Speaker 4 (00:29):
All yeah, Well, in a second, we're going to talk
to him, the man of the hour, the guy that
we talked about every fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Joey Chestnup. But co mean, I one thought.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I looked this up and there's no real answer as
to why everyone passed on Aaron Judge back in the day,
because he's doing just remarkable things in baseball now.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The only thing I could take.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Out of it is he was six 't seven, skinny
and struck out a lot. But even when he was
drafted by the Yankees, you know what the sentiment was.
The sentiment was Aaron Judge, he probably won't have him
played for the Yankees because they have such a deep roster.
His agent said, don't get too comfortable with the pinstripes.
You're probably not gonna stay here. And that's exactly what
(01:09):
was said to Aaron Judge back in the day.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
All right, well, without further ado, let's not make the legend. Wait,
it's that Joey Chestnut time of the year, everybody, So
with glory and renown, we have a surprise guest visit
from the Man, the mid the Legend. Let's welcome Fox
Sports Radio Nation. I'm building it up. You like this
build up, Joey Chestnut, Welcome Bay.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Oh, get on with you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, man, congrats on everything. I want to talk about
what's going on this weekend and all the news. But
what's it like for you when you're Joey Chestnut and
you just open up social media or just Google news
and you see stories about yourself everywhere?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Do you read them? Do you care? Do you get
excited about that?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah? I care? It's the Holding's crazy and I uh,
this whole it's been a wild ride and I'm still
loving competitive eating and I don't know where it's gonna
take me, but I'm I'm all in.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Hey, Joey does the Nathan's Contest even matter now that
you're not in it, is it like just sort of
does it have any credit with no Joey Chestnut in it?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I mean, it's it's still an awesome contest fourth of July.
It's the way people celebrate that. People celebrate for the
July competitive eating and they love a hot dog. So
it definitely has the place in my heart. But dude,
they kind of banned me for a reason that then
don't still don't make sense. I mean, they can twist
(02:36):
and turn it, but uh, they've changed the terms of
our agreement and they uh, and they banned me leaguing
conversations and uh, that's the way it went.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Do you think they're gonna feel the impact and your
value because you were sort of the height, You were
the hype man and reason most people tuned in. So
is there a part of you that wants them to
miss you? Was like, you don't want them to carry
on and do great without you? Right, So what are
your feelings about that?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, it's a it's like a weird breakup. As soon
as a girlfriend says they don't want to be with
you anymore, Like, oh good luck, I'm not I'm not
trying to make them regret it. I'm moving on and
I'm I'm I'm having a great time. I'm just gonna
celebrate for July and I'm gonna still be eating hot dogs.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You know, it's, uh, the analogy of the breakup's good
because when you break up, you're like, yeah, I wish
you well, but not too well.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And and what's what's interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It's like I'm selling it for Dan Patrick. I'm sure
he wants us to do well, but not that great.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Not that right.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Joey, would you say have all your highlights back in
the day in the world of competitive eating. We were
talking about this just the other day mid contest when
some guy jumped on stage and you like, stiffed arm.
You stiff armed him mid hot dog. Do you feel
like that's your best? Is that your coolest moment?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Oh? That was that was one of the wildest moments.
It didn't make sense. I had a broken leg at
the time, and uh it was. It was crazy. Yeah,
I remember thinking to do what's happened? And once once
that timer starts, that doesn't stop. So I had to
get back to eating and pull out the way.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know what I love about that you're in your
zone right, Like, you're so in your zone and it
was just a natural reaction because most people don't know
how they would react in the moment, and your natural
reaction was that of an action star. So I give
you a lot of credit for that, Joey Chestnut the badass,
because I don't know what I would have been in
that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I really don't ask them to ly who knows.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I'm sure you would have done it because I, like,
I've been training for the event for almost two months
and I wasn't gonna let anybody get in between me
and the dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now, now let's break this down.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Because we heard that you weren't doing the Nathan's Competition, right,
we heard this, But then a few weeks before, maybe
even about a month before, we heard that Kobe Yashi
was retiring to focus on his health. Then out of
nowhere we read, you guys are doing in this big
Netflix special.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Was that Labor day? Weekend? Labor day? You're doing this
Netflix deal?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So a part of me, and I'm just saying how
I felt in that moment, felt like, what did he
have this up his sleeve the whole time?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
How did that work? Give us the scoop?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, we've been working on. Me and Kobe actually been
talking for over a year and trying trying to figure
out a way to do it. And he he had
a falling out with Major League Eating and Nathan's years ago,
and I was I was hopeful there was a way
we could all I could do this event and and
uh and I was excited. It's uh, it's uh, dude,
(05:37):
at the big deal? Is this like my biggest rivalry,
my biggest rival ever?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Does he have a shot?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Like I know, he's your greatest competition, He's one of
the biggest names out there, But in reality, does he
have a chance to beat you?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Oh my god, I don't want to. There's one person
crazy enough to do it, to push themselves to that
crazy limit. It's him. And like you said, he was
putting out with this information like he was going to retire,
and that came out right because he was also Uh.
It took him a while to sign the contract, and
then then he told his manager and told my management
(06:14):
he's all in and he's trying to go for records,
And uh, I believe that way more than believing that
he was ever close to retiring.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Joey.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This is you know, your own personal, private sort of deal.
But I'm imagining your Netflix deal to do this was big.
Does it matter how many people watch? Or did they
just work out one sort of contract with you?
Speaker 5 (06:38):
You know, I'm not usually I don't don't talk about contract,
but it is uh yeah, it's a at a. I
think there's a prize involved, which is will be the
biggest prize in competitive meetings.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Cool okay, and uh.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, this is the biggest showdown ever and it's uh
and and Netflix is not messing around. They They're They're
making this biggest hot hot dog eating contest ever.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Only time, I mean Netflix got the cash.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
So I can only imagine Joey Chestnut hanging with Camino
on Richie on Fox Sports Radio. Now, you said, Kobyashi,
and you both have beef no pun attended with competitive
eating with the major league eating. That would be like
the NFL saying, yo, mahomes Josh Allen like, yeah, we
don't need you.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
A big mistake. Is there someone still in that.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
World that you that that maybe you mentored or something like,
is there an up and comer? Because I don't know
anyone besides you, Kobyashi. I remember back in the day
we interviewed a guy crazy Legs Kanti. Is there like
some new guy that anyone should have been looking out for?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You know, there's some awesome eaters. There's the guy out
of Australia. He's very very good. This guy any of
the sweetheart good dude. I would hate to see the
Mustard belt leave America, but there's a very good chance
he'll be going. It'll be going to Australia. There's a
guy out of Boston, very very good dude. Jeff and
(08:00):
Jeff Esper. Nice guy. He's capable of a mid fIF season.
And it's one of the things I'm talking to these
guys and now that I'm not there, they feel like
it's time for them to they can hopefully get their
personal best and uh and I understand that they can
feel like they can spread their wings because they have
(08:21):
a chance.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
We now remember reading that Esper said if he won,
he'd put an asterisk next to the victory because he
wasn't competing against the best.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That had to make you feel good.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
He's a great dude. He's a class act and he man.
We messaged each other and I'm i a spot for him.
He's a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Hey, Joey second in line as far as like, we
get excited about the hot dog contests and everything, So
what's second after that? As far as competition in major
league eating? What's the next big thing that you think
might blow up? After hot dogs?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Oh? After hot dogs? They just had a bloone eating
contest in May and it was pretty awesome. They actually
almost got it on the ESPN.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Which might have the all time record. Didn't you go
up just eating blooney sandwiches?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, dude, I think I hold the record in nineteen
eighty nine third grade. Yeah, record, that's all I was
mom made for.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yeah, Joey, let me ask you this, if you are
to recommend the right way to eat a hot dog, like,
if you're not you know, dipping them in water and
you know, shoving them down your throat, you know, winning
records and money and breaking all these you know, breaking
these records? Are you grilling it on the barbecue? Do
you like a boiled hot dog? Or is that grossy?
Like if you would actually try to enjoy a dog,
(09:42):
how does Joey chest not eat it?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
And what do you put on it? Mustard?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Ketchup relish some of those red New York City onions, Like,
what's a Joey chest not perfect dog?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah, I'm a boiled hot dog. Grinds my gears, I love.
I love a flattop griddle, I'll do. I like charcoal
a grill, all though we can taste the charcoal a
little bit, uh topping nims mustard, I'll get. I love
going southern California getting getting the street dogs wrapped in
bacon with with onions and peppers and even mayonnaise on there.
(10:15):
I uh yes, I love to eat and but yeah,
you're absolutely right for pleasure. I'm not dipping those things
in water.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did you cuts in them when you're you're grilling them?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Do you cut slits at the end or like, you know,
do you have a special technique we should try out
this holiday weekend?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
No, I cutting slipped in. That's that's our shelter. You
want flowers on there too?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Thank you, Joey Chestnut, Hey, Joey, tell us about what's
going on at Fort Bliss.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Oh yeah, yeah. So after I got uh told I
can compete on at Coney Island, Fort Bliss reached out.
I've been doing some uh some work with the military
in the past, and they reached out and invited me to. Therefore,
there's life deleberation. So I'm going out to El Paso,
gonna be eating hot dogs against a group of soldiers,
all beef hot dogs, and uh, it's gonna be great.
