(00:22):
Fresh off a pretty sweet NBA night second game, more
of a surprising blowout, like, Yo, these Tea Wolves mean business,
Danny G. You hit me up at that meme where
going into the postseason the tea Wolves, or as Monsei
calls them, the Wolves, the Wolves, the Wolves, the Timberwolves. Yo, Isaac,
do you call him the Timberwolves too? Do you pull

(00:42):
the Manzi?

Speaker 2 (00:43):
No?

Speaker 1 (00:44):
I love Moncy, but first I've ever heard of the Timberwolves. No,
not the Timberwolves Monci. Yeah. Yeah, So you said going
into the playoffs, plus eighteen hundred in Vegas to go
all the way. Yep, that number has shrunk to plus
three hundred. Insane. They think they're gonna run the table.

(01:04):
Well it looks that way. Now. Look when you got
the Timberwolves playing that big against the defending champions, it
goes back to something I always say when it comes
to fights, styles makes fights, right, Styles makes games. It's
the matchups. Man, It's so cool to see a great
team look vulnerable. It's so great to see competition at

(01:27):
this level look rich. And I are casual NBA fans,
but we are glued to this because we're seeing young
stars playing big at the biggest moment. It's fun to
watch styles make games. And the Timberwolves got this figured
out at least in the moment, unless the Nuggets fix
something or make some sort of adjustment. In the most
simplistic form though NBA Insider, but the narrative was to

(01:55):
stop the Nuggets, you need to throw big men at Jokic,
and that's exactly what Minnesota is doing. And Danny, don't
think for a minute, I didn't think, Well, the te
Wolves are out to like a fifteen to twenty point lead.
I've seen this before. They were gonna come back. I've
seen this before. But the Tea Wolves didn't take the
foot off the guests like unfortunately the Lakers did, or
you know, couldn't keep it well.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
And besides the size that the Wolves have on the bench,
and they have a hell of a bench there, they're
also more athletic than the Nuggets. And that's saying a lot,
because look how athletic the Nuggets looked against the Lakers.
So Covino's exactly right about the matchups. But when you
look at the star power of these youngsters, like the
twenty three year old Anthony Edwards, dude's shooting over fifty

(02:37):
percent and he's got a hell of a jump shot.
Usually that young there's lots of high flying and duncan,
but the SHOT's not there yet.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
This kid can shoot, playing big when it matters most.
And Rich and I have a theory that if you
watch a documentary, you're watching a movie, and after that movie,
your documentary or biopick, especially, you're on Google looking things up.
You know. You like, if you watch a story on
Netflix or Hulu or whatever it is and you go

(03:05):
to Wikipedia just to find out more about it, you know,
good it got you. It was a good movie. When
you watch Anthony Edwards play, you're searching his stats, You're
doing the research. I'm checking his contract. I'm like, when
is he done? Where is he going? Tonino's first thought
was how long does he have with the Tea Wolves,
because there's gonna be big market teams that want to

(03:26):
snag him, but he's locked up for a while. He's
twenty three, and if you're in MINNESOTAF he's locked up
till twenty twenty eight. You got some good couple of
years ahead of you. They were frustrating the hell out
of the Nuggets last time. I mean so mad, people
are throwing heating pads on the floor. Yeah, don't be
a sports baby like Jamal Murray. Okay to that.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
Really quick cove, I should point out he doesn't turn
twenty two and or twenty three, rather until August fifth.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
Dude, that's insane. So yeah, so he's still twenty two.
Strop induces twenty two. It's insane. My good, I'm double
that guy's age. That's wild. Tomas also why there's rumors
that Lebron is really his daddy and he could be
my son. If I won't, maybe he can't be my son.
But that's why I was looking up his age and
his contract for yesterday. Little Danny g because he's been

(04:12):
so complimentary of avenging and defending Lebron's honor. I was like, well,
what are the chances of them teaming up in the future,
because what an honor would be for him and that
would be a missing piece that Lebron would need to
move forward and get another championship. And I was like, well,
by that God, he's got to be done and Lebron's
not going to Minnesota. He shows Lebron so much respect, right,

(04:34):
I agree with Cavino. There was a sentiment of like
he respects Lebron to the point where, oh what what
are both their contract situations. That's why I was looking yesterday,
but just playing so big and again, styles make games.
I know I'm stating the obvious, but it's so apparent
when you see how they match up against the Nuggets.
Because the Nuggets look unbeatable against Danny G's Lakers, but

(04:55):
now they look very vulnerable. Now they look human. Rich
gave the analogy of when and Ivan Drago started to
bleed ye when Rocky cut him, was like I fight
for me. No every cut him, and he's like, he's human,
He's human. They're making the Nuggets look beatable. Yeah, and
he's got some MJ mannerisms. We've joked on the show
before about how Michael Jordan might Papa need a DNA test.

