am I wrong by saying this the first time in
a long time that there's a championship in any sport
where both have a pretty sweet outcome?

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I mean I feel the same way, but again we're
very maybe jaded. We'll see what people say because we
are nationwide and always a pleasure to be here. Covino

Sam Danny g is on the phones at eighty seven
to seven ninety nine one Fox.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
Great to see Dan Byer.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
He's got that glow like he's Bruce Leeroy, fresh off
the golf course, glowing, got the aura today. Look at him,
that Carmel glow about him. Dan Byer's got your updates
in just a few minutes. We're Cadino and Rich and
had a nice weekend, super pumped about the NBA Finals.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
That's the truth.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
And I was trying to figure out why Big Poppy
is stopping by today Rich and the reason is because
he has prizes to give away with Baseball Trevia and
T shirts to give out, even though it's a no
tarps sort of vibe. Yeah, but we already had the
last one standing. His name is Vanilla Ice. So Vanilla
Ice is the last one standing for anyone, as he

(26:59):
said so kindly, right, yeah, yeah, even though Trump is
trying to cancel that whole festival or he's crying about
giving one big Vanilla Ice party, Vanilla Ice is the
last one. So we're gonna, yeah, we're gonna do big
poppy trivia. But taking your phone calls now, so many questions.
Obviously there's big NFL news, right, Miles Garrett to the

(27:20):
Rams already talked about that.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
Much is bigger, which is a bitterer, which is a
bigger impact. Think about that. Let's let's take a phone call.

Speaker 2 (27:26):
But I posed the question, was there ever a time
where a championship series seemed to be a no lose,
like hey, Wenby in the Spurs win, it's the beginning
of a franchise dynasty.

Speaker 3 (27:39):
Possibly that's great for the league, right, but we're.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Also assuming that people are excited about the Knicks the
way we I think there is some electricity about what's
going on there, because I think so too. Listen, I'll
remember how the algorithms work. Two algorithm just feeds you
things ye want to see and feel. So you're thinking,
and we're thinking. Man, everyone loves the Knicks dark. I'm
a West Coaster and I'm excited about that.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
That's fair.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Yeah, both teams are very likable.

Speaker 2 (28:03):
If you're a if you're a NFL fan, you could
hate the Cowboys, but we could all agree that when
the Cowboys are in the mix and competitive, it's better
for football, right, I mean, because then you love when
they lose or you love when they win, like depending
on if you love them or hate them. If the
Cowboys are irrelevant, it's sort of like h And I
think the Knicks being relevant in the Eastern Conference of
the NBA is just good for the league. And I

(28:25):
think we're looking at a matchup where whatever happens, there's
a fun, really nice storyline.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
And by the way, both teams got what they wanted.
The Knicks were saying we want Whimby and the Spurs
fans were saying, we want we want the Knicks wet.
You know, I thought of one the Rock versus Hull
could wrestled Madia at eighteen. I know it's a love example,
but you remember what the whole crowd was like, cheer
for the Hulkster, but the Rock was like the guy. Yeah,

(28:53):
very rarely is there a matchup, but you're like, either way,
it's good. They highlight that in the Hulkster documentary on Netflix.
When you're done watching The Burroughs, which, by the way,
is not a bad show.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
I watched season two of four seasons. I know you
don't watch that. To you that good or no?

Speaker 5 (29:07):
I like it?

Speaker 3 (29:07):
All right, Well, we hope you watched whatever and enjoyed it.
That's confusing.

Speaker 1 (29:12):
I know back Rooms was number one in the movies
over the weekend, and Obsession was number two, Star Wars
number three, Michael number four.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
So whatever is you watched, I hope you enjoyed it.
Maybe a good game the guy did.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Let's go to the phones now to see what you
think about Wednesday eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox.
We're on the streets. We're gonna do a wim Biniana Wednesday.
So we'll come in dressed like Wemby and we'll have
some fun with that. Who do we got, dannyg.

Speaker 4 (29:36):
Let's go to Texas John wants to weigh in on
wemby Texas. John, What up, buddy?

Speaker 8 (29:41):
What's going on?

Speaker 5 (29:42):
Guys?