(11:10):
I'm gonna be pushing hard and dude, on top of that,
my partner impossible. They're gonna be donating one thousand dollars
to Operation Homeland for every every hot dog I eat.
And there it's gonna be yeah, yeah, there'll be don't
Oh my god, I'm gonna be put down at least
fifty hot dogs in those five minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Dude, that's awesome, awesome, Yeah, that's cool to have something
to check out this weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Joey, let me let me ask you one thing about
the impossible Nathan's relationship or lack thereof. Tell us how
it actually did go down. Was it did your company
did Impossible Foods? They say, hey, listen, we're we're open
to this, we're okay within competing, and Nathan's was the
one that shut it down.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Like what was the detail that sort of blew this?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Yeah, well, my relationship is Impossiblely, it goes back a
little while because I I've told people for years and
years that after I, after I eat tons of hot
dogs or tons of blowny, I am on a super
clean diet and and I do meatless mondays and so
so it was it was kind of a natural thing.
I can't eat eat pounds and pounds of meat every
(12:17):
day and and I uh, and I enjoy impossible products
and impossible it's it's different enough from from hot dogs,
and that it wasn't it was never part of it
was never excluded any of my agreements with Withnthans, Nathan's
and Madally Eating and well, as soon as they found
out that I was working with them, they they said, no, no,
(12:39):
you have to you have to cancel that agreement. They
were very controlling and then uh, then they started leaking
things to the press media saying I was vegan, and
it was it was, it was. It was weird the
way they handle it. And uh, most people can say, well,
you know, a plant based hot dog is not the
same as I'll be a hot dogs, and they shouldn't.
(13:01):
They shouldn't feel so threatened.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I have two more questions for you, Joey bummer man.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It is a bummer man, but you know what I'm
glad we still get to see you this weekend. Since
you're talking about hot dogs and vegan hot dogs and
blooney and all these crazy things you eat. Have you
ever had I'm from Jersey. Have you ever had Tailor Ham?
Are you a fan of Tailor Ham?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Some cool it? Pork roll?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Oh my god? Yeah, well pork roll? Yeah, I hold
the record for in southern I no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Let's be clear.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I'm from Jersey. I hold the record in pork roll sandwiches.
But I'm just kidding. But do you like it?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I love it? You know, it grills up nice and
and it's that perfect degree of fat and oily and salty.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh yeah, no, it's so great. I'm so gy.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
What other records? A lot of people here wondering what
other records do you hold?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Oh dude, I have some awesome ones. So that guy
I said that blooney one for Elmhill baloney. That was
fourteen pounds of blowney and eight minutes, thirteen pounds the
rib meat and twelve minutes. And one of my favorites
is harbored eggs. One hundred and forty one horrible days,
eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
That's that's amazing, dude. And you know what, that's absurd.
Did you hear that? Dude?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I can't imagine, because you know what, we all did
some damage this past weekend and we're probably going to
do that again this holiday we can coming up. So
my last question for Joey Chestnut here on the Cavino
and Rich Show and for DP is how do you
balance that out? Like, you know, we've met you a
few times. You're in great shape, but what's your gym
routine like to balance out all this damage you do?
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
The big the biggest thing is cutting calories before and
after as soon as soon as I can start eating
a super high fiber diet in greens, no sugar, and
it's it's sucks. I even have to stop bringing beer
afterward because as soon as I start having carved that's
when the weight really stays on me. But if I
clean afterwards, I can I can lean back to my
(14:59):
normal waiting about four days. And uh, yeah, it takes
it takes a little bit of a discipline to make
sure that, uh that wait doesn't stay on me. And
uh because if I if I start getting weight every weekend,
then I start losing contests and and Uh, it's losing sucks.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Hey, Joey, I gotta ask because we we bumped into
uh all, you know, back in serious XM days. I
remember one year I hosted a Hooters pageant and you
and Covino were two of the judges. You, I, do
you feel like I feel like everywhere I go people
love to talk to Joey Chessna. Do you love your
level fame where you're not like some A list guy.
Everyone's just sort of like, but they know who you are, Like, Hey,
(15:38):
Joey Chesna, do you sort of love that pocket?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Oh, it's it's a great pocket. Because there are critics
of competitive eating, and very few of those critics ever
recognized me. And it's not like like we're a regular athlete.
Like Charles Barkley. There's people who hate him and then
they yell at him and you have to get in
a fight. Usually the people who hate competitiviating don't don't
don't ever let they don't recognize me, and I don't
have to get fights about it. Uh, it's only it's
(16:02):
a great dudes, and uh, and it's easily a party
and we get to talk about food.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, it's always a pleasure running into you and having
you on the show.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And I want to say this. You know, we often
talk about.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Goats, Tom Brady's, Michael Jordan's, but there's some people that
are left out of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You know, who brings up Michael Phelps.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Not too many people, right, you want to talk about
Gretzky moving forward, Guys, especially around this time of year,
we always got to remember there's only one Joey Chestnut
and he is the goat, and he's on our show.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And we thank you very much man, look forward to
show this weekend.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
No, thank you Man so again, catch man cot pliss
El Paso. And again we're really happy Danny G got
him on the line this morning. As you know, Uh,
he's a regular in the fifth hour of Ben Mallor
and we were glad to spend a few minutes with
Joey Chestnut LBP show.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Because of that. I don't know if you know the
deal Danny G made.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You now have to compete against Ben Mallard in a
hoto getting hot test.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yes, I don't know who's got that one. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Oh, Ben, he's on these fasts for like sometimes half
a week, it seems like, really yeah, I think Covino
could take him out unless Ben is just coming off
his last fast.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Ben is a big boy man. And again we borrow
the mean he's moneyball Mallard. Do you have a nickname
like that? You mean moneyball mal People call him moneyball
mat and we borrow disappearance from Moneyball Mallard. And again
thanks again to Danny g and Ben for letting us
have Joey Chestnut here for this moment, because again every
day there's like breaking news on Joey Chestnut and we
(17:39):
share that with you today.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So something to look forward to in the world of.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Competitive eating and all the controversy surrounding it, you know what.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Not talking out of both sides of my mouth.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I take it back, because he's eating beef dogs on
the fourth of July. They're not vegan dog. He is
the goat and for you know, I do make fun
of El Passo. Sorry, I'll passo. But from what Joey
chestnutt described, it does seems like it does seem like Nathan's.
It's clear they're the ones that sort of we're reluctant
to let this happen, like if impossible Foods and Joey
(18:12):
Chessnut were like, hey, listen, I'll still do it. I
want to do it. And Nathan's took like a weird
hard stand, like we're not doing it, Like aren't they
Like aren't they screwing themselves over?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
In a bit obviously, because I don't think it's much
of a he wants to not put it down because
it meant so much to him and it built his career.
But it's not much of a competition without Joey Chestnut Man,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
No doubt.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
I will listen.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We have plenty to get to here. On Covino and rich.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Listen, there's a hilarious guest that attended a sports wedding
over the weekend, and I want to talk about unlikely
friendships in the world of sports and entertainment.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Plus some big trades already going down, not trades, more
free agent signings in the NBA. So a little NBA,
little football, a little of everything. Fourth of July week
Cavino and Rich in for the Great Dan Patrick from
the Mercedes Benz Studio.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
CNR on FSR, Covino and Rich and for Dan Patrick,
the Dan Slam Day one of four shows. Very excited
about it, Live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm Cavino,
that is, Joel and Danny Gee are here spots on
the videos at Covino and Rich eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Thanks again to the Goat Joey Chesna
(20:08):
and I met what I said. I'm not a big
fan of competitive eating, but you got to acknowledge the
guy is the goat, and he rarely comes up in
goat conversations unless, of course, you're talking about competitive eating specifically.
There's a few guys we often leave out rich Can
I just name a few because we always talk Muhammad Ali,
we always talk Lebron or Jordan, that's a forever debate.
(20:29):
We always say Tom Brady. It's always the same names
in the goat conversation. I mentioned Michael Phelps. People fail
to bring him up, and I think he's the goat.
Tony Hawk, I think, is another one that no one
ever brings up in the conversation unless of course you're
talking specifically skateboarding. But it's a big deal. He put
it on the map. He's the goat. And I'm gonna
(20:53):
throw two more out there. You can be like, really,
I'm gonna say, well, Dana White says Jones is the goat,
but I'm going back. I'm given for what he did
for martial arts period, Bruce Lee, an Evil Knieveld, motocross
and everything else, So I'm saying they don't get the
credit they deserve. And of course the great Joey Chestnut.
(21:17):
Just more names for the goat conversation. Tiger Woods. We
don't bring him up enough.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I mean, listen, there are certain things that are subjective.
There's other things that are just fact right, and you
just named a lot of athletes that recognized enough or not.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Are the goats.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I want to throw one out there in the world
of music, because you're thinking, what rich hip hop, country pop? No, no, no,
there's a goat that I don't think gets enough credit
because we're so used to talking about the mainstream music,
like you said, rock or hip hop pop. John Williams,
all the scores he has given us for all of
our favorite movies, there is no one close. There's other
(21:51):
names in that world. There's other names in that world.
