Speaker 2 (01:03):
Hey, it's a Thursday, let's be rocking out. Come on,
let's do this action pack show for you today. We
got to talk about Cam Newton, Karl Anthony Towns Old
School in fifty hits. Like I said, we throw it
back on Thursdays. Plus, we're joined by the Mexican Monster.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
I don't worry. I'm not pulling my pants down or anything. Jesus.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
We're joined by David Benavitez and Monstro who's fighting Saturday.
We'll be in Vegas tomorrow for the fight. Who calls
him the Mexican Monster, Mike Tithan Death Mike Tythan So
the Mexican Monster. David Benavidez taken on David Morrels the
Battle of the David's the David's that's his Saturday night
on pay per view.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
I thought you were talking about David Hasselhoff.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, no, no, no, But we're gonna be joined by
one of the greatest light heavyweights out there, the guy
that people said for years, even Tyson said for years
Canelo was ducking him. So talked to David Benavidez on
the show and got to start off by saying good
day to you and man, speaking of fighting, the Paul

(02:09):
Brothers got us again.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
Damn it.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
I hate them, damn but I stupidly watch all their
stuff damn, damn.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
The other day we said, big announcement Jake.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Paul, Logan Paul in March, they're gonna fight each other.
I mean, of course we leaned into we think, I guess,
but I did buy into it because it was advertised
as an HBO Max sort of thing, like wow, okay,
but turns out they're not fighting at all.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
You are fake news.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
This is like when Snoop Dogg announced he had the
big announcement that he was gonna quit smoking.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Remember, and I remember thinking.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
Man, Snoop Dogg, no more weed, and then it turns
out just kidding.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
It was promoting something or other, some product.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
At cooker smokeless, cooker smokeless something I don't smoke. Yeah,
So as he's giving up the smoke and you're like what,
no way. Apparently the Paul brothers have signed the deal
with HBO Max and they have a reality show, Paul American,
like All American Paul American, which debuts in March.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Not a fight at all.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
You got us a haul anyway, So the Paul brothers
tricked us. Well, remember what they were saying too, the
fight you've been waiting for for ten years. We did say,
I don't know if anyone was waiting for that fight
for ten years. The only positive and silver lining I
saw too it was, well, maybe it lights a fire

(03:36):
for other people to get that fight in there two
brothers are willing to fight. What's Canelo and Benavitez? Excuse right,
But maybe this opens up more opportunities for fights we
actually want to see, Like I would want to see
Jake Paul fight some other people, not necessarily his brother,
you know, for the fun of it. So maybe the
show's good. Who knows, But we got got and there

(03:59):
you have it. The other big story, by the way,
if you have thoughts on any of this, eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox, Dannyg's on standby, What Up?
Danny g Iowa, Sam dan Byer, everybody's hanging out today,
Cavino and Rich thank you Fox Sports Radio Nation for
hanging with us. The other big story today is Cam
Newton and his ridiculous hat.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Oh, I do you're.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
Gonna say the woman dressed like a mermaid that almost
got eaten by a fish?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
Did you see that video floating around social media?

Speaker 2 (04:26):
I mean that and the terrible footage of the plane
in Deep American Airlines flight Yeah, that was horrible. A
lot of random stories, a lot of terrible stories, but
this Cam Newton one is right in our wheelhouse of
really did he say that?

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Wait?

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Wait did he really say that? Do I respect that?
Do I hate that? I can tell you what, Mike,
who runs this place?

Speaker 5 (04:48):
I heard?

Speaker 1 (04:49):
I heard him screaming in the hallway. Who they got
that runs?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
I heart?

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Yeah? I heard screaming the hallway and I was like,
who's getting yelled at?

Speaker 3 (04:55):
You mean the only Panthers fan?

Speaker 2 (04:57):
We know that is true, and he was saying you,
that's why I never liked Cam Newton as a Panther tran.
You want my answer? Oh, I know your answered Mike.
He was fired up about it. It's a really weird
story and he has a really weird hat. Take a
listen to Cam Newton when he was with Stephen A

(05:20):
on First Take.

Speaker 6 (05:21):
I ask you, Cam, if you could give back that
league MVP for a Super Bowl championship, would you do it?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
No?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
No?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
Really?