Speaker 8 (29:42):
Hey, real quick? If I know one of you is
is a kind of born I guess a Mexican kind
of guy. Wenby looking like he was wearing avata on
game seven or game six there, looking nice as what
women wear to bed, like pajama tops.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
No, my mom wears she goes to bed like Evan's er.

Speaker 1 (29:59):
Screw huge And by the way, that's the kind that's Cavino,
the kind of Mexican guy, know, born Aga.

Speaker 5 (30:04):
Mexican's got to be Mexican.

Speaker 8 (30:07):
I got got the spurs in five. The only way
they lose is if they do not treat Runson like
how they treated Sga. See if they kind of fall
asleep on that one, they're screwed, because ain't no way
we'd be gonna let Cat get anything shooting they freeze
or anything like that.

Speaker 1 (30:21):
That's all my god, guys, gowboy, Hey, there's a side
story speaking of Anthony Towns right, who's arguably one of
the best three point big guys out there. Right, that's
gonna be a fun battle to watch, especially after watching
Home bren play like ass. There's a cool side story
where Karl Anthony Towns was always a Knicks fan. Do
you know why, Like, is this coming oatge because of insanity? Yeah,

(30:43):
I think we've all been seeing that clip yet around
clip went around and it's so cool, like he was
such a Jeremy Lynn guy, right, and insanity won him over.
So he was like a Knicks dude from from the
get go as a kid because he loved that story.
And then recently Jeremy Lynn. You know a lot of
the old players wants to Nick, always a Nick, from
Marbury to Lynn to all the Ewings and Starks of

(31:06):
the world. They're talking to Jeremy Lynn and he's going
shopping for a jersey and he goes out and picks
a Carl Anthony Towns jersey and there's that mutual respect
and it meant the world to Carl Anthony Towns and
he's so pumped. Me playing in front of all those dudes,
especially like a Lynn dude, You're gonna make me cry
like Wemby after game seven. Well, there's so many great
cool storyline lovers.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
Yeah, hey, you know what you said it We don't
need to reiterate it again, but for a season that
was sort of like the playoffs and now the finals
the NBA I was wrong.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
I mean, let's go, let's do this.

Speaker 5 (31:41):
Now.

Speaker 3 (31:41):
Let's go to an update with Dan Byer see what's
going on in the world? dB? How are you, my friends?

Speaker 7 (31:45):
Giving you the details of these deals that went down today?
The Rams acquiring ring Miles Garrett in the trade with
the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will get a first round pick
in twenty twenty seven, a second round pick in twenty
twenty eight, and a third round pick in twenty twenty nine,
plus defensive end Jared Verse Versus was the Rams' first
round pick in twenty twenty four. Garrett waved his no

(32:06):
trade clause to allow that deal to happen. The other
trade that went down the Eagles and wide receiver AJ
Brown to the Patriots. Brown's gonna wear number one in
New England, maybe fittingly so that the Patriots gave up
a number one for him, a first round pick in
twenty twenty eight, a fifth round pick in twenty twenty seven.
We'll also go to Philadelphia as part of the trade.
Giants are signing wide receiver Rodell Beckham Junior it'll be

(32:27):
a second go around with the team. He hasn't played
in an NFL game since twenty twenty four. Giants also
signed a couple of other wide receivers, Braxton Barrios and
Juju Smith. Schuster signed with New York will free agent
quarterback Russell Wilson, formerly of the Giants, who is signing
a deal with CBS to be an analyst on their
pregame show, The NFL Today. Hall of Fame player and
former Patriots head coach Raymond Barry has died at the

(32:48):
age of ninety three. Some news from the Women's College
World Series as Texas swept a doubleheader from Tennessee as
the defending champion long Horns are back to the Championships.
Reds have played shortstop Eli de la Cruz on the
ten day injured list with a hamstring strain, while Serena
Williams is going to be back playing professional tennis after

(33:09):
a four year hiatus to forty four year old Williams
announced you will play in the doubles events on the
grass courts at the HSBC Championships in London starting next week.
No word if she'll compete at Wimbledon right now, at
the French oolbin nineteen seedlin American Francis Tiafo is up
one set to love and serving for the match in
his fourth round match against Italy's Matteo Arnaldi. Earlier today,

(33:32):
Arena Sablenka ousted Naomi Osaka in fourth round play on
the women's side in straight sets.

Speaker 5 (33:37):
Guys, back to you, thank.