But everything every movie that you've ever watched, there's a
good chance at the Bill Conti is good, dude, but
Bell Cone, They're all good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But if you looked at the movies, no, it's insane
that John Williams.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah, everything from What E T Two, Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones,
and Jaws, and it's every major theme.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
It really is incredible. It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
But thanks again to Joey chest Nut, look out for
him this weekend in l Passo.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
That's where Rich is by right now. Riches in Texas.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
The rest of the show here in Los Angeles again
live from Mercedes Benz Studios. And Rich, I saw one
of your boys got married this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Want to I want to talk all about it because
there was a very interesting guest at the McCaffrey Culpo wedding.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But I didn't want to bring up one thing we
talked about last week.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Let me just let me just get this out there, Kavino,
get off my chest, because we did talk about Brownie
James and how we should all be thrilled. We should
all be like, Yo, what a great story. Father's son.
When it was Griffy and Griffy Junior, we were like
enamored it. We loved it everything about it. Oh my god,
(23:09):
father's son get to play together. Because everyone hates Lebron
the sentiment is simply you don't like Lebron, just say
because otherwise you would love everything about this father and
son getting to play together. I just wanted to point
out that Nick Van Exel said that he is super
excited for Bronni to be wearing his old number nine.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
With the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Just want to throw it out there, because everyone seems
to be a damn critic and nepotism is like this
hot topic in the world of sports. And since I
know we didn't want to get into it more than that,
I just want to say even Nick Van Exel is excited,
because we should all be excited, because I'm stupid.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
The word doesn't even sound like what it is, to
be honest, it's a weird word, and I think it's odd.
I believe if you listen to the promos we play
here on Fox Sports. I know it's different everywhere depending
on where you're listening, but we played his clip from
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon just leading into this, and
he's talking about he would do anything and most likely
(24:07):
we would do anything to help our kids.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And that's sort of the goal.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Aren't we all working to provide a better life for
our kids? Everybody, you're trying to get them into that school,
you're trying to pave away, You're trying to be better
than the previous generation to help your kids out. Isn't
that the name of the game. So when you see
Lebron doing it. I saw another meme too. It said, hey,
just be cause you can't get your kid a job
at Walmart or FedEx, you know, depending on the meme.
(24:34):
You know, don't be mad at Lebron James. Look, he's
doing what everybody who has kids would do and is
doing or trying to do for their kids. It's not
like he's breaking any rules or laws trying to do it.
Everybody does it.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
We all do it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And how is it that we said this last week
on our show. How is it any different than you
growing up? Your dad's a contractor, he owns this big
construction company. Now you work for the company. The only
thing that makes it diff is that is high profile basketball. Yeah,
and that's it really Yeah. I mean, dude, you said,
we try to do what we can't legally.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I was even gonna mention, like people have done it illegally,
and I don't really blame him as much as other people.
Like when Aunt Becky Lori Laughlin like went to jail
because she lied about her kids college stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I get it she broke the law.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
But she said law with the specifically to I know,
but no, But what I'm saying is even people that
did it illegally. My point is we all would do
anything for our kids. I'm watching your Honor on Netflix,
The Brian Cranston Show, and My what.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
You would do for your kids? What would what you
would do for your daughter? Melody?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I can't even imagine. So when people are mad about
Bronni and Lebron.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I'll tell you what. I've built a career, Believe it
or not. This is a career, guys.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You know over twenty years, twenty five plus years of broadcasting.
So you better believe if my kid wanted to get
involved in entertainment, I would use every connection.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Possible to help her out.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Dude, isn't that what does when they yeah, again, when
you're trying to help your kid out. Isn't it's all
based on hate for Lebron period?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (26:13):
But isn't some of this that say, if Brownie was
six ' nine, two sixty and had dominated we rally
wouldn't be having this big a problem. We'd be like
him in the league.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
You know what, I think they still would because I
think the majority of this sentiment and this hate for
this situation comes from the fact that they don't like Lebron.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So even if his kid was.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Like deserving on a different level and he was a
monster at sixty nine, I think people would still have
something to say about it only because it's Lebron. Because
it happens in other places and no one blinks an eye,
but because it's Lebron, it's a big deal.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
You just I've seen a ton of I mean, I
guess you would consider the memes, but they're just comparisons
with like Bronni's stats versus a couple players that weren't
even drafted.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, well, now sells more tickets, man, I know.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Well, plus his workout when they collected the stats, a
forty one inch vertical at that height, and so it's
not like he's not athletics' sid potential, right, and no,
potentially they had him take the twenty five threes. He
made twenty of the twenty five.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
It's a it's a gamble. It's a Cavino at twenty
four hour fitness in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, so could I but again, yeah, with no hand,
with no hand in his space?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Rich, what happens when a hand goes in Covino space?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
We known, Covino's the best horse player in the in
the valley, the mini you guard him, he's he's got
a twelve percent percent.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I retired.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I retired at Horace. I haven't played until Netflix gives
me a special. I'm I retired.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
He's left handed.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
But yeah, I'm over that. As stupid as this sounds,
nepotism is stupid. I wrap it up by saying that
because we all would do everything we could for our kids, everybody,
no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I didn't want to de rally with that.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I know we want to talk about this, and you
wouldn't have, but you did, and it's okay.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I guess I'm I guess I'm not. I guess I'm not.
I'm to be rich.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Millions of people, all right, I'm not sorry even a
little there you go. But I but I, but I
but we had planned on talk about McCaffrey and I
just threw that at you. But but I knew you
had thoughts on it because there's so many parents listening,
and they're all hypocrites because every like you said, everything
you do from trying to get your kid into a
school or getting your kid internship.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
You give a great example.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Your daughter super super gifted when it comes to like
artistic ability. If she wanted to be a singer songwriter.
You're trying to tell me Cavino, who worked in radio
the last twenty years. Whenning call all the people he
knows at record labels, you'd be stupid not to.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
That's why we're working hard so that we can help
our kids along the way and be better for them.
Every every time you God Roman, dude, we got to
a plaud that he was able to create a path
for his beautiful family, that his greatness was able to
provide this.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
He's gonna be the first father son duo. It's something
that we should embrace.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
And it's all BS.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Yeah, I agree, because he got even drafted exactly, this
insane is getting picked up.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He got drafted. It's all BS.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Because again, every time you ask a grown man or
a woman, what do you do it all for?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Everyone has the same answer.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I want to provide the life for my kids that
maybe I didn't have, or I want to give my
kids everything. So here's a here's a man who has
kept his nose cleaned, has been a hero that's been
hated under the microscope. He has the basketball and and
he he looks out for his kid and we're like,
(29:33):
I don't know what you would do, Yamron, what you
would do? No one cared when washed Old Griffy Senior
was taken by the Mariners for that special story, washed
old ass Griffy Senior. But he was done by that.
It was the story was nice, but Griffy Senor looked like.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Washed. He washed old ass. Gotta be grif Listen, I'm
just saying.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
You've seen the videos where when they went back to back,
I was like, yeah, I didn't know Griffy still was
you know, could still do that?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah? Can Griffy Senior's feet like they were hurting as
he rounded the basis around the basis.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
It looks like.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I was a big fan of his.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
So your thoughts, you you could add to it at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio or like we
said eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and we
understand people don't like the story.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
We get it. I mean we see the feedback.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But I'm telling you it's all rooted in hate for
Lebron James, simple as that. And if you would just
own up to that, then fine, we can have a
conversation about it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
What if he really sucks and then he won't play spot?
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Okay, Yeah, I mean that's the thing with it, isn't
that the the isn't the whole reason kind.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Of the world.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
It's up to that person now to seese that moment
kind of, but to like make it sort of like
a spectacle, like to have the father son playing together.
If it's just a mediocre, lackluster season, bring him up
for the n season tournament. It's gonna make Lebron look bad.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
But spot, I'll give you an example. We talked about
opening doors. Like I saw recently, Emma Roberts was saying that, Yo,
everyone criticizes her because she's Julia Roberts niece, but no
one points out how Clooney's grandmother was like a superstar
back in old Hollywood. You know, Billy Joel's daughter is
a talented musician. But guess what the world decided. Yeah,
I didn't really care about her songs. You like her dad,
and it's you know, you can't you won't stay around
(31:31):
if you don't have the goods.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah, they have to deliver, and there might be more
pressure on that, but did he really have the goods
in the first place.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
There was a lot of pressure on Jordan's kids because
you know, when he was getting recruited, like one of
the stipulations is you have to become a Nike school
and you're an Adidas school.
Speaker 10 (31:50):
Yeah, and he couldn't cut it, so he dated his
teammates mom, teammate's wife.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
That's wife for that spot. So shery your thoughts. Like
we said at Fox Sports Radio on social media, Mike
who runs this place is standing by and Mike who
runs his place.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, looks like Boston. Was that what Jordan's son did?
Did he say like, yeah, I can't make it. I
can't make it in the NBA, So I'm just gonna
bang Pippin's exes.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Did he say I don't know if he used those
words exactly, but yeah, yeah, Now I do want to
talk about your boy, Christian McCaffrey and the beautiful by
the way, they're sickening. Can we point that out? They're gross?
I hate them both, Olivia Coopo, they're gorgeous and they
(32:41):
got married over the weekend. But there were some other
familiar celebrity friends that were there that aren't in the
world of sports. That's what makes it interesting. So we're
gonna talk about the random friendships in sports and entertainment,
and we're gonna get to your phone calls We're gonna
do it next right here live Mercedes Benz Studios, Covino
and Rich The Dan Slam In for the Great Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Thanks again for hanging out with us, putting up with us.