(05:19):
You are the father, You are the fire before the show,
was saying something interesting and I want to take it
to this angle for a second. Cavino, you were saying,
is there anything else in life that you could just
turn on your interest level? Because the w not the WNBA,

(05:41):
the NBA the regular season, it's like it's watchable but
not must see TV. Ever. Really, it's amazing how we
could go from casual viewers of the NBA to fully
invested with no team in the race like this. I
think that's a testament to the NBA pushing their our power,

(06:01):
you know, because we know these players, so at least
there's some sort of connection or familiarity. We know them,
we hear about them, we see him on highlights all
the time. And I think there's something to be said
about what Big Mike runs's place. We were talking about
it before the show. It's like I could watch some
hockey playoffs, but I'm not as invested as I am
when I'm watching NBA playoffs. Why is that? Is it

(06:21):
because we played as kids? Is it because you know, yeah,
we picked up a basketball, we know what it's like
to shoot around. I never got on ice skates in
my life. I'm a Guido kid from New Jersey. What
do I know about hockey? Not a whole lot. Yeah
we got the Devils, Yeah we got the Rangers and
the Islanders, But I never played hockey, never played in
my life. Is there something about the fact that you
played it as a kid growing up because or is

(06:44):
it the star power of the NBA that we relate to.
I don't know, but Rich is making the point we
were talking about how I don't know there anything else
in life where I could go from sort of into
it to completely into bedroom activities. You could be like
sort of tired. If wifey leans over and is like, hey,

(07:04):
you could go from I'm tired to like, yep, let's go.
That's like the NBA Playoffs to me having sex with
my wife and the NBA playoffs same thing. Let me
tweet that out on the official FSR account. Quote that
think about it, you're tired as hell after I mean,
Anthony Edwards gets me excited, Rich, but not that. But
what I'm saying, if your wife gives you, a girlfriend
gives you a little nudge when you're like half asleep,

(07:25):
you can wake up pretty quick. You go from groggy
to now, let's do this. Ready to go that's to me,
but it is the NBA playoffs. I can't say I
go from zero to sixty because I care about the NBA,
so you know, I don't know anything else that I
go from thirty to sixty as fast as I do.
With the NBA, from like casual to like man, I
am so glued, like I can't wait for tonight to

(07:46):
watch the game. I almost, to be honest, I almost
feel guilty, like I'm a front runner, but I'm not
rooting for a particular team. I feel like a guy
like Danny g who watches every Lakers game must be
this guy. I got another theory though again I said familiarity,
I said star power of the players, we're familiar with them.

(08:08):
But how about the fact that, I mean, clearly the
games mean that much more. So you're seeing a whole
different level of intensity. But you're actually seeing teams play
defense too, defense, right, I mean that's a big part
of it. So you're sitting there as if you were
like damn, and that brings the excitement, like you can't
turn away.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
Yeah, and even if your team loses in the first round.
The meme, the other meme I sent you guys this
morning the picture of the guy beating on the other
guy and he's got a Wolve's logo over his face,
and one getting beat is the Denver Nuggets logo, and
there's a photographer just laying on the grass taking a
picture of the scene and the Lakers' logos over that guy.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
Sonny. Well, the reason we were talking about this too,
just a side conversation before the show, is one of
our buddies, Donnie Pompadou, who listens to our Patreon show.
He's like, how come you guys will get fired up
like this over hockey? And it's like, well, I mean,
I don't know. I was trying to figure that out.
I'm like, is it demographics? Is it again? The fact
that when you're watching NBA everybody's represented. I don't know

(09:11):
if it's just more worldwide in that aspect, right, Like,
I don't know, there's no Blacks, there's no Asians, there's
no Latinos in hockey. I don't know why there's a
bigger reacher. Uh, there's a there's a few, a few
du yeah, a handful. But I just feel like the NBA,
and you can say hockey is a global sport, is
I know what you're saying, and I can say I
can say this. I can say this because I'm Russian.

(09:32):
It sort of throws you off when you see all
these random dudes with names that have it seem like
they're lacking a few valves and you're like, who is
this guy? When you can't pronounce anyone on a roster's
name and you're not a big hockey guy, it's hard
to sort of casually watch. Well, again, I'm stretching Rich
because I'm trying. I was really trying to think, well,
why is that? Is it because we played basketball kids,

(09:53):
you never played hockey, never played hockey. I don't know,
but I'm gonna I'm gonna say no, it's the next
level of intensity. The game's at her and star power.
It's got the NBA. It's not that because those things
exist in the NHL as well. You're just not connecting intensity.
What's more intense than in Game seven in the NFL.
Acting you're not connecting, Danny g You're not connecting. I

(10:13):
always saym you connect that much about it? I don't
think so. Uh So there's a reason. And I've tried,
I was trying. I tried, I've tuned in to figure
that out. A lot of different NHL playoff games. I
try to watch the Stanley Cup. It's it's just you're right,
I'm not connected to it. I didn't play it growing up.
So Danny g please understand why I'm even bringing hockey
into this. No, I'm glad you did because somebody else

(10:35):
asked me about this. Get so much criticism because we're
casual NBA fans, right, but then we come here like, dude,
did you see that game last night? And we're so
pumped about it. It those people off like you guys
don't get pumped about hockey like that, even playoffs, And
it's like, well, look we watch I don't know, so
I was just trying to really die deep. The last

(10:57):
time you played hockey was played No, it was Nintendo hockey.
We have to choose if you want the fat, slow guy,
the skinny fast guy, or the medium guy. That was
a great game. But do you go two medium guys,
one skinny, one fat. I think that was the Yeah,
two medium, one skinny, one fat. Yeah. So no, you're right.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
It's an interesting time on the sports calendar because once
the NFL Draft is completed, then most of the headlines
on TV and sports shows are NBA playoffs and and
it's weird because when we were all in NFL mode,
rarely would there be an NBA headline that took over everything.