Speaker 7 (05:31):
What's more important impact or championships? If we're being honest,
the impact of you holding yourself accountable to say everybody
has a responsibility to do and you could say, as
an MVP, award winner or All American. You've hailed Josef

(05:52):
or you've hailed Joe into the bargain down. And that's
what it really comes down to for me. I know
that's not the popular pick. I'm trying to beep popularized.
But my take is I'm taking individual success because I
did my job.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, barf to you. Guess what. It's not an individual sport,
you bonehead.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Yeah, if you were a fighter, or a tennis player,
if you played ping pong, these are all great things.
Not when you're in a team sport. What a bonehead?
And I like him, I do not like cam asinine answer.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Now, the thing ridiculous. Do you admire the honesty?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
It makes you want to put my hand to the
screen and knock that hat off and give him a
karate kick. It makes no sense, dude. And like I said,
I like him. He says some atlandish things. He says
things that make you say he stirs it up. I'll
credit him there, right, And he's entertaining. And he was
a difference maker. I get it. You remember when he said,
like the difference between him and a rock party. He

(06:48):
was a difference maker. I get it because he's a
different level of athlete, a different level of superstar. He was,
but he's also supposed to be a great leader of
a team, the type of guy that makes people want
to play for him that he wasn't. Therefore, when you
think about what a team sport's supposed to be, he
failed because he never let.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
His team do victory.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
This isn't low level, you know, Sunday softball, pick up basketball,
where you're like, well, I played good with the team Wallas,
Who cares? This is the National Football League, this is
the super Bowl. To have that answer, and I get it.
I do admire the honesty, but you admire the honesty

(07:32):
when it's like a good answer. That's the weakest answer
for a team sport. Ever, That's why you look at guys.
You're gonna roll your eyes.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
You're gonna say, oh, Derek Jeter, what did Derek Jeter
always say?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
Many Yankees have said it. There's no na I gotta
get it. Here's the gift bag. Don't tell anyone. Is
that what Derek Jeter said? No, he never said that.
I was a rumor that was a really good night.
There's no name on the back of the jersey, of course,
no name in the back of a Yankees jersey because
they play for the name on the front. And what's
a big trend teams for that's how that's the championship mentality.

(08:07):
That's a team mentality. The me me me mentality is
why teams fail. It's why I don't believe in your
Mets moving forward because they put so much emphasis around
Juan Soto when it's about one guy. When it's about
one guy, it leaves everybody else feeling flat. No one
else likes that feeling. I don't think it's about Soto.
I think it's they paid him so well. We'll see,

(08:28):
we'll see what happens. I think there was a trend
you saw for a while. dB could attest to this,
especially in college table in the NFL, where teams would
opt to not be introduced out of the tunnel. We
come out as a team like player intro is like,
you have to do it that way. Why was friends
of success Because they all fought together, and they fought

(08:49):
for the same money together, and they wrote it out
and they all won together. When one person thinks they're
better than everybody else, and by the way, he's saying
the exact opposite of what every other championship leader says,
you know what I mean, Like, no, I don't play
for personal accoletes. I play for championships. It's a team sport.
So he's saying the exact opposite. So no one else
says it because it makes no sense. That's the most

(09:10):
selfish answer and self serving, self centered answer you could
give as a team player on a team sport. If
he was a fighter in the UFC, in the octagon,
if it was a one man only sport, then yes,
that makes sense.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
If he was an Olympic diver, yes, anything else.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's the exact opposite of truth and the exact opposite
of logic. Now you're insinuating I should cancel him speaking
to the kids in the little league in Popwater, Like yeah,
and dude, I'm not mad at him. It's just like,
did he really say that? And he tried to make
it like it made sense because it doesn't. It does
not make sense. Should he be proud of it?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Like all right, let's break it down to the smallest
of levels. Right, if you were playing in a softball game,
if you were playing in a baseball game growing up,
football game, growing up, Yeah, do you feel good if
you did good, right, There's that feeling of man, I
went four for four. Sucks that we lost, but I
went four for four. There's that sense of fulfillment. You
get that you did your part, you get it, but

(10:14):
you're just one piece of that puzzle.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
You still lost.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
Listen, you're allowed to be selfish when you're not a pro.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
Exactly.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've said to you, dude, when I play Sunday softball
with my buddies, if I go four for four and
we lose, let's be honest. Unless it's like the championship game.
I'd rather that than go zero for four and my
team wins. I don't step away from my wife and
kids for an hour. How about this plays wrap quarterback.
This is the other level. He's not just another.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Cog in the wheel. He is the quarterback.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
And the difference between him, unless say a current day
Baker Mayfield. Yeah, is he a better athlete than Baker Mayfield,
more of a difference maker?

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Absolutely?

