to win some prizes, stick around, fun game. We're going
at it right here on the Cavino and Rich Show.
Now before we get back to Isaiah Thomas, because I
got thoughts on this guy. Our buddy Jay Stu, producer
of The Doug Gottlieb Show, hit us up. Based on
Last Hour. We talked about the idea of everyone just
relying too much on their phone, and it was a
(01:40):
really fun conversation. If you missed it, it'll be on
the podcast later. It's based on the Masters and everything
we saw over the weekend. Everybody engaged. When you see
people fully in the moment instead of everyone having their
phone out. He reminded me of a tweet from a
couple of years ago that he put out there, which
is in a sea of phones, look at this one guy.
It's a Lakers game and Lebron's taking a big shot
(02:02):
and everyone's got their phone aut except one old guy
in the front row who's just watching. And you envy him.
There's like a sense of like he doesn't care.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
He's in the moment. I feel like that was the
founder of Nike. If I'm not mistaken, Phil Knight. Isn't
that the famous Phil Knight? Wasn't that when Lebron was
gonna break the scoring record?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Just like I've seen it all, I didn't see to
watch this with my own eyes, rich thought it was
Leslie Nielsen.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Wait, does not Phil Donahue.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Leslie's been departed for a while now.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Richard saw some dude with white hair. Wait, wait a minute,
By the way, you just need the two best guys
with white hair. I think ever Leslie Nielsen and Phil
donaho he had the same Coop Phillips, Steve Phillips, former GM.
He's got a coff so good white hair right there.
Isaiah Thomas spoke on behalf of Lebron spoke out on
(02:57):
Lebron over the weekend. Again, everyone's excited about the new Lebron.
James Barbie Doll, A lot of people talking about bronni
James starting over the weekend scored four points dneg What
were your thoughts on that?
Speaker 3 (03:09):
That was cool to see the I was gonna say
the word scrubs. Oops. It was nice to see the
bench warmers get to play in that final meaningless game
against the Blazer.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Can't you remember any better than scrub I don't know,
some old mamba shoes if you saw that. And then
the one.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Vet Mark Keith got to have some playing time, probably
the best vet in all of the NBA.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
But Isaiah Thomas was talking about how strange it was
to see Lebron James warming up with no shirt on,
just no shirt on out there and some sweatpants taking
shots breaking the sweat Here's what he said on NBA TV.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
I just totally one hundred percent object to this, and
it was a gm of Coochy Drew. I would never
let one of my players walk out on the floor
looking like this. I mean, we are professional an be
a league.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
We ain't.
Speaker 5 (04:02):
We ain't summer league.
Speaker 2 (04:04):
We ain't. We ain't you know at the y m
c A.
Speaker 5 (04:08):
I think coaches got to go back to suits relutely,
you know. I just I just think, I just I
just think the professionalism and all NB A league has
diminished so much. And and I look, I like Lebron,
(04:29):
I'm a fan of here and so forth and so on,
but to walk out on the floor before a game
with no shirt on and shoot, I mean, come on, man,
this where we at, what we're doing, where we at now?
If you want to Adam Silva, if you want to
find somebody.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
Time that and if you look through all the comments,
because it was a viral clip over the weekend, very
polarizing discussion and a lot of flak for Isaiah Thomas
us like professionalism. This guy is talking about professionalism. Guy
who tried to take Jordan out. You know, a lot
of people coming at him because of his sentiment his
comments here. But in a way I really agree with him.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I do.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Can you mad about it? That's the thing. It's Lebron James.
He's sort of earned a right. But Lebron James also
leads by example. So if it wasn't Lebron James, you're
still okay with it, That's what I mean, not as
not as much, but you know what, I really don't care.
And Lebron's ripped. I think that matters. Also, no one
else to see if fatso with their shirt off.
Speaker 6 (05:32):
But.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Read by example, and yeah, he's earned the like he's
earned the pass where you don't want to like be
so knowing. No one complains when someone that's good lookings
half naked. Now if it was a you know, but
he's trying to go. If it was, you could be
mad all you want. We've gotten way too cavalier and
way too casual here as a society, and I think
a lot of that has to do with, well, what's
(05:56):
what's in style? Unfortunately crocs and pajama pants and and
also COVID and people working from home and sweatpants. Like,
we've gotten way too casual where we're losing a little
sense of professionalism. And we never saw Michael Jordan no
shirt on on the court like that at the playground.