Speaker 3 (33:38):
You the beat man, thank you, Dan bib Aj Brown.
You know, thirteen really productive.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
You know, early on in Tennessee Philadelphia had two almost
fifteen hundred yard seasons. The last two just broke a thousand.
So I wonder at the age of twenty eight, I
feel like AJ Brown in my mind is older. Does
anyone else feel that way? Like I would have said
a thirty early thirties, twenty eight years old?

Speaker 5 (34:00):
So A J.

Speaker 2 (34:01):
Brown a lot of guests in the tank. He's just
such a big strung guy. He feels like different to me, right,
So do you think he gets back to that thirteen,
fourteen hundred yard.

Speaker 3 (34:10):
Type of season with his new squad or what? I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (34:14):
Sometimes when a receiver dips off Danny g that's sort
of like, yeah, twenty eight, he's.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Sort of at that borderline age. Of like, yeah, he's
not falling off yet, I would say closer. You know,
thirty ish you start falling off a little.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Bit loose, and he's essentially taking Digs spot there for
the Patriots, and Digs had a lot of production.

Speaker 3 (34:31):
I think again, it was not healthy.

Speaker 9 (34:33):
It is.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
I know there's going to answer, but numbers back up.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Listen, I can't be talking about age at all when
my team is relying on Mike Evans, which, by the way,
I think will be good for the forty nine ers.
But again, I can't be to say you can't be
talking about age when you're sixty five years old.

Speaker 3 (34:48):
Six that's what I thought you were going to say.
I know what you were going to please.

Speaker 2 (34:52):
Hey, your thoughts on everything going on with the NBA Finals,
all these trades. Damn Buyer's talking about we're open here,
let's go eight, seven, seven, nine, nine on five and
coming up we are gonna.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
Play Big Pockpy trivia.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
And there was Today just happened to be a weird
day where I think there's five very influential movies or
TV shows that debuted, and I want to know if
you think like one of them doesn't belong or one
more influential than the other.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
I feel like I want to ask you, guys, speaking
of weird, you were right by the way I was
at the game. Sometimes you know, your few beers in
and you lose focus of what's going on. Actually, yeah,
the Yankees scored thirteen runs in that one inning and
not one and they didn't have another hit. Afterward, Dan
Byer confirmed it. I remember they had men on base,
but it was a walk. They didn't get another hit
or run after that, So you're right, it was really weird.

(35:37):
You're you went to a game that you'll never see
again in your life. Never.

Speaker 3 (35:40):
That's it's insane. Just put that.

Speaker 2 (35:42):
Perspective again, guys, a nine inning baseball game, eight innings
where the Yankees didn't get one hit, zero hits, eight innings.
One of those nine innings though, thirteen runs. Yeah, we know,
hit the Yankees. It's eight innings for eight thirteen runs.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Say, let me think about it. That's speaking of weird, Rich,
very weird. You were right about that. That's like Little
league or grown men's softball where just you're on the
field and you're like, yeah, what.

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Is this going to end? It was one hell of
an inning.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
Imagine being in the like the you know, right field
for the for the a's when that's going down, Like
that's a miserable feeling.

Speaker 5 (36:16):
It was.

Speaker 3 (36:17):
It was crazy.

Speaker 2 (36:18):
Hey, hopefully enjoyed your weekend. We'll take all your feedback
and a fun hypothetical next right here on a fun Monday,
Covino and Rich.

Speaker 3 (36:28):
All right, live from the Fox Sports Radio studios in LA.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
It's Covino and Rich and we're super pumped about Wednesday
NBA Finals. It's a rematch from nineteen ninety nine, and
we take you back to ninety nine, partying like it's
nineteen ninety nine. On over promised episode one forty one.

Speaker 3 (36:47):
Where were you? What were we up to? What your
hairline look like?

Speaker 1 (36:51):
What was going on in the world of sports and
pop culture? We go over that and more on over
promised brand new episode at Covino and Rich FSR on YouTube.

Speaker 3 (37:00):
That's where we're streaming live right now.

Speaker 2 (37:02):
Hey, guys, I bet you most of us might not
even have had a cell phone in nineteen ninety nine.
That was the time where it was like a fifty
to fifty thing. I think the stat was like in
the year two thousand, forty percent of people had mobile devices.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
You had that, Zach Morris one right, I did not.
My first was the Star Tech. Remember the Star Tech to.