Speaker 1 (11:34):
Interestingly enough, the NFL is King, it's Lord, it's you know,
president dictator, and the NFL rules the sports world after that. Listen,
I'm self aware. I'm a baseball guy, but I know
that people don't want to hear me talking about Pedalanso
all the time. I get a baseball just doesn't have

(11:56):
the same It's like when Richard make fun of me
for talking about chuc late Tito, how was his go to?
Like when it came to me talking about boxing. Nobody
wants to hear about chocolate Tito. Yeah, because you don't
always be like, yo this we can chocolate det do Lopez.
I'm like, who cares? I get it. Listen, you don't
think you don't think I have thoughts about Brandon Nimo
yesterday hitting a you know, a game winner for the Mets.
I just know most people like, yeah, rich you can

(12:18):
red Brandon Nemo. Baseball America's pastime takes a backseat to
the NBA right now. The NBA, you could say hockey
has the same intensity, but there's something about the NBA playoffs,
the way it's packaged, the way the stars step up,
the way the coverage, whether it be Steven Ay or
Shack and Chuck, you know, like it's it's just really good. Again,

(12:39):
that's star power. You know. You could say, like, what
about hockey. I don't know those guys the way I
know these household names in the world of the NBA.
I I do friends that are in New York, and
they're tickled pink right now because they got the Knicks
and the Rangers, both sorte you know, in a great
spot on it. If it gets you fired up, that's great, man.

(12:59):
So I'm not in on hockey again. That was the
question I was posted to me early, and I was
trying to really figure it out. And I'm not trying
to bring race into it. I'm just saying, maybe that's
what lacks appeal to some people. I don't know. I
want to tell you why. I could see that being
a possibility, But then soccer doesn't hit over here in
the States, and that represents Latinos, whites, blacks, Asians, but

(13:21):
we got American football got in the way of it.
But if you watch the NBA right now, we're watching
young players changing of the guard, Anthony Edwards, Donovan, Mitchell,
Brunting what he's doing. In New York. People owe the
Knicks a I was wrong because when they got bruntson,
people like laughed about it, like that's their big get.
He's slaying it.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Tatum Sga maybe the most underrated guy in the Western Conference.
So right now you're seeing these young players emerge as
something really fun again. Also basketball moose quick, it's two hours.
Maybe there's something, there's something we're forgetting. But yeah, there's
got to be a reason why NBA playoffs just pop.
And I just think it's so amazing to see these
young players again stepping up on the big stage and

(14:07):
the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves making the Nuggets look like that.
Tell me the Nuggets didn't seem invincible, dude. They seemed
invincible and unbeatable because the Lakers had to play perfect
just to compete. And then the Timberwolves shut him down
to what that was the lowest scoring they had all year,
eighty eighty points.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
I kept imagining our boss Scott watching too, because he
is a lifelong Timberwolves fan.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
He was probably smiling like mister Miyagi. He and other.

Speaker 3 (14:35):
Wolves fans have gone through years in years of mediocre
teams and bad teams. So to finally have a team
do that to the champion, this would be a good
time for all of us to ask for a race.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Let me tell you I didn't want to text up Boss.
I'm text them right. I did not want to text
him because I didn't want to jinx it because I
know Denver could come back. I didn't want to be
a cass Scott. How about your te Wolves, knowing that
at any moment Denver could step it up. But you
know what, for Minnesota fans, not just our boss, we
got a lot of friends and listeners up in the
Minnesota area. We did a live broadcast in Minnesota and

(15:12):
we were shocked how many people showed up. So I
know we have a lot of friends in support in Minnesota.
Danladen showed up. They haven't. Gary Guy Eddie was there.
They haven't. Ken Hrbeck was there. We shared wings. It
wasn't that long ago. It seems like that team was dominating,
but it is eighty seven and ninety one. Those two
World series for the Twins. Besides that there's been a

(15:34):
hell of a lot of sadness between the Vikings, the
Tea Wolves, the Twins just not really producing winter. So
if you're a Minnesota sports fan, enjoy this for as
long as you can. As Billy Madison one said, stay
here you can. And if anything, guys, what we want
you to get out of our excitement is if you're

(15:55):
a casual NBA fan, we'll be tuning in, but you
gotta be tuned in now because we're seeing these young
players really step up and it's exciting to see. And
if you're already a diehard day to day fan like
Danny g meaning watching every game all the time, then
you know exactly what we're talking about. But the other

(16:15):
point is, I can't think of many things. Rich gave
one other example, and that's bedroom activities that takes us
from thirty to sixty as fast as the NBA playoffs.
You could be cruised around and be like, wow, I'm excited.
The only other thing besides the NBA playoffs is, like
I said, when the wife or your girlfriend gives you
a nudge late at night and you're very sleepy and

(16:35):
she seems like it's go time. Oh yeah, And in
case my girlfriend's dad's listening. That was Rich's example, not
my example. Yeah, your daughter, your dory Len, your daughter
is dating a dud. He is. He is the most
prude laime O I've ever met watchings Do Lenn. He's
watching Sports Center while your well, your daughter's sleeping next door.
I'm watching Chuck Latito Gonzales highlights. So is there any

(16:59):
other examples by that you're so cavalier pun intended about
you know, that gets you excited out of nowhere the
way the NBA Playoffs does. Is there anything else you
could You know, you care about it casually, but then
all of a sudden you can turn it on and
be so fully invested. I'm trying to think maybe if

(17:20):
you're a casual golf fan Master Master's Weekend, you're like, oh,
locked in. There's a lot of people like that with
fighting too, Like, yeah, I don't watch boxing, but if
it was like a big Tyson Fury Deontay Wilder fight
or back in the day at Tyson fight or Tyson
Jake Paul coming up in July, people are like, yeah,
boxing's fixed whatever its trigged it. So who are these people?
The judges suck it's fixed anyway. Boxing's corrupt. But then

(17:44):
when there's a big fight like Tyson, they're glued in
like they're the biggest fans of all time. And I
understand it because it brings that level of excitement. Our
buddy Sean hit us up listening on the iHeart app
out here in La said, I think a lot of
it has to do with the little exposure hockey gets it.
Maybe for good reason. He's a big hockey guy, knows,
but dude, if it got big exposure, then you know
people would be tuning people. People aren't tuning in on