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Cam Newton was all of that, and that's why you're
more aggravated. He had the potential to be one of
the greatest of all time. The players want to play
for Baker Mayfield. You see that. They want to play
for him because he's in it. He believes in the team.
He's one of the guys. These other dudes, they didn't

(11:15):
want to play for Cam that same way, and that
was the problem.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
That's a bad leader. You're the quarterback. You got to
be a good leader. You're not playing for yourself. You
can't win by yourself. Understandable and honest or absurd? Dan Bayer,
what do you think, buddy boy? Get to see It's
great to see you guys as well.

Speaker 8 (11:33):
Super Bowl thirty five the last time we had individual announcements, well,
I should say super Bowl thirty six because the rams
were announced and then the Patriots ran out as a team,
so it was fifty to fifty. That ruined everything in
my mind. Kevino, I know you love it, and I'm
on the side of Cam Newton on this. I think
that you develop yourself. Everything else plays into what it is.

(11:54):
But if you're growing up, you're trying to be the
best that you can be. And it's not a knocking
you know anyone else? Like would Dan Marino trade his
career for a Super Bowl ring? He's arguably one of
the greatest quarterbacks of all time. Do you trade all
that to be to his point, Brad Johnson, I don't
think I would.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
You know, did you rather be Brad Johnson or De Marino?
I've been treat quest.

Speaker 2 (12:14):
If you mean the the stigma that Dan Marino has
to live with for the rest of his life that
he was one of the greatest, but he never won.

Speaker 1 (12:21):
He's in the game of winning. That's what you're in
the league to do.

Speaker 2 (12:25):
That's the name of the game. That's the whole purpose
and point. So, yeah, you were great, but he never
won one. I think Dan Marino, without of that, would
even hesitate to say, yeah, I would trade everything for
the Super Bowl. If you're Mike Trout, a guy that
you know when not hurt, is compared to Mickey Mantle,
the guy like Sniff the playoff once. If you're Mike Trout,

(12:46):
do you, when all said and done, you rather waste
away in Anaheim down there playing for the Angels, never
really be a postseason guy. But at the end of
the career you'll have five hundred home runs, bat three
hundred Hall of Famer first ballot Or would you rather
be less of a star but have two World Series?

(13:09):
Like I said, would you rather be Max munthsig or
you could have. I'm not saying Cam Newton should be
ashamed of his career. The guy was incredible to even
get to that point, one of the best to do it.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
We know that.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
So he should be proud of his accomplishments and proud
of his accolades. But isn't it selfish to say I'd
rather keep my personal accolade than to share a victory
with the team that I led. I mean, I think
this is as common says I have the answer. It's
the most selfish response.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
You could get.

Speaker 2 (13:43):
I don't love the Marina. I mean, I'm a professional
in being selfish. I'm the most self centered guy you know,
and I'm telling you it's absurd, Joe, I don't like
the Marino analogy because you're comparing a career to a
Super Bowl. Cam Newton was asked, would you trade in
the MVP? That's an individual honor. It wasn't like, yo, Caam,
would you trade your career stats and everything for a

(14:05):
Super Bowl? I think there's a difference there, getting a
trophy versus your career stats and numbers. Right, Like Dann Marino,
I don't know if he would want to trade what
he meant, and how great Dan Marino was. You know,
guys like Joe Montana say dey Marino was the best ever.
I don't know if you trade that to be Trent

(14:28):
Dilfer or Brad Johnson or something like that. But the
Cam Newton thing comes across more selfish because it wasn't
like would you trade your career? It was would you
trade this one honor for this honor? Meaning like, hey,
take away the MVP, but you want a super Bowl.
The answer is a no brainer. You want to be
a super Bowl winner. And by the way, like, yeah,

(14:50):
it was an honest answer, but it doesn't mean it
was a good answer, right, You don't always need to
be that honest. Well, you know what your thoughts selfish, honest, refreshing,
lame as hell, your thoughts on Cam Newton saying he
would not trade his MVP for a super Bowl? Ring

(15:12):
your thoughts next, And like we said, big fight this weekend,
David Benavidez, we'll talk to him within the hour, talk
a little more NFL. We'll go old school, a fun
Thursday show right here on Cavino and Rich. Now we're
not TV weatherman, but we know a thing or two
about driving in winter's conditions forecast for a lot of

Team sports should never be about me, me me, That's
why they don't win as a team.

Speaker 1 (16:37):
Did you just say me?