Speaker 1 (37:20):
Start Well, we talk about that on over Promise, so
check it out after the show. Brand new episode is
up and available at Covino and rich FSR. And now
it's time for a Tirac play of the day. Both
New York Baseball teams made noise yesterday. I was there
for that thirteen run inning, but none bigger than your Mets.
And want Soto.

Speaker 6 (37:39):
Yeah, the pitch to Soto swing on a drive, well
hit right center, This says hey.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Corect sobby into.

Speaker 6 (37:47):
The Mets bullpen and right field and the left of
the three seventy mark.

Speaker 3 (37:52):
Thank you, Howie Rose.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
That was the Mets beat the Marlans ten to one,
per se Mets Radio netwhere go Iraq's play of the day.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Want Soto heating up. Some of the young Mets are
playing well. The Mets are uh, five games out of
the wildcard. I know that sounds ridiculous, but all the
teams that were playing really well Cavino are settling down
and the Mets are playing a little better. So with
like you know, you have more than one hundred games
up in the season, nothing's over yet again, ti Iraq
play the day. For over forty years, Tiraq has been

(38:23):
helping customers find the right tires for how, what and
where they drive. Ship Fast and freed back by free
Road has a protection with convenient installation options like mobile
tire installation tire iraq dot Com the way tire buying
should be.

Speaker 3 (38:35):
And like I said, the.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
AL is going to start to get better and the
NL will start to slip, just mathematically. So if you're
a Mets fan or a team that's struggling, like, it's
not over because right now the stat is still that
there's only five teams in the AL over five hundred.

Speaker 4 (38:50):
Well you say that now, but I remember when you
were in that what was it, eleven game losing streak
and you wanted to kill yourself.

Speaker 5 (38:55):
No, let me tell you that it was more right.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Think the Mets hold on a right, they won four
in a row. SODO is really embracing these young kids.

Speaker 6 (39:04):
Not.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
The real test will be when Lindora, Luis, Robert Junior
Polanco of any of these guys come back, like will
they fit in?

Speaker 5 (39:10):
Remember you wanted to fire everybody.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
It's like Sodo and the youngsters. Really, it's like all
the payroll money, all those guys are hurt. It was
a twelve game losing shit get ended at thirteen. Yeah,
they won that thirty.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
So yeah, they're actually doing a lot better than Man.

Speaker 2 (39:24):
They'll get back to if they get back to five
hundred in the next month, that's that's the goal, and
then that's then then you just got to get hot,
rip off like ten in a row, eight out of
ten at some point, and you think.

Speaker 3 (39:34):
About how bad you were.

Speaker 1 (39:35):
We're gonna talk more baseball later, and of course, Big
Poppy three vo. Speaking of baseball, you were at that
Yankees game where they scored thirteen runs in one inning
but got no hit the other eight innings. Shout out
to our boy highmate Tavars. He had sweet sweet seats
for me. Man, you were like second road behind the dugout. Yeah,
it was really nice where Cardial'll get front row.

Speaker 5 (39:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:54):
Our buddy Mike in Cincinnati hit us up on the
in show thread and he said, Mike Cincinnati, he said
that you are the answer. That game might be the
answer to a trivia question years from now, Like there
was a game where a team got no hit except
for one inning when they score thirteen runs. Who did
the Yankees play against? And people will be like, wait,

(40:15):
the Sacramento Yeah, there's layers to why this white It
was so unique. Right, it's like a temporary home for
a team. So you were at a cool game, right, Yeah,
it was very very cool.

Speaker 1 (40:26):
And you know they play at that River Kats minor
league stadium in Sacramento, so even cooler experience at the
small ballpark. So a really nice weekend and rich. Speaking
of big movie weekend, I know you want to talk
some movies. Yeah, there's a lot of big movies that
came out on this day. And I'm gonna give you
guys a little little quiz, little quiz. We'll have some fun,
talk little movies. Then of course, back to some NBA,

(40:47):
back to some football. But by the way, over the weekend,
Mandalori and Grogu dipped off big. They're saying that movie
is gonna lose money money for Disney. So all right,
we'll talk some movies, some NFL, some NBA, all coming
up right here. Covino and Wretch having fun on a Monday,