Harold is hitting us up on social media like where's
our Dan Patrick.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
He'll be back.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Enjoyed the Dan Slam while it lasts four shows of
Covenio Rich in for Dan Patrick, and I hope you're
enjoying your first of the month.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
First of the month.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
He'll be on a nice weekend live from Mercedes Benz Studios,
Steve Cavino, Rich Davis, Danny g on the phones atday seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Thanks again, Joel for hanging out with us. Rich.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Before we talk about Christian McCaffrey's wedding and random friendships,
mister Gwynn Barkley says, when it comes to nepotism, yeah,
we do it all for our kids, but on the
outside we always hate people that get a job because
they know someone Why because they didn't earn it, and
they're taking the spot for someone more deserving.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Nothing to do with feelings of Lebron.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Now, what I have to say to that is, yeah,
but the cream rises to the top. You're forgetting the
part where the door may be open for that guy,
and you might have to fight a lot harder. That's fine,
but that dude has to deliver, and if he does,
then he deserves it.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Doesn't he he is good enough? Listen.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
If not, then the cream rise to the top and
you get that opportunity. I'm a firm believer in that.
No one was opening doors for Cavino and Rich we're
on Fox Sports Radio, and for Dan Patrick. It may
have taken a little longer, but in due time, your
hard work pays off. Bronni has to deliver at the
end of the day.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I mean, listen, there's celebrities with kids that it's like, yeah,
it doesn't work out.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I mean, look at Chet Hanks. You a fan of
his I'm a big fan of his. Dad.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Tom Lord Renfro says people don't like Lebron because he's arrogant.
Bronnie doesn't deserve it because he's not good enough. No
one else was gonna draw to him, and just a
lot of feedback disagreeing with what we said, and our
point was, nepotism's kind of done because we would all
do what we could for our kids. He just happens
to be more high profile. And what he did was
(35:12):
he got his son drafted to the Lakers. Don't be
mad that you can't get your kid a job at Applebee's.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
You're just jealous.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, it's a little bit of that, because if you
work hard again, firm believer, I'm.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Gonna I'm gonna move on. Cream rises.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Isn't that what the macho man said, cream rises to
the dream will rise to the top.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
If you're gonna be I'm gonna. I'm gonna tie it
all together.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Buddy boy, A show on Netflix that you said was
a snoozer, then I thought was sort of fun.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Shane Gillis the show Tires, right.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
The whole concept of the show was that this knucklehead
is running a tire shop because his dad owns the
whole company. Nepotism and he going to Shane Gillis, I'm
looking through all the pictures of McCaffrey and Olivia Coulpo's
wedding yea, because I follow her on social media.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I mean his daddy played football, yeah, and got him
all the best training, didn't you, dad.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
So I'm looking through the pictures. My goodness, they're good looking.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I don't want to ask you because I know you
want answer, but I'll ask spot spot Yes. Are they
number one on the list of couples?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
You you would? You'd watch what just.
Speaker 10 (36:35):
I mean McCaffrey does nothing for me, though beautiful, and
we've had her on the show. We've got him both
on the show. Good looking couple.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Oh he's more at the mustache.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Men like schemes and uh to Livy dunt Anyway, so
we got the wedding of this super hot model and
superstar athlete.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
It's the wedding list.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
The guests included models, NFL superstars, and you saw the players, wives,
the kittles and the use checks and you know, everyone
was there having a great time.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And then in the photos, I'm like, wait a.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Minute, I think that's why I tap on the picture
to see it tagged.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I'm like, yeah, that is Shane Gillis.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Comedian Shane Gillis is at the McCaffrey Culpo wedding.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
How didn't you recod you thought that was some like
Lineman or something some.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Random Well no, at first of no, my first thought
was a contrest Shane. No, my first thought was what
is Shane Gillis doing at McCaffrey's wedding.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I'm like, celebrity slapans with each other. It's a big
stroke fest. It's not. It's just out of context a
little bit because he's the only non athlete there. But
it's just a celebrity thing. Shane Gillis is a celebrity.
But I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I noticed it.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I mean I thought it was noticeable because it's like
all these beautiful models, all these big athletes and goofy.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
He asked Shane Gillis, who I love by it? It was jealous.
I'm not invited. It's not like Sidney Sweeney was there
in the photos. It was like, it's Shane Gillis. Yeah, yeah,
I want to say, who was Sidney Sweeney? I'd get it,
spot right. I want to play in the room where
it happens.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Though, that's not It's not that off the mark because again,
there's other random friendships that we could go over in
the world of sports and entertainment, and one of mine
involves an athlete and a comedian.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I think people just love that stroke fest.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
They have that mutual respect for one another because they
both admire what each other does.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I saw a clip from over a year ago Gus.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I actually had to investigate this for a second because
I'm like, how does Shane Gillis?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
He's a top tier comedian in these days. Everyone loves him.
He got fired from SNL before he started, but then watched.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I think Christian McCaffrey's not watching his.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Clips, So I'm like, how does Shane Gillis become friends
with Christian McCaffrey. I'm looking at all the other pictures like, oh,
the Olsens are there. I'm like, okay, they played together
in Carolina. I'm you know, you're connecting the dots all
that that girl modeled with Olivia Shane Gillis. I saw
a clip from about a year and a half ago
(39:10):
and Shane Gillis was hanging out with Burke Kreischer and
they were hanging with Busting with the Boys the Barstool podcast,
and Shane Gillis was so excited to meet McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
He's like, I'm really pumped. I'm I'm a big fan,
and he was fanboying a little bit.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
And then McCaffrey in this little video clip, was like, Yo,
I'm a big fan of you too. And I wonder
if that moment a year and a half ago spurred
a friendship of mutual respect where it's like, yo, you're
my favorite comic. Well, dude, you're my favorite running back.
And here he was a year and a half later.
I'm like, Wow, Gillis and McCaffrey an unlikely duo.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I remember very similar to that story. I remember.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Our pal Sebastian Maniscalco telling us that he was surprised
to find out that JG Watt was a big fan.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Of his JJ wat was that my show?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
And they became buddy chummy as a result, just again
out of mutual respect, mutual.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Mutual admiration, I guess. And guy, he is huge, got
out of his car.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
He was like six foot nine, and they've been front
BFFs ever since. In fact, I think Sebastian left us
for jj Watt, and I would do JJ Watt.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
And Sebastian our pals on social media to again.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Right, And what about what about Snoop and Martha Stewart?
I think that's a really random friendship and a genuine
one just based on mutual respect. Two worlds collide, rival nations, randomness,
worlds are colliding and they get along.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
It works.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Speaking of world's colliding a controversial one. Dennis Rodman and
Kim Chong Un.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
That's that's probably you know what, that's probably the number
one answer on it.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
That might keep the number one. But if you watch
the joke, cool cool under pressure.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
The Joe Montana documentary very similar to the Shane Gillis
McCaffrey story.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Hey Lewis is a big Bay area guy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
Hey Lewis would do the national anthem for the forty
nine Ers, and every time he would go there, him
and Joe Montana had this little bromance where.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
They have that butt schin connection, you know what I mean. Like,
I think they were cut from the seeing butt chin cloth.
They have a vibe, right. I think if you put
Huey Lewis in a forty nine Ers jersey, he kind
of looks like Joe Montana.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Well, Huey Lewis was like, yo, Joe Montana, I'm a
huge fan of Montana. In the eighties, was like, yo,
I'm a huge Chilley Lewis fan and they had a
pretty solid friendship. In fact, Joe Montana is background vocals.
It's a true story. Hip to B Square. The background
vocals are done by a bunch of random forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
That's the true story.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
So random friendships in the world of sports and entertainment
based on McCaffrey and Gillis. You want to add to it,
hit us at Covino and rich A right again, all
right to reap adert you baby, see you in the

All yeah, Well, in a second, we're going to talk
to him, the man of the hour, the guy that
we talked about every fourth of July.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Joey Chestnup. But co mean, I one thought.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I looked this up and there's no real answer as
to why everyone passed on Aaron Judge back in the day,
because he's doing just remarkable things in baseball now.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The only thing I could take.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Out of it is he was six 't seven, skinny
and struck out a lot. But even when he was
drafted by the Yankees, you know what the sentiment was.
The sentiment was Aaron Judge, he probably won't have him
played for the Yankees because they have such a deep roster.
His agent said, don't get too comfortable with the pinstripes.
You're probably not gonna stay here. And that's exactly what
(01:09):
was said to Aaron Judge back in the day.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
All right, well, without further ado, let's not make the legend. Wait,
it's that Joey Chestnut time of the year, everybody, So
with glory and renown, we have a surprise guest visit
from the Man, the mid the Legend. Let's welcome Fox
Sports Radio Nation. I'm building it up. You like this
build up, Joey Chestnut, Welcome Bay.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Oh, get on with you guys.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, man, congrats on everything. I want to talk about
what's going on this weekend and all the news. But
what's it like for you when you're Joey Chestnut and
you just open up social media or just Google news
and you see stories about yourself everywhere?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Do you read them? Do you care? Do you get
excited about that?