(17:23):
Curt Heading was from Minneapolis? Great Kurt Heading. By the way,
As we get to your phone calls about Cam Newton,
and the NFL or what a week and a couple
days away from the Super Bowl the average ticket price
for Nolan's Eagles Chiefs. They're saying it's about seventy three

(17:43):
hundred dollars. Not the highest ever? What is the highest
average ticket price? What's super Bowl? I'll give you a hint.
It's in the last like five to ten years. Is
there a super Bowl you remember, like, that's gotta be
the one.

Speaker 3 (17:58):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
When you said the highest ever, I thought you on
a plane when you were on edibles, That's what I thought.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
I thought maybe it was Vegas just because of the
expensive stadium prices there and it was.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Like a hot city to go for their first Super Bowl.
Not the answer, what's your guess?

Speaker 10 (18:14):
I was Samuel when the Patriots came in undefeated and
played the Giants.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Good guess, but not the answer to dB and he guesses.
Do you know the answer to this one?

Speaker 3 (18:22):
I'll say Chiefs Niners?

Speaker 1 (18:24):
First time around? That was the second most.

Speaker 2 (18:27):
The highest average ticket cost eighty three hundred dollars, so
about one thousand dollars more than the average ticket for
this game. When Tom Brady took on Mahomes down in Tampa,
TV twelve as a buccaneer where they beat the Chiefs.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
And there was only three thousand people in the stands.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
So funny. That clearly is a factor.

Speaker 10 (18:48):
I didn't even think of that demand oh craft, so
maybe that's supply it doesn't count like a jaded step.

Speaker 3 (18:55):
The COVID Super Bowl asterix.

Speaker 8 (18:57):
There are more than three thousand, but it was not
seventy thousand.

Speaker 2 (19:01):
Now my fun factstaks not really move mine up to
number two to number one. And guess what all is good? Yeah,
it's just like a trick question kind of sort of.
I knew I had to be recent times though, So
welcome back to the show. We appreciate it. Can we
play the Cam Newton's SoundBite one more time? Just to
wrap it up with your phone calls? Your thoughts on

(19:23):
this rich is saying? Is it honest? Is it backwards thinking?
Is it refreshing? How do you feel about what Cam
Newton said when it came to trading in an MVP
for Super Bowl victory? Before you play the audio, what
do you think the price was for Super Bowl one?

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Oh, we've talked about this in the past.

Speaker 10 (19:42):
Eight not eight three hundred dollars. It was the average
ticket for us. I'm gonna guest seventeen dollars a ticket, close, Samuel,
thank you? Twelve dollars, Yeah, twelve dollars for Super Bowl
one fifty cents to park exact? How much those twelve
dollars in today's money back then?

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Or you know what?

Speaker 1 (19:59):
First inflation?

Speaker 2 (20:00):
Probably only a couple hundred bucks, Sam, It's not eight thousand,
I'll tell you that.

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, all right, I'm sorry.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Back to the steven A talking to Cam Newton selfish
or what I.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Ask you, Cam?

Speaker 6 (20:10):
If you could give back that league MVP for a
Super Bowl championship, would you do it?

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Nope? Oh?

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Really?

Speaker 11 (20:18):
Really?

Speaker 3 (20:18):
Wow?

Speaker 7 (20:19):
What's more important? Impact or championships? If we're being honest,
the impact of you holding yourself accountable to say, everybody
has a responsibility to do.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
And you could say, as.

Speaker 7 (20:33):
An MVP award winner or All American, you've hailed yourself
or you've hailed your endo. The bargain down and that's
what it really comes down to it for I know
that's not the popular pick. I'm trying to be popularized, but.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
You should because my night.

Speaker 7 (20:50):
Take is I'm taking individual success because I did my job.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Now, you know, I thought about it even more? How
about sharing this victory with all of the thousands and
millions of fans you have for the pride of the
city that you played for. No, your one stupid accolade
means more than that.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 2 (21:11):
The one time announcement of and the MVP is Cam
Newton met more to him than celebrating with fifty plus teammates, staff, personnel,
the fans a parade exactly?

Speaker 1 (21:21):
Come on his.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Job to jump on that fumble?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, yeah, Well, that he has said recently has one
of his biggest regrets obviously. So again, we like Cam,
but just no way that he is right in saying
that he can think that all he wants. I mean,
you know what, you could argue that he's an entertaining
guy and we're talking about him.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
So a win for Cam Newton. Let's go to Eli
in Viselia.

Speaker 2 (21:47):
Your thoughts selfish, honest, both as clown awesome?