(06:16):
Sure the why sure a rec league, sure, summer league,
G league, whatever, the NBA. You should have a sense
of professionalism. Why is that a bad thing? Why are
you the first guy to always say, well, let me finish.
It's a bunch of bonehead fans with beer helmets and
tank tops. Yet we have to act like this is
like super official. It's a kid's game that adults are
getting paid to play because they're supposed to be the elite,
(06:38):
and they are supposed to lead by example, and there's
an expectation of professionalism in the NBA. You know, I
think where Isaiah Isaiah Thomas loses you is when he's
talking about professionalism and you know his past is a
little questionable, but how angry he sounds in that clip.
He's he's you hear him banging on the desk and
he's all mad. And I think that's where he loses you,
(06:59):
because otherwise I agree, it's not the YMCA, it's the NBA.
Put a shirt on, so Lebron James. I'm not mad
about it, but I do agree with him. I gotta
make that clear. I do agree with him. You know,
there's so many times, too rich where we call you out.
You're at Fox Sports Radio, and I mean, you look
handsome today, but you come in wearing flip flops or sweatpants.
(07:20):
I'm like, dude, no one's gonna respect you looking like that.
Lebron Change is the leader in the locker room, no
shirt on the court. What the whole team's gonna start
doing that now? I don't think that's a good look
for professional basketball. Let's go to your feedback. I think
Isaiah Thomas just trying to get someone to care about
(07:41):
what he's saying there. He just sounds mad, and I
think that's what rub people the wrong way. Again, I
will make the point it might sound rude, but I
don't think it is. It depends on what you look like.
It really does like, well, unfortunately that's not gonna matter.
But guess why I don't go around shirtless not chos as.
Guess what, as much as I feel like I'm in
(08:02):
pretty good shape, you get a little bit of a
dad bod going. So I am not rocking the shirtless look.
But I have a buddy who's ripped. That guy's wanting
to take his shirt. You ever have that friend who's
like itching for the moment to take a shirt of
time and place, Dude, it's like a hot girl. I'm
all for her showing off the hard work she's put in.
Care about Lebron's shirtless shooting three pointers and warm ups?
(08:25):
It's not about that. It's about professionalism.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
When you get made into a doll, you no longer
care about these things.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
I know, right, He's like, I would do.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Whatever I want because I am now a ken doll.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Dude. He's the equivalent of Barbie bro Rick and Tennessee
what's something man?
Speaker 7 (08:41):
Well on that whole Isaiah Thomas saying, I thought of
a stand up. I thought he's doing a stand up because,
first of all, from what I understood, Lebron was the
only one on the court. There wasn't people in there yet,
and he was just kind of hearing with some warm
up shots. I'm that's what I heard, So who saw it?
And secondly, I do love when he goes we're professionals,
(09:02):
We're NBA professionals. I've been a coach, I've been an
NBA I've been a GM and then he starts his
grammar goes to hell in a handbag. Dude, why don't
you learn to speak if you're a professional, right, because
I don't respect Tennisty talks like that.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
I just think it's a slippery slope. That's all my
man at Lebron hell no, And if anyone's earned it,
it's him putting the work in. Fine. I just think
it is a slippery slope because then you're gonna have
everybody out there doing that and there it is the NBA.
It is the NBA, and you do want to create
this at least sense of professionalism. Rich That's all, no doubt.
(09:41):
So between that and the doll lebron in the news
and you brought up Bronnie. I had one question about
Ronnie James. He got the start yesterday, What do you
play like thirty four minutes we were at the baseball game,
but you know, we saw that and we're like, oh cool.
I got to ask four points, correct me if I'm wrong,
as often I am. You know, Bronnie James getting his
(10:04):
first start, So was that the first time Danny g
that he got the star studed like announcement like and
now you're starting lineup, So that must have been a
cool moment for Bronnie James, Like coming off the bench
clearly is a big deal and he's Bronnie James and
his debut with dad was national international news, all eyes
on Bronnie. We get it. But was that the first
(10:26):
time where lights down arena and now the starting lineup?
That was the first time he got that shine. So
I'm sure that was a cool moment for him. Person
Oh very cool. Yeah, I know it was cool. The
bench always rooting for him to do well, So no
hate there, but it all eats to again the playoff
picture that we're really excited for and have to admit
(10:51):
root for the Lakers will be I'm rooting for great games.