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah? I care? It's the Holding's crazy and I uh,
this whole it's been a wild ride and I'm still
loving competitive eating and I don't know where it's gonna
take me, but I'm I'm all in.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
Hey, Joey does the Nathan's Contest even matter now that
you're not in it, is it like just sort of
does it have any credit with no Joey Chestnut in it?
Speaker 5 (02:15):
I mean, it's it's still an awesome contest fourth of July.
It's the way people celebrate that. People celebrate for the
July competitive eating and they love a hot dog. So
it definitely has the place in my heart. But dude,
they kind of banned me for a reason that then
don't still don't make sense. I mean, they can twist
(02:36):
and turn it, but uh, they've changed the terms of
our agreement and they uh, and they banned me leaguing
conversations and uh, that's the way it went.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Do you think they're gonna feel the impact and your
value because you were sort of the height, You were
the hype man and reason most people tuned in. So
is there a part of you that wants them to
miss you? Was like, you don't want them to carry
on and do great without you? Right, So what are
your feelings about that?
Speaker 5 (03:02):
Yeah, it's a it's like a weird breakup. As soon
as a girlfriend says they don't want to be with
you anymore, Like, oh good luck, I'm not I'm not
trying to make them regret it. I'm moving on and
I'm I'm I'm having a great time. I'm just gonna
celebrate for July and I'm gonna still be eating hot dogs.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
You know, it's, uh, the analogy of the breakup's good
because when you break up, you're like, yeah, I wish
you well, but not too well.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
And and what's what's interesting.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
It's like I'm selling it for Dan Patrick. I'm sure
he wants us to do well, but not that great.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Not that right.
Speaker 4 (03:38):
Joey, would you say have all your highlights back in
the day in the world of competitive eating. We were
talking about this just the other day mid contest when
some guy jumped on stage and you like, stiffed arm.
You stiff armed him mid hot dog. Do you feel
like that's your best? Is that your coolest moment?
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Oh? That was that was one of the wildest moments.
It didn't make sense. I had a broken leg at
the time, and uh it was. It was crazy. Yeah,
I remember thinking to do what's happened? And once once
that timer starts, that doesn't stop. So I had to
get back to eating and pull out the way.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
You know what I love about that you're in your
zone right, Like, you're so in your zone and it
was just a natural reaction because most people don't know
how they would react in the moment, and your natural
reaction was that of an action star. So I give
you a lot of credit for that, Joey Chestnut the badass,
because I don't know what I would have been in
that moment.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
I really don't ask them to ly who knows.
Speaker 5 (04:33):
I'm sure you would have done it because I, like,
I've been training for the event for almost two months
and I wasn't gonna let anybody get in between me
and the dogs.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now, now let's break this down.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Because we heard that you weren't doing the Nathan's Competition, right,
we heard this, But then a few weeks before, maybe
even about a month before, we heard that Kobe Yashi
was retiring to focus on his health. Then out of
nowhere we read, you guys are doing in this big
Netflix special.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Was that Labor day? Weekend? Labor day? You're doing this
Netflix deal?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
So a part of me, and I'm just saying how
I felt in that moment, felt like, what did he
have this up his sleeve the whole time?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
How did that work? Give us the scoop?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah, we've been working on. Me and Kobe actually been
talking for over a year and trying trying to figure
out a way to do it. And he he had
a falling out with Major League Eating and Nathan's years ago,
and I was I was hopeful there was a way
we could all I could do this event and and
uh and I was excited. It's uh, it's uh, dude,
(05:37):
at the big deal? Is this like my biggest rivalry,
my biggest rival ever?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Does he have a shot?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Like I know, he's your greatest competition, He's one of
the biggest names out there, But in reality, does he
have a chance to beat you?
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Oh my god, I don't want to. There's one person
crazy enough to do it, to push themselves to that
crazy limit. It's him. And like you said, he was
putting out with this information like he was going to retire,
and that came out right because he was also Uh.
It took him a while to sign the contract, and
then then he told his manager and told my management
(06:14):
he's all in and he's trying to go for records,
And uh, I believe that way more than believing that
he was ever close to retiring.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
Joey.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
This is you know, your own personal, private sort of deal.
But I'm imagining your Netflix deal to do this was big.
Does it matter how many people watch? Or did they
just work out one sort of contract with you?
Speaker 5 (06:38):
You know, I'm not usually I don't don't talk about contract,
but it is uh yeah, it's a at a. I
think there's a prize involved, which is will be the
biggest prize in competitive meetings.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Cool okay, and uh.
Speaker 5 (06:55):
Yeah, this is the biggest showdown ever and it's uh
and and Netflix is not messing around. They They're They're
making this biggest hot hot dog eating contest ever.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Only time, I mean Netflix got the cash.
Speaker 4 (07:08):
So I can only imagine Joey Chestnut hanging with Camino
on Richie on Fox Sports Radio. Now, you said, Kobyashi,
and you both have beef no pun attended with competitive
eating with the major league eating. That would be like
the NFL saying, yo, mahomes Josh Allen like, yeah, we
don't need you.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
A big mistake. Is there someone still in that.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
World that you that that maybe you mentored or something like,
is there an up and comer? Because I don't know
anyone besides you, Kobyashi. I remember back in the day
we interviewed a guy crazy Legs Kanti. Is there like
some new guy that anyone should have been looking out for?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
You know, there's some awesome eaters. There's the guy out
of Australia. He's very very good. This guy any of
the sweetheart good dude. I would hate to see the
Mustard belt leave America, but there's a very good chance
he'll be going. It'll be going to Australia. There's a
guy out of Boston, very very good dude. Jeff and
(08:00):
Jeff Esper. Nice guy. He's capable of a mid fIF season.
And it's one of the things I'm talking to these
guys and now that I'm not there, they feel like
it's time for them to they can hopefully get their
personal best and uh and I understand that they can
feel like they can spread their wings because they have
(08:21):
a chance.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
We now remember reading that Esper said if he won,
he'd put an asterisk next to the victory because he
wasn't competing against the best.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That had to make you feel good.
Speaker 5 (08:34):
He's a great dude. He's a class act and he man.
We messaged each other and I'm i a spot for him.
He's a nice guy.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
Hey, Joey second in line as far as like, we
get excited about the hot dog contests and everything, So
what's second after that? As far as competition in major
league eating? What's the next big thing that you think
might blow up? After hot dogs?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Oh? After hot dogs? They just had a bloone eating
contest in May and it was pretty awesome. They actually
almost got it on the ESPN.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Which might have the all time record. Didn't you go
up just eating blooney sandwiches?
Speaker 5 (09:15):
Rich?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Well, dude, I think I hold the record in nineteen
eighty nine third grade. Yeah, record, that's all I was
mom made for.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Yeah, Joey, let me ask you this, if you are
to recommend the right way to eat a hot dog, like,
if you're not you know, dipping them in water and
you know, shoving them down your throat, you know, winning
records and money and breaking all these you know, breaking
these records? Are you grilling it on the barbecue? Do
you like a boiled hot dog? Or is that grossy?
Like if you would actually try to enjoy a dog,
(09:42):
how does Joey chest not eat it?
Speaker 2 (09:43):
And what do you put on it? Mustard?
Speaker 4 (09:45):
Ketchup relish some of those red New York City onions, Like,
what's a Joey chest not perfect dog?
Speaker 5 (09:50):
Yeah, I'm a boiled hot dog. Grinds my gears, I love.
I love a flattop griddle, I'll do. I like charcoal
a grill, all though we can taste the charcoal a
little bit, uh topping nims mustard, I'll get. I love
going southern California getting getting the street dogs wrapped in
bacon with with onions and peppers and even mayonnaise on there.
(10:15):
I uh yes, I love to eat and but yeah,
you're absolutely right for pleasure. I'm not dipping those things
in water.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did you cuts in them when you're you're grilling them?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Do you cut slits at the end or like, you know,
do you have a special technique we should try out
this holiday weekend?
Speaker 5 (10:30):
No, I cutting slipped in. That's that's our shelter. You
want flowers on there too?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Thank you, Joey Chestnut, Hey, Joey, tell us about what's
going on at Fort Bliss.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
Oh yeah, yeah. So after I got uh told I
can compete on at Coney Island, Fort Bliss reached out.
I've been doing some uh some work with the military
in the past, and they reached out and invited me to. Therefore,
there's life deleberation. So I'm going out to El Paso,
gonna be eating hot dogs against a group of soldiers,
all beef hot dogs, and uh, it's gonna be great.
(11:10):
I'm gonna be pushing hard and dude, on top of that,
my partner impossible. They're gonna be donating one thousand dollars
to Operation Homeland for every every hot dog I eat.
And there it's gonna be yeah, yeah, there'll be don't
Oh my god, I'm gonna be put down at least
fifty hot dogs in those five minutes.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Dude, that's awesome, awesome, Yeah, that's cool to have something
to check out this weekend.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
Joey, let me let me ask you one thing about
the impossible Nathan's relationship or lack thereof. Tell us how
it actually did go down. Was it did your company
did Impossible Foods? They say, hey, listen, we're we're open
to this, we're okay within competing, and Nathan's was the
one that shut it down.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
Like what was the detail that sort of blew this?