Speaker 3 (21:51):
What do you think?

Speaker 9 (21:52):
What's happening?

Speaker 12 (21:53):
Covino?

Speaker 9 (21:53):
What's happening Ranchel? Wait man, So this is the prototypical.

Speaker 11 (21:59):
Type of stuff.

Speaker 9 (22:00):
If you would ask him that question during the season
after the Super Bowl loss, he would lie through his
teeth and say, oh, this is a team sport. But
now that he don't really have much going on from
besides the little podcast, well he has to say that
to stay relevant.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
Yeah, think about that. If you were a GM or
a coach, would you ever hire a guy who thought
that way?

Speaker 9 (22:20):
No?

Speaker 1 (22:20):
So, yeah, he may be honest now, but he did
not have that attitude, then that would hire that guy.

Speaker 2 (22:25):
Yo, Eli, That's a great point because you know, you know,
truth comes out when you're no longer in the game, right,
Like if we were done with our broadcast career and
someone's like, all right, now, tell me what you really
think about some of the people you work for. Perhaps
you know, to be different, that mentality is why they

(22:45):
never won. That's to perhaps that's what's frustrating for the fans.
It's the color Carolina fan, can you know? It's just
it's almost like the true colors of Cam Newton came
out in that comment. And again he likes to stir
it up, so maybe he's enjoying this. Uh Wallace in Charlott,
who I can only imagine does not like that comment
being from Charlotte.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
What's up?

Speaker 9 (23:04):
No, I don't like it at all, But it just
goes back to when he was in.

Speaker 12 (23:08):
The Super Bowl and fumbled the ball and ran away
from the pile instead of trying to recover. He's always
been selfish.

Speaker 9 (23:15):
And that's what all the fans here and Charlotte.

Speaker 12 (23:17):
Think about him too. He's always been selfish.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
You know.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
That's that check that's not a good quality.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
You know.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
Don't lean into your bad qualities. That's the problem with
today's world. Everyone leans into their own bad qualities and narcissism.
I love that's a that's a great point Cavino always makes.
When you think of what your worst traits might be,
people like lean into him like it's great, Like, hey,
well love me for who I am.

Speaker 10 (23:44):
Well, not if he could be better. I'm petty. I'm
going to live that up. Yeah, pettiness is not a virtue,
you know.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
You know what I'm saying. I know I have a
lot of bad qualities. I try to fix them, not like.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Fix your bad qualities.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Can He knows right, I was, Sam Yo, fist bump
to you because people should try to improve their bad
qualities instead. Nothing bothers me more than when a man
or a woman is sort of like pain in he
has to deal with and they're sort of like, well,
that's just me, Like it's almost like a man being.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
A few years ago, before I met Brenda and I
was online dating, saw a lot of this on females profiles.
They said this is how I am. This is how
I am. It's just my sign too bad, like take
me or love me or love me?

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, I don't.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Want to deal with it.

Speaker 3 (24:29):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Don't don't enhance your worst traits the end. All right, now,
let's say hi to Trevor and Texas to rap it.
Then we'll go to dB for an update. We'll go
old school. We got Benavidez Action Pack CNR on a Thursday.
What's up, trev.

Speaker 12 (24:45):
Hey, what's going on? Guys? They take my call again.
You guys are refreshing. You always let me chime.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
In, No problem it.

Speaker 12 (24:50):
What's up this Cam Newton thing is? I mean, I
would say it's disgusting, but at the same time, it's
just who he is, right, and I know that you
guys just said that's not an excuse. What I wouldn't say, though,
is the ring champions on that team. Luke Keekley. I
remember watching him get carted off crying, which pretty much

(25:11):
ended his career because he got knocked out on the field.
And I know that there's probably about fifteen offensive linemen
on that team, both both first string and backups, that
are not very happy with that comment, because me, you,
probably everybody in the studio can't name a single one
of them. But if they want a championship, that would

(25:32):
have been the highlight of their life.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Yeah, honestly, what an insult to all the offensive linement
that fans, the fans. There's a couple of people, the coach,
the fans that supported this team and the offense.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Right, all right, I'm with you on this.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
All right, let's go to our boy and you are
stand byer for an update, Dann, what's up?

Speaker 8 (25:53):
I uh, I'll only talk to you Rich, not mister
twenty seven home run Steve Cavino. I had no idea
on how many league titles you've won. All I've heard
about is your individual accomplishment of twenty seven Little league
home runs.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
I've never heard about any division titles.