(18:06):
that level for reasons, he said. In basketball, you see
it all over social media. Social media and basketball have
a pretty good relationship. That's a list point. You go
to TMZ Sports you as you always say, you go
to boss Up. You go to all these websites. There's drama.
NBA's got got people with burner accounts and craziness. Named
one hockey player, like stars. There was one hockey story

(18:27):
that was sallacious, and it was that guy Conna Bedard
whose mom might have been sleeping with one of the
other players. That's the only time we were like, ooh, there's
a hockey story, great story. So I mean, like, that's
that's the proof in the uh, you know, hockey pudding.
And by the way, to make it clear, that doesn't
mean we don't watch the the big games in the
n each oln. Of course we do, dude, let me
tell you. But I'm telling you these NBA games are

(18:48):
bringing it. I went to my first you know, I've
been in LA for over five years now, and I
went to my first LA Kings game this year. Is
that hell of a lot of fun. I had not
been to a West Coast hockey game. It was great
at what is it now, Crypto Staples. What are they
calling now? Yeah, Staples and dude, it was a hell
of the time. I was right there by the glass.

(19:10):
Fun to watch a guy slamming against the glass right
near you. Rich put him on the glass and I
put my cheeks on the glass. It was weird. But no,
it just I think hockey's missing something. I don't know
what it is, but hey, NBA's rich to really figure
it out. NBA, NHL, enjoy your playoffs again, Eugene, Oregon.

(19:31):
Next week we got I loo Isaac with an update
in a second. But I want to throw this out there.
We're gonna get to Walker Mueller in a few minutes. Bmueller.
He returned, Guy returned, Danny g you must be pumped.
He got someone on the staff back. Hell yeah. And
the offense is on fire, yo, your boy Otani. I
got to ask you, because no offense angels fans when

(19:51):
he was buried in Anaheim, you know, with not a
lot of press. Now he's down here in Los Angeles?
Is it fun watching him day in and day out?
It's so fun.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
It's to the point where you almost kind of Forgetred
the Great Freddy Freeman's on the team.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
By the way, dude, it's it's such a great question,
rich because people who love sports the way we love
sports understand, but not everybody understands that. There's a difference
between seeing the highlights and knowing someone's a great player
and then watching them every day and watch the impact
that they have. And that's how I feel about Wan Soto.
You know, I wasn't that excited about Wan so too.

(20:29):
I told you you shouldn't be when you watch this
guy day in and day out, though you see the
excitement level he brings, the way he plays, the way
he plays big, the way, he's a difference maker in
the games. There's guys that can put up big numbers,
but they're not difference makers. Wan Soto every day is
a difference maker. So I can only imagine what it's
like to watch Otani on that level every day and

(20:49):
be excited about it.

Speaker 3 (20:50):
And I was listening to the game yesterday evening on
our LA affiliate AM five seventy LA Sports, and to
hear that crack off Otani's bat.

Speaker 1 (21:00):
He has a microphone attack. Weird.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
You hear that a lot obviously when you listen or
watch baseball, but it is twice as loud off Otani's bat.
That's not that's not real. Audio wed up his bat yesterday. Yeah, no,
if we do, if we have time, let's play that
call from the home run yesterday.

Speaker 1 (21:20):
It sounded crazy. Oh queue that up and we'll go
to Ilo. We'll get an update, We'll talk a little
Otani for a second, and then I have a dumb
observation about the NFL and astronauts.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
I Loo.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
We talked about this yesterday, you were here. We were
curious whether or not Giselle watched or one of her
friends was like, Gisel, you'll never believe. Apparently she was
in Brazil helping out with the natural there was a
lot of flooding going on, so here she has been
a do gooder in Brazil and she's getting all this word.
Did you hear what they said about you? Put it Rod,

(21:54):
put it Ron Burgundy collr G. Yeah. I mean, is
it fair that outside people take the shrapnel from Tom
Brady's roast? She didn't ask for that. I'm not saying
I was offended. I'm just saying is it fair? Because
it seems that all fair game if it's packaged in
a dish track and a roast, as we established yesterday.

(22:14):
But ever, keep in mind Covino, no one made fun
of her. All the jokes are at Tom's expense. True, dude,
what did they say about the jiu jitsu guy and
her and their bedroom activities? They didn't mention anything like that.
But making stuff up it was never I don't think
there was mean stuff that about Giselle. I think it
was all mocking it mocking Tom like yo, she left

(22:34):
you essentially.

Speaker 3 (22:35):
Yeah, I didn't think it crossed any line. You have
to have a sense of humor.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
True, but.

Speaker 3 (22:42):
Still fresh except for a little bit by the host.
They didn't even talk about the kids. I think it
was all right.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
You know Danny uh yeah. But but for argument's sake,
I don't care. I thought it was great. Yeah, it
doesn't matter what Danny g thinks, matters what you Zelle thinks.
That's not those children. But you know, watch she's not
in charge of entertainment in the USA. Let me tell
you this, but she's a public figure. I'm the league leader.
It's not asking to be talked about like this. You
know how Atani's the league leader a home runs She's

(23:10):
never entertained me. You know how Otani's leading the league
in homers. I lead the league. And bringing up Cavino's divorce, yes,
I mean by it by a mile, so let me
bring it up again. He's like the Nolan Ryan of it.
So Cavino is very respectful and because she's the mother,

(23:30):
not because I care about her, for me personally whatever,
that's tough to look back on. But she's still the
mother of my kid. No, but I'm saying some people
are overly respectful and borderline walk on eggshells where other
people get divorced, and like that's my ex f them
and Tom is Listen, when you have the money that

(23:50):
Giselle and Tom have, you could be bitter. Be Why
do most people fight after a divorce, money, custody, all
the things that regular people fight about. They don't fight
about those regular things. So I think Tom's sort of like, whatever,
what are you gonna do to me? I'm Tom Brady
think of it that way. Well, again, that was the story,
Thank you, Loing cron. Well, let's hear the crack of

(24:11):
Otani's bat and then I'll tell you why the NFL
and Astronauts are involved in the same story. I have here.
Uh hit it? I was Sam to two pitch Now
to Otani. He swings and hammers it deep center failed
way back in god tie game show.