Speaker 5 (11:55):
Yeah, well, my relationship is Impossiblely, it goes back a
little while because I I've told people for years and
years that after I, after I eat tons of hot
dogs or tons of blowny, I am on a super
clean diet and and I do meatless mondays and so
so it was it was kind of a natural thing.
I can't eat eat pounds and pounds of meat every
(12:17):
day and and I uh, and I enjoy impossible products
and impossible it's it's different enough from from hot dogs,
and that it wasn't it was never part of it
was never excluded any of my agreements with Withnthans, Nathan's
and Madally Eating and well, as soon as they found
out that I was working with them, they they said, no, no,
(12:39):
you have to you have to cancel that agreement. They
were very controlling and then uh, then they started leaking
things to the press media saying I was vegan, and
it was it was, it was. It was weird the
way they handle it. And uh, most people can say, well,
you know, a plant based hot dog is not the
same as I'll be a hot dogs, and they shouldn't.
(13:01):
They shouldn't feel so threatened.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
I have two more questions for you, Joey bummer man.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
It is a bummer man, but you know what I'm
glad we still get to see you this weekend. Since
you're talking about hot dogs and vegan hot dogs and
blooney and all these crazy things you eat. Have you
ever had I'm from Jersey. Have you ever had Tailor Ham?
Are you a fan of Tailor Ham?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Some cool it? Pork roll?
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Oh my god? Yeah, well pork roll? Yeah, I hold
the record for in southern I no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Let's be clear.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I'm from Jersey. I hold the record in pork roll sandwiches.
But I'm just kidding. But do you like it?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
I love it? You know, it grills up nice and
and it's that perfect degree of fat and oily and salty.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Oh yeah, no, it's so great. I'm so gy.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
What other records? A lot of people here wondering what
other records do you hold?
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Oh dude, I have some awesome ones. So that guy
I said that blooney one for Elmhill baloney. That was
fourteen pounds of blowney and eight minutes, thirteen pounds the
rib meat and twelve minutes. And one of my favorites
is harbored eggs. One hundred and forty one horrible days,
eight minutes.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
That's that's amazing, dude. And you know what, that's absurd.
Did you hear that? Dude?
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I can't imagine, because you know what, we all did
some damage this past weekend and we're probably going to
do that again this holiday we can coming up. So
my last question for Joey Chestnut here on the Cavino
and Rich Show and for DP is how do you
balance that out? Like, you know, we've met you a
few times. You're in great shape, but what's your gym
routine like to balance out all this damage you do?
Speaker 7 (14:37):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (14:37):
The big the biggest thing is cutting calories before and
after as soon as soon as I can start eating
a super high fiber diet in greens, no sugar, and
it's it's sucks. I even have to stop bringing beer
afterward because as soon as I start having carved that's
when the weight really stays on me. But if I
clean afterwards, I can I can lean back to my
(14:59):
normal waiting about four days. And uh, yeah, it takes
it takes a little bit of a discipline to make
sure that, uh that wait doesn't stay on me. And
uh because if I if I start getting weight every weekend,
then I start losing contests and and Uh, it's losing sucks.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
Hey, Joey, I gotta ask because we we bumped into
uh all, you know, back in serious XM days. I
remember one year I hosted a Hooters pageant and you
and Covino were two of the judges. You, I, do
you feel like I feel like everywhere I go people
love to talk to Joey Chessna. Do you love your
level fame where you're not like some A list guy.
Everyone's just sort of like, but they know who you are, Like, Hey,
(15:38):
Joey Chesna, do you sort of love that pocket?
Speaker 5 (15:41):
Oh, it's it's a great pocket. Because there are critics
of competitive eating, and very few of those critics ever
recognized me. And it's not like like we're a regular athlete.
Like Charles Barkley. There's people who hate him and then
they yell at him and you have to get in
a fight. Usually the people who hate competitiviating don't don't
don't ever let they don't recognize me, and I don't
have to get fights about it. Uh, it's only it's
(16:02):
a great dudes, and uh, and it's easily a party
and we get to talk about food.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
Well, it's always a pleasure running into you and having
you on the show.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
And I want to say this. You know, we often
talk about.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Goats, Tom Brady's, Michael Jordan's, but there's some people that
are left out of the conversation.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
You know, who brings up Michael Phelps.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Not too many people, right, you want to talk about
Gretzky moving forward, Guys, especially around this time of year,
we always got to remember there's only one Joey Chestnut
and he is the goat, and he's on our show.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
And we thank you very much man, look forward to
show this weekend.
Speaker 5 (16:37):
Oh, thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
No, thank you Man so again, catch man cot pliss
El Paso. And again we're really happy Danny G got
him on the line this morning. As you know, Uh,
he's a regular in the fifth hour of Ben Mallor
and we were glad to spend a few minutes with
Joey Chestnut LBP show.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Because of that. I don't know if you know the
deal Danny G made.
Speaker 4 (16:59):
You now have to compete against Ben Mallard in a
hoto getting hot test.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Yes, I don't know who's got that one. I don't know.
Speaker 7 (17:07):
Oh, Ben, he's on these fasts for like sometimes half
a week, it seems like, really yeah, I think Covino
could take him out unless Ben is just coming off
his last fast.
Speaker 5 (17:17):
Yo.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Ben is a big boy man. And again we borrow
the mean he's moneyball Mallard. Do you have a nickname
like that? You mean moneyball mal People call him moneyball
mat and we borrow disappearance from Moneyball Mallard. And again
thanks again to Danny g and Ben for letting us
have Joey Chestnut here for this moment, because again every
day there's like breaking news on Joey Chestnut and we
(17:39):
share that with you today.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
So something to look forward to in the world of.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Competitive eating and all the controversy surrounding it, you know what.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Not talking out of both sides of my mouth.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
I take it back, because he's eating beef dogs on
the fourth of July. They're not vegan dog. He is
the goat and for you know, I do make fun
of El Passo. Sorry, I'll passo. But from what Joey
chestnutt described, it does seems like it does seem like Nathan's.
It's clear they're the ones that sort of we're reluctant
to let this happen, like if impossible Foods and Joey
(18:12):
Chessnut were like, hey, listen, I'll still do it. I
want to do it. And Nathan's took like a weird
hard stand, like we're not doing it, Like aren't they
Like aren't they screwing themselves over?
Speaker 3 (18:23):
In a bit obviously, because I don't think it's much
of a he wants to not put it down because
it meant so much to him and it built his career.
But it's not much of a competition without Joey Chestnut Man,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
No doubt.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
I will listen.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We have plenty to get to here. On Covino and rich.
Speaker 4 (18:42):
Listen, there's a hilarious guest that attended a sports wedding
over the weekend, and I want to talk about unlikely
friendships in the world of sports and entertainment.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We'll get to that.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Plus some big trades already going down, not trades, more
free agent signings in the NBA. So a little NBA,
little football, a little of everything. Fourth of July week

CNR on FSR, Covino and Rich and for Dan Patrick,
the Dan Slam Day one of four shows. Very excited
about it, Live from the Mercedes Benz Studios. I'm Cavino,
that is, Joel and Danny Gee are here spots on
the videos at Covino and Rich eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Thanks again to the Goat Joey Chesna
(20:08):
and I met what I said. I'm not a big
fan of competitive eating, but you got to acknowledge the
guy is the goat, and he rarely comes up in
goat conversations unless, of course, you're talking about competitive eating specifically.
There's a few guys we often leave out rich Can
I just name a few because we always talk Muhammad Ali,
we always talk Lebron or Jordan, that's a forever debate.
(20:29):
We always say Tom Brady. It's always the same names
in the goat conversation. I mentioned Michael Phelps. People fail
to bring him up, and I think he's the goat.
Tony Hawk, I think, is another one that no one
ever brings up in the conversation unless of course you're
talking specifically skateboarding. But it's a big deal. He put
it on the map. He's the goat. And I'm gonna
(20:53):
throw two more out there. You can be like, really,
I'm gonna say, well, Dana White says Jones is the goat,
but I'm going back. I'm given for what he did
for martial arts period, Bruce Lee, an Evil Knieveld, motocross
and everything else, So I'm saying they don't get the
credit they deserve. And of course the great Joey Chestnut.
(21:17):
Just more names for the goat conversation. Tiger Woods. We
don't bring him up enough.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Probably.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
I mean, listen, there are certain things that are subjective.
There's other things that are just fact right, and you
just named a lot of athletes that recognized enough or not.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
Are the goats.
Speaker 4 (21:31):
I want to throw one out there in the world
of music, because you're thinking, what rich hip hop, country pop? No, no, no,
there's a goat that I don't think gets enough credit
because we're so used to talking about the mainstream music,
like you said, rock or hip hop pop. John Williams,
all the scores he has given us for all of
our favorite movies, there is no one close. There's other
(21:51):
names in that world. There's other names in that world.
But everything every movie that you've ever watched, there's a
good chance at the Bill Conti is good, dude, but
Bell Cone, They're all good.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
But if you looked at the movies, no, it's insane
that John Williams.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Yeah, everything from What E T Two, Indiana Jones, Indiana Jones,
and Jaws, and it's every major theme.
Speaker 2 (22:17):
It really is incredible. It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (22:20):
But thanks again to Joey chest Nut, look out for
him this weekend in l Passo.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
That's where Rich is by right now. Riches in Texas.