Speaker 1 (26:08):
I've never heard about any regional titles.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
So I just just saying, damn fire, what an amazing
point I have not figured out over the last twenty years.
Never won a Championship. Would you give up your Nationals
twenty seven? Would you give up my little league accolades?
They're hard to compare to Super Bowls? Oh yeah, definitely, definitely.
Would you give up your twenty seven little league home runs?

(26:34):
If you were said, Oh, my team went to Cooperstown.
Oh went to Cooperstown without a doubt? Yes, all right, yeah, right, yes, yes.
By the way, can you don't stop growing that he's
still fine? Yeah, was as big as I am now literally.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
One baseball note to pass along.

Speaker 8 (26:50):
Max SU's or did sign with the Blue Jays one
year fifteen million dollars.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
According to those reports.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
It's a good risk reward I think for the Blue Jays, right,
I mean, yeah, might as well, right, yeah, why not?

Speaker 8 (27:00):
The NFL says twenty twenty four had the lowest amount
of concussion since twenty fifteen, down seventeen percent from a
year ago. The big news in the NFL today stemming
from Baltimore. The Baltimore Banner quoted six massage therapists is
from multiple spas, by the way, accusing Ravens kicker Justin
Tucker of acting inappropriately during their sessions. Some spas immediately

(27:24):
terminated Tucker as a client for what they say was
inappropriate sexual behavior. Tucker has denied the allegations. He's called
them unequivocally false, and hired a defamation lawyer to handle
his case. The NFL says they are aware and now
investigating those allegations. The Eagles designated defensive end Brandon Graham
to return from ir following a torn triceps muscle. Wall

(27:46):
Street Journal says the FBI is investigating heat guard Terry
Rozier and his possible involvement with the sports gambling ring
dating back to March of twenty twenty three, when he
was a member of the Hornets and they played a
game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Tennessee hopes to land
a WNBA expansion franchise with an investor group that includes
Peyton Manning, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill and guys. The

(28:08):
final number of nicknames for the Utah Hockey Club down
to three. They're gonna choose it for next season and
then move on with that name. Hockey Club is one
of them, so they are the Utah Hockey Club right now.
That is one of the three finalists. Utah Mammoth in
the Utah Wassatch.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
The Yeti's gone, I love the Yetty.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
See you later.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah, he's rejected, right dB because of other companies that
have Yetti in their name.

Speaker 8 (28:32):
Yeah, and there's a problem with the Mammoth as well.
There's a lacrosse team in Denver that's named the Mammoths,
so there could be some conflict there.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
The Indians of the Guardians. For a minute, there was
a hang up with the Guardians because it was a
women's sports team, the Guardians. So all right, thank you,
Dan Bayer, And let me throw one thing in being
that I'm a Mets fan and I'll continue to care
about the story. Pete Alonzo now being urged to overcome
his quote sour grapes and accept the Mets offer.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Is that an easy thing to do.

Speaker 2 (29:04):
Where you're like, no week offer, I'll go elsewhere and
then nothing else happens. Do you think the Mets optically
need to be like, hey, Pete, we'll give you a
little more money. So it looks like he's not a little.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
Bee, I think so, yeah, do right by the guy.

Speaker 2 (29:16):
Right to give him a little more so it looks
like he didn't cometing back, right, all right? Yeah, Well,
would want him to come in they're all bitter about it,
no doubt.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
All right, well, hey we got more.

Speaker 2 (29:25):
Kavin on Rich we're going to go old school and
David Benavidez.

Speaker 1 (30:51):

Old School and fifty hits a little early, like mister Furly,
just hit it.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, let's do it. Old School went fifty hits. There's
a certain yes, what is go back.

Speaker 13 (31:07):
Back into town throwing it back for a Thursday. Old
School went fifty hits at fifty after CNR give you
the time capsule topic and we reminisce together.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Yeah yeah, boy. Now this is wild thought as we
sit around streaming a million shows on Netflix, Apple, Pulu Max.
By the way, Danny, I know you and I are
all about Apple TV. Between Shrinking and Silo, oh man,
so good, two of the best shows out right now.
Honestly My Paradise though Stirring K Brown that's on Hulu.

(31:41):
But we're sitting around streaming a million shows, you're listening
to podcasts. We live in a world where entertainment at
your fingertips.