I've been in Los Angeles for about seventeen years now,
the loving his Lakers all the time. Definitely not hating
on the lake.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Did you see that stat that the Lakers and Kings
in hockey our top four seeds in their conference and
will host game one playoff games in the same building
in the same season for the first time since nineteen
ninety one.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
How is that possible with the success of both of
those franchises. That's wild.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
They zigzag with the seasons they're successful.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
So I'm assuming could we know that means you're not
kissing ass as your dad would say, because the Lakers
are playing the Tea Wolves and who's a big t
Wolf fan? Our boss is a super Yeah. No, definitely
not kissing ass. I mean we talked so much Lakers
and if I see you text our boss no Wolves, Well, hey, look,
am I a Lakers fan? No? Am? I really just
(11:47):
rooting for a great battle in a good game. Absolutely,
but I'm definitely leaning, okay, leaning like a cholo leaning
with the Lakers here, and I wanted to find out
exactly what they were Bronnie was wearing. He was rocking
those unreleased Kobe's in his first NBA start of the year.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
By the way, the play in tournament mom but Nike
Kobe five, Yeah, those are nice. Yeah. Playing tournament starts
tomorrow Hawk's Magic and then the second game is the
Grizzlies and Warriors.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Grizzly Warriors. That's Spots, the spots search Tim Grizzly Warriors.
So I did want to bring something up based on
the Lakers. It was an interesting moment with Ruey, right,
Danny g You hit us up with.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
Yeah, he was awe struck when he saw.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Bruce Springsteen the boss. I just wrote down Bruce. I
was trying to remember who it was. Bruce Covino. Is
Ruey from your neck of the woods?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I don't think so.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Just a big Springsteams fan.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But I also know that he's only twenty seven years old, right,
born in ninety eight. I'm surprised he gives a Diddley
squad about it. Bruce Springsteen, to be honest, because I
don't care about Birson. I'm from New Jersey and I
don't even care that much. So that was a side story.
He made such a big deal about Bruce Springsteen, the
(13:12):
Boss was sitting sideline at the Lakers game. So again
my first instinct was, I'm surprised he even knows who
he is.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Well, we know that he was born in Japan, so
I was wondering, like, maybe Springsteen is huge over there.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Oh, that's that's a good point, perhaps because I don't
know any young man twenty seven years old that would
care that much who's a superstar in their own right
in the NBA, where there's superstars everywhere, especially in Los
Angeles right where there's celebrities court side all the time,
and you're awestruck by Bruce Springsteen. Maybe there is something
(13:50):
to that, Danny g. Maybe Bruce in Japan is so
you tell bigger, You're tell me in the two thousands,
when he was growing up in Japan, he was it
was not about Jay Z or Beyonce or you know. Yeah,
but you know how Germany's into Hasselhoff. Not that Bruce
Springsteen's not a big star Heregas, He's a megastar. I'm
not trying to downplay the superstardom of Bruce Springsteen again
(14:11):
as a Jersey guy. That would be sacrilegious. And I
give him all the props in the world. Bruce Springsteen's
a legend. He's great. I'm just surprised that a young
guy in the NBA who's surrounded by superstars would be
that awestruck by an older Bruce Springsteen. The Boston This
day and age.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Look at this research, it says, yes, Bruce Springsteen is
very popular in Japan. He in fact played a multi
week residency there during his Born in the USA tour
in nineteen eighty five.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
Yeah, maybe he grew up, you know, thinking that Bruce
was like Elvis or something. I have no idea how
he was idolized in his childhood grown up. So either way,
that was the story, and it starts making you think,
is there anyone in your professional life that can make
you crack under pressure? Because it seemed like he couldn't
believe it if not a celebrity, I got to ask,
(14:58):
who do you feel we give you the most performance anxiety,
not in the bedroom, like in life, like professionally, like
performance anxiety at your job. Would it be your parents,
would be your in laws? Would it be like a
good looking woman you had a crush on. Would it
be what's weird there? It doesn't even have to be.
Sometimes it doesn't have to be people that you're awestruck
(15:21):
by or even intimidated by or whatever. There's certain people
that just bring out something weird in you where you're
fumbling over your words that ever happened to you, Like
certain people you just can't really speak to something about
their presence. I'll bring up one of your classic stories
just because it's it's funny and it's sort of sports related.
Camino uggun props was a good ballplayer in high school.