Speaker 6 (22:27):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
The rest of the show here in Los Angeles again
live from Mercedes Benz Studios. And Rich, I saw one
of your boys got married this weekend.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Want to I want to talk all about it because
there was a very interesting guest at the McCaffrey Culpo wedding.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But I didn't want to bring up one thing we
talked about last week.
Speaker 4 (22:49):
Let me just let me just get this out there, Kavino,
get off my chest, because we did talk about Brownie
James and how we should all be thrilled. We should
all be like, Yo, what a great story. Father's son.
When it was Griffy and Griffy Junior, we were like
enamored it. We loved it everything about it. Oh my god,
(23:09):
father's son get to play together. Because everyone hates Lebron
the sentiment is simply you don't like Lebron, just say
because otherwise you would love everything about this father and
son getting to play together. I just wanted to point
out that Nick Van Exel said that he is super
excited for Bronni to be wearing his old number nine.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
With the Lakers.
Speaker 4 (23:28):
Just want to throw it out there, because everyone seems
to be a damn critic and nepotism is like this
hot topic in the world of sports. And since I
know we didn't want to get into it more than that,
I just want to say even Nick Van Exel is excited,
because we should all be excited, because I'm stupid.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
The word doesn't even sound like what it is, to
be honest, it's a weird word, and I think it's odd.
I believe if you listen to the promos we play
here on Fox Sports. I know it's different everywhere depending
on where you're listening, but we played his clip from
Jason Smith and Mike Harmon just leading into this, and
he's talking about he would do anything and most likely
(24:07):
we would do anything to help our kids.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And that's sort of the goal.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Aren't we all working to provide a better life for
our kids? Everybody, you're trying to get them into that school,
you're trying to pave away, You're trying to be better
than the previous generation to help your kids out. Isn't
that the name of the game. So when you see
Lebron doing it. I saw another meme too. It said, hey,
just be cause you can't get your kid a job
at Walmart or FedEx, you know, depending on the meme.
(24:34):
You know, don't be mad at Lebron James. Look, he's
doing what everybody who has kids would do and is
doing or trying to do for their kids. It's not
like he's breaking any rules or laws trying to do it.
Everybody does it.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
We all do it.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
And how is it that we said this last week
on our show. How is it any different than you
growing up? Your dad's a contractor, he owns this big
construction company. Now you work for the company. The only
thing that makes it diff is that is high profile basketball. Yeah,
and that's it really Yeah. I mean, dude, you said,
we try to do what we can't legally.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
I was even gonna mention, like people have done it illegally,
and I don't really blame him as much as other people.
Like when Aunt Becky Lori Laughlin like went to jail
because she lied about her kids college stuff.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
I get it she broke the law.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
But she said law with the specifically to I know,
but no, But what I'm saying is even people that
did it illegally. My point is we all would do
anything for our kids. I'm watching your Honor on Netflix,
The Brian Cranston Show, and My what.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
You would do for your kids? What would what you
would do for your daughter? Melody?
Speaker 4 (25:41):
I can't even imagine. So when people are mad about
Bronni and Lebron.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
I'll tell you what. I've built a career, Believe it
or not. This is a career, guys.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
You know over twenty years, twenty five plus years of broadcasting.
So you better believe if my kid wanted to get
involved in entertainment, I would use every connection.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
Possible to help her out.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Dude, isn't that what does when they yeah, again, when
you're trying to help your kid out. Isn't it's all
based on hate for Lebron period?
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (26:13):
But isn't some of this that say, if Brownie was
six ' nine, two sixty and had dominated we rally
wouldn't be having this big a problem. We'd be like
him in the league.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
You know what, I think they still would because I
think the majority of this sentiment and this hate for
this situation comes from the fact that they don't like Lebron.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
So even if his kid was.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Like deserving on a different level and he was a
monster at sixty nine, I think people would still have
something to say about it only because it's Lebron. Because
it happens in other places and no one blinks an eye,
but because it's Lebron, it's a big deal.
Speaker 10 (26:45):
You just I've seen a ton of I mean, I
guess you would consider the memes, but they're just comparisons
with like Bronni's stats versus a couple players that weren't
even drafted.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, well, now sells more tickets, man, I know.
Speaker 7 (26:56):
Well, plus his workout when they collected the stats, a
forty one inch vertical at that height, and so it's
not like he's not athletics' sid potential, right, and no,
potentially they had him take the twenty five threes. He
made twenty of the twenty five.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
It's a it's a gamble. It's a Cavino at twenty
four hour fitness in Woodland Hills.
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Yeah, so could I but again, yeah, with no hand,
with no hand in his space?
Speaker 7 (27:21):
Rich, what happens when a hand goes in Covino space?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (27:24):
We known, Covino's the best horse player in the in
the valley, the mini you guard him, he's he's got
a twelve percent percent.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I retired.
Speaker 3 (27:33):
I retired at Horace. I haven't played until Netflix gives
me a special. I'm I retired.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
He's left handed.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
But yeah, I'm over that. As stupid as this sounds,
nepotism is stupid. I wrap it up by saying that
because we all would do everything we could for our kids, everybody,
no doubt, no doubt.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
I didn't want to de rally with that.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
I know we want to talk about this, and you
wouldn't have, but you did, and it's okay.
Speaker 2 (27:58):
I guess I'm I guess I'm not. I guess I'm not.
I'm to be rich.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Millions of people, all right, I'm not sorry even a
little there you go. But I but I, but I
but we had planned on talk about McCaffrey and I
just threw that at you. But but I knew you
had thoughts on it because there's so many parents listening,
and they're all hypocrites because every like you said, everything
you do from trying to get your kid into a
school or getting your kid internship.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
You give a great example.
Speaker 4 (28:22):
Your daughter super super gifted when it comes to like
artistic ability. If she wanted to be a singer songwriter.
You're trying to tell me Cavino, who worked in radio
the last twenty years. Whenning call all the people he
knows at record labels, you'd be stupid not to.
Speaker 8 (28:35):
That's why we're working hard so that we can help
our kids along the way and be better for them.
Every every time you God Roman, dude, we got to
a plaud that he was able to create a path
for his beautiful family, that his greatness was able to
provide this.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
He's gonna be the first father son duo. It's something
that we should embrace.
Speaker 2 (28:56):
And it's all BS.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
Yeah, I agree, because he got even drafted exactly, this
insane is getting picked up.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
He got drafted. It's all BS.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
Because again, every time you ask a grown man or
a woman, what do you do it all for?
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Everyone has the same answer.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
I want to provide the life for my kids that
maybe I didn't have, or I want to give my
kids everything. So here's a here's a man who has
kept his nose cleaned, has been a hero that's been
hated under the microscope. He has the basketball and and
he he looks out for his kid and we're like,
(29:33):
I don't know what you would do, Yamron, what you
would do? No one cared when washed Old Griffy Senior
was taken by the Mariners for that special story, washed
old ass Griffy Senior. But he was done by that.
It was the story was nice, but Griffy Senor looked like.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Washed. He washed old ass. Gotta be grif Listen, I'm
just saying.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
You've seen the videos where when they went back to back,
I was like, yeah, I didn't know Griffy still was
you know, could still do that?
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah? Can Griffy Senior's feet like they were hurting as
he rounded the basis around the basis.
Speaker 5 (30:12):
It looks like.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
I was a big fan of his.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
So your thoughts, you you could add to it at
Covino and Rich at Fox Sports Radio or like we
said eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and we
understand people don't like the story.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
We get it. I mean we see the feedback.
Speaker 3 (30:31):
But I'm telling you it's all rooted in hate for
Lebron James, simple as that. And if you would just
own up to that, then fine, we can have a
conversation about it.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
What if he really sucks and then he won't play spot?
Speaker 10 (30:46):
Okay, Yeah, I mean that's the thing with it, isn't
that the the isn't the whole reason kind.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Of the world.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
It's up to that person now to seese that moment
kind of, but to like make it sort of like
a spectacle, like to have the father son playing together.
If it's just a mediocre, lackluster season, bring him up
for the n season tournament. It's gonna make Lebron look bad.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
But spot, I'll give you an example. We talked about
opening doors. Like I saw recently, Emma Roberts was saying that, Yo,
everyone criticizes her because she's Julia Roberts niece, but no
one points out how Clooney's grandmother was like a superstar
back in old Hollywood. You know, Billy Joel's daughter is
a talented musician. But guess what the world decided. Yeah,
I didn't really care about her songs. You like her dad,
and it's you know, you can't you won't stay around
(31:31):
if you don't have the goods.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
Yeah, they have to deliver, and there might be more
pressure on that, but did he really have the goods
in the first place.
Speaker 9 (31:40):
There was a lot of pressure on Jordan's kids because
you know, when he was getting recruited, like one of
the stipulations is you have to become a Nike school
and you're an Adidas school.
Speaker 10 (31:50):
Yeah, and he couldn't cut it, so he dated his
teammates mom, teammate's wife.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
That's wife for that spot. So shery your thoughts. Like
we said at Fox Sports Radio on social media, Mike
who runs this place is standing by and Mike who
runs his place.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Yeah, looks like Boston. Was that what Jordan's son did?
Did he say like, yeah, I can't make it. I
can't make it in the NBA, So I'm just gonna
bang Pippin's exes.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Did he say I don't know if he used those
words exactly, but yeah, yeah, Now I do want to
talk about your boy, Christian McCaffrey and the beautiful by
the way, they're sickening. Can we point that out? They're gross?