Speaker 1 (31:49):
To think back.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
That on this day in nineteen thirty three, the Lone
Ranger debuted to twenty million lists on the radio. That's
when people would be like a horse is coming. Yeah,
it did.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
First debuted on a Detroit radio station, and then when
a company called Mutual Radio Network picked it up nationally,
over twenty million Americans were tuning into The Lone Ranger
three times a week by nineteen thirty nine.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Right, that's why I was gonn gad at so started
in Detroit, yeah, and then became a nationwide thing. And
you have to think back old school nineteen thirties. Yeah,
the whole family sitting around the radio Walton style, right,
sounds crazy, right, Like, yeah, you walk back to the
future and they go back to nineteen fifty five and

(32:42):
it was like fascinating, Like you have a TV like
that was eighty five. We're talking thirty three to thirty
nine here. To think that families would gather around the radio.
That's imagine like listening to our podcast with your family
in a circle.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
It's like, oh, just the youmember in a Christmas was.

Speaker 2 (33:00):
The Little or Finnni right, And it's just that old
school radio sort of thing, and that was the power
of radio and that's how we all fell in love
with it. So there's so many questions, so many things
that come to mind when you think about that.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
That's some of your.

Speaker 2 (33:17):
Favorite radio shows throughout history, some of your favorite personalities,
because The Lone Ranger is one of those legendary shows.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
I mean, the movie flopped. Did you ever see the
recent movie with who was it? Johnny Depp? Did you
ever see it?

Speaker 3 (33:30):
I never saw.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I think Olivia Munn was in that with it wasn't she?

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I don't remember. I never saw it. But growing up
you knew the legend of the Lone Ranger. That's how
popular it was. Over twenty million people were tuning in
to listen. So based on that thought, I mean, anything
that comes to mind as far as radio and what
it meant to you and lasting impressions. But are there

(33:55):
shows today that would have been great, so great that
you would have still listened to them on the radio,
Probably most of them, because you would you were just
looking for entertainment at that stage of the game. And again,
there's so many questions when you think about how families
gathered around the radio, Like are there old school forms
of media and technology that you look back and say, yeah,

(34:17):
I wish I could have experienced.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
What that was like.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah, But when you say that, like radio still exists,
you know what I'm saying. Kids now at the at
their fingertips, they grab the remote and they start playing
in your smart TV, and they go to YouTube, they
go to Hulu, they go to Disney Plus, they do
all this stuff. Your kids will never know what it
was like to go to Blockbuster, start in the A's
work you way to disease.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
They'll never know that. They'll never know.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
I mean, we never knew what it was like to
sit around a radio with our families.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
We never knew that.

Speaker 2 (34:49):
Our kids will never know what it was like to
wait in line to buy tickets to a concert or
a game. There's there's a lot of technological advances, but
when it comes to show you would listen to it,
It's an odd question because what wouldn't the answer to everything?

Speaker 4 (35:04):
Not really, because I think obviously there's some shows where
the dialogue is more important. And then during the commercial break,
Covino and I were talking about shows cove that had
like really good transitions, like Seinfeld for instance.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
You don't think Seinfeld would have been a great radio
show with the family with the baseline and laughs and
but are stupid jokes and you know, you could totally
imagine a family sitting around the radio listening to that
back in the day. Yeah, even like a curb your
enthusiasm with stupid songs. I think that adds a lot.

(35:39):
And when I think old school radio and Lone Ranger
and things like that, I think even a show like
Dexter with the narration and doom beer beering nearer.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
I can imagine that being radio.

Speaker 3 (35:56):
I don't think Grandma Walton would have let us listen
to that, No, but.

Speaker 2 (35:59):
I could see that, you know, the way it's narrated,
like you'd sit there and listen.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I think some shows would translate, some wouldn't. That's a
great answer, could we know? Considering true crime, podcast are
the top category, the only category, I'll be honest, the
only category that gets more views and listens than sports
and comedy true crime. So honestly, a show like Dexter
would be like a top tier old timey times radio show.

(36:27):
You got to think about the shows, the radio shows
and TV shows that just sparked your imagination Again, Lone
Ranger set the standard for so many families back in
the thirties as a guy who built his career in radio.
For me, we talked about this recently. It was what
really sparked my imagination was like, who are these guys

(36:50):
talking on the radio? Like Casey Casem who worked in
this building. I'd hear that voice and I'd hear that
reverb that a cousin Bruce he had or a Kcy
case had, Like who are these dudes? Because we didn't
have the Internet at our fingertips to figure out the
faces with the voice?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Do you remember that feeling as a kid?

Speaker 2 (37:08):
I mean, not that we're not even at all, but
that entry for the Internet really stuck with me.