(15:41):
Oh yeah, I mean you could be lying with the
fake articles you've showed me over the years. It could
be good AI a photoshop, but Homer twenty seven, little
run change the number every time it's not counting, like
picture of the year and the state of New Jersey
and you know, all everything basically growing up. But you know,
oh yeah, back to the story rich Glory day is there?
(16:02):
Oh speaking of Bruce Springsteenlord days, you know the guy
he sings about I had a friend was a big
baseball player. The guy who threw the speedball right by
you passed away last week. Yeah, that was the guy
who was a hometown friend of Bruce Springsteen's. I believe
David Muir did a story on that Kvino's Right Glory Days.
(16:24):
A lot of the lyrics are about Joe Depew, passed
away at seventy five, was a childhood friend of Bruce Springsteen,
and Bruce Springsteen went to social media to say he
could throw that speedball right by it and make you
look like a full rest in peace. You know my
high school pal Joe Depeugh seventy five. So to tie
it all together, Bruce Springsteen give making ruiy Hetremora feel
(16:46):
all some type of way on the court. His friend
I had a friend was a big baseball player. That
guy passed away. Did I not sing it good enough? No?
I just wanted to, you know, having a sing off.
I didn't know we were going a song for song
for long. Okay, you get born to run next. I know.
There's a baseball story from All Star Steve Cavino where
(17:09):
you saw your high school sweetheart and her family at
the Jersey Shore. Was at the Jersey Shore doing what
Jersey Shore kids do, and I was at the banning
cage that take steroids and drank. What are they doing?
Jim Towning and laundry GTL. I was doing GTL before
GTL was a thing, and I was at one of
(17:31):
the local baseball batting cages. It was an outdoor batting
cage outside and I was there at my high school.
Girlfriend and her family came to pick her up. And
the long story short is it wasn't just her family though,
it was like all of her family mom, dad, grandma, cousins.
They were all there to pick her up. And she
(17:52):
said to them, wait, wait, he's really good. Watch And
I went from hitting frozen rope after frozen rope to
all of a sudden feeling this immense amount of pressure,
knowing her dad and her family was watching. Oh, Steve's
all stayed dad, He's the best baseball player. Watch him
in the batting cage. I missed every pitch. And you know,
(18:13):
this is thirty years later, I'm still talking about it
because it was so deflating and embarrassing, and you know,
you can't really understand, like how did I go from?
You know, when you're at that age and you're in
that zone, you're just teeing off. I couldn't hit not
one because I cracked under that pressure knowing it was them,
(18:35):
it was them watching me, and I felt their eyes
just staring at me, and I was so embarrassed, and
I'll never forget that feeling of like, man, what just happened?
Ask yourself this, if you were to play in a
charity softball er basketball game or throw out a first
pitch Danny g or if you were to do a
live broadcast somewhere under a high pressure situation, big crowd.
(18:57):
Is there someone that, if they were there, you would
feel a little like ooh, I give you like your
parents or your parents would be the norm one answer.
Or maybe again, maybe a new person you're dating, or
I know there's some people that are like, I don't
want my spouse there they that's the you know, well,
it's whoever has weird energy about them or gives you
that step feeling or adds that extra anxiety or pressure.
Coach ballgame who we interviewed on our bonus show Over
(19:19):
Promised James Low coach ballgame. Where's the Fedora? You could
actually watch the interview on over Promise Fox Sports Radios
YouTube page. He said, there's so many kids that are
just great players, and then their parents come and they
start cheering and putting his pressure on him. The kid
like crumbles in the moment and he's not the same player.
So there are times that, no joke, I wonder because,
(19:40):
as I've said many times here, I coach my kids,
and there are times where I wonder, would they be
better if I wasn't their coach? Like I feel like
I do a great job coaching the kids in general,
but my own kid maybe like dad being the coach.
How do I know that's even good for them? I
mean maybe them particularly, it's not don't I don't know,
you don't know, right, I mean, it's it's case by case,
(20:03):
kid by a kid. But we here on the Conveno
and Rich Show have a theory. It's called the lick
Ma theory. Look ma, because how many times were you
doing something? Rich, you on your pogo stick, whatever you
were doing. You know me, I'm hitting like three point
shots in my backyard or trick shots in your backyard,
or you're doing something like with a tennis ball, whatever
it was, you did it thirty times in a row.