Speaker 3 (24:30):
Hey Oltani putting on a show early in the ballgame.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
Here's he eleven home run the lead major League Baseball.
It is two to two in his zone for sure,
Man nice, that was pretty majestic. Someone said, you know
what it was? It was a master bo the you know, yeah,
he's a Jedi. Now he got his master's degree. Yeah,
Bo one of the editors here he put on his

(24:57):
Instagram stories. Hee bow, I look at your Instagram story,
he said, Dodger fans are starting to love this. Like
when Otani hits a home run, that swing h it's
like it does like a cute little skip involved in
it because he's got that swing that a lot of
Japanese players have, So with that power swing, he almost
has a little skip. Did you notice the skip? Watch?
I like when he does it? When you do it,
bothers me? Not good? All right? You know what coming up?

(25:21):
I'm gonna tell you about the NFL Draft and Astronauts.
You're like, what the hell is idiot talking about?

more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Will echo Cavino Carino next Friday. That would be parrot parroting. Parroting?
Is that is that a verb? If you were going
to echo me, you would then say me, there you go.
So next Friday, Next Friday, Eugene, Oregon. Today today, May seventeenth,

(26:39):
Graduate Hotel. Well you're not going to do this at
the Live brocast. No, certainly not. It'll be more fun
than that. All right, Well, we're going to get to
your phone calls, your feedback. But uh, I think we're
lacking something today. I don't want to abuse this, but
I was saying, could you get one quick GREETA because
I just feel like maybe just you know, a Taco
Tuesday GREETO? You know that's what we're getting, Taco Tuesday.

(27:05):
Thank you? Perfect needed that, needed that. Uh I brought
up the thought we were talking about this with Big Mike,
who runs his place, coming on Rich Astronauts, the Love
Doctor Mike. Astronauts were supposed to be launched into outer
space yesterday. Now for most of our parents and grandparents' lives,
the idea of space travel, astronauts, NASA, the space race

(27:28):
against Russia. That was like the biggest narrative going on,
and now we weren't even aware. Most of us weren't
aware that we were launching astronauts into outer space, and
that was canceled. It was canceled. No one gave a
diddley squat about it. Man. Now it's like, you know,
a couple of billionaires, you know, start building their own
little space ships and no one cares about space travel

(27:49):
the way we once did. Listen to sports real quick, rich,
More people have walked on the moon twelve than men
who have scored against Mariyana riverast season eleven. This one
of those Yankee memes I scroll past, but hold on.
I bring that up to break about the great Marianna Rivera,

(28:11):
who was at the Knicks game, which is rare, by
the way, It's so rare you see a legend like
Mariana with all the young New York Yankees that play today.
That was kind of cool, Like who wins there? Is
it cooler for the young guys to be with Mo Rivera?
And Mo Rivera to be with the young guys, they
are the stars. Now he's old guy. Now get at
he's a first ballot Hall of He's the man he's

(28:34):
a lim out with the rest of the old guys.
I was thinking next Friday for the broadcast in Eugene,
organ you should wear Walt Frasier suit from last night.
I will, I will.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
Did you see that?

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Anyway? I bring this up because only twelve men have
even been on the moon and we don't know who
they are. We don't care who they are. It's amazing
could name two of them. That's the thing. Spot. We
should be able to name all twelve. Stop we stopped
caring after the first two. You can name every you
can name all fifty something super Bowl winners, probably in order.
You can name MVPs and who's won every NBA title.

(29:07):
Twelve people on the moon.

Speaker 7 (29:08):
You can't even name all the presidents and there's only
been what forty six of those?

Speaker 1 (29:11):
Dude, it's embarrassing. Our priorities are, for sure. But the
question for then poses as well. Let's think of other
things that went from things we cared about that we
don't care about at all. It's the opposite of the
NFL draft. As we discussed last week, the NFL draft

(29:32):
went from nothing to something and going to outer space
went from everything to like, who gives a crap. So
is there any other examples like I have little stupid
ones written down, like, Yo, we used to love these
things and now we don't care at all. I don't
want to take these out of order, but I'll tie
it back to sports. How about that? Remember in the eighties, Rich,

(29:54):
we would love battles of the Network stars. I used
to get so fired up about that. I mean, hold on,
Thick is racing against who, Darry Coleman, let's go dates
something you cared about. I cared about that so much, like, oh, wait,
they're playing who's in tougal War Carl Winslow versus who
versus Carl Winzel. Can't let's go battle of the network stars? Dude,

(30:18):
we don't. There's no sign of that at all.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
If we're hanging out in the eighties and you're talking
about sports, I would argue baseball carts.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
Yeah, well back the same way. Things go in cycles,
for sure. On the documentary, it showed Oja Simpson on
some of those oh the battle yeah yeah, you know, and.

Speaker 7 (30:39):
He took it real serious. You saw him running in
that hurts commercial. He's pretty uh, he still had it.