I hate them both, Olivia Coopo, they're gorgeous and they
(32:41):
got married over the weekend. But there were some other
familiar celebrity friends that were there that aren't in the
world of sports. That's what makes it interesting. So we're
gonna talk about the random friendships in sports and entertainment,
and we're gonna get to your phone calls We're gonna
do it next right here live Mercedes Benz Studios, Covino
and Rich The Dan Slam In for the Great Dan Patrick.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio WAPP.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Thanks again for hanging out with us, putting up with us.
Harold is hitting us up on social media like where's
our Dan Patrick.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
He'll be back.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Enjoyed the Dan Slam while it lasts four shows of
Covenio Rich in for Dan Patrick, and I hope you're
enjoying your first of the month.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
First of the month.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
He'll be on a nice weekend live from Mercedes Benz Studios,
Steve Cavino, Rich Davis, Danny g on the phones atday seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox.
Speaker 2 (33:43):
Thanks again, Joel for hanging out with us. Rich.
Speaker 3 (33:45):
Before we talk about Christian McCaffrey's wedding and random friendships,
mister Gwynn Barkley says, when it comes to nepotism, yeah,
we do it all for our kids, but on the
outside we always hate people that get a job because
they know someone Why because they didn't earn it, and
they're taking the spot for someone more deserving.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
Nothing to do with feelings of Lebron.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Now, what I have to say to that is, yeah,
but the cream rises to the top. You're forgetting the
part where the door may be open for that guy,
and you might have to fight a lot harder. That's fine,
but that dude has to deliver, and if he does,
then he deserves it.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Doesn't he he is good enough? Listen.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
If not, then the cream rise to the top and
you get that opportunity. I'm a firm believer in that.
No one was opening doors for Cavino and Rich we're
on Fox Sports Radio, and for Dan Patrick. It may
have taken a little longer, but in due time, your
hard work pays off. Bronni has to deliver at the
end of the day.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
I mean, listen, there's celebrities with kids that it's like, yeah,
it doesn't work out.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
I mean, look at Chet Hanks. You a fan of
his I'm a big fan of his. Dad.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
Tom Lord Renfro says people don't like Lebron because he's arrogant.
Bronnie doesn't deserve it because he's not good enough. No
one else was gonna draw to him, and just a
lot of feedback disagreeing with what we said, and our
point was, nepotism's kind of done because we would all
do what we could for our kids. He just happens
to be more high profile. And what he did was
(35:12):
he got his son drafted to the Lakers. Don't be
mad that you can't get your kid a job at Applebee's.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
You're just jealous.
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, it's a little bit of that, because if you
work hard again, firm believer, I'm.
Speaker 2 (35:25):
Gonna I'm gonna move on. Cream rises.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
Isn't that what the macho man said, cream rises to
the dream will rise to the top.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
If you're gonna be I'm gonna. I'm gonna tie it
all together.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
Buddy boy, A show on Netflix that you said was
a snoozer, then I thought was sort of fun.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Shane Gillis the show Tires, right.
Speaker 4 (35:49):
The whole concept of the show was that this knucklehead
is running a tire shop because his dad owns the
whole company. Nepotism and he going to Shane Gillis, I'm
looking through all the pictures of McCaffrey and Olivia Coulpo's
wedding yea, because I follow her on social media.
Speaker 3 (36:10):
I mean his daddy played football, yeah, and got him
all the best training, didn't you, dad.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
So I'm looking through the pictures. My goodness, they're good looking.
Speaker 4 (36:23):
I don't want to ask you because I know you
want answer, but I'll ask spot spot Yes. Are they
number one on the list of couples?
Speaker 2 (36:30):
You you would? You'd watch what just.
Speaker 10 (36:35):
I mean McCaffrey does nothing for me, though beautiful, and
we've had her on the show. We've got him both
on the show. Good looking couple.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
Oh he's more at the mustache.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
Men like schemes and uh to Livy dunt Anyway, so
we got the wedding of this super hot model and
superstar athlete.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
It's the wedding list.
Speaker 4 (37:02):
The guests included models, NFL superstars, and you saw the players, wives,
the kittles and the use checks and you know, everyone
was there having a great time.
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And then in the photos, I'm like, wait a.
Speaker 4 (37:16):
Minute, I think that's why I tap on the picture
to see it tagged.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
I'm like, yeah, that is Shane Gillis.
Speaker 4 (37:22):
Comedian Shane Gillis is at the McCaffrey Culpo wedding.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
How didn't you recod you thought that was some like
Lineman or something some.
Speaker 4 (37:30):
Random Well no, at first of no, my first thought
was a contrest Shane. No, my first thought was what
is Shane Gillis doing at McCaffrey's wedding.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
I'm like, celebrity slapans with each other. It's a big
stroke fest. It's not. It's just out of context a
little bit because he's the only non athlete there. But
it's just a celebrity thing. Shane Gillis is a celebrity.
But I'm with you.
Speaker 2 (37:52):
I noticed it.
Speaker 4 (37:54):
I mean I thought it was noticeable because it's like
all these beautiful models, all these big athletes and goofy.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
He asked Shane Gillis, who I love by it? It was jealous.
I'm not invited. It's not like Sidney Sweeney was there
in the photos. It was like, it's Shane Gillis. Yeah, yeah,
I want to say, who was Sidney Sweeney? I'd get it,
spot right. I want to play in the room where
it happens.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
Though, that's not It's not that off the mark because again,
there's other random friendships that we could go over in
the world of sports and entertainment, and one of mine
involves an athlete and a comedian.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
I think people just love that stroke fest.
Speaker 3 (38:26):
They have that mutual respect for one another because they
both admire what each other does.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I saw a clip from over a year ago Gus.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I actually had to investigate this for a second because
I'm like, how does Shane Gillis?
Speaker 2 (38:40):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (38:41):
He's a top tier comedian in these days. Everyone loves him.
He got fired from SNL before he started, but then watched.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
I think Christian McCaffrey's not watching his.
Speaker 4 (38:49):
Clips, So I'm like, how does Shane Gillis become friends
with Christian McCaffrey. I'm looking at all the other pictures like, oh,
the Olsens are there. I'm like, okay, they played together
in Carolina. I'm you know, you're connecting the dots all
that that girl modeled with Olivia Shane Gillis. I saw
a clip from about a year and a half ago
(39:10):
and Shane Gillis was hanging out with Burke Kreischer and
they were hanging with Busting with the Boys the Barstool podcast,
and Shane Gillis was so excited to meet McCaffrey.
Speaker 2 (39:22):
He's like, I'm really pumped. I'm I'm a big fan,
and he was fanboying a little bit.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
And then McCaffrey in this little video clip, was like, Yo,
I'm a big fan of you too. And I wonder
if that moment a year and a half ago spurred
a friendship of mutual respect where it's like, yo, you're
my favorite comic. Well, dude, you're my favorite running back.
And here he was a year and a half later.
I'm like, Wow, Gillis and McCaffrey an unlikely duo.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I remember very similar to that story. I remember.
Speaker 3 (39:50):
Our pal Sebastian Maniscalco telling us that he was surprised
to find out that JG Watt was a big fan.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Of his JJ wat was that my show?
Speaker 3 (40:02):
And they became buddy chummy as a result, just again
out of mutual respect, mutual.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Mutual admiration, I guess. And guy, he is huge, got
out of his car.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
He was like six foot nine, and they've been front
BFFs ever since. In fact, I think Sebastian left us
for jj Watt, and I would do JJ Watt.
Speaker 2 (40:26):
And Sebastian our pals on social media to again.
Speaker 3 (40:29):
Right, And what about what about Snoop and Martha Stewart?
I think that's a really random friendship and a genuine
one just based on mutual respect. Two worlds collide, rival nations, randomness,
worlds are colliding and they get along.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
It works.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
Speaking of world's colliding a controversial one. Dennis Rodman and
Kim Chong Un.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
That's that's probably you know what, that's probably the number
one answer on it.
Speaker 4 (40:55):
That might keep the number one. But if you watch
the joke, cool cool under pressure.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
Sure.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
The Joe Montana documentary very similar to the Shane Gillis
McCaffrey story.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
Hey Lewis is a big Bay area guy. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
Hey Lewis would do the national anthem for the forty
nine Ers, and every time he would go there, him
and Joe Montana had this little bromance where.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
They have that butt schin connection, you know what I mean. Like,
I think they were cut from the seeing butt chin cloth.
They have a vibe, right. I think if you put
Huey Lewis in a forty nine Ers jersey, he kind
of looks like Joe Montana.
Speaker 4 (41:27):
Well, Huey Lewis was like, yo, Joe Montana, I'm a
huge fan of Montana. In the eighties, was like, yo,
I'm a huge Chilley Lewis fan and they had a
pretty solid friendship. In fact, Joe Montana is background vocals.
It's a true story. Hip to B Square. The background
vocals are done by a bunch of random forty nine ers.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
That's the true story.
Speaker 3 (41:50):
So random friendships in the world of sports and entertainment
based on McCaffrey and Gillis. You want to add to it,
hit us at Covino and rich A right again, all
right to reap adert you baby, see you in the
Promised Land.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
Thank you, guys.