(20:26):
You hit nothing but the bottom of the net. Look Ma,
look ma, the second your mom looks brick, you're not
hitting the same shot over and over again because of
that weird subconscious pressure that you put on yourself or
they put on you in that moment. It's weird. It's
really weird how that happens. Just a dumb thought to
think about who in your life, who would be that
(20:47):
person for you? Family member, kids, spouse, parents. Sarachi Mura
apparently as Bruce Springs, ye knew an NBA players kryptonite was,
you know, an eighties rock star. Now you could chime
in and give us your person. You can nominate somebody

That means Covino is the last one standing in it.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
Who do you think you are? I am? I told
you I had seven high.
Speaker 3 (31:02):
That is, you could probably tell Cavino's only one. He's
only one ten times prior. That's his eleventh victory in
this game. Because Dan Byers not here, well, this.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Game's no joke. And when Dan Buyer's not here, you
got a cape.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
You guys are making me feel really strong about myself.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
I'm sure appreciate that they never went. And when Big
Mike's here, you gotta stomp on him.
Speaker 3 (31:26):
Then it's like playing the Panthers Mark and Rancho Koukama.
But we appreciate you playing the game. And Covino, the
big question is, even though he didn't win, do you
want to mail out a swiggy to him?
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Absolutely? Yes, look it.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Because he's on a natural high from his victory. But
he has to send something back that they hand out
at the bank, like a pen, Like a pen one
hundred dollars Bill like a stapler or something. Thank you,
but of course, of course thank you for playing man.
You get a swiggy just for being cool. I appreciate you.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Thank you Mark for listening to CNR filling in for
Dan Patrick Man.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
That was fun. Man, that's the that's a heated battle.
That game's tough because like as Rich and I were
going back and forth, he was and I was taking
his answers, he's taken my answers, so you really have
to think on the spot, which makes it difficult. And yeah,
it's really tough to beat Dan Byron. I want to
thank Big Mic for running this place and for playing
the game. Thank you, Big Mic, Big Mike, don't leave. Yeah,
(32:19):
because I have one more question for you. I think,
first of all, because I think Cavino's Cavino's Pete Webber
might be one of his top five impressions. That's solid.
I did it. That one very good. And I bring
this up because, yeah, but right before he says the
famous quote baller Pete Weber, in that moment, he has
(32:41):
like a flipout moment where he's like, I did it.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
He blocks out.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
Yeah, he flips out because he calls out a kid
that was taunting him in the fans, a child. I
bring this up because we went to the Mets as
game yesterday and Sacramento game ended about four o'clock, three hour,
you know about a three hour game. Our flight wasn't
until eight. So we went to a cool bar pub
area where the Sacramento Kings play and they had a
(33:07):
little bowling alley. Not great, The lanes were not oil great.
It was the pins were on strings, but it was
regular bowling balls and we said, let's bowl have a
drink before we go to the airport. And speaking of bowlers,
Coveno broke one of the top rules of being a
grown man. Yeah, did I lose my man card yesterday?
I say no, But we'll explain. What did you do?
(33:29):
You know what?
Speaker 7 (33:29):
I didn't?
Speaker 1 (33:30):

being that now is when everyone really hones in more
on the NBA the playoffs are here, the playing games
when both teams are like five hundred or under. Are
you watching just to watch or or are you thinking
like no, no, I'll wait until like the real playoff start.
(36:16):
Why wouldn't you watch? Look, we got a lot of
stuff to catch up on Black Mirror. You still haven't
watched the White Lotus. The Last of Us is back.
There's lots of you have to tune into. You'll watch
Grizzlies Warriors tomorrow, But I'm asking, will you watch Hawk's Magic. Yeah,
I'll have it on. I'll have it on in the background.
But again, Yankees are playing today, so you got to
(36:37):
watch your baseball. But of course I'll watch that absolutely.
This is when you have to tune in. You have to. Well. Now, yesterday,
speaking of games, Rich and I went to the mets
A's game. You could see our footage at Covino and
Rich did a cool little montage. We even got on TV.
Fun time. After the game, we went to do you
remember the name of the placer?
Speaker 6 (36:56):
Now?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Yeah, I have it handy here. But I was gonna say,
I went to this like adult version of Dave and Busters.
Well it's not there. They weren't strippers.
Speaker 4 (37:04):
There isn't David Buster's kind of for adults.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
No, David Buster is like the adult Chuck e Cheese.
Speaker 3 (37:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
No, I was even more adult than that, though it was.
It wasn't like Goofy Arcades. It was called punch Bowl Social. Yeah.