Speaker 1 (30:43):
I have a whole list of him, but I don't
want to steal yours, And that's what I mead with
that one. Let's go the phones and we'll start with
art in Florida. Art based on the fact that we
don't know about astronauts anymore or care or care just
shows that there's things in life and sports that we
used to care about, but for some reason we're like, yeah,
no one can anymore. What you got?

Speaker 4 (31:02):
You know, in the nineties, you had the baseball strike,
in the hockey strike, the NASCAR went from nothing to
a bunch. You had rappers wearing NASCAR jackets. They were
styling George Jeff Gordon Gaylard Heart Senior before he died.
It was such a big deal. And that's back to
Bubb and Earl and nobody cares anymore rappers anymore. It

(31:24):
went from a flash in the pan to back to
Bubb and Earl.

Speaker 8 (31:27):
Wow.

Speaker 1 (31:28):
So yeah, again it goes and maybe it'll come back again.
But right now, that's how it is. Matt and Illinois,
Amo and Rich What did people used to care about?
But who cares now?

Speaker 9 (31:40):
Gleans thanks for getting me in. Before I get to
my two, that battle Network starts. We're doing real quick
about two that I was used to watch and care about.
They don't do anymore. One American Gladiators, yes, And two
when they did that NFL skills competition, we go to
the strongest man and the fastest man like Willie Golt
and Darryl Green. I missed those days. But the two
that I was calling about. Number one MTV when they

(32:02):
actually used to show music videos and when everybody stopped
when Michael Jackson's Thriller video was coming out watch music videos.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
They don't do that, you know, based on music. That
was a great call. Hold on before we talk about
the videos. Yeah, back in the day, even before our time,
if you were the fastest man in the world or
the heavyweight champion of the world, that meant everything. If
he was hey, there, he is the champ. If you
were the heavyweight Chamie of the world, you were the

(32:31):
come on, you had the strut, you were the guy.
And if you were the fastest man in the world,
you were the guy. Don't we don't put those things
on that same pedestal. It does still have some respect,
it does, But I could could argue that Olympians were
in much more high regard back in the eighties, Like
you know, they were stars. They were in advertisements, they
were on the cover of Cereal boxes. Like, I'll be honest,

(32:52):
name name a name an Olympian besides Simone Biles and
Michael Phelps. You know if I saw them on the
Weedies box, about who is that Chrustiaschoff Simar medal in vaulting?

Speaker 3 (33:03):
Right, Well back in the day, Ben Johnson, remember he
got popped for steroids.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
Dude, what was that campaign? That's stunk? Like, by the way,
That's that's why it's difficult to explain to younger people
what a big star Bruce Jenner was. He's like, yeah, no, no, no,
you don't understand. He was the greatest athlete in our minds.
You know, growing up. I have a quick baseball one.

Speaker 3 (33:26):
You guys will remember when we were kids, huge deal
when Jose Conseco did the forty forty club and now
there was a few players afterwards it did not a
big deal, but it was front page news when Jose
Canseco did it.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
That is a great example. Now, you know, these are
sort of things that you would argue, quote lost their luster, right,
what what has lost its luster that we just don't care?
A lah Astronauts were supposed to go into space yesterday
and they postponed it. I wrote that a few things astronauts,
the idea of the network TV schedule, the idea of

(34:04):
the TV guide, Like, yo, remember you had you had
a scrolling TV guide on your cable man Must See
NBC on Thursdays, tg IF on ABC on Fridays with
Erkele in full house, like it was appointment watching you,
and now you think like anything you watch is streaming
or on demand.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
We recently explained the TV guide to our middle kid
and he still did not understand. He kept saying, wait,
so it got mailed to your house and that's the
only way you knew what was on TV.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Yeah, Michael Landon was on the cover Highway to Heaven,
and we were trying to explain to him you were
a big deal if you made the cover of the
TV Oh hell yeah. That makes me think of something
that went from something to nothing. The newspaper, Yeah, the
TV guide was in the newspaper, yeah, or the day's channel.
Your mom would sit there reading the Parade in the
morning or something, or the reader's digest, like all these

(34:51):
things were a big deal. Now, no one gives a
deadly squat about it. You magazines. I was gonna say you.
You took the words right out of my mouth. You
meet Danny. You're a big music guy as this Cavino
two magazines, Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated. If you were,
if you were having a moment, if you were the
big woman or guy of that moment, cover Sports Illustrated

(35:14):
or the cover of Rolling Stone meant everything. It did everything,
nothing anymore. And uh, I mean we worked for Maxim
all those years and nobody cares about that. Stuff started.
We started our radio show as Maxim Radio with Cavino
and Rich. I got stupid ones that no one's gonna Sayah, well,
we'll go hit for hit. Here's go hit for hit.

(35:36):
Our last colors at American Gladiators. That's a funny one.
But it made me think of something I had written
down already. It meant everything to kids back in the day,
and nothing at all anymore. Saturday Morning cartoons. Saturday Morning cartoons, Yeah,
was everything. And of course we were kids. But kids
don't care because they have cartoons at their disposal anytime,

(36:00):
you know, they got it was this stupid one on Netflix,
Cocoa Melon. They got cartoons anytime they got the car network. Disney. Wait, Disney,
you have a whole channel, right, you have Disney plus apps.
We had to zoom down the steps, did the Smell
of Pancakes on a Saturday morning, just to catch some
Looney Tunes, to catch some Pewey's Playhouse, to catch the

(36:22):
Smurfs and Muppet Babies, bat Man everything, And if you
missed them, you're like, ah, so that that is a
big one. Things we used to care about programming, programming
in general. That is a great answer. He listen even
our show. If you miss our show, Danny g puts
the podcast up every day. There's no excuse. You don't
need to. I was trying to explain to my kids
the other day, Danny, the way you were trying to

(36:43):
explain the TV guide. I was trying to explain to
my kids that you couldn't pause TV. When I was
a kid, I thought that was that's our old guy thing.
I'm like, kids, you used to have to time running
to the bathroom, getting some cookies and then getting back
to the living room before the commercials were over. That
was an art. Kids today are allergic to peanuts and commercials.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Avenue that there's some kids right now, that don't even
know what TV commercials.