Speaker 1 (37:13):
Before the Internet, who are you is in our lifetime?

Speaker 2 (37:17):
If you were alive in the eighties and nineties until
let's say social media came about in the two thousands.
Before that, if you heard a radio host, a morning show,
a sports talk host like YO.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
When I was a kid.

Speaker 2 (37:29):
And my dad would listen to Mic and the Meddog
every day, I had no planet earth.

Speaker 3 (37:33):
What they look like?

Speaker 1 (37:34):
So, now what I think of Mad Matt doc Russo
with his blue steel look?

Speaker 2 (37:37):
On first take he's rocking a magnum and a blue
steel nowadays, Oh yeah, you.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
Would never know what they look like.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
There would always be some like hot Shot Nighttime Djail So.
In other words, you thought he was and that sparked
our imagination because these guys had cool names and cool voices,
and they were so animated.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
They're cool jingles. Imagine how captivating Alone Ranger must have
been back then, right, Like, we will never know, That's
the thing because we never lived it. It was a
simpler time to be entertained, right because think about it,
what were people doing back then listening to shows like
that on the radio and then they would put records

(38:17):
on and just sit around and listen to them together.

Speaker 2 (38:21):
But I guess it's similar to listening to an audiobook, no,
which I've never really done. I've dabbled here and there
with audio books because they're really just telling stories when
you're thinking about it.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
I listened to an audiobook recently, and it's that Bosch
series which is on Amazon Prime. And the actor from
that show they paid him to be the voice of
the audio books.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
So it's acted out so good.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Old school in fifty hits. We started early to make
room for David Benavidez. Your thoughts when we give you
the history of what happened on this day. It was
sort of a life changing moment. Families gathered around the
radio to hear a Lone Ranger eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Give us a call what comes to mind?
Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox. Again, We're Cavino

(39:05):
and Rich on Fox Sports Radio. We leave for this
city tomorrow morning. We will be in Vegas for the
Benavidez fight.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
What's up trip, Hey, gentlemen, how are you all today?

Speaker 3 (39:13):
Good man?

Speaker 1 (39:14):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (39:14):
Okay?

Speaker 5 (39:15):
So, back in the eighties, when we first got cable TV,
I used to go if I grew up in the Southeast,
I used to go visit my grandfather every Sunday. We
used to sit outside and listen. He was a diehard
Yankees fan. We used to sit out there and listen
to the game. And that's the way I was brought up.
A still a little off subject, but that's how I
was brought up listening to baseball.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Dude, it's not of subject.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
At all, because there's a lot of people that still
think baseball is the best radio sport.

Speaker 3 (39:39):
I agree with that. I do.

Speaker 1 (39:41):
If you're stuck, it's a comfort food. Maybe I love it.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
Stuck in the car and a game's on, basketball football,
This is definitely great play by play people, but baseball
is something about baseball.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
And the radio. That's what you see a bunch of
nerds at the stadium with their headphones on.

Speaker 4 (39:54):
My summer, My summers were narrated by the great Vin
Scully for real, and my childhood couldn't have been the
same without that.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
Dude's playing around in the backyard and you hear the game,
you know you have the game on. Absolutely, I think
that's one of that would be it for us. I
think growing up because I didn't listen to shows like
The Lone Range, we didn't have that exactly, Josh and Ohio,
you're on with Cavino and Rich what's somebuddy, Hey guys.

Speaker 11 (40:19):
A show that I watched about the sixties which had
a narrator on it I believe was Daniel Stern from
the Home Alone Movies was The Wonder Years. I think
it told the story of the sixties and it really
it just it gave a visualization for I'm an eighties baby,
but it really gave an idea of what it was
like for my parents to grow up in the sixties.

Speaker 1 (40:40):
That's a great answer, man, Josh.

Speaker 2 (40:41):
Not only great answer, but I think you and Covino
just broke the glass on something. If you were an
eighties baby, like Josh and me and a lot of people,
if you grew up in the eighties and nineties, wonder years, Dexter,
I'll throw in how I met your mother?

Speaker 1 (40:54):
Narration? Why do we love Narration? Because honestly, there's.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
Just something different and about it, and it really goes
back to old school shows on the radio.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
People love Narration. Everybody hates Chris Narration. Does what all translate? Well, yeah,
when you think about it. Now, Wilson coming up.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
We talked to David Benavidez, Champion the fights this weekend
in Vegas, So hang tight.

Speaker 1 (41:18):
That's next right here on CNR.