So we went to this place called punch Bowl Social
and we just went there to have some bar food,
hang out and enjoy Sacramento. And there were bowling alleys there, like,
hey man, it's got a few drinks and let's bowl
a little bit. And I broke one of our CNR
(37:32):
rules for years. I've always said, you lose your man
card if you can't break a hundred. But I almost
have to put a like an asterisk next to that.
I don't think there needs to be an astro. I
think you just I'll never own it no way, because
you just don't understand where I'm coming from. The lanes
were awful. But again, this is like someone being like, oh, dude,
(37:55):
you're playing softball pop up and they say, oh, it's
the gloves. There were lanes. There were ends with strings
on him. Right, So Marionette, pins, I don't know what
you call these things, so pins with strings on them
and lanes with no oil, so you had to use
the house balls. And if you throw a hook right,
if you've ever got your game to a point where
(38:15):
it was good and it mattered, and you got past
the straight ball or thrown it between your legs grandma
style like Rich balls, then then you understand what I'm
talking about. Because game recognized game. I could not throw
a hook, and every time I threw the ball would
go into the opposite end of the gutters. There was
no adjustments to be made. You're the kid. Should I
have broke a hundred, Yes, But at that point I
(38:36):
didn't care because it was horror. Now you're the kid
that when he drops a pop up you stare at
your glove like, oh, the equipment. You're the guy that
you miss it all because if you really bowl, you're
missing all your jumps. Rich throws a straight ball no
matter what, so this didn't affect him whatsoever. If you
throw a hook, or if you throw your ball with
a spin, it was impossible to do so, and I
(38:58):
couldn't make that adjustment, and I'm like, eh, at that
point I hated it and didn't care much, So yes,
I didn't break a hundred. It's embarrassing, but I didn't
care because it sucked. It was like it was no,
it was a level above ski ball. Well, it's easy
to not care when you bowl a ninety. Yeah I
bought a ninety twice, but ninety and like ninety one.
But it's terribly embarrassing because but it's not like they
(39:19):
were bowling anything. The highest game was like a one
twenty something. No, I bought one fifty eighth the first game,
bull only, but a thousand dollars eight. Yes, well, I
mean if you're the adamant, then I must have just
missed it.
Speaker 3 (39:31):
You have a photo to prove.
Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, I want to maybe our buddy himI does. Yeah,
I'm not gonna fight. I only guess I got a
turkey in the middle. And when you get a turkey, well,
the next game you barely broke around. I bled the
one twenty two. It is not good your Parker bone.
No nobody bowled well. But what I'm saying is to
not break a hundred means you you to break a hundred,
you needed to mark. Here's what happened. I didn't care
(39:54):
after a while because it was impossible. I didn't care.
It did, dude, these balls were bedrock. They had chunks
missing out of them. There was no oil. You don't
under Here's what you don't get. There was no oil
on lane. Make an adjustment. So when you when you
have no oil on the lanes, it's impossible to throw
the ball with any accuracy at all. If you have
(40:14):
a spin on it, you have to throw it completely straight.
And that's just not how I bowl. So me by
me being better than you really was working to my
disadvantage yesterday. Yeah, these lanes were at your level. Was
at school boy. I don't think we've ever bolted together,
and you beat me because I never went real bowling
with you. We're always rocking and bowling with neon bowling balls.
(40:39):
Let's go bowling with a real bowling ball and at
a real lane. I gotta know where these real bowling
alley ou because we've done rocking ball on double datric girlfriends,
We've gone out with groups of people. And you think
using a pink neon ball is real bowling, then you
don't know what bowling is.
Speaker 4 (40:52):
This guy's uh Rory McElroy over here complaining about the
mini golf course.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Well that's the truth. Yeah, it's like Rory McElroy.
Speaker 4 (40:59):
He probably thinks that explaining about the Mindig golf course,
the clown's mouth is a little bit too uh, left
the center.
Speaker 2 (41:08):
You could say I'm being defensive or justifying. We don't
have to say that, but I guarantee you anybody that
bowls and really knows what it's about knows exactly what
I'm talking about. If you really bowl, you can't bowl
these toy bowls. We get it, Parker Moone. We'll see
you guys tomorrow. If you missed any of the show,
just find the podcast. We'll post it at Covin on
Riche and some fun highlights from our Sacramento trip. We'll
(41:30):
see you guys tomorrow as we continue the Dan Patrick
Patrick Baby. See you guys,