Speaker 1 (37:09):
Rich said, his kids crying when he said the same thing. Actually, yeah, now,
I guess like it's commercial the opposite of the NFL Draft.
The NFL draft went from nothing to something. We're talking about.
It went from something to nothing something that was really
big and now we don't care about it at all.
Let me hit you with one. I'll join him. So

(37:32):
I'll put all three of these together, because it's all
in the TV realm, but the news, Sports Center and
late night TV. I would say late night TV more
than any comedians. If you were on Johnny Carson and
then even later let him in or leto, that was
your break. Now comedians just do a good podcast or

(37:52):
get a Netflix special or something like that. You know,
have a couple of viral videos like Matt Rife on
TikTok and you get your break back. Then this is
even before my time, But I just remember knowing that
if Johnny Carson invited the comic over to his couch,
that meant yo, your star was on the rise. So
late night TV when I was in high school in college,

(38:14):
do you remember Carsenio who does it great? Bit Carci?
But even Arsenio Hall. But I was a letterman guy.
I like Conan O'Brien for a while in college. But
late night TV.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
And then there was that TV strike for what eight
nine months? It was all reruns on late night TV.
Nobody said anything, dude, I didn't.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
Even know it was that way, right. It's like no
offense because I'm sure they're great dudes. Kim ol'fallon Cordon's
done now. But the whole idea of late night I
remember if you would have asked me twenty years ago, Rich,
other than doing radio, we're broadcasting, Like what would be
a cool dream gig. I was thought hosting a late
night TV show was like the pinnacle, like yo letterman
or Leto would be like Craig Kilbourne one day have

(38:53):
a late night Killbourne was the man then who with
Jon Stewart And you know there's still there's still something new,
but I think it's more. I think it's now more
in the form of like a John Oliver on HBO
once a week or a Bill Maher who you know,
once a week, but that whole DAILI like tonight guest
Arianna Gronder, like do you care? I don't think, oh,

(39:15):
I don't give a Diddley squad. I used to love
that stuff. I would stay up watch Conan O'Brien every night.
Cone right, I couldn't care less. I'll hit you with
the gun, and I love Conan. I'm just saying I
couldn't care less about any of that stuff anymore because
it lives on social media and you're not just tuning in.
You don't care, you just want to go to bed.
Let me hit you with a good one. I used

(39:39):
to love that. I used to love the Max Weinberg seven.
No one stays up late to watch late night shows anymore.
I got a stupid one because this might be me personally.
When I was a kid of the eighties, right, it
was a lot of Cereal. It was a serial killer
back in the eighties. And I'm not saying cereal went away.
But I also used to eat a lot of like
Hungry Man, TV, like TV, Dinners, Swanson's Yeah, Salisbury st Yeah,

(40:04):
oh with the little dessert a little apple crumb tree.
And I feel like there was such a big part
of my life. And I know things evolved, things change,
but I don't and I know they still exist, but
they are not as popular as they were growing. They
just have better frozen food like Trader Joe's Little meals.

Speaker 6 (40:20):
You guys remember kid cuisine when.

Speaker 1 (40:24):
Yes, Now now these are things different. Now you get
that in that metal tin that it would come in.
These are things again just if you're joining us now,
these are things that used to matter that no one
gives a crap about anymore. I'll uh, and I brought
you with TV dinner. You know, my parents used to
get with the TV because my dad would love them.
Stover used to have the frozen chicken pop pies. Oh yeah,

(40:48):
those were a big deal. But again, now, like you said,
Trader Joe's, I go there, I get like the orange
chicken and begs of rice like you can make like
a meal at home. Now it's a different works different,
that's all. Did you guys have the fold up TV
trays so you could sit sit there and watch the
Little House on the Prairie, bro Because Michael Landon was
on the cover of the TV Guy. You make a

(41:08):
lot of Little House on the prayer references. You must
have been a huge fan what you got, Okay, Sam,
So a couple of things here. The whole industry of
flying in an airplane Okay, you look at like the
great movie Catch Me if you can. He's walking through
the airport. Everyone's you know, they're like, oh, the pilot,
the pilot of the airplane, of this airplane is so important.

(41:30):
And people used to wear suits on planes. People used
to get like little packets of cigarettes. Now people are
flying in sweatpants and there's unruly passengers. That's where people
are crammed into the plane by the pilot. Pilots hung
over there. But listen, the pilot is still so important
because they have your life. I wa line, can I
tell you something that I do? And I'm gonna pass casualize.
I'm gonna pass this along to everyone else. You know

(41:51):
what I always sam is being presentable used to mean something, right.
People used to wear like suits just every day. That's
just the whole footage of baseball games. One's wearing a
trench piece. Yeah, and now we're wearing pants. We're here
to see the babe. A lot of the kids should
be going to school and pajama pants like they do.
And people are sloppy, but please, no pajamas outside of

(42:12):
the house. Airlines are a pretty good place to wear sweatpants.
So what are you gonna do. You're gonna wear jeans
or dress pants on six hours? Big deal to fly?
I got the number one answer. However, I would say,
I'm not let me back let me back you up
on something though. This is something I do and I
want everyone to do the same. When I'm leaving the
plane from row one, kidding, I'd never fly for his class.
One day someday I have when I'm our next Fox contract.

(42:36):
When I am getting off the plane, no joke, I
always do a little quick as I'm about to make
that left into the little accordion hallway, I always see
if the pilot's a right there and go, thank you
very much. I always thank the crew. I think it's
the pilot. So many jackwads, dude, they got you through
the air from city to city and every working weird

(42:57):
hours and time zones changing. Dude. I always think everybody
say thank you. Dude. If you thank your uber driver,
you better damn well thank the pilot that just flew
you three thousand miles in a metal tube. Manners used
to mean something too, that don't mean as much nowadays.
I'm glad you're keeping them alive. Right. Let me let
me hit one let me I got you. You just said, well,
we're going I got one is the number no one
could beat? My answer, No, it's better than space travel.

(43:19):
I got this gonna be good. No, I'm gonna beat here.
How about batting over three hundred? That doesn't matter at
all at all. I don't know that, dude. I saw
mister famine hitters.

Speaker 2 (43:29):
Now.

Speaker 1 (43:29):
Batting over three hundreds is sign of consistency. Iowa, Sam.
I saw a meme about Joey Gallo. I'm like, he's
still playing. I want to see his stats. He's beat
like ninety one. I was like, how is he in
the league? Kyle Schwarber had forty home runs last year.
I was batting I think one ninety eight. Yeah, guys,
there's not a batting over three hundreds. It's hard. You
don't see it as much. But as a kid, if

(43:51):
you batt over the three hundred, you were the man.
I think we should hold that back up. I agree
with you, man, I think I told you last year.
I'm pretty sure I have this memory not. I think
nine players batted over three hundred last year out of
all Major League baseball. They should be celebrated. Well, let
me tell you if you think that's another one. Answering
Joey Gallows batting one twenty two, good for him and

(44:11):
he's in the league, doesn't make you wonder what you
could bet. And I'm not hating. I'm just stating that,
you know, I root for the guy. I'll give you one.
We'll end with this and if you have any other feedback,
feel free to hit us up at Covin and Rich.
Based on yesterday, they were supposed to be an astronaut
launch and I didn't hear one person talk about it. Meanwhile,

(44:32):
our parents and grandparents generations cared about space, the space race, astronauts, NASA.
No one cares anymore the number one answer because it
ties into sports, which makes it even better. Here in
Fox Sports Radio, the idea of getting an autograph good one.
The selfie has replaced the autograph. Danny g. If you
met brock Bowers tomorrow, your new Vegas Raider, you're gonna

(44:54):
have him sent a NAP. You wanted to sign a NAPI,
so you want to picture you and him, Be like, yo,
let me post it on IG. What are you going?
Give them a business card and say you're coming on
CNR show. You are a regular guest love it. So
there you go. That's a great one to end on.
If you want to add that.

Speaker 3 (45:07):
There used to be the little autograph books that kids
would even carry around Disneyland now and the stadiums to
get autographs in you see kids running around with autograph
books anymore.

Speaker 1 (45:17):
So you got bo Jackson's autograph right next to Goofy.
So if you want to hit us up on more
examples at Covino and Rich on social media at Fox
Sports Radio, and if you want to win a prize,

Hey, I'm Doug Gottlieb. The podcast is called All Ball.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
We usually talk all basketball all the time, but it's
more about the stories about what made these people love
their sport and all the interesting interactions along the way.

Speaker 1 (46:13):

Speaker 5 (46:21):
Listen to All Ball with Doug Gottlieb on the iHeartRadio app,
Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcast.

Speaker 1 (46:33):
Dude, let me tell you something. I'm from the East
Coast from New Jersey, grew up very Billy Joel Household
and Elton John songs are way better. Come on, be
honest with yourself, rich No One song. Billy Joel has
great songs. Elton John. It's like comparing Hell's say, comparing

(46:59):
No I tend to disagree, is comparing I'm trying to
think of something to Kendrick Lamar. Compared Drake to Kendrick Lamar.
They're not good, but one's clearly bad. I mean, I
would say objectively, I'd give Elton a little bit of
an edge, but not a lot. And he's more international
than Billy Joel. By Billy, you ever see Billy Joel's
international concert Billy Joel, it pales in comparison internationally the

(47:22):
Elton John, by the way, really quick Chris called up, Yeah,
said big deal to No deal when a hot new
CD was being released and everybody would line up at
Sam Goodie about like ticket waiting for tickets in line.
So yeah, but that's a great one. Thank you guys.
Iowa Sam. If you're listening to the podcast in the future,
he's playing rocket Man because we were talking about our
space travels and how they meant everything we're supposed to

(47:44):
got out of space this week he got canceled. No
one cared about it, but he was just a big
Roger Clemens fan. So we're playing some Melton John here
on the coach. Rocket Man and your song fantastic. But
other than those, Billy Joel's sung for song, you'll take
any of that. You think those are the only two
you like to talk about Rocky Nerd, there's so many.
He got such for days on his weeks better. They

(48:07):
did tour together for a long time. It was a
co headliner. That's what they called the Blues Come on
after like mid eighties. Billy Joel was stinking Circle of Life.
Early nik I Can named twenty five billion songs. Yeah,
twenty five hours dreams. River of Dreams is corny as hell, dude,
live you put them down, You're offending me right now, good,

(48:30):
that's the point. Anyways, Cavino and Rich. I'm writing this
